Quotes Jax before pushing Gangle out of the way to get on the escalator out of the Gloink Queen's lair before her, "PILOT" Ladies first. No, wait, why would I say that?
Jax is one of the main characters (but was antagonistic in Episode 2) of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus, voiced by Michael Kovach. He is a lanky lilac rabbit with a monotone voice who is trapped in the Digital Circus along with five other victims.
Appearance Jax is an Anthropomorphic periwinkle[4] Cartoon Rabbit whose design elements evoke the look of rubber hose characters. He has long bunny ears on the top of his oval-shaped head, and his overall build is tall and slender, with a rather long neck. Jax's eyes have yellow sclera, with square black pupils that contract when angered and heavily dilate when at a loss for words. Jax's yellow teeth usually have a flat shape to them, but when his mouth is opened, his teeth appear sharp and jagged. Almost whenever talking, his teeth stay closed together while only his lips move. Jax has thin black eyebrows that appear in the majority of scenes. In "They All Get Guns", Jax has a small, spherical tail which previously he didn't.
Jax wears light, pink-colored overalls and pale-yellow gloves. His overalls have yellow buttons on them and also have a single lighter pink rectangular pocket on the front and lighter pink sections on the bottom hem of his overalls. He is usually barefoot.
Personality Jax is a mischievous, occasionally flat-out bloodthirsty, laid-back, calm, sassy, impulsive, egotistical, arrogant, sarcastic, and brazenly condescending individual, and rarely shows any empathy or remorse for those around him. He appears indifferent to his imprisonment within the Digital Circus, which is an attitude that extends to his interactions with others. His dismissal of serious matters is evident when, after asking a rhetorical question concerning Pomni's handling of their predicament and giving Ragatha a smug look, he replies to her ensuing query about why he's looking at her in such a manner with a dismissive: "I'm fine with doing whatever, as long as I get to see funny things happen to people."
Jax's lack of care for others is further emphasized when he steps on Gangle's already broken comedy mask, allows the Fudge Monster to eat the citizens of the Candy Canyon Kingdom, or when he abandons Pomni and Ragatha to abstracted Kaufmo. He pays little to no mind to the opinions of others and the group's consensus does not concern him. Rather than engaging authentically with the others, he seems to participate in the general activities of the Digital Circus only for his amusement, thus making him a bit of a trickster. Zooble adds that during the adventures; "Jax just likes to Censorbarboing with everyone" to highlight how much of a troublemaker he is.
Despite his occasional bouts of rash, impetuous behavior, like breaking a "Spare" sign for no reason, he normally maintains a calm and composed demeanor. Yet, his flattery is generally insecure and often borders on outright insult.
Arguably, Jax is inherently selfish, only spurred into action against the Gloinks when they begin to pester him. Even when the Gloink Queen accuses him of continuing to observe the unfolding events despite deeming them "dumb and weird", he responds by saying, "I'm only here to hide from the-" only to be interrupted by an abstracted Kaufmo abruptly crashing into the Gloink Queen's lair; his phrasing potentially insinuating a singular concern for his well-being. He also was the only one of the captives to not show up for Kaufmo's funeral, however he is shown to be briefly saddened by it before quickly snapping back to his normal attitude, showing that he does to some extent care for his friends and that his total lack of care for them is merely a front to avoid bonding. Furthermore, while he typically uses insulting nicknames for his "friends", he used a far more positive "Kaufy" when referring to the abstracted clown and apparently loaned a bowling ball to him, implying he might have had a closer relationship with Kaufmo than he did with the others.
He's also shown to have a fondness for bloodshed, combat, death, and chaos, as shown in episode 2 when he is severely disappointed at the lack of all of the above, before quickly being overjoyed upon realizing that the The Fudge was coming to destroy the Candy Canyon Kingdom and its residents, an act he purposefully incited by leaving the entrance unlocked, which gave him zero benefit besides personal happiness as the adventure was already completed. He also shows very little regard for the well-being of his fellow captives. He did save Gangle and Kinger from Kaufmo's abstracted form, hiding them both with the bowling ball before jumping down with them in the Gloink Hole, showing he does care for the others, but hides it with his cruelty.
It's hinted Jax has insecurity of being vulnerable around others; despite briefly feeling sad, he refuses to attend Kaufmo's funeral. It is also worth being noted that in episode 6, at the Favorite Character Awards, for a split second, you could see Jax's face getting emotional from Pomni's and his fight. He later entered the bathroom and started having a panic attack, but when coming out, his face was joyful and jestering. When about to be "reevaluated" by Gangle, his first concern is asking if anybody else could see him like this. Likewise, despite being utterly exhausted from his day at Spudsy's, he refused to stop smiling in front of the others and only let his exhaustion show when he was outside and alone. Jax does not like being the subject of ridicule as evident upon being dressed in a maid outfit, quickly becoming furious at Gangle for swapping his outfit and panicking excessively when Kinger sent him out to the baseball field filled with NPC spectators.
On TheWackyWatch.com during The Awards Show, Jax seems to be incredibly nauseous and proceeds to vomit following a sudden appearance by Zooble, implying that he is prone to vomiting when scared. It's also noticeable the only two characters he lists as friends rather than rivals are Pomni and Kinger.
On "Fast Food Masquerade", a whole different side to Jax seems to be shown, as after being subjected to an employee reevaluation by Gangle, his mischievous personality seems to fade with him wanting to get out of Spudsy's as soon as possible, and enters into a genuine conversation with Pomni. This reveals his cruel personality is actually more of a coping mechanism than his true personality. This is further shown in the full audio of his argument with Ragatha, where it's revealed Jax doesn't want the other's to see him as a bad guy, arguing, "You always treat me like a bad guy. I'm not really a bad guy." Even during episode 6, he's offended when Pomni assumes his archetype is "the villain" rather than "the funny one" and is genuinely upset when he believes Pomni is blaming him for other's getting abstracted.
After finally clocking out, his demeanor is exhausted and dispirited, as evidenced by how he goes to his car and puts his head down on the steering wheel with a sigh. He also was almost apologetic for breaking Gangle's mask, admitting this time it was an accident (showing when he doesn't mean to cause harm, he won't laugh at the other's misery) and later had a friendly conversation with Pomni and Kinger towards the end, showing he's capable of showing decency and friendliness towards the others.
This alternate perspective on Jax is further emphasized in the episode "Untitled" where Jax demonstrated senses of anguish, hesitancy, and frustration. During his conversation with Pomni in the mini-adventure "Stargazing," Jax said how he believe Gangle likes it when he pushes her around, to which Pomni reacts with surprise, as she had assumed Jax didn't care about what other people liked. Jax then reacted negatively when Ragatha brought up how he no longer have any real friends, because his friend who entered the circus with him abstracted, and, when Ragatha leaves apologetically, he confesses to Pomni his recognition of the predicament they are in within the circus and goes on a rant about how he dislikes Ragatha's behavior because her extreme positivity makes her appear fake and manipulative. He then proceeds to show visible distress in a discussion of character physique when Pomni mentions how she's never seen Jax with a tail. This scene shows how genuine Jax can become as a character, and that Jax actually has an incredibly high level of situational awareness. It affirms the fact that his malignant nature is just a facade for purpose of his own sanity, supported by him telling the others they take the circus way too seriously and it may even have been an act for the entertainment of others in the circus in an act to prevent further abstractions from occurring. We even see Jax go out of his way to bond with Pomni and even gets upset after Ragatha mentions how her mother abused her.
In "They All Get Guns" the aftermath of a lethal firearms battle royal reveals just how mentally scarred Jax truly is from his time in the Digital Circus, it also shows that Jax tries to think of the Circus members as characters with archetypes rather than people with emotions, to avoid feeling guilt when bullying them. When he and Pomni become a team during the game, Jax shows actual compassion towards her and even shares certain aspects of himself he never shown before, convincing her to put her timid demeanors aside, talking about his personal trypophobia fairly comfortably to the point having casual friendly interactions such as belting "Daisy Bell" together and holding hands at one point. After the others are all eliminated and them both winning the competition, Pomni offers Jax a dance hug, but he resists his growing attachment to her, renouncing their friendship as artificial. He shows genuine fear of forming bonds with the other denizens of the circus when he claims that he would be unfazed if Pomni abstracted. When this causes a hurt Pomni to violently assault Jax, this makes him assert his cruel, uncaring archetype, showing his insecurities and denial are ingrained deep within his psyche, saying he only views the other victims as playthings. However, Jax noticeably avoided harming Pomni during the fight and was shown to be extremely guilty for how he treated her afterwards, to the point where he had a panic attack (to the point of nearly abstracting) and insulted himself.
Biography Background Jax used to be a human in the real world with a different name, he entered the Circus one day upon putting on a VR headset. He befriended fellow circus member, Ribbit, but for one reason or another, Ribbit abstracted. The pain of losing someone close to him caused him to push everyone away, avoiding becoming close with people by any means necessary to prevent the pain of losing someone. This resulted in Jax becoming spiteful and bitter towards the other members.
Powers and Abilities Digital physiology: Jax is one of the trapped humans inside the digital world with his consciousness piloting a digital avatar. Because of this, he can perform abilities that are outside of the general range of normal human capabilities. Absolute Immortality: Because there is no conceivable way to die within the digital world and the fact that Caine cannot control the minds of those who are trapped within, there is currently no way that any of the human characters can or will die. With the closest alternative being "Abstraction." However, this may change in the future. Self-Sustenance: Jax, along with the other humans in the show, does not need to eat, sleep, or drink. However, they can still do these actions if they choose. 4th Wall Awareness: Unlike the other humans in the Circus, Jax is aware of the 4th wall and the fact that he is a cartoon character in the circus. He claims to use this as his "archetype" of the funny guy, but it is unknown how he has this awareness, or if he simply pretends he has it to fit in with his "archetype". Inhuman Physicality: Jax is constantly shown to be superior than the rest of the casts in physical terms, effortlessly overpowering them on a daily basis and doing acts that normally require improbable levels of strength, such as standing on the roof of a falling truck. Notably, Jax possesses incredible agility, in which he aims his gun on Ragatha's forehead while casually performing an aerial flip and dodging Zooble's bullet hell even after being knocked into a wall. Body Control: Jax can control his own body to exaggerated and toony ways similar to Pomni's rubber body, as shown when he massively extends the length of his arm to pull Gangle into the truck. Marksmanship: Jax is an exceptionally skilled marksman. Aside from capable of utilizing firearms with both hands, he is competent in precisely aiming at objects without looking and is seemingly the head shooter of team Bad Guy, proven by Pomni, a sharpshooter, quickly going defenseless after Jax is incapacitated by a flashbang from Zooble. After the battle royale, he confidently claimed that the competition "wasn't anything crazy".

Quotes W-Well, don't freak out about it or anything, but, uh, we don't exactly- Ragatha explaining to Pomni that there is no exit.
Ragatha is one of the main characters of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus, voiced by Amanda Hufford. She is a ragdoll character who is trapped in the Digital Circus along with five other victims.
Appearance Ragatha's appearance resembles that of a humanoid RagDoll with shoulder-length, yarn-like red hair in a long bob cut, black eyebrows, a flat, reddish-orange triangular nose, and a blue button as her right eye. She wears a mid-sleeve long blue dress (which often appears purple due to warm lighting)[2] with darker blue patches sewn on.
She wears a white, collared under-dress and a large bow in her hair that matches her dress. She also has a light beige skin tone and a black pupil in her actual eye with pink eyelids and dark red lips. Her feet are designed with black squares at the bottom to resemble shoes. When she holds her breath, her hair goes up in the air.
In Fast Food Masquerade, she wears a fast food uniform consisting a black visor, shirt, and apron.
In Untitled, she has many outfit changes. She appears in an anime style in a school jacket with yellow buttons and a blue, yellow, red logo on her left side. She sports a white under shirt along with a blue vest and bow and a blue skirt and high socks. In her noir style, she appears black and white and wears a black dress and a white pearl necklace-choker, and her bow appears gray.
In Episode 7, she wears a two piece blue bikini and she's not wearing her blue bow.
Personality Ragatha is described as "the sweetest little optimist."[3] However, this optimism isn't as simple as it looks, as she appears to be forcing a constant happy attitude to keep herself sane, brushing off grievous injuries and other serious incidents as nothing. Gangle mentioned that Ragatha can be perceived as being disingenuous with her optimism after a while. Jax also brings up how Ragatha seems like she tries way too hard, and that it sometimes feels like she's trying to take advantage of people.
She also appears to be forgiving, showing understanding for why Pomni left her behind as she ran away from the now-fully abstracted Kaufmo. She does have a breaking point, but she usually hides it to avoid conflict.
Ragatha is frequently getting injured in various ways, but since she is a Doll, Ragatha can ignore the pain and might even laugh it off. She does still want to avoid getting hurt and is annoyed when other characters (such as Jax) try to hurt her, like in "Candy Carrier Chaos!", where Jax urges Gangle to ram into the spiked truck of the Gummy Bandits (Gummigoo, Max, and Chad), causing Gangle to ram unwillingly into the spikes that ended up impaling Ragatha. However, she wasn't hurt, and later, the hole appeared healed.
Ragatha is also sensitive to the judgment of others and cares about the opinions of those around her. This is shown in "Candy Carrier Chaos!", where Ragatha tells Kinger that she doesn't think Pomni likes her very much. Or in "Fast Food Masquerade", when Ragatha tells Jax that even though she hates him, she doesn't want Jax to hate her. Ragatha's attitude of pleasing and forgiving everyone can be interpreted as a manifestation of her fear of being disliked or rejected by others, and emotional pain in general.
In "Candy Carrier Chaos!", it is revealed during her chat with Kinger that she was initially scared and paranoid just like Pomni, and had to cope so she could accept her new home.
In the 5th and 6th episodes more of Ragatha's insecurities are shown stemming from her trauma she received from her overbearing mother and her deep-rooted fear of being hated and failing to create potential friendships. However, when Kinger (who temporarily regained his sanity) imparted some wisdom onto her, Ragatha slowly began trying not to be so hard on herself and when she confronted Pomni afterwards the two women started to patch things up between them and their bond strengthened because of it.
Biography Background Before her arrival in the Amazing Digital Circus, Ragatha was an ordinary human with another name who was born into a fairly wealthy farming family. Ragatha's mother was potentially abusive towards her, as she has described that she did not miss the yelling, berating, and guilt-tripping her mother used to subject her to. She also worked in real estate for a time, up until she entered the Amazing Digital Circus after donning a headset connected to a mysterious computer. Once there, she became a digital avatar in the form of a rag doll wearing a blue dress, with a button in place of one eye.
"PILOT" (Episode 1) Ragatha is first seen at the beginning of the episode, in the introduction song. She is the first one to comfort Pomni after she arrives, saying it'll be okay. She gets paired with Jax and Pomni to go check on Kaufmo. She questions Jax's decision to pair Kinger and Gangle together, to which he brushes off her concerns.
Ragatha then shows Pomni The Tent, where Pomni questions why they even go on Caine's adventures, rather than finding an exit. Ragatha explains that there is no way to leave and that chasing an unattainable goal can make you go crazy, "[Causing] something terrible [to] happen to you." They then reach Kaufmo's room, and she rings the doorbell. After not being answered, Jax tells her to move aside, unlocking the door with his key. When they realize Kaufmo is abstracted, Ragatha tells Pomni that abstraction is the terrible thing that can happen. Afterward, Kaufmo starts to attack Ragatha, which causes her to receive a glitchy effect. She asks Pomni to help her, but when Pomni tries to, her hand sparks with glitches. She apologizes to Ragatha and runs off to get Caine.
Ragatha is seen again when Pomni runs back to her, apologizing to her again for leaving her there. Ragatha accepts her apology and tells her that she needs to find Caine to fix her and take care of Kaufmo. Then, Pomni runs off to find Caine yet again.
Ragatha then reappears at the end, crawling towards Caine, stating that she is in a lot of pain. Caine snaps his fingers, fixing Ragatha. She quietly walks towards Pomni, standing beside her but not saying anything. She can be seen at the end scene eating the digital feast with the other performers and chatting.
"Candy Carrier Chaos!" (Episode 2) In Episode 2, in Pomni's nightmare, Ragatha was calling for Pomni along with Caine and Jax, appearing as a silhouette while standing next to Caine and Jax, commenting on her said 'abstraction', after Pomni woke up, Ragatha then knocks on her door, asking how she slept. When Pomni doesn't respond, Ragatha assumes she's still asleep, but right as she is about to leave, Pomni opens the door. Ragatha happily greets her and tells her about a new fun adventure that Caine has planned for this episode.
In the next scene Ragatha is seen Standing with Pomni and Gangle, she was talking to Pomni and when Pomni asked her if their existence is just "LARPing" and before Ragatha could finish Caine cut her off, pushing all three of them into the portal to Candy Canyon Kingdom.
Teleported to the Candy Canyon Kingdom, the members are being taken by a carriage by a Gummy Elephant to the castle, Ragatha waves to the mannequins. Ragatha was admiring the kingdom. When Princess Loolilalu came out, Ragatha was complimenting her on her kingdom, after Princess Loolilalu stated she liked her already, Ragatha attempts to hype up Pomni, which results in Pomni just dismissing it as she states she's not a child that needs to be hyped up. Princess Loolilalu came down and then after recapping the mission and showing them the wartruck they'll be using to chase the bandits, Princess Loolilalu gave Ragatha the key to the kingdom.
In the next scene Ragatha was talking about what Pomni could do in the adventure when she was cut off by Jax who grabbed Pomni by the throat and tossed her out of the truck, which very much annoyed her. After Jax forced Gangle to be closer towards the bandits, it caused everyone except Jax's head to go flying around. After Ragatha and Kinger got a chance to stand up Ragatha had a knife impaled into her head, Kinger on the other hand had several, Ragatha later asked if everyone was okay. After Jax suggest ramming their truck into the bandit's truck Ragatha disagrees, stating that Pomni's still on the the roof of the enemy's truck. Jax simply pushes her away. Jax also mentions that if Gangle wont ram into them, he'll tell Ragatha about the 'figurine thing', implying that there is some figurine that Gangle doesn't want Ragatha to know about.
Following Gummigoo activating the spikes and Kinger threw the ship anchor over the bandit gang's truck, Ragatha gets impaled by one of the spikes. After the gang's truck gets thrown off a cliff, Ragatha asks if everybody's okay to which Gangle responds 'no'. After the disaster, Ragatha still thinks of Pomni, prioritizing her while being in quite the trouble as well. After The Fudge appears, Ragatha exclaims that they're not food when he attempts to eat them and their truck.
After The Fudge tells why he's banished from the Candy Kingdom, Ragatha calls it murder which then the Fudge tries to defend his actions by asking if its really murder if its delicious, to which Jax says it's a good point, but Ragatha disagrees. Ragatha gets very annoyed when Jax says her hair looks like licorice, then even more annoyed when Kinger says it actually does look like licorice, then to no one's surprise it turns out Jax stole the key from Ragatha, which makes her even angrier with him, then after Jax calls her "licorice hair" and Kinger puts a bucket on her head to cover the hair up, after said bandit truck lands off the cliff and Ragatha takes off the bucket off her head and is confused.
Back on the map, The Fudge carries the tanker and circus crew back to the kingdom, Max and Chad, who are both tied up, explain to Ragatha that Pomni and Gummigoo just disappeared. Kinger says if they don't find Pomni in time, Caine will have to find her. Ragatha expresses her worries that Pomni is having another horrible experience like the last adventure and that she doesn't like her. Kinger says it's a lot for everyone to go through, like when Ragatha first joined the circus, Ragatha is quite surprised that Kinger actually remembers that. After Pomni and Gummigoo come back, Ragatha asks Pomni if she's okay, after Pomni says she's fine.
While Jax is being disappointed about the lack of violence, Ragatha tries to cheer him up, yet he's still annoyed. When Pomni says that Gummigoo is coming with them to the circus and Ragatha doubts if NPCs are even allowed to go into the circus grounds. Pomni states it's the least she could do for him after his reality was shattered, back in the kingdom Princess Loolilalu congratulates the circus gang on the adventure being a success, also wishes them good luck with executing Gummigoo, since she assumed they were planning on doing so, Ragatha is shocked and worried when Jax says that he left the kingdom gates open.
After Gummigoo gets poofed out of existence and Caine leaves, Ragatha comforts Pomni, Ragatha offers Pomni to join Kaufmo's funeral. On Kaufmo's funeral she stated that the picture of Kaufmo was already making her cry, and she mourned afterwards.
"The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor" (Episode 3) Ragatha and the others were testing Pomni's special power when she holds her breath, after which Jax revealed that everyone’s bodies does something different with Ragatha's hair sticking up in her case. When the crew (minus Zooble) enters the Mildenhall Manor, Pomni and Kinger are separated from the others. Sometime later, she tied up Jax and met the ghost of Martha Mildenhall, drinking tea with her along with Gangle. Ragatha thanks Martha for a lovely time before leaving the dining room.
