1998 series: The Heroes | Main Antagonists | Residents of Townsville | Minor Antagonists
Powerpuff Girls Z: PPGZ Characters
2016 series: 2016 Characters
The main trio:
- Adaptation Species Change: In the original series, the girls were artificial humans. Here, they're just regular human girls.
- Adaptational Curves: The girls infamously lack ears, noses, proper joints, and digits in the original cartoon. They have them all here, in addition to more developed bodies due to their Age Lift from kindergartners to eight graders.
- Adaptational Skimpiness: They wear white stockings under their dress in the original cartoon. In this anime their legs are exposed since they wear leotards with magically attached Minidress of Power (in the literal sense of the word).
- Adaptational Wimp: They can only use their powers once they transform, and even then it's limited. Compare to the original girls who always have access to their wide variety of powers.
- Age Lift: They are around 13 in this continuity, when they were five-year-olds in the source material. Considering the years between the original cartoon and the anime adaptation were released (1998 and 2006, respectively), the anime girls are actually what the age the original girls would be had they aged in real life.
- Balloon Belly: All three girls stomachs inflated in "The Way of the Noodle."
- Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Momoko/Blossom is the Redhead, Miyako/Bubbles is the Blonde, and Kaoru/Buttercup is the Brunette.
- Clark Kenting: Justified, as anyone wearing the clothes one of them gets during their Transformation Sequence will appear to be that girl implying that the clothes have some kind of disguising power. However, only six girls in the entire series wear that style of belt buckle...
- Clothes Make the Superman: Some of their powers come from their outfits. They become powerless when the RowdyRuff Boys steal their clothes resulting in the professor's amusing attempts to make them new super suits.
- Dub-Induced Plot Hole: The English Dub Name Change to their names from the original cartoon causes a huge Plot Hole since the girls have secret identities in this version and those names are instead their superhero Code Names. This made the Running Gag of them having to sneak off to transform and do heroics rather pointless.
- Early Installment Character-Design Difference: The girls' figure changes from the beginning. Towards the later episodes, the girls are portrayed with more curvaceous figures (as curvaceous as 13-14-year-old girls can get). In the early episodes, the girls are lean and slender. Perhaps this is meant to represent their developing pubescent bodies?
- Fighter, Mage, Thief: Momoko is the Thief, Miyako is the Mage, and Kaoru is the Fighter.
- Henshin Hero: The trio uses a henshin belt and its accompanied trinket to transformed into their superhero forms.
- Related in the Adaptation: Unlike the original, Mojo Jojo uses their DNA to create the Rowdyruff Boys.
- Town Girls: The energetic, boy-crazy Otaku Surrogate Momoko/Blossom is the Neither, the proper and fashionable Miyako/Bubbles is the Femme and the rough Passionate Sports Girl Kaoru/Buttercup is the Butch.
- Unrelated in the Adaptation: Unlike in the original American cartoon (where the girls are sisters), the three Powerpuff Girls aren't related to each other in any way and the three were normal girls from the start rather than being artificially created by Professor Utonium and adopted as his daughters.
The first member and self-proclaimed leader of the Powerpuff Girls Z squad. She is very familiar with the mahou shojo genre, along with some typical anime/Sentai concepts and is regarded as a "hero maniac" in school.
She transforms using the phrase "Hyper Blossom" and uses a yo-yo as a weapon.
- Action Fashionista: Not as much as Bubbles but she has shown awareness of fashion and trends, and it's in fact the things they bond over.
- Adaptational Comic Relief: Compared to the original Blossom's occasional stints of being The Comically Serious, Momoko's Genius Ditz, Love Freak, and Otaku natures are the frequent source of comedy.
- Adaptational Dumbass: The original Blossom is a smart, level-headed bookworm; here, she's extremely ditzy and not particularly academic.
- Adaptation Personality Change: Out of all members of the Powerpuff Girls Z, she's the one who least resembles her original counterpart. Her personality is retooled to be more along the lines of the archetypal magical girl and Stock Shoujo Heroine. She's considerably sillier, ditzier, as a result of said ditziness has her role as the group's leader severely downplayed, and instead of being academically oriented, her plethora of knowledge instead comes from all the mahou shoujo and super sentai shows that she watches.
- Ascended Fangirl: She was a huge fan of superheroes prior to becoming a Powerpuff Girl.
- Badass Adorable: Just like the original, but this time, she's even cuter and just about as tough.
- Berserk Button: Depriving her of sweets will cause her to become enraged.
- Big Damn Heroes: Momoko especially has this in episode 46, as she came to Miyako's and Kaoru's rescue multiple times, and singlehandedly recovered the PPGZ's weapons.
- Big Eater: She constantly eats sweets.
- Butt-Monkey: Bad things befall poor Momoko more than they seem to Miyako or Kaoru.
- Cute Bruiser: This is to be expected from a 13-year-old girl who is able to go toe-to-toe with all sorts of monsters.
- The Cutie: Unlike the original, she's notably more adorable, sweeter and ditzier.
- Dub Name Change: Averted. In the English adaptation, she is known as "Blossom" in both forms.
- Edible Theme Naming: She names her attacks after foods, usually sweets.
- Fiery Redhead: She has red hair and can be very unpredictable when she is angry
- Genius Ditz: Very ditzy and goofy, but she can come up with good plans at times and she's Genre Savvy about the Magical Girl genre.
- Genki Girl: Ironically, because the original Blossom was nothing like this.
- Genre Savvy: When she first meets Mojo Jojo, she figures out that he is a villain because of the dark aura surrounding him.
- Girliness Upgrade: While she has never been a tomboy, in this series she gets the typical girly traits of the Stock Shoujo Heroine, like being bubbly, ditzy, romantic, and boy-crazy, even if Blossom was never portrayed this way.
- Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak: Has a pink color motif, is very girly, and is a romantic, but is also a glutton who loves superheroes and comics.
- Jumped at the Call: She was very enthusiastic at the idea of using her new powers to fight crime.
- Killer Yo-Yo: Her weapon of choice.
- The Knights Who Say "Squee!": She was a huge fan of television hero Hiro/Johnny Cosmo.
- Leader Wannabe: She constantly wants to be acknowledged as the leader of the team, but nobody takes her seriously.
- Love Freak: Goes completely nutty whenever she learns that her friends might have a love interest.
- Otaku: She loves comic books and superheroes.
- Pink Heroine: She wears a pink dress, a pink belt, a pink waistcoat and pink-banded gloves in her Hyper Blossom form. Also, her eyes are pink, she wears a pink bow, and her name means "peach".
- Pink Means Feminine: She wears a pink dress and she's very girly and romantic.
- Red Is Heroic: She has red hair and is a heroine.
- Serial Romeo: She falls hard for every cute boy she sees.
- Stock Shoujo Heroine: Blossom received a heavy Adaptation Personality Change to make her one of these. Momoko's a well-meaning and sweet, but ditzy and overly romantic, middle schooler who loves sweets and the colour pink.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Looks like her mom.
