Brocken Meyer

Brocken Meyer (ブロッケン・マイヤー, Burokken Maiya, Blocken in the English Anime) is a fictional character in the manga and anime series of Shaman King. He is usually seen on "Big Guy" Bill Burton's shoulder.

Appearance
His body is, for reasons he is not happy to talk about, too damaged to sustain his life on its own. Instead he constantly uses a little bit of Furyoku to sustain his upper body and head with a Lego body. However he is still missing his limbs that he must create with some Hao blocks. When not fighting he is mostly seen concealing his Hao block body with a yellow cloak.

Abilities and Powers
Brocken has a high furyoku level that, according to Peyote Diaz, is because he is living in an constant near death situation similar to Iron Maiden Jeanne.

Spirit

 * See More: Blocks

Brocken's spirits are a pack of rat spirits in a bunch of Hao blocks and his body, as mediums, to do his oversouls. The rats are also in the Over Soul to complete his body.

With the Hao blocks he can construct several things such as dinosaur, a tank, and a bird.

Past
He was once a young man living in Hiroshima. In the age of 26, in 1985, he was found by Asakura Hao who immediately brought him with him. He was somehow made the adoptive father of Asakura Hao who raised him since he was an infant after Hao escaped the Asakura family when he was reincarnated.

Travel Through America
His first appearance when Asakura Yoh and his gang reached the former Patch Village and was confronted by Boris Tepes Dracula. However during this time Brocken remained silent.

Shaman Fights Second Round
He is a good friend of "Big Guy" Bill Burton as he is always seen on his shoulder. His team was eliminated before the second round so he usually hangs out with Bill Burton and his team. He then made his first official appearance when Usui Horokeu was protecting Team Icemen that Bill Burton had seen out as food for the Spirit of Fire.

When Bill was defeated with a single blow from Usui Lycan, Brocken was left to fight Horohoro on his own. Due to his opponent's oversoul switching strategy, Brocken was defeated when he was covered in a massive amount of ice, enough to cover his oversoul, Die Tank. Found later by Mohamed, Hang Zang-Ching and Peyote Diaz, he was scolded for losing and told that furyoku is not everything.

Brocken was the sole survivor of the disaster on the beach, when Peyote tried to kill all Hao's followers present. He was rescued by the Asakura Family and his condition stabilized. He was kept captive in hopes of getting information out of him.

Funbari no Uta
Several years later he, along with Zang Ching and Bill Burton come to work for the Tao Family and travels with the current heir Tao Men to the Funbari Inn.

Anime/Manga Difference
In the anime, it is not explained how Hao was raised after escaping from the Asakura family and Brocken had no speaking role in the Anime leaving him a mute role.
