I have watched this so many times, I love not just because it’s great sonic media, but the animation is spectacular too, this really gets me as a new animator
Fun fact, the chaos emerald he’s holding is the yellow one. It’s the same one that you get sonic generations once you beat him in a rival battle. Also, something that I noticed when shadow is falling into the black abyss and you start seeing the red seep through the clouds it looks like the black arms symbol. 4:54
i love how Emerl just copy shadow's fighting skills as he fight, Shadow uses its spindash on emerl and 1 second later, emerl perform a spindash. You could say that emerl is either a fast learner, or a cheater
@@dianceperez8540 there is a difference though. Where’s Metal Sonic copies the bio data of others to gain their abilities (I.e. Knuckles’s Knuckles Slam, Silver’s ESP and Shadow’s Chaos Control and Spear), Emerl can copy not just their abilities, but also their weaponry like Amy’s Piko Piko Hammer and Chaos Gamma’s Weapons. In addition, his copying prowess extends outside of battle. Emerl can copy how others walk, talk, run, jump, even copying their personality traits. He can also copy the colors that are associated with him. Edit: one thing I forgot to mention is that he can also copy the patterns of how a person fights.
Yeah the way they snuck lore accurate adaptive learning in was something I noticed too. These videos have been unreal. The knuckles one for frontiers as well
This was absolutely PEAK the freaking sibling moment between shadow and Maria touched my heart 🥹🖤🩵that had to be black doom messing with shadows head and Kirk HE LOCKED THE FUCK IN
Which kind of sucks since I think (at least for sonic) associating wind with speed is more interesting. Everyone does "electric = speed" that it's kind of unoriginal.
Something interesting to note is that the Chaos Emerald Shadow has in the present is the same color as the one he gives Sonic for beating him in his rival boss fight in Generations.
The last Generations trailer finally caught me. I love Shadow lore, and it looks more story-heavy than a lot of recent Sonic games. This cartoon was also a great opening
It seems that Shadow is now crossing the Chain of Memories into the Realm of Sleep. Maybe this incarnation of Black Doom is just that, an anti Black Coat esque manifestation of his own fears rather than the real thing.
This was really awesome and badass also seeing my boys shadow the hedgehog and emerald fighting similar to sonic battles video game was really amazing and awesome in my opinion
Emerl's connection is an event spoken of in Sonic Battle, that it had rampaged on the Ark at some point when Gerald had it there and Shadow was the one who stopped it
I’m interested to see if Sonic movie 3 will be as dark as these shorts I expect it won’t maybe…but then again based on the trailer they definitely are leaning towards the darker tone but I don’t know if it will get as dark as the Gerald scene in this
Bro I legit can’t tell what Maria says in that silhouette scene of her getting offed, can anyone make out what she said? (Edit) Nvr mind, I looked through the comments and saw that holyrabbit2121 noticed it was “Shadow remember”, I couldn’t make out that remember part 😅
@@kenyaholloway-reliford8213 yeah but the voice itself when it hits your ear is what I’m talking about. He’s wayyy too raspy. If he was just soft spoken with the tone he already has, kind of whispering soft but not whispering you know😂 would be perfect. No raspy, only soft spoken.
Say prayer: Jesus is Lord and I believe in my heart that God raised him from the death on third days, Forgive me Jesus with your shredded shedding blood on the cross and save me in Jesus name amen.
3:07 "That's not Zelda!" Me whenever I see HMK do content that isn't related to Zelda. It's so weird seeing one of the TH-camrs I know mostly for Zelda enjoying Sonic lol
I THOUGHT I WAS READY...
Sega is going dark there going deep into shadows backstory seeing Gerald’s execution and Maria getting shot was terrifying
Did you know that the guy who voices Shadow now Kirk Thornton, is also the same guy who voices Siax from The Kingdom Hearts series?
Great reaction man
@@doomarang3208 he can't escape Kingdom hearts, no matter what😂
Kingdom hearts and kirby WISHS they can bring this level of trauma.
The fact they showed maria and gerald death in that artistic way hits way harder
We now know they shot her straight through the heart
I think this is the first time we see Maria actually be effected by her illness
The Shadow Manga showed her illness pretty well.
Yeah I think so
I am actually still in shock, I just can’t believe how good this is, the choreography,shadows and emerls footwork is amazing
I have watched this so many times, I love not just because it’s great sonic media, but the animation is spectacular too, this really gets me as a new animator
YES! I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED ON THIS TO DO A FULL ANIME SERIES!
THEY WAS BOXING BRO!!! THE FOOTWORK WAS IMMACULATE!!! JUST STRAIGHT FADE NO WORDS SPOKEN!!!!!

