@@Ffersbetter-Liamthat's a very long stretch for even BFDI. we've seen it happen before (BFDIA) but they have all the characters in the IDFB cast (including evil leafy) TPOT has to finish as well as BFDIA So they'll probably slow production of IDFB IF they bring it back during 2026.

Same, I bet that BFDIA 6+ only release in-universe at the same time as irl, the episodes are so high-quality because the announcer isn't there to waste the budget.
@@evandotmidi I know that they happened ten years ago, but my theory is that they were _released_ the same date irl. As in, BFDIA 6+ were lost media in the BFDI universe until they were "leaked" later.
i, for one, don't really care about continuity that much in BFDI. I just want IDFB to come out since i think it will be a fun season. but they could explain it by TPOT 15's time travel stuff messing with reality itself and creating alternate timelines where different seasons happen on different dates.
I think this can be justified with the Seasonal Shift event happening in early January where we can clearly hear Fanny say some of the changes carried over, just a personal small theory. The video was great!
They’ll likely have everybody be released from the TLC/LOL the moment TV gets freed, as he has the key. If not, the contestants will probably force him to cough it up.
i feel like a way they could get out of the "bfdia was cancelled" thing was that they thought the lens cap was still on even though it wasn't. so.. yeah i mean jacknjellify is incredibly good with fixing timelines so idk
I have always thought that they at one moment just realise they can wall teleport the tlc out of the lol, and therefore the wall teleporter will not need recharging
imho I don't think IDFB's upload schedule needs to be consistently accurate like BFDIA. you can still have the show span 13 months lore wise while the actual running time of the show being longer. take example in the GOAT Breaking Bad
yeah the only problem is they said that the wall teleporter takes 3-4 weeks to charge so even if we be generous and have each ep canonically be 3 weeks apart thatd still be under 20 eps but they could just free tv near the end and use the key he has to free everyone but either way itd end up being a short season which is just kinda sad bc i rlly like idfb
Well, they could pull a "misread info" scenario and make the wall teleporter be able to get 4 people out per episode (meaning Match, Pen, PB, and TD escape)
From 10.01.2016 to 11.17.2017 = 411 days If they decide to save 2 characters each episode Canonical time between 2 episodes = 441 / 20 ~= 21 days With IDFB 21 occuring on 10.28.or 10.29.2017.

No, also bfdi can change the dates on canon so like when it’s November 16 in real life it’s still April in idfb so they can have more time, + Maybe Because Bfdia 6 Took So Long To Get Uploaded, They Thought They Wernt Gonna Upload Any More Bfdia Videos, They We’re Still Gonna Compete, It’s Just That The Videos Wouldn’t Be Uploaded, And When They Did, The Contestants Were Too Distracted On Tpot,
IDFB episodes don’t have to take place 10 years before the actual release date like BFDIA does, they could just say that every Idfb episode takes place a week or two after each other, even when episodes release 2 to 3 months in real time
the problem with that is they say that the wall teleporter takes 3-4 weeks to charge so like unless they release everyone early itd end up being a pretty short season… maybe they could make episodes that take place in between each lol release?
well from what it’s looking like rn, idfb would have around 14 episodes, and i dont think they’re going to rush such an important season especially when we’re still missing important context they’ll probably find a way to have multiple people leave the lol per episode, instead of just 1. also these days bfdi episodes are usually around 20-30 mins, if all idfb episodes have that duration it could be enough for them to cover everything
IDFB Being a mini season feels so right for the show. The last episode being the characters journey to the grasslands could be fun too. TV is also the only person that needs to leave the LOL.
