When we're done with the Fearless Year of Shadow, I'm so down for the GOATED Year of Silver. My boy needs his story and character course corrected. Blaze is still largely a good character but mostly because they never ruined her by putting her in more games. I do hope we see her and Eggman -REDACTED- again though. If they could somehow naturally create a story where the two of them come together again, I think there's a lot of potential there. They are personally my favorite characters to write for since they have so little material. EDIT after finishing the video: OMG you have a fantastic singing voice wtf
i’d love to see how they’d redo Silver’s gameplay too. maybe we’d have a skill tree for his psychokinesis, and same for Blaze with her pyrokinesis. and thank you so much that’s so kind of you! i’m just so obsessed with Dreams of an Absolution i had to sing it
Blaze is literally my favorite Sonic character ever like woah she’s so cool. Also we did actually get to go to her dimension in Sonic Rush Adventure, but i think you’re point still stands because that game was more Marine’s game than Blaze. We didn’t learn about her kingdom or her family or anything
that was the point i meant to get across actually. i want a game exploring what the Sol Dimension looks like. how their society functions, what Blaze is in control of. i’d love to see that!
Silver and Blaze’s relationship is one of my most favorite stories I’ve seen told before. It’s such a unique and inspiring piece of art and I hope one day SEGA decides to revisit and maybe even improve upon it. But, until then, I guess we’ll have to wait.
Blaze is literally an alternate sonic and she is badass I want to see a blaze the cat spinoff because she absolutely deserves a game in her own alternate reality
I completely agree with your points! Silver and Blaze hold a special place. I remember watching Sonic X and waiting for a Season 4 so that Silver and Blaze would appear. Just like you I would replay Dreams of Absolution constantly and Silvaze was probably my first Sonic ship (one that I still ship to this day). Seeing how great Shadow has been treated this year gives me hope that one day these two will get the spotlight they deserve.
Blaze's reputation got dragged through the mud when 06 came out. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't mind if Blaze and Silver were explored more as friends but I think Blaze holds her own and deserves better. Growing up I didn't own any home consoles and was stuck with the cheaper GBA and DS games. I got Sonic Rush when I was like 6 and Blaze's story of being bullied and developing a lack of trust when it comes to making friends really stuck with me since I related to it a lot as a kid. Having a character like that in my life helped me through so much and truth be told it still does. It's such a shame since I didn't know 06 was a thing until I got access to the internet at like 10 or 11 and learned she was being dunked on as a character just because she was paired up with Silver. It really doesn't help that the internet would just bash anything Sonic related during the early to late 2000s either.
Agreed, kinda a middle finger to us Blaze fans that she went from a MC in Sonic Rush who is a princess from another dimension that could match Sonic to a support character from the future that gets "killed off" to prop up Silver as a MC in 06, in the space of barely a year. I don't mind Silver and Blaze as friends but only if both are treated as equals (both power and narrative wise) instead of Blaze being treated as a trophy love interest that's food to the "only the hedgehog trio (Sonic, Shadow and Silver) should be the only MCs forever" narrative which I honestly heavily dislike, possibly an unpopular opinion I guess?
Fun fact, the person who wrote Silver's theme said it helped him deal with a particularly bad break up with a previous boyfriend of his. which does give blaze and silver that feeling that there may be a romance between the two. (that panel with sonic saying they're good for each, seems to imply he ships them) but I doubt we'll ever see that aspect explored since Sega won't allow sonic characters to form relationships
Nite and Don are an exception because they were pitched to sega as a gay couple from the get go, so the idw comic wouldn't have to develop their relationship
You took the words right out of my mouth! Glad to see someone who also agrees the same with me on Silver and Blaze. I also really like your interpretation of the Blaze and Silver duo, what makes them different from Sonic and Tails is that they're not a leader and sidekick relationship, they're just a dynamic duo that compliment each other very well, and both equals in that sense. One thing I wanna say though is that while I'd love a Silver and Blaze game, I'd honestly argue that Blaze needs her own standalone game as well because she has even more potential as a character for all the reasons you stated like the fact that Blaze's own dimension should be explored more, and most importantly Blaze and Cream should be together again like with Sonic Rush. I also imagine Blaze and Knuckles to get along well (even though throughout her story in Rush it was actually the opposite) since they both share basically the same role, Blaze guards the Sol Emeralds, Knuckles guards the Master Emerald, and both are serious about their job. Alot going on with her character which hasn't been expanded upon sadly. I think I yapped a bit too much there but yeah, Silver and Blaze are both among my top 3 favorite Sonic characters (and All Hail Shadow because he's obviously 1st place), and they are heavily slept on, both as a duo and as individual characters. They should also get the same treatment Shadow is getting for this year. I may be asking too much so I think the least Sega could do is just make them have important roles again in a future Sonic game.
Ikr, there's so much wasted potential with silver and blaze, even though we did get to take a peep into blaze's world, it hasn't been fully realised. Imagine an open world blaze and silver game like sonic frontiers but taking place in the sol dimension, and you can shoot fire and fly. That would be so sick. You've earned a sub.
Its always nice to see a passionate video about the squandered potential of Sonic characters. There's PLENTY of missed potential in this series, unfortunately, and, like you said in the video, I agree that a good way to remedy that is through spinoffs. Part of why I love the IDW Sonic comics so much is that it gives us an opportunity to see these lesser used characters like Cream, Vanilla, the Chaotix, and of course Silver and Blaze. With Blaze I typically prefer her being from the Sol Dimension rather than going with the Sonic 06 retcon that made her part of Silver's future timeline but I can definitely see why you like what Sonic 06 did with the two as a duo, it added a lot of emotional connections to them which makes the villains feel like a lot more of a threat (I used to be a huge Mephiles fanboy partly because of the way he toys with Silver and Shadow)
I really want Silver and Blaze to come back and be given a second chance to shine and be allowed to be far more than just cameos or bonus additions to a roster that doesn't use them to their fullest potential. I really hope that Silver and Blaze have their chance in the spotlight soon because these two have an incredible bond and they deserve to be a part of the main cast just like the others. They have a strong dynamic of being two characters who are completely different in how they function and yet, they complete and strengthen each other's weaknesses, making up for their shortcoming with their strengths. Seeing Blaze in Rush be this brave and compassionate princess who takes matters into her own hands was great to see and I wish she got a chance to be even more fleshed out in the games. I also adore Silver in the 06 game and while I can understand people's grip with Silver and the game, I still love Silver due to how he always tried to keep a bright smile and not falter for the sake of the people close to him. He is a person who has so much potential and deserves a second chance alongside Blaze. I can see why people might not like the recon of her origins from Rush to 06 but a nice way to see it is that 06 is like a universal reset where Blaze and Silver's lives were reset, causing them to live completely different lives from their 06 incarnations. Blaze is a standoffish and distant princess who often has the faith of others placed on her shoulders and is almost never able to be herself and enjoy her time as a normal girl depending on which version we talk about. Blaze either has the future of her Sol Dimension or the ruined future on her back and is constantly alone due to this. She is unable to express herself due to her responsibilities and duties and often feels the need to hide her true self from others and adopt the mask of a cold and decisive leader to help those around her. And yet the moment she meets Silver, she is able to be more open around him and be her true self, someone who wants connections with those around her. She likes Silver's optimism and wants to keep that quality of him at all times as she treasures his ability to remain hopeful in the most dire of situations Silver is a compassionate and kind soul who always does his best to remain optimistic even in the most dangerous situations and strives to save and protect those who matter to him. He always had the future of others on his shoulders and he had to even sacrifice his happiness to ensure a better future for others. He is always trying to be hopeful to give a glimpse of light for others and be a beacon for them. And yet when he meets Blaze, he is able to have someone who is able to guide him and keep him on the straight path. He is able to count on Blaze's counsel and cherishes her level headed approach to their issues and is able to be more focused when around her. I understand that people might not love the ship between Silver and Blaze but I really adore their dynamic, they have been fighting for a better future and have tried to live their lives to the best of their abilities and when they finally have the chance to win, they sacrifice the memories of the other for a better future. I really hope for a future game for these two and I really want the creators to explore their dynamic
I imagine if they did something similar with Year of Shadow Like, Sonic Movie 4 taking elements from either Rush or 06, then it creates the momentum for a Year of Silver/Blaze, as around 2025/2026 will be the 20th anniversary of Sonic Rush and Sonic 06 respectively. Then a Silver and Blaze game is announced as well for a 2026 release (along with the hypothetical Sonic Movie 4). And there would be a short animation to promote the Silver/Blaze game, of course. I think it would be possible like that.
