Now that that's taken care of, we can finally start the battle for, The Power of TwoooooooOOO!
 
Two, Before the intro

Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two (BFDI:TPOT), also known as simply The Power of Two (TPOT), is the 5th season[1] of the Battle for Dream Island series, with its first 2 episodes written by Satomi Hinatsu and Kenzie Bryant and later episodes written by Sam Thornbury and Cary Huang.

The season is hosted by Two and was announced in "The Escape from Four". The Power of Two consists of 40 contestants from the original Battle for BFDI (plus two recommended character contestants and Teardrop, who competed on her own), while the other 14 contestants continue to battle in Battle for BFB. The prize is Two's power.

The first episode, "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", was announced to release on January 9, 2021, according to the stinger in "Uprooting Everything". However, it was delayed a few hours due to glitches of the intro[2] and ended up being released on January 10, 2021.

The intro was made by Elias A. "coal bones", RickToons, and Amor Boretto,[3] and the song played in the TPOT intro is called "Gibberish!!".

If each episode continues the trend of having 2 characters eliminated each, there will be at least 20 episodes.

UPDATED TPOT 2+ intro (original) - Gibberish!!

The official intro to the season.

This season was created following the split of Battle For BFDI, one being the 2nd half of the original season: Battle for BFB and the other being Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two. The 42 contestants were split into 6 teams of 7. At the end of the episode, the viewers can vote one member of each team who to save in the comments section, and have a window of 48 hours after every episodes are released. Teardrop joined the season and competed on her own team in "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life".

Unlike post-split BFB, TPOT features a format similar to the pre-split BFB episodes.[4] The episodes produced for this season have a higher quality in both animation and writing compared to the previous seasons; consequently, they release less frequently, unlike BFB, which tends to have its episodes 3–4 weeks apart.

According to a May 2022 community post on YouTube, Satomi said she and the TPOT crew might work on the shorter and faster episodes starting with TPOT 3 and onwards after TPOT 2. Any new episodes of TPOT would come out a bit more regularly, starting with "Gardening Zero" after TPOT 3.

Satomi and Kenzie would write the first two episodes of TPOT before being laid off from Jacknjellify in July 2022; new episodes of TPOT would have various writers, with Cary Huang writing TPOT 4 and Sam Thornbury writing TPOT 3 and 5-10.

TPOT is running concurrently with the 2023 revival of Battle for Dream Island Again, since the release of "Well Rested" on September 1, 2023.[5]

Trivia[]

Tpotlogo

Logo shown on the end of "The Escape from Four"

