Where Was My Hero? - Sonic comic dub 

Im curious, are you guys wanting an OST video featuring all the music in this dub? 👀

This Makes the saying "the child not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth" far more literal

After watching the entirety of Sonic Prime i can safely say that this comic is way more accurate than one may think, at least Nine still has some empathy

I honestly can’t believe how amazing of a villain Tails managed to be. Not only were his motives and reasons for his actions in a rather gray area but he managed to be relatable with his past and how it lead to his present day actions. Tails for the most part manages to be a competent and threatening presence without making any illogical actions that contradict his goals (I mean didn’t he say he wanted to destroy everything?). Crippling a whole city, taking out one of Sonic’s eyes, and escaping jail. Tails was unbelievably competent. It’s funny how intelligent people usually have reasons for doing what they do less than moral actions.

This straight up predicted nine like it’s actually scary how similar this is.

Started watching Sonic Prime... Really good show. But once they introduced Nine I immediately thought of this. Especially with the robotic nine tails. Someone on the team HAD TO have seen this comic and got inspired right?

“Something so wrong feeling so right” being turned into “Something so right feeling so wrong” is great writing tbh

Blaze: travel back in time and snezzes The timeline: where was my hero

It’s crazy how just because tails tripped caused the death of thousands. Tails tried killing sonic, who would better be knows as sonics best friend. I love how you guys added what they would have been like if they did meet earlier. And how you said sonic would consider him family. This is epic, the art is amazing, and the actors. Great work!

Damn. This really takes secret history tails to whole new level. Mashed would be amazed

It is truly unfortunate that this scenario is scarily accurate considering the lore. Shadow was a research experiment that got all those close to him killed, Eggman is a psycho who seemingly had no one growing up, which turned him into the madman he is now, Silver comes from a ruined future and is constantly going back in time to prevent it from being in constant ruin. Knuckles is the last living Echidna and is Left to defend the master emerald, The gem to turn to when The Chaos can't be controlled. All of them connected by our favorite blue hedgehog. And this what if, really points out how something as simply as the hero of South Island getting a best friend, had changed history for the better. It's heartbreaking watching this, knowing how special and supportive these two are in the canon. Only for them to be shown as complete opposites here, and not in a good way. Sonic had brought out the best in Tails, He was what encouraged him to brave Robotnik's army with his hero by his side. He was the one to save Sonic after the defeat of the death egg, He was the one who stayed with his role model for numerous adventures past they're meeting. He fought back against his insecurities, defused a missle, and drove Eggman out of station square, he was the one to avenge Sonic after he thought he died in that capsule, he was there alongside his two best friends, they had to defeat Sonic's Evil robotic doppelganger that had copied the power of The god of destruction and Chaos. He played a crucial role in putting their own planet back together, he was willing to be controlled by Eggman to save Sonic. He had basically given up hope when Sonic was seemingly killed. It's likley Tails felt guilty for not jumping in, and reverted back to A scared Fox yet again, and he's ecstatic at seeing his big brother again. And that event caused him to doubt himself, thinking that he was a burden to Sonic. That couldn't be further from the case. Sonic's love for his little bro is absolute, No amount of self-doubt is ever in the hedgehog nowadays. Hopefully, it'll rub off on his two tailed bestie. Whilst Tails doesn't seem to be the most important character in the series when looking externally, His worth as Sonic's chosen family is why he's so important. This what if really goes to show why such a simple act of kindness can change history. Because here, instead of a Fox that is always looking forward to the positive things he can do for the ones he loves... He became empty, a killer, a complete psychopath. Bullying led to reclusiveness, and reclusiveness became dependency for some kind of attachment. And when that one attachment was taken away... All that was Apathy. wanting some kind of belonging. But Sonic's not the only one who would give the fox that burned down a whole village and killed someone right in front of me a chance. After all that happened. The only thing that was one of Miles' mind, was to watch the world burn. Only death was capable of dowsing this Roaring volcanoe of pure rage towards the world. In the end, the smallest of actions, carry the biggest consequences, and can be the deciding factor between Heroes and Evil.

