Odd Squad
The Power of Adding Zero
Clip: Season 2 Episode 31 | 2m 5sVideo has Closed Captions
The Total Zeroes change their powers from subtracting zero to adding zero.
Ms. O tells Otis and Olympia more of the story of the Total Zeroes. Sister Zero figured out that subtracting zero wasn't a good power, so she changed her power so that she could add zero. But any number plus zero is still zero - so this power didn't do anything either.

Okay.
Easy, easy...
There you two are.
Want to hear the rest of the story?
What story?
The Total Zeros story.
Remember, we started it a few weeks ago?
Oh, right!
I vaguely recall that.
I have a couple of minutes free, and I thought it would be a good time.
Have a seat.
So, where were we?
Right, the Total Zeros' powers.
Sister Zero realized they needed a better power, so she went to a night class to learn welding and changed the minus signs on their gloves to plus signs.
Hey, sis?
How do you feel about this as a name for my flower shop: "The Flower Shop"?
I feel like it really says what it is.
No time for that, Brother Zero.
See this plus sign?
Plus is way more powerful than minus, because now we have the power to add zero!
Let's go show Odd Squad who they're dealing with.
[alarm blaring] [cackling] We are the Total Zeros!
[both] Plus zero!
Plus zero!
[cackles] Stop the alarms!
It's just the Total Zeros.
"Just the Total Zeros"?
Oh yeah?
Two juice boxes... plus zero!
Who are the worst villains now, Ms. O?
You.
You're still the worst villains.
Your powers don't do anything.
Um... Did you miss that neat part where we just added zero?
When you add zero to a number, the number doesn't change, so two juice boxes plus zero juice boxes still equals two juice boxes.
But then, the most unexpected thing happened.
Ms. O, Santa has a problem.
Oh.
Sorry, I have to go.
Is it okay if we pick up this story after the holidays?
Sure.
Yep.
[sighs] A month and a half later...
