Sonic and Shadow - The Moon and The World

The true owners of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, the superiors at SEGA Japan, have placed intricate messages within their medias that portrays their suffering and their dream of wanting Sonadow. They did this by portraying Sonic as the Moon, the number 5, and the Hierophant (Upside-down), and portraying Shadow as the World, the number 8, and Strength (Upright) in their medias. However, starting in the middle of 2022, the signs have mostly stopped due to conflicting views of others. There are times, though, in current medias, mainly if it has to do with Sonic and/or Shadow, that the superiors are sometimes able to still put some of these symbols.
== Overview ==
When observing a multiple amount of medias from the 'Sonic the Hedgehog' franchise, a fan can notice many hints that indicate Sonic being related to The Moon and Shadow relating to The World. One of the major hints showing this is the Sonic x Shadow July 2021 Calendar Story where Sonic points towards the moon and then towards himself and how near the end, the story says the "Moon" (Sonic) watches over Shadow forever and ever. You can also often see Sonic next to the moon a lot in several medias. Some such medias are Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) at the end of the game, Movie Sonic posing in front of the moon in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 the Movie and Sonic Unleashed where the whole game had the moon important in order to turn Sonic into his Werehog form. Shadow being shown as the World can be seen at the end of Sonic Adventure 2 where an image of him in front of the world is shown when you've beaten the game.
Another way to figure out that Sonic and Shadow represent The Moon and The World is by finding the hidden meaning where they are related to Tarot Cards. [Click here for a site reference for Tarot Cards.] To figure this out about them, you would first need to know what numbers they represent. In the case of Sonic, his number would be 5. For Shadow, it would be 8. [Click here for a site reference for Numerology.] In order to figure these numbers out, you would have to look at a lot of context clues. One such clue would be to notice that Sonic is always around stars where he even has a theme song called, "Reach for the Stars" from Sonic Colors. In many advertisements, the number 5 also is emphasized or chosen specifically. Also, his name is five letters long. To figure out Shadow's number would take a lot more effort than Sonic's. You would first have to figure out Sonic's number and then you would have to read the description of each number to see which ones relates to Shadow the most. You would also have to know that his opposite, Infinite, is also related to figuring out his number. The way Infinite relates to this is by being one of Shadow's opposites/fakes and how the infinity symbol is like an 8 but on its side. Since an 8 can't be flipped to represent another number, it is moved to its side to represent the infinity symbol instead. Though Infinite took this symbol as his own, he is not the true infinity and is only mimicking being the infinity symbol to mimic Shadow. Shadow is the actual infinity because he is immortal, is the true 8 and is the true representation of balance. Infinite's grudge and complex against Shadow, where he wanted to be stronger and better than him after feeling inferior to him in Sonic Forces, also ties into this.
==Numerology==
===Sonic - Number 5===
To go into more detail concerning the numbers involved, we can look at what each number means. For the number 5, we can look at the site provided to see its strengths, weaknesses and personality traits:
Strengths 
*Curious
* Adaptable
*Social
Weaknesses
*Non-committal
*Unreliable
*Directionless
Personality Traits
*Flexible
*Adventurous
*Unpredictable
*Outgoing
*Social
*Restless
* Energetic
* Independent
*Inconsistent
When looking at what the number 5 represents, one can notice how closely it relates to Sonic's personality and traits. Though they closely relate to Sonic, Sonic has been shown to be overcoming his weaknesses ever so slowly in present day medias.
===Shadow - Number 8===
For Shadow's number, we can see that the number 8's strengths, weaknesses and personality traits are:
Strengths
*Ambitious
*Karmic
*Enduring
Weaknesses
*Materialistic
*Authoritative
*Entitled
Personality Traits
*Accomplished
*Balanced
*Dedicated
*Prosperous
*Authoritative
*Strong
*Professional
*Materialistic
*Goal-oriented
By looking at what the number represents, one can notice that it closely relates to Shadow. Though in present day, Shadow has shied away from the weaknesses listed here for SEGA Japan has been showing him more kind and modest than how he was in the past.
==Tarot Cards ==
After figuring out those numbers, you would then need to take those numbers and figure out what Tarot Card is the same as that number. For the number 5, that card would be The Hierophant. For the number 8, that card would be Strength. When you figure out which Tarot Cards are related to Sonic and Shadow, you would then need to know who Sonic and Shadow represent. Figuring this out would mean that we would have to look into real life things. The reason why is because Sonic is actually a representation of the company he represents. Meaning, he represents some of the employees in SEGA Japan. As to who Shadow represents, it would be someone who is always by his side helping him no matter what; someone who is his strength and support.
