* {{Knighting}}: He was dubbed "Sir Sonic" by King Max at one point, only to be stripped of the title much later by his son, [the acting ruler] Elias Acorn [[note]]Sonic had stolen the Sword of Acorns in a desperate attempt to save Uncle Chuck, only to lose it to Eggman's robots. As he failed to consult the Acorn family or find out how it worked, this punishment was likely justified. Then again, Geoffery guided Elias' temporary rule and recommended this.[[/note]] When offered to be reinstated some time after several heroics, Sonic declined, more interested in action than titles.

* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: In issue 134, after Sonic declines helping her run the kingdom in favor of continuing the fight with Eggman, Sally responds by giving him an ArmorPiercingSlap, lambasting him for being selfish, and essentially dumping him right in front of ''everybody in Knothole''. Several call-backs to this moment are made, with it being made clear Sally regrets being so harsh; she even turns down a chance to start a romance with Monkey Khan for this reason, acknowledging she reacted badly and was unfair to Sonic.

* WhatTheHellHero: Gives a scathing one to Silver in issue 235. First, when Silver appears and declares that Antoine is the traitor that will destroy the Freedom Fighters, Sonic smashes through his house's wall and literally drags Silver to the hospital to show him the comatose Antoine and to explain that Antoine had previously pulled off a HeroicSacrifice to save the Acorn family and thus couldn't possibly be the traitor. It continues once they subsequently discover a note from Bunnie explaining that she had left to "make things right," and Silver quickly declares that ''Bunnie'' is the traitor based on the fact that she left without telling anyone; at this point, Sonic has finally had enough of Silver's InspectorJavert tendencies and snaps, furiously telling Silver that there ''is'' no traitor, that he trusts his friends, and that they're all bigger heroes than a "flake" like Silver could ever hope to be before ordering Silver to go home. When Silver tells him that he's TrappedInThePast, Sonic flat-out tells him to just go away.

** The Endgame Arc (Issues 47-50) placed Sonic through the wringer. Sally was seemingly murdered, and Sonic was framed for the crime. He was immediately found guilty and sent to a high-security prison, only to escape while under attacked. He was then chased down and a few friends turned on him until Dulcy set the record straight. And just as he saved the day as usual, Robotnik used a doomsday weapon to destroy Knothole Village. This was more than enough for him to lose it and face his nemesis in [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown one last battle]]. [[spoiler: Luckily, Knothole was just sent to a pocket dimension for several issues by Snively, who adjusted the weapon to only kill his uncle, and Sally wasn't dead after all.]]
