Overview Edit
Battle For B.F.D.I (BFB) Intro HQ

The intro to the season. Unlike IDFB, Battle for BFDI goes back to the traditional format of challenges and eliminations, similar to the first and second seasons.

The art style is more simplified and animated more loosely, which in turn allowed the running time of the first episode to be nearly half an hour long, and later episodes to be able to be made within a shorter time frame.

Many unexplained plot changes have happened to let new characters join the cast and for old characters to return.

The premiere episode, Getting Teardrop to Talk, introduces the fourth season's castas well as the new hosts, Four and X from the 2008 Jacknjellify video, X Finds Out His Value.

Although the release of IDFB confirmed the end of BFDIA, the release of BFB does not confirm the end of IDFB. BFB appears to be in a separate timeline and might not preclude going back to IDFB. Since all the characters are present (except for Evil Leafy and Nonexisty) this might mean that IDFB is not canceled and BFB takes place sometime in the future. However, it's highly possible, as stated by Cary in his BFB 1 reaction video.

Trivia Edit

 * BFB releases every Friday in PST time generally within 2-3 weeks. The map on the right shows the times when next BFB episode will likely release.Click this map to enlarge.


 * Assuming one contestant will be eliminated each episode (except the first one) and that there will be at least 2 rejoins, there will be at least 67 BFB episodes, with the last episode being in May 2020 or later if the uploads schedule doesn’t change.
 * However, BFB 3, BFB 5 and BFB 8 were all released in 3 weeks, and so was BFB 6, according to Michael Huang.
 * Furthermore, Cary Huang says that he doesn't mind taking an extra week to work on the episode, as he states that the quality of the episodes with 3 week production times have been much higher than the ones with 2 weeks and overall production value would increase in general if 3 week production persists.
 * Interestingly, there's the same amount of females & males, being 32 of each gender.
 * It's currently not known if Battle for BFDI fits in the continuity of BFDI, BFDIA, and IDFB. However, it may be possible that Battle for BFDI takes place after IDFB, since all of the recommended and eliminated characters are no longer inside the Locker of Losers, have their IDFB designs, and the fact that the interactions between the BFDI and BFDIA contestants are still present/active, as well as some of the occurrences from previous seasons are mentioned by various characters.
 * It is confirmed that it takes place after the first 2 seasons in BFB 6, as Coiny still remembers his time in W.O.A.H. Bunch in BFDIA while motivating Pin.
 * Also, after X cried in Why Would You Do This On A Swingset, Pin said, "I almost prefer the old Announcer!"
 * The show is not a “joke show”, but according to Satomi Hinatsu it is similar to it in the sense it has funny jokes.[1]
 * It is possible that Battle for BFDI takes place in Yoyleland, as the tower on top of the Yoyle Mountain can be seen in a certain scene. **However, it is more likely that the season's location is nearby Yoyleland, because the grass isn't purple.
 * The intro always starts with a character raising one of their limbs up to the sky.
 * The intro's song is called "MUSIC OF FOUR'S 3D HAND".
 * Mistakes in the intro:
 * Everyone after Marker in the lineup has rough finishes to their limbs and facial features out of everyone else in the intro.
 * Spongy didn’t have any legs.
 * Bell's string is missing.
 * Lightning and Pillow didn't have arms when all contestants are showing until the intro in BFB 3.
 * Although it's hard to see, Bracelety's mouth is blue instead of white, but only when all contestants are showing.
 * Until BFB 4, Robot Flower doesn't have any body, but only when all contestants are showing.
 * Tree is missing in the first part. However, he was added to the intro in BFB 3.
 * TV was missing his legs until BFB 3.
 * Before the second half starts, a faint voice clip of the objects saying "Switch" over and over can be heard, which is taken from Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know.[2]
 * This season features the most contestants out of BFDI (as well as object shows in general), with 64 of them.
