Shadow not only received his first win in Death Battle, but he also ended the Sonic lost streak as well.

Vegeta: Sayonara! (Vaporize Shadow) Mewtwo: Sayonara! (Impale Shadow with a Spoon) Ryuko: Sayonara, Dipsh*t!! (Try to cut Shadow in Half) Shadow( Pulls out Uno Reverse Card): No!! Not this time!! Ryuko (Surprised Pikachu Face): Nani?!

Finally Shadow has won a Death Battle, but at the cost of killing his favorite anime character.

Shadow: I'm the coolest. Damn right! Some say it's a pity win but I say it's well earned.

I can just imagine Shadow on the couch with some chips watching some Kill La Kill.

To answer the question about Shadow’s VA: No, that’s not Taka. They wanted to go the more modern route this time, so Brenden Blaber, AKA JelloApocalypse, who previously voiced Jon Talbain, is the voice this time.

The Sonic series's greatest comeback Of All Time. Really happy Shadow pulled through and snagged himself a win.

I had the voice actor of Caulifla and Ryuko wrong, they sounds somewhat similar and the fact someone lied to me. Thank you Marvel Fantasy for the correction

* *Shadow takes out gun* * Frost: No >:[ Shadow: Ugh, fine * *throws gun away* * lol

I am also glad shadow got his weapons for the fight since the previous 2 fights ignored that key element to the character

I’ve waited 10 years for them to show Shadow at his best and I’m not disappointed, that was freaking awesome. I agree with you Frost, Shadow is honestly one of my favourite fictional characters ever. I wish they’d give us a game focusing more on shadows chaos powers over copying sonics gameplay tbh. Also, Shadow the Hedgehog is a guilty pleasure game to me. Yes it’s ridiculous and the story is just SA2 but worse, but I did enjoy it despite its (numerous) flaws.

Well, At least the Sonic lost streak is now stopped... for now. XD

you know what they say third time’s a charm

Finally, Shadow has won for once. :) Glad that you're satisfied as well. :)

Finally a win for shadow

30:15 Ryuko... you’re not one to talk.

I cried of happiness when shadow won I was SUPER nervous (pun intended)😂

Third time’s the charm.

Once I saw a shadow won that one, I blared out my headset by playing all hail Shadow at maximum volume

Sonic Forces definitely did a better job of making Shadow less like an edge lord that hates everyone and more like a hero due to him saving Sonic and helping defeat Infinite

29:40 Actually, it seems like JelloApocalypse is Shadow's voice this time.

If Shadow had his own Spin-off TV series, I feel it should take influence from Batman Beyond, with Shadow's personality and character being similar to Terry McGinnis.

They had Comic Book Guy's wife as Ryuko's voice in this episode. Also, I gotta hand it to Ryuko's OG English voice actress Erica Mendez; Ryuko may have been her first breakthrough role that was soon followed by her roles as Rainbow Dash and Pac-Man, she went to voicing VERY unexpected roles that sound nothing alike with Ryuko, Pac-Man or Rainbow Dash. Those being Orie Valadier, Raphtalia, Megumin, Atsuko Kagari, Gon Freecss, Melissa Shield, Annie and Diane.

Heya dude, great video, that's a win for Shadow!

Yeah buddy character inconsistency is a true issue to most franchises including Sonic like you said and Especially shadow... Get it right 1 time and get it wrong another, I feel those companies need to stop that bad habit whenever it happens

To answer your question about why Shadow would work with the people who ruined his life, during the true ending of Shadow the Hedgehog, after seeing that Gerald was trying to save the planet from the Black Arms, the President and Commander of G.U.N. decided to work towards a brighter future in honor of the doctor, and the Commander wished to make amends with Shadow. Honestly, I think it's kind of admirable that Shadow decided to join, kind of like he forgave and forgot. (no pun intended)

Went on a bit of a tangent there, buddy. I get it though. Heh. I wouldn’t be happy if a character I liked was done dirty either.

I'm glad they actually gave sonic characters a win after the asspull that was mario vs sonic 2 and shadow vs mewtwo but they still downplayed him by not acknowledging solorus who was a multi universal threat. Shadow didn't even need to go super

Frost: YESSS!! HAH HAH HAH HAH HAAAH! I LOVE THAT! David Humphrey is the best! Me: HA! I love it! Not only is that a satisfying reference to my personal favorite Sonic game, but even you recognize it! Sweet!

Frost the White Lion, I don't honestly know what's going on with Shadow in IDW, but the Shadow I know in the games is an edgy antihero who does what he wants, but underneath that tough persona, he's got a good heart and cares for others and does help people when they need his help.

