Fang



Private Pang, more commonly known as Fang, is one of the main characters in BoBoiBoy and BoBoiBoy Galaxy.

Background
Fang was born and raised on an undentified planet under two loving parents and an older brother named Kaizo. When he became of age, Fang started training under his own brother and joined his brother's team.

Sometime before the start of BoBoiBoy, Fang began studying Earth Life in preparation for his mission to infiltrate and spy on particular Earthlings.

Season 1
Fang makes his first appearance (though not considered his official debut) in the Extended Finale where he is seen at the Rintis Railway Station, exiting the train just as BoBoiBoy is about to leave Rintis Island.

Season 2
He makes his official debut in Season 2, Episode 1, at Rintis Island Primary School as one of the students. During his time as a student, Fang began to loathe BoBoiBoy, even though the two had never formally met. Fang had been constantly compared to BoBoiBoy by classmates and teacher and as a result, Fang grew bitter towards BoBoiBoy. In the episode, he is shown to be anti-social and cold towards others. However, he spies on BoBoiBoy when he uses his Elemental Split to help out at Tok Aba’s shop. Ochobot notices Fang in the bushes and the robot unexpectedly glitches before passing out.

Fang is discovered in The Haunted House (Season 2, Episode 2), where he attacks both BoBoiBoy and Adu Du's respective groups. He expresses his jealousy and resentment towards BoBoiBoy, telling him that it was his fault that he was unable to become popular. After this event he two kindle a fierce rivalry.

Their rivalry continues until he, BoBoiBoy and Gopal are forced to work together to defeat Adu Du (Season 2, Episode 6). When BoBoiBoy’s gang is shot with the Emotion Pistol Y, he and Ochobot starts to remember how he received his Power Watch: before BoBoiBoy returned to Rintis Island, Adu Du tricked Fang into luring Ochobot to his hideout, promising popularity if he followed his instructions. Ochobot was captured and fueled with Tok Aba’s cocoa, but he escaped to Pak Senin Koboi’s alley when his power overloaded. Fang found him and he hid both of them in a trash can, making Ochobot realise that Fang is a good guy. Adu Du and Probe found them and in a panic, Ochobot bestowed Fang with a Power Watch of Shadow Manipulation to defend himself with. The quickly situation spiraled out of control when Fang conjured a massive Shadow Dragon that overwhelmed him and left him unable to control it. Ochobot was forced to use the remains of his power overload to quell Fang’s power and stop the dragon from reaching the city. The exertion from the ordeal made them both faint and forget everything that happened that night.

Ever since Season 2, Episode 9 Fang officially becomes part of BoBoiBoy’s gang.

When Ejo Jo invades Earth in the season finale, he along with BoBoiBoy are the only two who manage to hold on to their Power Watches when the alien takes the others. He plays an integral part in the battle when he summons a giant Shadow Dragon to destroy Ejo Jo’s powerful combat robot, P.E.T.A.I.

Season 3
Directly after the events in Season 2, Fang has his Power Watch taken by Ejo Jo while he is unconscious. He gets it back after the alien is defeated.

After many battles with mostly arbitrary villains and major developments in other characters, Fang’s next biggest development came during the tailend of the Save The Planet special.

During the Earth carnival in ”Saving Planet Earth (Part 1)”, he joins the others in consoling a downtrodden BoBoiBoy in the classroom but soon leaves in a hurry upon receiving a message on his Power Watch. Later that night, he is seen in the Haunted House bringing up a hologram of Ejo Jo's ship, telling someone he has received the message and is now ready.

The next day, Fang is absent as BoBoiBoy’s gang and Adu Du’s Team prepare to confront Ejo Jo and his P.E.T.A.I. army. However, before they can engage, two more aliens arrive on Earth and defeat Ejo Jo in no time. Fang finally turns up and approaches the newcomers and it is revealed that Fang is not a human but an alien known as Private Pang. He has been tasked by Captain Kaizo, The Legendary Space Rebel, to find and retrieve the detected Power Watches on Earth—which were the ones under BoBoiBoy's Gang's possession—using any force necessary.

Although extremely reluctant, Fang is forced to fight his own friends to obtain their Power Watches—his own included—not only because they are Kaizo’s strict orders, but also to prevent his friends from getting hurt by his highly-skilled, seemingly ruthless captain.

Later, Fang contemplates where he actually stands morally and eventually decides to betray his captain in favor of his friends. He uses his newly revealed Perforation Power to steal the Power Watches back, planning to give them back to his friends when they intrude their ship. However, his plan is derailed when Kaizo reveals that he was aware of Fang's betrayal all along.

Subtly petrubed by Fang's betrayal, Kaizo offers another chance to BoBoiBoy, as well as Fang, to maintain possession of the Power Watches. There is only one condition: that they must defeat him and Lahap. They accept and Fang teams up with BoBoiBoy to battle Captain Kaizo.

Despite the difficult odds, BoBoiBoy’s Gang manages to defeat Kaizo. The captain reveals that his goal is actually to find righteous owners for the Power Watches and acknowledges that Fang and his friends have earned the right to them by showing they will only use their powers for good.

