Back at Eggman's island, he comes up with the long way 'round to conquer the planet: If he can't do it by force, he'll do it by education! Have the lil' brats brainwashed that Eggman is a nice guy! It worked for Columbus. #SonicX

In most continuities (Video game, IDW, Fleetway) he's just...there. In some continuities (Archie), he has parents, in others (Early Archie, the live action movies) he was raised by someone else due to being orphaned. Sonic X...he's just there. #SonicX

Chris tells the gang to stay hiding while Chris's parents are visiting and Sonic seems...ticked off for some reason.

Before anybody who didn't see when we covered the Japanese version, no, we never hear or see about Sonic's family so...yeah, not sure why he's PO'd. #SonicX

We open with Chris being told that his parents are finally gonna come home and see him! And it's not even his birthday!

Reminder: Chris's parents are loving parents...they're just the kind where 45 days out of the year, it's the help and grandpa that do the rasin'. #SonicX

"He's so...mysterious..." Depends on the continuity, sweety. I wonder if I should bring up Sonic's robo dad... #SonicX

Up next, HEY, EGGMAN, LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE! "Tecno Teacher!" #SonicX

I think this is where most of the team started to sink their teeth into their characters. It's clear that Pollock found his groove as Eggman with a few off the cuff lines and Griffith finds his flow as Sonic. Dan Green's Knuckles is...fine...a little too "Hulk try not to Hulk speak" for me. #SonicX

I still find it so amusing that Lisa did Lina both before and after this was dubbed so in the 2000s SLAYERS seasons you could hear her trying to pitch her voice back down for Lina in the early episodes!

Knuckles beats Eggman and walks away and everybody...just shrugs like it's normal because...well...4th time in cannon. #SonicX

"YOU LIAR!" I'd say he's not gonna fall for that again, but...i'd be a bigger bullshit artist than Eggman if I did. #SonicX

"I JUST KNEW YOU'D JUST COME HERE TO SAVE ME!" If you're wondering why SEGA just stopped listing their ages, I would like to remind you we're watching a 12 year old put the moves on a 15 year o---bathroom's three doors down the hall and to the right, but use the plunger if stuck. #SonicX

And yes, there's times that I haven't seen, but heard, including the Sonic OVA, one of the Advance games, an Archie story, and Pocket Adventure.

In short, the Master Emerald outsourced...an idiot to guard itself. #SonicX

-The Chaos Saga in the Japanese version of Sonic X.
-The Metarex saga in the Japanese version of Sonic X.
-Sonic The Hedgehog the movie 2, where he was so obsessed with smashing Sonic, he thought he won smashing a tiny fake version. #SonicX

In the words of Joe Bob Briggs, "Let's Get to Them Drive In Totals." We have...

-Sonic 3, his first appearance.
-Sonic Triple Trouble, a side game taking place in between 3 and Sonic & Knuckles.
-The Sonic half of Sonic & Knuckles.
-Both Sonic's and his own story in Sonic Adventure #SonicX

...also this in not to insult Jason as a VA. I still feel the same way about Richard Ian Cox's Ranma who then graduated to be the DEFINITIVE voice for Inuyasha!

"We have all afternoon to duke it out buddy boy!"
Yeah, it took Jason Griffith a minute to find his Sonic voice. All his other VAs kinda got it on the first go, it took him a moment.

"Eggman swore to me all he wanted was to live in peace!" Just for funsies, I'm gonna list all the times that I know of in both cannon and expanded material that Knuckles has fallen for the "I'm just an old man, that stupid teenager is picking on me" bit... #SonicX

"This is a battle between Sonic and me! I'll fight my way!" Once again, Knuckles is always angry.

(Waits for implication to land) #SonicX

Sonic finally notices that Eggman is watching the fight and one of his bots captured hi---

"You wrecked my robot! And it isn't even insured!"

Do I need to explain why Pollock's Eggman is my FAVORITE Eggman? #SonicX

Amy's solution to escape the robot...

*SMASH*

The American way. #SonicX
