Commentary
for May 5, 2022:
Today in making
more work for myself than I actually need to do, I ended up
completely re-making Freedom HQ. Didn’t take quite as long as
yesterday’s page, or maybe I just started working on it earlier in
the day... Nah, I didn’t take as long working on that stuff, I’m
pretty sure. I just needed to prepare a few more assets based on the
stuff I’d already done, so that was easy enough.
Anyway, a note on Sonic lore here. Prior to the anime,
Sonic X, there was no explanation for why the Chaos Emeralds
always seemed to be scattered at the start of a new Sonic
game. It was usually just a plot contrivance to make the characters
go to next location or to justify the existence of a special stage.
But I guess someone on the writing team for Sonic X did ask
the question; why do these gems always end up scattered again after
every adventure? And they came up with the explanation that the
Chaos Emeralds disappear after their energy is released and then
turn up again elsewhere. I don’t recall if Sonic X (a cartoon
that is almost twenty years old at this point and I haven’t seen in
many years now myself) ever explained the mechanics behind this, but
it fits in nicely with the Chaos Emeralds’ relationship with Chaos
Control and how I’ve imagined their properties for Eon’s World.
This tendency to disappear is the reason the Freedom Fighters were
keeping the Chaos Emeralds in North Cave prior to Chapter 17. That
was, of course, a call-back to early European Sonic lore (in
particular, Fleetway’s Sonic the Comic), but also because the
cold temperatures kept the emeralds stable and prevented them from
disappearing like that. |
