Raising the bar of complicated storytelling previous set by its predecessor, on 3 August 2018, Chris completed Sonichu #13, which encompasses a variety of lores and historical elements spoonfed by the Idea Guys. This article seeks to analyze Sonichu #13.
Story
As per the previous issue, Chris's opening disclaimer for #13 states that all events portrayed in the story actually happened, either in 1218 or C-197 (as later designated), no matter how bizarre. As real life Chris is recounting his experiences as the narrator, this issue is a pseudo-autobiography.
[Mention comic chris]
From November 2017 onwards, not long after first contact with the Idea Guys, Chris started posting delusional scenarios on his social media, heavily indicative of an external influence on his behavior.[references to HN, nazis etc or examples in paragraph] Behind the scenes, Chris contemporaneously incorporated many of these scenarios into his ongoing comic; thus, the comic may serve as a reference to Chris's interactions with the Idea Guys – especially when he was instilled with particular delusions.
Issue #13 is separated into several loose story arcs, but ties together into one large narrative. Despite bearing the subtitle of The Awakening of a CPU aka The Idea Guy Corruptions, Chris's CPU Blue Heart persona and the Idea Guys are only addressed in the epilogue of the story, which was added four months after the main body of the comic was finished. The story arcs are as follows:
- Chris versus Kurome
[According to Joshua Wise, he wanted to feed Chris concepts more interesting than those in 12-9 (Q&A)]
Regardless of the removal of the Idea Guys in April 2018 [check date], Chris later stated that #13 remains canon and still occurred. [find source]

The glaring issue with Sonichu #13 is that Chris was especially keen on ignoring the "show, don't tell" rule of media. Despite being the fifteenth issue of a comic book series, a significant portion of the comic presents its series of events in paragraphs of text, with relevant illustrations accompanying on the sides.
In the epilogue, Chris shelves the comic panel style for a literary prose
