Bokkun

Message for you! Here you go! — Sonic X ep.5

Bokkun (ボックン), also known as Messenger Robo (メッセンジャーロボ) in the Japanese version, is a character from Sonic X. He is employed by Doctor Eggman to send messages to Sonic that come in a form of a TV that blows up in the recipient's face. Bokkun gets mistreated and cries very easily, due to Eggman and other characters always teasing or hurting him. His pleasures include annoying people with bombs or eating various desserts. He is very loyal to Eggman, who he treats like a father or creator. Bokkun can fly using a jet-pack (possibly bolted to his back), and has a boiling point temper. {C {C He once called upon the Egg Golem also seen in Sonic Adventure 2. Early, in the series' third season, Bokkun is forced to help Rouge the Bat, who blackmails him with a locket he owns, threatening to show everyone the picture of the girl inside it, whom Bokkun has a crush on. The scene where his crush is revealed to be Cream the Rabbit is cut out of the English version, possibly for time purposes.

Bokkun has red shoes and white gloves like Sonic, and a green rucksack over his shoulder, where he keeps his bombs. In both versions of Sonic X, Bokkun has been referred to as a robot, but there's still dispute in the fandom as to what he is. There have been theories of dark chaos, cyborgs and several different kinds of roboticized animals. In the comics Bokkun has been shown piloting some of Eggman's machinery.

Bokkun seems to be a bit of a black sheep among his fellow robots. On a few instances he interacts with Decoe and Bocoe as though they were his friends, but generally, he's rude to them and tries to make them angry. Bokkun sometimes appears to be Eggman's favorite of the trio, as he has complimented Bokkun several times and rarely ever seems mad at him. In the English version of the episode about volcanoes, Eggman even sides with Bokkun (he'd claimed that he might get eaten by a snake if Eggman sent him) and sends Decoe and Bocoe to find food instead.

Personality
Bokkun is very childish and loves explosions. He is slightly sadistic and loves to pull pranks. His job is as a messenger robo but he doesn't appreciate it. In other words, he loves to complain. Bokkun often tries to get Decoe and Bocoe to be his subordinates, which they haven't ever gone along with.

Bokkun is loud and obnoxious, and doesn't seem to care much for other peoples' feelings. Although he is generally pretty loyal to Eggman, he sometimes puts his own needs and desires above his job. Such as, delivering messages for the Sonic crew in exchange for pastries, or helping Rouge try to steal a chaos emerald so she doesn't spill his secret.He also tends to use "BAKA" a lot in the Japanese version, which translates to idiot.

In the comics, Bokkun turned power crazy and delusional when he had too much sugar, taking on the identity of "The Cape". Eggman had to get the help of Sonic to stop him from trying to take over the world, and in the end had to pin him down until he crashed and fell asleep.

Trivia

 * Also in the Japanese version of episode 49 when Chris calls him Messenger Robo he angrily replies, "I told you my name is Bokkun!"
 * The M on Bokkun's belt could possibly stand for Messenger Robo, although it is never stated as such.
