=== Overview ===
Sonic Prime is an animated series that is Netflix exclusive. It was released on December 15, 2022 with its first 8 episodes for season one. It has 23 episodes in all with 3 seasons separating them. Characters shown in this animation are: Sonic, Shadow, Eggman, Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, Amy Rose, Big and Froggy. Some characters have parallel version of themselves that came to existence after Sonic broke the Paradox Prism when trying to stop Eggman from stealing it. The characters that have parallel versions are: Eggman, Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, Amy Rose, Big and Froggy. These parallel versions that were created through the universe shattering into different parallel worlds also have their own names different from their original names. They also look different than their original forms from before the universe shattered. There also exist robot versions of the characters: Sonic, Knuckles, Rouge, Big, Froggy, Amy and the Flicky that is around Amy called Birdie. These robots are called Chaos or Alpha Grim versions of the characters. Ex. Sonic's robot would be called "Chaos Sonic," "Alpha Grim Sonic" or "Grim Sonic."

It has been stated by Sonic Prime's director that the series is "canon," but as to what he truly means by that is up to debate. He says that it is canon to the video game universe, but many fans disagree with this statement due to many things in the series not being the same as the canon history from the video games. Ian Flynn also states that the series takes place sometime after Sonic Advance 3 (despite the inconsistencies and how things don't align), but whether we can really take that as true is up to debate as well due to the inconsistencies. Some things that differ from the video game series are like where Sonic met Knuckles, how Sonic called the Tornado Tails' plane when it truly belongs to Sonic and how Rouge is somehow there as one of Sonic's close friends when she rarely spends time with him in the video game canon. It is also pointed out by many that Prime Sonic's character is not the same as his video game canon self due to Prime Sonic being more dumb than Modern video game Sonic. But what could be taken from them calling it canon is that this universe is apparently based off of the Sonic seen in video games. Does that make him canon to the video games? The answer would be no. Just like the IDW comics being based off of Sonic Forces, Sonic Prime is based off of how the writers interpret video game Sonic. They then take that interpretation and make a story of their own.
Some characters also go through a wardrobe change in this series. Those two characters that wear different outfits are Rouge and Amy Rose. Rouge's outfit is completely different from her original outfit where the design is completely different and it covers up her body more. Amy's outfit is similar, but it now covers up parts where her original dress showed her skin/fur, such as her back and arms.

Though they are his friends from the original universe, many of his friend's parallel versions treat Sonic as an adversary or enemy due to not knowing who he is or where he came from or due to being someone they see as an enemy. Some become friends with him after spending time with Sonic, but some stayed as enemies and even worked with Eggman's parallel versions to stop Sonic from getting the Paradox Prism shards. One such character is Amy Rose's parallel self, Rusty Rose, who works for the Chaos Council and is their robot created by them. Though due to being abandoned by the Chaos Council, she decides to help Dread Knuckles' crew later. Amy Rose's other parallel self, Thorn Rose, was also an enemy of Sonic until she calmed down and mended things with her friends Prim, Gnarly, Mangey and Hangry. Tails' parallel version, Nine, helped the Chaos Council when he was held captive by them and later stole the shards from Sonic and Shadow to create his perfect paradise in the Grim Shatterspace.

On January 5, 2024, Netflix uploaded the first episode for Sonic Prime's third season on their YouTube channel, Netflix After School. In the episode, Shadow helps Sonic escape Ghost Green Hills before it explodes out of existence. Once out, both head to The Grim where they confront Nine and his robot "friends." Sonic tries reasoning with Nine, but fails as Shadow expected. Once realizing that Nine wants to take Sonic's Prism energy away from him, Shadow helps Sonic escape alone and tries to take on all Nine's robots once Sonic has escaped. Shadow ultimately gets too beaten up and falls into a crack in the earth in The Grim.
On Erik Wiese's Instagram account, a writer and director for Sonic Prime, he put a side-by-side comparison with the storyboards and the finalized animation for Sonic Prime. The scene shown was when Sonic and Shadow entered the Void during their fight to when Sonic saves Shadow after getting repelled by the Boscage Maze gateway. In the storyboards, it shows that originally when Sonic was saving Shadow that Shadow was supposed to open his eyes while Sonic carries him.
The cast who voices for the Sonic video games in Japanese, dubbed the Sonic Prime animation in Japanese. This includes actors such as Jun-ichi Kanemaru and Koji Yusa (Shadow's voice actor for Japanese).
According to Ian Flynn, the Lore Team never worked on Sonic Prime due to the Lore Team not existing when Sonic Prime was in production. However, Ian Flynn, and possibly other members who are now part of the Lore Team, could have worked on the animation like how Ian Flynn was consulted for Sonic Prime's first season. Though, starting season 2, the Lore Team and Ian Flynn had less say in the animation. Instead, their suggestions or how they advised for it to go were corrected by the company, SEGA Japan, themselves according to Ian Flynn. This could be a possible reason as to why some clear changes could be seen like Shadow being more prominent, Shadow having a more important role, more Sonadow scenes implemented, and as to why Sonic confesses to Shadow in season 2.
===Summary===
During his peaceful life in Green Hills, Sonic and his friends try to stop one of Eggman's usual world conquering plans. After learning about the Paradox Prism, Eggman decides to use Sonic to try to obtain the crystal for himself. Learning this, Sonic and his friends try to stop him from stealing the crystal, but while trying to stop him, Sonic breaks the Paradox Prism, which leads to his world being shattered into five different parallel worlds: A world taken over by Eggman's parallel selves called New Yoke City, a world made of overgrown trees that suffocate the lands called Boscage Maze, a world flooded by water with barely any land called No Place, a world of nothing but hexagon like structures called The Grim and an incomplete world that resembles a ghost of Green Hills called Ghost Hills. Each world had its own version of Green Hills and his friends that are different from the ones Sonic remembered. They also hold their own different colored prism shard.
In these worlds, Sonic and Shadow never existed because they were unaffected by the Paradox Prism when it shattered and created each parallel world. Though, shattering the prism did affect Sonic in some way that was different from his friends, which is by giving him the same power as a shard of the Paradox Prism has. In each parallel world, Sonic must find each shard of the broken Paradox Prism and find a way to piece them back together to get the universe back together. Along the way, Shadow confronts Sonic to reason with him and to remind him of how he broke the universe that he now has to fix. Sonic also meets up with several versions of his friends and Eggman and tries to work together with the majority of the parallel versions of his friends and Shadow to find a way to turn the universe back to what it used to be.
Sonic at first seeks out Nine's, a version of Tails from the New Yoke shatterspace, help to connect the Prism shards back together. Though helping at first, Nine's only intention was to use the shards for himself to create his own perfect paradise. This makes him become even an enemy to Sonic out of wanting to even take Sonic's Prism energy to complete the Paradox Prism fully. In his craze to protect his new home and create it with all the power of the Prism Paradox, many of the worlds suffered near annihilation along with those who inhabited them. Seeing the dangers, Shadow, all versions of Sonic's friends, and even the different Eggman versions, came together to fight against Nine to save their homes. In retaliation to the opposition, Nine created many robot versions of Sonic's friends to fight against them.
After constant convincing from Sonic, Nine finally realizes that what he has done was deplorable and irreversible without a great sacrifice. Noticing what type of sacrifice is needed, Sonic comes to the stage to give up his energy so that the worlds could be stabilized and everyone be saved. From giving his energy, Sonic became near death from the Prism energy not being there to allow him to exist in the universe. Though with some calculations from Nine, a gateway of Green Hills appears as the Paradox Prism disappears. Not having the energy to reach the gateway himself, it is up to Shadow to bring Sonic back. Once reaching the gateway from nearly not making it in time for Sonic, Sonic and Shadow appear back in their world seconds before Sonic broke the Paradox Prism in the beginning of the animation. Instead of shattering the Paradox Prism again, Sonic takes things in a different approach and with Shadow's help, keeps the Paradox Prism away from Eggman to use. Life then goes back to how it used to until their next adventure.
===Moments===
Season 1When Sonic is introducing his planet and characters he interacts with, Sonic talks about Shadow and says that his relationship with him is complicated.
During the fight with Eggman when Sonic and his friends were trying to stop Eggman from stealing the Paradox Prism, Amy asks Sonic where he's been. He says that he got a little sidetracked. Who he got sidetracked with was Shadow, who he ended up fighting due to not wanting to stop to talk with him.
When Sonic created a shockwave after smashing a robot thought to have Eggman in it but actually had a speed amplifier in it into the ground, the shockwave passed by Shadow and showed him an image of Sonic in the future where he was running in an enclosed sphere at super sonic speeds. While seeing that vision, Shadow reached out towards Sonic trying to touch him. After the vision ended, Shadow narrows his eyes and calls out Sonic's name.
While being tested on in New Yoke City, Sonic goes at super sonic speed in a hamster-like ball. When he reached a specific speed, Sonic was able to see a blurry vision of Shadow who is stuck in the Shatterverse; the plane of existence between the Shatterspaces created by the Paradox Prism shattering. Shadow calls out to Sonic and tells him that everything is broken. Sonic gets confused at seeing Shadow and thinks that he is hallucinating. Sonic then starts to recall the time before the prism shattered when he met up with Shadow.
While stocking up on rings for his battle with Eggman, Sonic encounters Shadow, who runs into him on purpose to make him stop. Sonic then goes to say an introduction for Shadow saying that he's not his twin brother and that he's kind of his biggest rival. He also mentions that Shadow roller skates, but Shadow corrects him and says that he wears Air Shoes (shoes without wheels). Shadow tries to talk to Sonic to ask him what he did wrong, but Sonic ends up fighting Shadow instead because he refused to tell him what was going on. He taunts and banters a lot with Shadow as they fight. Shadow gets a lot of hits on Sonic, which causes Sonic to lose all the rings he collected. When they finally stopped due to the recoil of them hitting into each other, Sonic hears an explosion from the mountain where the fight with Eggman has already started. When Sonic was about to talk, Shadow punches him in the face and tells him to focus (on him). 
Due to his high speed running in the hamster-like ball, a large energy burst happens, which causes New Yoke City to lose it's power for a moment before a back-up energy source continued the city's operations. The large energy burst also helped Sonic break out of his cage and float down to the floor. After his flashback with Shadow ends, Sonic calls out Shadow's name in confusion while tired from the energy burst his running did.
In response to Shadow punching Sonic in the face, Sonic tricks Shadow by saying that Eggman is behind him. Shadow believes Sonic and looks in the direction Sonic pointed. Sonic then spindashes into Shadow and runs away to the mountain to go join the fight. Before he leaves, Sonic winks at Shadow good-bye. Shadow breaks out of the pile of rocks that toppled him due to Sonic's stunt with anger, but he quickly takes a breath in to calm himself. He then chases after Sonic up the mountain and sees Sonic before he breaks the Paradox Prism.
Just as Sonic breaks the Paradox Prism, Shadow pulls out the Green Chaos Emerald he found earlier, lunges towards Sonic and yells out "Chaos Control!" This causes Shadow to somehow teleport into the Shatterverse and causes him to not shatter into a different version of himself like Sonic's other friends. There, Shadow waits for Sonic and sometimes talks to him if Sonic is going fast enough to almost teleport from one Shatterspace to another.
When done with mending the relationship between Thorn and her friends, Sonic goes to find the Paradox Prism shard in the Boscage Maze Shatterspace. As he's running to the shard, he goes fast enough to see a glimpse of Shadow in the Shatterverse. Shadow calls out Sonic's name and tells him to keep on moving. Sonic responds by calling out Shadow's name in confusion and starts to question how he knows about his predicament and that he's running. But just as he was going to ask more, Sonic trips on a vine and plummets head first into the Paradox Prism shard. This makes him end up teleporting to New Yoke City again.