I was thinking the same thing, but I was thinking some episodes could be released canonically earlier (example: hypothetically if IDFB 3 came out 11/01/2026, it could canonically take place two weeks before that date) idk something like that, but idk how that would really work bc you wouldn’t think IDFB and BFB would be having episodes together (canonically I mean) but whatever Edit: I paused the video and wrote this comment literally 3 seconds before you brought that up in the vid LOL
I don’t think IDFB should be in an “alternate universe” or anything. I think there may be times that BFB characters say the show is in its fourth season [citation needed], and besides - they’ve already set up things in BFDIA to lead into IDFB. The show isn’t known for alternate universes, and instead it’s known that JacknJellify loves explaining continuity. They can just produce 1 episode a month but make it canonically take place 3 weeks apart. Either that, or something to do with the Grotatoe’s side effects could free all the characters. Or maybe, yknow, use Black Hole to suck up the LOL - which would explain why we never see it in BFB or TPOT
@@Cedi_gaming nah, they wouldn’t abandon continuity like that just because it’s doesn’t fit with what they have. They’re clever at working around issues like this
I think the show would have to clarify that the episodes take a little more time to make, but chronologically it happens daily (Sep 1 2016, Sep 2 2016) Also, the viewers of PENCIL’S RECORDINGS wouldn’t know what BFDIA 6 was.
Pencil says the viewers from their video diary will never know who got out, not us Also, maybe jnj could release episodes a lot quicker if they are 8-12 minutes long instead of 20+ minutes
Remember, the ray thingy takes *WEEKS* to charge. They could say the episodes take place weeks after each other instead of months. The episodes I guess wouldn’t release at the exact timing as the timeline.
Pencil was not talking about the viewers of the show, but the viewers of their video diary. i.e. not us Also, all they have to do is make it so that after a certain point the freed character takes TV's key with them, and then they can free everyone. Just going one at a time a displaying the date wouldn't work because they explicitly say it takes several weeks for the wall teleporter to recharge.
Technically the Key for the TLC is IN the TLC All they’d have to do is release a flying contestant with the key or stack on each other to reach the top or something It’d be an anticlimactic way to do the season but its one of the only ways if they want to keep the timeline consistent…
This seems like a possibility of how they can manage at most 13 episodes. And if the case this would be a very short season of bfdi. But even if it has some flaws with the writing in the season, I still think they can pull it off
1:07 pencil says this bc they found out the lens cap was on during their years of video diaries, but the bfdia 6 we have now confirms this because we can see that ruby didnt remove the lens cap at the end of the episode
2 ideas 1 - IDFB becomes not cannon and turns into a like alternate reality of BFDIA where IDFB 1 acts as BFDIA 7 2 - Like you said they ditch the 10 year thing and put the canonical date in the start of the episode or in random parts in the episode
If they deleted IDFB it would mess up BFB but IDFB messes up BFDIA so it's impossible to continue it without it maiking sense. They would have to do some alternate timeline thing.
As Satomi said in the BFDI 2019 Meetup, i think, its canonical that BFDIA 6 (thus, maybe refering to Post Hiatus BFDIA Episodes) but nobody knows what happened.. As for the IDFB problem, i'd also imagine they making 2-3 people out of the LOL and let less people animate IDFB? Or just stick for what worked best in BFDIA and TPOT
My theory on the whole bfdia return thing is that the episodes was lost in time at some point but someone in the team some how found the lost bfdia episodes and post them on the TH-cam account. So by the time pencil said nobody had a clue, the episodes were still lost
With BFDIA episodes taking about a month to release they'll probably finish before October this year so they might have IDFB episodes set 9 years before release instead of 10
i feel like tv would play a huge role in idfb (y'know considering HE HAS THE KEY TO THE LOL SO EVERYONE CAN BE FREED) bc of this (if people remember that he does), idfb can end up being the shortest season by far and could just be more slice of life episodes here's my own theory as well what if the LOL being unlocked was a sign to the announcer that bfdia has officially wrapped up that sounds a bit dumb but i think it would make sense considering around the end of the season the eliminated contestants would all need to be freed, and because the LOLers would all be freed, announcer could hear that from afar and finally decree bfdia finished either way i think idfb can finish in 13 months (or less) if people vote strategically and if jnj can remember the key if tv gets rescued a bit too early tho (say in episode 3) i think they would have to allow for tv to struggle or smth the worst thing they could do is have tv lose the key whilst in the tlc somehow and delay everything either way i dont think they would put a canonical date onscreen because that is a bit unnecessary for main episodes of bfdi (it works in the time shift episodes because they travel thru time)
the only thing is i dont want idfb to be a short season 💔 but ig theres nothing that can be done ab it… and for the tv getting released early thing they could just continue the season without voting, it is meant to be more of a slice of life after all
Characters forgeting BFDIA 6 elimination could’ve been explained with time travel, but it most likely won’t happen again considering the whole Yoylelite time travel event was MASSIVE. Even still, they still can show the most surreal stuff in BFDI with that little jacknjellify pizzaz and it'll still make sense in some way or another
IDFB 1: Welcome Back IDFB 2: It’s Been Forever IDFB 3: The Risk IDFB 4: GET OUT OF THERE IDFB 5: A Escape IDFB 6: The Migration IDFB 7: The Start Of BFB
I like what tbr fanfic IDFB: Continued did. Which is to shorten the gap between episodes to once every twp or three weeks and have multiple people escape the LOL at a time
i think that their BEST bet is to MAYBE use the anomalies caused because of the time traveling in TPOT 15 and BFDIA 17 to fix all the inconsistencies in the episode. what do YOU guys think? because im HELLA hyped for whatever is going to happen in IDFB!
