History Awesome / SonicX

* And speaking of Cream, the 36th issue of the Archie Comic adaptation (it's the one where Chris signs Sonic up for a pet show to; A, get the Chaos Emerald that would be used as the prize so it doesn't fall into the hands of Eggman, who signs Bokkun up in [[PaperThinDisguise the piss-poor disguise of a cat]], and B, to stand up to Milan, a SpoiledBrat rival of his) has her pretty much saving the day with Sonic in her own way. When she first appeared in this issue, she expresses her sadness over her seeing animals in cages and on leashes: as far as she's concerned, all living things should be free to choose their own fates; and yes, that does include Eggman. When Sonic and Eggman [[NiceJobBreakingItHero accidentally free all the animals,]] Sonic is pretty much on it to calm the wild animals down. Cream, however, notices a pack of wild dogs cornering a judge and her pet kitten, and immediately rushes to save her. When asking them to leave her alone doesn't work, she, with an utterance of [[LetsGetDangerous "Don't say I didn't warn you!"]], pulls out her plan B: [[MakeMeWannaShout a powerful sonic scream that blasts all of the dogs away from her and the judge.]] Not only that, but when everyone else gets disqualified for what happened, only one winner stands: Cream and Cheese, who didn't even enter. The judge they saved commends them for their bravery, and what does Cream do with the Chaos Emerald? Simple, they donate it to an animal protection foundation for all of the animals in Station Square without a home. Chris, Tails and Sonic couldn't be prouder, commending her for her bravery too, with Chris saying she deserved that win. And Cream even tells off Milan with one sentence; "If you ask me, it takes a real winner to be kind and generous, Milan." It's very awesome, not to mention a bit of a BigLippedAlligatorMoment, since Cream [[PutOnABus hasn't used her sonic scream for quite some time.]] Nevertheless, Cream's mother would likely be very proud.

** Another one, in ep. 45 when he beats a Kung Fu guy in a fighting tournament. He's even able to put up an impressive fight against Rouge in the second round, after she initially believed he would be easy pickings. Makes you smile for the kid.

* Tails defeating Eggman (nearly) after Sonic's (supposed) death on Board Space Colony Ark. That's what'cha get for offing Tails' personal mentor, Eggman.

** Tails completely shuts down a secret military base, leaving scientists and soldiers alike literally powerless, clueless, and frantic, then blows a hole in the complex with a biplane, rescues Sonic and Cream, and flies them all to freedom like it was nothing, [[BigDamnHeroes making his first appearance in style]] - and then clinches the deal by being so darn modest about it when Cream praises him for it. Even better, he was apparently planning on doing it all by himself, but was pleasantly surprised to see Sonic was already on the job.

Even better, he was apparently planning on doing it all himself, but was pleasantly surprised to see Sonic was already on the job.

** It's arguable that Sonic himself (in the form of Dark Sonic) had a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome in that episode, not to mention a FoeTossingCharge. After witnessing his [[ItsPersonal friends attacked, injured and imprisoned, under threat of execution if Sonic doesn't do what Black Narcissus wants him to do]] (not to mention being exposed to the negative Energy of [[GreenRocks fake Chaos Emeralds]], Sonic quite literally takes out both of the Metarex "testing" robots in no more than a couple of seconds. They probably didn't even have time to obtain the data they wanted from him he was so damn quick. That said it was a [[NightmareFuel remotely disturbing scene]].

'''Sonic:''' (''LaughingMad'') [[PreAssKickingOneLiner All right, then; let's test 'em out!]]\\
(''Sonic proceeds to wreck both Metarex combatants'')\\
'''Sonic:''' [[BondOneLiner Looks like you'll have to go back to the drawing board!]]

** Even more effective in the Japanese version, where Eggman calls out Chris for being dramatic and in denial about the situation, hiding behind everyone else, and [[ItsAllAboutMe only caring about getting what]] ''[[ItsAllAboutMe he]]'' [[ItsAllAboutMe wants, consequences for the rest (including Sonic) be damned]]. Once he's finished, Eggman coldly dismisses Chris from his lair without bothering with force or even to look at him, which really goes to show just [[DisappointedInYou how disappointed the doctor is in him]].

-->'''Eggman (ENG):''' Or else you'll throw a temper tantrum? Face it, kid. Without Sonic here to back you up, your threats are as hollow as your head!

