00:00:01.390 --> 00:00:06.260
Now, we've just looked at the first series of Sonic X,
also known as seasons 1 and 2.

00:00:06.260 --> 00:00:09.300
But there was another series which many refer to as season 3,

00:00:09.300 --> 00:00:10.950
which we'll be looking at right now.

00:00:10.950 --> 00:00:16.360
It starts off with Super Sonic facing
off with a mysterious and tough foe.

00:00:16.360 --> 00:00:18.730
This foe would like the Chaos Emeralds,

00:00:18.730 --> 00:00:22.930
but Sonic, as a last resort, spreads the Emeralds across the universe

00:00:22.930 --> 00:00:25.300
and then loses his power.

00:00:26.090 --> 00:00:29.810
Meanwhile, a mysterious visitor
from space happens to crash land

00:00:29.810 --> 00:00:33.210
and wishes to tell her story to no one else but Sonic.

00:00:33.210 --> 00:00:36.130
Sonic is found and taken care of by Eggman.

00:00:36.130 --> 00:00:36.500
Wait

00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:36.920
What?

00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:38.510
Eggman taking helping Sonic?

00:00:38.510 --> 00:00:43.800
Well, it turns out their little war has become a
game where one can't do anything without the other.

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:45.560
Soon after, the new enemy,

00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:46.720
known as the Metarex

00:00:46.720 --> 00:00:49.400
land on the planet to acquire the Planet Egg.

00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:53.900
One could say it is like the planet's soul
that keeps life stable and flourishing.

00:00:53.900 --> 00:00:56.090
Everyone tries to fend of the Metarex,

00:00:56.090 --> 00:00:58.340
but eventually fail.

00:00:58.340 --> 00:01:00.530
Meanwhile, back on planet Earth,

00:01:00.530 --> 00:01:04.360
6 years have passed and Chris Thorndyke,
now 18 years old,

00:01:04.360 --> 00:01:08.010
hasn't been able to let go of Sonic ever since his departure.

00:01:08.010 --> 00:01:13.670
He has been working on trying to get the portal to
work again so that he can visit Sonic once again.

00:01:13.670 --> 00:01:17.690
He succeeds by using the Master Emerald
as a materialization point,

00:01:17.690 --> 00:01:20.300
but things don't really go according to plan.

00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:22.550
Sonic!

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.140
Apparently someone didn't like Chris being older than Sonic.

00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:39.340
After all that, the visitor, named Cosmo, finally tells them:

00:01:39.810 --> 00:01:45.240
Many planets in space have fallen
victim to these destructive machines.

00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:52.940
Their goal is to gain control of the universe, by using violence.

00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:59.610
To rule every planet, many planets in the
Galaxy have been destroyed over the years.

00:02:00.980 --> 00:02:09.010
They come to these planets, to steal the
Planet Eggs and lock it inside a crystal.

00:02:09.010 --> 00:02:11.980
I don't understand what their true ambition is,

00:02:11.980 --> 00:02:15.740
but I know that those planets rot away.

00:02:17.210 --> 00:02:22.050
When the Planet Egg is stolen, its planet rots away and dies.

00:02:22.050 --> 00:02:25.820
So now they have to travel into space
in order to collect the Chaos Emeralds,

00:02:25.820 --> 00:02:26.720
beat the Metarex,

00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:30.680
and return with the Planet Egg before
their world is completely gone.

00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:33.720
Now tell me if the basic story here sounds familiar:

00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:36.280
7 magic items get spread across the universe,

00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.950
and now our heroes have to gather them up

00:02:38.950 --> 00:02:42.550
in order to prevent a disaster from
happening on their home planet.

00:02:43.450 --> 00:02:50.280
Anyways, in order to get this ship to travel across light years
of deep space in seconds and have a chance against the Metarex,

00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.280
they need a powerful power source.

00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:53.850
I'm sure Knuckles won't mind.

00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:55.850
What are you doing!

00:02:55.850 --> 00:02:58.250
They get off to a shaky start,

00:02:58.250 --> 00:03:00.180
but eventually get out there.

00:03:01.850 --> 00:03:04.750
Sonic, spin to start!

00:03:04.750 --> 00:03:06.080
OK!

00:03:20.450 --> 00:03:24.820
However, following them close behind is Eggman and Rouge.

