Chaos Emerald Theory - Tumblr Posts
Okay, so I just remembered this moment from the Archie comics while reading this theory:
For years, there were basically thousands, if not millions of chaos emeralds scattered across different planets within the Archie comics. Tails is prophesied to bring about ”the Great Harmony” to unify them all into the 7 we know from the games. The Sonic 2 movie claiming that the Chaos Emeralds all come from the Master Emerald may be a callback to this moment? (Fun fact: there’s one last panel to this page that i cropped out, but Tails says that he hopes something ”special” happens to the Zone of Silence with so much power being stored away there, which is in reference to the fact that the Zone of Silence is called the Special Zone in the games and is where you go to get the Chaos Emeralds normally. I just thought that was cool).

[SPOILERS FOR SONIC 2]
I kept not writing this post because I have adhd. but I don’t want to do homework, so I’m doing this instead.
If you’ve followed me or apparently movie fans for a while, you have a grasp of the chaos emerald theory. If not, please read it here [💎]
me and my sister, @autisticshadowthehedgehog have gotten a lot of messages, asks, etc. about the staus of the theory post sonic 2
This post is going to be a LOT shorter than the previous, because personally I don’t believe there’s a lot to cover.
“Is the Chaos Emerald Theory dead?”
No, it just needs amended. Changes need to be made but the base theory still stands.
We proved something in that post, Sonic, specifically his power, is connected to the Chaos Emeralds. Sonic 2020 had a leading theme of his power, Longclaw assumed it’s what the echidnas were after, it’s what Robotnik was after and specifically “seeing what makes him tick.”
I don’t need to repeat everything in the original post, but nothing raised in there was answered in Sonic 2022. The Chaos Emeralds showed up, yes, they never explained Sonic’s power. Where it comes from, what it is, and why it does things previously established by other Sonic canons as something you can only do with a Chaos Emerald. The only addition is Knuckles who has the same power, and Tails who I’m fully convinced also does.
This also shows up in Sonic 2022, Continuing Chaos Emerald sound effects around Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic loosing his speed around the Master Emerald powered Robot, Sonic’s power opening the secret in the map, the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds having the same lighting and eye-glow effect as Sonic and Knuckles so, and I’m certain other things I didn’t notice that I wouldn’t be able to see until we get a full rip.
@autisticshadowthehedgehog recently made her own post talking about some of the things we discussed. Something she does that I avoid is getting into more specific ideas. In her own words she “goes sticks the badger.” [💎] She talks about throwing things in, stuff she’s come up with, stuff we’ve talked about, etc. All hypotheticals that would be interesting.
In the previous theory, there was one specific thing that convinced me, that being the Chaos Emerald sound effect, which was the tip of the scale and caused me to write and post it to begin with. This time, I have a similar tip of the scale that convinces me it’s still alive in some way or another:
Sonic may not be a physical Chaos Emerald, but we’ve done our job of laying out the clear connections that haven’t been there in previous canons, connections I believe will be tackled in future movies.
