- The kaiju has gone super sonic. Knuckles needs to take him down, once and for all. But this fight isn’t simply Sonic vs Knucks. No. The echidna has the Sonic dream team of Tails, Amy Rose, Big the Cat, Cream the Rabbit and Blaze the Cat to fight alongside him. But, Sonic the Hedgehog / Kaiju has a few tricks up his sleeve for our heroes.
It’s gonna be tough: a lot of them still believe the Blue Blur is in this Sonic exe type monster… somewhere. But, they know this battle can’t rage on forever. So, sit back, relax, and watch the penultimate episode of There’s Something About Knuckles.

Great.
Dang.
Hoping for January
Yes
Man,, 3 MONTHS,3 HORUS, 3 MINUTES, for a part 8?
😐😐 nah that's okay, I liked this episode ❤
Just to explain why we couldn't quite finish the series with this episode, basically we are our own worst enemies and the duration ballooned during final script writing. We really wanted to deliver something great before the end of the year, so we put EVERYTHING into this six minute penultimate episode. Like Im talking many many late nights and a HUGE team (30+ people).
The next episode really will be the end of this chapter. Promise it'll be worth the wait. Mashed
Are we gonna see tails and Amy from tsaa make an appearance? Or will we just cut to there’s something about eggman or sonething
ok
Mashed that was awsome as hell well done with the animation that is the GOAT
Okay Mashed at least you let everyone know about Part 8.
Alright, can't wait for part 8 next year
Knuckles’ voice acting absolutely never disappoints me, it’s so amazing.
ngl he sounds like shadow.
@@user-wd7cj8tg9b You mean raphael from ninja turtles?
I wish he was my dad.
FR
I just had a thought... What if Secret histories Tails isn't THIS Tails. He's the voice inside Knuckles' head pushing him to make bad decisions.
My theory corrected. It has to be a nanobot planted inside of Knuckles’ head.
Yeah I don’t think it would make sense for SH Tails to be this one, the voice in his head has been telling him to distrust this world’s Tails for a while
They did said on a podcast that was the idea for the Amy one
@@andrewleyton6689 Well damn
@@timkozdra5647 Nanomachines, son
Now that I think about it. Perhaps the fact that Knuckles was blind in one eye was probably foreshadowing the curse transfer into it.
That would make sense...🤔
Wow I hate the new feature where it shows the comments cuz now I got spoiled):
@@G_Gamer_Plays
That wasn’t a spoiler.
I have a theory that the voice Knuckles keeps hearing is the 'There's something about Amy' Tails, pushing Knuckles over the edge to become the best version of himself: The Lone Brute.
Far from his best version. His best version is whenever he’s tagging along with Sonic and Tails, team heroes for ever, yo
@willb.5225 Fair enough, but then this Knuckles is probably still a viable candidate since prior to the Sonic-Kaiju incident, that's probably what Knuckles was. I still think that 'There's something about Amy' Tails is trying to evoke that classic Knuckles, the lone brute who was steadfast in his ways to do what he wants.
@@starstruck8862 yep, fake Tails got his Amy, now he’s getting his own Knuckles. Wish this would have a happy ending lol but it won’t sadly
W adapting sonic fr💀😭😭
THEORY- This finally confirms Secret History Tails manipulation. Somehow, he’s the voice in Knuckles head, telling him to use the emerald to become a monster.
And that the Tails in this universe was a scapegoat. But then again, he could’ve been pretending to be Tails and then slipped a nano bot inside of Knuckles’ head. Similar to what happened in the Transformers IDW Comics with Tarantulas manipulating Roadbuster before killing him.
I was under the impression was just knux's psyche cracking under the pressure of losing Sonic and being forced into leadership. Maybe I'm wrong but I feel that this Tails and Amy are genuine and not imposters. The only really sus thing was tails keeping the secret about sonic from the others, but I can't blame someone for doing something like that either. Honestly I'm still on the fence and will just have to wait to see how things turns out.
@@capthavicthe voice told him “wakey wakey” and told him to take the emerald to become a monster. That’s pretty SUS
@@timkozdra5647Fact the voice was starting to act like Secret History Tails when he was like “wakey wakey. Use the emerald.” That just feels pretty suspicious
@@mr.l8723 Indeed, for example Tails could have spiked Knux's drink(s) to effect his mind or something. Thats why I'm not ruling it out entirely, just can't make any definitive judgment yet.
