The film follows BoBoiBoy and his friends as they fight an ancient villain named Retak’ka, who plans to absorb BoBoiBoy's elemental powers.

BoBoiBoy Movie 2 was simultaneously released in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, and Singapore on 8 August 2019, and in Vietnam on 30 August 2019."BOBOIBOY 2: CUỘC CHIẾN NGÂN HÀ " CGV Cinemas Vietnam. Retrieved on 18 August 2019. A follow-up titled BoBoiBoy Movie 3: Ghost of Gurlatan, based on the Gur'latan arc from the comic version of the second season of BoBoiBoy Galaxy, is slated for release in 2027.

Plot On planet Saharu, Gopal and BoBoiBoy retrieve the Power Sphere EggaBot from a penguin monster's nest. Gopal drops one of its eggs, awakening the monster. Adu Du and Probe steal EggaBot, prompting Fang and Yaya to intervene. Before returning, BoBoiBoy rescues Adu Du and Probe.

In space, crystal miners discover Retak'ka, the first elemental master, who was sealed 100 years earlier inside an asteroid. After completing their missions, BoBoiBoy's crew visit Tok Aba's Kokotiam and meet their relatives, including Papa Zola's daughter Pipi Zola. Retak'ka escapes with a fragment of his powers and forces the miners to take him to TAPOPS. Meanwhile, BoBoiBoy invites Fang to dinner at Aba's home, while Zola and Gopal take Pipi aboard Zola's spaceship to show her EggaBot. Pipi activates it, preventing Adu Du and Probe from stealing it.

Retak'ka attacks TAPOPS Station, prompting Koko Ci to send an emergency message with coordinates to planet Quabaq. BoBoiBoy has OchoBot teleport the group to the station, where Retak'ka demands his stolen powers and defeats Fang, Yaya and Ying before draining BoBoiBoy's Solar, Thunderstorm, Cyclone and Thorn elements. Gopal rescues BoBoiBoy as Koko Ci orders them to save themselves and find Hang Kasa. Zola teleports his spaceship to Quabaq, where it crashes in a caustic swamp, while the miners detonate explosives around TAPOPS Station.

On Quabaq, BoBoiBoy and OchoBot recover Koko Ci's damaged message before evacuating with Gopal and Zola, who has inadvertently brought Pipi with him. Adu Du and Probe escape. When the group encounters light-sensitive Kang Kong sloths, BoBoiBoy distracts them using Blaze, since Retak'ka has stolen his Solar element. Kasa rescues them and offers to train BoBoiBoy and Gopal against Retak'ka.

Retak'ka drains planet Gur'Latan, killing its soldiers. After rescuing the survivors from TAPOPS Station, Captain Kaizo investigates Gur'Latan with Fang and discovers that Retak'ka has been draining planets to increase his power. They track him to Bayugan, where Ying warns the inhabitants. Retak'ka then attacks planet Rimbara, forcing Kaizo's group to evacuate its Cendawa alien tribe. Maskmana deploys ArmoBot to help Fang, Yaya and Ying resist Retak'ka as he drains the planet.

After completing their training, BoBoiBoy and Gopal are charged by Kasa, who traps them in crystal when they cannot pay and takes back BoBoiBoy's Quake element. Pipi suspects Kasa has lied after Zola sees OchoBot powering his house, but Kasa reveals that he is the master of the Crystal element. He plays the repaired message, proving Koko Ci never instructed BoBoiBoy to train under him. Kasa explains that he and Retak'ka met on planet Gugura, a large landfill, where they discovered elemental Power Spheres. Retak'ka greedily took five additional elements and coveted Kasa's Crystal power, so Kasa used OchoBot to drain his elements and imprison him in crystal.

Realising Kasa had lured him to Quabaq using BoBoiBoy's location, Retak'ka challenges him to a duel on Earth after learning from Fang, Ying and Yaya that Earth possesses the seven elements he needs. Pipi frees BoBoiBoy and Gopal with EggaBot, allowing BoBoiBoy to fight Retak'ka. Kasa intervenes when Retak'ka attempts to kill him, but Retak'ka then drains Kasa's Crystal power. The Zolas, Adu Du and Probe defeat the miners, freeing Fang, Yaya and Ying. Remembering that splitting his powers weakens him, BoBoiBoy fuses Ice and Blaze into FrostFire. Gopal throws OchoBot to him, enabling BoBoiBoy to drain Retak'ka's Crystal power. When Fang, Yaya and Ying overpower Retak'ka, he destroys a nearby dam. BoBoiBoy drains Retak'ka's remaining elements and launches him into space as Supra, formed by fusing Thunderstorm and Solar, before collapsing into the river, where his friends rescue him.

The group recuperates at a field hospital with their families, while the rescued Cendawa tribe helps rebuild Earth. Kasa acknowledges BoBoiBoy as the new master of the elements. Maskmana gives ArmoBot to BoBoiBoy's father Amato for diagnostics, believing he should help BoBoiBoy.
