| “ | Don't you wanna battle to win a prize? | „ |
| ~ Four asking the sixty-four contestants if they want to battle to win his BFDI. (BFB 1: Getting Teardrop To Talk)
|
| “ | X! HELP!! | „ |
| ~ Four calling for X before getting taken away by One. |
Four Integer, commonly known as Four, is a major character in the Battle for Dream Island web series.
He is a blue algebrailan, and the overall main host of Battle For BFDI, and its successor, Battle For BFB, a temporary host in Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two, and the host of the non-canonical Battle for Permission to Meet 10. They are also the arch-enemy of Pencil and One, and friendly rival of Two.
He is voiced by Michael Huang; co-creator of the Battle for Dream Island series, who also voices Flower, Blocky, Snowball, Golf Ball, Pencil, Puffball and many other characters in the same show.
Appearance[]
| “ | Liy: What's this? Pie: I dunno, try squishing it. [Liy proceeds to squish Four, which causes him to make groaning sounds] Saw: Hey! Don't squish that, You don't know what it does! |
„ |
| ~ Liy upon seeing Four for the first time, as she proceeds to squish him, revealing his body texture is a squishy one. |
Four is a poorly drawn version of the open Arabic numeral four. (In late episodes, he is drawn more consistently and neater.) He has a blue wretched body, with white eyes with black pupils and limbs that are lightly-colored. His body is also stated to be squishy as evidenced in "Getting Teardrop to Talk" when Liy squishes him out of curiosity to know what he is.
Four is also stated to be genderless as evidenced in ''Enter the Exit'' where he confirms that in his homeworld, gender doesn't exist. However, the contestants refer to Four by he/they pronouns.
Personality[]
At first, Four appears to be a calm individual, but when provoked, he is aggressive, psychotic, short-tempered, and destructive. He has the power to severely injure/murder different contestants with different methods, like mutilating them, using a powerful electric beam (known as "Zappies"), and by unleashing a powerful screech that can do mass damage to others, even causing them to faint.
He appears to have some friends, but he can be very hurtful to them. One good example of this is X, who has been frequently abused by Four. For example, in "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset," when X returns after the Cake at Stake ceremony, he comments that nobody noticed X was gone, and X proceeds to cry. Cloudy then comments that he noticed X was gone.
Despite his usual insanity and cruelty, Four sometimes shows a more compassionate side to himself. While he was initially angry upon finding out that X hosted BFB in his absence, he patted his head and said "Good job!". He also accepts favors from the contestants to revive the dead and even thanked Pin with a Gratitude Token (though he took it away afterwards when Leafy rejoined). "The Escape from Four" shows a more sympathetic side of Four as well as possibly explaining his psychology and motivations. He is childish and has an obsession with being in control, as seen when he said "Everyone needs to stay with me forever!". He gets extremely mad when things don't go his way, to the point where he calls his provokers dehumanizing insults. He hates being abandoned to the point where he breaks down crying, and even told X to leave after assuming that he would leave him too.
In "Chapter Complete", it is shown that he has an insecure side. He gets worried that no one likes him as a host and that he would be better off without them. However, at the end, he realized the errors of his ways after hearing that the contestants enjoyed his hosting, and has changed from self-arrogant to kind-hearted, who now treats the others better. After BFB ended, he came to TPOT, and went back to his usual self.
By the time of "Last One Standing," Four's behavior is completely different, now understanding that One has escaped the Moon that he used to imprison her and poses an immense threat to the entire world. He focuses on helping the contestants, rather than deliberately hurting them, to stop her progress. He fights alongside Liy against Pencil to try and get the latter to stop being reckless with Two's power he gave her, but faced his past as well as getting his powers taken from him, much to his horror. In his last moments with Pencil before being taken by One, he shows a brief amount of self-awareness of all the damage he has caused to his past contestants, and even screams for X for help just before getting taken.
He is a much kinder individual in the short, "X Finds Out His Value", where he helps X learn his value, teaching him how to find it out. It is revealed to be 7, who he and X dance with, implying they are good friends.
Other Appearances[]
Regretevator[]
Four reappears as a minor antagonist in the 2020 Roblox game Regretevator, as part of an official collaboration with Battle For Dream Island. Four is exclusively found on the "BFDI" floor, an area where players must scale the hotel from the series and avoid being knocked off in order to rack up points. Four only appears if a player is pushed too far from the playing field, screeching at said player in order to instantly kill them, with them quickly respawning to get back into the fray.
