Sonic the Hedgehog Online
Issue 248
- In issue #248, Cream takes it up on herself to distract the Tails Doll during its rampage. The reason? She believes that she was the one responsible for the Tails Doll's attacks, and wants to make up for it.
- Even then, she doesn't directly attack it—she instead tries to talk the Tails Doll out of its evil endeavors. It's touching seeing Cream try to give the doll a second chance, even if it didn't work.
Issue 249
- Issue #249 has the deroboticization of Mecha Sally. After being used as a tool for Dr. Eggman's ultimate scheme, Sonic saves Mecha Sally just before she self-destructs. Sonic is shown crying Tears of Joy when he hugs Sally's now de-roboticized body. When Sally wakes up, she's in shock, but it doesn't take long to see her former flame standing before her, as the two finally embrace each other.
Issue 250
- Issue #250 is full of heartwarming moments. What do you expect? Sally is back to normal!
- As Sally is exiting from the lab, she is caught off guard by a huge crowd of citizens cheering for her return. These citizens include supporting and minor characters that haven't been seen for issues.
- The Secret Freedom Fighters are celebrating her return too. Elias sheds a tear to see his sister in flesh again, Larry is crying and the twins are hugging.
- As Sally begins to break down over the guilt of Mecha Sally's actions, Sonic reassures her that she is not, never was, nor never will be the monster Mecha Sally was.
- Sally's reunion with her parents, she throws herself into their arms as they embrace.
- Sonic tries to leave the Acorn family alone for a bit, but Sally grabs his hand and pleads for him not to leave. It's this act that shows how Sally considers Sonic a part of her family too.
- NICOLE's reunion with Saly have them tearfully hug each other, reminding readers that they're always True Companions, through thick and thin.
- After NICOLE and Mina reveal to Sally that they resolved their differences, they share an adorable fist bump.
- In "Birds of a Feather", Knuckles, who understands what Sally's been through as Mecha Sally due to his time as Enerjak, gives Sally a pep talk.
- Knuckles says things are finally starting to get better for him, while we're greeted with a group shot of the Chaotix. The group shot includes Julie-Su and Saffron and the issue takes place after the Endangered Species series in the Timeline (likely due to Schedule Slip), so it's clear that the Endangered Species series will have a happy ending.
Issue 252
- During the chaos that the mutated Geoffrey-Naugus is causing, Elias is shown prioritizing rescuing the citizens, whose Fair-Weather Friend attitude enhanced by Naugus's magic had him ousted. Over the course of two pages, the man personally rescues several people and led the evacuation to their gratitude. By the end, a commander from the Acorn Military assures they handle the remaining citizens while the True King joins the battle where he's needed with the Freedom Fighters.
- He doesn't realize it, but this moment proves that he's his father's son in the best way possible as its reminiscent of Max's more heroic moments, including when he donned armor and led the Royal Army on an attack on Robotropolis so many years ago.
Issue 253
- Geoffrey and Hershey reuniting after Geoffrey presumed she was dead.
Knuckles: Endangered Species
Issue 1
- Saffron comforts a young Echidna by giving him a doll, reassuring him that Albion will be saved by the Chaotix.
- Crystal-La is giddy when she sees Knuckles and his friends, jubilantly taking out a legionnaire while celebrating the Avatar's return.
- For fans of Julie-Su, Lien-Da, Saffron, Remington and perhaps every other Echidna, seeing them again is immediately this, given how all were literally Exiled from Continuity in the past thanks to copyright.
Issue 3
- The entire ending is this, especially in comparison to the published version of Endangered Species. Whereas the published version was a full on Downer Ending for Knuckles, with Thrash successfully banishing Julie-Su, Saffron, and all of Albion's echidnas to an undisclosed location and getting away scot-free, meaning that Knux never gets to save his race and reveal to them the truth about his time as Enerjak, the online version has him successfully convince Thrash to pull a Heel–Face Turn (even if he now has to find a way to restore the Tasmanian Devil race), save Albion with the help of his allies, and come clean to Albion's citizens (and his own family) about being Enerjak—to which he's forgiven by everyone. It's a massive case of Earn Your Happy Ending for Knuckles a full decade in the making.
- The camaraderie between Julie-Su and Vector grew so much since their initial hostilities towards each other, that they give each other a fist-bump when they reunite on Angel Island.
Sonic Universe Online
Issue 50
- Sonic, Manic, and Sonia are finally reunited with their mother and never have to worry about being separated again.
