Ooooooh I'm back with another serious video! Please show some love to my wonderful actors, they cooked with these lines: CashlinSnow - Maria cashlinsnow.com/ SimitarchVOs - Shadow / @simitarchvos / simitarchvos
Every time Shadow shows his softer side is when he recollects his memories with Maria and how happy he used to be when he was with her and that now that she’s gone, he’s changed drastically. I hope in Sonic movie 3 when we see his early memories of his time on the ARK and with Maria, he used to be like Sonic, very carefree, happy, and acting like a kid. But after Maria’s death, he’s now the stoic, serious, and revenge-fueled hedgehog we see during the movie because of his promise to Maria because she meant that much to him he was willing to destroy the planet they both longed to visit someday, only to cause Shadow nothing but pain
Good lord, the characterization of both characters through the voice acting and animations is insane Seeing Shadow try to stay stoic, but his voice betraying him as he speaks to Maria is... heartwrenching and telling. Not to mention the few moments and time at the end where you animate him to reveal his hidden emotions through more than voice. Maria also did an insane job, I wasn't expecting it, but the animation and voice work for her was really good! Pixelrush: you, CashlinSnow, and SImitarchVOs freakin' COOKED on this video. I love these serious, character-driven animations you make - and I think I speak for a lot of your viewers when I say that
This is so heart wrenching, man. I know Shadow needs closure for what happened to Maria but even this is painful to him. You can see all the conflict he's going through visually.
This was so touching. Really harkens back to the days when Shadow had more to his character than just being a grumpy edgelord. It would be nice for him to have this kind of closure with Maria.
Shadow's story brings one theme to the Sonic franchise that I never understood before losing someone close to me: ... ...that you always think them. No matter what or why, they stay with you even when life goes on. People may get tired of you dealing with it - hell, YOU get tired without trying to - but still, you rather be tired of them haunting you than the possibility of never knowing them. I'm glad I knew someone like that, and Shadow reminds me I'm not alone is missing someone.
This reminds me very much of when Rocket reunited with Lyla in Guardians Vol 3 after her heartbreaking death. Actually come to think about it, both Shadow & Rocket's backstories are very similar to each other.
Two friends Alone in space Dreams of hope A better place One was fragile Her illness a piercing arrow The other was deemed Humanity’s shadow But one’s life was taken By envy’s wrath The other, enraged Walked a blood-soaked path Don’t mind me, I just felt like I needed to put this here 😅
That broke my heart. I never thought I could feel this happy and this distraught at the same time, yet here we are. I don’t know who I feel more bad for, the innocent child who died before she could do the one thing she always wanted and was forced to leave behind the person she loved most or the immortal creature who lost the person he loved and will now wander the earth, probably forever, without her by his side.
This is why bringing back Shadow after Sonic Adventure 2 was a mistake, because it diminished the emotional impact of him fulfilling Maria's dying wish to save Earth at the cost of his own life and then reuniting with Maria in Heaven.
if not for bringing him back we would have never gotten the evolution of his character seen from heroes through 06 though, and shadow generations wouldn't be possible
@@hyrulemobian: "if not for bringing him back we would have never gotten the evolution of his character" What so-called 'evolution' are you talking about? Shadow's story was already perfect and complete by the end of Sonic Adventure 2, bringing him back to life after Sonic Adventure 2 was nothing more than a soulless cash-grab and always will be, in my opinion.
@@Rishi123456789 the evolution of his character through being able to move on from his past and discover that he need not be bound by anything but his own desire to live. his character arc was complete yes i never argued that, all i'm saying is without his revival we wouldn't have gotten his expansion as a character. shadow has had great moments in the games following sa2 (the "i'll fight like i always have" scene, confronting the gun commander peacefully in shadow 05, "time to put my past behind me" scene) and they simply wouldn't have been possible if he stayed dead. it may have been a cash grab but it doesn't feel right to call it soulless when undeniable care was put into expanding his lore
This better be a dream. Cuz Shadow doesn't go to that Space Colony Ark anymore after what happened 50 years ago.And Maria's still dead. The moment of the Sonic Adventure 2 story is tear breaking to other people. But luckily,we still have the Fearless Year of Shadow coming.
Oh my god This is warming my heart!!!! Comic dubs are one thing, but this animation of these two makes the experience of watching them so much better! this made me tear up
(Standing ovation)👏 That was amazing! Prefect! Everything! The voice acting, the story, love this! I would have loved to see this in the shadow the hedgehog game. Hell, I would have loved to see this in the new movie! Awesome job!