At least Big will see Froggy again. Press F to pay respects for Big.

Who here thinks Cream is going to be the true hero of the whole multiverse story?
I mean, she's a pure-hearted rabbit taught by a wise woman. I'm sure an alternate version of her would quickly realize when Tails is not being himself.
What do you mean by the last sentence? This is my second ep. Is this a fake tails or something?
@@Evangelionism I don't know which Tails is , but cares for his friends,evrn if he hid the truth for sonic
@Pimp.Named.Slickback uhhhhhhhhhh... watch the other episodes, or maybe the tails episode of serect histories first
What are you doing here hahaha, go watch the others first 😅@@Evangelionism
@@Evangelionismis either tails or amy but they seem to really push the idea is tails with the promotional material ; but there are a bunch of details who sugest that amy is the impostor

Seeing Big desperatly trying to get out of the tank is SO sad, poor Cream 😢
Amazing video!!!
Damn poor Big, guy was crushed half to death while losing Froggy in the process and now he died to an explosion while surrounded by lava.
RIP
Ikr , they did him dirty , my boy suffered so many times and almost died many times and now he actually died in the worst way possible
😂😂😂😂
And he didn't say a word to
It is the best series that mashed is making right now. It just feels like the story will never end.
i mean when theres still a whole multiverse to explore i doubt it will 😂
This is the story that never ends. Yes it goes on and on my friend. So people STARTED TELLING IT not knowing what it was. And we’ll continue telling it forever just because This is the story that never ends. Yes it goes on and on my friend. So people STARTED TELLING IT not knowing what it was. And we’ll continue telling it forever just because This is the story that never ends. Yes it goes on and on……..
Well the series is great but the thing thats making it endless is the fact that it's being uploaded slowly and each episode is barely 3 to 4 minutes at best except for this one while in THSAA the episodes were longer+more frequently uploaded. I don't mind the not ending part but the timer on each sucks
W knuckles fr😂😅😅😭😭💀
@@heytheresportw fr😂😅💀💀
It may be just me, but does anyone else think that a Kaiju Sonic hunt would make for a banger Monster Hunter mod? Maybe we could get TeacommonShark for it.
I don't play Monster Hunter, but I think that as well.
I mean there was a sonic thing going on in monster hunter where the cat would be dressed as sonic and the dog as tails
True
Once upon a time I mentioned my appreciation for the amazing talent these animators possess, the way the faces aren't restricting the expressions of the imagination have a certain charm that can't be copied in an alternate route
This chapter has been a massive wild ride since the beginning. And now that the end of this chapter of the journey is only a month and a half at shortest away is astounding.
By the way: did you all know today is chapter 2's first anniversary? Part 1 released all the way back exactly a year ago today, and Part 6 literally launched the same day as it...
Coincidentally enough, mashed also said that part 2 would launch in Q1 earlier this year and it released on February 2nd....could that be part 8s possible release date? I dunno.
I do have two more theories and its my final two for this chapter....for real this time i swear
All my previous theories besides eggman having something to do with all of this have all been confirmed to be sadly rubbish. But thats what i like honestly: this series has completely subverted what i thought would happen and throw a curveball that surprised me nearly every time.
But this time. I think i finally cracked it, almost the near end in and i think i finally solved the mystery of the real story of robotnik... and that SH tails might not be as involved this time as you think he is
Time for the first one...
-Crazy Amy was the big mastermind this time:
The signs have been there since the start just like with tails back in chapter 1.
However...what can be noticed is that tail's doesn't really have many major out of character moments this time besides his behavior in part 6 at the start...amy on the other hand has had notable instances of "wierd" moments. The biggest one had to also be in part 6 where her eyes change to a familiar "red" color and attempts to murder tails... and later on when she comes across the body of eggman and the syringe on the table, she doesn't react at all nor questions anything about it, in fact she even seems to try and change the subject with "where the kaiju is" as if shes trying to dodge the question entirely...
And wouldn't you know it: this part ends with amy attempting to talk to "sonic"...why she didn't try at the start of this is something that can't be answered now. But i won't be surprised if at this end of this chapter we get something like "I'm sonics dream girl!" Instead of "I'm sonics best friend!"...
