Mephiles has been identified as a cliched villain, a coward and a psychopath. But in all actuality, Mephiles is a sociopath.
Healthguidance.org: Characteristics of a Sociopath -
www.healthguidance.org/entry/1... - Hry
Mephiles isn't actually that much of a liar. He doesn't even twist the truth. He just withholds facts and chooses very carefully what to say to whom and when to say it.A master manipulator lies as little as possible.
Leaving out details is considered lying by omission... which is in and of itself lying. It's the least obvious form of lying, but it is considered lying at the end of the day, because leaving out important facts and details is practically the same as giving false ones in the end.
But it's true, a master manipulator knows that the best lies are the ones nestling amongst the truths... ones that appear to be true.
When Mephiles tells silver that sonic is responsible for the release of iblis he's not wrong. Sonic's death released iblis
They don't explain why mepholis isn't in other games cause the creators choose to show him but they just don't create him as a iconic villain he just stands out there as an Easter egg
Yeah. Sonic being the Iblis Trigger is partially true.
@@nicholasgrandfield8168 He was erased at the end of 06, so how would it even be possible to come back
Mephiles's god complex is justified to an extent. He is the consciousness of a god of time who's perhaps the most powerful character we've seen.

@@gaminganimators7000 hmm.. He is not a person and not thing and not even a gohst, He is the Dark
I don't think that Mephiles is a liar. I think he just chooses his words carefully to say to each individual.
Master Vidxad 58 well, mephiles is pretty much named after the false prophet Mephistopheles.
By the way, "wet the bed"? Is that some kind of dirty joke?😕😕
no, wetting the bed is mostly a sign of problems relating to fear and nothing sexual.
like if you have a bad nightmare that causes you to pee yourself.
Infected Candies Mephistopheles is a demon
Well Mephiles did start out as a black liquid does that count as wetting the bed lmfao xD
Best Sonic villain ever, gotta love his voice too, gives him the perfect evil laugh
I thing he sounds cool wen he says"DROWN IN DARKNESS!"

the only way i'd accept mephiles back into the sonic series is if dan green continued to voice him.
“Mephiles is a Sociopath.”
In other words, the sky is blue.
Mephiles is quite possibly a psychopath, which is more dangerous.
I agree, Mephelis is an absolute psycho.
Well, I personally see Mephiles and Iblis as this close sibling relationship. And being separated from each other is like torture.... so Mephiles wants to become Soalris again to not only have his sibling back and feel whole, but also to take revenge on the humans who tortured and separated them to begin with.
13:32 Considering the first thing that Mephiles did after being created was spill all over the floor...
lol XD

*WHEEZE-*
I- ,Ok I Do Not Know What To Say.
You: *brings up sexual deviancy*
Me: (thinking about the fanfic writers) OH GOD, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE???
Me: (thinking about Snapcube's fandub) "NOW EVERYONE'S MY BOYFRIEND!"
Well technically Mephiles never really lied. "If you don't complete your mission, your future will remain the same forever", for example, was true. If Silver killed Sonic, the future would've been much worse, if not entirely erased, in both cases changing from what Silver knows the future holds.
Withholding necessary information is still lying (kind of). Sure, the future might change, but not in a good way.
Don't you think Shadow is a more evolved character here compared to in Shadow the Hedgehog?
hdrevolution123 yes which is y this game takes place after it
With that pyromania thing, notice how in that one scene when sonic, rouge, knuckles and tails go through the time portal then mephiles appears and that small flame next to him turns into a proper fire....
No one:
J.K Rowling : Mephiles used to wet the bed as a child.

*And then I realised I accidentally made my villian OC a complete sociopath.*
The site I read also stated that sociopaths can have genuine relationships with people they are close to like a close friend, family, or girlfriend while psychopaths cannot. It also stated sociopaths are more likely to make mistakes due to implosive behavior.
The website I'm reading says that psychopaths are the ones who can have families and basically live a normal life. Sociopaths can't.
Mephiles has IQ 200+ and can understand RIck and Morty
along with eggman, who has an iq of 300+
I honestly don't think that a one-track minded creature that's literally just darkness, would have much of a sexuality at all.
The thought of Mephiles being a sexual deviant in an 18+ Sonic game is just hilarious
I know right I couldn’t agree with you more than needs to be an 18+ sonic game we need one that would be hilarious I’m dying of laughter here
Someone make one please
I think Mephiles is more of a psychopath than a sociopath.
I just realized something.
Mephiles didn't lie about Sonic being the Iblis trigger.
Sonic's death caused Iblis to be released.