While Sonic was running to check on the Chaos Council's flying aircraft to find Nine (who has been captured by the Chaos Council), Sonic runs fast enough to see a glimpse of Shadow in the Shatterverse. Shadow talks to him saying to keep going and to not stop. Sonic calls out Shadow's name in confusion and keeps on running. This causes Sonic to create his own dimensional portal which leads him to the No Place Shatterspace.
While in the No Place Shatterspace, Sonic sees Knuckles the Dread falling with a piece of the Paradox Prism. To save Dread, Sonic runs faster and sees a glimpse of Shadow in the process. Shadow calls out Sonic's name, but Sonic only grunts in response and tries to move faster. Sonic then catches Dread, but as he catches him, the Paradox Prism Dread was holding moves towards Sonic's face and makes him teleport into the Shatterverse.
When Sonic teleports from the No Place Shatterspace into the Shatterverse, Shadow stops his trajectory by pushing a crystals towards Sonic. When he stops, Sonic sees Shadow with confusion. Sonic then goes on to say that he doesn't have time for a different version of Shadow and that he wants to go home. Shadow gets angry at this comment and reminds Sonic that it's due to his mistake that their home is gone. The episode ends with Shadow punching Sonic into the crystal he used to stop Sonic's trajectory.
Season 2
In the beginning of the second season's first episode, it shows what happened after Shadow teleported using Chaos Control when Sonic broke the Paradox Prism. After looking at his surroundings for a short moment, Shadow immediately notices Sonic, calls out his name and tries to go after him. He faces a few obstacles as he chases after him like the projections of Sonic's friends and the crystal shards floating around. Desperately and going as fast as he can, Shadow tries to catch up to Sonic. Despite his speed, using his rocket shoes as rockets to fly towards Sonic and using the Chaos Emerald's power to teleport short distances to catch up to Sonic, Sonic ends up going through the red gateway and into the New Yolk City Shatterspace. Before Sonic enters the gateway, Shadow tries to reach out to him, but fails to grab him. Seeing that Sonic entered the gateway, Shadow's expression hardens and he speeds up again to try to enter the gateway with Sonic. To Shadow's dismay, he is repelled despite his desperate efforts. This causes him to lose the Chaos Emerald to the darkness below after slamming into a few crystal shards. After realizing the Chaos Emerald is gone, Shadow decides to focus on going to where Sonic is instead of finding the Emerald. He speeds to the gateway again and instead tries to punch it to force his way in. He desperately keeps on trying to punch the gateway and ram himself into it to force himself in. As he does this, he sees events in the world that happen while Sonic is in it. Shadow only stops once he sees Sonic opening a gateway due to his speed. Though frustrated at first that his attempts are not working, after analyzing and realizing that what he was looking at was Sonic, Shadow decides to go up to him to try to tell him what is going on. What Shadow tells Sonic while he is running is, "Sonic, it's broken. It's all broken."The shockwave caused by Mr. Doctor Eggman's experiment on Sonic while he was in the New Yolk City Shatterspace caused Shadow to be flung to one of the Shatterspace gateways. After realizing the gateway, Sonic comes out of the New Yolk City gateway and into the Boscage Maze gateway. Shadow realizes this and looks in Sonic's direction. He then quickly goes to the gateway Sonic entered and stares into it. When Sonic was going fast enough to cause a distortion in the gateway, an image of Sonic can be seen about to exit the gateway. When this was happening, Shadow stares at Sonic in the eyes. Even if Shadow can see Sonic, Sonic can't see Shadow at first. Shadow then calls out to Sonic, which causes Sonic to trip on a vine. Due to tripping, Sonic touches one of the Paradox Shards and exits the Boscage Maze Shatterspace. Shadow immediately tries to chase after Sonic and catch him, but due to not being fast enough with his rocket shoes being used as rockets and from not having the Chaos Emerald to teleport, he fails to catch Sonic again. Sonic again enters the New Yolk City Shatterspace, which causes Shadow to stop in his tracks in front of the gateway.
Due to Sonic running fast again, he distorts the gateway for the New Yolk City Shatterspace. Shadow again is in front of Sonic starting at him as he causes this distortion. He calls out to Sonic to not stop running. This causes Sonic to exit the gateway. The impact pushes Shadow away and causes Sonic to enter the gateway for No Place. Shadow again tries to catch up to Sonic, but fails. This frustrates him and he decides to try a new strategy to catch Sonic. As Sonic was exiting the No Place Shatterspace, Shadow pushed a crystal towards Sonic to make him stop flying. This ends up working and have Shadow and Sonic end up facing each other while in the Void.Sonic at first doesn't realize that the Shadow he is looking at is the same Shadow he knows. Due to this, Sonic is quick to be rude to Shadow by saying that he doesn't have time to deal with him. Sonic also adds that he just wants to go home. This angers Shadow because Sonic is the reason why their home doesn't exist anymore. Shadow ends up getting so angry that he punches Sonic into the floating crystal shards. Shadow doesn't ease up on him and Sonic just asks if he could leave him alone. Shadow doesn't listen and ends up kicking him into more crystal shards. Sonic recovers from this and starts to try to find a way back to where Nine could be. As he is talking to himself, Shadow appears next to him while flying with his rocket shoes. Sonic notices him and starts to insult Shadow. Realizing that Sonic is being nonchalant, Shadow changes his strategy and catches Sonic off guard by grabbing his leg from below. After slamming Sonic into two crystals, Shadow finally stops his onslaught of attacks and tells Sonic that he is stuck in the Void because of him. Sonic is about to dismiss what Shadow said until he realized that Shadow said his name, meaning that he knows him. Shadow confirms this by saying that he is the only one of himself.
After telling Sonic that there is only one version of himself, Shadow punches next to Sonic's head, which causes the crystal they were on to turn into dust. Shadow then mildly cools his anger towards Sonic to comment on how he doesn't listen. Shadow then reemphasizes on how their home doesn't exist anymore to Sonic and asks if he understands what he is saying. Sonic is at first in disbelief, to which Shadow answered by asking what Sonic thinks he has been trying to tell him this whole time. Shadow then gives a run down of the events that happened again. Sonic admits to his faults and that things just keep getting worse. Due to this, Shadow becomes sympathetic and sighs. Shadow then tells Sonic to follow him.
As Sonic is following Shadow, Sonic asks Shadow about how he ended up in the Void. Shadow tells him how he followed him up to the Temple Mountain and used Chaos Control just as Sonic shattered the Paradox Prism. Shadow further explains that when he reappeared, he was in the Void. The first place Shadow takes Sonic is to the New Yolk City gateway. As Sonic is looking at the gateway, Shadow takes glances towards Sonic's technology on his shoes. Not noticing, Sonic asks Shadow if he was able to see him the whole time. Shadow explains to him that that's not exactly it. He further explains that when Sonic goes really fast, he kicks up Prism Energy and that in turn thins the veil to the Void. Shadow explains it as Sonic opening a portal to the Void. From this explanation, Sonic starts to piece things together.
Shadow continues to talk to Sonic and tells him that he was tracking Sonic as he was going from gateway to gateway. As they talk to each other, they stay next to each other by Shadow flying with his rocket shoes and Sonic jumping on crystal shards. While getting to their next destination, they pass by the other two gateways for the other two Shatterspaces. After passing those two gateways, Sonic asks what the darkness below them is. Shadow answers him that he is not sure, but believes that it is an eternity of darkness that decays all life. Sonic replies to this in a somber tone by saying, "Game over." Sonic continues to ask Shadow questions like why he didn't follow him into the gateway. Shadow replies to him that Sonic can enter them, but he can't. There is only one exception to that, which is explained through a flashback. Shadow isn't sure why he can enter this gateway, but he thinks that it might be because it's not fully formed or because it's decaying. He describes the Shatterspace as if it's like a ghost. Sonic then asks what the place is, Shadow's only reply to him is to check for himself with him.
As Shadow leaps into the yellow gateway, Sonic follows after him. This causes them to enter the Shatterspace through the sky. Shadow lands gracefully on the ground, but Sonic didn't have a good landing by landing on his face. Shadow stares at Sonic with disappointment before hopping down next to Sonic. Sonic groans in pain, which makes Shadow roll his eyes at him. Sonic comments on how this Shatterspace looks like home and then dashes away to look around. Shadow simply rolls his eyes at him again. As Sonic is looking through the area, he sees ghost versions of his friends that repeat the same lines over and over again. After realizing that these versions of his friends are not the same, he asks what is wrong with them. Shadow then appears to tell Sonic that this place is another Shatterspace with cruel versions of the people they know that are made to make them suffer. After realizing the gravity of his mistake, Sonic sits down on a rock and looks down at his shaking hands. Shadow walks up to Sonic and looks at him as Sonic is becoming depressed over the reality of things. Sonic then gets up and asks Shadow how he can fix things. Shadow at first looks at Sonic for a moment before deciding to let go of his anger with a sigh due to seeing Sonic being very remorseful over his actions. He then tells him to come with him.
As Sonic and Shadow are going to their destination, they at one point run next to each other while going up the mountain. As they ran next to each other, each gave each other a glance before switching spots. Shadow is the first to arrive at the location. When Sonic catches up and realizes where they are, he gets sad. Shadow realizes this and calls out Sonic's name to get him to pay attention and to keep on moving. Sonic listens to Shadow and slowly walks up to the cave entrance for Temple Mountain where the Paradox Prism was found. As Sonic walks into the cave, Shadow looks at Sonic's technology again and then Sonic and the cave itself. After Sonic comments on how the Paradox Prism they are looking at is also probably a ghost, Shadow walks up to be next to Sonic and also looks at the Paradox Prism ghost.
After Sonic is done recalling the events before and when the Paradox Prism shattered, Sonic says to Shadow, "I would do anything to be back..." Shadow then decides to finish Sonic's sentence by saying, "Home." after him. Shadow then looks towards Sonic and tells him that there might be a way to fix everything. Shadow then runs up to the ghost Paradox Prism. Sonic quickly follows after him. Once at the Paradox Prism shard, Shadow starts explaining his theory on how they can fix the shattered reality.
In Shadow's explanation, he explains that every shard belongs to a Shatterspace that creates a distorted version of their reality. It then makes Shadow come to the conclusion that the yellow Paradox Prism shard they are looking at has to be real. Sonic and Shadow then walk up to the shard, which has them end up facing each other in front of the shard. Sonic is about to reach out to touch the shard, but Shadow realizes this and yells at him to not touch it. Sonic is shocked by Shadow's demand and comes up with a lame excuse to make it seem like he wasn't going to touch it. Shadow doesn't respond to his poor attempt to dodge his actions and instead tells him about the plan. They both walk away and look at the yellow prism shard as Shadow explains the plan. He believes that the ghost shows them how the other shards could fit back together. He further explains that that would mean that they need to bring the shards from the other Shatterspaces here and connect it to this Paradox Prism shard to maybe fix the shattered reality. Sonic understands the plan and decides that he should tell Nine about it. Shadow disagrees and says to Sonic, "No." Sonic is confused as to why he says no to him because he knows Nine is very smart. Shadow's answer to that is that Nine can't be trusted. Sonic is even more confused because he believes that Nine is just like Tails. Shadow argues back that Nine is not Tails. He further adds to it saying that all the versions Sonic has met are not his real friends. Sonic gets offended by this and argues that they are all real and that this is Nine's reality. Sonic tries to defend Nine and tells Shadow to stop being harsh on him. Shadow's only response is an angry groan. Shadow ends up getting frustrated and angry at Sonic again due to him not listening to him when he's trying to protect them from potential harm. But Sonic is too trusting of the versions of his friends he saw and stays stubborn in wanting to defend them from Shadow, even if Shadow never said that he was out to hurt them.
