I am so sorry that it had to come to this. I'm glad you were able to release anything at all to at least show what could have been. KZfaq sucks. You deserved better. I wish you all the luck in the world on your future projects my friend. Your work doesn't deserve to just be labeled as "made for kids" as if animation isn't a medium.

The original Nazo animation along with SMBZ were both cornerstones of my childhood, and I can't put into words how euphoric it feels watching this.

Even though it’s unfinished, I hope someone steps up and actually finishes it. This is peak as always.

"So it fits in your pocket " "What pocket?" I love this already

whoever is voicing egg man has seriously nailed the tone and delivery of the character, its actually on par with mike.

Unfinished? Yes but I’m glad it’s here in some form. Thanks for sticking with this as much as you can Chakra❤

Maybe one day a bunch of fans can come together and fully animate this to what Char wanted! And show him love

I love that in this version, it’s closer to Sonic roots but still kept the DBZ charm from the first one. The first one was more like 50/50 Sonic and DBZ but this is 75/25 I’d say which feels like a much better blend for a Sonic story

Though it truly is unfortunate that Wrath of Nazo was cancelled, what you gave us is still amazing all around! The voice acting, the animatics and animation, all of it shows how much time and effort you put into this throughout the past 9 years, as well as how much your passion for the Sonic franchise burns with this! The collective Nazo series is something a ton of us cherish, and and your creativity made that happen, and for that, I want to say thank you Chakra-X!

metal sonic coming to sonic’s defense was the best character development in any sonic media i’ve ever

Nazo: *Nearly gets womped by a metal counterpart of himself.* Sonic: “First time?”

The fact that you nerfed nazo’s chaos control in a logical and straightforward way is so freaking cool and genius.

Praying fans come together and finish this masterpiece. The storyboards and voice acting. Everything about this looks great!

"strange isnt it" "Get a load of this" I love this community 😢

I noticed that some of the sound effects for Eggman's giant mech at 11:45 come from a certain obscure PS2 game. That was a DEEP cut reference I was not expecting. You sir, are a man of culture.

9 years....its been 9 whole years, but we're finally getting the sequel we thought would never come. I have been having a really bad few days recently, and this was exactly what i needed to lift my spirits...thank you, Aaron.

Eggman went out like a boss, seeing a childhood villain get so much love is so great to see! That “Get a load of this!” Gave me some chills.

Dude, I haven't geeked out this hard in a MINUTE. The dialogue among all the characters was so natural and perfectly complimented the intensity of the action of this beautiful animation/animatic . The entire voice cast absolutely CRUSHED their performances as well. Thank you for bringing this to us, man. Much love

"My power gave you life And your machines gave me mine Strange isn't it" okay that was an amazing nod to the ova bravo

I think I can speak for most people who grew up with this little fan series when I say this: "You're as beautiful as the day I lost you." This brought be back almost an entire decade and its still gives us the same happiness, if not more, seeing this on the big screen. Youve done an outstanding job sir and we cannot thank you enough for your efforts. We hope to see your talents in the future 💕

The fact that we're getting anything relating to this project is amazing! The first teaser came out when I was in 5th grade, and now I'm in my first year of college 💀

Hearing Nazo's voice again was such a trip. I love how you've incorporated way more Sonic music to fit the scenarios, the writing was super fun and the animation was so damn fluid and flashy, it's astonishing how much you were able to get done. It captures a lot more of that Sonic style, while still having those Dragon Ball elements from the original. You did great, man!

the wait is finally over... i was 11 when the first teaser released and now i finally get to watch the first act as an 18 year old. can't wait to see what you've got in store for us!

WAIT BRO NAZO IS BACK?!? MY CHILDHOOD HAS JUST BEEN REVIVED OMG

7:44 So, when Dr. Eggman brought back Nazo by using whatever's left of him, and he used some spare robot parts that allow him to absorb the Master Emerald's Power. And for those robot parts are from his old Mecha Sonic projects, specifically, Mecha Sonic Mk.II from Sonic 3 & Knuckles video game. Since Mecha Sonic Mk.II was capable of absorbing the Master Emerald's power and transformed into his Super form, it's safe to say that Nazo can do the same thing in order to transform into his form of Chaos Nazo, a form likely to be much more powerful than his Perfect Form in the previous fanfilm and then some.

