CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION (PLEASE READ, THANK YOU! :D) Some are pointing out that the 博士 in the "principal's" Japanese text is referring to him having a doctorate or being a professor, and that the English translation of "Chao doctor" is incorrect. Part of me _really_ wants to shed doubt on the original Japanese script and make the bold claim that they _meant_ to say "Chao doctor" instead of "Professor Chao", but despite my confidence in this, I'll admit that there's a good case for the fake "principal" simply being a professor of chao and not the real doctor like I claimed. Fortunately, this theory does _not_ hinge on him being a doctor at all! The gray concoction could've easily come from the black market itself (matching bottles) or from the chao that runs the health center, who might _actually_ be a doctor and could've possibly been the one to create the concoction. All in all, my claim about the principal being a doctor or not is up for you to decide! Either way, the evidence still comes together to form the same conclusion, albeit it takes a slightly different path to get there. Thank you to oldred890 and MetaKaios for ironing out this theory with their sharp criticisms! I hope you all enjoyed!

One thing that could lean into this reason is that there were two unused rooms for the Kindergarten: The Library and the Playground. It could be reasoned that the Playground would be accessible from the right of the Chao Doctor or Principle. Also noting that both the Medical Centre and Principle's Office have windows on the right, it could also simply be a room design choice.

I heard that it’s less obvious in the Dreamcast version because of no black market and less rooms; it’s the GameCube port that made this stuff come up.

You know that Omochao line, "Did you know that the doctor's mustache is fake?" A lot of people think he's talking about Eggman. But in the Japanese line, he says "Chao Professor," not just "doctor." He's talking about the principal. The mustache/beard is part of a disguise, not what he really looks like.

Maybe this is why the Chao Gardens disappeared? They were ultimately destroyed by the Chao themselves through backstabbing and corruption.

If you want to know why there is a fortune teller in the Chao Kindergarten and why it is used to name the player's Chao, in Japan, there is a type of fortune teller known as "Seimei Handan" or "Onomancer", who specialize in naming children. (This is far from the only reference to Japanese culture in the _Sonic_ franchise. Other notable instances include Tails being envisioned as a kitsune, the Curse of the Colonel being referenced in _Sonic Adventure_ through its infamous Burger Shop Statue, Dry Lagoon's gimmick of rescuing and riding a turtle referencing Urashima Tarō, and _Sonic & the Black Knight_ depicting Sir Gawain attempting to commit Seppuku.)

Same here, I played Chao Garden so many times and somehow I still missed the small details in the background because I was so focused on raising my chaos.

Makes you wonder if the Chao Principal and Doctor evolve and reincarnate too...

ZoomZike: Was the Chao Principal turned into stone by a underground black market Chao? Me at 3am: I don't need sleep, I need answers!

I did wonder about that picture in the black market. Though why did they draw hair on it? Neither the principal nor the doctor have hair, but the chao in the health center does. There's other stuff on the picture too, but I'm sure it could be better examined if we had the image file to look at. The only one left to be discussed too would be the fortune teller chao. Was she complicit?

I was so skeptical at first considering the short video and it being a conspiracy about the Chao kindergarten of all things, but when you pointed out the portrait in the black market, all the pieces fell into place and my mind was blown to bits. All the weird things I noticed as a kid and even up until now that I just shrugged off as being 'just weird' were actually pieces of such a crazy puzzle! This all really has been in front of our faces for so long in the form of these small details that a kid would never think to put together like this. The Chao kindergarten may be tainted in my eyes now, but honestly I think this makes it so much better. This is one of the wildest conspiracies that has come out of this game that actually has the solid evidence to boot, you know, aside from the 'Rouge's boobs being made up of more than one polygon' theory.

I'm just imagining an Ace Attorney case where someone is pretty much saying that. Dramatically bringing out evidence much to the judge's shock.

And now in frontiers there are tiny skrunkly creatures of stone that resemble chao Coincidence? I THINK *NOT*

Huh, you know as you started discussing the "principal", I was kind of assuming the twist was that he actually is the Black Market Chao. Not only are there all the connections you pointed out, they're also the only set Chao who wear glasses, plus why else would he have the portrait there. Also, I don't think the intent has to necessarily be malicious. Note that we're never introduced to any sign of Chao government of any description, and you don't pay for any of the official kindergarten services. It's very possible that the Black Market is actually the only thing keeping the school afloat, but the real principal objected on moral grounds, and so had to be gotten out of the way.

