man,this guy is surely amazing.he had the perfect plan to ruin the world which not only was failproof,it also would have left nobody to stop him from becoming a part of solaris again,making him unstopable.......and it all was ruined by shadow kicking silvers head xD
His plan was ridiculous, he did everything he did purely to be a dick nothing could stop him from just going back to the point he split from Iblis and fusing with him there
Mephiles, one of the coldest villains in the sonic universe that killed sonic without sonic ever knowing he exist and basically destroyed the universe for a moment.
@@s0urcl0ut Well, I think he should be the Time Eater. 2 Eggman from different dimensions using a machine is bleh. Sonic 2006 was a horrible game, but at least make the best villain of Sonic
@@AmonHa01 yeah the game is a real paradox. What was arguably the deepest most convoluted plot is vastly overshadowed by specific gameplay failures and the occasional plothole/poorly conveyed message. It's like the project was taken over by an imbecil partway through: we get a devious, awe inspiring, maniacal villian with a comprehensive backstory, followed by a mind screw journey through time with furry fanservice, repetitive "mushroom kingdom style" princess rescues and a whole lot of Eggman vastly underestimating the forces he's dealing with (surprise surprise). Personally, I like to cover my eyes and pretend the Sonic storyline doesn't even exist and treat the game as a sequel to Shadow the hedgehog with Silver as a supporting character. I feel it significantly improves the quality of the game as it least appears Sega knew what it was doing in the other 2 storylines.
11:08-11:30 despite the fact that Shadow just meet Mephiles and doesn’t hold much of a grudge against and Mephiles does… THIS part literally was just so damn good, the music, Mephiles eyes and the story behind him…it’s just so satisfying to me
That moment when you realize Eggman is perfectly fine freeing monsters like Dark Gaea to further his plans... and runs the instant he realizes Mephiles is out of his prison.
True... but then... how would he know that? This is quite clearly the first time they've met, and even from what little time he had to converse in the past, I'm fairly certain the only one who heard him talk was Shadow.
Eggman may not have known Mephiles personally, but I know he did some research about the Solaris incident, if he knew that Iblis was inside of Elise, maybe he knew about Mephiles' conscious mind.
IIRC, Non-Crystalline Mephiles model also lacks eyelids, like, they are not present on it at all. It's also slightly shorter and more assymetrical than Shadow.
Either that or one day he found some kind of super weed and got really baked off that shit, which ended up making him a lot smarter and so then he had the knowledge of the past present and future to enact his evil plan 'n shit.😂😂🤣
Thats why Shadow will always be my favorite character in the Sonic Franchise, he has an actual purpose to fight for the humans, the same humans who shot Maria right in front of him, the same humans imprisoned him, the same humans who wanted to kill him and the same humans who would frame him and imprison for the iblis incident. He'll fight for them because its what Maria wouldve wanted him to do.
Without Mephiles, this story would've been a completely unsalvageable wreck, with no redeeming qualities. A villain is the most important part of any story, as they are the heroes of their own story. At least they got that much right...
Mephiles made it good by tearing them apart from the inside and twisting everyone's Idea that was the bad guy like he easily tricked silver in to thinking that sonic was bad his twisted ways of tricking was amazing
Any one else notice that his theme sounds a bit like the old chateau from Pokemon Diamond? ( Diamond came out in 2008, maybe they got inspired by Mephiles' theme for the creepy house, the only thing scary in Diamond... )
I mean Sonic Team pulled Classic Sonic out their ass for Forces when it made absolutely NO sense for him to be there. They can do the same for Mephiles, just say he exists outside of time and space and call it a day.
I just love the duality of Shadow and Mephiles. The shadow of shadow. Its very well written really, if you ignore the sometimes laughable delivery of the dialogue and just look at the subtitles.
say whatever you want about Sonic 06 , but Mephiles will go down as one of the most interesting and scariest villains in the franchise. too bad he never interacted with the main hero since he is the main villain of the game
Nah, Infinite doesn't have much to his name, unlike Mephiles, who brands the title of the first, and kinda only, character to kill Sonic. Plus, all Infinite does is knock out Sonic once, hint at the idea he's trying to kill him, sends him to null space, and fails. Mephiles convinced Silver, outright tells Shadow he will die at his hands, fought and almost defeated SHADOW, kill Sonic, releases Iblis,and completes his goal of becoming Solaris, the god of space and time.
Joel Chin-Sue Fair points but big differences include Infinite having a less complex and understandable backstory, he has illusionist powers, his plans was was less convoluted than using time travel shenanigans, and he’s not part god.
@@Blindcurve4 Infinite is basically just a cardboard cut out, and what sucks is that there was so much potential. He could of been even better than Mephiles, cooler design, arguably better voice, and he had more unique abilities But no... all we got was just some emo who IS. NOT. WEAK! It's a shame really, if Forces wasn't a cheesier Sonic Heroes it could've been a great story
@@tastypotato9272 i want infinite to come back but done better. Let him reflect from forces and then comeback someday with more strength, a better strategy, better motives, and overall improvement from the infinite we got. I'd love to see the phantom ruby summon the real mephiles. Infinite and Mephiles vs sonic and shadow. That would be awesome as long as they took the time to actually fix the errors and do it right
God, to think about it. There's a CRAZY amount of SA2 parallels with Mephiles. Like SA2 Shadow, he manipulated people to get his way; he was an experiment; he's fixated on revenge; arrogant; both treated badly by humanity in some form; apathetic to the world because his Maria (Iblis) was taken from him. He's SO much like how Shadow was in the past which is why I think Shadow's hesitation in his manipulations makes sense because they connect. He's basically seeing a past version of himself, but unlike Mephiles ever will, Shadow grew past that to be better. I seriously love Mephiles and Shadow's dynamic in this game because they're polar opposites yet so similar at the same time and it's written so well. Like even the OSTs have their motifs clashing!
Also, not only were both Mephiles and Shadow a result of science experiments, but they were also sealed away by humanity for years (Shadow in cryostasis for 50 years, and Mephiles sealed inside a scepter for 10). Also, yeah! I never noticed the slight parallels between Maria and Iblis (granted, Iblis was a part of Mephiles rather than a companion, but both were scarred and revenge driven over their losses regardless).
It helps that his og look was a replica of shadow, a good way to show shadow’s development and evolution from an edgy pretentious bastard to the strong willed and fan favorite character he is today
Also, relistening to All of me, "do you remember me, captured you and set you free. I am all, I am all of me." Originally meant to be a poke at the robotniks capturing/using him, and how each time they tried to use him, lost him. It now turns around to how he captures mephiles and then frees him, slowly being painted as more of the robotnik archetype, even so far as to being blamed as the perpetrator of the flames of destruction
I don't care if he's basically a recolored version of shadow. Make him have the voice of Dan green mixed with creepy eyes who's personality can be like the Devils stooge and he is one of the most terrifying and most impressive sonic villains.
Sonic 06 had an awesome story. I know Sonic 06 haters are gonna kill me for saying this but it did. No other Sonic game had such an extensive, mysterious, and suspenseful story. Sonic 06 had its problems but the story is not one of them (except for the ending).
+KingLink95 To me, what's wrong with the story is how repetitive it can be(with elise getting kidnapped again and again) and a couple plot holes. I feel like if Sega proof-read the story and edited it a bit, it would have been great.
+JonnyCars100 You are both right! The Story manages to make me curiuos, what will happen next. Something the Story of Boom will never do. But it needs some fixes.
dupin9 If only it could be rewritten. I don't want Sega to remake Sonic 06, but I do want to see maybe a rewrite by a fan and make it into a movie with SFM or something. There is a way to fix it up its plot holes- for I could see a way around it.
Shamus TheKnight Exactly! That's exactly how I see it! Sonic's story is basically rinse, wash, and repeat; constantly "saving" Princess Elise. If anything, I felt like this was more of a Shadow the Hedgehog 2 than a Sonic 06. He had better lines, story, comebacks, and most importantly, relevance.
Not exactly why people hate it, mostly the new girl Elise, the minor twitching in the animations, along with some minor audio issues, glitches, and possibility of the stupidity Elsie's father had about harnessing Solaris when technically Solaris is Satan.
Knock knock! IT'S KNUCKLES!!! And then Mephiles haunts him again, and then Dan Green gets kidnapped and becomes Mephiles' vessel. Knuckles and Amy will have to save his actor before he gets lost in the pure insanity Mephiles is spreading.
Toxic User took Sonic and a created character to beat infinite took Super Sonic Super shadow and Super Silver to take him down without the phantom ruby he is in the words of Shadow worthless.
Toxic User sorry man Infinite was so dumb for letting sonic live twice and that’s why he lost mephiles actually killed Sonic if it wasn’t for the chaos emeralds and the forbidden thing nobody will acknowledge Sonic would have never came back. Mephiles is way smarter than infinite he though everything up hundreds of years setting the events that unfolded.
By far, Mephiles is one of the most powerful and best villains, if it takes three supers to take him down, well, he's also the only villain who actually managed to kill Sonic, so SEGA. Bring him back, people get bored of only seeing Eggman...
I like Infinite, I just really hate his backstory and how it was so bland and boring. It’s one of the many things that Forces could’ve done better but I think Mephiles was great. It would be great if he came back because I think his story in 06 is way better than the mess that is Sonic Forces. When Infinite comes back, I hope he can add to they story as great as Mephiles did.
Impressive performance by Dan Green, bone-chilling theme, horrifying design, fascinating dialogue, and yet despite having a cliche goal of destroying everything just for the sake of destruction (despite being its main purpose) has a fantastic character. Mephiles truly is one of the best villains in Sonic Franchise
It is weird that a villan who is basically the satan of sonic universe appeard in what many consider to be the worst game in the series (even if Boom and Labirynth are much worse)
@@burn_out It's glitchy as all living hell to the point where most have been unable to even finish it, the boss battles(Siliver's mainly) are hard to get much control on, & the story has a romance subplot with Sonic & the human princess... Yeah no. Not many people loved that idea. Also said human princess is pretty much the 'damsil in distress' trope done to a T with little to no actual personality to develop her character.
@@holidaycat5160 You can finish the battle with Silver in less than a minute If you know how. Most of the glitches are just made by the player trying to do something when he isn't suppose to do that. I do agree with Elise, everyone hates Elise
Too bad Silver is only cameo in some Sonic games. He had the potential to become a great hero for the crew, yet the potential was wasted on this garbage game. Same with Mephiles' potential as a fantastic Sonic villain.
Actually why I'm here. Berdly from Deltarune animatic with the Sonic 06 dub as the audio. Then I see the original fandub video. Then I'm like "I've never actually played Sonic 06 all the way, what were the actual lines?" Now I'm here.
sometimes i wish i could be more than... just an accessory to these women, but unfortunately, as a gamer i don't get respect. well, i'm not a gamer! maybe they'll respect me? ...that just makes you a beta cuck
@@angelsartandgaming mephiles is the most evil sonic villain as he surpassed all the villains that came after him because he wanted to destroy all of reality, time, and space and has no desire of ruling the world like Eggman.
Shadow's story totally makes up for the Shadow the Hedgehog game disaster! Shadow's storyline was crazy interesting; I wish they had made this game better and had it be the first Shadow the Hedgehog game instead!
