Hey guys, it's time for yet another CRT to the overpowered Total Drama-inspired web series that just aired its recent episode in major theaters across the US last week! So, without further ado, let's fix things.
Get Real (Cosmology/AP Upgrade)
In series co-creator Cary Huang's reaction to TPOT 4, Cary states that Teardrop had "transcended" to the Real World from the cartoon world, indicating the the Real World in BFDI is a transcendent place. Now, before you ask, no this is not 1-A (As funny as it would be for a series inspired off of Total Drama) because Teardrop was able to physically go to the Real World, which violates R>F standards. So if it isn't that, what is it then?
Well, given the fact that it's called "The Real World," and that "world" has been used to refer to a universe (IE. The Underworld which is an alternate universe according to BFDIA 9's episode description and Nine stating that the world will fall apart if they don't retrieve the failed debuters from the past [Which was on a universal scale]), it's safe to say that the Real World is at least another universe, meaning it would amp up the cosmology of the BFDI "Universe" to 3 universes. And yes, the Real World is considered to be a part of the "universe" since Two mentioned how there are 7 Funny Plants left in the universe and that the Real World just so happens to be the location of one of the Funny Plants. Thus, anybody currently scaling to 2 universes should now scale to 3.
X Really Is 7 (X Finds Out His Value Canon + Ability Additions)
Many years ago back in 2019, I made a proposal that X Finds Out His Value (The video famously known to mark the first appearances of Four and X) isn't canon to the main BFDI series, hence why feats and abilities from that video were never included there. This was mostly due to a statement made by Satomi Hinatsu, a former writer for the show, that the only content canon to BFDI is whatever is in the official BFDI playlist. The thing is, however, is that this statement was made back in 2019, and since 2022, Satomi had been fired for creative differences. By the episode Seasonal Shift (Released in 2025), it marked BFDI Mini being officially canon to the main series despite how none of its episodes are even in the BFDI playlist as well as the fact that Satomi was against making BFDI Mini canon during her time working on the show as a writer. It simply goes to show that she no longer has the power to say what's canon and what's not, and everything she has stated prior to her firing should no longer be reliable.
That being said, there's definitely more evidence of X Finds Out His Value being canon to the main series.

- Four at one point tells X that he [Four] isn't the one who doesn't know their value, which is a very reference to the plot of X Finds Out His Value where X is trying to find his value.
- Four sings the very same tune he sung at the start of X Finds Out His Value in two episodes of the series.
- 2 clips from X Finds Out His Value literally play during the 2nd Cake at Stake animation in the episode Today's Very Special Episode.
- In You Know Those Buttons Don't Do Anything, Right?, Two held the very same pencil that Four used in X Finds Out His Value.
- The equation playground from X Finds Out His Value in its original 2008 artstyle makes a cameo in the episode Seasonal Shift as one of the many backgrounds being shown when the timeline was starting to collapse.
- When Four and X were sleeping on different sides of the seesaw at the Equation Playground in the episode Alone, X was outweighing Four on it, which is meant to be a reference to how X's value is 7, that 7 > 4, and that any larger number outweighs the smaller number when they are both placed on the seesaw.
