Nine is the nineteenth episode of the Numberblocks series and the fourth episode of Season 2.

Plot

Four is upset that he is the only square Numberblock in the world. He starts to cry, but Eight tries to help him by arranging himself into a square, until Four and One point out that he is a square with a hole. One sees this and fits in.

8 + 1 = 9

Four is excited to see Nine and shows him the magic mirror and creates another Nine, who starts to sneeze out his middle block.

9 - 1 = 8

Both Four and Nine are square Numberblocks, due to them both having 4 sides and 4 corners. Four asks him why he has a number 9 on top. Nine explains in song that he is 3 rows of 3 blocks by 3, and Four is 2 blocks by 2.

As the episode ends, Nine starts to sneeze again, but Four gives him a hanky, and together the two of them say "Squares!"

Lyrics

1, 2, 3, 3 blocks in my first row

1, 2, 3, 3 blocks in my second

1, 2, 3, 3 blocks in my third row

3 rows of 3 3 rows combined

As you can see 3 rows of 3 make 9

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...

Ooh, tickly nose!

I'm fine!

*HE SNEEZES*

1, 2, 3, 3 blocks in a column

1, 2, 3, 3 blocks top to bottom

1, 2, 3, 3 blocks if you've got them

3 lots of 3 3 in a line

As you can see

4: 3 lots of 3 make 9...

9: That's right!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

I'm 3 blocks up and down

And 3 from side to side

I'm the same in both directions

I'm as tall as I am wide

That's why I'm square like you

I'm 3 by 3 You're 2 by 2

4: I'm 2 by 2 You're 3 by 3

Both: That's why you're square like me

4: We seem a very unlikely pair

But now you've explained it I see the squareness we share

I'm 2 blocks up and down

And 2 from side to side

I'm the same in both directions

I'm as tall as I am wide

9: That's why I'm square like you

I'm 3 by 3

I'm 2 by 2

That's why I'm square...

*HE SNEEZES*

4: Yes, I am square like you

9: I'm 3 by 3 You're 2 by 2

4: I'm 2 by 2 You're 3 by 3

9: That's why you're square

4: That's why you're square

Both: That's why you're square like me

4: 1, 2, 3, 4

9: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9!

Notes

• Song: That's Why You're Square Like Me.
• Five, Six and Seven are absent in this episode.
• Eight is the only Numberblock who has only two arrangements in this episode.
• This is the first time Teresa Gallagher (voice of Zero, Six with Ten and Fifteen) doesn't do any voice work for an entire episode.
• In the trailer for Ten out of Ten, Eight's line, "How's this?" is used in a clip in the episode Eight where Eight says "Octoblock, swim!"
• The instrumental version of the song can be heard in 9's games in the game Numberblocks Make & Play.
• 4 and 9 are square through the whole episode.
• The square background from this episode are used in 4's counting game in this game.
• This is the first time Four cries.
• Two and Three are seen in the song.
• The Welsh dub of Numberblocks, Blociau Rhif, completely skipped over this episode because it was forgotten.
  • However, it was released in June 16, 2020.
• Four is sad that's he's the only square Numberblock in the whole world, despite One also being one. This is because he didn't learn that One is indeed a square Numberblock until Square Club.
  • Also this episode is the first ever episode a Numberblock (Four) cries.
• This episode teaches not only about the number 9, but it also teaches columns and rows like in Twelve's episode, despite this episode being in orange level 2.

Errors

• When Nine sneezes the second time, Eight only has four normal limbs.