When you think about it, this wasn't the story of Silver, Elise, or Sonic. This was the story of Mephiles, the most powerful antagonist in the Sonic series. Mephiles, after a decade of being trapped in the Spectre of Darkness is free...and ready to become Solaris again. After being released by Shadow, he immediately returns the gift of being trapped in a artifact for 10 years by having him meet Iblis. Then manages to convince Silver and Blaze to kill Sonic. Then fights and flees from Shadow and E-123 Omega. Then finds Chaos Emeralds only to engage in battle against Shadow, E-123 Omega, and Rouge. Finally, after a swift retreat finds one more Emerald and uses it to kill Sonic and free Iblis to reunite once more to be Solaris.
@@Alejandro333777 even more so considering mephiles probably only showed shadow his future because it was also shadows past,making it even more impactful. however,since shadow a.does not care since he knows that his purpose never was to seek revenge and b.has seen that people can also do right things(he probably heared of the president giving gerald his own day of honor because of what happened 50 years ago being recognised as a grave misjudgement) he decides that the right choice is to change that future instead of giving into mephiles manipulation
11:08-11:30 I noticed a nice and simple piece of symbolism and foreshadowing here: Mephiles was looking at Shadow but between them was fire, Mephiles could also be seen looking at the fire, as if he needed it this fire desperately; the flame could be symbolic for Iblis, as Mephiles is trying to merge himself with Iblis. As Shadow and Mephiles stare through the flame, the flame grows and in the camera shot it looks that Mephiles and the flame are getting closer. This could foreshadow that Mephiles is getting closer to becoming one with Iblis. Nearing the end of the game, Mephiles and Iblis eventually do become whole as Solaris.
11:08 I love how Shadow turns around and Mephiles rises up from out of nowhere, watching him from wherever he is and ensuring that his plan is successful. Goddamn, Mephiles is a masterpiece of a character in Sonic 06, I wished they would bring him back but they have no intention to.
I wish they would remake this game! When I say remake, I dont mean with a modified story, I mean with new 3D Models! Imagine seeing cutscenes the way we can make them now!
Personally, I enjoyed Sonic 06 (the Internet just likes to overexaggerate). And I think there were many in the Comments that liked it as well. So it being your Favorite isn't out of Question.
I gotta say, Sega did a pretty decent job with the cut-scenes for Sonic '06. (Except for the body movement. They looked like as if they were recorded with a motion camera. .3.)
I just realized that there are two versions of Mephiles in the present-the temporally correct version that was just released and sent Shadow into the future, and the future version that had gone back to ensure he can fuse with Iblis and become Solaris again. That makes me wonder what the present Mephiles was doing in Shadow's Story and the Last Story while the future Mephiles was active, and if he was aware of this
That reminds me of a Theory I heard during BrainScratchComms' Sonic 06 Playthrough. Though in my Opinion, I think we only saw one Mephiles the whole Time. BUT your Statement, that there are two Mephiles' is still correct, which lets me assume that Future Mephiles must be sealed somewhere in the Future. (If Future Mephiles was free, he would have done something before the Present Mephiles was released. Maybe he would have fused already, since his Future Iblis was free the whole Time...so basically we could have gotten another Quest, where Mephiles tries to free his Futureself so F-Mephiles can fuse in his Place instead of trying to release Present Iblis). Before your Comment I didn't even thought about that Possibilty.
John Porteous there is a 3rd version of mephiles that slipped through the cracks of time and space. And you have eggman to blame for that. This peice of mephiles from the cracks of time and space is called the time eater.
Heh heh heh. One might say there was only one version of Mephiles. The past reawakened in the present, and went to the future, hopping between the present and the future to cause some true chaos. Some say that The Present and The Future combined, after all...Darkness is meant to join and encompass all, it is the beginning and what some might call the (brief) ending. This character has had, a lot of possibilities speculated on the subject of him, over the years; frankly the whole time travel bit is confusing, unless you think along a certain train of thought.
sonic is a good game but it's in my opinion so I'm not going out to play the games because of my iPhone game and the app crashes very very well I have used this game and it was a great app and it is a great app
@@wisccheese9257 No he wont, Mephiles is an identity Solaris took when the black shadow meaning Mephiles got a form thanks to Shadow The Hedgehog and he only exists, the ending showed the festival celebrating Solaris and Iblis and Mephiles no longer exist, just in Sonic's memory.
@@wisccheese9257 He’s back in sonic forces speedbattle (mobile game) and he was supposed to be one of the illusions in sonic forces in the original script.
I would've preferred Mephiles turning out to be Shadow's darkside that he somehow expelled from his being following the fight with the Final Hazard from SA2, and somehow ended up sealed in the Scepter of Darkness, and upon being released set out to destroy Shadow not only out of vengeance for tossing away his evil nature upon remembering his true promise to Maria, but also to prove he was the strongest of the two halves.
actually,that makes me want to come up with an interessting direction for the character: mephiles as just the matter that we saw in the flashback would be an emotionless mind. no form,no feelings,no memories(obviously. it is technicly a new being). when merging with shadows dark side,that side of shadow is actually the more important part of the mix. he is the real ultimate lifeform,he wants to seek revenge on humanity,not for project solaris,but for gunning down maria. he wants to sway shadow to the dark side,but also wants revenge on him for refusing him in shadow the hedgehog(in this timeline,the darkside of that game never happened and shadow went with being a hero afterall) and for stopping the ark in sa2. he wants to destory this world and wants to create a new one as a newly fused solaris.
I have to admit I like the general idea behind Mephiles, and his second form's design is pretty good. However, not to many people's surprise, the story's writing ruins it. Sure, he manipulates people into doing what he wants and eventually achieves what he was going for. Now that's really great and all... but the problem is though, he didn't have to do any manipulating in order to reach his goals. He tries to seduce Shadow to the dark side... because that's what bad guys do I guess, I don't see how Shadow's help would have amounted to much. He tries to manipulate Silver into killing Sonic... even though he easily pulls that off later in mere seconds. Mephiles could've won right away with all those ridiculously strong powers of his. It really sucks too, because there's an easy fix to this... nerfing Mephiles. If Mephiles' abilities were cut down to immortality and time travel alone, it would have justified every bit of manipulation he does because he wouldn't have the raw power required to kill Sonic by himself. Him trying to get powerful characters like Shadow and Silver on board with him would make perfect sense. Plus it would make him a perfect foil to Iblis, him being the "brains" and Iblis the "brawn". ...Too bad that wouldn't fix everything else about the story though. :/
+Stegomasaurus Well, some Actions make more sense, if you look at them from a different Perspective. 1. If he could convince Shadow to switch to his side, Mephiles wouldn't have to deal with him and could instead focus on collecting Emeralds. 2. Mephiles wouldn't accomplish anything, if he killed Sonic at the Beginning, because Elise didn't have any Feelings for Sonic at that Point. --> She wouldn't cry because of it (By the way: A new Version of 06 should mention, that only Tears caused by Emotions, release Ibliss, just saying). And I guess, that he chooses Silver to do the Job instead, because of the first Fight against Iblis. --> He knew, that Silver would need a long time to kill Sonic. All the Events (in the meantime) would bring Sonic and Elise closer together, so when Silver would finally be able to kill Sonic, Elise would release Tears, that can free Iblis. 1.+2. focused on Mephiles being a Tactician but there is one other Perspective. 3. Even if Mephiles is pure Darkness, he is still showing Emotions, so the Reason he takes his Time are his Feelings. --> He might enjoy the Moments, want to let People suffer longer and isn't feeling like bringing Doomsday so early, or else he loses his Enjoyment. Maybe he actually is the Type of Person, who is more interessted in the Way to the Goal, than the Goal itself (at some Points). But this goes to much into the psychological Direction and this is only a quick Guess on my Side anyway. ...Yeah I might be thinking too much about that, nerfing Mephiles woud make some Things more easier to write and would create some other Cutscenes, which aren't possible with the Mephiles we have.
Not exactly seduction, more of attempting to lure him with shadow's own future or supposed future, I kinda thought the immortality would of kepted mephiles alive but since he was mostly the mind and not most of the strength to free himself to prevent himself from dying. He's a destructive little baby
Sonic 06 sucked. They brought such an awesome villain, but the game was terrible. I wish Mephiles will play a much larger role soon, possibly making a comeback.
I personally loved the game. is it the best, not even close but it was still fun and did it's job of changing how we view Sonic. Honestly I wish they would just remake this game without its problems. They could make it like an apology to the fans for rushing it so much. This game was amazing but could have been so much better without its glitches and the horrid loading screen.
+Mastah Playah Imagine a Sonic Adventure like game were you could play as a villain like Mephiles, but unlike Sonic Adventure 2, Mephiles stays a villain the entire time. Like when you beat the final boss, you unlock the villain and can have an evil mode dedicated to just wrecking havoc on the heroes...And discover what the villain does outside of boss battles and cut scenes...
Idc if the game sucked or not, as a Sonic fan I still enjoyed it. I really hope they will make a new Sonic game in the future, where Mephiles once again is the villain. Great video.
Well it certainly was entertaining, or else I wouldn't have completed it to 100% with the DLCs. Many People like Mephiles so SEGA should consider giving him another Chance.
Mephiles was the darkest and most evil sonic villain as he wanted to destroy all of reality, time and space. And he surpassed even black doom. Plus Eggman wanted to rule but not destroy everything like mephiles did.
+Gerhard H. Than how does rouge know? I'm pretty sure if the kind of your land died they will find out the cause. And if the present in this game is 2006, then this is in 1996 and no information like this is secret (idk if it is tho)
She works for GUN. You mean "King" right ? They People of Soleanna have heard about the Accident, but I don't think, that they were informed about all the Details [Example: the ARK Incident wasn't completly known for 50 Years].
Well, the Question "Blue Hedgehog ?" shows us, that it rings a Bell at least, but she doesn't know anything beyond that in this Game. This Question is a bit tough, since Sonic 06 was supposed to be a Reboot. So: Considering that, I would call it a little Easter Egg and nothing more.
yeah,the timeline is out of order here. "blue hedgehog" is actually "naive hedgehog" in japanese. it just uses the same word as blue to trick silver and the players. the translator got tricked too tho and thus,that is technicly a mistranslation(i mean,it would have been weird af if silver suddenly said "you mean that naive hedgehog?",but oh well. languagebarriers.) blaze was born and grew up in crisis city with powers linked to iblis....somehow(was it ever explained how she has firepowers?),then she seals iblis inside herself and gets her existance rewritten to be in the soldimension. with the timeline resetting,history was changed to make sence of her being there and thus,she was "retroactively reborn"(i have no better term for it) as princess of that dimension. and because of the firepowers she has from iblis,she became the guardian of the solemeralds or something. i never actually played rush and rivals,i just heared that the games exist and eggman nega from the future stuff
@@lpfan4491 Shiro Maekawa (main scriptwriter of SA2, StH, 06) literally confirmed this. When Blaze sealed herself in another dimension, it was Sol dimension. However, Takashi Iizuka refutes this. In general, they themselves do not know the exact answer.

