Ok then let ' s look at the Japanese culture . The only time beheadings happened were after the beheadee had commited seppukuharakiri . But these were honourable deaths . Seeing how Hanzo regretted killing his brother he would not have believed it was an honourable death and not have beheaded him . Genji never really died . Hanzo would ' ve definitely concluded that he died upon seeing the severed head of his brother seeing as he was the next in line to be the head of a crime conglomerate and not a doctor . Anyway , the lore is very much PG 13 , a beheading would be quite gruesome and way left field from the tone of Overwatch as a whole . <| sep |> Ooooh , okay . D I was thinking I might need to go back and move my vote if I ' d misread it .
