PROTIP:
We once again advise you to never ever directly engage with Chris nor attempt to get him banned from the places he's been to. On the off-chance that you cross paths with Chris, the absolute most that you should do is get some kind of documentation of Chris, but never to directly engage with him; otherwise, it is best to leave Chris alone. To put it more bluntly: DO NOT attempt to stalk Chris upon seeing him, and NEVER speak to Chris in ANY way, shape, or form, or to anyone at his current place of residence. You do NOT want to be a part of Christory.
|
On 27 March 2023, Chris was released from jail, with the only explanation being "released by court order". Beginning on 1 May 2023, sightings of Chris were reported in various places around Chesterfield County, Virginia.
Most of the sightings were initially posted on the r/ChrisChanSonichu subreddit. So far, all sightings have involved Chris either shopping or playing trading card games in public, and no sightings have thus far resulted in anyone becoming a regular contact with Chris – meaning that Chris has, for the most part, been left alone despite these public sightings receiving extensive documentation.
This period of time has gone through a number of name changes, with it being referred to as The Chase (in reference to the Doctor Who serial) from May 1-6. However, people felt that calling it "The Chase" would encourage weens to actually 'chase' Chris, so from May 7-August 17 it was called the Post-Jail Saga. Eventually, CWCki users agreed to rename it to the Third Exile.
Walmart (May)
On 1 May 2023, Chris was spotted shopping at a Walmart in Midlothian, Virginia, a western suburb of Richmond in Chesterfield County.
On the same day, a Reddit user called DarylMcGoofyGuy posted a thread with a photo of Chris, claiming that a friend had sent the picture.[1] On Twitter, more photos were posted by an account named Speedymctweet, again claiming a friend had sent them.[2] In the photos, Chris's hair has returned to its natural brown color, and he also appears thinner, congruent with his last mugshot. He also has a Sonichu medallion, most likely a Mark V version.
Another Reddit user, Alternative_Roof1940, subsequently posted photos of Chris from the security cameras at the Walmart.[3]
Video
Alternative_Roof1940 also uploaded a brief video clip of Chris walking away outside of the store.

He also claimed:[4]
Chris approached the electronic department asking for a flash drive and also ended up buying a switch (yes......again). The second photo is from the electronics when he was asking |
There was a large black van chris got into about 8 stores down driven by a large black woman. I didn't take any photos of the vehicle for the sake of the woman driving |
No, there was no group. Chris was alone the entire time up until chris got into the car with 1 single person parked 8 stores away |
The address of the Walmart was not revealed by any of the observers, but the exterior view shown in Alternative_Roof1940's video indicates that it is located at 14501 Hancock Village Street. This location happens to be 10 miles (16 km) by road from the main campus of Gateway Homes, lending support to the hypothesis that Chris is residing there. One of the rules of Gateway Homes states “No registered sex offenders or individuals who have committed a sexual offense will be considered”,[5] although Chris is not a registered offender and has not been formally convicted of incest, making it unclear if his charge poses an issue for admission. Without confirmation, we cannot say for sure where Chris is residing. Coincidentally, the Walmart is only 4 miles (6 km) from Manchester High School, which Chris attended from 1996 to 2000.
Battlegrounds
On 2 May 2023, Chris was spotted playing cards at the game store Battlegrounds, also in Midlothian, around 11 miles north of Walmart he was shopping on May 1st and a half hour drive from his speculated Gateway Homes. The photo was posted by Euclid_Class_Object to Reddit on the same day presumably. [6]
Euclid Class Object sourced the photo from a member of the "Zodiac Duelist" Yu-Gi-Oh Facebook group.
On the 5th, Battlegrounds set their Facebook store page to private, most likely due to ween activity.
Chris was wearing the same Mark V medallion he was wearing in the Walmart photos.
Chesterfield Towne Center
On 3 May 2023, for the third time in a row, Chris was spotted outside a Donatos Pizza at Chesterfield Towne Center in Chesterfield County, about 16 miles (25 km) north of the speculated Gateway Homes and over 2 miles (4 km) east of Battlegrounds. The photo was posted to Reddit by Pure_Lingonberry_677, who also claims his friend took the photo [7]
This is the first sighting where Chris is aware that he is being photographed. Chris appears to be put off and even nervous, something uncharacteristic of him before the Jail Saga, though Chris could just be caught off-guard.
Also, the Sonichu medallion itself has also somehow turned its face towards the camera; whether this is due to Chris moving fast enough for the medallion to bounce naturally off of Chris, or that the medallion itself is possessed by the same forces set to bring about the Dimensional Merge is uncertain.
