Shadow The Hedgehog

Personality:

Personality. Shadow is lonely, quiet and unsociable. He can be considered the most violent or bloodthirsty character in the Sonic saga, as when he kills Eggman in one of the endings of Shadow the Hedgehog. As the most violent and ruthless character in the series at times,[11] Shadow's cruelty and aggression means that enemies never treat him lightly; He is one of the few people Sonic takes seriously. In addition to his cold and violent demeanor, Shadow can be cocky and stubborn. He treats others in a very insensitive manner, expressing his opinion no matter how ruthless and without caring what the response is. Shadow is also shown to have a sharp wit; during the Space Colony ARK incident, after being called a fake by Sonic, he replies that it's not worth considering fake. [15] During the Black Arms incident, he also mocks Doom's Eye for having problems with GUN. This attitude is reflected in the original Japanese version, where Shadow omits honorifics and speaks highly of himself (if not rudely). At the same time, however, in Japanese, he typically uses the pronoun "boku" when referring to himself as opposed to the more arrogant/confident pronoun "ore" (used by characters like Sonic and Knuckles). In Japanese he is also much more of a tsundere type and tends to have a slightly friendlier rivalry with Sonic, while in English he is too competitive. Alternatively, Shadow acts heroically in other adventures. In Sonic Adventure 2 it is revealed that he was trying to destroy humanity because Maria, his best friend, had been taken from him. In games like Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) Shadow acts heroically, and in Shadow the Hedgehog he even saved the world. Just as Shadow's motivations are never easy to understand, he spends as much time dealing with his own inner demons as he does with his rival, Sonic.[11] In the past, Shadow has had a certain degree of

mental instability, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder. This was demonstrated by instants of post-traumatic memories of Maria's face before and during the events of the Black Arms Incident, although it could be argued that the instances in the later game were simply an effect of her amnesia. On one occasion, at the time of the Space Colony ARK incident, seeing the police sirens flashing caused him to intensely remember the massacre aboard the ARK and,

in particular, the death of Mary. Shadow was soon able to overcome this in the Black Arms and Emerl incidents, during which he chose to move on from the past, but keep Maria in his heart. In fact, his personal journey since being awakened by Eggman has seen him confront the shackles of his past, such as bonds, destiny, and memories. Since then, it seems that he is reaching a point where he can "do whatever his heart desires" in his own way.[12] During the many incidents in which Shadow participates, he pursues his enemies with relentless and unwavering determination. Typically, you will do whatever you can to achieve something you want or feel like you should be, regardless of the cost. Before the war to take back the planet, it is strongly implied that Shadow ruthlessly slaughtered an entire mercenary band not only in an extremely dismissive and uncaring manner (as he didn't even remember the incident a few months later), but also seemed a bit proud. , mocking the mercenary defense squad by saying that they themselves needed a defense squad. He also demonstrated some pretty foul language during the Black Arms incident. Shadow possesses a strong sense of identity; after Rouge falsely told him that he is not the Ultimate Life Form due to a lab report, he told her that even if his memories were false, he was still himself.[13] Likewise, while in the Neo Metal Sonic Incident, aboard an Egg Fleet, he mentions that even without his memories, he is still the ultimate life form, Shadow the Hedgehog. These qualities make him difficult to be manipulated by others.

Shadow The Hedgehog

He is a hybrid being created based on a black anthropomorphic hedgehog/Black Arms. He is Sonic's archrival and his very antithesis in all aspects of his life. Shadow resembles Sonic in many ways, including in speed thanks to his jet skates, matching Sonic's speed. Shadow was created as the "Ultimate Life Form" (究極生命体 Kyūkyoku Seimeitai) by Gerald Robotnik, using Black Doom's DNA, and is the final result of Project Shadow. His purpose was to provide ways to develop a cure for incurable deadly diseases, most specifically for Gerald's granddaughter Maria Robotnik, but he was captured and placed in stasis by the military when he was deemed a threat to humanity. Fifty years later, Shadow was freed by Dr. Eggman to enlist him in his plan to conquer the world. Shadow initially worked with him, but secretly sought to destroy the planet to avenge Maria, who had been killed by the military, but was persuaded to save it from Gerald's doomsday plans. In the process, Shadow lost his memories and as such tried to uncover the truth of his past, during which he met Black Doom and Black Arms; In the end, Shadow regained his memories, discovered the truth, thwarted Black Doom's agenda, and saved the world. From there, he continued his mission to protect humanity for the sake of Mary. Shadow is sharp, always on edge, and has a strong sense of purpose, willing to achieve his goals by any means. Essentially a dark version of Sonic, Shadow can match him in both speed and skill, and can use Chaos Control with a Chaos Emerald. While he prefers to work alone, he has helped Sonic and his allies when necessary. Shadow is basically an anti-hero, and can easily work alongside Sonic and his friends or Dr. Egg.

