But the question remains: Will Shadow the Hedgehog (Keanu Reeves) return?

What’s Emerl and Shadow’s History in the Sonic Franchise?

Emerl first appeared in theSonic Battlegame, and plays a major role in its plot.

He was originally a Gizoid,a mechanical warrior created by an ancient civilization 4000 years ago.

This backfired as Emerl wiped out his creators and traveled the universe, eventually encountering Dr. Gerald Robotnik.

Eventually,Emerl would self-destruct to save the Earth.

Where Else Has Emerl Appeared in the Sonic Franchise?

(Because would it really be an anime if there wasn’t a tournament storyline?)

What year is it?

Is the Rock president?”

It was only fitting that Emerl showed up as well.

There’s another solution to that:give Shadow his own series.

Introducing Emerl could definitely build upon that promise.
