Dark Beginnings is meant to be a tie in to Sonic x Shadow Generations, which is further in the timeline after Shadow the Hedgehog (the game). Not to mention that Black Doom is alive once more and Shadow mentions in in game dialogue that he thought he died, so it's pretty concrete that the Shadow we see is the real deal.I understand this might be a bit redundant, are we certain Shadow the Hedgehog: Dark Beginnings is based on the Shadow the Hedgehog game, &/or that the protagonist is the real Shadow, though?
Shadow the Hedgehog (the game) reveals that Professor Gerald couldn't fully complete Shadow until he came into contact with Black Doom and made a deal where Gerald gives Black Doom the Chaos Emerald's and, in exchange, Black Doom finishes Shadow by giving him Black Arms DNA. While not explicitly stated yet, since I'm sure the next episode will give us insight into Shadow's hallucinations, my current theory is that Black Doom is using Shadow's Black Arms DNA to psychologically toy with him with intense hallucinations of his past.But why would a genuine ultimate lifeform who isn't an android get technology-like video glitches in his visions from a biological space alien?