- Sweet Tooth: She loves eating sweets.
- Technicolor Eyes: They're colored pink.
- Thinks Like a Romance Novel: She frequently thinks that she and every boy she falls in love with are meant to be.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Mr. Octopus Wiener (Octopus Sausage).
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She has a fear of insects.
The second member of the Powerpuff Girls Z team. Miyako/Bubbles is the ditziest member of the three, often appearing a bit clueless, and doesn't seem to understand her powers completely, along with a few other things. She is, however, more mature than the other girls in the team and will try to calm any situation, although she too can be angered when provoked. She is also very polite and always uses honorifics at the end of names. She is more concerned with shopping, her appearance and her outfits, and perhaps because of this, she seems to be very popular among her male classmates.
She transforms using the phrase "Rolling Bubbles" and uses a bubble wand as a weapon.
- Action Fashionista: She's always concerned with shopping, her appearance and her outfits, and she's still a formidable fighter.
- Adaptation Personality Change: The original Bubbles was the most childish of the girls, here she's the most mature.

- The Cutie: Like before, she comes off as this because she is more innocent and naive than the others.
- The Ditz: Despite her being more mature, she hasn't really lost this trait, an example is that it takes her a whole day to clean anything in her Big Fancy House halfway through!
- Dub Name Change: Averted. In the English adaptation, she is known as "Bubbles" in both forms.
- Dub Personality Change: In the original Japanese dub, she's portrayed as an Indifferent Beauty and is the most soft-spoken of the three. In the English dub, she's much more hammy and child-like, making her more in line with her American counterpart.
- Dude Magnet: She is said to be the most popular girl in school and her locker is always full of love letters and gifts.
- Dumb Blonde: Though she's not that completely idiotic, she is known to occasionally be very ditzy, just like the original.
- The Fashionista: She loves her clothes.
- Girlish Pigtails: She has pigtails like the original Bubbles, though hers are styled into Ojou Ringlets. However, while she can be ditzy, at the same time she's also the most mature of the three.

- "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: With Octi in "It's All Because of Him."
- Indifferent Beauty: Miyako is the most popular girl at her school and never stops receiving love confessions from boys, but she doesn't care about any of that and ignores all the attention she gets in favor of pining after her childhood crush.
- The Ingenue: She is innocent and pure, but still every bit as tough as Momoko and Kaoru.
- Innocent Blue Eyes: She has blue eyes and is the most innocent of the three.
- Magic Staff: She has one that creates bubbles of varying uses.

- Raised by Grandparents: She lives with her grandmother because her parents live elsewhere.
- Rescue Romance: She developed a crush on Takaaki after he defended her from a Gang of Bullies.
- Single-Target Sexuality: She ignores all the boys at her school and rejects the thousands of love confessions she gets from them because she's still pining after her childhood crush Takaaki, even though she only met him once.
- Single Woman Seeks Good Man: She developed a crush on Takaaki because he was the nicest and most sensitive boy she ever met. When she meets him again as a werewolf, she can recognize him because of his non-aggressive nature and how he goes out of his way to save children.
- Speaks Fluent Animal: She talks to animals.
- Squishy Wizard: She can create magic bubbles, but can still be vulnerable.
- Suddenly Fluent in Gibberish: She shocks her teammates when she starts talking to puppies while they're trailing Him.
- Swiss-Army Tears: In Episode 36, her tears are what bring the corrupted Octi back to normal and defeat Him.
- Town Girls: The Femme to Blossom's Neither and Buttercup's Butch.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Meatballs.
- True Blue Femininity: She wears blue and tends to be the most feminine of the team.
- Verbal Tic: "Desu wa" in the original dub. This only cements her status as a traditional Japanese girl.
- Water Is Womanly: Miyako is the most feminine girl on the team, being calm, mature, and sweet. She wears light blue clothes and fights using a bubble wand.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Is afraid of insects, like Momoko.
- Yamato Nadeshiko: Mature, calm, very polite and always uses honorifics at the end of names. Her Big Fancy Japanese House seals the deal.
The third and final member of the Powerpuff Girls Z team. Like the original Buttercup, she is a tomboy and is the most easily enraged of the three. She is known at school for being the most athletic girl as she plays tennis, practices martial arts, and numerous other activities, and spends a great deal of time watching sports on television.
She transforms using the phrase "Powered Buttercup" and uses a giant mallet as a weapon.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: While still Hot-Blooded as ever, this version lacks the original's mean streak.
- All Amazons Want Hercules: She likes muscular men according to Episode 44.
- Badass Adorable: She's more adorable than she is, but a lot tougher too.
- Berserk Button: Telling her that she looks good in a skirt often results in physical violence.
- The Berserker: The most violent of the trio.

- Blood Knight: She loves fighting.
- Boyish Short Hair: Her hair is the shortest of the three.
- Character Exaggeration: She's even more boyish than the original Buttercup.

- Dub Name Change: Averted. In the English adaptation, she is known as "Buttercup" in both forms.
- Empowered Badass Normal: She's already ridiculously athletic (especially for her age) prior to getting hit with the White Z-Ray. In fact she was hit while doing an improvised skateboard leap to shield the kid who was about to be hit with it.
- Even the Girls Want Her: She's very popular among the girls of her school.
- Eye Beams: In episode 49. Unlike the Classic girls, only she has this power, and they're green.
- Femininity Failure: She tries to become a girly girl to impress a guy in Episode 44, but fails and returns to her normal self at the end.
- Growling Gut: Shared with the main trio to numerous levels, but this happens to her again in "The Way of the Noodle".
- Hates Wearing Dresses: She initially refused to be a Magical Girl because it required her to wear a skirt.
- Hot-Blooded: She can get very angry.
- Humongous-Headed Hammer: Her weapon of choice is a giant hammer.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Just like the original, she can be very aggressive and somewhat rude, but she is still a decent person.
- The Lancer: She's the second-in-command.
- Lightning Bruiser: She is fast and strong.
- Odd Name Out: Her civilian name starts with a K rather than an M, although she still follows the B-pattern as a superhero.
- One of the Boys: She is even more of a tomboy than the original version. She is rarely seen wearing clothes that aren't knee length shorts, a baseball cap, and a sports shirt. The series makes it clear she loves sports, especially soccer, and is rougher and rowdier than the other two girls.
- Passionate Sports Girl: She is very fond of sports.
- Raised by Dudes: While she does have a mother, her father and brothers are clearly responsible for her Tomboy personality.
- Refusal of the Call: She is shown to be reluctant to join the group because it would require her to wear a skirt.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: She looks pretty stunning in "Buttercup's New Moves", minus the Tomboy tendencies.
- Shockwave Stomp: Megaton Dunk is the close-range variety, and Graviton Drive is the long-range variety.
- Shonen Hair: Her hair is spiky.
- Spin Attack: Hurricane Lutz
- Super-Strength: She has no problems carrying her hammer while the two other girls together can't even lift it.
