LOVE. so with the popular thought that hanzo’s legs are android ... i have a strong belief that it was genji to making them become so; that HE was the one that rid of hanzo’s legs.
my thoughts over why, begin with genji’s reason to JOINING overwatch. the offer they made, (and he accepted) was that they would “rebuild” his body. in exchange, he would have to help demolish to the shimada clan. i can see how, in a sense, why this decision was agreed by him. a young man, that felt BETRAYED by his own brother. a clan that never accepted his way of being (aside from his father), and feeling like an outcast in his own home. and when his father died, it all became worse, because he personally saw no reason to why he should change even then. and it came to make others even more furious, including hanzo, who also became to resent genji’s ways.
so, with the accepted offer, he knew he may have to come face his elder brother in combat. knew that he was beginning a downfall to his father’s legacy. don’t get me wrong, there was a slight war within himself from such a thing. though those within the clan never treated him with welcome, at one point his brother did, and at all times his father. but with his internal war, hurt, and sense of seeing reason why the empire should fall, he pressed on, having to accept what lies ahead.
in the short film, hanzo does come to ask who exactly genji is, and is surprised by his advances. but, amongst the mission of the fall of the shimada clan, i wonder if genji’s anger, and imbalance came over him for a split second when he noticed hanzo, and used it in his speed, and agility. yet, in a sense... other parts of the past held him back; the good ones. which is why, instead of killing him right off the bat, he took away his mobility to keep him out of the fight, with a quick, clean slice. now that his brother wouldn’t be running into danger, and anger was taken out, genji went on to pursue others. and all hanzo could of seen, was a green flash.
after all of it, i can also see that playing into the war genji was having within himself. questioning exactly WHO he was, WHAT he was, and once more feeling like a complete, and total OUTCAST. this time, not within his home, but his own state of being.
