Mizuki's Redemption Arc
I know many people dislike the character of Mizuki, but his recently added voicelines give him so much more depth. In addition to that there is a great exchange between Hanzo and Genji, referencing Mizuki's betrayal.
Genji: Mizuki did not choose his upbringing, brother. Try to see him for more than his mistakes.
Hanzo: Absolutely, not! He should be punished for his failures.
Genji: As I was punished for mine?
Hanzo: Perhaps a more tempered view would be best.

Mizuki: Sorry if this is a rude question, but are you capable of feeling regret?
Echo: I often ponder negative past events I can no longer change. Does that reflect the experience accurately?
Mizuki: Yeah...I'd say it does.

Mizuki: Brigitte, if you were me, how would you make a good impression on the team?
Brigitte: Oh, that's easy! Just let them try on your hat!
Mizuki: (laughs) That's pretty good. Wait, you're serious?
Brigitte: Well, it worked for Cassidy, so I'd say it's worth a shot!

Kiriko: That story about loosing your arm in a bike accident. Was that a lie, too?
Mizuki: Not entirely. There was a bike involved.
Kiriko: Still skirting around the details, huh.
Mizuki: I'm not trying to hide anything, Kiriko. It's just... really hard to talk about.
We already knew Shion was an abusive mother figure, but I would have never imagined she would just run over Mizuki's arm as punishment. He is so traumatized.
But I still understand Kiriko's bitterness and distrust towards Mizuki. I like her character development aswell. These are just a few examples, Kiriko and Mizuki got a lot of voicelines this season.
I really love Mizuki's character, flawed characters are just so interesting to me.
Oh yea and bless Overwatch VAs, they are doing a fantastic job.