Who's watching this after seeing Sonic Prime due to Nine's backstory?

This is actually canon considering "Nine" from Sonic Prime... Well done my guy, never before a comic touched my heart so throughly... This is a masterpiece...

Both Sonic and Tails' abilities are extreme in amazing ways. But considering the heavy burden and stress put upon them to keep the world safe, they are "One Bad Day" away from becoming something terrifying. Sonic could become Scourge or Fleetway. Tails could become the next Eggman.

This is now canon in Sonic Prime.

The creator of this comic has predicted the future!

A very excellent production. The length alone is impressive. Rather different from a lot of Sonic content we experience -- happier content -- and so this one hit pretty hard. Older Tails' VA was exceptional, especially the performance near the end. All the choices were done well. Thank you for letting me participate, Rio!

The fact Nine and WWMH Tails are literally one variable off is scaring me

Honestly, this version of Tails does remind me of Syndrome(The Incredibles). A character who wanted to help the main hero and join them as their sidekicks, Only to get rejected by them, And even had been involved with the police. Which the former fans turned into villains bent on revenge and power, And also inventing weapons to take down those who let them down in the past. Only to end up dead in the end. And that is honestly pretty nice to consider.

Canonically, Tails will still be called Miles if he never met Sonic. Sonic gave Tails that nickname.

Given Mercy (original comic artist) is originally German and English isn't her mother tongue, she manages to convey the dialogues rather well throughout most of her works.

It's honestly uneasy how the possibility of this being an actual outcome is logical. Tails' sincere and kind personality was always there but it bloomed to new heights from meeting Sonic. He looked past everything that was said about him and his two tails and left the past behind him. Focusing on the present and future. Without Sonic, only Miles Prower remind. Tails never existed. Sonic and Tails' friendship was never a reality. Miles Prower overthrew Eggman and killed him, which lead to Sonic lashing out on him. Leading Tails to perceive how the world views him. A freak that has no meaning. And so faith waylaid them both. Sonic, a scarred personality and a missing eye. And Tails, a broken, mistreated and psychopathic soul. Who in the end had got what he had wanted. One. Last. Fight. No big explosion. No world domination. No global extinction. Just one final confrontation between him and the fastest thing alive. Looks like he was something after all. Who knew something so wrong could be so right.