Nov 5062 Like I said, Sonic 06 was a horrible game thanks to the many gameplay errors SEGA was too lazy to fix and the story was confusing for younger people (Jesus I sound like a game reviewer) but Mephiles was one of the few things that gave the game something worthwhile to talk about. Because unlike other Sonic villains in either the games or comics, who wanted to either wanted to destroy the world in revenge or conquer it, Mephiles wanted to destroy reality all because he wanted to.
Wow such wasted potential, Mephiles was a pretty cool Pure Evil Villain: His Motives are simple and easy to understand, he just wants to reunite with his other half and destroy everything. He enjoys causing suffering to others. While he seems to have the power to enact his goals by himself he seems to prefer the angle of manipulating others to do his dirty work for him. He has an interesting duality with Shadow that brings out the best in everyone's favorite Edge-hog. And he's just plain Charismatic as hell in a way that you love to hate, like you don't want him to win but you're excited to see just how bad he is.
Mephiles the dark voiced by Dan Green of Sonic 06 for Xbox 360 and PS3 - is one of the best and cold hearted, curel manipulated villains in the worst game of the mid 2000's era and it's just too bad that all the events were erased as it never even happened before it occurred.
THE SUPREME DALEK Ah, same here! I felt lije Silver or Blaze should have asked "then why are you in this ruined timeline when you can escape easily!?" XD
The main reason I love 06, Shadow and Mephalis’ story is just great and suprisingly well written with all the details about each characters different sequence of events
The thing that I find so eerie yet compelling about Mephiles are the moments where he stops speaking. The way he pauses is so fucking unnatural, yet so right. He's like a predator when his body "shuts down." Everything about him freezes and seems to stop working, almost like he's working up the power inwardly to strike. That's the predator part, but his eyes tell a completely different story. When Mephiles stops and just blankly stares, it's like all of that predatory urge to kill gets petrified. It feels like there's an internal dialogue every time he pauses like this. He's almost lustfully fantasizing about the sinister ways he'll use his words next. There's never a pounce despite how sinister and calculating he is, again, the unnatural part of this whole "predator stalking prey" thing. And yet to this day no villain in the Sonic series can match the amount of damage he's done. It's just such an odd choice that makes him feel like he doesn't even belong in this game. Like, when Mephiles does actually move and talk with other characters, he starts up like an actor preparing to speak his lines. It's kinda great.
PLEASE Sega, let him come back, you can give him more story development, change his look (let it be a mix of Shadow and Infinite), and you can give him the Phantom Ruby to be a little more powerful, PLEASE Sega!
_Shadow:_ "Why are you here? Did you ruin this world?" _Mephiles:_ "The answer's yes, and no." *So, basically:* _S:_ Did you ruin this world? _M:_ no. _S:_ Why are you here? M: yes.
I know it's a video game and all, but that stare at 7:50 just give me the chills! I underestimated Mephiles - he's the best villain in the Sonic series!
Mephiles was such a great villain, honestly. I'd even dare say he was the best Sonic villain. He was very proactive, cold, and manipulative. Infinite isn't shit compared to him.
It is a shame that Mephiles was not shown after this game. One minute he is there, the next, it is like he never existed in the first place after this.
P.S. If your stuck on the time line and all of this then I recommend that you see:The Story Of Silver, it really tells half the story here and then THIS will make much more sense.
man,this guy is surely amazing.he had the perfect plan to ruin the world which not only was failproof,it also would have left nobody to stop him from becoming a part of solaris again,making him unstopable.......and it all was ruined by shadow kicking silvers head xD