To be fair to the Edgy the Hedgy video game, there were moments in that game that captured Shadow's personality really well, especially considering his amnesia from Heroes. The game took it self comically seriously, but Shadow was pretty spot on, save for a few moments where he acts extremely self-centred. Like, him being confronted by the G.U.N Commander aboard the ARK. That scene is really touching. Shadow is fully willing to submit himself to punishment if what The Commander said turned out to be true, he just wants to regain his memories before that. The CoMpUtEr rOoM ending is also really sad, Vector's voice acting notwithstanding. He comes to the conclusion that everything that happened to the ARK personnel, Maria and the current invasion was his fault, and he feels genuine regret for being born.

This was a long one, might be because of what I had to say about Shadow.

7:03 I was surprised when I see shadow's likes in the sonic wiki, and finding out that he likes nothing, I also find shadow misunderstood too. And I kinda accept shadow the hedgehog being on the good guys side, I think he earned his redemption. and I did not know shadow uses guns i thought this was a kids game.

Good one

I just had to subscribe to you right now

I think the reason they used Sonic X is because it's a series that can be tied to the games. A few of the events in Sonic X also happened in Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. So it makes sense to use the show since they're closely tied.

Ryuko also has the same Japanese VA as Yang Xiao Long, Kallen and Anemone

so, was shadow portrayed accurately in this episode? or has death battle turned shadow into his edgier counterpart from shadow the hedgehog (when you ignore his character development in this game) and sonic boom?

I’m glad that Shadow won his battle, and I agree with the rant you went with about Shadow, but I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t need a gun since he’s got chaos energy within himself and practically can do better with a sword if necessary

Shoot. That rant on Shadow was longer than the DEATH BATTLE! itself. 😆 Here's how I see it: Gerald made this for his granddaughter, right? Girls usually find lizards gross. Hedgehogs are cute. That's why he changed it. 😁 I honestly think the outfit wouldn't be so... revealing... if Ryuko didn't slice up Senketsu a bit with the scissors blade when they first met. 😆 I will admit, I thought Ryuko was gonna win through power alone, but I forgot that Shadow's speed was more than enough to damage her faster than she can heal. I am glad Shadow got the win, though a little bittersweet for me as I also enjoyed the Kill La Kill series.

I know the Sonic series has had its ups and downs but I can’t help but love them anyway. No matter how SEGA changes their characters, I still see the same awesome characters that I’ve grown to love like Knuckles and Shadow. Anyways awesome reaction, I loved this Death Battle!

I agree with shadows shoes but I also think they also help with manuverability when shadow moves fast

Interesting reaction. Just out of curiosity, why did Shadow use his super form when he did?

In my opinion, this episode is a hundred times better than Shadow vs Mewtwo, however...it suffers the same problem as Mario vs Sonic 2018, basically ignoring crucial information from games such as Sonic Generations and Sonic forces, like Sonic getting more powerful every second, or that in Generations Shadow's character Bio states that Shadow's as fast as Sonic, another problem I had was Ryuko's personality in the fight, Ryuko acts pretty much like how she started in the series, even though she has all powers and skills at the end of the series, so her acting all aggressive towards Sengetsu is just odd, Shadow's personality in the fight is fine, but I rather the Shadow's personality from Shadow vs Vegeta, better than how he acted Shadow vs Mewtwo, been an total edge lord, also I feel this fight should had been slightly faster, like Shadow vs Vegeta when it comes of how fast the characters moves. For what it is, its fine, but I watch this episode everyday over Shadow vs Mewtwo.

huh. why didn't they use his Lancelot sword from Black Knight? was the purple one just easier to animate?

I’m glad Shadow won, I was rooting for him mainly because he’s one of my favorite Sonic characters. I played Sonic Adventure 2 and watched Super Mario Bros Z and Nazo Unleashed where I was introduced to the character. Also yes, I agree, he is a very misunderstood character and the fact that SEGA and fans judge him based on his look and based off his character on 2005 game and some aspects of his Boom counterpart, just proves they forgotten what makes Shadow great as a character (Gonna to be honest, we fans are just as guilty as SEGA for ruining the characters). Thankfully (if this is true) the people who wrote the characters during the 2010s have likely been fired and hopefully find writers that KNOW the characters (I’ll edit this to let you know if the firing of writers are true).

It took 8 seasons, but Shadow FINALLY scores a Death Battle victory. And regarding Luthor VS Doom Death Battle, I'm gonna have to solidly go with Doom cause he's dealt with FAR deadlier threats than Luthor. Doom's even beaten Galactus. Y'know, the guy who LITERALLY eats planets for BREAKFAST?

So happy for shadow

Erica Mendez is the english voice of Ryuko, Caulfila was voiced by Elizabeth Maxwell.