La calidad de la animación es increíble, ojalá el inicio de shadow generations empiece recibiendo una invitación para ir al cumpleaños de Sonic indeciso al saber si ir o no ir shadow decide ir hacia donde esta la fiesta pero el time eater hace de las suyas borrando el universo siendo Sonic y shadow los únicos sobrevivientes solo que a diferencia de Sonic shadow aparece en el ark y hay lo que ocurre en tu vídeo
This is so wholesome if this happens in sonic and shadow generations I’m going to cry because shadow loved and cared about Maria she was like a sister to him 😔🖤🩵
If Shadow was on Sonic Frontiers, he would see the ghost of Maria or see Maria in Cyber Space version of the Ark. Shadow: This one… looks like my old home on the Ark. How come Cyberspaces creating locations I’ve been. Maria: So, you’re here. Shadow: Huh? Maria? Is that you? Maria: Hey, Shadow. It’s been a long time. Shadow: I thought you were dead. H-how did you get here? And what are you doing here? Maria: After I was dead, I became a ghost and I arrive at these islands, decided to live here. I thought you forgotten all about me. Shadow: I didn’t forget you.
this was so perfect! i always find myself making shadow overly emotional in my content and i felt like this was a really good reflection of his character and a realistic portrayal of his personality. great work ❤❤❤
Legit the best video I've seen since 2024 started.THANK YOU FOR BEING SO TALENTED AND KEEPING THIS CHANNEL ALIVE AND WELL FOR US VIEWERS WHO LOVE YOUR CONTENT AND THIS WAS A WHOLE CHERRY ON TOP FOR ME. GREAT WORK BRAH.❤😍😍
I've always had this mindset that Shadow deserved so much better, especially when Sonic X portrays his relationship with Maria better than even Sonic Adventure 2. You feel me? Also if CZcams is so backwards with it's security, we might as well take the leash off and start swearing every 4 sentences, have fun letting that sink in.
It sad that she died and she was a great character And I'm pretty positive that the 3 movie is going to make me cry But it nice to know that Maria is with shadow no matter what
That "I WILL"🗿🗿
😭
That was my favorite part😭😭😭😭
Ikr 😢
That Was As Big Of An Impact As Find Your Flame's Guitar Solo
And? 😐
Nice To See Shadow’s Soft Side….
I Know How Much He Misses Maria…
He really does he misses his sister I really love seeing shadows soft side I want to see it more
FR
May I ask why you capitalized every first letter of each word in your sentence? Legitimately just curious!
@@nataliedandy1096 some ppl do that as expression ig or how much they love/ understand the vid, and besides I love their relationship :)
@@nataliedandy1096 That’s Just How I Talk, LOL

I love seeing shadows soft side it shows that he really does care about people 😍🥰
God this is beautiful, this is the kind of closure shadow needs with maria.
I agree
0:04 - I mean... *This guy telling true facts*
P. S. Mom, I'm famous.
True
Is it bad that I'm mostly here for the quips on CZcams is all about?
No. No it's not
You're not the only one. The quips and the animation are nice.
"The following video is brought to you by... CZcams! Shattering your childhood one dick pick at a time!"
No, cause' they're hilarious.
Yes, 300 years In jail.

"Oh, you're awake? How about that?.. Whoa, easy there. Easy! You've been out cold for couple of days now."
"From where you're standing this must seem like a 4th chaos emerald run of bad luck"
You were trying to cross the border, right?
Shadow: Maria? Where… am I?
(Making a script for possible audiobook! 😆 Plz continue)
“Hey shadow what’s-“
“None of your f&@king business!!!”
Yeah
Sonic: hey shadow, where have you been
Shadow: none of your business
I clicked on this one knowing I would not be emotionally ready
Excellent work. Excellent animation.
Well, I'm gonna go cry now.
Beautiful and amazing animation & VA!!!!
I promised myself I wouldn't cry 😢
poor shadow
"Oh, you're awake... *You were trying to cross the border."*
- Maria
i love the detail of him shaking/shivering his fists at the end. i feel what hes feeling. 🙏
This was so touching. Really harkens back to the days when Shadow had more to his character than just being a grumpy edgelord. It would be nice for him to have this kind of closure with Maria.
I absolutely loved voicing in this. Thank you!

I'm glad I knew someone like that, and Shadow reminds me I'm not alone is missing someone.
This is so cool I love how Maria looks like a Kingdom Hearts character in this. Its a really nice design choice.