** Even more effective in the Japanese version, where Eggman calls out Chris for being dramatic and in denial about the situation, hiding behind everyone else, and [[ItsAllAboutMe only caring about getting what]] ''[[ItsAllAboutMe he]]'' [[ItsAllAboutMe wants, consequences for the rest be damned]]. Once he's finished, Eggman turns away and coldly dismisses Chris from his lair.

-->'''Eggman:''' When will you see that you're acting like a stupid fool?! You would often interfere with my plans, along with Sonic. I thought you had a lot of backbone! It looks like I was wrong. You leave everything up to others, and then blame them for every mistake that's made. You're ''very'' wrong if you think you can always live like that! So you'll be satisfied ruining things for others, just so you can stay with Sonic forever? But if you can't get your way... [[{{Wangst}} you're just going to let yourself sink into self-pity, aren't you?]] Don't you understand that's wrong?! (''long pause, as it sinks in for Chris'') [[GetOut Just go home. Don't ever come back to my place again]].
** Eggman also gets in a particularly satisfying dig at Chris beforehand in both dubs, when Chris gets angry enough to try physically attacking him, forcing Decoe and Bocoe to hold him back.

* Eggman gets another awesome moment when he [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech gives Chris a well-deserved call out]] in episode 49. He lies on purpose about his involvement in the time freezing issue just to see Chris' reaction to his admittance [[SecretTestOfCharacter in order to gauge his selfishness]]. Then when Chris starts complaining about being lied to when Eggman admits that he was lying just to see said reaction, [[TakeThatScrappy Eggman starts delivering the home truths about how the boy is so willing to scapegoat someone else just so he could have a reason to keep Sonic from leaving him]]. Once he's finished, Chris is sent running off in tears despite the doctor [[TranquilFury barely even raising his voice]].

* Eggman arguably gets another awesome moment when he delivers an awesome speech to Chris in episode 49. He lies on purpose about his involvement in the time freezing issue just to see Chris' reaction to his admittance in order to gauge his selfishness. Then when Chris starts complaining about being lied to when Eggman admits that he was lying just to see said reaction, [[TakeThatScrappy Eggman starts delivering the home truths about how he is so willing to scapegoat someone else (him) just for the sake of having a reason to keep Sonic from leaving him.]]
-->'''Eggman''': You're the one who's lying to ''yourself''. You don't wanna accept the truth. Deep down, you know once Sonic is gone, your life will have to go back to the way it was before. Your days of adventure are at an end, boy, just like your friendship with that hyper-annoying hedgehog. All your dreams have been shattered, haven't they? (''chuckles mirthlessly'') Life is like that, kiddo. Take it from somebody who knows! Whenever you reach too high, life smacks you down! But on the ''bright'' side, at least you and I won't have to see each other ever again.
** Even more effective in the Japanese edit, where Eggman calls out Chris for being dramatic and in denial about the situation, and wanting nothing more than to be with Sonic forever.
-->'''Eggman:''' How long are you going to act like a spoiled child, you fool?! Since you and Sonic always interfered with my plans together, I thought you were a little tougher. I was wrong. You always rely on others and blame other people. If you think you can get away with that forever, you're wrong! You only want to be with Sonic? That may be enough for you. However, if that's all you care about, you'll always be small-time. Can't you understand that?!

* You have to give props to Maria. An idealistic twelve year old IllGirl who had a ''gun pointing right at her back'' along with a clear threat to kill her if she so much as moved. But she still pulled the lever releasing Shadow and sending him to earth, thus [[HeroicSacrifice sealing her own fate]].

* The revolutionary Molly's SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome came when she piloted her ship directly into the Metarex fleet, taking out a ship and [[HeroicSacrifice killing herself in the process]]. Of course, the dub screwed it up by editing out her death all together and making her run away effectively turning her from a hero into a coward. Then digitally editing out her gravestone. Damn you 4Kids.

* Knuckles gets one when he defeats Yellow Zelkova in the Galaxtic Corridor - he actually smashed his own gloves/hands/whatever, he attacked so hard. Not to mention he then [[TakeMyHand offered Zelkova a hand out of there]], which he declined, choosing suicide over Knuckles' aid.)

