Gerald *probaaaably* did not actually give emerl and shadow a replica of maria's soul. It's likely more metaphorically; free will and a desire to do good
@izziibel This was possibly the best way I've seen someone explain Shadow's backstory. However, the part with Emerl, yeah Sonic Chronicles isn't canon due to the whole Ken Penders lawsuit incident. Other than that, great video. 👍
Fun fact, Gerald’s journal, which is included in the Sonic X Shadow Generations preorder, details how Gerald investigated Angel Island’s ruins, discovering the power of the Chaos Emeralds, finding and studying the technology of the Gizoids from Sonic Battle GBA, and creating the Artificial Chaos enemies from SA2. Which actually does explain how he created a replica of the Master Emerald Shrine on Angel Island. Even gave us a hint at Eggman’s family tree, as apparently, he had two sons, and Maria’s father (also Eggman’s uncle) adopted his fascination with archeology from Gerald.
Wait a minute, i thought of something who was guarding angel island back then? Because knuckles is only like 15 or smth in canon so WHO WAS THERE 50 YEARS AGO! The obvious answer is knuckles parents but then now here’s a new question WHERE ARE THEY NOW!
@ yeah but I’m wondering HOW! Like was it old age or what? Because like dude who tf can kill a guardian in Angel island there’s no real enemies other than ghosts
Also in addition to the Robotnik's family tree. Apparently Maria has a little sister but she stayed on earth because she didn't have the same illness as Maria.
Another minor correction (if I missed it in the video please forgive me): but Maria kind of did AND didn't name Shadow. The project was already called "Project Shadow" but Maria was the one that decided to actually give it to him as a proper name after hearing the project title and making the "shadows show the path to the light" analogy.
Apparently, the reason why Gerald Robotnik named the project "Project Shadow" is because he had a lot of doubt that this project would work in helping cure Maria's NIDS, saying that pursuing this project is akin to "Trying to grab a shadow."
the image of emerl being like "we can only create a bond if you prove you are a being of sufficient strength" and gerald just showing him his blicky and emerl being like "aight that tracks" is the funniest bit of sonic lore ive learned today thank you
I derive no greater joy in life than watching Sonic fans pull out the whiteboard and info dump about silly little guys they're hyperfixated on. I'm so mad I never got into Sonic as a teen because I know for a fact my ADHD ass would've gotten so obsessed, it would've changed the trajectory of my life. I'll never get to fill the margins of my homework with doodles of cartoon hedgehogs... alas, I'm now an adult and the brainworms are taking hold regardless, it wont be long until I am 100% Shadow the Hedgehog. Anyway as a newer fan thank you for the lore dump I actually learned a lot of new stuff! This will make a fine meal for my brain worms, hopefully they grow big and strong and eventually take over my life.
i want you to know as someone who just bought sonicXShadow generations and has never played a game with shadow before, this video is literally what i needed…..you’re amazing
my only wish is that you emphasized how ridiculous it is that you have to wait several minutes in the final boss fight until eggman decides to tell you everything. The fight takes like 2 minutes or less but eggman doesn't start talking till like 6 minutes in or some shit
as an autistic person,,, it actually helps me realize that the bits about getting tossed into another universe is FOR REAL and NOT EXAGGERATION, but all the same we need a jar 🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙🫙
0:33 Shadow the HellHog. The scrapped idea for Sonic Unleashed. Instead of the Werehog we would have gotten Shadow's Hellhog form, which is just Shadow in a Dante cosplay (Vergil cosplay would've been unlocked upon games completion)
Can we just talk about how his older brother is the biolizard and his nephew is Eggman and that makes all of eggmans creations related to him in a way? 😭 Imagine the family reunion. Lmao meet the robotniks. Love your voice btw!
