Lol, Sonic became relevant again. Nice. I think he's quite an underrated character in this series so it was fun seeing him in action again especially when fighting giant snakes.

Saitama's role in this was also funny. They also made that bear look scary ;o

This was a nice warm up to what will be Sonic's return episode in Season 2. At least, that's what I felt considering how he comes back in the manga. Unless this is just before his return in the first season that lands him in jail. Either way, it was fun to watch the training, and Saitama's bear hunt.
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

Glad to see more of Sonic. I really hope he'll have more screentime in the second season.

Before the jail, I think. It is sold with episode 5 and 6, I believe.

Good oav, nice to see Sonic again.

Lol Sonic has been traumatized by that wrecking ball punch. Evert time he imagines himself fighting Saitama, things end with him getting his balls damaged. He even has nightmares about that lol.
And after training himself, he comes to the point where he can imagine defeating Saitama... yeah, like that'll ever happen.

Lol Saitama wanted to eat the wild boar, but had to settle for the wild bear.

I loved the nightmares Sonic had of Saitama, those were so great. Sonic's singing was also... interesting. I think all the specials are gonna be centered around a different character and said character will sing at the end. To be honest, I'm gonna be wondering about what the singing voice of each character is gonna be like throughout every special...

Sonic is truly traumatized by Saitama.

I like this idea of exploring different characters. Hope the next one is about somebody else.

Lol not surprised that Sonic is still traumatized by Saitama's punch. I'm sure anyone would be. I like how Saitama just showed up from literally nowhere......and his rape face was hilarious.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Great episode :O Sonic, Makagi and the boar were nice together.

I can't believe that Saitama ruined the ending a bit for me. I wished for Sonic to save them.

'Frank Matagi...what a good name'


Ok, this just endeared me to Sonic. Poor bae...still traumatized by Saitama punching in his family jewels

And YES. I wanted Sonic to save Frank and the little boar as well!

Best special yet. The other two were pretty boring, but this one was quite enjoyable, more like the actual series itself (but obviously not even close to that quality).

It's about time best boy Sonic finally got some more screen time!

Besides the character developpment, they did a good job stressing out the fact that the "nut punch" was indeed a traumatizing experience for Sonic xD

This was my favorite of all the specials! Sonic is such a cool character. Loved seeing him come to terms with his Saitama trauma and making friends with that baby wild boor! This special reminded me why I loved the original show: over the top and action packed, making from of cliches in the shonen genre :)
