action

Five children under the leadership of Nigel Uno ( Numbuh One , in German 001 ) want to stand up for the rights of children around the world. This means that they take action against adults who tell them when to go to bed and when to get sweets . The team also wants to realize the children's imaginations. Fantasies like constructing a moon rocket or a large space station . So that the wishes of the children come true, the five (which are actually only one sector of a global organization) fight against various adult but also underage villains . Among other things, against your own family members.

Your arch enemies are The Father , The Good Children and, in the pilot film Operation ZERO, The Grand-Father . Other enemies sometimes appear in the series.

characters

The “kids next door” have numbers. In the German dubbing, their names were translated from 001 ( zero-zero-one ) to 005, following the example of James Bond .

main characters

Nigel Uno ( Numbuh One ). He is the leader of the five children who appear continuously on the series. He is wearing sunglasses, a red sweater and gray pants . He is considered a tough strategist and sometimes gets angry quickly, but also very calm and thoughtful. Like the other children, who are the main characters in the animated series, he lives in his father called Sector V., Nigel Uno Sr. as Numbuh Zero, the KND along with former member of Father ( Father ) was founded.

Hoagie Pennywhistle Gilligan Jr. ( Numbuh 2 ). He is a very corpulent and tall boy who rarely appears WITHOUT his yellow, opaque aviator glasses and cap . He is the designer of the inventions, especially the vehicles and aircraft used in Sector V. His weakness is clearly his voracity.

Kuki Sanban ( Numbuh 3 ). Kuki is slim, has long black hair and wears an oversized, green sweater. Your hands are therefore rarely seen. However, it can be assumed that she has five fingers on each hand like the other. She is usually naive and always cheerful. However, she is just as ready for a fight as the other four team members. If she is angry, her anger takes the form of a transformation into a werewolf . The construction she uses is a tank in the shape of a rabbit . She is also a math genius, which she does not always show openly. She has a little sister named Mushi Sanban.

Wallaby Beetles ( Numbuh 4 ): Numbuh 4 is also a member. He has blond hair, which goes up to his eyes, so that his face is almost never visible. He is wearing an orange hooded sweater . He builds very creative weapons, such as B. a machine that throws mud. Characteristic of him is his very cheeky behavior and his enthusiasm for Japanese martial arts . Unfortunately, Numbuh 4 has a big problem in the water as it cannot swim.

Abigail Lincoln ( Numbuh 5 ): Abigail Lincoln is an African American. Like the other children, she is between ten and twelve years old. She wears a red cap that is pulled low over her face. She also wears a blue t-shirt. She is considered very serious and sometimes very aggressive. But she can be smart and understanding.

Bad guys

The grandfather: The grandfather is the grandfather of Nigel Uno. His full name is Benedict Uno Sr. He is the real top villain as the father is only an assistant to him. He has long hair on his ears and nose. He is also very lean and hunchbacked in his human form. His goal is to turn the entire world into old zombies . He appears both in his normal form as a grumpy old man and as a devil with glowing yellow eyes, tentacles instead of legs and all in black.

The father : It is his equally bad son of grandfather and thus the uncle of Numbuh One. He has adopted the so-called "good children" as his children and wants to create children like them. This is his evil plan: All children in the world should be good and obey their parents. The father wears large glasses and has a pipe in his mouth. His real name is like his grandfather Benedict Uno. In his “demon form”, when he gets upset, flames come out of him, which depending on how angry he is, sometimes smaller and sometimes bigger.

The good children : (Original: Delightful Children from Down the Lane ) These are five children who were adopted by their father . There are two girls and three boys. They are most often defeated by the Sector V children. One of the boys hides his face under a football helmet. Except for a girl with glasses and a very tall boy, all children are blonde. The children all talk at the same time. You are, according to the pilot, the "absolutely evil side" of the teen ninjas. Your area of operation is "Sector Z".

Other characters (heroes and villains)

Numbuh 86 : She is the deputy commander in chief of all kids next door in the world. She is very bossy and bears as the world command a sort of samurai - Armor . She often gets into an argument with Numbuh 1, as he often finds her commands ridiculous. Her real name is Frances "Fanny" Fulbright .

Numbuh 362 : She is the commander in chief of the KND Operatives. She is a little quieter than her deputy, but is respected as a leader. Her name is actually Rachel T. Mckenzie . Incidentally, the headquarters of this organization is on the moon.

Chad Dickinson : Chad Dickinson was the predecessor of Numbuh 362 as commander in chief. He was dismissed because he is said to have carried out opaque business with adults that was forbidden by the KND world organization. Thereupon he retaliated and founded his own command, the Teen Ninjas . He is 14-16 years old and wears armor that covers almost his entire body.

Cree Lincoln : As with Chad Dickinson, later seasons of the animated series will reveal that she was a member of the KND organization. She is the big sister of Abigail Lincoln and annoys her all the time. She is 16 years old, very tall, and especially annoys those who are shorter than her.

Episode names

The sequence names are acronyms and begin with Operation . So the consequences are called Operation TEETH, which means “tooth pulling extremist heats up number 3” or RENDEZVOUS for “Really experiencing new dimensions of togetherness often changes our image”. Only the first episodes had titles without acronyms, they were called Kein Pipi in den Pool and Kenny and Chimpy - Totally contaminated or the monkey pox .
