Characters who are quite literally

Even if you were Japanese it would be confusing as fuck, since the story goes through multiple different video game series, multiple anime series, and a manga. But then the video games that included the core of the story weren't even released here. Weird that Bandai would put all their eggs in a basket that wasn't even released outside Japan. And the games that were on Wonderswan would have sold like hotcakes here since that's what kids wanted here at the time, easy to understand pokemon ripoffs. Digimon World is a much more obtuse and difficult game that would be much harder for kids to understand, but it still sold. They really shot themselves in the foot by making that and its sequels (which are incredibly different but still very obtuse and difficult) the only Digimon games released here.


Well it's made very clear that Millenniummon is the Jogress of Mugendramon and Chimeramon. They don't draw attention to the fact that Mugendramon isn't supposed to have a mind of its own, however, and that Chimeramon's soul is actually the soul of Devimon. That's just something that makes it extra cool when you think about it.

All three return in Lego Dimensions, as shown in

Metal is said to be the best version out of the three

When is this Master Emerald addicted fuck finally coming back?

How did it even become so intelligent? I hope it never speaks, but it's fascinating how this humble upgrade of the previous model gained that kind of free will and knowledge using Chaos Emeralds could supercharge it and make it nigh invincible.

Well Sonic games aren't allowed to have story anymore, so even if he did come back, it would probably be in a less substantial role than he had in Sonic 3 & Knuckles. And that's a game where you have to look at subtle background clues to even notice that the story where he's the bad guy is even a separate story from the one where he's just a henchman.

Still could be a secret boss.

Well we still know so little about Sonic project 2017.

All we know is Classic and Modern Sonic are in it and that there are two big robots that look Very similar to the Death Egg Robot.
I guess Eggman's Robots/Robot Designs are being re purposed in this game. Still very little to go on but we could be seeing Old bosses again.
Now that I think about it Sonic Mania also has Remixed bosses from previous games or at least the one we've seen so far. Really anything could happen.

Wonder why MMZ Zero looks so weird and starts off with a pistol? You never were him, ever. X vanished into Cyberspace to hide the fact that he gave Axl a makeover with his copy ability to have a symbol of revolution, for revenge on Neo Arcadia that turned Zero into the walking nuke that's Omega.

X7's not gonna justify itself.

Ultimate Spider-Man was supposed to be canon to the comics. It's not the main Marvel Universe, but the Ultimate Universe is very large on its own, and it is part of the larger Marvel Multiverse, which includes not only the MCU (which by already has dozens of movies and like five or six tv shows), but of course the main Marvel Universe. The main Marvel Universe includes things like Showa Godzilla, Doctor Who, and the original Transformers continuity (including G1, G2, Beast Wars, and Beast Machines). Then of course Marvel has had canon crossovers with DC, and they exist in the same omniverse. The DCU includes not only things like Sherlock Holmes and all sorts of classic novels, like Dracula and Frankenstein (actually Marvel has a cooler Dracula and a pretty cool Frankenstein too. The novels are canon to both universes), the DC Multiverse also includes the DC Animated Universe, which consists of at least five tv shows and a few movies, as well as Earth-Prime/Earth-33, the real world that we live in.

This means that Ultimate Beetle, IIRC the only "new" character introduced in the game, has the deepest lore of any video game character ever.
