One headcannon I always had as a kid was that the dark Gaia creatures were the ones who built the little snowmen and snow deer that are in the night level for Holoska.
I like to imagine that Amy was legally adopted by Vanilla when she was a kid. The little gremlin that was Amy just wandered around one day, Vanilla was like “hey where are you parents” and Amy just stared at her blankly. So Vanilla took legal custody over her.
My headcanon is the Time Eater was not fully destroyed but sent to another dimension, kicking off the events of Superdimension Neptune vs SEGA Hard Girls. That too has a villain called the Time Eater that looks a lot like Perfect Chaos whose goal is to erase time and wipe all Sega consoles from history. Almost like a way to finish Sonic off for good? Hmmm...
btw, I like to think that the time eater was created after the wisp energy ran out of control at the end of Colors. Not just a random god (?) that Eggman randomly encountered.
I always thought Sonic was a teenager. In the Genesis games, he was 12-13. In Adventure 1 he's 15 mostly because you can see remnants of his classic look. He's slightly talller but he's still pudgy like like classic look. From SA2 onwards, he's about 17 or 18. He's taller and lankier than he was in SA1.
The last headcannon (Metal Sonic is Bad Future's Roboticized Sonic) is an old Sonic Theorist video about the exact same thing but presented as a theory.
My favorite personal headcannon that I had when I first played sonic mania is that, sonic mania's events take place after sonic generations and not only that but at the end of sonic generations we see that classic sonic sonic tried to learn the homing attack right? Well I always thought of the drop dash as classic sonic's way of using the homing attack in a way, like, he tried to learn the homing attack but ended up creating his own move. It may be silly but thats a headcannon I always had that I loved.
ooh that's a good one, i like that. We can continue that by saying that sonic from frontiers is that same sonic and now we are in a separate timeline from the modern sonic in generations that showed him the homing attack. There is also that one move in smash bros where sonic does a move that looks like the start of the drop dash but then turns into a homing attack.
It wasn't the homing attack modern was showing classic ,it was the boost/mid air boost. Which could still be true to your theory because if classic tried to use the boost mid air,he might make up the drop dash because it's like charging his own boost mid air and releasing on the ground (Classic sonic could use the homing attack in generations,it was a skill you could buy at the shop)
well i mean charging up energy in the middle of the air to go forward in the ground instead of in the air does sounds like a homing attack if you think about it
@@MonoDree or it could be the fact that since classic sonic, being a pass version of modern sonic upon learning to drop dash, The knowledge would transfer to modern’s mind
Personally, my favourite headcanon is that olympic games are fully canon. There was a Mario x Sonic crossover adventure at some unseen point, specifically around the time of Unleashed/Colours. And they just regularly meet up to play some sports ever since that adventure.
I’m pretty sure they are canon. All Mario games are canon including the spin-offs and it was confirmed that all Sonic games are also confirmed canon (except for 06 but that’s a whole ‘nother debate). So I’m pretty sure it is canon.
@@neko_my_cat that’s what leads to a whole other debate. I agree with you 100% but it’s hard to explain to people with the brain of the size of a walnut that it happened but didn’t happen.
My head cannon is that Sonic is the type of person who runs away from his own problems. When it comes to other people's problems he is more that happy to help, but when it comes to his own problems, he'd rather pretend they don't exist. It's why he is so seemingly happy all the time, because he doesn't want to deal with his own negative emotions so he bottles them away. If Sega ever allowed Dark Sonic to be cannon, then that could be the reason why he doesn't want to deal with his negative emotions. Because He turns into Dark Sonic because of his strong negative emotions. However bottling up his emotions only makes it worse.
Some of my headcannons Dark Gaia and Solaris were the only two entities powerful enough to physically damage Super Sonic, which is why they can hit him and make him lose rings in their boss battles. The Time Eater is a rogue fragment of Methilis which is why it was strong enough to need 2 super formed beings to combat it but couldn't damage them. Shadow uses guns and other weapons in Shadow the Hedgehog because he forgot how to use Chaos Spear until the final battle at the end of the game but Shadow still trained with firearms even though he doesn't need them because he felt he should do the same training like any other member entering Gun even if they don't mandate him too.
I would say the Titans also can damage super Sonic, and the end too The Titans can kill him with a single move if you fail the QTEs and with like three single shots (The amount of lives you have in the minigame/bullet hell boss fight) The End can destroy both Sage controlling the Titan and Super Sonic
My headcanon that Super's invincibility is just that, he's invincible. It isn't a matter of it being so strong almost nothing can hurt him like in Dragon Ball, a Super form straight cannot be hurt by normal means. The only way to harm one is to somehow turn off his invulnerability (which is what Solaris does), pierce it with Negative Chaos Energy (which is what Dark Gaia does), or breaking the user's connection to the Emeralds (which is what Knuckles did in 3&K).
Another head cannon I came up with: Another reason why Knuckles was so trusting of Eggman was because, his father told him about a person that his father, Knuckles’ Grandpa, met. Who was a scientist and visited Angel Island just to learn about it’s culture and the emeralds, and had a big bushy mustache. But without knowing Eggman’s, nor Gerald’s, ages, he assumed that Eggman was the scientist and quickly trusted him as he looked just like the drawings Knux’ grandfather made of him. (If your wondering what happened to Knux’ father? Idk, he just walked into fire and went to haven or something, Idk)
I have quite a few headcanons: -Sonic’s past was not a pleasant one. It’s also why his classic self is mute; he just doesn’t feel “safe” around people he doesn’t know well. -When Tails, Cream, and Charmy grow older, they’ll start their own team together. -If Silver and Chip ever met each other, they would get along great. -Shadow cannot reproduce. This is due to his alien nature and his status as being the Ultimate Life Form; as such he can’t have kids with anyone since that wasn’t his purpose. -The reason Blaze was in the future in 06 is because of time travel. - Sonic’s family adopted Tails. Tails’ real parents are either neglectful or they’re dead. This is why Sonic and Tails have a brotherly bond. -Sonic has some sort of connection to Chaos energy. -In the Sonic Underground universe, Sonic and his siblings spent the rest of their lives fruitlessly fighting Robotnik, dying in the process. It’s only after their deaths when Queen Aleena finally reunited with them; crying in horror about what happened to them. I’ll probably update this if I want to share more headcanons. EDIT: aight here are more -To contrast classic Sonic's muteness, classic Amy only spoke Japanese until she was taught it in order to communicate with others more. So before Amy met Sonic, she didn't actually speak English yet, only learning it from him later on. This is in reference to how CD has a lot of differences between the American and Japanese versions of the game. -Cream and Vanilla's family has had a long history of using Chao as pets and/or weapons. Vanilla herself used to be a traveller much like Sonic and his friends, her Chao being Chocola, before eventually having Cream and giving her a Chao of her own (Cheese). -Tikal and Maria would totally be pals if they ever met each other (although considering they're both... y'know, dead-sort of in Tikal's case-maybe they did meet each other). -If the human characters were animals/mobians, I'd imagine Eggman being a bird (hey, it's a pun on his nickname), Elise being a cat, Maria being a rabbit, etc. -Shadow sees Amy and Cream like sisters, especially the former since she reminded him of his promise to Maria. -Blaze's parents are alive, hence the reason why Blaze is a princess instead of a queen; they just aren't around much and thus leave matters to their daughter (and she's capable of handling herself anyways). -Only Silver remembers the events of 06. The reason behind this is either because Mephiles influenced him the most out of the characters in the game, or as a side-effect of the fight with Solaris doing *something* to him. -It might be possible that Sonic is one of Silver's ancestors. -Despite his past, classic Sonic actually thinks of his Eggman as a friend; he knows the bad things he's done, but can still see the good in him. As the years went on, however, Sonic started to lose hope in Eggman. -Charmy either grew up with or was raised by Vector for most of his life. This is why he's always seen with both Vector and Espio and works with them despite him being a lot younger than them. -Sonic has seen what the Internet has done to him (not a serious headcanon, but I thought it'd be funny). -Adding to the last point, if Sonic.exe existed in the Sonic universe, I'd imagine him being an alien from a parallel world that happened to be similar to Sonic's, and he'd be a huge fan of the blue blur and his cocky attitude. As such, Sonic would be... pretty weirded out by him. -Despite still being happy and outgoing all the time, Sonic has PTSD (possibly undiagnosed) because of all of his adventures and the various enemies he's faced, from Sonic 3 and Knuckles all the way to Frontiers. The only one who has any suspicion of this being the case is Tails.
@@yay29823 Probably because it kind of makes sense when you think about it. Before the "official ages" were removed, Sonic was stated to be 15 years old. He's only *fifteen*, and he's had to deal with multiple robots that were designed to outmatch him, a water deity that destroyed an entire city, a failed experiment in space, his robotic clone attempting to destroy him again, genocidal aliens that wanted to consume human life, a freaking GOD that could've destroyed all of reality, an evil genie, a sorceress who wanted her world to be essentially infinite, the embodiment of destruction, a malevolent force that could eat time itself, six alien-like beings that clearly weren't friendly, a corrupted jackal that had infinite power, and (spoilers for Frontiers below) an old and powerful force that sought nothing but the destruction of everything. Yeah, Sonic's gone through shit. Wouldn't surprise me if him having PTSD was actually the case.
My favourite head-canon is Knuckles is a total health fanatic and is so disgusted by Sonic and Tails' favourite foods (chilli-dogs and mint candy) that he does everything possible to get them to eat more fruit and veggies like a paternal older brother.
This is a bit meta, but I headcanon that Iblis was originally gonna be the Sol Dimension's version of Perfect Chaos. If you look at their designs they have very similar reptilian features. I also think 06's future plot was gonna take place in Blaze's home but that the plot was scrapped for what we got instead. This would explain why Blaze was in 06 but hadn't done much of anything in the game. The game would've been about her but Sonic Team hadn't had time to fully flesh out the plot because of the deadline. Back onto lore, take into consideration that Iblis is a fire creature and Blaze being a pyrokinetic. I think in the original 06 plot Iblis was gonna be sealed inside Blaze's forehead gem and then was gonna be awakened by some disaster. She was gonna have similar visions to what Elise saw during the Festival of the Sun that heralded Iblis' reawakening and Sonic would somehow get involved and work with her to stop it from happening.
Funny enough, this isn't the first time I heard the idea of Blaze and Elise being a composite character, but I like it. Hell, Iblis/Solaris, being her world's version of Chaos, would've made more sense for an antagonist than Eggman Nega.
One headcanon I had in recent years is the the reason that Knuckles can easily leave Angel Island whenever he wants is that Chaos exists within the Master Emerald and has kinda taken over as the Master Emerald's guardian. (Although it is probably debunked by Frontiers and the IDW comics showing that Knuckles is still the guardian of Master Emerald)
My headcanon is that Gerald didn't just make the biolizard as the only prototype, but he made multiple prototypes before getting to Shadow. But when G.U.N invaded the Space Colony Ark, they also took the potentially dangerous prototypes and locked them away in either the base that was blown up in SA2, or other bases that were around the world. And that some of those prototypes even escaped those bases giving themselves their own lives to live.
