"I never knew her, but I still take that personally."

I ACTUALLY LOVE THAT.

(Edit)
Why is it that everytime I comment something, some sort of argument or debate happens in the replies?

[BonitoJoe]

"I never knew her, but I still take that personally."

I can actually feel the raw sadness in his voice. Even Eggman, as evil as he is, acknowledged what happened to Maria was messed up. I love the range Mike Pollock gives Eggman.

[Zenithal]

I love that Eggman is still thinking about manipulating Shadow even after SA2, Heroes, & Shadow ‘05. The fact that he takes Maria’s death to heart is a nice way of humanizing him and a nice way to build off his Egg Memos from Frontiers.

“He is..HE IS” contrast in perspective to “I Am” nice touch

[michaelgbandi]

The marketing for this game is insane, I'm all the more hyped for Sonic x Shadow Generations.

[Chrissaarts]

"I never know her but I still take that personally." Interesting....This, combined with the audio logs from Frontiers paints a pretty interesting picture of his thoughts on her. Conflicted feelings perhaps?

2:05 "Shadow only wanted to live in peace alongside his only friend, my cousin Maria"

Bro got his priorities straight

[GalarianGuy]

Hearing Eggman go from "goofy recap" to letting his emotions get the better of him is really cool

[cleverusername]

I did *not* have “Eggman undergoing a near-total mental breakdown over Shadow’s power” on my bingo sheet for this video

[Zenko]

I love how Eggman admits that he never knew maria, but he still takes it personally that she was "silenced" as he calls it, rlly shows that he has a heart too.

[arthurbend]

The fact that they are doing all this to make people know more about who Shadow is, even before the Sonic 3 trailer, is brilliant.

[ZechOfTheWest]

"I never knew her, but i still took that personally..."
Eggman caring about his family so much he cares even about the ones he never met. 😭

[TheDigiDog]

Damn never seen Eggman both praising and loathing Shadow at the same time.

[BoriquaBoY]

I’m so happy Shadow is being humanized here. He just wanted to live in peace. He’s not just an edge lord. Dude has some serious trauma and became who he is because he lost someone he loved. At the deep root of his character should be someone that cares deeply for others, so much so he literally threatened the world for them, and now protects it for them.

[PK-Radio]

I like how Eggman starts to get more serious when going into detail about Shadow’s past

[KJR]

"I never knew her, but I still take that personally" That hit my heart hard 😭

[chaoticcranium]

0:45 The Doc's smugly satisfied is simply sublime!

[MrUltimaSora]

I’m glad they officially made it known Eggman does care that G.U.N off’d his family.

[Bornagainvillain]

“I never knew her, but I take that personally.”

Eggman has been treated so well in the last few years.
