9->''The battle between heroes and villains rages on. Using their ultra super powers, '''Blossom''', '''Bubbles''', and '''Buttercup''' have continued to dedicate their lives to fighting crime, and the forces of evil!''

11In 2002, a fanartist named Vinson Ngo, a.k.a Creator/{{Bleedman}}, somehow got it into his head to draw a {{manga}}-styled [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover/FanWorks Mega Crossover]] with every popular cartoon he could think of, recent and past, and blend them all together for a {{Fan Webcomic|s}} centered on the three superhero tykes known as ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''.
12
13The result was ''[[https://www.snafu-comics.com/swmseries/powerpuffgirls Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi]]'' (a.k.a. ''Powerpuff Girls D'' or ''PPGD'') which combines the universes of Creator/CartoonNetwork and Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} as well as a few other outside sources and original material, and places them in a town called Megaville, a neighboring city of Townsville in this universe, where malevolent forces are poised to attack.
14
15Be warned, though -- [[BloodierAndGorier blood, death]], and [[HotterAndSexier sexual themes]] are [[DarkerAndEdgier heavily featured]], placing the characters in situations in which one wouldn't normally see them. The story itself is something of a RoundRobin, heavily based on fan-input.
16
17Started in January 2004, the webcomic gained a ''massive'' following on [[http://bleedman.deviantart.com/gallery/#Powerpuff-girls-D DeviantArt]] [[http://bleedman.deviantart.com (see Ngo's profile page)]] and won 2005's Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards for Outstanding Character Art and Outstanding Superhero Comic. Around 2007, Ngo moved the comic from DA to [[http://snafu-comics.com Snafu-Comics.]] Updates have been sporadic but recently pretty steady due to Ngo also working on the crossover fancomic ''Webcomic/GrimTalesFromDownBelow'' and his original series ''Webcomic/SugarBits''. He also said to have took on another Snafu member's project, ''Invader Zim: Manifest Doom'', though he has yet to work on it. He's a busy man.
18
19----
20!!This webcomic provides examples of:
21
22* ActionGirl: The Powerpuff Girls, Bell, Samantha.
23* AdaptedOut:
24** Despite the presence of Jack-Bots, their creator, Jack Spicer himself is nowhere to be seen (alongside the main cast of ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown''). As a result, the Jack-Bots were created by Dexter's nemesis, Mandark, instead.
25** TOM from ''Toonami'' (part of Cartoon Network) is completely absent here.
26** The titular ''WesternAnimation/{{Robotboy}}'', alongside its major cast, are completely absent. Despite this, his EvilCounterpart, Protoboy is present, being part of the Cluster Empire.
27* AfterActionPatchup: Well, In-the-middle-of-action patchup, and demostrates that [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/blood-ties those two]] [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/heading-to-trauma are caring sisters]] [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther despite the differences]].
28* {{Animesque}}: The character designs invoke this.
29* AnyoneCanDie: So far [[spoiler:[=Dee Dee=], Mandark, Sparky, and Samantha]] have kicked the bucket. [[spoiler:Blossom]] nearly does, but is brought back to life at the last minute.
30* ApocalypseHow: [[spoiler:Planetary Class 1 as revealed in Chapter 13]].
31* AprilFoolsDay: A tradition since 2011.
32** The first involved a nod to the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic fandom (see ForcedTransformation below).
33** In 2012, he posted a comic featuring fan drawn PPGD characters.
34** For 2013, he did an ArtShift to that of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''.
35** 2014 featured a ShoutOut to the anime ''Anime/PowerpuffGirlsZ''.
36** 2015 was skipped, but 2016 was a shout-out to ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim''.
37** 2017 had WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty invade the comic during one of Bell's flashbacks.
38** 2018 featured this comic's version of [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016 Bliss]].
39** 2019 had the comic getting hit with a Cease and Desist after [[Franchise/DuckTales a few]] [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls too]] [[WesternAnimation/StarVSTheForcesOfEvil many]] ''Creator/{{Disney}}'' [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb cameos.]]
