Alright I got a good question for you all now that Shake's done with his questioning: If Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is able to redeem Shadow's character and causes SEGA to revert Shadow's character back to his 06 and before days, what could be a in universe reason to explain Shadow going back to that?
I've been sleeping on this one idea of mine for awhile, mostly because it was paradoxid out of existence, but....given SEGA has slowly but surely been more willing to acknowledge 06 in any capacity, my idea was that the events of 06 being retconned rewrote bits of Shadow's mind as a result of it. I know it sounds stupid and it is, but given Shadow had a significant role in the game's plot and had moments which reinforced his desire to move on from his past, I figured those things not happening caused parts of the edgehog to regress.
