Chiya (BST)/Coverage/Season Four

This article gives an overview of Chiya's appearances throughout "Season Four" of *BillionSurpriseToys*.

## Summary

After having a major renaissance in "Season Two" and "Season Three", Chiya suddenly became somewhat less prominent in "Season Four". This was not the case at first—Chiya was in fact arguably the deuteragonist to Zayy early on, with many videos outright focusing on him. However, as the series progressed and became mostly set in the park, Chiya lost focus, perhaps due to his role as the eldest child being less important outside of the household setting. When he does appear, Chiya is usually portrayed as mature and helpful, sometimes appearing near the end of a video to fix the problems caused or suffered by the others. His old role as Zayy's guiding older sibling and deuteragonist has been filled by both Johny and Dolly, to whom Chiya occasionally continues to fill the same role.

## Coverage

"Dolly and the Baby are playing with bubbles!", the first video of the "season", features Chiya in a supporting role. He is the third character to speak (after Emily and Zayy, and is introduced eating a bowl of salad, establishing his role as the obedient and well-behaved eldest boy. Emily tells Chiya to watch Zayy, highlighting the trust she has in him, and he obeys, telling Zayy to hurry up drinking his milk by saying "you don't have any choice" in an unusually mocking tone. This suggests that he retains the mischievous he has had since he was "Bad Baby", which manifested itself even in "Season One" in him teasing his siblings. However, Zayy retaliates by pouring his milk into Chiya's drained glass when he is distracted, and Chiya drinks the milk without ever learning of the subterfuge. For some reason, Chiya does nothing to prevent Zayy leaving when he goes to investigate Dolly's bubbles, and he is not seen thereafter.

In "Let’s get Itsy Bitsy spider to his friends!", Chiya is accidentally shot in the rear by Zayy with a dart gun while fiddling with his bicycle. He goes to scold his brother but finds him trying to get a baby spider onto a tree to its parents. Upon seeing this, he decides to help, and places the creature onto a tree branch, lifting it up to the tree and reuniting the family. Delighted, Zayy thanks his brother, and the two share a hug.

In "Playtime with Excavator Toy! Baby find missing items with toy digger!", Chiya is fixing his treehouse when he notices he is missing his tennis ball. Zayy uses his toy excavator to find the missing ball (stolen by Bingo) and then helps Chiya lift his bag and sports equipment up to his treehouse. As thanks, Chiya promises to tell his brother when the treehouse is ready so that they may play together in it.

In "Playtime with Robo Dino! Johnny and Dolly explore a new ride at the park.", Chiya is ultimately revealed to be the one in control of the eponymous robot. He laughs about pranking Johny and Dolly, then lets them play with the machine, much to their delight.

"Chiya is here with a huge gumball machine!" sees Chiya return after a short absence. Zayy bumps into him in the garden and finds that he has built a huge gumball machine—perhaps inspired by his old friend Gumball Man. When he offers to let his siblings each have a gumball if they can find an object matching the colour of the sweet, Johny and Dolly cannot agree on which of them ought to go first. Chiya quells their arguing and has them settle it with a game of rock-paper-scissors. He gives Johny a pair of binoculars to help him find a blue object (matching his gumball). Zayy later breaks the machine, though Chiya does not mind, and laughs at him as he eats his gumballs.

In "Happy Halloween! Chiya and Zay to make some funny faces with Jack O lanterns.", Chiya and Zayy make some funny faces with jack-o'-lanterns.

In "Trick or treat sweets are missing 🎃! Come and find out who took it away from the kids.", Chiya sets up the jack-o'-lanterns for Hallowe'en. When Dolly and Zayy find that their pumpkin juice and sweets have been pilfered, Chiya stops their crying and the three investigate the thievery. They discover that the culprit is Mr Squirri, but find that the loot is not in his house. Eventually, much to their shock, they discover that Mr Squirri has stolen the treats for his "master", who turns out to be Johny.

In "Halo Halo Halloween night 🎃 with Trampoline! Explore a scary night with Johnny and Dolly.", when neither Johny, Dolly, nor Zayy can inflate the Hallowe'en bouncy castle, the latter goes to find Chiya, who is once again arranging jack-o'-lanterns. Chiya manages the feat, but does not jump on the castle himself. He shows up at the end of the video to take "a Hallowe'en selfie", whose name belies the fact that Chiya himself is actually the only one not in it.

"The little Hamster is lost! Kids get ready to find him!" once again features Chiya after something of a hiatus. When Zayy informs him that the family's hamster Marshmallow has gone missing, Chiya asks *him* if any animals out there could hurt the hamster, in an unusually childish moment perhaps caused by his worry for the lost pet. The brothers realise that the creature could be killed if he wandered onto the road. Chiya regains his composure, and as the elder brother he reassures Zayy that they will find Marshmallow. The brothers seek their pet, with Chiya naturally taking the lead. Eventually, he has the bright idea to lure Marshmallow out with his favourite vittles: carrots. While they wait for him to take the bait, they fall asleep next to each other, but are awoken when the trap is tripped by Mr Squirri. Chiya retrieves a magnifying glass and with this tracks the wayward cricetid's footprints. They track him to a garage, where they find Johny decorating for Christmas Eve. Suddenly, Marshmallow reveals himself from inside a small stocking, and the three brothers are pleased to see him.

"Funny playtime with kids. Explore the lovely home facade views." is a return to the Chiya-Johny-Dolly dynamic of old; Zayy is entirely absent. The twins ask Chiya to "click some snaps" of them mucking about near their house, which he is happy to do. Chiya's teasing nature comes out somewhat when he refuses to let his siblings see the photos he has taken until the end. Eventually, the three are sat on their front steps, where they share a laugh over the comical photos Chiya ended up taking.

Zayy regains his chokehold on the series in “Johnny and Baby Zay joins Chiya to play the wonderful Gumball Machine toss christmas game.”, which features him and Johny joining Chiya in more gumball machine-related rannygazoo. They are joined by Mr Squrri and the monkey. Whether Chiya regularly organised such Christmas games is not known.
