Commentary
for August 24, 2022:
Where is the world
is Shadow Sandiego?
Well, observant readers may have an inkling, but I’m not just going
to tell, am I? You’ll find out soon enough, after all. Well, I say
that, but it might be a little longer than you hope. I’ll come back
to that tomorrow.
Right now I will just say that Shadow’s powers and relationship with
the Chaos Emeralds, like a lot of Sonic lore, is very ill defined in
official fiction. But I’ve always imagined Shadow has a very
particular connection to the Chaos Emeralds, much more so than
Sonic. Chaos Control, Chaos Spear, Chaos Blast, these are all things
Shadow can do, and even though Sonic and Silver have occasionally
been shown using Chaos Control, that’s only ever really in special
circumstances. As a standard action, Chaos Control and other Chaos
powers very much belong to Shadow. And this is why I figure he has
the relationship with the Chaos Emeralds he does.
But what about the Master Emerald? Is it just a big Chaos Emerald?
Official word from Sega these days is no, but in licensed fiction of
days gone by, it very much was. In the classic comics from both
sides of the Atlantic, the Master Emerald was just a big Chaos
Emerald; in the Fleetway series it was one of the seven, whereas the
Archie series eventually cleaved a little closer to the game
depiction and presented it as a separate gem, but still a Chaos
Emerald of sorts. Now, I’ve written up my own lore about the Chaos
Emeralds and the Master Emerald, so I know what’s what (in this
setting anyway), and we’ve explored a little bit of that already in
season 1. Here we are picking up that narrative thread again and
before the end of season 3, you might learn a little bit more. |