As the crew head towards the main entrance of the mansion, Ragatha pulls Jax in a red wagon where they have to wait for the others before leaving. Pomni and Kinger enter the hall though a secret passage, and Ragatha is pleased to see they are both alright.
When Pomni thanked Ragatha for being considerate to her and apologized for not being more appreciative until this point, the living doll was taken back then thanks Pomni for her kind words while reassuring her that the crew genuinely cares about her.
"Fast Food Masquerade" (Episode 4) The episode opens with Ragatha showing Gangle how to throw a baseball, with Jax commenting that she was wasting her time, and Ragatha snaps back at him to wait for a second. After Gangle learns the move, Ragatha encourages her, and Gangle throws the ball. However Jax hit the baseball with the bat and hit Gangle, breaking her comedy mask yet again. Ragatha asks her if she was okay, to which Gangle responds to with pain. Ragatha gets mad at Jax and asks him why he always had to do this, and Jax claims that his shot was inadvertent, to which Ragatha shouts that Jax is "unbelievable."
Later, after Caine set the cast's adventure at Spudsy's Restaurant, Ragatha gets the job of food packing. Before they begin work, Jax grabs Ragatha and throws her into the deep fryer to mock Gangle's manager attitude. However, Gangle contacts Caine and requests him to punish any employees who were not doing their jobs well, to which Caine agrees, and it stops Jax from harassing anyone further.
A blue NPC arrives at breakfast time and orders food from Pomni, who could not understand his distorted voice. Ragatha introduces the NPC as Orbsman, an NPC who was in one of the previous adventures before Pomni came into the circus.
Afterwards, a rude NPC orders a "Stupid Burger" and tells the cast to make sure that the "sauce that makes [one] stupid" is added to the burger, as the last time she ordered the burger they forgot to add the sauce. Ragatha prepares to put "stupid sauce" on the burger, only for the sauce to get squirted in her eye. The sauce causes her to have a hallucination of 'Normal' Gangle, and she suddenly goes high.
Later, when Pomni was hanging out so she could meet Gummigoo, Gangle suddenly finds her missing and asks Ragatha where she went. Ragatha drunkenly replies that Pomni's "flirting with the gummy guy," and she guessed Pomni "would rather be with an NPC than with [them]." As Gangle went to find Pomni, Ragatha drunkenly mutters, "I wish somebody flirted with me."
At lunchtime, Gloink Queen arrives with her Gloinks and places her order, and Pomni vanishes for a few moments to say goodbye to Gummigoo, who was leaving. As she disappeared, three Gloinks were brutally attacking an NPC, and Gloink Queen calls them by their names and tells them to leave the NPC alone. Ragatha sneaks in front of the register and drunkenly asks the Gloink Queen if all the Gloinks have names, to which Gloink Queen answers that she loves and cherishes and every Gloinks she gives birth to. Ragatha drunkenly replies, "That's beautiful."
While preparing the burgers for Gloink Queen, Ragatha goes extremely high and becomes unstable, and tries to grab "horseradish sauce." Zooble berates to Ragatha about not helping, and Ragatha drunkenly berates back to Zooble for being "a grouch." Zooble calls Gangle and tells tell her Ragatha maybe "huffed paint, or something." Gangle goes to reason with Ragatha, when she claimed "she was trying to get the "horseradish sauce" and drunkenly laughs, before becoming upset and muttering she "misses her horses."
Gangle tells Ragatha about not keeping up to her employee standard and saying she might "end up hurt later." Ragatha mumbles about "she's hurt enough, packages landing on [her] head, tea parties, dancing lessons." Gangle tries to reason with Ragatha about working together, to which Ragatha drunkenly replies that Gangle "is annoying when [she] has [her] happy mask," causing Gangle to crack further, and leaves the scene upset.
At dinnertime, Jax gets extremely tired of his job, and while walking, he bumps into Ragatha, who was lying drunkenly on the floor, and asks her to move. Ragatha replies that she hates him, but doesn't want him to hate her back, and asks him if that is weird. Jax glared at her for a moment before replying she's "drunk or something" and walks past her.
Later, in the backyard, when Pomni suggests Gangle that she should consult with Ragatha about her issues. Gangle answers that she loves Ragatha, but after a while, it gets hard to tell how genuine Ragatha's actually being.
At the almost end of the shift, Zooble tells Gangle that they will drive Ragatha to the circus and when her shift ended. Gangle replies "for one hour," and Zooble tells her that they will stick until then. After Zooble and Ragatha patches up everything after an hour, Zooble takes Ragatha and leaves. At the end of the episode, Ragatha was seen hanging out with her friends in the circus, still presumably high.
"Untitled" (Episode 5) After a wet journey, Ragatha returns to the circus, Gangle replaces her broken cheerful mask, and Zooble sits on the couch reading a magazine. When Pomni collapses to the ground, Kinger asks Ragatha for assistance counting eggs before they hatch and assures her that the next expedition will be less "wet."
After that, Caine switches the subject to a pitch meeting, pulling everyone but Zooble to the couches where he gives the group fresh ideas for some brand-new experiences. In the first, they destroyed his magical chocolate factory and were killed for a number of OSHA infractions. Another is a conflict between the US military and a sentient cardiovascular system. In another, a vicious psychic talking dog helps the group live in a nuclear wasteland after the end of the world.
These ideas cause Gangle's mask to fall apart and Ragatha believes everything sounds sinister.
In the adventure 'President Pomni', Ragatha is shown as Pomni's guard.
After Bubble appears and makes a distorted noise, a school slice of life anime is introduced. Ragatha along with the other five members appear in the intro.
When Jax complains, Ragatha tells him to give it a chance.
When the circus members are brought to the circus grounds at night, Jax asks Pomni if she believes Gangle is capable of being joyful every day. Pomni is baffled by this until Ragatha approaches and exposes Jax's cruel character. Ragatha "whispers" to her, "not anymore," in response to her questioning about his friend's quantity. Jax is affected by this and gives her a furious look in return. In a panic, she tries to apologize but gives up on the awkward scenario and heads to Kinger. When Pomni, who is now a third wheel, raises concerns about the scenario, Jax quickly brushes it off and asks, very solemnly for him, if Ragatha irritates her at times since she makes an excessive effort to be kind and upbeat to everyone regardless of their circumstances.
In Intermission Time , we see flashy animations of Ragatha and other characters.
Their next suggested adventure takes place in a pub, with Zooble as the bartender.
Ragatha and Kinger make it into the bar and Ragatha orders a cosmopolitan.
Ragatha takes her turn talking about her family's background, being born into a wealthy family with horses and poultry on a vast property, however her mother was 'a lot'. She worked in real estate before joining the circus, reasoning that her mother probably does not miss her and does not miss the verbal abuse she received. When she notices everyone's concerned reactions, she hurriedly sips her drink and describes the situation as typical of an average rural girl. Jax wraps his arm around Pomni, being 'excited' about the first steps of a budding friendship. When asked about it by him, Ragatha looks at him with a surprised face. She awkwardly gets the attention of Pomni, trying to make the moment of abstracted Kaufmo bashing her into the walls as a comical moment, only to realize it was likely actually traumatic for the jester. Jax reminds her of getting high at the fast food adventure and telling Gangle to kill herself, finding that amusing. Ragatha rejects the notion of her saying that, only to apologize to Gangle about it, she would never say it if not influenced.
They are transported to a softball stadium, where Caine and Bubble serve as commentators in the adventure Good Ol' Fashioned Softball. The circus performers are the Big Tops, who compete against the Evil Big Tops. Evil Ragatha is the counterpart of Ragatha, who is in the Evil Big Tops.
They all introduce themselves, with Ragatha perplexed by Gangle's lack of an evil clone
Ragatha is the first to bat, and her evil self laughs at her. Bazooble serves the ball, which Ragatha knocks right into Evil Pomni's hands, declaring her out and forcing Ragatha to hurl her hat on the ground in frustration. Jax finds he gets along with Evil Pomni because they both like mocking Ragatha.
Ragatha regrets hitting the ball, but apologizes to Pomni for her terrible behavior. Pomni informs her that she implicitly agrees with Jax that it is acceptable to express bad feelings and that everyone needs to be a jerk on sometimes. Ragatha responds hesitantly to this.
Ragatha partially breaks and tells Jax to stop attempting to make Pomni act like him, arguing that making her happy all the time would be preferable to turning her into a jerk. Pomni tries to undermine them both by claiming she can think for herself. Jax rejects the notion that he is putting his values on her, prompting Ragatha to chastise him for pretending everyone likes him when he truly ruins everything. Pomni tries to calm everyone down, but Ragatha reminds her that this behavior is occasionally acceptable. She apologizes again for her wicked temperament and is accepted.
Pomni stands next to the bat, but asks Ragatha if she wants to take another chance. Ragatha accepts and comes onto the field to bat, but nothing happens. Caine scores yet another home run, and the Big Tops triumph. Ragatha disputes the propriety of this, but Caine defies the rules and declares it done. Evil Ragatha and Evil Pomni are furious over their defeat, irritated that they did not get to bat. Ragatha looks back at Jax before being picked up by a jubilant Kinger over the team's victory.
Pomni finds amusement in this, but stops showing it when looked at by Ragatha.
Ragatha returns through the portal into the circus tent. After other's opinions, everybody leaves and Ragatha is left alone. Being jealous of Pomni and Jax's forming friendship, then she walks off in her own way.
Powers and Abilities Digital physiology: Ragatha is one of the trapped humans inside the digital world with her consciousness piloting a digital avatar. Because of this, she can perform abilities that are outside of the general range of normal human capabilities. Immortality: Because there is no conceivable way to die within the digital world and the fact that Caine cannot control the minds of those who are trapped within, there is currently no way that any of the human characters can or will die. With the closest alternative being "Abstraction". However, this may change in the future. Self-Sustenance: Ragatha, along with the other humans in the show do not need to eat, sleep, or drink. However, they can still do these actions if they choose. Invulnerability: Nothing in the digital world can cause life long lasting damage to any individual in the amazing digital circus. With Ragatha surviving multiple scenarios that would certainly kill any normal human and recovering from them with no marks and/or scaring. Hair Straightening: When holding her breath, Ragatha's hair will stick up, similar to a cartoon character being struck by electricity. Trivia Her name is a portmanteau of "RagDoll" and the feminine name "Agatha." When she is happy, her eyebrows sometimes appear. Speaking of which, she has mentioned petting kitty cats is one of the few things which make her happy in "A Very Special Digital Circus Song". Ragatha's design is heavily inspired by Raggedy Ann from the 1977 animated film Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure directed by Richard Williams (planned by Abe Levitow), as well as the original stories of the same name by Johnny Gruelle.[4][5] According to Twitter, Gooseworx has an unhealthy obsession with the Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure film. Before Ragatha's first reveal, she frequently posted about the film and elements related to it, such as Raggedy Ann's younger brother, Raggedy Andy.[4] In the fourth episode, Fast Food Masquerade, Ragatha quotes one of Raggedy Andy's lines in the song No Girl's toy, which is "Hurt nothin'! I've been hurt enough! Packages landing on my head, tea parties, dancing lessons". It is unknown whether she actually had to deal with these things or if she is simply quoting the movie. Unlike Pomni, Gooseworx initially refused to reveal Ragatha's age, claiming she had learned her lesson. However, Gooseworx soon stated that she is older than Pomni,[6] who is 25 years old, and later specified that Ragatha is 30.[1] Gooseworx has confirmed Ragatha has been in the circus the second longest next to Kinger.[7] Ragatha's only real fear is a fear of centipedes[8] (chilopodophobia), which Jax loves to mischievously exploit. When Gooseworx was asked why Ragatha seemed angry at Pomni by the end of the Pilot for not helping her when she had previously said that she understood if Pomni wouldn't, Gooseworx responded by saying Ragatha would say "things she doesn't necessarily mean if she thinks it'll ease tensions."[9] In the next episode, "Candy Carrier Chaos!", Ragatha doesn't seem to hold any form of grudge. In fact, she is concerned for Pomni for what she has been through since entering the circus and thinks doesn't like her due to the entire ordeal. While sitting in the halls after the abstracted Kaufmo had attacked her, Ragatha's eyes and nose bounce around for a short moment while speaking to Pomni. The way they do so is very reminiscent to the video game Pong. This detail was added in by lead animator, Kevin Temmer. He wasn't sure if Gooseworx would be cool with it initially, since it wasn't present in the storyboards, but said she loved it. Gooseworx expressed that out of all the main characters, Ragatha is the least fun for her to draw.[10] Ragatha's original name was Emmy, but was later changed to Ragatha.[11] Gooseworx confirmed on Tumblr that Ragatha likes horses.[12] "Fast Food Masquerade" also confirms that she owned horses before getting trapped. Ragatha can play the cello.[13] Ragatha can see out of her button eye.[14] Ragatha is the only character to have a nose. Ragatha deals with stressful situations by internalizing.[15] When she holds in her breath, her hair sticks up as confirmed by Jax in "The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor". In "Untitled", it is hinted that Ragatha hasn't seen/heard of Breaking Bad. Ragatha kept the Stupid Sauce from "Fast Food Masquerade", as in "They All Get Guns", Zooble asks Ragatha if she still has it and can be seen using it in the last part of the episode.

Quotes Pomni is the main protagonist of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus. She is voiced by Lizzie Freeman and made her first appearance in the pilot episode. Taking the form of a cartoon jester while trapped inside the Digital Circus with five other victims, she is the most recent human to enter after putting on a headset.
Appearance Pomni is a stylized humanoid character, with a large head, small, slim limbs and white skin. Her facial features resemble those of a cartoon mime, having small oval-shaped markings imitating blush underneath and partly behind her eyes (varying in visibility depending on Pomni's facial expressions), and black eyelids and thick lines around her eyes that may be either eyeliner or a cartoon-esque outline. Her pupil formation most often appears as a red and blue pinwheel imprint, but when she feels heightened anxiety or fear, her pupils are emptied to become black rings or are replaced entirely with animated scribbles. She has asymmetrical eyelashes, with her left eye having eyelashes on the top eyelid and her right eye having eyelashes on the bottom. She has short, straight medium black hair (which often appears brown due to lighting)[6], with two small nuggets poking out from under her hat and two locks of hair formulating the flanks of her body.
Her ensemble resembles that of a jester, rather than that of a circus clown like Kaufmo. She wears a red and blue jumpsuit and shorts, both with round, poofy sleeves. The torso part of the jumpsuit features dual colors in a mirrored/reverse design for the front and back, with blue (right) and red (left), and vice versa respectively, with her sleeves and shorts being striped. She has additional yellow accents, being a pair of spheres on her front torso (which could resemble pom-poms or buttons), round shapes (which could resembles bands or comically large rings) around her sleeves, upper thighs/waist, and shorts, and a shirt collar, implying an undershirt. On her head, she wears a matching striped, two-armed jester's hat, with a yellow brim and small, yellow bells on the tips of the hat's elbows, which all of us never see separated from her head. She also wears gloves, with the left one being blue, and the right being red. Inverse to this, her left shoe is red, and her right shoe is blue—both pairs having the same yellow accents as the ones on her clothing that are parts of her gloves and shoes, both at her wrists and ankles respectively.
Personality Initially, Pomni has a high-strung, shy, and tense demeanor. In the pilot episode, she is shown to be extremely anxious and troubled regarding her predicament, even succumbing to denial and exhibiting signs of delusion. When she finds the "exit", she experiences moderate signs of paranoia and seems to believe she is hallucinating. She's also on the clumsy side, as she tends to accidentally bump into things and people.
In her initial appearance, Pomni is shown to have a degree of both empathy and selfishness, as she goes back to check on Ragatha after the latter was attacked by an abstracted Kaufmo and promises Ragatha that she'd find Caine to fix her. However, Pomni's desire to escape the digital circus overrode this, as she entered the exit door upon finding it and left Ragatha behind. She later felt remorse for this action once Ragatha was fixed by Caine.
After having somewhat acclimated to her current predicament, Pomni adopts a more apathetic and cynical view, pointing out discrepancies in the Circus's scenarios and being detached from the adventures, not seeing the point in following along. She also seems to be more hot-tempered as she yells at the gang (specifically Jax) for their plans leaving her in mortal peril. Despite this, Pomni seems rather compassionate as she comforts and bonds with Gummigoo during his existential crisis, encouraging him by telling him he still has purpose and even inviting him to follow her back to the Circus. Overtime Pomni grew closer to the others after seeing how much they cared for each other during Kaufmo's funeral, and after receiving sound advice from Kinger (who temporarily regained his sanity), she thanked Ragatha for always being considerate to her and apologized for not showing appreciation until that moment.
Later in Episode 4, she seems to have adapted more to being in the circus and is more comfortable interacting with the other denizens of the circus. She becomes startled when she sees Gummigoo again but doesn't breakdown, she enters normal conversations with people like Jax, and shows concern for Gangle, asking if anyone could help her with her issues. She even offers to stay behind to close the restaurant when she sees that Gangle is sad.
By Episode 5, her anxiety and apathetically cynical views are almost completely gone, chuckling on a few occasions as well as showing much more interest in the adventures. Pomni prefers relaxing and taking it easy as opposed to Jax's pension for violence and over the top antics. Pomni had started to open up more to the others, shown an interest in getting to know them all better and truly desires they would all get along. She even tries to help Jax and Ragatha with their own issues, as well as trying to calm a feud between them and later accepts Jax's offer to check out whatever he saw in the hallway.
In Episode 6, Pomni has grown more confident and calmer in certain situations. She was opposed to participating in the latest adventure because it involved shooting her friends but after some convincing from Jax, Pomni adopts an "evil" persona and starts to enjoy playing alongside Jax. Pomni begins to show an interest in getting to know Jax and makes comments about his fear of corn. However, when the shooting game ended, she became hurt when Jax refused to acknowledge he cared for her and destroyed the potential bond they formed. This caused to her to unleash all her pent-up rage on Jax first by berating him and calling him out for not showing compassion towards others then attacking him yelling at him to fight back; when that failed, she became dejected. Afterwards she threw away her evil personality and focused more on her friendship with Ragatha thereby mend things between them after the rough patch they had recently. Although Pomni was still very upset with Jax, she is obviously concerned about him.
Biography Background Before her arrival in the Amazing Digital Circus, Pomni was an ordinary 25-year-old woman of another name. She worked as an accountant for a supermarket chain. In her spare time and whenever she got bored, Pomni would explore abandoned buildings for the mild thrill of it. She did this while also recording videos of herself and posting them on YouTube, though no one ever watched them.
"PILOT" (Episode 1) During the introduction of the show, a female jester suddenly appears in the Circus and disrupts the song (and also breaks Gangle's comedy mask by accident). It's quickly revealed she was once a human from Earth (implied to be wearing a headset the entire time when she gets transported). However, she is informed by the other characters that she wasn't the first, as the other characters were also from Earth before teleporting to the Circus and is also reassured that she will get used to her new home and body.
Still fearful, confused, and desiring to leave, Caine starts introducing the jester to The Tent where everyone lives, The Grounds for adventures outside of the tent, and the "mysterious" Void (which Caine advises her to not venture to) by teleportation. The jester notices an exit door, but Caine changes the subject to her name (he brushes it off as a "digital hallucination"). After the jester becomes disoriented again because of forgetting her name, Caine shows some powers limit and decides to give her a new name, that being Pomni. Caine declares a brand-new in-house adventure, to help Pomni get used to the place, that being to gather the Gloinks infested in The Tent, small critters that stick to anything they bump into.
Not long after the adventure starts, Zooble decides to quit it early but gets disjointed and captured by the Gloinks. Back to the rest of the members, Ragatha suggests going check on Kaufmo with Pomni since he is unaware of the newbie's appearance, however, Kinger reports him going insane, rambling about some form of exit like Pomni. Jax proclaims that he, Ragatha, and Pomni should go check with Kaufmo while Kinger and Gangle help save Zooble, which concerns Ragatha a bit.
Ragatha introduces Pomni to their dormitory & quarters where they sleep, but since they aren't human anymore, they don't need human essentials to live on and talks about how if a character goes insane then "something really terrible" will happen to them, which traumatizes Pomni. They reach Kaufmo's room, and after an aggressive exchange between Ragatha and Jax, they open the door to see Kaufmo now horribly disfigured into a monstrous black mass creature with rainbow eyes (the "something real bad" Ragatha mentioned), who damages Ragatha to the point of her glitching up, Kaufmo then chases after Pomni while Jax runs away with a bowling ball. The monster then crashes through the railings and chases a Gloink next, allowing Pomni to talk with Ragatha. They conclude that only Caine can help them. She goes off to find him, opening a bunch of doors leading to random and surreal-looking rooms while avoiding monster Kaufmo, before finding the exit door which is generated out of thin air.
