    David Humphrey and Jason Griffith are literally the best Shadow VAs.

    Would you say that the Japanese script is the "original script"? I wonder if it was translated and then localized further later or if they always intended on localizing the game entirely and that the Japanese script is more of an afterthought.

    To Ian’s credit, due to Sega’s strict mandates on how Shadow’s character should be, he straight up wants to use him as little as possible in the IDW comics until Sega eases up on their demands and restrictions.

    I'd still honestly say I think David Humphrey captured the character best in English tbh.
    He was working with some stiff translations and direction but his overall performance matches Koji Yusa's the closest and best captures the feeling of a very troubled and closed off guy who's maybe not so bad deep down.
    I love Jason Griffith but his Shadow lacks the more refined elegance of Yusa and Humphrey imo, and Kirk Thornton just doesn't do it for me at all.

      I personally like Jason's a little more, nothing objective just personal preference. But you're right that Kirk Thornton isn't a great fit at all. He sounds wayyy too gruff and gravely. It's so evil for no reason

    I think both are good. They have slightly different personalities (especially for Sonic), and both localisations suit their respective personalities well.
    Though, for Sonic, his Japanese personality is very weird to me. I way prefer the badass, American version. But still, that's not on the voice actor, that's on the writing. The voice actor suits the writing well.
