* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: By this point, everyone but [[AllLovingHero Sonic]] is clearly okay with killing Nine if push comes to shove, and at one point the fox finds himself cowering inside a force-field at Renegade Knucks' mercy. But Sonic, apart from still caring about Nine, knows the fox is the only one who can stop the Shatterverse's decay and insists on getting through to him. Unfortunately, all he does is get in Knucks' way and enable Nine to retaliate; Sonic is eventually forced to body-slam the fox off the edge of the tower.

* VillainousBreakdown: The already-PowerHigh Nine starts flipping out as his Alpha Grim robots fall one by one and he himself gets tag-teamed by Sonic and Knucks, culminating in a full-blown psychotic frenzy that continues into the next episode.
