List of characters in Sonic X
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is for fictional characters from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise that appear exclusively in the animated series Sonic X and the associated comic book.
For minor characters in other continuities, see Other characters in Sonic the Hedgehog.
[edit] Bokkun
Bokkun is employed by Doctor Eggman to send messages to Sonic that come in a form of a TV that blows up in anyone's face. Bokkun gets mistreated and cries very easily, due to Eggman always 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 jetpack (possibly connected to his back), and has a boiling point temper. He is 50 cm tall and weighs 20 kg.[1]
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 for unknown reasons[2].
Bokkun looks like a black, gold eyed type of Dark Chao with blue and white patches without his bauble, and a pale green rucksack over his shoulder, where he keeps his privileged bombs. There's some to debate as to whether Bokkun is a robot or an anthropomorphic animal, although a caption in an issue of the Sonic X comic refers to him as "Dr. Eggman's delivery robot", and he is seen drinking oil on one occasion. He uses an "M" on his belt buckle, which refers to Dr. Eggman's name for him, "Messenger Robo". He is somewhat similar to Bean the Dynamite, since they both have a liking to explosives.
Bokkun is voiced by Yumiko Kobayashi in Japan and Andrew Rannells in the English dub.
[edit] Chris Thorndyke
[edit] Chuck Thorndyke
Chuck Thorndyke is the paternal grandfather of Chris Thorndyke. He is a scientist and inventor. He always is helping Chris, Sonic and the gang out whenever they need help. He is 165 cm tall, weighs 60 kg, and is 55 years old.[3] Chuck is voiced by Bin Shimada in Japan and Jerry Lobozzo in the English dub.
Much in the same way that Chris bonds with Sonic the Hedgehog during the latter's stay with the family, and the maid Ella bonds with Cream the Rabbit, Chuck forms a close friendship with Tails, who shares his love of inventing.
Many fans believe his name is a reference to the "SatAM" and "Archie" Sonic continuities as his nickname "Chuck" and his full name "Charles" are shared by "SatAM" and "Archie" Sonic's uncle.
He bears an uncanny resemblance to Dr. Emmett Brown of the Back to the Future films.
[edit] Cosmo
[edit] Danny
Danny, full name Daniel, is an African-American boy and one of Chris Thorndyke's friends and classmates. He is 11 years old, 125 cm tall, weighs 40 kg and enjoys sports[4]. He helps Sonic and his friends at occasions, and also fights and loses to Chris during the Battle Tournament in episode 45. He is voiced by Naomi Shindoh in the Japanese version and Rachael Lillis or Tara Jayne in the US.

[edit] Decoe and Bocoe
Decoe and Bocoe are Dr. Eggman's personal humanoid assistant robots. Decoe is a tall, slim and gold-colored, while Bocoe is short, stubby and silver. They are almost constantly seen with Eggman, helping him pilot his machinery among other things. The two do not have much in the way of personalities, but are somewhat clumsy and similar to Scratch and Grounder from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. Decoe is 198 cm tall and weighs 200 kg,[5] while Bocoe is 145 cm tall and weighs 220 kg.[6]
Decoe and Bocoe can also "combine" in various ways. The first one, where Bocoe sits on top of Decoe, gives them the ability to summon Bokkun via a light signal sent from Decoe's eyes (seen in Episode 49). The second one is somewhat more useful in combat, as they combine into a rocket launcher (seen in Episode 75). They also have a common dream that they can combine into a powerful battle robot, but it is merely a fantasy (seen in Episode 48).
In the Japanese version of Sonic X, Decoe is voiced by Ken Yamaguchi, while his American voice actor is Andrew Rannells. Bocoe's Japanese and and English voices are provided by Bin Shimada and Darren Dunstan, respectively.
