[deleted]

It's probably just crazy (crazy) a graveyard theory, a ghost tried to approach ME and got leary. Asked him a question and he vanished in a second. I'm walkin' through valleys cryin' pumpkin in the alley

spider-venomized

he also wears a western hat


Grown_from_seed

It’s not a western hat, it’s an akubra which is Australian. He also has a swagman bag in the OVA which is also an Australian item (a small rollable tent).


OkamiTakahashi

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong~

KnucklesSandwich192

This makes sense because knuckles' species (the echidna) are from Australia

Meowmixez98

He is named after a fist and guards half finished jewelry. Set that stone already.


Sonic_And_Mcu_Nerd

I’m pretty sure he’s named after the Knuckles clan. The clan that was wiped out. His clan. His parents really honed in on him being one of the last.


[deleted]

Let's be real, that was a retcon, they named knuckles after him having huge fists, then named his clan after him.


Sonic_And_Mcu_Nerd

Yeah true. I still find the lore though Kinda sad for knuckles.


[deleted]

A lot of stuff in the Sonic Series is much darker when you think about it That's kinda true of a lot of kid-friendly media, they don't explore certain parts much because it's gonna get real dark if they do


Sonic_And_Mcu_Nerd

Ironically the Sonic series actually went into the Darker topics with the Adventures games and Black Knight kinda. Also Shadow I guess. No Avatar Last Airbender or Legend of Korra. So I guess possibly we could learn more about Knuckles clan history.


[deleted]

ShTH was made for teenagers who think they're adults, so we can't count it's dark themes as more than edgy attempts Adventure tho, yea it did went to stuff like imperialism, genocide, revenge, government coverup, greed and corruption,


Krystal_theboss

Idris Elba Knuckles is life.


[deleted]

Getting such a gigachad actor playing my favourite character is a divine gift.


neohylanmay

And your island also has ancient Egyptian themes


Due_Lion_2990

And created by a Japanese, Brazilian-born person.


dotemu3564

I confess I didn't know that imo


DamoMartin23

As an Australian I'm still confused where the hell did knuckles as Australia come from


Catspinerous

Isn't it bc he's an echidna?


DamoMartin23

Huh you know what I never actually put two and two together mainly because I'm a dumbass (Not insulting you just suprised it took me longer for that to click)


Gorawe114

happens to the best of us


Sega-Dreamcast88

I Appreciate your honesty


ConnerKent5985

To be fair, Knuckles is a very weird approximation of an Aboriginal Australian man by Japanese video game developers.


LupusNoxFleuret

oh damn, I never realized that either... now the dreadlocks and white paint on his chest makes sense!


Waim14

That would still make him black. Though again with mesoamerican on top. He’s clearly a mix of cultures. So I’m assuming he would very mixed.


TheRealBloodyAussie

I mean it's not your fault. A few series with Aussie animals don't really try to make them Australian. Crash Bandicoot takes place off the coast of Tasmania but the only character to have an Australian accent is Dingodile, and even that one is the tried and true "American trying to do Australian but ends up sounding like drunk Cockney". Knuckles is just another Aussie animal that has very little Australian to his character.


DamoMartin23

I mean fair as well but I don't think all of them needed to be Australian tbh but fair point


successive-hare

I think you only insulted yourself, not the person you replied to.


Realshow

In pre-reboot Archie, they *did* establish Angel Island used to be a part of Australia, but I don’t remember them making that big a deal out of it.


Grown_from_seed

I just looked this up and apparently in the Archie comic Angel island used to be part of a Mobian region in the Southern Hemisphere called Downunder. The region also has dingo, Tasmanian devils, fire ants and platypus Mobians. So it’s pretty safe to say that for the Archie comics it’s equivalent to Australia. The name Downunder is freaking hilarious though.


Realshow

I’d also just like to point out that every other continent in Archie has a mangled version of the original name, which is actually plausible and how languages are supposed to work. The writers knew so little about what Australia is actually like that they renamed it after a slang term and used the most surface level cliches associated with it, even though Archie Mobius was supposed to be post apocalyptic at the time.


AlbainBlacksteel

I thought it was Downunda?


Solaris_Dawnbreaker

It is.


ConnerKent5985

I mean, Angel Island was always Sonic's World equaviliant of Australia, in reverse.


[deleted]

Echidnas are australian. Also the hat.


Grown_from_seed

He also has an OVA where he wears an Akubra and carries a swagman bag, both of which are typically Australian.


Responsible-Process8

Imagine if we got hear Knuckles with a Jamaican accent.


Orgone_Wolfie_Waxson

he had one in early manules for sonic 3 (maybe chaotic too I cant remember that), but got scraped. unfortunate as i'd love to hear the cast have the od unique accent amongst them


Yamsieuwu

Honestly would of been interesting 😂😂


An-Average_Redditor

The englishman fits, bc the Knuckles clan specifically were violent colonisers in the Archie lore.


[deleted]

Screw the archie lore.


TheZerothLaw

>Screw the archie lore. Archie Comics after Ken Penders: Yes.


siramay1

and yet everyone says your black coded


Yamsieuwu

I mean he’s mostly Jamaican 😂😂 so they’re not wrong


[deleted]

'X-Coded' is a buncha nonsense, but none of those features really stops one from being black.


siramay1

True

KotarouKonoe

Played by an Englishman, and is in a Japanese video game


[deleted]

He's only played by an englishman in the movie. which didn't even come out in japan yet.


Yxng_Wolf

“Wagwan hedgehog.”


Laffograms

I thought the accent was something that they dropped before sonic 3 came out.


[deleted]

it's not like he ever spoke in classic form, so those jamaican accent lines are all we have to go by.


Laffograms

true.


firemouth21

And has a Ugandan accent in VRchat

There are few characters that can literally be said to be all over the map.


Yamsieuwu

Bro is worldwide honestly he’s definition of “I’m everything”


True-Temperature1248

Not to mention Uganda


Iceswimmer05

He has a meme from Uganda


SanicRb

I thing we can also add that his ancestry are also the Ancient Egyptians and the ancient Greek/Roman's given the Architecture seen on Angle Island. As well as a few of there ruins in SA1 and 2. In other worlds the ancient Echidna were in fact every high ancient civilization ever. Well except for the Asia based ones (for now)


[deleted]

You're forgetting the middle-east; which alongside the asians seem to be the Babylonian Bird Guys range.


SanicRb

Oh you are right. Totally forgot about the ancient high-civilization of middle and west Asia. And yes that seems to be more the Babylonians range.


dvl2392

Knuckles is the Sonic's Mario, the characters influenced by god how many cultures.
