Chaos council draws. What started as trying at older Don't and Babble looks.
Kid Babble (Wound up giving off Radical Edward vibes)
Adult Don't
Younger Done-it (He's in his Boom era or something)
Deep (He has a cat here.)
Mr. Dr. Venturaman
Bro the way everyone from the Council looked so saddened over Chaos Sonic's destruction... Babble specially was holding his broken pieces so gently... That absolutely broke my heart
There are way too many things to analyze in this scene!
First of all, I couldn't help but notice how Nine hid away his strengths and capabilities. He internally loves and enjoys a little gloating and all but when he senses it could have a consequence, he hides it away. The same way he tends to hide his tails! The same way he refuses to fly in front of others (the only times we've seen him fly is either in front of only Sonic or to save Sonic. And just once when they were escaping from the Egg Forcers back in Escape from New Yoke City. He remained cautious throughout afterwards to not fly in front of the Resistance again.) Anyways, here in the beginning of this scene, he hides away what he can do bcoz a part of him has figured out that letting Eggman learn anymore of his capabilities could lead to a consequence, he just doesn't know what it could be.
"You think I have vision and imagination?"
There is scepticism in his voice, not hope or confidence or smugness. He knows what he can do and he is trying to hide it.
.....
Secondly, using Nine's intellect against him in a tricky way. It seems Mr Dr Eggman - ugh, this name is a mouthful, I'll just refer to him as Eggman - it seems Eggman's skills lie much more in manipulation tactics than previously presumed. He's also using the fox's insecurities to hit him where it hurts.
......
Moving on to the third thing- Nine, when his deepest insecurities were being pointed out, we could see in his eyes that the words were having an effect on him. He's a traumatized kid still and just because he had learned to fight back doesn't mean he still can't get hurt. He did get hurt in this scene.
But then he blinked and instantly composed himself and smirked back. An act. Both a coping mechanism and a method to fight back. Hide your vulnerabilities, hide and pretend to be unaffected by what hurts you so the other wouldn't succeed, so the other wouldn't keep it up. Nine did just that. He diverted what was thrown at him and turned it around.
"I'm pathetic? You're the ones with unlimited power and all you can think to do is build a bigger robot."
A deflected strike back and criticism on the other instead of falling on defending himself cuz that would've both implied he felt insecure and would've revealed his capabilities. That was one psychological attack he dealt against, which indicates he might've suffered from it in his life before (no wonder he's so bitter about the city and its inhabitants).
.....
Moving on, he clearly has as much confidence in Sonic as Tails often does, like a brother, that's pretty sweet. He has full confidence and belief that the council can't beat Sonic and he feels both smug and happy about it. He's gotten attached to the hedgehog just as much.
Whatever his goals are, whatever his end motives will be, a part of him has genuinely accepted Sonic as his kin and did so long ago, right when he asked Sonic, "What else did we do?" It's clear from analysing his character in this scene that Nine never willingly shows any of his insecurities to anyone, much less vulnerabilities. He is never open with others but in that moment, he consciously made the decision to be vulnerable with the hedgehog, to let some hope and yearning take over him in that moment. He trusted Sonic. He still cares about the other just as much.
......
And finally, that one thing that happened to poor Tails in SA2 just happened to Nine. Even the reaction is the same! Tails accidentally revealed that Sonic had the fake Emerald, Nine accidentally revealed how to be on the same level as Sonic. And both times, Eggman manipulated his way through it to get confirmation from the fox. Which is both kinda regretful and funny. I like how they sneaked in that easter egg.
Also, the way he panicked and worried and blamed himself right afterwards he cares about his friend so much! Ufhevxjfjtjfjfjjgj
Meet Dr. Supernova! Dr. Dont's assistant :3c! He's an emo scene punk (?) edgy teenager who always has a terrible attitude, very pessimistic, dramatic and secretive, he's addicted to his phone, likes to write poetry and keeps a diary/notebook in which he writes his deepest thoughts and wishes. (as well as drawing Don't). As you might have noticed, he's having his first crush ever in Dr. Don't lol
He represents Dr. Starline���s dramatic, analytical, ruthless and violent side. He's very impatient and has a deep knowledge in arcane forces and powers.
