✨Sonic X Shadow Generations is out!

So I drew Shadow with his Doom Wings in whitespace! :D

Uhh I don't think this is going to comfort anyone, Sonic.

I love this fucking squid

I'm never going to finish this but here

In Utero

Alternative

IT FINALLY CAME IN! I CAN STOP AVOIDING SPOILERS NOW! I’M FREEEEEE

Sorry but I have to rant about this here bc SHE WAS DEF REFERRING TO SONIC AND I STAND BY THAT.

Abe of course thought of Maria, because he knew Maria and yes, at the time, Maria was the only one to get through to Shadow.

But Rouge didn’t know Maria. She may have heard stories, but she doesn’t know her. She never saw their interactions. So why would she reference Maria like that? It doesn’t make sense. It instead makes for sense for her to be referencing Sonic, the one person she’s actually seen get to Shadow.

It is canon and has been said that Sonic is the only one whose words can reach Shadow’s heart. We’ve literally seen Sonic get Shadow to stand down (e.g. IDW comics issue 6)

Also the way Rouge smiled, I don’t think she’d smile like that if she were referring to Maria. Everything just points to her referring to Sonic.

This only adds to the parallels between Sonic and Maria. Two generations, one who knew Shadow on the Ark and someone who works with him now, both having that one person in their head who can get to Shadow. I think it’s actually perfect that they added that comment Abe made about Maria, just driving home the point that Maria and Sonic have parallels in regard to Shadow.

Anyways thank you for listening to my insane rambles :)

We can't escape this little guy

guys holy shit he was here all along

Sonadow shippers!

*dramatic music*

Assemble

Chat, WE ARE BACK!!!

IGN gave Shadow gens a 9, y’all we are about to EAT

So, I forgot to post this back when the Dark Beginnings Bonus Ending can out but oh well.

Spoilers for the Bonus Ending from Dark Beginnings.

OMG, Chat I feel like this is where the game is going to start at Shadow's side of the story in SXSG.

No words, Peak Title.

INSANE TITLE???

Welcome to another analysis Of The Analysis Post for The Final / Last Episode Of SxSg - Dark Beginnings: Into The Ark.

Spoiler Warning for The Final/ Last Episode Of SxSG: Dark Beginnings - Into The Ark

{New Information: Take 3}

Abe agreed with Rouge's argument which provides my claim that I've made about Maria from the last post before saying that "And she was lost a long time ago" which this line interesting me because I did hear some people having theories about why are Maria and Gerald (The Professor) aren't illusions from the story trailer and if this ture when the game comes out then this line was foreshadowing (pun unintended) in a way.

I'm a part of Maria & Gerald aren't illusions camp since because the game is getting a remake (kinda) is Generations which the game's theme is about time travel. (Kinda)

So, My two theories about why are Maria & Gerald are here if they aren't illusions in the white void.

My 1st theory is that they are from the past, both are pulled from their own timeline into the void where they meet the present Shadow and mistake him as their Shadow or Past Shadow which is going to make their meeting a lot more sadder.

Or my 2nd theory is that both of them are ghosts that somehow got into the void and met Shadow, again which is also going to be a sad moment to see.

(I mean Ghost does exist in the STH main games, so it isn't that much of a stretch to make that conclusion & same with the meeting the past since that was the theme of Generations, too)

Hello, welcome back to another analysis post for the final episode of Dark Beginnings Prolong.

Spoiler warning for Dark Beginnings Prolong if anyone hasn't seen it.

{Ready For Takeoff}

After that huge but also amazing fight scene, we are cut to Shadow, now in the shuttle while Rouge and Omega are in the station preparing the shuttle's take off.

This could inter take that Rouge (probably) has a talent in technology and this one of these scenes that we see her doing.

My headcanon for Rogue is that before she joined G.U.N, she had a talent in technology while she was younger. She used her talent to became a hacker to hack into the security system in buildings to block it to steal the gems and jewels. She was dubbed "The Jewel Hacker" because of that reason.

G.U.N would later be in contact with Rouge / The Jewel Hacker after hearing about her hacking skills and hired her as their hidden hacker and fighter agent

{Error}

Until the security detected an unauthorized launch that was going which caused the weapons to aim at the shuttle that Shadow was in.

- End Of Part 5 -

Welcome back for the analysis post for the final episode of Dark Beginnings Prolong.

Spoiler warning for anyone who hasn't seen Dark Beginnings.

{Taking Action}

Omg, the action scene is so wonderful and the mixture in the art style is just so amazing and I love it.

The way that Shadow throws the rocket towards the target is just so cool like it's so amazing.

- End of Part 3 -

Hi everyone and welcome back to the analysis post for the final episode of Dark Beginnings Prolong.

Spoiler warnings for anyone who hasn't seen the series before hand.

And lastly, sorry if I wasn't posting, I got a bit busy with my personal life.

{Shutter is getting Ready}

After activating the shuttle to take off, Shadow shows a smirk or smile wasn't by animation accident!?

(It's about time that my boy feels happy)

Also Omega and Shadow are very siblings coded when Omega calls dibs.

{Unforeseen Act}

So yeah, Team Dark got to find out by one of the G.U.N members which they needed to stop them from stopping in Shadow's plans.

- End Of Part 2 of the analysis post -

Hello everyone, welcome to my analysis for the final episode for Dark Beginnings.