@@AmonHa01 yeah the game is a real paradox. What was arguably the deepest most convoluted plot is vastly overshadowed by specific gameplay failures and the occasional plothole/poorly conveyed message.

Personally, I like to cover my eyes and pretend the Sonic storyline doesn't even exist and treat the game as a sequel to Shadow the hedgehog with Silver as a supporting character. I feel it significantly improves the quality of the game as it least appears Sega knew what it was doing in the other 2 storylines.
The whole Mephiles and Shadow story was worthy of a separate game.

That moment when you realize Eggman is perfectly fine freeing monsters like Dark Gaea to further his plans... and runs the instant he realizes Mephiles is out of his prison.
Xeranad Mephiles has more of a mind of his own and is intellectually more dangerous.
True... but then... how would he know that? This is quite clearly the first time they've met, and even from what little time he had to converse in the past, I'm fairly certain the only one who heard him talk was Shadow.
Eggman may not have known Mephiles personally, but I know he did some research about the Solaris incident, if he knew that Iblis was inside of Elise, maybe he knew about Mephiles' conscious mind.
eggman, normally: yeah sure i'll release cthuhlu
eggman, when meph gets released: OH GOD! OH GOD IT'S HIM! IT'S SATAN!
Xeranad
Yeah.....
reason why mephiles eyes are red: he never closed his eyes
Well he is Darkness so this Body doesn't need any normal Functions.
--> It's just a Design Choice.
IIRC, Non-Crystalline Mephiles model also lacks eyelids, like, they are not present on it at all. It's also slightly shorter and more assymetrical than Shadow.
He doesn't even have a nose in his special form
@@LetsHelpMarkus R/woosh
Either that or one day he found some kind of super weed and got really baked off that shit, which ended up making him a lot smarter and so then he had the knowledge of the past present and future to enact his evil plan 'n shit.😂😂🤣
Wrongfully imprisoned for years and still fights for humanity...Shadow is the real MVP...
Alex Bodden Wrong MOST VALUABLE HEDGEHOG!
Alex Bodden
Yeah..
He promissed to Maria
Thats why Shadow will always be my favorite character in the Sonic Franchise, he has an actual purpose to fight for the humans, the same humans who shot Maria right in front of him, the same humans imprisoned him, the same humans who wanted to kill him and the same humans who would frame him and imprison for the iblis incident. He'll fight for them because its what Maria wouldve wanted him to do.
He's the best one to fight against 2nd phase solaris
Without Mephiles, this story would've been a completely unsalvageable wreck, with no redeeming qualities.
A villain is the most important part of any story, as they are the heroes of their own story.
At least they got that much right...
+Aidan Keogh That... and the music...
Mephiles made it good by tearing them apart from the inside and twisting everyone's Idea that was the bad guy like he easily tricked silver in to thinking that sonic was bad his twisted ways of tricking was amazing
Yeah, The Flash Season 3 basically ripped the main villain off from Mephiles: Savitar. This type of villain is kinda cliché now.
Jason Nguyen
What the hell are you talking about? Savitar existed long before Mephiles in the comics.
Mephiles, Shadow, and Silver were the best characters in the story imo.... so like 1/4
His theme is still being used in creepypasta readings...
Any one else notice that his theme sounds a bit like the old chateau from Pokemon Diamond? ( Diamond came out in 2008, maybe they got inspired by Mephiles' theme for the creepy house, the only thing scary in Diamond... )
I can -see- hear why. IT IS SO CREEPY! 0_0
I love your pfp
Everyone wants Mephiles to make a comeback... I want BOTH Mephiles and Iblis to make a comeback.
Too bad nobody but Sonic remembers the events and only Solaris exists now.
And Silver in my opinion, he deserves a better story with better direction so that he can redeem himself
@@heltongomez8865 silver returned in generations and forces but u can't play as him
Too bad they got removed from existence. Maybe they'll return through some paradox bs or something
I mean Sonic Team pulled Classic Sonic out their ass for Forces when it made absolutely NO sense for him to be there.
They can do the same for Mephiles, just say he exists outside of time and space and call it a day.
I just love the duality of Shadow and Mephiles. The shadow of shadow. Its very well written really, if you ignore the sometimes laughable delivery of the dialogue and just look at the subtitles.
the delivery is laughable like they don't exactly do the acting part of the job "voice acting"
Say what you will, but Dan Green is an amazing voice actor. Mephiles' laugh alone is proof of his excellent casting.
@@seematahir5970 yes I must say Dan Greens voice fits the character perfectly
say whatever you want about Sonic 06 , but Mephiles will go down as one of the most interesting and scariest villains in the franchise. too bad he never interacted with the main hero since he is the main villain of the game
Minor spoilers
Seems like (According to the leaks) Infinite is on par with Mephiles for being the scariest villain as well.
Mr AO31 at first I didn't know anything about this Guy and now he blew my freaking mind away
Meh. I think Mephiles not interacting with Sonic is perfect. Made him killing him better. In my opinion anyway
I think its better with them not interacting... because it messes with Sonic that much more if he never really got meet who was f*cking with him
No he did interact with sonic he killed sonic!
The best villain in Sonic history.
Appears in one game with some of the worst gameplay in the series.
It's unfair
Lunacy
And now Infinite took that place :D
Nah, Infinite doesn't have much to his name, unlike Mephiles, who brands the title of the first, and kinda only, character to kill Sonic. Plus, all Infinite does is knock out Sonic once, hint at the idea he's trying to kill him, sends him to null space, and fails. Mephiles convinced Silver, outright tells Shadow he will die at his hands, fought and almost defeated SHADOW, kill Sonic, releases Iblis,and completes his goal of becoming Solaris, the god of space and time.
@Joel Chin-Sue
The guy looks and attacks nowhere near as mephiles, what are you talking about?
Joel Chin-Sue
Fair points but big differences include Infinite having a less complex and understandable backstory, he has illusionist powers, his plans was was less convoluted than using time travel shenanigans, and he’s not part god.
Sonic 06's story kinda makes more sense when you follow it from Mephile's point of view.
Sorta helps Silver's story to
Mephiles has without a doubt earned the rank of most epic Sonic villain ever!
You misspelled infinite
@@Blindcurve4 Infinite is basically just a cardboard cut out, and what sucks is that there was so much potential. He could of been even better than Mephiles, cooler design, arguably better voice, and he had more unique abilities
But no... all we got was just some emo who IS. NOT. WEAK! It's a shame really, if Forces wasn't a cheesier Sonic Heroes it could've been a great story
@@tastypotato9272 Was that a slight dig at Sonic Heroes!?
@@tastypotato9272 i want infinite to come back but done better. Let him reflect from forces and then comeback someday with more strength, a better strategy, better motives, and overall improvement from the infinite we got. I'd love to see the phantom ruby summon the real mephiles. Infinite and Mephiles vs sonic and shadow. That would be awesome as long as they took the time to actually fix the errors and do it right
He reminds me of grogar
Mephiles,you were the only one who managed to KILL sonic.
You make me tremble in fear.
As a kid, that was the only scene I ever saw him in. Whenever he took out Sonic.
Same here Mephiles even send shivers down my spine especially when he killed Sonic. 😥
