The fact that 4Kids censored Rouge but then gave her the most suggestive voice they could get

[emiebex]

When it came to 4Kids it's a miracle Rouge the Bat even got shown on Sonic X at all. 🤷🏿‍♂️

[PhatBoyFresh]

Tails' mental breakdown was #1 for me. Then after Cosmo died he blamed Sonic and told him he's supposed to be the hero and asked why he didn't save her even though it's obvious there's nothing he could have done. Really wish I would have watched the Japanese version first, but I definitely still got the emotional impact when I watched it later.

There is at least some good things that came from it. (From what I know)
1. The opening song of the english version is still popular
2. Mike Pollock has been voicing Eggman ever since then and still to this day

[josefernando]

East: **give us the BEST! version of Sonic X*
West: **aplies annoying and useless censorship*
East Sonic: "Sh!t!"

Tails and Cosmos final moments made me cry. Too bad the dub cut the saddest moment.

[Makman]

In the English dub of the episode "A Materex Melee", when there's a flashback to Shadow attacking Chris, it uses the original uncensored Japanese footage from "Showdown in Space", where Shadow punches Chris into the wall, despite the current episode being from the English dub.

[Nathanieltan]

Yes! I've been waiting for this list to be covered! Thank you so much for bringing this up! 😭
The 4Kids version of Sonic X may be popular to all folks out there worldwide but the original Japanese version is a must-watch because not only the scenes that weren't removed but also for the voice direction, story, soundtrack, and writing such as Molly's and Cosmo's death.

Sonix X needs to be re-dubed by a different company and keep it all intact

[mr.mystere]

What makes the censorship funny is how inconsistent it was. In the very same arc where the dub censored the suicidal flight into running away, they still showed the one dude getting assimilated into that tree and dying. And don't get me started on Rouge and her constant appearance changes, sometimes in the same episode.

[Somethin]

When I heard that Sonic swore, I fully expected a swear in Japanese.
I certainly didn't expect 行くぞ！"

[reddragon]

And this is why Censoring anything just ruins everything.

[mrelephante]

Cosmo and Molly's deaths were super well done originally, I originally watched the 4kids version then realised how much I missed out

[mattiasolsson]

My god 4kids was too over protected by localize Japanese series, especially Maria and Molly’s death.

[BigFella]

Sonic X is one of the best Sonic tv shows

[gabriels]

Fun fact: for Molly’s death, in the scene where they Shadow and Rouge were standing by where the spot where she died, in the English dub the giant piece of scrap metal that was supposed to be her grave was removed. But if you look closely you can still see it at the part where Shadow tossed the chaos emerald to Rouge.

[michaela]

You can't forget the Perfect Chaos scene. He violently flooded a city with very little warning. In the sub version the VA of the reporter puts there all when it comes to this scene. She really sells the fear and destruction that Chaos brought to the city killing thousands maybe billions of people. In the 4kids dub however in the 4kids dub, the reporter says that no one has been seriously injured. Like why?! This line changed really takes away from the intimidation of Perfect Chaos and the fear the civilians faced.

[ABOhiccups]

At least we’re finally get a Subtitled Version on Blu-ray Disc soon.

[JeveGreen]

Honestly, I barely remember anything from the first two seasons of Sonic X. It just didn't click with me.
But that third season, oh boy... Tails is my favourite Sonic character, and seeing him and Cosmo fall in love, only for that heartbreaking ending where she had to sacrifice herself with Tails' assistance...
It shaped me as a person! I'm not kidding, I don't think I would've fallen quite as deep in love with the Sonic franchise if it hadn't been for Cosmo. Her story just resonated with me so perfectly...
