Though filled with heavy amounts of humor, BoBoiBoy is no stranger to scary moments.

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.

General

• Overlaps with Tear Jerker. Extra Comic "BoBoiBoy Galaxy Comic Issue #7" shows Fang and Kaizo's past. Their home planet was invaded by the Tengkotak gang who sought to find their power sphere, Enerbot. Their parents, who were governors of the planet, were brutally attacked by Bora Ra, leaving their current status unknown. After Kaizo gains the power of energy manipulation, Bora Ra threatens that he will kill Fang if he didn't surrender, causing him to go berserk and accidentally hurt Fang.
• Both BoBoiBoy Thunderstorm and BoBoiBoy Fire/Blaze. Early in their introductions, both show how powerful and dangerous they are. Fire/Blaze is a Mood-Swinger, his behavior can change from happy-go-lucky to aggressive if triggered by something. Thunderstorm's aggressiveness is so deathly, some fans dubbed him as Bad BoBoiBoy. Even one of the promotional pictures shows him with a Face Framed in Shadow and a menacing Death Glare.
  • BoBoiBoy Thunderstorm of all form has no problem to kill his opponent by electrocuted, stab or slice them without remorse. Of course while its because the form doesn't care about his opponent not out-of-bloodlust, its still doesn't get rid him from Ax-Crazy territory. After all he is symbolize of BoBoiBoy anger and aggressiveness.
• As story progress, it confirmed that all BoBoiBoy's power have potentially dangerous side effects if he unable to used it carefully. The warns from two previous holder of his powers also heavily implied that BoBoiBoy Elemental Powers are sentient and have their own consciousness. If he unable to control it, his power will takes over on him :
  • The side effect of Elemental Split. If BoBoiBoy uses this power for too long, he will slowly lose his memory and identity. At first, its Played for Laughs whenever he forgot his allies name. But slowly become less funny when the Elemental Form start fighting each other to death to proved themselves that they are "the real BoBoiBoy".
  • The Movie 2 and Season 2 confirmed by both Hang Kasa and Lady Kuputeri about another dangerous side of using Elemental Powers. If the users use the power in a greater scale, the power itself will take over the users which leading a horrible potential that will be happens to them: 1) The users will get hurt both in mentally and physically since both body and mind can't handle the huge amount Elemental Powers 2) Ended become power-hungry users just like Retak'ka.
• Some of Power Sphere can granted a powerful supernatural power for the users. Unfortunately, some of users (especially the young users) can experience painful things whenever they use the power. Both Fang and Kaizo experience unable to control their power for first time and almost injuring anyone near them. BoBoiBoy potentially can being controlled by his Elemental Powers if he use the power in huge scale or have memory loss if he use elemental split for too long.

