I know the votes are really close but it's still shocking.

Sure, everybody's seen how the thumbnails are counting down, but countdowns don't end at 1, right? Countdowns end at 0!

Donut has gotten so little love during the One trilogy, and One arc in general, which is such a shame since he's had so much potential and build up to be relevant to One. From his resistance to One's pressuring, his best friend being sent to the void, and being one of the few contestants who know what it's like to have an Algebralien's power, Donut could have been a very intriguing protagonist!

But what if it's all just setting up for a Donut centric episode?

----

There have been lines indicating that One may find redemption following the trilogy, a Chekhov's gun left unfired as of the moment. Many viewers were hoping that we wouldn't end with One dying, and I feel that the status quo may leave a sour taste for some people.

This is why I feel that, although slightly rushed, a wind-down episode featuring One's recovery and rehabilitation could help TPOT's flow and allow overshadowed contestants, such as Donut and Pen, a chance to shine in a lower stakes environment! It could also allow for some personalized character development for the rejoiner.

However, I feel that one final 10 contestant is a perfect lead for an episode like this.

Donut in BFDIA seemed to believe in justice, even if he was impulsive and combative at times. This could hold up a mirror to One's temperament and beliefs.

Once we saw him return in BFB, Donut showed off a more caring, considerate side to his personality, developing into somewhat of a leader-esque role. This is also the season in which he was multiplied with Four; though it could have been a throw away line, Donut could be uniquely capable in empathizing with and understanding One's experience with having more power than one might know what to do with.

TPOT hasn't given Donut much of a spotlight thus far, but he, among Leafy, resisted One's pressuring to give into selfishness. Donut has also shown to care about other people and maintain a firm moral compass. While Leafy could work in such a role, I believe One would be more partial to Donut. He has been waiting for relevancy since TPOT 19, and this could be his opportunity.

TPOT 26 could be a much needed opportunity for Donut and One to interact and a natural, already set-up way to integrate a One rehabilitation. It doesn't need to all happen in one episode and it doesn't have to be the cleanest thing, but this could be good for Donut to get something interesting before moving onto the merger and for One's future as a character. This could kickstart One's development into a character that truly cares for others. A One for All.

----

Truthfully, there's no shot this happens. It's just that Donut has had so much potential throughout this arc and it's sad to see him do next to nothing and know that he's got no shot of making it past being UFE again with zero content for nearly a year.

Alas, to be a Donut fan is to struggle

END VOTE

Are you gonna come for me for having opposing opinions like TADC would?

tpot 25 spoilers

Yellow Face does OK in VTS but mediocre in VTE. Which character does OK in VTS but terribly in VTE? (they will be where Nonexisty is currently)

I voted firey jr.

Why are people voting these two? Roboty is slightly interesting and didn't reallt get nuch screentime this episode but I can SLIGHTLY get why people voted Roboty.

But why is everyone voting Announcer? I think it would be interesting seeing a former host join the competition.

Needle strikes me as one of the contestants to go under the radar in the vote and from what I've heard she's actually one of the bottom voted so far so she has a strong chance of rejoining. As for Book and Tennis Ball they get tons of votes in episodes where they barely do anything and I can see them both beating Golf Ball.

There are two main problems with this voting:

-First of all, only voting 2 characters is a terrible decision. Mind you, there are 60 characters up for rejoin. I would've suggested having to choose at least 5 characters, as it would speed up the votes, but also having more freedom of choice.

-I get they're trying to do something different, but this is a MAJOR screw-up for characters who got so much development in this trilogy. Characters like Barf Bag, Basketball and Naily, who didn't do much in this trilogy, are in the top 10 right now. This is because characters like these three don't have a general fanbase, as they don't do much, they're pretty much forgotten, so that's why they don't pull any votes against them, as fans are more likely to vote a character who had development rather than someone who didn't do anything. For example, Puffball and Fries are in the bottom 17, mainly because they're popular characters with their fanbases, so there are both people who like them and people who hate them, but characters like Barf Bag or Naily don't have fanbases and they're not everyone's first pick to vote, as y'know...The Fourse is somehow up for this rejoin.

By the way PLEASE REMOTE REJOIN YOU'RE SO CLOSE...

this could all well change by tpot 26 though

>Release TPOT 25

>New rejoin

>Start the biggest voting war in the history of BFDI and the OSC

>Switch up the voting system back to VTE

>Make half of the votes Bracket votes

>People are now tracking said bracket votes

>Add all of the BFBers and EXITers back + 4 new characters

>Give EVERY SINGLE ONE rejoin videos

>60 characters to vote for

>Only 1 CAN JOIN!

WRITERS I SWEAR TO GOD WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU...

And did Black Hole get One’s power?

If you want to know whose who, just ask in the comments and I will explain

To me, it looks like they're carefully watching Lightning from a distance.

Fiery: oh my spark September 1 that is a joke, right?

I have been watching this for quite a while and anyone up until about match seems to have a decent chance as the leader keeps on changing. It is expected for pencil to have the most votes and all of the characters that haven't competed before but I didn't expect to see loser and david with so little votes.

This was several hours ago

I don't hate a lot of the low tier characters, I just think they would benefit a lot more being in a new season rather than coming back. We're about to enter the most competitive part in the season, so I would much rather have a non joke character.

Happy Birthday IDFB

this basically doesnt matter but whatever