40* ArtEvolution: Bleed's style has changed a bit since he started the comic, even more so after his prolonged hiatus. Just compare the [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/ppg-chapter-1 very first]] page to the [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/a-decade-in-the-making 10th year anniversary]] page (where the titular girl's eyes now has their signature eye-designs).
41* ArtifactTitle: The Powerpuff Girls in the title. While the girls do make contribution throughout the series and are still the main characters, most of the plot centers around Dexter and other cartoon characters. Not even any of the girls' classic rogues make any appearance other than Mojo. And the first story arc's bad guy was [[spoiler:Mandark]].
42* ArtShift: Used [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/truth-be-told here]] to illustrate two [[RashomonStyle very conflicting flashbacks]]. It's likely neither of them is true.
43* BadassLongcoat: Dexter's lab coat sometimes doubles as this.
44* BadassNormal: Jack seems to be the only hero in the series without superpowers or technology.
45%% * BeachEpisode
46* BerserkButton:
47** For Bell, it's losing anyone close to her. And don't even think about trying to lay a hand on GIR or she ''will'' end you.
48** Samantha doesn't take losing a tooth very well.
49** The Professor still flips out when it comes to parent-teacher conferences.
50* BigBad: Dr. X, [[WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot Vexus]] (although she is only seen for a short while, she could be considered a BigBad because the Darkstar Council is made up of Cluster robots), and Mandark before he was revealed to be TheDragon for Dr. X.
51* BigCreepyCrawlies: A number of the Cluster robots, specifically the majority of the {{Mooks}} who attack the science fair.
52* BigDamnHeroes:
53** Jack, Courage, Dexter, and the Powerpuff Girls at various points.
54** [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Monkey]] [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/prime-time pulled it off as well.]]
55* BishieSparkle: [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/sir-mr-ph-d-esquire-the-nth-san Naga.]]
56* BlobMonster: An all too familiar one for fans of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory''.
57* {{Bowdlerise}}: A scene in the comic originally flashed back to Nano of the North (the episode where the [=PPGs=] have a brief naked scene). Due to complaints from Snafu, this was changed to a flashback to Sun Scream.
58* BreakTheCutie: ''' ''Dexter.'' ''' Fortunately, he gets better.
59* ButtMonkey: Dib, as usual for him.
60* TheCameo: Plenty, the fun is in trying to spot them
61** You can see Flapjack and ''Chowder'' in Jack's Kendo class.
62*** Both Sarah and Jimmy from ''Ed, Edd, n Eddy'' are there too.
63*** [[http://eng.tekkenpedia.com/wiki/Mokujin Mokujin]] from ''Tekken'' as well.
64** At the start, one can see [[WesternAnimation/MikeLuAndOg Mike and Og]] during the monster attack on Bubbles.
65** WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy are seen playing soccer with Buttercup.
66** [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents Tootie]] and [[WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo Susie]] are seen in the background, as well as acting as an exposition duo at one point.
67** Even [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt Panty and Stocking]] have [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/truth-be-told found their way]] into the comic.
68** [[WesternAnimation/EvilConCarne Major Dr. Ghastly]] and [[WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken I.M. Weasel]] show up at the science fair.
69** Literature/{{Haruhi|Suzumiya}}, bizarrely enough. She appears on the BigBad's [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/2010-a-cheese-odyssey computer screen,]] however, so it is hard to say whether or not she is fictional in this universe. Given that the focus is mostly on Creator/CartoonNetwork / {{Creator/Nicktoons}} shows, as well as the [[StoryBreakerPower story-breaking nature]] of Haruhi, it's unlikely she was intended to be more than a whimsical cameo.
70** An ox of a mock-commercial of ''WesternAnimation/SheepInTheBigCity'' can be seen [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/the-building-and-the-complex here.]]
71** You can see [[Manga/AstroBoy Dr. Ochanomizu]] and [[VideoGame/MegaMan Dr. Light]] [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/bellicose here]] in the second panel.
72** In the convention arc, [[WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot Sheldon]] and [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Tucker]] can be seen having a discussion about GIR before he escapes his box and runs off.
73** [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/lovely-toys Those minions of Vexus's]] look [[WesternAnimation/RobotBoy oddly]] [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated familiar]]... The vehicle on the far right is from the obscure ''WesternAnimation/JayceAndTheWheeledWarriors''.