[edit] Ella
Ella is Chris Thorndyke's large and jolly maid. Ella seems to enjoy her job, but she dislikes dirt. Ella meets Sonic and the others quickly, after Cream blows her cover at Chris' birthday party. Ella quickly made a close relationship with Cream and Amy. She can become hotheaded at times and can practically do anything when in a bad mood, even piloting the X-Tornado. Ella is 38 years old, 163 cm tall, and weighs 102 kg.[7]
Ella entered the Emerald Fighting Tournament, battling Big the Cat with a frying pan. Froggy hopped out of Big's fur and jumped on Ella, causing her to faint. However, Big was disqualified for going out of the ring while running from Ella. This entire fight was removed from the American 4kids dub version.
In the English dub, Ella speaks with a stereotypical Spanish accent. She's voiced by Mike Pollock, who also provides Dr. Eggman's voice. In the original Japanese version, she is voiced by deep-voiced female seiyuu Kujira.
[edit] Frances
Frances is one of Chris Thorndyke's girl classmates. She is 11 years old, 125 cm tall, and weighs 40 kg[8]. She has ginger hair and wears red overalls. Frances is voiced by Kerry Williams in the English dub.
[edit] Hawk
Hawk is a somewhat portly Asian man befriended by Knuckles in episode 17. He recovered the red Chaos Emerald and Shovel Claws on an archaeological dig, both which he later gave Knuckles. He later helped him destroy the E-91 robot out to get the Emerald as well. While Hawk seemed very weak in his debut performance, it was later shown he was very skilled in the martial arts, when he reappeared in the Battle Tournament for the red Chaos Emerald in episode 45. Despite his skills, he was no match for Tails, and was knocked out of the first round in the tournament. Hawk is 173 cm tall and weighs 92 kg[9]
[edit] Helen
Helen is Chris Thorndyke's classmate, who is handicapped. She sometimes accompanies Sonic and his friends on their adventures, and a most of episode 14 is about her. Helen is 126 cm tall, wighs 36 kg, and is 11 years old[10]. When they are young, she shows no signs of having romantic feelings toward Chris, but in the future, Helen and Chris are romantically involved with each other. She also looks a bit like Maria Robotnik. Helen's Japanese voice actress is Noriko Hidaka, and in the dub she is voiced by Amy Birnbaum.
[edit] Hertia/Earthia
Hertia (called Earthia in the English 4kids dub) is the mother of Galaxina and Cosmo. She is presumably the leader of Cosmo's clan, and chose to flee after the Green Planet was destroyed. Surviving on a fake Planet Egg, she transformed into her true self; a giant tree. The seeds that come from this tree make new offspring, depending if cared for or not. After that, she gives birth to the last of her offspring, which is Cosmo. She then grew weaker and died when the Metarex landed on their ship. She later appears in a holographic image on the abandoned Green Planet, showing how the planet fell. At the final moment of the forestation project, Hertia appears to Cosmo and tells her what to do, and suddenly, Cosmo's amulet shatters. Her last appearance is when Dark Oak has been defeated; suddenly a light (which is Hertia) appears to him and says that they have a second chance. They both then disappear in a flash of light and are never seen again.
[edit] Jerome Wise
[edit] Lily
Lily is a small blue female Flicky bird that Amy takes care of during the Sonic Adventure adaption. It wears a locket that contains a Chaos Emerald along with a picture of what Amy assumes to be its parents; a brown and a pink Flicky that turns out to be trapped in E-Series#E-101 Beta and E-102 Gamma, respectively. By the end of the adaption, the two E-100 robots are destroyed, and Lily are reunited with her parents. Lily is 20 cm tall and weighs 100 g[11]
The bird also appeared in the game, but was only known as "Birdie" and referred to as male. In addition, its relationship with the other two Flickies was never confirmed.
[edit] Linsey Thorndyke
Linsey Thorndyke (born Linsey Flair) is a beautiful famous actress and the mother of Chris Thorndyke, the father being Nelson Thorndyke. She is voiced by Naomi Shindoh in Japan, and Jennifer Blood in the US.