She enters the door only to find herself trapped in an almost realistic-looking office labyrinth that she gets lost in, a place that is oddly out of place from the more colorful environment she finds herself in. The exit door then disappears out of thin air. The scene cuts back to the nest, the Gloink Queen expresses her plans to turn anything and everything into all Gloinks like herself and the rest of her nest when Kaufmo crashes down and begins attacking the Gloink Queen, releasing Zooble and allowing the other characters to leave. Pomni meanwhile still tries to find the end of this labyrinth, coming across an old computer along with a rusted-out VR headset before going through a door with the logo of a company called "C&A" marked above (presumably the company that developed the game or warping technology). She is then led to the Void and falls into a state of trance by it.
Caine and Bubble are in a restaurant when Caine sees on his Wacky Watch that someone is now in the void and rushes to take Pomni back to the tent. He then realizes that Kaufmo became abstracted and casually drops him through a custom-made hole that leads him to "The Cellar", a place where those abstracted ended up. Caine then reverts Ragatha's glitched state back to normal. He apologizes for lying about the exit door and that he wasn't capable of thinking about what to put on the other side of it, he warns the group that the Void could be disastrous for them. As a reward for finishing their adventure, Bubbles has made them a feast to feel more like they're at home. Pomni, still in awe and disbelief from today, tries to keep her cool as she is about to lose her sanity while at the dinner table with the rest.
"Candy Carrier Chaos!" (Episode 2) At the beginning of the episode, Pomni has a nightmare in which she starts showing signs of abstraction. She then falls into the Cellar as Caine, Ragatha, and Jax look on, expressing dismissive disapproval, before waking up. She wakes up in a panic before clipping onto an ABC block that causes her to be catapulted across her bedroom.
Ragatha checks up on Pomni and tries to be supportive on her adventure to the Candy Canyon Kingdom, but Pomni is still in a sour mood as she concludes that the rest of her life is going to be LARPing. The seemingly Medieval Princess Loolilalu provides the humans a Mad-Max style war rig (which confuses Pomni) to track down Gummigoo's bandit gang and take back a maple syrup tanker that they stole.
The two factions quickly encounter each other, and a high-speed battle ensues. Jax tosses Pomni at the bandits, causing her to get stuck on their truck (Max attempts but fails to capture Pomni due to his tiny arms). Kinger tries to throw objects at Pomni to assist her, but when he throws an anchor that's attached to the war rig it results in a collision between the two vehicles. Pomni and Gummigoo end up getting wedged underneath a cliffside, causing both to clip and fall into the Test Level.
Gummigoo has a near mental breakdown after finding his test model, but Pomni tries to explain to him that he is an NPC. Gummigoo realizes that being an NPC means that his past is fake and that his existence is meaningless. Pomni comforts him by offering to bring him back to The Circus so that he can live a more meaningful life and because she wants him as a friend. Gummigoo calms down and the two manage to use the block glitch to drive the test copy of the syrup truck back to the Kingdom (with the truck falling onto The Fudge's head, temporarily knocking him out).
Pomni informs the other humans of her intentions to bring Gummigoo back to The Circus. However, when he enters The Circus, Caine immediately causes him to explode into confetti with a snap of his fingers. Pomni is devastated over this and almost goes crazy, until Ragatha asks Pomni to attend Kaufmo's funeral. During the funeral, Pomni sees that the other humans (with the exception of Jax who refused to attend) do care deeply about each other. Remembering her nightmare, she envisions that her new friends will support her, even in the worst of times and the jester makes a small yet hopeful smile.
"The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor" (Episode 3) The episode starts with Pomni hanging out with the rest of the cast, holding her breath for a prolonged period of time. After exhaling the breath she was holding, she asks why it is that she's even doing this. To which Jax explains that everyone has a different reaction to holding their breath. Ragatha's hair sticks up into the air, Gangle's mask starts spinning, and Kinger begins to glow. Once more attempting to hold her breath, it's revealed that Pomni's reaction to holding her breath for long enough is that her face begins to change color.
Soon enough, Caine shows up, asking what they were all doing before introducing their next adventure. "The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor", centering around a haunted house that they all must explore through, once everyone (except for Zooble) enters through the portal to their next adventure, Pomni expresses her dislike towards horror, this being shown to us when she is startled by Ghostly so badly that her eyes fall out of her head cartoon-style. Kinger attempts to help her get them back in while Caine's voice as well as Ghostly explain how there are two paths that they can go down. The "Pacifist Route" and the "Mature Route". Jax, wanting to test the validity of such, grabs Gangle's comedy mask and throws it down the mature route, revealing a monstrous mouth as the route's true entrance.
Kinger, in an attempt to grab the mask, jumps through the door, accidentally pulling Pomni with him due to still having a hold of one of her eyes. Now trapped in the "Mature Route", Pomni and Kinger must work together, listening to audio tapes created by a man named Baron Theodore Mildenhall that speak of a monster who's been haunting his life.
Managing to find a key to a nearby elevator after scavenging through the various drawers, the lights end up going out, leaving both Pomni and Kinger in complete darkness. Listening to more of Mildenhall's tapes, the beast who had been chasing them eventually reveals itself, beginning to chase them. Pomni attempts to escape while Kinger, being drawn to the monster's eldritch appearance, has to be pulled away and snapped out of it by the jester before he ends up being consumed by the skin of their teeth. Using the key she acquired earlier, the two get into the elevator, but instead of going up as they expected, ends up leading them further down into the manor.
Now trapped in an even lower level of the manor, Pomni and Kinger find another tape created by Mildenhall, revealing that he had shot his wife in a fit of insanity, Pomni and Kinger discover Mildenhall's corpse, sitting there with a gun hanging loosely off it. Realizing the value it could serve them in slaying the beast, Pomni anxiously retrieves the gun before handing it to Kinger. Upon the beast entering the area, Kinger manages to shoot both its head and its body, saving both him and Pomni from being killed.
However, to the shock of both Pomni and Kinger, the tape playing Mildenhall's audio reveals that the beast was actually an angel and then killing it meant that they would be dragged down to hell. Hands emerge from the floor, dragging the both of them down below even further into the manor.
Now trapped in hell, Pomni has had just about enough, attempting to run through it as quickly as possible to escape despite Kinger's warnings. Being possessed by one of the spirits trapped down there, Pomni begins to contort, face growing horrifying and limbs twisting in unnatural directions. Kinger immediately gets on the offensive, attacking the spirit and managing to boot it out of Pomni's head.
Pomni, now in a state of incredible distress, begins to have a breakdown, Kinger suggesting that they take a moment to pause. Pomni begins to vent about her time in the circus, stating that she hates the adventures she has been forced to go on and the emotional turmoil it has caused her to cry. Kinger responds sympathetically, apologizing for the fact that he inadvertently causes them to be trapped down this route. Pomni takes note of this, pointing out how Kinger has been acting differently lately. Kinger acknowledges this, revealing that the dark allows him to think more clearly. From there he explains how he used to have a wife (presumed to be Queenie, a female, black queen chess piece) who ended up abstracting, stating that the two ended up in Kinger's pillow fort together and that the darkness seemed to calm her down enough for him to touch her before she was sent away into the cellar, Pomni expresses shock at the revelation that Kinger even had a wife, rhetorically asking if he really did have one in the circus, to which Kinger confirms.
Kinger then tells Pomni how important it is to keep the good memories she has close to her and that it's important to be thankful towards others and to make sure they feel wanted, causing Pomni to start thinking about her treatment of Ragatha over the past few days she's been at the circus.
From there, Kinger has a revelation, recalling the previous tape and how the spirits are only able to possess you if you're breathing. He suggests that maybe they could get through if they don't breathe. Pomni responds by stating that she is not very good at holding her breath, calling back to the beginning of the episode, Kinger suggests trying not to think about it. Pomni stutters for a moment before lamenting how the moment they leave, Kinger will go back to his usual crazy ways and forget any of this ever happened, Kinger responds by saying how as long as she remembers, that's all that matters.
From there, Kinger offers out his hand, which Pomni takes and together, the two of them walk through hell, holding their breaths. Once more calling back to the beginning of the episode, Kinger begins to glow, just as Jax stated, serving as a shining light as the two walked through the area together.
Escaping hell and making it back to the top of the mansion, Pomni and Kinger meet up with Ragatha, Jax, and Gangle. Ragatha asks if they're doing okay and if their adventure was scary, to which Pomni affirms that she was fine. Seeing Jax's bound state, Pomni asks what happened, to which Ragatha just tells her not to worry about it. Kinger, returning to his forgetful state, says that Pomni was very brave, before beginning to question himself, asking the jester girl if she was, Pomni responds by saying it was something like that.
Approaching Ragatha and getting her attention, Pomni thanks her for always being concerned about her and that she feels she hasn't been appreciative enough about it. Ragatha, showing clear surprise, thanks her, saying that everyone really cares about her (eliciting an eyeroll from Jax).
Having completed the adventure, Pomni, Kinger, Jax, Gangle, and Ragatha, all return to the circus, being greeted by Caine. Pomni watches Kinger crawl back into his pillow fort, Jax, having been released from his bonds, asks her what it was like being stuck with him, clearly expecting the jester to lament how horrible it was. Yet Pomni would respond by saying that it wasn't that bad. This causes Jax to roll his eyes, then he walks off leaving a contented Pomni alone to with new understanding.
"Fast Food Masquerade" (Episode 4) Pomni first arrives in this episode as she walked into Zooble's room along with Jax and Ragatha, where Zooble was handing out Gangle a new mask. Jax mocks Zooble about "giving their parts away", to which Zooble snaps that they are not giving anything to him. Jax then jokes to Pomni that she is "never gettin' that unicorn horn", to which Pomni questions when she said anything about that. Gangle, wearing her new mask, compliments that Pomni would "look good with one", to Pomni was about to agree until they were all interrupted by the arrival of Caine.
Caine announced the new adventure, "The Curse of the Violent Psychopath Butcher", another horror adventure. While instructing about the adventure, Pomni interrupts him and asks him if they can "chill with the horror" as she doesn't "want this to be like last time". Zooble asks if she was talking about the adventure made for them earlier, and Pomni recounts the horrifying experiences at the Mildenhall Manor, making Zooble frustrated and Caine telling them to pick out a new adventure. With Zooble's advice, Caine started to look through the suggestion box, and finally came up with an adventure where the cast works at a fast-food restaurant (as suggested by Gangle). Caine approves this adventure at Spudsy's Restaurant, with Gangle as the shift manager.
At the restaurant, Pomni takes the role of the cashier. She is encountered by the first customer, a blue NPC who speaks with a distorted voice. Ragatha said that the NPC was Orbsman, an NPC from a previous adventure before Pomni arrived in the circus. Orbsman gives Pomni order through his distorted voice, which Pomni understands and places the order.
Pomni is then encountered by a rude NPC, who calls her a "little jester" and orders a "Stupid Burger". The NPC tells Pomni to make sure the "stupid sauce" is added to the burger this time as the last time she ordered the sauce wasn't there. Pomni gets confused about the order but places it nevertheless.
Pomni is then encountered by her old friend Gummigoo and his friends, whose memory had been wiped due to Caine deleting him back in the second episode. She gets excited to see Gummigoo, stuttering and talking nonsense. Pomni tries to stalk Gummigoo, only for him to catch her, and she said she "wanted to say hi". Gummigoo tells her "Hi" back and asks if they know each other, much to Pomni getting upset. She was then interrupted by Gangle, who tells she "needed her at the register" and to "stop weirding the customers out". Pomni replies about Gummigoo and whether the job can't wait a bit, as the adventure isn't real. Gangle sarcastically replies that the next Pomni might say is "her authority isn't real". Pomni gives her plain look which said that she indeed did think Gangle's authority isn't real, causing Gangle to crack. She later told Pomni to remove the breakfast menu as it's lunchtime.
At lunchtime, Pomni was dealing with a bunch of NPCs, including one refusing to order because he already had a bowl of cereal with him, when they were all eaten by the Gloink Queen, who ordered 300 cheeseburgers for her and her Gloinks. Pomni suddenly notices Gummigoo and his friends leaving and asks the Gloink Queen to give her a second. She goes to Gummigoo and thanks him for eating at Spudsy's. Gummigoo bids her farewell, leaving her upset but dealing with her loss. After Gloink Queen and her Gloinks leave at dinnertime, Pomni starts muttering about "more info on Gloink information than she ever needed to know". After a while, Jax, who was getting tired of his job, nicely asks Pomni how she was doing, much to her surprise and replying she's "doing fine". Gangle then calls Jax to wash the dishes and he departs saying "Later, Pomni".
While Pomni was taking out the trash, Gangle appears in the backyard, takes off her normal mask and screams due to her cracking under the pressure. Pomni asks if she was okay and if the mask is not making her happy. Pomni suggests her to talk to someone about her issues, especially Ragatha, to which Gangle replies that she loves Ragatha but after a while it gets hard to tell how genuine Ragatha's actually being. Pomni wanted to talk more, but Gangle put back on her normal mask and tells her that they can't spend all night talking about their feelings, and they've got work to do.
At the almost end of the shift, Gangle gets extremely depressed under pressure and was on the brink of losing her mind. Pomni, about to end her shift at Spudsy's, offered Gangle to swap roles and close down the restaurant in her stead while she heads back home, telling her that she doesn't "have to be stuck here alone." Gangle accepts, leaves the restaurant, and Pomni remains behind, commenting "What a weird day".
Later, Pomni appears on one of the post-it notes Caine hung in his office as he is giving Gangle her final score for the day's adventure. In the picture within her note, she is seen crawling towards Gummigoo.
At the end of the episode, she was seen hanging out with her fellow circus mates.
"Untitled" (Episode 5) The episode starts with Pomni, Kinger, Ragatha, Gangle, and Jax returning from an unknown adventure which involved water, seaweed/kelp, and eggs. After arriving in the circus, Pomni suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed briefly, also becoming aware that a mannequin was spying on them.
Later, Caine summoned the group to discuss future adventure ideas. Caine suggested several dark-themed adventures, which the group rejects. Zooble suggested that they do an adventure from the suggestion box again, as it went well for them and Pomni, however not to Ragatha, Gangle and Jax. Zooble further suggested to keep Caine's adventures open at all times, so they can do what they want. Therefore, Caine sets up "Lightning Round", which will contain sets of adventures from the suggestion box.
According to Jax's suggestion, Pomni became the titular character of "President Pomni" adventure. Kinger, taking the role of President's assistant, informs Pomni that there are new developments in the ongoing war between Australia and New Zealand, and they may need to take in some refugees. Seeing Pomni confused, Kinger shows her a brief and informs Pomni that if she didn't have one, she has to tap into "golden improv skills". Off-screen, Jax tells her that he didn't give her a brief because he wanted to see what she'd do. Jax later enters the President's office under the guise of an Australian extremist and threatens to detonate a bomb that'll release the world's deadliest spiders. Pomni was assigned to defuse the bomb, with her complaining why the president doesn't have a bomb squad, followed by Ragatha encouraging her. To make matters worse, Jax tries to distract her temporarily. Both fortunately and unfortunately, the adventure ends as Gangle comes in posing as a New Zealand extremist to detonate another bomb, and her bomb exploded.
According to Gangle's suggestion, the team found themselves in a slice-of-life anime thematic adventure, where Jax becomes bored of this adventure, and tells Pomni about Gangle drawing anime and actually dragging them into one, and that Gangle is a loser. Pomni reminds him that he threw her out of a moving truck. The adventure ended when Jax tried to expose a secret of Gangle.
In the "Stargazing" adventure, Pomni and Jax laid on the ground as they gazed the stars in the sky, with Jax complaining he needs a bite to his adventures as he got turned into a vegan in the very first adventure of "Lightning Round". Jax noticed Gangle and Zooble's bond, and Pomni noted that she didn't know Jax cared about what other people liked, causing him to get confused. Later Pomni asks him if he had real friends, and Ragatha replied that he doesn't anymore, causing Jax to become extremely angry and Ragatha apologizing, much to Pomni's confusion. Pomni asked Jax what that was about, but Jax refused to answer and asks her if Ragatha gets on her nerves and complains about Ragatha's optimistic attitude. While chatting, Pomni unexpectedly bonded with Jax.
In the bar themed adventure, Jax asks Pomni if she had any jobs, and she revealed that she used to be an accountant of a supermarket chain. Jax asks her how she ended up there, and Pomni replies that she sometimes got bored and would seek out mild thrills, like exploring abandoned buildings, and posting videos about them online. Jax asks her if she was a YouTuber, and she replies that not really as nobody watched her videos and she did them for herself. Jax unexpectedly apologizes to her for setting her the president adventure. Seeing Jax and Pomni bonding, Ragatha gets jealous and tries to remind Pomni the events of Kaufmo in the first episode and asks her if it was funny. Pomni pointed out it wasn't funny, causing Ragatha to go unstable for a while.
In "Good Ol' Fashioned Softball" adventure suggested by Ragatha, the group faced off with their evil counterparts (except the fact that Gangle did not have her own evil counterpart and was replaced by Evil Orbsman instead). At one point, being frustrated by Jax's behavior, the rest of the team (excluding Pomni) decides to humiliate him by dressing him up as a maid. Later, Ragatha was out of the game when Evil Pomni caught the ball, and she sat beside Pomni, complaining about how she supposed to be better than that. Pomni points out that it is okay to let out negative emotions and be a jerk sometimes. Afterwards, Jax started mocking Gangle, causing Ragatha to get angry and storm at him. Pomni tries to calm both of them down, followed by Ragatha unexpectedly shouting at her and later apologizing to her. Pomni seemed to be amused by Jax acting feral towards Evil Jax, but immediately tries to act speechless even though Ragatha saw her reaction with a look of fasination and pension.
After returning from the adventure, Jax offered to show Pomni something, which Pomni agreed to, much to Ragatha's jealousy.
"They All Get Guns" (Episode 6) The episode starts with Pomni and Jax walking while having a conversation, as one of Zooble's parts falls on the ground, to reveal Zooble hiding in a flower pot. Pomni asks what Zooble's doing in a flower pot, and Zooble replies that Caine has an in-house adventure planned, and they don't want to be part of it. Pomni asks as to why Zooble would hide in a flower pot instead of their room, to which they reply that Caine sings "Daisy Bell" whenever she doesn't answer. Jax then brings Caine, and informs him about Zooble's whereabouts.
Caine then announces the adventure as a team adventure to show the characters' strengths for the Award Show, that the characters will be playing sports invented by them. Zooble complains, and Caine responds that he doesn't know what they want, to which Zooble and Pomni respond that they like more relaxing adventures. Ragatha asks Pomni if she didn't like her softball adventure, to which Pomni responds she isn't into sports.
After some drama, Caine decides to change the adventure to a gun battle royale, where everyone has guns, and there are three teams with two members each. Pomni asks to be on a team with Ragatha, but she responds that she needs to be with Kinger, to avoid having him be with Jax, as a result, Pomni decides to go on a team with Jax to "keep him in check." As the group started, the guns disappear, and Caine responds that they have appeared in random locations in the Circus, and that the characters need to find them.
As Pomni and Jax finds their guns, Pomni asks for Jax to do all the killing, to which Jax responds that the Circus isn't real, and that there's no point in trying to act nice when the entire adventure is to shoot each other, to which Pomni responds she doesn't want to hurt anyone. Jax then lies to Pomni that they aren't people, and are instead just cartoon characters who fall into "archetypes," and he's the funny one, so, convinced, Pomni decides to just let loose of her inhibitions, assisting Jax in the shooting and eliminating Kinger, Gangle, and Zooble.
As the two winners left, Pomni hugs Jax, which immediately puts him into self-defence mode, he lies to Pomni that they aren't a team, and that he was only doing it because it was funny. Pomni starts a fight with Jax, pointing out that he's lying about not starting to form a bond with her, telling him that he doesn't show up to funerals since he's scared of showing a genuine human emotion, and that shutting himself in will lead him to abstract. Jax breaks down, being angry while keeping up the façade smile, telling her that people who are close to abstracting are not pleasant to be around, as he realizes that he is not pleasant to be around, and drops his smile for a little bit. Pomni then asks Jax what he would do if she abstracted, which he tells her and he'd move on and probably forget about her. Pomni, while dejected, says she understands, only to shake in anger and throw the gun at Jax afterwards. She then lashes out in anger and attacks Jax, as Jax hesitates to fight back, Pomni tells him to do so while still attacking him. Jax then goes on a monologue about how he doesn't care about her or anyone else in the circus, and walks away after kicking a flower pot in anger, leaving Pomni there with a sad look on her face.
Pomni meets Ragatha at the Award Show, and they both agree to talk to each other after the show, as they sit next to each other. Pomni sees that Jax is not in his seat, she was about get up as if to go find him but then he sees him coming back to his seat with his signature smile. Pomni was concerned for Jax, but she decides to not mind him.