After arguing about Nine, Sonic decides to turn the conversation into a new direction by saying that all he has to do is get the shards back here. But as he was saying that, Shadow looks away, slightly shakes his head and interrupts him by saying that that's not the plan. (Seeing how Sonic tried to defend Nine, Shadow realizes that Sonic can't differentiate the other versions of his friends from the real versions and he realizes that Sonic thinks that they are the same. From that, he knows that Sonic can't make difficult decisions if needed and that getting the shards from them and fixing the universe can be more difficult; Shadow realizes that Sonic is too emotionally attached to versions of his friends that are not his friends and how that might lead Sonic to hesitate. Because of this, he decides that he has to do things himself so that things can be done as quickly as possible with the least amount of problems or difficulties.) Sonic is confused about this, but Shadow reminds Sonic that it was his fault in the first place as to why the reality is shattered. Sonic acknowledges that, but tries to convince Shadow that he should be the one to take care of things. Fed up with Sonic's stubbornness and ignorance, Shadow ends up spindashing into Sonic. He then continues to explain how Sonic's turn is over and how he wants to go and get the job done himself. Sonic doesn't like this idea and doesn't want to give him Nine's technology out of fear of what Shadow might do when collecting the shards. This causes them to fight.
Sonic runs out of the cave, but Shadow is close behind him and ends up grabbing him as they go over the cliff. They exchange a few blows to each other in the air until they reach the ground. Sonic punches Shadow in the face, but Shadow uses that as an opportunity to steal one of the technologies with his teeth. Shadow shows this off and calls out how he now has one out of four. Sonic is surprised by this, which makes Shadow respond to Sonic that if he wants it back that he has to take it from him. Sonic takes the challenge and tries to get the technology back from Shadow. This causes Shadow to smile towards Sonic as he tries to grab Shadow due to knowing that his taunting towards Sonic worked. They continue to fight each other as they go towards the beach. When at the beach, Shadow gets the upper hand on Sonic and steals two more technologies from Sonic. This aggravates Sonic and has them continue to fight. Shadow ends up pushing Sonic into the water. When fighting him in the water, he gently pushes Sonic down after stealing the last technology from Sonic. He then punches him before swimming away, but before Shadow could escape his reach, Sonic reaches out and steals two of the technologies back. Shadow doesn't realize this until they are out of the water and Sonic shows off to him. This has Shadow chase after Sonic again through Ghost Hills. They continue to race and fight each other for the technologies. As they jump off a cliff after going through a loop-de-loop, Sonic and Shadow grab onto each other as they fight to take each other's technologies. This causes them to spin in circles in the air before Shadow kicks Sonic off of him after taking all the technologies from Sonic. In a flashy manner, Shadow puts on the last technology before looking at Sonic with a smile. Not realizing that Shadow has all of the technologies already, Sonic tries to aggravate Shadow by telling him, "One left. Come at me, bro!" Shadow then smiles at Sonic and tells him, "Nah, I'm good." As he tells him this, Shadow twirls around and shows Sonic that he has all the technologies. Sonic is in disbelief and yells out, "No!" when he realizes that Shadow has all the technologies. Shadow then smiles towards Sonic again and tells him, "So long, Sonic. See ya back home."
Sonic tries to chase after Shadow once he left. Due to not having the technology to support him, the power surging within Sonic becomes unstable. Due to this, Sonic is unable to catch up to Shadow. Shadow realizes this and smiles towards Sonic before picking up speed and leaving the Shatterspace. Sonic still tries to catch up, but fails. He then remembers Shadow's words and decides to try to go really fast. This ends up working and makes Sonic teleport out of the Shatterspace and run into Shadow. Shadow is pushed against many crystals before Sonic calls out to Shadow to give him back the technologies. Though, before he could finish that sentence, Shadow headbutts Sonic. They then both crash into a crystal before exchanging blows against each other again. Shadow ends up throwing Sonic away and tries to make it towards a gateway. But as he was leaving, a crystal shard blocks his path. Shadow looks up and realizes that many shards are coming down. Sonic realizes it too. From this Shadow starts running at full speed towards a different location. Sonic soon follows after and tries to catch up with Shadow while dodging falling crystals like Shadow. After getting out of the way of the falling crystals, Sonic and Shadow jump off of the crystal they were on and use the crystals around to either catch up to slow down the other. As Sonic was trying to catch up with Shadow, Shadow turned around to taunt Sonic by mimicking what Sonic said to him earlier. Shadow says to Sonic in his own monotone voice, "Come at me, bro." But just as Shadow finished saying this, Sonic grabs Shadow by the shoulders, which causes them to turn in circles in the air a bit.
Just as they stopped spinning, Sonic was about to punch Shadow, but got distracted by the Chaos Council teleporting into the Void. Shadow also stops for a moment in their fight before hitting Sonic away and going towards the flying vehicle the Chaos Council is on. Sonic realizes who the vehicle belongs to and that they were headed towards the Boscage Maze Shatterspace. Sonic then also goes after the vehicle like Shadow. Neither one was able to catch up to the vehicle, but due to believing that the technology can make him travel between Shatterspaces, Shadow charged towards the gateway and tried to force his way in. This ends up failing by the gateway repelling Shadow in a painful manner. This causes Shadow to yell out in pain, faint and crash into a crystal far away. Sonic was close behind him and saw Shadow get repelled. As he flies away, Sonic looks towards Shadow's direction and calls out his name. He immediately tries to catch up to Shadow when he crashed into the crystal by using the nearby crystals to help him catch up to Shadow. A scene showing the audience in Sonic's perspective is shown where we see Sonic's hands reaching out towards Shadow as he falls down to save Shadow. (This is parallel to the scene from the first season where it shows Shadow's hands reaching out towards Sonic when having a vision of the future.) Shadow stays limp in Sonic's arms until Sonic crashes them into some crystals up above. The crash ends up waking Shadow up. Sonic then makes a comment on how the whole stream of events has made him exhausted.
After Sonic saved Shadow's life, he brags about it towards Shadow. He also emphasizes on how he will get to have Shadow remember this forever. Sonic then asks Shadow for his technology back. Shadow was about to reluctantly give it back, but Sonic already had them and put them on. Shadow is not amused by his trickery as he hears Sonic put on the technologies. Sonic then shows off the technologies that are now back on his gloves and shoes to Shadow by posing, smiling and winking at him. Instead of commenting on Sonic's behavior, Shadow gets upset at how he doesn't understand why things happened this way. He continues on by saying that he believed that all he needed was the technology, but after recalling the information he knew, he realized that it's actually something that has to do with Sonic that allows him to travel between the Shatterspaces. While Shadow was trying to make sense of things, Sonic was smiling at Shadow. When he realized that he was special in some way, Sonic emphasized on it. Shadow ignored this and then continued to say that the only way to fix the reality that Sonic shattered is by working together. As Shadow was saying this, Sonic said the last part of his sentence together with him, but in a happy tone. Shadow stares at Sonic for a bit before grunting in agreement. After that, Sonic and Shadow both said to each other that they need each other. Sonic emphasized on it more towards Shadow by saying that Shadow needs him more. After that, Sonic then jumped down to go enter the Boscage Maze Shatterspace. Before entering, Sonic looked up at Shadow and gives him a big smile. Shadow then gave Sonic a nod of agreement. With that, Sonic said bye to Shadow and entered the Shatterspace. After Sonic entered the Shatterspace, Shadow is shown staring where Sonic was for a while.
After Sonic entered the Shatterspace, he notices the Chaos Council vehicle and jogs towards it. As he's jogging towards it, he looks towards the portal he just came through and says, "I won't let you down Shadow. Together, we're going to fix this." Sonic then smiles as he jogs towards the Chaos Council and an image of Shadow is in the background.
When Sonic enters the Void again by exiting the Boscage Maze Shatterspace, he meets up with Shadow again. Shadow overhears Sonic talking to Nine and makes a comment to him by saying that one of them finally makes sense in what they're saying. This catches Sonic's attention and he says back to him that Nine is on their side. As he was about to ask if Shadow doesn't want to help, Shadow cuts him off and says that he can help. He then spindashes into Sonic to make him drop into the gateway for the No Place Shatterspace.
As Sonic was running to escape Dread Knuckles' crew from killing him, he was going fast enough to thin the veil to the Void. When he was talking to himself saying that he thought getting the Prism shard should be easy, Shadow interrupts him by asking him who he was talking to. This surprises Sonic and almost makes him drop the Prism shard. Shadow then comments on how he sees that Sonic has the Prism shard and tells him to run faster to get out of there. Sonic replies to him that it is hard to gain enough speed on water, even with the type of shoes he has. Just as he says that, the veil reforms due to Sonic running too slowly. After a short while, Sonic is able to thin the veil again and tells Shadow that it is hard to do that when pirates are after him as well. Shadow then responds to him by saying that he should go somewhere they can't blast him then. Sonic reassures him that he just needs some solid land to get enough speed and that he knows where to go to do that. When he gets there, he says that the ship will just be a blip in the distance. As he says this, a homing laser appears on his head. Shadow sees this and questions what Sonic meant by a blip.
When Sonic finally escapes the Dread Knuckles' crew and gets to the mountain the blue Paradox Prism shard was originally found, he starts running up the mountain to get enough speed to teleport out of the No Place Shatterspace. Just as he jumps off the mountain and believes that he will finally be able to get out of there, the Chaos Council's main aircraft appears above him, which makes him hit the bottom of it and fall to the top of the mountain. As he's groaning in pain, Sonic says to himself, "Thanks for the head's up, Shadow!" wishing to himself that Shadow would have warned him about the Chaos Council coming.
When Sonic finally escapes from the Chaos Council's vision due to teleporting out of the Shatterspace, Sonic finally ends up in the Void with Nine and three Prism shards. As soon as he enters the Void, Sonic is tired and loses his grip on the crates with the Prim shards in it and Nine on top. Nine gets concerned for Sonic, but then Shadow appears rocketing towards them and catches the crates. Shadow then makes a comment towards Sonic that it was about time he got the shards. Sonic notices Shadow and smiles towards him. He then jumps on the crystals to traverse the Void. While he is doing this, he introduces Nine to Shadow and Shadow to Nine. Nine then comments on how he notices that Shadow is not a version of Sonic, but that he could be like a twin to him. Shadow refuses this and says that he is the ultimate lifeform. Sonic then tells Nine to not listen to him and motions for them to hurry towards the Ghost Hill Shatterspace. It then shows Sonic and Shadow going into the Ghost Hill Shatterspace with Shadow rocketing the crates and Nine into the gateway.
As Sonic, Shadow and Nine enter Ghost Hills, Nine helps Shadow gently put down the crates with the shards. Sonic watches them with a smile on his face until he hears ghost Tails' voice. He turns towards the voice and runs over to them. When Shadow notices this, he looks at Sonic with an unamused face as he goes towards them. Sonic then stops in front of them and smiles at them with fondness. Shadow walks up behind him and stops to look at them too. As Sonic signs from feeling nostalgic, Shadow growls at the same time as he hears the ghost versions of Sonic's friends repeat the same lines over and over again. As he makes a comment towards them by saying that they are just saying empty nice words that people want to hear (Shadow's line from the animation: "Sycophantic wish fulfillment."), Sonic looks at Shadow with a contempt smile on his face and lowers his eyelids at him like he's saying, "That's how Shadow would react to this situation."
