Sonic was raised in a ninja village, and is the second fastest character in the series. As such, Sonic typically runs with his arms behind him to make his body more aerodynamic .
How can sonic run fast?
Officially, and technically, Sonic can run briefly at light speed , with the use of the Light Speed Dash power (which itself requires the Light Speed Shoes). This screencap is from Sonic Adventure 1. For purposes of game play, Sonic’s movement at this speed is not accurately depicted in the games.
Sonic is fast because of multiple reasons , it just depends on if you’re talking about the shows, games, or comics. With the comics it is because of his genes. It basically runs in his DNA and most of the other hedgehogs’ DNA. Hedgehogs in the comics naturally have some speed, they just have to work to develop it.
I know that in some iterations there’s mention of his shoes making him fast, and according to other sources, it’s just because he inherently is fast , that’s all: In fact, in many of the iterations of the game, there are ‘power ups’ which grant Sonic even greater speed, but I’ve not seen anything official about the origins of this speed.
How fast can Sonic run?
Sonic’s greatest strength is his super speed, so he can run backward just as fast as forwards. He can instantly accelerate to the speed of sound and run at speeds far greater than Mach 1 – about 768 MPH (miles per hour).
This of course begs the question “How fast is Sonic in Sonic Adventure DX?”
In Sonic Unleaded the check points would report his speed in excess of 2500 miles an hour. The Sonic Adventure DX manual lists him at least as fast as 3840 miles an hour (hypersonic) After that he developed light speed attacks and the ability to travel at light speed and to freeze time.
Originally he was said to be the speed of sound, at 767+ miles per hour at sea level. In Sonic Unleaded the check points would report his speed in excess of 2500 miles an hour . After that he developed light speed attacks and the ability to travel at light speed and to freeze time.
You may be wondering “Is Sonic faster than the Flash?”
Some sources claimed the answer is very simple: No, he is not. If we recall our physics lessons, we know that the speed of light is a million times faster than the speed of sound. Here are the numbers: the speed of light is 299.792.458 km/s, and the speed of sound is 340 m/s.
Generally hypersonic generally refers to speeds above Mach 5. Like these terms, Sonic’s speed is never called out as an exact quantity of distance per time , rather that “he is faster than the speed of sound”. Anything more specific than this is not quoted.
Why do anime characters run with their arms behind them?
“Anime characters” in general do not run with their arms behind them. Ninja do though. Which includes anime ninja. There may be other examples of exceptions, but it’s not a uniform thing across all of anime. It leaves the arms loose and ready to use when needed, such as to draw and wield a weapon or block an enemy’s attack.
Why do samurais run with their hands behind their backs?

There is no historical evidence of that, so probably it is just a stylistic decision in anime and manga to add some mystic vibe to legendary Japanese martial arts. Show activity on this post.
This begs the query “Why do ninjas swing their arms?”
He said it was accurate and explained that swinging your arms wastes energy, leaning forward puts your center of gravity in front of your feet, and your arms are there to help maintain balance . This ninja also demonstrated (a little) this technique. If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device.
Why do some superheroes keep their arms behind their heads?
When they keep their arms behind, they are streamlined . They penetrate through air faster and air resistance is reduced, and hence it boosts their speed. It also provides easy accessibility to weapons.
