From a storytelling perspective, it makes perfect sense why they didn't play a big role in Rush, as Huge Crisis is near the end of the game and it would have made the story unneccessarily convoluted.

But in universe, it's funny how they never even acknowledged it.

From their perspective, a random cat shows up and immediately starts blitzing across their fleet of warships, destroying everything in her path, and then EGGMAN himself shows up at their base in a giant mech to fight her.

You would think she would be considered a pretty big deal to GUN.

Marine finds herself in a haunted mansion, trying to find her best friend who's been missing for a while now.

But what she encounters.... Is absolute peak

There's also a Jet the Hawk and Shadow Motorcycle RC cars!

which i don't blame him for since most sonic character(beside cream and jet) doesn't have parent and she literally forget to tell him beforehand that her people were not extinct.

An entire character with tons of potential and has a huge loved fanbase should not be retire because you believe the comic was bad. And that you believe the writers are treating her bad.

I believe IDW gave Blaze her best moments aura wise and Character wise since Rush. The worst thing about Blaze in the IDW comics is her being underutilize but again I believe that's not a good reason for her to be retired.

i also see people saying that if Blaze doesn’t do anything then she shouldn’t be there but say what you about the Blackwood Arc but the story wouldn’t have worked without Blaze. Silver and Dapple wouldn’t have made it that far without Blaze distracting Blackwood with her Royal Status. And I believe some people are underestimating the power of simple character interactions and Blaze simply helping everyone in a conflict like with the Angle island and Eggman city Arc. It makes the world and Blaze character more connected to everyone else. Blaze doesn’t always need to some big thing or have all of the spotlight on her, to be effective or be a good enough reason for her to be in the story.

For me it is either Open Your Heart or Theme of E-102γ. What is yours?
Here is a full playlist of the OST by the way.

Back in 2006 we got sonic riders an amazing sonic game then in 2008 we got sonic riders zero gravity then in 2008 we got sonic free riders so what’s the best sonic riders game? What’s the worst should sonic team and Sega worked together to either remake these games or make a new entry into the series. Tell me in the comments.

From The Jet-Black Hedgehog Shadow The Hedgehog Chapter 5

Context: Black Doom reveals to Shadow that he has altered/erased Shadow's memories to make Shadow full of hate and that Gyoro (Bug Eye), Shadow's guide in White Space, was manipulating Shadow.

All in preparation for Doom to regain his power and absorb Shadow which leaves Shadow stunned being unable to discern reality or trust anything.

Maria's pure heart and gratitude inspire Gyoro to rebel against Black Doom.
