Thirteen is the 26th episode of the third season of Numberblocks. It is the 56th episode overall.
Synopsis[]
Unlucky Thirteen falls apart whenever anyone mentions his name.
Plot[]
Ten is seen eating a banana and holding a glass of water while leaning on a tree. Three sneaks from behind the tree and scares her, causing her to drop both the banana peel and glass of water she had. Three soon clarifies that she was just excited to show off her new trick, but when she attempts to do it, one of her juggling balls fall off. Before all her juggling balls start to fall off, Three manages to catch all of them. However, when she attempts the trick again, one of them falls to the ground and she trips on it and flies into the air. Three and Ten both collide and create a new Numberblock.
The Numberblock happens to be Thirteen, who slips on the same exact banana peel after counting all his blocks, and splitting. After attempting to state who he is again, he soon slips on the glass and splits again. Seemingly now safe from any accidents, he states who he is once more, only to be hit by a chicken from nowhere. Thirteen soon sings a song about him being unlucky.
He manages to barely dodge most of the things that attempt to split him, however, upon saying Thirteen, he falls into pieces. Eventually, it turns out, whenever he says (or hears) his name, he automatically will break up into Ten and Three. After realizing this, Thirteen decides to change his luck up and not say his name... until the near end, where a piano crashes onto him but he survives unscathed.

- Song: Unlucky Number Thirteen
- One, Twelve (Both One and Twelve are on the ladder when Thirteen is walking under the ladder), and Eleven (heard offscreen, but her football nearly hits Thirteen, and Eleven apologizes) made a cameo in this episode.
- Eleven appears but not Two, despite 2+11 being a number bond that adds up to 13.
- This is the first episode (even when a new Numberblock debuted) where One doesn’t speak.
- List of unlucky things that happened:
- Three scaring Ten, making her drop her banana peel and glass.
- Three dropping her juggling balls.
- Three stepping on one of her balls and Ten slipping on the banana peel, causing them to make Thirteen.
- Thirteen slipping on the same banana peel, causing him to split into Ten and Three.
- Thirteen stepping on Ten's glass (from now on these events cause him to split into Ten and Three, except the ladder)
- A chicken dropping on Thirteen
- Thirteen crashing into a lamppost.
- Thirteen stepping into a puddle and slipping.

- A few parts of the episode were teased in a trailer along with the previous 5 episodes, hinting that Thirteen will appear too.
- The first time Thirteen properly splits (i.e not via outer factors such as chickens) is upon clarifying he was just joking.
- During the end, the camera spins around Thirteen. Paired with the background, this is probably a reference to the very first episode, minus the fact Thirteen is constantly moving.
- Some snippets of Thirteen splitting to Ten and Three sing a different song before merging again.
- INNUENDO: Thirteen was about to say "poop" because of the rhyme but altered it to "puddle."
- This joke will later return in the Colourblocks episode, Brown.