Powers and Abilities Digital physiology: Pomni is one of the trapped humans inside the digital world with her consciousness piloting a digital avatar. Because of this, she can perform abilities that are outside of the general range of normal human capabilities. Absolute Immortality: Because there is no conceivable way to die within the digital world and the fact that Caine cannot control the minds of those who are trapped within, there is currently no way that any of the human characters can or will die. With the closest alternative being "Abstraction". However, this may change in the future. Self-Sustenance: Pomni along with the other humans in the show do not need to eat, sleep, or drink. However, they can still do these actions if they choose. Invulnerability: Nothing in the digital world can cause life long lasting damage to any individual in the amazing digital circus. With Pomni surviving multiple scenarios that would certainly kill any normal human and recovering from them with no marks and/or scaring. Rubber Body: Pomni's body can stretch and warp to impossible standards, with the most extreme case being when Jax threw her off of their semi-truck to make a "Bridge" between them and the Bandits truck. Music Composition: Pomni is capable of composing songs to her liking without assistance.[7] Color-Changing: In the first few minutes of "The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor", we see the gang watch Pomni trying to hold her breath. When Pomni did this, her face changes color. First blue, then pink, then red, then orange, then yellow, and finally green. It goes back to blue, but the shift of hues goes a bit faster. Gunmanship: In "They All Get Guns", Pomni discovers she has a natural talent with firearms. Kinger has even pointed out her skills and called her a sharpshooter. At the peak of her potential, she could pull off an impossible trick with a ricochet, making it bounce and hit 5 times, with the final shot knocked down Zooble.

Trivia In a GLITCH merchandise promotion video, it is implied that Pomni's real name is Christine, even though she says that is not her name. This is likely due to the fact that once you enter the Circus, you can't remember your name. The name Pomni can be translated in a variety of ways that may relate to Pomni's general character: In the Russian language, "Pomni" (Помни — an imperative form of the verb "помнить") means “remember” or rather "don't forget it/to". In context, it is used as "Hey, (x), remember to do (x)", for example: "Hey, do this, but remember what was in that tutorial video." This origin of the name was confirmed by the creator of the series Gooseworx during MomoCon 2024. Meanwhile, in the Polish language, "Pomni" is similar to the word "pomny", meaning "mindful" or "having something in consideration". In the Bulgarian language, "Pomni" ("Помни", which is a derivative form of the verb "Помня") also means "Remember". In context, it's used as "(x) remembers that". Both Polish and Bulgarian are related to Russian, and as such the words share a common origin. Pomni underwent a minor change in her character design close to the release of the pilot: Originally, her left glove was red while her right glove was blue - this can be seen in promotional materials that were created/released before the pilot's trailer was published in September 2023 (such as the series' first teaser and Pomni's official 2D artwork). However, in the official trailer for the pilot and the pilot itself (as well as all media released afterward), the colors for Pomni's gloves were swapped. This design change was made because lead animator Kevin Temmer suggested swapping the color of Pomni's gloves so that they would contrast with the colors of her shoes and her outfit on the same sides as them.[8] The 2D Pomni that appears in the end credits of the Pilot has her old design, presumably because the design change was made after the 2D animation was completed by Zeurel. The official poster for the series, released after the pilot premiered, also featured Pomni's old design - a blue right glove and a red left glove. The poster was updated later on in Glitch's merch store to correct the color of Pomni's gloves. In the pilot, Pomni and Zooble were the only characters who openly cursed, though they were censored by Caine. Pomni was originally conceptualized as a frog-like character wearing a black and blue striped suit, nicknamed "Frogni" by Gooseworx.[9][10] Pomni's hair color is notably brown in her official 2D artwork, her official plushie, and some promotional material such as the poster for GlitchX 2023. Pomni's first given name, XDDCC, can be interpreted as the Roman numeral 1190. Putting it through a Caesar Cipher with 17 shifts also reveals the word OUUTT, which may refer to Pomni's goals to escape the circus. Running the code above it (PNCMM) reveals the word GETDD,[11] making the full message “GETDD OUUTT”, most likely a warped version of “GET OUT”. Gooseworx had stated that Pomni does not like being touched.[5] Pomni seems to have gotten over this feeling, as in episode 6, she gave a curious expression when Jax tapped her before singing Daisy Bell, even hugging Jax after they defeated everyone. Gooseworx has stated in GlitchX 2023 that Pomni's favorite food is salmon.[4] Gooseworx stated that out of all the humans trapped in the circus, Pomni is the worst at cooking.[12] Before arriving at the circus, Pomni worked as a supermarket accountant.[13] She also stated in episode 5 that she sometimes sought out mild thrills in her life due to it being boring, such as exploring abandoned buildings, and filming videos of them and putting them online, though she stated that nobody really watched them and that she was just doing it for herself. Pomni is the first character from The Amazing Digital Circus to get her official plushie, aside from Jax. In Untitled, Pomni is seen wearing a baseball cap as opposed to her usual jester cap, during which she is seen with a full head of short-cut hair as opposed to the few individual strands she is usually seen with. When Pomni holds in her breath, her face slowly changes color like a rainbow and then rapidly changes faster when she can't hold in her breath anymore. Pomni is the shortest of the main characters. In the Dutch dub, she is voiced by Nola Klop, who voices Serial Designation V in both the original English and Dutch versions of Murder Drones, another series by Glitch Productions. Pomni made a cameo in Knights of Guinevere, with 4 plushies of her appearing in a claw machine.

Quotes Gangle in the distance worried the group is forgetting that they need to get Zooble from the Gloinks Wait, what about Zooble?
Gangle is one of the main characters of Glitch Productions' indie animated YouTube series The Amazing Digital Circus, voiced by Marissa Lenti. She is a humanoid made of ribbons trapped in the Digital Circus along with five other victims.
Appearance Gangle appears to be made up of four Candy Red Ribbons that form a humanoid shape. Her face is a white porcelain mask with black eyes and mouth. Her body consists of the main mass of the ribbons that curl, making a spring shape that spirals four times, two ribbons that form her legs, and a single ribbon for her arms (one end is the right arm, while the other end is her left arm). Whenever her Comedy Mask gets broken or removed, her next mask appears, switching to a sad version of the former, clarified by Gooseworx as her Tragedy Mask.
It is said when she holds her breath her masks starts spinning.
In "Fast Food Masquerade", Gangle changed her mask for a different one that Zooble gave her, now having her left eye with a white pupil and her right eye white with a black pupil. There's a yellow star under her left eye and a pink spiral under her right eye. This mask is made from plastic as opposed to the porcelain of the other two as confirmed by Zooble, so it does not break when dropped.
Personality Gangle's emotions and behavior are influenced by which mask she is currently wearing. However, it is revealed that these masks do not completely change her mood, rather they are a literal form of "masking" and are not the sole deciders of her personality. The masks merely change the way Gangle's feelings are presented. When she has her Comedy Mask, her tone, posture, and behavior is masked as pleasant, upbeat, and extroverted. Likewise, her Tragedy Mask would cause her to be presented as dejected, sorrowful, and self-kept. Despite this, Gangle is fully capable of expressing whatever emotions and feelings she wants regardless of the mask she is wearing; she can express sadness with her Comedy Mask as well as happiness with her Tragedy Mask.
Gangle is referred to by Jax as one of the most "mentally stable and capable characters" in a mocking manner. Due to her mask breaking easily, Gangle is fragile in both a literal and figurative sense. Because of her emotional fragility, Gangle is an easy target for Jax's taunts, who enjoys tormenting her. Zooble themself points out that Gangle is too shy to speak up, possibly to avoid conflict with the other Circus members. Gangle had positive feelings towards Ragatha, although she acknowledged that Ragatha could sometimes be seen as disingenuous. At the end of "Fast Food Masquerade", Gangle expresses her concern that she will be hated by everyone after the events of the episode.
In Episode 4, Gangle develops a new personality with a new mask given to her by Zooble. While wearing this mask, she becomes outgoing and confident, but also bossy, controlling and manic. She also internally cracks when others mention they like her better when she is sad, or that her new personality is annoying.
Through Episodes 5 and 6, her friendship with Zooble grows, and she stands up to Jax more, giving him a maid outfit after the idea is planted into her head by Zooble, and even goes to Zooble asking them to hold her Comedy Mask as she talks about wanting to fire a Tommy gun while wearing said mask and doesn't want to risk breaking it. She then expresses to Zooble that she doesn't know how she should like the side she thinks makes her worse than everyone, to which, once Zooble teaches her about self-love, it revitalizes Gangle's confidence. This seems to have helped Gangle finally accept herself for who she is, as when she gets eliminated by Pomni, her Comedy Mask breaks again, but behind it, her Tragedy Mask instead dawns a happy expression that the Comedy Mask would typically make her have.
Biography Background Before her arrival in the Amazing Digital Circus, Gangle was an ordinary human with another name who worked in the fast-food industry as a shift manager, and was a part-time artist with a passion for anime. At one point, she pursued a degree in graphics design at a community college, though later dropped out for reasons unknown and did not do much with her art after that.
At some point after Jax entered, Gangle entered the Amazing Digital Circus after donning a headset connected to a mysterious computer. Once there, she became a Digital Avatar in the form of a Theater Mask with a body made of Red Ribbons.
"PILOT" (Episode 1) Gangle first appears in the episode "PILOT." She is introduced in the opening theme song, but Pomni knocks over Jax, who falls onto Kinger, who in turn tumbles into Gangle. She lands face-first, which causes her comedy mask to break, making her cry and showing her next, sadder, mask. Jax is seen stepping on her comedy mask, cracking it even more, making Gangle sob in response.
Gangle later pipes up during a conversation quietly saying, "What about Zooble?" Showing her concern for the other performer. Gangle gets paired up with Kinger to find Zooble and deal with The Gloinks. Later in the episode, Gangle reappears with Kinger, as they're gazing down a pitch-black hole, where they can hear Zooble distantly screaming. Gangle has to remind Kinger that they saw one of the Gloinks carry Zooble's pieces down there, seemingly startling Kinger.
She then asks Jax how Kaufmo is doing, saying that she hopes he isn't mad at her for not laughing at his jokes. Jax then throws a bowling ball at Kinger, who smacks against Gangle, pulling her down. Jax goes down the hole with them, and they all tumble down a long and fun-shaped slide, entering The Gloink Queen's Nest.
After Jax states that he doesn't want to help Zooble anymore, Kinger and Gangle play rock-paper-scissors to see who will go and save Zooble. Gangle loses, saddening her, while Kinger looks ecstatic about getting to help Zooble. After the Gloink Queen is defeated, Gangle shows confusion and is surprised when she learns that Kaufmo was abstracted.
On their way out, Jax offers to let Gangle go first, but changes his mind immediately after muttering: "No, wait, why would I say that?" and shoves Gangle onto the floor, and she enters last. At the end of the episode, she can be seen eating the digital feast with the other performers discussing compost with the rest of the group. She appears to be eying Pomni with worry, asking her if she is feeling alright (even though the dialogue is inaudible).
"Candy Carrier Chaos!" (Episode 2) Gangle is seen at the Tent with the rest of the crew (except Zooble) getting pushed into the portal by Caine, although she doesn't say anything much. In the Candy Canyon Kingdom, when they are walking to the castle, she expressed how much she likes the place, before a mannequin charges into her and breaks her comedy mask.
When the crew goes to the truck, Jax runs to it saying, "I call shotgun", before ironically forcing Gangle to drive after he is not pleased by the sound of the horn. Later when the crew is driving to catch the bandits, Jax says, "You drive over to the other truck and I'll shoot'em repeatedly until they're unrecognizable", before Gangle says, "I feel like that violates some kind of convention". When Gangle refuses to comply with what Jax wants, he threatens her on revealing about the "figurine thing", making her laugh in a forced manner before ramming into the bandits shortly after.
When the group returned to the circus, they attended Kaufmo's funeral. When it was Gangle's turn to speak, she showed a drawing of her and Kaufmo then began crying as she recounted her memories of her abstracted friend.
"The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor" (Episode 3) Gangle was seen on the couch taking notes on Pomni's special power when she holds her breath, it is revealed at Gangle's mask spins when she holds her breath, she enters the Mildenhall Manor with the rest of the crew (except Zooble). Jax throws her Comedy Mask into a door which turns out to be the scary door, causing her to be disappointed, she follows Ragatha and Jax into the normal door and meets Martha Mildenhall, who invites them to have tea, after the tea the group heads to the main entrance of the mansion where they learn they have to wait for the others before they can leave and she asks Ragatha how long that would be. After Pomni and Kinger reunited with the rest of the group Gangle asks if they remember to retrieve her Comedy Mask causing both of them to realize they forgot.
"Fast Food Masquerade" (Episode 4) Gangle is seen in The Tent playing softball with Jax and Ragatha, which results in Jax accidentally breaking her comedy mask.
While Jax and Ragatha argue, Zooble pulls Gangle aside to show her something in their room. In Zooble's room, Zooble pulls a plastic comedy mask from the "Zooble" box, containing all of Zooble's pieces. Zooble explains that the plastic comedy mask may be more durable, as it isn't made of a glass-like/fragile material. Gangle tries on the comedy mask, to which she says in reply to Zooble's question of how it feels, "It feels… Normal."
Caine pulls Pomni, Jax, Ragatha, Zooble, and Gangle to the center of the tent to share the day's adventure which is "The Curse of The Violent Psychopath Butcher", to which Pomni dislikes the idea, and asks if they could chill with the horror, and that she really does not want it to be like last time, to which Zooble asks what happened last time, before Pomni explains what happened. Caine calls everyone critics, and asks them to come up with a better one, to which Zooble responds that they do, and asks Caine if he's checked the Suggestions box at all, to which Caine responds by saying that he forgot they even had one. Gangle suggests that they pick a more "normal" adventure, to which Caine pulls out a suggestion for the cast to spend the day working at a fast food restaurant. Gangle agrees, and Caine deems Gangle as the shift manager, to which Gangle mentions she was a shift manager at some point, possibly before she entered the circus.
At the "Spudsy's" restaurant, Gangle starts up the shift for everyone, and gets into "manager mode".
Jax throws Ragatha into a fryer, to which Gangle calls Caine and suggests a punishment for bad employees, to which Caine agrees, with a vague answer to what the punishment will be.
At lunch hour, Gangle asks Jax to clean the bathroom, which she describes as a "biohazard". Jax refuses, and says that he prefers Gangle when she's sad, to which the sound of breaking glass is heard (meaning she cracked emotionally) and Gangle drags Jax to an empty room as a dated "employee training video" plays. In the tape, Gangle says the viewer is thinking they (the viewer) wants be a comic artist and then launch a web comic, adding it's cool to have dreams before she says the viewer's dreams are completely unrealistic and need to stop trying, implying that Gangle could've been an aspiring webcomic author/artist before entering the circus, but was discouraged by others.
In the employee training video, Gangle asks if the viewer is smiling, to which Jax replies "no", before the music stops, and Gangle asks "Why not?" as cartoonish extendable arms then tie Jax to a chair and bring him closer to the screen, as Gangle says it's time for their re-evaluation as a mind-control/hypnosis-type video plays, flashing between Gangle's comedy mask and tragedy mask.
Gangle approaches Ragatha to request she does her work properly, and help her with her work, to which Ragatha says "Why are you even the boss anyways? I feel like I'm way more responsible than you.", which Gangle replies by suggesting Ragatha just does as she's told so she doesn't end up hurt, and attempting to motivate Ragatha. Ragatha replies with "No offense, but you're kind of annoying when you have your happy mask.", which is followed by a close-up of Gangle, and the sound of glass cracking (again meaning she cracked internally), and Gangle asking Zooble to help with Ragatha in a depressed tone, while heading to a corner.
Jax asks Gangle if the clock is broken, to which Gangle replies almost losing the sense of reality; "Is it broken? Or are we the broken ones? How long has this shift really gone on for? Six hours? 8? 24? A week? A year? Does time even move in here? Will we ever go home? Will we ever achieve our dreams?" Before being cut off by the sound of her watch beeping and coming back to "reality", and replying "Oh wait, yeah that clock's broken."
At dinner time, Gangle walks into an alley alone, takes off her plastic comedy mask, sighs, and screams into her hands, before being caught by Pomni taking out the garbage, who asks if she's okay. Gangle replies "My comedy mask is usually broken by now…" Pomni asks if she has anyone to talk to, and suggests talking to Ragatha, to which Gangle replies "Heh. Oh, Ragatha. I love her, but… After a while, it gets kind of hard to tell how genuine she's actually being.", before putting back on her plastic comedy mask and saying, "Anyway, we can't spend all night out here talking about our feelings. We've got work to do!" followed by a weak laugh, before she walks back into the building.
After Ragatha, Jax, and Zooble leave, Gangle is depressingly walking around the building after standing there for roughly an hour, before Pomni offers to close the restaurant for Gangle, before Gangle leaves, and stares at the road on the street, before throwing her plastic comedy mask into the sky, smiling, and running onto the road, dancing and staring at a street lamp, before tripping, and staring at the truck racing towards her.
The scene then cuts to an office with Caine going over Gangle's performance review, and said she did a good job, but "cut her own shift short, went a little kooky, and ran out into oncoming traffic." Caine then offered that she could put the blame onto Pomni, Jax, Ragatha, or Zooble, to which Gangle takes responsibility.
At the tent, Zooble approaches Gangle, who's drawing an anime/manga character on a notepad, and asks why she's so far away from the other cast members, to which Gangle replies with a sniff: "I messed everything up... The mask didn't work. And now I don't think anybody wants to talk to me anymore." And Zooble replies "I still like talking to you. Look, the new mask was a bust. So, what? I'm sure we'll find something that works eventually." before taking Gangle to hang out with the rest of the cast, and says to bring Gangle's art, which she is most likely embarrassed of due to what people thought of it before she entered the circus.
"Untitled" (Episode 5) Gangle, along with her fellow circus members, go through a portal after an adventure with her broken comedy mask, but it gets fixed by Caine as she is about to leave. She then gets sent back along with the others by Caine, to discuss about the which adventures are better: Caine's or those in the Suggestion Box. Caine then decides on a “Lightning Round”, in which they all go through adventures based off of everyone's suggestions to prove his adventures are better. Gangle is so dumbfounded by this that her mask breaks upon hearing Caine's idea because of the sheer terror she feels just from imagining what could happen. He opens up a portal, and Gangle and everyone else get sucked in.
In the first adventure, "Poacher's Paradise", Gangle is seen as a rhinoceros, before getting shot and mauled by Jax. Due to his behavior, and following Zooble's suggestion, Gangle and the others vote Jax to be a vegan for the rest of the day, and to change the adventure. In the next adventure, "President Pomni", Gangle shows up in the oval office wearing a time bomb on herself. She plays the role of a New Zealander extremist, though she claims she doesn't know what extremists threaten people with, right before the bomb explodes. Everyone then moves on to Gangle's suggested adventure, in which they're all students in an anime-style school classroom. Even though she was flustered that Zooble knew it was her suggestion, she was happy with the current setting as she drew on her papers. However, when Jax was about to expose a secret regarding what Gangle does with her anime figures, she decides to change the adventure.
In the fourth adventure, "Stargazing", the group Relaxes among the stars outside the Digital Circus. Zooble offers a sandwich to Gangle and she takes a bite of it, while Jax, Ragatha, and Pomni discuss Gangle's happiness. Caine watches them, and—frustrated by what he sees—decides to cut the scene and start an intermission. After the intermission ends, they find themselves in a 1930s-style bar. Zooble hands out drinks and asks Gangle what jobs she had in her past life. Gangle replies that she mostly worked in fast food, but also pursued graphic design in community college before dropping out and not doing much with it. While she didn't pursue her hobbies as much after that, Zooble was open to drawing art with her. Later, Jax brings up that Ragatha once told Gangle to kill herself, which Ragatha quickly denies, claiming she was "on stupid sauce" and would never say such a thing. Gangle smiles at the comment, showing that she doesn't seem to mind what happened at Spudsy's. Caine then gets bored and switches the adventure's one last time.
In the final adventure, "Good Ol' Fashioned Softball", Gangle and the others are players on "The BigTops" team, and while they're shown to be facing against their evil counterparts, the "The Evil BigTops", she was confused when she noticed that she didn't have an evil clone of her own. While benched on the side, Gangle giggles as Zooble whispers something in her ear, which (presumably) encourages her to suggest something in secret, and it ends up getting majority approval. Jax ends up wearing a maid outfit, much to his anger. When her turn came up, she hits a (off-camera) home run for the team, and as the game ends, she compliments Ragatha for her efforts on the field, before everyone returns to the Circus.
"They All Get Guns" (Episode 6) Gangle, along with everyone else, shows up to the main stage in the Tent as Caine announced the day's adventure. She appears interested when Caine mentions the sports he's come up with, and she is surprised when Jax first shoots Ragatha. Jax grabs Gangle hand and tells her to join him as his partner for the adventure, but Gangle doesn't let him and lets him know that she's actually gonna be on a team with Zooble. Jax takes her comedy mask and puts it above him, out of reach for Gangle, prompting her to try and reach for it. Zooble grabs the mask from Jax and Gangle follows her, where they give the mask back to Gangle. She later asks Zooble to hold on to her happy mask, as she doesn't trust herself with it. She mentions that she wants to be able to fire a tommy gun while laughing maniacally and doesn't want it to break before that moment. Zooble assures her that she'll keep it safe. When the game begins, she yells at Zooble about needing to find the tommy gun, and they both run off.
