Blackwatch Genji and Oni similarly have red themes, but unlike Nihon, use the default green effects for emotes and highlight intros. Since those assets already exist in-game, it shouldn’t be that hard to change.
I’ve wondered the same thing for the blackwatch skin, but since it is a lore skin, it would make sense that his dragon and effects are green. Oni on the otherhand should potentially be red.
But even his eyes are red in that skin. Blackwatch Genji is supposed to be from before Genji mellowed out and studied under Zenyatta. At this point, he’s consumed by revenge over the Shimada clan and inner turmoil over his new robotic body. It makes sense that his effects would be red to reflect his negative feelings at that point in his life.
