Shadow the Hedgehog

## Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog)

**Shadow the Hedgehog** is a character appearing in Sega's *Sonic the Hedgehog* franchise. Shadow was created by Takashi Iizuka and Shiro Maekawa and first appeared in *Sonic Adventure 2* (2001). Although this was intended to be his only appearance, Shadow proved so popular among fans that developer Sonic Team decided to include him in *Sonic Heroes* (2003). Shadow has since featured in numerous *Sonic* games, including the spin-off *Shadow the Hedgehog* (2005). He also appears in *Sonic* film and television adaptations, comics, and merchandise.

Within the *Sonic* franchise's fictional universe, Shadow is an artificial, anthropomorphic black hedgehog created 50 years before the events of Sonic Adventure 2, by Professor Gerald Robotnik, the grandfather of series antagonist Doctor Eggman. After witnessing the death of his best friend Maria, Shadow vows to keep his final promise to Maria Robotnik, but had gotten his memories changed by Gerald Robotnik in an attempt to enact his plan to destroy the world before remembering his promise to Maria Robotnik that he would protect the world from danger. As an antihero, Shadow often has good intentions but will do whatever it takes to accomplish his goals, putting him at odds with series protagonist Sonic the Hedgehog. Shadow shares many attributes with Sonic and controls similarly in games, but is distinguished by his use of vehicles and firearms.

The idea for Shadow originated during the development of the original *Sonic Adventure*, with Iizuka and Maekawa ensuring he would be a subtle, "cool" character players could care about. Although Shadow is one of the series' most popular characters and was named one of the greatest video game characters by *Guinness World Records* in 2011, he has proven divisive among video game journalists. Some have praised his role in *Sonic Adventure 2* and his levels' preservation of the *Sonic* theme, but others have criticized his dark and brooding characterization, particularly in later games. Despite the character's namesake video game selling well, it received generally unfavorable reviews.

Luffy made his debut as a young boy who acquires the properties of rubber after accidentally eating one of the Devil Fruits that belonged to "Red Hair" Shanks.

Monkey D. Luffy is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, and dreamt of being a pirate since childhood from the influence of his idol and mentor Red-Haired Shanks. At the age of 17, Luffy sets sail from the East Blue Sea to the Grand Line in search of the legendary treasure, One Piece, to succeed Gol D. Roger as "King of the Pirates".

He fights multiple antagonists, and aids and befriends the inhabitants of several islands on his journey. Usually cheerful, he becomes serious and even aggressive when he fights. Luffy uses his rubber body to concentrate his power, executing a range of attacks. In his signature attack, the Gum-Gum Pistol, he slingshots punches at opponents from a distance. Luffy also grows stronger over the course of the story by transforming his body through different "Gears;" this is reflected in his bounty, which is used to measure the threat he poses to the World Government. He is the grandson of Monkey D. Garp, who is a vice-admiral of the Navy; the son of Monkey D. Dragon, who is the leader of the Revolutionary Army; and sworn brother of Portgas D. Ace and Sabo.

Luffy appears in most of the episodes, films, television specials, and OVAs of the manga's anime adaptations and several of the franchise's video games. He is the only character in *One Piece* who appears in every story arc of the series.

* They both have an older relative they were separated from at birth, but meet up again in the new group they join (Junko Enoshima And Levi Ackerman).

* Both are widely known by their nicknames (Jack and Afro, respectively) while their real names remain unknown.
* Both also have a tendency to be loners, with their main ally being a loud and boisterous foil to their quiet, stoic personalities (the Scotsman and Ninja Ninja, respectively).
* Both have survived massive amounts of pain and have struggled with their mental stability due to a traumatic event in their life (Jack lost his sword and aimlessly wandering in a time loop for decades caused him to spiral into insanity and begin having hallucinations about his father, while Afro witnessed his father's death transformed him into a cold-blooded killer who copes with the trauma of losing his father with Ninja Ninja, who is a figment of his imagination).
* Both also eventually got their revenge and achieved their goals in later adaptations (Samurai Jack was cancelled before receiving a revival to finish the show, whilst Justice was already dead when Afro found him in the manga, but he was alive and got killed by Afro in the anime adaptation).
* Both have also been voiced by Phil LaMarr (LaMarr voiced a teenage Afro Samurai) and have had their shows aired on Toonami and Adult Swim.
Katsuki Bakugo Vs Raphael

#### (My Hero Academia Vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

* Hot headed comic originating teenage crime fighting heroes apart of larger groups of heroes (The Turtles and U.A.) whose main powers come from mutations in their body (Raphael being a mutant turtle and Bakugo’s quirk being a genetical mutation), facing a wide variety villains who also typically get their powers through genetic mutations (Villains from TMNT usually are mutated by an ooze of some kind, and U.A. Villains using their quirks in combat).
* Of the bunch, they are typically the deuteragonist of the series with inferiority complexes toward the main character (Leo and Deku), due to their relationship while growing up in their childhoods, which are the primary thing that fuels their anger.
* They and their rival figure were trained in combat by a formerly ordinary person before they were given a mutation to some kind (Splinter mutating into a rat, or becoming a mutant rat depending on the story and All-Might being given One-For-All) who had a past relationship to the primary antagonist (Splinter and Shredder’s varying history depending on the story and All-Might and All-For-One’s legacy).
* The two share familial issues, stemming from both their blood family (Raphael’s brothers and Bakugo’s mom) and non-blood family (Splinter and Deku), as well as their brother figure(s) (Raphael’s brothers and Deku) and parental figures (Splinter and Bakugo’s mom).
* Despite their hot headed and impulsive personalities, they care deeply for their friends and family, but constantly refuse to admit it, instead giving empty threats that they never end up fulfilling.
* The two are arrogant, at times to a fault, but are brilliant within the heat of battle, showing strategy and skill not many would expect from them.
* Finally, despite being seemingly one note hotheads, the two’s characters are far more in depth than at first glance, with both going through arcs where they learn to slowly overcome their inferior complexes (Raphael accepting his role on the team and Bakugo forgiving Deku and becoming generally less of an asshole)
Shredder Vs Silver Samurai

#### (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vs Marvel Comics)

* They are both Japanese villains who are modern versions of types of historical Japanese warriors (ninja and samurai, respectively) who were historical enemies.
* Both are skilled in martial arts and don similar-looking silver armours. Both also held jealous hatred against their main rivals (Hamato Yoshi and Wolverine, respectively), have mutants as their main enemies (the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Wolverine, respectively) and had antagonized their own siblings in the past.
* Ironically, many aspects of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were based off of Daredevil, and Silver Samurai debuted in a Daredevil comic, though Shredder himself is not confirmed to have taken any inspiration from Silver Samurai.
