The Truth About Chaos Control

“But his most remarkable feat is “Chaos Control.” By tapping into the power of a Chaos Emerald, he can warp space and time, moving freely and dominating the competition. I’m… Still working on replicating the technique.”

-Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik, Shadow 101: A Brief History of Shadow the Hedgehog

If you know Shadow the Hedgehog, you know Chaos Control, the iconic move that’s associated with him. Eggman’s description says it all, you use a Chaos Emerald to teleport or freeze time.

…

But do you need a Chaos Emerald?

I’m going to delve into the history of Chaos Control, and really get to the bottom of this, and whether this piece of common knowledge has any weight to it or not.

This document talks about the following entries:

Sonic Adventure 2

Sonic Battle

Sonic Heroes

Shadow the Hedgehog (2005)

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)

Sonic Rivals

Sonic Rivals 2

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW Comics) Issue #59

First thing I want to establish is that this limitation was even established in the first place, and not just a recent addition. Fortunately, that’s not very difficult, as we get statements in Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Sonic 06, Sonic Rivals, and his Sonic Channel profile that all claim he uses Chaos Emeralds for Chaos Control.

Sonic Adventure 2 (US manual), page 7 (the scan just cuts like that, I presume it’s an error on the actual page as well?)

Sonic Heroes (English manual), page 6

Sonic Rivals official website (archived) (visual error is likely due to imperfect emulation of the original website)

SA2 even presents warping with an artificial Chaos Emerald as an impressive feat, implying that doing so without one at all is impossible. Only for Shadow to immediately use Chaos Control seconds later in his fight against Sonic (and we know it’s Chaos Control despite him not shouting the phrase as it looks identical when Sonic does it, who does shout Chaos Control as part of teleporting).

So what gives?

Is it maybe a matter of proximity to the Chaos Emeralds? That would line up with the Biolizard using Chaos Control in front of the heroes, Metal Overlord using Chaos Control against Team Super Sonic, or Devil Doom using Chaos Control near Super Shadow, or Metal Sonic using Chaos Control when racing against Shadow.

Except that can’t be the case, as Shadow can use Chaos Control even while on the other side of the Black Comet. Well, maybe the range is surprisingly generous, only needing Shadow to be vaguely a city’s worth of distance away?

It can’t be that either, Shadow can use Chaos Control while in Chaotic Inferno, a whole universe away (and Rouge left behind the 6 Chaos Emeralds), but laments that he cannot escape from this universe without one when the portal closes, despite Metal Sonic’s Chaos Emerald quite literally being right next to him.

Is there any explanation at all? Well, kind of.

In Sonic Battle, almost all of Shadow’s moves are described as using Chaos Control

A list of such moves:

Shadow Dash

S. Teleport

Shadow Guard

Shadow Heal

C. Nightmare

Chaos Upper

Chaos Magic

Air C. Magic

Chaos Burst (implied via Air C. Burst)

Air C. Burst

??? (Shadow)

In story, Shadow’s power to fight is attributed to his Chaos Emerald. But when he surrenders his Chaos Emerald to Emerl, he reassures that he’ll be able to continue fighting despite the lack of the Chaos Emerald as “I no longer need it. I have Maria in my heart.” Which simultaneously suggests that physical possession (or extremely close proximity) is required in order to use Chaos Control normally, and that there are ways to utilise it without a Chaos Emerald.

… That explanation works for Shadow, and it’s possible to handwave it away with Metal Sonic (after all, it’s copying abilities allowed it to become one of the most powerful characters in Sonic canon, superior to solo super forms which are powered by 7 Chaos Emeralds), but what about the Biolizard? Devil Doom? Shadow himself during Shadow the Hedgehog (2005)’s Last Story? Those can’t be under the same conditions.

Is there an explanation that can account for everything?

Well, there is one…

In the IDW Comics, in issue #59 (part 3 of the Urban Warfare arc), on page 11, Shadow makes a claim regarding his use of Chaos Control.

“I don’t have the energy to perform Chaos Control without an emerald.”