God, to think about it. There's a CRAZY amount of SA2 parallels with Mephiles. Like SA2 Shadow, he manipulated people to get his way; he was an experiment; he's fixated on revenge; arrogant; both treated badly by humanity in some form; apathetic to the world because his Maria (Iblis) was taken from him. He's SO much like how Shadow was in the past which is why I think Shadow's hesitation in his manipulations makes sense because they connect. He's basically seeing a past version of himself, but unlike Mephiles ever will, Shadow grew past that to be better. I seriously love Mephiles and Shadow's dynamic in this game because they're polar opposites yet so similar at the same time and it's written so well. Like even the OSTs have their motifs clashing!
Also, not only were both Mephiles and Shadow a result of science experiments, but they were also sealed away by humanity for years (Shadow in cryostasis for 50 years, and Mephiles sealed inside a scepter for 10).
Also, yeah! I never noticed the slight parallels between Maria and Iblis (granted, Iblis was a part of Mephiles rather than a companion, but both were scarred and revenge driven over their losses regardless).
It helps that his og look was a replica of shadow, a good way to show shadow’s development and evolution from an edgy pretentious bastard to the strong willed and fan favorite character he is today
Basically Mephiles is what would have happened if Amy didn't convince Shadow to see through the deceptions of evil.
Also, relistening to All of me, "do you remember me, captured you and set you free. I am all, I am all of me." Originally meant to be a poke at the robotniks capturing/using him, and how each time they tried to use him, lost him. It now turns around to how he captures mephiles and then frees him, slowly being painted as more of the robotnik archetype, even so far as to being blamed as the perpetrator of the flames of destruction
i think they should remake sonic 06
Nah, just call it "Sonic Adventure 3" or "Shadow the Hedgehog 2" because Sonic doesn't play a major role in the story.
Jason Nguyen Yeah it seemed Sonic was never filled in on mephilis.
Yeah Sonic almost seemed like a nobody in terms of plot compared to Silver and Shadow
Everything about Sonic 06 needs to be reworked. The game had the potential to be the greatest Sonic game ever made and they fucked it up so badly.
Couldn't have put it better any other way.
I don't care if he's basically a recolored version of shadow. Make him have the voice of Dan green mixed with creepy eyes who's personality can be like the Devils stooge and he is one of the most terrifying and most impressive sonic villains.
I'd agree, Mephiles is one of the greatest Sonic Villians. Sucks, that he got stuck in a poor game.
Mephiles is my favorite villain (Besides Eclipse and Scourge), I wish he got put in a better game as well.
Bro this guy not make this game bro
I have proof that Arnold Schwarzenegger should voice Mephiles
Who do you think is the best VA? Jason Griffith or Dan Green?
Sonic 06 had an awesome story. I know Sonic 06 haters are gonna kill me for saying this but it did. No other Sonic game had such an extensive, mysterious, and suspenseful story. Sonic 06 had its problems but the story is not one of them (except for the ending).
+KingLink95 To me, what's wrong with the story is how repetitive it can be(with elise getting kidnapped again and again) and a couple plot holes. I feel like if Sega proof-read the story and edited it a bit, it would have been great.
+JonnyCars100 You are both right! The Story manages to make me curiuos, what will happen next. Something the Story of Boom will never do. But it needs some fixes.
dupin9 If only it could be rewritten. I don't want Sega to remake Sonic 06, but I do want to see maybe a rewrite by a fan and make it into a movie with SFM or something. There is a way to fix it up its plot holes- for I could see a way around it.
Shamus TheKnight Exactly! That's exactly how I see it! Sonic's story is basically rinse, wash, and repeat; constantly "saving" Princess Elise. If anything, I felt like this was more of a Shadow the Hedgehog 2 than a Sonic 06. He had better lines, story, comebacks, and most importantly, relevance.
Not exactly why people hate it, mostly the new girl Elise, the minor twitching in the animations, along with some minor audio issues, glitches, and possibility of the stupidity Elsie's father had about harnessing Solaris when technically Solaris is Satan.
Only 2 minutes in and I already learned something: How to pronounce Mephiles correctly.
I pronounced his name as “Me-files”
@Emma Sheehy Do you remember where you found the fanfic? It's okay if you don't, I'm just curious.
This is Emma Sheehy (I’m on another account). I think it was on Wat Pad or An Archive of our Own. I don’t really remember.

Shadow: "Did you destroy this world?"
Mephiles, Shadow's shadow: "Well, yes, but actually, no."
Iblis: “Did you eat all the cookies?!”
Mephiles: “The answer is yes... and no.”

It’s pretty much yes.
I find it interesting that Shadow's Shadow is actually quite tech-savvy.

It's a time-traveling being. Mephiles has all the time in the world to surf the internet. Literally.
When you think about it, Mephiles is Sonic’s grandshadow
Shadow is Sonic’s shadow and Mephiles is Shadow’s shadow
Wait is Mephiles voiced by Dan Green? Well if so...
PLOT TWIST THE STUPID KNUCKLES WAS SECRETLY MEPHILES THIS ENTIRE TIME.
Feel the AWESOME wrath of DAN GREEN!
Surprise, Mephiles is actually season 0 Yami.
Knuckles, to Sonic and Shadow, with his mouth disappearing and color scheme changing: *"AH HA HA HA HA! Oh, how ironic fate can be."*
Knock knock! IT'S KNUCKLES!!!
And then Mephiles haunts him again, and then Dan Green gets kidnapped and becomes Mephiles' vessel. Knuckles and Amy will have to save his actor before he gets lost in the pure insanity Mephiles is spreading.
Yeah... Imagine my Yu-Gi-Oh loving shock.
Mephiles is the best Sonic villain Evil Smart Powerful Cool voice and he was able to do many things
I really hope this is what Infinite becomes, instead of just a edgy anti-villain.
Plus he was the only one that was able to kill Sonic
Toxic User mephiles is better than infinite for sure
Toxic User took Sonic and a created character to beat infinite took Super Sonic Super shadow and Super Silver to take him down without the phantom ruby he is in the words of Shadow worthless.
Toxic User sorry man Infinite was so dumb for letting sonic live twice and that’s why he lost mephiles actually killed Sonic if it wasn’t for the chaos emeralds and the forbidden thing nobody will acknowledge Sonic would have never came back. Mephiles is way smarter than infinite he though everything up hundreds of years setting the events that unfolded.
By far, Mephiles is one of the most powerful and best villains, if it takes three supers to take him down, well, he's also the only villain who actually managed to kill Sonic, so SEGA. Bring him back, people get bored of only seeing Eggman...
They will bring Infinite back, not this moron.
To hell with Infinite they need to bring Mephiles back
I like Infinite, I just really hate his backstory and how it was so bland and boring. It’s one of the many things that Forces could’ve done better but I think Mephiles was great. It would be great if he came back because I think his story in 06 is way better than the mess that is Sonic Forces. When Infinite comes back, I hope he can add to they story as great as Mephiles did.
@@striker8414 I agree 06 storyline got me into Sonic as a whole
@@striker8414 I do like infinite as well, but he is just cocky most of the time, while mephiles was smart.
Impressive performance by Dan Green, bone-chilling theme, horrifying design, fascinating dialogue, and yet despite having a cliche goal of destroying everything just for the sake of destruction (despite being its main purpose) has a fantastic character.
Mephiles truly is one of the best villains in Sonic Franchise