It's unfortunate that Mercy left all this behind purely because her work was so good, I don't know what caused her to leave but I feel like she could have just left without taking her best works down with her, there's ways to leave without being self destructive. I believe she made a follow up comic to this, my God it was incredible, you think this comic is good? The one I saw after this blew it out of the water. (This is long because it's a full re-telling of the follow up comic how I remember it, you can stop reading if you're uninterested by walls of text) I believe it was an alternative version of these events, instead of going crazy and becoming a villain Tails actually exiled himself from the rest of civilisation, he didn't burn down a village and I'm a little unclear on the details because the comic seemingly had a part 1 but I could never find it, I assume his backstory begins similarly where he kills the bullies and whatever. But instead of going down the crazy route he seems shocked by his own actions which is why he lives out on his own, perhaps he's scared of himself, eventually he meets Vanilla the rabbit who comes to visit and keep him company sometimes, they originally met after some kind of accident and Vanilla got stranded there so Tails looked after her and makes an umbrella for her when he sees that it started raining. Her conversations with him are very one-sided because Tails is so traumatised by the past events or something, he talks as little as possible and that's what's important because it makes him very mysterious as a character, you never know what he's doing and with the implications of this comic you might think he'll do something twisted but he never does. As the comic goes on eventually Eggman builds a massive robot and brings an army of other robots with him, many of the robots seen here are not seen in the games and seem far more effective at destruction than the ones we see usually, Vanilla is on the side of the resistance in this comic and I guess she assumes that Tails would happily help them out in this battle. One important thing to note is that despite his tails having been healed at this point this version of Tails never actually learned how to fly with them so it's Vanilla who flies him over to the city. In this city he sees Sonic for the first time going crazy fast and busting up robots except there's no response from Tails whatsoever, he's completely indifferent towards Sonic despite his feats, I'm not sure why he was so emotionless but it's already an interesting direction to go with since he doesn't idolise Sonic and also has practically no chemistry with him in this comic as you'll see later. The smaller robots almost kill Tails before he can do anything but Sonic's widespread destruction of the robots gathers their attention and they leave him alone, I believe Vanilla finds Tails and flies him somewhere high in the sky, my memory of this part in the comic is kinda fuzzy so forgive me for lack of details, Vanilla is shot out of the air or something and Tails actually lands on Eggman's main machine of destruction. Vanilla is saved from death by Sonic, and Tails finds a way to infiltrate Eggman's giant machine, Tails is such an underdog in this comic that he goes completely undetected when he's inside this machine, and after some tinkering he quickly disables the machine which stops Eggman's invasion dead in its tracks, all this with nothing but his intelligence. Tails is stoic as usual but at the end of the comic he and Sonic meet face to face for the first time, Tails tries to say something cool to impersonate Sonic which fails and leaves everyone feeling uncomfortable, Sonic interestingly seems completely unamused by Tails perhaps suspicious of this teenager he's never met before, or maybe cautious because he doesn't know what Tails is truly capable of. I'm pretty sure that's where the comic ends, Sonic also had a moment with Amy or something before the battle but I don't remember it. Sorry for how long this is I don't usually write this long but the comic, the story writing, the pacing, the atmosphere, all of it is perfect, let's just say that Mercy's art style improved by a few lightyears, and she's even better than this comic may lead you to believe.

This is art. The true version of a dark Sonic canon. And also that end hit hard too I’m holding back tears. Amazing work

Imagine if this is what actually happened to Tails in Forces. Where he really “lost it”…

This had me in tears... everyone done a great job on this dub!

Bro I just remembered this! I think this may have inspired tails nine. The similarities are incredible. But I'm not sure, and I wouldn't be surprised if they actually took inspiration from this since they've done stuff like that before.

No way Mercy just predicted an AU Tails for Sonic Prime 😭

This is one of the darkest but best Sonic comic dubs I've ever seen. The plot is written so well, and it is depicted so perfectly with a fitting tone. Also I love the ending it's just perfect and made me almost cry.

The part where people talked about tears happening didnt happen for me right there. It happened after…like 16:40 when he talked solemnly holding Tails’ body in his arms. It just happened out of nowhere. Unexpected. Its been a long while since something like this caused me to cry, even just the little bit. Thank you to whoever made this.

Everything about this is amazing. It's really sad at the same time too. I like the concept, but it also would be cool to see how things would go down if Tails didn't die

What. A. Masterpiece. Well done, you guys. This really emphasizes the fact that Sonic and Tails' relationship is one of the most important things in each one's life. They essentially complete each other. This comic and its dub are just so incredible. Highly underrated.

god that's brutal. Sonic just seeing the corpse of Dr. Eggman that'd be some complex emotions it'd be like Batman finding the Joker dead. It'd be a relief a short one before understanding, your history with this one cruel individual is over.

Whoever made this is the fucking Akinator man, like, this semi-perfectly predicted Nine

I haven't seen anyone say this and I'm surprised. Its ironic. It started with Tails killing Eggman and Sonic being outraged by it. He says that "You will not become a hero if you kill someone". Yet the story ends with the self proclaimed hero killing Tails. Almost... following in his footsteps.

This is an absolute masterpiece!!! I loved working on this alongside everyone else! Thank you so much for having me Tag along!💙✨

To imagine Tails breaking bad makes him a better Eggman. 😂

Oh my god! Sonic Prime made this canon!

Everyone who took part in this are amazing! Great job guys!

