“Tails… what happens when we run out of rings and get hit”

[@cyanthehedgehog777]

Tails: The life, also referred to as the try, is a game mechanic that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a play-turn that playable characters have, defined as the period between start and end of play, and refer to a finite number of tries before the game ends with a Game Over. This game mechanic is present in almost every major game in the Sonic series.

Gamma still has the most impactful death in the series for me. His story was masterfully executed in SA1, and the ending was just the cherry on top. Still one of my favorite stories in the entire series.

[@sethisevilone02]

Definitely his story is the cherry on top in sa1

[@user-ek2sm8gw9m]

when gamma is speaking to amy the bird that amy has flies up in front of gamma. gamma upon seeing the bird spasms and suddenly decides to let amy go. this is likely meant to imply that gamma has obtained the ability to feel from the bird inside of him as its the sibling of the bird that he just saw. furthermore during gammas death scene he gets flashes of the memories of the bird inside of him further implying this is why he can feel.

[@user-ek2sm8gw9m]

@@LowErengyoldchannel i do think this one flicky does indeed give him the ability to feel, however flawed of a plot point that may be. i think that gamma is killing the other e-series to free the animals trapped inside them, however it is not made particularly clear if thats the case and it does confuse me to an extent. as for zero, gamma has no idea he exists, he was never seen by gamma even once unlike all the other e-series robots.

[@user-ek2sm8gw9m]

regarding the flicky though, the bird that amy had seemed to somehow know his sibling was inside gamma which i would guess implies an exceptional connection he had with his sibling that allowed him to break through to gamma

[@user-ek2sm8gw9m]

@InstantDoodles if omega has an animal inside of him it was litterally never mentioned, i think he has some sort of other power source, but they certainly don't make it very clear whether thats the case which i do find rather strange. and i personally ignore everything storywise from sonic colors onwards, just because i don't like it honestly, for the most part i hate what they did with the characters in modern games. and yeah, i do believe you are correct about the bird in the final story.

[@kirbstagoontheaxolotl]

Honestly, I think the 8 bit death of Tails is the most impactful, as it's the first time a death had appeared in a Sonic game, and it makes it crystal clear Dr. Eggman is willing to kill living beings to achieve his goals. And the picture of Tails' head appearing in the night sky signalling death proves that a story doesn't need words to tell itself. The picture tells the player that you failed to rescue your little buddy and that he's dead, no words needed. Just the one cutscene

Most of the Ancients were wiped out, but those who fled to Angel Island survived and eventually evolved into the Chao. Chaos is a mutated Chao. This mutation brought back traits of the Ancients that had probably remained dormant in the Chao, like some form of atavism.

So when the lamp is melted in the lava, the genie soul is forever trapped in the very molecules of that melted metal. It’s highly unlikely anyone could ever salvage every last piece of that lamp so his soul is forever trapped there. Truly a fate worse than death.

Molly's and Cosmo's death in the Japanese version of Sonic X struck me the most in the Sonic franchise I've ever had. I actually cried watching both deaths. Although I enjoyed watching the English dub of Sonic X, I didn't like the way they censored Molly's death and butchering the dialogue in Cosmo's death. No true feelings for the English dub, of course. When Molly sacrifices herself during the Metarex attack after her teammates refuse to listen to her, it shocks me. My heart shatters when Rouge screams Molly's name after she was killed by the Metarex. It was heartwarming to see Shadow places the tomb for Molly. He later placed a pink rose next to Molly's grave in the Japanese version of the last episode (78). Shadow was still alive after the final battle. When Tails was hesitant to shoot Cosmo in order to save the universe, I can feel the adrenaline. It shatters my heart to see Tails screaming in anguish as he slams his head on the control panel. I broke into tears to see Tails crying as he refused to shoot Cosmo because he loved her. Ryo Hirohashi's voice performance of Tails did a perfect job. I can feel her emotions in the way she did for voicing Tails in the scene. It feels so realistic. Both deaths are the saddest in the series I've ever seen in my entire life.

[@TuffoftheStars2024]

Tails: COSMOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!😭

[@VincentEternal]

I think one interesting death is literally everyone in the idw books. During the metal Virus arc Silver talks about how he came from the future and everyone was gone thanks to the virus. Eggman says that once someone becomes a zombot they will eventually dissolve and die it’s said to take hundreds of years but still. It’s also interesting because it’s said that without Silver help that the heroes failed to stop the virus and everyone eventually got infected and died . It could be considered a technicality because we don’t see it but Silver did come his future where everyone was dead.