Translating チャオ博士 as Dr Chao here isn't wrong but very misleading... 博士 is more like someone with a doctorate (hence why it's used like the Dr title), not necessarily a medical doctor. Think Professor Oak (オーキド博士) and you would have a better idea on what it means. Considering he isn't giving medical advice but seems to know everything about chao, you're probably more accurate calling him Professor Chao in English. Fun video though regardless.

the Health Center reminds me of the Hotti Clinic, from PhoenixWright:AceAttorney, where the 'doctor' is more likely a patient insane enough to Impersonate the doctor, while the Actual doctor's whereabouts are left vague (or, in this case, if the Chao Doctor is the Chao Principal...but i always took the "Dr. Chao" part of the Japanese line to mean 'I have a Ph.D', not 'i am a Medical Doctor')

Does the city of station square secretly have a hand in this conspiracy!!! 😱. Btw great video as always zoomzike, absolutely love the content you put out and you have such a great voice!!! ❤️

I wonder if Chao garden could make a return in the new open world sonic game. This time more like nights, where it's not a direct gameplay system but rather an element of the natural life within the game because it's gonna be REAL depressing if the only organism is Sonic 💀

But what if we actually have all this wrong? What if the new principal/Doctor Chao and Black Market Chao are trying to help but they former Principal was against it so they made a plot to get rid of him? Think about it this way, the black market is the only way to get the other fruits, that dont grow in the three gardens, meaning that he must have some connections. And you get the fruits either by buying them directly from him or later by buying the seeds for the fruit trees and have your Chao plant them. Would someone trying to rip you off sell you the means of production to his wares? "But then why is he selling Chao eggs if he has good intentions?" you may ask yourself now, but what if those egg were rescued from somewhere and he just wants to ensure that are finacially able to take care of it, we know what lengths the Black Market Chao went to to get these eggs, so he wants to be 100% sure they are in good hands. Here is how it could have played out, the Doctor Chao and the Black Market Chao have known each other for a long time, even before the Doctor started working in the Chao Kindergarten and the Black Market Chao always was his first contact if he needed something special, and one day the Black Market Chao infromed the Doctor about the many different fruits some of his contacts were starting to grow, the Doctor saw the possible health benefits for the young Chao and asked the Principal if his friend could make a shop inside the Kindergarten. But the Principal was absolutly furious and he almost fired the Doctor right right there, saying he doesnt care about what the fruits could do, he wouldnt let anyone interfere with his way of leading the Kindergarten. The Doctor then met up with the Black Market Chao later that day, where he told him how furious he was at the reaction of the Principal, ignoring the good those fruits could do just because it wasnt his idea...that was when the Black Market Chao came up with a plan, one of his contacts found a chemical reaction that seemed to turn things into stone, and if the Doctor would take time to research it, he could maybe turn someone into a solution that would turn someone into a living statue. After a long discussion he decided to go through the plan, leaving the Kindergarten to research the "Medusa formula" as the Black Market Chao dubbed it, during this time the Principal hired the Chao who currently sits in the Doctors office. After the Doctor managed to fully complete the formula, he and the Black Market Chao went through with their plan, ambushing the Principal after dark and spraying the formula on him, turning his body to stone with him still living inside it, the new "Doctor" Chao saw them do it, but he agreed to stay silent if they let him keep pretending to be the doctor at the Kindergarten. The Doctor and Black Market Chao agreed, since they would need to have the doctor position filled anyways if the Doctor pretends to be the new Principal, under the condition that from now on he does nothing besides simple check-ups and sends sick Chao to him, and as a reminder to keep him in check, they left the bottle inside the doctors office to make sure he behaves. The Doctor then settled into the Principals office, keeping the former Principal in his office to show how much better everything runs now, and ever since the Doctor took over the Kindergarten, the young Chao are more healthy and happy. He now recommends every Chao parent to visit his trusted friend the Black Market Chao, who now set up shop inside the Kindergarten, if they ever need anything for their Chao, while the "Doctor" keeps playing his role and the Fotrune Teller Chao, who already saw all this before it even happend, didnt interfere because she knew that its would have a positive outcome in the end.

