...while Minoru Suzuki puts Shadow the Hedgehog in an abdominal stretch.
That's right, Minoru Suzuki has been using his iconic theme for longer than most of us could've guessed, it's just a different version than the one he requested later that we all currently know and love. Got a preference between the two?

If that's not an 1980s/90s OVA intro, I don't know what is.

I can't decide which I prefer. This one the piano intro sounds so much darker and more menacing, Suzuki sounds like some nightmarish anime vampire coming out, same with the verse, but I prefer the chorus section of the current one. But really, both are great.

Interesting how the keyboards lead the intro in this version and it flip flops with the guitar for the current one. It's definitely more stripped down without some of the overdubs and a more natural sound. It probably fits Suzuki's character more being more striped down and the menacing keyboard intro. But I actually prefer the current version, even though this one is pretty good.

Just as importantly, if Minoru would abdominal stretch Shadow, do you think he'd just slap Big the Cat silly or would he go for an arm wrench?

You know, it's odd remembering how handsome he used to be before he got older and became a walking Devil Fruit.

Either way, I love how this heeliest of heels has this beautiful entrance theme. Always loved that about him, along with Japanese crowds singing along. As for which I like more, I like the chorus of the current one more, but dig the rest more on this one by a little, maybe since it makes me think of a vampire boss battle. Like I half expect Neclord to come out.  |

Like I half expect Neclord to come out. The style of music just clashes so much with a guy who's so straight-forward and no frills, and that's a huge part of what makes it so great. You think there'd be an ancient vampiric lord, yet there's just this dude with black tights and a towel saying "there are worse things than monsters". I like to think that this music playing would make vampires run away screaming, because, let's face it, vampires would probably be terrified of Minoru Suzuki. |
