— One, Category One

One is an Algebralian and the main antagonist of Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two. She made her first canon appearance in the stinger of "Outbreak At Stake" where she emerges from the damaged Moon. Prior to that, she first debuted in "X Finds Out His Value" and was shown as a recommended character in "The Tweested Temple". She had her first major role in "What's Up Bell's String?", where she is seen kidnapping characters and making deals with them.

Appearance[]

One is a light blue Arabic numeral 1. One's color is similar to that of Four's, albeit slightly paler. She is armless, unlike the other algebralians. On some occasions, One’s eyes appear slimmer and more tilted.

Changes[]

  • One is armless.
  • One is animated using rigs.
  • One's face is located at the top half of her body.
  • One is a neutral shade of blue.

  • One is a much lighter shade of blue.
  • One's face is located at the center of her body.
  • One's eyes are farther apart from each other.
  • One has less rounder edges.
  • One becomes armless again.

Personality[]

One likes to “help people out”, such as when she gave Fanny a new mouth and gave Ice Cube new legs. However, her full intentions are still unknown, but it’s suggested that she wants to get ahold of Two’s Power some way or another; saying she has power, just not enough. Her deals consist of offering various contestants things they desire, in return of them doing a “favor” for her later on. This may imply a more manipulative and sinister side, thus supporting the speculation of her being an antagonist for TPOT.

During "Category One", she shows her more malicious traits, such as blackmailing Basketball into making a deal with the threat of making Robot Flower (while programmed with Flower's Season 1 personality) even more destructive. This, as well as the storm in general, shows her complete callousness and pragmatism, not caring about the well being of any affected and remarking on her boredom while Basketball made her decision. In addition, the way she kept Basketball and the eliminated contestants she kidnapped may imply that she is forcing her victims to make deals with her.

During "Seasonal Shift" her true power and malevolence is shown as she helps trigger the ripping of the entire BFDI reality just to make Gaty sign her deal. Once she does, she effortlessly fixes most of the damage done. This shows how her want for Two's power (allegedly) is more important than the lives of the rest of the inhabitants of the BFDI universe.

It's alleged that the deals One makes with the contestants consist of if the contestants that signed the deal wins The Power of Two, all power is given to her. This is supported by the fact that, like previously stated, she wants Two’s Power all for herself.

One shows signs of mental instability in "Bottle For Dream Island". When Donut rejected her deal, she painstakingly removed his remaining limbs. She also is upset when the contestants she kidnapped try to escape with Six. She's shown to be sadistic and extremely impatient as well, not enjoying when things don't go her way, shown when she kidnapped Basketball, where she was shown being already irritated by the time Basketball was taking to sign the deal, and also when Donut kept asking questions and overall refused to even accept the deal. She even laughed and warned Donut to not mess with her while removing his limbs. It's also shown that her room is currently very destroyed, which may reflect her mental stability. She's also manipulative towards those who she kidnaps, trying to convince Donut to care about himself and even bringing up his own team. Another factor showing her manipulative personality is when she calls Pencil a menace, despite knowing she is the reason she joined the game in "Category One".

Powers and abilities[]