There could absolutely be a way to get them together in a game, silver being from another time and blaze from another dimension or space, some kind of combination of those two ideas of alternate worlds would be cool to explore. Or they’d just retcon one of them again but please no 🥲
I absolutely love your videos!! they are awesome. I am an absolute huge sonic fan and its awesome to see people care and love about these amazing characters. I genuinely think we deserve a sonic 06 remake, because the story they were cooking Sonic, Shadow and Silver was so cool (as a dragon ball fan too).
I think it is cool that you took the plunge, putting yourself out there and sharing your thoughts and love about Sonic. I have been a fan of the franchise for 20 years and have never considered what I think about Sonic to matter enough to anyone, let alone make videos about it. Yet, I consistently see people see folks like yourself put what you think out there and let whomever clicks with you a chance to say "that was pretty neat". It is pretty neat and I hope you keep it up.
Silver was given a very bad game.. My boy had potential. I remember falling in love with his story and absolutely liking his design on Sonic 06. I wish they reboot his character in a Sonic Adventure 3. Dreams of Absolution gives me the chills to this day..
Probably my favorite duo in all of Sonic. I’d picture them having an Anakin-Obi Wan relationship where Blaze is more experienced but they both learn from each other. Why not throw Marine into this game too? If Blaze is the Sol Dimension Sonic and Marine Tails, who’s the Sol Knuckles? Shadow? I know it doesn’t make sense canonically but I’ve always headcannoned that Silver is the Sol Amy. Also great cover of Dreams of an Absolution
i was obsessed with dreams of an absolution too, i remember my uncle helping me burn a cd with that and some other music from Sonic 06 and brawl and i liked listening to that song on my cd player when i was going to sleep back then bc like dreams and stuff it was fun
I figure some of you might wanna know that, according to the Sonic wiki on Fandom, the songwriter of Dreams of an Absolution said that the lyrics were about a breakup with his ex-boyfriend.
Blaze and Silver are my favorite characters (I even cosplayed as Silver this year). I do think the classic 3 and Shadow deserve to be prioritized more since they are way bigger, but Blaze and Silver deserve their own game(s) next
I randomly just had a idea that could fix the Blaze situation; Blaze gets reincarnated into a different dimension (without prior memories), and after Silver's world is saved he finds out that Blaze is alive and in a different dimension. Unless, by 06 reconning itself, they never met... Then instead Silver wants to help other worlds and learns how to travel between dimensions and happens into the Sol Dimension in the future, and sees the world burnt to a crisp. He then goes back in time to stop this disaster from coming and meets Princess Blaze.
It's actually really interesting, since if you didn't know, Dreams Of An Absolution is a love song! The writer of the song, said in an interview, that he wrote that as a love song to one of his ex boyfriends. So the sediment romantic angle fits perfectly, because that's what the song was. But it works SO WELL for either still being romantic, but also about Silver talking about his own destiny. Recently, and also thanks to this video. I've grown an appreciation for Silver. I always loved Blaze, when I was younger I looked up to her, and just wanted to be like her, just like with Amy. I wish most Sonic characters would get a year dedicated to them. Like I know, merch sales probably wouldn't be high for Amy or Blaze, but I don't care! The opportunity to explore these characters, either looking at their past, or trying out their future, is amazing! Sure I'm glad Shadow is getting his year, he used to be my favorite Sonic character ever. But again, I do wish a lot of these other characters had the same love that the "Main Four" did (I'd say Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow are the main four. Since they get all the general merch and attention). And as a writer, who mostly makes Sonic stuff. Then it's truly a shame that Sega won't use some of their other characters. Since they have just as much potential. By the way, you did an amazing job with this video! Again, it really made me appreciate Silver a lot more than I did. I remember when I was younger, due to the hate for Sonic 06. Then I used to think "Oh, Silver is the lame Triple S Member". But no, I think people SLEPT on him now. Though he's very hard to write, since he's an optimist and realist as he said in Sonic Forces. XD I hope this video gets more attention, and I'll totally be tuning in for more of your stuff! ^W^
One of the newest comics silver and blaze relate to eachother because they completed their original goals. And they agree to take a vacation in Soleanna. I felt like a hole in my heart was filled. Because their adventure in Soeanna was originally erased and they are going there together!
I still want a Silver the Hedgehog solo game with Blaze as a playable character and part of the story. Archie proved how much you can do with Silver. And I really did like their story in Sonic 06. And Sega says "they don't remember each other" which isn't entirely true. In Sonic Colors DS, they each say that they're familiar to each other. Oh, and I like the Silvaze ship.
Sega will never make another game with Sonic as a side character. I also seriously doubt they'll make anyone playable outside the main five any time soon. P-06 is the best bet for Silver fans.
Sonic Rush was the first Sonic game that made me actually made me care about the world and story of the series. All through Blaze and her story of opening up and accepting help from others. Especially with Cream and Blaze. Great video!
Before I even watch this video let it just be said that the fact that the only 3D playable appearance of blaze the cat is Sonic '06 is a goddamn travesty.
@@bowserbreaker2515 true. And now that I'm done watching the video I can say that I get why she feels like they should be given another chance and actually have stuff made with them again that's actually the story relevant outside of like a comic book. Heck many people thought silver was going to get a game after Sonic 06 but that just never happened
I agree that Silver and Blaze deserve a spin-off game, there's soo much wasted potential in that duo. At first I didn't know much about them because they rarely appear, but in these recent years I discovered a channel in which the owner of it has his own version of Silver who does reaction videos, plays videogames, and does VR videos too. That helped me to see how much of a cute and abosolutely lovable character he can be, and he became my third favorite one beside Sonic and Shadow. After watching a video of all the cutcsenes from Sonic 06 I became more inerested in playing as Silver so I will no doubt try to download the P-06 fanmade remake of 06 after I get my own laptop PC sometime this year. I really like that Dreams of an Absolution song too, a true banger in my opinion. PS, have you ever known of the remix of it in which Jun Senoue made the music be more rock and roll style and Lee Brotherton sings the lyrics? I recommend it because I became truly impressed whith that remix after listening to it.
Great video! You have really awesome points honestly. These 2 are really underrated and need to appear more 💜especially Blaze, she has so much more potential. I would honestly say she’s just as powerful as Shadow, we just haven’t seen enough of her
Can we take a moment to think about how kinda messed up Silver's ending in 06 is? Time reset not withstanding, his future is saved from Iblis, but at the cost of the only person he really knew. Really trusted. Loved, even. Sure Iblis is gone, but his future was still in ruin, and who knows if he'd live to really see it prosper. All he's known is a fiery hell. The only light he knew was Blaze, his only friend and confidant. So what is the point of saving the world if Blaze isnt in it? But even after losing basically everything, hes still the heroic optimist who manages to rally everyone to save Sonic. Say what you will about Silver, his sincerity and strength of heart is second to none.