When I started watching this video I took it as a joke and was being amused. However the longer it went on the more I actually started to believe the conspiracy and now I think I'm fully convinced in the conspiracy.

The most horrifying thing that I can't unsee is that the principal is constantly clipping into his desk.

This video is great! It's really informational about a place you might not think too much about and make a story out of it, like I had not idea there was even a bust in the principals office, let alone that it blinks

@Blue587EE

I think they're intended to make the usual Chao noises and you just understand what they mean, somehow. Like Cream. In the Tiny Chao Garden you can see your Chao talk like that as well.

i always found it weird that the chao emotion ball thingies looked like they were attached to the top of the chaos in the kindergarten rather than floating in the air. maybe that was intentional too, because the statute in the principals office looks like the ball is floating correctly. i'd imagine it would be easier to render a flat image that the emotion balls use rather than a rasterized textured polygons like the kindergarten chaos use, but i'm not familiar at all with the hardware, so idk. maybe it's just a camera perspective thing

This was fascinating! Awesome watch and I'd love to see what others can add to this with other ingame references and clues!

I imagine this means Chao Gardens are a front for illegal activities, and their absence despite the continued existence of Chao implies after Sonic Adventure 2, the "principal" and the black market vendor are arrested, perhaps the fake doctor too, and Chao eggs are no longer sold as property. This implies that Sonic & friends have purchased illegal goods, but given the government didn't have Rouge step in to stop Eggman from blowing up Prison Island, the Moon, or even having her steal the Chaos Emeralds to shut down the cannon before the final story like she attempted to at one point and was not stopped from doing so, it's possible this conspiracy runs far deeper... or the government forgave Sonic for buying there because nobody suspected it was illegal.

This is a really fun theory here! I had always thought the Kindergarten had some shady stuff going on, especially with a *Black Market* just sitting there in the closet and no one batting an eye. Black Market deals with live export trade of rare Chao eggs, fruits/seeds and other items not typically found in the Chao Gardens - where does all this stuff come from? Do we assume these are procured by the Black Market by illegal and immoral means?? One thing the video didn't touch on was the motive - why get rid of the Principle in the first place? They could have easily been blackmailed or otherwise deceived - but no, they were *literally* removed from power and replaced. One logical reason would be the principle was going to dox the Black Market and shutdown the whole business, only to be retaliated against by the staff (or more specifically, the Chao Doctor + accomplices) Other fun nuggets of info which could add to this theory: - 1# Time passes in the Chao Gardens, but not the Kindergarten. If the real Principle was killed off where time doesn't pass, does this mean their body remains in constant stasis unable to decompose/disappear much like we see in Chao going inside the death cocoon in the gardens? Also interesting to note that none of the staff actually age, either. Although there is a framed picture of the Fortune Teller who looks younger (unless that is a past Fortune Teller?) - 2# Omochao's dialogue "Did you know the Doctor's moustache is fake?" - Originally I thought this was referring the the Chao Doctor (principle), and could hold up with this in context for the Kindergarten - 3# There are two unused rooms in the Kindergarten, the Playground and Library. These were removed likely due to time constraints and technology limitations, as they were going to use internet features. I can't remember exactly where these were intended to be placed, but vaguely recall they had numbered identifiers in the code the hinted they would placed around the Medical Center. Also interesting to note that some rooms in the Kindergarten have windows, despite being directly next to another room. That could have hinted that an additional open area was going to be next to these rooms (Principal's Office and Medical Center). Just a fun detail that could add to the Kindergarten conspiracy, pretty easy to hide the rest of the body in a place that no longer exists! - 4# Although this is likely just a glitch, there is an (unsettling) oddity within the Kindergarten where a Chao taken to the classroom can mysteriously disappear (I think it only happens when the Chao is in the first slot but I could be mistaken), and is replaced by a nameless chao with all E ranks. The original Chao essentially gets held hostage with no clear way of retrieving them from the classroom. This usually gets triggered when altering the game files, but if you retrieve a Chao that completed a lesson isn't supposed to exist, you can get the dialogue "Your Chao learned Your Chao Missed you... Visit the class again.". The 'Your Chao Missed you... ' part is unused dialogue assigned to the Classroom, probably a placeholder if the game couldn't find what the original lesson was. Again, it's probably only a glitch (albeit a strange one ripe for a creepypasta), that doesn't help with the Chao Kindergarten's case of trying to be a safe and educational space for Chao. - ?# Bit of fun hypothesising here - but who the hell is running the Medical Center then? This Chao is... odd to say the least. Also this is the only Chao that has the animal parts - specifically the adult head piece of a Condor (same size/shape but with different colour). Could we assume this Chao was once raised in the Chao Gardens but later taken in to be trained as Kindergarten staff? Maybe this Chao came from the Forest? A visual semblance of the forest can be seen behind the Kindergarten when entering. Maybe this Chao was originally assigned to run the other unused rooms (Library/Playground), or was the Chao Doctor's assistant?