- Tomboyish Baseball Cap: She often wears a baseball cap while in her civilian identity.
- Tomboyish Name: Kaoru is a Japanese name both boys and girls can have, which is fitting for a big tomboy like her.
- Tomboyish Voice: She has a lower voice than Miyako and Momoko. She is a tomboy who hates wearing skirts (though she's forced to wear one for her Magical Girl attire).
- Town Girls: The Butch to Blossom's Neither and Bubbles' Femme.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Eel and egg.
- Truer to the Text: Of the three protagonists, she's the one who matches her original counterpart's personality and temperament (if anything, it's exaggerated here).
- Unwillingly Girly Tomboy: She normally dresses in boy's clothing and loves sports. But when it's time for work, she (like her 2 best friends) takes on a girly, sporty dress as a part of their Magical Girl gimmick, and she isn't very happy about it.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: The 30th episode, "What's With Him?", reveals that she is afraid of ghosts.
Supporting characters:
The responsible for all those affected by the Chemical Z lights, especially the Powerpuff Girls Z. Professor Utonium was originally experimenting with the substance Chemical X and strove to find a way to change its chemical properties. Professor Utonium has created several inventions throughout the series; the most important one being his Chemical Z Particle Ray, which allows him to transform those affected by the rays back to normal (although it doesn't prevent recurring transformations nor is it able to work on all black ray victims).
- Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: While he's not technically their dad, but he certainly acts this way towards them—for example, he goes absolutely crazy when he hears they have a crush on someone.
- Cloud Cuckoo Lander: The English dub of episodes where one of the girls has a love interest bowdlerizes his complaints about the girls falling in love so that he instead complains about irrelevant things when their crushes are brought up, such as being unable to get an invention to work or making a fuss about Blossom and his own son apparently forgetting his birthday even though his birthday isn't until next month. This censorship makes the Professor come off as this trope.
- Dub Name Change: Professor Drake Utonium in the English dub.
- The Mentor: He explains to the girls that they got their powers from Chemical Z and sometimes even instructs them to bring in a Chemical Z-created villain so that he can return them to normal.
- The Professor: He is a scientific genius.
- Team Dad: While none of the three girls are his daughters, he takes it upon to act as a fatherly figure to them and loves and cares about them as if they really were his daughters.
- Unrelated in the Adaptation: Unlike in the original American version, Professor Utonium's not related to the any of the three girls in any way (i.e., he never "created" them) due to them now starting out as ordinary human beings before gaining powers and he isn't even related to them. Mojo Jojo was also his pet pre-mutation, but here they're total strangers.
A young boy genius, the 8 year-old son of Professor Utonium who is somewhat responsible for turning regular girls into the Powerpuff Girls Z and numerous other characters into villains using Chemical Z. He used it to blast a glacier in order to set the weather back to normal, but the impact resulted in the explosion of several lights, which affected all those who came in contact with it.
- Adorably Precocious Child: He is 8 years old and often tries to act older than he really is.
- Alliterative Name: Ken Kitazawa.
- Canon Foreigner: Professor Utonium did not have a son in the original cartoon, the Powerpuff Girls being the only children he had.
- Child Prodigy: When his father isn't around, he tends to be the brains.
- Dub Name Change: Ken Utonium
- Strong Family Resemblance: He looks just like his dad.
- Tagalong Kid: Sometimes goes with the girls on missions.
Ken's pet robot dog. Poochi was also affected by a white Chemical Z ray, gaining the ability to talk, as well as a considerable boost in intelligence. Poochi's shout prompts the girls to transform either in person or through a long-distance communication device, although a modification to the girls' compacts allows them to transform on their own.
- Adaptation Species Change: The talking dog character in the original cartoon is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. This version is a Robot Dog due to also being the Powerpuff Hotline.
- Ascended Extra: The talking dog character in the original is a Recurring Extra. This version is part of the main cast.
- Balloon Belly: Episode 4
- Composite Character: He's an amalgam of Talking Dog (which he is, just robotic) and the Powerpuff Hotline (the machine who calls the girls to action, along with its color scheme).
- Dating Catwoman: In the second half of episode 27, he develops a crush on Princess's cat Sapphire.
- Dub Name Change: In the English dub, he becomes Poochi.
- Evil-Detecting Dog: As a result of being exposed to one of the white Chemical Z rays, he can see the dark auras of anyone who was exposed to the black Chemical Z rays.
- Named by the Adaptation: The talking dog character from the original cartoon is addressed as Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Here his name is Peach (or Poochi in most dubs).
- No Biological Sex: It isn't the case in the English dub, but the second half of the 27th episode has him state that digital dogs are neither male nor female, though he feels like a male because he fell in love with Sapphire.
- Robot Buddy: He and Ken get along well.
- Robot Dog: He is a robot dog.
- Team Member in the Adaptation: The talking dog character in the original is a Recurring Extra not directly involved in the Utoniums and the girls' crime fighting.
- Team Pet: While able to talk, he is pretty much still a pet.
- Unrelated in the Adaptation: One of the components Mojo Jojo uses to create he Rowdyruff Boys in the original cartoon is the talking dog's tail fur. In this version he uses the girls' DNA instead (since the talking dog here is robotic).
The mayor of Tokyo City (New Townsville in the English dub). He seems to worry quite a lot when the girls are fighting, and wishes that they could cause a little less damage.
- Adaptational Attractiveness: He's taller and still has his hair unlike the original Mayor.
- Adaptational Curves: He's much taller than the Mayor from the original cartoon, who was (in)famously short.
- Dub Name Change: Mr. Mayor
- Idiot Hair: He has a little strand of hair sticking up.
- Sibling Rivalry: Does not get along well with his brother the principal. In fact, there arguing once got so bad that their bickering over the phone gave power to the episode's Monster of the Week.
- Sweet Tooth: He enjoys caramel ice cream and also likes cake.
Mayor Mayer's assistant.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: This Miss Bellum's hair is blonde instead of red.
- Adaptational Skimpiness: Bellum was already Ms. Fanservice in the cartoon, but she wears more skimpy outfits in the anime.
- The Faceless: Just like her American counterpart, her face is never revealed.
- Ms. Fanservice: She is just as buxom as her American counterpart.
- Race Lift: She was dark skinned in the original cartoon, but is caucasian in the anime.
- Sexy Secretary: She is the mayor's assistant and has a voluptuous body.
- Statuesque Stunner: The tallest female and resident Ms. Fanservice like her American counterpart. This is more notable here since the Mayor received Adaptational Curves and she still towers over him.
The girls' teacher.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Her being a Hot Teacher fawned by her male students with some female students being jealous of her is played a lot during her introduction episode. Subsequent episodes show them behaving formally towards her.
- Hot Teacher: She's cute and her debut episode shows male students fanboying over her.
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: She has dark hair and pale skin and is still the resident Hot Teacher.
- Sensei-chan: Acts a bit more childish than her American counterpart.