===Sonic===
====The Hierophant====
Now that you have those clues, we can look into each Tarot Card individually. We can start with the number 5's card, The Hierophant. For this card, the upright of it claims that a person should conform to social norms/social structures that already have a tradition. But from what we know of Sonic, he is not a type to follow what others tell him to do. He's more of someone that does what he wants and goes against what others tell him to do/social norms. So the upright of this card would not relate well with Sonic. Instead, it more tells of what struggles he goes through as others try to force him into following social norms and social traditions. We can further see this by looking at the card's reverse meaning. The reverse states that the person feels constricted or restrained by too many rules. It also states that the person wants to break through the shackles tying them down and that the person wants to do the unorthodox. The person wants to deny the social norms and to go against it instead. When looking at this reading, it matches more with the Sonic we all know. From this card, we can tell two things:
*One, Sonic/the members in SEGA Japan are constantly being told to do what others think is right by following what is seen as "normal." What those normal things can be are like Sonic being traditional and forming a relationship with a female because everyone thinks he should or that it's what is expected of him.
*Two, Sonic doesn't want to listen to what others claim is normal and to instead, carve his own path. Because of this, we can see that Sonic doesn't want to listen to what others tell him to do and wants to instead, do something unorthodox like liking or forming a relationship with Shadow. Which we can see the signs of this being true in many places where Sonic is shown to like spending time with Shadow (Team Sonic Racing), where Sonic is touched to hear that Shadow finds his time with him one of his most memorable memories (Twitter Takeover #5) and where Sonic is sad at the thought of Shadow forming a relationship with someone other than himself (Twitter Takeover #6).
====The Moon====
While we are looking at Sonic's first Tarot Card, we can also look at his second Tarot Card, which was mentioned at the beginning. That card would be The Moon. As it was stated before, to figure out how this card relates to Sonic, you would have to figure out the context clues of Sonic always being near the moon in many of his medias. There's also the obvious hint in the Sonic x Shadow July 2021 Calendar Story. 
When reading about this card, it shows that there are two paths for the person. One is the path of the dog, the other is the path of the wolf. The dog path represents being civilized, while the wolf represents being wild and feral. You can see this being referenced in one of his games, Sonic Unleashed. In Sonic Unleashed, the dog path would be when he is in the sun with his regular form. The wolf path would then be his Werehog form that is with the moon. Two towers are also in shown in the card to represent good and evil. But people tend to have a hard time defining which is the good one or the bad one. In short, this card represents two possibilities for the person. The card goes on to say that the person is uncertain about things, but that is why the moon is trying to guide the person to the correct path. It also states that there may be hidden things in your life that could try to trick you. Though to follow the right path is to follow your intuition. The reverse can also apply here where it states that the person is unhappy and confused. But it also states that the person should find the courage to get through their fears and move forward. 
Again, we would have to relate things to real life to get the meaning behind this card. While remembering who Sonic represents, we can see that the ones Sonic represents were confused and unhappy with their current situation due to many people trying to push rules onto them that they didn't like and didn't want to conform to. If we also take The Hierophant into account, we can see that Sonic doesn't want to follow social norms and instead, wants to be more towards his wolf path, which is being more unorthodox. That would make him more the moon than the sun, especially since Sega Japan through Sonic Team said themselves that Sonic was the moon with the July 2021 Calendar Story. That would mean that Sonic is going to take the unorthodox path and not do what people expect of him. Meaning, he won't form a relationship with someone (a female) who everyone tells him he should. 
===Shadow===
====Strength ====
After looking at those two cards, we can now look at Shadow's cards. We will start with the first Tarot Card, which is Strength. When looking at what the card depicts, it says that the woman who is holding the jaws of the lion calmly shows what control and courage she has, even in the face of danger. It also depicts what grace, love and compassion the lady has as she is keeping the lion, who represents, courage, passion and desire, in check. Overall, it speaks about one's ability to be calm and collective, even in dangerous times. This reading continues on with the upright meaning of this card. Besides what has been already stated, it also states that the person is resilient, patient and compassionate to the point that the person would sacrifice themselves for other people. One other thing that it states is how the person is resilient in doing whatever the person puts their mind to. This relates well to Shadow who is goal-oriented like the number 8 said. In the reverse, it states that the person will become depressed or that they are lacking confidence in themselves. This might have the person become withdrawn from society and perhaps even jealous of other's happiness. But the card signifies that the person should regain their footing in life by regaining that confidence in themselves to re-harness their inner strength. 
