Battle for BFB (BFB), formerly known as Battle for BFDI, is Battle for Dream Island's fourth season. It was premiered on November 3, 2017 in international, with the release of Getting Teardrop to Talk. Unlike the previous seasons, there are 64 contestants. The hosts are Four and X that are from X Finds Out His Value, and there are four newbies who appeared in this season from the April Fools video, and their names are Foldy, Liy, Loser, and Stapy. The JSMS rated this show a SY6+ (suitable for youths 6+) in Episodes 1-10. It shifts to AS+ (approval suggested) in 11-34.
Overview
Unlike IDFB, Battle for BFB goes back to the traditional format of challenges and eliminations, similar to the first and second seasons. The elimination style changed to a choice of saving rather than eliminating in BFB 17.
The art style is more simplified and animated more loosely, which in turn allowed the running time of the first episode to be nearly half an hour-long, and later episodes to be able to be made within a shorter time frame.
Many unexplained plot changes have happened to let new characters join the cast and for old characters to return.
The premiere episode, "Getting Teardrop to Talk", introduces the fourth season's cast as well as the new hosts, Four and X from the 2008 jacknjellify video, "X Finds Out His Value".
Although the release of IDFB confirmed the end of BFDIA, the release of BFB does not confirm the end of IDFB. Since all of the characters are present (except for Evil Leafy and Nonexisty, including the ones that were originally trapped in the Locker of Losers, this might mean that IDFB is not canceled and BFB takes place sometime in the future. However, it is highly possible, as stated by Cary in his BFB 1 reaction video.
BFB 16 changed everything, Battle for BFDI was renamed to Battle for BFB because 40 contestants switched to TPOT. and was split into 2 shows and in BFB 18. four decided to put eliminated contestants into BRB.
What if there was no Split?
According to BFB 29, the show would've split anyways because of Fanny, Fries, and Bell convincing the 37 others to quit.
However, there is an AU where BFB 16 played out normal and 2 never showed up. It's the same case as BFDIADO, though, in which it's an AU (Alternate Universe) and not canon.