I can't believe this is (sort of) canon now cos of Sonic Prime

Villans arent born, they are made.

When I saw clips of Nine, I thought of this comic, I am not going to lie. And I have been thinking about this comic for a LONG time trying to find it. Now it's here! Someone must have seen this comic and got inspired.

So heartbreaking, and yet so satisfying! Great work, Rio, and everyone else involved!

This fan made comic was amazing, it’s also honestly scary this is probably how tails would have turned out if he never met sonic

This video is super nostalgic I remember feeling so bad for miles. Also, this unintentionally predicted nine.

The bullies: *kills the bird* Tails: your free trial of living has expired (sorry, I like this way too much)

You predicted Sonic's primes first episode, 5 months ago I'm impressed.

This type of Tail has so much potential in this comic it makes him broken. He has the mind of a genius, and has tech to go with it aswell. On all terms might be the best story that involves dark fantasy with Tails. Overall love this Dub and all :)

it's incredible what difference one move can make. maybe if i hadn't done some certain things, i would still have my eye. but hey. this is just a story. you never know.

To think that I started crying after the end says alot about how deep and hard hitting this comic was, indeed one of the best things that I've seen yet

I got goosebumps. It was so emotional, expecially when Sonic said Tails would have been apart of the family. 😭 It was... Beautiful

Miles. No, I mean... Tails. ... *sienfeld music plays with the characters lined up with thumbs up in the background with credits rolling very quickly*

I remember when I first saw this and I was just so stunned by it; it creeped me out so hard but I still loved it. I just finally came back to rewatch it and DANG those last words hit me like the end of a Bluey episode

And this comic would go on to inspire the creation of 9… how insane is that.

Maaaan who remembers the time when they came across this and instantly cryed to the story

Great job Rio, this was edited so well and everyone in the cast did awesome! Hearing my old Amy voice was weird though😆 Thanks for having me part of this project!

Holy shit this is amazing, everyone involved in the project did a great job fr 💯

Sonic prime episode 1

A rock just ended the the most biggest friendship of mobius. That's cool.

In Tails' defense, Eggman causes death and destruction everytime he plots to conquer the world, gather the Chaos Emeralds, or anthing that has to do with Carnivals. Crap, what am I saying? Tails was Justified. Everytime Eggman was let go, he does it again. He couldn't even capture him for prison, and I doubt bars will keep a 300IQ genius contained anyways. I understand Sonic's morality, I really do. He has magnificent powers and wants to use them for the greater good and protect those around him. But sparing Eggman just causes more misery and death. Batman had the same train of thought with the Joker and you can ask him how well that turned out for him. Of course, Tails killed Eggman for selfish reasons, just wanting the approval from a beloved hero, but the fox was still Justified.

I use to have no soul. But this part got my tears out 15:34

I love how he realizes what he did wrong at the end! True redemption arc, if I do say so myself

Well, I'll say what everyone else is. Nine in Sonic Prime makes you think of this.

Now I know where that Sonic prime Tails came from lol

Never mind tails is even more awesome now

I was a kid, minding my business, but not minding my surroundings. Some creeps came along and picked on me for having one extra tail. I took a beating. It was the same for years. Until I used my cunning fox brain to come up with a way to fight back. I take care of myself and need no one, PERIOD!

I cried, not only because it's sad. But how I can relate to Tails in almost every way. Thank you everyone that made this.

17 minutes and it left me wanting more, even though its already over, props to the cast that made this

What If... but it's Sonic (that's the best way I could name this... MASTERPIECE) !

