Quick update: apparently the reason why the timeline doesn’t have all the games Shadow appeared in is because they couldn’t fit them all in the image. Honestly though, kinda wish they just reworked the timeline image in that case lol

They didn't put 06 on the timeline because they ran out of space, a sega rep confirmed this on Twitter.

It really ties into Gerald's final journal entry in Sonic Battle. It references Emeral's break out scene here. Ian is really doing his homework

I love how you can from just the one scene already tell Emerl did his copy ability as he perfectly mimicked Shadows kick when they clashed. This is gonna be hype and I'm glad to see Emerl back even if its just in this short.

Year of Shadow is simply...amazing, peak if you must. I await the 3 episode prologue animation, sonic x shadow gens, and at last the movie. I think we can safely say SONIC IS BACK

Why do i feel like emerel is the fourth playable character

One of my favorite details is the fact that Spawn has some influence on shadow

They're literally acknowledging Sonic Battle i literally can't. We're so back GBA bros.

It's still so cool that it brings back Emerl

Not suprised Iizuka said he didn’t think of taking inspiration of Vegeta for Shadow, especially since Shadow is more inspired by Mewtwo n the movie Don’t Destroy My Earth cuz of his backstory. However Spawn tho, that I never knew. I don’t know much about Spawn but so hope folks shade light on what’s similarity does Shadow n Spawn have.

If Emerl return, then does Gamma's Countpart from Battle will return as well? Wouldn't surprise If me we get to play as him from his prospective.

Man i cant belive emeral is back i love thet robot and it seens like thy will dive deper on what hapened on the ark cant wait for this

Sick thumbnail for this video.

After this shadows going back to Aldi

If they ever actually bring Emerl back I will die happy

The anime style was super amazing so excited for this to happen with 3 episodes

9:02 "So I think this was definitely put here to forSHADOW that." Nice pun.

Fitst of all i am vegeta, second of all youre not vegeta type shi when mister Shadow creator said they based him of spwan!! It makes so much sense now! Red and black, with hints of white, and green powers! Thats definitely spawn, and shadow!!

To be fair Boom is shifted down on the image along with X and Prime which suggests they're referencing the popular TV show, not the unpopular games. Despite him only being in like 2 episodes I guess

Izuka's not messing with anyone lol, if he says Shadow wasn't inspired by Vageta then he wasn't inspired by Vageta. Idk why that's so hard to accept especially when it's coming from the literal creator of Shadow. And they didn't show 06 or Forces not because 06 isn't canon or anything but because the timeline was a brief run through of his history. Not a look at every single game he has appeared in. Also Kirk's Shadow has always been great and right up there with Jason and David, he's not just now starting to get good at the role or something.

This is so raw, and I'm all for it 🔥

They can show it on an "official" timeline as much as they want. Sonic X and Boom aren't canon to the mainline games. Too many things contradict them. Also, shouldn't Sonic X Shadow Generations be after Colors rather than after the IDW Comics and Prime? I mean, you could at least split it if you want Shadow Generations to be after those, but Sonic Generations can pretty much only be after Colors.

Wow, Ian flynn cooked…. Im guessing hes doing story right? If not, whoever is, needs to keep cooking like this

I feel like any time shadow sees those red gun goggles he should go full iron man 3 ptsd, would be an interesting angle. They haven't addressed to the best extent just how traumatized he must be.

They need a fighting game, lol. Another sonic advanced battle.

I’m glad you understood that the history appearances timeline wasn’t meant to be a canon timeline or whatever people misunderstood it as. That would be DC levels of messed up canon right there

2:02 I heard on twitter the reason 06 and forces aren’t on the timeline is because of running out of space.

Maria sounds like Sage man!

I played all the GBA games when I was little so I'm loving the return. Of emeral and sonic battle/heroes recognition

I really hope silver in the future gets more of a bigger highlight as well or just an actual silver the hedgehog game

Emerl definetly going to be the 4th playable character

Yo was in your live stream

Sonic battle 🗿🍷

That was soo peak

Interesting they included Battle and not Chronicles

Sonic Boom was on the timeline? Their shoddy timeline brings shame on all hedgehog kind!

I honestly do genuinely believe they wouldn't he afraid to do another Shadow Game HOWEVER 1. I don't think they would call it Shadow the hedgehog 2 and they would call it Shadow the hedgehog (insert subtitle here) 2. There would be no guns However with that said I don't think they would do that and rather they would continue to mnakje more Sonic Games with multiple playable characters including Shadow

WE NEED A SONIC BATTLE REMASTER OMFGGGGG THEN A SONIC BATTLE 2

Sonic really doesn’t take a lot of inspiration from DBZ. Only a bit, which every single franchise does.

Emerald to me will be a boss

Don't get your hopes up Silver fans, Emerl will most likely be the 4th playable character. We gotta wait for the year of DUHMAS to be over, before SEGA starts to give a dam about Silver. 🙄

They also ignored the Rival series on that timeline.

3:24 pal that came from the month of the creator and if you by any chance took speedsupersonic's sonic adventure 3 hoax video WHICH IS NOT FUNNY too seriously to make this thought of yours

shadow was just mind controlled in Boom 3ds and was a just a rival jerk in Boom Rise of lyric nothing really to talk about em there tf .?

Knuckles is more like vegeta than shadow.

The upcoming shorts of Sonic X Shadow Generations looks more hype than the Lazy Sonic Colours Ultimate Shorts that were only 2 lazy & boring episodes.

"Sonic Boom poor reception" Actually the Sonic Boom show was and still is well received. Its a genuinely good show. Its just the games that were bad.

They don’t show 06 or forces because they are still scared of those games

Hmm… I want a spin off for Shadow… But I’ve been disappointed by Sonic Team way too many times for me to be optimistic… Is Ian Flynn capable of writing a good story for Shadow… yes, We’ve seen his work on Archie… Has the Sonic Team mandate add a monkey ranch to a story… also yes, let’s not forget the metal virus issue and Shadow not thinking straight due to how pissed he was towards Sonic (note: Espio was also pissed at Sonic but was able to still put that behind him in order to be able to help more). Again, I know they are capable of making a great story… but I have no idea how much “dark” story they are allowed to work with…🤔 Edit: I would love to be proven wrong with Shadow generations, the animation and the movie…🥲

They just refuse to reference Archie

Wait sonic boom is CANON WHAT!!? THAT MAKES NO SENSE

something you guys keep overlooking is the fact that The guy who was yelling is the same guy who operates the G.U.N mobile from Sa2 does that mean we’re gonna have a him as a boss?

Meh i just want a new standalone shadow game.