[@MaxusFox23]

Imagine going back home from a 6-months war and find... a completely desolate world with no one in it. Makes me wonder if whenever Silver goes back in time, he becomes an out-of-time-and-space/paradoxical existence or else he wouldn't be around to stop the virus to begin with.

[@VincentEternal]

“Remaining E-series units, Gamma….Beta.” Still an incredibly powerful death for such an incredible character.

Molly's definitely was pure tragedy. Everyone around her knew the fight was a lost cause and still tried her best. From almost being assassinated by her friend with a bomb to essentially going kamikaze in front of the squad that turned their backs on her and exploding right in front of the one person that, despite everything, genuinely tried to cheer her up... and then we discover that same squad, after switching sides, had their graves dug in advance. Nothing but a tale of betrayal and despair.

[@agentomecha634]

I’m glad Mecha Sonic MK II is being brought back in the IDW Comics with Scrapnik Island as I always thought he had a lot more potential as a possible recurring character. Plus the sprite community has definitely made sure he wasn’t forgotten. From what I understand about the Ancients, I just assumed after they sealed away The End within cyberspace, the remaining members migrated to Angel Island and the Mystic Ruins where over hundreds to thousands of years, radiation from the Master Emerald caused them to mutate into the Chao. That would explain why Chaos looks very similar to the Ancients even though he’s supposed to be a mutated Chao himself. Plus in one of the Egg Memos, Eggman states that Chaos’s DNA is very similar to that of the Ancients which helps back up my assumption.

[@kregheckel3628]

I know this video's a year old at this point, but there's a chunk of unaccounted-for deaths within Forces with one of the stages. During the game's penultimate stage, Final Judgement, part of the stage requires running down a long shaft before getting to the Phantom Ruby generators at the bottom of the stage. Thing is, in the background of the stage it's shown there are a TON of Mobians trapped in capsules along the stage walls as you're running down. And upon destroying the generators, the entire stage just outright explodes as you Double Boost to get away to the end of the stage. So there's a huge amount of deaths in just that one stage alone that everyone seems to forget.

[@littenfire3563]

If we count the IDW comics (which could be considered loose canon at this point, given that Tangle is namedropped in Frontiers), then Mecha Sonic Mk2, Mecha Knuckles and the Deadly Six are all still around. The Deadly Six return in the Metal Virus saga, and Mecha Sonic & Mecha Knuckles both return in the Scrapnik Island miniseries.

[@KatelynJewel]

Considering the "Chao" in your name, I'm surprised you didn't mention the Chao who go into gray cocoons and die after you've abused them a number of times. I guess this doesn't fully count since it only happens in game rather than any of the stories. There's also the ending of Silver's story in Sonic 06 where Blaze sacrificed herself, though it's unknown what her fate was. I remember back in 2006, I was worried about whether this would stick or not since I thought she was one of the best female characters in the game, and it wasn't shown how much was undone by the reset button in the end. Thankfully Blaze continued to appear in games afterwards, so we know she's not dead. I can definitely understand why you only stuck with the games and Sonic X since the Archie comics have enough deaths to be its own subject. I know Sonictoast made a video covering five of them. The Fleetway comics had a few as well which Sonic the Comic Reviews covered.

[@Ninjaguy3128]

A theory that I’ve seen and agree with us that Blaze sent herself to the Sol Dimension. In 06, Blaze had asked Silver to seal her into another dimension, and the only other place we’ve seen her from is the Sol Dimension, so it can be assumed that’s where she was sealed to. Maekawa wanted a sense of connection between Sonic 06 and Sonic Rush, and Manaita had always believed that 06 and Rush were intentionally written with a connection to each other. This essentially means that Blaze originated from the future and NOT the Sol Dimension. She sealed herself into the Sol Dimension, not originating from there.