Monsters:
The most frequently recurring villain in the series. He was an ordinary zoo monkey who was made fun of by people and decided to seek revenge on humanity after the ray from Chemical Z made him intelligent.
- Adaptation Personality Change: He's much more innefectually sympathetic compared to the original Mojo Jojo we all know and love, who is very dominant and competent.
- Adaptation Species Change: The original Mojo Jojo was a chimpanzee, this version is a macaque.
- Adaptational Comic Relief: Mojo Jojo was originally portrayed as one of the toughest rivals of the powerpuff girls. In this series, he's just a harmless goofball.
- Adaptational Curves: Subverted. His American counterpart retains his normal size as a chimpanzee post-mutation, and while the mutation seemingly causes this version to grow to the size of an adult human, it is later revealed that Mojo is just manning a Mini-Mecha underneath his Ominous Opera Cape.
- Adaptational Wimp: He's nowhere near as competent or threatening as his original portrayal.
- All-Encompassing Mantle: The original's cape is upgraded into this.
- Arch-Enemy: Or at least the most persistent enemy.
- Badass Normal: Though, downplayed compared to his counterpart in the original series, he's still very good at holding his own against the Girls..
- Big Bad Wannabe: Unlike in the original franchise, he wants to be the city's greatest villain, but is ways off.
- Card-Carrying Villain: Of course!
- Composite Character: He's Mojo Jojo alright, but being a macaque pre-mutation instead of a chimp also makes him a counterpart to Hota Wata, one of Mojo's lackeys in The Powerpuff Girls Movie. He even has Hota Wata's "beard-like" design.
- Evil Is Hammy: As is to be expected of him.
- Evil Is Petty: He's willing to go into rampages over something as trivial as ordering a burger and a side of fries and being one french fry short.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Is much more inept and hapless than his original counterpart.
- Laughably Evil: Due to being more incompetent than his American counterpart, he tends to be a major source of humor.
- Ominous Opera Cape: Unlike the original cartoon's Badass Cape, this version wears a longer, curtain-like cape attached to his Spikes of Villainy. It also covers the Mini-Mecha he uses to appear taller.
- Sour Outside, Sad Inside: His constant rampaging are mainly fueled by his need for affection and validation.
- Starter Villain Stays: Much like his American counterpart, he's both the very first major villain the girls face and the most recurring one.
- Sweet Tooth: He loves his sweets.
- Unrelated in the Adaptation: The original Mojo was Prof. Utonium's estranged pet monkey pre-mutation. This version is just a random zoo animal.
- Verbal Tic: "Mojo!", in place of his original speech patterns that could not be replicated in Japanese for obvious reasosns.
After the explosion of the Chemical Z ray, one of the black lights landed in the forest, creating the monster Fuzzy Lumpkins. This rendition of Fuzzy is as rude and destructive as the original, but is nice enough to help an old man or sign an autograph for a fan who likes his banjo playing, that is before going on a rampage. He has a crush on Ms. Sara Bellum.
- Adaptational Early Appearance: Played With. Fuzzy first appeared in a pre-series short along with the Amoeba Boys and the Gangreen Gang, but in the original cartoon proper he was the sixth recurring villain introduced after Mojo Jojo, Sedusa, HIM, the Amoeba Boys, and the Gangreen Gang. In this version he was the third introduced after Mojo and Princess Morbucks, second formally since Princess' first appearance was an Early-Bird Cameo.
- Adapted Out: He does not appear in the manga adaptation.
- Affably Evil: When he's not rampaging and causing mayhem, he can be quite friendly.
- The Brute: He's very big and aggressive.
- Distracted by the Sexy: In his debut, he is eventually defeated when distracted by his attraction to Ms. Bellum.
- Mysterious Past: While the original Japanese version refers to Fuzzy as "someone", suggesting that he used to be a person, the English dub makes Fuzzy's origins even more obscure by referring to him as "something or someone", making it possible that he may have been an animal before his transformation. Either way, we never know what Fuzzy was like before his exposure to the black light.
- The Juggernaut: The girls had a hard time beating him head on.
- Truer to the Text: Of all the Rogues Gallery from the original cartoon, Fuzzy's overall characterization is kept nearly intact.
- Ungrateful Bastard: When the Powerpuff Girls scolded a man for dumping garbage in Fuzzy's forest in the second half of episode 41, the pink hairy hillbilly still attacked the girls because he didn't like them saving the man's life.
- Verbal Tic: He often ends his statements with "tte mon da" in the original Japanese version.
- Villainous Crush: He has an attraction towards Ms. Sara Bellum.
- Was Once a Man: An uncertain example. The English dub makes it unknown who or what Fuzzy Lumpkins was before he became a pink hairy monster, but the Japanese version at least implies that he may have been a person.
A bratty rich kid in the girls' class who is hit by the black Chemical Z rays. Her powers are used based on her wants to be recognized by people. Once she is back to normal however, she does not recall any events that occurred while she was evil.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: She's a natural redhead in the cartoon but a brunette here until she turns into Princess, whereupon her hair turns red.
- Adaptational Angst Upgrade: In contrast to Princess Morbucks who was just a Spoiled Brat, Himeko's haughtiness has some roots in being overshadowed by her sister all her life and not having any friends growing up.
- Adaptational Attractiveness: The original Princess Morbucks isn't ugly per se, but she's intentionally drawn with sharp features to better present her as an Obviously Evil Spoiled Brat. This version has a notably softer facial feature which allows her to look a little more cuter.
- Adaptational Curves: She's taller than the original cartoon version thanks to the same Age Lift as the titular trio. Unlike the original who's at the same height as the girls, however, this version is notably shorter than them.
- Adaptational Early Appearance: This version makes an Early-Bird Cameo before the rest of the canonical Rogues Gallery sans Mojo were even introduced. She still makes her formal introduction after Fuzzy's, though the trope still stands as the original Princess Morbucks was the last of the recurring villains introduced debuting in the cartoon series' Season 2 premiere.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: She's still definitely a Spoiled Brat and a Jerkass just like the original Princess Morbucks, but it's toned down in comparison to the one from the original series and she eventually befriends the girls. Her role as a villain is also largely due to the black Chemical Z rays; she doesn't even remember anything that happens while she's transformed.
- Afro Asskicker: As Princess, her hairstyle changes to an afro.
- Age Lift: Along with the titular girls, she went from kindergarten-aged to an Eight Grader.
- Alpha Bitch: She's the arrogant and mean popular rich girl who thinks she's better than everyone and has a Girl Posse that supports it. Though she's usually more indifferent and concerned with self-aggrandizing than actively being nasty to others.
- Alternate Identity Amnesia: She never remembers what she does as Princess after being returned to normal.
- Attention Whore: She feels she has to be the center of attention.
- Big Fancy House: Because her family is rich, she lives at a huge mansion.
- Big Sister Worship: While she finds it annoying to be put her in her older sister's shadow by her parents, Himeko does love her sister very much and looks up to her.
