We just gonna ignore the fact that the first Shadow codename was "Black Fossil?" Rouge called Shadow a fossil. Savage.

[@IllikasRager]

Rouge: "All agents need to have code names to hide their identity in the field" Shadow: "Suure. Because *no one* would recognize us if we had code names." Ironic in retrospect that someone named Shadow spends so much time in the spotlight.

[@NightFuryLover31]

Omega: And where is this field you speak of?

[@Li8aGun92]

[@keyanawhitely7942]

That was funny and well timed though.

[@comicfan1324]

This would be the codenames I would use: Shadow’s Codename: “Ultimate” Omega’s Codename: “Alpha” Rouge’s Codename: “Jade”

[@comicfan1324]

Alternatively Shadow could be “Research” “Fossil” “Biker” “Power House” “Dark Avenger” “Ace” or “Chaos Control Freak”

[@Umi_Playz98147]

That's better

[@Gazing-09]

Rouge nickname being Jade... I think Jade is less valuable than emerald yes? Or maybe just call her "Hunter" or "Diamond eater"(I know it might not make sense but in French it's litteraly "Croqueuse de diamant". It refers to women who have a big interest into jewelry, precious stones, shiny gems and valuable minerals. Come to think of it maybe she can be called Croqueuse de diamant, cuz it's French, like Rouge.) or maybe just Diamond.

[@quinnmcnamee3628]

For me Shadow: Revenant Omega:Golem Rouge: Succubus

[@Ging3rSnip3r]

Agreed

[@therealjoker2957]

Yeah, this is pretty much how it always goes. Remember their first meeting. Rouge tackled shadow. Shadow attacked Omega. And omega almost blew up the base THEY were on.... Good times.

You are so right.

[@landontrahan5770]

Agreed

Shadow being a troll is amazing, and Rouge's personality was spot-on as well. Omega was great too for the gags.

[@tropicalbreeze1164]

Finally a shadow thats in character and not depicted as either a psycho, edge lord, or completely void of emotion

[@CflowProd]

The squash and bouncy is perfect, loving the animation. Rouge is adorable, the way she batted her eyes when she was sad that they didn't like her nickname suggestions was super cute. I liked her first set of nicknames honestly. The smooth jazz comment from Omega got me lol

The smooth Jazz part got everyone, I think!

I love how excited Omega is that they're getting pizza even though he can't eat XD Excellent job from the talented voice crew and amazing animating as always Pixel!

[@landontrahan5770]

That scene with Omega is just lovable.

[@sebbb5980]

"I prefer smooth jazz!" Okay, that made me laugh. :D As did Omega excitedly clapping his hands at the mention of pizza. These are just getting better and better! I love the cartoony squash-and-stretch oomph given to the models in movement!

[@liamphibia]

Interesting considering that in Sonic X, whenever Rouge was on screen there's always this "smooth jazz" in the background.🦇🎷

[@SMGP1314]

1:44 Omega clapping is so wholesome. And him trying to eat pizza is hilarious.

[@porobotboyxxx]

1:57-2:36 1. I know Omega shared a smile with Shadow. 2. And people say that Shadow doesn’t have a sense of humor?😏

[@theresahatfield1125]

[@rayvenkman2087]

I think it's supposed to be an attempt at Rouge's Heroes voice, which is my favourite!

Me: Rouge that is a terrifying amount of power to give Shadow Shadow: immediately proves me right. Love this, love any interaction between these three that is just the three of them acting like friends.

The emotion you got from the non-verbal parts of the animation were really impressive. The subtle glances and the pouting demeanors, extremely well done. The voice acting was extremely good, but your animation work deserves equal, if not, greater praise.

[@ComicalRealm]

Fun fact: One of the reasons Sonic can't swim is that the design team and other staff mistakenly thought hedgehogs couldn't swim.