I'm guessing they'll either put the canon date at the beginning, or blame the time glitch in TPOT 15. There's already an inconsistency with Spongy saying he was eliminated 4 times in BFB, but then he got eliminated a fifth (or third) time in BFDIA.
the whole BFDIA 6 thing could probably be solved because this is on their video diary, and they probably couldn't show them puffball in the LOL because ruby is dimwitted enough to forget to take the lens cap off.
Actually I think they said that “don’t even know what happened in bfdia 6” is due to the fact that pencils video diaries were never seen so she would assume something like that to those who were watching them
1:09 in BFB 29 (I think) The announcer said that BFDIA ended PRODUCTION because of the low budget. That implies that BFDIA DID indeed happen but every episode was released 10 years after The original release day so Pencil is right here.
I think the video diary thing will still happen, but it’ll be explained as diegetically different from the reality show named “Battle for Dream Island Again” And that moment will mainly serve as a reference to the hiatus instead of an explanation for BFDIA6 not happening
I’ve seen a few people suggest they’re gonna try to finish bfdia this year and start idfb early so that’d way it’d take place a year earlier in universe which would give them an additional year to use
First of all, they can just free several people at once, there's this BFDI short that it's in the BFDI playlist for some reason, amd and it got released a day after the supposed release date of IDFB 2, in this short, it shows block, pen and eraser, so if this short is canon, they pretty much comfirm that not only match, but pen, eraser and block got out of the LOL, maybe snowball too, so they're not going to free a consistent amount of people, beaides, black hole is literally on the LOL, he can just destroy the LOL himself, and second, that line pencil said about viewers not knowing about BFDIA 6, i thin she meant that the viewers have never seen BFDIA past episode 5 because they were never released to the public until 10 years later, that's why that line still makes sense
@shiny_crystal to be fair, the characters do eventually get into the BFB area sometimes during IDFB so... And the creators didn't really comfirm or deny if it is canon or not, after all, most BFDI shorts are non-canon and do not appear in the BFDI playlist, so, it's 50/50 chance here
My original idea for the ending of BFDIA was that they all got their minds erased except BFDIA 17 literally ruined that of being a possibility since TPOT TB mentions his shenanigans with Nickel in BFDIA
They did say in the bfdi X ii after BFDIA ends they will continue Idfb so they can still have the past and reference it and stuff they did make some references in the future of BFDIA episode. But yeah it’s gonna continue
The only way to solve thus is by releasing TV and after a few weeks they release everyone (context: since TV has the key if they release him they also get the key which allows them to open the LOL and push it down after a few weeks when the wall teleporter recharges they can free everyone as the 5 extra inches of metal aren't there anymore and they can end idfb by 3 at most)
I honestly just think they’ll release IDFB 2 right after the last episode of BFDIA. (Well not right after but you know what I mean) and just LABEL it as the date
What I think will happen is that they somehow manage to break the LOL/TLC, everyone is freed and they all migrate to the Grasslands, and thus, begins a new era. The artstyle change??? I hope they don't they try to explain it in a forced way. Just have it be like human evolution. The viewers not knowing what happend in BFDIA 6? Likely just the viewers of their diaries, since the lens cap was never taken off.