I was like 9 or 10 years old when i first played this game on PS3. Can somebody explain why this game is considered to be bad?
@@burn_out It's glitchy as all living hell to the point where most have been unable to even finish it, the boss battles(Siliver's mainly) are hard to get much control on, & the story has a romance subplot with Sonic & the human princess... Yeah no. Not many people loved that idea. Also said human princess is pretty much the 'damsil in distress' trope done to a T with little to no actual personality to develop her character.
Ironic isn't it
@@holidaycat5160 You can finish the battle with Silver in less than a minute If you know how. Most of the glitches are just made by the player trying to do something when he isn't suppose to do that.
I do agree with Elise, everyone hates Elise
Too bad Silver is only cameo in some Sonic games. He had the potential to become a great hero for the crew, yet the potential was wasted on this garbage game. Same with Mephiles' potential as a fantastic Sonic villain.
i'd say Silver's best appearance was in '06. his portrayal in every other sonic game he appears in is abysmal.
Silver and Mephiles are such underutilized and unique characters. Granted they're not 100% original but there were some good ideas.
@@Busshhu What about Generations? His rival battle there was actually fun if you know what to do.
@@LowIntSpecimen true, but I'm talking about his presence in the game overall. Sonic generations was a fun game, but storywise it wasn't great.

@@angelsartandgaming mephiles is the most evil sonic villain as he surpassed all the villains that came after him because he wanted to destroy all of reality, time, and space and has no desire of ruling the world like Eggman.
@@jupiterpoopiter as you can see, i trapped sonic into the hell dimension because he disrespected gamers.
Shadow's story totally makes up for the Shadow the Hedgehog game disaster! Shadow's storyline was crazy interesting; I wish they had made this game better and had it be the first Shadow the Hedgehog game instead!
XilverXoul I think knowing shadows back story before this actually makes it better because if shadows duality of choosing which side he's really on
When you think about it, this wasn't the story of Silver, Elise, or Sonic. This was the story of Mephiles, the most powerful antagonist in the Sonic series. Mephiles, after a decade of being trapped in the Spectre of Darkness is free...and ready to become Solaris again. After being released by Shadow, he immediately returns the gift of being trapped in a artifact for 10 years by having him meet Iblis. Then manages to convince Silver and Blaze to kill Sonic. Then fights and flees from Shadow and E-123 Omega. Then finds Chaos Emeralds only to engage in battle against Shadow, E-123 Omega, and Rouge. Finally, after a swift retreat finds one more Emerald and uses it to kill Sonic and free Iblis to reunite once more to be Solaris.
@@Alejandro333777 even more so considering mephiles probably only showed shadow his future because it was also shadows past,making it even
more impactful. however,since shadow
a.does not care since he knows that his purpose never was to seek revenge
and b.has seen that people can also do right things(he probably heared of the president giving gerald his own day of honor
because of what happened 50 years ago being recognised as a grave misjudgement)
he decides that the right choice is to change that future instead of giving into mephiles manipulation
XilverXoul They were rushed completely when making this game
loved how you put it all in order
+azrael micheal lane I'm glad, that you liked it.
11:08-11:30 I noticed a nice and simple piece of symbolism and foreshadowing here:
Mephiles was looking at Shadow but between them was fire, Mephiles could also be seen looking at the fire, as if he needed it this fire desperately; the flame could be symbolic for Iblis, as Mephiles is trying to merge himself with Iblis.
As Shadow and Mephiles stare through the flame, the flame grows and in the camera shot it looks that Mephiles and the flame are getting closer. This could foreshadow that Mephiles is getting closer to becoming one with Iblis. Nearing the end of the game, Mephiles and Iblis eventually do become whole as Solaris.
Mephiles will always be one of my favorite villains. I’d love to see Mephiles return but his VA *MUST* be Dan Green. He sounds amazing as Mephiles.
13:00 - 13:32 Easily one of the best moments in the sonic franchise.

The voice acting wasnt too bad. But if they never changed the voice actors in 04/05 I think it would have been so much better.
I think shadows voice isnt bad at all. At least compared to generations.
11:08
I love how Shadow turns around and Mephiles rises up from out of nowhere, watching him from wherever he is and ensuring that his plan is successful. Goddamn, Mephiles is a masterpiece of a character in Sonic 06, I wished they would bring him back but they have no intention to.
mephiles was originally going to be a phantom ruby clone in forces. they probably only dont bring him back because they are still afraid of the past
@@lpfan4491 he still probably wouldn't have gotten a boss fight, considering shadow and chaos didn't get one

Now I know I'm gonna get a CRAP TON of hate for this. But Sonic 06 was my FAVORITE Sonic game... lol. Mephiles is my favorite character.
Personally, I enjoyed Sonic 06 (the Internet just likes to overexaggerate).
And I think there were many in the Comments that liked it as well.
So it being your Favorite isn't out of Question.
It's my favorite too
Storm Rocx I have a kid from school who liked it because he manipulated the glitches to play it.
Storm Rocx Mephiles needs to return.
I’m not gonna judge you. It’s one of my favorites too. There are a few things that should be changed in this game, but it was fun nonetheless.
I gotta say, Sega did a pretty decent job with the cut-scenes for Sonic '06. (Except for the body movement. They looked like as if they were recorded with a motion camera. .3.)
that's the thing with the motion camera thing, the entire thing was done in motion capture
It does move well with Mephiles, in my opinion.
I just realized that there are two versions of Mephiles in the present-the temporally correct version that was just released and sent Shadow into the future, and the future version that had gone back to ensure he can fuse with Iblis and become Solaris again. That makes me wonder what the present Mephiles was doing in Shadow's Story and the Last Story while the future Mephiles was active, and if he was aware of this
That reminds me of a Theory I heard during BrainScratchComms' Sonic 06 Playthrough. Though in my Opinion, I think we only saw one Mephiles the whole Time. BUT your Statement, that there are two Mephiles' is still correct, which lets me assume that Future Mephiles must be sealed somewhere in the Future. (If Future Mephiles was free, he would have done something before the Present Mephiles was released. Maybe he would have fused already, since his Future Iblis was free the whole Time...so basically we could have gotten another Quest, where Mephiles tries to free his Futureself so F-Mephiles can fuse in his Place instead of trying to release Present Iblis).
Before your Comment I didn't even thought about that Possibilty.
John Porteous there is a 3rd version of mephiles that slipped through the cracks of time and space. And you have eggman to blame for that. This peice of mephiles from the cracks of time and space is called the time eater.
actually,i thought about it.present mephiles and future mephiles are probably the same,since mephiles traveled to the future too
Heh heh heh. One might say there was only one version of Mephiles. The past reawakened in the present, and went to the future, hopping between the present and the future to cause some true chaos. Some say that The Present and The Future combined, after all...Darkness is meant to join and encompass all, it is the beginning and what some might call the (brief) ending. This character has had, a lot of possibilities speculated on the subject of him, over the years; frankly the whole time travel bit is confusing, unless you think along a certain train of thought.
because he absorbs shadow's shadow, being reborn in his image.
13:18 one of the best sonic transformations
XgGamergX it's instant and doesn't need chaos emeralds to activate,best transformation indeed
We all know that the Excalibur Sonic was the best transformation.

