Fang



Fang is one of the main characters in BoBoiBoy and BoBoiBoy Galaxy.

Background
Fang is an alien born and raised on a planet named GogoBugi under two loving parents and his older brother, Kaizo. When he was younger, his planet was attacked by Bora Ra and Fang was injured in the fights that ensued, later passing out. While still unconscious, he and Kaizo were rescued by the legendary hero, Admiral Maskmana, who had received a distress signal from the planet. He started training Kaizo, in combat, particularly his “Way of the Mask” fighting style. Presumably, he later trained Fang, though it appears that he trained more closely with his brother. Fang appears to have forgotten his first encounter with Bora Ra on the day they left their planet.

After he became of age, Fang started training under his brother and joined his brother's team.

Fang began studying Earth life in preparation for his mission to infiltrate and spy on particular Earthlings, eventually coming into contact with BoBoiBoy and his friends.

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
His official debut comes in Season 2, Episode 1, as a student at Rintis Island Primary School. From his first day, Fang grew jealous of BoBoiBoy and his popularity among the other students, even though the two had never met. He was constantly compared to BoBoiBoy by his classmates and teacher and grew bitter towards BoBoiBoy as a result. In the first 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 the two kindle a fierce rivalry.

Their rivalry continues until he, BoBoiBoy and Gopal are shrunk and forced to work together to defeat Adu Du (Season 2, Episode 6), after which, it lessens somewhat.

When BoBoiBoy’s gang is shot with the Emotion Pistol Y (Season 2, Episode 7), he and Ochobot start 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 managed to escape to Cowboy Pete Monday’s alley when his power overloaded. Fang found him and he hid both of them in a trash can, making Ochobot realize that Fang was not allied with Adu Du. Adu Du and Probe found them and in a panic, Ochobot bestowed Fang with a Power Watch of Shadow Manipulation to defend himself. The situation quickly 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. These memories resurfaced during the events of Season 2, Episode 8.

Ever since Season 2, Episode 9 Fang has officially become 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. It’s returned to him after the alien is defeated.

Fang’s next biggest development comes during the tailend of the “Saving The Planet” special.

During the earth carnival in “Saving Planet Earth (Part 1)”, he joins the others in consoling a downtrodden BoBoiBoy, but soon leaves in a rush upon receiving a message on his Power Watch. Later that night, he is seen in the Haunted House examining 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. Before they can engage, however, two more aliens arrive on Earth and defeat Ejo Jo effortlessly. Fang finally arrives and approaches the newcomers, and it is revealed that Fang is not a human, but an alien is known as “Pang” and is a Private in these aliens’ team. He had been tasked by Captain Kaizo, The Legendary Space Rebel, to find and retrieve the detected Power Watches on Earth—the ones under the 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 those 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, 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 perturbed 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: 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 friends’ 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 has 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 along a solo training flight. 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.

Personality


Fang first presented a cold and unfriendly demeanor, much like his much older brother, Kaizo. He used to display a pompous and arrogant attitude, as well as a strong resentment towards BoBoiBoy due to his greater popularity.

Although he seems to be a relatively calm person, under this calm exterior is a fiery temper, which can be set off at the drop of the hat, usually towards BoBoiBoy. Eventually, after spending time with BoBoiBoy, most of the resentment fades away by the end of Season 2.

One of Fang's main goals in life is to be 'popular' even while being a spy on Earth. According to fan mail answers, Fang wanted to be popular so he could fit in on Earth, meaning that his pompous personality was just a ruse. However, his obsession with popularity persists three years on in Galaxy, as seen in Episode 19.

Despite his occasional arrogance, Fang is one to acknowledge and admit his own mistakes and shows remorse when he does things wrong.

He begins to hold his friendship as even greater than his alignment towards his brother. He betrays and defies 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 has reasonably matured as a leader, since he has been tasked with leading his own team with the twins, Sai and Shielda.

Fang has also grown quite trendy, as he wears a questionably fashionable “mushroom” safety helmet when he believes it’s the latest fashion trend. As the series progresses, Fang develops a little bit of a milder and passive personality. He isn’t as willing to fight his friends in the original series.

At first, it appears that he no longer harbors any resentment towards BoBoiBoy, though still is jealous of his popularity from time to time.

BoBoiBoy
Fang is a young humanoid alien with raven hair in a messy style. He has noticeably 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 over a grey sleeveless vest-like shirt, dark blue pants, and a tricolor 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-colored 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 color 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.

Shadow Manipulation
Fang received the power of Shadow Manipulation from Ochobot.

He is able to manipulate shadows into various forms. In early episodes, Fang summoned shadow animals and forms by making a shadow puppet of it, then “bringing it to life” with his power. Later uses disregard the need for him to form a shadow puppet to use his power. All of Fang's animal forms have glowing red eyes that appear to be on fire.

Fang apparently loses his power when it's sundown or sunset, as it was revealed in Season 2, Episode 2, 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.

Although Fang's power has manipulated by 11 forms by Season 2, Episode 10, only 5 of them are recognized by Ejo Jo's Computer—Tiger, Hands, Rat, Eagle, Dragon. This is likely because the said 5 are tangible forms as compared to the other 6—Scratch, Shield, Shifter, Attack, Cocoon, Speed.

In Season 3, Episode 24, it is revealed that he has unlocked two new forms: Shadow Koala and Shadow Bear, giving him a total of 16 shadow forms.

In the movie, Fang receives an upgrade on his Shadow Manipulation. His second-tier ability enables him to fuse with his shadow forms, giving him the ability to use their powers himself. For example, in the Shadow Eagle fusion, he gains its ability to fly.