At the railing above, right after Zooble shoots Kinger, she isn't sure if she and Zooble are safe up there, before they both duck when Kinger and Ragatha try to shoot them.
When Gangle and Zooble hide out in the Castle area, Zooble finds an AK-47 and asks Gangle if it will do in case they don't find the tommy gun and Gangle says yes. Gangle asks Zooble if they think Jax is going to be mad because she didn't team up with him. Zooble tells her to not worry about that right now, but Gangle is convinced that Jax probably wants revenge. Zooble sits down with her, reassuring her that she's doesn't deserve to think about that, and how she's not his toy, she's a human, but Gangle says that it doesn't always feel that way. She questions to Zooble "how are you supposed to like the part of yourself that just...makes you worse than everyone else?" Zooble replies "'cause it exists" and how the only you she should care about is the real you; she should have to choose to love herself, even it it doesn't make sense. Gangle asks if Zooble has ever had to make that choice, but then says "Of course not. You're Zooble." Gangle takes Zooble's hand and stands up, and Zooble says "I've got your back if you've got mine." Gangle then decides that they should now go kill Pomni and Jax.
Sometime after Gangle and Zooble both lose two lives, presumedly caused by Jax and Pomni, they are getting chased by the duo in some large multicolored aboveground tunnels Zooble and Gangle run through a long stretch of tunnel, barely dodging bullets from Jax and Pomni. They get a break around the corner, where Gangle seems out of breath. While Zooble shoots back at Team Bad Guys, Gangle notices that the tommy gun is next to her, then she tells Zooble "It's time." Gangle, now with her comedy mask, runs out into the tunnel with the tommy gun, laughing maniacally and shooting wildly. Somehow, Jax and Pomni dodge the bullets, but Gangle shoots around Jax and Pomni in a circle, breaking the tunnel, now with holes around the side of it. The tunnel collapses, and Gangle, Jax, Pomni, Zooble, and their weapons fall out onto a level of the tent below, right outside of the bedroom hallways. Gangle's comedy mask somehow manages to stay intact, and she seems very happy about it. Gangle and Pomni both pick up a gun. They both shoot at the same time, but Gangle barely misses, and Pomni shoots her right in the forehead. After Gangle falls to the ground, her comedy mask breaks, revealing her sad mask still smiling. She disappears and is transferred to the loser corner.
When Zooble pops in to the loser corner, Gangle, Ragatha, and Kinger are cosplaying as cats with black ears, whiskers, and tails.
At the Favorite Character Awards, Gangle sits next to Zooble and behind Kinger. When Zooble gets an award, Gangle is smiling next to her.
When Caine sees how many Committee members voted for him, it is shown that Gangle got three votes.
Powers and Abilities Digital physiology: Gangle is one of the trapped humans inside the digital world with her consciousness piloting a digital avatar. Because of this, she can perform abilities that are outside of the general range of normal human capabilities. Immortality: Because there is no conceivable way to die within the digital world and the fact that Caine cannot control the minds of those who are trapped within, there is currently no way that any of the human characters can or will die. With the closest alternative being "Abstraction". However, this may change in the future. Self-Sustenance: Gangle along with the other humans in the show do not need to eat, sleep, or drink. However, they can still do these actions if they choose. Invulnerability: Nothing in the digital world can cause life long lasting damage to any individual in the amazing digital circus. With Gangle surviving multiple scenarios that would certainly kill any normal human and recovering from them with no marks and/or scaring. Replaceable Mask: Unlike the other humans, Gangle can install a comedy mask onto her face to act like her real face. However, this mask commonly breaks, due to being fragile. Spinning Mask: When holding her breath, Gangle's mask will begin rapidly spinning around as a result. Trivia Gangle is said to enjoy drawing, specifically anime.[2] Gangle is seen sketching during the opening of The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor. Gangle's favorite anime is Azumanga Daioh.[3] She has watched One Piece, and her favorite character is Chopper.[4] During the "Training Tape" section of Fast Food Masquerade, Gangle begins projecting her feelings, mentioning that she "want[s] to be a comic artist" and "eventually launch [her own] manga-inspired webcomic".[5] In Fast Food Masquerade, Gangle mentions how in her past life she used to work as a shift manager at a fast food restaurant before entering the circus. It was stated by Gooseworx during GLITCHX 2023 Gangle only has Two Masks.[6] Her Tragedy Mask appears to be more durable than her Comedy Mask; while the latter broke after a single fall, the former endured two similar hits with no visible damage. Gangle has a place where she stores her Broken Comedy Masks. In one of the TADC photos published by Glitch[7], one of Gangle's Broken Masks on the wall resembles the "Dorcelessness" face from the video "BLUE_CHANNEL: THALASIN", an analog horror short by Gooseworx unrelated to The Amazing Digital Circus. Gooseworx has stated that this is intended as just an easter egg.[8] Gangle's masks are based on the Sock and Buskin or "Comedy and Tragedy" symbol, an icon that dates back to Ancient Greek theater depicted by a pair of masks, one frowning (tragedy) and one smiling (comedy). The Comedy Mask and the Tragedy Mask are known as Thalia and Melpomene respectively, which are the 2 of the 9 Muses (daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne). It is unknown if this has any significance in Gangle. According to Gooseworx on GLITCHX 2023, Jax came up with her name.[9] Gangle's name is a play on the words referring to her gangly body. The word "gangle" is a verb for moving ungracefully. e.g. "He gangled down the street." This means that she most likely arrived after Jax, making her the 4th member of the main cast to join the Digital Circus. Gooseworx confirmed on Tumblr that Gangle had a body pillow with an unspecified character on it.[10] Gooseworx confirmed in a Tumblr post that Gangle and the others were talking about compost at the table at the end of the pilot episode.[11] Gangle's design was inspired by Kedamono from Popee the Performer. Gangle is the Main Protagonist in the Fast Food Masquerade. A running gag so far is Gangle's Comedy Mask being broken, thus displaying her Tragedy Mask. Fast Food Masquerade reveals the Comedy Mask is just used to make her look happy, not actually change her emotion. It is shown she can smile even with the Tragedy Mask. When she holds her breath, her masks starts spinning. She has an embarrassing secret revolving around an "anime figurine" and possibly Ragatha, which Jax is aware of and uses to blackmail Gangle into ramming into the Gummy Gators' truck in Candy Carrier Chaos! and skipping her anime adventure in Untitled. This changes in the Latino Spanish dub referring only to the fact that Gangle has drawings about Ragatha. When Gangle is sketching in The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor, she's holding her pencil with her left ribbon, hinting that she may be left-handed. Conversely, when Gangle is sketching in Fast Food Masquerade, she's holding her pencil with her right ribbon. It is unknown if this was an error or if it was intentionally shown to convey Gangle is ambidextrous. She is the only human who was not shown to be given an "evil" counterpart. Gooseworx mentions that the reason for this was because she thinks that it would be funny if Evil Gangle was forgotten.[12] According to Gooseworx, if Evil Gangle were to ever appear, she would have a white ribbon and a red mask.[13] For now, she is the only one in the circus to not swear in the Main Series. Though, she has swore in a very special digital circus song. In Jobby2's "Drawing with GOOSEWORX Again" stream, Gooseworx reveals that Gangle is the one who convinced Kinger and Ragatha to cosplay as cats in "They All Get Guns". Out of every TADC character, Gangle has died the most, having a total of 4 fatal injuries. Near the end of episode 4, Gangle is hit by a semi-truck. In the first adventure of episode 5, she's shot by Jax. In the second adventure of episode 5, a bomb is strapped to her chest and her, along with all the other 5 main characters explode. In episode 6, Pomni shoots her with a sniper rifle.

Quotes Kinger to Jax, seeming to forget entirely what he was talking about before Expert on the what?
Kinger is one of the main characters of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus, voiced by Sean Chiplock. He is an anthropomorphic king chess piece trapped in the Digital Circus along with five other victims.
Appearance Kinger is an alder wood-colored king chess piece. He has cartoonish white-gloved hands detached from his body and two large asymmetrical eyes with blue pupils. Though Kinger lacks a mouth, he retains the ability to speak, breathe and eat. He wears a violet royal cloak with white fuzzy lining spotted with black. In Episode 3, Kinger is shown to glow when holding his breath.
Personality Kinger is shown as erratic and paranoid, most likely derived from his time in the circus. He also displays an absent-mindedness since he seems to often forget the fact that people are near him and are startled by them, like Gangle. Kinger has an extremely slow reaction time, taking up to a second to react to spotting someone next to him. Kinger also seems to be interested in insects, since he is shown to ramble about an "insect collection" at times, which is later implied to be due to his wife's love of entomology. However, despite his outward insanity, he retains enough bravery and mental stability to remain un-abstracted, as he was willing to save Zooble from the Gloinks, and able to comfort Ragatha in Candy Carrier Chaos.
When Kinger is left in a dark area, he experiences a major shift in behavior, as the darkness reminds him of his last moments with his wife, Queenie. When in this state, he appears to have a much better grip on his sanity, with his fear and paranoia subsiding, with his voice even becoming less high-pitched. Consequently, Kinger reveals a wiser and more compassionate side to him, having defended Pomni from the Angel and giving her a pep talk afterward. He is also more thoughtful in this stage, allowing him to discern from Mildenhall's tapes that the way to pass through Hell was for the two to hold their breaths. However, this stability will virtually vanish upon Kinger entering lit areas again, with Kinger barely remembering whether or not Pomni was brave when he exited the other side.
Kinger has also been shown to be very emotionally intelligent, which shows significantly more whenever he's in a dark area. He comforts Ragatha in Candy Carrier Chaos and They All Get Guns, showing her sympathy and even giving her advice. He's compassionate towards Pomni in The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor. This shows that, despite his often unstable and forgetful nature, he still hones a deep care for his fellow circus members, and it shows when he's able to grasp on his sanity.
Biography Background Before entering the Amazing Digital Circus, Kinger was a human in the real world with a different name. After donning a headset connected to a mysterious computer, he entered the Amazing Digital Circus with his digital avatar being a king chess piece. So far, he has been in the circus longer than the rest of the performers.
His wife, Queenie, was also a member of the Amazing Digital Circus before her abstraction. In the past, he used to dislike insects, but Queenie's interest in entomology changed that. Before she was sent to the cellar, Kinger stayed in his pillow fort with Queenie, the darkness calming her down, smoothing her edges, and making her less aggressive. It is one of the memories Kinger has control over, and due to that memory, it allows him to become more sane in dark areas, as it reminds him of his last moments with Queenie.
"PILOT" (Episode 1) Kinger is introduced in the beginning theme song, in which Pomni knocks Jax into Kinger. This results in Kinger pushing over Gangle, breaking her comedy mask. Kinger seems to stay in a pillow fort he calls his "Impenetrable Fortress." He comes out of it when Jax says that Kinger's been in the circus the longest out of them. He comes up to them and asks if somebody said something about an insect collection. A few moments later, he appears to be hiding in his Impenetrable Fortress, which gets stolen by the Gloinks. Afterward, he starts explaining how he thinks Kaufmo has gone insane, saying he was rambling about an exit. Kinger compares Kaufmo and Pomni, saying she might be going insane too. Pomni points out that it could mean it is more likely that an exit exists.
Kinger gets paired up with Gangle to go save Zooble by Jax, which Kinger starts to gradually twitch violently. He gets startled when he sees Gangle, having forgotten she was there. Later in the episode, Gangle and Kinger appear to be looking down at a hole, with Zooble distantly screaming. Kinger forgets why they're there, saying he doesn't know what he's looking at. Gangle explains that they saw The Gloinks carry Zooble down there, and Kinger thanks her for the recap. Kinger seems to get startled by Jax's appearance, and then tells them they found "The Zooble Hole." A few moments later, Jax throws a bowling ball at Kinger, in response, Kinger grabs Gangle, dragging her down the gaping massive hole with him. Jax boings in after them.
After a bit of tumbling down a slide in the massive hole, they enter the Gloink Queen's nest. As of seeing The Gloink Queen, Kinger says, "An insect collection?" Gangle corrects him, and he gets startled by her again, screaming. A few moments later, after Jax refuses to save Zooble as they get carried by, Kinger and Gangle do rock-paper-scissors to see who will rescue Zooble. Kinger wins but runs off to go save Zooble anyway. He grabs Zooble's head, but his hands just stay attached to it. He watches casually as Zooble is swallowed by The Gloink Queen, as they yell at him for being "a motherf-" and being abruptly cut short afterward by the Gloink Queen swallowing them. When The Gloink Queen spits out Zooble after an Abstracted Kaufmo falls onto her, Kinger, having been thrown against the cave by Zooble's head, asks if they experienced a game show in there. He can be seen carrying their head until after they return to the Tent, with Zooble telling him that they thought he would be next to Abstract, and he thanks them joyfully. Kinger can be seen in the end scene eating the big digital feast with the other performers.
"Candy Carrier Chaos!" (Episode 2) Along with the other Digital Circus members, Kinger arrives to the Candy Canyon Kingdom on a float made of candy. He possibly got teleported offscreen as he isn't seen in the circus when Caine announced the adventure. When they get off the float, Ragatha tells Kinger how amazing the castle is and he replies saying that they even got candy bugs, which he is a fanatic of.
They eventually get into a truck to catch the antagonists of the adventure which are a couple of bandits and Pomni gets trapped at the top of the bandit's truck. Kinger throws her a life ring trying to save her like if she was drowning in water. He is seen on the back of the seats of the truck shaking aggressively due to Gangle driving over "Rocky Roads", after that is over, he asks Ragatha to repeat her question due not hearing her because of getting 5 knives stabbed on his head. Later, he tries to save Pomni, who is still on the top of the other truck, by throwing an anchor tied with a rope to her, Pomni dodges the anchor and it falls over a cliff. While Kinger is checking what is the anchor's rope is attached to because of Jax asking, the truck gets pushed by the anchor causing it to crash with the other truck and ending up falling off the cliff.
Kinger then opens a hatch and finds out the truck fell on a chocolate river. He agrees along with Jax that Ragatha's hair looks like licorice and puts a bucket on Ragatha's head covering her hair. We can see he put that bucket on later. When they head back to the kingdom, Kinger tells Ragatha that they can ask Caine to bring Pomni back and that he remembers how long it took Ragatha to adjust to the Digital Circus life just like Pomni is right now. He strangely forgets that last part and his mind gets reset when Ragatha replied to him saying she is surprised he still remembers that.
Gangle asks why there's another "bad guy truck" (which is a copy of it under the map brought by Pomni) and Kinger turns the tap on the back of the truck and lots of syrup releases and falls on his body. He possibly did this with another truck since he said that truck was full of syrup too.
At the end of the episode, Kinger gets back to the circus after completing the adventure and attends Kaufmo's funeral and tells Pomni it's the least they can do to pay respects to him.
"The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor" (Episode 3) At the beginning of the episode, when Pomni can't hold her breath, Kinger advises her to try not to think about it. When she tried it again, just as her head turned blue again, Kinger mentioned it. Next, Pomni asks why only she is trying to hold her breath. Jax explains to her that something different is happening to other individuals. As the first example, he mentions that Kinger starts to glow. After all this, Caine appears, talks about Mildenhall Manor, and then sends Kinger and the others there.
In the Manor itself, when Ghostly scares Pomni with his appearance and her eyes fall out, Kinger remembers his first wild take, but wonders why her eyes do not retract, because this did not happen to him. When Jax throws Gangle's mask at the scary door, Kinger decides to get it back, but Pomni also gets there after him. Now trapped in the "Mature Route", Pomni and Kinger must work together, listening to audio tapes created by a man named Baron Theodore Mildenhall that speak of a monster who's been haunting his life.
Managing to find a key to a nearby elevator after scavenging through the various drawers, the lights end up going out, leaving both Pomni and Kinger in complete darkness. Listening to more of Mildenhall's tapes, the beast who had been chasing them eventually reveals itself, beginning to chase them. Pomni attempts to escape while Kinger, being drawn to the monster's eldritch appearance, has to be pulled away and snapped out of it by the jester before he ends up being consumed by the skin of their teeth. Using the key she acquired earlier, the two get into the elevator, but instead of going up as they expected, ends up leading them further down into the manor.
Now trapped in an even lower level of the manor, Pomni and Kinger find another tape created by Mildenhall, revealing that he had shot his wife in a fit of insanity, Pomni and Kinger discover Mildenhall's corpse, sitting there with a shotgun in its lap. Realizing the value it could serve them in slaying the beast, Pomni anxiously retrieves the gun before handing it to Kinger. Upon the beast entering the area, Kinger manages to shoot both its head and its body, saving both him and Pomni from being killed.
However, to the shock of both Pomni and Kinger, the tape playing Mildenhall's audio reveals that the beast was actually an angel and then killing it meant that they would be dragged down to hell. Hands emerge from the floor, dragging the both of them down below even further into the manor.
Now trapped in hell, Pomni has had just about enough, attempting to run through it as quickly as possible to escape despite Kinger's warnings. Being possessed by one of the spirits trapped down there, Pomni begins to contort, face growing horrifying and limbs twisting in unnatural directions. Kinger immediately gets on the offensive, attacking the spirit and managing to boot it out of Pomni's body.
Pomni, now in a state of incredible distress, begins to have a breakdown, Kinger suggesting that they take a moment to pause. Pomni begins to vent about her time in the circus, stating that she hates the adventures she has been forced to go on and the emotional turmoil it has caused her to cry. Kinger responds sympathetically, apologizing for the fact that he inadvertently cause them to be trapped down this route. Pomni takes note of this, pointing out how Kinger has been acting differently lately. Kinger acknowledges this, revealing that the dark allows him to think more clearly. From there he explains how he used to have a wife (presumed to be Queenie, a female, black queen chess piece) who ended up abstracting, stating that the two ended up in Kinger's pillow fort together and that the darkness seemed to calm her down enough for him to touch her before she was sent away into the cellar, Pomni expresses shock at the revelation that Kinger even had a wife, rhetorically asking if he really did have one in the circus, to which Kinger confirms.
Kinger then tells Pomni how important it is to keep the good memories she has close to her and that it's important to be thankful towards others and to make sure they feel wanted, causing Pomni to start thinking about her treatment of Ragatha over the past few days she's been at the circus.
From there, Kinger has a revelation, recalling the previous tape and how the spirits are only able to possess you if you're breathing. He suggests that maybe they could get through if they don't breathe. Pomni responds by stating that she is not very good at holding her breath, calling back to the beginning of the episode, but Kinger suggests trying not to think about it. Pomni stutters for a moment before lamenting how the moment they leave, Kinger will go back to his usual crazy ways and forget any of this ever happened. Kinger responds by saying how as long as she remembers, that's all that matters.
From there, Kinger offers out his hand, which Pomni takes and together, the two of them walk through hell, holding their breaths. Once more calling back to the beginning of the episode, Kinger begins to glow, just as Jax stated, serving as a shining light as the two walked through the area together.
Escaping hell and making it back to the top of the mansion, Pomni and Kinger meet up with Ragatha, Jax, and Gangle. Kinger, returning to his forgetful state, says that Pomni was very brave, before beginning to question himself, asking the jester girl if she was, Pomni responds by saying it was something like that. Gangle appears and asks if they remembered to get her comedy mask. Kinger realizes he completely forgot it and panics about it.
Having completed the adventure, Pomni, Kinger, Jax, Gangle, and Ragatha all return to the circus, being greeted by Caine. Pomni watches Kinger crawl back into his pillow fort, and Jax, having been released from his bonds, asks her what it was like being stuck with him, clearly expecting the jester to lament how horrible it was. Yet, Pomni would respond by saying that it wasn't that bad.
"Fast Food Masquerade" (Episode 4) Unlike the previous episode, Kinger is a minor character in this episode. At the beginning, Kinger uses the logic of him sitting out meaning Zooble is able to take his place. A perplexed Zooble tries to reject this notion, but Caine refuses and instead presses a button that sends Zooble down a pit.
Kinger is also seen on one of the post-it notes Caine made, with him riding a bull somewhere, implying that Kinger had this as his own adventure while the others were at Spudsy's.Unlike the others, he got an A+. The note is seen when Caine is giving Gangle her final score at his office.
At the end, Kinger sits and discusses his adventure with the others.
"Untitled" (Episode 5) In the beginning, he is seen leaving an adventure with Jax, Pomni, Ragatha, and Gangle. He then asks Ragatha to help him "count his eggs before they hatch." When Caine asks about the adventures, Kinger supposedly had no opinion, judging from how he said nothing at all.
In "President Pomni", Kinger plays as Pomni's assistant, explaining about the ongoing war between Australia and New Zealand. He explains to her how they each got a paper explaining their roles from Jax, except for Pomni. On Kinger's character sheet it tells him to not "embarrass the president". When she has to deactivate the bomb, Kinger tells her to go with blue, it being his favorite color. It is revealed that blue is his so-called "favorite" because it is closest to black, but when questioned about it, responds with, "Well no, there's no black wire."