He die in this game so he won't come back
He will
@@wisccheese9257 No he wont, Mephiles is an identity Solaris took when the black shadow meaning Mephiles got a form thanks to Shadow The Hedgehog and he only exists, the ending showed the festival celebrating Solaris and Iblis and Mephiles no longer exist, just in Sonic's memory.
@@artistanthony1007 sonic runners?, recent merch. I think hes coming back
@@wisccheese9257 He’s back in sonic forces speedbattle (mobile game) and he was supposed to be one of the illusions in sonic forces in the original script.
I would've preferred Mephiles turning out to be Shadow's darkside that he somehow expelled from his being following the fight with the Final Hazard from SA2, and somehow ended up sealed in the Scepter of Darkness, and upon being released set out to destroy Shadow not only out of vengeance for tossing away his evil nature upon remembering his true promise to Maria, but also to prove he was the strongest of the two halves.
Super Sullivan that would be epic
Super Sullivan
Woah! Sounds like a very interesting backstory!
actually,that makes me want to come up with an interessting direction for the character:
mephiles as just the matter that we saw in the flashback would be an emotionless mind. no form,no feelings,no memories(obviously. it is technicly a new being). when merging with shadows dark side,that side of shadow is actually the more important part of the mix. he is the real ultimate lifeform,he wants to seek revenge on humanity,not for project solaris,but for gunning down maria. he wants to sway shadow to the dark side,but also wants revenge on him for refusing him in shadow the hedgehog(in this timeline,the darkside of that game never happened and shadow went with being a hero afterall) and for stopping the ark in sa2. he wants to destory this world and wants to create a new one as a newly fused solaris.
I have to admit I like the general idea behind Mephiles, and his second form's design is pretty good. However, not to many people's surprise, the story's writing ruins it. Sure, he manipulates people into doing what he wants and eventually achieves what he was going for. Now that's really great and all... but the problem is though, he didn't have to do any manipulating in order to reach his goals. He tries to seduce Shadow to the dark side... because that's what bad guys do I guess, I don't see how Shadow's help would have amounted to much. He tries to manipulate Silver into killing Sonic... even though he easily pulls that off later in mere seconds. Mephiles could've won right away with all those ridiculously strong powers of his. It really sucks too, because there's an easy fix to this... nerfing Mephiles. If Mephiles' abilities were cut down to immortality and time travel alone, it would have justified every bit of manipulation he does because he wouldn't have the raw power required to kill Sonic by himself. Him trying to get powerful characters like Shadow and Silver on board with him would make perfect sense. Plus it would make him a perfect foil to Iblis, him being the "brains" and Iblis the "brawn". ...Too bad that wouldn't fix everything else about the story though. :/
+Stegomasaurus Well, some Actions make more sense, if you look at them from a different Perspective.
1. If he could convince Shadow to switch to his side, Mephiles wouldn't have
to deal with him and could instead focus on collecting Emeralds.
2. Mephiles wouldn't accomplish anything, if he killed Sonic at the Beginning,
because Elise didn't have any Feelings for Sonic at that Point.
--> She wouldn't cry because of it (By the way: A new Version of 06
should mention, that only Tears caused by Emotions, release Ibliss, just
saying). And I guess, that he chooses Silver to do the Job instead, because
of the first Fight against Iblis.
--> He knew, that Silver would need a long time to kill Sonic. All the Events
(in the meantime) would bring Sonic and Elise closer together, so when
Silver would finally be able to kill Sonic, Elise would release Tears, that
can free Iblis.
1.+2. focused on Mephiles being a Tactician but there is one other Perspective.
3. Even if Mephiles is pure Darkness, he is still showing Emotions, so the
Reason he takes his Time are his Feelings.
--> He might enjoy the Moments, want to let People suffer longer and isn't
feeling like bringing Doomsday so early, or else he loses his Enjoyment.
Maybe he actually is the Type of Person, who is more interessted in the
Way to the Goal, than the Goal itself (at some Points).
But this goes to much into the psychological Direction and this is only a
quick Guess on my Side anyway.
...Yeah I might be thinking too much about that, nerfing Mephiles woud make some Things more easier to write and would create some other Cutscenes, which aren't possible with the Mephiles we have.
+Gerhard H. So about enjoying the suffering and everything..... Basically make him any villain in DBZ/S :P
+BKOOL999 Well, ....I guess so, but Mephiles could enjoy it, without getting killed because of it.
Well the SOnic Team draws a lot of inspiration from DBZ anyway so.. lol
Not exactly seduction, more of attempting to lure him with shadow's own future or supposed future, I kinda thought the immortality would of kepted mephiles alive but since he was mostly the mind and not most of the strength to free himself to prevent himself from dying. He's a destructive little baby
Is it wrong to have a soft spot for this game?
No, it's absolutely fine.
No
No, with a patch it would have been enough to fix the game in general.
The story is great! It's just the game itself isn't. I'd pay a lot of money if they had this as a full CGI movie.
no. no it is not wrong.
Sonic 06 sucked. They brought such an awesome villain, but the game was terrible. I wish Mephiles will play a much larger role soon, possibly making a comeback.
Mastah Playah Hopefully
I personally loved the game. is it the best, not even close but it was still fun and did it's job of changing how we view Sonic. Honestly I wish they would just remake this game without its problems. They could make it like an apology to the fans for rushing it so much. This game was amazing but could have been so much better without its glitches and the horrid loading screen.
+Mastah Playah Imagine a Sonic Adventure like game were you could play as a villain like Mephiles, but unlike Sonic Adventure 2, Mephiles stays a villain the entire time. Like when you beat the final boss, you unlock the villain and can have an evil mode dedicated to just wrecking havoc on the heroes...And discover what the villain does outside of boss battles and cut scenes...
+TheUltimateKnucklehead That reminds me of "Hyrule Warriors" somehow.
+Gerhard H. "sonic warriors" would be so cool!
The best part about Mephiles for me is that by having no mouth, Dan Green could be VERY Creative with his dialogue, and it shows.
Idc if the game sucked or not, as a Sonic fan I still enjoyed it. I really hope they will make a new Sonic game in the future, where Mephiles once again is the villain. Great video.
Well it certainly was entertaining, or else I wouldn't have completed it to 100% with the DLCs. Many People like Mephiles so SEGA should consider giving him another Chance.
Mephiles, the only character who managed to kill sonic with no sweat
"The devil doesn't come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything you ever wished for. Pray for wisdom and discernment"
Mephiles was the darkest and most evil sonic villain as he wanted to destroy all of reality, time and space. And he surpassed even black doom. Plus Eggman wanted to rule but not destroy everything like mephiles did.
The Most epic villain of all sonic history
Power Balance gets erased permanently! Lol
Shadow wouldn't know much about Solaris since he was still captive under GUN
Well, there weren't many, that knew about it to begin with, because it was a Top Secret Project.
+Gerhard H. Than how does rouge know? I'm pretty sure if the kind of your land died they will find out the cause. And if the present in this game is 2006, then this is in 1996 and no information like this is secret (idk if it is tho)
She works for GUN.
You mean "King" right ? They People of Soleanna have heard about the Accident, but I don't think, that they were informed about all the Details [Example: the ARK Incident wasn't completly known for 50 Years].
+Gerhard H. If the kind of your land dies, there must be an investigation conducted and so the public would know
DARK REALMS PRODUCTIONS
But it wouldn't be impossible, that some Guys from the Royal Society try to change some Informations for the Public.

silver has infected everyone with this MEME, even the characters of his own saga

XDDDDDD
Was blaze aware of who sonic was from sonic rush and rush adventure
Well, the Question "Blue Hedgehog ?" shows us, that it rings a Bell at least, but she doesn't know anything beyond that in this Game.
This Question is a bit tough, since Sonic 06 was supposed to be a Reboot.
So: Considering that, I would call it a little Easter Egg and nothing more.
I was thinking that Rush and Rush Adventure comes after the 06 reset since Blaze wouldn’t have been affected by it after Solaris’s defeat
yeah,the timeline is out of order here. "blue hedgehog" is actually "naive hedgehog" in japanese. it just uses the same word as blue to trick silver and the players. the translator got tricked too tho and thus,that is technicly a mistranslation(i mean,it would have been weird af if silver suddenly said "you mean that naive hedgehog?",but oh well. languagebarriers.)
blaze was born and grew up in crisis city with powers linked to iblis....somehow(was it ever explained how she has firepowers?),then she seals iblis inside herself and gets her existance rewritten to be in the soldimension.
with the timeline resetting,history was changed to make sence of her being there and thus,she was "retroactively reborn"(i have no better term for it) as princess of that dimension. and because of the firepowers she has from iblis,she became the guardian of the solemeralds or something. i never actually played rush and rivals,i just heared that the games exist and eggman nega from the future stuff
Sonic 06 never happened
When what with crisis city in generations
@@lpfan4491 Shiro Maekawa (main scriptwriter of SA2, StH, 06) literally confirmed this. When Blaze sealed herself in another dimension, it was Sol dimension.
However, Takashi Iizuka refutes this.
In general, they themselves do not know the exact answer.

