During a trip to the beach, Ben discovers a new alien on the Omnitrix, Ditto. Ditto has the power to multiply at will, drawing the attention of Dr. Animo, who has just escaped from prison with the help of a mutated seagull. He captures one of Ben's Ditto clones in hopes of exploiting his alien DNA for his own evil purposes. Using the alien DNA, Animo creates an army of self-multiplying mutant Stinkflies, but Ben exploits the inherent weakness in the clones to destroy every Stinkfly clone and capture Dr. Animo once more. Ben gains another Omnitrix hero to use, which he calls Ditto. Gwen can't stand being around the multiplying Dittos, and they end up giving her headaches. The Dittos, though, prove to be real helpful against Dr. Animo and his multiplying Stinkflies after he extracted some of Ditto's DNA.moreless

"Superb"

By ThunderDude14, Sep 01, 2007

In this episode, the Ben, Gwen, and Max are at a beach trying to have some fun. Ripjaws (Ben) scared everybody out of the water while swimming and Ben also annoyed Gwen and Max by bothering them. Then a giant bird mutant created by the just escaped Dr. Animo attacted. Ben went hero only to become a brand new alien named Ditto. Ditto could duplicate exact duplicates of itself. The battle was messy and it ended with Dr. Animo kidnapping one of the four Dittos (after they played each other on 2 on 2 basketball). Then they found out that all the Dittos need to be in the same place to transform back into Ben. So the other three Dittos, Gwen, and Max go after the evil, Dr. Animo. Overall this was a pretty good episode.moreless

"Superb"

By BaouShotaruga, Aug 03, 2007

This was a really good episode. We get the return of Dr. Animo, we get to see Gwen's progression in her learnings of magic, and we get a new alien. What more could you ask for?

For those of you who missed it but are curious, Ben's new alien is a short but sleek (kind of tween looking) black alien with white and blue trim with the ability to split into multiple copies of itself. Ben nicknames this one "Ditto".

It's good that we're getting new aliens without getting one in each new episode. I also enjoyed seeing Gwen display more talent with her magics.moreless

"Great"

By trm6, Jul 28, 2007

It was funny how, in the beginning of the episode, Grandpa Max and Gwen were talking about how nice and quiet it was, and when Max said he couldn't help thinking it was a little too quiet, they both asked where Ben was at the same time. Poor Ben. He was just trying to have a good time, but he ended up scaring everyone away from the beach, breaking Max's machine, and knocking over Gwen. Ben's new alien, Ditto, is cool looking. I like his voice. It was funny watching the two Dittos try to fight the giant bird of Animo's. He wasn't doing very well. One of the Dittos was being carried in the bird's mouth, and the other one was trying to save the first by grabbing onto the bird's tail. It was funny how the Dittos plucked out the bird's feathers as a means to get away. I love the scene where the three Dittos were irritating Gwen. It was so funny! I also like the scene right after that when they were playing two on two basketball. They were arguing about fouls and who was on whose team. It was funny how the fourth Ditto started tantalizing the giant bird when they met again in the wrecked ship Animo was using for his lair. The ending was a little stupid. Grandpa Max used his jet pack to fly at the bird and force it to release Ben, then, Gwen used her magic to bring Ben onboard the boat. It was pretty cool how Upgrade took over the boat and grabbed the tentacles of the giant squid to electrocute them.moreless

  EDIT SHARE
- Look Closely: After the mutant seagull begins chasing the two Dittos on the beach, the feathers one was holding disappear.
  EDIT SHARE
- Look Closely: Before the Ditto clones all pile on top of Animo, there is one sitting on the shoulders of two. The part of skin on his torso that should be white is black and reflective like his suit.
  EDIT SHARE
- Look Closely: When the power of the Omnitrix forces the three Ditto clones to fly through the air, all three do not have that little trio of green dots on their torso.
  EDIT SHARE
- In "The Krakken" and "A Small Problem", Ben had a little bit of upper body strength. But in this episode, he seemed a tad flabby and out of shape.
  EDIT SHARE
- In "The Krakken" and in "A Small Problem," Ben's swim trunks were green, but in this episode they're red. The same goes for Gwen, her swimsuit was purple with a blue design on it. But in this episode, it's just green.
  EDIT SHARE
- In the end fight against the Stinkfly clones, both Ditto clones moved in perfect unison.
  EDIT SHARE
- Look Closely: When Gwen says, "Nice one, doofuses", and both Dittos look at her, the Omnitrix symbol of the one on the left turns solid black for a split second.
  EDIT SHARE

  EDIT SHARE
- Running Gag: Ben stabbing his foot on a rock, Gwen laughing, Ben saying it's not funny and Gwen saying it's something funnier.

  EDIT SHARE

  EDIT SHARE
- It seems that Ditto can breath underwater, as Dr. Animo held him in a water tank.
  EDIT SHARE
- This is the first appearance of Ripjaws since "Back with a Vengeance." He did not make an appearance in season three.

  EDIT SHARE
- Dr. Animo's first name is revealed to be Aloysius.
  EDIT SHARE
- This is the second time we see an alien whose natural form is different than the Omnitrix form. First was in "Truth" when they showed the Vulpamancers (Wildmutt). Although it could also be noted that they are a mutation of what natural Lepidopterran looks like, as Dr. Animo mutates things into twisted creatures.
  EDIT SHARE
- We see Stinkfly's species in what may be its natural form.
  EDIT SHARE
- This is the second time Ben taunted an animal in order to break free from his enemy's prison cell, the first was in "A Small Problem."

  EDIT SHARE
- The Matrix: Reloaded After the Stinkfly clones were destroyed, all the Dittos jumped into a pile on top of Animo, just like when the army of Smiths piled on top of Neo in the courtyard fight.
  EDIT SHARE
- Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest When Dr. Animo's squid-like mutant attacks with its tentacles on the ship, it is very similar to the Kraken sequences in Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest.
  EDIT SHARE
- Ditto: Appearance Ditto's appearance looks similar to Medicham from Pokémon, and the name is also the same as another Pokémon.