74** A skull with WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo's hair is spotted, leading to much speculation that Johnny is dead in this universe. That or its just a one off joke.
75** Wow, didn't know ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' and Isabella ([[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/when-one-door-closes here]]) were considered scientists. [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/and-the-sky-is-filled-with-light Doofenshmirtz]] himself has made an appearance at the convention.
76** [[http://scientia1.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/einsteinrisa.jpg Einstein]] appears [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/offer-void-where-prohibited here]]. Third and fourth panels.
77* CatFight: Blossom's fight against Bell in chapters 4 & 5.
78** Buttercup's fight against Samantha as well as Bell during the events of the Science Fair in Chapter 10. Blossom also has a rematch against Bell as well as an opportunity to fight against Samantha.
79* ChekhovsGun: Megas first appears in the background when Blossom sneaks into Dexter's Lab.
80* {{Cliffhanger}}:
81** The first arc of the comic ends with [[spoiler:Mandark's sister, Lala Vava, suddenly appearing and finding his glasses in the ruins of his recently destroyed base]].
82** Chapter 9 concludes with [[spoiler:the temporal bomb successfully being detonated on the entire Earth]].
83* ComeWithMeIfYouWantToLive: "''[[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/ten-end Follow me]].''"
84* ContinuityNod:
85** A nod to actual ''PPG'' canon on the first page when Professor Utonium mentioned [[{{Deconstruction}} Citiesville]].
86** Bell is actually based on the white Powerpuff Girl seen in the pilot for the Powerpuff Girls, "Whoopass Stew" (at 0:15 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qsx0uF80n8U here]]).
87* CreatorCameo: See that orange-shirted, shorts-wearing guy on [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/the-building-and-the-complex/ this page?]] That's how Bleedman [[AuthorAvatar usually portrays himself]].
88* CrossoverShip: Dexter and Blossom, {{invoked|Trope}}.
89* CuteBruiser: The Powerpuff Girls, Bell, Samantha, the Rowdyruff Boys.
90* DamselOutOfDistress: Blossom in the first arc.
91* DarkerAndEdgier: While it has a fair share of comedy, this webcomic is much serious, and features at least two character deaths in the story. There is also blood which is not present in its source material.
92* DeadpanSnarker:
93** Mandy really loves to make quips, just like the show she originally came from.
94** And the [[TheMenInBlack Men in Black]] guy, even when he's nearly stepped on by a giant bug (he {{lampshade|Hanging}}s the irony there), and threatened by [[BloodKnight Samantha]].
95---> '''Samantha:''' For your friend, it'll be over quick. You however....\
96'''MIB:''' You say that, but I have the weirdest Deja Vu. (''Buttercup blasts Samantha'')\
97'''MIB:''' There it is.
98* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: In [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/war-for-the-mechanical-soul War For The Mechanical Soul,]] XJ-9 goes through some conversion therapy...
99* DramaticThunder: Every time Lala Vava's name is spoken. Lampshaded every time, too.
100* DrowningPit: Blossom gets thrown inside a stasis tube while restrained that fills with water inside to drown her. She narrowly managed to escape from this predicament.
101* TheDragon: Mandark and Bell could be considered this for Dr. X.
102* EarthIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse: [[spoiler:This actually turns out to be the ''objective'' of the temporal bombs the Darkstar Council set off in Chapter 9, isolating the Earth and its moon from any potential space-faring allies, as Martian Manhunter explains to Bubbles and the rest of the heroes, dumbed down via his "Marvin the Martian" guise:]]
103-->[[spoiler:'''"Marvin" Manhunter''': "...So the system is sheathed in - what I like to call - ''PHANTOM GRAVITY.'' No mass has been added, and yet so much naughty...mmm, perhaps ''chubby'' space between the Earth and the rest of the universe. Any visitor to this lovely little blue ball would have an ''arbitrarily'' large distance to travel! They could race toward it and ''never'' get there!"]]
104* {{Fangirl}}s: Tootie and Susie.
105* {{Fanservice}}:
106** Bell is essentially fanservice. Not ''[[MsFanservice Ms.]]'' [[MsFanservice Fanservice]], but pure fanservice itself. The fandom just loves her that much.
