One of the last scenes in Overwatch 2’s first wave of story missions is a flashback between the omnic monk Zenyatta, the Null Sector leader Ramattra, and Mondatta, an omnic leader who was killed in Widowmaker’s Alive animated short. Ramattra is shown talking with his comrades as he leaves the Shambali Monastery in search of a future for the omnic race in the face of discrimination at the hands of humanity. Mondatta assures him that humanity may not understand them, but they are on the same journey to enlightenment and greater understanding as the omnics are. Ramattra’s not immediately convinced, which is why he’s leaving to find a new perspective. As he goes, Mondatta once again expresses his hope for a peaceful co-existence between humans and omnics, only for it to be juxtaposed by a clip of his assassination at the hands of Widowmaker. It’s a significant moment, because it shows Zenyatta and Ramattra are two contrasting visions of the world with their dead mentor at the center. Given where this scene goes, I’m really interested to see how Zenyatta and Ramattra clash in future missions.
