- The REAL reason Wallabee Beetles, AKA Numbuh 4 was so angry and aggressive in Codename Kids Next Door...
The Kids Next Door was an organization that was packed with some of the toughest and coolest kids you’ll ever see on TV. But almost none of the members of KND proved to be as aggressive or violent as Wallabee Beetles, AKA Numbuh 4. Which is weird when you think about what his parents and the other members of his team were like. After analyzing his character a little further though, the answer to his aggression becomes really clear. And in this case, it has to do with personal insecurities that Numbuh 4 has never learned to deal with.

![Why Hopper is a Fantastic Villain [A Bug's Life]](/img/1.gif)
Maybe his parents secretly wanted a daughter, and made it known in Wally's early years? This could give more depth to his hatred of feminine things, and him being sent to an all girl's boarding school "by accident".
Makes me wonder if they treated his younger brother the same way.
@@gabrieltejada1697 or maybe they were told Wally was gonna be a girl but instead got a boy. While Joey was a boy from the start
prehaps maybe the reverse. ive known some transgirl that have repressed being girls by hating all girly things and this repression leads to anger issues.
@@the-nina-beans88that’s what my mom was told and she doesn’t fail to let me know that
@@pascalprincess this show wasn't about closeted people. Back then majority was straight with man/boys like number 2, very in tune with their feminine side without being gay or secretly wanting to be a woman.
We also learned from the knd movie he was bullied on his first day of school. So it makes more sense he would keep up this facade.
But he's actually shown 2b Brave, as his Negative counterpart is a coward plus he always directly confronts bullies so much so Ernie had to call in for backup.
@@coffeelover0876Yeah Numbah Four ain’t no punk for sure
What episode was that shown in?
@@Cacowninja In the movie Numbuh 1 mentioned that he helped protect him from bullies at school.
wallabee beatles is death
I remember a theory that the reason Numbah 4 was so bad at homework (especially his spelling homework) was because he's unknowingly dyslexic. Given how he ends up going to Harvard and becoming rather successful, he might have eventually been taught methods to overcome that.
HE went to harvard!? Good for him, also what episode was this cus I keep seeing it being referenced. maybe its because it's been forever but did they have an episode of the KND's future and i didn't see it?
@@lonelcrosley If I remember correctly it was the KND movie
@lonelcrosley In the finale they had Live action actors to portray the kids now grown up (except numbah 1). They're recomissioned and interviewed about what happened on their last mission with Numbah 1.
@@remnock oh thats so cool! thank u so much. makes me want to watch it now! I think i didn't manage to see that back then
probably will bindge watch the show later on for that. and to also see what else i missed.
thank u again
@@Timepilot94yeah it’s implied that Numbah 5 made some of the story up as to Numbah 1’s plan
That said, he turned out alright, though, as he ended up going to Harvard. And mind you, this show was made BEFORE college started to be viewed as a scam, so he likely took quite a few level-ups in the IQ stat in order to get in.
Beat the books and read the remains.
Thats the one thing NOBODY saw coming. Wallys a genius.
But i dont think that kicked in until he turned 13 and got decommissioned so he didnt have to worry about being the "muscle" of the team.
But who knew he was that smart?
But then again. His Negative counterpart was an evil genius too. he just wasnt a fighter. Guess that really hinted at that huh?
@@furionmax7824 If you recall the episode, Negative Numbuh 4 is called a coward not a bad fighter. While on the surface those two seem indistinguishable, being a coward doesn't really preclude one from being decent in a scrap. It just tends to mean he wouldn't fight unless he had the edge over his opponent, be it numerical superiority or tactical, pragmatic but not impressive. Also -#4 wasn't really a genius, he led through fear but was all to willing to discuss betraying his loyal subordinates in favor of his explicit enemies in front of them and didn't seem to think that might lead to betrayal...
Well, more like 'before College took several dozen downgrades in quality'.
@@LordTyphit’s not that college quality went down. It’s that information is free online, so even the best college is a glorified diploma mill. That and prices going way way up. And that’s a uniquely US thing, college is either free or has tuition capped in many other countries.
a combination of both his insecurities and his parent's inability to try and talk things out with their son
I though his behavior and hatred for rainbow monkeys were due to his parents desire for a daughter and they end up having him and his brother.
