    Okay Theorists, I have to ask: how can Sonic keep his super speed and not DIE?! Seriously, he should be STARVING! Based on his insane running exercise, one chili hot dog would NOT be enough to keep him alive. So I grabbed my calculator to solve the exact number of hot dogs Sonic needs to keep his super speed.

      @@mustdunichtkennen.5827 Yeah it's shown in the first movie too that even a small hair from sonic contains an unfathomable amount of his own specific type of energy. I don't think that means that he doesn't need food, but that when he uses his powers it utilizes this infinite source of energy he has flowing through him. I would assume that normal bodily functions outside of the use of his powers burns calories though.

    Some of the comments mention how he's not a human and is from another dimension, so his metabolism isn't the same as a humans.... but really what I feel throws this theory out the window is just how much energy his body already contains. Just a SINGLE quill seems to carry a near infinite amount of energy. Makes me wonder if he even _needs_ to eat anything at all. 🤔

    @ThreeGoddesses Год назад +615

    Don't forget that Sonics body is incredibly energy dense. Just a single quill was enough to power Eggman's machine to become equivalently fast. I would hazard a guess that Sonics body is so replete with energy that he doesn't actually need to eat; he just does it because it tastes good and is fun to do, or because he mistakenly thinks he HAS to eat.

    • @mattball420
      @mattball420 Год назад +52

      But he burns off the calories he eats or hed be huge, the quills are likely more like ki energy where as food gives him actual calories for his body to use as "energy" doesnt contain essential amino acids

    • @optimistprime3192
      @optimistprime3192 Год назад +67

      It might be a combination of the two: Sonic needs food to run fast, and running even faster starts to tap into that quill energy/ki, making him glow blue at higher levels of use.
      So..... Movie Sonic runs on the Boost formula, at a metabolic level.

      @@mattball420 Aliens don't typically have the same biology as we do. Sonic and other characters typically run off chaos energy, which kind of just exists in the universe. I can't remember exactly how Dr Eggman used the quill, but it wouldn't surprise me if it had so much energy because it was more a way to access chaos energy than being full of energy itself

    Eggman used one of Sonic's quills to power his tech so he could chase him. It mentained his charge without sonic which means it generates power on it own. Considering that sonic has hundreds of quills on his back and the fact that he's an alien, his speed might come from the power stored in his quills. Also, in the first movie, sonic first ate a chilly dog after Eggman started chasing him. I could be wrong but your they definitely need some revisions.👍

    Keep in mind in the first scene, when he ran to get the bad guys, everything was frozen showing that he was actually running at a MUCH MUCH faster speed than Matt calculated and also his calorie usage is innacurate because these formulas are according to the average human and we all know sonic is no where near close to human in biology. So this theory could be innacurate, but remember its just a theory, A FILM THEORY!

      you can just feel that he did the basic energy calculations and found very reasonable numbers so he went to biology with rediculous inefficiency when considering only one task and not the calories burned to keep you alive while you do that task then decided if sonic was as inefficient as a human during this it would be a lot of food so he went ahead and wrote the script and made the video.

    The average chili dog costs $2.50. Times 2,989,017 is $7,472,542.50. With the recommended tip being 20%, that total becomes $8,976,051. If there are 86,400 seconds in a day, that means that if Sonic kept running without stopping for 24 hours he would need to spend $193,688,301,600 to refuel. That's more than Elon Musk's calculated net worth.

      Conversely, it now makes sense as to why he's considered so special.
      Knuckles in the movie had the exact same power Sonic had... the same pulsing electricity powerup. We can assume every echidna does, in fact, as there is no explanation for why it would just be Knuckles.
      And Knuckles never actually does anything that matches Sonic's speed feats. He does manage to hulk-style outleap a car, but that's different from running.
      It'd probably be a much more believable number for Knuckles' feats. A number he can actually eat per day.
      Sonic's special power isn't his speed, per say... it's the quills he has that generate infinite energy, which he utilizes for speed.
      The question then becomes... how does Sonic grow those quills in the first place? And while on that topic, how do the emeralds in the movie do the same? Is it the same infinity, or a different infinity? Or is it all beyond science?

    Depending on which canon you follow, Sonic is powered by chaos energy. The cells of his body allow him to absorb an amount of power from the ambient chaos energy that exists in the Sonicverse. Some characters like Shadow have been augmented to more easily access this ambient energy, ie: his "Chaos Control". The chaos emeralds are basicly crystalized chaos energy rather than the source of chaos energy. It's kind of like when Sage Mode Naruto uses nature chakra instead of his or Kurama's chakra to power up.

    Since he doesn't have access to almost 3 million chili dogs, what's more likely is that he ate 7,020 people while making that 4 second run. People are everywhere, and if he's moving that quickly, he won't get caught.
    That said, he's also likely leaving a long trail of excrement behind him that's full of human bones, clothing, and the occasional piercings or pacemakers.
