"Sonamy is canon and sega confirmed it! So sonadow will never be cannon!"
No. Sonamy is not canon. And this is not saying like a rage fan that doesnt like the ship. I sayed it because the people on the fandom spread so many wrong information that it becomes so annoying, specially on tik tok where you say that the earth is flat and everyone believes that. "Sonic sayed that he would like to share a umbrella with amy!" Ian, the writer of the game, sayed himself that he doesnt even remember or even write those lines for sonic. Most likely someone on the team pushed it so it can be in the code of the games. and why is in the games and it shows voicelines of it? Simple, because the game can be coded so some unused lines can be show on some scenes. And what makes it that those lines are likely just pushed into it like forcing a line that ian never ever write in the first place?
[It is strange that the lines doesnt even appear on the same scenes, just on differents ones?]
I am just gonna put the information that sonadow wiki done: "In bullet points:
These lines are cut-lines and they never made it to the final version for any platform
Ian, the writer forĀ Sonic Frontiers, didnāt even write these lines to be in the game
Since the lines are in the database of the game (but does not occur in the final version of the game), the lines can be modded into the game to make it seem official or that itās in the final version of the game
āProofsā showing these lines to be in the game have faults within them, such as not occurring on the correct island or weather condition
There are several factors to consider when acknowledging these lines existence. One of the main factors is thatĀ these are cut-lines that never made it to the official and final version ofĀ Sonic Frontiers. This goes for both the English and Japanese version of the game. These lines can only be found through datamining the game, which means to look through files deep within the game that donāt make it to the surface. So, these lines will never be activated because there is nothing to activate it, therefore it is not official lines.
Another thing to know about is that Ian, the one who wrote the story and dialogue lines forĀ Sonic Frontiers, was not even aware of these lines existing in the game because he never wrote them or had anything similar be made for these lines to exist. Therefore, it wasnāt even planned to have these lines in the game whatsoever. Someone else, other than Ian, snuck the lines in and had it go against what the original story was in the first place; they tried to have their own story or vision be put in the game aside from what Ian wrote or how it was originally conceived. This makes the lines even more unofficial and not real. Many already acknowledge that these lines are not official and are cut lines." https://youtu.be/vGnN6Q7yo5c "One more thing to consider is that even if people show āproofā of it existing in the games, these lines and even text can be easily modded into the game for it to seem like it exists in the final game. But just because it is modified in, doesnāt mean that it was there originally."
"As it can be seen through this individual who is able to make unused conversations be put into the game in some manner through modification, it is also possible to put unused conversations lines in the game in some manner. These lines towards Amy arenāt the only lines that are unused in the game. There are many lines that arenāt used and that are still in the database of the game, but that doesnāt mean that any of them made it to the final game for people to see through normal means.
Another thing to take note about is that these lines towards Amy (the āUmbrellaā and āMaking up his mindā lines), are lines that occur on Rhea or Ouranos Island, but the first pictures shown in this thread show that the lines were randomly said on Kronos Island, the first island you go to in the game. That shows that this person modified the lines to be said in the game and that they are not triggered under normal means. Another way to figure out that these lines are modified is that the āUmbrellaā line is supposed to only be triggered while itās raining, but the line is said randomly while it is only cloudy in the personās āproofā of it existing in the game.
On a side note, datamining and modifying games tend to be illegal depending on what company the game comes from. For example, Nintendo has policies that say that if you are to play their games, you cannot modify their systems or games that are played on that console. So this practice of modifying and datamining is not encouraged by the majority of game companies and isnāt welcomed, therefore it should become a common practice to not to try to do these illegal activity towards any game."
"And what about this proof of sonamy being canon?"
Japanese version:
Putting again what sonadow wiki sayed:
"The Japanese is mistranslated in the English translation when talking aboutĀ Sonic CDĀ inĀ Sonic and the Secret Rings. In English, it may call Amy Sonicās love interest, but that was never stated in the original Japanese, therefore the English translators mistranslated it on purpose or are pushing their own personal interpretations in the mistranslated English. In Japanese it simply gives Amy a description before stating that she appears in the game. Sonicās name is never mentioned in the original Japanese.
What it says in Japanese: āA brimming with vigor, love to fall in love girl, Amy, appears.ā
Or for it to make more sense in English: āAmy, who is an energetic girl that loves falling in love, appears (in this game).ā
The sentence in Japanese: āå ę°ćć£ć±ć ęć«ęćć儳ć®å ćØćć¼ē»å “ā
If you take the sentence apart (which you can see on thisĀ website) you will see each word on itās own to see the direct translation.
å ę° = Energetic; Lively
å ę° ćć£ć±ć = Brimming with Vigor; Brimming with Health; Full of Vitality
ę = (Romantic) Love (which is more closer to having an attraction towards someone)
ęćć = To Fall in Love (with); to love
儳ć®å = Girl; Young Woman; Daughter; Baby (girl)
ćØćć¼ = Amy
ē»å “ = Appears"
And about the ask and question of the characters when they sayed that sonic has feelings for amy and is official: welp, I guess tailor swift and etzio are cannon on the sonics universe, and maluma too
