A Fiery Fight

The Heated Battle (Pertarungan Hangat) is the eleventh episode of BoBoiBoy Galaxy. It aired on TV3 at June 8, 2017.

Summary
BoBoiBoy, Yaya, Ying, and Gopal go to a dangerous planet where their Toughness Test is held. They must defeat Team A and retrieve the Power Sphere hidden there.

Plot
Admiral Tarung asks the gang if they really want to take the Toughness Test. BoBoiBoy agrees and Yaya and Ying reaffirm that the consequences for failing are punishment and expulsion from TAPOPS. Tarung shows them the location of their Toughness Test: Planet Volcania, a planet filled with active volcanoes and rivers of molten lava. Koko Ci explains that it's a simulation in which their task is to retrieve a Power Sphere hidden on that planet. Gopal expresses relief that it's only a simulation, prompting a sly grin from Tarung.

In response to a question asked by Ying, Koko Ci points out the Power Sphere on a peak of the volcano in Planet Volcania. Tarung explains that 2 teams will be involved in retrieving the Power Sphere: Team A and B, Team B being BoBoiBoy’s gang. Team A remains unnamed but are revealed to already be on Planet Volcania. Tarung calls Ochobot to the room (whose appearance shocks the gang since he returned on Earth in Episode 7) to teleport Team B to the planet. As the gang stare in awe of the portal, Tarung loses his patience and flings BoBoiBoy and Gopal through, releasing a drone-like robot to monitor their progress.

As they take in their new surroundings, BoBoiBoy sees the volcano where the Power Sphere is located in the distance. Gopal assures them it will be easy, inadvertently setting off a geyser and getting hurt. As more geysers surrounding them start going off, BoBoiBoy tells them to run. Tarung laughs at their retreat, thinking that they'll fail the test. BoBoiBoy and the gang ran until they reach a lava river at the volcano base. Ying uses her power to jump across the rocks protruding from the lava and Yaya uses her gravitational lift to lift the rocks so BoBoiBoy and Gopal can get across. Unbeknownst to the others, Fang notices two shadowy figures in the distance and follows them instead.

Meanwhile, Gopal is about to jump across but doesn't see the lava about to erupt under him. BoBoiBoy pushes him out of the way and on to the other side, getting burned by the lava himself. BoBoiBoy's Power Band starts glitching after coming into contact with the lava. He wonders how he was still hurt despite the test being a simulation, prompting Tarung to reveal that it's real not a simulation. Koko Ci apologizes for lying and admits that those tests are usually conducted via simulation. BoBoiBoy points out that it would be dangerous for them if the tests are conducted in a real-life environment but Tarung invites them to drop out and fail if it's too much for them. After chiding Gopal for wanting to quit, BoBoiBoy finally notices that Fang is missing. Tarung tells them that Fang is already ahead of them so they continue their journey to the volcano.

Once they reach the top, Yaya finds the Power Sphere. BoBoiBoy tries to get the Power Sphere but is ambushed by Fang. Fang reveals that he is in fact a member of Team A—not Team B as they originally thought—and that his goal is to prevent Team B from retrieving the Power Sphere. Gopal doubts that Fang can be called a team as he is only one person, to which Fang responds by calling the other two members that he saw earlier. Fang introduces them as Sai and Shielda. BoBoiBoy shyly introduces himself but Gopal pulls him back, saying that they were their enemies.

Suddenly, a shield flies past Gopal, cutting several rocks into pieces and flying back to Sai like a boomerang. His skill amazes BoBoiBoy and Gopal, their behaviour only prompting Team A to dub them as weak and easy targets. Enraged, Yaya and Ying attack Team A, only for Shielda to block, absorb and reflect their attacks. Koko Ci attempts to warn them about Shielda's power but Tarung interrupts and scolds him for exposing the information. Gopal discovers that Koko Ci was telling the truth and that Shielda’s shield can deflect both physical and verbal attacks.

As Ying tries to encourage Gopal, she is injured by Sai's shield while distracted. Yaya becomes furious and using her gravity powers, lifts up all of the nearby rocks to hurl at Sai and Shielda. They defend themselves using their shields. Ying convinces BoBoiBoy to leave them and get the Power Sphere as fast as possible to end the test. BoBoiBoy transforms into BoBoiBoy Wind and flies towards the volcano, pursued by Fang on his Shadow Falcon who tries to attack him with Shadow Hands.

Meanwhile, Shielda gains some ground on Yaya despite her relentless rock throwing. Shielda hits her shield into the ground, sending a trail of rocks which knock Yaya out of the air. Sai then attacks her and Ying using his Zig-Zag Shield Throw. Ying attempts to slow it down but to Gopal's shock, the shield is unaffected by Ying's slow-mo field. Sai's shield collides with the ground, creating an explosion that defeats Yaya and Ying. BoBoiBoy Wind and Fang are shocked to see them defeated, the latter hesitating and asking BoBoiBoy to surrender so that they will no longer get hurt. As Fang causes BoBoiBoy Wind to crash into the volcano floor Koko Ci asks Tarung to stop the test but he refuses.

Sai and Shielda advance towards Yaya and Ying and confront Gopal standing in front them to protect his friends. He tries to use his Food Blast but Shielda reflects it. Meanwhile, BoBoiBoy reverts to his normal form and Fang asks if he's okay, apologizing for his behaviour as he is under orders to act against them. Sai and Shielda arrive and show them that Gopal has been defeated along with Yaya and Ying. Tears begin to well up in BoBoiBoy's eyes.