I think they’ll do the date thing instead of trying to align everything correctly, also with the liberty of no competitions, they can do as many rejoins as is possible in one episode, so I think they could make it work
There’s a thing called one of the LOLers killing another LOLer and that LOLer being revived. Oh and if that gold drop in BFDIA 16 can go through glass then so can Teardop.
I think idfb will continue past Nov 3 of 2027, since they can just say that it didn't happen on that day. Think about tpot and the exiter extras at the end, it would sort of be like that except an entire episode. It would also be easy to do since there's no competition, and the only voting is to release tlc members (which would be hard to fix since the teleporter can only send one person at a time and takes a really long time to charge up)
I think they’d probably do something creative like make each episode take place one day after the next and then Inply that time has passed between BFB 1 and the finale episode of IDFB
They should have IDFB be a one off reunion special movie where they get everyone out of the TLC/LOL instead of a full season, like they can do time cards to show the dates like in the EXITors episode from TPOT or the recent time travel episode from BFDIA. o:
I have a theory about IDFB where the contestants won’t be battling for a prize but instead will be normal episodes with no challenge just a short story and a vote to bring out one or two people from the TLC/LOL
2 things 1. I think an easy explanation would be something like time moves a LOT slower in Yoyleland, that or like other people said the shift could have probably did something. 2. I honestly feel like the BFDIA 6 line can be disregarded and was just to get the viewers up to speed at the time since nobody really had a way of knowing who got out and who won the prize.
It'd probably get to a point where something happens and the TLC/LOL are destroyed setting everyone else free. I say that because we haven't seen or heard of either chamber since before BFB 1.
I think the wtf host will make a challenge that they will lost a part of the memory of something in bfdia, and needs to get it right, and if the contestants get it right they can recover this memory, but with pencil probably would lost her memory and made the contestant lose, and the host s can't get it back
1. They could do a mega tpot thing and either release everyone else on the last episode or 4 per episode. Also abandoning the 10 year thing is weird considering IDFB is more so an expansion of BFDIA in my opinion 2. Maybe they THINK we don't know about BFDIA 6? If Firey and Gelatin managed to convince them that they didnt know, then how could they exlect everyone, much less the other contestants, to be aware?
I have an idea, why not just make it 2 episodes, make idfb 2 where the LOL chamber just breaks open the window, and they all climb out, or dumo it in lava and recover them in the recovery center.
I hope they make IDFB take place in the present, being a timeskip. But that most likely won't happen because of the LoL situation, but it still has a chance because it could get rebooted.

I mean Jacknjellify are pretty smart I’m sure they can figure out a way to make it work
The second one is easy. They were probably talking about their blog viewers.
No, also bfdi can change the dates on canon so like when it’s November 16 in real life it’s still April in idfb so they can have more time, + Maybe Because Bfdia 6 Took So Long To Get Uploaded, They Thought They Wernt Gonna Upload Any More Bfdia Videos, They We’re Still Gonna Compete, It’s Just That The Videos Wouldn’t Be Uploaded, And When They Did, The Contestants Were Too Distracted On Tpot,

the wall teleporter takes at least 3 weeks to charge tho

My headcanon is that pencil told the diary vlog viewers who go eliminated in each episode
but they could still hear pencil with the lens cap on
0:46 they cant cause TB's wall teleporter can only teleport one person at a time, and it takes several weeks to charge up.

Also, all they have to do is make it so that after a certain point the freed character takes TV's key with them, and then they can free everyone. Just going one at a time a displaying the date wouldn't work because they explicitly say it takes several weeks for the wall teleporter to recharge.