107** Subverted with one page of the comic. Initially it depicted the aftermath of the Nanobot attack from Nano of the North. This was objected to by Snafu, and was replaced with a version depicting a scene from Sun Scream.
108* FestivalEpisode: The Science Fair at the Center for the Arts in Megaville which was also a ceremony for [[WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot Doctor Wakeman]] for her technological achievements. In reality, the scientific symposium was a front for a meeting between scientists regarding the temporal bomb explosion on the Moon. However, the fair quickly gets crashed by Bell and the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Cluster bots]].
109* ForcedTransformation: [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/april-foals The girls were turned into]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic ponies]] as part of an AprilFoolsDay gag.
110* ForegoneConclusion: Chapter 9 ends with [[spoiler:the villains successfully detonating the Temporal Bomb]]. Chapter 10 explains [[spoiler:how it happened]].
111** [[spoiler:Subverted [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/a-certain-scientific-readout in Chapter 11.]]]]
112* {{Foreshadowing}}: Toward the end of Chapter 2, Mojo Jojo is surprised to learn that Dr. X thinks the ''Powerpuff Girls'' are a bigger threat to his plans than the ComicBook/JusticeLeague, ComicBook/TeenTitans, or Franchise/MenInBlack. Seven chapters later, Dr. X is [[spoiler:proven correct in terms of the MIB's threat level]]. By the conclusion of Chapter 13, we're introduced to [[spoiler:Superman]] and the events of Chapter 14 reveals [[spoiler:the Justice League and how the temporal bomb has weakened Superman's ability due to the Earth and Moon being ghosted from the Solar System which includes the Sun, a primary power source for Superman]].
113-->[[spoiler:'''Martian Manhunter''': Kal-El, your best might not be possible. This explosion is stretching spacetime. Yellow solar energy is already getting to you more slowly.]]
114* FunnyBackgroundEvent:
115** While Bubbles is learning about Olga from Mandy, Billy and Ed are making a hill to sled down using Ed as surfing board... what did they make it out of? Chunkies.
116** While Dexter is having a private conversation with Blossom about [[spoiler:Brick visiting him at his house]], Buttercup, Bubbles, and Jenny get involved in a bunch of shenanigans playing around Dexter's lab.
117* GratuitousJapanese: The name.
118* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: How Monkey kills [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/too-late Battus]].
119* HamToHamCombat: In one of Bell's flashbacks, Mojo Jojo and Zim are arguing. Need I say more?
120* HistoryRepeats: A common RunningGag in ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' is the basic premise of Dexter in his lab minding his own business before Dee Dee interrupts his peace and begins messing around with his inventions and finding inopportune times to disturb him. Come [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/defeat-love-and-robot 'Defeat, Love, and Robot']] in Chapter 15 and Bubbles proceeds to do the exact same thing, which includes wearing the same [[https://i.imgur.com/1tu5gcK.jpg Hydroplasmatic Inflation Suit Dee Dee wore]]. To Blossom's surprise, Dexter nonchalantly allows it.
121-->'''Blossom''': Okay, wait a second, what? You '''HATE''' people playing around in your lab.
122* IdenticalStranger: She's certainly no stranger to Dexter, but Bubbles' ballet expertise and destruction of machines definitely remind the boy genius of [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/encore a certain "stupid" sister]].
123** Samurai Jack and Professor Utonium apparently look a lot alike. At least enough to give Buttercup some daddy issues.
124* LastKiss: [[spoiler:With [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/the-tiger-above-the-cliff-below Olga and Dexter]] of all things.]] Or a least they thought at the time.
125* LightIsNotGood: Bell, who has long white hair and dresses in white, is nonetheless a villain.
126* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Dee Dee]] to [[spoiler:Mandark]].
127* LuminescentBlush: Buttercup encounters Jack? Blossom and Dexter happen to be in a compromising position? Check.
128* MechaMooks:
129** The [[WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown Jackbots]].
130** The Cluster bots not part of the QuirkyMinibossSquad.
131* MegaCrossover: The webcomic in general.