In The Amazing Digital Circus High (アメイジングデジタルサーカス高校 in Japanese) Kinger is seen to be the teacher supposedly teaching the other cast members the "popular foreign language, also known as English". Kinger is able to read the kanji for English suggesting he knows Japanese, though it could just be for functional reasons of the adventure.
In Stargazing, he is seen sitting with Zooble and Gangle, eating a sandwich. A little bit later, Ragatha tells him about some fireflies behind him and he excitedly looks for them.
After the intermission, during The Bar adventure, he is seen coming around the same time as Ragatha. When he gets to the bar, Kinger asks Zooble for a "corncob blitz." Later, when Pomni mentions his wife, he frantically says, "MY WHAT?!" before calming down as Zooble gives him his drink.
In Softball, he is the alleged coach, telling the cast that he only knows "where is going on" and not what, who, why, or how. He later forces Jax to bat even though the latter was reluctant for other reasons. He then takes one of Zooble's eyes to use as a softball when the cast was missing one. He also points out that Gangle hit a home run, and so did Ragatha and Zooble according to Caine, even though the last two visibly didn't. When the Big Tops win, Kinger lifts up Ragatha and spins her around.
At the end, he walks off with Gangle and Zooble, and the episode ends.
"They All Get Guns" (Episode 6) Powers and Abilities Digital physiology: Kinger is one of the trapped humans inside the digital world with his consciousness piloting a digital avatar. Because of this, he can perform abilities that are outside of the general range of normal human capabilities. Absolute Immortality: Because there is no conceivable way to die within the digital world and the fact that Caine cannot control the minds of those who are trapped within, there is currently no way that any of the human characters can or will die. With the closest alternative being "Abstraction". However this may change in the future. Self-Sustenance: Kinger along with the other humans in the show do not need to eat, sleep, or drink. However, they can still do these actions if they choose. Detachable parts: Kinger can detach parts of his body, as shown in the episode "The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor", where he uses his eye to check the Hall of the Damned from within, and "Untitled", where he considers using it as a softball. He is even willing to use it to help the others in the adventures, as shown during the softball adventure (before he uses Zooble's eye because the dimensions are more accurate to that of a regular softball). Glowing: Kinger can glow if he holds his breath. This was demonstrated when he and Pomni walked through hell towards the exit in Episode 3. Manifestation: Kinger is shown to manifest a healing butterfly that helped Ragatha replenish one heart in Episode 6. When asked about it by Ragatha, Kinger tells her that "he made it up". At the moment, it is unclear if this power is possessed by all humans, or by only himself and Caine. Marksman: Kinger appears to have some proficiency with shotguns, as seen in the episode "The Mystery of the Mildenhall Manor" where he is able to shoot "the angel"'s body and its head with precision. In "They All Get Guns", Kinger is again shown to be very comfortable when possessing firearms, although he does get eliminated quickly, the only person he ever shooting being himself on accident.
Trivia He is the oldest and tallest character in The Amazing Digital Circus.[2] He, Zooble, Orbsman, their evil counterparts, and the Mannequins are the only characters who don't have a mouth. Despite this lack of mouth, Kinger can still eat food, as shown in the Pilot episode and the Stargazing adventure in "Untitled". He has been in the Circus longer than any other character, which Jax believes is why he's the most psychologically unstable of them all.[3] Even Zooble believes Kinger would have been the first one to abstract due to his paranoia. It is possible Kinger has been in the Circus since 1995, as "Meet Kinger!", his reveal teaser, ends with the message "coming 1995...". Both his and Bubble's reveal teasers are connected. He had a pillow fort, which Kinger named his "impenetrable fortress" which he would hide in to protect himself. As his hands are not connected to his body, they can be pulled away endlessly, as seen when he grabs Zooble in the PILOT and Pomni in The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor. He seems to associate tall, bright things with beauty and by extension, Queenie, as when seeing the Angel for the first time, he becomes wide-eyed instead of scared and says "You look beautiful, Honey". One of the crossed-out performers in the "PILOT" resembles a dark queen chess piece with a red robe, who is confirmed to be named Queenie.[4] Considering Queenie's icon is crossed out, it's implied that she abstracted before the events of the PILOT. The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor confirms she was his wife and has abstracted. Though he touched the abstracted Queenie, Kinger didn't have a glitched hand. This may imply Abstracted circus members only make people glitch when angry or it may have been an error. In the "PILOT" after Zooble gets spat out of the Gloink Queen, he asks whether they experienced a game show in the former's stomach. This is a reference to the Gastral Giveaway in Gooseworx's previous projects "Little Runmo" and "Elaine the Bounty Hunter". It changes in the Latin American dubbing, saying "You didn't experience a Turkish novel in there, did you?" in reference to Maureen Herman (Zooble's voice in Latin America) has dubbed many Turkish series into Latin Spanish. Kinger knows how to play chess.[5] He spent 7 years studying computer science (Confirmed by him in "The Mystery OF Mildenhall Manor". He has an insect collection and an interest in insects, having been prompted out of his fort by the mention of insects. This is later revealed to have been something his wife had managed to get him to like due to her own interest in entomology. Kinger uses a shotgun left-handed. Kinger is seen sleeping without his gloves in the official LINE stickers.[6]

Zooble is one of the main characters of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus, voiced by Ashley Nichols. They appear to be a Mix-and-Match toy who is stuck in the Digital Circus alongside five other victims.
Appearance Zooble is made of random colorful shapes and parts that make them resemble a Mix-and-Match toy. Consistently throughout the series, their head has been a hot pink isosceles triangle tilted downwards. Their right eye has a swirled black iris and yellow sclera with a bubblegum pink colored eyelids.
Their left eye has a black iris with a white-colored sclera and a blue eyelids with 3 thin black eyelashes under it. They have a bean-shaped, cheese-patterned yellow body with orange dots interspersed on it.
"PILOT" They had a black and white striped Y antenna on the left and a mint-green zigzag antenna on their right, as well as 2 completely different colored arms (one is zigzagged and the other is straight). Additionally, the top of their body had various sockets for appendages to be attached to with their head being attached to the top socket with a magenta neck.
Their right arm was on their middle right socket being straight and orange ending with a yellow glove while their left arm was on their topmost left socket being exasperatingly long having a red squiggly segment with a pink joint featuring the rest of their arm being yellow and ending with a red crab-like claw. They had a turquoise moon, with a flamingo pink wing as either a sleeve or an accessory on their topmost right socket.
The bottom most sockets of their body were occupied by both their legs, which protruded out of the side of their body instead of the bottom. Their right leg had a squiggly mint-green segment with the bottom having a purple joint and ends with an orange curl, which made up the bottom part of their leg. Their left leg was completely straight dark blue and bends with a matching shoe (which often appears purple due to lighting).
"Candy Carrier Chaos!" They kept their mint-green antenna on the right side of their face and supplemented it with a yellow arrow antenna on the left. Their right arm and left leg remain unchanged- their right arm is still orange with a yellow glove and their left leg is still entirely blue. The beginning of their left arm and their fingers are the same blue, while their forearm is mint-green.
These features are connected with bright yellow fasteners. Zooble's right leg has a orange-and-black diagonally striped pattern and maintains a boomerang-like shape. Still on their topmost right socket is a pink wing, and bolted to their chest is a diagonally striped black-and-white square.
"The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor" Zooble has replaced their right antenna with a pink unicorn horn and reverted their left antenna and badge to the striped Y antenna and blue badge, and has switched out their left blue shoe leg for a white and black striped leg ending in a pinkish-purple pedal-shaped foot. Their right wing is triangular and is wavy striped yellow and purple.
Their right thigh is blue and has white polka dots, while their right calf is a teal rod, and their right foot is an orange glove. Their right elbow is a zigzag alternating between mid blue and white, and their forearm has an orange hinge and is a yellow block splitting off into three fingers for the hand. Their left hand is orange and has a white glove. Surprisingly, their bean-shaped body has changed colors slightly, with their darker-orange dots now a lighter orange and with their body's color now a yellow-golden shade.
"Fast Food Masquerade" Zooble has replaced their left antenna with a yellow arrow similar to the one in "Candy Carrier Chaos!", but with sharper angles, while their right antenna is now a blue rod with a spiral on top. Their left arm has orange and yellow stripes with a purple five-fingered glove on the end. Their right elbow is a red rod, connected to a spherical pale tealish-green elbow. Their right arm is the same three-fingered yellow block.
Later, their arm turned into a yellow spatula. Their wing is now purple and has a perpendicular angle to it. Their left thigh is a magenta rod, and their left knee is a yellow cube, connecting to an orange three-toed duck leg as their left leg. Their right thigh is a squiggly teal rod, and their right knee is a reddish-purple sphere. Their right leg is a turquoise tube with folds in it, like a bendy straw. Their right foot is a black wheel inside a red housing. Their bean body seems to have gotten slightly paler, but not its spots.
"Untitled" Zooble in this episode brings back the right antenna, purple wing, and left foot. Their badge is a blue triangle with a hole in the middle. Their right leg is a blue zig-zag that ends in a yellow and orange peg-leg. Their left antenna is a black and white squiggly line with a ball on the end. Zooble's right arm is a red and yellow tube that turns into a normal thin arm that ends in a yellow gloved hand. Their left, is a green spring that turns into a claw similar to the pilot but with yellow and red stripes and then the claw is green.
"They All Get Guns" In this episode, Zooble's right antenna is a yellow T’shape while their left is a cyan lightning bolt shape, similar to their usual zig-zag antenna. Their left arm has a green and yellow-striped bicep topped with a double-plated purple paldron for a shoulder, a white joint connecting it to a red forearm and yellow hand, while their right arm has a thin red bicep with a round yellow joint connecting it to a zebra print forearm and white hand. Zooble's left leg was yellow and covered in hexagonal red pieces that was connected to a dark blue/Indigo foot and leg piece resembling a boot with a curved toe while their right leg was blue connected to a round periwinkle joint, while having a magenta piece with dull pink polka dots on it for a foot that resembles a golf club. They also have a blue bat wing similar to their door portrait and an orange four-pointed star for a pendant.
Personality Zooble is very grouchy and irritable and can be seen getting quite annoyed when a piece of them happens to be in the wrong place. Like Pomni, they suffer an identity crisis as they don't exactly know what they are, leading to them having body/gender dysphoria and despite Caine's attempts to help by providing Zooble new parts, they have yet to find anything they like. This irritability leads to Zooble's lack of enthusiasm when it comes to Caine's adventures,[6] more often choosing to opt out of them and do their own thing for the day.
Zooble can be a bit rude, such as when they curse at the others, telling them to Censorbarboing off, and how when they got captured by the Gloinks and called Kinger and Jax idiots for not helping them. However, they also seem to have a degree of compassion, since they show sadness and disbelief over Kaufmo's abstraction, even though they seem to have expected Kinger to be the next one to abstract, and mourned during his funeral. Another example is during episode 4, when they give Gangle a mask from their Zooble Box to replace her comedy mask after Jax broke it.
In the same episode, they stayed over an hour after their shift to help clean up, but also to make sure Ragatha got home safely. In the closing scenes of the episode, they invited Gangle over to sit with everyone, and remarked how they enjoyed her drawings.
Zooble continues to show compassion to Gangle after Episode 4, where they later slightly boost Gangle's confidence in standing up to Jax in Episode 5, and helping her feel comfortable about herself for who she is in Episode 6, where they open up to Gangle about how the side that makes them feel worse than everyone is still a part of themselves to love intentionally, no matter how difficult or little sense it makes. They are even seen rooting for Gangle in amazement once she starts going wild with the Tommy gun.
History Background Before they came to the Amazing Digital Circus, Zooble was an ordinary human with another name. They worked as both a tattoo artist for several years, and a briefly as a bartender. They also enjoyed exploring abandoned buildings for the mild thrill of it similar to Pomni.
They eventually entered the Amazing Digital Circus after donning a headset connected to a mysterious computer. Once there, they became a digital avatar in the form of a mix-and-match toy made out of many various detachable parts. Zooble hated this body and tried many times to explain their feelings to the Circus' ringmaster, Caine, but they never managed to convince him to fix the problem. Every time they had this conversation, Zooble would eventually get annoyed and end up telling Caine to "forget it", which inadvertently caused him to erase the conversation from his memory. Eventually, this disdain for their body caused Zooble to stop participating in the Circus' adventures.
"PILOT" (Episode 1) In this episode, Zooble expresses some empathy for Pomni, disliking how bluntly Jax details the situation, even if it is the truth.
Caine decides to start an in-house adventure, but Zooble expresses disinterest. Caine claims he will make it optional and unobtrusive, but Zooble's limbs get split up and stolen by the Gloinks. They are taken to the Gloink Queen's nest, where Kinger tries to save them, but they eventually get eaten by the Gloink Queen. When Kaufmo jumps into the Gloink nest, the Gloink Queen spits Zooble out.
"Candy Carrier Chaos!" (Episode 2) Zooble refused to join the other humans on the adventure to the Candy Canyon Kingdom, being absent for the majority of the episode. It is revealed at the end of the episode that they did this to set up the funeral for Kaufmo.
"The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor" (Episode 3) Zooble yet again declines to attend an adventure, but this time it provokes Caine to question Zooble about why they keep refusing. This discussion has occurred before, but happens again because Caine doesn't immediately remember Zooble's reasoning. It is revealed during a pop-up therapy session that Zooble never goes on adventures because they are unhappy with the nature of their mix-and-match body and cannot find a mix of parts they're satisfied with.
Caine fails to understand this reason properly and points back to the Zooble Box again as a solution to their problems. Later, they also vocalise that "nobody likes [Caine's] stupid adventures." Caine interprets this to mean that he failed at the only thing he does well, which causes him to have a mental breakdown, leading everything to glitch wildly. Zooble frantically replies, "Whose therapy session is this?".
Near the end of the episode, Caine and Zooble are seen having swapped places in the therapy session. Caine later notices that the others have come back from the adventure, and asks Zooble to pretend that the therapy session never happened.
"Fast Food Masquerade" (Episode 4) After Jax breaks Gangle's comedy mask, Zooble invites Gangle to their room, saying "[they] found something." In their room, Zooble goes through their Zooble's part box and finds a mask similar to Gangle's. Zooble tells her that the mask is plastic and won't break easily. Gangle wears the mask, and Zooble asks how it feels. Gangle replies, "It feels normal", and thanks Zooble for handing the mask. Meanwhile, Jax, Pomni and Ragatha enter Zooble's room. Jax mocks them about "giving away [their] parts," to which Zooble snaps that they are not giving anything to him.
Later, Caine sets up a new horror adventure, only for Pomni requesting him to "chill with the horror" as she doesn't want the adventure to be "like the last time." Zooble inquires if Pomni was talking about the one set for them previously, to which Pomni agrees and recounts the summary of her adventure in Mildenhall Manor, causing Zooble to get frustrated at Caine, demanding why he thought they might like that.
Caine tells them to suggest new adventures if they are critics. Zooble inquires if Caine has ever checked the suggestion box for once, to which Caine replies that he forgot, much less to Zooble's surprise. Caine looks through the suggestions, with one of them by Zooble being "an adventure where Jax can't talk the entire time," causing Jax to sarcastically reply, "Genuinely hurtful." However, they decided on the fast-food place adventure suggested by Gangle.
Zooble tries to skip the adventure for the fourth time, but Caine gets frustrated. Zooble tells him they were not going to be wage slaves for fun. Kinger suggests that he will remain in the circus so that Zooble can take his place, much to their disagreement and Caine's agreement. Zooble tries to protest, but Caine drops them into a hole leading to Spudsy's.
In Spudsy's, Zooble takes the job of chef. They replace one of their hands with a plastic spatula to cook, only to realise it affects them, and get to work with a real spatula instead.
At one point, Jax asks Zooble about joining the adventure, and they reply that they don't want Caine to punish them. Jax tells Caine that he will not do anything malicious because it's not in his nature. Zooble says that the only fact holding Caine back is that he likes the humans, and they wouldn't push it, which Jax approves.
At lunchtime, Zooble tells off Ragatha (who had gone extremely high due to being squirted by "stupid sauce") about not helping. Ragatha tells them that she made 5 or 6 of the burgers, and Zooble reminds her they needed 300 for the Gloink Queen and the Gloinks. Ragatha begins to complain that Zooble was being "a grouch," prompting Zooble to call Gangle and tell her to help Ragatha up, suggesting she "huffed paint or something." However, Ragatha inadvertently insults Gangle, causing Gangle to crack and become upset, telling Zooble to help Ragatha with the assembly, much to Zooble's concern.
As the shift almost ended, Zooble tells Gangle that they will drive Ragatha home, and how much longer Ragatha has to work. Gangle replies that "one hour." Zooble sticks up with Ragatha for one hour, packs everything and leaves the restaurant.
Back at the circus, Gangle was drawing alone, and Zooble arrived and asked her why she wasn't with the others. Gangle breaks down, saying that the mask didn't work, and after what happened, she thinks nobody wants to talk to her anymore. Zooble says they like talking to Gangle and suggests they will "find something new for her." Gangle tearfully replies that she doesn't deserve a friend like Zooble, with Zooble saying she "already got one." They invite her to hang out with their fellow circus mates, and Zooble tells Gangle to bring her art with her, as they like seeing what she draws. Gangle follows Zooble to join with the other humans.
"Untitled" (Episode 5) In the beginning, Zooble was sitting alone, reading a magazine titled, “What do your parts say about you?” before the other cast members walk in. They ask Caine if the adventure was a “home run”, before the latter threatens them and then says how advice would be greatly appreciated. Zooble responds by adding on, “But never acknowledged.” Zooble says how the cast could just keep doing suggestion box adventures, and how the adventures should be open all the time. Later, when they clearly overhear Caine and Bubble talking, Caine zips up a random spot on their face, despite them not having a mouth, which is brought up not too long after.
In Poacher's Paradise, Zooble keeps their head but their body is now that of a flamingo. They call a vote saying that the cast should skip the suggested adventure, while also making Jax a vegan for the remainder of the time. The votes were cast, all being in favor except for Jax's.
In President Pomni, Zooble was a security guard/body guard for Pomni along with Ragatha. Later, Jax burst through the door, smashing Zooble against the wall, aggravating them. They, along with the other cast members, were blown up by the bomb that Gangle came with.
In The Amazing Digital Circus High (驚異のデジタルサーカスハイ in Japanese) Zooble, wearing a boy's school uniform in the style of "delinquent" anime characters, sticks up for Gangle when Jax complains about the adventure being boring. Zooble tells Gangle that there was nothing wrong with her suggestion, with Gangle cutting the adventure short soon after.
In Stargazing, Zooble doesn't do or say much. At the beginning of the short adventure, they offer Gangle a sandwich. Jax later wonders if Gangle thinks that hanging out with Zooble will magically make her happy. He claims that her comedy mask still breaks every day.
In the Bar adventure, Zooble is the bartender, the adventure being one of their suggestions. They later explain that they briefly worked at a bar before ending up in the circus. After asking about Gangle's story, they also admit that they also worked as a tattoo artist for a couple of years. Later on, they place a piece of corn in front of Jax, causing him to begin stressing out, as Zooble asks him if he is afraid of corn, the latter denying it.
In Softball, Kinger takes one of Zooble's eyes to use as a softball when they were missing one. When it was their turn to bat, they left an ear of corn on their chair, later startling Jax.
In the end, they walk off with Gangle and Kinger.