- Brown Note: Her music-playing is so loud and powerful it induces headaches and renders people unable to move.
- Dark Magical Girl: As Princess, she causes trouble and becomes an enemy of the Powerpuff Girls Z because she strives for the attention denied to her by her parents in favor of her older sister.
- Decomposite Character: Princess takes the name and Attention Whore tendencies of Princess Morbucks in the original cartoon, while her sister Duchess is based off of Princess Morbucks' desire to be a superhero.
- Driven by Envy: Of both her sister and the Powerpuff Girls Z.
- Dub Name Change: Princess Morbucks.
- Evil Redhead: Her brown hair changes to red when she's Princess.
- Exotic Eye Designs: She has big white stars in place of pupils. As Princess, this changes to a circle parallel to the iris.
- Family Eye Resemblance: The Shirogane family trademark are star shapes in their eyes.
- Family Theme Naming: She and her sister are named after feminine royal titles in the English dub.
- Freudian Excuse: Her being an Attention Whore is a direct consequence of her parents' neglect and high standards for her by constantly comparing her to her sister.
- Friendless Background: She never had any friends while growing up.
- Glass Cannon: Unless something's powering her up, Princess nearly always either gets knocked out in one hit or faints the moment the girls catch her. The problem is usually getting past her crazy weapons.
- Green-Eyed Monster: Princess is always driven by envy of others getting the attention she thinks she rightfully deserves.
- Harmless Villain: Not necessarily because she can't put up fight (though see Glass Cannon above), but because she rarely does anything actually dangerous. Usually she just parades around town trying to get people to pay attention to her, more a threat to people's sleep than anything. Although, in her first appearance she did set a giant robot loose on the city...
- Inferiority Superiority Complex: She acts like a stuck-up and arrogant Alpha Bitch at school because at home, she's almost nonexistent to her parents who give all their attention to her more talented older sister even when the latter isn't there.
- Lonely Rich Kid: Her older sister is usually away from home and her parents rarely acknowledge Himeko because they're too busy watching her sister's videos. No wonder Himeko is an Alpha Bitch trying so hard to make others pay attention to her at school.
- Mad Artist: In episode 16, where the Utoniums tried suppressing her transformation by modifying Sapphire's voice. It did nothing but grant her new powers.
- Noblewoman's Laugh: Does this very often, especially when transforming into Princess.
- Ojou: She's the daughter of a wealthy family.
- Paint It Black: When transformed into her Superpowered Evil Side, her white stockings change into black ones.
- Power Dyes Your Hair: Her hair turns red as her evil self.
- Prehensile Hair: In episode 16 when changing Sapphire's voice granted her powers through her hair.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Of course.
- Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: Her hair turns bright red and her eyes turn green as Princess, denoting her change into her Superpowered Evil Side.
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Miyako/Bubbles and Kaoru/Buttercup just ignore her, but Momoko/Blossom is constantly getting into squabbles with her due to her Alpha Bitchiness. Toward the very end of the series, her relationship with Blossom has evolved to the point of Friendly Enemy (ex: episode 43.)
- Split-Personality Switch Trigger: Himeko transforms into her evil alter-ego Princess whenever she hears her cat Sapphire's screeching, similar to how Peach barks out for the girls to transform into Powerpuff Girls Z.
- Spoiled Brat: She behaves like an arrogant and obnoxious brat who thanks she's above others just because her parents are rich, though part of it is a desperate plea for attention.
- Successful Sibling Syndrome: Her older sister is ridiculously perfect at everything, so Himeko is always striving to live up to her older sister and hates to be compared to her by her parents. That doesn't mean she and her sister aren't close, though.
- Superpowered Evil Side: She's a normal, if bratty, girl, except when her cat screeches and she transforms into Princess, her evil alter ego created by the black Chemical Z ray.
- Tiny Tyrannical Girl: Like her cartoon counterpart, she's short and bratty.
- Transformation Sequence: Around episode 16, she gains her own transformation sequence similar to that of the girls.
- The Un-Favourite: Her parents do love her, but they always put her in her older sister's shadow nonetheless.
- Villainous Princess: She is a princess-themed villain named Princess.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: All she really wants is the love and attention of her parents, who always favor her older sister Miko.
- Youthful Freckles: She has freckles, same as her original counterpart.
Himeko/Princess' cat. She was hit by the black light along with her owner. Since then, Sapphire is able to activate her master's transformation by screeching whenever Princess accidentally harms Sapphire's tail (similar to Poochi's activation of the girls' transformation).
- Ascended Extra: The White Kitty was a Season 1 Monster of the Week in the original. Here she's made into princess Morbucks' Right-Hand Cat.
- Cats Are Mean: Doesn't seem to have a lot of scruples.
- Evil Counterpart: To Peach. While Peach makes the Powerpuff Girls change by shouting "Powerpuff Girls Z da wan" ("Powerpuff Girls, we need you" in the dub), Sapphire's screech is what causes Himeko/Princess to transform into her Superpowered Evil Side.
- Expy: Possibly of the white cat in the American version episode "Cat Man Do".
- Gender Flip: The White Kitty is identified as male in the original cartoon.
- Named by the Adaptation: The White Kitty is addressed as such in the original cartoon because he's just that.
- Related in the Adaptation: The White Kitty is not related to Princess Morbucks in the original cartoon. Here she's her pet cat.
- Right-Hand Cat: She is Himeko's pet.
- Team Member in the Adaptation: A variation. The White Kitty (a Monster of the Week) is an independent villain from Princess Morbucks (part of the Rogues Gallery) in the original cartoon. Here, while they don't necessarily do crimes together, the White Kitty serves as Princess' Transformation Trinket.
- The Vamp: The reason varies (she did it For the Evulz in the Japanese version, while the English dub had her try to get him to reveal the Powerpuff Girls' secrets), but the second half of the 27th episode had her attempt to seduce Peach/Poochi.
A group of amoeba brought to life by the black Chemical Z rays. Their members are Silk Hat, Poncho and Lady.
- Adapted Out: They do not appear in the manga.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: They're all blue green in the original. Here only The Leader is. The other two are apple green and violet.
- Distinguished Gentleman's Pipe: Top Hat smokes a pipe.
- Dub Name Change: Silk Hat is renamed as Top Hat and Lady is renamed as Violet.
- Evil Brit: Top Hat speaks with a British accent in the English dub.
- Fusion Dance: The three are able to merge together to become a giant yellow blob.
- Gender Flip: The original Amoeba Boys are a male trio.
- Harmless Villains: While they have a better grasp of crime than their American counterparts, they still fail at being villains because nobody takes them seriously and they often can't decide what crime to do before the Powerpuff Girls show up.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains: They're so bad at being villains, one would almost feel sorry for them.
- The Smurfette Principle: Lady is the only female member of the group.
- Terrible Trio: A team of three villains.
