“Sonic 2: The Movie” is already in theaters and brings surprises to fans around the world, including the appearance of the little fox Tails and the Knuckles eagle.
The new adventure of the blue hedgehog brought back Eggman from the world of mushrooms, who in order to take revenge allied with the Knuckles, aiming to steal an emerald that would make him the most powerful being in the universe.
After all the action of the tape, a new character straight from the video games was revealed on stage after the credits that promise to complicate Sonic’s life: Shadow.
Although not much has been said about this new enemy on tape, we know its history thanks to video games. See who Shadow is and what it could mean for the “Sonic” franchise.
Before we get started, be aware that you will find spoilers for Sonic 2: The Movie, as well as other characters that could appear in a third installment.
Who is the character on stage after the concerts of ‘Sonic 2: The Movie’?
At the scene of “Sonic 2: The Movie”, after the concerts, Commander Walters was informed by one of the FBI agents that they had located Robotnik’s secret work, codenamed “Project Shadow”. Seconds later, a security camera shows a lab, and in the middle of this spot, a Shadow the Hedgehog capsule appears.
Shadow made his debut in the video game ‘Sonic Adventure 2’ and has since been known as the saga’s most notable rival. Like Sonic, Shadow is a hedgehog, but instead of having blue fur, he is black with red accents.
Its normal origins date back to 50 years before the events of ‘Sonic Adventures 2’, when Eggman’s grandfather Gerald Robotnik was in charge of Shadow.
This project was a top secret military investigation conducted at the Space Colony ARK dedicated to unlocking the secrets of immortality. Gerald joined forces to find a cure for a terrible illness of his granddaughter Maria, and although he failed in his goal, he managed to create two perfect beings: Biolizard and Shadow the Hedgehog.
Shadow befriended Maria, but could not prevent her death at the hands of the Guardian Units of Nations (GUN), who attacked the base thinking Shadow’s work was too dangerous. To get revenge, Gerald brainwashed Shadow and placed him in suspended animation, so that one day he could destroy the world.
Shadow has the same abilities as Sonic, that is, super speed, super human power and the ability to enter a super form with the help of emeralds of chaos. But it also has other forces, such as the inability to age and the firing of energy bolts. In addition, Shadow can also handle time and space.
What role will Shadow play in ‘Sonic 3’?
After Eggman’s death, it is very likely that Shadow will be the main competitor in a third episode of Sonic, which will put the blue hedgehog and his new allies in serious trouble.
It is possible that the new cassette follows the story of ‘Sonic Adventures 2’ and if that is the case, then Shadow is another victim of Robotnik, because its creator brainwashed him to destroy the Earth.
His goal will be to collect chaos emeralds to use their powers against humans, but since Sonic, Tails and Knuckles have defined themselves as the protectors of these jewels, their battle is inevitable.