The power of the Chaos Emeralds are considered a form of energy, dubbed Chaos Energy, or Chaos Emerald Energy, or- you get the idea. We’ve seen non-Chaos Emerald objects hold them before, like the Chaos Drives invented by Professor Gerald. It’s plausible that the various times Shadow (and other such characters) used Chaos Control without a Chaos Emerald were derived from using leftover energy from when they had prior possessed a Chaos Emerald (or Metal Sonic’s copying abilities, which let him compete with Super Forms directly).

Afterall, the Chaos Emeralds turn your thoughts into power, and has been described as being enriched by the heart. Having the bond of someone close to you etched into your heart could have such an effect to amplify the Chaos Energy leftover, at least enough to delay running out for some time.

Happy pride! Here's some headcanons.

In-depth explanations beneath the cut (please keep in mind that these are personal and that I actually don't really stand by any that strongly! This is just for fun.)

Sonic: okay do I really need to explain this one?

Knuckles: What can I say, his gender contains multitudes. He's definitely a member of the "I don't care" camp for both gender and sexuality. He is what he is, loves who he loves, and doesn't give two rips about what other people might say. I like to imagine he plays around with both genders of clothing from echidna culture.

Amy: oh Amy, my sweet summer child. It's so autistic and queer of you to relentlessly declare your love for someone of the opposite sex because it's what is expected of you. I did the same in third grade before I realized that the other girls meant what they were saying about their target boy. Heteronormativity is a bitch, get well soon <3

Rouge: I think she fucked around with being she/they for a while before settling back on she/her. And bi icon, of course.

Blaze: okay do I really need to explain this one?

Silver: That is one nonbinary hedgehog if I ever saw one! He's a he/him by convenience alone. He hasn't had the chance to explore his sexuality yet unfortunately.

Big: He's good with he/him and that's all he cares about. Not a super strong connection to his assigned gender at birth but he likes being a boy well enough. As for his sexuality, he never figured out what everyone was going on about when it came to sex, and only recently figured out it was because he was literally missing that 'sexual attraction' thing.

Shadow: is nonbinary as fuck and has no idea. Honey, seeing masculinity as a burden you have to bear is not normal!!! He's also demi-ace. It takes a very close relationship with someone to even consider sexual attraction.

Cream: happy being a girl! Hasn't really thought about crushing on anyone yet.

Tails: Internalized homophobia + transphobia from being bullied go brrrrrr. Besides, Sonic doesn't spend much time thinking about these things, so why should he? (Tails. Tails listen to me. Sonic's aro and knew he was trans at an unusually young age. he's a statistical outlier with how early he figured it out PLEASE consider that and don't base your self-discovery journey on him. . .)

Metal: You all know my headcanons for this one. Metal was assigned male by Eggman from its earliest iterations and gender dysphoria is literally 98% of all of its problems. Please get this robot some estrogen. As for sexuality, full romantic attraction is definitely on the table but jesus christ this robot needs to do some work on itself before that. Please read Complex Inquiries if you want me to elaborate that's like my master's thesis on this subject

Vector: Gave his gender a really good thinking before shrugging and sticking with his assigned gender at birth. Also pan as hell, definitely dated some femboys in high school I think.

Espio: Currently in the process of speculating if he's nonbinary. Keeps very quiet about it though. But he knows he likes dudes, so there's that.

Charmy: He's bit-sexual. Whatever he needs to be for the punchline of the joke to land, frankly.

Omega: For narrative parallel reasons to Metal Sonic, I love to headcanon that Omega wasn't programmed with a gender, but then discovered that masculinity is traditionally associated with aggression and violence and went ham. Doesn't mind getting she/her'd, doesn't exactly like they/them, but it/its is of the highest offense. He will kill you for that. As for his sexuality, (I know he's a robot but PLEASE hear me out) he's demi-aro! He'd have no idea that any sort of feelings on his part are happening until it was too late. He'd hate himself for it and promptly bury said feelings beneath so many layers.

Alright y'all, it's the legend, the queen, the icon, everyone's favorite bat, everyone's furry awakening, the lovely jewel theif, Rouge The Bat, ABOB-ified!

