"'''{{PAGENAME}}'''", known as "'''Kaze no Omoide'''" (風の思い出) in Japan, is the 52nd episode in the first season of ''[[Sonic X]]''. This episode marked the conclusion of the series in Japan.

==Summary==
[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]'s friends--and enemies--have all returned home to their own world, but Sonic himself has been conspicuously absent for a week. With his nemesis gone, [[Dr. Eggman]] engages in increasingly ridiculous, but harmless, displays of power, hoping to draw him out.

[[Amy Rose|Amy]], meanwhile, has considered [[Cream the Rabbit|Cream]] and [[Vanilla the Rabbit|Vanilla]]'s proposal that she might live with them. Just as she is about to explain why she won't agree to it, Eggman arrives, blaring his plans for world domination over the entire suburb. When Amy attacks with her hammer, he only rubs in the fact that Sonic has not returned to her. As Amy unleashes her fury on Eggman, [[Knuckles the Echidna|Knuckles]] and [[Rouge the Bat|Rouge]] also sit together, each missing Sonic and razzing the other about it until it escalates into a full-scale battle.

Drawn out by the noise, [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] flies the Tornado to the scene. He attacks Eggman with massive firepower, aided by a transformation mode that [[Chuck Thorndyke|Chuck]] had installed in secret. Eggman responds with an incredibly persistent tracking missile that Tails can't shake off. His display finished, Eggman orders [[Decoe and Bocoe]] to press the self-destruct button on the missile before it hits Tails, and when they confess that there isn't one, he becomes distraught. It seems to be all over for Tails, until a flash of light from the moon comes closer and turns out to be [[Super Sonic]].

Sonic blows up the battleship, but rather than being frustrated, Eggman is happy that their old game is on again. Knuckles and Rouge see Sonic flying overhead, and their fight also turns from angry to playful. When Amy sees him, she runs after him until he lands...at ''her'' house, of all places. In tears, she confesses that she had just made the decision to wait for him forever, and begs him to tell her that he loves her. In response, Sonic hands her a rose and gives her an answer--which is silent to the viewer--and she embraces him. (The English dub changes this scene significantly: Amy demands that he never leave her again, to which he audibly replies that he never will.)

Six years later in his own world, [[Chris Thorndyke|Chris]] has become a skilled scientist himself. He is just putting the finishing touches on the dimensional transporter, in an attempt to cross to Sonic's world. Reminiscing with his classmates, he recalls the last night Sonic spent in his world. Sonic had the seven [[Chaos Emeralds]] with him throughout their trip to the villa, and therefore could go home whenever he wanted to...but he took Chris on one last run around the lake before using [[Chaos Control]] to go home.

<!--==Trivia==
{{trivia}}

* This episode does not have eyecatch cards.
* In the original version Sonic tells Amy that he loves her

* This is the only episode in the entire Sonic franchise in which Sonic is seen crying and it is the only episode that circumvents the rule : " when Sonic is in a lot of pain, he doesn't show his tears to anyone" by letting us know that Chris is the only one in the entire franchise who has seen Sonic cry for someone he cares about, which in this case is Chris since he is , in X, a second younger brother and best friend to Sonic  

* While working on the machine , Chris explains that by doing so, that is his work , he will prove whether his theories are correct. In the original version it is not explicitly explained what these theories are but it is seen at the end of 51 in the English adaptation that the theory in question is : whether the two worlds are meant to be together again and so it is  " said" implicitly in the original version

* In the English version there is no off camera song that appeared in episode 26 including the second part but instead there is: " Chris theme " while in the original version there are these two songs where they go into a lot of depth about what the characters think from each other (Sonic ; Amy and Chris) 

* It is one of the rare episodes in which Sonic is actually seen to be more vulnerable since here again is tangent evidence, albeit in the form of a flashback, that Sonic cares very much for Chris

* His friends in the English version say time went by at the same speed as Sonic while in the original version they say it all seemed like a dream to them because of how quickly time went by.-->
