Archie Shadow smiled at Metal sonic before, telling him he could change It’s sad how some people mischaracterised shadow, and treated him as an edge lord with no compassion and love for the world, but in truth, he’s willing to give up fighting just to turn someone to the light side, and he’s thankful that someone once did that for him, and that person is sonic.

[@Yellowboat26]

Considering how rough Shadow in Prime is, this is a considerably nice change of pace for me. He easily could've just continue to scold Sonic for being careless again, but actually helps Sonic. He acts like he's a know-it-all in Prime (at least to me), and doesn't realize that both of them had made mistakes in the past, like Shadow almost destroying the human race. But here, he swallows his pride and stoops to Sonic's level. *I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying!*

[@crimsonstorm6087]

It’s really cute

[@meowsquared]

I love this so much because it demonstrates exactly who Shadow really is. He's not Sonic's edgy dark counterpart who totes big guns and is too cool for feelings. He's a nuanced character who can be a bit tough to get along with sure, but he DOES care. And even if they bicker and fight a lot, he DOES genuinely care about Sonic. He's not angry with Sonic for failing; he's angry because Sonic never listens to him and this time it has genuinely devastating consequences that they just have to swallow. But once he sees just how much it's killing Sonic inside- once he sees that Sonic finally understands and doesn't just acknowledge his failure, but is hurting just as much as Shadow is- that's when all of his anger evaporates. Because Shadow's anger has always come second to his empathy for others.

0:43 That was pretty scary for Sonic to hyperventilate, being the fastest thing alive and all, and Shadow calming him down was the nicest thing ever.

[@jae6xr]

Even in canon Shadow has a soft spot over Sonic, if Sega could allow more realistic feelings in Sonic, I can imagine a possible scene like this. In Sonic Prime Shadow actually could've died trying to save Sonic, so in actions Shadow shows a lot! and Sonic tried to be funny and positive about save his "friends" to be betrayed. But Shadow stayed with him anyways.

[@rafarosso8518]

the sound of sonic hyperventilating make me feel so bad for him

[@herokinemidouri]

Sonic in Sonic Prime is practically just different a lot of the time. And some people realize that but don’t put it together. Sonic has lost everything, completely but not at the same time. His home as green hill, his friends, Tails, Rouge, Knuckles, and Amy, even Big and Froggy, and he has a chance to bring it back but he’s wishing to do it peacefully and not by force. He’s losing it, because he was constantly told that he would probably fail by his own friends and those exact words really pushed his mental state. I like that this comic dub makes him seem more human, but it’s almost too human. But it makes sense. And that’s why I like it, Sonic doesn’t have to be this guy constantly smiling and racing to an end goal as fast as possible with no hesitation. He knows that his friends could probably be in danger, he wants to bring back his home and his friends, but he’s losing them, slowly but surely, so he’s stuck. And Shadow yelling is probably pushing him more but I like that shadow just embraces him rather than hitting him.

[@LuHiKi]

Yes! Someone that has that thought like i do :DD And yeah! You know what hits even harder? The fact he started all this, and all because he didn't hear his friends and proceeded anyway. Making one wrong move and all leading to this, sounds really hopeless if that was me :L

I feel bad for Sonic. Everyone is hard on him for being too trusting; however, I can understand.

Now, he just has to be more cautious

[@KZ_Hanemiya-q1v]

You know, this actually has me stunned... Damn the emotions in the voice, the rage in Shadow's VA, the crying voice in Sonic's VA sounded all too real. And that hyperventilating sounded real as well. I could say I'm very impressed by how they voice acted this comic, it's makes a really good impression of Sonic about what would happen if he failed. I'm just AMAZED...

[@NoHandle44]

This is exactly how I want season 3 to start. Minus the panic attack. I also imagine Sonic still making quips like has has before. But this time he does so as a coping mechanism over his trauma, instead of it being witty banter. I also imagine that Sonic all together stops making decisions for himself and instead follows everything Shadow tells him to do to the letter. Because he can't trust himself to make the right decisions. I usually don't like it when a charcter that's so happy is knocked down into deep depression, (See Ruby from RWBY Volume 9). But I think that this could work REALLY well for Sonic, as long has he keeps his "Can do" attitude, just with a more somber tone behind it.

