Plot[]
One and Ten meet One Hundred, as they sit down, biggest to smallest in the campfire. One and her Teddy see lots of stars above, and One exclams there must be a hundred of them. One Hundred says that there are way more than that, which makes One confused, as One Hundred was the biggest Numberblock she had ever known.[1]
Then, One has a thought. She realises that you can always make a bigger number by adding One.
One thinks of herself and One Hundred. In the thoughts, they both join together to make...
"101".
One says she can keep adding One.
"102, 103..."
Ten suggests adding Tens.
"110, 120, 130..."
One Hundred, Ten and One then think of adding hundreds.
"100, 200, 300..."
One says they can make...
"Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine" (999)
One thinks there can always be bigger numbers when you add more blocks.
One Hundred shows One a number bigger than 999. It starts with One, and then 9 more Ones show up, totalling to Ten.
Then there are ten Tens, which make One Hundred.
After that, there are ten Hundreds, which make...
"One Thousand"! (1,000)
One says that One Thousand looks like a giant One, with One Thousand responding with "I'm a thousand Ones".
One gets sleepy, and One Thousand says "Good night, little One.", with One responding with "Good night, One Thousand".
Ten and One Hundred are asleep while One is struggling to be cause of how excited she is about meeting bigger numbers. One falls asleep shortly after, and begins dreaming. She says hello to the dream, and sees another One. One in her dream multiplies One by ten multiple times to get Ten, then One Hundred, then One Thousand. After that, ten Thousands come together, literally to make...
"Ten Thousand" (10,000)
Then ten Ten Thousands make...
"One Hundred Thousand" (100,000)
Then ten One Hundred Thousands make...
"One Million" (1,000,000)
One is so happy to see One Million, who says to One, "And you can always make a number that's bigger!".
The dream ends, and One begins counting one teddy, one moon and one million stars, or more, because One believes that there could be even bigger numbers than One Million.
Math Magic[]
All instances are imaginary, which means they didn't happen in real time.
- 100 + 1 = 101
- 101 + 1 = 102
- 102 + 1 = 103
- 100 + 10 = 110
- 110 + 10 = 120
- 120 + 10 = 130
- 100 + 100 = 200
- 200 + 100 = 300
- 900 + 90 = 990
- 990 + 9 = 999
- 10 × 1 = 10
- 10 × 10 = 100
- 10 × 100 = 1,000
- 10 × 1,000 = 10,000
- 10 × 10,000 = 100,000
- 10 × 100,000 = 1,000,000
Trivia[]
- One Million was the biggest Numberblock ever shown until What If? which revealed One Billion.
- One Million is possibly a reference to the very first Numberblocks episode where One says in her song: "I'm One in a million".
- The thousands have clustered versions of the original counterparts' voices. (E.g. One Thousand sounds like a clustered One)
- In a storyboard on Vimeo, One Hundred Thousand's voice isn't clustered. This is also the case with the Portuguese dub (One Million’s voice is also not clustered there).
- In the storyboard, Ten Thousand had a different shape, and all the thousands and One Million had limbs before they decided to have them have no limbs.
- Ten Thousand has square eyes because she is a hundred Hundreds. All of the imagined squares that are multiples of One Hundred also have square eyes, such as One Million.
- One is having a lucid dream, as she counts one dream and says hello to it. This is also the first time a character with the Learningblocks franchise has a lucid dream, because of we saw Z dreaming, but he didn’t seem to know it was a dream.
- This marks the first and only time One Hundred is seen sleeping.
- Based on the seats of the numberblocks, this episode briefly introduced place value.
- Some people thought this was the debut of Numberblock 1001. Whether a debut or not, this is the biggest number to have an episode named after them, beating One Hundred, Fifty, and Twenty.
- If 1001 would be a character, s/he would have rainbow traits, large-and-small eyes and ability to fall apart since 1001=7x11x13.
- There was a dispute of if this episode was named One Thousand and One or One Hundred and One.
- Despite being a Blue Level Five episode, which features number 100 and under, this is the first episode to feature numbers over 100.