Original Series

• The introduction of BoBoiBoy Thunderstorm. After being tortured by Adu Du and Probe who used his phobia of popping balloons, BoBoiBoy Lightning snapped and evolved into BoBoiBoy Thunderstorm, with scary red eyes and the Death Glare. He brutally attacks Super Probe and attempts to kill Adu Du. How do they stop him? By taking advantage of his amnesia and claiming that they are his friends.
  • After he returns to Granddad's house to finish off his friends and the rest of the elementals in their split forms, he easily defeats all of them. If Probe didn't mention his catchphrase which caused his memory to return, BoBoiBoy Thunderstorm would have killed all his friends including his own granddad.
• In the final episode of season 1, Adu Du attacks the heroes with his Mukalakus Robot Destroyer, which is fueled off Ochobot's energy. Ochobot visibly screams from inside the machine every time it takes power from him. Adu Du almost finishes them off before BoBoiBoy Earth evolves into BoBoiBoy Quake.
• Adu Du's revenge in Season 2. He uses a shrinking pistol to shoot BoBoiBoy, Fang and Gopal. Computer explains that if they do not take the Magnifying formula, the boys will continue shrinking until they disappear.
• Ejo Jo's official appearance near the end of season 2. He knows everything about the heroes' powers' potential and has a more powerful battle robot than Adu Du's. He has no problem in destroying their elementary school, which potentially hurt other innocent students, and kidnapped their classmates along with Yaya, Ying and Gopal, and stole their power bands.
  • Doubled as Tear Jerker in Probe's Taking the Bullet moment. It's not only sad because it proved Probe's loyalty which causes Adu Du massive Villainous BSoD, but this scene is very unsettling for kids by showing a character being beaten and then killed on screen to protect their loved one in a brutal way.
• Ejo Jo using Fang's power band and releasing a gigantic "shadow dragon" which would potentially swallow everything around him without a trace.
• By Season 3, BoBoiBoy slowly suffers from stress due to exhaustion from his heroic and school duties, which resulted in him suddenly transforming into BoBoiBoy Fire without his knowledge every night. All the chaos that he caused in the night is because of his recklessness. When Adu Du rudely points this out to the public, he is clearly terrified and tries hard to control his anger and his stress in order to not transform into him. Unfortunately, BoBoiBot's taunts are the last straw in bringing him over the edge, and he transforms into BoBoiBoy Fire and begins to spin out of control, which made the citizens believe and agree with Adu Du's statement.
• BoBoiBot itself is also shown to be very nightmarish as he proved more powerful than the original BoBoiBoy, as his fire power is able to create a miniature sun while his water power had the potential to flood the entirety of Rintis Island.
• Once again, Ejo Jo comes to Earth to seek revenge on BoBoiBoy, making the heroes have no other choice but to accept Adu Du and Probe's help to defeat him. Ejo Jo then suddenly arrives right above them, now equipped with five gigantic battle robots and a battle suit with lasers capable of obliterating a hill right behind them.
• Captain Kaizo and Lieutenant Lahap's first appearance. They are an insanely powerful One-Man Army aliens that are able to defeat Ejo Jo and all his robots without breaking a sweat. Unlike the other antagonist, he is known to be a most fearsome figure in space known as the Legendary Space Rebel and is appearingly 20 years old, which is pretty young compared to the other baddies, making the heroes and the villains completely outmatched to defeat him. The only reason why BoBoiBoy and the others are able to be saved is because Fang has no other choice but to take all their power bands for his superior, so he can spare his friends' lives.
  • While most violence in the series is Played for Laughs, it is absolutely not funny to see him violently punish Fang due to his insubordination, he also attempted to slay Fang with his sword twice, especially after the reveal that he is Fang's older brother all along. For whatever reason, seeing Fang being punished by Kaizo is NOT. FUNNY.