In Shadow's own words, he is not interested in peace, nor does he care what happens to others. In truth, he just doesn't like fools doing as they please. While this may make it seem like Shadow is staunchly opposed to villainy, he is actually very indiscriminate about who he takes on, choosing to take on anyone he condemns for being foolish, whether they be villains like Dr. Eggman or heroes. Like Sonic. Similarly,

He doesn't want thanks for the help he provides when he does something heroic, believing that showing gratitude is a waste of time.[12] However, despite his apathetic nature, Shadow is not without compassion; Since reforming at the end of the Space Colony ARK incident, he has finally fought for the greater good. When Omega began his attack at the beginning of the Neo Metal Sonic incident, Shadow could have easily forgotten about Rouge and confronted Omega without defending her, but instead he saved her from Omega despite having absolutely no memory of her. He was also shown to be legitimately shocked when he learned that his goal of obtaining the Chaos Emeralds to restore his memories was actually manipulated by Black Doom to wipe out humanity. Likewise, when the Commander finally confronted him with his own memories of Shadow's creation, Shadow agreed to face trial if he was truly responsible for the ARK massacre 50 years ago.[14] During the Wisp incident, Shadow was also shown to be worried about Sonic and Tails getting hurt while trying to save the Wisps, much to his surprise. However, he ultimately remained dismissive about his concern for them.[15] Shadow is often depressed over the loss of Maria, which is why he keeps to himself, but his relationship with Maria is obvious as he does everything he can to protect the planet and keep his dream of peace and prosperity alive. He also maintains a strong bond with his teammates, Rouge and Omega, showing that while his attitude makes him seem like a careless person, he has some compassion, more than he lets on. Still, Shadow ignores most of the kindness or sympathy shown to him; During the Neo Metal Sonic incident, when Rouge showed concern for Shadow when she saw a broken android of himself, Team Dark suspected that

With Team Dark thus suspecting that Shadow might also be an android, Shadow abruptly dismissed his concern. During the Black Arms incident, after Sonic suggested a "friendly competition", Shadow bluntly rejected his offer. Sometimes, however, Shadow is shown to appreciate genuine care; In the climax of the Space Colony ARK incident, after Amy reminded him of his promise to Maria, Shadow openly decided that he would keep his promise to protect the planet.

Concept and CreationThe character of Shadow was conceived by the director of Sonic Adventure 2, the game in which Shadow was first introduced. Part of the team responsible for the Sonic Adventure title was sent to work at Sega of America. It was directed by director Takashi Iizuka, while Yuji Naka stayed in Japan to work on other properties, including Phantasy Star Online. With the team in place, brainstorming soon began on what form Sonic would take.

Sonic Adventure 2. Early on, it was decided that one of the main themes of the game would be the dichotomy between good and evil. To help explore that, the creators came up with new characters that would help Dr. Eggman and challenge the established cast of heroes. Although Yuji Uekawa was assigned the task of drawing the character's final design, it was Takashi Iizuka who conceived the idea for Shadow,[2] with the idea of using a dark anti-hero figure who was similar to Sonic in form, but not in personality. When creating Shadow, there was a proposal to create a character that was as great or better than Sonic.[1] Several of Shadow's early designs ranged from having long spines with tufts of hair in front of his eyes, to capes, sunglasses, or even a missing eye. Shiro Maekawa was the one who came up with Shadow's final design, and considers himself to be Shadow's creator. Even he claims that there are times when he feels a stronger bond with Shadow than with his actual relatives.[1] When designed, the character's original name was "Terios", which translates to "reflection of", most likely playing into the hero/villain dynamic within the game. According to Kazuyuki Hoshino, Shadow's red stripes were inspired by Kabuki makeup.[5] The character was first shown to the public in a trailer for the game, however, his name was not revealed. GameSpot describes what little is shown as a version of "Dark Sonic": similar in appearance, but with darker skin, more wavy eyes, and an evil smile instead of a friendly one.[6] When Shadow apparently died in Sonic Adventure 2, a large fanbase emerged who wanted Shadow to appear in more games, after being disappointed by his "death". This allowed Takashi Iizuka to enter Shadow as a playable character in Sonic Heroes and even star in his own game, Shadow the Hedgehog.[7] In fact, Takashi Iizuka said that they kept

In fact, Takashi Iizuka said that they purposely kept the mystery around the character of Shadow the Hedgehog and that they had wanted to feature him in his own game from the beginning.[8] For the Shadow the Hedgehog game, after feeling that it would be inappropriate to give the Sonic character a weapon as fans had requested in mailers,[9] Yuji Naka believed that by focusing on Shadow for his own game, they could use a different identity. to Sonic's to build on

based on the Sonic brand.[10]

However, Shadow shares a lot in common with Sonic.[17] Although Sonic's speed is described as "unmatched", Shadow can skate at speeds fast enough to rival Sonic's speed.[18] He can also skate at speeds fast enough to rival Sonic's speed.[18] perform spinning attacks similar to Sonic's,[14]​ which are a variation of hedgehogs' tendency to roll into tight balls for protection. Additionally, with the power of a Chaos Emerald, Shadow can warp time and space.

with his Chaos Control.[14]​[16][17]​ Shadow can also use a variety of other Chaos powers, such as "Chaos Spear" and "Chaos Blast".[17]​ Just like Sonic believes in being The fastest in the world, Shadow is truly considered the "ultimate life form", regardless of whether he is the real one or not. By harnessing the power of the 7 Chaos Emeralds, Shadow can use Super Transformation to transform into Super Shadow,[19] and is granted the new abilities of flight and semi-invulnerability, like Super Sonic, and his normal abilities of speed and his Chaos powers are greatly enhanced. However, this comes at the cost of a time limit on the transformation. Although he is mostly a maverick, he also works with his team (Team Dark) and mostly comes across as tough and cold. However, he is not without positive emotions and has displayed these rare tendencies on a few occasions.