Sai and Shielda decide to finish BoBoiBoy, but Fang insists that this is enough and they have already defeated them. Sai mocks Fang for feeling sympathetic towards the Earthlings and Shielda wonders when he became “weak like them”. Enraged at being called weak, BoBoiBoy finds strength to stand up as his body starts emitting smoke. Feeling the urge to prove who are the weaker ones, BoBoiBoy transforms into BoBoiBoy Fire. This shocked Koko Ci while Tarung felt amused.

BoBoiBoy Fire senda his Flaming Punch to Fang, which he blocks with Shadow Hand. BoBoiBoy Fire then went behind Fang and sent out a Flaming Kick, which is blocked by Shielda and reflected to a nearby rock. Sai throws his shield and controls it, trying to hit BoBoiBoy Fire but he dodges every move. While he’s distracted, Shielda slams her shield into him, pushing him into a wall. Fang realises they are going too far and yells for them to stop, fearing BoBoiBoy would be severely injured. However, her shield glows and BoBoiBoy Fire punches the shield away. He uses Rapid-fire Attack on Team A and they are barely able to defend themselves. As he continues his attack, Yaya, Ying and Gopal wake up in time to witness the fight. BoBoiBoy Fire releases a Red-hot Flaming Punch, which Team A is unable to dodge.

Ying, Yaya and Gopal run to get the Power Sphere. Suddenly the volcano begins to tremble violently. Koko Ci realises that the volcano had became unstable due to BoBoiBoy Fire's attack. As Yaya and Ying go to the Power Sphere, Gopal asks Admiral Tarung to abort the test as the volcano is about to erupt.

BoBoiBoy Fire stands victoriously and laughs, asking Team A who the weakling is now. Fang implores him to calm down and remember who he is. Shielda surrenders but Sai doesn’t want to give up. He uses Maximum Spin and throws his shield at full force towards BoBoiBoy Fire but he dodges it effortlessly. Sai turns the shield around, attempting to hit him from behind, but BoBoiBoy Fire catches the shield and stops it in its tracks, shocking Team A.

He sets it on fire and throws it back to Sai. Before it reaches him, a teleportation portal opens and the shield stops in front of him. It turns out that Tarung had grabbed the shield with his teeth. Tarung announces that the test is over, relieving Team A. BoBoiBoy Fire argues that Team A has crossed the line. Tarung tells him to calm down and take deep breaths. As BoBoiBoy Fire slowly calmed down, Ochobot tells him that the test is over and he does not need to be angry anymore. With that, BoBoiBoy reverts back to normal.

More rocks fall in the area so Koko Ci calls out to Yaya, Ying and Gopal. They respond run towards the group. Everyone enters the portal and make it safely to TAPOPS Space Station. The computer screen shows the volcano erupting and sending out a shockwave that disables the camera droid left there.

BoBoiBoy apologises to Fang, Sai and Shielda for not being able to control his emotions. Gopal assures him it’s okay and want matters is that everybody is now safe and sound. Fang apologises too and Shielda admits that they had gone too far. Sai, though, praises BoBoiBoy, saying that he was truly outstanding. However, Tarung scolds them as they had failed to retrieve the Power Sphere, meaning they had failed the test and would be expelled.

However, Gopal interrupts Tarung and pulls out the Power Sphere that he was hiding, which shocks him. Gopal explains that it was Ying's plan to lead Yaya and him to retrieve the Power Sphere. Tarung declares that this is truly outstanding and proclaims that BoBoiBoy and his friends have passed the TAPOPS Toughness Test, much to everyone's joy.

Trivia

 * When Koko Ci points out the members in Team B, he excludes Fang, which is a hint that Fang is in the other team.
 * BoBoiBoy Fire shouldn't technically be a new element as stated by Gopal because BoBoiBoy already unlocked and used this element in BoBoiBoy Season 3 and BoBoiBoy: The Movie. Furthermore, at the beginning of the series, the Space Pirate's readout of BoBoiBoy reveals that he had the potential to have seven different elemental forms.
 * An easy theory is the fact that BoBoiBoy Galaxy being a soft reboot and the elemental powers are to be reintroduced to new audiences who have not seen the original series.
 * An in-universe theory is that Gopal assumed BoBoiBoy Fire was a new element due to the change of clothes and the fact that he was seeing the battle afar. Fang and Yaya look like they recognize BoBoiBoy Fire. It is reasonable for Koko Ci to see BoBoiBoy Fire as a new element as he did not see him in battle during the events of The Movie.
 * Another in-universe theory is that Gopal meant “new” in the sense that it was another power in addition to the basic three that they hadn’t seen in a long time, rather than a power they’d never seen before.
 * Although lava is not technically fire, when BoBoiBoy is burned by the lava eruption, his Power Band glitches and absorbs the fire element.
 * However, since BoBoiBoy and his friends are on an alien volcanic planet, the lava there is likely to have the same properties as Fire.
 * Near the end of the episode, Gopal has his left arm on his back for a period of time, which shows that he, Yaya and Ying have gotten the Power Sphere.
 * Since the original series, BoBoiBoy's transformation into BoBoiBoy Fire has been speculated to be caused by stress and/or anger. This theory is reinforced in this episode when BoBoiBoy, enraged at Shielda's comment calling him and his friends weak, transforms into BoBoiBoy Fire.
 * The scene when BoBoiBoy Fire catches Sai's shield that is thrown towards him and he throws it back to Sai is similar to the scene when Bucky catches Captain America's shield and throws it back to him in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier".
 * This episode gained 1 million views within 10 hours and 2 million views within 24 hours, setting a new record in Monsta channel.
