Trivia

• Shadow was meant to appear in the series but it wasn't sure when exactly. The Writer believed that Shadow Play would have been the perfect opportunity and put him in the plot before writing.
  • Before hand, Shadow had nothing to do with the plot as the episode was planned before the creation of Ultimate Hero.
• Shadow was originally Darkness in The Original Series and shared a similar fate as Drillbit.
  • The only difference between Drillbit and Shadow in this case is that Drillbit's excuse was because of his advanced DNA which would have meant that a regular Fossorvate and an advanced Fossorvate existed in the Ultimatrix together however Shadow retcons this as his DNA is not genetically advanced or altered.
    • In a scene that didn't make it in the episode, Shadow Play, Brandon was supposed to comment about how the Shadow Kind were the same species as Darkness and went to get Coco for help only to find that he's been taken by the Shadow King and they had to go into the Shadow Realm to rescue him. This would have explained the Shadow and Darkness connection more thoroughly.
• In The Original Series, Darkness had no hood and had an appearance similar to Ghostfreak.
• Shadow's appearance was created without a design which explains why it contrasts slightly from the description.
  • It was actually inspired by a fan art design created by Aaron.