Him lashing out like that showing how much of a boy he is and refusing his sensitive side
Yeah, I'd say Numbuh 4 suffers from jealousy of his little brother too. Ironically, Joey is a master at dodgeball and ridiculously OP and capable, but he puts up the baby front to make his brother feel better probably. He's cute and the baby of the family and likely gets judged less by his parents and more attention from them too.
Except guys being sensitive is not a good thing.
I think this points out a problem that often gets ignored. If a man has toxic traits he is either ignored or pushed into his feminity. Most men like being masculine and should be encouraged to have healthy masculinity. Not all masculinity is toxic.
Some years ago, people talked about how these agressive boys should be taught how to channel the agression in a productive way. Doing sports was the go-to option.
Now they're just told to cry whenever and wherever.
It's not just "in touch with femininity" but rather, with the sense of responsability of a little girl, and that's asking them to be crushed by the world.
pushed into his femininity?
Yeah numbuh 4 was like the Buttercup of the group. Always acting tough and is very aggressive towards anyone who comes across as a threat.
a chihuahua
Except Buttercup was actually tough
More lke the Vegeta of the group.
@@dodge1515 Oh _nah_ 💀
@@seg162 I mean, he's kinda right, remember the Dragonball parody he had.
It was also stated he himself was bullied in the movie, Numbuh 1 said he protected him from bullies, which was how they met
numbuh 1 is just that guy

@@dodoiserg3371Numbuh 1 IS him
And yet Numbuh 4 Graduated Medical school at Harvard
wow
And eventually married Numbuh 3 (Kuki Sanban). And there is a possibility that he and Kuki were not really decommissioned but continue as undercover ops for the KND in their free time ,outside of their adult career
@cholodelrosari0543 Wow what of a twist of a character development
Putting out there, numbuh 4 has a baby brother, and kids also act more aggressive when there’s a baby in the house.
Heck, they just act aggressive when the dynamic is changed so drastically.
Humans act unpredictably when the status quo changes abruptly
It really depends on 1) the individual older sibling and 2) the parents’ effort on preparing the older sibling.
Funny how Numbuh 3 also has parents with opposite personalities and sometimes has her father's attitude basically the sudden anger. Also how everytime we see her grow up, we always see her become very serious like her mom
Just remember folks that the tolietnator is number 4s uncle. This is from a comic from the series
The Toiletnator was just a venture bros character trapped in the wrong set of timeslots on CN/AS
Yes his Dads twin brother. But I don’t think it will ever top number 1 being related to Number zero, Father, Grandfather, and the delightful children. A secret family of KND history.
The boarding schools would have created the insecurities. They are basically saying that he isn't good enough this parents' attention.
“Boy sent to school where principal abides to a secret world conquest agenda to the endgoal of changing all the boys in the world into girls” is a writing scenario you could never get away with in anything fictional nowadays.
You probably could of the boy was transmasc and his parents were bigots
It would also give more character motivation-the character wants to remain a boy and knows that forcing everyone to identify as something they may not be is painful
@@nightmarestarofthunderclan8545thats not more motivation its the literal same motivation
@@nightmarestarofthunderclan8545 Maybe you could. But played for laughs? Absolutely not. Completely out of the question.
Thinking on it that two episode sequence was a nice way of showing that sexism from either side is bad.
Harry Potter and the Femboy convergence plan
Insecurities always manage to bring out the worst in people. I would know because I've seen people act disrespectful on account of their respective insecurities more times than I could count.
It’s probably the fact his parents desired a daughter as their first born child & got a son instead.
Some parents let it be known, which would damage his masculinity. That right there could explain his hatred for feminine things & showing his sensitive side.
And there’s the possibility of him being jealous of his little brother. His parents showered Joey with affection
Wally was my probably my second favorite knd character.
He may have been a rough and tough character but he wasn’t without his vulnerable moments.
Numbuh 4 was my favorite character so much, I actually tried to act like him by acting tough and strong. Also I use to say I hated Rainbow Monkeys.
Even as a kid, I could see Numbuh 4's aggression as an opportunity for character development.
As a small kid always physically looking up at most people, I can see why he got an up-in-your-face attitude as a defense mechanism.
A little detail you forgot to mention, is that number 4 is like his uncle, the two are considered lesser by his teammates, and both react with violence.
Walley is basically a trope. A ten-year-old boy who wants to appear strong, torments his crush to not let on that he has one, and isn't very bright. Often, they grow out of it, as Walley is shown to have done in the final episode of the series where he's a successful businessman and he and Kuki are happily married.