As Nine was commenting on how the Ghost Hill Shatterspace seemed to be in stuck in a blueprint like state before transforming, Nine notices the ghost Tails version and walks up to him. He then questions if this is the Tails that Sonic thought he was like and scoffs saying that they're nothing alike. Shadow notices this and narrows his eyes at Nine. Suddenly a reality quake happens and it makes Shadow ask what was going on. Nine clarifies that it is a reality quake and comments how they don't have time and need to hurry. Shadow then tells Sonic and Nine to follow him as he dashes off with Sonic pushing the crates with Nine on top dashing after him.
Sonic, Shadow and Nine arrive at the Temple Mountain and each open up a crate to reveal the Paradox Prism shards inside. They all take a step back and Sonic begins to talk about how things are finally at its end and that all that have to do now is rebuild the Paradox Prism. Just as Sonic was about to go up to fix it, Nine stops him and warns him that fixing it is not that simple. He goes on to say that the alignment of the shards have to be perfect or else things can be altered and have massive repercussions. As he is listening to Nine's explanation, Sonic looks at him in surprise while Shadow looks at Nine with seriousness and caution. After Nine's explanation, Sonic comments on how he's not good with tiny details. Nine then says that he can do it, which makes Sonic look at him with a slightly surprised face as Shadow continues to look at Nine the same was as before. As Nine says that he needs to make calculations, Shadow looks at the prism ghost then back to Nine with the same look. Sonic then makes a comment asking what him and Shadow can do to help, but Nine refuses the offer and says that he has to do it alone with no distractions. He doesn't want to risk something going wrong. Shadow then makes a comment towards this after thinking on it for a bit. He says that it will be best to take Sonic outside to keep him away with an unamused face. As soon as he's done saying this, Shadow looks at the shards as Sonic thanks Nine for putting it together. He then comments on how they are a great time, high-fives him and then exits the temple with Shadow leading him outside. As they were leaving, Shadow takes a quick glance backwards before fully exiting the temple.
When Sonic and Shadow are outside the temple, Shadow stands at the edge of the cliff and asks Sonic how he knows they could trust Nine. Sonic walks up to the cliff too and replies to Shadow that he sees that Shadow has problems with trust and teases him by saying that that's why Shadow doesn't have any friends. Shadow doesn't comment on Sonic's teasing and simply states that he doesn't think that Sonic's friend wants the same thing that they do. Sonic brushes off the warning and says for Shadow to cheer up. He then comments how things are almost over and that all that's left is Nine fixing the Paradox Prism and everything turning back to normal. As Sonic says this, Shadow looks at him with a disapproving look and slightly shakes his head at him due to his overwhelming optimism and trust in Nine. Just as Sonic was finishing his sentence when saying, "We did it!" the Chaos Council appears in the sky above them. Sonic then looks apologetic towards Shadow and comments on how he may have spoken too soon. Shadow simple looks at Sonic upset.
As the Chaos Council sends out their robots and flying aircrafts across Ghost Hills, Sonic looks at Shadow from the cliff and asks him about hating this part of things. He then continues saying, "The buildup? Shadow and Sonic, versus unbeatable odds, with the fate of the world at stake." He then annoyingly comments on if they can't just get on with things already. As he says this, Shadow simply looks at him with his arms crossed but then rolls his eyes at him unamused when Sonic made his annoyed comment. Sonic takes this as him rolling his eyes at him stretching and says that he doesn't want to pull a muscle. Shadow doesn't reply to him and asks Sonic while pointing with his head what they were going to do about Nine. He further elaborates that they can't just leave him with the shards. Sonic argues back that they can and that Nine is the only one who can put the Paradox Prism together to fix reality. He then questions Shadow on how he really doesn't seem to trust Nine. Shadow confirms this by saying, "No." to which Sonic answers that saying that of course Shadow doesn't. Shadow turns away from Sonic and looks out to the Chaos Council again. Sonic then makes another comment saying that Shadow can't trust anyone. He then starts to tease Sonic saying that if Shadow wants to stay there and babysit then he is more than welcomed to. For himself, he says that he's going to go buy them some time from the Chaos Council. Shadow looks at Sonic before he jumps down the cliff and stares at him as he goes off. He then narrows his eyes and after thinking about things for a bit, he decides to follow Sonic and jumps down the cliff too.
As Sonic is running towards the Chaos Council's army of robots, he notices Shadow skating up to him. He then teases Shadow saying that he couldn't resist a team-up with him. Shadow answers in a Tsundere way that that's not the reason why he decided to join and that the reason why he joined was because he sees that Sonic tends to get into trouble when he's alone. Shadow then skates ahead of him with Sonic teasing Shadow that him being alone means a landslide victory and Shadow is just jealous. Shadow and Sonic then work together to beat up the robots in front of them one by one. After defeating all visible robots, Sonic and Shadow go next to each other and pose. Mr. Doctor Eggman makes a comment on this by saying, "Oh, my egg!" Dr. Don't make his own comment saying that now there's two of Sonic and how that's impossible. Dr. Babble then makes a gesture where he holds up one fist then another and then smashes them together with open palms. Dr. Deep then makes his own comment saying that all the dimension hoping shouldn't make them surprised as they watch Sonic and Shadow dash across the screen in front of them.
After seeing Sonic and Shadow defeat their robots so easily, Mr. Doctor Eggman decides to enhance the robots with a bit of prism energy. As Sonic tries to go and punch one of the enhanced robots, it catches his punch and punches him away. This causes Sonic to fall on the ground and find it hard to get back up. Seeing that he was having a hard time getting up, Dr. Done-It decides to fire several missiles at Sonic. Before Sonic could get blasted by the missiles, Shadow skates to Sonic, picks him up and carries him over his shoulder to save him from the blast. After the bright flash from the missiles were gone, Shadow says in a Tsundere way that he would probably regret doing what he did. 
After getting out of harms way, Shadow gently puts down Sonic. They both then look up to the sky to look at the flying aircrafts that have members of the Chaos Council inside. Sonic then turns to Shadow and tells him to split up. Shadow looks at him before they run off and listens to Sonic's order. Before they split up, Sonic says that he will take the new aircraft that arrived and runs off in the opposite direction of Shadow. The scene then focuses on Shadow as he runs away from the aircraft with Dr. Don't in it. As he's running, he dodges the lasers from the aircraft with precision and skill. This catches Dr. Don't off guard and he tries even harder to hit Shadow, but fails. Mr. Doctor Eggman then decides that he has to intervenes and tries to hit Shadow with a powered up laser. Shadow barely dodges the laser, but isn't noticed dodging this. This makes the Chaos Council members think he has been vaporized. Seeing that he has tricked the Chaos Council members into thinking he has been defeating, Shadow looks up towards them while hiding behind a tree and smiles. He then jumps on a ledge and escapes the area. Sonic hears the explosion from the laser and skids to a stop. He then looks towards Shadow's direction and calls out his name in distress. He then abandons his fight with Dr. Deep and Dr. Done-It and runs towards the direction of the laser blast. As he gets there, Sonic stares at the crater in the ground from the blast with surprise and sorrow. He then shakes his head as he tells himself that there's no way Shadow would go down that easily.
After Sonic made one of the Chaos Council's aircrafts crash, Sonic cheers in victory and runs towards an open field. As he's running, robots come flying towards him. But before he could reach them, Shadow comes from behind and defeats one of them before making a landing in front of Sonic. As he sees this, Sonic makes a comment that he was right about Shadow being okay. Shadow then takes care of another robot and Sonic jumps over him to take care of the rest of the robots behind him. Sonic then tells Shadow that the robots aren't tough when they are working together. Suddenly Dr. Babbles can be heard and this brings Sonic and Shadow's attention to him. Shadow then runs up to stand next to Sonic as they prepare for another fight. The other aircraft then fly over them and drops Dr. Deep in his mech suit next to them.
Noticing what Nine is up to, Mr. Doctor Eggman decides to power up Dr. Babble and Dr. Deep with prism energy to keep Sonic and Shadow busy. Both Sonic and Shadow gasp at seeing the power surge for both of the Chaos Council members. As the members charge at them, they both charge back and fight the two. As he is fighting, Sonic notices that the aircraft that dropped Dr. Deep is flying towards the Temple Mountain. Due to the distraction, Dr. Babbles gets a hit on Sonic and flings him away. After Nine radios Sonic about what is happening at the temple, Sonic gets up and tells him that he'll be there soon. As Dr. Babbles was about to get another hit on Sonic, Shadow hits him away and tells him to go and protect the prism. Sonic looks at him with a serious look and nods. He then dashes away with Shadow watching him.
After getting a power-up thanks to Nine and defeating some of the enemies near the temple, Sonic talks to himself with the power of the prism and agrees with himself that he should probably go check up on Shadow. After defeating all the enemies around the temple, Sonic talks to himself and challenges himself to a race to Shadow. He then jumps off the cliff and runs towards Shadow. As Sonic is running towards Shadow, Shadow is fighting both Dr. Deep and Dr. Babbles on his own. He is able to get a kick on Dr. Deep, but gets capture in Dr. Babbles' mech hand. As the other hand is pointed at Shadow to shoot him, Sonic calls out Shadow's name from the distance and apologizes to him for keeping him waiting. Sonic then beats up both of the Chaos Council members as Shadow falls to the ground. As Shadow rubs his head due to the impact, Sonic goes in front of Shadow a smugly smiles at him. Shadow is about to ask him how he was able to do what he did, but before he answered, Sonic answered by saying that he got a power-up to come save Shadow. Shadow then turns his confused face into an unamused one upon hearing Sonic's explanation.
Seeing that Sonic and Shadow are too hard to beat with robots alone, Mr. Doctor Eggman decides to change his strategy. As the lasers from his aircraft point towards the sky, Sonic stands next to Shadow and expresses his confusion. He questions why the lasers are aiming away from them and how that doesn't make any sense as Shadow continues to stand there while looking at the aircraft. Sonic continues saying that maybe the Chaos Council knows there are beat, but Shadow isn't amused by this answer and shows it on his face. Sonic continues talking and says that they would not give up that easily and that if he believes that, that he is dumber than he looks. As he says this, Shadow gives a nod in agreement, looks at Sonic and tells him, "Finally a Sonic I can agree with." Sonic then looks ahead in shock at Shadow's words. They both then continue to stand next to each other as they stare up into the sky to see what Mr. Doctor Eggman could be doing.
The lasers from Mr. Doctor Eggman's aircraft create a prismatic titan of Eggman. As Sonic and Shadow were staring at it, Sonic makes a comment saying, "It's official. I've seen it all." Upon hearing this, Shadow gives a slight nod in agreement to Sonic's words. As the prismatic titan reaches the ground and starts walking, Shadow points out that it is heading towards the temple. They then both take off and run towards the prismatic titan. Sonic tries to spindash into it, but gets wacked away with ease. This causes him to crash into the ground. After recovering and standing up, Shadow comes over and stands near Sonic as they both stare at the prismatic titan. The prismatic titan then goes to a loop-de-loop and demolishes it to get past it. Upon seeing this, Sonic says, "No!" in distress and reaches out towards it. Shadow then calls out to Sonic and tells him to not go to fight the prismatic titan. He looks at him and tries to reason with him that if he doesn't protect the shards, then he can't protect anything. Sonic doesn't listen due to being enraged by something getting destroyed and runs off towards the prismatic titan. Sonic tries to spindash into the prismatic titan multiple times, but it has no effect and is flicked away. As Sonic is on the ground due to the impact, Shadow comes from behind the prismatic titan and tells Sonic to go get the shards. As he tries to punch the prismatic titan, the prismatic titan turns around and blasts a laser from its mouth at Shadow. This causes him to cry out in pain as he flies away from the impact. Seeing this, Sonic calls out Shadow's name with distress.
