  I don&apos;t really see Dark Sonic as a villain, more like this overprotective and enraged form that takes fighting his enemies to the extreme.

  I just realized, in Unleashed’s opening cutscene, when Eggman says “I’ll turn over a new leaf I swear!” Super sonic sort of believed him as he then says “Showing remorse Eggman?” part of me thinks that because of the emerald’s positive energy granting his super form, and Sonic’s general attitude of caring for others in his own way, he actually believed him for a second, we also know thanks to Adventure and chaos using the “negative” energy of the emeralds, maybe the classic chaos emeralds could also activate Sonic’s dark form if he just let anger consume him, idk but it’s something interesting i noticed when watching this video, even though no one might even see this…

  I like that dark sonic isn&apos;t like an evil version, it&apos;s just Sonic with a blodlust

  Dark Sonic is an official form no matter what! He&apos;s wasted potential!

  I’ve always found it more interesting to make “Dark” versions of characters retain the same goals, just with twisted morals, they’re not necessarily evil, they still fight the good fight, they just don’t hold back and use any means necessary. It can make for an interesting conversation about a hero’s morals, do they simply lack the ability to do what’s necessary, or is there such a thing as going too far? Personally I fall into the former but it does rely alot on context, and contextually if a “dark” hero has a serious blood lust then they are going too far.

  I thought I was the only one that remembered this. They could have done so much more with this form. Such a waste

  Everyone&apos;s said it already, but Dark Super Sonic (and Dark Sonic by association) IS theoretically a canon form of Sonic. Remember in SA1, how Chaos used the negative energy of the chaos emeralds to turn into perfect chaos while Sonic used the positive energy still left inside the chaos emeralds? What if Sonic uses the negative chaos energy inside of the emeralds at one point instead? He&apos;d most likely become Super Dark Sonic instead of the golden hog&apos; we all know and love, since that one is a purely positive chaos energy transformation.<br><br>too bad Sega nor IDW want to sweep this super cool form under the rug for good. It&apos;d be awesome to have in in some form of game or comic plot one day.

  i see Dark Sonic as just Sonic no longer concerned with holding back, nothing super, just not restricting himself and eggman being able to bring him out of it is because he realized the one person who not only knows him well but also understands being the bad guy well is looking at him with disappointment for what he has become.

  I can see dark sonic appearing in the third live action movie. Just seems like a good direction for that movie to go in with it introducing Shadow and could be a nice spin on Sonic&apos;s character development, similar to Spiderman and the black suit.