Powers and Abilities Digital physiology: Zooble is one of the trapped humans inside the digital world with their consciousness piloting a digital avatar. Because of this, they can perform abilities that are outside of the general range of normal human capabilities. Absolute Immortality: Because there is no conceivable way to die within the digital world and the fact that Caine cannot control the minds of those who are trapped within, there is currently no way that any of the human characters can or will die. With the closest alternative being "Abstraction." However, this may change in the future. Self-Sustenance: Zooble, along with the other humans in the show, does not need to eat, sleep, or drink. However, they can still do these actions if they choose. Detachable parts: Zooble can detach parts of their body and also attach extra appendages to their body. They can also control parts of themselves outside of their body, such as when Jax detached Zooble's arm, and they began to choke him. Straight Limbs: When Zooble holds their breath, their limbs straighten up, like how the others in the circus cast get a different ability when holding their breath. Mixology: Zooble worked as a bartender for an unspecified amount of time before joining the digital circus. Zooble can be seen serving cocktails and other alcoholic beverages to the other members of the cast without any form of instruction or recipe Trivia Their design is very similar to Gooseworx's YouTube Icon and the character designs from her animations Elaine the Bounty Hunter and Elaine gets Adopted, reflecting the former's geometric characters through Zooble's triangle-shaped head. Zooble's design greatly resembles the appearance of Zolo blocks. During the GlitchX 2023 AMA, Gooseworx mentioned that Zooble was one of the first characters she designed because she likes 90's toys. A screenshot of a Zolo a-go-go Play Sculpture Set was subsequently shown on-stream as one of her inspirations.[7] However, Zooble's name was inspired by Zoobs, a different toy from the early 2000s.[8] Zooble’s character design is also rooted in Memphis Design, an 80s-inspired postmodern design style that emphasizes bright colors, geometric shapes and bold patterns. This is further emphasized by the overall aesthetics of their own room. Zooble is one of the only characters not to have a visible mouth, the other being Kinger. According to a tweet, Zooble doesn't know what their gender is.[2] This is most likely because they're questioning their identity. According to Gooseworx, Zooble uses any pronouns.[9] However, some dubs consistently use specific pronouns for them: In some dubs, like Russian, their pronouns are she/her. In Vietnamese dub, their pronouns are he/him. Meanwhile, some dubs (like German) do not call Zooble by any pronouns. Zooble can control their body components, even when they are separated. This is best seen in the pilot episode, in which they are able to use their right hand to strangle Jax after he takes it for use as a back scratcher. They also have several parts stored away in a "Zooble box" inside their room.[10] The Zooble box has "no end" likely meaning there are infinite parts.[11] According to Gooseworx, Zooble would smoke weed if it was possible.[12][13] Aside from Pomni, Zooble has spent the shortest amount of time in the circus.[14] Zooble's door icon has different parts than what we have seen in the pilot episode. Gooseworx confirmed that their door icon was intentional, as they are constantly testing new parts.[15] Zooble's antennae twitch whenever they are upset. This is seen throughout the "PILOT" episode. Zooble would give the worst hugs.[16] Zooble's character design was the one that was the most fun to make according to Gooseworx.[17] During the GLITCHX TADC AMA, Gooseworx said that Zooble's design will change each episode, with different parts being switched out, but their head and bean body will stay the same. However in the shorts, they still have the same design as the pilot.[18] Zooble can play the drums.[19] At some point before entering the Digital Circus, Zooble was a tattoo artist.[20] Zooble is Gooseworx's second favorite character, with the first being Jax.[21] Gooseworx has stated that Zooble would make the best bartender. Which they confirm in Untitled that they've also worked as one at some point.[22] Zooble was the only character to stick up a middle finger until Jax did so in They All Get Guns.

Quotes Welcome... to the Amazing Digital Circus!! Are YOU ready to see something INCREDIBLE!?...Well too bad! You're gonna see it anyway! Caine in the Teaser
The Creative Artificial Intelligence Networking Entity[1] abbreviated and better known as Caine, is the main antagonist[2] of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus. He is voiced by Alex Rochon, and made his first appearance in the pilot episode. Caine is an AI who portrays himself as the ringmaster of the circus, maintaining the simulation and its residents, alongside his loyal assistant Bubble.
He is the highest artificial intelligence program in the simulation, due to the fact that he can create other AI, being able to levitate indefinitely, is the only one capable of reversing the glitch effect of those attacked by an Abstraction and is able to teleport himself and others to anywhere within the simulation, which includes The Void.
He appears to be responsible for the creation of all the NPCs in the circus, along with the entire Candy Canyon Kingdom, given that Princess Loolilalu refers to him as "God" and given that he can "delete" NPCs who wander into the Circus either intentionally or by accident, due to him being worried that losing track of who is human and who is an AI could cause severe problems later on.
Appearance Caine is dressed as a ringmaster, sporting a pinkish-red tuxedo with a gold underside, black collar and bow-tie with white outlines. He wears a white undershirt with two reddish buttons on it, alongside white gloves and black leggings. Lacking most human features, his head is formed as a pair of dentures with pearly-white teeth and red gums. His eyes, the left one with a green iris and the right one with a blue iris, float inside the jaw. Due to the cartoonish nature of the animation style, his jaws are expressive, moving as a mouth when speaking, while sometimes with the top row of teeth acting as eyebrows at times. Similarly to Bubble, he forms a tongue when needed. To cap it off, he wears a black top hat and tends to hold a gold-tipped baton depending on the situation. Occasionally, he is seen wearing The Wacky Watch.
Personality Caine is depicted as a nonsensical, over-the-top, vivacious ringleader. However, there is an aloofness about him and a significant disconnection towards the traumatic events that the characters around him are experiencing, illustrated by his forgetfulness of Zooble's criticisms of their own form and his adventures.
Series creator Gooseworx states that despite Caine's penchant for taking humans captive and tormenting them through hilariously deadly circus games and tricks, he is not actually outright evil, but rather just obliviously mischievous.[3] She also stated that "there is a whole spectrum of human emotion that he just doesn't feel."[4]
Caine is shown to be secretive at times, often concealing or even lying about information related to his 'unfinished work' to the point of gaslighting the other members, such as when he quickly blamed the exit door which Pomni saw on "Digital Hallucinations". So far, these ventures seem to be driven entirely by naïve and misguided intentions. Despite this, Caine appears to have at least some measure of morality. He does not appear to intentionally inflict harm onto the Circus members and does what he can to entertain them to prevent them from abstracting. He was also clearly depicted having a disdain to any form of cursing or swears which are always censored in the Circus.
Caine has often been seen having tense interactions with Bubble, another member of the Circus and an AI like him. The first incident is after Bubble eats his Angel Food Cake, to which Caine yells at him, calling him a parasite before popping him. Shortly after, as Caine is explaining the Gloinks to the crew, he gets agitated with Bubble's constant questions and pops Bubble once again. However, Caine does appreciate Bubble's company. While the rest of the crew is off on an adventure, Caine and Bubble are seen in a restaurant chatting amongst themselves.
Near the end of Candy Carrier Chaos!, he also expresses some degree of fear that he might lose track of who was A.I. and who was a player, which could lead to problems.
He expresses some degree of insecurity and self-esteem issues, appearing almost obsessed with the enjoyment of his players, leading him to attempt to appeal to Zooble especially due to their lack of engagement. When Zooble criticizes Caine's adventures (and how every other human refuses to criticize them for varying reasons), it causes Caine to have an existential crisis as creating pleasing adventures is "all [he exists] to do!" and "all [he is] good at." This crisis causes him to space out and twitch, while the circus glitches out around him, indicating that his own mental status can have an influence over the circus itself. Caine's insecurity is highlighted further in They All Get Guns, where he dejectedly teleports a pile of guns into the room and "doesn't care anymore" after his ideas are rejected yet again. Then his insecurity apparently gets worse as seen with Caine briefly glitching out after seeing that nobody voted for him as the most popular character.
He is viewed differently by every member of the circus. While Jax believes that Caine cannot do anything intentionally malicious due to it "not being in his nature", others like Zooble believe that the only thing that stops Caine from acting maliciously is the fact that he likes the inhabitants, and they should not try to push their luck; ironic given that Zooble is the one who tests Caine the most and is the only one willing to talk back to him.
Caine's lack of empathy and manipulation is emphasized in Beach Episode, where it is revealed he had deceived the humans into leaving the circus through an elaborately constructed adventure. Even when called out by Jax, Caine makes a half-hearted attempt to justify his actions.
Biography "PILOT" (Episode 1) Caine makes his debut in this episode, introducing himself as the Ringmaster of The Amazing Digital Circus, which transitions into the beginning theme song that introduces all the other characters. He then explains that The Amazing Digital Circus is for all ages and that swearing is censored by Pomni.
Afterward, he gives Pomni a tour of The Circus Grounds and then shows her The Void. He tells Pomni that they don't venture out into The Void often, and stay in The Grounds where Caine can keep his all-seeing eyes on them. As soon as he's done explaining it, Moon says to Caine, "Hello, Caine, I love you," and Caine tells Pomni to go back inside before Moon "gets frisky". He is then disgusted by Bubble's way of cleaning up Pomni's vomit, stating "Why are you like this?" When Pomni mentions that she saw an exit door, Caine tells her she was probably experiencing digital hallucinations, in which when she protests, he insists that she is experiencing digital hallucinations.
After a brief pause, he asks Pomni her name, which she doesn't remember. He then explains that when somebody enters the digital plane, they won't be able to remember their name, which he states is one of the things he doesn't have control over. He then uses a name generator, in which the first name that is spun is "XDDCC" which Caine calls terrible. He then spins it again and lands on "Pomni," which becomes her new name. Caine suddenly bursts out that Jax had a good idea in having a new idea, which Jax protests that he said five minutes ago. He then asks Pomni if she likes things that include adventure, activity, wonder, danger, horror, pain, suffering, agony, death, disease, death (again), and angel food cake, to which he holds one out. Bubble consumes the angel food cake, and Caine yells "You parasite!" At Bubble, popping him. Caine continues, starting to explain his "Gather The Gloinks" adventure. While explaining, Bubble interrupts Caine multiple times, which results in Bubble getting popped again. After he explains the new adventure, he vanishes, leaving a cloud of translucent smoke.
Caine appears again, much later in the episode, on some sort of dinner date with Bubble. Their conversation gets interrupted by an alert on Caine's Wacky Watch, notifying him that one of the performers has entered The Void. He then vanishes again, leaving Bubble at the table. Caine teleports to The Void, grabs Pomni, and teleports back to the Grounds. He looks around, asking "Now, what the heck happened here?" to abstracted Kaufmo's mess. He then asks why nobody told him that Kaufmo abstracted when Kinger explains what happened. Caine snaps his fingers, and abstracted Kaufmo appears. He opens a portal hole in the floor, sending Kaufmo in The Cellar. He then snaps his fingers again, fixing Ragatha from her glitchy form. At the end of the episode, he presents a digital feast for the performers, as a reward for finishing the adventure.
"Candy Carrier Chaos!" (Episode 2) After Pomni wakes up from her dream, she heads to the circus stage where Caine is seen introducing his new adventure. He starts by informing the crew that the Candy Canyon Kingdom has been robbed of their syrup. He tells them to catch the bandits who stole it and bring them to "sweet, buttery justice". After pushing all of the cast though the portal to the kingdom (minus Zooble), he uses a tobacco pipe which produces bubbles instead of smoke, before offering it to Bubble, who declines, saying "No thanks I'm trying to quit." Caine is not seen throughout the adventure in person, but is depicted as a god in a stained-glass window. After the crew arrive back from their adventure along with Gummigoo, Caine welcomes the crew back. When Caine notices that Gummigoo came through, he snaps him out of existence, saying that if he got humans mixed with NPCs, he is scared of what might happen. He then leaves to "go drink water", which he apparently hasn't done in a while, while Pomni has a slight breakdown from losing Gummigoo.
"The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor" (Episode 3) Caine pops out of nowhere after the group discuss how their avatars each have different types of bodily reactions towards holding in their breath. Caine then begins describing his new adventure, which was made with a 'mature' option for the overly serious Zooble, only to find that they have not shown up to hear the pitch. He then teleports the group via a portal to Mildenhall Manor, without Zooble, and starts looking throughout the tent for them. After realizing he could just teleport Zooble in front of him, he does so, and begins a therapy session to try and find out how he can make his adventures more appealing for Zooble. Zooble talks about what they don't like about their existence in the circus, but after they state that, Caine begins to think he's bad at the one thing he was created for at, causing the map to glitch. Zooble makes a comment about about who's therapy session this is is supposed, and Caine snaps out of it. Then they switch places, with Zooble now being the therapist and reluctantly listening to Caine's nonsensical issues regarding the "wild west". Near the end of the episode, Caine ends the therapy session, and teleports the humans back to the circus. He calls them his "meowing milkmaids", to which Jax disgustedly responds by telling him to never call them that again.
"Fast Food Masquerade" (Episode 4) Caine first appears in the episode when all of the main cast (except for Kinger) is in Zooble's room. He descends from the ceiling and asks if anyone said "adventure," to which Pomni tells him no.
They then all go down to the main area where Caine announces the adventure of the day. He announces that the adventure is called "The Curse of the Violent Psychopath Butcher," and that the adventure involved human meat on the walls. He was about to explain the objective of the adventure when Pomni cut him off and requested that they don't have a horror-themed adventure, as she didn't want the adventure to be like the previous one. She explains the adventure to Zooble, to which Zooble asks Caine why he thought they would like that adventure. Caine then told the humans that they should suggest better adventures if they were only going to criticize his ideas. Zooble then points out that they had a suggestion box, which Caine admits he forgot existed.
Caine takes some of the suggestions out of the box and reads them. He reads a suggestion written by Jax, followed by one written by Zooble, where the two both insult each other. Gangle asks if they can have an adventure that's more "normal," to which Caine tells her he doesn't know what counts as "normal" to them. He reads another suggestion which reads, "Let's have one where we all work at a fast food place." Gangle accepts the idea as normal, and so he changes the adventure to "An Honest Hard Day's Work at Spudsy's Restaurant Chain." He then appoints Gangle as the shift manager.
Zooble attempts to leave again, but Caine protests. Kinger proposes that he sits out on the adventure and Zooble takes his place. Zooble tells him that's not how it works, but Caine accepts the suggestion and opens a trapdoor underneath Zooble, taking them directly to Spudsy's before they can object any further. He then opens a portal for the rest of the crew to go through, and all (except Kinger) enter it.
During the adventure, Jax throws Ragatha into a deep fryer to mock Gangle's manager attitude. Gangle says they won't have anything like that around here, to which Jax mockingly inquires what she was going to do. Gangle said she is calling the "upper management", which turned out to be Caine. Gangle tells him they had issues with some employees and if he could punish them at the end of the day if they keep messing up. Caine answers that it is motivation and that's what his adventures had been missing.
Later, Jax asks Zooble about how they're actually doing the job, and Zooble answers they're only doing it so Caine doesn't punish them. Jax says that Caine won't do anything malicious, for it's not in his nature. Zooble responds that the only thing holding Caine back is the fact he likes the humans, and they wouldn't push it, to which Jax agrees.
Caine again appeared to give Gangle her performance review at the end of the day. He points out all the positive things and negative things, and also points out Gangle's trauma in this adventure, making things go wrong. Caine suggests she could put her blame on to someone else, as Gangle was in a higher position. However, Gangle accepted her own faults, and Caine marks her B+ like the rest of her friends (except Kinger, who got A+). Gangle says nothing, and Caine tells that not every executive is as forgiving as him. After Gangle leaves the room, Caine begins to tell "I'm such a good-" and then suddenly starts glitching and shapeshifting.
"Untitled" (Episode 5) After all the members return from the adventure, Caine welcomes them back and calls them "candy hearts and paper flowers." He then flips through his notepad, which contains many drawings of bees, and calls Zooble a "mismatched cash-piano." Suddenly, he yells, "I WILL TEAR YOU TO PIECES – constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated!" He then shouts again, "That's it! Everybody besides Zooble, get over here!"
Next, he shares some adventure ideas:
One where they all tour Caine's amazing chocolate factory and get killed off one by one due to OSHA violations, one where a sentient cardiovascular system goes to war against the United States military, and one where they have to survive in a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland with a telepathic talking dog who is mean to them the whole time.
He asks the others what they think. After Gangle's mask breaks and Ragatha comments that it's a little dark, Caine responds, "I can't tell a compelling story where nothing bad happens! Where's the intrigue? The stakes?" When Bubble brings up sex appeal, Caine admits he doesn't understand what Bubble is talking about.
Caine then questions Zooble's lack of hatred toward the suggestion box ideas. He asks for feedback from the rest of the group, who share differing opinions. Unsure of how to please everyone, Caine comes up with a new idea: a lightning round, where they go through all the suggestion box ideas in rapid succession. The members can skip any adventure they don't like. He opens a portal, and all the members are sucked in.
Later, Caine and Bubble watch President Pomni through a television. Caine comments that Jax's acting is phenomenal and adds that it's hard to believe Jax is vegan.
In Stargazing, Caine watches everything from above. He agrees with the moon that the others look happy, but says that's a bad idea in response to something the moon suggests. Caine becomes concerned that the group prefers the suggestion box ideas over his own adventures. After Bubble swears, Caine exclaims, "Let's go to an intermission!"
Caine's full body appears, then only his head and arm remain. His eyeball distorts into a figure kicking his other eyeball, which falls offscreen. Dentures chomp repeatedly, looping with more teeth appearing. They eventually land in Caine's hand, which itself loops into a larger Caine holding a smaller version of himself, as the camera pans out. The loop ends with the final Caine setting them down and flying into a white dot.
Caine is then surrounded by eyeballs and presents himself in a godly manner. The camera circles him, then pans into the void, revealing Pomni's head next to Bubble. Bubble immediately prepares to bite Pomni's head. Two gloves crush both Pomni's head and Bubble, revealed to be Caine's gloves. He opens them again, revealing the cast holding hands.
Bubble's teeth chomp down on Caine, transitioning him to a black void with red spots trailing downward. The scene immediately shifts to a black background, where Caine's white gloves now have a black-and-white outline. The gloves point upward before multiplying and hovering over one another. They make multiple gestures and continue to multiply, forming long, parallel lines of hands. The camera zooms into them rapidly, entering the hole of a top hat. Mannequins are then seen dancing, and the scene switches to Caine looking up. The camera slowly zooms in, and is then interuppted by Zooble saying "Caine, what are we doing right now?" Caine replies, "We're intermissioning!" and Zooble asks "Why?". Caine does not reply. Bubble then appears on the screen, saying "And now back to the show!"
Caine later interrupts Zooble's adventure short, and presents himself in "Good Ol' Fashioned Softball" as a position of authority and a commentator. Later, when Zooble asked Caine for another ball, Caine spawns another ball in response to the order. Upon the characters return, Caine tells them that he's hoped that they've learned to appreciate his adventures as objectively better than the suggestion box adventures, to which Zooble responds that some of them were alright, while Jax favours his own suggestions.
"They All Get Guns" (Episode 6) Caine first appears in this episode breaking the fourth wall, stating that he's working on the Favourite Character Awards. He later comes when Jax shouts his name, and tells him that Zooble is hiding in a flower pot, which Caine breaks, and tells everybody to gather in a few minutes. Caine says that the day's adventure would be a short one, as he's busy with planning the Award Show, and as a result, the adventure would be to show the characters' strengths for the voting.
Zooble rejects the idea, and says that they should get one from the suggestion box. Caine says the suggestion box is unacceptable, to which Zooble claims if Caine wants to know what they "really wants," it is the ability to have sex, to which Caine glitches and resets, and says that teamwork is essential to dreamwork.
Caine wants to do a trust exercise, where he summons a pistol and a box, he explains the rules and how people should follow the rules and trust each other, after Jax just outright shoots Ragatha, Caine decides that he's not bothered to dealt with that in which he spawns a bunch of guns, after a mini-argument, everyone agrees on 2v2v2, 3 lives and you're out, and Caine goes to relax, before looking at some pictures of the C&A office.
Caine later appears in the Award Show, awarding the "Biggest Sailor Mouth Award" to Zooble, and then, says it's time for the Favourite Character Award. Caine misreads the winner as himself, before correcting himself and saying that it was Ming, to which Ming says that Caine shouldn't have assumed anything, and that they both look foolish now. After the show, Caine goes to check how many people voted for him, after discovering that nobody voted for him, he gets upset, and his eyes momentarily glitch.
"Beach Episode" (Episode 7) Caine first appears in this episode by narrating a letter left by him for the main characters, stating that he'll be gone to 'get essential ingredients' for his Milk and Cigarette Casserole, though he would later be seen right next to the main characters, reading out the entire letter for them.
After Ragatha asks Caine about if there'll be a new adventure today, he would say that he doesn't have an adventure for them today, though he'd later ask the characters, specifically towards Zooble, for 'suggestions on what to do instead', which Zooble denies, however Gangle asks the question instead, to which Caine answers by consulting the so-called 'Chinese room' to answer the question instead, though it is later revealed that he does not understand Chinese. Afterwards, he then suggests the main characters to hang out at the 'digital lake', stating that these locations have 'just kinda been there' for the entire time, before disappearing into thin air.
In Caine's second appearance in this episode, he would be seen having a conversation with Jax at what appears to be a restaurant, with the latter reluctantly listening due to him needing to reach into his mouth to grab the key to his office whilst being 'frozen up', before being teleported back to the circus after doing so.
Afterwards, Caine would only make an appearance at the end of the episode, where he surprises the main characters, saying that they picked the 'good ending' for pressing the red button in the console room, which would've closed said console and keep all 'players' inside the circus, with the blue button taking them to 'Shrimp Town' if they pressed it instead, according to Bubble.
After the revelation, Jax would then start to laugh maniacally before lashing out at Caine, saying that he 'can mess with their minds', before stating that 'may have the ability to add temporary modifiers' to make adventures more interesting, and saying that if he did anything other than that, it 'would not end well', to which Kinger would respond by indirectly revealing that another character known as Scratch had abstracted due to the same reason. Caine would then, in a panic, respond by saying that he 'didn't say anything like that', and that he's here to only have fun.
Afterwards, he would later give the characters a gift basket of soaps and lotion before disappearing once again, ending the episode.
