Junko:  We all know the story of the great King Arthur. A hero in his own story despite being a bit of a dick sometimes. Well now he's not only being a dick, he's turned completely evil and corrupt. Merlina knew he had to be stopped. And so, she summoned a hero from another world. One that would defeat King Arthur and bring an end to his tyranny. She summoned... Sonic the Hedgehog!

Kokonoe: Since we are using this specific version of Sonic, we will be going over every game leading up to this point. So basically we'll be looking at how powerful Sonic was all the way back in 2009... god I feel old... we'll be looking at other games too for reference. 

Ann: But while we won't be covering all of Sonic, there's still a lot to go over.

Junko: The guy is already strong enough to tear apart Eggman's metal goons on a daily basis. He's survived the destruction of the Death Egg Robot, whose explosion could level a city block. And he's even damaged Eggman's Egg Mobile, which is strong enough to survive a Black Hole.

Ann: He's fought Knuckles on several occasions, who is strong enough to cause explosions that can be seen from space. He's also comparable to Shadow, who can flip semi-trucks and hold back a planet-sized plant alien. Sonic is strong enough to stun the planet-breaking Dark Gaia and has even defeated Emerl. At this time Emerl had already copied all the powers and abilities of Sonic's friends and even had all seven Chaos Emeralds, yet Sonic managed to beat him in 30 seconds.

Junko: Yeah, there's no doubt Sonic is the fastest thing alive. The guy outran a pseudo-Black Hole and can run around the Earth as many times as he wants. Hell, even light speed is considered slow for him. He's survived falls from orbit, dodged meteors, and even took down Infinite, who could make an illusionary replica of the sun!

Ann: Wait, I thought we were sticking with games before 2009.

Kokonoe: I said we were determining how powerful Sonic would be during that time. Considering Classic Sonic is only Sonic in the past, using him as a reference due to his appearance in both Frontiers and Generations shouldn't be a problem.

Junko: Basic time travel shenanigans.

Kokonoe: Despite his cocky demeanor and arrogance, Sonic is actually pretty smart. Through years of countless adventures, Sonic has shown himself to be a skilled and formidable combatant. The Blue Blur's single greatest asset is his signature speed, which he has demonstrated complete mastery over in any environment due to full control of his momentum. Because of this, Sonic excels in applying his speed and agility to evasive maneuvers and offensive techniques fueled by momentum-based combat. 

Junko: Beyond clever applications of Sonic's speed is his capacity for adaptability and quick learning, such as when he realized Shadow was using the Chaos Emerald to "warp" despite never having encountered it. He then replicated Chaos Control with a fake Chaos Emerald, something Shadow deemed impossible despite his intricacies with Chaos Energy.

Ann: He's also capable of applying this to his fighting style. In less than a day, Sonic learned how to effortlessly apply his speed to his swordplay and bested the legendary Knights of the Round Tables themselves! Lancelot, Gawain, and Percival!

Kokonoe: Since we're going by his appearance in the Black Knight, most of his items are no longer available to him, including the Chaos Emeralds. However, he will still have his legendary sword, Caliburn.

Junko: Wait, I thought it was Excalibur?

Kokonoe: That won't be until later on. Funny enough, the original King Arthur was believed to have always had Excalibur as well, but in reality, he had Caliburn first.

Junko: Caliburn is a talking sword, though he's not quite as annoying as the one in Soul Eater. Not only can he deflect projectiles, but he can also levitate and move around on his own as well as advise and guide Sonic in battle.

Kokonoe: Sonic has three fighting styles with a sword. Paladin Style relies on more strength with slower speed. The Cavalier Style focuses more on speed than strength. And Knight Style is a balance of both.

Ann: He can also use Caliburn to form a barrier and block enemy attacks. Speaking of attacks, his signature move is the Homing attack.

Ann: Where he homes in on his target then goes for a spinning attack. It's an advanced version of the Spindash but he didn't learn it from Tails.

Junko: He actually learned it as Classic Sonic from Modern Sonic who I guess is the present-day Sonic and um... uh...

Ann: Let's move on. He has a stronger version that takes out six targets at once and can even use it while holding Caliburn. He can also use a Boost.

Ann: Where he runs much faster than his normal speeds and essentially uses himself as a battering ram, running through everyone and everything that's in his path. It's a temporary boost in speed and he can even do this in mid-air, breaking the sound barrier.

Junko: Of course, we'll get back to these later, but Sonic is capable of so much more.

Kokonoe: For example, he can use his Light Speed Attack to attack multiple opponents at... well light speed. He can create tornadoes that either disorientate or disarm his foes and can even make a whirlwind to target multiple foes at once. 

Junko: With the Spindash, Sonic can also make shockwaves, because why not? And by vibrating his molecules at a subatomic speed, he grants himself a minor healing factor... pretty sure that's not how that works.