That could work.. But honestly I think that most of them would've died in the early stages of development or shortly after being "finished"conisdering the shitty state the biolizard's in.(like you can see the life support gizmo's hooked up to him and I have a guess to what all that brown liquid stuff is during his bossfight) And we know that he was at least one of the final prototypes before black hedgehog man. then after some trial and error, Shadow was completed (with the help of some aliens, of course)
One head cannon I’ve always had was that the time eater is a fragmented piece of Mephiles from 06, I like to think that at the end of 06, Mephiles as Solaris in one last ditch effort to survive had tried to separate himself into different forms and fling them across time in hopes of being able to regain some power and bring himself back together, however when Elise erased Solaris and reset the timeline most of those pieces had gotten erased too but some had been stuck in between time and space, with those pieces losing power and beginning to revert to more primal states like how mephiles was just a black smoke back when he split. Then when the black hole at the end of Colors that was able to send the wisps home, it was strong enough to create a gateway in that in between of time and space allowing one of the mephiles fragments to escape which Eggman stumbles upon. However the fragment had reverted enough to look like an between version of the black shadow mephiles and regular mephiles, and only being able to use his time travel powers after being in stasis for so long. I know this sounds really convoluted and complicated but I’ve always liked this idea and thought it could be a neat way to bring back mephiles if Sega ever thought about doing it
Not so much as a headcanon more of a fanfiction idea, I believe that Tails has more power inside him than we think. It is well-known that tails was based off of the Kitsune from Japanese mythology. Perhaps in the future Tales could grow 7 extra tails and become an all-powerful nine-tailed fox
I would love to see a mystical element to tails, if we're going full fanfic maybe a full tails spin off with a new mcguffin (male super hogs only thanks mandates) that introduces that kitsune side, maybe invite Amy along it would be the perfect environment for her. Sega has a real banger of a mystical world that I feel we've only scratched the surface of. That said I do love tails mechanical side and would love to see how he could integrate it. Maybe some CD good future influences.
I would like that to be his new super form. And yes I know about the mandates, but it said only male hedgehogs could go Super, doesn't stop the Emeralds from granting Tails a non-"super" form that is called something else. Like think Mystic Tails for example.
When I saw Shadow for the first time, I thought he was Sonic's lost father because he went to buy some milk but he actually went to an important space quest, died but Eggman revived him and gave to Shadow a second chance to be a good father, that's why Eggman tries to be a good one in Frontiers, because his grandpa's creation wasn't capable to be, but also because Eggman's father left him when he was young, that's Sonic's state with his father figure, so if this was true for no goddam reason, they wouldn't be that different, as they would suffered the same childhood trauma.
The crisis city being speed highway headcanon is pretty cool, but it’s also proven wrong. Crisis City is in Soleanna, proven by Omega being there, Eggman’s lab in the future, and of course, the gamer pad being the same computer room from right outside White Acropolis’s mirror.
I’ve never heard that one about chaos and the werehog being related 😲 nice take. The correlations with the chaos emeralds both losing their colours was interesting I’ve never noticed that before
You should definitely make this a series, i want to see more cool and funny awful headcannons, my favourite is the Moon/Ark one. This should be actual cannon.
These headcanons are pretty damn cool to read through honestly. Bigsleeter's was so fucking funny LMAO The Gerald being inspired by the Sonic 3 mural headcanon was pretty damn cool honestly because that could honestly work. I may be one of the only Sonic fans that doesn't really HAVE a headcanon.
For my own head canon, The Freedom Fighters are canon. Morio Kishimoto said he wants to consider them, and perhaps they were childhood friends. After all, we do never see where Sonic came from, or when he first met Eggman.
@@Banana807 I can agree with that we don't need to know where Sonic is from, but if IDW can for some reason be canon, the Freedom Fighter should to. They have been around as long as Tails and are important to Sonic's history.
The thing is, Sega and Sonic Team don't want anything to do with the Archie characters after the Ken Penders debacle(s), so this ain't happening any time soon, and I'm honestly ok with that, I never thought they fit in with the rest of the cast very well. Like, the IDW gang looks like characters that Yuji Uekawa would come up with. But a mf like Antoine?? Hell, the ONLY Archie Sonic character that could ever look natural alongside the rest of the cast is Sally and maybe that walrus guy, but no one else, way too Warner Bros.
@@bowserbreaker2515 I was talking about visuals really, I haven't read Archie or IDW, but in terms of fitting in with the world, the Archie cast doesn't.
I have a headcanon is that Sonic has a family on Christmas Island, including his brother Manic and sisters Sonia and Tania. The reason we never see them is because he’s been so caught up in adventure and fighting Eggman that he hasn’t found time to see them. Actually that could make for an interesting game idea
A personal headcanon of mine is one regarding Blaze. The job of a princess must be hard and tiresome. I like to imagine that she travels to Sonic’s dimension for vacation. Whenever we see her in Sonic’s world like during Sonic’s birthday in Generations or the racing spin-offs, she’s on one of her scheduled off days. She would leave someone she trusts to do the paperwork and protect the Sol Emeralds, likely letting Marine help with protecting the kingdom. Then she travels and has some much needed down time hanging out with Sonic and friends. Maybe that’s how she met Silver. Also Sonic CD takes place after Sonic 2, but at the same time as Tails Adventure, explaining why the two are on their own in both games. That’s another personal headcanon.
@@yay29823 It’s hard for me to understand why people are perplexed by the fact the two are alone in each, as if they have to be attached at the hip. No solo adventures apparently. I imagine Tails goes off on his own journey to prove that he can do it all by himself, his own way. And while Tails goes it alone for a little bit, Sonic notices Eggman / Robotnik’s schemes on Little Planet. With Tails far away and unable to assist him, he has to make his journey on Little Planet a solo mission.
I like the Idea that silver got into the modern timeline not because of his own choice, but because the time eater forced him there, so he's stuck in the past now. Idk what timeline he would come from, probably the end of '06 because he thinks sonic is a fake in generations, but it's just a neat idea to explain how silver gets there. Also I have to address that in TSR and a Forces comic he does mention going back in time, but who knows those could both easily be de-cannonised.
4:39 ok but perfect chaos and the werehog transformation being 1 in the same for the fact they both use negative/dark gaia energy is rlly smart?? and i think it makes alot of sense, considering ur mention of the drained chaos emeralds. u just make a rlly compelling case man :3
I always thought the chaos emeralds were actually just shards of the super emeralds, and that is why the super emeralds are broken before you collect them
To expand upon the connection between Chaos and the werehog, both have the ability to extend their arms pretty far. My main Sonic headcanon is that Planet Wisp is Little Planet. The Lost Hex is also Little Planet, but from after the Death Egg MkII situation, causing it to be fragmented into hexagons. Not to mention that the Death Egg MkII has hexagons featured heavily in its design.
Some of these headcanons were such good ones and some of them I never would have thought. I'm so glad you made this video because, OH BOY, these were really good headcanons! 😁
I am gonna say that yes I do agree Sonic and Shadow are the same speed, IDW also confirmed that Shadow literally needs his rocket shoes to run fast at all. Also I don't have many headcanons, other than Team Chaotix is a song that plays on the radio to advertise the detective agency
Up until Sonic Dimensions came out, I believed that all cats have some sort of dimensional jumping ability in sonic. I.E. Blaze being from another dimension, Honey being originally from Fighting Vipers, and Big being all over the SA2B levels
A headcanon that I firmly believe made me completely lose it and was my entrance into terminal Sonic Fan syndrome is: Mephiles is behind Time Eater AND the Phantom Ruby as a revenge plan for his defeat in '06. After the "2006 incident," he was vanished into non-existence, so using whatever scraps remained of his power he created the Null Space (which the Phantom Ruby, to an onlooker, nominally "cooked up." More on that later!), which it's why it's empty instead of being an ancient void full of ruins, and has been slowly regenerating his power there ever since his defeat in a now alternate timeline. Eventually, he attempts to take revenge on the main 3 that wrecked his world through the Time Eater: An underling ripe for the taking by Eggman, who at the time was flung into deep space (post-Colors) and wouldn't have a choice BUT to take the Time Eater. This is supported by the fact the ONLY characters not frozen into statues were Sonic, Shadow, and Silver; the ones that stripped him from his power and condemned him to a darkness outside his control. After Time Eater was vanquished, Mephiles would wait before trying again. The Phantom Ruby, possibly using a regenerated part of himself to basically have power over reality like him to an extent, since he's just the mind. (Illusions DON'T have a mass to wack you around, nor blast exploding lasers without an illusive field, so it's reality-bending) He would now attempt to cause as much havok as he could, now also messing with the Classic Sonic who helped foil his previous scheme, now also on his sights (Mania as an alternate timeline theory.) No one lashes against his plans and gets off scott-free. Ever since the one vulnerable to "Valtron's" power was vanquished as well, and Eggman also failed to finish the fight, he has gone back into planning. God help us stop whatever new plan he has next. Also, both Time Eater and the Phantom Ruby are purple like Mephiles. That's a cool visual motif.
I personally have a headcanon that Knuckles can shrink the Master Emerald in order to keep it safe whenever he leaves Angel Island (based on one of the cutscenes in SA2 where he pulls it out of his "pocket" and it's much smaller than normal). Either that, or the "Chaos guards it while he's away" theory.
I'm also down for both of those but another possibility is that after being forced to track down the Master Emerald pieces in Adventure 1 he was shown to have full confidence in his "Emerald Radar" by Adventure 2 so if it was ever moved an inch he could probably tell from anywhere. As of Adventure 2 he was shown to have used info learned from Tikal to become a little more attuned to the Master Emerald's power instead of just guarding it because it's his role so perhaps any attempts to tap into that power could also be sensed via his "Emerald Radar" now. Pair all that with (over?)confidence in his own ability to drop whatever task he agreed to leave his post to help with and put a stop to any attempted misuse and as an last resort (because I imagine he'd have too much pride to ask any sooner) he could rely on Sonic to help him restore normalcy.
i strongly headcanon that the master emerald essentially raised knuckles due to there being no other entity around to do so. it's stated in a few places that knuckles was born alone, that he's been the only person up on angel island since his inception, yet he's perfectly capable of communicating with other people, which shouldn't be possible if he's never spoken to another person or had anyone around to teach him how to speak. saying that the master emerald "raised" him fills in a lot of confusing holes in his backstory. and we already know as fact that the m.e is sentient.
I have 2. The silly one is that boom was just a dream, this has no reason. It is just funny. The more serious one is that Sonic had repressed emotions, think about it, he doesn't show much emotion besides happiness, with some sass which makes him happy. In fact this is why he still sounded happy-ish when tails git captured in lost world. But in frontiers he finnaly stopped, because he grew up and realized it wasn't good for his mental health. And as for why he started, it started in Heros after Shadow died.
my headcanon was that the chaos energy that Sonic had interacted with in S3&K permanently changed him. it’s why he’s able to hit mach speeds so fast now in the modern games, as well as why he retained the green eye color. this may or may not be canon, idk sonic lore that much, but i always thought this was true in my little child brain
Shadow physically grew up in the ark, and I mean he was a baby once. The same goes to Maria, they grew up like siblings. Also I think the sol emeralds were once earth's, but they were sealed away to another dimension. The latter statement is more of theory, but that doesn't make it less of a headcannon.
@@x-mighty7602 Yeah he was created, already in his immortal physical prime and Maria was already an older kid/pre-teen at the time of Shadow's creation as shown in the cutscene of her playing with Abraham (Young G.U.N Commander) meaning Shadow couldn't have spent more than a year possibly two on the ARK before the tragedy.
Holy shit I just realized! in the comics, when Sonic first turned into the Werehog. He was going through a lot of stress and emotions, and at night after the transformation, he went on a rampage, “letting his demons get to him” as you said. So this very well could actually be true, and I now have a new headcanon. 👍
My head cannon about the head cannon of Shadow being based on the Sonic 3 mural, is that Sonic is the true Ultimate Lifeform as foretold by the Echidnas, and Shadow is based off of that foretold Ultimate Lifeform. And the reason why Gerald made the Biolizard to be the Ultimate Lifeform, was because of mistranslating some of the sacred texts into thinking that they were referring to Perfect Chaos as the Ultimate Lifeform.