Im not saying Secret histories tails did nothing at all. If anything he was much more indirect this time, which leads to my next theory
Mashed, I don’t think you know this yet… but the team behind the official “Sonic the Hedgehog” YT Channel _(seemingly)_ acknowledged this series in their “Sonic Twitter & TikTok Takeover # 7” video- specifically when they get to the 3rd Question. (Just listen to what Tails says! 🦊)
Ok I know what you’re talking about and I noticed it too
But it’s only a connection fans of these videos can make
You’re pulling at thin straws lol
Tails: “I hope there’s a Sonic out there that’s my BEST friend. Wait- We _are_ best friends… right Sonic?”
Just watched it and left a comment. They did a TikTok a while ago that is more than a subtle nod to Something About Amy lol
@@RTD_Dev Even if that word Best Friend, he cares for the rest , Even if it is , hopefully it would be redeption
@@mashedWhat were your thoughts?
Especially given the way Tails said "best friend" in the context of Sonic and Amy mentioning "The Perfect Sonic"?
Given by the scream at the end, I think Knuckles will also become a Kaiju in order to free Sonic. Because if you listen closely to the yell, it doesn’t sound like Sonic’s. It sounds deeper and we last see Knuckles about to shatter the container the emerald is in. So we might see Kaiju Knuckles
But he's in the mech, so it might help?
@@FreakiFreakenton or the mech will just break completly
@@alejandrocamacho8522 probably yeah, but it'd be kinda neat if he just merged with the mech and chaos emerald.
I think you might be right.
i tink he will kill sonic in the end.
4:25 who ever plays knuckles Did a great damn job delivering this line
Waiting for the reveal to be that Something Tales had placed a microphone in Knuckles's ear.
That the voice he kept hearing giving him dark thoughts was a simple fox standing on the sidelines.
Damn the level of suspense in this series has been crazy and is this really the end of the series especially after they leave us on a cliffhanger like that?
Nope there’s one more episode
AAAAAAAAAAA Each episode just keeps getting more and more intense!!
I STILL personally believe that Tails and Amy are both the same ones we saw earlier and that they're both doing some GRADE A acting imo. Tails especially being expertly manipulative and Amy directed in how she should act and what she should do.
I just want to BET that her approaching Sonic like that could have been a planned scenario to get Knuckles to go over the edge and do something that will permanently change him.
I can't freaking wait to see the ending
Wow, Mashed does NOT disappoint. I still believe Tails will somehow get a hold of that crystal. Poor Big. 5:15
Rip Big cat
5:03 Oh Shit I Gotta Run
Big😢
BIG, the floor is….. LAVA!!!
@@HynomicOmen faster big pls Faster is gonna
Yes, we'll wait 3 more hours for a 90 second clip.
Worth it
fr fr
I doubt it’s 90 seconds.
@@thechewster9826 3 minutes
@@EduardoFelix-ui6xsif it’s 3 minutes then part 8 has to be 3 minutes to.
I love how basically each "bad version" of each one is basically the stereotype each of them had became in recent games till Horizons, Tails personality comes down to "help others" and "Sonic friend", as Tails is obsessed with Sonic and always tries to push others to their "full potential" in his eyes, Amy being bonkers by loving Sonic and being a brute, and Knuckles, when he eventually absorbs the chaos emerald, becoming the dumb and strong of the group
Damn, big did not have to go out like that. But at least Blaze has a VA now.
4:44
Is it me, or did Amy randomly get a bit of a budget increase there?
No spoilers, but in the immortal words of Kevin Hart: “It’s about to go down.” 🔥🔥
LETS GO!
LETS GOOO!!!!!!
Oh
@@brandonharristsw7516 yep
@@WizdaVision uh ok
This one was going to be epic in part 7 for sure. Can't wait for that to start 😊
Only Mashed can make this marvelous series get more epic with each episode! Great job once again guys the voice acting and animation on this one was especially GREAT!
I honestly liked this.
I didn’t expect that twist.
I think the Something about Sonic series is truly you at your best.
I hope there will be more.
Congratulations guys, great work on your part. Poor Amy, poor Knuckles, poor Tails, poor Sonic. Real Sonic could talk to them somehow, or through telepathy, he could explain to them where the monster's weak point is.
