Shadow Jazz
'Middle Finger' - frequent action in Ego Death
WARNING: This page contains Ego Death Spoilers! Proceed with caution.
Shadow Jazz is the failed science experiment clone of Jazz Emu, made with rat DNA by accident after a rat fell into the mixing pot. He is a more confident, charming version of Jazz that attempts to take over Jazz's life by gaining more popularity than him.
He is the main antagonist of Ego Death.
Appearance
Throughout Ego Death, Shadow Jazz goes through a number of physical changes.
At first he appears to be identical to Jazz Emu, donning a long black leather jacket, grey wide legged trousers, a grey and black shirt and orange tinted sunglasses. His outfit changes a number of times throughout the visual album, most notably during A La Mode.
During Cake/Obsolete, he begins to grow more rat-like features, namely much longer front teeth as an effect from the bottle he stole from the laboratory.
In Easy For Me, Shadow Jazz gains more pointed ears, slicked back hair, whispy sideburns, a larger, redder, nose and harier hands. At the end of the song he transforms into the Hench Rat, becoming massively tall and ridiculously jacked. His face now resembles more of a rats, with a large snout, prominent whiskers and a questionably patchy beard. At this point he is wearing nothing but pink jorts, black boots, a black collar-like necklace and his orange sunglasses.
By the end of the album, he has shrunk back to his usual size and has gone back to just having the teeth, ears and nose.
Abilities
- Hench Rat - Apparently able to turn into Hench Rat at will, however this could just be due to the potion hitting full effect.
- Strength - Shadow Jazz is much stronger than Jazz Emu, and is easily able to knock him out.
- Pregnancy through Charm - Gets at least two characters pregnant just by looking at them.
Relationships
- Jazz Emu - Shadow Jazz's creator. For the most part they have an antagonistic relationship; Jazz spends the majority of the album trying to get back at Shadow while Shadow spends the album provoking him in return. Eventually, they come to understand their differences and reach a more friendly relationhsip, just before Jazz Emu rips off his limbs and absorbs him (in good nature).
- Shadow Ulla - Shadow Jazz's friend. The two mirror classic Jazz and Ulla, also appearing to be good friends. They support each other during A La Mode, giving 'classic disney villain duo' the whole time that they harass the Fashion Victim.
Appearances
Shadow Jazz only appears in the visual album Ego Death.