After all this time its finally here! I've lost count of how many times I've watched this over and over. I hope my performance as Sonic lives up to the legacy of Nazo Unleashed, the original 3 acts mean so much to me and its such an honor to work with the man responsible for a huge part of my childhood

This story of nazo is peak sonic fanfiction. I am so happy I was able to see this. I saw the original around when it first came out and now I'm 21. What a time to be alive

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS WAS 10 YEARS AGO??? TIME GOES BY SO FAST 😭

I think the doctor forgot something; Nazo didnt try to RULE the world. His aim was to ovliterate it! It is so good to see this beautiful bastard back in action! Please keep working on this master piece! Us loyal Nazo fans will be here when its finished

11:54 NOW GET A LOAD OF THIS WAS EPIC AS HELL LMAO 🤣

You did a excellent job on this! The voice actors were awesome too. The plot was fun and the animatics were easy to understand. As a member of both Newgrounds and Sonic communities I thank you for all you've done. 👍

Unfinished or not, this is a goddamn MASTERPIECE!! The callback to Mecha Sonic’s ability to use the Master Emerald, the amazing voice acting, the animatics themselves! Thank you so much for giving us this at the end of 2023! 🤘

It's beautiful. Don't sell yourself short, man. This is far more than a consolation prize. This is the strong foundation of a great artistic project that is the result of nearly a decade of struggle. This is a testament to hard work, worthy of praise and deserving to see its completion, even if done by completed by another. Stand proud, Chakra. You've done well, and I can only thank you for reviving this piece of my childhood

"My power gave you life, and your machines gave me mine, strange ISN'T IT!!!!!", I love the references

2, I was 2 when the original animation came out. Here we are 16 years later, with some top notch animation to boot

I remember when i was a kid and saw the Nazo Unleashed animation, and now, nine years after the announcement of a sequel, it just...fills me with such joy. I don't care if this isn't finished, the mere feeling of having it here is just...pure happiness for me. Mister Chakra-X, i admire you, you're one of my main inspiration to focus on drawing comics and animation, i can't thank you enough for making such amazing animations, if you're reading this, i just want to let you know. We all thank you for all the passion and effort you put in your many projects, good luck in the future, grettings from Argentina, happy new year and cheers!

The voice done to Nazo is so good, I can't stop rewatching this.

The main takeaway I get from this is that because this project was so overambitious, it shows that you truly possess great passion when it comes to your ideas and projects. The fact you started this almost 9 years ago now and still wanted to find a way for us to see it even though your priorities shifted is something I really appreciate! Maybe someday, this project will see some form of completion, maybe not by your hands, but by someone just as passionate as you because it definitely deserves it! Much respect to you and I'm looking forward to acts 2 & 3. Merry late Christmas & early Happy New Year to you as well!

Chaos Nazo is a fire idea since he's much more powerful, but also has the power to manipulate chaos energy. Including the same energy that flows in Super Sonic. (Kinda reminds me of anti venom from the comics) can't wait to see the acts 2 and 3! 🔥🔥🔥

The sound design, writing, and voice acting is so good that sometimes I don't even notice the unfinished animation. You were straight up COOKING, my friend!

The fact that these "unfinished storyboards," gave me the same nostalgic and amazing feelings I feel for Nazo Unleashed, goes to show that this man is a gift from God. We should all be thankful that Chakra-X is willing to upload this. We love you buddy! This is amazing. And it will only get better with each part being uploaded.

Even though it couldn’t be finished… YOUR STILL A LEGEND TO US ALL

Nazo Unleashed, Final Fantasy Sonic X and sonic fan games were my first introduction to the Sonic series. Thank you for making my childhood. We will keep supporting you no matter what you make!

I can't believe you actually posted at least ACT 1. Thats a big surprise, for everyone

I feel bad this didn't come out, but I feel worse for all the patreon members who *paid* for *nothing*. This could've been earth shattering. But KZfaq has been known to not be kind to animators. Still, its such a shame considering SNU is one of my favourite videos of all time and got me into sonic and Dragon ball. Thank you Chakra-x.

The fucking chills I got when Chaos Nazo said, "My power gave you life...and your machines gave me mine...Strange isn't it!?", before blasting it away. Hilarious, yet badass, callback to the iconic Sonic OVA line there's been countless memes of. God, this was absolutely worth the wait to see what you managed to create over these years. Stuff like this right here is why I adore the Sonic community. When animated fan content is made, it COOKS hard! Fantastic work, man. Can't wait to see the other stuff. You may not have been able to complete Wrath of Nazo, animation wise, but I can't thank you enough for still uploading what was created. Don't ever look back on this project ashamed. Be proud of how your work continues to bring inspiration out in other aspiring creators.

