D.Va short “Shooting Star” Everything you missed

I went through and screen captured frame by frame to break down the D.Va short “Shooting Star” so you wouldn’t have too.
Give it a read through if you choose. Let me know in the comments below what your favorite moment was or if I missed something.

Opening Scene, We see Nano Cola D.Va on a building. Possible MEKA HQ.
We see D.Va on another building.
I believe the pink round holo is a pachimari? 
In the distance we see the MEKA outpost, giving an idea of how far they are from land.

According to Michael Chu, Dae-Hyun is a mechanic, specifically assigned to D.​Va.
Also D.Va endorsed RAMAN. XD
D.Va’s MEKA squadron takes on the giant sea omnic Ghost.
No, none of the MEKA’s have tentacles.
The BUSAN MEKA Squadron (Casino, D.Mon, D.Va, King, Overlord)
From Michael Chu each pilot got their nickname from a popular anime
D.Va: Tokki!
Casino: La Princesse Sereine
D.mon: Beast
King: 신기전 (Singijeon)
Overlord: Mastermind
-Also notice D.Mon has horns on her headset like D.Va has bunny ears.
Michael Chu confirmed that D.Mon was on the same esports team as D.Va before joining MEKA Corp.
We see D.Mon helping Overlord out of his wrecked Meka.
From Michael Chu: Their commanding officer is Captain Myung (you can hear her voice over the comms on the MEKA Base point of the Busan map).

“Shooting Star” – Overwatch’s latest animated short

  • Behold the origin story of Overwatch’s hyper-focused and talented mech pilot in the animated short “Shooting Star”
  • This short centers around Korea’s favorite professional gamer and star of the MEKA squad, D.Va!
  • When D.Va isn’t enjoying the limelight, she is working tirelessly to ensure she is prepared for the next Omnic attack. Despite apprehension from the MEKA team, it turns out that such an attack was much sooner than expected!

New Overwatch Gamescom 2018 content reveal.

Tomorrow August 22, 2018 we will get possible 2 new Overwatch animated shorts, lego set reveal, and nerf guns, oh and also possible a new map in the game.

Yesterday @playoverwatch tweeted. 

So we at least are being promised one new short. But who will it be about.
Most people think that it will be D.Va because (everyone has been asking for her backstory since the game launch) the Overwatch team is in Korea at the Overwatch fan event to announce the new story…

We will likely see something with a tropical theme if it is a map or a story we got a glimpse of the Overwatch booth at gamescom 2018 from Hammeh today on twitter.

D.Va, Tracer, Mercy, Genji and Lucio all on surfboards could mean anything but we could get a short about any one of them.
If we get a D.Va short let’s hope they show the giant omnic sea robot!

Also we had revealed they will be discussing the partnership with Nerf (Hasbro) and Lego. We may see live demos of the nerf guns or lego set reveals could be in our future. If we remember last week lego launched the Overwatch section of their website with a teaser splash page.

And today @playoverwatch tweeted this

Revealed by Hammeh today on his instagram story was a video of the new DOOMFIST statue so there’s that also…

Last year we got 2 shorts (Mei and Junkertown) so here’s to hoping for a whopping load of Overwatch and Blizzard content dropped on us tomorrow. Follow gamewatchtoday on twitter and instagram for up-to-minute news and reveals.