132* MemoryPalace: In Chapter 12, [[spoiler:Grim and Dee Dee sift through Samantha's memories, in the shape of large marbles, to find a connection regarding Dr. Xander, what he's become, and how that will affect the world moving forward. This session also served as a JudgementOfTheDead from Dee Dee to justify Samanatha's actions and prove her innocence to the angels back in Heaven.]]
133* TheMenInBlack: ''The'' Film/MenInBlack [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/big-noisy-beetle apparently have a base under the performing arts center]].
134* MilestoneCelebration: [[http://www.deviantart.com/art/PPGD-10th-anniversary-430022239 This comic]] which celebrates their tenth year running.
135* MoodWhiplash: Constantly.
136* MythologyGag: Many, which is not surprising given the original source materials.
137** An entire page which pays tribute to Dexter and Deedee's oddball relationship.
138** Likewise, Mandark's past and how he came to be evil.
139** Dexter's Glob Monster incident repeating itself.
140** At one point, [[WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog Courage]], after barking like a normal dog, finally thought/uttered [[CatchPhrase "The things I do for love!"]] when alone.
141** There's [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/toothless-smile this.]] Remember that ''PPG'' episode where Buttercup learned about the tooth fairy and started harvesting teeth from villains?
142** "Why is the security Question 'Cheese Omelet in French'?" "It's all I could say!" (Dexter's attempt to learn French left him only able to say "omelette du fromage" in one of the classic episodes of the series.)
143** There's a scene depicting several PPG episodes, inlcuding the Dynamo, Moral Decay, The Mane Event, Down and Dirty, Bubble Vision, and Sun Scream (although that last one was originally Nano of the North...)
144** [[spoiler:Samantha trying to use Jack's sword to kill Blossom. It doesn't work because the sword doesn't harm righteous and innocent people, which we learned when Aku tried it on Jack himself in ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'']].
145** Bubbles rummaging through Dexter's lab and messing with his inventions is very reminiscent of another pigtailed, blonde haired, blue eyed, cheerful, button-pressing person that Dexter intimately knows who has done the same thing. This once again pushes Bubbles IdenticalStranger status with Dee Dee even further.
146* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/relief-and-duty Buttercup delivered one to Samantha]] [[spoiler:after seeing her slicing Blossom's throat.]]
147* NotAsYouKnowThem: Chapter 12 [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/a-heart-to-heart-breaking-news shows and explains]] how [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/{{Medabots}} Samantha]]]] joined the Darkstar Council and what caused her descent into villainy.
148* OfficialCouple: Dexter/Blossom
149* OhCrap: [[spoiler:In a flashback, [[WesternANimation/RickAndMorty Morty]] has one when he realizes that Bell might free herself from the ice. Rick, meanwhile, [[SeenItAll takes it in stride.]]]]
150* OpenSaysMe: Blossom and Dexter are investigating a secret vault for possible breach, when Dexter notices [[OhCrap he's lost all access to the vault door's electronic controls]]. He starts panicking, until Blossom tells him to calm down and kicks the door open.
151* OverlyLongName: What Naga has. I swear he's an [[TabletopGame/{{Exalted}} Abyssal Exalt]] of some type.
152* PowerCreepPowerSeep: Most noticeable with the girls themselves, as they tend to be the ones being saved rather than the ones doing the saving. Any fights they are involved in almost always require some form of assistance to win.
153** Martian Manhunter justifies this [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/warp-of-the-worlds in Chapter 14,]] in Superman's case at least, by explaining that the temporal bombs have "stretched out spacetime", displacing the Earth further from the Sun, thus yellow sun rays taking longer to reach Superman and properly recharge his solar batteries.
154* PuppyLove: {{Invoked|Trope}}, Blossom x Dexter being the most obvious.
155* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/going-fast-forward When the bomb goes off, the Cluster bots get the hell out of there.]]
156%%* SheFu: Bubbles [[http://snafu-comics.com/swmcomic/encore/ here]].
157* ShipTease: Aside from all the more obvious {{Toy Ship}}s, a single panel hints that [[http://bleedman.deviantart.com/art/ppg-chapter3-p5-6-9186082 the resurrected Boomer may have a crush on Bubbles]] based on his memory of the kiss that blew his first incarnation up.