After seeing the teaser 7 years ago, I was so hyped for the actual product, and unfinished or not this turned out EXTREMELY WELL! Along with the voice actors killing their roles! Thank you for giving us this incredible piece of art.

11:31 Now THIS is Eggman!!! Amazingly portrayed, Chakra!

"I am the Eggman." Hearing him say that declaration is fitting.

would've loved to have seen the rest of it. Felt nostalgia hearing nazo's voice again

9:09...This is the best OVA reference I have ever seen

Even if it’s not 100% complete, it’ll still be awesome

Oh my God you have no idea how happy this makes us! Who cares if it's unfinished! The true fans are delighted that this officially has a 2nd part

The fact we got anything from the legend is a blessing.

Seeing and hearing Nazo talk after all these years is a trip and a half. I don't care what state of production this is/was in, it's incredible and you should still be proud of all of your work. Nazo's an absolute goat and you're an absolute legend, Chakra-X. Can't wait to see Act 2 and 3 in the (hopefully near) future!!!

Absolute legend for releasing this before the new year! A bit unfortunate that the full release won’t be happening but I’ll take what I can get lol, bless your heart ❤️

The animation being unfinished isn't a problem as it's clear you've put a lot of time and effort into it and seeing the animatic is such a treat!! You did very excellent on this!! 😊💜💜

An unfinished project, but I’m not complaining. We at least get to see this masterpiece in action. I’ll always be here to support you Chakra!

If fans come together to finish this, I hope they try to mimic the same animation style, cuz even tho I like animation collabs they sometimes differ too much in quality, and this only deserves the best of the best.

I'M IN TEARS, I FEEL LIKE I'VE WAITED A LIFETIME TO HEAR THAT VOICE AGAIN, THIS IS BEYOND ANYTHING I COULD HAVE EVER ANTICIPATED 💖💖💖

THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED!! I’m so sorry what you’ve been through and I’m glad we were able to get something awesome. Still, it’s good to see you back.

It's incredible... I really can't describe this feeling but honestly, it feels like completion... Even tho, this is not the final product with all the quality of animation we could have become, this really puts the biggest smile on my face. Just hearing all the characters interacting with eachother and knowing how all of this would have happend really makes me happy! Thank you so much for giving us these Animatics instead of throwing all you hard work away - You really made me happy!

Thanks chakra-x. You're the main reason why i started animating in the first place. I wish you and your family a great new years!

It’s so crazy to see an animation from my childhood being brought back to life again. Even if it’s unfinished, it’s clear how much hard work and the vision you brought to this project. Thank you Chakra-X and all others who contributed to making such a memorable experience for sonic fans across the world👏

Apologies in advance for the long comment but, I really need to express myself. I was 11, or maybe even 10, when I saw first the first time Nazo: Unleashed. It was the DX version, now posted 9 years ago. This animation means an incalculable amount to me. Not only was this the first ever fan animation I had seen in my time spent on the internet up to that point, not only was this animated short film (allow me to call it that) what got me into the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise, this film was what got me into art as a whole. 6 years have passed. In the meantime I grew up, completed Sonic Colors DS and Wii, moved out a few times, made a reddit account to post my art which was still exclusively Sonic oriented at the time, tried to make a few youtube channels, completed Sonic Adventure, completed Sonic Adventure 2, bought an Xbox 360, completed Sonic '06 (and fell in love with it), got a gamecube, never finished Sonic Heroes, made friends, lost some, got in and out of relationships, and now here I am, halfway through my final year of high school. On christmas this year I finally got a graphic tablet to start seriously trying to make animation and next year I will be going into art school, and I have you and this fan animation you made 13 years ago to thank for it. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't aware until reading some comments before watching that the project had been (mostly?) cancelled as I only looked through your channel extrememly periodically. Nonetheless, and even though the animation is unfinished, and even though the animation itself is only(?) 12 minutes, I was still bouncing in my seat the whole damn time, my eyes teary, constantly repeating out loud "This is so fucking cool!!". I don't care that I waited a third of my current life for this, at least to me, it was worth the wait. Thank you for everything Aaron. - A kid with big dreams

After all these years it's finally here, thank you for the hard work

Even though it wasn’t finished, this was amazing, and literally inspiring. The animation has improved drastically, and the story is cohesive and so enjoyable. I’m so sorry you weren’t able to finish it, but you still came out with something great. I can’t wait for act 2

Even if it's incomplete, at least it's good that we know the story Thank you Chakra-X for creating a series that marked my childhood and that of many people, your work is incredible

Finished or not this was totally fucking worth it holy SHIT

I actually can’t describe how giddy this made me. I know it’s not in the finished state you would have liked it to be but just know, I feel like I’m in highschool again. This is just so nostalgic and amazing. Also the parts that are finalized it’s so clear how much you’ve grown as an artist and I have to give that kudos to

9 years in the making, I almost can’t believe I’m getting to see this at all, I can feel every once of devotion to this project and it was well worth the wait.