This video was great I LOVE Silver and Blaze and their dynamic they have always been interesting characters that need to be explored in a spin off game they're so much potential both story wise and gameplay wise also I subbed to your channel and will be DEFINITELY there for future videos, keep up the great work!
Personally I think Silver is more popular and has more appearances in recent games and media than she does. I’d still love to see more of these two in the future
I think there is a lot of untapped potential with 06 specifically and how it could play into future stories. As far as we're aware the 06 bad future is the original canon timeline before Solaris was erased and what's more that timeline, or at least remnants of it, still exists as seen in Generations where not only is crisis city still there but Iblis is obviously still there. Have a story where Silver is sent to Blaze's dimension and the two of them start to remember bits and pieces of the original time line. Perhaps finally give us an explanation on how and why Blaze was in Silver's world to begin with, either as a natural resident or a foreign entity. Perhaps the main villain is Iblis, still trapped somewhere deep inside Blaze, or perhaps fragmented and imprisoned in the sol emeralds. So much stuff you could do, so many cool stories to be told.
Silver and blaze ABSOLUTELY deserve their own game!! Blaze is SO cool and such a strong personality in a very different way to other sonic characters, it feels like a very interesting area of character to explore more.. not to mention i'd love to see more of the sol dimension! i also loved her as percival in satbk the aesthetic is PEAK AND SILVER... MY SON. I love him so much, too....... there is something about characters who embody a very specific kind of hope - the kind that can be battered and bloody yet still rises to their feet to try again - that just Gets Me Every Time. I think an "open zone" style game could really mesh well with them both!
I agree, Silver and Blaze deserve to have more exploration with their characterization and about their world. Especially Blaze's world. Since Sega is going out of their way to cleaning up the lore of Sonic, they might as well do it with Silver and Blaze -- due to the events of Sonic '06 being completely erased towards the end of the game. It would be interesting if they do something with it. I can totally see a cool gameplay of Silver. When I played Sonic '06 for the first time last year, I like Silver's gameplay. Sure, it's not perfect, but I wish the Sonic Team had more time to work on his gameplay and refine it. If they ever release a game about Silver, hopefully, they'll have the time to refine his gameplay and maybe explore more of what else he could do. :) Also, you have a nice singing voice! ^_^
I think you're already becoming/are a cool Sonictuber, your rambling is very relatable to me personally and I agree with a lot of your takes! I played Sonic Rush as a kid religiously mostly bc of Blaze bc I loveee her character (if you haven't played or watched it yet, there's a really cool Sonic Rush dub by Adrenaline Dubs too!), and her and Silver's relationship is so special to me. I also was obsessed with Dreams of an Absolution, still am tbh, and always saw it as Silver singing about Blaze, glad I'm not alone in that!
Silver is my favorite and I love Blaze, so I would love a game with them together. And when you mentioned how you ship them I said out loud "Yes Queen!"
At the very least, bringing back Sonic Rush on a home console would be cool and similar to Mario & Luigi Brothership as that game brought back a series that hadn’t been around in a long time. I’ve also thought if Silver could have a game with gameplay inspired by Gravity Rush. In those games you control gravity and decide what directionto fall. You can also throw objects a similar way to silver. It’d be cool. Also I want Sonic Riders back.
I agree silver and blaze are criminally underutilized. And its a shame because I feel they are two of the more interesting characters that haven't been fully explored yet. My only thought is if sega is determined to continue using the generations approach of old zones just keep popping up there isn't a better character to use than the litteral time traveller. And a 3d blaze game would be amazing because we could explore the soul dimensions in much more detail than a ds game can allow. Anyway just stumbled into your video and frankly I'm very impressed. And i look forward to seeing what you make in the future.
3:20 I've always called him minus Eggman around my sisters for better measure whenever we would play Sonic together, because yes I also thought that, the shortened version of negative sounded like the N-Word and I was like nope Eggman Minus it was. 5:14 I will never get over the possibility of the Sol Emerals having half the power of the Chaos Emeralds, why do I say that because there is a piece of fan art showing all of Sonic, Blaze, Silver, And Marine's Trans-Forms, Super Forms, and Sub-Forms-(aka:Dark Forms) and Blaze's Burning Blaze Form is shown as a Trans-Form in the piece of fan art, which is why I say that.
i dont think this was the intended reading, but i like to imagine "every night i will save your life/every night i will be with you" is silver constantly reliving the memory of blaze's sacrifice, imagining a better ending where he could have saved her. "and every night i will come to you/but every night it just stays the same", at the end of the day he always remembers blaze is and will stay gone. just my headcanon though ^^
Blaze should have her own game most of all. We've still have so much to learn about the Sol Dimension and her kingdom not to mention the princess herself. It would be a well blended mix of her graceful speed and powerful combat utilizing her pryokenesis. Maybe even a new power crucial to the story like...a blue flame that heals. Almost like Sonic Unleashed in a way. I think the story should be about her defending her kingdom from an ancient enemy that has a connection to her past.
Honestly, I just want Silver to be retconned into a resident from the Sol dimension. I hate that he's tied to the future, it makes sense for him in 06 sure but whenever he needs to appear he travels back in time. Just have him be apart of the current timeline and so he's with Blaze, resident of Sol, member of the royal guard or something which is why Blaze would bring him with her.
Amy is one of silver’s ancestors. Amy’s has some psychokinetic ability as evidenced by forces the fact shes able to use mere tarot cards as weapons and even a means of mobility. She is literally the only character from the present of Sonic’s dimension with any form of psychokinetic ability. This also implies that at the very least the book of Silvers family tree survives whatever new apocalypse crops up.
Id want a game where we play as Silver before and during 06, with him learning to use his powers and sending Sonic into space in 4k. I kinda hate how hes a part of a timeline that only happens if the bad end happens but its so cool.
1:58 new headcanon, Glaze the Cupcake is a character that exists in the Sol Dimension that is Blaze's equivalent of Shadow, created by a scientist gone mad aboard the... underwater... facility... DARK (its a candy factory like willy wonka's)
I will say when it comes down to the comic line of sonic saying they work well together like him and tails, doesn't imply that they are like him and tails, it's ment more on how tails and sonic have been a team for so long and are able to rely on eachother
"W Amy" exactly I'm glad you brought up the fact that Amy saved sonic ass. Also that was the second time she saved him. When Amy first saw him and thought he was sonic Silver was going to try to kill him right there. ( How cool would it have been to get a Amy vs Silver fight? Ah the potential. But yeah I agree with this entire video they deserve their own game because they're both amazing characters.
I honestly don't like the "Negative Eggman's" name and would rather they call him "Negaman" or "Neggman" or something like that, but then he would sound too similar to Megaman... Maybe they ought to pull out that really old and ret-conned name "Kintobor" which was supposed to be Robotnik's original name according to some former Sega of America writer. Also yeah, as a fellow lover of the Shadow game, I think having a Silver and Blaze spinoff will be great! Also you are so real for being willing to share that exclusive journal with us! I would only have enough budget for the Digi-Deluxe edition, so thanks!