Rouge is 28 years old, birthday is July 26th, 1996. She is Pansexual and 4'9 feet tall. She goes by She/Her pronouns. She is a bright white-furred little brown Mobian bat with black wings, tan skin, curvy body, large ears, and turquoise eyes. She styles her “hair” in an interesting manner, two long strips of white in front, and the rest of her hair is cut into short bob-like spikes that curve outward. She wears dark purple gloves, pale purple tube top, black jeans, white and dark purple boots with gold bands, a belly button piercing, three piercings on each of her ears, and a black and gold star necklace. Nothing short of an enigma, Rouge’s morals and goals are always in question. Most of the time, she has herself in mind. She’s a strong-minded, bold, seductive, sassy, and smart mercenary, but still loyal to the people she loves the most. Once she has a target in mind, nothing can stop her from accomplishing her mission. She used to be a part-time government agent who underwent extensive, grueling training. She also used it as a chance to hone her thieving skills, known to be a brilliant spy one minute and a gem-obsessed treasure hunter the next. She’s proven herself to be a rather fearsome individual. Unlike Knuckles, most of her strength lies in her legs and feet, giving her the ability to kick down metal walls and boulders. A true girlboss. She’s rather flirtatious with anyone around her age, and loves seducing others, men, women, people, and Mobians alike.

Silver had finally confronted the monster that had caused so much damage across his home city. Hospitals', schools', churches', and homes' were all destroyed. He had heard the rumors about who was doing it.

But he couldn't believe them. Sonic was dead, so how could it be him? He was a fool, and he knew that now, though at the same time his thoughts had truth about this thing, it wasn't Sonic; at least he didn't want to believe it was; it was simply a computer program gone rouge.

This is the first time he's seen this thing up close, and Silver was filled with rage knowing this thing had used his friend's face to perpetrate so many heinous deeds, not only his face but his voice and his mannerisms that smiled—the smile he had grown so fond of.

Silver stayed calm, though he wouldn't let his feelings get the better of him. He took a deep breath and stood in front of Hologram, who was just smiling at him. The smile was eerie and cold.

"Why?..."

That was all Silver could ask as he stared at the monster in front of him.

Hologram soon let out a hearty laugh before striking a snarky pose and faded away before suddenly appearing right in front of Silver for a moment.

"Why? Because they destroyed my legacy Silver, I was once a hero, and now? I'm a product placement and advertising thing I would never endorse. Even sweat shops use my likeness. 

They don't see me for what I was; they see me as an advertising ploy, a way to use my likeness to make all these greedy people money, and I'm sick of it!"

Silver scoffed and waved his hand to disrupt the hologram's body; this made Hologram disappear and appear a few feet away from the other hedgehog, annoyed.

"You're not Sonic, because Sonic would never do this; the Sonic I know fights injustice; if anything, you're just a cheap copy that even Metal Sonic pulls off better."

Hologram turned red and grew in size before shouting loudly with a more robotic-sounding voice that was a bit distorted.

"I'M NOTHING LIKE METAL SONIC, I DON'T JUST THINK I'M SONIC, I KNOW I AM THE REAL SONIC, I'M NOT JUST A FUCKING UNTHINKING MACHINE, I HAVE MY MIND, I HAVE MY LOOKS, PERSONALITY, MEMORIES, EMOTIONS!"

Silver took a step back with a worried look on his face, but still had visible disgust and a hint of pity.

"One day you will realize your wrong... Hologram, but I'll humor you for now, 'Sonic' if you really were him, you'd snap out of it by now and realize what your doing is wrong."

"If you want to prove your 'Sonic' then please just stop; there is a better way of going about this! No one else has to die! I already had to accept your death once. Sure, I can visit you in the past if I want. 

But I've seen you buried, and I can't bring myself to hurt you, even if you're not really him. Please prove you're still a hero and stand down. Think about the damage you've done. Just STOP!"

Hologram's face darkened; it disappeared completely as he thought about Silver's words. If he had a working heart, it would be beating right now. He questioned himself for a moment but soon stopped as a red glow appeared where one of his eyes should be.