A quiet girl who runs a sweets store. She has a crush on a boy named Souichirou and it is her jealousy over the thought that he likes Miss Bellum what leads her to be hit by the black lights, transforming her into Sedusa whenever she puts on some lipstick.
- Adaptational Late Appearance: Not counting pre-series shorts, Sedusa was the second recurring villain introduced in the original cartoon after Mojo Jojo. Here she's not only preceded by (in order) Mojo, Princess Morbucks, Fuzzy Lumpkins, and the Amoeba Boys.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Here, Sedusa is a genuinely nice girl who just happens to have a Superpowered Evil Side.
- Adaptational Skimpiness: She's wearing a tube corset that accentuates her bust size along with a tutu that exposes her bare thighs. The original version wears a sleeveless leotard with minimal cleavage and black leggings.
- Adapted Out: She is not present in the short-lived manga adaptation.
- Alternate Identity Amnesia: Like Himeko, Sakurako doesn't retain any memories of what she does as Sedusa.
- Be a Whore to Get Your Man: Deconstructed. Sakurako, being under the wrong impression that her crush Souichirou is attracted to Miss Bellum, comes to believe she needs to change herself to be more sexy to gain Souichirou's attention. This misguided belief is what gave birth to Sakurako's Superpowered Evil Side Sedusa, which is the embodiment of the type of woman Sakurako thinks she needs to be if she wants to get Souichirou. Souichirou, however, likes the modest and shy Sakurako better than Sedusa.
- Bespectacled Cutie: Sakurako is a bespectacled girl who's cute, but shy and very insecure.
- Canon Character All Along: Sakurako/Annie seems to be some random character whom restaurant Momoko/Blossom frequents to. Until she transforms into a familiar looking Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette...
- Cherry Blossom Girl: Her name is a variation on Sakura and she is associated with flowers and love.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: She goes ballistic whenever she thinks that Souichirou is seeing someone else. As Sedusa, this is turned up to eleven.
- Dark Magical Girl: Sakurako is a good person at heart, but her fear of losing her boyfriend's love causes her to transform into Sedusa and cause trouble to get Souichirou's attention.
- Decomposite Character: The design of the original Sedusa's "Ima Goodelady" disguise is mostly given to Prof. Utonium's wife in this version. Coincidentally or not, they share a voice actress in the English dub.
- Desperately Craves Affection: Even though her boyfriend clearly loves her, Sakurako is extremely insecure about their relationship and feels the need for any kind of reassurance that she's loved the way she is at every turn.
- Dub Name Change: Her human self is called Annie in the English dub.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Sedusa is a villainess with black hair and chalk-white skin.
- Girlish Pigtails: In her normal form, she wears her hair in twin braids.
- Green-Eyed Monster: She became Sedusa indirectly because she was jealous of Ms. Bellum having a more appealing figure than hers.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Sakurako has blonde hair and is actually a decent person.
- Humanshifting: Sedusa can make herself look like anyone by putting on make-up. She just needs to wipe it out to turn back into Sedusa.
- I Am Not Pretty: She did not think that she looked pretty before she became Sedusa.
- I Just Want to Be Beautiful: She fears she's not attractive enough to keep Souichirou's attention, so she often tries to make herself look prettier with make up which activates her transformation into Sedusa.
- Imaginary Love Triangle: She at first thinks Souichirou is in love with Ms. Bellum. He actually has been in love with Sakurako all along, but is too shy to tell her. Meanwhile, Ms. Bellum has no interest in Souichirou and was oblivious to Sakurako's jealousy.
- Impossible Hourglass Figure: In Sedusa form, her breasts are larger and her waist is smaller.
- Insecure Love Interest: Even after Souichirou confesses he loves her and not Miss Bellum, she tends to feel insecure about their relationship because she still thinks she's not pretty enough and other things.
- Love Makes You Evil: All of her crimes as Sedusa are actually attempts to impress Souichirou by stealing pretty things or taking other people's appearances to make him jealous.
- Master of Disguise: Sedusa can make herself look like anyone with makeup, including their physical appearance. In her first appearance she disguises herself as Bubbles and Buttercup, both of whom are much shorter than her.
- Ms. Fanservice: As Sedusa, complete with Impossible Hourglass Figure and Of Corsets Sexy.
- Prehensile Hair: She is able to use her hair to grab things and fight like her counterpart from the original series in one episode. She never uses the ability again, though.
- Punny Name: Her name sounds similar to that of the folk hero Sakata no Kintoki, better known as Kintaro. Kintaro-ame is a type of hard candy commonly sold in shops like Sakurako's. Kintaro being a helpful character also makes the name a Cultural Translation of her original counterpart's alter ego "Ima Goodlady".
- Sexier Alter Ego: In contrast to the slim and modestly dressed Sakurako, Sedusa has an Impossible Hourglass Figure and dresses provocatively.
- Shrinking Violet: She is very shy and has a lot of insecurities regarding her appearance and love life.
- Split-Personality Switch Trigger: She was holding a lipstick when she got hit by the black Chemical Z ray, so putting on lipstick is the trigger for Sakurako's transformation into her Superpowered Evil Side Sedusa.
- Superpowered Evil Side: As a result of getting hit by a black Chemical Z ray, the sweet Sakurako transforms into the supervillainess Sedusa.
- That Woman Is Dead: Unlike Princess (who doesn't seem aware she's different when she changes), Sedusa doesn't identify as Sakurako and thinks she's better than her, so she really hates to be called by that name. Souichirou pointing out that he cares about her because she's also Sakurako is such a Logic Bomb to her that it makes her pass out.
- Twice Shy: Sakurako and Souichirou had liked each other for a while, but both were so shy that they hardly could see each other in the eye. After Sakurako becomes Sedusa for the first time, Souichirou confesses as soon as Sakurako is back to normal and they become a couple.
- Youthful Freckles: She has freckles in her normal form.
A nasty group of trouble makers, made up of Ace, Snake, Lil Arturo, Grubber, and Big Billy.
- Adapted Out: They are nowhere to be seen in the manga version.
- Dub Name Change: In the English dub, Snake is named Ivy. The rest of the gang keep their names in the dub until the 35th episode, where Ace is now called Bobby Green, Big Billy's name is changed to Big Boy, Grubber is called Lunk, and Lil Arturo's name is changed to Weevil.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: Lil Arturo/Weevil looks and sounds effeminate in both the Japanese version and the dub, but both are still boys. Snake also looks feminine, but actually is a girl in the English dub.
- Glamour Failure: No matter who Grubber/Lunk makes himself look like, he'll still have green skin and his tongue hanging out.
- She's a Man in Japan: Snake was changed to a girl named Ivy in the dub.
- The Smurfette Principle: The dub version has Snake/Ivy taking this position.
- Strong Family Resemblance: Every member of the Gangreen Gang looks like their parents. In particular, Ace/Bobby has his father's face and his mother's hair.
- Super-Speed: Lil Arturo/Weevil is very fast.