This reminds me very much of when Rocket reunited with Lyla in Guardians Vol 3 after her heartbreaking death.
Actually come to think about it, both Shadow & Rocket's backstories are very similar to each other.
I have a feeling this was inspired by the synopsis for the upcoming Sonic X Shadow Generations. Wonderful video.❤
wonder if their include a moment with Maria in Shadow's part now thinking about it
Shadow has been through so much, but it’s so heartwarming to know that he still sees Maria the way she always was, his beloved friend. 🖤
Damn, you make shadow really accurate
Press F to pay respects
F... Uck that hit harder that I thought it would
F
Well this was something and a nice closure for Shadow and Maria
I’ve even reacted to this video
Two friends
Alone in space
Dreams of hope
A better place
One was fragile
Her illness a piercing arrow
The other was deemed
Humanity’s shadow
But one’s life was taken
By envy’s wrath
The other, enraged
Walked a blood-soaked path
Don’t mind me, I just felt like I needed to put this here 😅
beautiful
amazing and feel doing this too so don't worry
It's beautiful. It basically sums up all the shadow backstory. Thank you.
Wow! That was awesome! Definitely screenshoting this!
OH MY STARS YOU'RE A WIZARD OF WORDS! this is beautiful 😭
I hated to see Shadow suffer about Maria, they want to go to earth together but Maria never get the chance to only Shadow if only she was still alive
I know I agree I don’t like seeing shadow suffer it breaks my heart if only Maria was able to go to earth with shadow
This is more character than Maria's ever gotten from canon.
Besides Expert Mode, anyway.
That broke my heart. I never thought I could feel this happy and this distraught at the same time, yet here we are. I don’t know who I feel more bad for, the innocent child who died before she could do the one thing she always wanted and was forced to leave behind the person she loved most or the immortal creature who lost the person he loved and will now wander the earth, probably forever, without her by his side.
If Shadow Generations has anything like this at all, I'll be happy.

It's enough to make a grown man cry
Specially when you know why and how she lost life 😢
This is the sweetest thing I've ever seen!😊💖

"You cut me real deep just now." - Dunkey
This is a beautiful reunion right here. 🌌
Beautiful and amazing video about Shadow and Maria are together again
Oh man that hits right in. I'm glad to see them reunited again.
Honestly, I'm almost ready to cry. The themes covered with SA2 and Shadow can really hit home.
I hope we get something like this in Sonic Movie 3
Yeah and for sonic and shadow generations
@@Starrmonster02 That would actually be pretty cool. Also, you’re everywhere lol
@@Silverthefuture468 you too lol
@@Silverthefuture468 you too lol😁
This is beautiful. It's nice to see shadow not grumpy but not weird either. Really good
(Standing ovation)👏 That was amazing! Prefect! Everything! The voice acting, the story, love this! I would have loved to see this in the shadow the hedgehog game. Hell, I would have loved to see this in the new movie! Awesome job!
This is so fucking beautiful how do you keep making astounding videos
Your animation is getting better! This was stunning, and that dialogue almost made me tear up, just beautiful!
Shadow in your animations makes me think about Archie's Shadow as personality. And is animated, this makes things even better.
Sonic comes in chuckling : ah yeah bring it on… looks like the party is getting started time to rock and roll.
I really hope they have a cutscene like this in Sonic X Shadow Generations.
Me too bro 😢
Same dude I want this as a cutscene for sonic and shadow generations
*THIS IS HOW YOU WRITE SHADOW* Sonic Team, take notes.
"From this moment on, I am moving on..."
I'm so happy that shadow gets to see her best friend again he should tell maria what he's been doing when she was dead
Poor Shadow. I hope he knows that Maria is very proud of him.
Amazing work!
Man, this was so good! I really wanted them to hug thoooo poor Shadow... But the voice acting was amazing!!
Same that would absolutely melt my heart if I saw shadow and Maria hug each other
I cannot wait to see Shadow and Maria in Sonic movie 3. I know there will be emotional moments like this in the film.
La calidad de la animación es increíble, ojalá el inicio de shadow generations empiece recibiendo una invitación para ir al cumpleaños de Sonic indeciso al saber si ir o no ir shadow decide ir hacia donde esta la fiesta pero el time eater hace de las suyas borrando el universo siendo Sonic y shadow los únicos sobrevivientes solo que a diferencia de Sonic shadow aparece en el ark y hay lo que ocurre en tu vídeo
I am happy for shadow he finally got reunited with Maria
I love to think this is what was going on in Shadow's mind after he fell to earth after defeating the Biolizard
This is so wholesome if this happens in sonic and shadow generations I’m going to cry because shadow loved and cared about Maria she was like a sister to him 😔🖤🩵
Excellent work Author!
