  1. Honestly the Gizoid going out of control and GUN overreacting is a much cleaner way to tell the story than juggling all the Biolizard and Black Arms stuff. After 20 years of stapling more details on Shadow's backstory maybe it needs a good spring cleaning.

  2. My guess is its going to amount to nothing because its just in an animated short that won't be referenced in the game itself. I hope I'm wrong but that's usually how this goes.

    That being said, Emerl was tied to Professor Gerald all the way back in Sonic Battle. So if they truly care about developing the lore its a good callback. I just hope the final game actually sticks to it.

  3. Do you think maybe all of the shadow androids are gizoids like emerl and the black one from advance 3 all created by Gerald and that the Gizoids were the weapon that the military went to the Ark to destroy

  4. Sonic Battle and Emerl are my childhood. To this day it's still my favorite Sonic story and I'll always love the game and come back to it whenever I get the chance to or just to relive the good old memories.

  5. Considering that weird glitch scene that happened when Maria grab Shadow's hand it is possible that either 1)Black doom is messing with shadow's memories, 2) the time eater is doing it or 3) a mixture of both. Not to mention we don't know the full context of this preview to the PROLOGUE episodes I wouldn't write this off a a recton just yet.

  6. The Shadow Generations clip definitely takes place right before Journal 6.

    Shadow was awake. But Project Shadow was not complete. Literally Shadow’s line at the beginning of the clip suggests as such.

    It is likely Shadow goes through numerous tests and experiments.

    Journal 7 says that “Bring hope to humanity” was Maria’s parting words. This means Shadow had already been sent off by her. In SA2 he says he went insane when finding out Maria died.

    So my theory is that he initially hid, and thought there really was an accident on the ARK, and was sad she had died, maybe even thinking that it was the robot that did it. Reprogramming him with a soul.

    But shortly after discovered that it was no accident and found a list of those executed by soldiers and saw her name. Realizing she was a victim of a correct authority. And this made him snap. After all he did for the world…

  7. I love how sega always tries to have a comeback by adding new things to the characters backstory just like they did with the ancient civilization in sonic fronteirs

  8. The quality of this video is incredible! From the amazing edits to the well written script that’s understandable to anyone. This one belongs to one of your best videos yet (along with the Angel Island one and a couple of others)

    Peak.

  9. I still don't think there is going to be a fourth playable character and the unknown character on the website is just a form Shadow takes after getting all the Black Arms powers.
    But since Sega actually acknowledged Emerl again, it's possible he'll be a boss at least. Maybe he's a rival battle? If it's called Shadow Generations, there should be at least one of those.

  10. 5:45 – Apparently some of the people in Sega did mention that there were going to be some kind of retcons of some sort (they didn't specify or flat-out say the word 'retcon', but they very heavily implied it).