He WAS right-
He’s a Psychopath not a Sociopath
Shadow: PTSD.
There are five traits of the sociopath
Lack of Empathy and Devoid of Conscience: Their defining feature. Utterly ruthless doesn't begin to describe them: except for when trying to appear normal, they will disregard any social norms and semblance of morality in pursuit of their own selfish desires. The Sociopath will do whatever it takes: lie, cheat, steal, extort, manipulate, or use outright violence without the slightest hesitation, disgust or remorse, and for as little as Pleasure or The Evulz. Murder and violence have no more emotional weight than eating Chinese takeout or some other mundane activity, and they have no concern for the direct or collateral damage they do to other people, being unable to understand why anyone should. Likewise, they never truly understand the feelings of others on anything more than an intellectual level, and may even believe that everybody else is faking it too. As many Real Life criminal psychologists put it: "They know the words but not the music." Techniques for learning moral behaviour, such as reason, therapy, rehabilitation and behavioral reward/punishment, will not work on them or tend to only make their behavior even worse by making it easier for them to fake it. This is why the only thing resembling consistently successful treatment involves teaching them to avoid behaviors that have predictable consequences; they may still believe that consequences are bullshit, but if they have been made sufficiently aware of the fact that their behavior will always end up with them in jail, getting sued, or simply just getting jumped or killed when they fuck with the wrong people, and that they can't lie and fake their way out of it because people are wise to their game, they will usually shape up.
Consummate Liar and Manipulator: In the event they are ever targets of suspicion in crime dramas and thrillers, sociopaths are able to fool any Living Lie Detectors in the cast, pass polygraphs effortlessly, and fool even you, the audience, into believing they are genuinely kind and caring people who are victims of a "big misunderstanding" (assuming they are not so smugly confident of their own invincibility that they feel no need to hide their unsavory personality). Moreover, despite their lack of empathy, sociopaths are capable of using their knowledge of others' desires, emotions and insecurities to manipulate them for their own personal gain. Because of this, many of them are Faux Affably Evil. This is related to their lack of empathy and shame - they don't feel the slightest discomfort about lying or exploiting others, so they do so with the same ease in which normal people perform mundane activities. This is why you should always assume that any apparent epiphany from a sociopath is bullshit; as far as they're concerned, it's just another tool to get what they want, and they don't actually believe that they have done anything wrong. Don't let them know that they are full of shit, because it will just force them to become more slick, but do act with the knowledge that they will go right back to their old ways the minute that they think it is safe to do so.
Pathological Need for Stimulation: The Sociopath's raison d'etre (i.e.: an overriding goal which serves as one's "reason for existence"). Due to their inability to empathize or even care for those around them, sociopaths largely view their existence as boring or meaningless and therefore feel compelled to engage in "thrill-seeking" activities to alleviate their restlessness. How this manifests depends largely on the sociopath's personality. It can be as relatively benign as binging on video games, compulsively gambling, or leading highly promiscuous lifestyles. Far more dangerous examples are prone to satiate their lust for thrills by partaking in criminal enterprises, becoming serial rapists and/or killers, or (if they are unusually high-functioning) accumulating vast wealth and/or influence for the sole purpose of dominating as many people as they can for their own amusement. Due to their obsession with indulging their insatiable appetites however they want whenever they want, sociopaths have a very low tolerance for inconvenience or irritation which in turn leads them to have a pronounced lack of impulse control. Because of this, many of them are Ax-Crazy, have a Hair-Trigger Temper, and/or are Mood Swingers.
Shallow Affect and Complete Lack of Emotional Reciprocity: A Sociopath is physiologically incapable of experiencing a deep emotional attachment towards others but - being a Consummate Liar - learns early in life how to fake them. This shallow emotional life means that the Sociopath is unable to form sincere long-term relationships with anything or anyone, but will feign feelings of love and affection if they feel it serves their purposes. Most of the true feelings a sociopath harbors towards others, positive or negative, are rooted in an insatiable desire to dominate or control them. While narcissists desire to be loved or at least respected, sociopaths don't care whether others view them positively as long as they don't stand in the way of their own self-centered gratification. In the rare event that a Sociopath actually does form an "attachment" to another person, it rises no further than that between an owner and a possession and/or a valuable resource for advancing their goals. Thus, once such "friends" cease to be useful or entertaining, they will abandon them or, in some cases, even kill them without any hesitation or regret. Any emotional reaction to having committed a heinous act is met indifference at best and glee at worst.
