Shadow Dark Beginnings Episode 1 REACTION

[@Tartarboi]

The *He* that Shadow was contemplating of surviving is none other than Black Doom. Since before shadow awoke from such dream, black doom's 3 eyes and 2 alien hands are seen crushing him, waking shadow up in the proccess

[@Jaded_Jinx]

Yeah, it's something I've always wondered too, cause the last encounter with Black Doom only ended with him falling from the sky and was never found. What Shadow Destroyed with the ARK is the Black Comet, but Black Doom wasn't in that, so he might actually still be alive

[@dantekoryu6475]

Stephanie Sheh is insanely accurate for playing Maria

[@RefreshingMirage]

Am I crazy or does her voice for Maria sound like an aged up version of Yui from K-ON? Not that her voice was bad, it was great, just making an observation

[@dantekoryu6475]

@@RefreshingMirage She also voiced Hinata from Naruto

[@kaelin_cherise]

Holy shit Maria is Sailor Moon?!

[@KiraAotsuki]

She really nails it

[@bigguy952]

And Orihime from Bleach Also they misspelled her last name just like Monarch did with Shego

[@Hey-Its-Dingo]

The scene at the end of SA2, where they're all mourning Shadow's supposed death takes place on the Ark. It was very much intact at the end of the game, and in Shadow the Hedgehog.

[@zero69kage]

Just got a little bit crispy, that's all.

[@bigguy952]

11:33 whoever was in charge of writing the credits had a “Monarch” moment, because Stephanie Sheh’s last name got spelled wrong and put in “Sheih” like Monarch’s “Shiego”

[@sarcasticnonsense]

10:12 The death egg gets destroyed and repurposed multiple time throughout the series, but the Ark at the end of SA2 got chaos control teleported back into orbit to stop it from colliding into the earth. EDIT: I just wanted to specify this cuz I also got confused and thought the Ark was destroyed but I got it confused w/ the death egg lol

[@tman1669]

5:10 Sonic Boom Reference Also the ark didn't get destroyed. In Shadow the Hedgehog at the end. That's all I'm going to say. Just know by the end of the game it's still there... Somehow... Still you think at the end of Adventure 2 it would have some damage. But nope. Chaos Control, am I right.👍

[@Barrzo]

I'm glad someone else noticed the attention to detail with Shadow having the Yellow Emerald, they cooked so hard

[@sarah795lopez9]

10:40 Aint no way someone in the chat mentioned Symphogear in 2024 thats my favorite anime

[@Dracobyte]

It is crazy that this vídeo was marked "for Kids"!

[@Camillakittycat55]

Yeah especially since this video is not for kids cause Maria get shot and dies

[@byonty886]

Tbf kids can handle death and dark themes, it’s just they dumbed down the writing very often bc people don’t want to scare them but they’re not stupid :)

[@ZaxFSO8083]

One of the many things I loved about this first episode is how there wasn’t music during the fight scene you you could only hear their fight things like the foot steps, Shadow breathing, the impacts, etc.

[@TsuriaDragon]

I hope and Pray Blaze the Cat gets this amount of love and attention to details like if you agree. 💙💜🔥🌪️

[@GoldLight73]

It would be great if we got a new Rush game, but I wouldn’t count on it. The current writing team wants to veer away from the Sol dimension

[@TsuriaDragon]

We got to let them know this is what we want would love a Blaze’s Adventure in the Sol dimension Blaze to be her own character not a side character to babysit Silver. She deserves so much more and way better.

[@BladedShard]

He definitely *is* talking about Black Doom when thinking about "could he have survived" after "that was no mere nightmare". Remember, Doom has the ability to give intense hallucinations to Shadow cuz of their connection.

[@warioskapelli3100]

10:36 As everyone else has mentioned, Shadow is probably talking about Doom, but I'd love it if Gerald was still alive somehow. People have been saying Shadow's new Doom Wings are a reference to the mural from Sonic 3, right? Well why not go all the way with the reference and have Shadow use his Doom Wings to fight an insane version of Gerald at the end of the game? I think it'd be fun, and if we're going to rehash the origin from SA2, might as well have a conflict between 2 characters who have different ideas of how to honor Maria's memory.

[@nightlydata2181]

but shadow doesn't fight to honor maria. he did that in sa2 alr

[@FrantzdySt-JeanFrantzSt-Jean]

When you and I there’s a new land

11:24 Dude, the way the Biolizard's gills ungulate is sick! (In both ways)

[@bunnyconcubus8468]

Wht does Shadow has the piss rock? Doesn't he know what that does to his blenis.

[@tokihanatsu]

this was created on blender from what I saw on twitter, its soooo gooood

The chin touch from Maria ain't weird. Be chill

[@Akarashii]

Right? Like you're the one who made it weird when it's a wholesome moment

[@Cocoa3596]

I think that emerald isn't really an emerald but Shadow's chaos energy taking the shape of the emerald before he's shooting the chaos spear out He would've picked up the emerald if it would be one

[@adonissonic]

I thought the same thing! I’m glad I’m not alone in this. The chaos spear he shoots took the shape of an emerald just before he grabbed it and launched it. It was all a reflexive and instinctive action. If there was a chaos emerald that he had, it would still have been in his hand after the use. I also assume his first set of actions, after having a nightmare with slightly altered memories, wouldn’t be to grab a chaos emerald and shoot a chaos spear.

[@Cocoa3596]

@@adonissonic yeah i'm glad im not alone in this neither

[@reggielacey2235]

I mean the emeralds get absorbed into the body

[@WillowWytch69]

I'm so confused why so many people have trouble telling that this is 3d animation.

[@Syiepherze]

It is 3D but it emulates 2D very well

[@Mazkon780]

I couldnt tell until like a few days later

[@lovingfool2060]

little detail, but i like shadows eyes glowing and him sparking just cool

[@matthewfierros2679]

You think the last episode will end with rouge and omega asking if shadow is coming to Sonic’s birthday party?

[@Theultimatelifeform2001]

I don’t think so since this is a prologue animation for Shadow Generations

[@tantheman0921]

I'd totally watch an anime of this 😄

[@ShadowRose759]

If you want to see someone do an analysis of the first episode, I recommend Charriii5's video on it

[@orlandocampbell6105]

❤❤❤❤

[@Animedingo]

I cant believe Emerl is in this

[@Preteristboy]

Me neither. But still, it's great to see that they finally acknowledged the fact that he destroyed most of the ARK.

[@jospehpenn3033]

Honeslty, even with frozen shadows, is still one of the oldest characters

[@sonicsenryaku6205]

People forget that Shadow is supposed to age really slowly; like, implied immortality slow,m so he doesn’t need to be put in cryostasis to not age

[@JoshuaJonesTheKpoppingPanda]

Isn't that that DAMN fourth chaos emerald?? Or was it a different color on that level?

[@Preteristboy]

It's the Chaos Emerald that Shadow had in Sonic Generations.

[@GoldLight73]

The Damn Fourth Chaos Emerald is the white one.

[@JoshuaJonesTheKpoppingPanda]

@@GoldLight73 that was my second guess. The level was yellow, that's what threw me off.