Upon seeing the explosion from seeing Sonic defeat the prismatic titan from the distance, Shadow heads towards the blast's location. After defeating the prismatic titan due to becoming prismatic himself, Sonic gets up from the ground. As he looks around, he spots Shadow who arrived and looked at him from a distance. He gives him a smiles from seeing that he is okay and runs off towards the Temple.
As Shadow is looking at the temple from a distance, he sees an explosion happen due to Nine breaking apart the Paradox Prism and braces from the impact. After recovering from the shock, he looks up towards the temple again and narrows his eyes in anger. Shadow makes it to the temple's entrance to see Nine take the shards away. Sonic tries to convince him that things could work out, but Nine doesn't listen and walks through the portal to the Grim Shatterspace. Seeing that he escaped with the shards, Shadow growls in anger as Sonic covers his face in sorrow.
Season 3
Sonic looks at the space where Nine just left with the shards. As he's looking, Shadow takes a look around and realizes that the world is destabilizing due to Nine's actions. Shadow runs up to Sonic to tell him that he was right about not trusting Nine, but he pushes it aside to tell him that things are disintegrating and that they have to escape. Seeing that Sonic was not moving, Shadow takes his hand to encourage him to start running out of the disintegrating mountain.
Sonic and Shadow run out of the mountain and down it's side. Realizing that the disintegrating of the mountain was catching up to them, Shadow tells Sonic to jump and pushes him off the mountain and towards the land below. Shadow makes a good landing, but Sonic falls on his face. Once on the ground, Sonic looks up at Shadow and gives him a thumbs-up to show that he's okay. Shadow only looks at him with a deadpan face before both look at the mountain completely disintegrate.
While looking at the disintegrating mountain, Shadow reminds Sonic that they need to leave the world. Sonic replies saying that he doesn't have to tell him twice. Shadow is surprised at Sonic's newfound determination. Afterwards, they both start running trying to escape the Ghost Hills shatterspace. While running, Shadow tells Sonic that with enough speed, they should be able to teleport out of the world. With that in thought, they both start working together to escape.
While escaping, Shadow helps Sonic by grabbing his hand and throwing him up while he uses the momentum to get himself up as well. Both then continue running on a strip of land until it throws them off by disintegrating. Once getting up, Shadow notices Sonic looking at his ghost friends once more. Unamused, Shadow goes up to Sonic saying that they've been through this conversation before and reminds him once more than they're not real. After reminding him, Shadow reaches out his hand to comfort him, but before he reaches him, Sonic turns around to convince that maybe he could save them. Shadow flinches back from this with pity and sorrow in his face. Realizing that Sonic is again trying to do the inevitable and something that will hurt him or kill him, Shadow clenches his fists in anger as Sonic tries to walk up to the ghost friends.
As Sonic walks up to the ghost friends, Shadow goes in front of him and to forcibly stop and reason with him. Though previously saying that the other versions of his friends are not real, Shadow pushes that aside to convince Sonic to leave the ghost friends by saying to save the other ones that still have a chance to live. Sonic isn't at first convinced even after Shadow sharpens his point by saying that if he wants to save the others that they would have to leave now, but after one last look at the ghost friends floating away, Sonic calls out to Tails saying that he will see him again. Sonic then wipes away a tear as he turns back to Shadow. Shadow watches him without saying anything. Sonic then looks at Shadow with a serious voice before saying for them to get out of the world. Shadow simply nods before both get into reading positions and dash off.
As they're dashing off, Shadow once again helps Sonic up on a higher platform, but this time Sonic jumps on the bottom of Shadow's feet before being pushed up. Shadow then follows after him by propelling himself up with his rocket shoes. Again running on a strip of land, Sonic asks Shadow how they are going to get to enough speed to teleport out like this. Shadow then looks up and sees tears in the sky and says that those will be their exit. Realizing what Shadow means, Sonic iterates how they have to go vertical. Once agreeing, Shadow tells him to jump and both jump up onto debris from the disintegrating. They both then continue to jump onto debris in sync before both go into balls to spindash into several debris before reaching the tear in the sky.
Once exiting the world through the tear, Sonic and Shadow both collide with crystal shards in the Void before gaining their footing again on a stable debris. Once gaining their footing, both look at the gateway for the Ghost Hills, which explodes soon after. Due to the explosion, crystal shard flying debris fly everywhere and hit the shard they were standing on. In response, both grab onto a shard that starts to spin rapidly from the impact. Sonic then looks at Shadow and tells him to hold on. Shadow then tried to hold on and pull himself up, but also loses his grip with one hand before grabbing the shard again with both hands. The shard finally hits into a different shard and explodes which has them both grabbing that shard instead. Both pull themselves up and lie belly down on the shard exhausted from the string of events.
Once again regaining their composure, both get up and look at the now exploded Ghost Hills gateway. Upon seeing this, Sonic realizes that if this happened to this gateway, it can happen to all the other worlds as well. Shadow then walks up next to Sonic and tells him that Nine betrayed him and left them to die. He ends his sentence saying that Nine will pay dearly for his betrayal.
After pondering on this for a while with his hands covering his face, Sonic then points out the facts how things are gone like the Paradox Prism shards. After seeing Sonic distressed, Shadow then looks away and says that if he learned anything from being with Sonic, that there is always another way. Realizing this complement, Sonic makes a comment asking whether or not that was a complement from Shadow. Shadow simply sharply turns to look at him with a deadpan face before saying that Nine is out there somewhere hiding in one of the shatterspaces. Sonic and Shadow then take a moment of silence before Sonic realizes where Nine has gone.
When realizing where Nine has gone, Sonic jumps up in glee before explaining to Shadow that Nine must be in The Grim shatterspace with the last Prism shard with a big smile. Shadow then realizes that that's the reason why Nine wasn't able to complete the Prism before. As Shadow is talking, Sonic continues to keep his smile. They both then get interrupted by a flying debris that flies in between them. Both dodge it with Shadow leaning away from where the debris passed and Sonic falling to the floor. After a moment has passed, Shadow then looks at Sonic and asks him if he remembers where the gateway for The Grim is. Sonic then jumps up with a smile again and says that of course he remembers and points one way, but he then quickly takes back his word and points in another direction before telling Shadow to follow him. Shadow was about to get upset at Sonic for getting the wrong direction, but simply shakes his head before following after Sonic.
As they traverse through the Void, Sonic uses flying debris as platforms to travel while Shadow simply rockets himself around. As Sonic was jumping on debris, a flying debris makes its way to where Sonic is standing. Noticing it about to hit Sonic, Shadow speeds up to grab Sonic's torso to get him out of harms way. Shadow then gently places him on another debris and looks over at Sonic to make sure he's okay. Sonic then looks at Shadow before smiling and nudging him with his elbow while saying "Thanks, buddy." Shadow gets surprised from this but responds saying for Sonic not to get used to it. Sonic plays along with Shadow and tells him that he wouldn't dream of it.
Sonic and Shadow then appear at The Grim gateway. While looking at it, Shadow reminds Sonic that he can't pass through gateways. Sonic then looks at the gateway and notices the same tears from the Ghost Hills shatterspace. He then points to it and tells Shadow that there's always another way. Noticing what Sonic meant, both head to the tear and enter The Grim shatterspace together.
Upon entering, both take a look at their surroundings while walking up to the new structure Nine made with the Paradox Prism. Noticing them, Nine calls out to them to stop them from coming any closer. Sonic then tries to talk to Nine, but has his words fall on deaf ears. Shadow then points out how it was always all about power to Nine. Sonic is about to deny this, but before he could Nine confirms it and says he wants the power to create his perfect paradise.
After stating how he wants the Prism for power, Nine uses its power to create a forcefield around them. Upon seeing it, both Sonic and Shadow look around before Shadow makes a comment for them to destroy the traitor, Nine. Sonic then looks at Shadow and asks to let him try to reason with him. Shadow gets upset at the notion and questions Sonic's suggestion. Sonic then asks for Shadow to at least let him try. Before Sonic is able to finish the rest of his statement, Shadow already states that Nine would be his to beat down then, but Sonic say no and that he will be defeated by the both of them together. Shadow becomes surprised at Sonic's answer and looks lowers his fists as he looks at Sonic walk up to try to convince Nine.
Sonic tries to reason with Nine, but again his attempts fall on deaf ears. Seeing as how his words have shaken Sonic's confidence, Nine smiles and retreats to his base as he has Alpha Grim Sonic appear to show that he replaced Sonic with a robot. Upon seeing the robot, Sonic questions who or what the robot is. Shadow answers seriously that it is Sonic, but Sonic says that if you squint and tilt your head to the side that it also looks like Shadow. Shadow simply gives him a questioning look before looking back at the robot and saying that whatever it is, it is in their way. By saying this, it is implied that Shadow agrees with Sonic's thoughts on the robot looking like both of them and that it can be either one of them. Sonic then looks at the robot as well and responds to Shadow that it won't be in their way for long. Soon after saying that, the robot jumps down and rams itself into the both of them which knocks them off their feet.
Once regaining their footing, Sonic becomes annoyed at having to fight a robot similar to Chaos Sonic and dramatically said to Nine that he defeated one of these before. As Sonic is saying this, Shadow glances at Sonic before looking back at the robot enemy before them. Nine reminds Sonic that he was the one to help defeat Chaos Sonic and that now he is on his own to fight this robot. Sonic's face and ears droop down in sadness at the thought, but at that moment, Shadow walks next to Sonic and gets into a battle ready stance before saying that Sonic is not alone. Upon hearing Shadow say this, Sonic's face immediately lights up and he mirrors Shadow's stance. They then both look at each other with a nod before going forward to fight Alpha Grim Sonic.
Shadow is the first to kick Alpha Grim Sonic, which sends him towards Sonic. Sonic tries to get a kick in as well, but misses. They both then run after the robot. Both at the same time try to hit the robot, but both miss and are swung and thrown by the robot. Shadow comes back from being thrown and tries to punch the robot again, but he misses again. Both then chase after the robot once again. Sonic tries to get a hit in by going in the air, but he gets deflected away. Shadow then tries to follow-up by kicking the robot, but he misses. Both then are seen mirroring each other as they slide across the ground with one hand on the ground to further stop their momentum. As the robot gets closer, they both look up at it before it kicks Sonic away. As soon as Sonic is hit away, Shadow tries to fist fight it, but eventually gets kicked aside. Sonic then comes to follow-up by punching it. He then proceeds to blocks and mirror some attacks before he headbutts it towards Shadow's direction. Shadow then follows-up on Sonic' attack by kicking the robot down to the floor before kicking it again, but towards Sonic. Sonic then also kicks the robot but into the air. Once the robot lands, both ready their spindash attacks before attacking the robot in sync by hitting it multiple times before sliding forward in sync while panting. As the robot tries to get up after the combo attack, Shadow jumps on the robot to turn it off. Sonic looks at the robot in anger before both look up at Nine and Sonic says that things are over.