00:03:24.820 --> 00:03:30.420
So, with the Master Emerald and any other Chaos Emeralds
they come across as their Chaos Emerald radar,

00:03:30.420 --> 00:03:32.320
they end up on many planets,

00:03:32.320 --> 00:03:34.320
fight many Metarex,

00:03:34.320 --> 00:03:36.320
return the Planet Eggs,

00:03:36.320 --> 00:03:39.980
discover that the Metarex are creating fake Chaos Emeralds,

00:03:39.980 --> 00:03:42.220
travel through strange phenomenons,

00:03:42.220 --> 00:03:44.420
and Tails falls in love with Cosmo.

00:03:44.420 --> 00:03:46.180
You're so pretty, Cosmo.

00:03:46.620 --> 00:03:48.750
The view is pretty.

00:03:48.850 --> 00:03:50.880
Ah, such young love...

00:03:51.950 --> 00:03:52.920
Yuck!

00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:57.180
Eggman follows our heroes in order to
steal the Chaos Emeralds for himself,

00:03:57.180 --> 00:04:00.350
Rouge tries to steal the Emeralds from anyone possible,

00:04:00.350 --> 00:04:04.120
and we find that Shadow is revived
and collects the Emeralds for Eggman.

00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.120
Also, Eggman makes deals with the Metarex,

00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.920
and they take turns breaking those deals.

00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:15.380
We also learn that the Metarex and Cosmo are
the same species, and are plant life forms.

00:04:15.380 --> 00:04:18.680
Long ago these plants were at war with the animals.

00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:22.080
The plants could transform themselves
in order to get the upper hand,

00:04:22.080 --> 00:04:25.120
but at the price of drastically shortening their life.

00:04:27.380 --> 00:04:30.120
The female plants prepared to leave the planet,

00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:34.180
while the male plants were researching
in how to transform without dying.

00:04:34.180 --> 00:04:36.420
They were successful by using Planet Eggs,

00:04:36.420 --> 00:04:39.250
but ended up being monsters themselves.

00:04:42.020 --> 00:04:44.880
The females tried to stop this by bombing the planet,

00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:47.450
but some survived, now known as the Metarex.

00:04:47.450 --> 00:04:51.780
Their mission is to create a perfect universe of order and tranquility,

00:04:51.780 --> 00:04:55.850
by having the plants consume the animals with the help of Chaos Emeralds.

00:04:55.850 --> 00:04:57.480
They finally confront the Metarex,

00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.350
but because they have all 7 of the real Chaos Emeralds

00:05:00.350 --> 00:05:03.520
the big transformation starts and it all looks hopeless.

00:05:10.250 --> 00:05:13.180
With the help of Eggman's ship's power and the Master Emerald,

00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:15.920
they deliver a big blast to hopefully end it all.

00:05:18.350 --> 00:05:22.420
It seemed to work as the Chaos Emeralds
were neutralized by the Master Emerald,

00:05:22.420 --> 00:05:25.520
but the Metarex doesn't want to give up just yet.

00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:34.120
He creates a cocoon that will protect him and sends out energy transferring
waves that will take the energy from the animals and give them to the plants.

00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.150
With the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic and Shadow turn super,

00:05:37.150 --> 00:05:38.780
and with the help of the Planet Eggs

00:05:38.780 --> 00:05:42.320
they barge in and give the Metarex cocoon a good thrashing.

00:05:44.780 --> 00:05:50.720
But the Metarex is a stubborn guy who decides to
compress all the energy and blow up the whole universe.

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.920
While people try to figure out if using
the cannon with super ammo will work,

00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:56.920
Cosmo has a revelation.

00:05:57.220 --> 00:05:59.420
Cosmo.

00:06:00.150 --> 00:06:02.580
You can do this.

00:06:02.580 --> 00:06:06.920
You just have to use your crystal
to save your friends and everyone else.

00:06:08.250 --> 00:06:10.120
I'm the only one who can do it.

00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.220
She does her final transformation,

00:06:12.220 --> 00:06:14.820
and goes off to contain the black ball.

00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:19.150
But this won't permanently suppress the Metarex and she...

00:06:19.380 --> 00:06:21.450
She asks Tails...

00:06:21.450 --> 00:06:22.920
To shoot her.

00:06:23.020 --> 00:06:23.820
Cosmo.

00:06:24.320 --> 00:06:25.720
That sure is dark...

00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:27.520
To ask her boyfriend to kill her.

00:06:27.520 --> 00:06:31.420
After some time of Tails agonizing over the whole ordeal,

00:06:31.420 --> 00:06:32.880
he finally...

00:06:33.550 --> 00:06:37.080
Sends the 2 super colliding hedgehogs to...

00:06:37.880 --> 00:06:40.420
Man, can this get any sadder?