  • Nigh-Omnipotence: One has shown to possess near limitless levels of power, However she states herself to be seemingly weaker than Two and by extension Four, in her line "I do have power, but not enough", and her entire reason of offering deals to the contestants is to gain Two's power, however even without Two's power she is still a force to be reckoned with, she is shown to have near unrestricted control over fundamental forces including space, time, matter, and energy, and she is seemingly able to grant any request made in her deals, like granting a person new limbs or restoring someone's original personality, however One demonstrates how powerful she can be in "Seasonal Shift" where she was able to return reality to a more stable state before the Rift in Space-Time opened, seemingly with just a snap, and overall One has been shown to be able to do nearly anything anyone could imagine, showing that while she may fall short in power compared with the likes of Two and Four, she is still a godly being in her own right.
    • Super strength and/or telekinesis: In "Outbreak At Stake", she may have kicked a hole through the Moon in the second post-credit scene, or she used telekinesis to break a piece of it off. In "What's Up Bell's String?", she used telekinesis to hold Fanny's new mouth and the list she was holding, having names such as Bell, Bomby, Fanny, & Ice Cube with a tick on the left hand side. She probably used telekinesis with her mind.
    • Nigh-Omnipresence: One can be seen being in some of the contestant's dreams and hiding in plain sight in certain scenes. The contestant's dreams include: Black Hole, Pen, Winner, Barf Bag, and Book, but One is still in reality.
    • Technology/Electricity Manipulation: As seen in "Category One", One is able to manipulate Robot Flower's mind to go back to her previous self, and it's implied that they're also capable of making her personality even more destructive. She can also appear inside screens, as seen in the beginning of "Seasonal Shift".
    • Reality Warping: One has the ability to change, create, or even destroy parts of Dreamier Island, Grasslands, and possibly any other places indirectly only by using a miniature of the location she wants to warp in her dimension.
      • Anomaly removal in "Seasonal Shift" she was powerful enough to restore the entire world back to a more stable state before the Rift in Space-Time opened, probably by making it as if most the time travelling never happened. (However, since the rift itself was just reduced to a more manageable state for Black Hole, it's likely either she wasn't strong enough to completely fix it, or she could have done that on purpose to use the rift as leverage on her future victims. This seems more likely since she was completely fine with endangering all of existence since she is completely safe within her Dimension.)
      • Atmokinesis/Weather Manipulation: In "Category One", with her ability to warp reality, One can change the weather and create storms to cause havoc.
    • Manifestation/Omnipresence: When One shows up in TPOT 10, she can sometimes be seen as an object, engraving, outline, or any other inanimate thing. This is because One is in multiple places at once considering the dreams are taking place during the same time.
      • Warping: She isn't just able to transform themself. In "Category One", she can also be seen changing the content on the whiteboard without interacting with it directly. In "Bottle For Dream Island", One is also shown to be able to warp people's perceptions
    • Time Traveling: In "What's Up Bell's String?", One knew that Fanny lost her mouth at the bottom of the Goiky Canal in “Balancing P.A.C.T.”, even though One broke out of the moon in “Outbreak at Stake”.
    • Teleportation: One is able to teleport herself and other people as seen in "What's Up Bell's String?".
    • Super Speed: In "What's Up Bell's String?", during the Team Swap, One runs around shuffling the contestants at her will, finishing in just 17 frames, or less than a third of a second, all while Two is looking away. By the time that someone says something, One has crawled back into the bush, leaving Two (and seemingly the contestants) oblivious to what happened.
      • Black Hole Immunity: As One was shuffling the contestants, she moves Black Hole effortlessly without being warped by his gravity.
    • Conjuration: One can create objects out of thin air, as seen when she conjures a document for Fanny to sign in TPOT 12 or creating body parts to offer Ice Cube & Fanny, or in "Seasonal Shift" she creates a remote while talking with Gaty to show her what happened to the eliminated contestants she took.
    • Pocket Dimension: As seen in "What's Up Bell's String?" and "Category One", One can create pocket dimensions and manipulate the contents at will.
    • Body manipulation: One's foot extends and grows in size "What's Up Bell's String?" to grab Fanny.
    • Power Draining (Possibly): In "Seasonal Shift", she drains the Yoylite pieces of their time traveling powers, and it's implied she can do this to other Algebralians as well, either via her contracts or draining them of their powers forcefully, and judging by when she said to Gaty that she could gain Two's power in other ways, she most likely meant that she would forcefully drain Two of their powers.
    • Obfuscation: In "Bottle For Dream Island", she is able to ensure that certain contestants (notably, Tennis Ball) cannot comprehend the research that Ice Cube and Fanny done on her, by obfuscating the contents of the whiteboard, along with obfuscating Pillow's research notes when Golf Ball tries to read over them. It is also implied that she can obfuscate spoken words as well, as she suggests that even if Donut were to tell the other costestants what had happened to him, they would not even understand him.
    • Dismember (Possibly): In "Bottle For Dream Island", she is able to use her own telekinesis to take Donut's legs by force. This may just be a use of her telekinesis rather than it's own ability.

Coverage[]

Appearances[]

In "X Finds Out His Value", X finds out that his value is seven, which is considered to be a lucky number. One is seen watching Four & X with a frown on their face. Three, who is next to One, is also seen angry at Four & X, likely due to One & Three forming a thirteen, which is considered an unlucky number, and grunts.

One appeared in the modern art style for the first time as a recommended character in "The Tweested Temple", which revealed One is armless.