BoBoiBoy Galaxy

• Space Mosquitoes are described as the most fearsome aliens that can suck the energy fuel from spaceships, and inhabit in a spaceship junkyard, the most forbidden zone in the galaxy. Have you ever wondered what happened to the rest of the spaceships' crew from this junkyard and why this place is considered as the most ''forbidden zone in galaxy''?^note Judging from Gopal's Black Comedy that he pretended to asphyxiate, it could be implied that the crew of the other spaceships in the junkyard suffered from a similar fate.
• Sure, overall That Joe-Ker ? episode was mostly a fun episode. But being trapped in a card game and controlled by villains to fight each other is an unsettling concept.
• Katakululu is seemingly harmless. But this creature possesses the ability to brainwash its targets and force them to do his bidding, even fighting to the death against their own allies. Katakululu is able to brainwash the weak and incompetent to become more powerful.
• Tarung's "fierce side" is pretty scary.In The Savage Trial, He tells the heroes that if they failed in the exam, they'll be thrown out of the space station. He even opens the airlock doors as a demonstration to prove he's not joking.
• The return of BoBoiBoy Fire. BoBoiBoy transformed into BoBoiBoy Fire out of anger at Sai and Shielda's statement of mocking Fang's sympathy for his "weak" human friends. Fire viciously attacks the twins and casually dodges Sai's shield. It's when he catches said shield as it bounces back that Sai looks severely troubled. If Gopal didn't plea to Tarung to stop the test and BoBoiBoy Fire's rage, he would have destroyed the planet with all of them on it.
• Almost everything in "Dark Circus" and "Thunderstorm Strike":
  • Jugglenaut turned out to have enslaved a bunch of power spheres in his base.
  • With Jugglenaut's successful encasement of the heroes' bodies with cement from Cementbot, it almost gave him a near total victory in defeating BoBoiBoy.
  • Jugglenaut's nose turns out to also be a power sphere named Nosebot. When he squeezes it, he turns into a colossal form and continues his fight against Kaizo. He almost overpowered the legendary space legend with a single blow. In this difficult situation, both BoBoiBoy and Kaizo force themselves to use the powerful second tier of their powers to stop Jugglenaut.
• Captain Vargoba. Just him ! Not only he has terrifying appearance. He also shown highly no-nonsense, brutal, and completely no humorous side on him to the point he made the previous Ax-Crazy Big Bad Ejo Jo and Bora Ra to shame.
  • He proved to be more powerful than Kaizo as he can break multiple Energy barrier with single punch.
  • After Gopal accidentally appear in front of him, Vargoba immediately attempted to kill him while angrily asking Gopal about his Stealthbot whereabouts.
  • After the heroes successfully take the Stealthbot, Vargoba immediately pulls Darkest Hour by invaded the TAPOPS station which resulting the Heroes side having trouble to faced him due to lack of preparation. To made it worsen, the space pirate blocked the communication system on the Base resulting on them has no other choice but fight him without helped by Higher-ups. Oh and don't forget he also take Gopal and Papa Zola as hostage, using them as password to forced the heroes to fight him or he will crushed both Gopal and Papa Zola like toothpick.
  • The entire fight against him. Vargoba's magnetism power is so powerful even its can caused a massive explosion and completely outmatched everyone including Admiral Tarung. After feels successfully defeat the Heroes, do you think he just takes all Power Sphere and runaway ? NO ! Vargoba once again taunts BoBoiBoy before he brutally smashed him out the space, which almost made the poor boy killed in process.
• Retak'ka overall character is perfect Evil Counterpart of BoBoiBoy for being "Master of Seven Elements" and example what happened if someone being consumed by their power. He willingly do everything to satisfying his own to be stronger even he need massacre everyone who dare to stop his way.
  • When he on his way to searching BoBoiBoy, Retak'ka effortlessly defeat the entire knights of Planet Gur'latan before absorb the power of electricity of its planet. When Fang and Kaizo arrive on the planet, all they found is nothing but a lifeless body of the knights.
  • Retak'ka's rampages on Gur'latan during Movie 2, combined with Kira'na's perspective in "Issue 24", mean this scene is nightmarish and sad at the same time. When she sees Thunderstorm use his deadly attack to destroy Robot Satriantar, Kira'na is suddenly shocked into silence with empty eyes because she remembers this attack is similar to a technique that Retak'ka Voltra use to kill her father. Given that Thunderstorm's attack is downright brutal to the point the robot end up in pieces, this heavily implies that Kira'na's father faced a brutal death at the villain's hand. No wonder Kira'na paints BoBoiBoy as a bad person and orders her guard to kill him while he is still unconscious.
• The symbols of 3rd-tier Elements speak volumes of their nature. From BoBoiBoy's clean and smooth emblems they turn jagged, distorted, and wild.