I’m surprised you didn’t bring up the “Bully Fights” which were a play on matadors except the kids were fighting adults raged with forced fed caffeine.
Later Wallaby ends up having to fight his own father and learns that the male adults were kidnapped after trying to attend a “How to be a better dad” seminar, which was a trick.
It’s possible the bullies were targeting people that wanted to go to these seminars because the dads in question could have had violent tendencies they wanted to keep under control. So perhaps Sydney used to be like Wallaby but overcame it through training and help groups.
Here's a simpler reason for Numbuh 4 hates girly things: His parents keep trying to turn him into one, so he is desperate to hold onto his identity. You even mentioned that they sent him to an all-girls' school.
Fortunately Wallaby got his act together by the end of the series, got a lot smarter and married his childhood crush Kuki.
I think Numbuh 3 would be a very supporting wife and a calming force for Numbuh 4
And we know she is scarier than him when actually angry. that makes for a great parental structure. Don't want the nicer parent to be a complete pushover...
I always thought it was related to Number Four being short for his age, that added to his behavior/ insecurities.
A family of bowl cuts. Incredible.
I understand everything you've said and I actually feel really sorry for Wally aka Numbuh 4 and I think he deserves so much better. Wally does have a vulnerable caring side to him from the episode Operation S.A.F.E.T.Y. when he thought his little brother Joey got hurt and the former was crying over his wellbeing and I couldn't blame him for that.
But it turned out to be a prank on Joey's part since he used ketchup to trick him into thinking that he got hurt, but he didn't. Joey seemed perfectly fine somehow. Wally still has a heart underneath his tough and arrogant exterior.
U can tell number 4 and 3 are going to have some kind of unhealthy relationship from the start when they grown up as adults but u wouldn't see it
If you forgot in the movie number four was bullied and preschool and number one have a step in to save him I'm pretty sure that's how he's like this
To be honest at first I thought that he was aggressive because his parents were abusive and neglectful as all get out. So now it's really just his insecurities, impulsiveness, and well his parents not really handling his anger that well.
Good take on Numbuh 4. As much as all of these makes sense, I still really think a not that small piece of it is that he got it from his mom. And Joey in part probably did too. But Wally has a relatively good sense of when his antics are hurting his family.
This makes sense about Numbuh 3. Guys don't typically like to look weak in front of their (female) love interests. This is also a bit how like Helga was to Arnold. A genderbend of sorts. But Numbuh 3 and Arnold are very different from each other. Also, his mom's rage is VERY reminiscent of Numbuh 3's. That's probably a HUGE part of why he fell for her in the first place.
His parents neglect could explain his hatred for adults though.
Honestly as a grown up now. If someone now was to tell me I'm not the sharpest crayon in the crayon box I'd probably say "then im at least the most liked in the crayon box" cause usually the least sharp is the most used
Wallie also couldn't swim.
The man, the myth, the legend from Australia himself Wallabee Beatles
Numbuh Four is probably my favorite talking human character that Dee Bradley Baker has voiced
Wally’s voice is pretty cool and doesn’t get too high pitched like most of Baker’s other characters
the only thing i wanna personally throw out there is numbuh 4 defeating chad (numbuh 274) isnt much of an accomplishment to show how great he is because in operation treaty its explained that chad is a member of the TND. and that he was intentionally throwing all his matches against sector V to ensure victory for the KND, but putting up enough of a fight that he wouldnt raise any suspicion from the other teen ninjas.
Forgot how he becsme the worlds general in president episode and his negative ego -4 was leader of negative world in pool where he couldnt swim. His hot headedness beat all the villains in movie ticket where he went see adult rated movie.
he did have a good relationship with Joey at least, the little guy looked up to him evidence of his dodgeball skills and Wally would burst into tears the minute he got hurt. which is a refreshing change of pace compared to Sector V's relationship with their siblings. (yes Abby and her sister made up but they're still enemies)
This was made all the way back when Australians were often portrayed as gritty tough guys. I myself and this show are really old, it would seem.
Numbuh 4 is a Dragon Ball fan and makes him my fave lol 😂
I'm surprised you didn't reference the homework episode when bandits stole everyone's homework for the delightful children only to be reprimanded by the teacher since the first homework "they" did was Numbuh 4 hot mess at spelling 😂😂😂
There were times when Number 4 was incredible. Like the time those safety bots attacked and he made amends with his brother and showed true brotherly love. When the wear dogs struck number 5 down number 4 was freaked out to go in but determine to save his homework and number 5 who desperately needed help. And especially when Number 4 took place in the bully fighting he they made him go against his own father in a caffeine state and understood what he was doing was very wrong. Not only did he save his dad, the other dads, and the rest of his team, but he learned how important his father is to him. Even in the video game when Count Spankulot turned everyone into vampires again number 4 saved the day that time.