I always though gerald found the echidna mural in mystic ruins and modeled the biolizard off of perfect chaos, and when that failed, he kept searching, found angel island, and modeled shadow from super sonic
@@thegeth4293 I like that, but I still think it’s a bit weird to say the Biolizard is supposed to be Perfect Chaos when they don’t look very similar. I guess it can be seen as the Biolizard project was such a failure at everything, they couldn’t even replicate Perfect Chaos’ look. (At least Shadow has his quills go up, and can harness chaos energy)
I'm definitely super misremembering but I honestly thought Gerald getting inspiration from the Sonic 3 Murals was a detail in surprisingly Sonic X. It's otherwise an amazing headcanon regardless just because that's probably the best way for Gerald to make someone like Shadow without knowing Sonic directly.
Less head canon and more of a theory, but I think its interesting enough to post. The End is Order incarnate. It states it brings the Chaos of existence to Order. Although order is viewed as positive, I believe the Order The End brings is Entropy, when all things reach a state of Equilibrium. This is also why The End is infinite, it's not a physical thing, its a concept imposing its will upon reality.
Second headcanon: The Chaos Emeralds and the extinction of the Ancients (literally) re-shaped the world. The Starfall Islands, South Island, West Side Island, and Angel Island (the latter three causing confusion even as far back as the Classic era for all allegedly being the true "home" of the Chaos Emeralds) used to be one land mass. Whatever catastrophic, radioactive event occurred that ended up wiping out the Ancients initially broke the Starfall Islands off from the rest of these islands. Then, later on, Chaos' initial rampage against the Echidnas caused such wild changes in sea levels that they ended up forming three distinct islands altogether, which is why they ALL are, in a way, the true "home" of the Chaos Emeralds.
In a way to expand your head cannon about the Werehog and Perfect Chaos being the same, Dark Gaia's energy are dark thoughts themselves, and Chaos Energy are made of different kinds of thoughts (SA1 explained it, I think). And, since Dark Gaia is the representation of Dark thoughts incarnate (notice how the people in all countries are noticibly saddened/angered/having bad thoughts during the night, when Dark Gaia's influence is stronger, and during the day, they're more happy go lucky during the day [which I suppose is because of Chip, Light Gaia, is there, but that's a whole can of worms]), we could interpret that the Werehog is the game's Dark Sonic. The reason why it didn't turn him evil like in Sonic X for example, it's because how Eggman reverts the polarity of the Emeralds when he fires at the earth, Sonic wasn't having Dark thoughts, but rather forced to used it (the Guide for Unleashed does explicitly state that Dr Eggman reverted the polarity of the Emeralds). But anyway, I wanted to point some points for this headcannon, which I share and love the concept of, because it brings a new meaning for the Negative Energy of the Chaos Emeralds, being that the Energy would be capable of distorting the user's mind and image into a monster, just as how hatred and anger can make a person become a monster.
Also I find the take that Dark Chaos specifically is the one that turn people into monsters, as it's basically just "Dark power is bad", which is just lame. I like to think the positive said can also turn people into monsters, simply it's much rarer for that to happen. How a monster born from the positive energy look like? Fleetwood basically. A monster only capable of feeling positive emotions, without negative ones such as sadness, grief, and regret. Committing atrocities without feeling an ounce of shame.
One head cannon I have is that at the end of sonic colors when he’s caught by the black home and the wisps save him, he’s actually sent to the subspace emissary, which is how he got there.
Weird headcannon: The reason that everyone's eyes are coloured instead of being all black from Adventure on is that the Chaos Emeralds, after both being abused by Robotnik and used by Sonic so many times, had a world-altering reaction, causing everyone's eyes to have colour, among other things. I also think that the classic and modern timelines are one in the same, Classic Sonic can talk (he's just kinda shy), Mighty 🥹, Ray, and other predominantly classic characters do exist in the modern timeline (they just don't really show up), and the Sonic OVA (to some degree) is canon to the mainline series.
I chose to view the eye color change as a simple change in artstyle. Why does classic have black eyes in generations? To differentiate him from modern, the differences only exist for us the players to know which sonic we're looking at. In universe, classic just looks like a smaller, brighter colored Sonic fir the modern gang, while modern would look like a bigger, darker colored classic.
14:10 in Adventure Sonic and Tails weren't together in the beginning, so CD could've happened between 3k and Adventure, in fact most games don't have Sonic and Tails together in the beginning like SA1' SA2' Peak, 06 and Unleashed, it was only in Sonic 2, 3, Colors and Lost World where Tails is with Sonic from the first cutscene
My favourite headcannon is one I found scrolling Twitter comments which for the life of me I cannot find. Basically a user described how Cd simultaneously takes place before Sonic 2 and after 3&K by having Robotnik from 3&K come into contact with Sonic shortly after Sonic 1 and before 2 due to some time stone shenanigans. Both have already met and it allows Metal to be created more so though Robotnik’s genius and evolution of the mecha line to create something sleeker and fast rather than something more representative of a brawler. Should I remember where I saw this I’ll post the link but yeah
I always figured that Sonic COULD use all the same chaos powers as Shadow, but using them requires an outside source of chaos energy like one of the Emeralds (or a fake one).
@@gearstorm_8732 i think silver got his chaos control from both sonic and shadow because hes their grandson. Sonic and amy had a kid, shadow and rouge had a kid, and those kids had silver. He's grey with 2 giant head quills (almost like bat ears) has white chest chest fur, has 2 shark fin quils on his back like sonic, and can use chaos control, and a stubborn protective nature.... Who does that sound like a combination of??
Alrighty, Headcanons... 1: Some of the Ancients who were on-world when the End carved their planet in half: survived. The End carved through the equator, so the ones on the farther poles may have had a chance, but without the Chaos Emeralds, they had to get inhumanely creative to survive. The result? The Black Arms. 2: Ship headcanon: Sonaze 3: The reason Shadow's behavior plummeted so much is because during Forces and after Episode Shadow, Infinite recruited by REALLY messing with his. Imagine the Shadow game's multiple routes, but it's an illusion of choice since Infinite can adjust Shadow's perceptions on a whim. 4: In Sonic CD, Sonic failed to get the final Time Stone until Metallic Madness and didn't find the robot generator, that way Stardust Speedway can have a bad future while the overall game still gets the good ending. 5: While Sonic's timeline is 1, CD, 2, 3, Eggman's is 1, 2, 3, CD. He only ever appears in the boss levels(which are always in the Future) and Metal is more durable than Mecha, unable to be hurt by Sonic directly during that race. 6: There is a Chaos Force, but it's different than in Archie, where it was kind of like the Star Wars force. This version is instead the source of every chaotic weirdness in the series. Loops in cities? Continuity errors, plot holes, and retcons? All Chaos Force, defying the natural order of cause and effect.
A headcanon I recently came up with is that Origins is actually not canonically the same set of adventures that happened on the Genesis, with the Sonic we currently know as Modern Sonic. My take is that Origins is the Generations Classic Sonic's own version of those adventures.
@@qwertyzillaofficial2969 Not necessarily. Sonic CD never had a concrete place in the timeline until Origins, and furthermore, we have no way to fit the Game Gear games into the timeline if the original Genesis games were back to back.
Not a head cannon but how does every single location ( As far as canon games ) tie in together? How does a cartoony planetoid ( Lost Hex ) manage to co-exist with realistic uncharted islands ( Starfall Islands ) as well as Station Square, Spagonia, the classic era’s zones or Pumpkin Hill? If someone made an “ Open-World “ game where all the locations tie in then what would it look like? The lore is so messed up but that’s what makes it interesting
i like to headcanon that shadow eats a lot of inedible things, first of all cause he can since he’s somewhat immortal and second of all he grew up in space so he didn’t really get any fresh food there either. shadows snacks range from relatively edible things like raw spaghetti to straight up asphalt. team dark goes to a rave (it was rouge’s idea) and shadow just starts tearing glowsticks apart and eating them. once vanilla made him box mac and cheese and he started crying
Considering that all the Classic Games (Barring Mania) are canon to both the Classic and Modern worlds, I believe that the modern counterpart of Mighty either was significantly injured or straight up died after a close encounter with Metal Sonic Kai, hence his absence from future games. It's also probably why Knuckles and the Chaotix do not interact with each other or mention anything relating to the game, they're still mourning, and don't want to remember the way they failed to prevent the incident. If its a bit of a stretch, that's because I'm using the headcanon as part of my AU fan project lmao
I would love to see Modern Mighty, he's such a cool character. I feel like MIghty and Ray would have a similar relationship as Sonic and Tails, but their Modern versions would actually be older versions of them, like a more serious Mighty and a very adventurer/curious Ray or something like that If Modern Mighty were badly injured I would imagine Ray being on his side all the time, taking care of him (and that's why he doesn't appear either)
My headcanon is that sonic became modern sonic by mutating from being around the chaps emeralds so much. In his hyper form from Sonic 3, he has green eyes and a sort of double jump, both of which he got from being around so much chaos energy that he just transformed into an invincible god. Over time sonic racked up so much exposure to chaos energy that he started to adopt some of these traits from the hyper form, giving him green eyes and a double jump in the form of the homing attack, turning him into modern sonic. Every time sonic gains a new ability is because he's been around a huge amount of chaos energy, mutating him into an even stronger hedgehog, kinda like how chaos gains new forms. He got the boost because of the surge of chaos energy from being depowered in the opening scene of sonic unleashed. Something similar actually happened in the Archie comics where after finding a new form in ultra sonic, sonic would turn back to normal only to have his signature modern, green eyes.
I think that Little Planet is, in the current timeline, doomed to the Bad Future. I saw a video sorta talking about this, but basically, I believe the Good Future ending is the canonical one, BUT, in Generations, Eggman says he reversed his past mistakes. Hence why when you fight Metal Sonic, it’s in the Bad Future of Stardust Speedway. And unless taking out the Time Eater reverted everything back to normal, Little Planet is headed for the Bad Future. And maybe in a future game, Sonic will have to go back and change everything back to the Good Future. I doubt that though. Really, I just want a proper sequel to Sonic CD more than anything.
I have a headcanon that the color of the energy Shadow uses (like in the spears and teleportation and stuff) changes based on whether he has a chaos emerald or not. In the comics, his energy is green and in the games it’s orange/gold but sometimes it’s animated red. So I figured that I would organize it, so it’s green with a chaos emerald, gold without, and red uninhibited. Ik that the fact that he (probably) doesn’t have a chaos emerald in the comics disproves my headcanon, but I still like it
I have a few head canons. 1: Sage was a real person and was the daughter of Eggman before he became a villain. She died at some point. Eggman created Saga to try and bring his daughter back, and then did it again after Frontiers. 2: Mania and the Game Gear games take place in an alternate timeline created after Generations. So Tails saying “You’re that Sonic from another dimension” actually makes a little bit of sense (that was still a stupid line). 3: Sonic and Knuckles got their powers from the Chaos Emeralds/Master Emerald. They were chosen ones if you will. 4: Silver is a distant relative of Shadow (and Amy, since I’m a Shadamy shipper). 5: Just like Spider-Man and Tmnt, every version of Sonic whether that be the games, movies, comics, tv shows, est exist in the same multiverse. I’m hoping for a Spiderverse like crossover with Sonic in Prime. 6: The Time Eater was created by the black hole at the end of Colors.
