The Eighth Chaos Emerald | Sonic IDW Comic Dub

Fang is on the hunt for the mysterious 8th chaos emerald! But Sonic seems to have his doubts.
This was fun to make! It's a nice change of pace to make something with more comedic elements plus I got the oppurtunity to experiment with speech bubbles more! I hope you enjoy !

The fact it was retconned by the time the Warp Topaz was revealed in the Classic series as a prequel to Sonic Superstars.

[@AnimeJeice]

2 things: 1. As stated by many others, the 8th chaos emerald does indeed come from the arcade game, sonic the fighters, which (fun fact) is also sonic’s first 3d game (sonic 3d blast came out in November, SoF came out in June) And 2. (I hope I’m remembering this correctly if not, feel free to correct me) it’s actually stated somewhere in the IDW comics that the “8th emerald” is actually the warp topaz, which is… er, was, owned by starline.

[@ADAMBNRAHALHAOUSR-mf1bo]

Yup Fang I'd in sonic fan mod making random stuff like some fans like look a 8 chaos emereld with rainbow color or gold

[@Kaleidio]

Well, no not really. We already know that chaos emeralds interact very strangely when used in certain amounts in accordance to colours (such as if you have a batch of five and one is purple, they explode). If an eighth did exist, sonic would still likely only need 7 to go super, but the eighth would have some separate interaction. If we go by old archie comic lore (not canon to the games), there are thousands of chaos emeralds, sonic only needs 7 to go super and the rest can be stored elsewhere.

[@BetaTheIndominus]

@@Kaleidio actually the 8th chaos Emerald does exist if we count the one from sonic the fighters.

[@RClipsGaming101]

@@Kaleidio True, but it is entirely possible that this is some separate timelines shenanigans that only affects Classic Sonic. We have yet to here of anything involving other Chaos Emeralds in the main game timeline. And while yes, technically Classic Sonic is still part of the main timeline, it is entirely possible that some things in Classic Sonic's world/section of time got screwed with thanks to the Time-eater. And while yeah, it is entirely possible that other Chaos Emeralds exist in the Canon timeline. There is A LOT of evidence to suggest that this is NOT the case, and that the main 7 Chaos Emeralds might have been getting shared around galaxies.

[@MikeTheHedgehog]

You done a really awesome job on the voice dubbing for Sonic Fang & Bean I enjoyed watching this and Fang's own mini series as well. Keep It up 😊👍

[@Imm_o]

Each one of Fang's sources are references to prior games. The orange one is a reference to Sonic the Fighters, the rainbow one is a reference to Sonic Blast (which is a chaos emerald that was split into 5 different coloured shards), and I believe the Gold one is a reference to Tails's fake SA2 emerald (which was gold/yellow in colour). The whole thing is a reference to multiple facets of early Sonic, where the specific number of the Chaos Emeralds was MOSTLY 7, but was prone to change depending on the game. For example, in Sonic 1, it was 6. The 7th only appeared in Sonic 2. (In Sonic Spinball, there are 16 emeralds. Which is very funny, and very insane.) Figured people might enjoy this information being placed into one comment since a lot of the comments seem to be focusing on either only the Sonic the Fighters portion of the reference, or don't fully understand the references at all. (Which, by the way, it's okay if you don't! These are pretty obscure references) Good dub, by the way. I enjoyed it

Nebula tense story cerials: the 8th emerald is the dark Grey emerald, it was discovered by ag-99, also the master emerald was always on mobius, the chaos emeralds (and the new 8th one) were brought to mobius by the ancients (the ancients somehow, lost the 8th one fsr)

[@JozMkII]

Nice dubbing, the voices fit each character well. And the music and sound effects are placed quite well, too.

[@delinquenter]

The eighth emerald is a Sonic the Fighters reference. It's also the reason, why Fang knows about the emerald and why these three are grouped together. It was their main / last appearance. And the soccerball is a reference to Bean's secret cameo in Virtua Striker 2 and his character profile in the game's guide book, that only released in Japan.

[@Axxidous]

There is bo 8th chaos emerald. This is referring to the 8 emeralds in Sonic Championship aka Sonic the Fighters. And those were each the same color as the fighter they were associated with, which act as tokens in a tournament. I doubt they were real or that whoever developed that game was really knowledgeable or attentive to canon and lore. Sonic likely had all the chaos emeralds the whole time. And as good as an explanation as that is, I’m sure Ian Flynn will find some creative outlandish way to address it that’s not straight forward. lol

[@da-sonic]

fun fact: the rainbowy emerald is a reference to sonic blast, where going by the manual it's just one of the 7 emeralds but it breaks into 5 shards

[@tommygun9391]

I always imagined the eighth emerald being orange so Fang's theory checks out (at least for me)

[@TrintellixLeGaulois]

My headcanon is that the reason we never really see these characters in modern mainline sonic games anymore is because they are still too busy searching for that 8th chaos emerald to this day.

I'm guessing this was in reference to how there were 8 Chaos Emeralds in Sonic Fighters, huh? Which was also the first time Bark and Bean showed up in a Sonic game. Nack/Fang turned up previously in Triple Trouble.

[@sonicpro_1]

Dang. I thought that I came up with the idea of an 8th and 9th chaos emerald... well, I still came up with their abilities.

[@ShiningSilvally]

This is too funny. Fang, Bean & Bark's incompetent natures are legendary. I know that this is a semi-reference to Sonic The Fighters(kinda wish that I could get the PS3 version, ngl), but I don't think that there's any rainbow-colored Emerald, unless a canonical HYPER EMERALD becomes a thing. Orange or Gold? I'm not sure about Gold, but I've seen Orange in Sonic R. That said, alternate forms, colors, & powers throughout different universes and continuities, like Blaze's dimension, & the Sol Emeralds, but that's not going to happen, unless they want to break dimensional barriers, which they're nowhere smart enough to do. So like Sonic said, we're safe.

Friendly reminder that pre-adventure there implied to multiple sets of chaos emeralds not just 7. But Adventures onwards Sega declared there are only 7 chaos emeralds with the Master Emeralds.

[@arzfan29]

This just isn't true, the games since sonic 2 have had it formly established that there's 7 emeralds and they frequently go into a different dimension that can be accessed from many places in the world, the only things with other emeralds are fighters, where fang brought a fake emerald to join for the prize money, the archie comics, which aren't canon and never have been, and spindash, which isn't canon and follows the archie stuff

[@JohnWilliams-wl9px]

@@arzfan29 that’s the modern canon, and trying to clean up the abandoned concept. As early Japanese manuals hinted each island to have there own sets of emeralds. In fact Knuckles actually assumed Sonic stole Angel Island’s set. The Sonic Bible mentions there being at least being 7 emeralds and Robotnik only found 6. So despite the fact the first game only had 6 they were teasing there being more. Fang’s fake one was only explained recently by Ian to be a fake. Because no information was available where it came from. Spindash wasn’t Archie it was the American division of Sega. As they were the ones who came up with the freedom fighters NOT Archie. Archie was it’s own universe and even then still were given rules on game concept/characters. And the chaos emeralds having a limit wasn’t introduce until Ian Flynn came along to rewrite the comic closer to the games. Fun fact about Adventure 1 it was consider a reboot of the brand because they wanted to streamline things and change. Amy age was retcon, designs, and the fact the games were the main canon now. As before then SEGA actually encourage their divisions to make up their own Sonic mythos for their respective markets. America had Archie comics and several cartoons, UK had their own comic, and even Japan itself made a manga that reimagine Sonic as a superhero closer to Spider-Man.
