Hi :D

It's not just in that scene, either! The episode overall is peak unbreakable bond. Sonic's concern is the very thing that drives the plot as he tries to find a new sidekick, wHICH HE'S ONLY DOING BECAUSE TAILS GOT HURT AND IT SCARED HIM!!

Just look at his face. You can almost feel his heart stop from the other side of the screen. 😭

Aaand it starts again when he realizes Tails is alive. Pure relief.

But of course, Tails has Sonic's fighting spirit. He shows up despite the danger because he, like Sonic, would never just leave the other out to dry when they needed help. And he DOES help Sonic in this ep when he saves him from drowning!

And then. They do. The THING ™!

This episode is so heartwarming, and I rarely see anyone talking about it. It's the first episode and it does such a great job of showing Sonic and Tails' dynamic and why their team is unreplaceable. It's almost like they're some kind of-

Unbreakable bond

...

Yeah, anyway-