Sega should make spin off games again. Just because it didn't work once doesn't mean it wont work again. You can make a Shadow game, a knuckles game a team chaotix game i can see, stories there
Blaze and Silver are absolutely amazing characters. Silver deserve his own game, sure Sonic 06 horrendous but you can't deny how great Silver character design was. I want to see him, Blaze and Marine in action as Team Sol if Sega and Sonic Team puts Marine in the game. Please, Sega put Marine in the mainline Sonic and spin-off games.
Great video! Blaze is my second favorite sonic character-I’m a knuckles fan, can’t describe why, just am-and I don’t know where I rank silver but I love that boy. People can say what they want about 06 from a gameplay point but we really gotta give its story credit, its actually really good when it comes to silver and shadow-only sonic campaign is weak even if he’s still written fine, it’s just kinda boring and I also get why people don’t like the time travel aspect-and it’s a shame because of how infamous the game became for the whole series reputation Sega didn’t want to do anything with Silver. He was in forces but that’s forces and we didn’t get a explanation why he was even there, but Blaze it’s even more sad she’s neglected cause I feel it’s not that hard to put her into stories. Yes she’s in another dimension but at this point tails could probably figure out a dimensional device so she can jump back whenever. So yeah i definitely love to see a game of them and probably one either focusing on the good future silver is from or more of blazes dimension, maybe a mix of both really.
As much as I too would like a Blaze and Silver spin off game, I can't think of how Sega would go about it. That is if we're talking about a game that co-stars both of them. (That sounded like what you were talking about in the video.) Because from my understanding they've abandoned the idea from Sonic 06 that Silver and Blaze are both from the same future. I think Blaze is now from another dimension while Silver still resides in the future from 06. I don't know how they would both naturally appear in the same circumstance unless Sonic Team approaches it in a similar way that the IDW series does in that they meet in the present to face a world threatening foe. However my concern with that is they won't have the same dynamic. In IDW they hardly interact, it's almost like they don't know each other. (Now that I think about it I'm not even sure they ever have a conversation together.) If Sega had kept the idea of both of them being from the future their dynamic would still be intact and a natural story could more easily surface. Now of course, Sonic Team could give us their original chemistry while maintaining the current lore by just assuming the player understands Silver and Blaze's relationship. I guess we'll just have to see. Great video!
Blaze really doesn’t need Silver as much she can hold her own in her own game. I’m in the same boat as you I don’t know much about Blaze but now I’m in love with her she’s an amazing character and definitely needs more love. Plus Sonaze for the win ^^
For all the Silver fans out there: please, please PLEASE check out the Kaleidoscopic Absolution fan-zine! It's such a cool collection of au silver stories and incredible art. You can download the full package on their itch page :)
a sonic spinoff starring both silver and blaze with cream and vector as side characters to the two would have been on par with the megadrive sonic games, the sonic adventure games on the dreamcast; the sonic rush games on the DS; the sonic advance games; knuckles chaotix, sonic mania and the three sonic games that came out on the Wii (secret rings, black knight and colours). marine the raccoon would also be a playable character, but this would not be just another sonic clone given their abilities. if they had remained in the hardware market beyond the dreamcast/gamecube/ps2/Xbox cycle this particular title would have been a possibility and made use of the lindbergh's capabilities. sega execs should have chanced it with this spinoff.
14:20 I think the writers intended for it to mean that Silver and Blaze feel like siblings in general with how they always have each other's back and are always sincere with one another. Sonic and Tails don't ever call each other "brothers" in canon (as far as I know), but we know that they're written with those feelings in mind.
I have a whole hypothetical silver and blaze game down to gameplay story and timeline placement. But someone brought up a fair point Silver and Blaze aren’t popular enough to hold a whole marketing campaign.. Actuallly no silver is. Actually yea put them together there’s no excuse
BASED VIDEO! Blaze my beloved, Silver my heart, they definetely deserve new treatment, they're loved by the community. And sorry, it's definetely not the same dynamic as Sonic and Tails. Specially because i also see the romantic undertone between them, AND I FULLY SUPPORT IT IDC I consume the Silvaze fandubs on the daily and i love their Girlboss X Malewife dynamic that the community gave them LMAO. (kinda cringe but don´t care, im a very feminine guy and feel validated by Silver :3)
Wouldn’t it be cool if we got a sonic game where sonic was out of commission and everyone else got to be playable as they tried to defeat eggman, who’s taking the chance to try to take over the world again while Sonic can’t stop him.
i remember getting a ds lite for my tenth birthday with new super Mario Bros and I loved that game but that same year for christmas I got Sonic Rush and I fell in love with Blaze so much from that point forward. i never really got through like any levels in Sonic 06 when I was younger bc playing it on ps3 and i couldn't get into the first level bc i wasn't able to make the light speed dash work to get there but i thought silver was cool in the 2 player mode playing it with my siblings at least until my ultra christian conservative family convinced me he was demonic bc esp is the devil or something but since I got away from that culty stuff i started liking silver again
Come on! I really miss Silver and Blaze already. They deserve to come back and maybe they could bring Marine along too. Plus it would be cute to hear Marine actually have a voice actress that has an Australian Accent. Other than that, we need Blaze and Silver back in future Sonic Games and possibly have their own game. Plus I ship these two.🦔🐱💜🤍
You got THAT right, Blaze even has her own "Tails" in the form of an Australian Raccoon.
And that Australian Raccoon should come back to!
Honestly I would be overjoyed with even just a heroes remake that adds some new teams, with one of them being blaze silver and marine
@@KRPeartAgreed, Marine deserves to come back, cooler than ever. (I know absolutely nothing about Marine I just like her funny looking self)
i still see cream as her tails, even if they arent in the same world
@@FOOLYCOREY That's Amy's.
Silver the hedgehog and Blaze the cat, the two perfect candidates for a separate game and to grow on their lore.
Sega: *Shadow the hedgeho-*
My prediction is that next year will be the year of Silver the hedgehog.
When we're done with the Fearless Year of Shadow, I'm so down for the GOATED Year of Silver. My boy needs his story and character course corrected. Blaze is still largely a good character but mostly because they never ruined her by putting her in more games. I do hope we see her and Eggman -REDACTED- again though. If they could somehow naturally create a story where the two of them come together again, I think there's a lot of potential there. They are personally my favorite characters to write for since they have so little material.
EDIT after finishing the video: OMG you have a fantastic singing voice wtf
i’d love to see how they’d redo Silver’s gameplay too. maybe we’d have a skill tree for his psychokinesis, and same for Blaze with her pyrokinesis. and thank you so much that’s so kind of you! i’m just so obsessed with Dreams of an Absolution i had to sing it
@@valentinescookies. Yeeeeaaaaahh!!!
If Silver shows up in the after credits scene in Sonic Movie 3 I’m going to scream. Great video btw.
Blaze is literally my favorite Sonic character ever like woah she’s so cool. Also we did actually get to go to her dimension in Sonic Rush Adventure, but i think you’re point still stands because that game was more Marine’s game than Blaze. We didn’t learn about her kingdom or her family or anything
that was the point i meant to get across actually. i want a game exploring what the Sol Dimension looks like. how their society functions, what Blaze is in control of. i’d love to see that!
@@valentinescookies. If Blaze and Sliver never get a game, I recommend Freedom Planet 2 as a Sonic alternative.
@@orangeslash1667 Seconded, that game is amazing
@@possumorb3770 indeed
Agreed, I doubted myself for a while but Blaze is indeed my favorite Sonic character
Silver and Blaze’s relationship is one of my most favorite stories I’ve seen told before. It’s such a unique and inspiring piece of art and I hope one day SEGA decides to revisit and maybe even improve upon it. But, until then, I guess we’ll have to wait.
