on genji’s height
So I was going through the Overwatch Wiki page and I noticed that while Hanzo’s official height is listed as 5′8″ (173cm), there’s no stats for Genji. I don’t know where the 5′8″ height came from (examining in game models, perhaps?), but it got me thinking about Genji’s height and what it might be. So I’m going to hypothesize based on the info that can be gathered from the below picture.
This is taken from the picture Winston has hanging up in his base in ‘Recall’, and it works very nicely because Genji and McCree are standing right next to each other. The Overwatch Wiki lists McCree’s official height at 6′1″ (approx. 185cm). Again, I don’t know where that came from, but looking at McCree it seems about right. I’m guessing any height between 6′ and 6′3″ is a pretty accurate estimate for him; so between 71″ and 75″ (180cm to 190.5cm).
Now, assuming McCree follows the standard classical male proportions of 8 heads high (a common tool by artists for getting good proportions, and I’m guessing also a common standard for a lot of video game character designs), that means his head is about 9 inches. Since we can clearly see from the picture above that Genji comes up to somewhere between McCree’s shoulders and chin (I’m gonna say chin because McCree’s right shoulder is raised), that means Genji is about one full head shorter than McCree. So, subtract 9 inches from 71″ to 75″, and we can assume Genji’s height at anywhere between 62″ to 66″, or 5′3″ to 5′6″ (approx. 158cm to 165cm for metric users, you lucky dogs). Which brings me to my main point.
GENJI IS SMOL. HE IS A SMOL NINJA. I AM 5′5″ WHICH MEANS I AM EITHER TWO INCHES TALLER OR ONLY ONE INCH SHORTER THAN GENJI SHIMADA. SO DRAW HIM SMOL. WRITE HIM SMOL. IF YOU ARE NOT TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF JUST HOW FUCKING SHORT GENJI SHIMADA IS THEN WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING WITH YOUR LIFE. NOT MAKING GENJI SHIMADA SMOL, THAT’S WHAT.
HOLYSHIT YAS SMOL GENJI IS BEST GENJI
