Teamwork is another big theme. Both Naruto and Overwatch emphasize the importance of working together. Fanfics will show how characters from both universes come together to form teams. They might have to overcome differences in fighting styles and ideologies to achieve a common goal, like protecting a city or defeating a powerful enemy.
A common theme is the clash of different powers. Naruto has his chakra - based ninja abilities and Overwatch has high - tech weapons and unique hero abilities. So, seeing how these powers interact is often explored. For example, how Naruto's Rasengan would fare against a Pharah's rocket launcher in a fight.
Another theme is the exploration of different game mechanics. Writers often play with the idea of how the TF2's class - based system and Overwatch's hero - based system could coexist or clash in a fanfic story. It can lead to really interesting scenarios and battles. And also, the theme of teamwork or lack thereof between the two groups is often explored. Since both games have elements of teamwork, seeing how the characters from different games work together or against each other is quite fascinating in fanfics.
A frequent theme is the struggle for acceptance. Since the OC is new, they sometimes have to prove themselves to the established Overwatch members. Also, heroism is a big theme. The OC usually tries to do heroic deeds, whether it's saving a city from a new threat or helping out in a humanitarian crisis within the Overwatch world. Additionally, there can be themes of redemption, especially if the OC has a past they are not proud of.
One common theme is power - scaling. Since Naruto has such 'godlike' powers in his own universe, when combined with Overwatch, writers often explore how his power level compares to the heroes there. Another theme is teamwork. Naruto is used to working in a team in his own story, and in Overwatch, teamwork is crucial too. So, fanfictions might show how Naruto would fit into an Overwatch team and contribute to their missions.
One common theme is the clash of different cultures. The ninja - based culture in Naruto and the futuristic, diverse culture in Overwatch create interesting dynamics. For example, the way they approach relationships and loyalty can be very different.
Power - up is also a theme. Naruto's own power and the abilities of the Overwatch heroes can be combined or compared in these fanfictions. In the context of the harem, it can make Naruto or other characters more attractive as they show off their newfound or enhanced powers. For example, Naruto using his chakra in a way that amazes the Overwatch characters and makes them more interested in him romantically.
Another theme is the idea of heroism. Both Overwatch and Spiderman are about heroes, and in these fanfics, they usually combine their heroics. For example, they might fight a common enemy that neither could defeat alone. It shows that different types of heroes can work together for the greater good.
One common theme is the redemption arc. Given Reaper's rather dark and brooding nature, many fanfics explore the idea of Mercy helping him find redemption. For example, she might try to heal not just his physical wounds but also his damaged soul.
One common theme is loyalty. They are often shown as being extremely loyal to each other in the face of danger. For example, in many fanfics, Roadhog will always have Junkrat's back and vice versa.
One common theme could be the idea of new beginnings. Mercy's pregnancy represents a new life, and the fanfic could explore how this changes her perspective on things. Another theme might be support. It could show how the other Overwatch characters support her during her pregnancy, like bringing her things she needs or just being there to listen.