After seeing Sonic and Shadow defeat the Alpha Grim Sonic, Nine says that he will decide when things are over. Upon saying this, Nine has the other Alpha Grim robots appear before Sonic and Shadow. After getting mad at Nine for turning his friends into robots and Nine commanding them to fight the two, both engage the group of robots together. Sonic takes on the Alpha Grim Amy and Alpha Grim Birdie while Shadow went to take on the Alpha Grim Rouge.
During the middle of their fight, Sonic and Shadow meet up with each other. They both look at each other before calling out to the over in sync to look out behind them. Sonic dodges the hammer attack towards him due to this warning and Shadow jumps on top of the Alpha Grim Rouge. As Sonic is fighting the Alpha Grim Amy, as it is about to make a downward hammer strike on him, Shadow flies the Alpha Grim Rouge into it before it is able to attack Sonic. Because of this, the hammer flies into the air. Both watch it before it lands next to them. After seeing it miss Sonic, Sonic gets up and both look at the Alpha Grim Sonic who has recovered from their fight with it with a fighting stance. In sync they both dodge a kick from the robot. After dodging it, Shadow tells Sonic to go to the Paradox Prism. Out of confusion and concern, Sonic asks back if he means to leave Shadow alone with the robots. Shadow reassures Sonic that he will be fine and to go. Trusting in Shadow, Sonic does as he is asked and goes towards the Prism.
When trying to get to the Prism, Nine makes Sonic get hurt and fall on the ground. Upon seeing this, Shadow yells out Sonic's name in concern before skating over to him to protect him. As he is standing next to Sonic's body, he looks around as the robots start to surround them. Once Sonic regains himself and gets up, Shadow stands up straight with him and out of his fighting stance.
When Nine explains that some of the Paradox Prism energy is missing and looks Sonic up and down, Shadow looks up and down Sonic as well before looking back at Nine. When looking at Nine, Nine glares at Shadow from seeing him as a obstacle in the way while also knowing that Shadow understands what he meant. Upon seeing this, Shadow looks with shock before getting angry from noticing that Nine is after Sonic's energy and that he is looking to harm him.
After Nine flies away after making his point, Sonic and Shadow both get ready to fight the robots again. But before they fight again, Shadow tells Sonic that he has to leave while still keeping his eyes on the enemy. Since Sonic is now looking at Shadow in confusion from his statement, Shadow grabs Sonic's torso and takes him out of harms way. Out of harms way for a moment, Shadow looks at Sonic and explains that Nine is after Sonic's Prism energy.
Sonic and Shadow continue to fight the robots until Shadow realizes that the forcefield is flickering. He then turns his attention to Sonic and sees him getting beat up by the robots. The sight angers him and has him spindash to Sonic. Shadow then circles around Sonic to create a tornado to protect him from the oncoming robot attacks. He then moves the tornado with Sonic inside towards the forcefield. Seeing that Shadow was taking Sonic away from him, Nine creates a chasm in the direction the tornado was going. Before they reach the chasm, Shadow goes into the tornado and grabs Sonic's foot. He then uses the momentum of the tornado to throw Sonic out of the forcefield and towards a tear in The Grim. As he does this, he tells Sonic that this is for his own good. Once thrown, Sonic yells out Shadow's name until he reaches the outside. With Sonic gone, Shadow then takes on the robots alone before he is hit into the chasm.
As Sonic is fighting the Grim robots, he goes against a certain Grim Sonic that hits him down into a chasm. When he is about to get stomped on by the Grim Sonic, Shadow appears from behind the robot and destroys it. This ends up saving Sonic. Seeing Shadow, Sonic makes a comment that Shadow is okay. Sonic then asks Shadow to help him up while calling him a "bro." Shadow grabs Sonic's hand and helps him up but replies to him that they are not related. Sonic sighs upon hearing Shadow take his words literally and says never mind. He then goes on to ask Shadow if he's okay. Shadow replies to him that he is surviving and explains what happened once he fell into the chasm. He explains that to keep him busy and down in the chasm that Nine sent many Grim Sonics, to which he adds that it wasn't the worse thing in the world. At that moment, two Grim Sonics look down at the two in the chasm. Upon looking up and seeing them, Sonic looks back at Shadow and asks if he's up to beating up some more Grim Sonics. Shadow gives him a slight nod before both run up the wall and in sync punch the two Grim Sonics.
When fighting the Grim Sonics, Shadow jumps over the chasm and hits the robot into the chasm. When seeing this, Sonic decides to copy Shadow and does the same as he did with the Grim Sonic he was fighting. Another Grim Sonic tries to attack Shadow, but Shadow grabs it and throws it over the chasm to Sonic. Sonic then works in sync with Shadow on the spot and both hit the robot around until they hit it into the chasm with the others.
Once completing their teamwork, Sonic goes over to where Shadow is standing and makes a comment on their good teamwork. He then raises his hand for a high-five, but Shadow simply looks at him before getting down to business about the current problem they are having by the Alphas being able to produce an unlimited number of copies. Sonic waves his hand to signal that he wants a high-five, but Shadow simply keeps on talking about the issue at hand. Seeing that he won't get a high-five, Sonic high-fives his own hand before talking with Shadow on how things are under control with Rebel's plan. Shadow isn't convinced due to knowing that the Alphas that can multiply are near the Paradox Prism. Upon hearing this, Sonic asks Shadow what they should do, to which Shadow answers that the two of them should go after Nine himself. Sonic stops him by grabbing Shadow's arm. Shadow looks at Sonic's hand before pulling away from him. With a roll of his eyes and a sigh, Shadow puts his hand on his hip and he listens to Sonic's reasoning. Hearing Sonic repeat what Shadow said about them not defeating the Alphas is a problem, Shadow nods his head in approval. Sonic continues saying that the only way they have a chance is by working together. Upon hearing this, Shadow is in disbelief before he turns to Sonic and tells him that it is the end of the universe and how Sonic is still caring about his friends. Sonic argues back saying that of course he is because they are sacrificing themselves for him. Shadow retorts that it makes it even more reason as to why they should go after Nine himself. Sonic comes back asking if they should let them get beaten up when Nine is only after him. Upon saying this, Sonic gets an idea. It is implied that at this moment, Sonic might have informed Shadow about his plan first before going to the others and telling them about it.
After coming to a conclusion on what to do, both start running back to the group of Sonic's friends. As they were running back, the Grim Big was taken down. Surprised at them being able to take down the troublesome robot, both look at each other in surprise. Both then stop in front of the friends next to each other.
After Rebel comments on how Sonic is okay, Sonic grabs Shadow and introduces him to everyone. As Sonic was introducing Shadow to the rest of the alternate versions of his friends, Sonic side hugged Shadow, pulled Shadow close to himself, nuzzled into Shadow and rubbed Shadow's arm. Shadow was surprised by Sonic's actions and closed his eyes when being snuggled. Afterwards, Sonic poses with him in front of everyone and Shadow simply stares at them without pushing Sonic away. After hearing Nine trying to regain his mind, Shadow goes down into a fighting position with Sonic still holding onto him. He still does not push Sonic away.
After seeing Nine yell out after trying to regain himself, Sonic and Shadow are shown next to each other with Shadow in his fighting position as before and Sonic next to him commenting on how Nine is acting is terrifying.
After Nine found Prim, Gnarly and Hangry trying to sneak into the tower, Sonic walks up to look at the tower. When he stopped, Shadow too walked up next to Sonic before stopping next to him. As Sonic is explaining his plan to the rest, Shadow stands near Sonic and watches him before looking at the rest there.
Before getting ready to take on Nine's onslaught of attacks from his Alpha Grim robots, Sonic and Shadow look at each other. Both give each other a nod of mutual understanding before looking back at the tower to get ready to enact their plan.
At first, Sonic tries to fight the Alpha Grim Sonic, but upon seeing the others get hurt, he throws the robot away and goes to help them. Before the robot can pursue Sonic, Shadow comes to punch the robot and keeps its attention on himself instead of Sonic.
While fighting the Alpha Grim Sonic, Grim Sonics come to join the Alpha to fight Shadow. As the Grim Sonics come to attack Shadow, he gets ready to fight them, but gets crushed and forced into the ground. Upon seeing this, Sonic calls out Shadow's name in worry and concern.
When Nine commands his Alphas to come and attack Sonic, Shadow stops the Alpha Grim Sonic from reaching him by saying that he isn't going anywhere. Shadow then fights the Alpha Grim Sonic to keep him at bay and away from Sonic. When fighting the robot, the fight between it and Shadow mirrored Shadow's fights with Sonic in Seasons 1 and 2 with the Alpha Grim Sonic doing the same movements as Sonic.
After fighting the Alpha Grim Sonic for a while, Shadow temporarily gets beaten by it and lies down on the ground after trying to get up. Seeing that it stopped Shadow's pursuit, the robot goes towards Sonic at the tower. When it is about to attack Sonic, Shadow appears and launches himself towards the robot while saying that he was not done with the robot. Shadow ends up saving Sonic by causing the robot to explode along with the other Grim Sonics there by spindashing into them with great force. After the smoke clears, Shadow is seen posing with one hand to the ground. Noticing him, Sonic looks at Shadow with surprise.
While out of breath, Shadow answers Nine's question on how he was able to do what he did by saying that he is the Ultimate Lifeform with breaths in between his words. Sonic appears behind him and says that he's modest too. Upon hearing this, Nine decides to use the Prism energy to electrocute the three present with him. Sonic is able to block the attack by using the power of his shoes and gloves, but Shadow and Knucks get the full force of the electrocution. After a while of seeing that Nine won't stop hurting Shadow and Knucks, Sonic hurls himself towards Nine and have them fall down to where the Paradox Prism is. This helps save Shadow and Knucks from continuing to get electrocuted.
After getting saved by Sonic, Shadow leads the charge into breaking into the tower.
While Sonic is trying to convince Nine to stop one last time, Shadow looks at the two of them, sighs then purses his lips.
When everyone thought that all hope was lost, Sonic denies that and goes to the top of the machine that will take his Prism energy away. When he does this, Shadow looks up from the floor and at Sonic. After Sonic talks to Nine how he will help because he is a friend, he looks at Shadow for approval of his actions. Shadow looks back at Sonic before giving him a nod of approval. Sonic then nods back before turning his attention to everyone. Shadow continues to look at Sonic as he tells others that if he gives up his Prism energy that they have to leave Nine alone and Nine also has to leave them alone.
While talking about the risks of taking the Prism energy away from Sonic, Rebel asks how Shadow is different from Sonic in terms of him staying in their reality without shattering. Sonic answers her by saying that Shadow blipped into the reality and therefore has different circumstances. As he explains, Shadow watches Sonic talk about him.
As the machine powers up to take Sonic's energy, Shadow opens his clenched fists a bit before tightening them again while watching Sonic. After a burst of energy, Shadow covers his eyes with his arm, but quickly looks back at Sonic and resumes his previous position. After watching Sonic starting to get hurt from the machine, Shadow is shown about to go towards Sonic, but he decides against it and doesn't take the step he was about to take. Hearing Sonic yell in pain, Shadow watches Sonic with clenched teeth and fists before turning his attention to the Paradox Prism to see the cracks starting to repair.
After Sonic's Prism energy is taken from him, he is left in a weaken and ghost-like state. As soon as the process was done, Sonic tries to keep himself up, but fails and falls to the ground. The scene cuts to Shadow seeing this. Shadow weakly reaches out for Sonic while realizing how hurt Sonic has gotten. When the realization sunk in more, Shadow's face fell in devastation.
