Western Sonic won and it's not even close anymore. All you weebs crying about muh Japanese purity can cope and seethe because SEGA themselves admitted IDW and Prime are more canon than Sonic X ever was.
Think about it - Sonic X ran for years and what did it contribute to actual game canon? Cream. That's it. Meanwhile IDW has Tangle and Whisper showing up in mobile games and getting official plushies. Prime is getting the full marketing push as official canon while Sonic X rots in the "was never canon" pile where it belongs.
And now Flynn, who cut his teeth writing American Sonic comics, is literally on the lore team helping shape the games themselves. The guy who /sthg/ used to shit on for Archie autism is now more influential on Sonic's direction than any Japanese writer has been in years. Western staff making Western interpretations of Sonic are becoming the new standard.
SEGA of America runs everything now anyway. SoJ is just collecting checks while SoA makes all the actual decisions about what counts as canon and what doesn't. The fact that they're pushing IDW and Prime as official canon while completely ignoring decades of Japanese manga and anime shows where their priorities are.
You can cry about Sonic Channel stories all you want, but when's the last time anything from those actually mattered? Meanwhile IDW characters are showing up in games and Flynn's writing is shaping how Sonic talks in official scripts.
The west figured out how to make Sonic profitable again while Japan was busy making Sonic into a furry dating sim. Cope harder, weebs. Western Sonic is the only Sonic that matters now.
This manga that everyone loves? Less important than IDW.

This is impossible to like when you have the “Thing VS Thing Japan” squad out here acting like it’s objectively the best Sonic.
This is written like early IDW. The writer literally praised IDW.
You do not speak for everyone, Sonic is not back, he was never missing.
You guys can’t cry when someone says something objective about Sonic IDW or Frontiers, then go on to be like “this is the Sonic EVERYONE loves ”
NO IT’S NOT! THERE HAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS OF SONIC FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE!