He wasn't that violent. He was pretty normal for a boy in that time period. Modern times say he's too violent
It's the "Five 'Man' Band" trope. Numbuh 4 is the Lancer of the group and is Numbuh One's foil as he always acts first before thinking.
I feel like if they ever did a future or epilogue series of KND, I think it would make for a nice plot point to address Walley's insecurities.
I think it’s mostly insecurity, but the boarding school thing also leads into a little bit of the insecurity. His parents don’t know how to help him with his aggressiveness and his insecurities, so they ship him off to boarding schools which probably increases the insecurity even if it’s just by a little bit every time.
It was likely his lashing out and impulsive behavior could be a combination of his insecurities and how his parents never seem to talk things out with him. Since Numbuh 4 is pretty much an idiot, as seen throughout the series run, and so he puts on the facade of how he’s a “tough guy” and “the best at (insert here)” to hide his shortcomings. And him escaping from boarding school(s) every time he acts out, showcases his parents would rather just have someone else in “fixing” his behavior than put in the effort to helping their son. Plus helps his reputation as the “toughest kid around” by escaping from so many boarding schools he gets sent to.
Honestly, it could be something more odd. Wally is from Australia. Australians were depicted as tough manly men , and not having a true understanding of how Australians normally at, he may have thought men like Crocodile Dundy or Steve Irwin who dealt with dangerous animals was how he should act.

Okay, I could swear that it was mentioned multiple times that Numbuh 5 was the best hand to hand fighter in the KND, the only person who was ever better than her, was her older sister who taught her to fight.
I think Numbuh 4 is actually the hand to hand combat specialist if I’m not mistaken
Idk why but numbuh 4 was always my favorite.
I'd say Numbuh 86 is more aggressive than him.
plus lets be honest he was over looked a lot as a kid i was over looked and Ill admit I acted out because of it and numbah 4s parents did lash out but when youre a parent youll never admit you were wrong.
I always thought it was some sort of stereotype thing but I'm glad it's not. He's actually a misunderstood character and so is his gf, Numbah 3
I am only 20 & remember this show & it brings back memories.
I would say it, both, because of his father not stepping up to the plate and teaching his son on how to control his aggression, So number four was too afraid to ask his father what it is to be a man and thought the stereotype method would be best
I'm pretty sure numbuh 4 was just supposed to be the dumb strong guy stereotype who broke down doors instead of using a key and his parents were designed to make him look like the odd one out for comedic purposes. All the kids next door are based off of popular archetypes with a twist.
Dude, as a kid who didn't have stable TV affordability when young and only got to watch episodes as they aired- this gives me so much more appreciation and understanding for Numbah 4
Love your KND Theories! Do the entire Sector V!
I can´t wait for Numbuh 5!

Video: "the first thing you might think to look at when wondering where Wallaby got his agressive attitude from is...."
My brain: "The fact that he's short"
Video: "... the kid's parents"
My childhood hero and comfort character.
2:08 bro they were warning us of the future
This was such a good show ahhh! My favorites were always 3 and 4 so both separately and as a couple. Too cute.
He just wanted to eat a cookie 🧐
Every ladies dream want a guy rough and crazy on bed. As well bit bossy, not too bossy due toxicity.
Yeah. Number 4 needs number 3, their mood swings are different.
why does no one mention that if you say "KND" fast enough it sounds like candy
i think it's because it's common knowledge to anyone who at least cared enough to watch this show, so there's no need to reinvent the wheel here
Honestly, it’s really interesting to say this, but honestly, it just feels like a normal reaction from the character especially as realistically as a kid even for numbuh 4 wallie. As a perspective, wise realistically.
Finally someone gets it
This was a really good video, only thing is the music panned to one ear kinda got repetitive vs it being in both ears, other than that solid analysis, great choice of clips!
very good and all but WHY IS THE MUSIC ONLY ON MY LEFT EAR?!
Another thing to note is that when Wally’s ferocity was taken from him in the caramel episode, he was shown wearing a light PINK hoodie. This means if he wasn’t bullied or insecure or lowkey abused, he might’ve been more comfortable with “girly” things.