I like Maria and Shadow!
You can watch this forever!
New trailer premiered just now too
The one from Cinemacon? There are various reasons to suggest that trailer is fake, in my opinion.
“You’ll Be In My Heart”🖤 ♥️💙🩵
Oh, right in Buu’s squishy, pink heart
This is so sweet 🥹❤️🫶😭
Man that’s deep. Would go so hard in the movie.
That was sweet
What a touching ending!The voices for Shadow and Maria in this were amazing!:)
Wow man Shadow's voice is so cold 🥶
If Shadow was on Sonic Frontiers, he would see the ghost of Maria or see Maria in Cyber Space version of the Ark.
Shadow: This one… looks like my old home on the Ark. How come Cyberspaces creating locations I’ve been.
Maria: So, you’re here.
Shadow: Huh? Maria? Is that you?
Maria: Hey, Shadow. It’s been a long time.
Shadow: I thought you were dead. H-how did you get here? And what are you doing here?
Maria: After I was dead, I became a ghost and I arrive at these islands, decided to live here. I thought you forgotten all about me.
Shadow: I didn’t forget you.
this was so perfect! i always find myself making shadow overly emotional in my content and i felt like this was a really good reflection of his character and a realistic portrayal of his personality. great work ❤❤❤
The year of shadow begins.
If sega doesn’t give us a scene like this in shadow generations, we riot
Legit the best video I've seen since 2024 started.THANK YOU FOR BEING SO TALENTED AND KEEPING THIS CHANNEL ALIVE AND WELL FOR US VIEWERS WHO LOVE YOUR CONTENT AND THIS WAS A WHOLE CHERRY ON TOP FOR ME. GREAT WORK BRAH.❤😍😍
OMG MY COMMENT WAS LIKED BY ONE OF MY FAVORITE YTBERS THAT HAS MORE THAN 300K FOLLOWERS AND ARMY SOLDIERS RIGHT BY HIS SIDE IN BATTLE😌😭😱🥳🥳
I've always had this mindset that Shadow deserved so much better, especially when Sonic X portrays his relationship with Maria better than even Sonic Adventure 2. You feel me?
Also if CZcams is so backwards with it's security, we might as well take the leash off and start swearing every 4 sentences, have fun letting that sink in.
That was freaking wholesome. Love these moments between Shadow and Maria.😊
This... This is how my interactions seem to go with her. In my dreams. Alone. I miss you.
It sad that she died and she was a great character
And I'm pretty positive that the 3 movie is going to make me cry
But it nice to know that Maria is with shadow no matter what
Same here I know sonic movie is gonna make me cry also and Maria will always be with shadow always
Wow... absolutely incredible. 🖤❤
The silent realization that he died momentarily speaks louder then anything I've seen before.
This is so sad but also cute😢 Shadow misses Maria so much 😭
I feel like if this were to REALLY happen to Shadow he might turn over a new leaf! Who knows maybe something like this could happen in the next movie?
This was beautiful and so emotional🥺
Shadow sheds a tear when he remembers maria in sa2 and he looks emotionless here, i don't think it's consistent, but awesome render man
That was very emotional! Just a brief moment, to help give Shadow some peace. It still hurts, but it gives reassurance. Here’s to your year, Shadow! 🥹
I love this, Shadow will never forget her ❤️
This is amazing!
I SCENE LIKE THIS NEED TO BE AT THE END OF SONIC MOVIE 3 GOD ITS SAD AND BEAUTIFUL AT THE SAME TIME
I want to hug him so much😢😭poor shadow😢😭😭.this video made me cry 😢😭 thank pixelrush to make this video the voice, acting was so good.
What a beautiful reunion.
OMG I’m crying my eyes out!!!!
Beautiful animated content; can’t wait what other great surprises you have store for us viewers
I'm proud of Shadow too. I'm very happy with it.
10/10 That, last scene was amazing.
Awww great Job! 😊
@Pixelrush can you make more of Sonic and Sally? I love those Ships!
Dude, your gonna make me cry 😢. It was beautiful!!🥹
My heart...💙💙💙
Sonic 3 is going to be so award worthy if they adapt it right.
“Maria. 💥”
Shadow needs a hug 😢