 * Strangely, Evil Leafy and Nonexisty are the only 2 contestants not to appear in this season. This is most likely due to Evil Leafy being the antagonist, and Nonexisty being more of a joke. (However, this doesn't mean that they will not appear lately.)
 * Despite Nonexisty not officially appearing, it is disputed by fans that he did "appear in every scene", as he does not exist.
 * Furthermore, Evil Leafy was seen as a recommended character by Diamondcup67 in BFB 6.
 * The hosts, Four and X, previously appeared in a 2008 jacknjellify animation called "X Finds Out His Value".
 * They are also the second time that there have been two hosts simultaneously, the other being Firey Speaker Box and Flower Speaker Box, if TV does not count as a host.
 * However, as of BFB 6, it is unknown if they are to return after disappearing through Four's multiplication with Donut.
 * So far, 4 females (Pencil, Leafy, Bracelety, and Liy) and 2 males (Roboty and Loser) have been eliminated.
 * This is the first season not to have past episode release dates.
 * However, the contestants sometimes announce the release date for the future episode(s) after the voting.
 * The original BFDI assets for facial features and limbs aren't used in BFB (except in the air fluttering, most running, and other rare occasions).
 * BFB has been frequently criticized for having a more "choppy" and "loose" animation style compared to IDFB, BFDIA, and BFDI.
 * This is due to BFB having new animators, such as Satomi Hinatsu and Caedmon Johnson.
 * This is the first season in which previously eliminated contestants aren't held in the TLC. Instead, most of them (with the exceptions of Roboty and Loser) are being held somewhere inside of Four. It is currently unknown whether or not they are alive.
 * Similarly, some characters were swallowed by Evil Leafy, but they were still alive at the time, so it's possible that the inside of Four is similar to BFDIA 5b.
 * Balloony has referred to this as “Eternal Algebra Class".
 * This is the first season where a female is in last place. (Note that Woody was last place in BFDI as Flower rejoined late and finished 4th/21, and Donut was 22nd/22 because Bracelety, who got the least BFDIA join votes, was not an official contestant at the time).
 * This is the first season that David and Dora appeared together, however they are in different teams, as David is on  and Dora is on .
 * The BFB intro was the first intro to feature the host, unlike the intros of BFDI, BFDIA, and IDFB.
 * This show is animated with Animate CC.
 * This is the first season of BFDI in 6 years to get past five episodes.
 * This is due to BFDI reaching 6 episodes on June 1, 2010, BFDIA 6 being cancelled, and IDFB going on its "best hiatus ever."
 * IDFB 2 is having an intentional hiatus, thus getting the name, "BFDI's best hiatus ever!"
 * In addition to Cary and Michael, two new animators are currently working for this season: Satomi Hinatsu and Caedmon Johnson.
 * If Flower, Spongy, Blocky, Teardrop, or Match get eliminated in BFB, they will be the contestant(s) who have been eliminated the highest amount of times at three.
 * Since the first three have been eliminated twice in BFDI and the later two were eliminated in BFDI and BFDIA.
 * The scene backgrounds used in this series are from Paper Towel.
 * In some parts of the United States, BFB episodes usually release at midnight, according to the graph on the right.
 * A small section of Oceania that actually has the newest episode of BFB uploaded on Sunday. This is due to Kiribati's exclusive time zone +14. Making it possible to be Friday in Los Angeles, Saturday in London, and Sunday in the Line islands (The part of Kiribati in time zone +14).
 * Just like the previous seasons, BFB Stingers always take place at night.
 * Pencil and Leafy were the first two contestants eliminated. Coincidentally, they both subtracted some of nearly everyone's points in Bowling, Now with Explosions!
 * It might be true that the assets for BFB could have been a reference to some of the hand-drawn assets in the IDFB intro.
 * This season marks the first time where Leafy was eliminated.
 * This is the second season where a female contestant got eliminated first (Pencil) chronologically, the first being Flower in Season 1.
