* Was there a moment where we got a clear indication of Knuckles finding out Sonic is alive?? Because it seems rather sudden, but it could be I just wasn't paying full attention. If there is no explanation though... seriously, why wouldn't you explain that??

** Chances are Eggman offed him, partially [[YouHaveFailedMe due to his failure]] and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness so he could take the Phantom Ruby]]. In the game's first cutscene, we see a diagram on one of Eggman's monitors that implies Infinite's very body is incorporated into the Phantom Ruby, not the other way around - like a GenieInABottle - meaning that in order to use the Ruby, Eggman had to yoink it back.

*** The ''Sonic Encyclospeedia'' states that Infinite was "consumed" by the Phantom Ruby after his final defeat. With the Phantom Ruby now missing, it seems Infinite is too.

** [[https://youtu.be/5h0-rpCPgt0 Unused dialogue]] in the DLC's files makes it sound like the Jackal Squad caught Shadow off-guard ("Unbelievable... time to show them ultimate power!"), forcing him to go all-out and kill them.

*** Except Metal Sonic already appeared both in ''Videogame/SonicRivals'' 2 and ''Videogame/SonicFreeRiders'', and remember Rivals is Silver's canon introduction, so no, he is not with GUN.


Added DiffLines:

** According to the IDW comics, which can be taken as WordOfSaintPaul in this matter, the real Metal was being upgraded but by the time this was done, the war was already over.


Added DiffLines:

** Is possible that, as the world's most dangerous army, Eggman took them down inmediately after Sonic for a strategic measure. It's fanon sure, but is something.


Added DiffLines:

*** Double huh too. Your claim makes absolute no sense, especially as Amy has nothing going on for her, you're confusing the games continuity with the Archie comics.


Added DiffLines:

*** Alternative, Infinite makes a big deal about hating his face after being defeated, and being reborn into what he is now thanks to the Phantom Ruby. The game just doesn't show his face to go with the narrative, as the cutscene he appears in is clearly told in first person.


Added DiffLines:

** Presumably he was fighting Infinite illusions for a good while, considering the jackal has a personal score with him. Considering how the Jackal Squad was "destroyed" by him, it would be in Eggman's best interest to take care of Shadow during the six months, but [[TheAce Shadow was too much for the doctor to imprison]].

Added DiffLines:

* Why didn't the real Shadow step in to help the resistance after Sonic was presumably killed? He's probably one of the few people who can match Sonic in speed and strength, so he would've been valuable to taking back the world from Dr. Eggman.

Added DiffLines:

** Alternatively, the Webcomic is showing more of the characters from a semi-omniscient angle, rather than a character. So to the Avatar, Infinite is just this...horrifying masked killer, and to Shadow, Infinite is barely worth recalling, so we don't get shown his face.

*** It's possible that Iizuka meant worlds as in separate societies, rather than parallel worlds. Yuji Naka was asked relatively recently if Christmas Island (Sonic's birth place) was located on another planet, and he answered that no, it's on Earth, and is even a real life location. He was also asked about the introduction of humans in Sonic Adventure (the same question that prompted Iizuka to give the infamous answer about separate worlds), and his answer was that Sonic originally fought Eggman in places like Christmas Island, before the action moving to places like Station Square, which was where he met them. No mention of parallel worlds.[[http://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=33744]]

** It was stated in Sonic Forces that despite being illusions, they're as real as anything else for the characters in the Sonic universe. About the only thing that makes them "illusions" is that they're created out of thin air, they're not alive, and they'll banish if the Phantom Ruby loses its power source.

**** While that would make far more sense, sadly no. Two dimensions, one species each. According to Iizuka, this has been canon since the Adventure games, they just never touched on it. This is also why Sonic X used it as its setup.

*** Maybe Iizuka was referring to the fact that there's now an alternate dimension based on the classic era, rather than there being two worlds within the same dimension? Classic dimension would be the "anthro world", while modern dimension would be the "human world".

** In the human world. Yeah, according to Iizuka, there are two worlds; one for humans and one for anthros. Sonic and Co can jump back and forth whenever they feel like it. Somehow. No, it doesn't make sense. Yes, it does just raise further questions.