Grandiose Sense of Self-Importance: The trait that ties it all together - the one that changes it from moustache-twirling evil into a mental disorder. Sociopaths will go so far as to convince themselves that they have succeeded in their plan, even as failure stares them in the face and snaps on the handcuffs. They genuinely believe it. They don't really care what others truly think on the matter, but they do care about what they say, and like to fill their social circle with people who say what they want to hear. Any others - even former 'friends' - will be dismissed from the sociopath's social circle simply for doubting them. They consider themselves better than anybody else and that they are entitled to special treatment - and they can't stand anybody being considered better than them. However, while the Narcissist is self-conscious of how they measure up to others' standards (and therefore will experience shame or guilt for failing them), a sociopath's grandiosity is all-encompassing to the point they have no concern how their actions reflect upon them UNLESS it threatens their ability to indulge their appetite for further stimulation. They are incapable of acknowledging personal responsibility for failure, and will always blame others, no matter how irrational it is. In fact, it's considerably difficult convincing them that the activity they have partaken in has even failed. This is all part of why a sociopath can't change - since they consider themselves to already be perfect, and refuse to acknowledge failure on their part, and consider the true opinions and feelings of others insignificant, they never try to improve themselves
Here's the thing: Mephiles isn't actually his own person. He's actually one half of the god Solaris. He's Solaris's mind and intelligence crammed into one small hedgehog body. Iblis is the raw power of Solaris.
So whatever it is that's going on in Mephiles's mind, it isn't even human.
Did anyone else think that mephiles had teeth in the thumbnail?
Well, before finding out it was a mask?
Those aren’t teeth???

Well EGGMAN is what you described.
Yeah duh
LOL
DID U SEE SHADOW GET SCARED AND MOVED BACK AWAY FROM THE DARK EVIL GUY XD
To 2:13 - 2:18 that's a sign he could just maybe be the new infinite character.
a lot of people are connected them,they are really similar in a lot of aspect but i don't think Sega is ever gonna reused him,sadly....
Makenzie Arender no infinite is mania sonic proof is czcams.com/video/GuZl-h7x3SI/video.html
That video explains that Mephiles could be a possible of being Infinite, it didn't say he would not be Infinite.
@@blackowolfe7293 holy shit you were right
Best Sonic villain after Eggman imo.
It's less lying and more choosing his words carefully.....which is still lying...
Also, he may have a god complex, but when you're the consciousness of a god of time as well as a physical manifestation of darkness, it's deserved.
When Mephiles told Silver that "Sonic was to Blame" for Iblis being released, he wasn't completely wrong. While it wasn't Sonic's day job to be Elise's body guard, he was constantly leaving her unattended for Eggman to do whatever with her. Take as you will cause whether Sonic knew about Iblis or not isn't the point I'm trying to convey.
When Silver asked something along the lines of "If that guy is the trigger, why are people getting in our way?" Mephiles says "what's it to you?" As if to imply that it shouldn't matter to Silver who or what gets in his way. If Silver was slightly less naïve, he could also think to himself "maybe he's tried other ways before".
What I'm trying to say is that Mephiles is so vague that whatever he says usually passes as the truth.
2:52 lol Mephiles is a giant
Evan at the age I couldn't play an 18 plus sonic game. It would destroy my childhood.
@@burntnutz69 yeah
Sonic games should only get up to a T rating
IMO the best villain sega ever created
I think infinite would you be a sociopath wen it come to thinking he's above everyone else.
2:45 i'll address him as a demon lol
the best thing mephiles ever did 9:54
I legit got so caught off-guard by the sexual deviant part that I started tearing up. Good video!
Metoooo I did not expect that either ha
Mephiles also has an infinite I.Q
Mephiles is gonna be so mad when he sees this
Dude Mephiles is one of my favorite characters besides Silver and Jet
But where is his mouth?
He was created without one. Big deal.
Important diffrence between a Sociopath and a Psychopath: Rule number one of being a psychopath is letting everyone not know you are one
a sociopath however is supspicious at best just wanting death and destruction. people in america often use the P-word in horror movies but even the pokemon anime has some. the diffrence of a sociopath and a psychopath can be confusing. you have these catagories:
derranged, mentally scarred,sadistic(the bloodthirsty one),antisocial,the cold murderer,and the one that just kills without knowing what he is even doing.
Can you word this better?
I had no idea that Mephiles was a sociopath.
I already liked Mephiles before this video but this just makes me love him more.
Also you get serious bonus points from me for having the “Mephiles Phase 2” fight music playing for the whole video, I still say it’s one of the greatest boss themes in Sonic.
