The evolution of Shadow's smiles (2001-2024)

[@michaelb.2662]

Shadow rarely smiles, but when he does, he still looks cool

[@MervediMambambu]

in sa2 and shadow x is cool in shadow forces i dont know why he needs to smile and shadow generations made the sonic fans shock but shadow smiling in shadow x just shows him how cool he is

[@MervediMambambu]

also when shadow smiles his even cooler imo

[@sonicgalaxy27]

Shadow only smiles occasionally. Not all the time.

[@chrysyengo9748]

Yep it's true he does smile like that even when he wants too

[@ProjectShadowULF]

In Sonic Heroes, Shadow Smile too

[@Youngboy_SL]

Sonic x Shadow Generations is actually the first time where I see Shadow does a happy smile and not a smug smile it really brought a tear to my eye because it showed how happy he was able to talk to Maria again

[@SorenAlba54]

I would say the same but I recalled that in Sonic X, after he remembered what Maria actually asked him to do from listening to Chris, he smiled when he finally knows his purpose before heading off to help Sonic and the others.

[@Youngboy_SL]

@ yea but I’m talking about the games cuz like I said you only see a brief smirk or a smug smile from Shadow you never get to see Shadow actually does a happy smile

[@SorenAlba54]

@@Youngboy_SL True

[@Raisin_Udongein_Inaba]

He smiles quite sincerely at Big too

[@Silver_Varian]

That last one is the only really happy and non-arrogant smile, that's very sweet, obviously it's with Maria! :)

[@kyurei4478]

Authentic smile.

[@supremeoverlord0]

2:18 The way he slowly lets her hand slip out of his KILLS me. It's such a delicate, heartfelt motion that makes me all weepy feeling.

[@imsomehowstillalive]

Their relationship is so cute 🥺 and I mean it in a friendship way

[@AHappyBlackGuy]

2:10 Might have been the first happy Shadow smile as opposed to the smug arrogant one he normally does

[@michaelb.2662]

Yeah , at that moment, he was actually happy for real when he was with Maria

[@Andythesonicfan]

@@AHappyBlackGuy actually he smiled happily in forces a couple of times

[@lAlwaysHopel]

I interpreted that as a tease of the Shadow that lived in the Ark, before the whole event happened and changed him.

[@AHappyBlackGuy]

@@AndythesonicfanNot really. Look at 1:22 he just gives off a smirk because he respects Sonic’s abilities and that the pending danger is gone. It’s like that smirk that your face automatically does when something really cool happens and you can’t help but respect it for lack of a better comparison. But that one scene with Maria it’s cause he’s just genuinely happy to be with his best friend again. It’s all in his eyes they’re completely different there

[@Andythesonicfan]

@@AHappyBlackGuyhe also smiled when the virtual reality sun disappeared

[@LostEngineProductions]

This is the first time i've seen Shadow make a genuine smile out of happiness instead of a devious one

[@mikdan8813]

Shadow: (smiles) Maria: so you're not going to fight? Shadow: let's say I'm going to... kill him with kindness

[@brentvalliere7624]

He also smiles when he meets big the cat

[@KJ_lol]

0:51 WHY DOES SHADOW’S SMILE LOOK SO UNCANNY IN THIS GAME 😭💀

[@BlustreakG]

I think when everyone got so hyped and happy for Shadow smiling in Sonic X Shadow Generations, was the fact that it was completely genuine. 2:10 His eyes widen and his smile pushes back on his cheek. Whoever animated this scene probably really wanted to emphasize that this smile was different.

[@EbubechukwuChukwuma-oy7cr]

1:27 that was really funny! 😂

[@yaolofe3852]

Eggman: WTF

[@TronicSSJ07]

[@DaveLoga-wh5qu]

Shadow smiling is very abnormal💀

[@rickyronny4019]

@@DaveLoga-wh5qu yeah it is because him frowning has become his most defining expression

[@kyurei4478]

[@Thaumiel98]

It depends. Shadow smiling at Maria is not abnormal.

[@vantablackecho]

Shadow smiling at Amy like “WTF are you doing 😀”

[@dashahuie1507]

Bro when he smiles he looks more badass

[@kyurei4478]

The fact that this video is so short is the funniest thing.

[@xulnad]

He also smiles when he meets Big The Cat in Kingdom Valley

[@SLG3YouTube]

1:27 Got me rolling

[@The-Black-Fang]

In SA2, he isn't smiling. His mouth is on the side of his muzzle because of the angle he's in but his smile is a flat line.

[@mondae5957]

He also smiles/laughs in his own game

[@electrothecat07]

Shadow smiling probably reminds him of the times when he was happier

[@Minty_Warrior_The_Cookie]

On the thumbnail the 2024 image looks like shadow is a serial killer 😂

[@daseal1479]

Funny thing is, Amy is shown as Latina when depicted as a human. Sooo its not wrong.

[@aaronmoe5830]

He also smiles when the avatar stops the sun from crushing everyone.

[@valmid5069]

Cant wait for more content!

[@AnaCardozo-b8i]

when he smiles is when he IS happy, the real happiness he feels after a long time

[@Joel-wr8dr]

Shadow he always has very cool smiles that what makes him so cool and he will always be the ultimate life form

[@NoahAssena]

Andrey Louis has no more ideas 😂

[@griffwilson5932]

I feel that the smile he did with Maria in Generations is the only smile where he was genuinely feeling happy. The others are more along the lines of being cocky, and smiling at how pathetic things can be.

[@Mr.Miniguy]

He smiles at the end of the Team Dark campaign in Sonic Heroes when Rouge tells him he's going after the Master Emerald

[@Caybee1999]

There’s also Shadow 05, where Shadow smiles when having an evil laugh in certain endings.

he smiles in heroes and rivals 1 & 2 also

Huge character development

There’s 2 kinds of smiling shadow does he’s smiled when he’s genuinely happy for something good Then his evil smile when he was evil

It’s nice to see him smiling.

He looks like Vegeta when he smiles man!

[@rickyronny4019]

How? I know y’all think they’re similar but what? 😂

[@otaku-san1945]

He's inspired by Vegeta, so it makes sense

[@michaelb.2662]

So that's why Shadow gives me Vegeta vibes

[@rickyronny4019]

@ or maybe it’s cuz if their similar roles in their respective franchises, being the most popular rival of the main character with the most depth and development

[@rickyronny4019]

@ he’s not inspired by Vegeta. Sonic took some inspiration from Dragon Ball, and of those things, Shadow is not one of them

[@exe5998]

Shadow in sonic forces smiled in the cassette when Eggman started counting down the time until the end of the world

[@MegaGeek-gr6ts]

Shadow also smiles when he meets Big.

[@SupremeSR]

Automatically clicked on this video wanting to see ALL of Shadow’s smiles.

[@STHFan1992]

Same here, this video is not consistent enough, considering that some of them are in the wrong order, the years weren't specified for each media he mentioned, and he didn't include all the media Shadow smiled in.
