And "I no longer need it" sounds like admitting to that. What I'm about to say is basically fan theory, but Chaos dang it, it makes too much sense. This game takes place after SA2, Heroes, and Shadow, only three games when Shadow is always carrying Chaos Emerald when using his powers. Then he challenges him to the duel.Įmerl: You sure about that? I don't want to whine about how you didn't have your "Chaos Emerald"
Until the end of his storyline, where Shadow learns more about Maria's death ("bring hope to humanity" and stuff) and gives up his gem to Emerl. Throughout the game, Shadow uses plenty of Chaos abilities and has Chas Emerald. You might have noticed I missed one game where Shadow plays a key role. In this case, we must abandon any logic and just accept that Shadow doesn't need emeralds because Sega said so.Ģ "There must be some logical explanation in the lore"īut if we insist on looking at Sonic as somewhat consistent (a task that is doomed, yet I think most of us prefers to think in that way) there is an answer.
There are two attitudes you can pick.ġ "Sega just doesn't care about continuity. But then comes Sonic 06, Chronicles, Rivals 1&2, games where clearly Shadow can do some tricks with no emeralds (also Archie Sonic). Shadow 2005 also seems to confirm that theory: no powers before he gets first Emerald. In Heroes he has one emerald for a whole game. Since ARK was made by Gerald it is possible it channel chaos energy in a way Shadow can to it). (Sonic has fake one next to him, while six emeralds are directly connected to the station they run on. Okay, he doesn't have one during the final fight with Sonic, but he's near them, maybe that's enough. If you look at the very first game the answer seems to be yes, he needs Emeralds to Chaos Control. But I didn't want to go off-topic, so I'm making this one.ĭoes Shadow need Chaos Emerald to use his special powers? I see few people argue on that topic and I wanted to throw my few cents.
