Shadow 101: A Brief History of Shadow the Hedgehog

shadow was not sealed by gun, he was put in a space pod by Maria to save shadow from gun and they pod got sent to earth.

It took me nearly a decade to realize that the Archie comics name for his rings are not the official name.

This is actually the second time i can recall Eggman saying "lives up to the hype" is that just a catchphrase he has in one of the games I havn't played yet or a coincidence?

Doesn't anyone think it's interesting how Dr.Eggman has nice recommendations about Shadow and doesn't stay anything good about Sonic?!

Anyone else love that they seem to not be ignoring certain games and lore anymore! Awesome references!

How does Eggman have footage of the events of Sonic 06 if everything got undone?

Bro I'm so hype for this

Interesting that they included footage from Black Knight of all places. Maybe we will get a stage from there in Shadow's campaign after all.

...Shadow's confused reaction to that could be kinda funny actually. "I recognize all these other places but what the heck is with this medieval stuff?"

Also brief footage from Battle, highly appreciated.

I'm preordering this game for my PS5. I need this game. Shadow the Hedgehog is my FAVORITE character in EXISTENCE~!!!

2 Bothersome hedgehogs.
Poor Amy and Silver, Left out again.

Imagine shadow did not had a soap shaos

Wait a minite....shadow has 4 limiter rings....why do they only show 2?

Can we get adventure 1 and 2 on switch or evercade?

"Ageless" huh? Definitely a stretch, but that little trait has potential for an awesome "Old Man Shadow" story.

And now he’s going to be the hedgehog of the year.

I LOVE YOU SHADOW YOU MAKE ME CONFIDENT LIKE YOU

"I never knew her, but I still take that personally."

I love that phrase, it reinforces a headcanon I had about the only 2 things in the world for which Eggman would show genuine affection and concern are: his creations (Metal or Sage for example) and his family.

this question is from realshadowfan01

I can’t believe they made a coherent timeline out of the games that seem to make the story more confusing than anything.

Are inhibitor and limiter rings just interchangeable lol?

Como que maria estaba enferma !!!????

I’m surprised Eggman cares about Maria.

I like how at the end of egg man should’ve says he’s very dangerous considering same speed of sonic but he’s stronger and smarter and has way more abilities that involve chaos emerald as well and also shadow would just kill Eggman straight up. I mean he doesn’t his own game for an alternate ending, showing that he would do it, let’s him live because he has fun with it or Eggman gets away or it’s a team up, but shadow would just straight up kill eggman on the spot if he had the chance you know considering how strong shadow is this is probably reason why he has been in the franchise for a long time. I don’t understand why people say sonic would win a fight against shadow like no not at all is the strongest out of the whole cast sonic and shadow had crazy feats back in the 2000s but now it was like egg man and then maybe a couple of zeti then infinite but shadows enemies are literally the devil who is his dad a huge lizard that is his brother a devil that takes shadows form people need to stop sleeping on shadow this comment is already long enough so I’m not gonna go anymore in depth, but there is so much more to talk about to just explain how strong shadow is considering he has to kill his own brother the devil himself, which is also his dad, and then another devil that steals his form and probably even more stuff that we haven’t seen and we’re going to see it in generations (also hella off-topic but it’s kind of funny how shadow is technically eggman’s half uncle the only way I don’t see shadow eggman is just them talking about family that used to be alive)

I can't believe they used Black Knight footage for this! This is peak

oh shit

Whoever writes these 101‘s should write a full sonic script for a sonic game, they understand the characters so well and I have the feeling that person could create a truly magnificent game

the voice acting is so unbelievably good here

Eggman: RED STRIPES, JET BOOTS!!

Shadow: This will never be brought up again

It was brought up again, also, they were “air shoes”

thAT was kinda wheat

06 CLIPS?!?!?!?!?!?! in 2024?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! THANK YOU SEGAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

It gives me a lot of hope to see them not shy away from including the death of Maria who is a child getting gunned down by the authorities. Its an important piece of shadows past. Big points in my book for not chickening out on it.

I've watched hours upon hours of shadow lore 💀 this 3 minute breakdown ain't gonna cut it

the eggman development here is amazing btw

HE IS.... him

Excuse me Sega but why is shadow getting his meat ridden soo hard in this video like, we all know that shadow looks cooler than Sonic but just because shadow looks cooler doesn't mean that he's stronger than Sonic?!?!? Sonic and Shadow are equals and if you guys are going to make eggman meat ride shadow, let him meat ride Sonic! Hell even silver. We haven't seen silver since forces, and it left a pretty bad taste in for the silver fans, (including me) i don't want to see this treatment only for shadow but other characters too like espio the chameleon. How did espio (a fan favorite) become a ninja and a detective. Metal sonic? Is there more to metal sonic to just being Sonics copy? There are plenty of fans (including me) who wanna see a wide and different variety of character backgrounds! Thank you anyway Sega ig...

The Ultimate Lifeform, Shadow the Hedgehog has already fallen into the wrong hands.

If Sega, Sonic Team, Sonic the Hedgehog (himself), Dr. Eggman, and Rouge the Bat never found Shadow (between Sonic Heroes-present) in the first place, none of this would have ever happened.

But now it's already too late. And it's all our fault.

Sega referencing my favorite Sonic game (Shadow) like this gives me LIFE.

MORE, I NEED MORE

Who else needs the nutshell?

This video is actually amazing 😂 Love it

Sega totally hyping a STH REmake

06 and Forces gameplay? That's quite bold

Wow. We went for a real tear jerk turn there. Didn’t we?

That felt like a motivational speech and I loved it

OH DAVID HUMPHREY SHADOW HOW I MISS YOU 😭😭
