One of the most underrated tracks in Sonic history. Also, for context to Rouge's dynamic to the series at large, she's kinda like the Catwoman to Knuckles' Batman. She is a thief/treasure hunter who loves jewels and secretly works as a government agent as a side gig. She starts out the game trying to steal Knuckles' mystical gem that he's supposed to guard, the Master Emerald. Dr. Eggman shows up and beats her to the punch, stealing the Emerald himself. This left Knuckles no choice but to shatter the Emerald and search for the shards (Which he has the ability to sense), which he would rather happen over one of these two stealing it. Eggman escapes and Rouge declares she will find the pieces first because all gems are hers to keep. That's what sparks the tension between her and Knuckles. And also leads to her eventually teaming up with Dr. Eggman for her own personal gain. She starts out a very selfish and mysterious rogue with her own gray area of morality and it's very interesting to see a Sonic character handled like that.
Rouge is such a funny character. She's a both a government agent AND a thief, and upon several occasions she's stealing from her own workplace. She occasionally works for the President as well. She gets the job done but she always wants something in return and if she sees something she wants more, whatever mission she's on can wait. I love her chemistry with Knuckles, who's known for being a bit socially awkward since he's been alone on an island his whole life and he's a bit intimidated by girls, and who better to make a counterpart of knuckles to than a sexy curvy flirtatious girl, who also so happens to want to steal the one thing he's sworn his whole life to protect. They share quite a few moments with unironic "sexual tension" across SA2 as well when they're butting heads over the Master Emerald. I love them
Shadow has quite a few themes. "I am... All Of Me" has 2 versions. Magni-Fi and Crush 40 "All Hail Shadow" has 2 versions. Magni-Fi and Crush 40 "Throw It All Away" from SA2
Rouge is indeed a thief, a jewel thief specifically (and she clashes with Knuckles in this game because Knuckles’ whole shtick is protecting the Master Emerald and she wants it). Also she’s a government spy so that’s a thing
in the same update they added I'm Here - Revisited, they gave character themes to the main cast in Sonic Frontiers. up to you if you'll listen to them all in one video or separately Maybe If... - Amy Mvt. Blood Flow - Knuckles Mvt. Another Passage - Tails Mvt. Second Wind - Sonic Mvt.
Fly in the Freedom is another banger as usual I think the next could be "Lazy Days (Livin' in Paradise)" Big the Cat's theme from Sonic Adventure 1, or "E.G.G.M.A.N." Dr. Eggman's theme from Sonic Adventure 2, both are also really good, just like the other character themes! Rouge is a really fun character like the other characters created by Sonic Team, she is indeed a thief, but she is also a government spy Her plot in Sonic Adventure 2 basically is: Rouge LOVES jewels, and she wants Knuckles jewel, the Master Emerald, maybe you've heard about, Knuckles is the guardian of the Master Emerald since both were introduced in Sonic 3 and in Sonic Adventure 1, Rouge wants the Master Emerald for her but Knuckles of course do not let her do it as its guardian, Dr. Eggman appears, try to steal the Master Emerald (again), Knuckles breaks it, Rouge gets mad at Knuckles, he says that if the Master Emerald is destroyed he can restore, so they both separate and start searching for the Master Emerald shards around, acting as rivals, there is also another plot involving her WHILE she looks around for the shards of the Master Emerald, she joins Shadow and Dr. Eggman team to help them to find the Chaos Emeralds and destroy the world, but finds out she was a government spy looking over Shadow because he is an experiment done by Dr. Gerald, yara yara yara Actually, the whole thing of SA2 is about rivals, there are 2 teams, each team with 3 members with a specific kind of gameplay, Sonic and Shadow are Speed gameplay, Tails and Eggman are Mech Shooting gameplay and Knuckles and Rouge are Treasure Hunting gameplay, and the characters with the same gameplay from each team are rivals from each other, Sonic is Shadow's Rival, Tails is Eggman's Rival and Knuckles is Rouge's Rival (and Knuckles and Rouge also have a cool relationship, she flirts with him, and he gets shy and mad at her, while they fight for the Master Emerald)
Ah I forgot about Sonic Saturdays !!! Today's my birthday, what a little blessing, I love this song ! And YES, Rouge IS a thief !! Haha ! She'd fit right into P5 if she wasn't a cartoon animal ^^
@@seanibarra-loredo7290 Okay true !! but she's differently styled, not a tiny mascot character ! ... though that would actually be funny to see her in Morgana proportions...
It's only something I noticed while watching your reaction, but at 5:14 they play a little motif in the background that appears across this track, and it reminded me of a section of Unknown From ME ( specifically at 1:26 in ua-cam.com/video/r8sB8N44eBE/v-deo.html ) And I wouldn't be surprised if they did that intentionally, seeing as Knuckles and Rouge are pretty much mirror images of eachother, with their gameplay styles being identical in SA2, and one of them being someone who defends a precious gem, and the other being someone who goes around stealing gemstones, and there's probably something to be said about how they used the same notes, but put a more "jazzy" spin on them for a character like Rouge, but I don't music theory for a living so I'll leave that up to you lmao. Also don't mind me just copy and pasting my song recommendation from under one of your other videos. I think it'd be fun for you to listen to the first vocal theme in a Sonic game, from Sonic CD in 1993. Interestingly, there are two different songs between the Japanese/European and American versions of the game, and I'd love to know which you prefer. In an attempt to weigh your decision: I'm on team JP. Japanese Version (You Can Do Anything) : ua-cam.com/video/G2frHKD9DPo/v-deo.html American Version (Sonic Boom) : ua-cam.com/video/Lft02DuvqnQ/v-deo.html
Rouge Is a treasure hunter and love interest of Knuckles BTW she's working with government/ Eggman (no spoilers why) You should listen to Throw it all away or E.G.G.M.A.N booth from sa2 I pefer yesman10 lyric videos 😅
If you wanna switch it up from the Adventure games, there is a song from one of the Sonic racing spin-offs, Sonic Riders called "Catch Me If You Can" which I recommend a listen to. It actually has two versions, the original and a remix for the sequel. "Catch Me If You Can" (Sonic Riders) "Catch Me If You Can" (Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity) And there are yesmen10 videos for BOTH versions 😊
U.N.K.N.O.W.N From M.E., Fly in the Freedom, and E.G.G.M.A.N are my fave characters themes in the entirety of both Sonic Adventure 1 & 2. I'm so lucky to be 16 and to grow up with the classic Sonic games! When I heard Fly in the Freedom play in Shadow Generations when Rouge appeared after Sonic and Shadow fought, I went insane.
Many great suggestions here, but I'd love if you reacted to Victor McKnight's trilogy of songs based on the Sonic movies! (Ready Set & Go; Up 2 Speed; Darker Side of Me)
After your done with the characters themes I highly suggest you take a look at the sonic mania animations. Like mania’s open cutscenes and all 6 of mania adventures episodes. They’re short and sweet, well animated and too darn cute
Within the Nintendo group being the developer Intelligent Systems (Fire Emblem, Wario Ware, Advance Wars) They have/had a bunch of unsung legends, like Yuka Tsujiyoko, Hiroki Morishita and Yoshito Sekigawa (my favorite composer).
Put simply, Rouge the Bat is the Catwoman of the Sonic series.
Lazy Days (Livin' in Paradise) is a bop, you should check it out :)
also Morrigan, but I understand the parallel with Catwoman