Idk if this is a headcanon cause it may or may not have been confirmed in some way, but my headcanon is that the way Sonic’s speed works is the same way human speed works, just at a much higher level. By this, I mean that-like humans-Sonic can always try to fast as run as he can, and he’s always capable of reaching a brand new top speed. This is as opposed to beliefs that Sonic can always run at a set speed, for example, the speed of sound. He’s a lot like humans in that he just runs as fast as he can at the moment. The only differences are that he can run much faster than humans, and he has a much higher endurance, hence why he has a boost meter. When not boosting; he’s running while pacing himself, hence why he can run endlessly like that.
here's mine: Eggman's pyramid base (as well as all of the desert levels) in SA2 take place in Angel Island after Rouge stole the Master Emerald before the game starts. As far we can observe within the game, we never see Angel Island anywhere, and Knuckles and Rouge are fighting at an altar located near Eggman's pyramid base before Knuckles' first stage. So, it makes sense to me that they're actually over a fallen Angel Island that crashlanded around near Pumpkin Hill. The Pyramid Eggman uses as his base in this game could be very well an unseen section of Sandopolis Sonic and Knuckles never got to visit on their 2D games.
I feel like the super emeralds thing is just straight up true. I mean yea in 3 and Knuckles you have to collect the emeralds again but I feel like that's just a gameplay/ux thing and not how it actually is lore wise.
I never played Adventure 2 (or any other Sonic game aside from the 1st one and the ones on the internet at the time) and as a kid i was introduced to Shadow by the Sonic videos on RUclips. I thought he was his older long lost brother seperated at birth or something.
15:45 (my headcanon) the reason why Eggman doesn't make more metal sonics (or expands on the idea) is because he was betrayed by metal sonic in sonic heros and we all know how that went (bro imagine a whole army of metal sonics 💀), or its just to hard to make another metal sonic
A personal headcanon of mine that could actually be canon is that the entirety of the series happens in a span of 7 years: 4 between the classic games and Sonic Adventure, 5 in Sonic Generations due to Sonic's birthday party, 6 in Sonic Forces due to the 6 months Sonic spend trapped in the Death Egg, and 7 when we reach Sonic Frontiers
I kinda late to the party but here’s my headcanon (it’s more so fanfiction then a headcanon but I’ll still share it anyways). I believe every character has their own unique chaos ability (like how Shadow’s ability is to summon chaos spears). The reason why most of the main cast can’t use them is because they either A) Don’t know how to tap into them yet, or B) Don’t have enough chaos energy in them to even use it. Things I would consider to be a chaos ability are Sonic’s Insta-Shield, Amy’s hammer (she can summon it from literally anywhere in Sonic X so it counts in my eyes), and possibly Silver’s psychokinesis. Things like chaos control would be like a universal chaos ability since all it takes is an emerald and a strong enough will to use them.
I always assumed Shadow was slightly slower than sonic and compensated for it with chaos control/more understanding of and using the energy of the chaos emeralds. But only slightly slower However I do think Shadow may be physically stronger or at least better combat wise which is one way he's able to stay even whenever up against sonic (There also is the implication from 06 that Shadow is holding back his full power for some reason as well take that however you will)
I have 2 here so: - I really like the idea that sonic in forces was tired of the long quill look and just shaved half of it off and all his friends hate it but it takes really long to grow back. -I know this one’s kinda flawed but it would’ve been really cool if the avatar was actually mute and that’s why they don’t speak.
Soleanna is on the same country as Spagonia and Apotos, the continent Empire City is on also contains Station Square, Central City/City Escape, Mystic Ruins, and Angel Island and Sky Sanctuary were definitely part of the Starfall Islands as one ginormous ancient continent
technically not fully my head canon but i always imagined sonic got the tornado as a gift from some form of family on Christmas island where he was born. i like to think it was this continuities version of uncle chuck but i can also see an alternate version of Longclaw as well.
My one headcanon is that Sonic is aroace (aromantic asexual), and thus not interested in any romantic or sexual endeavors, but puts a lot of value in his friendships. I also could probably say something about my main bot Metal, but I can't think of anything right now.
@@qwertyzillaofficial2969 Fine by me, I'm not against Sonic in relationships, I personally find Sonaze pretty cute, however, I also think the concept of a Sonic that doesn't feel the need or desire for these emotions quite interesting and fitting. What sucks is that it most like wouldn't ever be officially explored, in a way other than "he's 2 cool 4 love 😎" instead of making it a deeper part of who he is, and something significant to him. My only complaint when it comes to Sonic in relationships is that him being married with kids during the Archie comics is kinda weird, but that might be because I just never read those, so, idk.
Entretaining video, personally i believe that the best headcanons are those that not only don't contradict the oficial canon but also enhance it and the second best headcanons are those who simply don't contradict the canon.
My head canon is that the phantom ruby is a chunk of The End that fell off it during it's final battle against the ancients, or maybe one of The End's attacks that fell into Earth. The end talked about being infinite and bringing order, order is the opposite of chaos, the phantom ruby is said to be a counter to the chaos emeralds and Infinite used the phantom ruby. Also, the end's primary attacks are red. The End also has a similar color to the phantom ruby
Head canon ranking and ways to disprove them! _THIS_ _WILL_ _BE_ _FUN_ 1:58 Argument: shadow and sonic are relatively at the same speed, however naturally sonic is faster. Shadow is only sonics equal in speed when wearing the hover skates/ rocket shoes. Without him he can’t keep up. Otherwise I agree that with them he is equal. 3:09 I won’t argue, this is a good headcanon that I can’t really dispute. 5:00 I don’t need to disprove this lol 6:39 I won’t try to dispute this because it’s dumb to even attempt to argue it. Nothing can strongly disprove this. I honestly I don’t want to. Neat headcanons. 15:20 I’ll argue against this since in chaotix robotnik created a entirely new metal sonic body and just transferred his AI into it, creating metal sonic Kai
I have a headcanon right now and my headcanon is that there might be MULTIPLE Master Emeralds, the reason I think this is bc if u go to Ares, and visit one of the Ruins, u can find an Emerald that’s broken and falling apart, one that looks exactly like the Master Emerald, making me think that there might be 7 Master Emeralds, which also brings me to another theory that the starfall islands were part of an island group with Angel Island, that I named The Angel Islands, the reason why I think that is because of the last theory of there being multiple Master Emeralds. u need the Master Emerald to make Angel Island float, meaning that Kronos and Ares may have floated before that as well since we see that broken Master Emerald on Ares, Chaos Island is also stated to be a floating Island above the clouds, meaning there might be a hidden Master Emerald on that Island, however, it might’ve lost power bc of that attack that we see in those Story Book like cutscenes, but that’s just my headcanon
I may have missed my opportunity to share my headcanon before, so instead I shall share it here. The Chaos Emeralds are evolving Sonic the more he uses them. Sonic started off in the classic games with black eyes, while only Super Sonic had green eyes. Later on, Sonic would gain green eyes, and Super Sonic's eyes would change to red. This means Sonic's eyes would possibly change red in the far future. (I believe the Fleetway comics actually touched on this concept.) And in terms of Power, they increase his base power the more he uses them. Example, in Sa1, They needed Super Sonic to defeat Perfect Chaos, and even then it was a dicy fight. But in Sonic Generations, Modern Sonic manages to beat Perfect Chaos in the exact same amount of hits, like it's nobody else's business. He's very visibly on par with Sa1 Super Sonic in terms of power. And now with Frontiers, we can see that Super Sonic too is also getting stronger, now having the ability to conjure energy chains, as well as Green Lantern-esc illusions. That's my personal headcanon, and an explanation for Sonic's continued growth in both speed and power.
To add to the crisis City headcanon, if speed highway is just station square as an action stage, wouldn't crisis City actually be station square in the future
While playing Frontiers, i thougth it would be cool that, the more Sonic got infected with that cyberspace thing, he got more capable of interacting and controlling cyberspace-related stuff, thats why vs Wivern, he manages to ¿change? the trajectory of the missiles at the last second, and vs Knight he can ride his shield and wield his sword. While in the Giganto fight, he just beat him up.(Also while playing the final "The End" section,i thought Sonic was controlling Supreme, but it ended up not being the case xd)
13:31 This theory makes even more sense when you consider the fact that Sonic attempted to save Shadow. If memory serves my correctly, Sonic gave Rouge Shadow’s inhibitor rings. This leads me to believe he tried and failed to save Shadow. The reality hit that he couldn’t save everyone. Plus, it was likely the first he’d ever witnessed someone die, especially someone he knew.
14:53 I’m also pretty sure Crisis City is a dystopian Soleanna. It honestly makes more sense given the setting of the entire game and the vision Elise sees around the beginning of Sonic’s story.
13:11 I love this. I think Iizuka said sonic saw something else we, the player, did (don't @me) but I wouldn't mind if this straight up became the cannon
While I've heard that the reason the past, present, and future stages all appear so differently in Sonic CD is that time flows super quickly on Little Planet, I always kind of preferred the way I first interpreted it where Eggman used the time stones to travel back thousands or maybe even hundreds of thousands of years in Little Planet's past to place his generators so that he could have already gained control of Little Planet by the present. Similarly, I think it's cool to imagine the past being so long ago and the future being so far ahead in the future. The more primitive style of the past fits a lot better with such a large gap than, say, just that month when Little Planet touched down again.
One headcannon I always had as a kid was that the dark Gaia creatures were the ones who built the little snowmen and snow deer that are in the night level for Holoska.
As a Sonic Unleashed connoisseur, I can confirm this is DEFINITELY canon.
YES
Yeah their minions of the most evil thing in the game (I mean dark Gaia is pure darkness in a way) but they deserve to play in snow
eh?
I used to think Tails wanted to eat Sonic, that's why he chased him in Sonic 2
Hahaha wtf
WHAT LMFAOO
Wtf
I mean... he is a fox.
Oh I get it cause Foxes are Predators to Hedgehogs
I like to imagine that Amy was legally adopted by Vanilla when she was a kid.
The little gremlin that was Amy just wandered around one day, Vanilla was like “hey where are you parents” and Amy just stared at her blankly.
So Vanilla took legal custody over her.
So that means Amy would have been Cream’s adoptive sister. Very cute to imagine!
My headcanon is the Time Eater was not fully destroyed but sent to another dimension, kicking off the events of Superdimension Neptune vs SEGA Hard Girls. That too has a villain called the Time Eater that looks a lot like Perfect Chaos whose goal is to erase time and wipe all Sega consoles from history.
Almost like a way to finish Sonic off for good? Hmmm...
I was not expecting a headcanon involving Neptunia in here, but I sure like it.
btw, I like to think that the time eater was created after the wisp energy ran out of control at the end of Colors. Not just a random god (?) that Eggman randomly encountered.
A headcanon I heard that I like is the Time Eater is a fragment of Mephiles the Dark that survived the time reset at the end of Sonic 06.
@@nathanbass6843I always like to think remnants of Mephilis are still around (time eater, the end, etc.)
I like that one. I'll adopt that headcanon.
I always thought Sonic was a teenager. In the Genesis games, he was 12-13. In Adventure 1 he's 15 mostly because you can see remnants of his classic look. He's slightly talller but he's still pudgy like like classic look. From SA2 onwards, he's about 17 or 18. He's taller and lankier than he was in SA1.
Same here
When I was little I used to think Sonic was in his early twenties lol
I mean he IS a teenager that’s not really a head canon.
For me, he's in his early 20s in frontiers
How fricking old is sonic now then?
The last headcannon (Metal Sonic is Bad Future's Roboticized Sonic) is an old Sonic Theorist video about the exact same thing but presented as a theory.
Sonics transition to the modern design was just him growing up and buying contact lenses
His eyes to be fair did change in sonic 3 and knuckles
My favorite personal headcannon that I had when I first played sonic mania is that, sonic mania's events take place after sonic generations and not only that but at the end of sonic generations we see that classic sonic sonic tried to learn the homing attack right? Well I always thought of the drop dash as classic sonic's way of using the homing attack in a way, like, he tried to learn the homing attack but ended up creating his own move. It may be silly but thats a headcannon I always had that I loved.
ooh that's a good one, i like that. We can continue that by saying that sonic from frontiers is that same sonic and now we are in a separate timeline from the modern sonic in generations that showed him the homing attack.
