short comic based on the official Sonic & Shadow Wallpaper Cover Story, translated by @acquascans!

Shadow’s tragic past – rife with conflict and loss – haunts his thoughts. But these nightmares come to him while wide awake! Could some sinister force be beckoning to him through his memories?

💥Movie Shadow!!💥

Gosh he's so cool!!!! Drawing his new shoes was so frustrating, but grahhhh I'm so happy with how it came out!!

[Here's the rough sketch!!]

Mami's fighting style includes showing off. Big guns, pretending to be caught just to go "Ha, as if I would let that happen", never dropping the smirk, taking her time with her transformation and with killing the witches to seem unbothered.

Because she has to set an example for other magical girls. Because she needs to look confident and unbothered and make it seem easy if she wants to attract juniors.

Kyoko's fighting style includes energetic movements, never taking time to breathe, insulting the opponent sometimes, almost looking like she's having fun.

Because she's constanly trying to convince herself that her ruthlessness is the way to go. That she's fine with her "Live for yourself only" mindset.

Sayaka's fighting style is the closest one to something noble. Throwing all of herself in the fight, because she'll heal anyways. No attempts at being flashy or having fun, because that's not what it means to be a magical girl. Very painful and exhausting for herself, but effective for killing witches and finishing battles quickly without anyone having to get hurt.

Because she desperately wants to be a hero, and she thinks that means following this strict moral code in which she's constanly sacrificing herself.

and i'm going to.

ngl i honestly don’t think that homura was planning to genuinely kill sayaka in ep. 8.

i mean, if u just take the scene of face value, it obviously seems that way: homura declares that she doesn’t care abt sayaka or if she lives or dies (which is 100% a lie, she may not like sayaka very much but she def cares abt her just like she does the other girls), and then raises her soul gem to her face in a threatening manner before kyoko shows up.

but that’s exactly it: homura puts her soul gem in front of sayaka’s FACE, not her soul gem, which is the only thing that can actually kill a magical girl.

so why wouldn’t homura just attack her soul gem directly? it wouldn’t be hard to do; sayaka is incredibly weak and depressed/suicidal atp, and homura could easily just snatch her soul gem/ring and break it, esp considering her time manipulation.

and when kyoko shows up, homura doesn’t put up a fight at all; she just stares stoically at sayaka. and even when homura DOES use a bomb to get away, you see how she doesn’t go to sayaka to finish the job. why would she have given up that easily, despite the fact that killing sayaka would still be very easy to do?

i think it could have been a last, desperate attempt to maybe "wake" sayaka up, a threat to get her to heal herself before her inevitable turning into a witch or smth. homura isn't above being harsh or using deception to achieve her goals, as she's done it multiple times (esp in rebellion), and i don't think it's necessarily any different here.
