This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. (November 2020) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)

BoBoiBoy and Gopal are on a mission to Planet Saharu to claim a Power Sphera among a penguin monster's eggs. Gopal accidentally drops the egg he is supposed to replace the Power Sphera with, hatching a baby. The monster chases them, not before BoBoiBoy escapes via Ice Slide. Gopal was caught by the mother penguin, not before BoBoiBoy notices Adu Du and Probe stealing the Power Sphera. A chase ensues before Fang defeats them while he calls Yaya to rescue Gopal. Before the gang departs, BoBoiBoy rescues Adu Du and Probe.

A group of miners locate an alien imprisoned within crystal. 100 years ago, he and another alien clashed before the latter seals him in a Crystal Prison and draining his powers. On the voyage home, Tarung commends BoBoiBoy's team for rescuing the every Power Sphera given, although Fang questions BoBoiBoy for nearly jeopardizing the mission by saving Adu Du and Probe. The alien unfreezes from Crystal Prison and introduces himself as Retak'ka, before finding out that he has a remnant of his crystal powers. Claiming to be the first master of the Elements, he threatened the leader of the miners into giving him the location of BoBoiBoy and TAPOPS for Power Spheras, assuring that he will not harm them and give them more crystals.

The gang land at Tok Aba's Kokotiam and meet their family members. It turns out that Papa Zola had a daughter with Mama Zila, Pipi Zola. Fang, who was worried about the safety of their Power Sphera, was invited to have dinner at Aba's home. Adu Du and Probe almost tried to obtain the Power Sphera, but Pipi Zola, who was accidentally brought to the ship, activates the Power Sphera, EggaBot, giving her tortoise armor and defeating Adu Du and Probe.

Koko Ci sends an emergency message to BoBoiBoy and his gang as their base, TAPOPS Station was under attack. BoBoiBoy and his gang reach Planet Quabaq. However, BoBoiBoy insists to go to TAPOPS Station. They were astonished to see that the Station was wrecked with Koko Ci and Tarung beaten. BoBoiBoy faces Retak'ka only for the latter to overpower him, even with Fang, Ying and Yaya. Retak'ka shows his disapproval at BoBoiBoy splitting his powers after he tried to attack him. He absorbs 5 out of 7 of BoBoiBoy's powers before using his Darkwood form to ensnare their main ship in vines. Gopal approaches and saves BoBoiBoy, who plans to save Yaya, Ying and Fang. However, Ochobot urgently plans to teleport them to Planet Quabaq. As they leave, Koko Ci tells BoBoiBoy to find Hang Kasa.

The group crash lands at a river of acidic slime in Planet Quabaq. BoBoiBoy and Ochobot stay back to quickly disclose information about Hang Kasa before Gopal tells them to leave the ship. BoBoiBoy then transforms into Ice to freeze the slime, saving more time for them to evacuate and frees Papa Zola. He suddenly checks on Adu Du and Probe, who turned out to not be present in the ship. They encounter Kang Kongs, sloth monsters which are slow in light but fast in dark. Due to his Solar element being stolen by Retak'ka, BoBoiBoy resorts to Blaze, before reverting into his original form after having not enough energy. The Kang Kongs proceed to attack the group, only to be saved by another person, who the next day, introduces himself as Hang Kasa.

Kasa tells them more information about Retak'ka, before offering to charge the Power Spheras and inviting BoBoiBoy, Gopal, Adu Du and Probe to train for the battle against Retak'ka. Meanwhile, Retak'ka goes on a conquest to upgrade his Elemental powers by absorbing energy from various planets. He prepares to drain energy from Planet Gur'lathan. The remaining TAPOPS members discuss about going to where BoBoiBoy is located. Captain Kaizo has actually rescued Fang, Yaya and Ying from the exploding TAPOPS Station and placed a tracker on Retak'ka's ship. Fang and Kaizo got down on Gur'latan, where they find out that all the guards have been defeated. Yaya and Ying then track Retak'ka and his crew to Planet Bayugan, where Retak'ka plans to upgrade his Wind element. Ying sends a warning signal to inform them about him.