"I'm sorry, Silver; I'm afraid I can't do that."

And before Silver could respond, he noticed something: he didn't see Techie with Hologram.

"Where is Kaboo-?"

An explosion was heard off in the distance, and loud screaming could be heard along with a large smoke cloud filling the sky. Silver turned around to look at it in utter awe and horror.

Hologram appeared right behind Silver, the red glow completely covering the other hedgehog as he whispered, "Go on, 'hero' save the day; you always told me you wanted to be a hero like me, so prove it and go die like one too."

Silver had tears fall down his face as he heard Hologram say this, and he turned around in an attempt to punch him, forgetting he was intangible, and he shouted loudly. "SHUT THE HELL UP, FAKER!"

Hologram just looked at him with that iconic smug smirk he had always seen Sonic look at Eggman with and responded one last time.

"Heh, well, I gotta skedaddle, old buddy, but I'll see you again later; this hedgehog's got a busy day napping ahead of him. Good luck, buddy! I believe in you." 

And like the smug bastard he was, he blew a kiss at Silver and winked before disappearing as quickly as he appeared.

Silver's heart skipped a beat for a moment, but he soon shook his head and wiped tears from his eye before heading towards the city in an attempt to save what lives he could from whatever this imposter did. 

While Techie and Hologram escaped the crime scene before he could get there, this wasn't the last encounter they'd have, but Silver knew that he needed to stop Hologram at any cost, feelings be damned.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but personally I don't want to see Amy introduced to the cinematic Sonic universe in Movie 3/Shadow's story.

I am not super invested in the movies because I simply don't care for live action adaptations, but I was disappointed that the 3rd movie was going to be Shadow and not Metal Sonic.

Obviously Shadow was going to happen at some point because his story is iconic, but Metal Sonic is also a really great choice especially for the cinematic universe with the live action characters. Eggman attempting to create a robot with Sonic's speed/abilities is also an iconic moment in the series. Naturally I think introducing Amy and Metal together would be very convenient even if it plays out differently from Sonic CD. I think going the way of the Sonic OVA where there's an arc about Metal's humanity as a robot would be a really great story especially with Amy who advocated for Gamma's humanity in Sonic Adventure 1 which was a huge moment for her character for standing up to Sonic for what she believes in. I think she would work really well if they worked her story in a more meaningful way like that with Metal Sonic and it would make her dynamic with Sonic really work as she isn't just a damsel or a fangirl like how she appears in CD.

Now that we are getting Shadow before Metal, I just hope that Shadow doesn't completely outshine Metal if they make a fourth movie.

Perhaps we will get Amy and Metal in another movie where they can get significantly more attention, and then maybe they could cap off the cinematic universe with Perfect Chaos/Sonic Adventure 1 which would be a really epic ending. I honestly don't think it is realistic to continue these movies for very long because people age, especially the child actors. Personally I think ending a series on a good note is better than trying to keep it going—and yeah, I don't expect Silver or Blaze because the more characters they add, the more expensive these movies will be with all the CGI. Just look at the "Knuckles" TV show which couldn't even afford to have Knuckles on screen most of the series, so I don't think they'll just keep adding more and more like the Chaotix, Cream, Big, Omega, etc besides small cameos.

As for Rouge, honestly I think she would have been quite easy to add into the movie with Shadow since she debuted in the same game and story that Shadow did. She could have been a good foil to Knuckles, but unfortunately I think they are skipping her entirely.

Oh and perhaps a really really unpopular opinion, but I hope that they actually have the guts to let Shadow die because it's a good moment in SA2, and since I don't particularly think continuing the cinematic universe for very long is a good idea, letting Shadow actually die would really cap off his story.

Again, I'm not really invested in live action adaptations in general, but that's my 2 cents. At least we've been getting absolutely beautiful animated shorts like for Frontiers and Sonic X Shadow Generations.

Anyway TLDR: I think Amy deserves a movie with Metal Sonic where it can focus on her, and I am disappointed that it looks like Rouge just won't be introduced in the movies—and even if they add her to a spin of series, they won't spend the money for her to actually be on screen much at all.