Yes mine too they are the best and amazing! ^^ and yea they need more attention! Hopefully one day! 🤍💜✨
Blaze is literally an alternate sonic and she is badass
I want to see a blaze the cat spinoff because she absolutely deserves a game in her own alternate reality
it sucks that 06 was wiped from the canon but at least silver and blaze are still besties
I completely agree with your points! Silver and Blaze hold a special place. I remember watching Sonic X and waiting for a Season 4 so that Silver and Blaze would appear. Just like you I would replay Dreams of Absolution constantly and Silvaze was probably my first Sonic ship (one that I still ship to this day). Seeing how great Shadow has been treated this year gives me hope that one day these two will get the spotlight they deserve.
Dream of absolution is hypnotic
Blaze's reputation got dragged through the mud when 06 came out. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't mind if Blaze and Silver were explored more as friends but I think Blaze holds her own and deserves better. Growing up I didn't own any home consoles and was stuck with the cheaper GBA and DS games. I got Sonic Rush when I was like 6 and Blaze's story of being bullied and developing a lack of trust when it comes to making friends really stuck with me since I related to it a lot as a kid. Having a character like that in my life helped me through so much and truth be told it still does. It's such a shame since I didn't know 06 was a thing until I got access to the internet at like 10 or 11 and learned she was being dunked on as a character just because she was paired up with Silver. It really doesn't help that the internet would just bash anything Sonic related during the early to late 2000s either.
Agreed, kinda a middle finger to us Blaze fans that she went from a MC in Sonic Rush who is a princess from another dimension that could match Sonic to a support character from the future that gets "killed off" to prop up Silver as a MC in 06, in the space of barely a year. I don't mind Silver and Blaze as friends but only if both are treated as equals (both power and narrative wise) instead of Blaze being treated as a trophy love interest that's food to the "only the hedgehog trio (Sonic, Shadow and Silver) should be the only MCs forever" narrative which I honestly heavily dislike, possibly an unpopular opinion I guess?
Fun fact, the person who wrote Silver's theme said it helped him deal with a particularly bad break up with a previous boyfriend of his. which does give blaze and silver that feeling that there may be a romance between the two. (that panel with sonic saying they're good for each, seems to imply he ships them) but I doubt we'll ever see that aspect explored since Sega won't allow sonic characters to form relationships
Nite and Don are an exception because they were pitched to sega as a gay couple from the get go, so the idw comic wouldn't have to develop their relationship
Purple cat white rat duo is slept on
Pff
You took the words right out of my mouth! Glad to see someone who also agrees the same with me on Silver and Blaze. I also really like your interpretation of the Blaze and Silver duo, what makes them different from Sonic and Tails is that they're not a leader and sidekick relationship, they're just a dynamic duo that compliment each other very well, and both equals in that sense.
One thing I wanna say though is that while I'd love a Silver and Blaze game, I'd honestly argue that Blaze needs her own standalone game as well because she has even more potential as a character for all the reasons you stated like the fact that Blaze's own dimension should be explored more, and most importantly Blaze and Cream should be together again like with Sonic Rush. I also imagine Blaze and Knuckles to get along well (even though throughout her story in Rush it was actually the opposite) since they both share basically the same role, Blaze guards the Sol Emeralds, Knuckles guards the Master Emerald, and both are serious about their job. Alot going on with her character which hasn't been expanded upon sadly.
I think I yapped a bit too much there but yeah, Silver and Blaze are both among my top 3 favorite Sonic characters (and All Hail Shadow because he's obviously 1st place), and they are heavily slept on, both as a duo and as individual characters. They should also get the same treatment Shadow is getting for this year. I may be asking too much so I think the least Sega could do is just make them have important roles again in a future Sonic game.
As a staunch Blaze enjoyer, you're real for this. There's so much potential left behind many years ago
Ikr, there's so much wasted potential with silver and blaze, even though we did get to take a peep into blaze's world, it hasn't been fully realised. Imagine an open world blaze and silver game like sonic frontiers but taking place in the sol dimension, and you can shoot fire and fly. That would be so sick. You've earned a sub.
Its always nice to see a passionate video about the squandered potential of Sonic characters. There's PLENTY of missed potential in this series, unfortunately, and, like you said in the video, I agree that a good way to remedy that is through spinoffs. Part of why I love the IDW Sonic comics so much is that it gives us an opportunity to see these lesser used characters like Cream, Vanilla, the Chaotix, and of course Silver and Blaze.
With Blaze I typically prefer her being from the Sol Dimension rather than going with the Sonic 06 retcon that made her part of Silver's future timeline but I can definitely see why you like what Sonic 06 did with the two as a duo, it added a lot of emotional connections to them which makes the villains feel like a lot more of a threat (I used to be a huge Mephiles fanboy partly because of the way he toys with Silver and Shadow)
A Blaze game with Captain Whiskers as the main villain and a Silver game with Eggman Negative as the main villain would be awesome
Eggman Negative? Don't you mean Eggman N-
They deserve their own game. They’ve been one of the most interesting characters in the series and it sucks that Sega doesn’t explore them more.
I really want Silver and Blaze to come back and be given a second chance to shine and be allowed to be far more than just cameos or bonus additions to a roster that doesn't use them to their fullest potential. I really hope that Silver and Blaze have their chance in the spotlight soon because these two have an incredible bond and they deserve to be a part of the main cast just like the others. They have a strong dynamic of being two characters who are completely different in how they function and yet, they complete and strengthen each other's weaknesses, making up for their shortcoming with their strengths. Seeing Blaze in Rush be this brave and compassionate princess who takes matters into her own hands was great to see and I wish she got a chance to be even more fleshed out in the games. I also adore Silver in the 06 game and while I can understand people's grip with Silver and the game, I still love Silver due to how he always tried to keep a bright smile and not falter for the sake of the people close to him. He is a person who has so much potential and deserves a second chance alongside Blaze. I can see why people might not like the recon of her origins from Rush to 06 but a nice way to see it is that 06 is like a universal reset where Blaze and Silver's lives were reset, causing them to live completely different lives from their 06 incarnations.
Blaze is a standoffish and distant princess who often has the faith of others placed on her shoulders and is almost never able to be herself and enjoy her time as a normal girl depending on which version we talk about. Blaze either has the future of her Sol Dimension or the ruined future on her back and is constantly alone due to this. She is unable to express herself due to her responsibilities and duties and often feels the need to hide her true self from others and adopt the mask of a cold and decisive leader to help those around her. And yet the moment she meets Silver, she is able to be more open around him and be her true self, someone who wants connections with those around her. She likes Silver's optimism and wants to keep that quality of him at all times as she treasures his ability to remain hopeful in the most dire of situations
Silver is a compassionate and kind soul who always does his best to remain optimistic even in the most dangerous situations and strives to save and protect those who matter to him. He always had the future of others on his shoulders and he had to even sacrifice his happiness to ensure a better future for others. He is always trying to be hopeful to give a glimpse of light for others and be a beacon for them. And yet when he meets Blaze, he is able to have someone who is able to guide him and keep him on the straight path. He is able to count on Blaze's counsel and cherishes her level headed approach to their issues and is able to be more focused when around her.
I understand that people might not love the ship between Silver and Blaze but I really adore their dynamic, they have been fighting for a better future and have tried to live their lives to the best of their abilities and when they finally have the chance to win, they sacrifice the memories of the other for a better future. I really hope for a future game for these two and I really want the creators to explore their dynamic
I imagine if they did something similar with Year of Shadow
Like, Sonic Movie 4 taking elements from either Rush or 06, then it creates the momentum for a Year of Silver/Blaze, as around 2025/2026 will be the 20th anniversary of Sonic Rush and Sonic 06 respectively. Then a Silver and Blaze game is announced as well for a 2026 release (along with the hypothetical Sonic Movie 4). And there would be a short animation to promote the Silver/Blaze game, of course. I think it would be possible like that.