There is also that one move in smash bros where sonic does a move that looks like the start of the drop dash but then turns into a homing attack.
It wasn't the homing attack modern was showing classic ,it was the boost/mid air boost. Which could still be true to your theory because if classic tried to use the boost mid air,he might make up the drop dash because it's like charging his own boost mid air and releasing on the ground
(Classic sonic could use the homing attack in generations,it was a skill you could buy at the shop)
well i mean
charging up energy in the middle of the air to go forward in the ground instead of in the air does sounds like a homing attack if you think about it
@Joshi but that doesn't make sense because Sonic would need to teach him how to boost first. It's like learning to run before you walk.
@@MonoDree or it could be the fact that since classic sonic, being a pass version of modern sonic upon learning to drop dash, The knowledge would transfer to modern’s mind
Personally, my favourite headcanon is that olympic games are fully canon. There was a Mario x Sonic crossover adventure at some unseen point, specifically around the time of Unleashed/Colours. And they just regularly meet up to play some sports ever since that adventure.
I’m pretty sure they are canon. All Mario games are canon including the spin-offs and it was confirmed that all Sonic games are also confirmed canon (except for 06 but that’s a whole ‘nother debate). So I’m pretty sure it is canon.
@@kirbyof590stars 06 is canon but because it happened it also didn't happen
@@neko_my_cat that’s what leads to a whole other debate. I agree with you 100% but it’s hard to explain to people with the brain of the size of a walnut that it happened but didn’t happen.
@@kirbyof590stars 06 is canon... it's canon that 06 didn't happen lol
@@sensha5470 Ik 💀 After Elise blew the candle, it’s like it never happened when it did…
My head cannon is that Sonic is the type of person who runs away from his own problems. When it comes to other people's problems he is more that happy to help, but when it comes to his own problems, he'd rather pretend they don't exist. It's why he is so seemingly happy all the time, because he doesn't want to deal with his own negative emotions so he bottles them away. If Sega ever allowed Dark Sonic to be cannon, then that could be the reason why he doesn't want to deal with his negative emotions. Because He turns into Dark Sonic because of his strong negative emotions. However bottling up his emotions only makes it worse.
Some of my headcannons
Dark Gaia and Solaris were the only two entities powerful enough to physically damage Super Sonic, which is why they can hit him and make him lose rings in their boss battles.
The Time Eater is a rogue fragment of Methilis which is why it was strong enough to need 2 super formed beings to combat it but couldn't damage them.
Shadow uses guns and other weapons in Shadow the Hedgehog because he forgot how to use Chaos Spear until the final battle at the end of the game but Shadow still trained with firearms even though he doesn't need them because he felt he should do the same training like any other member entering Gun even if they don't mandate him too.
I would say the Titans also can damage super Sonic, and the end too
The Titans can kill him with a single move if you fail the QTEs and with like three single shots (The amount of lives you have in the minigame/bullet hell boss fight) The End can destroy both Sage controlling the Titan and Super Sonic
My headcanon that Super's invincibility is just that, he's invincible. It isn't a matter of it being so strong almost nothing can hurt him like in Dragon Ball, a Super form straight cannot be hurt by normal means.
The only way to harm one is to somehow turn off his invulnerability (which is what Solaris does), pierce it with Negative Chaos Energy (which is what Dark Gaia does), or breaking the user's connection to the Emeralds (which is what Knuckles did in 3&K).
I like the third one 😭
Another head cannon I came up with: Another reason why Knuckles was so trusting of Eggman was because, his father told him about a person that his father, Knuckles’ Grandpa, met.
Who was a scientist and visited Angel Island just to learn about it’s culture and the emeralds, and had a big bushy mustache.
But without knowing Eggman’s, nor Gerald’s, ages, he assumed that Eggman was the scientist and quickly trusted him as he looked just like the drawings Knux’ grandfather made of him.
(If your wondering what happened to Knux’ father? Idk, he just walked into fire and went to haven or something, Idk)
I love that head canon. It also explains why a certain shrine is in a certain space colony.
I have quite a few headcanons:
-Sonic’s past was not a pleasant one. It’s also why his classic self is mute; he just doesn’t feel “safe” around people he doesn’t know well.
-When Tails, Cream, and Charmy grow older, they’ll start their own team together.
-If Silver and Chip ever met each other, they would get along great.
-Shadow cannot reproduce. This is due to his alien nature and his status as being the Ultimate Life Form; as such he can’t have kids with anyone since that wasn’t his purpose.
-The reason Blaze was in the future in 06 is because of time travel.
- Sonic’s family adopted Tails. Tails’ real parents are either neglectful or they’re dead. This is why Sonic and Tails have a brotherly bond.
-Sonic has some sort of connection to Chaos energy.
-In the Sonic Underground universe, Sonic and his siblings spent the rest of their lives fruitlessly fighting Robotnik, dying in the process. It’s only after their deaths when Queen Aleena finally reunited with them; crying in horror about what happened to them.
I’ll probably update this if I want to share more headcanons.
EDIT: aight here are more
-To contrast classic Sonic's muteness, classic Amy only spoke Japanese until she was taught it in order to communicate with others more. So before Amy met Sonic, she didn't actually speak English yet, only learning it from him later on. This is in reference to how CD has a lot of differences between the American and Japanese versions of the game.
-Cream and Vanilla's family has had a long history of using Chao as pets and/or weapons. Vanilla herself used to be a traveller much like Sonic and his friends, her Chao being Chocola, before eventually having Cream and giving her a Chao of her own (Cheese).
-Tikal and Maria would totally be pals if they ever met each other (although considering they're both... y'know, dead-sort of in Tikal's case-maybe they did meet each other).
-If the human characters were animals/mobians, I'd imagine Eggman being a bird (hey, it's a pun on his nickname), Elise being a cat, Maria being a rabbit, etc.
-Shadow sees Amy and Cream like sisters, especially the former since she reminded him of his promise to Maria.
-Blaze's parents are alive, hence the reason why Blaze is a princess instead of a queen; they just aren't around much and thus leave matters to their daughter (and she's capable of handling herself anyways).
-Only Silver remembers the events of 06. The reason behind this is either because Mephiles influenced him the most out of the characters in the game, or as a side-effect of the fight with Solaris doing *something* to him.
-It might be possible that Sonic is one of Silver's ancestors.
-Despite his past, classic Sonic actually thinks of his Eggman as a friend; he knows the bad things he's done, but can still see the good in him. As the years went on, however, Sonic started to lose hope in Eggman.
-Charmy either grew up with or was raised by Vector for most of his life. This is why he's always seen with both Vector and Espio and works with them despite him being a lot younger than them.
-Sonic has seen what the Internet has done to him (not a serious headcanon, but I thought it'd be funny).
-Adding to the last point, if Sonic.exe existed in the Sonic universe, I'd imagine him being an alien from a parallel world that happened to be similar to Sonic's, and he'd be a huge fan of the blue blur and his cocky attitude. As such, Sonic would be... pretty weirded out by him.
-Despite still being happy and outgoing all the time, Sonic has PTSD (possibly undiagnosed) because of all of his adventures and the various enemies he's faced, from Sonic 3 and Knuckles all the way to Frontiers. The only one who has any suspicion of this being the case is Tails.
that final headcanon is SAD man
damn
@@kaxcommentssomethingREAL yeah lol, kinda wanted to give a "conclusion" to Sonic Underground
Why do I like Sonic having PTSD so much. That's not cool, it's sad. Why do I like it
@@yay29823 Probably because it kind of makes sense when you think about it.
Before the "official ages" were removed, Sonic was stated to be 15 years old. He's only *fifteen*, and he's had to deal with multiple robots that were designed to outmatch him, a water deity that destroyed an entire city, a failed experiment in space, his robotic clone attempting to destroy him again, genocidal aliens that wanted to consume human life, a freaking GOD that could've destroyed all of reality, an evil genie, a sorceress who wanted her world to be essentially infinite, the embodiment of destruction, a malevolent force that could eat time itself, six alien-like beings that clearly weren't friendly, a corrupted jackal that had infinite power, and (spoilers for Frontiers below)
an old and powerful force that sought nothing but the destruction of everything.
Yeah, Sonic's gone through shit. Wouldn't surprise me if him having PTSD was actually the case.
Sonic wasn't mute in the classic games, also TF is the sonic underground one??
My favourite head-canon is Knuckles is a total health fanatic and is so disgusted by Sonic and Tails' favourite foods (chilli-dogs and mint candy) that he does everything possible to get them to eat more fruit and veggies like a paternal older brother.
This is a bit meta, but I headcanon that Iblis was originally gonna be the Sol Dimension's version of Perfect Chaos. If you look at their designs they have very similar reptilian features. I also think 06's future plot was gonna take place in Blaze's home but that the plot was scrapped for what we got instead. This would explain why Blaze was in 06 but hadn't done much of anything in the game. The game would've been about her but Sonic Team hadn't had time to fully flesh out the plot because of the deadline. Back onto lore, take into consideration that Iblis is a fire creature and Blaze being a pyrokinetic. I think in the original 06 plot Iblis was gonna be sealed inside Blaze's forehead gem and then was gonna be awakened by some disaster. She was gonna have similar visions to what Elise saw during the Festival of the Sun that heralded Iblis' reawakening and Sonic would somehow get involved and work with her to stop it from happening.
Sounds like a good idea for a remake
Funny enough, this isn't the first time I heard the idea of Blaze and Elise being a composite character, but I like it. Hell, Iblis/Solaris, being her world's version of Chaos, would've made more sense for an antagonist than Eggman Nega.
Blaze already HAD her fire powers BEFORE she sealed Iblis inside her. 🙄
R.I.P. Cess' headcanon ⚰️
One headcanon I had in recent years is the the reason that Knuckles can easily leave Angel Island whenever he wants is that Chaos exists within the Master Emerald and has kinda taken over as the Master Emerald's guardian. (Although it is probably debunked by Frontiers and the IDW comics showing that Knuckles is still the guardian of Master Emerald)
Would explain how he can sometimes leave for a bit though!! Maybe he can leave for a day or two yk?
My headcanon is that Gerald didn't just make the biolizard as the only prototype, but he made multiple prototypes before getting to Shadow. But when G.U.N invaded the Space Colony Ark, they also took the potentially dangerous prototypes and locked them away in either the base that was blown up in SA2, or other bases that were around the world. And that some of those prototypes even escaped those bases giving themselves their own lives to live.
That could work..
But honestly I think that most of them would've died in the early stages of development or shortly after being "finished"conisdering the shitty state the biolizard's in.(like you can see the life support gizmo's hooked up to him and I have a guess to what all that brown liquid stuff is during his bossfight) And we know that he was at least one of the final prototypes before black hedgehog man.
then after some trial and error, Shadow was completed (with the help of some aliens, of course)
One head cannon I’ve always had was that the time eater is a fragmented piece of Mephiles from 06, I like to think that at the end of 06, Mephiles as Solaris in one last ditch effort to survive had tried to separate himself into different forms and fling them across time in hopes of being able to regain some power and bring himself back together, however when Elise erased Solaris and reset the timeline most of those pieces had gotten erased too but some had been stuck in between time and space, with those pieces losing power and beginning to revert to more primal states like how mephiles was just a black smoke back when he split. Then when the black hole at the end of Colors that was able to send the wisps home, it was strong enough to create a gateway in that in between of time and space allowing one of the mephiles fragments to escape which Eggman stumbles upon. However the fragment had reverted enough to look like an between version of the black shadow mephiles and regular mephiles, and only being able to use his time travel powers after being in stasis for so long. I know this sounds really convoluted and complicated but I’ve always liked this idea and thought it could be a neat way to bring back mephiles if Sega ever thought about doing it
Not so much as a headcanon more of a fanfiction idea, I believe that Tails has more power inside him than we think. It is well-known that tails was based off of the Kitsune from Japanese mythology. Perhaps in the future Tales could grow 7 extra tails and become an all-powerful nine-tailed fox
now this is something i would love to see added in maybe a few games in the future!
that's an incredibly fun idea and i hope it can happen
sonic prime
I would love to see a mystical element to tails, if we're going full fanfic maybe a full tails spin off with a new mcguffin (male super hogs only thanks mandates) that introduces that kitsune side, maybe invite Amy along it would be the perfect environment for her.