One is mentioned by Four in "Thanks for 1,000,000 subscribers!", but never makes an appearance. Once Four tells Nine that the subscriber count has reached 1,000,000 subscribers, Four tries to find One (and possibly another Zero) but he can't, and everyone decides that finding Ten is the best alternative. Seven also mentions that One is his BFF and asks Ten if they could take his place in the subscriber count.

Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two[]

In "Outbreak At Stake", One breaks herself out of the moon to greet the audience. This is One's first canonical appearance outside of the credits.

In "Oneirophobe's Nightmare", One doesn't have a major role, but is hidden in numerous scenes. Some of them are quick, while others are easily noticeable.

In "Out Of The Blue", One makes several more cameos. When Bracelety throws Roboty's plunger while behind Pencil's back while in the EXIT and after the EXITors managed to escape from Four's mouth, One can be seen blending in with a bush in the background, and for a split-second, her face can be seen as Four grabs the EXITors with their hand. One's other cameo is in the stinger, where they are seen as a drawing upon Purple Face entering the EXIT.

In "What's Up Bell's String?", One is first seen after teleporting Bomby and Bell behind a bush. She says it would be a great idea for them to get to know each other, teleporting the two alongside herself away. When the teams begin to swap, One switches up all the contestants to form them before they can choose them. During the challenge, One grabs Fanny and teleports her to an unknown location.

TPOT 13 ONE

One in TPOT.

The two sit down in chairs. One tries to spark up a conversation, and also mentions that she had been watching them for a while. She offers Fanny a new mouth, convincing her she was one of Two's old friends, adding that they could help each other out. Fanny reluctantly agrees, and gets her mouth back. One makes her sign a contract before teleporting her back to the grasslands.

One then teleports to the moon where Ice Cube was inside. She offers Ice Cube a new pair of legs, asking if she was down to make a deal. After the credits, Basketball watches One walk in the forest from behind a bush. One pulls out a list with several contestants, before greeting Basketball with no eye contact. She then teleports Basketball and themself away.

In "Category One", One shows a more sinister side. She kidnaps Basketball and shows her what her plan is to take Two's power. She then proceeds to try to convince Basketball to sign a deal. One blackmails her into doing this, by offering to restore Robot Flower, and if Basketball didn't help, she would disappear like Needle and Barf Bag. Basketball eventually agrees to sign the contract, to restore Robot Flower and remove the storm. One does not completely follow the agreement however, as she restores Robot Flower but keeps the storm. She also changed the whiteboard to allow two of the EXITors to join the game, instead of just one. It is implied One teleported Needle and Barf Bag to an unspecified location, only shown via some sort of recording device.

In "I SAID CAREFUL!!!", she briefly appears to spy on Gaty.

In "Seasonal Shift", One kidnaps Gaty and tries to convince her to agree to One's deal. One shows Gaty the list of contestants with Bell, Bomby, Fanny, Ice Cube, Barf Bag, Needle and Basketball all with ticked boxes next to their names. One then shows Gaty where the contestants who (presumably) didn't agree to One's deal went. One then helps everyone to remember the original timeline. One makes the Yoylite powerless when CloudYAY gets stuck in the past. Gaty then agrees to One's deal and reverts everything back to the original timeline.

In "The Power of Four", Fanny and Ice Cube start an investigation on One to find out as to why she's making deals with everyone, much to Two's depressed state over losing Gaty and Yellow Face's interruption. Ice Cube then notices her spying on Black Hole while he's trying to stabilize the crack in the sky and decides that they need someone reliable to help them, deciding that Donut and Golf Ball are the right people and goes to get them with Fanny, only for the two to accidentally get killed by Four. At the elimination, Ice Cube tells Fanny to let the word about One out, but also make sure she doesn't find out before being sucked into Two's elimination area by X. Later, after Tennis Ball gets tagged out during the hide and seek challenge, Fanny asks him to help her with the investigation on One.

In "Bottle for Dream Island", Fanny tries to show Tennis Ball the research she gathered on the whiteboard, but One uses her power to make him unable to clearly see it. As soon as Tennis Ball leaves, the drawing of One in the middle of the board comes alive and winks at Fanny before disappearing.

