List of Sonic X episodes


Sonic X is an anime series based on the Sonic the Hedgehog video game series. It originally ran consecutively on Sundays from April 6, 2003 to March 28, 2004 with a total of 52 episodes. Episodes 53-78 initially after they were completed and produced, were not aired on TV or released on DVD in Japan, but eventually became available through various streaming services years later.
However, as part of Kids Station's 2020 line-up of programming, it was announced that as part a tie-in promotion for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, the network would finally begin broadcasting the remaining episodes in 2020. This would mark the first time that the episodes would air in any format on Japanese television.
For the English dub produced by 4Kids, episodes 1-52 were referred to as Seasons 1-2, each 26 episodes long, and episodes 53-78 were referred to as Season 3, but the Saga Set DVD releases split the episodes into six seasons, each containing 13 episodes. The airdates for TV Tokyo are listed on the left, while the airdates for the 4Kids English dub are on the right. For Season 3, air dates for the Japanese run reflect first date of Kids Station's broadcasts.
