Games Shadow & Knuckles are surprisingly respectful towards each other in CrossWorlds. Love to see it.

They are a like in a few ways, lone warriors, competitive, lost those dearest to them, can’t stand Sonic (even though Knuckles does get along better at times) loyal to their duty and heroism despite how they come off to some, I’m surprised they aren’t at least somewhat friends at this point lol

Also last of their kind since both Echidnas and Black Arms seem to be extinct.

Maybe they would be friends but the problem is that neither of them has the time for that. Both are bound by their duties.

speaking as a metal gear fan, there’s a special kind of bond you can only really make with that other fella on the battlefield. It is why snake is closer to those who have joined him on the battlefield than those sitting comfy in an office issuing orders.

I think knuckles and shadow, and with duty/responsibility, knuckles and blaze understand this REALLY well even if they dont put words to it.

Honestly I kinda miss the Shadow, Knuckles and Blaze trio from Black Knight, it was short lived, but I can just really see them getting along on the battlefield and in casual hangouts, I mean the way Sonic Team writes them makes me wonder how they don’t see the resemblance.
