Ya know what would be horrifically amazing and ironic?
If Zen had had a pupil in the past, who eventually scoffed at the shambali and their message, started to despise them and turned to Talon instead as the leader of Null sector to free his brethren from the clutches of men and eventually ordered the assassination of Mondatta to get back at shambali and zenyatta, making Zenyatta indirectly responsible for Mondatta’s death which his former pupil would flaunt about in front of his face.
Sigh Yes I would love me some Zenyatta sadness that pulled my heart strings, that could be used to humanise him even more for the audience. I’d love me some feels like we had in Honour and Glory.
Oh and that tassel that hangs around his waist better have been a gift from Genji, since it reads “Zen” in kanji.
They are literally working on Zenyatta lore right now. Mccree’s animated short took a year to make and Mercer had to keep it a secret for that long.
Just how in blazes is simple lore going to take 2 flipping years? HOW?
My patience for this company has just about ran out when we can’t get one character lore out for 5 years but they can make 3x expansions of warcraft mmorpg. >_____>
They didn’t say “it will take 2 years”. They said “Soon is a 2 year window”. That means some time in the next 2 years, we’ll get lore (although I’m willing to bet it will be sooner than that).
I did always assume he can walk, because his legs are totally functional. He just doesn’t like to walk or uses floathing as a form of focusing method for combat. I imagine it still consumes some energy.
He does make that one joke about walking in someone’s shoes. Or hovering.
This makes me think we will see a pre enlightened Zen and how he is so obsessed with it now. It will make sense that clearly, whatever or whoever this “Iris” is, made him be able to spiritually reach new heights and he is a believer.
Question…did his brother ever reach these heights? Mondatta walked after all.
Tekhartha is a title and Tekhartha Mondatta was the title of the leader of the Shambali.
So yea, I’d have to assume that the leader of the shambali with the same title as zen reached the same enlightened state as him. =p
Mondatta is also refered to as Zenyatta’s master in junkenstein. When tracer questions how he could trust the countess (widow) after she slew zenyatta’s master.
Brother as in religious/kinship sense or familial sense?
There’s no familial relation between the Tekhartha’s though in canon, since Zen refers to other monks in the monastery and Orisa as his brothers and sisters. And they’re omnics lol.
Nothing says they couldn’t have had a sibling like bond ofc, but that’s venturing into headcanons area.