158** It also appears a growing relationship is brewing [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/but-oh-honey-do between Samurai Jack and Agent Honeydew]] to the chagrin of both Buttercup and Monkey. By Chapter 13, [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/courage-and-jealousy-before-science they're seen flirting together]] during [[spoiler:the meeting regarding the temporal bomb on Earth in Dexter's secret lab underneath the school]].
159* ShoutOut:
160** [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/powers Specifically]], Blossom's [[Manga/DragonBall Kamehameha]], Bubbles' [[Franchise/StreetFighter Sonic Boom]], and Buttercup's [[VideoGame/FatalFury Power Wave]]. Dexter countered those moves with Geese's Raging Storm!
161** [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/gir-bangs this.]] The date on the comic is 2004, which was the same year that William Hung became famous for butchering that song on ''Series/AmericanIdol''.
162** The ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jollibee Jollibee]]'' [[http://bleedman.deviantart.com/art/ppg-5-p13-14-15114018?moodonly=69 Medabot.]]
163** [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/blondecup This]] DBZ gag.
164** There's a one-frame Franchise/SailorMoon cosplay for Bubbles.
165** "Why can't you take it all off and make me [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Fullmetal?]]" Also Dexters [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/heavy-handed-words Pre-Ass kicking pose]]
166** [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/back-on-earth Smile]] [[Film/{{Jaws}} you son of a...]]
167** [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/epic-battle Here]] we've got Dexter and Mandark using the [[Anime/CombattlerV Chodenji Yoyo]] and [[Anime/VoltesV Chodenji Top]]. And if that weren't enough, [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/gasp Here's]] Coop using the [[Anime/VoltesV Tenkuu Ken]].
168** [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/2010-a-cheese-odyssey B7?]] Why, oh why does that look so [[Franchise/MassEffect familiar]]?
169** The BigBad is a fan of Haruhi. [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/2010-a-cheese-odyssey Or he could have hacked Bleedman's computer.]]
170** Jenny arrives on the scene in a costume similar to Franchise/BlackRockShooter.
171** “[[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/power-of-science If]] [[Literature/{{Frankenstein}} Victor Frankenstein]] can do it, so can I!”
172** [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/shifting-blame A solid]] [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Vibranium]] Shield.
173** Look closely in the first panel...[[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt Panty and Stocking]] [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/truth-be-told go to their school.]]
174** [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/prime-time "Well, that's just]] [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Prime!"]]
175** There is an action figure of the [[MediaNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/secret-lab Hulk]] in Dexter's Lab.
176** And here's another [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/self-destruct Hulk reference]].
177** [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/trapped Here]] we have a [[Franchise/StarWars lightsaber duel]] like in Phantom Menace.
178** [[WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown Jackbots]] are the robots that Mandark uses to attack Dexter's original laboratory.
179** Dexter mentions Jimmy Neutron (presumably) when he is "lost" in his subconscious.
180** [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/bellicose Round 2! Ready? Fight!]]
181** [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/sweet-spot One of the Mooks in this strip says]] [[VideoGame/StarCraft "Spawn more Overlords!"]]
182** [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/prolonging-the-inevitable This page]] shows Blossom analyzing a fight with Bell just like [[Film/SherlockHolmes2009 a certain British detective]].
183** [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/cinematic-battle This]] and [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/toying-with-me this]], and [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/epoch-eclipse-now this]]. Referencing ''Film/TheMatrix'' films.
184*** Almost all of [[WesternAnimation/InvaderZim GIR's]] lines are shout-outs to something or other.
185** On [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/programming-block this page]], Gir redirects Bell's blast with a disco ball. He calls the pattern "Disco Inferno".
186** The clothes the girls wear at the school [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/interdictum-utique here]] are the same casual outfits of the protagonists in [[Anime/PowerpuffGirlsZ another anime-inspired Powerpuff Girls series.]] They pull this off again at the [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/make-a-dex-check start of Chapter 15]].
187* StealthPun: [[https://www.snafu-comics.com/powerpuffgirls/not-so-beachy-keen Mandy's shirt]] At first you think it's because she is dark. Then you remember that she pretty much owns the Grim Reaper.