This makes me curious about Silver's story in Generations.
@@hopegalaxy *Silver Generations* DLC? 👀🤍🦔
i love how Emerl just copy shadow's fighting skills as he fight, Shadow uses its spindash on emerl and 1 second later, emerl perform a spindash.
You could say that emerl is either a fast learner, or a cheater
Whenever Emerl sees an attack or gets hit by an attack, he copies it and makes it as his own. This is reflected in Sonic Battle.
@@JoshioE110right on, he’s basically Metal Sonic 2.0 cause Metal Sonic was the first to do that type of feat

Interesting fact, they do seem to be connecting speed with electricity here, just like with Sonic nowadays.
Its a sick visual and honestly a good change thanks to the movies.

Personally I think fire would fit him better, but sparks do start fires...
@@keelanbarron928That's fair
@@keelanbarron928 but wind isn't super fast

Infinite: Mwahaha I’m gonna give you visions of Green Hill *with SAND!!!*
This scene:
5:10 THE SCEEEEENE :O
And to think that Maria screamed "Shadow! Remember!" @HMK
The last Generations trailer finally caught me. I love Shadow lore, and it looks more story-heavy than a lot of recent Sonic games.

The fact I understand everything you said makes me realize I know too much about KH lore 💀😂
This was really awesome and badass also seeing my boys shadow the hedgehog and emerald fighting similar to sonic battles video game was really amazing and awesome in my opinion
Yes! He and Stephanie Sheh were great!
Emerl's connection is an event spoken of in Sonic Battle, that it had rampaged on the Ark at some point when Gerald had it there and Shadow was the one who stopped it
This made me cry, also Stephanie Stehl did amazing as Maria and Kirk Thorton as Shadow perfect
I’m interested to see if Sonic movie 3 will be as dark as these shorts I expect it won’t maybe…but then again based on the trailer they definitely are leaning towards the darker tone but I don’t know if it will get as dark as the Gerald scene in this
This finally confirms Maria was shot in the heart... Oof.
I never expected to see it… but it’s about tine we did.
Can i just say i love the switch they did with shadow and sonics speed. The electricity and the roar of thunder
Bro I legit can’t tell what Maria says in that silhouette scene of her getting offed, can anyone make out what she said?
(Edit) Nvr mind, I looked through the comments and saw that holyrabbit2121 noticed it was “Shadow remember”, I couldn’t make out that remember part 😅
Yo, imagine all the fights in Sonic Battle animated like this
They absolutely cooked 🔥
Jesus! This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!
To me, this is cinema - Bong Joon-ho
Dang this mini series is hype
Sonic meets Neon Genesis Evangelion style mind f***
LMAOOOOOO I KNEW YOU'D ALSO BE A SHADOW FAN 😂🔥🔥🔥
When you realize Shadow shares the same voice actor as Saïx/Isa
After Frontiers sega locked tf in and Im here for it
Iizuka pulled a Nomura. lol

Please Project Shadow full short film Reacton video ok?
Correct me if im wrong BUT shadow sounds ALOT like dub yujiro
I really do not like Saix’s voice actor for shadow at all
I think about how both Saïx and Shadow are cold because they lost a close friendship
@@kenyaholloway-reliford8213 yeah but the voice itself when it hits your ear is what I’m talking about. He’s wayyy too raspy. If he was just soft spoken with the tone he already has, kind of whispering soft but not whispering you know😂 would be perfect. No raspy, only soft spoken.

um... yeah but of topic buddy
What does this have to do with a video on Sonic the Hedgehog?
