History Sandbox / BoBoiBoyCharacterAndElementals

* ADayInTheLimelight: The social-media post from the official Monsta Account post about the daily life of the Elemental Forms when they are not being used in the battle. The most prominent mini stories like "How to be popular" featured [=BoBoiBoy=] Wind, "Taking care alien plant" featured [=BoBoiBoy=] Leaf and "Experiment with Light and Leaf" featured [=BoBoiBoy=] Light, Leaf and Fire.

The 6th Elemental Form to be unlocked, Leaf debuts in ''Galaxy'' season 1, episode 5, after [=BoBoiBoy=]'s watch absorbed it from Planet Rimbara. He's a scatterbrained and somewhat naive individual. His 2nd tier form, '''[=BoBoiBoy=] Thorn''', debuted earlier in the first movie after Ochobot grants him a needed upgrade to defeat Bora Ra. (Something something how does Rimba debut) His previous master is King Balakung.

* PowerDyesYourHair: [[spoiler:As Rimba, his hair change to dark green.]]

** In the special chapter in Issue 3 of Season 1 Galaxy, he causes Lightning and Fire to fight each other due to them mishearing each other's statements. When they continue fighting, Leaf and Gopal only watch them instead of trying to stop them.
** In Issue 8 and 9 of season 2 Galaxy, Thorn happily makes snarky statements toward Solar due to his overconfidence despite Solar constantly threatening to attack him if he cannot shut his mouth.

The 7th Elemental Form to be unlocked, Light debuts in the penultimate episode of the ''Galaxy'' season 1 finale, during the fight against Captain Vargoba. He's the most powerful and smartest of the elementals, and highly confident of himself, but he can be impatient when things don't go his way. His 2nd tier form, '''[=BoBoiBoy=] Solar''', debuted earlier in the first movie after Ochobot grants him a needed upgrade to defeat Bora Ra. His previous master is Retak'ka.

* ElementalAbsorption: His power watch is able to absorb elements, which he isn't initially aware of. Unlike Retak'ka, [=BoBoiBoy=] only absorbs small portion of the elements, so the ability doesn't harm him.

** In the original series, when [=BoBoiBoy=]'s elementals split to help Tok Aba deliver orders more efficiently, the trio slowly start losing their memories, which ends in Lightning getting captured and manipulated by Adu Du and Probe.
** Season 2 of ''Galaxy'' shows that this trait is still very much intact. When [[spoiler: Blaze and Ice are separated for almost two days in Baraju, the two gradually lose their memory. At first, it starts with a case of [[AccidentalMisnaming forgetting their friends' names]], but it soon devolves into a serious situation when they end up dueling one another and nearly use their 3rd-tier forms on each other because they couldn't remember who they are. Fortunately, the two are stopped from killing each other outright.]]

** Even in general, [=BoBoiBoy=]'s powers grow stronger when he gets angry. Hang Kasa exploits this by making sure [=BoBoiBoy=] thought he had died, which led to [=BoBoiBoy=] unlocking Elemental Fusion.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [=BoBoiBoy=] Thunderstorm and [=BoBoiBoy=] Fire/Blaze are both aggressive, powerful and acompanied by blood red eyes (Thunderstorm) or crimson (Fire/Blaze).

* SmartJerkAndNiceMoron: According to social media posts, Light/Solar gets along well with Leaf/Thorn despite their opposing personalities; the former is a mildly arrogant brainiac and the latter a KindheartedSimpleton. In season 2, their dynamic becomes more prominent which leads them to unlock the elemental fusion form named "[=BoBoiBoy=] Sori".

The 5th Elemental Form to be unlocked.

!!! 2nd Tier: [=BoBoiBoy=] Thorn
!!! 3nd Tier: [=BoBoiBoy=] Rimba

The 6th Elemental Form to be unlocked.

The 7th Elemental Form to be unlocked.

* AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: [[spoiler: After gaining Tempest, [=BoBoiBoy=] realizes that 3rd tier forms are difficult to control and fears that he will end up becoming like Retak'ka if he can't control his powers. Although he's able to control Rimba, [=BoBoiBoy=] is still wary about it to the extent of wanting Fang to be too close to him in battle.]]

* MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds: [=BoBoiBoy=] was almost closed to destroying Baraju due to his two amnesic Elemental Form, Blaze and Ice, fighting to each other and almost become Nova and Blizzard to finishing each other, not knowing their tremendous power are endanger not only his allies life but also the population of its planet.
* MindRape: [[spoiler:Happens when [=BoBoiBoy=] use [=BoBoiBoy=] Tempest twice as the result of using his tremendous wind power. It worsens during his second use during his training session due to suddenly remembering his trauma in two previous arcs and his fear of ending up just like Retak'ka, and ends with [=BoBoiBoy=] screaming in agony.]]

** In the first movie, [=BoBoiBoy=] is able to unlock his second tier forms of all of his elemental forms (and unlock two more) as well as the capability to do a Penta Elemental Split (splitting into five instead of just three). However, he loses all this by the start of Galaxy due to his Power Band upgrading and resetting.

** In the 2nd Season of Galaxy, he unlocks 3rd tier forms. [[spoiler: However, he's still learning how to tame them.]]

* NearDeathExperience: [=BoBoiBoy=] tends to have a lot of these while fighting the finale's bosses. He is nearly killed by Bora Ra in the first movie, nearly killed by Captain Vargoba in Galaxy, and again at the hands of Retak'ka in the second movie. He survives all of it though.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: '[=BoBoiBoy=]' is not his real name, but actually a nickname. We don't know what his real name is. In ''Temani Raya'', as toddler he also called as "Oboi" by his dad and one of his childhood best friend, possibly also a nickname too.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: Compared to his friends, [=BoBoiBoy=]'s ElementalPowers are incredibly powerful especially when he uses the 2nd or 3rd tier Elemental Forms. Unfortunately, using his powers on a large scale unwisely can lead to him being controlled by his Elemental Form, causing huge damage around him and potentially triggering a natural disaster. This has happened twice, caused by [=BoBoiBoy=] Fire/Blaze whose UnstoppableRage caused a volcanic eruption and [=BoBoiBoy=] Tempest who came close to destroying Windara due to his inability to control his new-found power.

** He gets knocked out of the sky in "[=BoBoiBoy=] Leaf vs the Pirates" by Captain Separo's hammer and [[TapOnTheHead crash-lands into a tree, allowing him to debut his Leaf form.]] This kind of impact is ''not survivable'', but the only real consequence this has on him is that his Leaf form is [[CloudCuckooLander very ditzy and scatterbrained.]]

** After defeating Vargoba in the same episode, he collapses and detransforms while in space, and Captain Kaizo has to save him. [[DownplayedTrope While he wounds up in a coma for five days]], a normal person will still NOT be able to survive THAT much space exposure.

** ''Original show'' - Right after [=BoBoiBoy=] defeated Adu du, he fainted from exhaustion. But he still leaves a smile on his face, knowing he saved his friends and Ochobot.

* StockShonenHero: [=BoBoiBoy=] is a compassionate young boy who gains ElementalPowers from a Power Sphere named Ochobot and is determined to protect Earth and later the galaxies from bad aliens. He is the son of legendary galactic superheroes who are mostly absent during his teenage years due to their duties and is also considered to be a SuperiorSuccessor 'to the previous Seven Elemental Masters. While he does have moments of being silly, both as himself and as an Elemental Superhero, [=BoBoiBoy=] is an [[BrainyBrunette intelligent student and mellow individual]]. As the story progresses, he leans more to being a [[{{Deconstructed}} deconstruction]] of this trope as he gets stressed due to his difficulty in juggling his heroic and student duties and controlling his new-found 3rd tier form that can potentially corrupt him which causes him to be afraid of his own powers.
* SuperiorSuccessor: Deconstructed. While it can't be denied that [=BoBoiBoy=] will surpass all his predecessors as a wielder of ElementalPowers, Season 2 of ''Galaxy'' shows that he isn't immune to the terrifying consequences of being unable to control the third tiers of the elemental forms, which almost makes him DrunkWithPower and close to destroying everything around him. [[spoiler:Issue 22 show [=BoBoiBoy=] still unable to control Tempest due to his repressed trauma which almost make him corrupted.]]
* SplitPersonalityMerge: After splitting, the elementals merge back to form the whole [=BoBoiBoy=]. They must do this quickly to avoid [[LaserGuidedAmnesia memory loss, which is the adverse effect of staying split for too long.]]

** Season 2 of ''Galaxy'' shows that this trait is still very much intact. When [[spoiler: Blaze and Ice are separated for almost two days in Baraju, the two [[LaserGuidedAmnesia gradually lose their memory]]. At first, it starts with a case of [[AccidentalMisnaming forgetting their friends' names]], but it soon devolves into a serious situation when they end up dueling one another and ''nearly use their 3rd-tier form'' on each other because they couldn't remember who they are. Fortunately, the two are stopped from killing each other outright.]]