* Let's all face it: Shadow's one powerful guy, right? The episode "The Cosmo Conspiracy", where Shadow tries to kill Cosmo because she's an unintentional spy for the Metarex. While trying to get Tails and Cosmo, Knuckles gets in front of them and not only manages to ''hold Shadow back'', he manages to ''throw him into a wall''. Granted he gets knocked out about five seconds afterwards, but in the Japanese original, he managed to weaken Shadow, to the point of giving him a hard time to get up. Badass moment right there!
** After taking out Knuckles, Shadow walks over to make sure his opponent is knocked out, and can't see him collapse from exhaustion, revealing he had actually forced him to take his energy rings off. For whatever reason, the English dub cuts this to make it look like a full-on NoSell.

* [[spoiler:Shadow]]'s HeelFaceTurn and subsequent HeroicSacrifice.
** [[spoiler: A DisneyDeath, apparently.]]
** It was most awesome in the original Japanese version, where after he remembers Maria's wish once again, he breaks his inhibitor rings and yells "I am Shadow! Shadow the Hedgehog! Can you hear me?!", and then sacrifices himself.
** Even better? The moment he remembers Maria's wish, [[AutobotsRockOut Live and Learn]] plays at full force!

* After [[spoiler: Sonic gets eaten by the Final Mova]], Sonic is left to run in a strange realm as Dark Oak starts trying to demoralize him. As Sonic runs, Dark Oak gives him a BreakingSpeech on how it is futile to think he is truly free, as there will always violence and destruction wherever he goes. Sonic then proceeds to lightly rebut him [[ShutUpHannibal and continue running faster, not minding a word he says after]], allowing him to escape. For a few people who have watched this show, Sonic has always been seen as carefree (almost to the point of being a jerk), and something of an open book to many, not having any significant traits other than that. But this shows that this is just the part of him that he embraces and lives by, never questioning his belief to be free despite life's hardships. For a character in a sea of Angsty and KnightOfCerebus characters, he is content the way he is.
** Also worth mentioning is that while this is going on, [[spoiler: as Sonic lay helpless in the aquatic planet]], most of the heroes' crew believe there isn't much (if anything) they can do for him at that moment before formulating a plan. Amy, however, is determined to do whatever it takes to save him; not for any selfish reasons related to her feelings for him, but because it's the right thing to do. This eventually leads to her [[spoiler: charging at the Final Mova head-on in her ship, ejecting when it gets entangled by the creature's vines and falling in the planet where she's caught by Sonic, the both of them saved by the Planet Egg]]. Amy's efforts to save him are rewarded with some subtle shots, spending the majority of her time with Sonic at the end of Episode 76 and the beginning of Episode 77 [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther holding hands and onto each other, both hedgehogs finding comfort in one another's presence]]. A badass show of determination on Amy's part; also counts as [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarming]] for [=SonAmy=] shippers.

* Cosmo's [[spoiler:death]] is a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, a TearJerker and [[CherryBlossoms exceptionally pretty to boot]].

* And speaking of Cream, the 36th issue of the Archie Comic adaptation (it's the one where Chris signs Sonic up for a pet show to; A, get the Chaos Emerald that would be used as the prize so it doesn't fall into the hands of Eggman, who signs Bokkun up in [[PaperThinDisguise the piss-poor disguise of a cat]], and B, to stand up to Milan, a SpoiledBrat rival of his) has her pretty much saving the day with Sonic in her own way.

And Cream even tells off Milan with one sentence; "If you ask me, it takes a real winner to be kind and generous, Milan." It's very awesome, not to mention a bit of a BigLippedAlligatorMoment, since Cream [[PutOnABus hasn't used her sonic scream for quite some time.]] Nevertheless, Cream's mother would likely be very proud.

* Eggman and his henchmen get one of these in the Sonic X episode "Teasing Time" ("Black Trap" in the Japanese version) when they beat their way into a Metarex base in order to rescue Sonic. [[WhatTheHellHero He then proceeds to reprimand Sonic for his angry Dark-Chaos-Fueled behaviour]] (which sounds ''awesome'' even in the Creator/FourKidsEntertainment dub). Sonic calms down. Actually, he looks a little guilty.

-->(''[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Sonic snaps out of his rage upon realising]]'')

-->'''Eggman''': Listen, Sonic. [[DisappointedInYou I'm really disappointed in you.]] From now on, be careful not to let your ''temper'' get out of control. Or one of these days, [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope you might find you're]] ''[[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope always]]'' [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope angry!]] Just like ''another'' hedgehog we know. You should get out of here. [[YouAreTooLate Don't worry about your crewmates... Shadow]] ''[[YouAreTooLate already]]'' [[YouAreTooLate rescued them.]]