- Super-Strength: Big Billy/Big Boy.
Brick, Boomer and Butch are created by Mojo based on the DNA found on the girls' personal items. These items form the basis of the Rowdyruff's weapons. Brick's weapon is actually Blossom's heart twisty straw, which he uses to shoot spits balls at the girls, Boomer's weapon is Bubbles' used cotton swab, which he uses to hurl his own ear wax at opponents, and Butch's weapon is Buttercup's smelly gym sock, which he would throw to attack opponents with bad smells.
- Abled in the Adaptation: Butch in the original evidently Came Back Wrong, as he becomes notably unhinged upon revival. In part of the boys being Spared by the Adaptation, this Butch didn't suffer severe Sanity Slippage (though he and the other two still clearly display anti-social behavior).
- Adaptational Early Appearance: Brick and Boomer's hairstyles are the ones their original counterparts donned when they came Back from the Dead.
- Adaptational Curves: Being an Evil Knockoff of the girls like in the original cartoon, the Rowdyruff Boys received the same treatment as the girls above except for a slightly younger Age Lift (they went from kindergarten-age to pre-teens instead).
- Adaptational Nice Guy: They're far from saints, but they still lack the original boys' blatant thirst for violence.
- Adaptational Wimp: While their original incarnations had superpowers akin to the Powerpuff Girls' —more powerful even, being the first villains to defeat and kill them—, here, they're more of a nuisance than an actual threat, having no superpowers. Mojo considers them a failed experiment.
- Adapted Out: None of them appear in the manga adaptation.
- Age Lift: They went from kindergarten-aged like the girls in the original, to slightly younger (clearly pre-teen, implied to be 10-12) than them in this anime.
- Artificial Human: While the Powerpuff Girls of this continuity are three unrelated 13-year-old girls who gained their powers after exposure to the white Chemical Z rays, the Rowdyruff Boys have an origin closer to their American counterparts, as they are once again male clones of the girls created by Mojo Jojo, the difference being that this time the ingredients Mojo uses are Blossom's heart-shaped straw, Bubbles' cotton swab, and Buttercup's sock instead of snips, snails, and puppy dog tails.
- Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Gender inverted.
- Composite Character: The boys are the one to fill the fake Powerpuff Girls role in an episode instead of a trio of one-shot villains.
- Dirty Kid: They upskirted the girls during their first encounter.
- Girls Have Cooties: They have an aversion towards being touched by the girls and initial reluctance in stealing their clothes in their second appearance for this reason.
- Evil Counterpart: Like their American counterparts, they are male versions of the Powerpuff Girls who are also evil.
- Evil Redhead: Brick has red hair.
- Fartillery: In the dub version, the scene where they mooned the girls was changed so that it looked like they farted while turned around instead. They also publicly humiliate the girls in their second appearance when they stink up the place while disguised as the girls by farting.
- Jerkasses: They are not nice at all. In their debut, they were even shown to be as mean and rude to Mojo Jojo as they are to the girls.
- Related in the Adaptation: Unlike the original, Mojo made them from the girls' DNA. Doesn't stop the boys from upskirting them.
- Spared by the Adaptation: A variation. The original boys didn't survive their introduction, though they were revived by HIM towards the end. These boys survive not only their debut episode, but the entire series.
- Spear Counterpart: Male versions of the Powerpuff Girls.
- Toilet Humour: They have a very crude sense of humor and Mojo even made them from collecting the girls' wastes. To hammer the point home, Mojo's finishing formula to create the boys in the original cartoon was his own Chemical X that he defecated (as in from a toilet bowl).
- Unrelated in the Adaptation: One of the components Mojo Jojo uses to create he Rowdyruff Boys in the original cartoon is the talking dog's tail fur. In this version he uses the girls' DNA instead since the talking dog is also a Robot Dog here.
- Youthful Freckles: Boomer.
The most powerful enemy of the series, and it is safe to say that he is the main antagonist. Him is a demon, nothing more and nothing less than chaos itself. His biggest weakness is the cold. It is known that he released a strange dust that was responsible for producing some villains.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: His skin went from the original's absurdly red to the more human-like olive. He still looks uncanny as ever.
- Adaptational Late Appearance: Not counting pre-series shorts, HIM was the third recurring villain introduced in the original cartoon after Mojo Jojo and Sedusa. Here he's the very last, though it worked on building him up as the Big Bad.
- Adaptational Villainy: Downplayed; while both this version of Him and the original were unrelentlessly evil, there are a few lines he crossed that the classic Him wouldn't, such as betraying his "comrades" when he no longer needed them. He also attacks the Powerpuff Girls simply because they look like the Goodenough Girls whereas the original recognizes them as their own people.
- Adapted Out: He never appears in the short-lived manga adaptation, which is rather glaring considering that the anime establishes him as the main antagonist and the reason the black Z rays created the Powerpuff Girls' enemies and the other monsters they face.
- Ambiguously Gay: A bit less of a drag queen than his original self, but still very much this.
- Ancient Evil: He's been causing havoc centuries back.
- And I Must Scream: His final fate is having his conscience trapped inside a cloud of white Z rays, which was then hurled into space.
- The Bad Guy Wins: He accomplishes this twice.
- In his first episode, he sends a mummy to find white energy so that the seals keeping him inside his prison can be destroyed. He succeeds by the end of the episode, though he doesn't act on his freedom immediately because he finds the outside world too cold and opts to wait for the weather to get warmer.
- In the first half of the 43rd episode, he manages to send the girls on a wild goose chase by making it look like he is threatening Professor Utonium, Ken, and Poochi. By the time the girls find out that Utonium, Ken, and Peach only got terrible haircuts and were not in danger, Him escapes and gets to enjoy teatime using the items he told the girls to get for him.
- Beware the Silly Ones: Yes, he's an Ambiguously Gay goofball who hates the cold. He's also based on a guy who is the Powerpuff equivalent of Satan.
- Big Bad: Is behind the evil force that creates the villains the girls fight.
- Creepy Crossdresser: He regularly dresses almost ballerina-like.
- Effeminate Voice: He's voiced Ryūsei Nakao and like his original American counterpart, he's a Sissy Villain.
- Evil Redhead: He has red hair and like his American counterpart is essentially the devil.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: He takes the girls' weapons in the 46th episode and attempts to use them to kill the girls while showing the weapons' full capabilities, but this results in the girls finding out how to make their attacks stronger, thereby enabling them to successfully inflict a Curb-Stomp Battle on Him.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: HIM.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: As is the case with his American counterpart, he wears red and black and is a villain.
- The Scottish Trope: Just like his American counterpart, the audience never learns his real name. When Ken asks his father about Him's real name, the audience is treated to ominous music and Ken's terrified face.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: In ancient times, Him was dedicated to bring about the destruction of a small town, however, was defeated by the Goodenough Girls who took advantage of Him's weakness (cold) to lock him up and take part of their evil and save the mountains. But when Ken ended up destroying that mountain (below) Z-rays were scattered all around New Townsville, and consequently, over producing and giving birth to the many villains in the city. And a black Z lightning struck Him and woke him.
