User:Konnichiku/There is only one Sonic

A meme image, has been used in motivational posters and generic memes, like "What is this I don't even".

Origin
The image was from the climax of Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie, where Sonic is trying to save Hyper Metal Sonic from being engulfed by lava, but Metal refuses and says "There is only one Sonic". That was his only line in the film. The visual that accompanies this line is Sonic, looking visibly shocked (and he's also sweating), turning light blue. The background is dark, and you can see it's moving. The term for this effect is "gaku-gaku", which means "Light blue effect" in Japanese. (The more proper term for it is "ライトブルーの効果", which romanized is "raitoburu no koka".)

Following
On January 6th, 2014, the Know Your Meme entry "What is this I don't even"'s photo gallery was uploaded with Sonic in gaku-gaku...now with text saying the aftermentioned name of the meme.

A motivational poster shown above was also made, as well as another image like the KYM one, saying that this is apparently Sonic's reaction to the new version of YouTube's comment layout.

The original meme image on Know Your Meme has gotten approximately 6 views during the 21 hours it first was on the site.
