Season 2, Episode 2

This is the 2nd episode of Season 2 of BoBoiBoy and the 15th episode overall.

Synopsis
After a scary story spreads through the Rintis Island community, BoBoiBoy and Gopal go into the Haunted House to investigate if there really is a ghost.

Plot
After Gopal recaps the events of the previous episode, Ochobot returns to Tok Aba’s cafe to take Mr. Mat’s order. Tok Aba wonders why he has been fainting often recently, but Ochobot doesn’t know why either. BoBoiBoy arrives from school and asks Tok Aba about the Haunted House. Tok Aba says he heard the stories last week but believes they’re nonsense, which Mr. Mat and Mr. Kumar (who appears out of nowhere) deny and recount their own experiences. The former once saw a black monster prowling around the house, while the latter claims the ghost appears at sunset in the form of either a tiger or a human. He tells them the story of why the house is haunted, which takes several hours, and admits that he hasn’t seen the house himself, only hearing these stories from Gopal. Speaking of which, Gopal arrives at the cafe, exhausted after taking the long route home. upon finding out that BoBoiBoy was followed by something when he passed by it e begs BoBoiBoy not to take the road near the Haunted House. BoBoiBoy decides to investigate the house to see if there really is a ghost and Gopal accidentally agrees to go with him.

In the Hiding Box, Probe informs Adu Du about the discussion he overheard about the Haunted House and a ghost. However, Adu Du doesn't know what a ghost is so Computer shows him a special "Spot the Difference" video where he is jumpscared by an image of a ghost. Probe learns from Horror Books Collection that ghosts are terrifying, evil creatures and convinces Adu Du that they should invite the ghost to join their evil gang and help them defeat BoBoiBoy. Later, the two approach the house, and invite the ghost to join them. The door opens on its own and they enter after removing their shoes out of respect. Unaware that BoBoiBoy and Gopal arrived at there two minutes earlier, they venture up to the second floor. Adu Du comments on the house’s messy state and calls the ghost lazy, unafraid of angering the ghost as he brought a weapon. They hear a sudden crashing sound throughout the house and hide in one of the rooms. It turns out to be a sceptical BoBoiBoy hitting a stick against the stair banister to get the ghost’s attention. Probe accidentally knocks over a mirror upstairs, which is heard below. BoBoiBoy goes upstairs to investigate the sound, Gopal following so that he won’t be left alone. Both parties are surprised to find the other there. BoBoiBoy accuses Adu Du of pretending to be a ghost to scare the citizens, which Adu Du denies. They prepare to attack each other but the “Mystery Boy” turns out to have been there the whole time and attacks first, throwing them outside the house.

Adu Du And Probe recognise the boy and are about to reveal his name when he silences them by turning a tiger shadow puppet into a real tiger made of shadows and attacking them mercilessly, forcing them to flee. The boy refuses to explain how he received a Power Watch, but declares that he only wanted to attack BoBoiBoy, angrily explaining why via two flashbacks.

Both flashbacks involved the boy’s classmates being impressed by his traits (either his style, coolness or intelligence.), only for Gopal to say that BoBoiBoy was better than him in that aspect. His classmates agreed with him and their attention shifted to BoBoiBoy, neglecting the new boy. In the second flashback, Papa Zola ended up telling the class about BoBoiBoy for three hours straight.

BoBoiBoy asks to know what they said, infuriating the boy and making his Shadow Tiger attack him. To properly defend himself, he transforms into BoBoiBoy Thunderstorm without performing a split, surprising Gopal. The boy suddenly changes the Tiger to Shadow Hands which prompts Thunderstorm to switch to BoBoiBoy Cyclone so he can escape. The Hands capture him and crush him into the ground, but when they pull away, Cyclone is gone and BoBoiBoy Earthquake rises from below ground.

The boy frustratedly notices the sun beginning to set as Earthquake attacks him. He deflects the attacks with a Shadow Shield and escapes while Earthquake is distracted. Earthquake calls him a scaredy-cat (“chicken” in the English dub) for retreating and addresses him as “Ah Meng” (“Chang” in the English dub) before amending it when Gopal informs him that the boy’s name is “Fang”. From a nearby rooftop, Fang hears them and considers them lucky that the sun set before he could do any real damage. Back in the Hiding Box,  Adu Du  complains that he was beaten up for no reason and blames Probe for it since his idea to recruit the “ghost” came from reading all the horror books. He burns Probe’s books, thinking they are damaging his mind, leaving the robot in tears. With his books gone, Probe resolves to write his own horror story and calls it “The Mystery Box Headed Child Ghost”  (“The Mystery of the Square-headed Blockhead at the Boxy Bunker” in the English dub).

Allusions

 * The “Spot The Difference” game is a form of the prank in which viewers concentrate very hard on an image before being jumpscared by another image flashing onscreen.

 * When they enter the house Gopal records his videos in a found-footage style that is used in some horror movies.
