![]() Sonic the Hedgehog Mephiles the Dark Character Fan art, night sky, purple, violet, sonic The Hedgehog png 1024x1024px 1014.13KB.I'm a Christian myself and as far biblical themed Sonic fan art is concerned.I've seen some and it's the cringe as hell. It's actually quite common in japanese anime it would seem which would also go some way to explaining why. Lots of other media have made biblical references. Many of these may not be at all intentional though.Īny parallels made are artistic references to one of the most powerful and well known stories in the world. I can agree with Black Doom to an extent. Mary is often portrayed as wearing blue and Maria is another translation of that name. Maria I suspect is meant to reference Mary. Sacrificing himself for humanity at the end of SA2 instead of them dying for their "sins" as Gerald intended. I'm surprised you haven't pointed out the other biblical parallels involving Shadow though. Churches and crosses would imply a similar religion and symbolism is present in the Sonic game universe which isn't too surprising as we have seen slight reference to other religions too. Good vs evil isn't just a Christian thing either. Many of the things you listed are not unique to Sonic and very commonly used in lots of media and aren't meant to be anything particularly important. Sorry bruh, but again, as someone who grew up with Christianity and so forth, I would respectfully disagree with you on this. Devil horns and angel wings always have been used as a general symbolism for good and bad. Even anime with gay characters have Christian fan art.Įven my Christian family don't see any actual Christian elements in Sonic he Hedgehog. I see Rick and Morty Christian art and that show is like super anti-religion. Angels were considered "mysterious beings" in many religions.Īlot of religion mention a type of heaven and hell in their versions, not just Christianity.Īs for the fan art, you can see alot of the fan art is because due to the influence of Christianity itself and people will associate things with Christianity automatically. The term "devil" is used for many ways, not because of Satan.Īngel Island is called Angel Island because it floats and mysterious. The angel statues, wings, and such is literally just a symbolism for good. Not for the specific Christian God, so Vector believing in a God is just him believinga God. In Japan, God is just a general term for any deity. well as someone who grew up with Christian values and such, you are just seeing general "good vs evil" stuff. I always felt Sonic did it a lot more than other games of the genre. ![]() I'm Catholic myself and I just think it's interesting when games take inspiration from religious imagery. I'm fully aware that these are most likely just artistic choices by the devs and aren't supposed to convey any kind of religious message. And people wonder why there's so much bizzare Christian Sonic fanart floating around, lol.Įdit: Thanks for the comments, but I wanted to clarify that I'm not looking for any deeper meaning or significance behind the games. The final boss of Sonic Riders also contains religious imagery, with the player racing through both Heaven and Hell-like environments. evil theme, with the final boss literally being called 'Devil Doom' and heavily resembling Satan. Pumpkin Hill also has a Church and tombstones that resemble crosses, implying the Sonic universe has/had some kind of Jesus figure. The Hero and Dark Chao Gardens resemble Heaven and Hell. evil theme, with some promo art containing Christian imagery. There is also a texture of a demonic face on the floor during Knuckles' fight with Chaos in Station Square. SA1's Red Mountain stage is heavily inspired by Hell. May be a stretch, but the giant title screen rings usually have angel wings. In the manual for Chaotix, it is stated that Vector The Crocodile 'believes in God'. The earliest example I can think of is the angel statue in Sonic CD. Something cool and interesting I've noticed upon playing through the Sonic series again is the amount of Christian themes/symbolism present throughout many of the games, at least, the earlier ones.
