Band Together[]
- Years ago, before the events of the first film, he had a tragic past as he had a music band with his brothers called BroZone, but one day when they had a fight when their first tour show failed and they abandoned him, when he was a baby (but Floyd promised him to return back with him), he got the charge to take care of their grandma, and after Floyd gave him his leaf vest, he hugged him and gave his last goodbye to him.
- He helped Poppy, the Pop Trolls, and the Bergens prepare Bridget and Gristle’s wedding.
- Although he was reluctant, he decided to accompany John Dory on his mission to save their brother from Velvet and Veneer, after being convinced by Poppy and out of care and concern for Floyd.
- He provided a clue board so he and the group can find Spruce, who ended up changing his name into Bruce, and Clay.
- He used one of Clay's Funderdraws to make Rhonda follow his track and found him in an old Bergen mini-golf course ruled by a Troll named Viva (who later turned out to be Poppy's sister).
- When Poppy was very excited to realize that Viva is her sister and when they passed time together, he along with his brothers formed a plan on how to rescue Floyd on Mount Rageous from Velvet and Veneer.
- When Viva attempted to lock him, Poppy, Tiny, and his brothers to prevent them from leaving the Hole N’Fun in ordered to be safe, he along with Poppy tried to reason with her that the Bergens are no longer trying to eat the Trolls (especially when Poppy revealed that her best friend Bridget was a Bergen) and that he was like Viva, when he built his bunker and live it in there for years, but when Clay opened the gates and Viva let them go.
- He comfort Poppy when Viva refused at first to go with them to save Floyd.
- Upon seeing his siblings arguing, he tried to break it up and calm his three brothers down.
- Although he abandoned his brothers when he got mad at them for their arguing and selfish behavior, he had every right to be upset with them because of their treatment towards him and walking out on him when he was a baby. Also, he outright tells his brothers that their grandma got eaten by the evil Chef Bergen and no one was there to take care of him, which got the three of them to realize how lonely their youngest sibling was and that he truly cared about them.
- After leaving his brothers, he decided to go rescue Floyd at Mount Rageous before Velvet and Veneer's show at the Rage Dome alone with Poppy and Tiny joining him.
- Upon finding Floyd and he insisted he leave as he warned him of the trap that Velvet and Veneer had set for him alongside their brothers, he refused to abandon another one of his siblings and told the latter that he wasn't leaving without him, but was forced to leave him when Velvet and Veneer were coming in.
- Seeing the rest of his brothers capture, he showed concern for them, which shows that despite his argument with his siblings he still cared about them and doesn't want anything to happen to them. Also, he became regretful in leaving his brothers and blamed himself for their capture.
- He and his friends free Rhonda, along with Crimp.
- He, along with Poppy, Tiny, Rhonda, and Crimp arrived to the Rage Dome to confront against Velvet and Veneer and save his brothers.
- When he, Poppy, and Viva arrived in Velvet and Veneer's boat, they battled against them, and managed to free John Dory, Bruce, and Clay, but failed with Floyd as Velvet worked hard to prevent them from saving him.
- Through Poppy's advice to Viva, he helped his brothers realize that their story may have been complicated and it doesn't matter if it isn't perfect as long they were together, which they take to heart and accepted that he has grown up.
- He lead his brothers Poppy and Viva in giving a very good music show (better than Velvet and Venner) and they succeeded on hitting the perfect Family Harmony; saving Floyd, freeing his brothers from the diamond prisons, and defeating Velvet and Veneer (although the latter decided to redeemed himself by exposing his sister and himself).
- When Floyd sacrificed himself to save their brothers, he rushed to catch his siblings lifeless body.
- Through their love for Floyd and each other, he and their siblings revived their fallen brother, much to their relief and joy.
- After Velvet's defeat and Veneer's redemption, he apologizes to Poppy for not opening up to her sooner and then shared their first true love kiss, officially becoming a true love couple.
- Through his adventure with his brothers, he and his family not only reconciled but also reformed BroZone as they decided to performed a reunion show in Vacay Island, along with Branch's older friends' club; Kismet.
- When Clay, also on behalf of their brothers, apologizes to him for not being there for him and missing out of seeing him grow up, he quickly forgave him and their siblings, which shows that he has moved forward from his past issues with his family and was not only happy to have them back in his life but also have a better relationship with them.
- During the first part of the BroZone reunion show, he performed with his friends, but invited his brothers to join them for the end.
- After the first part of the show on Vacay Island ended, he invited Poppy and Viva to join BroZone with him and his brothers, and it is implied that after BroZone got back together, they went to perform tour shows.
What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]
- Despite shredding most of his corrupting factors, there are moments where he can act like a jerk at times.
- He can be lethal at times, such as chasing Cloud Guy with intents to kill him and strangling Creek before he announces his betrayal, while they were understandable, he still went too far.
