Anchor is very tough, as they have no issue smashing through the floor, and it appears that they never took any damage from it.

Anchor audition
In "The Escape from Four", Anchor was selected as one of the 26 recommended characters that could join Two's new season, The Power of Two. In his audition, Anchor is first seen walking when he suddenly loses his footing, causing him to fall through the floor of the room he was in.
Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two[]
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", Anchor can be seen holding Camera and standing with the rest of the eligible debuters on the ground. Due to Two being high up, nobody could hear them, even after asking Nickel to bring everybody up. Two then uses their telekinesis to bring up both the contestants and the debuters. Afterwards, Cake at Stake starts.
Anchor reaches the final eight but only gets 2,265 votes. Just as Two is about to clap them through the floor, Anchor stops them and voluntarily eliminates themselves by crashing through the roof.
In "Outbreak At Stake", Anchor starts banging on the hotel door during the Cake at Stake ceremony, begging to be let in. He explains that the infected Barf Bag had climbed up to the hotel's roof and started infecting the guests up there, and he escaped. Just as then eliminated Coiny is about to open the door for him, Barf Bag breaks through the window, and Coiny is bit and infected. Afterwards, Anchor is seen as indeed having been infected. He does not appear for the rest of the episode, but it can be speculated that he either gets cured after eating poisoned steaks, or was killed and recovered offscreen.
In "I SAID CAREFUL!!!," Two emerges from the basement to find the CloudYAY Mega Supervan crashed into the side of the hotel. Frustrated by the mess, they teleport everyone—including Anchor and the other failed debuters—to the now-damaged Gelatin's Steakhouse. Declaring "time out" for the entire group, Two sternly announces that they will personally handle the cleanup from the storm.
Before teleporting away, Two instructs everyone to stay out of trouble, leaving an uneasy silence behind. Attempting to lighten the mood, Anchor and the other failed debutants take the initiative to host the next Cake at Stake. There, Anchor announces that Price Tag is safe with 21,104 votes, prompting a celebratory jump into the air. However, upon landing, Anchor inadvertently creates a massive hole in the ground. When Leek asks Anchor if they're okay, Anchor doesn't reply. Leek says that Anchor is gone.
"WITH 21,104 VOTES- Price Tag is safe! YEAAAAAAH!"
Later on, PDA, seizes the opportunity and leaps into the hole, while the others look on in fascination.
In "Seasonal Shift", Anchor and his fellow TPOT rejects go hunting for a piece of Yoylite. He is trapped under a rock in the pit and desperately pleads for PDA's assistance. PDA, irritated, retorts that they're already trying to help. Meanwhile, the other failed debuters attempt a rescue by lowering a rope into the pit. However, the rope snaps under the weight, causing the entire group to plummet. Tragically, PDA is crushed in the fall. Anchor apologizes to PDA's lifeless form before urging the group to find a way out of the pit.
Leek remarks that they're all likely stuck, prompting Discy to attempt cutting through the surrounding rocks. Inspired, Leek joins in, using Anchor to help smash the rocks. Unbeknownst to them, One secretly intervenes, using her powers to shatter the rocks entirely, making it seem as though their combined efforts succeeded. Elated, the group ventures through the new passageway and stumbles upon a piece of Yoylite encased in glass.
As the failed debuters approach the Yoylite, the glass surrounding it mysteriously vanishes, thanks to One’s subtle manipulation. Anchor immediately declares that if they can't have Two's limitless power, the Yoylite will suffice. The group soon realizes the artifact’s ability to manipulate time, igniting a fervent desire in each debuter to use it to rewrite their past and secure a coveted spot on BFDI. A fierce argument erupts, devolving into a chaotic brawl as everyone fights to claim the Yoylite for themselves. Amid the turmoil, the artifact activates on its own, emitting a blinding flash of energy. In an instant, the Yoylite and the failed debuters vanish, each scattered across different moments in the timeline.
Anchor is transported to March 24th, 2020, during the events of "The Escape from Four", but finds himself floating in outer space. He surveys his surroundings and wonders aloud if the plan worked, but his gaze shifts down toward Earth. Letting out a sigh, he mutters that it "almost worked". Moments later, Anchor begins plummeting towards Earth, engulfed in flames and screaming.
Their fiery descent ends in a dramatic crash, which disrupts the contestants’ grip on the EXITors. Anchor lands in the dirt, buried, and cries out for help. Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again soon arrives with the goal of retrieving him. Pin lifts Anchor from the ground, prompting them to cheer and attempt to join the rest of the cast, eager to become part of the show. However, Tree and Fanny restrain them, much to Anchor's dismay.
As Anchor cries hysterically, Fanny declares her hatred for him and urges the team to leave immediately. Before they can depart, Marker notices Two on the Alien Planet and realizes they must head there to retrieve them. Anchor pleads to go along, but Tree firmly tells him no. Despite this, Anchor breaks free from Tree and Fanny’s grip, returning to his dirt pile. However, the dirt begins to glitch, transforming first into a bowling pin and then into one of Flower's sweaters.
As the glitches continue to escalate, Anchor's dirt pile morphs into a trebuchet. Seizing the opportunity, Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again uses the makeshift trebuchet to launch themselves toward the Alien Planet. Later, they return with Two, who turns to the rest of the cast and asks if they're ready to battle for an exciting prize. With the timeline successfully corrected, Death P.A.C.T. Yet Again uses the Yoylite to return to the present, with Anchor. The team proudly reflects on their efforts to restore the timeline.
Abilities[]
Weight: Due to being an anchor, they weigh a lot, which is an advantage helping them to fall through floors, destroy floors etc. This was first shown in "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?". In fact, they weigh so much that in "Seasonal Shift", when they are transported back in time and are teleported into space, they fall and the impact is so much that they move the earth away from Two's direction.
Deaths[]
- "The Four is Lava": Sinks into the lava.
- "Outbreak At Stake": Zombified by the other infected objects.
Non-canon deaths:
- "Claustrophobe's Nightmare": Dies after having his side broken on the claw machine. However, if that didn't kill him, the heat death of the universe did.
- "UNREAL BFDI": Mutilated by Four.
Trivia[]
- Anchor is the second character whose name starts with an "a", with the Announcer being the first.
- Anchor, alongside Shopping Cart, are the only two failed TPOT debutants who appear in "Claustrophobe's Nightmare, with Anchor having a written role as opposed to Shopping Cart appearing in a crowd shot; Anchor is carried by Snowball and is used as a hammer to break the claw machine.
- Anchor would get his first major role in "Fish and Chips", alongside Rusty Coin.
- He's the second failed debutant to have confirmed pronouns that aren't they/them, following Snare Drum and followed by Conch Shell.
- Anchor is one of three debut candidates that speak in "Outbreak at Stake", the others being Discy and Conch Shell.
- So far, Anchor has had a line in every episode he's appeared in. He is the only TPOT debut candidate with this distinction.
- Anchor is the least realistic character because if an Anchor fell to earth at a super high velocity it would be enough to destroy a city and vaporize its surroundings, NOT de-orbit a whole planet that by the way weighs 5.9722×10 to the power of 24 kg, but somehow he did de-orbit the Earth which means anchor is probably as dense as a neutron star or even more which would probably make him collapse into a black hole.
- His recommender flambé also recommended Salt Lamp and Sandcastle.
- This makes Anchor one of eight debutants to have their recommender recommend multiple debut candidates, as he shares a recommender with Salt Lamp, Battery and VHSy were both recommended by squib, Blender and Rubber Spatula were both recommended by Papiomike, and lastly, Kitchen Sink and Shopping Cart were both recommended by Joe Art Maker.