3:00 I haven't seen Gerald's diary, so I don't know about that, but Dark Beginnings did also confirm that "Maria, the low gravity only keeps your condition in remission." So yeah, the Low-G makes the NIDS less prominent
Ive got Adhd amd im obsessed with Shadow's switch to the good side and how it makes his personality perform a 180° turn in the finale of Sonic Adventure 2.
this rocks my socks off!! i remember Shadow used to be my favorite sonic character as a kid because he used to say "Maria..." when he died in SA2B. With my name being Maria, I felt a little special playing him, lol. Also, I love super edgy characters so much. he's just a sad little guy. wanna put him in my pocket. feed him warm oatmeal, etc...
You did a fantastic job summarizing all of the lore! Love all the drawings you did on the board! One more detail to tack on is that Black Doom's reason to eradicate humanity is that he actually wanted the larvae of his species to feast on all the paralyzed humans, he found out (god only knows how they found this out) that humans are the perfect food for making the strongest Black Arms soldiers, so that's why the paralysis gas was used.
3 reasons i loved the video 1. 10 year old me is happy cause i learn his fave sonic character lore now 2. good story telling and explanation with cute little drawings!! loved it!!! 3. ADHD... from someone that has adhd I LOVE THE ADHD BRAIN like i love how people with adhd have a really random passion and love to a topic, i can just feel from the exactment in your voice how you exited to tell all the things you lean. a adhd brain is a 5 year old brain that is just exited from everything :D i am 100% like that YIPE
HOW MANY FUCKING SOULS DOES MARIA HAVE HE JUST PUT THAT SHIT IN EVERYTHING 😭. Also great video I was already shadows biggest fan cause he's cool but now I know the lore too :D
This is such a fun refresher to Shadow's lore! Love the art as well, especially Shadow and Biolizard! I have been a huge Sonic and Shadow fan since I can remember and have played every single console game but mostly focused on the gameplay and music side of things. Now that they are taking the lore more seriously with Shadow Generations I am excited to explore more of it and this video is the perfect start.
It's kind of on point throughout, which is pretty amazing considering this is before a semi-comprehensive version of Gerald's notes came out Should mention, Sonic Chronicles was de canonised a pretty long while ago, though it doesn't contradict anything that you said, and someting similar could've happened, as Gerald does mention that Emerl is the reason why the civilisation that built him ended Nice work, and nice whiteboard doodles, I especially like Toaster Black Doom
This is like my brain invented the ideal person to answer my recent Shadow questions & made them into a real fully-fledged person who happened to upload the perfect video to answer them all - this is so sick you rock
This was great information for someone who hasn’t played the sonic games since SA2B. I could literally listen to an entire video explaining all Sonic video game lore from you too.
I've always wondered what the story of Shadow was, and never took the time to fully play the games or read comics because, well, I don't find the games visually appealing from the snippets I've watched. This video was way better than everything I've learned about Shadow previously. Thanks ¿) (Btw, I love your sweater and your hair. Love the colors 🦆)
it was a fun video, I enjoyed listening to the chaotic ramble! I love the lore that geralds journal added, it gave him a lot of personality and made his story just so much more tragic, which is crazy if you consider how little screentime he actually has in the games.
This was actually helpful and I could follow along rly well, so thank you!!! I literally was thinking earlier today that I needed to look more into Shadow’s backstory cuz I didn’t know it all lol
Was very fun warching someone else gush about sonic lore (shadow focused) sonic has been part of my entire life since he came out keep being amazing and get a clip for that mic so you dont have to hold it the entire time lol
I was already aware of Shadow’s backstory but I just HAD to watch someone going crazy with fun explaining all again. But also this is such a good video to show my friends when they ask about the Shadow lore.
I was watching your video all the way into the end until I read your channel name and realized you are actually one of the people who does voice overs for Jehtt lmao. "LET ME POST MORE MEMES!" cracks me up everytime. Either way great video. Subbed!
i think this is my new favorite video on the internet! it feels like i'm being spoken directly to and you're my friend who i love listening to whenever an info-dump opportunity arises
its curious that i made something similar,in my case was a contextualitation presentation to my friends for the 3rd Sonic movie but it makes me fun the similarity
Came on my feed just after watching Sonic 3! I used to be a casual fan of Sonic as a child, but I never really cared for the lore. After watching the movie and now this I can slowly feel a hyperfication coming on... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
One thing to note is that Gerald coming across the mural in Hidden Palace Zone isn’t actually part of the lore. That’s just a widely accepted fan theory that I personally believe myself.
