I just don’t think Shadow is this tsundere people like to view him as
He has an attitude but he’d never outright bully someone he likes.
The only time he fights is when he feels something important is being threatened. I don’t think he’s immature enough to feel threatened about his fondness towards someone. His pride though, probably.
Like you’d never see him fight Rouge or Omega without good reason. He beats Sonic and Tails because they get usually get in the way, not because of a personal vendetta. He’s self centered, not an egomaniac.
This is coming from someone that enjoys tsundere characters, or characters that are very insecure/defensive about being vulnerable.
Shadow is just rude (and autistic), not a brat