Later during the challenge, Donut gets launched into a dark room while trying to escape some spiders with Grassy and TV and ends up teleported to One's room, which looks completely torn apart and destroyed. One attempts to make a deal with him for new arms while watching as Bomby, Bell, Needle and Barf Bag arrive into the Equation Playground, where the four find Six hidden in a tree, who upon realizing that One sent them here leads them to the door that leads to the EXIT. As Donut is about to leave, One notices that he didn't sign the contract and attempts to manipulate him into going through with the deal, while also getting increasingly angry and claiming that it's okay for him to be a little selfish. Donut refuses the deal and kicks One away, causing her to snap and rip off his legs before kicking him into the portal and sending him back and mutters to herself how he is useless.

At the end of the episode, One, annoyed, dismisses her failure to get a deal with Donut and crosses his name on her list, she then continues to watch as Six and the others reach Four's door and try to open it. It is possible One locked door as there can be a faint warping sound, trying to prevent Six to escape through Four's door with Bomby, Bell, Barf Bag and Needle with her telekinesis.

Trivia[]

  • One appears in the titles of "Oneirophobe's Nightmare" and "Category One."
  • One is the only major Algebralien character to be armless.
    • As we see in "What's Up Bell's String?", One appears to grab Fanny with an arm, but it was later confirmed by the Jacknjellify Tiktok account that it was actually One's foot, with the account replying to a comment saying, "Nope, she is 100% #GripperLife".
  • One is one of the last Algebraliens to be featured in a video not as a recommended character since "X Finds Out His Value".
    • However, she isn't the latest. This title has been taken by Fourteen.
  • In the original storyboard of "X Finds Out His Value", One was supposed to say "Hmph!" first instead of Three.
  • One is the second Algebralien to have a female voice actor, with the first being Six.
  • One is one of the fifteen characters whose names has appeared in the title of an episode, along with Basketball, Bell, Bottle, Teardrop, Three, Four, X, Seven, Zero, Snowball, Donut, Black Hole, Puffball, & Taco.
  • One's cameo in TPOT was hinted at in a livestream by Cary when he was asked if One would appear in the future. His reply: "Cannot answer! That's something that you need to be patient to find the answer to."
  • One is the fourth Algebralien to have their first line spoken canonically, with the fifth being Six, the third being Two, the second being X, and the first being Four.
  • One's presence is very similar to how the Announcer was during the first half of BFDIA, as they were both incognito.
  • One is the first and only Algebralien who used telekinesis with her mind.
  • One has been seen alongside space/astronomical objects and motifs several times.
    • Her official debut begins by her coming out of the moon.
    • Her telekinesis power is star-shaped rather than the smooth undefined form of the other Algebraliens'.
    • What could possibly be her room also seems to be a space-themed room.
    • In I SAID CAREFUL!!!, a drawing of her is held to a fridge by a magnet shaped like a moon.
  • From "What's Up Bell's String?" to "The Power of Four", every single contestant who struck a deal with or was confirmed to be captured by One was voiced by either Satomi Hinatsu or Pokey.
    • However, in "Bottle For Dream Island", she took Donut who wasn't voiced by either Satomi nor Pokey but instead by Micheal Huang. He is the only character to refuse a deal with One, though, meaning every character to successfully make a deal with her are still voiced by Satomi and Pokey.
    • If Leafy really was captured by One, it would actually make Donut the second character voiced by Michael to be captured by One.
  • In “I SAID CAREFUL!!!” during the scene where Gaty is washing dishes in the Hotel kitchen, a refrigerator is shown, with them, Two, Three and Four are displayed as drawings. Their drawing is held up by a yellow moon magnet, representing their connection to the moon. They are more distant from every other drawing, but they are the closest to Three.
  • They are the first Algebralian to lack a full set of limbs, followed by Vrrrpt.
  • She, Zero, Five, Eight, Fourteen, and Fifteen are the only main algebralians to not be a host in TPOT 15.
  • It is still unknown for what One wants Two's power exactly.
    • Because of Three's appearances in TPOT, they might have a connection to One's deals.
  • There is a pattern where One plays a major role in odd episodes while only making cameos in even episodes, excluding "What's Up Bell's String?"
  • As of now, the contestants she was successful at making deals with are either voiced by Satomi Hinatsu or Pokey. Although Donut was voiced by Michael Huang, her deal with him wasn't successful. If it was revealed Leafy made a deal with One, then she would be the only contestant that One had a deal with to be voiced by Michael Huang.