Aren't Cain, Nazo and Seelkadoom OCs from three sonic fans?
@@justarandomguy4873 yes
Nazo is not an oc he was supposed to appear in sonic x as an alternative super sonic design but he was scrapped
6:15 was my favorite chaos control teleportation scene. "A one way ticket to oblivion". ☠️
The fact that mephiles is voiced by Dan Green is great Heck sometimes I hear Yami Yugi instead sometimes
somehow,i think they did that intentionally as a yugioh reference. afterall,atem was being sealed into a mc guffin after some kind of big event(project solaris/stopping the major badguy) and then manifested in the darkness of a person similar yet completely diffrent then them...yeah,that kinda fits completely lol
mephiles was my favourite
7:45 why do i have the feeling that Mephiles' looking down in my soul???
Nice Guy and it worked
He knows all about each and every one of your sins...
I have no soul
I have to say how brilliantly you put the credits together!
dirtypms Thanks, I'm glad, that you like it.
The gameplay may have been bad. But no matter what anybody says, Sonic 06 was an epic game and Mephiles was the ultimate villain!
i agree. despite the fact that everybody said this game sucks, NOBODY EVER said something bad about Mephiles.
Nov 5062 Like I said, Sonic 06 was a horrible game thanks to the many gameplay errors SEGA was too lazy to fix and the story was confusing for younger people (Jesus I sound like a game reviewer) but Mephiles was one of the few things that gave the game something worthwhile to talk about. Because unlike other Sonic villains in either the games or comics, who wanted to either wanted to destroy the world in revenge or conquer it, Mephiles wanted to destroy reality all because he wanted to.
*6:33** Shadow has left the server...Mephile has left the server...*
Gotta say, never played the game, but Mephiles' slow and eerie piano theme is super good.
This game had so much potential...
Wow such wasted potential, Mephiles was a pretty cool Pure Evil Villain: His Motives are simple and easy to understand, he just wants to reunite with his other half and destroy everything.
He enjoys causing suffering to others.
While he seems to have the power to enact his goals by himself he seems to prefer the angle of manipulating others to do his dirty work for him.
He has an interesting duality with Shadow that brings out the best in everyone's favorite Edge-hog.
And he's just plain Charismatic as hell in a way that you love to hate, like you don't want him to win but you're excited to see just how bad he is.
Bysthedragon
Exactly! :)
Shadow is threatened by a god yet he still continues on his task, he was pretty awesome in this game
Dan Green's evil laugh was on point!
Evil Sounds Deep for Mephiles the Dark
Anyone else is seeing this video after witnessing the epic failure that is Infinite? Mephiles is just SO MUCH BETTER!
Mephiles the dark voiced by Dan Green of Sonic 06 for Xbox 360 and PS3 - is one of the best and cold hearted, curel manipulated villains in the worst game of the mid 2000's era and it's just too bad that all the events were erased as it never even happened before it occurred.
4:11
That's some quality, grade-A voice acting, right there.
Sounds like they hated their job lmao
Theres so much passing and gasp and slow nods and movements you'd think this was an anime...
Sonic technically was the iblis trigger. In him dying, elise cried breaking the seal
11:28 can we talk about how Mephiles slid perfectly without any effort
Lol
I love how mephiles takes advantage of sonic adventure 2's shadow, in his wanting to take revenge on the "Foolish humans" who took maria from him.
That Random Gamer
Yes! It's actually really amazing, and shows how much Sgadow has developed since Sonic Sdventure 2
11:32 Aside from the famous kick, this is probably my favorite cutscene.
Mephiles is what saved this game and also, seeing this version of dr eggman for the first time, he doesn’t look as bad as I heard he looked.
That team dark arc had so much going on I'd love to see more from that.
If Shadow got a spin off movie, I want Mephiles as the main villain
I couldn't help but laugh when he said he had the ability to travel through time
THE SUPREME DALEK
Ah, same here! I felt lije Silver or Blaze should have asked "then why are you in this ruined timeline when you can escape easily!?" XD
19:56 how could SEGA think it is a good idea to create a character that looks that derpy??
lolCollol You're right lol
lolCollol >:v
This is the best villain in sonic stories I hope they will bring him back with a horrific back story
The main reason I love 06, Shadow and Mephalis’ story is just great and suprisingly well written with all the details about each characters different sequence of events
The thing that I find so eerie yet compelling about Mephiles are the moments where he stops speaking. The way he pauses is so fucking unnatural, yet so right.
He's like a predator when his body "shuts down." Everything about him freezes and seems to stop working, almost like he's working up the power inwardly to strike. That's the predator part, but his eyes tell a completely different story. When Mephiles stops and just blankly stares, it's like all of that predatory urge to kill gets petrified.
It feels like there's an internal dialogue every time he pauses like this. He's almost lustfully fantasizing about the sinister ways he'll use his words next. There's never a pounce despite how sinister and calculating he is, again, the unnatural part of this whole "predator stalking prey" thing. And yet to this day no villain in the Sonic series can match the amount of damage he's done.
It's just such an odd choice that makes him feel like he doesn't even belong in this game. Like, when Mephiles does actually move and talk with other characters, he starts up like an actor preparing to speak his lines. It's kinda great.
PLEASE Sega, let him come back, you can give him more story development, change his look (let it be a mix of Shadow and Infinite), and you can give him the Phantom Ruby to be a little more powerful, PLEASE Sega!
fun fact: mephiles never blinks at any point, which adds to his already eerie atmosphere
_Shadow:_ "Why are you here? Did you ruin this world?"
_Mephiles:_ "The answer's yes, and no."
*So, basically:*
_S:_ Did you ruin this world?
_M:_ no.
_S:_ Why are you here?
M: yes.
funny.
When Silver and Mephiles meet...
Sonic Black and White confirmed.
Sonic games always have the best stories...hope they continue it
I know it's a video game and all, but that stare at 7:50 just give me the chills! I underestimated Mephiles - he's the best villain in the Sonic series!
Mephiles was such a great villain, honestly. I'd even dare say he was the best Sonic villain. He was very proactive, cold, and manipulative. Infinite isn't shit compared to him.
Fun fact: the music that plays in this cutscene ( 19:02 ) is called
"Mephiles's Smile".
And I will never understand why.
18:32 literally the most badass sonic moment possibly of all time lol
@14:36 This scene feels like Omega and Mephiles do this every afternoon,and the lack of music just makes it so funny XD
Dead Channel
Yeah, xD
It is a shame that Mephiles was not shown after this game. One minute he is there, the next, it is like he never existed in the first place after this.
well in the end the timeline got deleted so iblis mephiles or solaris doesnt exist anymore nor the sonic 06 event happened
@@ImmortalityExist True, true.
22:13 Is nobody gonna talk about this transformation?
Why?
*NOW I HAVE ALL THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW AND I WILL UNLEASH MY TRUE GAY POWER*
12:03 - 19:01
Probably one of the better looking in-game cutscenes of this game.
P.S.
If your stuck on the time line and all of this then I recommend that you see:The Story Of Silver, it really tells half the story here and then THIS will make much more sense.