* StumbledIntoThePlot: He encounters Probe stealing Tok Aba's cocoa by chance and had the power sphere who'd grant him and his friends superpowers follow him home as a result.

* StoryBreakerPower: As the most powerful of the Elemental Forms. Despite this, he still has [[CripplingOverspecialization weaknesses that prevent him from being used as often as the others]]. Also, the form exhausts [=Boboiboy=] faster than the others, possibly due to the sheer amount of power Solar's attacks have.

* WaveMotionGun: His only attack is this.

[[folder:Elemental Fusions ('''Unmarked Spoilers''')]]

[[AC:In General]]

* LateArrivalSpoiler: They are the climax power of [=BoBoiBoy=] in ''Movie 2'', but are prominently featured in the second season of Galaxy.

* BareFistedMonk: PlayedWith. He fights purely with martial arts infused with elemental powers, but summons Ice's Bow when he has to fight at range.

* SoleSurvivor: Blaze and Ice were the last elemental forms that were not stolen by Retak'ka.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Defied. When Gopal points out [=BoBoiBoy=] has only ever been using Frost Fire as his fusion, he experiments using a different form.

* AdaptationalBadass: Glacier only appear during Retak'ka destroy the dam and use Ice Golem to stop the destruction. Comic version of TheMovie 2 extend his appearance by made him have big role during fight and appear '''before''' Retak'ka destroy the dam. The moment when Retak'ka about to destroy the dam, instead of Ice Golem, it was Glacier use "Ice Wave" to stop his action.

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: His [[StoryBreakerPower Super Supra Blast]] is incredibly powerful, capable of sending someone ''out of a planet'' and obliterating them on the spot, but it's also very exhausting, meaning right after he uses it, he de-transforms and collapses. Downplayed somewhat by the fact [=BoBoiBoy=] has already used two fusion forms prior to this one.

* {{Troll}}: Sori inherited Thorn's mischievous side. When Sori is standing in front of Adu Du and Probe, seemingly wanting to finish them off with his power, while the bad alien and his Robot Buddy run away from him, he deactivates his attack, makes a FingerGun gesture at them and playfully says that he is just joking.

* EmbarrassingNickname: Gopal often calls him "Hampa" in Malay version or "Fumble" in English version due to he didn't know about his own power for the first time and felt that Gentar is the useless Fusion Form. Then after realized that Gentar can absorb electricity to gain his power, Gopal called him ''"[=BoBoiBoy=] Battery"''.
* {{Irony}}: Gentar is [[LargeHam hammy and overconfident]] like Fire/Blaze or Wind/Cyclone. But he was actually formed by two serious and calm Elemental Forms like Thunderstorm and Quake, while still inheriting some of Thunderstorm's aggressiveness.
* MadeOfIron: Gentar is immune to any laser attack because he actually absorbs the energy from the laser, which triggers his electricity absorption power. Gopal uses this again by ordering Probe to shoot Gentar with a massive laser beam to strengthen him.

** The Malay version of his EmbarrassingNickname (Hampa) means "useless", which is ''also'' a punny name that comes from the Malay names of Thunderstorm and Quake: '''Ha'''lilintar and Ge'''mpa'''.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Sopan mistakes Pato's warrior robot for an angry tribal warrior when he tries to calm it by using his power. When this proves ineffective, Sopan is suddenly stunned and Fang calls him out by saying that their opponent is not the real warriors.
* CultureEqualsCostume: Unlike the rest of the fusions who usually wear modern clothes, Sopan wears ''tanjak'' and Malay's silat uniform, reflecting his Malaysian heritage.

* StoryBreakerPower: Just like Supra, combining Cyclone and Solar's offensive power and speeds, he is able to fight against two robots who perfectly imitated a power of Pyrapi and Mawais. Since Cyclone also already got 3rd tier form, looks like Tempest also has influence to strengthen Sopan resulting on him becoming stronger than Supra.

* ApologeticAttacker: Often exclaims "sorry" when fighting.
* EdibleBludgeon: Downplayed. Sori spiked flail resembles a durian, but it can't be eaten.

** His Malay version of his EmbarrassingNickname (Hampa) despite means "Useless" is ''also'' a punny name comes from Thunderstorm and Quake Malay version name : '''Ha'''lilintar and Ge'''mpa'''.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Compared to every other elemental form whose tier 2 is an upgraded and intensified version, Ice is the only one who is fundamentally different from its base form, water.