An underrated gem (pun intended) of a track. Wish there was more jazzy tracks in the series.
Rouge the Bat is basically a femme fatale/thief expy.
Rouge is such a funny character. She's a both a government agent AND a thief, and upon several occasions she's stealing from her own workplace. She occasionally works for the President as well.

Wait when has she stolen from her own workplace?
@@Neo-Metal17 i believe the chaos emeralds were being held in a government facility in sa2 and she stole em
@@welfareacquirer2046 She didn't work for GUN at that time though, she worked for the president, they were two completely different forces in SA2.
Fly in the Freedom is really underrated, its one of the gems of the franchise
Shadow has quite a few themes.
"I am... All Of Me" has 2 versions. Magni-Fi and Crush 40
"All Hail Shadow" has 2 versions. Magni-Fi and Crush 40
"Throw It All Away" from SA2
Also every single one of his level themes in SA2
Also "This Machine" because it's literally just Shadow singing about himself and his teammates
Big the Cat has a theme called Lazy Days it's a country/banjo sounding vibe.
Rouge is indeed a thief, a jewel thief specifically (and she clashes with Knuckles in this game because Knuckles’ whole shtick is protecting the Master Emerald and she wants it). Also she’s a government spy so that’s a thing
in the same update they added I'm Here - Revisited, they gave character themes to the main cast in Sonic Frontiers. up to you if you'll listen to them all in one video or separately
Maybe If... - Amy Mvt.
Blood Flow - Knuckles Mvt.
Another Passage - Tails Mvt.
Second Wind - Sonic Mvt.
Up
She said she wasn't going to do those yet
One of the BEST sonic characters with a perfect theme
Been listening to this for hours now I missed this song so much didn’t appreciate it when I was a kid.
Fly in the Freedom is another banger as usual
I think the next could be "Lazy Days (Livin' in Paradise)" Big the Cat's theme from Sonic Adventure 1, or "E.G.G.M.A.N." Dr. Eggman's theme from Sonic Adventure 2, both are also really good, just like the other character themes!

Don't spoil stuff for her bro
My favorite character theme from the Sonic Adventure games! This song grew on me HEAVILY in recent years.
6:56 I'd go too!
Thanks for accepting my request!
definitely one of my favorite SA2 themes, Rouge had a great introduction into the series with this banger
This is somehow the first time I've heard this entire song all the way through, this was amazing omg
OH SHIT!!! Been a while since I reacted to your content. You finally reacted to this.

When you listen to Eggman's theme, I also recommend listening to a fan remix made by the InGodWeRock channel
ofc she has the best music
This could be the first sonic cover you do perhaps

React to Shadows SA2 theme Throw It All Away!
Can ya listen to all hail shadow? The 06 and magna-fi versions
Video game companies that always had good music in my opinion Is
Capcom
Sega
Nintendo
Namco
Konami

It’s rouge ]ROOJ] is how you pronounce it
it has the Persona feeling, Sega owns Atlus, the guys that make Persona lol
This tells me that maybe I should really listen to the Persona OSTs.