• Everything in the "Windara arc" especially since the planet Windara has become a Crapsack World thanks to Emperor Reramos's tyranny. Indeed this arc is considered Darker and Edgier compared to the other arcs:
  • Emperor Reramos enslaved his citizens for 100 years during Kuputeri's absence. He also has his five main generals to enforce his slavery over Windara's citizens. The adults, who are forced to work in a mine, are made to wear sensory rings to ensure that any attempt to leave the camp will result in a harsh punishment from one of the generals. At one point Muskida seemingly frees one of the prisoners as a "reward" for their "hard work", only the prisoner gets thrown into the cliff by Muskida's swarm of flies. If Fang late to save the poor prisoner, he would already killed.
  • As a result of many adults being captured and enslaved, the children of the planet Windara are forced to fend for themselves to stay alive without adults around them. They don't dare to go outside their houses without masks and weapons since they are afraid of being captured by the Klekatoan army.
  • Even the Klekatoan army cannot escape from the abuse. Emperor Reramos brainwashed the army into total obedience to him, making them into mindless Slave Mooks.
  • When facing Muskida, BoBoiBoy Thunderstorm appears behind him and slices his body into two. While Muskida survives since his lower body is artificial, this is still scary since not only is BoBoiBoy using Thunderstorm who is already aggressive by nature, he is not using "Elemental Split". This mean that BoBoiBoy has total control over his Elemental Form and proves that he has no problem with killing his opponent in a gruesome way.
  • The introduction of BoBoiBoy Tempest, the 3rd tier form of BoBoiBoy Cyclone. After defeating Karantular, BoBoiBoy Tempest instantly gets Mind Raped after using the the power of wind, causing him to become uncontrollable until Kuputeri calms him. Remember how Wind first evolves into Cyclone and becomes uncontrollable due to his emotions ? it was handled in the goofiest way. Then when Cyclone becomes Tempest, there are NO FUNNY MOMENTS during his introduction.
    Kuputeri : You control the power, it doesn't control you-
    BoBoiBoy Tempest : EERGH ! I CAN'T ! IT'S TOO STRONG !
    Kuputeri : Focus on my voice ! Calm yourself and let the power go !
  • Just look how Tempest was introduced. Not only does he laugh maniacally during his fought with Karantular, he also sports a disturbing Slasher Smile along with Glowing Eyes of Doom while declaring "play time" at his opponent introduction clearly makes Thunderstorm's introduction in the Original Season looks pale by comparison. The promotional Video of Card Game even makes the 3D version of BoBoiBoy Tempest even creepier, unlike in the comic version.
• BoBoiBoy once again lose his memory after Blaze and Ice are split for almost two days in Baraju. In Issue 20, when they feel using 2nd tier form is not enough to fighting, Blaze and Ice almost transform into Nova and Blizzard. If not because of Fang snap him into the sense before they could transform, there are possibility that they will be unstoppable or worse they would accidentally kill the others around them including both the local tribes and his teammate due to their destructive powers.
  • Special mention that their face is downright creepy and demonic when they almost transform into Nova and Blizzard.
    Blaze : YOU WILL REGRET FOR FORCING ME TO USE ALL MY POWER ! YOU READY ?!
    Ice: YOU THINK I WILL GIVE UP ?! IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO TASTE MY TRUE POWER !
    Blaze /Ice: (unison) NOVA / BLIZZARD !!!
• In issue 22 BoBoiBoy Tempest once again loses control of himself and his power during his training session with Hang Kasa. When Tempest tries to use his non-lethal technique, he gets another Mind Rape by suddenly remembering the recent trauma of his first transformation, Blazr and Ice fighting while having amnesia in Baraju, thinking about his friends' condition and fear of suffering the same fate as Retak'ka. Poor boy ended screaming in agony.
  • If you look closely at this moment, Retak'ka doesn't show up as a person in BoBoiBoy's nightmare, but as a demonic entity who tries to reach him. It is a symbol of BoBoiBoy almost being corrupted by his own power, which would potentially make him into a monster like Retak'ka.
• Putting aside the sympathetic circumstances of her character, Kira'na is a truly terrifying and manipulative person. She sets a perfect plan to bait BoBoiBoy and the other TAPOPS members to come to Gur'latan while making Kaizo stay away from them.No one is suspicious of her calm and friendly attitude. Not even her citizens are aware that she is the one who painted the heroes as "traitors" by pretending to be one of the victims during Robot Satriantar's rampages. After revealing herself to Kaizo as the mastermind of the havoc during a TAPOPS meeting, she immediately orders her guard to shoot Kaizo in his stomach and hunts the surviving heroes. This means Kaizo has no other choice but to run away with BoBoiBoy and Gopal to treat his wound.