The way the reverse relates to Shadow can be seen through Shadow coming to help when he is needed, but also in the way he shies away from society when he is not. You can also related it to him by thinking about how Shadow was going through a crisis in his life when he lost his memories and how he regained his confidence and inner strength by moving on from Maria's death and remembering who he was. We can also relate the upright of this card to Shadow by thinking about how Shadow is confident in himself now and how he is calm and collective during situations given to him in various games/medias. He is also very resilient once he puts his mind to something. Once he decides to do something, he will follow through with it until he has achieved what he originally sought out to do. Shadow can also be seen as very kind where he goes out of his way to help others at the cost of himself like in Sonic Adventure 2 and in the Sonic x Shadow July 2021 Calendar Story. 
====The World====
With the Strength card out of the way, we can now go to look at Shadow's second card, The World. This card generally speaks of balance, evolution in movement, success and harmony. Infinity is also mentioned in this card's depiction. Things are ever moving and changing with this card, but even though things are changing, things are kept in harmony and balance. In its upright reading, it speaks of how the person has become connected with both their inner and outer selves. It also speaks of how the person has gone through a major milestone in their life, and from that, have built up resilience towards challenges thrown the person's way. Lastly, it speaks of how the person wishes to give back to the community and make the world a better place. In the reverse, it speaks of how the person is nearing the end of their journey. Though many things have been accomplished, something feels like it's missing. It then asks the person what could that missing thing be. 
Both the upright and reverse can relate to Shadow in some manner. In the upright we can see that Shadow is a person who is always changing, but we can also see him as someone who is always striving to make the world a better place. He thinks about the world and its people, despite making it seem like he doesn't care for his desire is to bring hope to humanity. In that sense, he keeps the harmony in the world as a protector of sorts. Though he does this in silence mostly, unlike Sonic. The reverse can be seen that Shadow has accomplished a lot, but hasn't found that one thing that makes him feel complete yet. As to what that could be, perhaps it's finding something that isn't easy to obtain, like love. 
After looking at both of these cards, we can look at how this would relate to real life. The way this relates to real life would be that the ones who represent Sonic were looking for someone of these qualities. They wanted someone to help them through their crisis of others trying to force them to do things they didn't want. They couldn't pinpoint the problem and believe that someone with these qualities can; that someone like this can help them through their problems. In other words, Sonic has been searching for his Shadow for a very long time. 
As to whether this person exists or not, we can look at the monthly picture from Yui Karasuno done in September of 2021. In this image, Shadow is looking at the moon, which represents Sonic, with fondness and realization. It is since this image that whoever they believe Shadow is, has appeared for them. 
== Music - Sonic Songs==
Another part to this whole elaborate hidden messages is that songs from the Sonic the Hedgehog series also ties into things. When you look at the songs and their lyrics, if you pay close attention, most songs don't seem to make too much sense compared to the actual game. The reason for this is because most of these songs are actually talking to someone. In other words, most of the songs that are sung are Sonic's voice talking to us, the fans, or to those he knows. An example of this is Sonic Colors, where the ending song is talking to the Shadow they were searching for. They were telling him to (speak from his heart) to see their hidden messages in things like Sonic being The Moon. They wanted him to communicate with them and even knew that whoever figures out their messages, is someone who is very compassionate; is someone with a big and loving heart. They especially wanted Shadow to communicate with them because they were asking for his help in solving their problem. They even say that they're not afraid to ask for help with what they don't understand or are not sure about. You can see this by seeing the song emphasize on wanting the person with a big heart to communicate with the singer. In this song, you can see that Sonic was really hoping for Shadow to .

