Personality[]
Eight, unlike most of his number friends, seems to exhibit a lot less emotion than them. He speaks in a deadpan tone and he's rather aloof, being indifferent about Seven not leaving the subscriber count. However, he's also easy to get along with and is mature and quite reasonable, relinquishing his place from the subscriber count without force and telling the viewers to only subscribe if they wanted to.
His cynical, tired yet mature attitude is best summed up when reacting to Pie being attacked by Pi. While Two is notably concerned and Six being the exact opposite, Eight merely sighs at Two's suggestion, knowing action must be taken, even if he doesn't want to help.
Powers and abilities[]
The Power of Eight: Eight can be shown having their own power they had gotten from the Yoylite in Alone, and has the same powers that are subject to any Algebralien.
- Lava Resistance: It's likely that Eight is immune to lava since he pops a lava bubble with Two inside, given that his body is mostly solid.
Coverage[]
Appearances[]
- Pre-BFDI
- Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two
- "Last One Standing" (cameo)
- "Alone"
- Non-canon appearances
In "X Finds Out His Value", Eight is one of the numbers in the Equation Playground, saying "Huh?" when Four picked them up and put them on the seesaw.
Eight appeared again in "Thanks for 700,000 subscribers!", when Four asked Eight about the fact that Eight may be the next number on the sub count. Eight responds with the fact that they don't really care about it and it's up to the viewers to subscribe. Four then praises Eight, only for Eight to remind Four that he called Eight "too heavy" in "X Finds Out His Value".
In "Thanks for 800,000 subscribers!", Seven refused to leave the sub count. Eight didn't care if they were in the sub count, but Four says Eight should be in the sub count. They also pointed out that Six was spinning around the Earth to Four. Eight didn't seem enthusiastic about Nine showing up and questioned Nine's plan when they stood still. When Seven still refuses to get off the sub count, they tell Six that they "know what to do" and Six kicks Seven off the sub count so Eight can take their place. Eight looks unamused and unenthusiastically says "hooray".
In "Thanks for 900,000 subscribers!", Eight is the target of Nine and Six, in order to allow Nine to take his place in the sub count. However, when they approach him with the boot they made, he simply gives up his place, stating that he knows how numbers work, much to the disappointment of Nine, who wonders what they could've done with their wasted time.
In "Thanks for 1,000,000 subscribers!", Eight is first seen playing cards with the others. After Ten's existence is explained to him, he leaves while the others compete in Battle for Permission to Meet 10. When Five is about to be eliminated, he tells them to stop as he brings Ten. When asked about where he found Ten, he states they were in the Even Number Clubhouse. Because he found Ten, he technically won BFPTM10, and as his prize, he wins 99 trillion dollars.
In "Thanks for 1,500,000 Subscribers!", he welcomes "Fifteen" back and is the one to ask about Six and Nine. After Six and Nine separate and begin fighting, he and Ten tell the two to cut it out.
In "Thanks for 2,000,000 Subscribers!", Eight is seen with the others playing Jenga. Later in the episode, he is pranked by Fourteen, who vandalizes his cards.
In "Thanks for 2,763,000 Subscribers!", Eight is seen with Two in the Even Number Clubhouse. After leaving it due to the broadcast, they come across a huge lava wave and are submerged. Despite this, they turn out to be fine, thanks to Two summoning a "platonic friendship bubble" to keep them safe. Upon arriving at Zero's Base, they join everyone else and head upstairs to watch the video. However, Two Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty-Three breaks in and kidnaps the duo alongside Five, Six, and Seven.
Trivia[]
- Despite "Battle for Permission to Meet 10" being non-canon, it technically makes Eight the first integer to win a competition game.
- He is the only integer to not be recommended in Battle for BFB.
- He is supposedly made of "pure lead".
- He has a voice similar to Snowball.
- He, Zero, Five, and Fifteen are the only main algebraliens to not appear in canon BFDI.
- He, Zero, One, Five, Fourteen, and Fifteen are the only main algebraliens to not be a host.
- Each Algebralien, before getting their powers, looked slightly paler. Eight's color code before he got his powers from the Yoylite was #838583, where each color value, ironically, in hexadecimal contains the number 8, which is his actual value. He is the only Algebralien to have this coincidence whether it was his color before he got his powers or not.