Sega has a real banger of a mystical world that I feel we've only scratched the surface of. That said I do love tails mechanical side and would love to see how he could integrate it. Maybe some CD good future influences.
I would like that to be his new super form. And yes I know about the mandates, but it said only male hedgehogs could go Super, doesn't stop the Emeralds from granting Tails a non-"super" form that is called something else.
Like think Mystic Tails for example.
That's what happened in Archie And it wasn't as great as You think
When I saw Shadow for the first time, I thought he was Sonic's lost father because he went to buy some milk but he actually went to an important space quest, died but Eggman revived him and gave to Shadow a second chance to be a good father, that's why Eggman tries to be a good one in Frontiers, because his grandpa's creation wasn't capable to be, but also because Eggman's father left him when he was young, that's Sonic's state with his father figure, so if this was true for no goddam reason, they wouldn't be that different, as they would suffered the same childhood trauma.
The crisis city being speed highway headcanon is pretty cool, but it’s also proven wrong. Crisis City is in Soleanna, proven by Omega being there, Eggman’s lab in the future, and of course, the gamer pad being the same computer room from right outside White Acropolis’s mirror.
I’ve never heard that one about chaos and the werehog being related 😲 nice take. The correlations with the chaos emeralds both losing their colours was interesting I’ve never noticed that before
Its literally said in the manual but k
You should definitely make this a series, i want to see more cool and funny awful headcannons, my favourite is the Moon/Ark one. This should be actual cannon.
These headcanons are pretty damn cool to read through honestly. Bigsleeter's was so fucking funny LMAO
The Gerald being inspired by the Sonic 3 mural headcanon was pretty damn cool honestly because that could honestly work.
I may be one of the only Sonic fans that doesn't really HAVE a headcanon.
For my own head canon, The Freedom Fighters are canon. Morio Kishimoto said he wants to consider them, and perhaps they were childhood friends. After all, we do never see where Sonic came from, or when he first met Eggman.
I never want those questions to never be explained tbh, at least for game sonic, dont try to fix what isnt broken
@@Banana807 I can agree with that we don't need to know where Sonic is from, but if IDW can for some reason be canon, the Freedom Fighter should to. They have been around as long as Tails and are important to Sonic's history.
The thing is, Sega and Sonic Team don't want anything to do with the Archie characters after the Ken Penders debacle(s), so this ain't happening any time soon, and I'm honestly ok with that, I never thought they fit in with the rest of the cast very well.
Like, the IDW gang looks like characters that Yuji Uekawa would come up with. But a mf like Antoine?? Hell, the ONLY Archie Sonic character that could ever look natural alongside the rest of the cast is Sally and maybe that walrus guy, but no one else, way too Warner Bros.
@@pieofchart At least the Freedom Fighters aren't 2-dimensional and annoying like Tangle.
@@bowserbreaker2515 I was talking about visuals really, I haven't read Archie or IDW, but in terms of fitting in with the world, the Archie cast doesn't.
I have a headcanon is that Sonic has a family on Christmas Island, including his brother Manic and sisters Sonia and Tania. The reason we never see them is because he’s been so caught up in adventure and fighting Eggman that he hasn’t found time to see them.
Actually that could make for an interesting game idea
My headcannon is that after almost every game, sonic goes home, closes the door, and then flops onto the floor because he's exhausted.
A personal headcanon of mine is one regarding Blaze. The job of a princess must be hard and tiresome. I like to imagine that she travels to Sonic’s dimension for vacation. Whenever we see her in Sonic’s world like during Sonic’s birthday in Generations or the racing spin-offs, she’s on one of her scheduled off days. She would leave someone she trusts to do the paperwork and protect the Sol Emeralds, likely letting Marine help with protecting the kingdom. Then she travels and has some much needed down time hanging out with Sonic and friends. Maybe that’s how she met Silver.
Also Sonic CD takes place after Sonic 2, but at the same time as Tails Adventure, explaining why the two are on their own in both games. That’s another personal headcanon.
I love both of your headcanons, and I really dislike Tails Adventure and Sonic CD taking place before Sonic 2. Like, I STRONGLY dislike it
@@yay29823 It’s hard for me to understand why people are perplexed by the fact the two are alone in each, as if they have to be attached at the hip. No solo adventures apparently.
I imagine Tails goes off on his own journey to prove that he can do it all by himself, his own way.
And while Tails goes it alone for a little bit, Sonic notices Eggman / Robotnik’s schemes on Little Planet. With Tails far away and unable to assist him, he has to make his journey on Little Planet a solo mission.
I like the Idea that silver got into the modern timeline not because of his own choice, but because the time eater forced him there, so he's stuck in the past now.
Idk what timeline he would come from, probably the end of '06 because he thinks sonic is a fake in generations, but it's just a neat idea to explain how silver gets there.
Also I have to address that in TSR and a Forces comic he does mention going back in time, but who knows those could both easily be de-cannonised.
4:39 ok but perfect chaos and the werehog transformation being 1 in the same for the fact they both use negative/dark gaia energy is rlly smart?? and i think it makes alot of sense, considering ur mention of the drained chaos emeralds. u just make a rlly compelling case man :3
I used to think that the prototypes of Shadow the hedgehog (Specifically the concept art) would talk to him telepathically.
Here are two of my headcanons:
A) the time eater is what’s left of Solaris after 06
B) sonic’s boost comes from chaos energy
For B) would Blaze's boost come from "Sol energy" then?
I always thought the chaos emeralds were actually just shards of the super emeralds, and that is why the super emeralds are broken before you collect them
To expand upon the connection between Chaos and the werehog, both have the ability to extend their arms pretty far.
My main Sonic headcanon is that Planet Wisp is Little Planet. The Lost Hex is also Little Planet, but from after the Death Egg MkII situation, causing it to be fragmented into hexagons. Not to mention that the Death Egg MkII has hexagons featured heavily in its design.
Some of these headcanons were such good ones and some of them I never would have thought. I'm so glad you made this video because, OH BOY, these were really good headcanons! 😁
I am gonna say that yes I do agree Sonic and Shadow are the same speed, IDW also confirmed that Shadow literally needs his rocket shoes to run fast at all.
Also I don't have many headcanons, other than Team Chaotix is a song that plays on the radio to advertise the detective agency
Up until Sonic Dimensions came out, I believed that all cats have some sort of dimensional jumping ability in sonic. I.E. Blaze being from another dimension, Honey being originally from Fighting Vipers, and Big being all over the SA2B levels
You mean Lego Dimensions?
@@Swagpion I meant sonic prime
I'm pretty sure the Metal Sonic headcanon was deconfirmed.
One I had is that Fang had a fake chaos emerald in Fighters, but Tails used that as a base to make a duplicate/straight up used it, in SA2
A headcanon that I firmly believe made me completely lose it and was my entrance into terminal Sonic Fan syndrome is: Mephiles is behind Time Eater AND the Phantom Ruby as a revenge plan for his defeat in '06.
After the "2006 incident," he was vanished into non-existence, so using whatever scraps remained of his power he created the Null Space (which the Phantom Ruby, to an onlooker, nominally "cooked up." More on that later!), which it's why it's empty instead of being an ancient void full of ruins, and has been slowly regenerating his power there ever since his defeat in a now alternate timeline.
Eventually, he attempts to take revenge on the main 3 that wrecked his world through the Time Eater: An underling ripe for the taking by Eggman, who at the time was flung into deep space (post-Colors) and wouldn't have a choice BUT to take the Time Eater. This is supported by the fact the ONLY characters not frozen into statues were Sonic, Shadow, and Silver; the ones that stripped him from his power and condemned him to a darkness outside his control.
After Time Eater was vanquished, Mephiles would wait before trying again. The Phantom Ruby, possibly using a regenerated part of himself to basically have power over reality like him to an extent, since he's just the mind. (Illusions DON'T have a mass to wack you around, nor blast exploding lasers without an illusive field, so it's reality-bending) He would now attempt to cause as much havok as he could, now also messing with the Classic Sonic who helped foil his previous scheme, now also on his sights (Mania as an alternate timeline theory.) No one lashes against his plans and gets off scott-free.
Ever since the one vulnerable to "Valtron's" power was vanquished as well, and Eggman also failed to finish the fight, he has gone back into planning. God help us stop whatever new plan he has next.
Also, both Time Eater and the Phantom Ruby are purple like Mephiles. That's a cool visual motif.
I personally have a headcanon that Knuckles can shrink the Master Emerald in order to keep it safe whenever he leaves Angel Island (based on one of the cutscenes in SA2 where he pulls it out of his "pocket" and it's much smaller than normal).
Either that, or the "Chaos guards it while he's away" theory.
I'm down for both of those.
I'm also down for both of those but another possibility is that after being forced to track down the Master Emerald pieces in Adventure 1 he was shown to have full confidence in his "Emerald Radar" by Adventure 2 so if it was ever moved an inch he could probably tell from anywhere. As of Adventure 2 he was shown to have used info learned from Tikal to become a little more attuned to the Master Emerald's power instead of just guarding it because it's his role so perhaps any attempts to tap into that power could also be sensed via his "Emerald Radar" now. Pair all that with (over?)confidence in his own ability to drop whatever task he agreed to leave his post to help with and put a stop to any attempted misuse and as an last resort (because I imagine he'd have too much pride to ask any sooner) he could rely on Sonic to help him restore normalcy.
this is the matthasnocuts content I love, keep it up
i strongly headcanon that the master emerald essentially raised knuckles due to there being no other entity around to do so. it's stated in a few places that knuckles was born alone, that he's been the only person up on angel island since his inception, yet he's perfectly capable of communicating with other people, which shouldn't be possible if he's never spoken to another person or had anyone around to teach him how to speak. saying that the master emerald "raised" him fills in a lot of confusing holes in his backstory. and we already know as fact that the m.e is sentient.
I have 2.
The silly one is that boom was just a dream, this has no reason. It is just funny.
The more serious one is that Sonic had repressed emotions, think about it, he doesn't show much emotion besides happiness, with some sass which makes him happy. In fact this is why he still sounded happy-ish when tails git captured in lost world. But in frontiers he finnaly stopped, because he grew up and realized it wasn't good for his mental health. And as for why he started, it started in Heros after Shadow died.
Me and my brother had a head cannon that atleast 6 months passed after every game when they greet each other with “long time, no see.”
my headcanon was that the chaos energy that Sonic had interacted with in S3&K permanently changed him. it’s why he’s able to hit mach speeds so fast now in the modern games, as well as why he retained the green eye color.
this may or may not be canon, idk sonic lore that much, but i always thought this was true in my little child brain
That's cool but what about Mania
Shadow physically grew up in the ark, and I mean he was a baby once. The same goes to Maria, they grew up like siblings.
Also I think the sol emeralds were once earth's, but they were sealed away to another dimension. The latter statement is more of theory, but that doesn't make it less of a headcannon.
