Shadow's Doom Powers must have been a bit of a rug pull for Mephiles, too. Imagine him thinking he knew all about Shadow's skills, having planned his attack and quips for who knows how long, only for Shadow to turn into a squid.
I'm expecting chapter 5 to either be the manga's conclusion or for it to reveal that the whole Shadow Generations adaptation thing was a fakeout and the rest of 2025 will be an original story about Shadow vs. Black Doom. But I don't know if CoroCoro's editors are quite galaxy-brained enough for that. And Higurashi Gou already pulled a similar stunt.
Mephiles was also in a time paradox back in 2006 because of Shadow trapping him in the Scepter, which leads to Mephiles attacking Shadow when he's freed, leading to Shadow going back in time to seal Mephiles in the Scepter, repeat, repeat, repeat... Mephiles: "... If I had a nickel for every time Shadow was responsible for me being stuck in a time loop, I don't know what I'd have, I don't know what money is, help me, I'm suffering, you're all laughing at me and I'm suffering..."
They might be squishing the later chapters together into fewer chapters based on the poor performance of SXSG in Japan. It's apparently not doing well at all over there, which is sadly a recurring problem for Sonic games in Japan. Sega has just never gotten him to click in their home country for some reason.

I imagine drawing all of Metal Overlord for multiple pages would've been hell on the artist
Can’t believe the ultimate manipulator is the one warning about being manipulated. That’s some irony.

It’s actually interesting they are adapting shadow generations for this manga.

0:40 I predicted that a while ago. Saw an advertisement for it in IDW
I'm really sad that Sonic vs Shadow fight won't make it to the manga.