Powers & Abilities[]
Four screeching
As a result of getting his power from the Yoylite, Four exhibits very surreal mannerisms, powers, and abilities through the season, including:
- Ultipotence (most likely): Four possesses seemingly unlimited power in the series. Four's powers could have a galactic to multi-galactic, possibly even universal scale of power if fully used.
- Ear-deafening Screech: Stuns any contestant who's targeted by said screech. It can also generate hearts when Four shows love or excitement towards something, which can fling a contestant as shown with Eraser.
- Energy Beam Projection: Beams that shoot out of his hands and electrocute anybody who is hit by them, making them lose health. Although Four has to seemingly charge up at times (possibly for a longer duration, constant beam), he can also fire them instantly.
Four zapping Gaty.
- Advanced-level reality-warping: Four can create objects such as cakes, buttons, pillars, Paper Planes, Buzzer Boxes, soup, orange dye, and jawbreakers out of thin air. Not only can he revive contestants, but he can also revive them in a place other than his hand, as seen in "Lick Your Way to Freedom" when he revived the contestants in jawbreakers he also created. Also, as seen with paper planes, he can likely manipulate the laws of physics.
- Gravitokinesis: Donut, while inhabited by the factor of Four, was able to turn on and off the effects of gravity. This ability can be refined to only affect certain entities, as Donut only manipulated gravity's effects on the moon.
- Four was able to crush down a planet-sized Black Hole into a significantly less voluminous state and near nullifying Black Hole's normally intense gravity.
- Shape-shifting: As shown in "What Do You Think of Roleplay?", both Four and X can shape-shift, or change their physical appearance. Also, they can change the shape of other characters as well. They can shapeshift into anything, even inside of themselves.
- Size manipulation: In "Return of the Rocket Ship", Four grows to an absurd size in response to Pillow's criticism.
- Brain manipulation: In BFB 12, Four displayed the power to augment and transfer the brains/personalities of the contestants into each other; however, instead of going back to their original bodies, the body that the person's mind was in shape-shifted into that mind's original body.
- Perspective violation: Four can violate common 2D perspective laws such as sliding in front of objects on the ground and suddenly switching to behind objects on the ground.
- Incredible volume: Four can raise his voice so that it can even be heard through the far reaches of space.
- Controlling and morphing clouds: He has used this to time contests that require a time limit to show how much time is currently left.
- Donut is seen doing this in "Four Goes Too Far", but it is most likely via the "factor of Four."
- Earth bending: In "Take the Tower", Four rose his hands up to cause 2 hills to rise under the team's towers.
- Gravitokinesis: Donut, while inhabited by the factor of Four, was able to turn on and off the effects of gravity. This ability can be refined to only affect certain entities, as Donut only manipulated gravity's effects on the moon.
- Mutilation: Turns any contestant into an abstract version of themselves, killing them. A harp strum plays in the process.
Four mutilating Foldy.
- Inception/Astral projection: Four cannot only enter himself to talk to the "exitors", but is also able to still do that when he is already inside himself, as shown when he inserted his arm inside himself again to pick up Leafy in "Get to the Top in 500 Steps". His arm also appeared to be larger than normal, which suggests that anything that enters shrinks (except Four).
- Teleportation: He can teleport whenever a "4" has been played shown in "Today's Very Special Episode". He could also teleport others with a snap of his fingers in "What Do You Think of Roleplay?".
- Thought manipulation: During the Cake at Stake in "The Four is Lava", Four displayed the ability to create positive thoughts (or happy thoughts) and send them to the safe contestants of . It is unknown if Four has the ability to create other kinds of thoughts at the moment.
- Air controllability: As shown in "A Taste of Space", Four can give people air, even in the vacuums of space.
- Brain Scanning: As shown in "Who Stole Donut's Diary" Four shoots a laser (similar style to Zappies) at X's head and receives their thoughts and finds out who stole Donut's Diary.
- Advanced-level reality-warping: Four can create objects such as cakes, buttons, pillars, Paper Planes, Buzzer Boxes, soup, orange dye, and jawbreakers out of thin air. Not only can he revive contestants, but he can also revive them in a place other than his hand, as seen in "Lick Your Way to Freedom" when he revived the contestants in jawbreakers he also created. Also, as seen with paper planes, he can likely manipulate the laws of physics.
- Malleability: As seen in "Enter the Exit" and "The Four is Lava", Four's body and limbs can stretch to extreme distances and can change shape at will. He can also contract extremely thin in "The Escape from Four".
