History Recap / ThePowerpuffGirlsS1E13UhOhDynamo

* CollectiveDeathGlare: Everyone (even the girls) looks at the Professor angrily when the girls reveals that it was the Professor's idea for making then use Dynamo.

* InflatingBodyGag: The Giant Fishballoon sucks a large amount of air to inflate itself into a gigantic size. It also briefly inflates into an even bigger size to shoot the spikes from all over its body.

** Played straight in Townsville, where nearly every notable landmark is destroyed in the carnage created by Dynamo and the Fishballoon, including Town Hall and Mojo's Volcano Lair.

* PyrrhicVictory: The girls successfully defeat the Fishbaloon monster, but in the process pretty much destroyed all of Townsville.

* OhCrap: The Professor had this moment when everyone looks at him angrily for making the girls use Dynamo to defeat Fishballon

* AwesomeButImpractical: The Dynamo proves itself to be this. It's a HumongousMecha based on the Powerpuff Girls that's powerful enough to defeat the Giant Fishballoon when it proves too much for the Girls to handle, but it ends up causing just as much destruction to Townsville as the monster did, which leads to the mayor and the citizens to demand that the Girls never use it again.

* WhatTheHellHero: The reaction from the mayor and the citizens of Townsville towards the girls for using such a destructive machine. When the girls tell them the Professor forced them to use Dynamo, they turn their anger towards him.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: It kind of goes back and forth. The Professor may have had good intentions to keep the girls safe when he created the Dynamo, but he did get a little insistent when the girls were clearly able to handle things themselves. By the time he forced them to use it, not only was he sick of constantly being ignored, but they were clearly injured by the Giant Fishballoon and didn’t seem to stand a chance. However, this point may have been ultimately rendered moot when Townsville ends up destroyed even more than usual, basically because of him acting like an OverprotectiveDad and for making them do something against their will (even if it was for good intentions).

* MacrossMissileMassacre: One of Dynamo's attacks involves this.

* FunWithAcronyms: Dynamo is an acronym for ‘Dynamic Nanotechtronic Monobot’.

* {{Americasia}}: It is set in Little Tokyo Townsville, a district with a very strong Japanese influence and architecture. Despite the [[NonIndicativeName "Little" in their name, it is actually a large city]].

* DeathGlare: Everyone (even the girls) looks at the Professor angrily when the girls reveals that it was the Professor's idea for making then use Dynamo.

** Played straight in Townsville, where nearly every notable landmark is destroyed in the carnage created by Dynamo and the Fishballoon.
