Hello! This is Tomoko Hayane!
The coolness is increasing day by day, and it’s becoming the season to enjoy long autumn nights. How are you spending your evenings? As for me, I recently spent one watching “Sonic × Shadow Generations: Prologue to Darkness Episode 1 – Shadow and Maria.“
(*This is a prologue animation that connects to the new game Sonic × Shadow Generations, which will be released on the 25th of this month.)
Just from the title, my heart was already tightening, and in reality, my emotions were constantly stirred. I’m looking forward to watching Episode 2, which was released today.
The wallpaper illustration I’m introducing today also features a dark hero who is expanding his role even further.
Yes, the character featured in this month’s wallpaper illustration is…
Shadow, the “Ultimate Lifeform!”
You can feel his resolve and the strong will he holds within in this image! What could he be gazing at so intensely with those sharp eyes…?
Shadow, the lone black hedgehog, is Sonic’s equal rival, engaging in battles with speed and strength that match Sonic’s perfectly.
Created by Professor Gerald as the “Ultimate Lifeform,” he’s been buffeted by fate, carrying the tragic past he shares with Maria, yet forging his own path and continuing to fight.
Shadow’s appeal isn’t just his overwhelming combat prowess, but also the pain and conviction that reside in his heart…!
In those crimson eyes, we might see the truth Shadow seeks, or the precious person he longs to protect. When that event happened 50 years ago on the Space Colony ARK, did Maria see that same determined expression on his face when she called for help?
This illustration, which seems to encapsulate Shadow’s deep emotions, stirs my heart once again!
In Sonic × Shadow Generations, it’s said we’ll delve even deeper into Shadow’s past and his feelings…! Talking about Shadow like this has made me even more eager to play the game!
What emotions did this Shadow illustration evoke for you? Feel free to share your thoughts on X (formerly Twitter) with the hashtag #ソニかつ♪
Well then, see you in next month’s wallpaper showcase!
