“	Don't you want to battle to win a prize?	”
	— Four, "Getting Teardrop to Talk"

Battle for BFB,, also known as BFB Post-Split, is the second part of the fourth season of the Battle for Dream Island series. It premiered on Friday, April 17, 2020, with the release of "X Marks the Spot", and concluded on April 9, 2021, with the release of "Chapter Complete".

A fifth season, known as Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two, was meant to air simultaneously, but would only end up airing one episode before this season ended. It premiered on January 10, 2021.

The prize used to be just a BFB, but in "X Marks the Spot", Four added the original prize (a BFDI) back to the prize pool, making BFB the first season to have two prizes.

Overview

BFB 27-28- INTRO

The official intro to the season's second half.

Unlike IDFB, Battle for BFDI goes back to the traditional format of challenges and eliminations, similar to the first and second seasons. While the season starts with viewers voting to eliminate a character as per usual, the elimination style changed to a choice of saving rather than eliminating in "X Marks the Spot".

This season utilizes a hand-drawn art style that uses drawn limbs and faces rather than reusable assets like every previous season. For the first few episodes, the animation was very simplistic which allowed for longer episodes to be made in a shorter time, but by the time "Return of the Rocket Ship" was released, the style became way more polished which became the staple art style the show would use for all future in-universe seasons thus far.

Many unexplained plot changes have happened that allowed for new characters to join the cast and for old characters to return. Additionally, Profily debuted as a contestant in "The Hidden Contestant".

The first episode, "Getting Teardrop to Talk", was released on November 3, 2017. It introduces the fourth season's cast as well as the new hosts, Four and X who originally come from a 2008 jacknjellify video called "X Finds Out His Value".

Although the release of IDFB confirmed BFDIA was cancelled for the time being, the release of BFB did not confirm IDFB's cancellation. Since all of the characters are present (except for Evil Leafy and Nonexisty), including the ones that were originally trapped in the Locker of Losers, presumably due to currently unexplained events that happened between IDFB and BFB, which is highly possible, as stated by Cary Huang in his BFB 1 reaction video.

This season is currently the first and only to have characters that are recommended through Patreon, with multiple tiers that fans could pay for to have different types of recommended characters they make to appear in the show. Some fans could pay 100$ or more to have special recommended characters that contribute to the show in some way.

On March 24, 2020, the decision was made to cut the cast of the season from 54 contestants down to fourteen in "The Escape from Four" with the introduction of Two who starts a new season called Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two. In a miscellaneous video on the jacknjellify channel called "The Secret Behind BFB's Split", Cary and Michael Huang explain that they made the decision as the quality of episodes they made for BFB at the time kept rising, to the point where they couldn't keep consistently making episodes within a short time, so they decided to cut down on the number of contestants and make episodes light-hearted again while episodes of BFDI:TPOT would focus on character-driven storylines.

Shortly before the announcement of the split, jacknjellify started to hire more crew members to make working on the show easier. Some crew members would later animate on BFDI:TPOT and the BFDIA revival.

The season ended on April 9, 2021 with the release of "Chapter Complete", announcing a hiatus that would last over a year, with no new episodes released, until "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", an episode from BFDI:TPOT, was released.
