I like shadow Yuu's sword better

looking awfully yandere there Rise!

You know, they never showed a shadow of Souji... So would it be better to have Adachi there?

As far as I remember Yuu does not equal to Adachi.

Thematically, he really kind of does.
They both move to Inaba from the city and end up under Doujima's hard-love tutelage shortly before attracting Izanami's attention, but Yuu makes friends and confronts the truth while Adachi sinks into a lonely delusion and forces his own reality onto the world.

That's why the Protagonist never has to confront his Shadow outright. The whole GAME consists of him confronting his "shadow."
Or was Magatsu Izanagi not a big enough hint for you?

In that case, wow, did the anime miss the point or WHAT, because it had an honest-to-goodness Shadow Yu in episode 26.

That's probably because, evil counterpart or not, the two of them are still separate individuals.