Technically the Key for the TLC is IN the TLC
All they’d have to do is release a flying contestant with the key or stack on each other to reach the top or something
It’d be an anticlimactic way to do the season but its one of the only ways if they want to keep the timeline consistent…
Didn't you hear what you just said? Since it's in the tlc they can get it anyway without the wall teleporter
I mean, maybe after the first episode, they’ll just scrap the whole voting thing and just figure out a way to get them all out altogether
This seems like a possibility of how they can manage at most 13 episodes. And if the case this would be a very short season of bfdi. But even if it has some flaws with the writing in the season, I still think they can pull it off
1:07 pencil says this bc they found out the lens cap was on during their years of video diaries, but the bfdia 6 we have now confirms this because we can see that ruby didnt remove the lens cap at the end of the episode
2 ideas
1 - IDFB becomes not cannon and turns into a like alternate reality of BFDIA where IDFB 1 acts as BFDIA 7
2 - Like you said they ditch the 10 year thing and put the canonical date in the start of the episode or in random parts in the episode
Why it is possible for jacknjellify to continue idfb
If they deleted IDFB it would mess up BFB but IDFB messes up BFDIA so it's impossible to continue it without it maiking sense. They would have to do some alternate timeline thing.
As Satomi said in the BFDI 2019 Meetup, i think, its canonical that BFDIA 6 (thus, maybe refering to Post Hiatus BFDIA Episodes) but nobody knows what happened.. As for the IDFB problem, i'd also imagine they making 2-3 people out of the LOL and let less people animate IDFB? Or just stick for what worked best in BFDIA and TPOT
My theory on the whole bfdia return thing is that the episodes was lost in time at some point but someone in the team some how found the lost bfdia episodes and post them on the TH-cam account. So by the time pencil said nobody had a clue, the episodes were still lost
With BFDIA episodes taking about a month to release they'll probably finish before October this year so they might have IDFB episodes set 9 years before release instead of 10
i feel like tv would play a huge role in idfb (y'know considering HE HAS THE KEY TO THE LOL SO EVERYONE CAN BE FREED)
bc of this (if people remember that he does), idfb can end up being the shortest season by far and could just be more slice of life episodes
here's my own theory as well
what if the LOL being unlocked was a sign to the announcer that bfdia has officially wrapped up
that sounds a bit dumb but i think it would make sense considering around the end of the season the eliminated contestants would all need to be freed, and because the LOLers would all be freed, announcer could hear that from afar and finally decree bfdia finished
either way i think idfb can finish in 13 months (or less) if people vote strategically and if jnj can remember the key
if tv gets rescued a bit too early tho (say in episode 3) i think they would have to allow for tv to struggle or smth
the worst thing they could do is have tv lose the key whilst in the tlc somehow and delay everything
either way i dont think they would put a canonical date onscreen because that is a bit unnecessary for main episodes of bfdi (it works in the time shift episodes because they travel thru time)
the only thing is i dont want idfb to be a short season 💔 but ig theres nothing that can be done ab it… and for the tv getting released early thing they could just continue the season without voting, it is meant to be more of a slice of life after all
Characters forgeting BFDIA 6 elimination could’ve been explained with time travel, but it most likely won’t happen again considering the whole Yoylelite time travel event was MASSIVE. Even still, they still can show the most surreal stuff in BFDI with that little jacknjellify pizzaz and it'll still make sense in some way or another
yk what else is massive
IDFB 1: Welcome Back
IDFB 2: It’s Been Forever
IDFB 3: The Risk
IDFB 4: GET OUT OF THERE
IDFB 5: A Escape
IDFB 6: The Migration
IDFB 7: The Start Of BFB
I like what tbr fanfic IDFB: Continued did. Which is to shorten the gap between episodes to once every twp or three weeks and have multiple people escape the LOL at a time
Everyone in freesmart was unconscious except Ruby in bfdia 6 when the elimination happened so pencil assumed nobody else knew what happened there
i think that their BEST bet is to MAYBE use the anomalies caused because of the time traveling in TPOT 15 and BFDIA 17 to fix all the inconsistencies in the episode.
what do YOU guys think? because im HELLA hyped for whatever is going to happen in IDFB!
