He'd only need to use his index finger and his thumb...but his hands cover the girls' entire bodies pretty much.

Doesn't Manboy sorta fulfill the Rowdyruff Boys' role now? I mean, he's basically a masculine-spewing jerkwad and that's....pretty much what the RRB were in the original. It's almost redundant to bring them back now.

But then who would fill in the role of being the girls' equals/fanship?

I thought so before I actually saw his episodes. His actual gimmick is surprisingly different.

Yeah, his thing is being "manly", theirs is being the stereotypical girl-hating little boys.
To compare them to other characters, think of the Rowdyruffs as exaggerated Peter Pans, while Man-Boy is more like Gaston.
In terms of the kind of threats they pose, also, the Rowdyruffs are the Psycho Rangers - able to fight the girls on even terms - while Manboy's thing seems be armies of lots and lots of henchmen (which surprisingly none of the Powerpuff Girls' enemies are really known for).

PPG fight giant monsters instead of mook armies to exaggerate the difference in size between the combatants.
- Tied up with super strong webbing from a female spider? No problem.
- Loosely wrapped by tentacles from a tree with a masculine voice? Powerless girls.
So looking on the Powerpuff Girls Wiki, it says the Rowdyruff Boys are set to appear in the season finale.
How long is the season? 26 episodes?

The Porcine Girls finally show an innovative use for their new power. I'm moving the needle to guardedly optimistic for the crossover show.

No offense, but isn't it easier to just check then ask? I question because I see people all the time saying "How much episodes has this" or "when is next episode of that" when any reliable answers are always on Wikipedia.
Anyway, 40 episodes.

Yes, it is easier to search for yourself, but schedules seem to change every so often.

It's not like we can just ask the crew what the season will be like.
"We be we baby!"
The Powerpuff Girls Wiki has an opinion poll about this. The results are fairly negative but not nearly as negative as I would have thought.
Look wise guy, I am aware that Wiki can be wrong about things. But when it comes to episode airings or number of episodes, it's usually right, because if some official source says something "next episode of Steven Universe will air 4th October" then loyal fans will immediately post that info complete with link. And if there is no official info, then Wikipedia is no worse source then any other "Don't quote me on thin but I know a guy who said he heard on some page that some source that is now deleted which may or may not have been leak claims that there will be 20 episodes of Wonder Over Yonder" or whatever.

Awesome...my dreams for other people's dreams to not come true came true.
This show didn't get cancelled.

Let's be honest, CN is too much in budget trouble to can this show.

"We be we baby!"
Um, "budget trouble"?
What do you mean? I wasn't aware of CN having any financial issues.
In any case, let's see if this is a sign that the show will get that massive Retool we discussed some pages ago.
I'm happy about this too. This show is decent - not amazing, but decent (seems to be the lot for any Powerpuff production past the first one), and certainly not bad - and decent is good. Especially when the alternative tends to be one or two amazing shows and a whole network full of crap.

When is the first season over, anyway?
I'm with Napoleon, I don't see them making some sort of new origin for the Rowdy Ruff Boys since this doesn't seem to be a new universe with the PPG.
