Number Three also seems slightly boastful about always winning the games.

The series begins with the Number One block, which walks around counting different items that are also one, such as a bird and a tree. He then comes across another “One Block,” who pops out of a mirror from his reflection, and the two combine to create two. They grow lonely, so he separates himself to make the two again.

The following numbers’ introductions unfold in the same way. Later, Number Three helps Numbers One and Two pick apples because they’re too short to reach them. At one point, the characters play a game, and Number One loses, so Number Three says, “Bad luck.” Three seems boastful that he keeps winning the games they’re playing. Later, the blocks meet Number Four, who can morph into a square, and Four teaches his friends about square shapes.

Next, the blocks practice counting and discover a “trampoline park” that Number Three created. They morph themselves into different shapes, stamp themselves on pieces of paper, and create colorful visuals to see other arrangements of the numbers.
