Blossom³ is the fourth episode (and eighty-third episode overall) of Season 3 of the 2016 Powerpuff Girls series. It aired on Cartoon Network on May 20, 2018.

Synopsis

A new villainess called Duplikate is confronted by the girls, but her duplicating ray accidentally hits Blossom which creates two monochrome copies of her. They're much like her, but it's driving Buttercup insane. Bubbles and Buttercup split off to create their own crime-fighting duo while Blossom is also irked by her duplicates.

Characters

• Blossom
• Bubbles
• Buttercup
• Professor Utonium
• Duplikate (debut/only appearance)
• Chaz (cameo on billboard only)
• Infernus
• The Mayor of Townsville

Trivia

• Duplikate's name is a combination of "duplicate" and Kate.
• Blossom is the second Powerpuff Girl to have a double. But that being said she had two duplicates instead of one. The first is Bubbles in "The Trouble with Bubbles".
• Jake Goldman, one of the writers of the show confirmed that why Blossom rejected the offer for a free puppy was because she was allergic. This wasn't put into the final episode due to it being "too justified."
• Professor Utonium doesn't mind how many daughters he has as long as they are a prime number.
• Running gag: Blossom's doubles doing some "focus testing".
• Infernus finally gets destroyed in this episode.
  • He was supposed to get destroyed in Tooth or Consequences, but Blossom failed to destroy him because of her toothache.
