Battle for BFDI

Battle for BFDI, also known as BFB and Battle for B.F.D.I. (as seen in the title card), is the fourth season of Battle for Dream Island. It premiered on November 3, 2017 with the release of Getting Teardrop to Talk.

Overview
Battle for BFDI goes back to the traditional format of having challenges and eliminations, just like 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.

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

The premiere episode, Getting Teardrop to Talk, introduces the fourth season's cast as well as the new hosts. The first challenge was to return baskets.

While 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 does not preclude going back to IDFB.

Since all the characters are there (except for Evil Leafy and Nonexisty) this might mean that IDFB is not cancelled and BFB is just somewhere in the future. However, it's highly possible, as stated by Cary in his BFB 1 reaction video: "Who really liked IDFB? IDFB was pretty good, but there was no direction, no competition. We had some plans for the storyline and the lore to expand, but this [BFB] is better. You wouldn't want IDFB, you'd want this."

Trivia

 * 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 aren't in the Locker of Losers, have their IDFB designs, and the fact that the interactions between the BFDI and BFDIA contestants are still present/active. It may also be possibly a reboot of the series.
 * The intro's song is called "Music of Four's 3D Hand."
 * BFB Intro In Reverse (FIXED) the second half of the video sounds in reverse, it is not. It does sound more normal in reverse, though.
 * Before the second half starts, you can hear a faint voice clip of the objects saying "Switch" over and over, which is taken from Yeah, Who? I Wanna Know.
 * This season features the most contestants, with 64 of them.
 * Evil Leafy and Nonexisty are the only 2 contestants not to appear in this season.
 * Despite Nonexisty not officially appearing, it is disputed by fans that he did "appear in every scene", as he does not exist.
 * 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 has been two hosts simultaneously, the other being Firey Speaker Box and Flower Speaker Box (unless you count TV as a host as well).
 * This is the first season not to have future episode release dates.
 * However, it is predicted that BFB 2 will be released on November 17th or earlier.
 * Battle for BFDI Is the only animated object show that has more than 50 contestants.
 * BFB beats Inanimations as the show with the most contestants (Inanimations features over 40 contestants).
 * Evil Leafy and Nonexisty strangely do not compete this season.
 * BFDI assets aren't used in BFB (except in the air fluttering, most running, and characters).
 * BFB has been criticized for having a more "choppy" animation style compared to IDFB's.
 * However, it may be to speed up production time.
 * This is the first season in which previously eliminated contestants aren't held in the TLC. Instead, they are being held somewhere inside Four. It is unknown if they are alive.
 * This is the first season where a female is in last place. (BFDI is not counted as Flower rejoined late and finished 4th/21)
