Today’s prompt is Knight, but instead of giving yall a sketch, I’m gonna give you my head canon of why Sir Galahad isn’t in the main story.
He’s dead.
Why? Well, its confirmed within SATBK that the Holy Grail Quest has already happened, since Sir Percival is also referred to as the Knight of the Grail, and that her quest for it is a “legend in its own right.”
Galahad was also a member of the Holy Grail quest, the most prominent one besides Percival. And at the end of the quest, only he was capable of witnessing the Grail’s mysteries before he died. Sound familiar? Blaze was the only one worthy to seal Iblis due to her power over fire, and that version of her died in order to save the world. And when you battle Percival in game, she’s in a volcanic region, alone.
I think a similar situation happened. A force of evil got hold of the Holy Grail, and in an effort to stop them, Galahad made the ultimate sacrifice.
Don’t you just love parallels?

Tails was robbed in Forces. Which, I know. Understatement of the century and everyone’s talked about it. This is the same Tails who had beaten Chaos and gone toe to toe with Eggman by himself. And yeah, his cowardliness was so out of character.
But that’s not what I’m talking about here.
What I’m talking about is how they could’ve gone so hard into Tails watching Sonic die in front of him. And, more importantly, they could’ve done some amazing character parallels.
Because we have a character who watched their older siblings who was mainly associated with the color blue die in front of them. Shadow.
Imagine how much better Forces would be if we found a Tails who wanted to completely, utterly, annihilate Eggman. A Tails who has turned to anger just like Shadow did. Imagine that being the reason Tails had left. He wanted to kill Eggman and the others didn’t want to do so immediately.
Tails. The only person who can go toe to toe with Eggman intellectually. Imagine him deciding that maybe violence is the answer in this case. We’ve seen how he as a person is entirely capable of pretty extreme violence in Nine. Imagine that happening in Forced.
The parallels between Tails and Shadow are already there and I know people have mentioned it, but no where are they more prevalent than in Forces. They could’ve done so much with it.
Imagine a scene between Shadow and Tails where Shadow acknowledges how similar their situations are? Shadow comforting Tails? Ugh. They could’ve done so much!
Imagine everyone thinks it’s the original reason, until halfway through when tails shows back up in the plot with his own mechanical army and just starts tearing through, and everyone’s main response is
“Oh.
…OH.”
You. You see my vision.
Imagine that’s why he was trying to fix Omega.

I know Sonic was inspired by lots of characters from Mario, to Mickey Mouse to the president, but was Eggman based on another exciting character or characters? Or was he original
Oh great question, fun dive time!
Eggman was initially designed as early concepts for Sega's new mascot but was looked over for the role when passerbys in New York responded more positively to Sonic's initial designs over his. That coupled with more internal structuring on the story led to the team repurposing him as the main villain.
One of the major inspiration bases for Sonic as a series is the massive cultural impact that is Laputa, Castle in the Sky (1986), especially in Japan. You watch that and you'll note numerous references that act as the source DNA influence for the whole series such as:
- Ancient yet Advanced Technology
- Remains of long dead civilizations
- Robots that seem to have souls and gentle dispositions
- Progress/Technology versus Nature (prominent in all Miyazaki films)
- Mysterious Floating Island
- Magical gemstone that grants one's wishes and carry a deep resonating connection to ancient history
- A central, giant version of these gemstones that powers the whole island and keeps it afloat
Miyazaki's influence on Sonic cannot be overstated and a great example is this character motif that popped up a couple times in his works. Specifically the husband of the female pirate captain in Laputa. (If you're interested in more about Laputa's impact on Sonic, this blog sums it up quite well!)
And below is an even earlier example of this kind of character design from Lupin the Third Wings of Death: Albatross, which Miyazaki directed in 1980. Another note is that Lupin influenced Sonic too, as Fujiko Mine inspired Rouge! And this particular film is a goldmine of Fujiko moments that really give that Rouge feel.
(Gif's to further accentuate the point on Miyazaki/Lupin's DNA in Sonic. She's literally Rouge.)
These influences are more evident in his earliest designs than current one.
(Not sure about where the sleepy motif's came from tho?)
I think considering how prominent airplanes and flying machinery are in Miyazaki's works, it informed quite a bit of Eggman's vehicles as well. Not to mention Star Wars and Gundam also heavily influencing his creations!
Supposedly he was also meant to invoke Teddy Roosevelt which I can see honestly and would line up with Sonic's Clinton influence. Sonic Team reaaallly wanted Americans to like their game lol
Ohshima mentioned too that Eggman's classic design's cape is based on collars of Sea Cadets.
So yeah, guy's got a richly dense influence pool. It's fun diving into things like this because you see how much careful thought, consideration and just crazy creativity went into these characters and the world around them. Thanks for the fun question Anon!

you ever think about how tails and rouge are tied as the biggest sonadow shippers (tails organized a tailstube episode for them to get along and rouge wants her bro to socialize at the birthday party)
She lives for the gossip
