=== Chaos Control ===
Chaos Control is the act of using the power of Chaos from the Chaos Emeralds to do several different actions. This usually entails pausing time to teleport to another location. Shadow is able to use this power the most and is more well-versed in it compared to others. Sonic, Shadow and Silver have all used Chaos Control with the Chaos Emeralds in some manner. Sonic and Shadow have used it to teleport from one location to another. Sonic, Shadow and Silver have also used it to travel in time.
According to Shadow the Hedgehog (2005), Shadow can use Chaos Control when he is filled with justice.

=== Tsundere ===
A Tsundere is a type of person that is not completely honest with their feelings towards another person. This term is usually used for Anime or Manga characters in Japanese medias. A tsundere has feelings for another person, but often acts cold or mean towards the person they have feelings for. This can range from them giving the one they like a cold shoulder to them degrading the other to them being violent with the other. Though harsh, they do like the person and don't actually mean to be harsh or mean to the person, though usually they can't help themselves due to embarrassment or from denying their feelings for the other. Eventually, tsunderes tend to warm up and stop acting harshly to the one they like, especially when they see the other in danger or hurt. Sometimes tsunderes can break character and be caring towards the other if they are in danger or are hurt.
=== Gap Moe ===
Gap Moe is the popular concept of someone's traits or appearances contrasting how they actually act. For example, Shadow may seem cold and stoic on the outside or in attitude, but he can act sweet sometimes due to being a Tsundere. Gap Moe tends to be very appealing to people due to two seemingly contradicting things being complementary at the same time. There are many examples of this in Japanese medias. The Tsundere type is under the gap moe category due to the two contradicting complementary points.
=== BL or Boy's Love ===
BL, or Boy's Love, is a genre in Japanese Manga or Anime where it is a story about two males who are in a romantic relationship with each other. This genre is different from the genre Yaoi where Yaoi focuses more on explicit sexual content compared to BL (This distinction of terms is mostly used by Westerners to make it easier to understand). This genre is also very different from Bara, a genre that also focuses on explicit sexual content, but it's mainly between extremely muscular men. BL, on the other hand, is a more open term and can have some sexual content, but it is not as explicit. BL is also a genre that is catered to mainly young females as the general audience. For something to be considered BL, would be for the series to mainly focus on the relationship between the two males, but other series can feel like they are like BL depending on how it is portrayed. Though BL is a fictional category in Japanese medias for when two males are in a relationship, this is different from "wokeism," due to Japanese seeing BL as fictional compared to "wokeism" pushing things in reality and politically, usually for an agenda. For many years, and somewhat currently, Japan looks down on same gender relationships in their country in real life/reality. This is why they view BL differently since they see it as completely fictional.
*Note: Not all same gender relationships are "woke" since not all have the intention to insert or promote politics, particularly American politics.

=== Propaganda ===
"Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented. Propaganda can be found in a wide variety of different contexts."

=== Subliminal Messages ===
Subliminal Messages are subtle messages that are fed to an individual to either manipulate their thoughts on something or have them do something in a specific way according to someone else's wishes.
=== Echo Chamber ===
Echo Chamber is when individuals speak of an idea or ideas repeatedly among a small group in a manner where they block out other's ideas negatively so that they don't listen to others or consider others opinions. Usually this is done to have themselves think that their ideas or opinions are the only ideas or opinions so that they believe everyone, or a lot of people, agrees with them or praises them.
=== Insider Trading ===
Insider Trading is when an individual in the company takes confidential company data and tells it to those who are not part of the company for personal gain. This can be to gain money in stocks or give leaks to others for other selfish and personal reasons.
=== Leaks ===
Confidential company data that has been told or shown to the public illegally before the official company announces it. The data can consist of anything that is supposed to be a secret. In this case, it can range from games, comic chapters/covers, toys, and animations that haven't been released to the public by the company yet. It can also include inner workings and information. There are several ways this can happen. One of those ways is by corrupt employees telling outsiders this information to prematurely release to the public. The one who releases this information without consent of the company is called a "leaker." Leakers usually do this for clout or money and tend to have "special connections" with corrupt employees in the company. Besides SEGA, many other gaming companies also experience this, like Nintendo and Square Enix. No company likes when this happens to them and they have displayed their displeasure. If they can, they will file a cease and desist, sue, or do copyright take downs to protect their workers and their hard work and the company.
=== Bystander ===
A Bystander is an individual who does not act and only watches as something is going on. Usually this is used when something bad is going on and others stand by and do nothing.