[@m.2039]

Not sure if someone said it, but a group from IDW known as the Diamond Cutters had most of their members meet a gruesome fate. The diamond cutters were a group of 5 Mobians resisting Eggman's influence, performing hit and runs. It consisted of Mimic the Octopus, Claire Voyant the...monkey I think, Smithy the Lion, Slinger the Ocelot, and Whisper the Wolf. Mimic, their shapeshifting infiltrator got information about an eggman base, which could cause massive blackouts for eggmans operations if destroyed. While Claire Voyant, their psy-op, sensed something bad upcoming, they only asked their sniper, Whisper, to hold back and keep an eye on the entrance. When they reached the base, Mimic shapeshifted into an eggpawn for further investigation. However, as the three within the building, the building locked itself up, and a horde of shadow androids emerged. Claire Voyant, Smithy, and Slinger opened fire with their weapons, but were soon overwhelmed and likely torn apart or beaten to death. Mimic had betrayed the Diamond Cutters in order for a pardon for his involvement from eggman. However, Whisper, who was outside watching the entrance, likely heard the radio feedback, and hid within a tree. Mimic's goal now is to track down Whisper and finish the job, as Eggman is on his case for failing to take out all 4. He was temporarily imprisoned, but later escaped. His current whereabouts are unknown.

On the point with Chaos, I think he can go back and forth between the afterlife and the living world. In the Sonic Forces prequel comics, Knuckles doesn’t seem surprised to see Chaos emerging from the Master Emerald (even though it was an illusion, but he didn’t know that), so that suggests that this isn’t uncommon and has happened a few times before.

I'm pretty sure one of the Egg Memos hints at the Ancients evolving into the Chao, and that's why Chaos is a thing. Radiation made him evolve backwards. So while they're technically not *dead* dead, the Ancients as they were prior to their evolution no longer exist.

Something I would like to note about a few characters mentioned in this video is some of them are confirmed to have survived (At least in the modern era). Mecha Sonic and Mecha Knuckles survive because we see them in Scrapnik island. All of the deadly six survive as well since we see them in the main IDW comic series. I'd also like to mention before anyone says "IDW isn't canon", that I'm afraid to say that we've had two times now this has been proven false. 1. Tangle is mentioned in Frontiers. 2. Sega confirmed that another story in a free comic book day issue of IDW Sonic was the prequel to Sonic Frontiers: Convergence. Anyways, awesome video! Definitely subscribing to the channel!

Note: in the original timeline in Sonic 06, Iblis and Blaze are 'sealed away forever', which is basically the same as Chip's version of death but without the "I'm still around" part (which may be worth mentioning). It is also entirely up for debate whether the death of Solaris wiped either or both of Silver and Blaze from existence, since their story was set 200 years in the future and the sequence of events that led to them being born could easily have played out differently.

[@ORLY911]

Thats a huge can of worms i still see people talking about, since originally blaze wasnt from the future, she was from an alternate dimension, and in 06 Blaze expresses no familiarity with Sonic, or even talks to him. The trick is about how the game retcons itself and reverts Silvers future, yet, we still see her and Silver in Generations and other media. So its assumed the canon is they go with the Sol Dimension idea of Blaze, and that 06 is inconsequential completely, but it does raise the question of Silver which I'm not sure will ever be elaborated on outside the comics. The character could use a new introduction, clearly despite debuting in a terrible game they like keeping the goof around, hes been getting toys and merch so there's some market appeal there.

