As a die-hard fan of both Sonic and anime, I can confidently say that the trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 has sent me into a frenzy! The nods to Akira and Dragon Ball Z are not only a testament to my childhood memories but also a brilliant move by Blur Studio and Sega Sammy Group. It’s like they read my secret fan fiction!
In the teaser for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, we get a sneak peek at what’s coming up in the next installment from SEGA’s series. This film, scheduled to hit theaters in December 2024, includes numerous nods to anime, such as Akira and Dragon Ball. In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles join forces to take on Shadow the Hedgehog.
In one trailer moment, Shadow can be seen kicking Knuckles, reminiscent of Vegeta’s kick against Cell from Dragon Ball Z. Interestingly, the voice actor for Shadow in the Latin-American dub, René Garcia, also provides the voice for Cell in Dragon Ball Z’s Latin-American dub. While the kick comparison might seem a bit of a stretch, it appears that Blur Studio and Sega Sammy Group intentionally paid homage to this classic anime scene.
Without a doubt, one uncontested moment in the scene is when Shadow’s motorcycle slides, mirroring the iconic bike slide from Akira. Eagle-eyed fans swiftly picked up on these homages and flocked to X (previously known as Twitter) to discuss their findings. As we await further trailers, we anticipate even more anime references.
A noteworthy twist in the trailer was the appearance of Dr. Gerald Robotnik. Given that he was imprisoned, then executed in Sonic Adventure 2, it came as a shock to see him appear at the end of the trailer. Interestingly, Jim Carrey will be portraying both Eggman and Dr. Gerald Robotnik. Furthermore, it’s worth noting that Eggman and Maria are the grandchildren of Dr. Gerald.
A significant portion of the trailer delves into Shadow’s backstory. At one point, we witness Maria Robotnik touching a tube containing Shadow. As events unfold, Maria sacrifices herself to protect Shadow, leaving an indelible mark on him and motivating his quest for vengeance. In the SEGA narrative, Dr. Robotnik experiences a mental breakdown upon learning about Maria’s demise.
In the upcoming movie Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Keanu Reeves lends his voice to the character Shadow the Hedgehog. This film is being helmed by director Jeff Fowler, who previously directed the first two installments in the series. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is scheduled for a big-screen debut by Paramount Pictures on December 20, 2024. Keep an eye out for more news about Sonic the Hedgehog 3!