[edit] Lucky
E-77 Lucky is a ridiculous looking E-Series robot, created by Eggman to find the 7th Chaos Emerald in Season 1. His main body is a large bell with two visible eyes and the number 7 painted on in red, and he is covered in good luck charms, including 4 leafed clovers and rabbits' feet. Lucky was created because Eggman believed that with a little more luck, he could obtain all seven Chaos Emeralds. At first, Lucky seems to have bad luck, and he is constantly falling down and getting into trouble. But later he is revealed to have good luck when he finds the seventh Chaos Emerald. After the first season, Lucky isn't seen again for a while, until the Emerald Tournament, where for a few rounds he remains on a good luck streak and continues to win by default, but finally loses against Emerl. Lucky's only form of communication is through beeping.
[edit] Metarex
[edit] Molly
Molly is a human girl seen in season 3. She hails from a nameless planet (named "Cascade" in the English dub), where she is rescued from the Metarex by Shadow. Shadow notes how much she reminds him of Maria Robotnik, but she later sacrifices herself during a Metarex attack. Shadow then builds a memorial to her honor, and is seen standing by it in the final episode. Molly is voiced by Bella Hudson in the English dub, which notably did not show her death, instead making it seem like she fled Cascade.
[edit] "Nazo"
[edit] Nelson Thorndyke
Nelson Thorndyke is the wealthy owner of a computer business, and the father of Chris Thorndyke. He is married to Lindsay Thorndyke, and his father is Chuck Thorndyke. He is voiced by Ted Lewis in the English dub.
[edit] Sam Speed
Sam Speed is Chris Thorndyke's uncle and the leader of the Speed Team, a special unit of the Station Square police force that uses high-performance automobiles. His rivalry with Sonic is a recurring theme throughout Sonic X's first two seasons. Sam Speed is 28 years old, 183 cm tall, weighs 80 kg[12], and he is voiced by Souichirou Tanaka in Japan and Frank Frankson in the US.
A running gag in the original Japanese version of the show involves Sam having a different nickname in each of his appearances, some examples being "Highway Star" and "Love Express". In the English version, his only nickname was "Speed King", a possible reference to drag racing legend Kenny Bernstein, who is known as "the King of Speed."
It is generally accepted that Sam's surname is a pseudonym, but there is some debate as to whether or not he is a biological member of the Thorndyke family.
[edit] Mr. Tanaka
Mr. Tanaka is Chris Thorndyke's Japanese butler. He is tall, thin, looks very stern and wears glasses. He is a skilled martial artist and develops a relationship with Topaz in the first series. He somewhen discovered the presence of Sonic and the others long before Ella did and revealed his secret to Chris when he found him scolding Cream. Tanaka entered the Emerald Fighting Tournament and was defeated by Emerl. In the French dub, his first name is revealed to be Edward. Tanaka is 35 years old, 175 cm tall, and weighs 72 kg.[13]
In the English dub, he speaks with a stereotypical Japanese accent and is voiced by Darren Dunstan.
[edit] Topaz
Topaz is a GUN agent and the human partner of Rouge the Bat. Though at first the regimental Topaz disapproves of the scheming Rouge (who keeps calling her an old lady), the two become friends fast. Their main assignments involve striking at Dr. Eggman and retrieving the Chaos Emeralds, as well as serving as envoys between Sonic and his friends and the government.
Topaz also seems to have romantic inclination towards Chris Thorndyke's butler, Mr. Tanaka. The two have worked together on several occasions, and when Topaz lost in a tournament over the red Chaos Emerald, Tanaka gave her a necklace, a sign of a growing relationship between them.
Topaz's last appearance was when Sonic and his friends were returning home. She said farewell to her partner Rouge, who gave her a ring as a goodbye gift. This is quite unusual, as Rouge usually covets any jewel she comes across. It is uncertain whether Topaz will return to the series or not.
Topaz's outfit is very similar to that of the character Virtua City's female protagonist Janet Marshall from Virtua Cop 2 and Virtua Cop 3.
[edit] Trivia
- Prior to the agreement that ended any possibility of Sonic X characters appearing in the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Comics, Bokkun was considered as a possible addition to the cast of villains in the comic continuity. *Storyline ideas for issues following issue #134 of the Sonic the Hedgehog Archie Comics included introducing the Battle Kukku Army (renamed the Battlebird Armada) and King Boom Boo into the storyline.[14]