00:06:40.420 --> 00:06:42.420
Actaully...

00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:48.320
Hello, Reyn?

00:06:48.320 --> 00:06:49.980
Could you play for us a sad tune?

00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:30.120
*SNURFFLE*

00:08:31.820 --> 00:08:32.850
So anyway...

00:08:32.850 --> 00:08:37.850
The Planet Eggs get freed and are returned to
their rightful planets, and everyone returns home.

00:08:37.850 --> 00:08:41.380
While Chris thinks about how he's going to live on Sonic's world,

00:08:41.380 --> 00:08:45.150
he gets a message from Eggman saying
that he can return Chris to Earth.

00:08:45.150 --> 00:08:50.850
Eggman says there is only a small window of opportunity left,
so Chris can't go around and say goodbye to everyone.

00:08:50.850 --> 00:08:56.880
But I think he just wanted to get rid of the person
that can rival his genius as fast as possible.

00:08:56.880 --> 00:09:02.920
And so life returns to normal with Eggman taking
over the world, and Sonic & Co. fighting him off.

00:09:02.920 --> 00:09:07.350
So that was Sonic X,
the last of the Official Sonic Animated Cartoons as of yet.

00:09:07.350 --> 00:09:10.380
It seems to be as fun as Adventures or Underground,

00:09:10.380 --> 00:09:12.880
though I'm not sure about the seriousness of it...

00:09:12.880 --> 00:09:16.180
But why did we have to take two weeks?

00:09:16.520 --> 00:09:20.150
It was because they ignored us,
and left to play by themselves.

00:09:20.450 --> 00:09:21.980
That's right!

00:09:21.980 --> 00:09:24.420
We are very essential to this program...

00:09:24.520 --> 00:09:28.720
Not to forget, Eggman Sir is also very essential.

00:09:31.880 --> 00:09:33.720
What? Too small?

00:09:35.680 --> 00:09:38.150
I could not see it, so merge again?

00:09:39.180 --> 00:09:41.420
Then WATCH IT WITH A BIGGER TV!

00:09:41.420 --> 00:09:43.780
There are some inconsistencies like...

00:09:43.780 --> 00:09:47.020
Sonic is unable to breath in a liquid atmosphere,

00:09:47.020 --> 00:09:49.820
and yet he has no problems breathing in nothing?

00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:53.880
Both Eggman and Chris use spacesuits
so we know there's no oxygen out there,

00:09:53.880 --> 00:09:57.020
but the rest of the anthropomorphic
animals seem to have no problems

00:09:57.020 --> 00:09:57.650
breathing,

00:09:57.650 --> 00:09:58.320
speaking,

00:09:58.320 --> 00:09:59.250
and navigating

00:09:59.250 --> 00:10:01.680
through an atmosphericless space.

00:10:02.550 --> 00:10:06.420
Well, seeing as this was made by Sonic Team
and they know how Sonic rolls,

00:10:06.420 --> 00:10:09.350
I guess this is the official story to Sonic's life.

00:10:09.350 --> 00:10:12.320
Though another inconsistency seems to crop up.

00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:15.380
If Sonic and everyone else was returned to their own world,

00:10:15.380 --> 00:10:19.820
why do we keep seeing humans in
Sonic games that came out after this series?

00:10:19.820 --> 00:10:23.120
I know at least 2 of them involve parallel dimensions.

00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:26.680
Though I suppose they may not be in any chronological order,

00:10:26.680 --> 00:10:31.020
but by the looks of things, it doesn't look
like Sonic Team can keep much consistency.

00:10:31.020 --> 00:10:33.320
So, out of all of these, what would my rating be?

00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:36.320
Actually, I'm not good at stars so lets just make a list, ok?

00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.780
As my number 1 with most consistency:

00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.180
Well, of course it had to be...

00:10:43.180 --> 00:10:45.180
Number 2 would be the Archie Comics,

00:10:45.180 --> 00:10:48.220
for their serious parts in the later comics.

00:10:48.220 --> 00:10:52.050
Number 3 would be Sonic the Hedgehog the OVA.

00:10:52.050 --> 00:10:52.980
And...

00:10:52.980 --> 00:10:55.120
Maybe Sonic X gets the 4th place,

00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.720
though it could be tied with the others.

00:10:58.820 --> 00:11:03.180
So out of all of this, is there any real Sonic Canon out there?

00:11:03.180 --> 00:11:06.920
Well, with the freedom of parallel universes, dimensions or realities,

00:11:06.920 --> 00:11:08.920
I guess anything goes...
