Amy gets a boyfriend, but he's abusive.
"Amy's Boyfriend" contains examples of:
- An Aesop: If someone is abusing you, leave him/her.
- Asshole Victim: Ace, duh.
- Big Brother Instinct: Sonic doesn't take her abuse too lightly.
- Broken Bird: Amy, though she does get better.
- Continuity Nod:
- Tails mentions the fact that he and Cream are legally married, nodding to "The Wedding."
- Curse Cut Short:Ace: I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO THERE YOU BASTAR-Ace: You son of a bit-
- Darker and Edgier: More like Darker and Depressinger.
- Domestic Abuse:
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Unlike a certain other episode about abuse, the first chapter's name, Screams of Silence is actually accurate, as most of the abuse happens without the characters knowing it.
- The only exception is Tails.
- Flat Character: Ace appears once in this episode, then disappears.
- However, Alex Field stated an upcoming episode will involve Ace kidnapping Amy.
- Knight Templar Big Brother: Sonic is willing to fight someone abusing Amy. Not that the guy didn't deserve it.
- Let's Get Dangerous!:Sonic: Ok that's it!
- Love Martyr:
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
- Rape as Drama: It's heavily implied in chapter 2 that Ace forced himself on Amy, despite her only being a child/pre-teen.
- Sadist: Ace, probably.
- Shout-Out: Both chapter titles are references to Family Guy episodes.
- Sound-Effect Bleep: When Tails sweared, it's censored out with a fox noise.
- This is also a funny moment as Tails is a fox.
- Very Special Episode: Probably the darkest and most realistic episode thus far.
- Would Hit a Girl / Would Hurt a Child: Falls under both as Amy is both a girl, and a child.