  • The Power of Two was originally not considered early on, and the contestants that weren't in the Final 14 of BFB were going to be permanently killed off and eliminated from the game.[6]
  • This is the first season...
    • ...to be named directly after its prize, without "battle for" preceding it. It is also called the "Battle for the Power of Two" (or "BFTPOT") by Two in the first episode, right before the intro.
    • ...that lacks a former finalist.
    • ...that lacks a former rejoiner.
    • ...where no members of Pencil's Alliance compete (not including Book and Ice Cube due to being alternates).
    • ...to have the first eliminated contestant not be voiced by Michael Huang as he does not voice Pie.
    • ...to have its debut at the beginning instead of the merge.
    • ...to have 2 back-to-back debuts, as Winner and Price Tag join in the 1st episode and Teardrop joins in the 2nd episode.
    • ...to have a Cake at Stake in its first episode.
    • ...where Bubble isn't the first character to be recovered.
    • ...to have double eliminations used as a form of voting.
    • ...to have 2 teams up for elimination at once on multiple occasions.
    • ...to have episodes split into chapters on YouTube.
  • This is the second season...
    • ...to have an announced release date before it started, with IDFB being the first (However, TPOT is the only season where it was known that the premiere would be a new season (as it was expected that BFDIA 6 would come out originally instead of IDFB).
    • ...to use votes to save, after Battle for BFB.
    • ...to allow another contestant to debut due to someone else being absent; Battle for Dream Island Again was the first.
    • ...to have the first words spoken by Michael (as Yellow Face, or Four in a recording) instead of Cary, with BFB being the first.
    • ...to have a newbie (a character NOT competing in or hosting BFDI) eliminated first, after Battle for Dream Island Again.
  • This is the third season to have a female contestant be the first eliminated, after Battle for Dream Island and Battle for BFDI.
  • The acronym TPOT is commonly pronounced as "teapot". The acronym was hinted on March 19, 2020 with a picture of X holding a teapot posted on Jacknjellify's Twitter and community page.
  • 4 to the power of 2 equals 16 (), which jokingly refers to the episode number from Battle for BFDI.
  • Kenzie Bryant supposedly came up with the name "TPOT".[7]
  • It seems it was also possible that the contestants were able to switch between Battle for BFB and this competition if they wanted to.[4] However, after BFB 17, this idea seems to be scrapped due to no future BFB episodes having any involvement with TPOT contestants. However, Teardrop joined TPOT late, making her the only contestant in both BFB (post-split) and TPOT.
  • This season has the 2nd largest cast of contestants at 43, surpassed by BFB's 65.
  • X was originally a co-host with Two in TPOT, but he was taken back to BFB in "X Marks the Spot" as a challenge.
  • As of TPOT, Pin, Coiny, Ice Cube, Rocky, Tennis Ball, Golf Ball, Teardrop, and Needle are the only characters who have competed in every season of BFDI (and were outside of the TLC and LOL in IDFB).
    • This makes this the first season to not include Firey, Spongy, and Pencil (although Firey made a cameo apperance in one episode, and Pencil will be making appearances during the EXITOR segments).
      • By default, this will be the first season where Spongy isn't the highest ranking armless contestant.
      • Coincidentally, they (Firey, Spongy, and Pencil) were also the 3 contestants put up for elimination in "Reveal Novum" for one of them to be eliminated in "Rescission".
  • This season has the lowest number of returning Season 1 contestants, at 11.
  • Saw, Needle, and Ice Cube are the only contestants to begin the season with design changes from BFB, as...
  • The logo for TPOT uses the "Wolpe Fanfare" font.
  • Kenzie Bryant has said that, when selecting the season's roster, the BFB team simply selected the contestants they wanted, leaving the rest for TPOT.[8]
  • According to Kenzie Bryant's CuriousCat, when questioned about a nonbinary character in TPOT, she refused to comment further due to "spoilers".[9]
  • In celebration of TPOT's release, #tpot became trending on Twitter with the caption, "A new season of the animated YouTube show Battle for Dream Island, titled the[sic] 'The Power of Two,' will be released".[10]
  • Some character poses at the ending sequence of the season's intro are references to the show's name, The Power Of Two:
    • Clock's clock hands are in the reading position of 2:00.
    • Price Tag's face reads as 'P:2', obviously meaning "Power of two".
    • TV's screen depicts a green version of the Utah teapot, in reference to the show's acronym as pronounced. The Utah teapot is a 3D model commonly used for digital render testing, as well as an in-joke amongst the computer graphics community.
    • Winner is holding up 2 fingers.
  • The final seconds of the intro reference the intros from Battle for Dream Island, Battle For Dream Island Again, and IDFB.
    • This includes the bassline during the mentioned scene which sounds reminiscent of the music for the intros of the first three seasons.
  • So far, this is the only season to have a character's name in it (Two).
  • Pin, Rocky, and Fries appear to be standing around a grotato plant in the intro.
  • This season's intro is the second one to feature its host(s); the first was BFB.
  • This season's intro is the second longest intro; the first is BFB 1's with 50 seconds (if you count the intro used for the entire season however, then TPOT's intro is the longest).
  • The intro is the first in BFDI's history to feature a death: Pie exploding after coming near a fire on Bomby's fuse.
  • Everything involving the EXITors will take place in TPOT, despite the EXIT being in Four, who is in BFB.
  • BFDI:TPOT currently has the least hosts out of any seasonm (excluding IDFB) as it only has 1.
  • The former BFB contestants who reach the final 15 in TPOT will be the only contestants who successfully surpass their placement in BFB.
  • After a character is eliminated, they will be no longer present in the credits in upcoming episodes.
  • So far, TPOT is seemingly the only competition season where the Announcer isn't involved, as BFDIA had him semi-hosting offscreen and BFB had him come back in the post-split.
  • This season has the least amount of vote difference percentages on average, with the eliminations after "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life" usually having less than a 1% difference.
  • Clock received the least votes out of anyone in any TPOT elimination so far, at 2,152 votes.