More comprehensive than any game theory video.

Who would’ve guessed Sonic Adventure 2 has a Breaking Bad level underbelly

You just made our Childhood fun again. Thank you.

Sir I just found your channel Just subscribed after watching this masterpiece. I have to check out the rest of your videos

Idea for the drawing of the health center: The chao in pain isn’t in pain from the doctor, but in pain from their sickness

The doctor likely overthrew the principle so that he could establish his black market in the kindergarten. Truly a despicable man

I have never thought of this before you really do know how to make me come back for more

I feel like there’s a lot more to this than we realize.

Well I'm loving this June Zoom already, the start felt like I was watching Cybershell's Chao documentary but that turned south real quick

i wasn't expecting this to be so fucking intense, i think that deserves a subscription

I hate how much sense this makes. The pieces all fit. I can't believe it.

I just realized that there’s a picture next to the bottle of the chao "doctor". Is that his dead wife and he keeps the ashes in his office? Honestly that’s kinda sad

As a note - 猫要らず (Neko irazu) is the Japanese word for Rat Poison. It translates to "don't need cat". It's the only thing I can think that チャオいらず on the bottle might be in reference to, but in this case, it would mean "don't need Chao", which is... weird.

True, it's just as you say. Weird.

Oh my god, that's terrible! Absolutely awful! I for one am shocked and appalled by the actions these Chao have taken and hope swift justice is delievered on them! ... I uh, I can still use the black market though, right? 'Cause I mean, c'mon, can't really beat their prices.

Favorite episode by far xD I always thought they were all the same chao in disguise, this is even better. The fortune teller also has pots and statues if memory serves well…

I was skeptical about whether the devs intended it to be taken this way... Until the stone principal blinked.

Watching this video made me notice that the Chao doctor principle's body is clipping into his desk.

This was a great video, made me feel like i was in Ace Attorney, very nice!

I've always wonder what sort of business was going in the background of the Chao Kindergarten. However, the Black Market isn't just in Sonic Adventure 2, it has made an appearance in Sonic Adventure 1 within the Station Square Garden and another Black Market appeared in the Sonic Riders series (the first and second games). Makes you wonder if they were running an underground chain in different locations..

OMGGGGGGGGGGGG what did I watchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Thank you so much as always!

I always thought, there was something shady about this Statue behind "Principal"... But to this level? Oh no...

I really expected this to be clickbait but now I'm actually sold on this conspiracy...

This video did indeed change everything I knew about Chao Kindergarten! I came here knowing nothing and now I know something!

I don't know if anyone's pointed it out yet, but the gray bottle has the text チャオいらず (chao irazu), which could be translated roughly to "no need for Chao." Very suspicious...

5:09 I'm getting the feeling this was a group effort considering the drawings on the picture also have the hairs of the crazy medical doctor too

Wow... that was amazing! I never thought of it that way

Wow. Simply astonishing. Yet another reason to love SA2

Yeah

Chaos didn’t die for this. 😭

walking into this video i thought it would be a fun little joke, but the the piece all fit together plainly well ... sa2 . what a legend of a game .

“Oh no! This can’t be! You’re chao is very healthy.”

Brilliant video and OMG!!! I always thought that grey statue in the principles office was creepy and thought there was something weird with him and that doctor. But I never made the connections. I never thought this game was so dark😱😱😱🤯
