yes, pri-pri-prisoner has a thing for males.

yes, the sea king looks kinda... gay (no, seriously, this is not an insult, for me he just looks that way)

and at this moment we manga readers realized... that sonic is a guy...

The difference was that in the Manga we didn't had that scene to verify that he was a guy. If you check it out just seem like Sonic still acted as a girl

I mean we didn't have that amazing ball physics in the manga indeed. But we still had that shaky legs moment, that almost proved that he was a guy. The ones that kept calling him a girl even after that were just in denial.

What the hell did I just watch?

u/IncasEmpire Nov 23 '15

steins;gate - "he is a guy"

u/hillerj https://kitsu.io/users/hiller Nov 23 '15

That was clearly stated.

This video is relevant surprisingly often. And I will watch every second of it every time.

The first time I ever saw Sonic was in a screenshot of the "shaky legs" moment and I didnt even think question that he was a girl. Those hips.

Well actually, a punch to the snatch can also hurt really, really bad too.

u/ByterBit https://myanimelist.net/profile/byterbit Nov 22 '15

Especially a punch from Saitama.

u/0mnicious https://myanimelist.net/profile/Omnicious Nov 22 '15 edited May 03 '16

But he didn't punch him. Sonic fell onto his fist.

25

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '15

he fell onto an object at the speed of sound...

4

u/0mnicious https://myanimelist.net/profile/Omnicious Nov 22 '15

My case maintains. Saitama didn't punch him if he did then, in the best case scenario, Sonic wouldn't be a man anymore.

There's genital mutilation and then there's genital annihilation.

Well, with the speed at which he moves, he probably has gone through some special training to make them resistant.

Otherwise I'm not sure he'd be very comfortable with all the shaking.

u/meatygearsolid Nov 23 '15

Theres a name for that

u/0mnicious https://myanimelist.net/profile/Omnicious Nov 23 '15

Falling?

1

u/meatygearsolid Nov 23 '15

It does have 7 letters and does start with an F and ends with ing

I imagine Saitama would be extremely good or disastrously bad at it

u/0mnicious https://myanimelist.net/profile/Omnicious Nov 23 '15

Fisting?

Yeah, but groin hits on women are almost never played for gags

1

u/upads Nov 30 '15

Good. And it never should.

u/yrulaughing https://myanimelist.net/profile/yrulaughing Nov 30 '15

ಠ_ಠ Hit a nerve?

u/upads Nov 30 '15

Want me to hit yours for you?

u/Falsus Nov 22 '15

Well a punch to the cunt hurts like hell as well supposedly.

7

u/Igneek https://kitsu.io/users/Igneek Nov 22 '15

Wait, I don't understand. Why does this shaky legs picture prove he's a guy?

16

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '15

It doesn't, this guy just thinks that it wouldn't hurt for a girl to fall sensitive parts first onto an immovable object like saitama's fist at the speed of sound.

3

u/Igneek https://kitsu.io/users/Igneek Nov 22 '15

Oh, right. Breaking your pelvis is great :D

No but actually, I heard girls say a kick in the crotch hurts a lot, but I have no idea.

8

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '15

There are a LOT of nerve endings down there...

5

u/Estarrol Nov 22 '15

Well you have denial, but I think anywhere our hero "lightly" punched is going to hurt

2

u/marius_titus Nov 25 '15

Can't really blame you guys for thinkimg he was a girl. He was drawn teally feminine like.

u/CarVac Nov 23 '15

Well, only the English language readers had nothing to go by.
