Does Shadow Eat?

[Quacker Duk]

Q: What does Shadow Eat?
A: Rouge.
_____________

Honestly, I really doubt he needs to eat. God nows, we've seen Sonic chowing on Chili-dogs, Eggman eating sandwiches, Cream having Tea, Amy buying groceries, and Jet the Hawk eating Humble Pie. We actually saw Shadow wake up from a fifty-year nap, and never once did he say "Mind if I Chaos Spear myself a Breakfast Burrito or something."

Jet the Hawk eating Humble Pie.

Please show me this glorious scene.

I am going to kick all of your asses.

Ha, hah, hah.

I was basically referring to when Sonic finally beats to the punch in Babylon.

In general though, Jet has maintained his dignity through the series. Unlike Metal Sonic, who may or may not be the same metal in most of the games, and goes from being a sentient super killing machine (Heroes) to a glorified Walkie-Talkie (Rivals 2). Heck, even Knuckles, goes from proud, ancient Guardian to essentially being Sonic's idiot neighbor.

So true, so true.



If Shadow can drink, he can obviously eat...

Hey Ray, what episode is the picture from? I've seen every episode of Sonic X but I cannot recall seeing that scene?

Also guys... what color do you think Shadow's blood is? Thought it was green because the Black Arms had green blood, but it could be red... any thoughts?

[tailsdollfan2]

I don't really know. ^^'

His blood? Its only obvious. HE HAS NONE. :'D -brick'd-

[Weirdo94]

Believe it or not, I've actually put quite a bit of thought into this.

To start off with something I love saying...Ray, you're wrong!...He had a small donation of Black Doom's blood. Now, We can't be for certain if that has any say on his blood color. We don't even know if Black Doom bleeds the same blood everyone else does. Not to mention it was only a small vial of that blood. It could be that the bit of Doomie blood could have changed the rest of the blood inside Angsty's body to the Black Doom type (Yes, it's possible...I'm living proof of it)

In the end, however, I think that Shads just has normal old red blood. Where do I get this answer from? Simple...it's his eyes. You see, red eyes aren't caused by pigment, but the lack thereof. Instead you see the blood flowing inside the eyeball that gives it that shade of red.

WHIIILE I'M AT IT...I'D LIKE TO BRING A LIL DISCUSSION ABOUT JET INTO VIEW AS WELL (What a surprise, I want to talk about Jet...)

See, I've been wondering about his blood as well...the Babylons are aliens as well, and the two members of the group who even have colored pupils (Storm just has tiny squinty eyes) have blue coloration. Now, blue's a common color for alien blood, isn't it? What do you think this makes the chances of them birdies (Hell, possibly even Bean, too) of having freaky blue blood?

(Yeah, I know...a little off topic...but damnit now's a good time to bring it up)

[Master Silver]

Ray, you're wrong!

[Quacker Duk]

Of course Shadow has red blood -- ALL OVER HIS GODDAMN FIST!

Seriously though, interesting supposition on Shadow (and the Rogues), Wierdo.

I'd have to say Shadow likely has red blood. I have no hard proof, but I like to imagine that's the case. Yes, the Black Arms have green blood, though that was a last minute decision on the dev team's part, when they didn't want to get stuck with a mature rating.

Does anyone know if ol' uncle Shadow bled at all during Sonic X Season 3? If I recall, he did quite a bit of messing around and kicking ass that season.

Here's my really flawed theory for why Shadow would have red blood:

It was inferred that Dr. Gerald wanted to use Shadow and the ULF project to find a cure for Maria's NAIDS. That means that Shadow likely had a kind of Blood that was analogous to Maria's. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't have some of Maria's blood in him, maybe?

Here's my less flawed theory:

The Bio-Lizard was a Shadow prototype, right? He had red blisters that popped when he tried yanking the ARK into the atmosphere. This isn't proof in of itself, but it suggests the Bio-lizard has crimson ichor. The same would likely be true of Shadow.

As far as the Rogues go, that is a good question. Of course, you assume that all of the Babylonians have pure blood. It's been a damn long time since the left the hanging gardens, let alone the years before that when they arrived on the planet. They have likely interbred with terrestrials over the years. Heck, Jet himself seems to infer that his ancestors WERE GENIES, after the end of the first game. That means that, as far as he is concerned, the Rogues are descended form twelve-foot high mystics with flying carpets. Thus, I'm not sure the blue eyes/blood angle hold too much water.

Still, it holds about as much water as my Shadow has red blood theory.

[madchaosdragon]

Weirdo, your explanation about the eye color thing makes sooo much sense! I learned something new today! *puts a star on the board*

I'd like to believe Shadow has red blood. There was a Sonic X episode where Shadow was trying to kill off Cosmo for being a (unwilling) Meterax spy. Tails, I think, dealt Shadow a blow across his cheek. The bruise was red.

If Shadow ever has another game, maybe the Rogues may end up getting some light shined on their puzzling situation of ancestry. I only say this because Shadow's game was the only game that was more mature than the rest and could get away with such things. Perfect windows of opportunity there.

Personally though, I think the genie thing was a self-defense or security system that the Rogues ancestors made to keep people away from the Arks of Cosmos. Lucky for them, the only thing they found was the Magic Carpet gear. You could maybe say it was decoy to hide the real prize. But if the real prize is getting sucked in a black hole, I'd rather take the participation prize. But then again, this is the Sonic Universe; it's all or nothin'!

If I recall, he did quite a bit of messing around and kicking ass that season.

Oh yes... yes, he did; especially when he and Sonic duked it out in their super forms near the end of the season (seriously, they were tearing the place up more than the ARK). But not as much as the season that he had his debut in. Ownage with every Shadow-fied scene.

I think he did, I should start watching the japanese episodes again to find out... ;p

I got that feeling too, however I believe Jet said something along the lines of "I can't believe our ancestors were genies." It would be kind of ridiculous, mind you, but then again, in the next game he said something along the lines of "I can't believe our ancestors were aliens," so it's not all that silly. The Babylonians were a lot of things.

Also, "Catch Me If You Can" had a line "Bread from a Genie with Wings of Chrome."

[Weirdo94]

I don't know about the first line with the genies and all, but I'm sure you're (Insert Lex Luthor here) about the surprise on the sequel's end end...It was Tails who was surprised by the "OMFG ALIENS!" I'm sure the Babylons at least knew that much about their own heritage, especially with the shooting star tradition and the fact that they weeeere kind of searching for a space and time warping engine to travel through space.

Also, five bucks says them birdies inbreed. You want proof? His name is Storm.