I knew there was some hope for this series. I knew it would rise again someday….

Dude that opening is such a nostalgia trip. Damn near shed a tear. Thank you so much for releasing what you had of this!

This is a great christmas gift for older fans even tho it was cancelled i’m happy to see that the animatic is public so fans can finish it maybe

I am so hyped for Sonic: The Wrath of Nazo I can't wait for it and this was EXTREMELY hype and the fact Sonic got one shot by Nazo in his Chaos form scared me and proves Nazo is a serious threat

I’d been waiting for this since I was in middle school. I understand why it’s being released how it is, and appreciate even part of this being released

ITS BEEN SO LONG MAN, IM GLAD THAT THIS IS BACK, TIME TO RELIVE SOME MEMORIES 💯💯🤞🏾

Don’t worry bro, we still enjoying what you made of it

Bro I can't believe it's here after so long, even if it's in animatic form, it's still amazing. I hope you know how much your work has inspired so many people, myself included. Thank you so much for doing this at all, we're wishing you the best man👍

Thank you for making this, because of you sonic was a large part of my childhood.

I remember watching nazo unleashed as a kid, you come a long way man and your your animation is fire, thank u for making my childhood❤️🔥

ITS HERE even If it wasn't fully complete I don't care at least we get something nazo unleashed will always be a huge part of my childhood I'm so happy this is real

The Nazo vs Sonic and friends fight series was a part of my childhood. You made it all happen and I can't thank you enough. This series you cultivated although isn't finished or polished, it is more than enough in my eyes. Thank you for your years of dedication to the series :)

Can y’all shut up and enjoy what we have. Great work y’all!!!

6:56 eggman, you dun goofed. though I got to say, near the end: I got mad respect for Eggman. He's just staring down his death from Nazo's Chaotic Blast, and he's taking it like he enjoyed what his life had. If that was the real eggman and he just got vaporized, Mad respect for his last stand. if he somehow pulled off a robot doppleganger like he did in Sonic heroes; then he's got platinum Balls to tick Nazo off this big.

ok, hear me out the wrath of Nazo, but as a comic dub, no animation, but proper drawing I would say yes to that

This was honestly great to watch, it’s unfortunate that it is unfinished but this is a fan film I’ve stuck with since my childhood and so glad I get to see at least a form of it. Can’t wait to see acts 2 and 3 when they come out

Chakra-X your one of the most nostalgic animators i know on youtube. despite this being incomplete i still found this very entertaining and fun to watch.Keep animating bro

I like how tails kept the emeralds in the tornado, that way sonic won't have to waste his time trying to find them.

I remember the OG animation back in the day. It's great to see how much better ur animating is progressing, no matter if it's finished or not.

This was a pretty cool to watch and I’m glad to see Nazo again

Thank you so much for sharing this!!! Even if it’s unfinished, every sketch and voice line, is filled with passion and love!!!

I saw this 2 hours after it was released and I stayed silent for most of it... I was just so amazed for the fact I've waited most of my life (I'm 22) for this to release... when it finish I State silent because I was Lost for words... I still can't assimilate the fact that this was released and it was beautiful... Thank you Chara. May the Chaos Gods bless you now and ever. it's just like being 6 years old all over again

Dude, you need to finish this thing. Already 100K in less than a day. My God this would be the most fire Sonic media in years.

Thank you SO much for finally releasing this! This project and Nazo Unleashed were one of my first inspirations to become an animator. I loved every minute of this Act, and I can't wait to see what comes next!

I’ve waiting my whole life for this! And now im officially 19 and soon to be 20 next year! Time has flown by! Even if it’s unfinished, this is still great to watch!

5:00 OMG dat remastered off SHADIC !!! ...may the force be with you man ! your work is amazing !

Shoutout to the voice actors. They're amazing. Especially eggman's

This....would have been LEGENDARY🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Ohh man my childhood is back. I know it’s unfinished but honestly I’m just happy to see it. Cheers to Chakra-X 😎
