if the comic was meant to be pre-recall, i think a good explanation (tho i’m definitely not complaining about hanzo’s new look) would probably be he’s hiding from his family? what’s extremely opposite of the hanzo they/we know? deviant, modern, straight-up hipster looking is exactly the opposite of how he was perceived in the clan, yeah? so i think, in all honesty, it’s a good plan. bonus: maybe his choices included doing something genji would like, seeing as he still thinks he’s dead (atm). idk
