'''''Sonichu'' #5''' is the sixth issue of the ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'' series.
'''''Tetris 99''''' is an online version of the tile-matching video game ''Tetris'', developed by Arika, and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]] in February 2019. The software is free, but only to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Incorporating elements of the battle royale genre, ''Tetris 99'' has up to 99 players competing simultaneously to complete rows with falling tetrominoes, which in turn send attacks in the form of "garbage rows" to other players with the goal of knocking them out of the game.

The game is further notable for being one of the few things that Chris is genuinely good at, his performance documented by several individuals who have encountered him in this game. Chris has taken pride in his ''Tetris 99'' skills, going as far as to brag about his success in this game on Twitter.


By this point in his life [[Chris]] was obsessed with [[Megan]], and it's painfully obvious in this issue. For one thing, he's suddenly using ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' cards all the damn time. Chris brushes premises like his [[Love Quest]] and the Chris/[[Wes]]/[[Sarah Hammer]] triangle under the rug so that he can introduce [[Sailor Megtune]] and the storyline that she is clearly meant to be Chris's sweetheart but is mysteriously uncomfortable with his affections. Reading Megan's dialogue in this issue suggests he has no earthly idea why she would refuse his advances, and Chris doesn't even invent a fictional explanation for the sake of drama.

Episode 13 introduces the first major multi-issue story arc, in which [[Mary Lee Walsh]] finally sets her sights higher than assaulting a single moron and instead invades his entire town, [[CWCville]], as well imprisoning [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|his sister]] in a dark mirror. The elements introduced here would continue to play out until Walsh's final defeat in [[Episode 21]].
 
This issue also abandons any pretense of featuring [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] in any meaningful role. In commentary on the ''[[Sonichu 5 Official Videobook|Sonichu 5 Videobook]]'', Chris explains that his [[Barbara|mom]] has forbidden him from writing any more [[Sub-Episodes]] about his real life, so he does the only logical thing: he makes his life the ''main'' Episode. Whereas issues [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]] and [[Sonichu 3|''Sonichu'' #3]] set Sonichu aside to introduce new characters, and [[Sonichu 4|''Sonichu'' #4]] was a special focusing on Chris, ''Sonichu'' #5 is simply a blatant and unjustified spotlight on Chris, with the titular character of the franchise taking a back seat to him, Megan, and even a [[Patti-Chan|dead dog]].