I'm just gonna say that I like and agree with Mewtwo VS Shadow, and Shadow is my favorite Sonic character. It just that Shadow has no counter to Mewtwo's haxes. Not to mention since Mewtwo got a buff in Sword and Shield that makes him Multi Solar System and over a thousand times faster then light making him now faster and stronger then Shadow.

Depends on the Shadow. If its the Post-2010 shadow then people can call him whatever. However if its the Pre-2010 Shadow like from Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, and Sonic The Hedgehog(2006) then he is a hero. Also This is something that happened to All Sonic characters not just shadow. After 2010 All the sonic characters got worse. It was revealed that the writes for Sonic colors and Onward knew nothing about sonic except from a few Wikipedia pages. The PJshow did excellent Analysis on them. Recently Silver

Also sonic 06 actually is canon as generations references it multiple times from chaos city to blaze remembering the event's. Yeah it was erased sorta but it doesn't erase it from the timeline

Lex Luthor vs Doctor Doom. i'm gonna go with Doctor Doom because, like with the Iron Man fight, most of Lex's attacks and moves are specifically made to take down Superman, and last i checked, Doom isn't Kryptonian. unless there's something in the comics i'm not familiar with since i don't read them, or if they use the Anti-Life Equation he had for a few seconds in Unlimited, then i'll be amazed he wins.

Hey Frost! Who will win? Shadow the hedgehog or reaper from overwatch?

1:58 Infinite might be close enough to usurping him on that though...😅 4:55 Um...Yuji Naka?... 5:33 Vic who voiced Edward Elric? 7:18 That sort of changed at the end of Sonic Adventure 2 8:13 Well...that flies in the face of HEROES!!!😒 11:21 Rush came BEFORE 06 so that should be a CLEAR thing of proof! Also how much has the Chaotix been in?🤔 13:13 And Mario gets a big ridiculous at times 16:11 Wait seriously?! 21:45 Anyone want to argue about who is WORSE?!😕...28:31 HAAAHAHAAHAHAH THAT WAS WELL TIMED 🤣! Also I can kind of hear the voice as well 30:30 Or you can say he is LETTING IT RIP!!!🤣 32:01 Well you and him have Fur on so I guess it does not really matter, unless you do that one thing Brian did in Family Guy...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed Sonic '06 did justice to Shadow's character

How did it feel to finally having a sonic character win? (Also wow I never would have thought you would get this heated at sega rightfully so but I never expected that with your “sonic motif”)

9:21 Would you be upset with me if i told you that i really want to play the Shadow the Hedgehog game? I'm just asking.

Takahata didnt do the voice for shadow this time around

12:38 to skip ranting and back to reaction

30:09 Did you say the same thing to a cutscene from lego dimensions where knuckles grab shadow's gun and throws it away? 😅😅😅

Why does Shadow need a gun? Because it's a badass weapon for a badass character! But the sword is definitely WAAAYYYY more badass of a weapon for Shadow! Maybe I'm just biased towards swords, but eh. Also, before I forget, Shadow finally gets a win! Hell yeah!

Now we gotta wait for the battle doom is going to win. Again.

Here are some fights I made up. Shadow the hedgehog vs tyrian callows. Shadow the hedgehog vs the meta. Shadow the hedgehog vs (overwatch) reaper. Goku vs ragyo kiryuin. Who will win in a fight?

Frost: Complaining about how some things don’t make since for shadow. Me: Their only explaining stuff that is supported by SEGA. Including Sonic X as SEGA was involved in its development.

The only reason why shadow has guns because THE CHAOS POWERS ARE REALLY POWERFUL AND SHADOW NEEDS GUNS FOR WARMING UP HE DOES SHARE THE SAME POWERS WITH SONIC AND HE DOES HAVE SOME MARTIAL ARTS MOVE AND TELEPORTATION + HE LOOKS SO BADASS WITH GUNS ON HIS HANDS

In 4:57 of the video, you mentioned the voice actor Sean Schimmel. I did not know how bad of a person he was.

You know, Shadow with a sword is pretty cool than him with a gun.

Next time is lex Luthor vs dr doom, thoughts?

I knew it

I know people are gonna be salty since the next fight is a stomp in Doom's favor, but I still want to see it happen.

It's kind of weird, the first time I introduced to shadow is in shadow the hedgehog.

My prediction of next Death Battle is that... Well, Luthor and Doom will continue their personal streaks. Luthor could not beat Iron Man, but Doom gives Avengers constantly hard time.

Why is ghoey don't know how to say it but he is in one of the parts when you fast forward a bit weird

ALL HAIL SHADOW!!! HEROES RISE AGAIN!!!!!