While BoBoiBoy and Gopal continue their training, the miners trace BoBoiBoy's location near Planet Rimbara. Kaizo's side prepares to evacuate the native tribesmen. With the last one finally on board, Retak'ka begins to absorb the planet's energy and traps Kaizo's ship. While Yaya, Ying and Fang hold off Retak'ka, Captain Kaizo manages to blast off. BoBoiBoy and Gopal think about when they will be able to complete their training, before coming to realize that the sooner that they can complete their training, the soon that they could return to Earth. They then continue their training.

Papa Zola and his daughter then come across Tok Kasa's house, which is a restricted area. In a twist, the Zolas find out that his house was full of technology. BoBoiBoy and Gopal were forced to pay training fees, at where Gopal only has one dollar Hang Kasa mentions another way to pay for their training by means of taking BoBoiBoy's Quake Element. He trapped BoBoiBoy and Gopal in Crystal, and in no time he starts absorbing the Quake Element.

The Zolas, Adu Du and Probe locate Ochobot where they eventually found out that Hang Kasa had its databank fixed. They found out that Hang Kasa was the original master of the Crystal Element and an old friend of Retak'ka. The former had discovered him on Planet Gugura, a large landfill. They were best of friends, at where Kasa discovered the Power Sphera CrystalBot while Retak'ka discovered the Power Sphera GammaBot. However, Retak'ka became greedy, stealing more Elements. He went for Hang Kasa's Crystal power, which made Hang Kasa use Ochobot to drain the Elements from him.

Retak'ka then tells the gang to fight him at Earth, saying that if he had not came across Fang, Yaya and Ying and took them as hostages, he wouldn't have known about it as it contains all 7 Elements. Kasa also realizes that the Crystal Prison had kept him younger than he normally should be. Hang Kasa attempts to double cross Retak'ka by saying that the real Hang Kasa cannot come due to a stomach ache, while Pipi Zola uses EggaBot to free BoBoiBoy and Gopal before it is fully charged. Retak'ka manages to defear his former master before plotting to kill him. However, BoBoiBoy blocks the attack, before Retak'ka pins him to a rock. Gopal senses that BoBoiBoy is in danger and joins the fight, as Zola activates EggaBot to fight the miners. Retak'ka proceeds to kill BoBoiBoy, but Hang Kasa prevents him from doing so and insists on giving BoBoiBoy the Quake Element to encourage BoBoiBoy to stop Retak'ka and apologizes for turning his back on him.

BoBoiBoy realizes that Retak'ka told him that splitting only makes him weaker, so he fuses Blaze and Ice to create FrostFire, Gopal hands him Ochobot to take away Retak'ka's Crystal Element. Retak'ka fights back as Voltra, but Ying, Yaya and Fang, who were freed by Papa Zola, team up with BoBoiBoy to defeat Retak'ka. Refusing to admit defeat, he destroys a nearby dam, but BoBoiBoy freezes him with Ice Giant and sends him to outer space as Supra before collapsing into the river below. The remaining members then jump into the river to save BoBoiBoy.

BoBoiBoy wakes up in the space hospital where he was greeted by his friends and family. Mama Zila gets angry at Zola for bringing her daughter to the mission. Hang Kasa passes down his responsibilities of handling the 7 Elements to BoBoiBoy, before they share an embrace.

In a post-credits scene, Maskmana hands his Power Sphera, ArmoBot to Amato to repair. Amato asks Maskmana on why he shouldn't have joined the fight, where the latter answers that he should be the one who had helped BoBoiBoy. Amato denies that, saying that BoBoiBoy needs to be independent as there is a more important mission waiting for him.

Production[]

The director Nizam Razak stated that the process of filmmaking for this second film is faster than the first film and only took one year to be finished. They enforced a 12-month deadline to see if they can make a film without jeopardising the quality or the storyline of the animation.^[4] He admitted there is pressure in completing the movie on time but his production team of 100 people managed to do that within that time. They used better technology such as Redshift and comprehensive simulation method^[5] even though the cost will be higher to give the best quality to the audience.^[6] If the reaction to this film is positive, they plan to make movies consistently, with a new film every one year or every one-and-a-half year.^[4]

It successfully achieved its target by overtaking the first movie after just 8 days, collecting RM15.80 million. In 18 days, the film has collected RM25 million within three weeks.
