Sonichu #15 was announced by Chris on 17 October 2017, directly after he completed Sonichu #12. It is a "Retelling of the Classic First Three Episodes, BUT with More Details; More Commentary and Dialogue from Sonichu and Rosechu".[2]
The cover is an alternate version of the infamous "Zap to the extreme!" cover on Sonichu #0, with a transgender Chris directing Sonichu, who responds, "Yes, I will!! Thank you, mother!!!". Chris believes that his art has improved in the 13-year span between the two books.[3]
The number fifteen comic shamefully steals scenes, dialogue and elements from a notable fancomic titled Rosechu's Story. Chris had previously read this comic prior, and even commented about it on Tumblr. In lifting elements from the story, doing so, Chris also made an alteration, and decided to depicting the Raichu in his version of the story with a blunt tail as opposed to pointed (in the Pokémon games, this marks a Raichu as female), yet Rosechu's Story has a plot point about Rosechu having been born as a male. This is obviously Chris attempting to put his foot down on the much debated and ridiculed topic of Rosechu's birth gender.[4]

Originally, the cover did not credit Trickie or Rosechu's Story. For the 2019 revision, Chris scribbled a note in the corner reading: "Also complimenting of Trickie's book, "Rosechu's Story", with permission to quote that book for this one." An understatement to say the least, as most of the book is copied directly from Rosechu's Story. |

In the original 2017 page, Chris drew the Raichu that becomes Rosechu with a blunt tail (in Pokémon lore, a blunt tail signifies a Raichu is female while a pointed tail signifies it is male). It was to be a retcon of Sonichu 0, which depicted the Raichu with a pointed tail (as the Pokémon lore had not existed at the time). However, later that year, Idea Guy told Chris that Rosechu was really born a male. When Chris returned to the comic in 2019, he followed Idea Guy's canon and revised the page to depict the Raichu with a pointed tail (by drawing the tail on a separate page, cutting it out and gluing it over the original version). |

Minor date change. The 2017 version gives February 14, 2003 as the date Rosechu and Sonichu meet; the 2019 version is revised to February 7 (with Chris writing the 7 on a slip of paper and gluing it over the previous date). |
