Trivia / BoBoiBoy

• Acting for Two: The BoBoiBoy series has a lot of characters who share the same voice actors:
  • Anas Abdul Aziz voices Tok Aba, Adu Du, his Robot Buddy Probe, and several other characters such as Tok Aba, Mr. Mat, Mr. Kumar, the Sleep Monster, Yoyo Oo and Commander Koko Ci.
  • Nizam Razak voices Papa Zola, Bago Go and the latter's brothers.
  • In Disney Channel's English dub, Wong Wai Kay voices both BoBoiBoy and Fang.
• Author's Saving Throw:
  • After receiving some complaints from viewers that the show became rather dull and boring due to having more humorous moments rather than being more serious, the first movie and "BoBoiBoy Galaxy" starts introducing more sinister and serious villains that make the show have an even Darker and Edgier side while still retaining usual humorous elements, with that and its artstyle leaning further into Animesque territory.
  • Since most of the non-Malaysian fandom is curious about how the series continues from the comics and not all of them understand Bahasa Malaysia, the creators decided to release English versions of BoBoiBoy Galaxy Season 2 for digital release on Google Play Books, Comixology and Webtoon.
  • Wind/Cyclone rarely wins fights and often loses or forces BoBoiBoy to switch forms. The debut of BoBoiBoy Tempest shows that this element is still powerful and something to be taken seriously. Wind/Cyclone also the element lack on focused during the Fusion form arc in season 2. Issue 20 finally give him a chance of has fusion form with Solar named "BoBoiBoy Sopan".
  • Some fans complain about the show lacking a main female antagonist who serves as the main threat of the series arc, since most of them act as one-time villains or main villain's minions. Issue 22 and 23 finally introduce Kira'na, who serves as one of the main antagonists in Season 2 Galaxy and who is shown to be more dangerous, manipulative and capable in battle compared to the other female antagonists while still being sympathetic character.
• Completely Different Title: The Kazakh dub is known as Jeńimpaz Jetkinshekter (Жеңімпаз Жеткіншектер), meaning "Victorious Youth".
• Cross-Dressing Voice: BoBoiBoy is voiced by a girl, Nur Fathiah Diaz. This isn't the first time she's voiced male title characters.
• Descended Creator: Nizam Razak, the director of Season 1 and the founder of the series' production company Animonsta Studios, voices Papa Zola, Bago Go, Wak Baga Ga, and the Burgerman in both Malaysian and English.
• Development Gag: The original idea was for BoBoiBoy's Signature Headgear to be a Hat of Power with 3 eyes, but the idea was rejected as impractical and also too scary. The 3 eyed cap would make a return in the BoBoiBoy Galaxy episode "Copy and Paste" as uncanny Evil Knockoff clones of him would bear caps with 3 bugged-out eyes.
• In My Language, That Sounds Like...: Although the series was aired in and was quite popular in the Philippines, the word "bobo" in Filipino means "idiot" and is generally considered the ultimate insult amongst kids.
• Meme Acknowledgment: Many of fans like to refer BoBoiBoy Lightning/Thunderstorm is popular among fans due to having an edgy style. In the English version of Instagram's mini-story,BoBoiBoy Wind attempts to be popular by trying to mimic Lightning's style with the caption "gotta frown to complete the Edgy look". Seems the creator is completely aware of what makes Lightning/Thunderstorm insanely popular and memorable, mainly because of his look.
• Milestone Celebration: To commemorate the series' 10th anniversary since its debut on 13th March 2011, an extended version of the very first episode was released (albeit a day late) on 14th March 2021. A newly animated prologue and epilogue are added with the unchanged pilot in between them. Their footage solidifies the man from the post-credits scene of BoBoiBoy Movie 2 to be BoBoiBoy's father as well as a galactic superhero, despite there being no indication of his father's true occupation early in the series.
• Multiple Languages, Same Voice Actor: Anas Abdul Aziz voices Tok Aba, Adu Du and Probe in both the original Malay and the English dubs. The voice of Fang, Wong Wai Kay, also voices his character in English and Malay.
• No Export for You: There is an English dub of the show in the Philippines, but not in America, most likely due to the show being more popular in parts of Asia than in America.
• Real-Life Relative:
  • The voice actors of the video-game couple, Papa Zola (Nizam Razak) and Mama Zila (Ezdiani Ahmad Fawzi), are a married couple in real-life.
  • Wong Way Pang, the English dub VA for Captain Kaizo (Fang's older brother) in the Galaxy series, is ironically the younger brother of Wong Way Kay (Fang's VA). While their father, Wong Pak Lin, voices Hang Kasa, a mentor figure who debuts in the second film.
  • BoBoiBoy and Ochobot share a close bond, like that of siblings. Their respective voice actors in Malay are Nur Fathiah Diaz and Muhammad Fathi Bin Diaz, who are real life siblings. For the dubs, before their voices changed due to puberty, Wong Way Kay voiced English BoBoiBoy for Disney Channel, and Wong Way Pang voiced English Ochobot for Monsta's Youtube Channel.
• Recursive Adaptation: BoBoiBoy Galaxy Season 2, a comic book adaptation of the BoBoiBoy Galaxy animated TV show, got turned into an animated TV show in its own right in 2023.
• Sequel in Another Medium: The story of BoBoiBoy Galaxy was not continued with a second proper television season; it was instead continued as a comic book series being advertised as Season 2.
• Voiced Differently in the Dub: BoBoiBoy was originally voiced by Nur Fatihah Diaz. However, in the English dub, BoBoiBoy seems to have a more masculine voice, due to the fact that Wong Wai Kay, the original and English voice actor for Fang, fills the role instead.
• What Could Have Been: The 2009 reveal trailer and materials associated with it show a number of differences from the final product:
  • BoBoiBoy was named "BoBoi" and his dinosaur hat had three eyes. In addition, he shot lightning out of his hands rather than throwing it as in the final show.
  • Yaya's hijab likewise had a pair of eyes.
  • Adu Du was originally supposed to be a hero alongside BoBoiBoy and Yaya, and he had a dark blue vest on top of his usual getup.
  • A character named BoBot who didn't make it into the final product is shown. He's a red-colored robot with a screen for a head, likely meant to be some kind of robot sidekick to BoBoiBoy similar to Ochobot.
  • Tok Aba's hot cocoa shop was a proper building, rather than a stand.