I'm guessing they'll either put the canon date at the beginning, or blame the time glitch in TPOT 15. There's already an inconsistency with Spongy saying he was eliminated 4 times in BFB, but then he got eliminated a fifth (or third) time in BFDIA.
IDFB will come back next year.
BFDIA being contunied also messed up BFB 30.
the whole BFDIA 6 thing could probably be solved because this is on their video diary, and they probably couldn't show them puffball in the LOL because ruby is dimwitted enough to forget to take the lens cap off.
Actually I think they said that “don’t even know what happened in bfdia 6” is due to the fact that pencils video diaries were never seen so she would assume something like that to those who were watching them
1:09 in BFB 29 (I think) The announcer said that BFDIA ended PRODUCTION because of the low budget. That implies that BFDIA DID indeed happen but every episode was released 10 years after The original release day so Pencil is right here.
I completely forgot about IDFB, and I think it’s cool how they decided not to make Pin get her limbs back so this could potentially stay true.
maybe they announce the BFDI multiverse where there are an infinite number of realities
I think the video diary thing will still happen, but it’ll be explained as diegetically different from the reality show named “Battle for Dream Island Again”
And that moment will mainly serve as a reference to the hiatus instead of an explanation for BFDIA6 not happening
I’ve seen a few people suggest they’re gonna try to finish bfdia this year and start idfb early so that’d way it’d take place a year earlier in universe which would give them an additional year to use
First of all, they can just free several people at once, there's this BFDI short that it's in the BFDI playlist for some reason, amd and it got released a day after the supposed release date of IDFB 2, in this short, it shows block, pen and eraser, so if this short is canon, they pretty much comfirm that not only match, but pen, eraser and block got out of the LOL, maybe snowball too, so they're not going to free a consistent amount of people, beaides, black hole is literally on the LOL, he can just destroy the LOL himself, and second, that line pencil said about viewers not knowing about BFDIA 6, i thin she meant that the viewers have never seen BFDIA past episode 5 because they were never released to the public until 10 years later, that's why that line still makes sense
im pretty sure that short isnt canon tho bc it takes place in the bfb area and idfb is meant to be in yoyle city
@shiny_crystal to be fair, the characters do eventually get into the BFB area sometimes during IDFB so... And the creators didn't really comfirm or deny if it is canon or not, after all, most BFDI shorts are non-canon and do not appear in the BFDI playlist, so, it's 50/50 chance here
@@BFAMSERIESOfficial yeah, but by idfb 2?? i just dont think thatd work
@shiny_crystal well, they literally switch from yoyleland to goinky within seconds in BFDIA 8, how would that work in BFDIA but not IDFB?
@ yeah but itd just be wasted opportunity to leave yoyleland that quickly especially with the lore setup we have
My original idea for the ending of BFDIA was that they all got their minds erased except BFDIA 17 literally ruined that of being a possibility since TPOT TB mentions his shenanigans with Nickel in BFDIA
Looking after the date of idfb 2 it will take place in October 2026
The reason why is because bfdia was released in September's 2024 although it's supposed to be the first day of September's 2014
They did say in the bfdi X ii after BFDIA ends they will continue Idfb so they can still have the past and reference it and stuff they did make some references in the future of BFDIA episode. But yeah it’s gonna continue
My guess is that IDFB is probably just gonna be a 5ish episode special. I doubt IDFB reaches double digit episodes, it would be weird.
The only way to solve thus is by releasing TV and after a few weeks they release everyone (context: since TV has the key if they release him they also get the key which allows them to open the LOL and push it down after a few weeks when the wall teleporter recharges they can free everyone as the 5 extra inches of metal aren't there anymore and they can end idfb by 3 at most)
I honestly just think they’ll release IDFB 2 right after the last episode of BFDIA. (Well not right after but you know what I mean) and just LABEL it as the date
I'd personally want them to rewrite episode one, but i don't think they'd ever do that
They don’t completely have to follow that logic, if they really want to continue IDFB.