In Shadow the Hedgehog, it's shown that this is not true.
@@x-mighty7602 Yeah he was created, already in his immortal physical prime and Maria was already an older kid/pre-teen at the time of Shadow's creation as shown in the cutscene of her playing with Abraham (Young G.U.N Commander) meaning Shadow couldn't have spent more than a year possibly two on the ARK before the tragedy.
Holy shit I just realized! in the comics, when Sonic first turned into the Werehog. He was going through a lot of stress and emotions, and at night after the transformation, he went on a rampage, “letting his demons get to him” as you said. So this very well could actually be true, and I now have a new headcanon. 👍
headcanon: sonic doesn't wear chips bracelet because he's afraid of damaging or losing it
My head cannon about the head cannon of Shadow being based on the Sonic 3 mural, is that Sonic is the true Ultimate Lifeform as foretold by the Echidnas, and Shadow is based off of that foretold Ultimate Lifeform. And the reason why Gerald made the Biolizard to be the Ultimate Lifeform, was because of mistranslating some of the sacred texts into thinking that they were referring to Perfect Chaos as the Ultimate Lifeform.
I always though gerald found the echidna mural in mystic ruins and modeled the biolizard off of perfect chaos, and when that failed, he kept searching, found angel island, and modeled shadow from super sonic
@@thegeth4293 I like that, but I still think it’s a bit weird to say the Biolizard is supposed to be Perfect Chaos when they don’t look very similar.
I guess it can be seen as the Biolizard project was such a failure at everything, they couldn’t even replicate Perfect Chaos’ look. (At least Shadow has his quills go up, and can harness chaos energy)
I'm definitely super misremembering but I honestly thought Gerald getting inspiration from the Sonic 3 Murals was a detail in surprisingly Sonic X. It's otherwise an amazing headcanon regardless just because that's probably the best way for Gerald to make someone like Shadow without knowing Sonic directly.
That Call Me If You Get Lost artwork in the background looks incredible
Less head canon and more of a theory, but I think its interesting enough to post.
The End is Order incarnate. It states it brings the Chaos of existence to Order. Although order is viewed as positive, I believe the Order The End brings is Entropy, when all things reach a state of Equilibrium. This is also why The End is infinite, it's not a physical thing, its a concept imposing its will upon reality.
Second headcanon:
The Chaos Emeralds and the extinction of the Ancients (literally) re-shaped the world.
The Starfall Islands, South Island, West Side Island, and Angel Island (the latter three causing confusion even as far back as the Classic era for all allegedly being the true "home" of the Chaos Emeralds) used to be one land mass. Whatever catastrophic, radioactive event occurred that ended up wiping out the Ancients initially broke the Starfall Islands off from the rest of these islands. Then, later on, Chaos' initial rampage against the Echidnas caused such wild changes in sea levels that they ended up forming three distinct islands altogether, which is why they ALL are, in a way, the true "home" of the Chaos Emeralds.
no way you gave my headcannon (best one in the video) a one star like the AUDACITY
In a way to expand your head cannon about the Werehog and Perfect Chaos being the same, Dark Gaia's energy are dark thoughts themselves, and Chaos Energy are made of different kinds of thoughts (SA1 explained it, I think). And, since Dark Gaia is the representation of Dark thoughts incarnate (notice how the people in all countries are noticibly saddened/angered/having bad thoughts during the night, when Dark Gaia's influence is stronger, and during the day, they're more happy go lucky during the day [which I suppose is because of Chip, Light Gaia, is there, but that's a whole can of worms]), we could interpret that the Werehog is the game's Dark Sonic. The reason why it didn't turn him evil like in Sonic X for example, it's because how Eggman reverts the polarity of the Emeralds when he fires at the earth, Sonic wasn't having Dark thoughts, but rather forced to used it (the Guide for Unleashed does explicitly state that Dr Eggman reverted the polarity of the Emeralds). But anyway, I wanted to point some points for this headcannon, which I share and love the concept of, because it brings a new meaning for the Negative Energy of the Chaos Emeralds, being that the Energy would be capable of distorting the user's mind and image into a monster, just as how hatred and anger can make a person become a monster.
It's interesting to think of where the master emerald fits into the equation here. And what role it plays as a potentially sentient mystical force
Sonic didn't turn evil in X tho, he was more aggressive sure, but he was still trying to save Cosmo and Chris.
Also I find the take that Dark Chaos specifically is the one that turn people into monsters, as it's basically just "Dark power is bad", which is just lame. I like to think the positive said can also turn people into monsters, simply it's much rarer for that to happen. How a monster born from the positive energy look like? Fleetwood basically.
A monster only capable of feeling positive emotions, without negative ones such as sadness, grief, and regret. Committing atrocities without feeling an ounce of shame.
I like to think Sonic’s conjoined eyes are some kind of genetic adaptation to give Sonic better comprehension when running fast
One head cannon I have is that at the end of sonic colors when he’s caught by the black home and the wisps save him, he’s actually sent to the subspace emissary, which is how he got there.
Weird headcannon: The reason that everyone's eyes are coloured instead of being all black from Adventure on is that the Chaos Emeralds, after both being abused by Robotnik and used by Sonic so many times, had a world-altering reaction, causing everyone's eyes to have colour, among other things.
I also think that the classic and modern timelines are one in the same, Classic Sonic can talk (he's just kinda shy), Mighty 🥹, Ray, and other predominantly classic characters do exist in the modern timeline (they just don't really show up), and the Sonic OVA (to some degree) is canon to the mainline series.
I chose to view the eye color change as a simple change in artstyle. Why does classic have black eyes in generations? To differentiate him from modern, the differences only exist for us the players to know which sonic we're looking at. In universe, classic just looks like a smaller, brighter colored Sonic fir the modern gang, while modern would look like a bigger, darker colored classic.
@@ZeothTheHedgehogactually this theory could be a bit true since in the og sonic 3, if you turned into super sonic sonics eyes turned green
14:10 in Adventure Sonic and Tails weren't together in the beginning, so CD could've happened between 3k and Adventure, in fact most games don't have Sonic and Tails together in the beginning like SA1' SA2' Peak, 06 and Unleashed, it was only in Sonic 2, 3, Colors and Lost World where Tails is with Sonic from the first cutscene
Unfortunately, origins confirmed CD is before 2.
My favourite headcannon is one I found scrolling Twitter comments which for the life of me I cannot find. Basically a user described how Cd simultaneously takes place before Sonic 2 and after 3&K by having Robotnik from 3&K come into contact with Sonic shortly after Sonic 1 and before 2 due to some time stone shenanigans. Both have already met and it allows Metal to be created more so though Robotnik’s genius and evolution of the mecha line to create something sleeker and fast rather than something more representative of a brawler. Should I remember where I saw this I’ll post the link but yeah

Unsure if this is headcannon, but
Sonic CAN use all chaos abilities like shadow, but simply chooses not to. Im too lazy to do research on it tho
I always figured that Sonic COULD use all the same chaos powers as Shadow, but using them requires an outside source of chaos energy like one of the Emeralds (or a fake one).
He can because in one scene in 06 shows him and silver using chaos control.
@@gearstorm_8732 i think silver got his chaos control from both sonic and shadow because hes their grandson.

Alrighty, Headcanons...
1: Some of the Ancients who were on-world when the End carved their planet in half: survived. The End carved through the equator, so the ones on the farther poles may have had a chance, but without the Chaos Emeralds, they had to get inhumanely creative to survive. The result? The Black Arms.
2: Ship headcanon: Sonaze
3: The reason Shadow's behavior plummeted so much is because during Forces and after Episode Shadow, Infinite recruited by REALLY messing with his. Imagine the Shadow game's multiple routes, but it's an illusion of choice since Infinite can adjust Shadow's perceptions on a whim.
4: In Sonic CD, Sonic failed to get the final Time Stone until Metallic Madness and didn't find the robot generator, that way Stardust Speedway can have a bad future while the overall game still gets the good ending.
5: While Sonic's timeline is 1, CD, 2, 3, Eggman's is 1, 2, 3, CD. He only ever appears in the boss levels(which are always in the Future) and Metal is more durable than Mecha, unable to be hurt by Sonic directly during that race.
6: There is a Chaos Force, but it's different than in Archie, where it was kind of like the Star Wars force. This version is instead the source of every chaotic weirdness in the series. Loops in cities? Continuity errors, plot holes, and retcons? All Chaos Force, defying the natural order of cause and effect.
A headcanon I recently came up with is that Origins is actually not canonically the same set of adventures that happened on the Genesis, with the Sonic we currently know as Modern Sonic. My take is that Origins is the Generations Classic Sonic's own version of those adventures.
But they tell the exact same story in the exact same order with the exact same events
@@qwertyzillaofficial2969 Not necessarily. Sonic CD never had a concrete place in the timeline until Origins, and furthermore, we have no way to fit the Game Gear games into the timeline if the original Genesis games were back to back.
Not a head cannon but how does every single location ( As far as canon games ) tie in together? How does a cartoony planetoid ( Lost Hex ) manage to co-exist with realistic uncharted islands ( Starfall Islands ) as well as Station Square, Spagonia, the classic era’s zones or Pumpkin Hill? If someone made an “ Open-World “ game where all the locations tie in then what would it look like? The lore is so messed up but that’s what makes it interesting
Sonics world is just that messed up man
@@Banana807 And that’s what makes it interesting
I’m gonna admit that Metal Sonic being an Eggman robot from the future is really good head canon. I think I’m going to accept this as truth.
i like to headcanon that shadow eats a lot of inedible things, first of all cause he can since he’s somewhat immortal and second of all he grew up in space so he didn’t really get any fresh food there either. shadows snacks range from relatively edible things like raw spaghetti to straight up asphalt. team dark goes to a rave (it was rouge’s idea) and shadow just starts tearing glowsticks apart and eating them. once vanilla made him box mac and cheese and he started crying
Considering that all the Classic Games (Barring Mania) are canon to both the Classic and Modern worlds, I believe that the modern counterpart of Mighty either was significantly injured or straight up died after a close encounter with Metal Sonic Kai, hence his absence from future games. It's also probably why Knuckles and the Chaotix do not interact with each other or mention anything relating to the game, they're still mourning, and don't want to remember the way they failed to prevent the incident.
If its a bit of a stretch, that's because I'm using the headcanon as part of my AU fan project lmao
I would love to see Modern Mighty, he's such a cool character. I feel like MIghty and Ray would have a similar relationship as Sonic and Tails, but their Modern versions would actually be older versions of them, like a more serious Mighty and a very adventurer/curious Ray or something like that
If Modern Mighty were badly injured I would imagine Ray being on his side all the time, taking care of him (and that's why he doesn't appear either)
@@salk-e8346 this also aids to my headcanon that Mighty is kinda sorta a big brother figure to Sonic
My headcanon is that sonic became modern sonic by mutating from being around the chaps emeralds so much. In his hyper form from Sonic 3, he has green eyes and a sort of double jump, both of which he got from being around so much chaos energy that he just transformed into an invincible god. Over time sonic racked up so much exposure to chaos energy that he started to adopt some of these traits from the hyper form, giving him green eyes and a double jump in the form of the homing attack, turning him into modern sonic. Every time sonic gains a new ability is because he's been around a huge amount of chaos energy, mutating him into an even stronger hedgehog, kinda like how chaos gains new forms. He got the boost because of the surge of chaos energy from being depowered in the opening scene of sonic unleashed. Something similar actually happened in the Archie comics where after finding a new form in ultra sonic, sonic would turn back to normal only to have his signature modern, green eyes.
Do we really need an in universe explanation for why Sonic has green eyes in adventure and on?