Earthbound Trading Company
On 3 May 2023 a reddit user called sagehazes who works as a cashier mentioned in a comment on the Chesterfield Towne Center sighting thread that they had rung Chris up at the store where they work:
came into my store and signed the receipt "sonichu" |
At the time sagehazes did not elaborate or provide evidence.
On 27 May 2023 sagehazes rang Chris up again, and on 29 May they rang him up a third time. That same day, sagehazes posted a picture of Chris in line at the register and a picture of his signature on a receipt. While the pictures on Reddit are from the 27 May sighting, sagehazes claims that they also took pictures during the 29 May sighting. It remains to be seen if those will be uploaded as well.[8]
In the thread, sagehazes did not name the store but described it as "a hippie/new age type store".[9] One Reddit user identified the store as Earthbound Trading Company, a clothing and new-age chain which has a location in Chesterfield Towne Center. Photographs of the mall store on Google Maps show that the store's ceiling matches the ceiling visible in sagehazes' photo.
According to sagehazes, Chris had been to the shop at least twice, once near the end of April and again on 27 May. Sagehazes described his purchases as "usually jewelry and crystals" and described Chris as looking relatively normal (by his standards) but emitting an unhealthy odor:[9]
it was definitely funky with a hint of shit |
pure shit I had to breathe through my mouth very shallowly |
Sagehazes also claimed that Chris was talking to himself while in the store.[9]
One notable change from early May is that Chris's hair has been dyed a bright teal color. Also conspicuous is the absence of the Sonichu medallion, presumably to avoid recognition by weens. On closer inspection, however, the back of a necklace can be seen on his neck, as well as what looks to be a bump in the shape of the medallion under his clothes, so it is likely he has simply hidden it under his shirt.
The signature reads "J. Christ Chan Sonichu", showing that Chris's Jesus delusions remain strong after being released from jail.
Modern Table Top Gaming
On 30 May 2023, a now-deleted Reddit user Literally-poop spotted Chris playing Magic: The Gathering in an unspecified location and posted a photo of him to r/ChrisChanSonichu the same day.[10] The Sonichu Medallion is once again presumably hidden under Chris's shirt.
User SaleneDreams identified the store as Modern Table Top Gaming in Chester, a community in eastern Chesterfield County.[11] Photos of Modern Table Top Gaming on Google Maps confirm that the chairs and table in the store match those in the photo and that the framed picture behind Chris had been blacked out because it prominently displayed the store's name. The store is 15 miles (24 km) east of Gateway Homes.
Williamsburg Premium Outlets
On 7 June 2023, Chris was spotted buying Ben and Jerry's at Williamsburg Premium Outlets in Williamsburg, Virginia with two women, one of whom was in a wheelchair. On the same day, user CardboardJoJo claimed on r/ChrisChanSonichu that Chris had complimented their dog, initially without any photos and refusing to state where this had happened.[12]
CardboardJoJo wrote:
Won’t say where, but similar to where they’ve been sighted in May. Was walking my dog and a person in leggings and a jeans skirt said “That is just the cutest dog!” and I immediately recognized their voice. I was shook and just told them “thank you!” but I feel so blessed. |
A few hours later, CardboardJoJo posted a photo of Chris and the women and disclosed the location.[13]
This was in Williamsburg at the Premium Outlets for those interested in documenting that level of specifics. Didn’t want to post this info at the time in case someone would attempt to go there and make contact. They were on the way to get Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. |
This is the first post-jail sighting of Chris outside of Chesterfield County. The Ben and Jerry's location is about 66 miles (102 km) east of Gateway Homes by road, a drive of more than an hour without traffic.
Walmart (July)
On 3 July 2023, a member of the Official CWCki Server posted that a friend had seen Chris at Walmart in Chesterfield County and had taken a photo of Chris looking at a display of G-Fuel drinks. Chris is seen with newly dyed dark blue hair and the photographer noted he (Chris) had his medallion on.
Later that day, the photographer posted to r/ChrisChanSonichu, adding that the Walmart was at Hancock Village St[14] and also posted a similar photo.[15]
In the high-resolution photo, it can be seen that Chris has a drawing of the Neo Spiritual Christianity cross clipped to his backpack, seemingly a memento from his jail days as it is done entirely in black and blue pen.