[@Autisticguywithacamera]

Poor Sonic. I wish they had more "human" moments like this for him where he's overwhelmed and needs help. We get some, but not that many.

[@lizzybunny5436]

Poor Sonic, 🥺the poor guy has been through a lot and now after the whole argument with Nine, I can definitely imagine this pushing even Sonic’s limits. Good thing Shadow was there to comfort him. Loving the shows take on these two dynamic big brother and little brother.😊 I actually hope this does happen, maybe not the panic attack but Shadow comforting him, after realising how much this actually hurt Sonic. Can’t wait for Season 3!😀

[@SpectacleSpark]

Personally in general, I don't actually think I've ever seen sonic cry in media, or well, official media(?), showing some type of emotion for his friends other than his positive cocky self. At least to my knowledge. Personally I like seeing heroic characters who are mostly positive have situations like this, where for once instead of keeping his chill, he actually breaks down or has a panic attack due to a situation like sonics in. Relatably I'm someone who get's panic attacks easily along with anxiety attacks so this kinda comforted me.

WHY NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS DUB? THIS IS SO EMOTIONAL😭🙏

[@jasminemartinez7305]

Hyperventilation or hyperventilating happens when someone has a panic attack or extreme stress and they can’t control their breathing it feels like they are suffocating the best way to help them is to tell them in a calm voice to breathe in and out and or tell them to breathe along with you in calm manner

[@RarestJarr52]

Thanks for explaining what to do to help with that 😊

[@jasminemartinez7305]

No problem! But it’s very important to make sure that you are calm or find a person who is calm because if you are jittery, panicking or even angry it will make the hyperventilating worse which can cause them to faint because when they are breathing very fast they are pushing the air out more than in, in other words it’s like they are choking themselves and can’t get air in their lungs and their brains it won’t kill them but it can cause damage, so like I said best way to handle this is to guide them away from the situation and find a quiet place from loud noises and distractions, and if possible get them to sit on the ground or a comfortable place to sit, do not use chairs without backs for it is not comfortable, if they cannot sit down have them lean against you and ask them to place their ear against your chest the sound of your heart is a calming sound and it will help them with their breathing, if these don’t work tell them calmly to look at you and only look at you and breathe along with you by counting to 10 in hold for a few seconds and slowly breathe out 10 until their breathing has calmed, also make sure that they are warm enough if they get too cold it could trigger it again, also if they feel lightheaded, having chest pains, still can’t breathe, and or severe migraines after 2-3 hours take them to the hospital immediately, however hyperventilation lasts about 30 minutes to 1 hour typically sometimes even shorter than that but make sure you check on them from time to time as you calm them down, I have anxiety but not as bad, my friend has severe anxiety and ptsd and she hyperventilates really bad so I’ve learned how to deal with these situations

You know if you really think about it, Shadow might have some experience with this because of his trauma with Maria’s death. I know that he has terrible, painful flashbacks sometimes and maybe he does the same thing to calm himself down. He obviously knew what was happening to Sonic when he said “Don’t do that” and me personally, I wouldn’t recognize hyperventilating if I saw it/heard it. So he might have experience.

We have never seen sonic started crying or having depression emotions like this ever (nor even mario) and even though this isn’t canon, just seeing him like this its like his first time having such strong, heavy, deep sad emotions that it makes him start hyperventilating. And you seriously cant blame for feeling like this because he made one big dangerous mistake by hitting the shard and have all his friends live in different multiverses which he tries to fix it the best he can, but then ends up making another mistake from trusting someone and making him feel so stupid because he shouldn’t listen to shadow.

Even though I doubt Sega would ever show Sonic's vulnerable state, it would make absolute sense if did feel super upset and utterly betrayed, because this would show that sonic the hedgehog actually feels sad sometimes, that sometimes he's weak and vulnerable, but he would always have someone to support him through this moment of weakness and would give a healthy message that showing your vulnerable side to those who genuinely care for you, isn't a weakness, it's okay to show when you're hurting, because hiding it never solves the problem. :)

Damn that was actually sad If this actually happened,people would see shadow in a different way.