There could absolutely be a way to get them together in a game, silver being from another time and blaze from another dimension or space, some kind of combination of those two ideas of alternate worlds would be cool to explore.
Or they’d just retcon one of them again but please no 🥲
I absolutely love your videos!! they are awesome. I am an absolute huge sonic fan and its awesome to see people care and love about these amazing characters. I genuinely think we deserve a sonic 06 remake, because the story they were cooking Sonic, Shadow and Silver was so cool (as a dragon ball fan too).
I think it is cool that you took the plunge, putting yourself out there and sharing your thoughts and love about Sonic. I have been a fan of the franchise for 20 years and have never considered what I think about Sonic to matter enough to anyone, let alone make videos about it. Yet, I consistently see people see folks like yourself put what you think out there and let whomever clicks with you a chance to say "that was pretty neat".
It is pretty neat and I hope you keep it up.
Silver was given a very bad game.. My boy had potential. I remember falling in love with his story and absolutely liking his design on Sonic 06. I wish they reboot his character in a Sonic Adventure 3. Dreams of Absolution gives me the chills to this day..
Probably my favorite duo in all of Sonic. I’d picture them having an Anakin-Obi Wan relationship where Blaze is more experienced but they both learn from each other. Why not throw Marine into this game too? If Blaze is the Sol Dimension Sonic and Marine Tails, who’s the Sol Knuckles? Shadow? I know it doesn’t make sense canonically but I’ve always headcannoned that Silver is the Sol Amy. Also great cover of Dreams of an Absolution
It's bonkers how I align with pretty much everything you said here completely🤘
Yes, Blaze does deserve her own game...
i was obsessed with dreams of an absolution too, i remember my uncle helping me burn a cd with that and some other music from Sonic 06 and brawl and i liked listening to that song on my cd player when i was going to sleep back then bc like dreams and stuff it was fun
I figure some of you might wanna know that, according to the Sonic wiki on Fandom, the songwriter of Dreams of an Absolution said that the lyrics were about a breakup with his ex-boyfriend.
Blaze and Silver are my favorite characters (I even cosplayed as Silver this year).
I do think the classic 3 and Shadow deserve to be prioritized more since they are way bigger, but Blaze and Silver deserve their own game(s) next
I randomly just had a idea that could fix the Blaze situation; Blaze gets reincarnated into a different dimension (without prior memories), and after Silver's world is saved he finds out that Blaze is alive and in a different dimension. Unless, by 06 reconning itself, they never met...
Then instead Silver wants to help other worlds and learns how to travel between dimensions and happens into the Sol Dimension in the future, and sees the world burnt to a crisp. He then goes back in time to stop this disaster from coming and meets Princess Blaze.
I think there's holes in this- but please correct me if that's true.
It's actually really interesting, since if you didn't know, Dreams Of An Absolution is a love song! The writer of the song, said in an interview, that he wrote that as a love song to one of his ex boyfriends. So the sediment romantic angle fits perfectly, because that's what the song was. But it works SO WELL for either still being romantic, but also about Silver talking about his own destiny. Recently, and also thanks to this video. I've grown an appreciation for Silver. I always loved Blaze, when I was younger I looked up to her, and just wanted to be like her, just like with Amy. I wish most Sonic characters would get a year dedicated to them. Like I know, merch sales probably wouldn't be high for Amy or Blaze, but I don't care! The opportunity to explore these characters, either looking at their past, or trying out their future, is amazing! Sure I'm glad Shadow is getting his year, he used to be my favorite Sonic character ever. But again, I do wish a lot of these other characters had the same love that the "Main Four" did (I'd say Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow are the main four. Since they get all the general merch and attention). And as a writer, who mostly makes Sonic stuff. Then it's truly a shame that Sega won't use some of their other characters. Since they have just as much potential.
By the way, you did an amazing job with this video! Again, it really made me appreciate Silver a lot more than I did. I remember when I was younger, due to the hate for Sonic 06. Then I used to think "Oh, Silver is the lame Triple S Member". But no, I think people SLEPT on him now. Though he's very hard to write, since he's an optimist and realist as he said in Sonic Forces. XD I hope this video gets more attention, and I'll totally be tuning in for more of your stuff! ^W^
One of the newest comics silver and blaze relate to eachother because they completed their original goals. And they agree to take a vacation in Soleanna. I felt like a hole in my heart was filled. Because their adventure in Soeanna was originally erased and they are going there together!
👍
I still want a Silver the Hedgehog solo game with Blaze as a playable character and part of the story. Archie proved how much you can do with Silver. And I really did like their story in Sonic 06. And Sega says "they don't remember each other" which isn't entirely true. In Sonic Colors DS, they each say that they're familiar to each other. Oh, and I like the Silvaze ship.
Sega will never make another game with Sonic as a side character.
I also seriously doubt they'll make anyone playable outside the main five any time soon.
P-06 is the best bet for Silver fans.
I'd rather have 1 game with Silver and Blaze as the main characters, not 2 standalone games for both.
@@kowabonga3552 Agreed.
I'm pretty sure Sega also said that Team Dark aren't "friends" or something one time, which also another load of bs
Sonic Rush was the first Sonic game that made me actually made me care about the world and story of the series. All through Blaze and her story of opening up and accepting help from others. Especially with Cream and Blaze. Great video!
Before I even watch this video let it just be said that the fact that the only 3D playable appearance of blaze the cat is Sonic '06 is a goddamn travesty.
And funnily enough, she's the best character in that game. She is faster than Sonic without upgrades.
@@bowserbreaker2515 true. And now that I'm done watching the video I can say that I get why she feels like they should be given another chance and actually have stuff made with them again that's actually the story relevant outside of like a comic book. Heck many people thought silver was going to get a game after Sonic 06 but that just never happened
@@the120cxx The only thing that has given Silver a substantial role is Archie. He was great in those, but I still want more.
I've been saying this for a while these two deserve their own standalone game with a great storyline.
I agree that Silver and Blaze deserve a spin-off game, there's soo much wasted potential in that duo. At first I didn't know much about them because they rarely appear, but in these recent years I discovered a channel in which the owner of it has his own version of Silver who does reaction videos, plays videogames, and does VR videos too. That helped me to see how much of a cute and abosolutely lovable character he can be, and he became my third favorite one beside Sonic and Shadow. After watching a video of all the cutcsenes from Sonic 06 I became more inerested in playing as Silver so I will no doubt try to download the P-06 fanmade remake of 06 after I get my own laptop PC sometime this year. I really like that Dreams of an Absolution song too, a true banger in my opinion.
PS, have you ever known of the remix of it in which Jun Senoue made the music be more rock and roll style and Lee Brotherton sings the lyrics? I recommend it because I became truly impressed whith that remix after listening to it.
Great video! You have really awesome points honestly. These 2 are really underrated and need to appear more 💜especially Blaze, she has so much more potential. I would honestly say she’s just as powerful as Shadow, we just haven’t seen enough of her
Cool Video! Silver and Blaze do deserve their own game. And their Nintendo counterparts are King Rauru and Queen Sonia.
Amazing video! And I would love more sonic characters to get the spotlight whether in a mainline game or spinoff!
