It sasy that julie su is Knuckles's Amore and cousin because they are "lovers" and have a daughter in a different dimension and they Amore each other lol. It says she is his cousin, but very distant. maybe because they are from the same tribe.
actually Knuckles' great-great-great-great-great-great uncle Demitri is Julie-Su's great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather. so tehy are cousins but it's very distant i don't even think it counts
