Dimensional Merge

Ongoing The things described in this article are still happening, or are still being looked into. As a result, it may be subject to frequent change, and the information provided may not be entirely reliable.

While eating at McDonald's, Chris scribbled down the math for how many people will be killed in the Merge on a napkin.

The Dimensional Merge is the event in which Chris believes that "Dimension 1218" and "Dimension C-197" — respectively, the universe of real life, and the universe where Sonichu and fictional characters live — will combine, bringing fictional characters into reality. Chris is convinced that he is the designated liaison of the event and will become a deity as a result, giving the appearance of a doomsday cult leader.

Chris announced the event on 14 October 2018 and it was expected to take place sometime in December 2018.

Background

Throughout 2017, Chris appeared convinced by the Idea Guys that the Sonichu and Hyperdimension Neptunia universes actually existed, but in a separate dimension.

In July 2018, Chris tweeted at Marvel writer Seanan McGuire, asking him to confirm the "dimension number" of "this Earth." McGuire responded with "Earth 1218," and later clarified that this was the Marvel universe's designation for the real universe. Chris took it as gospel, and subsequently uses "1218" to refer to the actual, existing universe. Weeks later, McGuire reiterated once again that everything was imaginary, but Chris' response to McGuire and various trolls indicates that he still believes that people such as McGuire can communicate with other dimensions.

Over the summer and fall of 2018, Chris met with the Teen Troon Squad, people who gave him weed, pretended to be possessed by Sonichu characters and that the universes would merge.

The Merge Saga

Chris warns downtown Charlottesville of the impending merge on its Free Speech Wall.

On 26 October 2018, Chris posted a video entitled "Dimensional Merge Announcements" where he outlined the process of 1218 merging with its "sister dimension" C197, where every fictional character known to exist resides. He believes that once the merge occurs, Earth will be shared by humans and various characters. He clarified that the merge will cause extensive loss of life on both sides, such as the deaths of almost half of Earth's population.

Naturally, he believes that he will be guaranteed survival because he "absorbed the spiral seal" from his Sega Dreamcast and is therefore the middleman between the two dimensions. He believes that himself and Megan are basically deities, and that he will gain superpowers following the merge because of his belief that he is half-Sonichu.

He sent dozens of follow-up tweets further detailing the process, explaining that Cwcville would replace northern Virginia and Gotham City will replace a portion of New Jersey. He explained that this will resemble a natural disaster scenario and that mass evacuations may occur during the merge.

In early December 2018, Chris reported feeling "psychic headaches" and associated the merge with the California wildfires and the romaine lettuce recall. As the merge drew closer, he claimed to have "lightning powers" and that the "millions of volts" of electricity in his head is evidence that he is half-Sonichu.

Without giving a time estimate for the merge, he tried to dispel doubts by claiming that he can "touch and feel" Magi-Chan and Cryzel Rosechu.

Magi-Chan doxxing incident

On Christmas 2018, Chris stated that the merge was in progress, but later moved the goalposts, stating that the merge may be delayed 20 years and that everyone will be "hibernating" until then.

Later in the day, Chris tweeted a link to a now-deleted Pastebin dump allegedly written by Magi-Chan, but was in reality, likely written by a member of the "Teen Troon Squad" and contained the dox of one of its members.

Hello everyone! It is I, Magi-Chan Sonichu. I read the password for this account from Chris' mind. As you all know, the merge will be happening soon. I currently have Lukas (my host body) in a trance, so they won't remember typing this out. The final stage of the merge will involve everyone in our universe disconnecting from your universe. We will go silent. We must hibernate to tug the universes together. I have really enjoyed my time in your universe. I want to give thanks to my host body in your world, [redacted]. (Legal name: [redacted].) I want everyone to know what a gracious host they were. Lukas and Christine and I (and some of our friends) had lots of fun hanging out with Christine and smoking weed. We used to do it in their old house, but she just moved to a new house at [redacted]. I'm sad I won't be able to smoke weed there until after the merge. If you want to give Lukas a call to let her know how cool she is, she'd really appreciate it. Her number is [redacted]. Her mother Tara raised a brilliant young person. Her mother is also very progressive. I mean, who would have the courage to let their child spend their time smoking weed with someone like Christine, who's nearly twice their age? A really brave mother, that's who.g Lukas is a really cool person. If you want to end up as brilliant as Lukas, you should also spend a lot of time opening your mind by role playing and smoking weed with cool people like Christine. Anyhoo, praise be for my gracious host aside, here's how the merge will go down: everyone disconnects from Earth 1218 for a small period of time we hibernate and by the end of 2018 in our universe, the universes will be merged Because of time dilation though, it will take a little bit longer in Earth 1218. By your human calendar in that universe, the merge should be complete by the end of 2038. 2018 here, 2038 in 1218. In 20 short years, you should start seeing manifestations of what you people so cynically call "fictional characters". You might literally shit your panties when you see Bugs Bunny in real life! (But be polite, he looks a little rough. Makeup on television can work wonders.) Goodbye for now!

Chris later dismissed the news as fake.

Relation to Financhu Crisis

On 24 September 2018, Chris was sued by Second Round Sub for unpaid debt, and on 23 October 2018, Mariner Finance followed suit. The case for the former was postponed to January, but the verdict on the Mariner case was read on 19 December 2018, requiring Chris to pay $2,777.90 and $55 in court costs.

He has avoided questions and discussion on the matter. However, the verdict's delivery in the middle of the apparent merge has raised speculation that he may genuinely expect the merge to occur and that it would absolve him of financial difficulty.
