Sonichu is a hybrid character created by Christine Weston Chandler in 2005, famously merging Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu. What began as a personal comic series evolved into one of the most expansive and documented pieces of internet subculture history. The meme typically highlights the surreal 'CWC-ville' lore, the creator's idiosyncratic art style, and the iconic 'Zap to the Extreme' catchphrase. It is widely used by online historians and meme enthusiasts to reference the complexities of early internet fandom, cringe culture, and the legendary status of the Sonichu universe.