Can we take a moment to think about how kinda messed up Silver's ending in 06 is? Time reset not withstanding, his future is saved from Iblis, but at the cost of the only person he really knew. Really trusted. Loved, even. Sure Iblis is gone, but his future was still in ruin, and who knows if he'd live to really see it prosper. All he's known is a fiery hell. The only light he knew was Blaze, his only friend and confidant. So what is the point of saving the world if Blaze isnt in it? But even after losing basically everything, hes still the heroic optimist who manages to rally everyone to save Sonic. Say what you will about Silver, his sincerity and strength of heart is second to none.
This video was great I LOVE Silver and Blaze and their dynamic they have always been interesting characters that need to be explored in a spin off game they're so much potential both story wise and gameplay wise also I subbed to your channel and will be DEFINITELY there for future videos, keep up the great work!
Personally I think Silver is more popular and has more appearances in recent games and media than she does. I’d still love to see more of these two in the future
I think there is a lot of untapped potential with 06 specifically and how it could play into future stories. As far as we're aware the 06 bad future is the original canon timeline before Solaris was erased and what's more that timeline, or at least remnants of it, still exists as seen in Generations where not only is crisis city still there but Iblis is obviously still there.
Have a story where Silver is sent to Blaze's dimension and the two of them start to remember bits and pieces of the original time line. Perhaps finally give us an explanation on how and why Blaze was in Silver's world to begin with, either as a natural resident or a foreign entity. Perhaps the main villain is Iblis, still trapped somewhere deep inside Blaze, or perhaps fragmented and imprisoned in the sol emeralds.
So much stuff you could do, so many cool stories to be told.
Thumbnail wise I saw, I agree 100%. I think that silver and blaze should have their own game.
I agree. But we gotta get a game about the others first. Especially knuckles tails and amy
Silver and blaze ABSOLUTELY deserve their own game!!
Blaze is SO cool and such a strong personality in a very different way to other sonic characters, it feels like a very interesting area of character to explore more.. not to mention i'd love to see more of the sol dimension! i also loved her as percival in satbk the aesthetic is PEAK
AND SILVER... MY SON. I love him so much, too....... there is something about characters who embody a very specific kind of hope - the kind that can be battered and bloody yet still rises to their feet to try again - that just Gets Me Every Time.
I think an "open zone" style game could really mesh well with them both!
Blaze and Percival are seperate characters, same as Sinbad in SATSR who seems like Knuckles but isn't actually him.
Dream of absolution was hypnotic
I agree, Silver and Blaze deserve to have more exploration with their characterization and about their world. Especially Blaze's world. Since Sega is going out of their way to cleaning up the lore of Sonic, they might as well do it with Silver and Blaze -- due to the events of Sonic '06 being completely erased towards the end of the game. It would be interesting if they do something with it.
I can totally see a cool gameplay of Silver. When I played Sonic '06 for the first time last year, I like Silver's gameplay. Sure, it's not perfect, but I wish the Sonic Team had more time to work on his gameplay and refine it. If they ever release a game about Silver, hopefully, they'll have the time to refine his gameplay and maybe explore more of what else he could do. :)
Also, you have a nice singing voice! ^_^
I wish Silver the Hedgehog's theme song will be Stuck On You by Paramore, it's 2000s
I think you're already becoming/are a cool Sonictuber, your rambling is very relatable to me personally and I agree with a lot of your takes!
I played Sonic Rush as a kid religiously mostly bc of Blaze bc I loveee her character (if you haven't played or watched it yet, there's a really cool Sonic Rush dub by Adrenaline Dubs too!), and her and Silver's relationship is so special to me. I also was obsessed with Dreams of an Absolution, still am tbh, and always saw it as Silver singing about Blaze, glad I'm not alone in that!
Silver is my favorite and I love Blaze, so I would love a game with them together. And when you mentioned how you ship them I said out loud "Yes Queen!"
At the very least, bringing back Sonic Rush on a home console would be cool and similar to Mario & Luigi Brothership as that game brought back a series that hadn’t been around in a long time. I’ve also thought if Silver could have a game with gameplay inspired by Gravity Rush. In those games you control gravity and decide what directionto fall. You can also throw objects a similar way to silver. It’d be cool.
Also I want Sonic Riders back.
I agree silver and blaze are criminally underutilized. And its a shame because I feel they are two of the more interesting characters that haven't been fully explored yet. My only thought is if sega is determined to continue using the generations approach of old zones just keep popping up there isn't a better character to use than the litteral time traveller. And a 3d blaze game would be amazing because we could explore the soul dimensions in much more detail than a ds game can allow.
Anyway just stumbled into your video and frankly I'm very impressed. And i look forward to seeing what you make in the future.
3:20 I've always called him minus Eggman around my sisters for better measure whenever we would play Sonic together, because yes I also thought that, the shortened version of negative sounded like the N-Word and I was like nope Eggman Minus it was.
5:14 I will never get over the possibility of the Sol Emerals having half the power of the Chaos Emeralds, why do I say that because there is a piece of fan art showing all of Sonic, Blaze, Silver, And Marine's Trans-Forms, Super Forms, and Sub-Forms-(aka:Dark Forms) and Blaze's Burning Blaze Form is shown as a Trans-Form in the piece of fan art, which is why I say that.
i dont think this was the intended reading, but i like to imagine "every night i will save your life/every night i will be with you" is silver constantly reliving the memory of blaze's sacrifice, imagining a better ending where he could have saved her. "and every night i will come to you/but every night it just stays the same", at the end of the day he always remembers blaze is and will stay gone. just my headcanon though ^^
Blaze should have her own game most of all. We've still have so much to learn about the Sol Dimension and her kingdom not to mention the princess herself. It would be a well blended mix of her graceful speed and powerful combat utilizing her pryokenesis. Maybe even a new power crucial to the story like...a blue flame that heals. Almost like Sonic Unleashed in a way. I think the story should be about her defending her kingdom from an ancient enemy that has a connection to her past.
Honestly, I just want Silver to be retconned into a resident from the Sol dimension. I hate that he's tied to the future, it makes sense for him in 06 sure but whenever he needs to appear he travels back in time. Just have him be apart of the current timeline and so he's with Blaze, resident of Sol, member of the royal guard or something which is why Blaze would bring him with her.
Amy is one of silver’s ancestors. Amy’s has some psychokinetic ability as evidenced by forces the fact shes able to use mere tarot cards as weapons and even a means of mobility. She is literally the only character from the present of Sonic’s dimension with any form of psychokinetic ability. This also implies that at the very least the book of Silvers family tree survives whatever new apocalypse crops up.
I don't think magic and psychokinesis are supposed to be the same thing
Id want a game where we play as Silver before and during 06, with him learning to use his powers and sending Sonic into space in 4k. I kinda hate how hes a part of a timeline that only happens if the bad end happens but its so cool.
I had NO IDEA that this was a newer channel until I reached the end of the video and then looked at the subscriber count!
1:58 new headcanon, Glaze the Cupcake is a character that exists in the Sol Dimension that is Blaze's equivalent of Shadow, created by a scientist gone mad aboard the... underwater... facility... DARK (its a candy factory like willy wonka's)
I hope they can get their own game.
Better late than never
I will say when it comes down to the comic line of sonic saying they work well together like him and tails, doesn't imply that they are like him and tails, it's ment more on how tails and sonic have been a team for so long and are able to rely on eachother
Hey, we did get Silver Blaze (and Vector) in Sonic Team Racing
we did you are right! i just would love their own standalone game. just the two of them
Am I the only one who thinks it would be more logical for Marine to be part of that Team and not Vector?