Mephilis is just like thanos
True expect he only "killed" Sonic tho.
damn I'm just getting a whole bunch of me in a nutshell from this video Ig I'm a sociopath
Wonderful video!
just wanna point out, you're thinking of a psychopath not a sociopath.
psychopath's do not understand empathy and do not see the horrible thing they do to people to get what they want as wrong just a means to an end, a sociopath does understand empathy and that what they will do could harm others but don't care, they are much more ruthless than your average psychopath because they use their understanding of emotions to manipulate them as well as other means, the psycopath on the other hand tend to use blackmail, bribery or intimidation because they lack the understanding of emotions to manipulate them. mephilis is kinda both he has no empathy yet knows how to manipulate people's emotions.
Well mephiles killed sonic because he knew how Elise felt about him and that killing your lover will most definitely make you tear up so he does have an understanding of emotions so you’re very right, and shadow did say that he only craved destruction
Nice analysis, and it’s why he has so many fans X3

Bro your intro is "The Impossible game" that's sweet! 👍
jumpscare intro lol
Sonic 06 is just like the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy.
Sheev Palpatine/Darth Sidious manipulated a teen in Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader and his girlfriend to wife Padmé Amidala to get his goals.
Mephiles manipulated a teen in Silver and his friend (that fans ship) Blaze to get his goals.
Interesting I love the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy and I wish to play Sonic 06 due to its story.
This also fits Dr. Eggman very well.
Me when I saw him walk: *"Welcome to my gamer pad."*
Also when I was little I used to kill ants and kill a lot of bugs..idk why. Plus, I hate pretty much everyone.
the lawfulness point just proves that Mephiles is paranoid
I enjoy your videos
You didn't say that when the yellow and green swarl in a figure 8 which can show the infinite symbol symbolizing the villain infinite in I think one of the sonic games that come later in the years after when ever this game was
Sonic Forces. It's shit. Mephiles is not Infinite.
Mephiles may just be asexual, as there is hardly any reason for him to manipulate people through deviant acts in that regard. The fact that he mainly speaks to male characters does not at all indicate a preference. He speaks to Silver, knowing he is easily manipulated due to Silver's desperation to change the future. He talks to Shadow, who imprisoned him for 10 years and went so far as taking Shadow's shadow, to impersonate the one who claims to be the Ultimate Life Form. And Omega merely as a means to not only antagonize and mock him, but to manipulate Omega down the road into sealing Shadow in the Future timeline.
He does sorta speak to Blaze as well as Silver, just as desperate.
Mephiles also is not much of a liar. He in fact is startlingly honest and truthful about what he says. Sonic is in fact the Iblis Trigger, but leaves out incriminating details such as how or why Sonic is.
People are but pieces to him, the world as his chessboard. Carefully manipulating his foes to how he desires, and in the end, got exactly what he wanted.
But yes, I would agree Mephiles is a Sociopath, and is why we love him so much as a villain.
"mephiles may be asexual"
as an asexual, i definitely relate to mephiles on a spiritual level.
jk.
i like this input, though.
"Call Shane Dawson I think this guys a sociopath!" ~ Quadeca
To be honest, I actually think Mephiles is a psychopath, not a sociopath. After all, he is a demon and a shadow. One of the differences between a sociopath and a psychopath is that a sociopath is made, while a psychopath is born. And yeah...I know what happened to Mephiles and why he wanted revenge and everything...but if you ask me it’s not really that tragic or anything. I think Infinite might be a sociopath though. His theme song implies that he had a terrible childhood and grew up being abused. However, Mephiles isn’t even a person....he is Mephiles The Dark. That’s why I think he is a psychopath instead of a sociopath unlike Infinite. Also, psychopaths are worse than sociopaths. If you ask me, Mephiles is probably the most evil character in Sonic so I would assume he is a psychopath and definitely worse than Infinite. Mephiles is also very intelligent too, and psychopaths are better at doing bad things than sociopaths. They also don’t care about what they do and why it’s wrong, they don’t feel emotions and feelings, unlike sociopaths who might still at least detect the feeling that what they are doing is wrong.
Do Infinite and make a video where he’s a psychopath. Do Erazor Djinn being a narcissist.
You don’t say?
He become like this because he got friendzone so frequently, that's why he is an Alpha Gamer
lord danny: mephiles is basically gay
me: yay 2016 :(
Yes me too can agree the more man lol 😂 Lmao
Uh yeah
I see that.
Imagine if Mephiles has been voiced by Jim Cummings.
nice thumbnail.
