It was a joke but I decided to actually ask Blizzard support if they know! 😛

Here’s their answer. It was SO cute. Thank you Blizzard for such great customer support, even if my question was dumb. Maybe this will bring some light into Genji’s lore. Who knows.

Hello there! (^_^)/)

Happy to meet you! Picture for a moment the thrill of overcoming a difficult boss with your friends at your side. That is the feeling I wish to get you back to today. 🙂

Hmm I am not sure about this one. He is definitely cyborg and has to be able to sense injury so it stands to reason that in all the machinery are still nerves and there are bodily changes that would occur if he didnt. From my understanding of the lore it was his torso that was damaged which makes zero sense to me if his legs are completely robotic, which makes me think that maybe they arent. The machinery might help him walk and feel again, but everything is likely intact. My guess is his legs are under the leg armor and that it was really his spinal cord being severed that caused him to need robotics from the waste down at all, so that he can feel and walk again. These are all just deductions I can make based on what I know. I hope this helps!

As a general life rule, I believe in treating everyone as a friend or family member and I hope that came through in my work. If I can grant your request, I always will. d=( ^‿^ )z
