One of the few actually good things to come out of '06, not quite on the level of Solaris Phase 2 but a shame they didn't do more with him nonetheless.
Thoughts?
Shadow wouldn’t have been able to defeat Iblis anyway so they decided to shift negative press of them being unable to defeat it to Shadow being responsible for causing it.
It could be something like Mephiles unleashed Iblis but after it was too powerful for him to rejoin with and become Solaris, he does this in his disguised form where he looks like Shadow which considering Mephiles when he travels back in time with Silver and Blaze looks like Shadow. So imagine seeing something that looks exactly like Shadow unleashing the power of Iblis before humanity. There's not much you can really do if the people are demanding he be locked up. Followed by that we have the fact that Shadow is more than willing to fight against humanity if they turn on him so it's something like
>Mephiles releases Iblis but can't fuse with him
>Iblis goes on a rampage
>The people blame Shadow and demand his head
>GUN and the rest of the world's armies all go after him
>Shadow fights against the forces since they now see him as an enemy.
>He get's shame cubed.
This is one of those games that actually needs a remaster with bug fixes. Also remove that weird furry relationship. Game would be pretty good.
