You seem to be well read on OW lore so I have to ask. Wtf are the dragons?? Are they real spirits?? Is it a hologram?? And by extension, how does Kiriko’s fox thing work?? Is there actually a spiritual realm in OW?? And if that’s the case, is the iris connected to that?? (Am losing my mind ever since Kiriko got revealed cause how can all the teleporting and talisman and her ult be explained with technology)

Srry if you’ve made a post about this already and I just didn’t find it btw 💀

Oh, I wish I could give you a solid answer for this question.

Because canonically, up until Kiriko, it was stated that there is no magic in the OW universe. Meaning, originally, the dragons were technology. Do we know what kind of technology? No, cause this was in yee olden days of Overwatch lore and we were lucky to get anything that related to lore.

But with the introduction of Kiriko, it's blurred the lines a bit, and what's blurring them even more is the fact that the writers are doing things and confirming things that were previously debunked. Such as God AI's featuring very heavily in the OW lore when Anubis was supposed to be a one off villian, and Emre Sarioglu being the same guy in Ana's photo. Meaning it's entirely possible that the writers have changed their views on magic being included in the OW universe.

So I can't give a solid answer until I myself have been given answers. However, I can try and explain how the dragons and the fox could be technology;

First off the dragons because they're the easiest to explain. There have been many theories of what technology the dragons could be but the most believable is that they are some form of hardlight technology. My personal theory is that the dragons are a combination of an early predecessor to hardlight technology combined with some biosocial aspect to make the dragons easier for a person to control (the biological aspect probably being something to do with the tattoos).

As for Kiriko's powers, that's a little harder to explain. Like the dragons I think the fox would be a mix of hardlight and some biological component, since we do see from Symmetra's old kit that hardlight does have support qualities. Her talisman could actually be explained with nanobiotics, we know that after the fall of Overwatch Mercy's tech was basically stolen so it isn't that far out of the question that Kiriko's talisman could be a smaller version of Mercy's staff, using the same homing and healing technology. As for her teleportation I don't really know how she would do that but we do know that self teleportation is possible because of Sombra, Kiriko could be using a more official and advanced version of Sombra's tech? Or maybe she's doing something like Sym's teleport turrets? We haven't really seen much teleportation in the OW universe, only three characters being able to do it, two of them obviously using some tech to do it. So Kiriko teleporting, though not entirely out of the question, is hard to justify with technology since the tech isn't obvious.

Idk abt a chara death (i dont even want to consider it) BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE FUNNY

since this series keeps on reminding me of danganronpa what if it pulls a dr3 and the most innocent by trial 3 becomes the next warden and the most guilty gets transformed into an animal??? Or smthg idk

Also what even is the lore on jackalope all i know is that he seems ro be rlly interested in a black white worldview (trailer 2).

I sent a rlly lonf ask like mb 2 days ago?? Idk if it got thru or smthg thats all srry

- yuno anon

Okay, first off, in light of our recent poll and this ask, I want to explain my thoughts on Milgram character death.

I initially thought it'd be basically impossible for a Milgram character to die before Trial 3 ended, even given, say, Amane threatening Shidou. However, then Jackalope's Second Trial Commencement Notice happened, which changed my perspective. I still firmly maintain that, despite what they say about Shidou and Mahiru, there was a 0% chance of any characters dying between Trial 1 and 2 for meta reasons. To hear some of my thoughts on this, you can check here, or feel free to comment/ask! Also, for anyone who's curious, I'm worried about specifically Kotoko dying.

I know DR very well; I assume you're maybe talking about the end of v3, where, if they didn't play by Tsumugi's rules, Maki would've been the Ultimate Survivor of the 54th killing game? In any case, I really doubt the turning into an animal thing (we don't know Jackalope lore but it seems pretty clear that this specific Jackalope has run several milgram experiments before), but it could be possible that someone could become the next warden. I still haven't read the light novel or a major summary of it; there might be more context in there, where I know the Es who's warden is a different "Es."