It's so gooood💗 My friends and I once had an Powerpoint party and my presentantion was about Shadow (best 30min of my life). This vido is like looking in the mirror. I love that I'm not only one who did that😂
Some of this isn't really totally accurate since the new journal entries in Shadow Generations. The President was asking Gerald to create a means of becoming immortal, as a favor to trade for getting GUN to stop demanding that he make weapons. It didn't work because the United Federation and GUN aren't really directly related, GUN is an international military that doesn't belong to the UF. So now Gerald had to make a means of immortality and also make weapons, which is why he made artificial chaos.
you made it fun to revisit sonic after a few years , I am a sonic fan again and I am ready to play the new game Thank you for this to catch me up to speed.
im constantly trying to learn more about sonic lore bc i find it so interesting but i haven't played the games (and probably wont, they're not the type of videogames i enjoy) but this video is super thorough!! tysm!!
9:21 does this mean that maria also loves latinas? or did gerald add that in? did that come from black doom??? or is this something he learned when he came to earth???
Yoooo found you because of my obsession with Sonic and the Black Knight and specifically With Me. Then youtube reccomended me this? Love your vibes, subbing for sure
WOOOP WOOP I LVOE SHADOW HELL YEAH!!! I am a bit new to his lore. I’ve known Sonic basically all my life cuz of my dad, but I never knew the lore that much until now. Watching this not only helped me learned about Shadow more, but to also appreciate him more! Great job on this vid man, keep it up!!^^
Just finished sonic gens and i really wanted a quick brush up on shadow's lore before i play shadow gens lol This video was really really good at summing everything up!! Thanks!!

Out of stock. RIP 😭
If I close my eyes its like Tails having a mental breakdown trying to figure out why Shadow looks like Sonic and getting no answer.
I closed my eyes at 11:39 and I imagined Tails saying it and it is sending me lmao

That just about covers it. I have only one question… when did he learn to use a gun?
one of his dads showed him fs
@TurboJehtt he didn't chose the thug life, the thug life chose him.
@@izziibelIt was definitely Gerald, he taught Emerl too
Probably the same place he got his motorcycle license.
Keanu Reeves’ spirit connected with him 😂
"hi shadow, it's me, the devil."
“I love you! I’m having so much fun with you!”
from the bible
"STOP."
@ScorchtheHawk thank you, I suppose?
IM HERE TO CONVINCE YOU TO DO SIN
I love how the Robotiniks family tree features Shin Godzilla, an ultra powerful hedgehog, the greatest terrorist in history and his AI daughter
And a supercomputer that is really impressed by guns and chaos emeralds
And that terrorist metal son modeled after his sworn enemy.
Their family reunions go crazy!!!
Actually it’s shin godzilla, satan from the bible, taskmaster, ultra powerful hedgehog, ai doughter, and the greatest terrorist in history
And then the only normal one is Maria

Also in addition to the Robotnik's family tree. Apparently Maria has a little sister but she stayed on earth because she didn't have the same illness as Maria.
@@Jolynesimpnumber4it was most likely old age. Plus, echidnas irl hatch from eggs so maybe knuckles was left alone on his egg

My Latina loving king has been explained by THEE sonic girly. We love to see it 🖤❤️
As an expert in sonic lore this is 100% accurate
“SA” means something completely different in my mind so you using it for Sonic Adventure threw me for a loop.
I can't believe Shadow's first appearance was in the game Sexual Assault 2. Though I think most people played the Sexual Assault 2 Battle release.
Shadow going to South Africa