I think that Little Planet is, in the current timeline, doomed to the Bad Future. I saw a video sorta talking about this, but basically, I believe the Good Future ending is the canonical one, BUT, in Generations, Eggman says he reversed his past mistakes. Hence why when you fight Metal Sonic, it’s in the Bad Future of Stardust Speedway. And unless taking out the Time Eater reverted everything back to normal, Little Planet is headed for the Bad Future. And maybe in a future game, Sonic will have to go back and change everything back to the Good Future. I doubt that though. Really, I just want a proper sequel to Sonic CD more than anything.
I have a headcanon that the color of the energy Shadow uses (like in the spears and teleportation and stuff) changes based on whether he has a chaos emerald or not. In the comics, his energy is green and in the games it’s orange/gold but sometimes it’s animated red. So I figured that I would organize it, so it’s green with a chaos emerald, gold without, and red uninhibited. Ik that the fact that he (probably) doesn’t have a chaos emerald in the comics disproves my headcanon, but I still like it
I have a few head canons.
1: Sage was a real person and was the daughter of Eggman before he became a villain. She died at some point. Eggman created Saga to try and bring his daughter back, and then did it again after Frontiers.
2: Mania and the Game Gear games take place in an alternate timeline created after Generations. So Tails saying “You’re that Sonic from another dimension” actually makes a little bit of sense (that was still a stupid line).
3: Sonic and Knuckles got their powers from the Chaos Emeralds/Master Emerald. They were chosen ones if you will.
4: Silver is a distant relative of Shadow (and Amy, since I’m a Shadamy shipper).
5: Just like Spider-Man and Tmnt, every version of Sonic whether that be the games, movies, comics, tv shows, est exist in the same multiverse. I’m hoping for a Spiderverse like crossover with Sonic in Prime.
6: The Time Eater was created by the black hole at the end of Colors.
Shadamy💀
I mean your headcanons are fine except 4..
Idk if this is a headcanon cause it may or may not have been confirmed in some way, but my headcanon is that the way Sonic’s speed works is the same way human speed works, just at a much higher level. By this, I mean that-like humans-Sonic can always try to fast as run as he can, and he’s always capable of reaching a brand new top speed. This is as opposed to beliefs that Sonic can always run at a set speed, for example, the speed of sound. He’s a lot like humans in that he just runs as fast as he can at the moment. The only differences are that he can run much faster than humans, and he has a much higher endurance, hence why he has a boost meter. When not boosting; he’s running while pacing himself, hence why he can run endlessly like that.
here's mine: Eggman's pyramid base (as well as all of the desert levels) in SA2 take place in Angel Island after Rouge stole the Master Emerald before the game starts. As far we can observe within the game, we never see Angel Island anywhere, and Knuckles and Rouge are fighting at an altar located near Eggman's pyramid base before Knuckles' first stage. So, it makes sense to me that they're actually over a fallen Angel Island that crashlanded around near Pumpkin Hill. The Pyramid Eggman uses as his base in this game could be very well an unseen section of Sandopolis Sonic and Knuckles never got to visit on their 2D games.
I feel like the super emeralds thing is just straight up true. I mean yea in 3 and Knuckles you have to collect the emeralds again but I feel like that's just a gameplay/ux thing and not how it actually is lore wise.
I never played Adventure 2 (or any other Sonic game aside from the 1st one and the ones on the internet at the time) and as a kid i was introduced to Shadow by the Sonic videos on RUclips. I thought he was his older long lost brother seperated at birth or something.
Crisis City is Soleanna in the future, not Speed Highway, since the latter is in Station Square.
15:45 (my headcanon) the reason why Eggman doesn't make more metal sonics (or expands on the idea) is because he was betrayed by metal sonic in sonic heros and we all know how that went (bro imagine a whole army of metal sonics 💀), or its just to hard to make another metal sonic
A personal headcanon of mine that could actually be canon is that the entirety of the series happens in a span of 7 years: 4 between the classic games and Sonic Adventure, 5 in Sonic Generations due to Sonic's birthday party, 6 in Sonic Forces due to the 6 months Sonic spend trapped in the Death Egg, and 7 when we reach Sonic Frontiers
I kinda late to the party but here’s my headcanon (it’s more so fanfiction then a headcanon but I’ll still share it anyways).
I believe every character has their own unique chaos ability (like how Shadow’s ability is to summon chaos spears). The reason why most of the main cast can’t use them is because they either A) Don’t know how to tap into them yet, or B) Don’t have enough chaos energy in them to even use it.
Things I would consider to be a chaos ability are Sonic’s Insta-Shield, Amy’s hammer (she can summon it from literally anywhere in Sonic X so it counts in my eyes), and possibly Silver’s psychokinesis.
Things like chaos control would be like a universal chaos ability since all it takes is an emerald and a strong enough will to use them.
I always assumed Shadow was slightly slower than sonic and compensated for it with chaos control/more understanding of and using the energy of the chaos emeralds. But only slightly slower
However I do think Shadow may be physically stronger or at least better combat wise which is one way he's able to stay even whenever up against sonic
(There also is the implication from 06 that Shadow is holding back his full power for some reason as well take that however you will)
I thought the same thing 😊.
I always thought he was slower running but his hover skates let him go as fast as Sonic
I have 2 here so:
- I really like the idea that sonic in forces was tired of the long quill look and just shaved half of it off and all his friends hate it but it takes really long to grow back.
-I know this one’s kinda flawed but it would’ve been really cool if the avatar was actually mute and that’s why they don’t speak.
Soleanna is on the same country as Spagonia and Apotos, the continent Empire City is on also contains Station Square, Central City/City Escape, Mystic Ruins, and Angel Island and Sky Sanctuary were definitely part of the Starfall Islands as one ginormous ancient continent
technically not fully my head canon but i always imagined sonic got the tornado as a gift from some form of family on Christmas island where he was born. i like to think it was this continuities version of uncle chuck but i can also see an alternate version of Longclaw as well.
My one headcanon is that Sonic is aroace (aromantic asexual), and thus not interested in any romantic or sexual endeavors, but puts a lot of value in his friendships.
I also could probably say something about my main bot Metal, but I can't think of anything right now.
He clearly has feelings for Amy as of IDW and Frontiers
@@qwertyzillaofficial2969 Fine by me, I'm not against Sonic in relationships, I personally find Sonaze pretty cute, however, I also think the concept of a Sonic that doesn't feel the need or desire for these emotions quite interesting and fitting.
What sucks is that it most like wouldn't ever be officially explored, in a way other than "he's 2 cool 4 love 😎" instead of making it a deeper part of who he is, and something significant to him.
My only complaint when it comes to Sonic in relationships is that him being married with kids during the Archie comics is kinda weird, but that might be because I just never read those, so, idk.
@@pieofchart Yeah, Archie Sonic is weird
My head cannons is that shadow and knuckles run a loosely regulated fight club, and a select few are in on it... 😂😂😂
Entretaining video, personally i believe that the best headcanons are those that not only don't contradict the oficial canon but also enhance it and the second best headcanons are those who simply don't contradict the canon.
My head canon is that the phantom ruby is a chunk of The End that fell off it during it's final battle against the ancients, or maybe one of The End's attacks that fell into Earth. The end talked about being infinite and bringing order, order is the opposite of chaos, the phantom ruby is said to be a counter to the chaos emeralds and Infinite used the phantom ruby. Also, the end's primary attacks are red.
The End also has a similar color to the phantom ruby
Tails and knuckles hang with each other when sonic goes without them
Head canon ranking and ways to disprove them!
_THIS_ _WILL_ _BE_ _FUN_
1:58
Argument: shadow and sonic are relatively at the same speed, however naturally sonic is faster. Shadow is only sonics equal in speed when wearing the hover skates/ rocket shoes. Without him he can’t keep up. Otherwise I agree that with them he is equal.
3:09
I won’t argue, this is a good headcanon that I can’t really dispute.
5:00
I don’t need to disprove this lol
6:39
I won’t try to dispute this because it’s dumb to even attempt to argue it. Nothing can strongly disprove this. I honestly I don’t want to.
Neat headcanons.
15:20
I’ll argue against this since in chaotix robotnik created a entirely new metal sonic body and just transferred his AI into it, creating metal sonic Kai
I have a headcanon right now and my headcanon is that there might be MULTIPLE Master Emeralds, the reason I think this is bc if u go to Ares, and visit one of the Ruins, u can find an Emerald that’s broken and falling apart, one that looks exactly like the Master Emerald, making me think that there might be 7 Master Emeralds, which also brings me to another theory that the starfall islands were part of an island group with Angel Island, that I named The Angel Islands, the reason why I think that is because of the last theory of there being multiple Master Emeralds. u need the Master Emerald to make Angel Island float, meaning that Kronos and Ares may have floated before that as well since we see that broken Master Emerald on Ares, Chaos Island is also stated to be a floating Island above the clouds, meaning there might be a hidden Master Emerald on that Island, however, it might’ve lost power bc of that attack that we see in those Story Book like cutscenes, but that’s just my headcanon
Not to mention the cyberspace portal on Angel Island, tbh this has WAY more proof than it should have
I may have missed my opportunity to share my headcanon before, so instead I shall share it here.
The Chaos Emeralds are evolving Sonic the more he uses them.
Sonic started off in the classic games with black eyes, while only Super Sonic had green eyes. Later on, Sonic would gain green eyes, and Super Sonic's eyes would change to red. This means Sonic's eyes would possibly change red in the far future.
(I believe the Fleetway comics actually touched on this concept.)
And in terms of Power, they increase his base power the more he uses them. Example, in Sa1, They needed Super Sonic to defeat Perfect Chaos, and even then it was a dicy fight. But in Sonic Generations, Modern Sonic manages to beat Perfect Chaos in the exact same amount of hits, like it's nobody else's business. He's very visibly on par with Sa1 Super Sonic in terms of power. And now with Frontiers, we can see that Super Sonic too is also getting stronger, now having the ability to conjure energy chains, as well as Green Lantern-esc illusions.
That's my personal headcanon, and an explanation for Sonic's continued growth in both speed and power.
To add to the crisis City headcanon, if speed highway is just station square as an action stage, wouldn't crisis City actually be station square in the future
While playing Frontiers, i thougth it would be cool that, the more Sonic got infected with that cyberspace thing, he got more capable of interacting and controlling cyberspace-related stuff, thats why vs Wivern, he manages to ¿change? the trajectory of the missiles at the last second, and vs Knight he can ride his shield and wield his sword. While in the Giganto fight, he just beat him up.(Also while playing the final "The End" section,i thought Sonic was controlling Supreme, but it ended up not being the case xd)
13:31 This theory makes even more sense when you consider the fact that Sonic attempted to save Shadow. If memory serves my correctly, Sonic gave Rouge Shadow’s inhibitor rings. This leads me to believe he tried and failed to save Shadow. The reality hit that he couldn’t save everyone. Plus, it was likely the first he’d ever witnessed someone die, especially someone he knew.
14:53 I’m also pretty sure Crisis City is a dystopian Soleanna. It honestly makes more sense given the setting of the entire game and the vision Elise sees around the beginning of Sonic’s story.
13:11 I love this. I think Iizuka said sonic saw something else we, the player, did (don't @me) but I wouldn't mind if this straight up became the cannon
While I've heard that the reason the past, present, and future stages all appear so differently in Sonic CD is that time flows super quickly on Little Planet, I always kind of preferred the way I first interpreted it where Eggman used the time stones to travel back thousands or maybe even hundreds of thousands of years in Little Planet's past to place his generators so that he could have already gained control of Little Planet by the present. Similarly, I think it's cool to imagine the past being so long ago and the future being so far ahead in the future. The more primitive style of the past fits a lot better with such a large gap than, say, just that month when Little Planet touched down again.
