~ Bokkun's catchphrase. |
Bokkun is a major antagonist in the anime series Sonic X. He is designed to be the Messenger Robo for Dr. Eggman, frequently acting as liaison between the deranged doctor and his foes. He can be considered a type of Badnik. Although he is extremely ill-treated by Eggman, he is loyal to him to a fault; this is not without frequent whining from Bokkun, though.
He was voiced by Yumiko Kobayashi in Japanese and Andrew Rannells in English, who also voiced Decoe in the same series.
Appearance[]
Bokkun is a short goblin-like black robot with round head, yellow eyes, pointy ears that are shaped like horns, and blue tongue. He wears a jetpack, white gloves, red shoes and a belt with the M symbol.
Personality[]
Bokkun is depicted as an immature, impish and petulant robot with qualities similar to that of a child. He is infamous for his regular practice of delivering messages to heroes via the use of a special television set that will explode afterwards. However, despite this rather dangerous trait he is more of a pest and minor enemy than a full-scale antagonist.
Bokkun is secretly in love with Cream the Rabbit and carries her picture around in a trinket. This was used by Rouge the Bat to blackmail him into helping her during the third season.
Biography[]
In Sonic X anime[]
Bokkun was built at some point by Dr. Eggman to act as a messenger for him through explosive television sets. He helps Eggman conquer Earth several times, but was defeated by Sonic and his companions. He has a habit of using Television Bombs on Sonic while flying away laughing, but ultimately always suffers humiliating and comical defeats. At one point, Eggman says that Bokkun may be obsolete, driving the latter to tears.
When trapped from the Station Square flood incident, Bokkun is rescued by Sonic but ungratefully snaps at him, only for Sonic to snap back. He later summons the Egg Golem just when Sonic and his companions visit Eggman's base. Bokkun fights both Sonic and Knuckles, but Cream manages to make the Golem chase after him.
Once avoiding imprisonment, Bokkun activates Emerl to free Eggman, and distracts Sonic by fighting the latter near Station Square. However, his plan fails and he ends up in prison alongside Eggman, Decoe and Bocoe, who are all angry at him. He then tries to obtain the Chaos Emerald for Eggman and competes with Amy, but once again fails because he calls her a liar. Ultimately, Bokkun still successfully frees Eggman, Decoe and Bocoe, allowing him to escape from Amy.
In the third season, Rouge the Bat finds a picture of Cream the Rabbit in Bokkun's trinket. She uses this to blackmail him into doing tasks for her, such as drugging Dr. Eggman's drink, allowing Rouge to carry out her plans freely.
In Archie Comics[]
Bokkun appears far more in Archie Comics' adaptation of Sonic X, with his love for sweets and food being exaggerated that he even goes on a week-long sugar rush and trying to take over the world.

Trivia[]
- Bokkun's actual species is questionable. it is quintessentially noted that he is intended to be a robot due to him being referred to as a "messenger robot", as well as his alternative name being Messenger Robo in the Japanese version of the series. However, his voice actor contrarily says Bokkun is a Chao, so the whole situation is complicated.