As they are about to leave, Kaizo gives Fang the option to return to Earth or remain with him. Ultimately, Fang decides to stay on Earth with his friends. He also reveals in passing that Kaizo is actually his older brother, much to his friend's fury as they believe he could have talked things out with him instead of letting them fight him.

BoBoiBoy Galaxy
Before the start of this series, Fang apparently left Earth and went back into space, presumably to continue his training under his brother, Kaizo. He had also joined the organization TAPOPS during this time, having passed the rigorous TAPOPS Toughness Test, as well as coming to a command of his own team, composed of two other members named Sai and Shielda.



He makes his debut in Episode 6, where he is en route of solo flight training. He receives an SOS signal from the TAPOPS spaceship and arrives to help them fend off the space mosquitoes that prey on spaceships’ fuel supply. However, because of the mushroom-like helmet, he is wearing, he is ridiculed by his friends, irritating him. Fang and BoBoiBoy manage to drive off the mosquitoes for good and he begins towing the spaceship towards the TAPOPS headquarters.

BoBoiBoy
Fang is a young humanoid alien with raven hair in a messy sort of style. He has noticeable similar features to his older brother, Captain Kaizo, both having the same hair color and eye color (the latter more noticeable in Galaxy). He greatly resembles a human being, rather than the Kubulus alien that the Rintis Island residents are used to.

In Season 2, he wears a magenta and dark blue jacket, grey sleeveless vest-like shirt underneath it, dark blue pants and a tricolour belt. He also wears magenta-white shoes and pair of purple fingerless glove. Fang always showed with a full-frame purple glasses which later revealed be his Alien-tech mask. While in school, he wears a regular school uniform but has his jacket tied around his waist. He seems to have gotten a new pair of glasses in Season 3.

BoBoiBoy Galaxy
Three years older, Fang has grown much taller than he was before, as well as looking much more well built. He wears a long sleeveless maroon-coloured jacket over a dark purple sleeveless turtleneck. He has two gray belts, one around his waist and the other buckling diagonally across his torso. His pants are dark gray and he dons gray-purple boots with dark gray soles and bands near the top. He has a pair of fingerless gloves along with a white and maroon gauntlet on his right arm and his Power Watch on top of an arm warmer the same colour as gloves on his left. His glasses now have red frames, light blue lens and are attached to an ear piece similar to his brother’s mask.

Personality


Fang first presented himself as a cold and unfriendly demeanor, much like his much older brother, Kaizo. He displayed a pompous and arrogant attitude, as well as a strong resentment towards BoBoiBoy. Although he seems to be a relatively calm person, under this calm exterior is a fiery temper, which is can be set off at the drop of the hat, mostly towards BoBoiBoy. Eventually, after spending time with BoBoiBoy, most of the resentment faded away by the end of Season 2. One of Fang's ultimate goals in life is to 'popular' even when he was a spy on Earth, which might be a side effect to having a super popular older brother.

Despite being arrogant sometimes, Fang is one to acknowledge and admit his own mistakes and shows remorse when he does things wrong. Fang began to hold his friendship to one even greater than his own brother. He betrayed and defied Kaizo in favor of his friends in Season 3. Despite all his bad points, Fang wants to be a good person, as a representation of all alien-kind.

In BoBoiBoy Galaxy, Fang had reasonably matured. He no longer carried his rivalry, jealousy, or his resentment for BoBoiBoy. He matured as a leader, as he had been tasked as captain of organized teams as well as the leader of his own team. Fang had also grown quite trendy, as he had worn a questionably fashionable mushroom helmet because it was a new fashion trend. As the series progresses, Fang has developed a little bit of a milder and passive personality. He wasn't as willing to fight his friends in the original series. It is likely he mellowed out after training under his cold and indifferent older brother.

Skills and Abilities
The kind of power that Ochobot gave to Fang is Shadow Manipulation. When Fang first received his power, he involuntarily conjured a huge Shadow Dragon that attacked Adu Du and Probe and nearly reached the city. Fang couldn't stop it, so Ochobot was the only one who could. After Ochobot stopped Fang's Shadow Dragon, he and Fang passed out from exertion, both apparently gaining some amnesia and losing their memories from that night. These memories resurfaced during the events of Season 2, Episode 8.

All of Fang's animal forms have glowing red eyes that appear to be on fire. Fang loses his power when it's sundown or sunset, as it was revealed in Season 2, Episode 2. This is most likely because there is no or limited light source for him to make shadows. However, when he first received his power, he was able to conjure a Shadow Dragon during nighttime. Another time when he used his power during nighttime was during Season 3, Episode 16 when he conjured a Shadow Tiger, Shadow Eagle, Shadow Shield and Shadow Finger Prick.

In Season 3, Episode 24, it is revealed that he has unlocked two new forms: Shadow Koala and Shadow Bear. This gives him a total of 16 shadow forms. He also revealed that he is actually an alien and has the ability to become intangible, like a ghost, thanks to his glasses (perforation power). However, Fang's ability when using his powers seems to have a limitation. He is only capable of using one type of power at a time, be it his Shadow Manipulation power or his Perforation Power.

In the movie, Fang receives an upgrade on his Shadow Manipulation. The upgrade enables him to fuse with his shadows, giving him the ability to use their powers, for example, Shadow Eagle's ability to fly.