</tabber>
There are other songs that aren't Sonic singing them such as My Sweet Passion, where it is sung on the character's behalf. But some songs that are made for other characters, like Dreams of An Absolution, are meant to be sung by Sonic, but is given as another character's song. To tell the difference, you would have to listen closely to see whether the song relates to Sonic's problem or if it actually relates to the character it is given to. There are songs where Sonic is singing them, but isn't talking to Shadow. Obvious ones to tell this from would be ones from Sonic Frontiers, where the Titan boss themes are actually Sonic talking to those who have caused him his problems for a long time. Those songs would be: Undefeatable, Break Through it All and Find your Flame. The ending theme Vandalize, is also talking to the people who have made him suffer for many years.

Some of the songs that are towards the Shadow they were looking for can be seen in many of the past games such as: Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors, Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 and Sonic Forces. Some songs in Sonic Frontiers are also towards this Shadow they've found. One such song from Sonic Frontiers would be One Way Dream. Songs sung in the movies can also be counted among these songs that are sung by Sonic. The obvious one you can point out that relates to The Moon is the one sung in the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 the Movie. If you listen to the song Stars in the Sky, you can hear the moon being mentioned in its lyrics.

Say I'm right and sail tonight, I'm home (na-na-na-na-na)
Say right now, I get it, take my hand come zone
Come on, catch a ride
And we take it to places that we only dreamed
I think I'm home
This is my heaven, baby, day and night in my zone
The feeling flows through me, heaven's where we meet (meet)
Happy we lovin', we lovin' our lives
Things I wish to see (see), seem to come to be
I see the truth, I'm honest (hey)
Another adventure unfolds (mm)
I been dreamin' about it (yeah), dreamin' about it
Goin' for it
I'm out, I'm rollin' to the stars in the sky, babe, I'm home
In the city
I'm out, I'm rollin' to the stars in the sky, babe, I'm home
Say I'm right and sail tonight, I'm home (na-na-na-na-na)
Say right now, I get it, take my hand come zone
Come on, catch a ride
And we take it to places that we only dreamed
I think I'm home
This is my heaven, baby, day and night in my zone
We are free of worries
Just to the side, take me home
Free, no worries at all
Take me home
|-|One Way Dream=
 from 
By and sung by 
The skies ahead
Are vast and clear
I hold my breath
Step up a gear
Feel the wind
Smell the air
Chances are
Everywhere
Our sights are set
What we can do
Dreams are big
Eyes are wide
Hear the voice
Deep inside
Obstacles are no excuse
Come with me, there's nothing to lose
Turbulence won't stop us
We'll keep pulling through
Challenges life throws our way
Make us even stronger today
This is how we ignite
Boost your spirit off the ground
I'm a spark that won't go out
We can go much higher now
Gravity can't hold us down
We're only at the beginning of this One Way Dream
Ignite
Dreams
To life
They said we'd break
They said we'd lose
But here we are
What else is new?
Stronger with
Every fall
Faster with
Every mile
You and me we're built on trust
That's why we can always get up
Even if they laugh we'll never
Bite the dust
Heads up high reach for the top
Give it everything that you've got
This is how we ignite
Boost your spirit off the ground
I'm a spark that won't go out
We can go much higher now
Gravity can't hold us down
We're only at the beginning of this One Way Dream
Ignite
Dreams
To life
Boost your spirit off the ground
I'm a spark that won't go out
We can go much higher now
Gravity can't hold us down
We're only at the beginning of this One Way Dream

