Black people see themselves in Knuckles because he's tough, confident and punches to get things done (hence his name), and as I said, the hair looks like dreadlocks. That's why when it comes to characters who are animals or aliens, you see black people say, "This character is black."

In the Dragon Ball fandom I see people say it about Pikkon, Piccolo and nowadays Hit. In the Pokemon fandom people try to claim Brock is black even though he's based on a South Asian.

Piccolo is not black, all the countries that had DBZ before the states including Asia, Europe and Latin America considered him a demon first and then an alien, since that is what he is, I mean if they want a hero they already have Mr. Popo.

Knuckles is clearly Mesoamerican based on his roots on the CANON games, if we go by voice actors then Sonic is black. The closest thing Knuckles ever had to being black is his rap song:

Some parts of the film were recently screened at CineEurope.

Basically, it's exactly the same as the first film.

Let's hope that Paramount/SEGA don't manage to mess this up. ( But knowing them, they probably will ... )

There have been Sonic 2 leaks going around the web.

One of the writers recommends ignoring them, as said leaks are likely fake. [ WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILERS ]

Is the trailer gonna drop on Thanksgiving Day? Someone replied to Paramount for a hint on the trailer in the comments of a Thanksgiving video, and Paramount responded back.

It appears that the trailer has been rated.

Spoiler:







I wonder if it will drop during The 2021 Game Awards.