* DropTheHammer: He uses a hammer as his weapon.

* AnimeHair:[[spoiler:Rimba not only has dark green hair but his hairstyle is more wild and messier than his original hair.]]

* BerserkButton: Downplayed. Thorn visibly annoyed when Solar call him "Weak-Minded" in '' Galaxy season 2 Issue 9'', but he didn't go berserk like how Fire or Lightning/Thunderstorm being mocked and underestimate by their opponent.

* CaringGardener: Social media posts confirm Leaf to take joy in caring for plants, sometimes with the help of his elemental brethren.

--> '''Solar:''' I CAN BLAST YOU ! THAT'S WHAT I CAN DO !
* ExoticEyeDesigns: [[spoiler:Rimba's eyes has two different corneas colors, neon green and lime green with dark green pupil. His eyes somehow similar with reptilian eyes.]]
* GreenThumb: Leaf/Thorn's power is to manipulate nature and plants.

* TechnicolorNinjas: [=BoBoiBoy=] Leaf/Thorn has this shade. He wears high-collar outfit especially Thorn who wear black and green outfit, has a fanny-bag that can help generate plants like vines and mini sharp-leaf shurikens, some technique is based of craft the tool and trap with plants.
* {{Troll}}: Despite his naivete and innocence, Leaf has moments that cause the others to feel annoyed by his statements, all for his amusement :

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Light/Solar is the last ElementalPowers that is unlocked by [=BoBoiBoy=], which mean that he is the actual youngest of the Elemental Forms. In Issue 8 and 9 of Season 2 Galaxy, Solar behaves like a smug and overconfident younger brother toward Thorn due to the former being naive and childish. As a result, Solar slightly looks down on Thorn to the point (in the Malay version) that he mocks Thorn as "Little Bro" or "Weak-minded", which makes Thorn visibly annoyed with Solar's attitude.

** Gentar means "tremble", which is befitting of such a fearsome fusion and opposite of his brave and fearless personality.

* {{Mecha}}: Thunder Golem appears to be one looking more mechanical than Giga and has Gentar controlling it in a cockpit.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Sopan mistakes Pato's warrior robot for an angry tribal warrior when he tries to calm it by using his power. When his power does not affect it, Sopan is suddenly stunned amd Fang calls him out by saying that their opponent is not the real warriors.
* CultureEqualsCostume: Unlike the rest of Fusion form who usually wear modern cloth, Sopan wear ''tanjak'' and Malay's silat uniform. Reflecting his Malaysian heritage.
* MeaningfulName: "Sopan" can mean polite or respectful in Malay. Reflected not only by his personality but also in his Malay cultural attire which is often used for formal events.

* SwissArmyWeapon: His weapon is a hand fan also can be a EnergyWeapon by generate a gold-colored energy to create a "Energy Kris"to defeats his opponents.

Initially a normal elementary student who went on a holiday trip to his grandfather's house on Rintis Island, he obtained elemental powers from a Power Sphera named Ochobot.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's very protective over his friends, especially Ochobot, but otherwise he's a very kind person. As long as you don't hurt his friends, you'll find that he's a great person to be around.

* EasyAmnesia: The side effect of using the Elemental Split for a long time causes the forms to become forgetful, and [=BoBoiBoy=] would gradually lose his memories, including his identity, until they merged back. Debates between elementals regarding which one is the 'real' [=BoBoiBoy=] have occured as a result.
* ElementalAbsorption: His power watch is able to absorb elements, which he isn't initially aware of. Unlike Retak'ka, [=BoBoiBoy=] only absorbs small portion of the elements, so the ability doesn't actually harm him.

Editor's note (@/BlackFaithStar): The entries for the titular character of ''Animation/BoBoiBoy'' initially had his own character-specific page ([[Characters/BoBoiBoy-BoBoiBoyElements here]] and [[Characters/BoBoiBoyBoBoiBoyElements here]]) before it [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16263743740A05359600&page=6#comment-132 was merged back]] with Characters/BoBoiBoy for not meeting the (then newly established) size requirement. The section has developed significantly since then, but is in need of major cleanup of grammar, probable shoehorns and context. I finally made this sandbox due to the hero's Elemental Forms suddenly being split to their own page (Characters/BoBoiBoyElementalForms) when they're typically listed under him as well.