Dragon Fire Games
On 20 July 2023, a 4chan user posted a thread on /b/, uploading a photo of Chris taken from behind. The user commented:
I play Magic The Gathering in central VA. Chris Chan showed up for the first time here. Should I get her number? |
When asked "How bad does he stink?" the user answered:
Nothing noticeable. For reference, this was at Dragon Fire Games in Lynchburg, Virginia."[16] |
A photo taken from another angle, showing Chris's face, was briefly posted in a thread on r/ChrisChanSonichu. The photo was apparently sourced from an unknown Discord server, but the Reddit thread was quickly deleted by the poster,[17] although the photo itself was saved.
This is the second known sighting of Chris outside of Chesterfield County, and the farthest from the Chesterfield Gateway Homes campus that he has traveled since his apparent transfer - Lynchburg is approximately 108 miles west of the facility by road, a drive of nearly two hours without traffic.
Walmart (August)
On 4 August 2023, Twitter user TheOtakuKing posted a video of Chris at what appears to be a Walmart in Lynchburg, writing:
Found chris chan (60% sure?) . Cool dude. Talked to him about sonic and shit. Don't seem that bad."[18] |
TheOtakuKing elaborated on their conversation in a response to another post:
I didn't know if it was him or not. But I did seen sonic stuff on him.
Didn't ask him that. I Pretend I didn't even know him. Didn't want to walk up and be like hey. Chris where you live at! Lol |
There are multiple Walmart locations in the city, and the exact one where the video was taken has yet to be determined. When asked about where the video was filmed, he responded:
No offense. But I just got to know the dude. Don't wanna give his position like that! |
Chris is just some Confused kid. Thought about being like woody and hanging out with him. He just need a friend. He don't seems that bad. |
In response to someone asking if he had the Classic Chris voice:
Kinda. He was looking at speakers. Started talking to him about random stuff |
In response to someone asking if he talked about alternate dimensions:
Nothing like that. We was chilling and talking about sonic cd etc. Wanted to ask him about anime but I had to go. |
He was seemingly unaware that Chris is a criminal, when one of the replies mentioned his criminal record he responded:
Damn. He a Criminal. Well I got to do some research again. Been while |
This was the first full communication with Chris since his release.

Follow-up videos
On 20 August 2023, Otaku King released a video discussing his encounter with Chris and his desire to be a friend and mentor to him. In a reply to a comment on the video, he indicated that he was open to interviewing Chris, though the comment was later deleted.

Saga | Post-Jail |
On the 22nd, Otaku addressed commenter's concern and discouragement with the following pinned comment:
There always both side to every story and iam willing to take a few days and watch some Documentaries to understand you're point too. |
But this person truly does need help and I can't just ignore that. I will explain everything in Couple of days or so once I Actually see your point of view. |
On the 26th, Otaku King made another video about Chris, after watching some documentaries about him. In this video, Otaku King double-downs into his White-Knight role, proclaiming that he will cause the "season finale for Chris Chan".
Otaku King claimed to watch "maybe a half a season" worth of Christory. If by "season", he means "saga", then Otaku still probably doesn't know a lot about Christory. Otaku places all the blame for Chris's poor character on Barbara, and even questions the incest incident's existence.
Otaku also briefly discusses relating to Chris, as he claims he was also picked on at school, perhaps providing more motive for Otaku's White-Knighting.

Saga | Post-Jail |
Otaku's heart is mostly likely in the right place, though Otaku has not stated what he is actually going to do to help Chris (other than just playing Sonic 2 with him), if he ever does see him again. There also isn't really a looming threat to protect Chris from at this point, as most notable "trolls" have either run their course or let Chris be, and those who haven't are basically just among the little pests that haven't been able to effect Chris ever (With one exception).
Description:
so after watching some Documentaries.... this whole chris chan bullying really needs to stop! let's put a end to this madness.
chrischan season finale! will end soon. let's save chris chan. who's with me? |
Otaku King made a third video reacting to Chris's case dismissal, continuing to double down on his White-Knighting.
On 4 September 2023, Chris followed Otaku King on Twitter and liked a meme Otaku made about Chris and himself, along with the original sighting video.[19][20]
Walmart (August) Part II
On 24 August 2023, Chris was spotted at Walmart for the fourth time by DoctorWinchester87, who was initially reluctant to post the photo they took of Chris,[21] though later posted it a few hours later.[22]
Chris lookin' for grub.
Just wanted to clarify for those who didn't see the original post I made - this occurred in Walmart in Lynchburg, VA this afternoon. I was just walking along and saw him coming down the aisle. I got this picture (which is slightly zoomed in from the original) and a preliminary picture which was really far away and blurry.
I did not interact with Chris/Christine other than just walking past and making brief eye contact. I did hear him talking to himself briefly. |
