The Powerpuff Girls

The Powerpuff Girls is in a merchandise and streaming push in Japan. ABEMA's free run of all 119 episodes ended October 12, PLAZA began early sales of Moonbat winter accessories around mid-October, and Zetteria's first collaboration started October 21, 2026.

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 25

The three stories about The Powerpuff Girls cover streaming and merchandise in Japan, not new animation. ABEMA announced in September that it would stream all 119 episodes from Seasons 1 to 3 free at five episodes per day starting September 19, running through October 12. Each episode's first streaming run starts alongside the broadcast, and broadcast episodes stay free for 24 hours after they air. The series is based on an original work by Craig McCracken.

The merchandise side moved through different retail channels. Moonbat's four winter accessory items (two scarves, a bag, and a knit hat) went on early sale at PLAZA from around mid-October, with sequential releases at Loft, ZOZOTOWN, and other retailers from early November. Zetteria's first collaboration with the series began Wednesday, October 21, 2026, with the "Yummy Power Up! Wakuwaku Set." Buyers of an eligible set get an original round can pouch, about 7.5 cm across and 3 cm thick, with a carabiner. The pouches come in four designs at random: Blossom with a burger, Bubbles with fries, Buttercup with a shake, and a secret all-together design.

What connects the stories is that the series is being handled as a licensed catalog title in Japan, moving through a streaming window and general retail rather than a dedicated anime store. The pouch set gives buyers a reason to return for another set, because the four designs join into one picture. More Zetteria collaboration details are planned for later.
