An acidic rain cloud blankets Townsville and melts all of the buildings, cars, and clothing items in range.
Synopsis[]
The citizens of Townsville panic over the appearance of black clouds over Townsville, but those clouds are yet rain clouds. The rain itself, however, is a problem, as it causes cities, objects, and clothing to erode into mush. The Professor explains to the Girls that this is because of tiny robots in the rain called Nanobots which steal carbon from the environment. To make matters worse, the nanobots are eating everyone's clothes! After a failed attempt to stop the nanobots, the Girls use one of the Professor's inventions - the Micro-Stabilizer - to shrink down to the nanobots' size.
As the Girls take on the nanobots, the Professor attempts to direct the townspeople away from flattening them. The nanobots step up on their resistance, focusing their attacks on the girls and combining into a 6-inch tall Monobot. Though it overwhelms the Girls, the Professor is able to squash it flat, ending the invasion. The girls are credited for saving the day even though it was the Professor that squished the monobot.
During the "Day is Saved" outro, thePowerpuffGirls (along with the 'The End' sign) are still tiny, and the narrator speaks in a high-pitched voice to match.
This is the second and last time in the classic series the Girls have been naked onscreen, the first time being in "Down n' Dirty".
This is the last episode to air before the release of The Powerpuff Girls Movie. It aired 11 days before the film was released.
The Girls are not seen naked again until the 2016 reboot's episode "Princess Buttercup", However, it was only Blossom and Bubbles in that episode.
The Powerpuff Girls were watching "The Pretty Puff Ponies" the show Dee Dee and her friends like from Dexter's Lab. This is another example of The Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Laboratory having the same universe.
It's unknown how the Powerpuff Girls got big again. It's likely that the effects of the Micro-Stabilizer were temporary and that they got big again after a few hours.
This episode aired on Channel 5 (UK) before it aired on Kids' WB!.
Since this episode first aired on a Saturday, it debuted on Kids' WB! instead of premiering normally on Cartoon Network.
It's never explained where the nanobots came from.
This is the episode where the narrator has the longest opening speech.
The girls are shown fighting much less nanobots than there should be, considering the amount of rain drops and the rate of the nanobots' multiplication.
At a certain point during the Narrator's opening speech, there is a man holding a sign reading "dark days ahead". When the dark clouds are formed above Townsville, the man is shown again, this time with a sign saying "told you so".
While the Powerpuff Girls needed a machine to get small in this episode, in "Nuthin' Special" it's revealed that they can do that by themselves as well. They may have discovered this power later though, or only be able to use it when they don't use their other powers while being shrunk.
While watching the shrunken girls fight the nanobots, The Professor halts emergency vehicles such as a police car, an ambulance, and a fire engine. In reality, stopping emergency vehicles is considered illegal.
Even though the narrator said that the girls saved the day in the ending, it would've been logical to say that the Professor also saved the day as well since he shrunk the girls and stepped on the gigabot.
It's unknown where the Professor got his Magnivison Helmet.
This episode shows the Narrator crying for a second time after "Twisted Sister".