So a few additional information's: - Yes Tikal died that day her father attacked the Chao. The Sonic Adventure navigation guide state that Tikal sealed Chaos along side her soul meaning only a lifeless body of her remained as her soul was now together with Chaos in the Master Emerald - No Chaos isn't dead that his appearance in Sonic Battle wasn't a non-canon cameo was confirmed by Sonic Forces second official canon prequel Comic "Stress test" where knuckles explains to Silver why he shouldn't worry about Chaos after he appeared (unbeknownst to Knuckles was this however not the real Chaos who as Knuckles states is peaceful nowadays but a Phantom Ruby Copy) - If we want to talk about deaths in Shadow's solo game would there also be the funny time the Black Comet just crashed on top of a large City. We don't know which City it is but that is properly a few deaths more. - So we just gonna glose over that Time in 06 were Solaris nuked the Universe and killed like everyone past, present and future across the entire universe not just earth. - I mean in Secret Rings was Solomon reduced to a undead skeleton does that count for anything? And technically its a story mission that Sonic un-alives again the 40 thieves after Erazor resurrected them. - Are you really skipping Sonic killing Arthur in Black Knight here? You gave Robots with far less personality then him a shutout so this magic construct counts. - You literally just showed Infinite turning 3 Resistance fights into vapor of cause Infinite is killing them. And Knuckles got 80% of there forces "wiped out" you used the same wording to state that Shadow killed Infinites squad. Just a few minor things: - We known't actually know how many characters temporarily died in Lost World. Knuckles and Amy were dead for sure but Eggman does mentioned that there was still enough life on Earth for him to conquer so its possible a lot of Characters did survive we just don't know how many. - I'm not sure how Molly is anywhere top 3 if we by counting X have to Emerl Deaths on this list. - Actually did Elise and Eggman not die when Sonic and Silver had they talk. Chaos Control was shown to only cause causal loops. In the original timeline were both died did Silver never came back as Mephiles created the timeline split to create a timeline in which he can actually win as the original one lead to Silvers bad future rather than the rebirth of Solaris. - Not sure if you tried to imply it but Erazor isn't dead. He can't die he is immortal. Granted Sonic gave him a fate worse than Death but still technically not dead. - Sega has a tendency to not allow dead characters to be alive again in the Comics so the fact that all 6 Zeti re-appeared in the IDW Sonic Comics means that they are properly still alive. - Yes the End skilled most of the Ancients but between Chaos own backstory "being a mutated Chao" which was confirmed to still be canon. And the Egg Memo's saying that the Ancients are related to Chaos does that mean that they survivors mutated into Chao over time (properly thanks to the Master Emerald) - Counting Sonic X because of collaboration with Sonic Team should also put the by now arguably canon IDW Comics and Sonic Prime on the "to be considered" list for this video

Regarding the Deadly Six, they do reappear a few times in the IDW comics. The comics have been referencing the main game events as well as filling in lore gaps like why Wisps are still a thing since Colours, so their intent appears to be that they are canon material. Hell, Frontiers namedrops Tangle, who is a character originally from the IDW comics (before appearances in mobile games, that is). So yeah, Deadly Six still around.

One death that you have missed was in Sonic CD, if Sonic neglects destroying the transporters located in the past or collects the time stones. The player receives the bad ending where Sonic escaped Dr. Eggman's lair with Amy Rose. When he landed back from the hill at Never Lake, Little Planet rises back into the air, and Dr. Eggman flies away in his Egg Mobile carrying the time stones that Sonic neglected to collect, Sonic grabbed a rock, did a spindash and threw the rock at the evil doctor. The Egg Mobile exploded, the explosion was the shape of Dr. Eggman's logo which is his face, implying that Sonic ended Dr. Eggman for good. However, what Sonic did ended in vain because with the time stones in Eggman's palm, he chained Little Planet back to the hill of Never Lake, Eggman's laugh is heard on the background and "Try Again" text appeared, forcing Sonic to be in an endless loop unless he collects the time stones.

[@DapperIndividual]

So I did a reread of the recent IDW comics, and there is a surprising amount of death in those as well (Spoilers ahead)... Before we begin, though, the Deadly Six are alive as they are featured heavily in several stories. First up is technically the death and rebirth of Eggman. After Forces, he was found in a random village with his entire personality rewritten as "Mr. Tinker. " We spent a couple of issues with him as he fixed up an old, sleepy windmill town before Dr. Starline kidnaps him and rewrites his memory, essentially killing Mr. Tinker and bringing back Eggman. In the Tangle and Whisper mini series, we learn about Whisper's past with her team, the Diamond Cutters. It was revealed in a flashback that one of the members, Mimic, was working for Eggman and trapped the rest of the team in a room full of Shadow Androids, killing all of them except Whisper and Mimic. Next up is... Basically, the entire world. The Metal Virus arc was essentially a zombie story where a good majority of the main cast was infected at some point. Namely Charmy, Shadow, Jewel, Tangle, Vector, Big, and Knuckles with Amy, Tails, Eggman, and especially Sonic almost biting it. Last up for now is the before mentioned Dr. Starline. During the events of Issue 50, Starline attempted to take over the Eggman infrastructure with his two lackies Surge and Kit. While Surge and Kit were dealing with Sonic and Tails, Starline was facing Eggman 1 on 1 in a giant mech dual, to which he loses in spectacular fashion. After Eggman throws him around like a ragdoll, Starline was left broken, and last we saw of him was having a breakdown as the ceiling crumbled upon him. When Sonic hears the news of this awful man's tragic end, his only reply is "big oof" which I think is appropriate.
