The video starts with Darkedgebloodsword introducing himself, then PewDiePie appears, discussing the new Sonic game and taking a trip down memory lane to when Sonic first started. Sonic was created by SEGA to compete with Nintendo and initially wasn't well received. However, after some redesigns, Sonic became a huge success, surpassing Nintendo.
The video then takes a turn, discussing how the transition to 3D games didn't work well for Sonic, citing the failure of games like Sonic R. It also mentions how the Sonic franchise's decline led to the creation of some bizarre fan content, including the infamous Chris-chan, also known as Christian Chandler, who created the webcomic "Sonichu" and had a bizarre online presence, including homophobic and transphobic comments.
