See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey

"See Me, Feel Me, Gnomey" is the sixth episode of The Powerpuff Girls season five, and the fifty-sixth overall. It was originally planned to be aired in either 2003 or 2004, but was banned by Cartoon Network for religious comparisons to a hippie resembling Jesus near crossed metal beams. It aired all over the world, however, and the episode was eventually seen in the United States on DVD on January 20, 2009. It was written by Chris Savino and Dave Smith, directed by Savino and John McIntyre, and voiced directed by Collette Sunderman.

In a rock opera special, the girls give up their powers to a magical gnome in exchange for getting rid of all the evil in Townsville. But the girls learn that you can't have good without bad.