When the friends from the New Yoke shatterverse go up to beat up Mister Doctor Eggman, Shadow stays behind along with Sonic.
When Knucks comments on how Sonic has friends to help him get to the Green Hills gateway, it pans to show the other friend versions and Shadow with his hand on his hip. While it pans to show Shadow, Shadow glances towards Sonic.
After getting saved by the ship with Shadow on it, Shadow looks Sonic over up and down before they continue their journey to the Green Hills gateway.
As they head towards the Green Hills gateway with the ship, Shadow looks out towards the gateway. While doing this, Sonic gets zapped and catches Shadow's attention. Shadow's eyes widen with concern until he furrows his brows with a serious face. 
When trying to transport the weakened Sonic to the Green Hills gateway by ship, the ship takes on heavy damages from the flying debris. When the ship started slowing down, Shadow took it upon himself to grab and kick away any debris heading towards Sonic.
Realizing that the ship can take them no further, Shadow says that he will take care of taking Sonic to the Green Hills gateway. He then goes to where Sonic is, slings Sonic's arm over his shoulder, makes sure he's steady by grabbing Sonic's hand over his shoulder, supports Sonic by holding onto his side and takes Sonic to the front of the ship. Once to the front, he helps Sonic jump up and even puts his other hand in front of Sonic's torso to make sure he doesn't fall. They continue to jump to various flying debris with Shadow holding onto Sonic's side as they head towards the Green Hills gateway.When landing on a specific flying debris, Sonic gets zapped again causing him to falter. Noticing this, Shadow looks at Sonic with concern, looks at the Green Hills gateway, then looks at his hand before deciding to pick up Sonic in a bridal style. (This mirrors the time Sonic carried Shadow the same way in Season 2 when Shadow became unconscious from the rebound from trying to enter the Boscage gateway.) Shadow then fixes Sonic in his arms to have a better grip while looking closely at his face. He then looks forward and with a burst of speed, starts skating towards the Green Hills gateway once more.
While carrying Sonic, Sonic makes a comment to Shadow saying that he didn't know he was much of a hugger. Sonic gets zapped again when asking but looks at Shadow with a smile, even after getting hurt. Shadow looks at him unamused and asks whether he wants to be saved by him or not. From hearing this, Sonic smiles at him before getting zapped again and falling almost unconscious. When seeing this, Shadow again gets concerned and starts to speed up even more.
After seeing Sonic on the verge of not making it, while skating, Shadow puts all his energy in his leg to boost them towards the Green Hills gateway past the speed of sound. As they are flying to the gateway, Shadow calls out to Sonic to hang on. The scene then cuts to show the gateway, Sonic in his weakening state, Shadow gripping Sonic's body tighter and Shadow's face becoming more serious before they enter the gateway.
At the end of the animation, Sonic notices Shadow at the mountain's entrance. When connecting eye contact, Shadow looks at Sonic then at his hand, which pulls out the Green Chaos Emerald. Noticing Shadow's subtle hinting, Sonic nods his head at him to confirm their secret plan. After Eggman talks some more, Shadow uses the Chaos Emerald to teleport on top of the Paradox Prism. After Eggman asks what Shadow is doing there and Shadow responding that as the Ultimate Lifeform he goes wherever he wants, Shadow yells out "Chaos Control!" and teleports away with the Paradox Prism. Eggman becomes distressed from this and Sonic then goes to where the Paradox Prism was and tells Eggman that when someone has a crew like himself, they're unstoppable. (This is implying that Shadow is a part of Sonic's crew since he helped him against Eggman by taking the Paradox Prism away.)
===Trivia===
* In the Season 2 Episode 1, Sonic acts more caring and trusting towards Shadow when he is not looking. This happened when Shadow became unconscious after trying to get into the Boscage Maze gateway and when Sonic entered the Boscage Maze Shatterspace to chase the Chaos Council. He showed this by becoming distressed when he thought Shadow was gone/dead, by risking his life to save Shadow's, by gently carrying Shadow in a bridal style, through his soft and concerned look at Shadow when he was carrying him, and by saying to Shadow that he wouldn't let him specifically down when he wasn't there to hear it. He also showed concern in Season 2 Episode 8 where it was thought that Shadow was obliterated by a laser. Sonic got concerned for Shadow by desperately calling out his name before he ran from his battle and to where the laser was thought to hit Shadow. He then told himself when he didn't see Shadow there that he knows that Shadow would be okay because he is tough.
* thumb|IDW Comics Shadow carrying Sonic bridal styleIn Season 2 Episode 1, this is the first time Sonic ever hugged Shadow on his own in official materials. This is also the first time Sonic ever carried Shadow. Shadow also carried Sonic the same way Sonic did to Shadow in this episode, but Shadow did this in the IDW Comics. The only other times Sonic and Shadow touched each other in a way that wasn't due to a fight was in Sonic Adventure 2 when they clasped hands after defeating the Final Hazard and in Archie Comics when Sonic held onto Shadow's hand to catch him from falling.
* Despite Sonic constantly saying that Shadow isn't one way or that he's not usually so "nice," Sonic holds a sort of trust in Shadow. Though he knows what he's capable of, he knows that Shadow won't try to kill him and Shadow has shown this by only fighting him for legit purposes. Shadow hasn't tried to kill Sonic at any point, but he does fight him knowing that he can take the hits.
*When Sonic saved Shadow from falling into the endless darkness, Sonic teases Shadow that he will be able to hold this over him forever. Despite this comment, Shadow doesn't deny Sonic that and accepts that he was saved by him.
*In the Season 2 Episode 1, Sonic and Shadow admit to each other that they need each other. Shadow tries to emphasize that Sonic needs Shadow, and Sonic admits that he does. But he also teases Shadow that he needs him more.
*Despite Sonic saying that Shadow has trust issues, Shadow actually showed that he trusts only Sonic. He showed this by telling Sonic the plan of them working together to gather the Prism shards and bring them back to Ghost Hill. It is only when Sonic tries to bring Nine into the picture that Shadow decides that he has to do things alone since he can tell that Sonic won't be able to fight against his "friends" if it comes down to it. The reason why is because he finds Nine not trustable, which he further confirms to himself later when he saw that Nine was completely different than Tails like he said. But even if he didn't trust Nine, because he trusted Sonic, he decided to help Sonic fight the Chaos Council when they invaded Ghost Hill and leave Nine with the Paradox Prism shards.
*Shadow isn't opposed to working together with Sonic. You can know this from how he included Sonic in his original plan in bringing back the Paradox Prims shards to Ghost Hill. He was only reluctant at first because he knows that the mess they are in is because of Sonic and because he knows that Sonic is likely to mess things up due to being too sentimentally attached to the other version of his friends. Because of this, that is why he wanted to do everything himself to make things quicker and with less problems involved. But once he saw that he couldn't, he accepts the fact that he needs Sonic's help and that he is to work together with him in order to turn things back to normal. You can also know this by his actions like when he gave an acknowledging grunt after Sonic said, "...together?" with him and by Shadow giving Sonic a nod of approval before he enters the Boscage Maze Shatterspace. Sonic is also not opposed to working together with Shadow and even says to himself that he and Shadow will fix things together.
*When Sonic makes off comments about himself or Shadow, Shadow usually just keeps his anger or displeasure in by sharply inhaling air, by giving out a deep sigh, by quietly growling or by ignoring what Sonic said to continue talking. After doing either action, he then either takes action on continuing what he was doing or continues talking on whatever subject he was on. This was shown when Sonic spindashed Shadow into the cliff to go to where Eggman was in Season 1 and when Sonic made the excuse to Shadow when Shadow told him not to touch the Paradox Prism shard. This was also shown when Sonic comments on himself being special or when Sonic was shown remorseful for his mistake.
*In Season 2 episode 1, when Sonic asked Shadow how he ended up in the Void, Shadow tells Sonic that he chased him up the mountain and into the cave before he shattered the Paradox Prism. He also states that he was using the Chaos Emerald to teleport out of the cave, but if we look back at the scene from Season 1, you can see that Shadow lunged towards Sonic before yelling out "Chaos Control." This brings the question if Shadow was truly using the Emerald to teleport out of the cave or if he used it for a different purpose like trying to reach Sonic before exiting the cave or to reach Sonic in general.
*Except from the Archie Comics, this is the first time Sonic has ever confessed to someone that he loves another person specifically. He confesses when he tells Shadow specifically, "I heart you too, Shadow." which can also be taken as, "I love you too, Shadow." because hearts can be used as a universal meaning of love. You can also take it as Sonic saying to Shadow that he loves him too because he hugged him on his own volition, because he saved him at the risk of his own life, because he often teases him (which usually happens when someone likes someone), because he has constantly shown distress towards Shadow when he is hurt and because he has shown to care about Shadow throughout the series.
*For Sonic Prime's 8th episode in season 2 when Shadow saves Sonic from getting blasted by missiles, the Thai dubbed has Shadow say: "I feel bad if I didn't help you." and Sonic replies saying: "I love you too, chu chu (kiss kiss)."

==Sonic Boom==
===Overview===
Sonic Boom is an American comedy animated series that was created in inspiration of the Sonic Boom game series. It's Japanese alternate name is Sonic Toon. This series takes place in an alternate world where Sonic is taller and has blue arms instead of his usual peach colored ones. This Sonic is usually referred to as Boom Sonic in English and Toon Sonic in Japanese. Many characters like Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Eggman and Amy Rose are portrayed very differently than their video game counterparts in both personality and appearance in this series. Most characters in this series are given a wardrobe and physic change and look quite different from their video game variations. There are also characters that don't look or act different than their video game counterparts. These characters are Orbot, Cubot and Metal Sonic. In this series, many new characters are introduced like Sticks the Badger, Dave the Intern and Soar the Eagle. Sticks can be seen in some official mainline creations from Sonic Team with Modern Sonic, but she has not been shown in any mainline video games so far. But she does has a profile on Sonic Team's website Sonic Channel and was mentioned by Amy Rose, who is said to be Stick's close friend, in Sonic Frontiers. How Sticks looks is the same as how she looks in Sonic Boom when portrayed in the official mainline creations.

Due to being made by the Western branch of SEGA, many of the characters' personalities are quite different than what the characters are usually known for. For example, Boom Sonic is shown to have a fear of water, but Modern Sonic does not fear water like Boom Sonic does. Knuckles is also quite different where Boom Knuckles is not smart and often makes mistakes because of the lack of intelligence he has. Boom Shadow is also different where he is more violent and unreasonable compared to his canon/video game self. The way the characters are portrayed is how Western SEGA sees the characters. SEGA Japan portrays their characters quite different from how Western SEGA portrays them. Because of this, and because the series is of an alternate universe, this series cannot be taken as canon or official to the main storyline for the 'Sonic the Hedgehog' series.
===Summary===
The story takes place on an island where Boom Sonic lives in a shack on the beach. On the island, many comedic encounters happen between Sonic, his friends, Eggman, Orbot, Cubot and the villagers who live on the island with them as they live their lives in Hedgehog Village and other places of the island. In most stories, Boom Sonic has to stop Eggman from terrorizing the village or from doing other evil deeds.
=== Moments===
In season 1 episode 52, Shadow appears before Sonic after Eggman reaches out to Shadow. Seeing Eggman as a waste of time, Shadow doesn't join Eggman in defeating Sonic, but fights Sonic on his own accord. He wins his fight with Sonic until Eggman distracts Shadow with a camera flash. After getting angry at Eggman for interfering, Shadow says to Sonic, "We'll fight again soon, Sonic. But next time, on my terms..." Shadow then teleports away and is not seen until season 2 episode 51.