“Something so wrong could feel so right” -Tail Miles “Something so right could feel so wrong” -Sonic the Hedgehog

very nice to see someone else try their hands at dubbing this amazing story. i was the voice of sonic for the Mc.Gemstone dub. always good to see other peoples interpretations of the same story/comic

I'm a little sad that the version I had remade was lost but at the same time happy that you had at least the original, I followed the comic for a while but when I found out that the author deleted everything from himself I couldn't even find the original version , I am glad and thank you very much that you have brought this

Bro, you literally predicted nine from sonic prime😮 I watch this a while ago and I’m only just realizing you predicted it

It’s sad that Sonic would kill Tails all of them thought that it was gonna be the end of the world but Miles just wanted to fight before he died. I like Sonic and the others being friends with Tails/Miles but this is really good too! I love the art it’s amazing😁

Ma’am if tails never met sonic he’d just be nine from sonic prime

This shows us what would have happened if Tails and Sonic, didn't meet. It seems like something like this could happen in Prime (minus Tails and Sonic fighting). Tails is even wearing spider-arm mech in prime, just another reason I'm hyped for the show.

This tails litterally almost predicted nine from sonic prime 💀💀💀

poor tails is always bullied in almost all fandom where something goes wrong give the poor boy a break already

One of the best sonic comics I ever watched, the tension, the build-up perfectly executed, you got yourself a new sub, heck even if there was a way that can favorite this video I'll do it,

Sonic prime be like:

Even as a kid I wondered WHY THE HECK the 'heroes' would ALWAYS let Robotnic get away when they had him by the nuts and bolts every few episodes. They went on and on about how he's a danger to all life on the planet.....and yet they never tried to assassinate him. As an adult I get that it'd make a VERY short show indeed if they offed him the first chance they got, but from a lore standpoint it made no sense at all. Tails had the right idea, here. Being 'The Good Guy' means absolutely nothing if your decisions to spare your enemy over and over lead to MORE people being harmed each time. That's also why the ending of the first Force Unleashed game disgusted me. (Paraphrased): "The emperor is beaten! Don't stoop to his level!" Are you an idiot, old man? He's literally evil. Why would sparing him suddenly make him amend his ways?!

12:27 Heroes and villains... they're ALL THE SAME DAMN THING! And I already know that YOU TWO ARE NO DIFFERENT!!! I prefer to be on sidelines and not to be involved, but your senseless war reached my heart and broked into million pieces TO SUCH LOSS AND GRIEF!

Wow!! I couldn't imagine how evil 'Villan Tails' would be. It's a very great portrayal of him! And I love how he still had some sympathy for Sonic. I still can't believe the ending of it! Amazing!!

It is awesome!. The voices, the music, everything!

I'm crying. This comic is the best I've ever seen. You perfectly matched the voices. Good luck in promoting the channel!

Things are bad, but at least this world no longer has Eggman.

This was amazing, everyone did such a great job, emotional story, amazing voice actors. Amazing art! You've really outdone yourselves!

Seeing tails’s tails like this: 2:39 Just made me gasp audibly and it hurt me to look at... I feel so bad for the poor guy 😟

just FYI this got an adaptation in sonic prime look up "sonic prime Best Friends"

This is still hands down my absolute favorite sonic fan comic of all time, it's so freaking good and I really want someone to make a game out of it because honestly this comic could theoretically work as a game

I LOVE THIS! All the voices are perfect!! The dialogue, tone, GAAHHH!!!

I loved this so much, I tried to say “I NEED MORE OF THIS” but ended up crying, this was amazing!!! 😭

The artist pretty much Predicted nine!

Look guys.... im not that deep of a sonic fan but.... this just made my heart wrench....

Amazing work to everyone involved. This dub was spectacular 👏

4:04 these kids are freaking maniacs, they should be in jail. Then again, tails burnt down the village soooooooooo yeah tails needed to meet sonic

It’s been years since I’ve seen this story and I remember adoring the ambition the artist had. (Not to mention bawling my eyes out at the ending haha) Thank you for dedicating your time to this project! I’m happy this AU was able to be preserved through your and your team’s efforts.

Moral of the story: be careful who you mess with

16:08 that's the look of an inner child healing right there

I literally have goosebumps 😬😬 The voice acting, the story, everything was amazing 😆😆 Props to u and the author, I was tearing up by the end 😢😢