Also, I have a lot of screenshots that I took when watching the episode, so buck up because it's going to be a wild ride!

Spoiler warning for anyone who hasn't seen Dark Beginnings: The Final Episode.

{Here At Last}

During the beginning of the episode, it's been said that, Team Dark was the first mobiens that Shadow share the full context about his past.

That shows how he trusted Team Dark the most in this franchise.

{Preparing The Shuttle}

After reaching their destination, the trio went out to the station to launch the space shuttle for Shadow.

- End Of Part 1 Of the Analysis Post for the Final Episode from Dark Beginnings -

Welcome back to Part 3 of my analysis post of Dark Beginnings: Episode 2

Spoiler warning for Dark Beginnings: Episode 2 if you haven't watched it.

{Your Beauty never scared Me}

Maria continues to say that Shadow while yes, having the Black arms genes in him but that reason doesn't define who he is but only thought what he does defines him as a being.

This shows how Maria wants Shadow to just become he has the roots of the Black Arms, that doesn't mean it defines him, it is the way that he chooses actions that he makes.

{You will never be alone, again}

Before she fades away, she said "Then you'll find even more people you can trust" to Shadow which will be foreshadowing (pun intended) that he is going to let others into his life and put this line in your head since I'll mention this line, later on with the analysis.

{Fighting for Answers}

We could see that in the present day, that Shadow is fighting a bunch of badniks to find answers to his questions that he was talking about from the previous episode.

End of Part 3 of the analysis post for Episode 2.

Okay, Dark Beginnings: Episode 2 just dropped and After watching the whole episode & taking screenshots of it, I'm here to analyze the episode because I can >:D

Also, spoiler warning for Dark Beginnings: Episode 2 if you haven't watched it and this would probably be a multi partier post because of the picture limit on Tumblr posts.

{The Monster within Me}

Okay first, I'm surprised that the Sega or Sonic Team remembers the fact that Abe exists and was supposed to be Maria's childhood friend before working with G.U.N, glad they remember him.

With this scene right here, I'm guessing that Abe as a kid and maybe the other scientists saw Shadow has some type of monster which is supported by this line "Get that freak away from me!" That Abe said right in front of Maria.

Maria gets mad at him by shouting his name while he's running before entering the room. From this, Maria doesn't really like when others talk Shadow as like a monster, which is sad since he was supposed to be a G.U.N protector & cure to illnesses especially Maria's illness.

Maria sees Shadow while he's looking at a glass capsule with something in it, she goes up to him to check up on him which means Gerald (probably) and her is the only one in this Ark that sees him as a living being which in a way adds in more insight on Shadow's reasons (probably) back in SA2 before getting his real memories back.

This is the end for part 1 of the analysis post for Episode 2, I would like to see your review or analysis either in the comments or reblogs for this episode.

Lastly, this is going to be the final part for the first episode of Dark Beginnings prolong analysis post

So, spoiler warning for anyone who hasn't seen it yet which I highly watch before reading this post, please.

{The Protector & Their Broken Promise}

Omg, everything from colors in the background to the silhouette of Maria before meeting her demise.

Everything about this episode shows how tragic, Shadow is, a protector who wants to keep humanity safe due to his dear friend's wishes before their demise.

{Just A Nightmare...Right?}

The dreams end and we cut to Shadow in the present day, where doing some type of training before thinking to himself about what just happened and a question about that strange nightmare before the end of the first episode.

- End Of Part 3 / Final of The Shadow and Maria episode -

Okay, this is going to be part 2 of my Dark Beginnings prolong analysis post that I've been doing.

Spoilers for Dark Beginnings,.if you haven't seen it, then please watch it. It's so good 👍

{Is It Real or All In My Head?}

Okay, after the fight with Emerl, we could all see Shadow in some type of dream sequence, I'm guessing that he's having nightmares of that day when the ark got raided by G.U.N.

{The Professor & Their Creation}

After the sequences, we are cut to Shadow with the professor in this cell before y'know, okay that Sega put this in here for this animation, shows that they do remember when writing for their characters & their traits.

It also reminds me of how when Sega lets the writers and animators cook then they can cook like this!

(Edit of 9-26-24: I should have mentioned this when writing this but oh well, but I've been noticing that the professor is getting a lot more screen time or at least expanding his and Shadow's relationship since in the Trailer for the STH 3 movie, he's shown to be alive which this could mean that Sega are deciding to explore more of Shadow's and the professor's relationship, which is pretty cool)

- End Of Part 2 -

So, I watched Dark Beginnings prolong and I have some thoughts.

Spoiler warning for SXSG: Dark Beginnings prolonge.

If you haven't watched Dark Beginnings then, please watch it before reading this post.

Also, the last thing I wanted to mention is that this post is going to be split up into a couple of parts since I can't fit all the pictures from the animation, so yeah.

{The Calm Before The Storm}

They make her so adorable in this art style and their dynamic is so adorable.

The fact that a lot of doubt about this role in life before Maria comforts him, just shows how Maria wants his role in life to be valued as her and the rest of Earth / Mobius

{The Battle In The Ark}

YES!!! My boy, Emerl is here and OMG, these action fights are so awesome and same goes for the animation.

- End Of Part 1 -

Sonic fans are feasting so well, right now for 2024 & 2025