Oh
What? No poor Big?
@@JumperTV33 yes big sorry
5:31 ENOUGH
Amy? NO AMY GET DOWN NOW!
This Sonic Frontiers DLC lookin really cool,cant wait to play it
Imagine if there was an ACTUAL mod of the game where you fight the Sonic Kaiju.😳
@@GoofyGamer1987kaiju is Japanese for Monsters like Godzilla
What if one of the monsters from the monsterverse was one of them or even Mechagodzilla
Man this is gonna be awesome, I can’t wait to see part 7
Tbh this could have been a good opportunity to put the dead yamcha pose 5:59
I genuinely have a theory, those voices in Knuckle's head might just be TSA Tails manipulating him the way he did TSA Amy
RIP Big
2022-2023
Biggest heart on the team
I'm still thinking that killing the Titan isn't gonna stop the curse. And even if it does, Knux is going to become a Titan anyway, thanks to that Chaos Emerald.
yeah i think so too and he's going to be involved with secret history tails and crazy amy somehow
@@pinkiepierocks6360 I'm thinking that when Sonic/the Titan is neutralized, and Knuckles becomes the new Titan, is when SH Tails will finally reveal himself, and by that point, everyone else aside from him and Amy will be dead. Nobody left to stop him, and he doesn't have to worry about decaying the world with the energy crystals, if Knuckles will do the job for him.
@@SmokeTheHorsehog and considering how badly this knuckles and amy get along i have a feeling she'll be like you will never be as good as sonic
4:06 something about amy refrence
Everyone is talking about how great Amy and Tails’ voice actress is but no one is talking about how great Knuckles’ voice actor is (including his inner voice). 6:01 the part when the voice said Wakey Wakey brings out shivers.
I wasn't surprised when part 8 will be coming soon
This was super epic and it was super epic being able to work with all of you!! Incredible work all around!
I actually REALLY like this knuckles, and you can see how much he's not only struggling with his insecurities, but ACTUALLY fighting them. He had the idea, that maybe he could use that chaos power and control it, and his ego even told him in a desperate attempt to piece itself together that he was strong enough that he COULD, and yet... He didn't try. He kept fighting until all other options were exhausted. Yes, he stilled turned to his idea in the end. However, the fact that he waited first shows how his character is still growing, and if he survives the chaos it looks like he might come out a much better man. Unless of course he get's recruited by the batman who la- I mean weird twisted sonic from the amy short series
In one of the mashed podcasts they said that this series is actually really part of There's Something About Amy series. Which at some point both universes are suppose to merge together for the actual main story line.
Okay, who animated the Amy part at 4:50? It's way to smooth
Yeah fr
Sonic is long gone all that's left now are the memories of him deal with the Kaiju before it deals with you!
Will Knuckles give in to his demons or will he find another way? Tune in the next episode of Mashed: There's Something About Knuckles.
Poor big he never caught a break from the battle
2:29 smashy smashy
Also, man would I love to look at all the designs of the characters, their mechs and the Kajiu’s after this, without the emotional context so I can just bask in the beauty of this art
it’s genuinely beautiful and rad
I love how the animation is basically those "harsh sketch-like moments" that are used in shows such as Gurren Lagann in the very special scenes - but here those are everywhere. Some may say it's due to "production budget being lower than FREAKING GAINAX" but I'd say there is also another reason for it. Because every moment here seems like those vital high-stakes moments that usual products (such as anime shows) have to use sparingly and draw out for several seasons. Here we have CONCENTRATED HYPE.
you guys... y'all are doing an amazing job, i cannot wait to see where this will go, went all out on this one huh?
it was great to watch
I believe Tails will find the Emerald crystal resonance frequency and use Harmonic vibrations to shatter the crystal. Then Tails will be cursed for shattering the crystal or unwittingly join Sonic and both will be cursed. That would then lead into Something About Amy meeting Sonic.
My god all of this series is soo damn epic YALL are killing it!! I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!
It's scary how Knuckles' jealousy is slowly turning him into a monster.
Knuckles has the biggest PTSD trip I’ve ever seen animated…
This was really well done. Can’t wait for the next one 🔥
Oh my goodness. Knuckles is gonna get the Kaiju powers, loose his mind, and then be taken in by SH Tails and Franken-Amy.