- Recovery: Four replaces the Recovery Centers from previous seasons by using only his hand to recover contestants.
- Elimination: Four replaces the Tiny Loser Chamber, Locker of Losers, and the Weak Trembling Fortress from previous seasons, by sucking up eliminated contestants or "eating" them. From there, the eliminated contestants are sent to "Eternal Algebra Class Withfour" (EXIT). EXIT also appears to be an alternate plane of existence, because the contestants probably shrink.
- Super-speed: Four can fly at extreme speeds, as shown in "Enter the Exit".
- Dismemberment: This happened off-screen when X interrupted Four. He had snapped off X's leg. This is unknown to be a power or not, however, as it wasn't known exactly how Four snapped X's leg.
- Flight: In "Enter the Exit", Four was able to fly over to the Waterfall to eliminate Roboty.
- Regeneration: In "Enter the Exit", when the contestants were recovering Four, he was in a liquidated state to the point he was reformed back to normal.
- Fire resistance (external): Four is able to stand on the lava and dig his hands into it as well.
- Despawning: As shown in "The Game Has Changed", Four can "despawn" people. Although we don't know how Four does this exactly since he apparently has to be offscreen, a white glow is shown.
Weaknesses[]
| “ | Golf Ball: Any number times zero equals zero, right? Tennis Ball: That may be true, but, how is that useful? Golf Ball: Four's a number. Let's multiply him by zero. |
„ |
| ~ Golf Ball explaining how plan on how to stop Four's ruthlessness, as well as revealing one of his weaknesses. |
- Numerical multiplication: Four itself can be multiplied by a zero or Donut to 'kill' Four. However, Four can be extracted out of the product of multiplication. During the time that Four is inside the product, the said product gains some of Four's abilities. This happened once in "Four Goes Too Far."
- Limited strength/Exhaustion: Four was unable to eliminate and suck in Spongy completely in "The Escape from Four".
- Burn tolerance: Four can become incapacitated if he comes into contact with fire (presumably from the inside, which is unusual given his resistance to lava).
- Liquifying: Four can become into a liquid like substance if crushed too hard, making him become a puddle, though thanks to their shape-shifting, can turn back into their solid form
- Slightly Low Intelligence: Four didn't know the cage he was in was made out of cardboard, as seen in "Fashion For Your Face!".

Trivia[]
- A running gag involving Four is that he often changes his expression to a face with angry eyebrows and a wide smile, while staring at the screen.
- He appears to have to ability to translate Woody and Dora.
- He appears in the HTwins.net game Tidepool, as a level 23 creature in the "Classic" character set.
- Cary described Four as a "weird alien creature who doesn't know how to communicate" in his reaction video. If he is an alien, this could explain his strange powers, general behavioral quirks, different eye and limb assets, and his screeching.
- Another implication that he is an alien was shown in "Enter the Exit", in which he says, "We don't have that [gender] where I'm from", indicating that he is from another planet or another universe.
- In the first three episodes, Four starts the intro by raising his right arm in a fist, then the contestants assume the pose when the intro starts.
- Four can talk with his eyes, as shown in "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset".
- Four seems to hate the closed-form of four. (4)
- This is implied in "Today's Very Special Episode" when he, X, and the recommended characters deem Death P.A.C.T.'s makeover to be the worst one, while he ranks ABNTT's as the second-best makeover.
- If Four were to be multiplied by zero, or anything that resembles a zero (like Donut), he would teleport into the zero he was multiplied by.
- This was foreshadowed after Donut was multiplied by Four, he states that he had obtained the "factor of Four" within him, granting him some of the powers Four has. Also, when Four was recovered by Pin and Firey, they had to extract Four from the inside of Donut using a syringe before squeezing him into a four shape.
- When Four screeched at Tree in "Fortunate Ben," the screech was the original audio clip in reverse.
- Four tends to misname "A Better Name Than That" as "Another Name Than That," as heard in "Today's Very Special Episode" and "Get to the Top in 500 Steps".
- Four seems to have no gender along with X (despite them using he/they pronouns) because they don't have genders in the world they came from.
- This may imply that the other Algebraliens (The species Four and X belong to) have no genders either.
- Fittingly, Four's voice is four semitones higher than the original voice clip of their voice.
- His color and shape are similar to that of Minesweeper.
- Originally, Four was not supposed to be the host of BFB. This role was planned to be a spider, the spider was scrapped to make the host separate from the contestants.
- On TikTok, jacknjellify said that Four screeches when experiencing intense emotion.