With this knowledge, you can say that Sonic is quite the songbird. You can also say that his songs are his voice; his freedom to voice his emotions. When you listen to a Sonic song, try to look closely at the lyrics it has. You might find more hidden meanings that you may have not realized until you take a closer look at it. You may also realize the state Sonic was in depending on what time period you're looking at.
While on the topic of music, one song that seems to get misinterpreted a lot is Vandalize from Sonic Frontiers. Many Sonadow fans believe that this is a Sonadow song, but it is not entirely one like some might think. As stated before, this song is directed towards the ones who have been making Sonic suffer for many years. That is especially the case if we only take the censored version that is used in the Sonic Frontiers game. Many other fans like to twist this song to mean something positive for their particular ship, but that is far from the case. As to what this song means, you would need to know how Sonic feels about these people who've have put him down for many years. To get a hint of it, you can listen to the Titan songs in Sonic Frontiers.

Vandalize Lyrics<tabber>
Censored=

Sound the alarm
Shatter me like glass
Covered in scars
But roses are coming through the cracks
Time that you killed
You promised to help me rebuild
It caught me off guard
Sound the alarm
Said you'd keep me safe, now you're tearing me down
Am I laid to waste, now that you're not around?
Come and leave your mark
Vandalize my heart
Fight the pain away, my head is in ruins
Need you in my veins, don't know how you do it
Come and leave your mark
Vandalize my heart
Did we make a work of art just so you could deface it?
Did you let it fall apart just so you could replace it?
Had your name on the side of a burning bridge
Watch it fade when the smoke rolls in
Time that you killed
You promised to help me rebuild
Feels like you planned it
Took us for granted, oh
Said you'd keep me safe, now you're tearing me down
Am I laid to waste, now that you're not around?
Come and leave your mark
Vandalize my heart
Fight the pain away, my head is in ruins
Need you in my veins, don't know how you do it
Come and leave your mark (come and leave your mark)
Vandalize my heart
Oh, you're freaking crazy
Hate me, love you, breaking bottles on the pavement
Just to watch it crash
Said you'd keep me safe, now you're tearing me down
Am I laid to waste, now that you're not around?
Come and leave your mark
Vandalize my heart
Fight the pain away, my head is in ruins
Need you in my veins, don't know how you do it
Come and leave your mark (come and leave your mark)
Vandalize my heart
Said you'd keep me safe, now you're tearing me down
Am I laid to waste, now that you're not around?
Come and leave your mark (come and leave your mark)
Vandalize my heart

Other songs that can be analyzed are ones like Dear My Friend where it mentions aspects of the bridge of stars from the Tanabata story in Japan. Sonic Forces can also be analyzed because that game was looking for someone in the fans to be their Shadow. You can get that idea from there being a Shadow suit available for purchase that makes the Avatar look almost identical to Shadow. No other character has a suit to make the Avatar look almost identical to another established character. One other game that is more of a spin-off game that you can look at is Team Sonic Racing. In that game, Sonic and Shadow are very prominent and they even spend most of their time together in that game.

By and sung by 
Good times and bad times
I can count on being with you
I thank you for staying so true
My life will go on a long time
Have to catch up when I see you
And You are my reason I can make it through
I will give my word that I will come in time to rescue
My heart will always be with you
I'm so glad I met you being with me wherever
We're made for each other forever
I know life can be tough on you time and time again
Laughter maybe gone 'way
I will wipe away my tears to-morrow
Life must go on, that's the reason that you travel away
I will be there if you need me
And I know you'll do the same
I can see you, I can hear you in my heart
You will be here if I need you
I will never have to guess
'Cause we are very special friends
Oh-ah
So send me a letter
Let me know how you're doing
You are my lifetime and true friend
We'll never be forgotten
Having trust is all we may need
You are always with me in the life I lead
So far, far away from life I used to know
Worries are too far, too
I will stop and close my eyes remember
And at the rainbow I can take you
I will catch it for you
Memories you can recall
With me any time of day
You can reach out
You can ask me in your soul
I will answer when you call me
I will come no matter how
Cause we are very special friends
Oh
I will be there if you need me
And I know you'll do the same
I can see you, I can hear you in my heart
You will be here if I need you
I will never have to guess
'Cause we are very special friends
Memories you can recall
With me any time of day
You can reach out
You can ask me in your soul
I will answer when you call me
I will come no matter how
Cause we are very special friends
Oh-ah
Oh-ah