This is truly an amazing series and I can't wait for the end Mashed you and your team have brought me so much joy thruout the years with your shows and I truly appreciate all that you have brought and made thank you for being amazing
Damn Knuckles gonna consume some Crystal MET-
Don't cancel me

MAN, honestly, this ep was incredible, I'm following this series and my boy, it made me crazy for more episodes, you do an incredible job, keep it up♡♡♡
bro episode 8 will be crazy!!!!!! I literally have a playlist of all the lore! (Secret history of tails, something wrong with amy, and something wrong with knuckles)
they should give us a little scene where sonic try’s to fight the monster and hears Amy speech and overwhelms it with power
I'm getting so hyped for the ending
Hope is a happy ending
I hope so to
@@KirbeatsAnimations yeah
W ENDING but tails and amy and knuckles did most the work😂😂💀💀😭😭
Ahh so that’s how tails is playing this, the pressure of the path he’s most likely been guiding knuckles on has finally pushed knuckles to do something previously unthinkable to save his friends, become the monster. And with tails “conveniently” taking extra care to save the DEMONIC crystal he has the opportunity, I’m sure I’m not the first person to think this but I gotta say well played by tails, if this turns out to be correct he’s supernaturally good at long term planning.
Finally, a sonic fan animation that actually has a compelling story, and actually lets the girls do stuff instead of having them just be scared on the sidelines. The animation and voice acting is great too. Kudos
Best Epic *There's Something About Knuckles* Video I can definitely get used to this year! I Absolutely Love this!
This reminds of "The Batman who laughs" since Batman went insane and recruited other versions of himself. I am wondering if "crazy tails" might recruit knuckles like he did when he recruited Amy when she went crazy, since knuckles might go crazy by the crystal and kill "His Sonic" like Amy did when killing "her sonic". They might be willing to join crazy tails so they could find "Their" Sonic. Who knows what mashed is planning in the final episode.
One question: What Sonic are they looking for? A crazy one like them? Like what Tails is looking for? Please, he is delusional.
@@ShermanYeo More like crazy tails is looking for a sonic who can be his "Best friend" and is only using Amy (Maybe even Knuckles) to help him find the perfect sonic or something
Best episode ever of there's something about Knuckles this is the greatest Christmas gift ever Mashed and your entire team are awesome and also merry Christmas.
I love the design of sonic kaiju, is literally a Living hell walking, living only to bring death to all life in all the universe
This is gonna be awesome. Can't wait to see it
Remember in back in episode 2 when Tails gave Knuckles a "headache" remedy?....😮
Great job to everyone involved in this project this is by far one of my favorite ☺
I cannot describe how much I love this series 😭❤️ the voice acting, storyline and art is absolutely amazing. Top quality animation 💯
Its so upsetting to see this vlose to the end but so exciting to see this awesome story and see how its gonna end
Yall did an awesome job on it and still will
This series is totally worth the wait definitely excited for the conclusion
Fr
The animation and story telling in these is always so amazing!
This was amazing can't wait for the finale
A year after part 1 we’re getting part 7 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow. all I can say is wow. I have never been so invested in a story before in my life! This is incredible!
Ikr
Seeing my man Big The Cat die right in front of us is sad as fuck
Knuckles really said "I'm the one who mutates"
Breaking bad gameboy reference
If they lose Sonic wins, but if they win that means "HE" wins, after all he's Sonic Best friend.
Wow things are getting insane and I’m excited for this to be concluded
God dang it Mashed you know how to pull our hearts strings!
Damn! It was so dramatic, I could feel the beat of my heart. NO JOKE !
4:00 seeing as Knuckles is the guardian of master emerald with mean he was all the time in contact with emerald energy wouldn't it give him some immunity?
To get this much level of entertainment from a CZcams animation it's just Wild you guys keep out shining yourself this was incredible
I’m hyped for part 8!
I dont think Big is dead yet still fully confirmed
but this last ep is gonna be a big one
This series is everything
Can't wait to see how this plays out
the amount of word dedication and skill that goes into this is amazing!
I like to believe that Since It's only half of the crystal and not both crystal eyes, knuckles might Just be able to control It Since they wont be In his eyes therefore unable to connect to his mind
He might be able to contain It Since It's half of the power
