Dragon Ball and The Powerpuff Girls have collaborated on a new work of art that brings the two together in the best – and healthiest – way possible.
In a June 20 post on X (formerly Twitter), artist Mocci Mu posted an illustration of Dragon Ball's Goku blocking three attacks at once, each coming from a different member of the Powerpuff Girls — Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup. The post, seen below, was captioned, “Goku loves a challenge. The girls love their new babysitter.”

Dragon Ball's Goku Could Be a Better Babysitter Than He Ever Was a Radish Farmer
While Goku is never depicted as holding any long-term job in the Dragon Ball series beyond his reluctant job as a radish farmer at the start of Dragon Ball Super, one could perhaps imagine that a A profession for which a Saiyan warrior might be suited is babysitting a number of children with comparable superpowers. Overall, the Powerpuff Girls share a range of superhuman powers between them, including near-divine strength, speed, and durability. They can also fly, have X-rays and night vision and can even breathe in space. Besides their individual abilities, such as firing electrical blasts and creating sonic shields – among many others – they would likely be more than a Super Saiyan babysitter, even People sometimes forget their own strength.
Created by the late Akira Toriyama in 1984 and adapted from the two-part Dragon Boy series published the previous year in Akira Toriyama's Manga Theater magazine, Dragon Ball largely follows the life and adventures of the Saiyan Goku. Before his homeworld was destroyed by the villain Frieza, an infant Goku, or Kakarot, was sent to Earth on a small spaceship, where he was found and raised by Son Gohan. Although it quickly became clear from his Saiyan lineage that he was a superhuman force of nature, young Goku developed a carefree personality before embarking on any of the explosive journeys that the Dragon Ball series is known for.

The Powerpuff Girls franchise is a fan-favorite created by Craig McCracken and produced by Hanna-Barbera. The original series debuted on Cartoon Network on November 18, 1998, and became an overnight phenomenon. The series follows the eponymous trio Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup—three sisters who spend their days trying to keep up with the rest of their kindergarten class and save the city of Townsville from the various supervillains and monsters who would do it harm. The original series ran for 78 episodes over six seasons and even got its own animated movie in 2002. A live-action Powerpuff Girls reboot was in development at The CW for nearly three years, and the project was eventually canceled in 2023, barely two months after the pilot script was leaked online and received scathing reviews.
