Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two (BFDI:TPOT), also known as simply The Power of Two (TPOT), is the fifth season of the Battle for Dream Island series, with its first two episodes written by Satomi Hinatsu and Kenzie Bryant and later episodes written by Sam Thornbury and Cary Huang.
Also, Lenaijotek464646 edited the original page.
The season is hosted by Two and was announced in "The Escape from Four". The Power of Two consists of forty contestants from the original Battle for BFDI (plus two recommended character contestants and Teardrop, who competes on her own), while the other fourteen 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 and ended up being released on January 10, 2021.
The intro was made by Elias A. "coal bones", RickToons, and Amor Boretto, and the song is called "Gibberish!!".
If each episode continues the trend of having two characters eliminated each, there will be at least 21 episodes.

Overview[]
This season was created following the split of Battle For BFDI, one being the second 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. Eraser joined the season and competed on his 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. 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 Sam Thornbury writing TPOT 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8, and Cary Huang writing TPOT 4.
TPOT is running concurrently with the 2023 revival of Battle for Dream Island Again, since the release of "Well Rested" on September 1, 2023.

Trivia[]
- 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.
- 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.
- ...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.
- It is also the first season to have two back-to-back debuts, Eraser joins in the second episode.
- ... to have a Cake at Stake in its first episode.
- ...to have double eliminations used as a form of voting.
- This is also the first season to have two teams up for elimination at once.
- This is the first season of the BFDI series 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).
- The acronym TPOT sounds like "teapot". This was hinted on March 19, 2020 with a picture of X holding a teapot posted on Jacknjellify's Twitter and community page.
- Four to the power of two equals sixteen (), which jokingly refers to the episode number from Battle for BFDI.
- Kenzie Bryant supposedly came up with the name "TPOT".
- It seems it was also possible that the contestants were able to switch between Battle for BFB and this competition if they wanted to. 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 second-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, Ice Cube, Rocky, Firey, Spongy and Needle will be the only characters who were in every season of BFDI.
- This makes this the first season to not include Coiny, Golf Ball, Pencil, Pin and Tennis Ball (although Pencil will be making appearances during the EXITOR segments).
- This season has the least number of returning season one contestants, at 11.
- Saw, Needle, and Ice Cube are the only contestants to begin the season with design changes from BFB:
- Saw has her pink handle, which was first shown in "Return of the Rocket Ship".
- Needle is CGI, due to eating the Photo Cake that Leafy gave her in "Get to the Top in 500 Steps". She became non-CGI again after being hit by a cake in "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life".
- Ice Cube is tiny, due to getting shrunken down in Four's hot soup in "Return of the Rocket Ship". She became big again after dying in "The Worst Day of Black Hole's Life".
- It is later revealed that only Saw's design change is permanent and that Ice Cube's and Needle's are just temporary as seen at the end of the TPOT intro.
- David, Dora and Lollipop also still have their changes, but they aren't competing.
- The logo's font is Wolpe Fanfare.
- 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.
- According to Kenzie Bryant's CuriousCat, when questioned about a nonbinary character in TPOT, she refused to comment further due to "spoilers".
- "You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?" would end up introducing two nonbinary characters, those being Winner and Price Tag.
- 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".
- This is the second season to use votes to save; Battle for BFB was the first.
- This is the second season to allow another contestant to debut due to someone else being absent; Battle for Dream Island Again was the first.
- This is the second season to have the first words spoken by Michael (as Yellow Face, or Four in a recording) instead of Cary, with BFB being the first.
- This is the second season to have a newbie 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.
- Some of the contestants reference the season's name at the end of the intro:
- Clock's clock hands are in the 2:00 position.
- Price Tag's face says "P:2".
- TV shows the Utah teapot in reference to the show's acronym. The Utah teapot is a common 3D test model that is an in-joke among the computer graphics community.
- Winner is holding up two fingers.
- The final seconds in the intro reference the intros from Battle for Dream Island to IDFB.
- Even the bassline during that scene sounds reminiscent of the music theme for the first three seasons' intros.
- So far, this is the only season to have a character's name in it (Two).
- Ruby, 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 2nd longest intro; the first is BFB 1's with 50 seconds.
- However, if one only counts the intro used for the entire season, then TPOT's intro is indeed 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 season, excluding IDFB, having 1.
- The former contestants who reach the final fifteen in TPOT will be the only contestants who successfully surpass their placement in BFB.
- This is excluding Eraser, who would have to reach the final twelve to surpass his BFB rank.
- Due to Teardrop being on her own team, TPOT is the second season to have uneven teams after BFDIA
- After a character is eliminated, they will be no longer present in the credits in upcoming episodes.
- So far, TPOT seems to be the only competition season where the Announcer isn't involved, as BFDIA had him semi-hosting offscreen and BFB had him come back 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" having less than a 1% difference.
- However, the least amount of vote difference percent was in Battle for BFB in the episode Who Stole Donut's Diary?, which only had a 0.002% difference.
- Clock received the least votes out of everyone in any TPOT elimination, at 2,152 votes.
