Title: Nazo
Description: He's a mystery

I think some of you may have heard of this mysterious character. His name is Nazo. All that is known about him is a mystery...the only clue of what he is is one picture:

Here's what I found off of Wiki:
QUOTE
When Sonic X was first announced, the original pilot to promote the show showed a lot of concepts that ended up being changed or left unused by the time the series began to air in Japan. One of the more mysterious concepts left on the cutting room floor was near the end of the pilot - a glowing silver hedgehog. The only reference people were given to this Hedgehog's name, came from a file name displayed on Sega of Japan's website - Nazo.jpg. "Nazo" translates to "Mystery" in Japanese. Since then, "Nazo" has become the subject of much debate and discussion among Sonic X fans. Everything known about the mysterious "Nazo" can be learned by simply viewing the one and only image of him, as neither TMS nor Sonic Team have formally commented on what he might have been. Nazo might also have been what Silver the Hedgehog was before his first appearance.


So what do you guys think he is? What do you think of him? Do you think he's a good concept for the future?

He looks evil....

Yay! Evil hedgie! *shot*

I wish they did have Nazo, and as a villian. He looks to be better suited as a villian. People would be like "Oh no, not another charrie!" but it would have been interesting to see what they had planned for him.

Alternately (SP?), she might be another form of Sonic, or Sonic's super form but someone messed up the colours. lol

Yes, I have heard of Nazo. I've actually seen a flash on him! ^_^

I thought he was supposed to be a template for Super Sonic or Silver way back when. I was thinking of using him for one of my fics awhile ago. Don't know if I still will or not.

I actually think Nazo was prototype version for Super Sonic before Sonic X was released. Some people also think Nazo is "Hyper Sonic". After minutes of searching I found this:
Nazo
I think this is an official screenshot but I'm not sure.

that picture is a backround

I think its a screenshot being used as a background, then plonked onto deviantart.

I think Nazo was a discarded char. Although I've seen Sonic turn into a black/dark purple hedgehog on a Sonic X episode when he got really angry so maybe its another form when he experiences a certain emotion or when he has a load of planet eggs (as opposed to chaos emeralds causing Super Sonic). Afterall that grin looks like it comes from Sonic.

Well as far as I know Nazo is mysterious character that appeared at sonic once time!But no one knows why he didn't have appeared anymore in any place!Will he appear in a next Sonic serie?But in general the question is who is Nazo?

Does not exist, and was the prototype of supersonic in the piolit episode in japan, its a mystery because the producers want you to think its someone new, its just the prototype for sonics super form look lolz

Blues Drive Monster - June 29, 2007 04:16 PM (GMT)
I have to agree, I think that it's probably a new type of super form for Sonic. As said, his grin looks like Sonic's. Also, if you look closely, he has green eyes like Sonic. Any character have green eyes, but yeah. ^^; But also, the shininess kind of points to a super form of some type, because no character is naturally that shiny.

The shape of the eyes throws that theory off a little though.

Nazo is comepletely fake and will not appear in ANY Sonic series.
And you are all saying he's a "Mystery" that's his NAME in english, his japanese Name is Nazo, which MEANS mystery.

Shadow_the_vampire_slayer - June 30, 2007 11:48 AM (GMT)
Now that I think about it, he's probably a character who was made by the producers of Sonic X and thrown on websites like wikipedia and fan sites to rake in viewers, who wanna see him. Like said by Naruto, the name "Nazo" means Mystery so when people realise what the word means they think "OMG I must know who this is" then they start watching the show every day in order to work out who this Nazo is but he never appears because he was never used in the shows. Quite cunning actually, very shreud. There are a lot of hidden cons like this to get people to do things, we all have to wise up to it.

Cosmo X Tails LOVER - June 30, 2007 11:03 PM (GMT)
thats a complete waste of advritisement and time, it was a piolit episode, all secret, only the producers and team knew about it, and then it leaked, so people are all "OH MY GOD!!! BLAH BLAH NAZO!" its completly proposterous, im not trying to bash anyone.

Gale - July 7, 2007 09:40 PM (GMT)
It's likely either a promotion made by the creators of the show, or a prototype of some sort for a powered-up Sonic. Judging by the title "Nazo", it was probably the former. It'd be nice to see some official confirmation, though.