Ann: Well, he also has "Magic Hands", which lets him shrink opponents and throw them like grenades. He can also shrink himself to make it more difficult for enemies to hit him. Sonic 06 logic I guess. But most importantly are his shields.

Ann: Protective bubbles that protect against deadly incoming attacks and break after one hit. They could generally be found by breaking a monitor, but he has been shown in Sonic 06 and Sonic Generations that he could summon a shield without one. 

Kokonoe: Aside from the regular shield, there are three different types. Starting with the Flaming Shield.

Ann: Hm? Oh yeah, this shield has fire properties, letting him block fire or heat-based attacks and even letting him run on lava. Sonic can also perform a forward-dashing fire spin attack when it is active. But it does disappear if it comes into contact with water.

Junko: Then there's the Bubble Shield, which lets him breathe underwater and makes Sonic more bouncy when jumping. It can also deflect small projectiles. 

Kokonoe: And lastly is the Lightning Shield, which grants Sonic immunity to electric attacks and deflects small projectiles. In some but not all games, it disappears when it comes into contact with water but it does grant him an extra jump in addition to his normal ones as well as attract rings to his position.

Junko: Though for this Sonic, he doesn't necessarily need rings for battle. Thanks to a magic ring given to him by the genie, Shara, Sonic is capable of utilizing Soul Energy!

Kokonoe: Soul Energy is a sort of ethereal energy source Sonic could gather by collecting pearls and fairies, defeating enemies, or a few other misc methods. Sonic can then put this "soul" energy towards certain special abilities.

Ann: Like the Speed Break!

Ann: An ability that utilizes soul energy to temporarily increase Sonic's speed! Letting him move so fast that the air around him sets on fire! This allows him to run past projectiles and push attacks back at the enemies! It's very similar to Blaze's version of the Boost, destroying anything in his path!

Junko: It's also the opposite of Sonic's Time Break.

Junko: Which allows him to slow down time,  giving Sonic extra time to react to his environment. His movements also slow down, allowing for better reactions toward danger.

Ann: And finally, the Soul Surge!

Ann: An ability that uses soul energy to perform a powerful Dash or physical attack. When used as an attack, he'll charge up the attack and then dash at his opponent instantly before swinging Caliburn with a powerful slash! He does the same when used as a kick, except this time he jumps at the enemy and delivers a powerful kick. And when applied to his speed, he makes it function very similarly to his Speed Break.

Junko: But that didn't help him in his battle against Merlina, who wasn't really kind but gasp... an evil Dark Queen! ... Well, it's not too surprising. I mean, she's the daughter of Merlin. That guy's an asshole in almost every iteration.

Kokonoe: But even when backed into a corner with a broken sword, Sonic did not give up. And with the help of his friends, he used the power of the Sacred Swords and transformed into Excalibur Sonic.

Junko: My personal favorite transformation in terms of design, but that's only my opinion.

Kokonoe: Claid in indestructible armor, this version of Sonic is known for being the Ultimate Knight, and just like Super Sonic, it's a 1000x increase in speed and power. He also has the additional ability to fly as well as a further enhanced Soul Surge and no real time limit.

Junko: He can even go up against the Dark Queen, who was stated to be one of Sonic's most powerful foes at that time!

Kokonoe: Taking this claim literally, this places the Dark Queen on similar levels to Solaris, who nearly destroyed the past, present, and future... the Time Eater, who was going to eat all of time... and even Alf Layla wa-Layla, a being capable of turning the world of Arabian Nights into an endless void with his mere presence. The Dark Queen herself froze her entire universe in time and merged it with the Underworld.

Junko: Still, it wouldn't be an upgrade without an upgraded sword!

Junko: That's right! Even Caliburn gets an upgrade, transforming into the legendary Excalibur itself!

Kokonoe: This blade can extend to greater lengths using his Soul Surge and can even repair itself if it's ever damaged. He's also said to be able to cut through anything, including magical barriers and even immortal beings by projecting energy into Excalibur and performing a powerful dash attack.

Ann: But just because Sonic is powerful doesn't mean he's invincible. He does have his own weaknesses.

Ann: Sonic is rather cocky, which could lead to him underestimating foes and them getting the better of him, like when facing Infinite. He also can't swim, but he can run on water or run out of it... sometimes.

Junko: His Excalibur form also isn't invincible. There isn't any time limit for it, but he can be reverted back to his base form if the transformation takes too much damage.

Kokonoe: Still, Sonic managed to fight and take down Merlina. He even managed to make her see the error of her ways and become a good person again. All while becoming the new King... the true King Arthur.

Junko: Hah! ... Wait, did he abandon an entire kingdom after that?

Kokonoe: We don't dig too deep into it.

Sonic: Merlina... Every world has its end. I know that's kinda sad, but... That's why we gotta live life to the fullest in the time we have. At least, that's what I figure.