Sociopath is to small of a word for Mephiles
....um these are all traits that i display........
...these are definitions of psychopaths,Sociopaths can feel emotions and don't actually manipulate others,Psychopaths are these who can't feel emotions and manipulate others.
Never knew I was this much of a sociopath. What can I say? Flies deserve their limbs to be torn off the buggers.
its like trevor from gta v and in an alternate ending (ending a) trevor might come back as a ghost and be like mephiles in every way because there is a trevor ghost easter egg and i'm mentioning gta v because trevor is also a sociopath so i could relate them both
compare them both*
Mephiles should be in an adult show like family guy or american dad
What does mephiles sexuality have to do with this..? Like..why? Im confused on why his sexuality was brought up
I just idk
Also..me too
Because it's a trait sociopaths have duh
DO AMY!
When he first spoke it was funny when he said the word 'chicken'. BAWKA!!!🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤
But Mephiles The Dark is still a "dark" badass villain that everyone loves!!!! Pun intended m
You really like metal Sonic
Come to think of it if Sega won't really bring him back because he's a one-time villain no matter how many times the fans Asks THEN WHY DID THEY BRING BACK SHADOW!?
he kinda is a problem to the law considering he gets silver to try to murder sonic and murders sonic at the end of the game
Aren't all evil people and villains psychopaths and sociopaths? Is there such thing as an empathetic villain?
Obviously. There are villains who have some loved ones.
Sociopath?
Waste of a video when you have to analyze a bad guy with motives as clear as day.
I guess I'm also a sociopath

I think we know he’s a sociopath
well ... metull oferlord vs def egg rodot fantum rody vs methulus
Fact: Mephiles is technically right about Sonic being the Iblis trigger. After all Shadow is based on Super Sonic and Mephiles/Iblis is born from Shadow.
Infinite is a sociopath.
I mean I thought it was pretty obvious
Memphis tennesse
No preferred sexuality my ass. "What's wrong, Shadow? Don't you support gay rights?"
Again, explain to me how the hell anybody can even hate Mephiles
As a little kid I would’ve hated him because he killed sonic so there, explained
He doesn’t like being told no... hmm where is this seen my frisking sister he’s a baby who doesn’t like being told off

Not that hard to figure out, still good though
From what therapists know, Mehpiles is actually a Psychopath then, Sociopaths are made and can feel emotion and have a difficult time trying to lie, Sociopaths tend to be a lot more active that way, Psychopaths and Sociopaths are usually mistaken quite often but still quite different when you look into it, Psychopaths are born and have numbed emotions and sometimes intense anger, find it easier to manipulate and lie, narcissistic behavior applies to both, it’s easy to confuse these types of disorders from how similar they tend to be, Psychopaths are the ones that mimic emotions and can’t fully understand them, Psychopaths are the ones that tend to have the High IQ as Sociopaths are made so the person can have any IQ and become one eventually, Psychopaths are born with the high IQ and Disorder, Sociopaths have remorse so this is also wrong, essentially your describing a Psychopath in this video and calling it a Sociopath, Therapists still contradict sometimes and need to figure more out about them, as you could figure, quite difficult
“Psychopaths tend to be more manipulative, can be seen by others as more charming, lead a semblance of a normal life, and minimize risk in criminal activities. Sociopaths tend to be more erratic, rage-prone, and unable to lead as much of a normal life.” You could say Mehpiles is a bit crazy but Psychopaths also have a rage issue at time which cause them to also get out of control, but in Mephiles case he isn’t a Sociopath as Sociopaths tend to always be unstable and doing something crazy while Mephiles takes his time and calmly calculates his moves
“Psychopaths are usually deemed more dangerous than sociopaths because they show no remorse for their actions due to their lack of empathy. Both of these character types are portrayed in individuals who meet the criteria for antisocial personality disorder.”
“Doctors don't officially diagnose people as psychopaths or sociopaths. They use a different term instead: antisocial personality disorder. Most experts believe psychopaths and sociopaths share a similar set of traits.”
“Sociopathy and psychopathy are considered to be two types of APD. While psychopaths are classified as people with little or no conscience, sociopaths do have a limited, albeit weak, ability to feel empathy and remorse.”
“The most-important causes of sociopathy, in contrast, lie in physical or emotional abuse or severe trauma experienced during childhood. To put the matter simplistically, psychopaths are born, and sociopaths are made.”
Just a few quotes from some sites, can always just google this stuff, just clarifying because these disorders are personality disorders and somewhat considered basically the same thing by most professionals
Shouldn’t this be an eight part series?
The dog ?