By 
I can't do this alone
Even though I am strong
Need something more than me
Someone to push me to victory
Let's see what we can do
Together me and you
Can't be afraid to try
Kiss your fears goodbye
No looking back
You and I we're on the attack
Full speed ahead
Run into the sunset
Such a different feeling
The both of us believing
We can make it better
Together we can show the world what we can do
You are next to me, and I'm next to you
Pushing on through until the battles won
No ones gonna get nothing to us
Into each other we put our trust
Standing united, after the fight
All alone we will never be
The two of us, are holding the key
We see today, what we couldn't see
Before I say goodbye to you one more last fist bump
♪
I know you have been afraid before
But you don't have to be anymore
No more emptiness to feel inside
When we run together no one can break up our strides
No looking back
You and I we're on the attack
Full speed ahead
Run into the sunset
Such a different feeling
The both of us believing
We can make it better
Together we can show the world what we can do
You are next to me, and I'm next to you
Pushing on through until the battle's won
No ones gonna get nothing to us
Into each other we put our trust
Standing united, after the fight is done
♪
We can show the world what we can do
You are next to me and I'm next to you
Pushing on through until the battles won
No ones get nothing to us
Into each other we put our trust
Standing united after the fight
It's a brand new day
We have turned the page
Never knew how much I needed
Somebody to help me this way
All alone we will never be
The two of us, are holding the key
We see today, what we couldn't see
Before I say goodbye to you one more last fist bump

I can feel it now
Together movin' on
We've got the strength we need
And we're feeling strong
We'll keep a heavy hand
We hold a leaded foot
Our eyes on the prize
As we're passing you
And there's no better feeling
Than to be here with you, with you!
(Look out!) (Blast off!)
We're one together
On this green light ride! (Blast off!)
Drive through forever
On this green light ride!
Got the power we need
We're the fire you feed
It's in our heart and soul
We stand for something
To the end we go
We know you had enough
Our inner strength will prove
You're not so tough
And there's no chance we're losing
When I'm right here with you!
(Look out!) (Blast off!)
We're one together
On this green light ride! (Blast off!)
Drive through forever
On this green light ride!
Keep a heavy hand!
(Whoa-oh-ah-oh) keep movin' on!
Green light ride!
You need a little more
A little push and fight
Can you feel our fuel as
We ignite?
I can feel it now
Together movin' on
We've got the strength we need
And we're feeling strong!
There's no better feeling
Than to be here with you!
(Look out!) (Blast off!)
We're one together
On this green light ride! (Blast off!)
Drive through forever
On this green light ride!
We're one together
On this green light ride!

==Other Important Factor to Take into Consideration==
One other character is also very important to this whole truth and that character would be Amy Rose. She is the Sun (Upside down), the Empress, and the number 3. (If you would like a detailed analysis of this section, read that section here.)
If we were to analyze some past games, some of the enemies/antagonists are related to the sun, such as Solaris in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and Infinite, in Sonic Forces, creating a sun to destroy everyone. One can come to their own conclusions as to what this symbolizes.
== Conclusion ==
There is many things that can be realized after analyzing, but it's up to the viewer on whether they want to go through the effort to find all the hidden messages. Though it is encouraged that the fans help those who want Sonic and Shadow together by speaking up more vocally in a reasonable manner so that they receive the support and help they've been asking for for years.
