Season 2, Episode 3

This is the 3rd episode of Season 2 of BoBoiBoy and the 16th episode overall.

Plot
The episode opens to Outer Space where the Kubulus alien enters Adu Du's Spaceship. He accesses classified files on the ship’s data archive and discovers that Adu Du found Cocoa on Earth.

Back at Rintis Island Primary School, BoBoiBoy finds out that he and Gopal are in the same class even though Gopal is a year older because Mr. Kumar recalled the wrong year in which his son was born when registering him for school. As a result, he was put a grade below. Gopal also explains that Ying was really smart, so she skipped one grade up to their class, even though she’s a year younger than everyone.

Fang enters the class and he and BoBoiBoy exchange vicious glares until BoBoiBoy calls Fang a coward for running from yesterday’s fight. Enraged, they prepare to fight again, prompting Gopal to step in, if only because it was his day to tidy up the classroom. Yaya overhears him and threatens to write all of their names down in her notebook if they don’t stop fighting.Gopal implores BoBoiBoy to do as she says or the Vice-Principal will see his name in the Class Monitor’s notebook. The VP is said to have served in the military, become an eight-time kick-boxing champion after retiring, swam breaststroke five time across the Pacific Ocean and replaced the nerves in his body with steel. Now intrigued, BoBoiBoy asks for his name, startling his classmates as it’s said that the VP can be summoned by mentioning his name.

At that moment, Papa Zola enters and debunks everything said about the VP and tells them to open the Mathematics textbook. Yaya reminds Papa Zola that they are supposed to be doing Physical Education so he leaves and reenters as a P.E. teacher, claiming that this was his ambition since childhood. Probe is revealed to be at school disguised as a janitor to spy on BoBoiBoy and his friends.

Class 5 Honest’s P.E. lesson involves a “dangerous” sport that turns out to be an egg-and-spoon race. BoBoiBoy and Fang refuse to play as the sport is for kids and too easy. Papa Zola takes that as a challenge and pits the two boys in their own race in which the winner receives the legendary Papa Zola P Ruler. Gopal begs BoBoiBoy to race and win the ruler for him, while Fang only participates to stop them from getting it.

The race commences, with Amar Deep commentating. It isn’t long before both boys use their powers to gain an advantage. The finish is too close to call so they analyse the video Gopal took of the entire race. B ased on the footage, Papa Zola declares himself the winner, despite the race supposedly being between the two boys only.

Fang, however, is not satisfied and asks to review the footage as he refuses to lose to BoBoiBoy, despite the latter letting it go and calling it a draw. Papa Zola asks Fang why he resents BoBoiBoy so much and Fang explains two reasons via flashbacks.

The first involved Fang running to canteen just so that he could buy his favourite Red Carrot Doughnut. Unfortunately, BoBoiBoy bought the last piece before he reached the canteen, meaning that only the White Radish Doughtnuts were left. BoBoiBoy asks how he was supposed to know about that if he didn’t see Fang at the canteen at all. and Papa Zola wonders if this is the only reason Fang is mad at BoBoiBoy, which prompts the second flashback.

In this one, Fang arrived at school before anyone else to find the class in complete disarray so he spent the entire morning cleaning and organising the classroom. Afterwards Fang accidentally dropped the broom just as BoBoiBoy came in and picked it up for him. He was about to give it to Fang when Papa Zola, seeing BoBoiBoy holding the broom, pushed Fang out of the way and gave BoBoiBoy all the credit for the cleaning. The students admired BoBoiBoy even more, which only deepened Fang’s hatred and jealousy towards him.

BoBoiBoy denies this to be his fault because they wouldn’t let him explain that he didn’t do it, but Fang is still determined to fight him even if it means getting punished by the teacher. Papa Zola suggests they settle it fairly and BoBoiBoy suggests they do it via a football match. Fang appears nervous but is unable to back out lest he look scared. Papa Zola decrees that the match be held this time next week, leaving them only that amount of time to form teams. The disguised Probe, having seen and overheard everything, returns to Cube Fortress to tell Adu Du about the football match. Adu Du is clueless as to what football actually is and mistakes it for some kind of monster before Computer clarifies it as a human sport. Probe interrupts and explains it as everyone running after the ball so they can kick into their opponent’s goal, exaggerating the importance of celebrating the goal. Adu Du praises Probe for giving him the information and formulates a plan to take advantage of the game to defeat BoBoiBoy.

Trivia

 * For the third time, Gopal recapped the previous episode in this season.
 * This is the second episode where the teacher Papa Zola told his ambition.
 * Computer fell asleep for the first time in this episode, the second is in Episode 32, the third is in Episode 33.
 * It is unknown how Probe can have a giant vuvuzela because Probe didn't have some money to buy it. That's because Probe have used his money to buy Game Papa Zola 5 and Electric Spatula.

Allusions

 * The VP is similar to Voldemort from Harry Potter in the sense that no-one will say his name aloud as they think it will summon him.
 * The episode was possibly made to commemorate the 2012 London Olympics.

Errors

 * Adu Du said that he doesn't know what is football, but he already knew about it in Season 1, Episode 3. This was corrected in YouTube English dub of this episode when Adu Du instead said "…he's even good at that round thing!"
 * It is impossible for Fang's flashback about him cleaning the classroom to happen since the third episode takes place during BoBoiBoy's third day of school and BoBoiBoy came earlier than Fang the day before (Season 2, Episode 1).
