- The demise of Hip, the robotic baby hedgehog: Hip was a surveillance robot built by Robotnik to trick the SU into finding Sanctuary, a freedom fighter orphanage. Manic had grown fond of Hip, thinking it was a real baby. When a fight led to Hip falling from high in mid-air, Manic tried desperately to save the robot, only to fail as it smashed into the ground, revealing the truth and causing him to cry. You honestly can't say for sure what was harder for Manic to process: the Robotic Reveal or that he watched helplessly as a baby he cherished died right in front of him. Even worse, there was an indication that Hip had become sentient, as it dreamed of playing drums with Manic.
- ART's demise in "Art of Destruction" comes off as this as well, since he hadn't long redeemed himself and was about to be crushed to death. He willingly let himself perish to let the siblings escape, even blowing a hole in a wall to give them their chance to get out of there before he succumbed to the crushers. In the episode's ending, Manic decided to lay numerous explosives around Robotropolis, Sonia saying that it would definitely set the whole place alight. Cue the explosions, and Manic reveals that it wasn't out of vengeance against Robotnik, but as a way to pay tribute to ART's noble sacrifice.
Manic: I just thought I'd put on a little light show... in memory of ART.
Sonic and Sonia together: In memory of ART.
- The hedgehogs’ corrupt mirror selves crying over the desolate state of the city in “Six Is A Crowd”.Mirror!Sonia: Poor little girl...