Is it just me or is this one of my fav comic dubs for sonic prime?

im going to cry i REALLY want to see this in sonic prime omg im cryyinggg

[@thewxtchsheart]

Sonic doesn't cry often... It makes so much sense for him to struggle crying and it fr pulls my heart strings i cannae do this anymore

[@thomasdriver1279]

I feel bad for sonic bro he doesn't deserve this, I mean he literally shattered his whole world and trying his best to fix it but bro... I think he had enough than more he could chew.

[@marshmallowmadness3331]

The implications of shadow immediately knowing how to deal with sonic hyperventilating.. not surprising tbh

[@FuntimeFreddyFan13]

I honestly think Sonic Prime Needs To Let Sonic Cry Because He Thought He Could Trust Nine Because He Looked Like Tails Even Though Sonic Saved Nine Countless Times HE LITERALLY SAVED HIM FROM GETTING HIT BY A TRAIN AND HE STILL DIDNT CARE Also When Sonic Hopefully Gets Back To His World I Wanna See Him Cry When He Sees Amy And Tails Again Cause Sega Wants Sonic To Be This Tough Guy But Sonic Needs To Have Emotion

[@ShadowRL_1]

At the ending u can kinda see sonic cry if u look closely

[@FuntimeFreddyFan13]

@@ShadowRL_1 Thanks For Telling Me :)

[@Norinia]

Would you accept being killed by someone just because they saved you from being hit by a train? Sonic and Shadow were running a million miles ahead of thinking yet again. Their plan would have wiped Nine and all of the others out. It’s not so wrong for Nine to not want to side with that. (Now, how he’s going about it on the other hand…)

Brooo, THIS is how you hook watchers onto a story. Literal chills watching this. I want this to be a canon event for s3 but i highly doubt it will be. This would be so freaking good as the s3 opener

Okay I really love the voices, most others I'm not very sure, but this one stands out (in my opinion). This is honestly my favorite

[@Lived_soul1111]

frrrrrrrrrr

[@jdrailfan391]

The reason Shadow hugs Sonic is cuz he gets the feeling of thinking that your a failure. Especially after what happened to Maria.

[@excalibursonic1925]

I hope something like this happens in the beginning of Part 3 of Sonic Prime, cause the last scene we saw with Part 2 was that Sonic put his hands up to his face as if he was about to cry, and Idk, but to me, a scenario like this would be likely cause it would set the tone for Part 3.

[@combatmaster]

I cried buckets when I first saw this comic on Twitter, and now you made me cry rivers!!!😭😭😭😭 GEEZ COREY!!! HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD?!?!?!?!? 💗💗💗

[@KatrinaWright-in6ps]

Shadow probably wouldnt hug, but the gentle shoulder squeeze would definitely be in character (would be sweet to see, though...)

[@jamesvivian2855]

This is the aspect of Shadow I’ve always loved most. Under all the angst, anger and trauma he’s incredibly compassionate and kind. He’s hurting, he’s angry, he’s frustrated and he’s lashing out but the moment he sees sonic breaking down he just stops in his tracks and is kind. It’s good to see this is sort of being brought back in official sonic media

[@yay29823]

This! And I personally also like Sonic displaying strong emotions and vulnerability. He should be allowed to react more in these kinds of situations.

[@electrothecat07]

I love this because not only does it show true emotion like how stressed poor Sonic is, but it shows how much Shadow cares for him

[@coyotix]

Chills. Literal chills. Every time I see this comic I cry, and the fact that you voiced both Sonic and Shadow is incredible. Oh my gosh.

[@skylar_the_eagle731]

As someone who’s had panic attacks in the past, I’m so glad to see how Shadow handled the situation with such care. It’s not easy having a panic attack, and the hyperventilating makes it so much worse, and add everything Sonic went through and the fact that he’s fully aware that the fault is all his…good Chaos, he needs a break.. Amazing dub though, dude!

[@razzsofficialtrainchannel612]

This is what should have happened in the start of season 3