In season 2 episode 51, Shadow is confronted by Eggman. Shadow doesn't wish to waste his time on him, but Eggman gains his attention by showing him an edited video of Sonic insulting Shadow. Because of this, Shadow goes to find Sonic to beat him up. Instead of beating up Sonic first, Shadow targets Tails and Knuckles first. He ends up beating them up until Sticks and Amy show up to join the fight. Just as easily as he defeated Tails and Knuckles, Shadow also beats Sticks and Amy. Once beaten down, Amy calls for Sonic's help on her communicator. Sonic then rushes to the scene and sees his friends beaten up. Shadow makes a comment towards him saying that it was about time he showed up. Sonic responded asking what Shadow has done. Instead of replying, Shadow rams into Sonic, which in turn makes Sonic get slammed into a wall after going through several palm trees. Shadow then looms over Sonic. The episode then cuts off as a cliff hanger.
Continuing from episode 51, in episode 52, Sonic and Shadow continue their fight against each other due to Eggman falsely accusing Sonic of insulting Shadow. While Shadow loomed over Sonic, he asks him, "Any last words?" Sonic responds to him saying, "Yeah... Volcano Wonderpants!" Shadow is confused by his words and comments saying that what Sonic said makes no sense. But as he says that, Sonic then rams into Shadow. They then continue their fight while Eggman records them. Once Sonic and Shadow spin dash into each other with enough force to make each other knock each other down, Eggman then leaves them to work on his video game. After Eggman leaves, Sonic and Shadow then continue to fight each other. At one point, both pin each other to the floor in an attempt to gain the upper hand. While Sonic was pinning Shadow down, he asks him why he was doing what he was. Shadow hits him off with his knee and says that he will pay for what he has said. Sonic is confused as he gets knocked into the tables and chairs. Sonic then responds saying that he didn't say anything bad with what Eggman recorded. Shadow then asks him, "What are you implying?" to which Sonic responds, "What are you inferring?" Shadow then says, "That Eggman manipulated that footage to manipulate Me?!" Sonic bluntly responds that, "Yeah, he'd do that." Shadow then believes in Sonic's word and says that he can't let Eggman get away with what he's done. Shadow then dashes away to enact revenge on Eggman.
Later during the episode, Sonic and Shadow end up fighting Metal Sonic together in another dimension due to Eggman trying to run away from the wrath of Shadow. Despite replying to Sonic that, "I take orders from no one." Shadow works with Sonic to try to beat Metal Sonic in his own way. Sonic's friends end up beating Metal Sonic in their original dimension after Metal blasted Shadow and Eggman away with an energy beam. 
When Sonic and his friends end up preventing the universe from ending due to two Eggmans existing in the same dimension, Shadow comments that he's not pleased with the results. Though, he says that he is impressed by Sonic for stopping his plan in trying to end the universe. He then leaves after saying, "I'll be back, Sonic. But next time, on my terms." Shadow then teleports away. Due to there being no other seasons after this, Shadow never appears again for that "next time." 
==Sonic X==
===Overview===
Sonic X is an anime made in Japan that first aired in 2003. Though made in Japan, it is not canon or official to the 'Sonic the Hedgehog' mainline storyline which derives from mostly the video games and other Sonic Team medias. When the anime first came out, it was not well received in Japan and only had its first two seasons aired in the native country. Though not well received in Japan, it was well received in other countries such as the United States and France. The translations from Japanese to other languages, such as English and French, were not completely the same as the what the native language says where some lines were added that were not originally in the original Japanese audio.
For Sonic X's first 26 episodes, it was based off of the game Sonic Adventure 2. In the next 26 episodes after the first 26, it was completely different than from the Sonic Adventure 2 storyline and had its own story. Though inspired by Sonic Adventure 2, the anime is not a faithful retelling of the Sonic Adventure 2 game story. Many things differ between the game and anime. Some things that are different are how there are more characters involved than who was shown in the Sonic Adventure 2 game like Chris and other humans, and some characters act quite differently compared to their video game versions.

When this anime was created, the original creator of Sonic the Hedgehog, Yuji Naka, was still the head of Sonic Team. He and a few other Sonic Team members at the time helped with the animation. Though Sonic Team did help with it in the past, the head of Sonic Team has change twice since then where Takashi Iizuka is now Sonic Team's current head. A lot of things have change since the creation of this animation and Sonic Team's current views have changed since the anime's creation.

In Sonic X, humans and creatures like Sonic are said to live in different worlds. But on Sonic America and Sonic Team's Youtube, that lore was debunked by a video series call TailsTube. TailsTube was created and shown on both channels in their respective language to tell lore facts about the 'Sonic the Hedgehog' series. On TailsTube, the theory of humans living in one world and creatures like Sonic the Hedgehog living in another world was debunked by Tails who explains that humans and creatures like Sonic live on the same planet. Humans are said to live on the bigger continents while the creatures like Sonic live on mostly islands. This fact further cements the fact that Sonic X is not canon or official to the main 'Sonic the Hedgehog' storyline, which is based off of mostly the games.
===Summary===
Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends are thrown into a different world while trying to stop Eggman in one of his evil schemes that was using the seven Chaos Emeralds. Due to an explosion of power caused from the machine using the Chaos Emeralds malfunctioning, Sonic and his friends are suddenly thrown into a world that is similar to the real world where only humans and realistic animals exist. While escaping the police, Sonic runs into Chris' uncle who is a part of the special police force that use high speed race cars to catch criminals. Sonic races Chris' uncle and breaks the speed barrier to get away from the police. Due to going so fast, Sonic is flung into the air and eventually lands in Chris' backyard pool. When Chris hears Sonic fall into the pool, he quickly goes to the pool to rescue Sonic before he drowns. Since then, Sonic stayed at Chris' house treating it like his own home or a base of sort while trying to find a way back to his home world.

Team Sonic Racing Overdrive is an animation made for the Team Sonic Racing video game and was uploaded on both Sonic Team and Sonic America's Youtube Channels. Three teams from the Team Sonic Racing game appear in this animation. Those teams are: Team Sonic, Team Dark and Team Rose. This animation has been cut into two different parts when first released. A video containing both parts was later posted after the first two initial videos. You can see both animations on either the Sonic Team's or Sonic America's official Youtube Channels. Although it is posted on a Japanese Youtube Channel, since the animation has both their voices and text in English, you can still watch it on either Sonic Team or Sonic America's Youtube Channel.

For the video that has both parts in it, Sonic America's simply says, [Team Sonic Racing Overdrive Complete] while Sonic Team's says, [チームソニックレーシング : OVERDRIVE 完全版 - The Complete Race]. (チームソニックレーシング translates to Team Sonic Racing.)
A video showing the behind the scenes sketches before it's finalized was shown on Sonic America's official Youtube Channel. In the video you can see that some things were changed from the original idea to the finalized product.
===Summary===
This animation takes place on the Wisp Planet Racetrack. The first two teams introduced are Team Sonic and Team Rose. It starts with seeing the first two teams compete with each other to stay in the lead. Some Wisp power ups are used to turn the tides which makes Team Sonic get pushed behind. Team Dark is then later introduced in front of Team Sonic.

As the race is going on, Eggman is shown and tries to interrupt their race through several schemes. One such scheme catches the attention of Big where one of Eggman's Badniks is giving away free Froggy T-Shirts. Big has a hard time getting to the products due to all the cars passing by, but he is later determined to get it no matter the cost due to it being free. He later causes a crash to happen between Sonic, Shadow, Amy and the Chaos due to walking out onto the middle of the racetrack. Big thinks nothing of it as is instead happy with his new items. As Team Rose drives off, the Badnik then changes the products to Chao Black Market items and hammers to get Team Rose's attention. After this, they are out of the race and don't appear again.
While Big was trying to get the items, the animation shows Sonic and Shadow competing with each other in two different scenes. Amy then appears in front of them and Chao rams his car into Shadow to get to the front. As they race, they eventually see Big on the racetrack and all crash together. This is the end of part 1.

Part two of the animation starts with showing Knuckles and Rouge compete with each other. Because of Rouge popping Knuckles' car tire with the Spikes Wisp, Knuckles' car is temporarily put out of commission. This infuriates Knuckles. Though due to Eggman's interfering by making his Badnik dressed as a cat go in the middle of the racetrack, Rouge crashes her car into a rock, which then made her car out of commission. Rouge and Knuckles are then stuck with both of their cars stranded on the side of the road. Rouge then tries an idea to ask Omega for help, though due to her phone call, Omega crashes into her car and now has his car also out of commission. Tails then comes by and fixes Knuckles' car. He then drives away with Tails while laughing at Rouge. Rouge then spots Shadow and tries to ask for his help, but he simply drives by without paying them any mind. Rouge then kicks Omega's car in frustration. Omega follows suit which results in the cars exploding. Rouge and Omega are then out of the race from this.

Eggman tries to use the same trick he did on Rouge to Shadow, but Shadow simply runs over the Badnik without a second thought. This surprises Eggman. Tails is then shown a bit as he drives carefree. Slowly from behind him, Shadow catches up. Shadow then uses an Eagle Wisp to hit Tails so that he can drive past him and take the lead. As he drives by Tails, he smirks at him. Sonic then appears and helps Tails stop from spinning. As Sonic and Tails drive behind Shadow and try too catch up, Shadow stops them again by using a Cube Wisp to make them both spin. They both turn their cars back straight before Knuckles makes a sudden appearance. Knuckles then lands next to Shadow and both start competing with each other for the lead. Sonic and Tails follow close behind. Sonic then asks Knuckles for some help. Knuckles throws a power-up bottle that contains three Boost Wisps, but the bottle ends up going to Tails. This helps Tails catch up to Knuckles and Shadow. Sonic then tries to look for a way where he can catch up. He spots a shortcut and decides to take it. This helps him catch up with his team.

Just as it looks like Shadow is about to win, Sonic makes his appearance from taking the shortcut he found. They then in unison use the Team Ultimate to ram past Shadow and get first place. Before Shadow's car gets flung into the air by their impact, Shadow teleports out of his car then back to the racetrack. He then walks up to the cheering stand where his other two teammates are and sits with them. It then cuts to showing Team Sonic winning and getting the first prize. After Sonic gives Tails the trophy and is distracted with Knuckles, Eggman steals the trophy from Tails and gloats like he won the entire race. Just as he was rubbing it in everyone's faces, Eggman gets buried under Shadow's car that was flung into the air earlier. The trophy is then flung into the air and goes back into Sonic's arms. Sonic's team shrugs it off and continues to relish in their victory as a Badnik behind them is in agony from what happened to Eggman.
===Moments===
As Big was trying to get the Froggy merchandise, scenes between Sonic and Shadow were shown. One such scene was Shadow driving up to Sonic as he was looking at him.
thumb|255x255px|Sonic Smirking at Shadow
Another scene not too long after the first shows Sonic and Shadow driving next to each other. Sonic then takes the opportunity to drive in front of Shadow, but while going in reverse. He then looks at Shadow and smirks at him once he steadies his car in front of him. This surprises Shadow at first, but he then looks at him upset. Shadow is then chasing after Sonic until they crash due to Big being in the middle of the racetrack.
From the impact of the crash, both Sonic and Shadow's cars are somewhat turned on their side next to each other. They both lay sprawled out on their cars in an awkward position as they stare at Big walking casually across the racetrack to get his Froggy merchandise.
