* SequelGap: The original ''Nazo Unleashed'' animation concluded at three parts, with the third part being released in 2007. The sequel, ''Wrath of Nazo'', wouldn't be released until December 27, 2023, a full 15 years later, after a period of troubled development that started around 2014-2015.

* SequelGap: The original ''Nazo Unleashed'' animation concluded at three parts, with the third part being released in 2008. The sequel, ''Wrath of Nazo'', wouldn't be released until December 27, 2023, a full 15 years later, after a period of troubled development that started around 2014-2015.

* TheOtherDarrin: Rather than ripping game audio like he did with the original trilogy, Chakra-X stated that he wanted actual voice actors making new lines for the sequel, so he could better tell a story without the obvious [[FakeShemp sampled and recut dialogue and voice clips]] limiting him. As a result, the characters all have completely different voice actors that emulated the voice cast of ''Sonic'' franchise in the mid-to-late-2010s and early-2020s as opposed to the ''Adventure''-era cast in the early-2000s.
** Sonic the Hedgehog is voiced by Nathan Morrison.

** Miles "Tails" Prower is voiced by Kn.

* RoleReprise: [=Omahdon/=]Creator/EdwynTiong reprises his role as Nazo after first playing him in ''Nazo Unleashed'' (2008). Chakra-X was originally going to cast another actor during the audition process, but since Tiong re-auditioned for the role, he was brought back to voice him again. Tiong previously voiced the character as part of an unofficial sequel, ''The Return of Nazo'', but ''Wrath of Nazo'' was the first time he returned to doing the character's voice as an official continuation from Chakra-X. Tiong would then play Nazo in other fanmade projects like Mecha Sonic vs. Nazo by [=RetroRumble=]. While Tiong was confirmed to be playing the character in in 2014, it took until 2023 for the project to release its first part.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: "Gohan Powers Up" (from Part 3) was replaced with [[VideoGame/SonicColors "Nega Wisp Armor Phase 2"]] in the Director's Cut due to copyright claims; in the 2022 version, the song was replaced ''again'' with [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Crush 40's rendition of "His World"]].

* WordOfGod: Chakra-X supplies quite a bit of commentary and information about the series regarding Nazo and the Fusion form, [[spoiler:Shadic]] on his [=deviantART=] account and as annotated commentary (which sadly had been lost to time due to the removal of those by [=YouTube=]) on the HD Director's Cut.

As a result, the characters all have completely different voice actors that emulated the voice cast of ''Sonic'' franchise in the late-2010s as opposed to the ''Adventure''-era cast in the early-2000s.
** Sonic the Hedgehog is now voiced by Nathan Morrison.

* ApprovalOfGod: Sonic's first credited games voice actor, Ryan Drummond, praised the series.

* ScheduleSlip: Chakra-X initially intended for ''The Wrath of Nazo'' to be released in 2019, but after the script ended up running longer than expected, he decided to release only the first two-thirds in 2019. This didn't happen, and by July 2022, when the project was finally cancelled, nothing more had been shown of it.
* ScrewedByTheLawyers: "Gohan Powers Up" (from part 3) was replaced with [[VideoGame/SonicColors "Nega Wisp Armor Phase 2"]] in the Director's Cut due to copyright claims; in the 2022 version, the song was replaced ''again'' with [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Crush 40's rendition of "His World"]].

This didn't happen, and by July 2022, when the project was finally cancelled, nothing more had been shown of it. Justified in that, by that point, Chakra-X had become a professional animator with a busy family life, so he simply couldn't devote the same amount of time to it that he could to ''Nazo Unleashed''.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: "Gohan Powers Up" and "Piccon's Theme" (both from part 3) were replaced with [[VideoGame/SonicColors "Nega Wisp Armor Phase 2"]] in the Director's Cut due to copyright claims; in the 2022 version, the songs were replaced ''again'' with [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Crush 40's rendition of "His World"]].

As of the start of 2021, nothing has been released apart from the trailer.

* AscendedMeme: Similar to the Ermac effect from Mortal Kombat, “Nazo” was presumably nothing more than a rejected design for Super Sonic in the anime Sonic X, briefly appearing in an early trailer. However, this wouldn’t stop him from becoming a hit on the internet. Soon enough, this one-off rumor became a full-fledged villain in this web-movie series.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Some of the music in Director's Cut had to be replaced, most notably "Gohan Powers Up" being replaced with [[VideoGame/SonicColors "Egg Nega Wisp Phase 2"]] during Sonic and Shadow's fusion dance.
