[teamrocketsburner]

seeing complaints about the new shadow manga chapter and they’re mainly about the panel with Maria saying she loves Shadow. Have none of the people complaining ever said “I love you” to their sibling before??

[kaban-bang]

That's like his stomach plug, on the ground back there. You don't see that every day. I mean that doesn't really even seem possible if you think about it, with body organs and cartilage and bones. I mean I'm no doctor, but it was like one clean chunk.

OH OKAY THIS TRANSLATION MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE

Spoilers for chapters one and two of the Shadow manga!

Okay, to start off, I don't know if the manga is meant to be mainline-canon. However, based on what we've seen of it so far, I'm reading between the lines a bit, and have come up with a theory of sorts.

So, part one is set entirely on the Ark, ending with Maria being shot. Part two is where things start connecting to Generations more, and get a bit interesting:

The way this is framed makes it seem as if Shadow went directly from the Ark to the White Space. Which could just mean that the events on the Ark were some sort of flashback due to the time-traveling stuff. My theory takes a different approach though.

See, based on the way Shadow's been acting, it doesn't seem like he was just having a flashback. He hasn't given any indication of that, and the way he reacts after he arrives in White Space stands out to me. His first thought is that he needs to return to the Ark, and his second is remembering Maria's death.

But the Ark hasn't been his home in a long time, and he's known that Maria's dead for years. Comparing that to his reaction at the end of chapter one of Dark Beginnings:

He immediately clocks that it wasn't real, and he doesn't make any comment about Maria's death.

Theory time. Now, I know this almost certainly isn't what happens, but I want to put it out there before the game drops. What if Shadow from the manga is "Classic" Shadow? Shadow who has never been to the planet, who hasn't even had an hour since Maria died, and who hasn't yet found any reason for his existence beyond saving Maria?

This line from the orb-guy stands out to me as well.

What do they mean by "the second one?" What if the first "red and black" one was also Shadow, but modern Shadow?

It might be a bit of a stretch, but I think it's an interesting idea at least. The concept of past Shadow meeting his present-day counterpart. "Modern" Shadow has already come to terms with Maria's death, and is prioritizing stopping the Black Arms/Time Eater/Mephiles/whoever is trying to destroy the world. "Classic" Shadow only cares about saving Maria; nothing else matters.

Geral Robotnic was EVIL

I've been reading the Shadow manga lately (the first cap because the others are not available yet) AND O. MY. GOD. If Dark beginning was peak this manga whith the first chapter is EVEN more peak.

We were watched the history of Shadow three times (they will be five whith the movie and the game) whith diferent representations. Well, the manga make me saw a thing that the other versions didn't showed.

GERALD WAS TERRIBLE

Bro, imagine creating a whole ass life form that has the inteligent and racionalism of a human only for cure your granddaughter whith aids. I know their intentions was good. BUT BRO???

Shadow literally considered his life a failure because of being unable to cure that child, he was very depressed despite he was very strong and cool.

AND O. MY. GOD. In the manga Shadow dedicates his free time for fight the biolizard for the other scientist for control it. JUST for discover that he NEVER meaned nothing to them, that he was only an "animal lab". Did you know who hard is to process that the people you think they consider you important doesn't care at the end?! Shadow was literally crying!! He REALY went hurt from that realization.

He went atached to Maria on a desesperate move (because well, GUN attacking the ship) because she was the ONLY one that REALY cared about him, she was the only that was realy trying to give him the idea that his life really matter, that him was "valuable". Shadow cared so much about her opinion that he bursted in tears when he heared that she wasn't telling the gun cuarters where was him because he was a valuable friend and not an animal lab. Only for get shot at the end...

I'm impatient to see how are they going to do the second part of the manga because Gooood.

I think getting vaporized was one of the more grotesque things I had to record lol

[kellodrawsalot]

I really hope they are trying to pull a Square enix (im just looking into your memories) because if they retcon Maria's death to be all orchestrated by fucking black doom, that ruin Shadow's freaking arc and it be one of the dumbest retcon the Sonic games did

( and that's saying something. )
