On August 25, Chris posted a new cover of the issue, where the Planet Dolan crossover was replaced by a [[My Little Pony]] drawing. Given Chris's Twitter fights with [[DoopieDoOver]] and [[LadyOfTheCosmo]], the latter of which occurred on the same day that the new cover was uploaded, it is likely that he decided to scrap the Planet Dolan plot in favour of an MLP one.
On August 25, following [[BronyCon]], Chris posted a new cover of the issue, featuring his [[My Little Pony]]-inspired [[Night Star]] character. Other main characters are Diamond Melody, a character based on [[Jessica Quinn]], and [[Kun T’Nyuget]], [[Idea Guy]]'s character.

''Sonichu'' #13 began as a crossover special between Sonichu and the cast of [[Planet Dolan]], a YouTube Top Ten channel. It is unknown how Chris even came up with the idea in the first place or how Sonichu relates to a top ten channel which appeals to easily entertained Redditors,  but one could come to the conclusion that it's because of his tendency to combine [[Pokémon|several]] [[Sonic|unrelated]] [[Things Chris has ripped off|works]] together and call it [[Sonichu (comic)|his]] [[Parody|own]] [[Random-access humor|work]], or due to the crush he had on [[DoopieDoOver]] at the time.

Sonichu #12-9, formerly Sonichu #13, takes place after Sonichu #12. The unusual title is due to Chris's superstition on the number thirteen.[1]

The plot of this issue was heavily shaped by the sagas and events in Chris's own life which occurred during the 14 months he worked on the comic - namely, BronyCon and the Doopie, Jessica Quinn and Idea Guy sagas.

Production notes

Planned cover for the Dolan crossover.

Chris planned this in May 2017 as a crossover involving Planet Dolan; however, the aftermath of the Doopie saga compelled Chris to cancel writing the story. Chris has claimed that the Planet Dolan arc has already happened in the Sonichu canon, but he never explained what actually did happen, like how the crew got to Planet Dolan in the first place, what happened between them, and whether or not there was conflict.[2]

In August, Chris stated that My Little Pony versions of the Chandler family will be involved in this issue.[3]

On August 25, following BronyCon, Chris posted a new cover of the issue, featuring his My Little Pony-inspired Night Star character. Other main characters are Diamond Melody, a character based on Jessica Quinn, and Kun T’Nyuget, Idea Guy's character.

Final front and back covers.

Based on the new cover, Chris seems to have deviated from his usual Comic Sans font, switching to Proxima Nova. He had discussed wanting to purchase the font on Twitter after talking with someone he met at BronyCon.

One of the consequences of the Idea Guy saga was that Chris's perception of reality and fantasy had been distorted more than ever. This is reflected in the cover, which originally stated:

This is a fan-fiction of My Little Pony. But, also side-canon to "Sonichu". But this story, and this unicorn, doesn't have to remain a fan-fiction; she could become canon. ;)

...and was then edited to:

From the world of Equestria and My Little Pony. This is not only canon to "Sonichu", but these events all really did happen, period.

Chris finished the comic on 20 July 2018. The back cover is a piece of art Chris commissioned from artist Feather Shine[4]. For the record, Feather Shine didn't know he would do so, but was fine with it upon finding out[5].