- Sissy Villain: Like his American counterpart, Him is a major villain with very effeminate behavior and dressing style.
- Villainous Harlequin: As opposed to his devil design from the original show, this Him's design is based on a harlequin costume.
An effeminate hairdresser with strange tastes in hair. While pulling the string on his teddy bear, it got hit by black Z-Rays and gave him the power to hypnotize the customers to accept his eccentric hairstyle. He only changes when he pulls the string on his teddy bear.
- Ambiguously Gay: His sexual orientation isn't given in either the dub or the original Japanese version, but he acts rather flamboyant and effeminate in both.
- The Cameo: He makes a brief appearance in the second half of the 25th episode.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: While male in both the Japanese version and the dub, he looks like a woman.
- Dub Name Change: Gilbert/Gigi the Great.
- Gratuitous English: Uses English words in the Japanese versions.
- Laughably Evil: On top of being an Ambiguously Gay Large Ham, his true form is some freakish combination of scissors, a jester, and Kermit the Frog.
- Sissy Villain: Comes with him being Ambiguously Gay.
A young boy who has spent most of his life in a hospital with an illness and Miyako/Bubbles' childhood friend and crush. When he is hit by the dark light, he transforms into a werewolf-like monster and escapes, though does not attempt to harm others. He is also notably the only antagonist exclusive to the anime to appear in the short-lived manga adaptation.
- Anti-Villain: Even when changed into a monster, he only becomes violent when the girls attack him and otherwise actually takes the time to save children.
- Delicate and Sickly: He spent years in the hospital because he was sick. This is averted in the English dub, where he ended up in the hospital more recently because he broke his ankle, though the dub of his second appearance forgets about it and follows his condition in the Japanese version.
- Dub-Induced Plot Hole: The original Japanese version established that he was in the hospital for 7 years because of a critical heart condition, but the English dub changes it so that he was sent to the hospital recently because of a broken ankle. The change is contradicted in the dubbed version of the character's second appearance, which ignores the broken ankle change to follow the heart condition established in the Japanese version.
- Dub Name Change: Cody.
- First Love: To Miyako/Bubbles.
- Forgotten Friend, New Foe: After waiting years to see him again, Miyako/Bubbles meets him as a monster she must defeat. Once she realizes who he is, she refuses to fight him and keeps the other girls from attacking him.
- Freudian Excuse: He became very bitter because of all the years he had to spend in the hospital.
- New Powers as the Plot Demands: In his second appearance, his monster form gains wings near the end of the episode.
- Oblivious to Love: He doesn't seem to notice that Miyako/Bubbles' affections towards him are not platonic. To be fair to him though, he's constantly worried about his health.
- Pinky Swear: With Miyako/Bubbles, agreeing that they would meet again someday after they first met.
- Wolf Man: A human boy made into a werewolf creature.
He used to be a camera that made black-and-white photographs until the mayor threw him in the trash. Afterwards, he was exposed to a black Chemical Z ray and became a monster who later used flashes to steal the color from parts of people's bodies.
- Brought Down to Normal: By the end of his episode, he is turned back into an ordinary camera.
- Dub Name Change: Negatron.
- Freudian Excuse: He stole people's color because he hated being discarded into the trash.
A bowl of noodles who came to life over outrage of people disrespecting the way the chef who made him makes ramen.
- Calling Your Attacks: He attacks using noodle-related foodstuffs and shouts their names in accordance.
- The Cameo: He appears on the ship that Napolitan gets on at the end of the first half of episode 33.
- Dub Name Change: Noodlehead.
- Heel Realization: He sees the error of his ways at the end of the episode and decides to stop forcing people to eat ramen the way the chef who made him prefers.
- Verbal Tic: In the Japanese version, he ends his sentences with "dura".
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He only started forcing people to eat ordinary soy sauce ramen because he was upset by how nobody seemed to respect the chef who made him.
A being made of radio waves who was created when a black Chemical Z ray struck a radio tower while the mayor was arguing with his brother the principal over the phone. Eventually, he grew sick of the brothers arguing and turned into a giant monster made of phones.
- Dub Name Change: Digitron
- Freudian Excuse: He became a monster because he was sick of the mayor and the principal arguing. After the Powerpuff Girls defeat him, however, he gives up and accepts that getting the brothers to get along is a lost cause.
He started out as a normal piano until he was hit by the black light. Over time, he got fed up with people playing him terribly, Mojo's attempt at playing him being the straw that broke the camel's back. He then became a monster and started devouring everyone who could play him perfectly.
- Brought Down to Normal: At the end of his episode, the girls return him to the lab and Professor Utonium turns him back into a normal piano.
- Dub Name Change: Piano Forte
- Freudian Excuse: In addition to the people who were terrible at playing piano, he was also resentful because the people who played him well never thanked him for his help in developing their skill.
A child's lost rubber duck who came to life after exposure to the black light. Peach eventually found and befriended him, but disaster struck when Puyo became huge after consuming lots of bubble bath.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: He became gigantic after eating tons of bubble bath and going into the nearby ocean.
- Brought Down to Normal: He ends up returning to being a normal rubber duck after the girls squeeze all the bubble bath, water, and dark energy out of him.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Unlike most victims of the black Chemical Z rays, Puyo is not malevolent due to remembering that the boy who owned him loved him. As a result, he is also the only Chemical Z-created monster who doesn't give off a dark aura.
- Dub Name Change: Quack-Quack/Mr. Quackers
- Extreme Omnivore: He eats bubble bath.

A mummy brought to life by HIM in order to absorb some white energy and use it to free HIM from his prison.
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: He is at one point momentarily sidetracked from his mission after getting a taste of takoyaki (cream puffs in the English dub), which causes him to instead go to every takoyaki/cream puff shop in town and eat all their stock.
- Mummy: It's a given.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: While the mummy is destroyed in a battle with the Powerpuff Girls before he is able to return with the white energy he drained from them, his remains still made it to Him anyway and Him no longer needed the mummy now that he was free.
- You No Take Candle: He talks this way in the English dub, as he is more articulate in the original Japanese version.
An amateur comedian named Achika who was turned into a monster by one of Him's dark energy particles.
- Brought Down to Normal: He is returned to normal by Professor Utonium at the end of his episode.

Other characters:
Mayor Mayer's younger brother and the principal of the girls' school.

He also deals with his brother when the girls aren't doing well in class due to them skipping class to save the city.
- Sibling Rivalry: He and his brother tend to argue. In fact, their disagreements were so bad that it also created a Monster of the Week made of radio waves when they bickered on the phone.

Coincidentally or not, she and the anime Sedusa share the same voice actress in the English dub.

Justified in that this version of Princess has a Superpowered Evil Side, eventually becomes nicer after befriending the Powerpuff Girls, and has no memory of what she did during her transformations.
