570 mots | Temps de lecture : 2 minute(s)

Decoe is a supporting character exclusive to the Sonic X animated series. Created specifically for the series, he and Bocoe play one of Dr. Eggman 's two robotic assistants . Tall, slender, and always calm, Decoe brings a touch of cold, offbeat humor to the Sonic animated universe. Although he doesn't appear in any video games, he has become a memorable figure for fans of the series.

Origin and first appearance

Decoe is introduced in the first episode of Sonic X , which aired in Japan in 2003 and internationally until 2006. Created by TMS Entertainment in collaboration with Sega , he serves as a comedic support for Dr. Eggman. Unlike Orbot and Cubot, Decoe has never been included in the video games of the franchise.

Appearance and characteristics

  • Species: humanoid robot
  • Height: tall and slender
  • Appearance: Metallic yellow body, thin arms, red eyes, large flat forehead
  • Function: technical assistant, messenger, performer of various tasks
  • Voice: deep, calm, slightly robotic

His upright demeanor and expressionless face contrast with Bocoe's more nervous temperament, reinforcing the comic aspect of the duo.

Personality

Decoe is distinguished by his constant composure . Emotionless, he comments on absurd situations seriously, accentuating their burlesque side. He is:

  • Loyal and obedient to Eggman, although he sometimes expresses doubts.
  • Calm and methodical, even in the worst scenarios
  • Less agitated than Bocoe, but just as ineffective
  • Sarcastic through clumsiness, with unintentionally funny lines

Role in Sonic X

Decoe appears in most of the series' 78 episodes . He helps Eggman:

  • Design and activate combat robots
  • Analyze the activities of Sonic and his allies
  • Carry out often bizarre plans of conquest
  • Ensure database maintenance and serve as a spokesperson

Relationship with Bocoe

The Decoe & Bocoe duo follows a classic comic pattern: one ( Decoe ) is calm , the other ( Bocoe ) is nervous . Their absurd arguments, poor coordination, and subservient attitude toward Eggman reinforce their image as "minions" in the Sonic X universe.

Why does Decoe remain a cult figure?

  • An unintentional humor that contrasts with the action
  • A unique voice and deadpan diction
  • Unwavering loyalty despite failures and humiliations
  • A real comic presence that structures the series

Apparitions

  • Sonic X (2003 – 2006) – featured in almost every episode
  • Merchandise: Rare figurines, trading cards, Sonic X artbooks
  • Video games: absent , unlike Orbot and Cubot

Conclusion

Decoe perfectly embodies the humorous side of Sonic X . His stoic posture, clumsy loyalty, and legendary duo with Bocoe have left a lasting impression on fans. Even though he's not in the games, he remains a cult figure for anyone nostalgic for the Sonic anime.
