**Shadow The Hedgehog** is a recurring character in the **SephirothSword57 Show**. He is **SephirothSword57's** closest friend, and together they fight many battles against terrible foes. It is however revealed in Pokémon Go that he's been under Nintendo's thrall since the events of Bloodborne. It is currently unknown wether or not he's been aware of his actions during this time.

His first appearance was in Sonic Adventure 2, where he encourages **SephirothSword57** to complete the game, although his canonically first appearance was in the previously thought lost Sonic the Hedgehog review.

## In the SephirothSword57 Show

*The following is written in the order of the chronological timeline rather than order of video release, and may be subject to change.*

### Sonic the Hedgehog

**Shadow** chances upon and introduces himself to **SephirothSword57**. Upon noticing **SephirothSword57** playing *Sonic the Hedgehog,* he comments on it being a very good game, but would have been better if he was in it. **SephirothSword57** agrees, and asks Shadow to join him in the review, which he gladly accepts.

### Bloodborne

As the mysterious masked man reveals himself to be **Nintendo** and locks **SephirothSword57** in a boss battle, **Shadow** swiftly joins **SephirothSword57**'s party to assist him with his CHAOS HEAL ability. Eventually Nintendo decides to target Shadow with his ??? attack, dealing **9999** damage and insta-killing Shadow. This angers **SephirothSword57** to the point where he instinctively enters his *Bankai* form, which grants him the strength needed to defeat Nintendo.

**SephirothSword57** discovers Nintendo was carrying the *Dragon Balls,* and uses them to summon *Shenron* to grant his wish to resurrect **Shadow**. Shadow is grateful for his new lease of life, and spends the last moments of Season 1 together with Crono and Cloud as they watch **SephirothSword57** hold an inspiring speech before walking off into the sunset.

### Sonic Adventure 2

After **SephirothSword57** is nearly beaten by the game, **Shadow** appears with encouraging words. Shadow watches proudly as **SephirothSword57** finally beats *Sonic Adventure 2.*

### Shadow of the Colossus

After Shadow of the Colossus reveals its true self for **SephirothSword57**, it attacks in an attempt to stop the video of truth from being released. At the last second, **Shadow** jumps in front of **SephirothSword57** to take the blow in his place. With his dying breath he explains he'll do anything for a friend, and a grief-struck **SephirothSword57** cries out in sorrow.

After defeating Shadow of the Colossus, **SephirothSword57** goes to mourn the death of his friend. He suddenly remembers he's still got one *Pheonix Down* in his inventory, and navigates the items menu to use it on Shadow. He is immediatly revived, owing his life once more to **SephirothSword57**.

### The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

**Shadow**, now wearing a baseball cap and a bejewelled necklace, enters **SephirothSword57**'s home just as he is trying to figure out the logistics of an N64 controller. **SephirothSword57** explains he was just about to review *Ocarina of Time*, and Shadow advices against this because *"everybody knows that's a shit game, yo."* **SephirothSword57** responds that he already knows, and that his intention is to make a review not based on nostalgia or fanboyism, but honest and objective.

After defeating Link, Shadow comes back wondering what the noise was. **SephirothSword57** brushes it off a nothing special, then comments on how Shadow's been acting strange lately. Shadow wonders what he means by this, and asks if it's because he is black.

### Super Smash Bros.

**Shadow** visits **SephirothSword57** as he is enjoying a bowl of ramen to ask if he's heard his bro *Sonic* is in a fighting game. When **SephirothSword57** asks if Shadow meant *Sonic Fighters* (a pretty subarashii game) Shadow throws the *Super Smash Bros. for WiiU* game case to **SephirothSword57**, who expertly catches it with his chopsticks.

After the review, **Shadow** wonders if nobody will make an attempt at **SephirothSword57**'s life today. **SephirothSword57** remarks that he has been attacked a lot recently, as if Nintendo was still active. As **SephirothSword57** reflects on Link's words from Ocarina of Time, he is interrupted by the ringing of the doorbell. Wondering who it could be, Shadow asks if he forgot his cousin is coming over to stay during her transfer to the new school.

### Pokémon GO

**Shadow** barges into **SephirothSword57**'s home as he is having breakfast made for him by Nanami, claiming there to be a *Snorlax* nearby. Shadow mentions he's been playing the new *Pokémon GO* game, which makes **SephirothSword57** decide it's time to review it. As **SephirothSword57** is trying to navigate in the game, Shadow points out how you need to walk around in real life to move in the game.

When **SephirothSword57** finishes the review, **Shadow** states he's reviewed enough Nintendo games for Nintendo to be resurrected, and explains Nintendo had placed a curse on the *Dragon Balls* **SephirothSword57** used to bring Shadow back to life, and that he's now a brainwashed, loyal servant. Nintendo's plan was to use Shadow to convince **SephirothSword57** to make powerful reviews of his games this season in order to rise again. Shadow then leaves to join his master, and **SephirothSword57** follows in pursuit. He catches up to Shadow, and tries to reach through Nintendo's brainwashing. Shadow claims he doesn't want to do this, but that he has no time, and attacks **SephirothSword57**.

After trading some blows, **Shadow** states he's captures every *pokémon creature* in the world while **SephirothSword57** has been making reviews, and summons a *pikachu*, which swiflty targets **SephirothSword57** with *Firaga*. **SephirothSword57** explains while Shadow was captuing monsters, he was capturing demons and summons his own *Orpheus* to do battle with the pikachu. After the dust settles and **SephirothSword57** declares his victory, Shadow is nowhere to be found.

### The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

**SephirothSword57**, Crono and Cloud confronts Nintendo, who issues a challenge to **SephirothSword57**: review *Breath of the Wild*, and he will release **Shadow** from his control. Fail, and **SephirothSword57** will never see Shadow again. **SephirothSword57** accepts, and after an arduous review he returns to a gloating Nintendo, who after some monologuing calls Shadow to his side. Nintendo releases Shadow as promised, then immediately throws him into dimension portal.

After Aniki appears from another dimension portal, **SephirothSword57** is stabbed through the stomach by an evil Shadow Clone.
