What And Who Murdered Sonic The Hedgehog?

Sonic Got Murdered

Hold on…”Murdered“?! That’s right we are gonna be talking about the times Sonic was murdered in the Games. However since this franchise is mostly tailored to Kids, Sonic being murdered is mostly half correct. Sonic often is in life or death situations which help make the plot more spicy instead of being straight up murdered. But without further a do let’s start.

Murder By Fall Damage In Sonic Adventure

Sonic Adventure

Sonic has been able to cheat death multiple times. One memorable instance is in Sonic Adventure where he straight up flew head first into the sand of emerald coast after The Tornado got shot down by Eggman. But it was kinda meaningless since fall damage doesn’t really exist in the sonic games.

Murder By Space Explosion In Sonic Adventure 2

Sonic Adventure 2

Moving on there is Sonic Adventure 2 where Sonic was about to get killed by Eggman (Yeah you heard that right, by Eggman) Sonic got trapped inside of a capsule after team sonic and eggman agreed to have an exchange of Chaos emerald for Amy’s life. The plan was to use a fake emerald to trick him. They forgot eggman has an IQ of 300 and failed badly. Tails even gave away that the emerald was a fake which reassured dr eggmans suspisions. 

I can’t stress enough how good eggman was portrait in this game. As Sonic was about to be murdered, he remembered what magic shadow did with a real chaos emerald and he used Chaos control to get out of the capsule in time and reunite with Knuckles.

Death By Planet Destruction In Shadow The Hedgehog

Next up is not even a Sonic game it’s a shadow game. During one of the multiple endings which can be a bit questionable, We see Sonic laying on the ground defenseless. Since this is Shadow’s Evil ending, Shadow talks about destroying the DAMN planet so that would include Sonic in the Manslaughter. 

The Opening of the game shows Sonic in a simular Position as in the evil Ending. Could be assumed they spoilered The Murder of Sonic in the game. But it was probably for the shock factor. “SHADOW KILLED HIS BEST BUDDY SONIC?! I have to ask my parents to get me this game”

Murdered By Being Impaled In Sonic 06

Sonic 06

Now incomes the big one, Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, where Mephiles the Dark, one of the best villains in the franchise does the unthinkable and seemingly kills Sonic using an energy blast. Mephiles waited for the perfect moment where sonic was walking around the empty soleana forest with his human date. Always makes me facepalm of how easy it was to kill the Main Character. This moment definitly left players in shock, as it’s one of the rare moments where Sonic appears to be genuinely dead

You might be wondering “How is Sonic alive in the latest game then?” Well Sonic 06 not only introduced Time travel via Chaos Emeralds but these Gems can also be used to revive someone! They really function like Dragonball in this game. Just watch how Sonic Team came up with reviving Sonic

After that we Reach for the stars with Sonic Colors. Yes the Quirky funny jokes Sonic game includes a murder… Or not? In the ending of the game Sonic runs away from a black hole created by the explosion of eggmans intergalactic space station. The screen turns black and the question is, is Sonic Dead?

Well by playing the next Chapter in the story we find out he is alive, killing all tention that could have been there. Sonic is still cracking jokes and being goofy after presumably being turtored for months as stated by commander Knuckles.

Conclusion Of Sonic's "Deaths"

It’s safe to say that Sonic did infact get murdered once at least. We came close to it multiple times however Sonic grew so overpowered since the latest installment Sonic Frontiers that i can’t see him being killed off for longer than 2 story chapters

Super Sonic 2 OP

Sonic’s deaths serve more as pivotal, dramatic moments rather than a real Death. Sonic’s repeated returns from the brink of death symbolize hope, resilience, and the unwavering courage to stand up against evil, no matter the odds. In every form, Sonic’s legacy is that of life, not death. A testament to never giving up, fast-running right back into the action.