Poor Wally :(
I always saw Number 4 to be Kenny’s Mcormicks Australian Brother when I was a little kid. Guessing it was the colors of hair and the orange jacket. I drew him with Kenny as a kid. I do not regret my silly kid actions.
All I’ll say is I am so relieved to hear you pronounce it as Sector “Vee” instead of Sector five. I swear every video I watch about knd the person says Sector five or something else
It's because Numbah 3 owed him a quarter.
To ne fair he is forced ti Polishe his father's bowling trophies and there huge so i think his anger is justified
I think there was a comic that showed the origin of number 4 in how he became KND he use to be pretty much a real chipper kids until meeting some bully's and an I think they push him to far that his fist did the talking
If I remember correctly, Numbuh 4 doesn't look up to his dad and finds his job to be boring and is scared of becoming that. So he overcompensates by becoming something he doesn't understand
Also in his character bio, back in day it stated Numbuh 1 recruited him to toughen him up due to him being bullied at school when moved from Australia.
I also think part of it is just that's who he is. Some kids just play rough, boy or girl. I imagine the Beetles may have all been kids that could've played rough and just calmed down once they got older and playing became less important. So, I'm not worried about, say, Joey being violent. The only thing that concerns me is the boarding school stuff, but that rarely seems to come up.
Dude really said "I'm gonna play music in just your left ear this whole time"
I always thought they sent him to boarding school after everything else they did failed that to reach him. Also maybe his mom and dad as kids were like him as Number 4 as an adult seems more chill. So to them sending a kid who is out of control like him to a place were you hope he learns to fly right before its to late.
Number 4 is hard headed we see it all the time. He does what he wants to do and goes were he wants to go. In the EP his mom got mad she only got mad after he kept on playing ball in the house after she said no and breaking the vase.
Number 4 is old enough to understand being told no, but he still acts on his wants.
I think it is his insecurity that due being sent to boarding schools
I always thought Wallabe was the toughest just due to the fact he is australian and he grew up fighting deadly creatures practically since he was a baby.
I'm sorry, but I have to point it out, the audio has music only on the left ear, the talking is just fine its the music that messed up, but still great video!
Ngl I liked #4 cause he just seems the most masculine in the group
I always kind of figured that 4 felt like he wasn't getting enough attention from his parents as it was, and then his little brother came home, so he was then getting even less attention, so he began to act out to get attention. As this continued to fail, being a child and not knowing how to express or possibly even understand his own emotions, he just continued to turn up the aggression. When we saw him interact with his dad, his dad didn't seem to know him all that well but was genuinely trying as best as his dad could. So when he really began acting out which resulted in him getting sent to boarding schools, his parents did that because they felt like they were already in over their heads and didn't know what else to do, possibly not having time to properly or healthily deal with their child. Does it make it right? No, I'm not saying that. His parents likely just lacked the experience of what to do with a kid that's acting out so violently and just missed the signs along the way.
poor 4
Did you know that the toilet or is it actually his uncle
7:40 So he's basically being numbuh 3's abusive boyfriend?
It is also hinted at that he looked more androgynous. So he got mistaken for a girl. That is part of the reason that the boarding school episode, and being forced into a tea party irritated him. And his parents had wanted a daughter so they always tried pushing him toward girly things.
It’s his parents because instead asking him why he does all of this are helping him they spend him away and in fact when kids sometimes act like this is because they want their parents attention or love
I miss code name kids next door 😢
Numbah 4 is supposed to be Sector V’s combat specialist
Credit to him though, he genuinely deserved his reputation as the bravest member, as was proven in the parallel universe where Numbuh 4 was running KND and really smart, but also a coward
Numbuh 4 definitely had his impressive moments in the series if he used both brains and brawn when dealing with certain scenarios in the series he could of been second in command of the team instead of Numbuh 5
But sadly, his intelligence came late, probably after he turns 13 years old, as he mentions that he graduated medical school from Harvard with honours, though there is a possibility he could be a secret young adult operative for the KND and was not totally decommissioned.
It stated by Maurice and later Chad that there are teens and young adults who are secretly working for the KND so that they can infiltrate any teen ninja hideout and evil adult groups
Isn't dodgeball what happens when you mix both MMA and Basketball?
I'd like to see a video about Numbuh 363
He just doesn't know he's metal yet.
Don’t forget, baby brother Joey
wow this predicted the future so clearly...