What do you like about Shadow's own game?

It's so annoying how now a days some of the Sonic characters get treated so poorly to the point where they're no longer their likable selfs? Well Shadow is one of them, as is one of the reasons he's not in my Top 10 Sonic characters, the developers creators and even some of the fans misunderstood what made Shadow such a cool and likable character. I tend to see Shadow's character as not Vegeta (because I'm not entirely familiar with DBZ, and the annoying comparison in the past decade because of Sega's poor writing decisions), but rather Riku from Kingdom Hearts. Mainly because they both started off as villains in the first game and be reformed in the end to begin their redemption arc of doing good and what's right.

Why use a gun when you can move faster than bullets?

I don't think the black doom dna is a bad idea, I just wished that they execute it better

Why would Shadow ride a motorcycle? He wasn't in a hurry.

Shadow:I won, but at what cost? ;-; Good one, Frost^^

It actually says over 50 (that’s what the > stands for) but yeah he’s more of an ageless being.

Who will win? Ryuko matoi or Raven branwen?

So shadow fights a discount scissor man (clock tower)

30:10 “NOOOOO!!”

*Pretty sure a lethal Laterivian dictator/iconic Marvel supervillain like Victor von Damm aka Dr.Doom is definitely gonna win against a big bad bald billionaire /DC supervillain like Lex Luther born in The Suicide Slum ,aka : "Metropolis 's Piece of Gotham City" ,**#FrosttheWhiteLion**!* XD ;D

So in a way Shadow is basically a Tragic Antihero so to speak

You know, there are characters who are godly powerful that use guns, like Dante or Ren Amamiya (Joker).

Super shadow without the inhibitors, doesn’t that make him the 8th chaos emerald?

Dude 13:00 you just explained my same problem with MattPatt, you can't explain games and cartoons scientifically.

All anime shows have the worst mothers in the entire world dunno what’s the reason for that but at least izuku midoriya’s mother is nice

expect a remake of Cloud v Link on the horizon.

*Well,**#FrosttheWhiteLion**, looks you owe one hard-core Hedgehog hero/rogue an apology for (almost) doubting his win against Ryuko!* XD. ;D

10:54 i still think he is. Also 7:03 I was surprised when I saw what you said in the sonic wiki, they say Shadow hates humanity and they added the terminator franchise in his likes and It made me ask "the terminator franchise exist in the sonic universe?" But at least the shadow the hedgehog game has a pure hero ending. That got shadows character right. So..... sadow the hedgehog vs (overwatch) reaper. Goku vs ragyo kiryuin. Ryuko matoi vs Raven branwen. Shadow the hedgehog vs noob salibot. Who will win?

Actually they used z Vegeta in the dear battle who wasn’t universal and super shadow was universal as he beat Solaris.

I understand that you hate Black Doom as a villain as well as the Black Arms aliens, I respect your Opinion. For me personally Black Doom does have potential to be a good character. The problem was his character development, it's so messy in Shadow The Hedgehog thanks to the horrendous morality system. The Story and his character development is dependent on what actions you take ie beating the Neutral missions to take the Neutral path, beating the Hero missions to take the Hero route or finally, beating the Dark missions to take the Dark route in Shadow The Hedgehog. That's why his character development is a mess. Don't get me wrong I still have a guilty pleasure and soft spot for the Shadow The Hedgehog video game, but even I'll admit the story is a complete mess thanks to the morality system. And all that doesn't matter anyways because there's a Last Story which explains the true cannon plot and ending to you via exposition. Oh and to unlock the last story you have to complete all 10 "Non" canon endings which means you have to go through each playthrough starting from Westopolis 10 times to unlock 10 of the possibiIe "Non" cannon endings. I say non with a capital letter and quotation mark because again those endings don't matter because the last story explains the true cannon ending to you.

So, sega was wrong, and tails and Sonic pals got it wrong about shadow that his speed is from his shoes, but no chaos powers is what makes him go fast

Can you really blame RoosterTeeth calling Shadow a "edgelord" *with the way SEGA "writes" him?*

*Before Watching Video:* (gets salt shakers ready for the ungodly amount of salt I’m expecting from this) *After Watching Video:* You did not disappoint XD In all seriousness; you can’t blame Rooster Teeth or Death Battle for misunderstanding Shadow’s backstory, they’re just gathering relevant information on Shadow based on how he’s been treated by SEGA over the years in basically every form of media; so it’s kinda unfair to blame Death Battle for this backstory of him being “edgy” or an “anti-hero” or whatever. They didn’t make Shadow into what he is now, SEGA did.

I’m glad Shadow won for once. This didn’t feel like a disrespect to the character. Still better then his fight with Mewtwo.
