One of the Sonic fandom’s most famous unfinished animation projects is finally making its way back to full animation.
During Sonic Fan Fest 2026, Team Full Power premiered the final trailer for Sonic: The Wrath of Nazo – Full Power and confirmed that Act 1 will release in October 2026. The project takes Chakra-X’s long-planned sequel to the legendary Nazo Unleashed and turns his completed story and animatic work back into the fully animated production that was originally envisioned. Team Full Power subsequently reiterated the October release window through its official account.
That distinction is worth making because The Wrath of Nazo itself never completely disappeared.
Chakra-X first began developing the sequel after Nazo Unleashed, with the project eventually growing into another three-act story. Storyboarding was completed in 2018 and animation on Act 1 began, but Chakra-X announced in 2022 that the demands of his personal life meant he could no longer continue producing the fully animated version. Rather than throw away years of work, he shifted the project into an animatic format built from the completed storyboards, voice work and finished animation that already existed. Act 1 of that version arrived in December 2023, followed by Act 2 in December 2024.
Team Full Power is a separate fan production taking that material and finishing it as animation.
And yes, Chakra-X is completely fine with that.
The original creator recently clarified his relationship with the project, explaining that he allows fans to animate, redub and otherwise reinterpret his Wrath of Nazo animatics. He specifically singled out Team Full Power as the largest effort he has seen to fully animate the story, while also stressing that the team is working independently and that he is “not really directly involved.”
That makes Full Power less of an unofficial sequel trying to continue somebody else’s story and more of a community effort to finally realize the existing Wrath of Nazo material in the form fans originally expected to see it.
For anyone wondering why that is such a big deal, Nazo Unleashed is practically Sonic fan-animation history at this point.
Chakra-X released the remake of his earlier The Power of Nazo across three parts between 2006 and 2007, following Sonic, Shadow, Tails and Knuckles as they battled the Chaos-powered Nazo. The production became one of the defining Sonic Flash animations of its era, combining a Sonic X-inspired look with increasingly elaborate action sequences and a very obvious affection for Dragon Ball Z. Chakra-X later brought all three stages together in the HD Nazo Unleashed DX release.
The third stage also left behind the setup that eventually grew into The Wrath of Nazo, making the sequel one of those fan projects that people have been waiting an absurdly long time to actually see finished.
Almost 20 years after Nazo Unleashed began, Team Full Power is now taking another shot at getting us there.
The new production will once again be divided into three acts, following the structure Chakra-X established for Wrath and, appropriately enough, the three-part format that helped define Nazo Unleashed in the first place. There is currently no release schedule for Acts 2 and 3, and a project of this scale is probably not something anyone should expect to appear at monthly intervals. Full fan animation takes time, especially when you are effectively rebuilding a project that was already ambitious enough to overwhelm its original creator.
For now, though, Act 1 has crossed the biggest hurdle of all.
Sonic: The Wrath of Nazo – Full Power Act 1 arrives in October 2026.
Nazo is coming back. For real this time.