"W Amy" exactly I'm glad you brought up the fact that Amy saved sonic ass. Also that was the second time she saved him. When Amy first saw him and thought he was sonic Silver was going to try to kill him right there. ( How cool would it have been to get a Amy vs Silver fight? Ah the potential.
But yeah I agree with this entire video they deserve their own game because they're both amazing characters.
I honestly don't like the "Negative Eggman's" name and would rather they call him "Negaman" or "Neggman" or something like that, but then he would sound too similar to Megaman... Maybe they ought to pull out that really old and ret-conned name "Kintobor" which was supposed to be Robotnik's original name according to some former Sega of America writer.
Also yeah, as a fellow lover of the Shadow game, I think having a Silver and Blaze spinoff will be great! Also you are so real for being willing to share that exclusive journal with us! I would only have enough budget for the Digi-Deluxe edition, so thanks!
Sega should make spin off games again. Just because it didn't work once doesn't mean it wont work again. You can make a Shadow game, a knuckles game a team chaotix game i can see, stories there
If only it were possible...
Blaze and Silver are absolutely amazing characters.
Silver deserve his own game, sure Sonic 06 horrendous but you can't deny how great Silver character design was. I want to see him, Blaze and Marine in action as Team Sol if Sega and Sonic Team puts Marine in the game.
Please, Sega put Marine in the mainline Sonic and spin-off games.
oh my god, i also had an obsession with dreams of an absolution to a wild degree im so lag its not just me
SEGA AND SONIC TEAM, ARE YOU WATCHING THIS?
stuff like this is one of the reasons I love this series
Great video! Blaze is my second favorite sonic character-I’m a knuckles fan, can’t describe why, just am-and I don’t know where I rank silver but I love that boy. People can say what they want about 06 from a gameplay point but we really gotta give its story credit, its actually really good when it comes to silver and shadow-only sonic campaign is weak even if he’s still written fine, it’s just kinda boring and I also get why people don’t like the time travel aspect-and it’s a shame because of how infamous the game became for the whole series reputation Sega didn’t want to do anything with Silver. He was in forces but that’s forces and we didn’t get a explanation why he was even there, but Blaze it’s even more sad she’s neglected cause I feel it’s not that hard to put her into stories. Yes she’s in another dimension but at this point tails could probably figure out a dimensional device so she can jump back whenever. So yeah i definitely love to see a game of them and probably one either focusing on the good future silver is from or more of blazes dimension, maybe a mix of both really.
I’ve actually been working on a Blaze game to pitch to Sega one day
What a coincidence
This is a Dreams of an Absolution appreciation comment.
As much as I too would like a Blaze and Silver spin off game, I can't think of how Sega would go about it. That is if we're talking about a game that co-stars both of them. (That sounded like what you were talking about in the video.) Because from my understanding they've abandoned the idea from Sonic 06 that Silver and Blaze are both from the same future. I think Blaze is now from another dimension while Silver still resides in the future from 06. I don't know how they would both naturally appear in the same circumstance unless Sonic Team approaches it in a similar way that the IDW series does in that they meet in the present to face a world threatening foe. However my concern with that is they won't have the same dynamic. In IDW they hardly interact, it's almost like they don't know each other. (Now that I think about it I'm not even sure they ever have a conversation together.) If Sega had kept the idea of both of them being from the future their dynamic would still be intact and a natural story could more easily surface. Now of course, Sonic Team could give us their original chemistry while maintaining the current lore by just assuming the player understands Silver and Blaze's relationship. I guess we'll just have to see. Great video!
Blaze really doesn’t need Silver as much she can hold her own in her own game. I’m in the same boat as you I don’t know much about Blaze but now I’m in love with her she’s an amazing character and definitely needs more love. Plus Sonaze for the win ^^
Sonaze?☠
For all the Silver fans out there: please, please PLEASE check out the Kaleidoscopic Absolution fan-zine! It's such a cool collection of au silver stories and incredible art. You can download the full package on their itch page :)
Yes and they should be on a team together
This mug was funny lmaoooo subscribed
12:18 Well I can answer that... Silver got him with the busted infinite stun loop.
3:24 lmao😭 fr like why did they name him like that😭 I just call him bumblebee eggman💀
a sonic spinoff starring both silver and blaze with cream and vector as side characters to the two would have been on par with the megadrive sonic games, the sonic adventure games on the dreamcast; the sonic rush games on the DS; the sonic advance games; knuckles chaotix, sonic mania and the three sonic games that came out on the Wii (secret rings, black knight and colours). marine the raccoon would also be a playable character, but this would not be just another sonic clone given their abilities. if they had remained in the hardware market beyond the dreamcast/gamecube/ps2/Xbox cycle this particular title would have been a possibility and made use of the lindbergh's capabilities. sega execs should have chanced it with this spinoff.
"I believe Their relationship is very romantic coded" You're valid for that.
14:20 I think the writers intended for it to mean that Silver and Blaze feel like siblings in general with how they always have each other's back and are always sincere with one another. Sonic and Tails don't ever call each other "brothers" in canon (as far as I know), but we know that they're written with those feelings in mind.
Picture this: it’s the year 2026, and Sega announces “the year of Silver”! How awesome would that be?
“But I want it now”

This title holds much weight, because omg we haven't had a spinoff of Sonic games in what... 20 years😮 wow I'm a dinosaur
3:34 You could call him "Sol Eggman" or "Alt Eggman" or "Eggman Sol" to denote where he comes from without the extras syllables from "Blaze's Eggman".
I have a whole hypothetical silver and blaze game down to gameplay story and timeline placement.
But someone brought up a fair point Silver and Blaze aren’t popular enough to hold a whole marketing campaign..
Actuallly no silver is. Actually yea put them together there’s no excuse
BASED VIDEO! Blaze my beloved, Silver my heart, they definetely deserve new treatment, they're loved by the community.
And sorry, it's definetely not the same dynamic as Sonic and Tails. Specially because i also see the romantic undertone between them, AND I FULLY SUPPORT IT IDC I consume the Silvaze fandubs on the daily and i love their Girlboss X Malewife dynamic that the community gave them LMAO. (kinda cringe but don´t care, im a very feminine guy and feel validated by Silver :3)
Wouldn’t it be cool if we got a sonic game where sonic was out of commission and everyone else got to be playable as they tried to defeat eggman, who’s taking the chance to try to take over the world again while Sonic can’t stop him.
i remember getting a ds lite for my tenth birthday with new super Mario Bros and I loved that game but that same year for christmas I got Sonic Rush and I fell in love with Blaze so much from that point forward. i never really got through like any levels in Sonic 06 when I was younger bc playing it on ps3 and i couldn't get into the first level bc i wasn't able to make the light speed dash work to get there but i thought silver was cool in the 2 player mode playing it with my siblings at least until my ultra christian conservative family convinced me he was demonic bc esp is the devil or something but since I got away from that culty stuff i started liking silver again
I wish we got more of an interaction between blaze and elise (haven't seen the story in a while so i dont remember it that well tho).
Come on! I really miss Silver and Blaze already. They deserve to come back and maybe they could bring Marine along too. Plus it would be cute to hear Marine actually have a voice actress that has an Australian Accent. Other than that, we need Blaze and Silver back in future Sonic Games and possibly have their own game. Plus I ship these two.🦔🐱💜🤍
I WANT A GAME ABOUT THESE TWO!!!!!! and other sonic games with other characters that are not sonic himself.
We’ll see once shadow gets his actual stand alone sequel
I have a pitch for this I just call it psychoflame
that’s a good title!!
I think I'll make a video for it