I think its an alternate timeline we will learn about it soon
finally, FINALLY! someone talks about this!!
What I think will happen is that they somehow manage to break the LOL/TLC, everyone is freed and they all migrate to the Grasslands, and thus, begins a new era. The artstyle change??? I hope they don't they try to explain it in a forced way. Just have it be like human evolution.
The viewers not knowing what happend in BFDIA 6? Likely just the viewers of their diaries, since the lens cap was never taken off.
Wall teleporter: 1 month
Black hole: can litterally suck the TLC and LOL up to free the others
I think they’ll do the date thing instead of trying to align everything correctly, also with the liberty of no competitions, they can do as many rejoins as is possible in one episode, so I think they could make it work
It's probally going to be like sonic 06 where the events are going to be erased from the timeline
alternate universe like how book said in an alternate universe they wouldnt eat the berries
There’s a thing called one of the LOLers killing another LOLer and that LOLer being revived. Oh and if that gold drop in BFDIA 16 can go through glass then so can Teardop.
I think idfb will continue past Nov 3 of 2027, since they can just say that it didn't happen on that day. Think about tpot and the exiter extras at the end, it would sort of be like that except an entire episode. It would also be easy to do since there's no competition, and the only voting is to release tlc members (which would be hard to fix since the teleporter can only send one person at a time and takes a really long time to charge up)
all they need to due is, incase they have 13 episodes, free 3 people per episode and say, Non Existy Freed Himself
I think they’d probably do something creative like make each episode take place one day after the next and then Inply that time has passed between BFB 1 and the finale episode of IDFB
I honestly feel like they might try to remake IDFB 1 to be more in line with the post hiatus stuff and BFB and the like, and then IDFB 2+
They should have IDFB be a one off reunion special movie where they get everyone out of the TLC/LOL instead of a full season, like they can do time cards to show the dates like in the EXITors episode from TPOT or the recent time travel episode from BFDIA. o:
im pretty sure it would last a few episodes, like 3-7 probably
I think there gonna do the ten year thing like they did in BFDIA (example 2013-2023) so, we sadly have to wait for 2026.
I mean, even tho the idea of the episodes being exactly 10 years ago, they would probably have to drop that after BFDIA is done
Maybe if they pull a pre split bfb and release an episode every few weeks it might work out
I think the best way right now is to just release a new idfb 1 and keeping the old one as an archive or something
I have a theory about IDFB where the contestants won’t be battling for a prize but instead will be normal episodes with no challenge just a short story and a vote to bring out one or two people from the TLC/LOL
They could potentially just start IDFB completely from scratch starting a new IDFB 1 but I doubt it
should've kept this on the drafts
2 things
1. I think an easy explanation would be something like time moves a LOT slower in Yoyleland, that or like other people said the shift could have probably did something.
2. I honestly feel like the BFDIA 6 line can be disregarded and was just to get the viewers up to speed at the time since nobody really had a way of knowing who got out and who won the prize.
probably refers to video diary viewers not knowing, maybe pencil showed that vote paper each episode
It'd probably get to a point where something happens and the TLC/LOL are destroyed setting everyone else free. I say that because we haven't seen or heard of either chamber since before BFB 1.
I think the wtf host will make a challenge that they will lost a part of the memory of something in bfdia, and needs to get it right, and if the contestants get it right they can recover this memory, but with pencil probably would lost her memory and made the contestant lose, and the host s can't get it back
1. They could do a mega tpot thing and either release everyone else on the last episode or 4 per episode. Also abandoning the 10 year thing is weird considering IDFB is more so an expansion of BFDIA in my opinion
2. Maybe they THINK we don't know about BFDIA 6? If Firey and Gelatin managed to convince them that they didnt know, then how could they exlect everyone, much less the other contestants, to be aware?
I have an idea, why not just make it 2 episodes, make idfb 2 where the LOL chamber just breaks open the window, and they all climb out, or dumo it in lava and recover them in the recovery center.
I hope they make IDFB take place in the present, being a timeskip. But that most likely won't happen because of the LoL situation, but it still has a chance because it could get rebooted.
