In "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", Lightning explains to Bubble that Loser was everyone's hero, so they're acting murderous because they don't know what's right anymore. He then decides to nab the Liar Ball from everyone else, which Bubble cries out for him not to.

Flower[]
Lightning and Flower are most likely enemies. Although Bubble told him to do what he felt was right after Match told him to zap Flower in "Getting Teardrop to Talk", he zaps her anyway, twice. This also happened in "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset", after Flower had enough of him clarifying the challenges.
In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", however, they appear to be slightly more friendly, as Lightning smiles at her when he catches her after she falls off the 500-step staircase.
In "Don't Dig Straight Down", when Flower corrects the path the team was taking in their path for the emerald, Lightning is impressed, telling her she "really knows her away around here."

Loser[]
It's unknown if Lightning was ever a fan of Loser like most of the other contestants. He's shown that he's aware that everyone looks up to him in "The Liar Ball You Don't Want".
Marker[]
When Lightning asked Marker if he wanted to be friends with him in "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Marker didn't seem interested. Lightning didn't care about his decision.
In "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", Marker and Lightning can't figure out why Donut isn't appearing on their camera until Lightning realizes that he was zoomed in on his hole.
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", Lightning accepts Marker's request at being friends and teammates, though he's still upset at him for refusing his offer back in BFB 1.
In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", when Marker asks if they have to trade his paperclip to Cloudy, Lightning excludes his paperclip from the deal while rolling his eyes. Later, Lightning saves Marker from getting shot by Teardrop. However, this results in Tennis Ball and Pen dying. When they're both recovered, Marker says that the ground feels tingly and Lightning replies that he feels nothing.
In "Gardening Zero", Marker pulls off Lightning's bracelet to send him back home.
In "Fishes and Dishes", Lightning asks Marker how they're gonna communicate with each other underwater. Marker says that they'll communicate through dance. Lightning calls his idea genius. Later, Marker thanks Lightning for melting the ice at the surface.
In "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", Lightning accidentally sets Marker on fire when he turns on the heat for a stove. Lightning finds a fish in the freezer and tosses it to Marker to make their meal. Later, Lightning tells Tree to use the time reversal ray on Marker to see if it removes the burns that he gave him earlier.

Pie[]
In "The Liar Ball You Don't Want", Lightning indirectly zaps Pie and causes her to fly away from the liar ball.
In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", Lightning thinks that they probably didn't ask Robot Flower for battery politely enough and Pie thinks he has a point.
Pillow[]
In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", Lightning tells Pillow to stop killing people with their acid. He also gasps when Marker says that Pillow use to be on Death P.A.C.T. When Pillow leaves, Lightning says that someone should follow her in case she tries killing more people.
In "Fishes and Dishes", Lightning laughs at Pillow as she can't toss him off the hotel.

In "Return of the Rocket Ship", he holds up the "10,000" banner with Puffball.
In "Gardening Zero", Lightning comes to comfort Puffball after she's abandoned by her team, and talks about how their teams might have something against flying contestants. Later during the challenge, Lightning suggests they play charades, but Puffball refuses, still wanting to contribute for her team. When asked if he still has the bracelet, he pulls it out and explains that he was kicked out intentionally and doesn't want to over-assist, and is content with not being able to contribute. Puffball thinks otherwise and attempts to steal it from him. He tries to reason with her that just because he can't contribute that doesn't warrant her stealing his bracelet. The two fight as Lighting zaps her, attempting to deter her, but after she slingshots herself toward him, she successfully steals his bracelet.
Remote[]
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", when Lightning explains that no one can go back down once they reach the top, Remote says that explains a lot and forgives him for not coming back down to help them earlier, and Lightning smiles. Lightning is also shocked and concerned for her when she removes her battery.
In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", Lightning and Black Hole take some batteries that they can use to revive Remote. When she's recharged, she asks if they won the challenge. Lightning thinks she's talking about the current one and says there's still 13 minutes left.
Robot Flower[]
In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", Lightning and his teammates asked Robot Flower for a battery 2,700 times.
Ruby[]
In "Get to the Top in 500 Steps", when Fanny and Snowball are arguing, Lightning can be seen leaning on Ruby's head.
Lightning leaning on Ruby's head
In "Return of the Rocket Ship", Ruby calls Lightning "thunder." He then says it would be like if he called her "shatter sound." Ruby angrily replies that he didn't need to threaten her and that if he didn't want to dig he could've just said so. Lightning is caught off guard by her anger and clarifies that he really wants to dig and digs a massive hole in the ground to prove it.
In "Don't Dig Straight Down", Lightning asks his team if they really just skipped an emerald just because Golf Ball was there. Ruby says it's no big deal since they could just find another one. Lightning has his doubts but is surprised when Ruby ends up finding one.

Spongy[]
In "Getting Teardrop to Talk", Lightning zaps Spongy. This, however, was against his own will because Pencil told him to.
Teardrop[]
In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", Lightning wanted Teardrop to join their team and gets sad after Golf Ball says that she shouldn't join their team. During the challenge, Lightning joins his team in ruining Teardrop's stack when she suddenly shoots Fanny. After indirectly killing Pen and Tennis Ball, Lightning tells Teardrop to stop making them cause death, which results in him getting shot.
Tree[]
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", Lightning asks Tree if he has to be good at preventing death to join his team. Tree says no and that they accept students, so Lightning joins, asking "Why didn't you say so?" During the challenge, Lightning makes it to the top of the building. Tree tries asking him how everyone else is supposed to get up. Lightning is unable to hear him, but after Tree uses a megaphone, Lightning tries going down in order to get the rest of his team, but isn't able to. When Tree dreads over having to go down to get Black Hole, Lightning tells him they aren't allowed to go back down.
In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", Lightning thinks that they probably didn't ask Robot Flower for battery politely enough, annoying Tree. When that doesn't work, Lightning thinks they haven't asked rudely enough. Tree asks why they're still doing this after asking 2,700 times. Cloudy enters the room, and Tree says they should ask Cloudy for a battery. Tree offers his cake slice to Lightning, but Lightning says that they're special deserts for special occasions, and that they won't take more than they earned. Making Tree answer "okay" awkwardly. Later, Lightning suggests that someone should follow Pillow to stop her from killing people. Remote volunteers and Tree compliments her for this. Lightning tries to say that it was his idea, but Tree cuts him off again to say that they should steal more blocks and Lightning replies with a dejected "Okay."
In "Fishes and Dishes", when Tree can't squeeze through a hole in the ice, he reaches up and taps Lightning. Lightning knows what to do and zaps the ice, melting it. Tree then tosses him the plate to give to Two.
In "The Great Goikian Bake-Off", Lightning tells Tree to use the time reversal ray on Marker, to see if it removes his burn marks.
Two[]
In "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?", when Lightning attempts to go back down to get his teammates, Two stops him with their powers and tells him that he's not allowed. When his team loses, Lightning feels remorse until he's reminded that Two made things difficult for them by not mentioning the rules loud enough. Lightning then zaps them twice.
In "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life", Lightning takes offense to Two saying that their team made an error, likely referencing how it was Two's inability to explain all of the rules that cost them the challenge.
In "Getting Puffball To Think About Rollercoasters", when Two says that Fanny has a point in regards as to why their amusement park isn't a success, Lightning asks if they meant the part where Fanny said that they all hate it.
In "Fishes and Dishes", when Two saves Price Tag from falling by catching them with a strand of noodles, Lightning compliments them for their death prevention.
In "The Seven Wonders of Goiky", Lightning asks Two to recount the votes when he's eliminated. He gets so angry about this that he then zaps Two.