Powers and Abilities As the highest artificial intelligence program in the digital world, Caine is the most powerful entity within the Digital Circus and is the creator of all other A.I. in the circus. Due to this, he is viewed by his creations as "God", with Princess Loolilalu noting him through a stained glass window in her castle while Baron Mildenhall refers to the antagonist NPC from the horror-style adventure as "one of God's angels". Despite his immense power over the digital world, he has admitted that there are a few things outside his control and isn't fully aware of everything that happens:
Cyberspace Lordship: Being the ringmaster of The Amazing Digital Circus, Caine has almost complete control and rulership of it and its inhabitants and has no known master or superior to him. Cyberspace Nigh-Omnipotence: Caine appears to have complete control over The Amazing Digital Circus, with him being able to create, manipulate, and control anything within its boundaries. Psychology Manipulation: Though he claims otherwise, Caine appears to have some limited control over the minds of those in the digital realm. Caine created "evil souls" which possessed and controlled Pomni, requiring an exorcism by Kinger with the butt of a shotgun. Caine created a substance known as "Stupid Sauce" which significantly dampened Ragatha's intelligence for a brief period of time after the sauce splashed in her eye. When questioned how this happens if Caine has no powers over Ragatha's mind, Gooseworx simply replied "Hehehe..."[5] Despite claiming to not have any control over the minds of others, the vote to make Jax vegan in Untitled seemed to affect Jax's actual psychology, much to the latter's shock, as he believed Caine wasn't capable of it. Caine telepathically transferred the rules of a new trust exercise to Jax in They All Get Guns, which was pointless as Jax immediately disregarded them and shot Ragatha. Cyberspace Omnificence: Caine has been shown to be able to create anything, including virtual food, a random name spinner, and a virtual species called "Gloinks" along with the "Gloink Queen". In episode 2, he is responsible for creating an entire kingdom and its surrounding landscape, containing at least hundreds of NPCs, along with at least five new developed A.I. that are "57 times more immersive" than Gloinks. Virtual Reality Manipulation: Caine is shown to have complete control of the environment in the digital world. He can heal glitched characters, and put the Abstracted into the Cellar. Cyberspace Nigh-Omniscience: Caine is implied to have almost complete awareness of the digital world and what is happening in it. It is shown that he was aware when Pomni exited The Digital Amazing Circus into the void. He also somehow knew that Pomni used one of the exit doors. However, he does not have any awareness or knowledge of the Void and has a hard time being able to differentiate his own NPC creations from humans due to them all looking cartoonish, thus why he doesn't want any NPCs in the circus unless they're intended to be there, such as the Sun, Moon and Bubble. Cyberspace Sustainer: Caine is not only the master of the digital world, but also appears to be what sustains it as he admits to Zooble that being the ringmaster who makes adventures for the human inhabitants to go on is all he exists to do and is the only thing he's good at doing. However, when he learns from Zooble that he is "bad at the only thing he's good at", it causes his code to start contradicting itself, which in turn results in the entire Digital Circus to begin glitching out violently until Zooble manages to snap him out of it, resulting in everything going back to normal. Teleportation: Caine is able to go from one point to another within the digital world, as he was shown teleporting in and out of The Amazing Digital Circus, and saving Pomni by teleporting her from the void back into the digital world. Toon Force: Caine can manipulate his own body parts and proportions with ease and without harming himself. He can stretch, bend and warp his limbs, eyes, teeth and tongue to impossible lengths. Flight: Caine has the ability to fly, or hover in the air freely. He can also cause other characters to float/fly at will such as Pomni and Abstracted Kaufmo. Amorphous Eyes: Caine is able to control his eyes' shape and make them move around, as shown in POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE, he played Hacky Sack with one of his eyes using the other. Fourth Wall Breaking: Caine was able to talk to the audience in the intro of the PILOT.

Trivia Caine has complete heterochromia, meaning he has two different-colored eyes. In a behind the scenes video for POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE, Kevin Temmer revealed that the green eye is named Jeffery. Additionally, Kevin Temmer made a music video about Jeffery. Gooseworx has stated that Caine is inspired by the supercomputer "AM", the main antagonist of the 1968 short story I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison, who had caused the extinction of humanity during World War III and whisked the only five survivors into his complex to torture for eternity. However, she mentioned that Caine is essentially what AM would be "if he was a zany fun lil' guy" instead of "a crazed sadist who embodied absolute hatred", who wasn't fully aware that his various "circus games" were harmful to his performers/captives.[6] He is also inspired by Four (BFB), who in the show has killed many characters. They are also very menacing similar to Caine.[7] Caine also has similarities to GLaDOS from the Portal games, given his overall control over the local dominion, having a level of frustration with his human wards, and remaining strict with his programing to continue the activities of the organization, (for GLaDOS it was testing the portal gun, for Caine it is hosting adventures for those in the circus). Gooseworx has jokingly stated that Caine's acronym was Creative Ass Insertion Newlywed Experiences.[8] Even Caine gets weirded out by some of the things Bubble does. For example, he asks Bubble why he is like he is when he licks up Pomni's puke and calls Bubble a parasite when he eats Caine's entire generated cake. According to Gooseworx during GLITCHX 2023: His voice was inspired by Alex Rochon's voice acting as Spamton from Deltarune.[9] This was also mentioned by Gooseworx on tumblr when they clarified that he was partially inspired by Four (BFB).[7] "There's a whole spectrum of emotion that Caine just doesn't feel," which makes it difficult for him to empathize with the human characters.[10] When asked if Gooseworx thinks Caine is an antagonist, she replied with "I wouldn't call Caine a villain, but I would call him an antagonist" and states that he "doesn't mean harm but he causes harm" and is "an obstacle for these characters a lot of the time."[11] Caine lets things happen if he thinks it's funny.[12] Caine doesn't need to brush his teeth, but he could if he wanted to.[13] His name, Caine, is possibly a pun on the dental term "canine," which denotes a pointed tooth typically located between the incisors and premolars in mammals. It could also come from Novocaine, a sedative commonly used in dental procedures. Caine's English name may also be inspired by the biblical character Cain, who has a sibling named Abel. Moreover, the name of the C&A company found inside the exit door could be "Cain and Abel."[14] This has been confirmed in They All Get Guns, where, in a close-up of Jax's revolver, we see "CAINE AND ABEL" on the barrel of the gun. We also see the C&A logo on the side towards the back. The biblical Cain is best known for having killed his brother Abel, for which he is exiled “out of the sight of God”. It is later briefly mentioned that Cain then built a city, which is the first city mentioned in the Bible. A common interpretation is that Cain needed to build the city in order for people to live without God’s presence. This may correspond with Caine being trapped in a virtual world and building the circus to keep people there sane. Cain killed Abel out of envy, because God accepted Abel’s offering and refused Cain’s. Caine has a similar obsession with his adventures being accepted by the cast and the “committee”. Caine's name in reverse is Eniac; ENIAC was the first programmable general-purpose computer, built in 1945. He came up with his own name, first coming up with "Creative Artificial Intelligence Networking Entity", before turning it into an acronym to seem more professional.[1] Caine would fall for all verbal pranks, such as up-dog.[15] A Twitter post by Gooseworx showed a drawing (link) that resembled Caine but with only ears and a nose, Glitch Productions replied, "Caine's evil brother, Paine." Caine has no knowledge of the internet.[16] On the Spanish dub of the Pilot, Caine specifically mentions that a person's chosen name cannot be transphobic. This is not said in any other dub. In the Polish dub of The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor, when the humans get back from the adventure, he refers to them as "Skibidi Sigmas", whereas in the English dub, he simply refers to them as "Meowing milkmaids". Caine is considered the second most difficult character to animate (after Gangle) because his teeth have to both lip sync and fill in for facial expressions at the same time. His upper teeth deform to express emotion in the same way that eyebrows normally would. Caine does not have a sexuality[17], he is unable to understand sexual things as well, which is unlike other AIs.

Caine! Kaufmo went through a sort of Kaufmosis and abstracted! Kinger to Caine, "PILOT"
Kaufmo, "PRESENTING MY FINEST WORK YET POMNI!!" What's up, guys?
Kaufmo was a character from Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus, and a former resident of The Amazing Digital Circus. He debuted as the main antagonist of the pilot episode, where it was revealed that he had abstracted some time before Pomni arrived. After being caught by Caine, he was dropped into the Cellar.
Appearance Kaufmo was a noseless clown with white skin and black button eyes. He wore a plain yellow clown suit with a blue collar and red pom-pom buttons, with a matching party hat and white gloves. He had small triangular markings around his eyes and thick red lips.
In his abstracted form, he is a black, rapidly glitching monster with four short, stubby legs and a long neck without a defined head, somewhat resembling of that to an Alpaca or a horse. His entire body is covered with various colorful, rapidly flicking eyes.
Personality Not much is known about Kaufmo's personality. According to the other characters, he liked to tell jokes, and became upset when the others didn't find them funny. In his reveal, however, Glitch Productions refers to him as "everyone's favorite jokester".[1]
In the pilot, it's revealed by Kinger that Kaufmo had been unstable as of late, unable to talk or think about anything other than an exit from the Circus. His instability reaches its peak shortly before Ragatha, Jax, and the newly arrived Pomni open the door to his room.
Biography "PILOT" (Episode 1) During the theme song to the show, Kaufmo's usual spot is replaced with a cardboard cut-out, as he's been refusing to leave his room.
Pomni, Jax, and Ragatha eventually go to check up on him, concerned about his lack of appearance and wanting Pomni to meet him. It's soon revealed that Kaufmo has abstracted in his room, having gone completely insane thinking about the exit. In his abstracted form, he goes on a rampage, violently attacking Ragatha and chasing Pomni through the Circus. After losing track of Pomni, he starts to notice the Gloinks running around the Circus and starts to pursue them instead. He successfully attacks several Gloinks, a red monkey from a monkey barrel, and eventually the Gloink Queen.
After Kinger is able to inform Caine that Kaufmo has abstracted, he proceeds to put him in The Cellar with the other abstracted characters.
"Candy Carrier Chaos!" (Episode 2) After leaving the Candy Canyon Kingdom, Ragatha holds a funeral for Kaufmo with all the other humans, except for Jax. Jax is briefly seen with a sad expression when Ragatha discusses the funeral, before storming off.
“Untitled” (Episode 5) Kaufmo makes a brief cameo in this episode in the intermission (this time with his portrait crossed out) with Jax running through the halls before making it to Ribbit’s door and looking at it. An abstracted performer appears in a picture frame in the President Pomni part, but it is unknown if it is him or a different performer. He is also seen at a ad board in the Good 'Ol Fashioned Softball field, where there is an ad that said Kaufmo-Tire.
"They All Get Guns” (Episode 6) While recovering from a massive gun attack of Zooble's, Jax briefly looks at Kaufmo's door. During his argument with Pomni, Jax admits that he never gets close to humans. Outraged, Pomni asked if that was why he didn't attend Kaufmo's funeral, this made Jax mad as pointed out that she didn't even know him before he abstracted.
Trivia Kaufmo's design was revealed a mere 48 hours before the pilot's release. Notably, he didn't show up during the "MEET THE GANG" promo video, even though he was a member of the cast before Pomni entered. This is likely because he had abstracted, so he was physically and mentally unable to show up for promotional material. Gooseworx joked that Jack Black voiced Kaufmo for zero lines.[2] WizardWiz tweeted that they were the voice actor for Kaufmo, though the character has no dialogue.[3] Gooseworx has confirmed this, and has also mentioned that WizardWiz's improvised lines were discarded for being considered too offensive-- though this could be a joke.[4] Kaufmo makes a small cameo in the teaser of the pilot, where his abstracted leg pokes out, looking like he is about to run out, from his door when Caine struggles to switch backgrounds. Its unknown if the bowling ball in Kaufmo’s room was mutually shared between him and Jax or if it was Jax’s and he trusted Kaufmo to watch over it. As stated by Gooseworx on "GLITCHX 2023", Kaufmo was originally going to be part of the main cast, but he was removed after Jax was developed as she thought that it would've been too many characters.[5] In the same AMA, Gooseworx stated that in the original plan, Kaufmo "was the same as Ragatha, in a sense, [in] that he was always friendly and happy and always goofing around." Kovach completed her answer, saying that he was a "very cheery, optimistic, toxic positivity kind of clown character." If Kaufmo hadn't been abstracted, Pomni possibly would have been good friends with him, though annoyed by his jokes.[6] Kaufmo's first speaking appearance happens in PRESENTING MY FINEST WORK YET POMNI!!. Presumably voiced by Arin Hanson.[7]

Quotes But what are they? And what do they do? And how do they- Bubble to Caine before being popped for interrupting him
Bubble is the secondary antagonist of Glitch Productions' indie animated series The Amazing Digital Circus, voiced by series creator Gooseworx. Like his owner Caine, he is an artificial intelligence[1] taking the form of a living bubble that seems both subservient and friendly to Caine, living inside his hat until called upon. He can be popped and returned into Caine's top hat.
Appearance As his name suggests, Bubble is a large, round bubble with large, sharp, even teeth constantly displaying a vacant expression. Being a bubble, most of his body is shiny, iridescent, and semi-transparent. His eyes are black dots. When it is necessary, Bubble can form a long, reddish-silver tongue. When his mouth is closed, his teeth are still faintly outlined. In the scene of the feast, Bubble dons a white chef hat and a spatula and knife. His pupils are capable of enlarging.
Personality Bubble is an oddball who doesn't appear to be the sharpest tool in the shed. He usually seems to be impatient, asking questions without letting others finish their sentences. He seems pretty laid-back and is often found being popped by Caine. However, as of Untitled, he started to swear.
Biography "PILOT" (Episode 1) Bubble first appears in the episode "PILOT" in the theme song. He is Caine's assistant, as shown when Pomni vomits on the floor and Bubble starts to clean it up with his tongue, much to Caine's disgust. A few moments later, Caine holds out an angel food cake for Pomni, in which Bubble consumes it. In return, Caine calls Bubble a parasite and then pops him. He is then seen again when Caine is explaining "Gather the Gloinks!" where he frequently interrupts Caine until he pops him again. Later in the episode, he is seen with Caine at a restaurant and cooks the digital meal at the end.
"Candy Carrier Chaos!" (Episode 2) While Caine is describing the adventure in the Candy Canyon Kingdom, Bubble is seen floating next to Caine, and also serves as his assistant, by revealing a bottle of Maple Syrup enclosed within his mouth which he reveals as part of the explanation. Upon hearing the information he claims that it "Sounds sticky!", to which Caine replies "Very sticky indeed!" He proceeds to say something that is bleeped out, leaving watchers and the rest of the inhabitants of the Circus Members to wonder what Bubble said. Following that, Caine comments that Bubble cannot say whatever they said, leaving viewers to wonder how egregious Bubble's profanity was. After Caine sends the Circus Inhabitants to the Candy Canyon Kingdom, Bubble floats down next to Caine while Caine smokes from a tobacco pipe that produces bubbles, refusing the offer to use it himself by saying "No thanks, I'm trying to quit."
"The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor" (Episode 3) After Caine explains the new adventure to the crew, Bubble begins to speak in reverse. Once reversed, Bubble's quote was revealed as "I can't wait for all the children in the audience to get horrible nightmares from the monster!”. Later, when Caine is trying to get Zooble on his adventures, he tries to hide that his feelings are hurt by claiming Bubble's feelings would be hurt instead. Once the crew were finished with their adventure, Bubble can be seen with Caine's top hat floating next to him, who is currently gaining a therapy session from Zooble.
"Fast Food Masquerade" (Episode 4) When Caine rips off the suggestion box, it creates a leak of water, so he has Bubble clog it with his tongue. Eventually, Bubble stops and has a drink.
"Untitled" (Episode 5) After Caine mentions the stakes of his adventures, Bubble comes and mentions "sex appeal", and he says "Disgusting!" after Caine talks to him about Zooble's suggestion. Then Caine pops Bubble before he introduces the adventure. In the "President Pomni" adventure, he nods in agreement when Caine says that Jax's acting is phenomenal. In between "President Pomni" and the anime adventure, Bubble floats by a hallway and blares distorted feedback. At the end of the "Stargazing" adventure, Bubble asks Caine to explain to "Daddy Bubble" why the circus members being happy is a bad thing.
When Caine asks him what to do, Bubble tells Caine to die, before correcting himself to say he should throw a Censorbarboinging beach party. Bubble appears a few times in the intermission section, at one point trying to bite Pomni. After Zooble questions why Caine is "intermissioning", Bubble ends the intermission, introducing the audience back to the show and winking. In the softball adventure, Bubble hangs out in the press box and says "BLEEEH" while sticking his tongue out, improperly responding to Caine's question.
"They All Get Guns" (Episode 6) As Caine describes the cast's latest adventure, Bubble is seen struggling to balance a camera on top of himself, even asking Caine help to no avail. Later on, Bubble records Ragatha and Kinger's conversation, stating it was breathtaking and how the committee's gonna love it, before flying off.
At the Favorite Character Awards, Bubble assists Caine with providing a drumroll sound out of his mouth.

Trivia He is voiced by Gooseworx, the creator of The Amazing Digital Circus, who had also voiced Moon. Both Bubble and Kinger's "Meet the Gang!" teasers are connected. Bubble's design resembles that of a Chain Chomp and a tongue similar to a Boo from the Super Mario franchise. According to Gooseworx on Tumblr, when Bubble is popped, he feels no pain. In fact, it feels really really good.[2] Gooseworx also claims that "you don't wanna know" where Bubble goes when popped.[3] Bubble is the only character who has received a character teaser but is not a performer, does not have a dedicated room, and is an assistant of Caine. According to Gooseworx on Tumblr, when presented with it, Bubble would drink a bottle of L'Oréal Kids Strawberry Smoothie Shampoo.[4] It has also been stated that Caine would possibly do this as well.[4] He had a smoking addiction and is still trying to quit. Bubble is the only character that has sworn and been censored with a normal bleep rather than Caine's built in one. He's also the first AI that swore, and according to Caine, that isn't normal. Caine, however, says "ass" uncensored in the very next episode. In the promotional short WATCH ME MERGE THEM, Bubble has a cousin named La Buble.

Quotes Well... But- Uh- Yet- YOU'RE STILL WATCHING IT! Gloink Queen's response to Jax calling the Gloink Queen's speech "dumb and weird"
The Gloink Queen is a minor antagonist in The Amazing Digital Circus, voiced by Elsie Lovelock. She is an artificial intelligence created by Caine as the final boss in his "Gather the Gloinks" adventure game, featuring as a royal figure to all Gloinkonians as the "mother" of all Gloinks.
Appearance The Gloink Queen is a massive red worm-like being with yellow spots and two blue stripes. The stripes run down the length of her body and create two openings that resemble a zipper, one opening being a mouth and the other being used to birth Gloinks. However, the latter also resembles a mouth. With both ends being scattered with sharp teeth and possessing long, sharp tongues. When she devours a table in the pilot, Gloinks are birthed through the opposite end, implying she reproduces through the consuming of mass. Both ends of her body sport eleven eyes of varying sizes that feature white pupils and black irises.
Personality The Gloink Queen is a prideful, snake-like creature that despises species other than her fellow Gloinkonians. The only desire she infers is her undying will to procreate as much as possible, to keep the Gloinkonian bloodline alive. It also seems that she is easy to offend as evident with taking offense at Jax insulting her.
Biography "PILOT" (Episode 1) The Gloink Queen can be seen at the end of the episode, when Jax, Kinger and Gangle follow the Gloinks underground to reclaim Zooble's pieces. The Gloink Queen appears to eat anything the Gloinks give her, and use it to produce new Gloinks out of her other mouth. She argues with Jax, saying that everything will be Gloinks, when an Abstracted Kaufmo falls through the ceiling and proceeds to viciously assault her. She starts to glitch out, but it is unknown if she was reverted after Caine placed Kaufmo in The Cellar.
"Fast Food Masquerade" (Episode 4) The Gloink Queen is seen with the Gloinks riding across the drive-thru window when Jax asks to himself if she counts as a bus. In the next scene, a line of mannequin NPCs are waiting for Pomni. The Gloink Queen goes ahead anyway and eats the mannequins, cutting in line. She rudely requests three hundred cheeseburgers for the Gloinks. Pomni sees Gummigoo and the gang leaving Spudsy's and tells the Gloink Queen to wait, running after the gang. As Pomni leaves, the Gloink Queen sees the Gloinks torturing a mannequin NPC, telling the Gloinks to leave them alone. While Pomni is talking to Gummigoo, the Gloink Queen can be seen talking to Ragatha (who was under the influence of the stupid sauce at the time). When Ragatha questioned if the Gloink Queen gave each Gloink had their own individual name, the Gloink Queen sounded offended at the mere suggestion she wouldn't, asking what kind of mother she would be if she didn't love and cherish every Gloink she gave birth to, something which Ragatha found beautiful. Once the Gloink Queen leaves at dinner time, Pomni says to herself, "Well, that was more info on Gloink reproduction than I ever needed to know", implying the Gloink Queen had explicitly explained to Pomni how Gloinks (and/or Gloink Queens/Kings) reproduce.
Trivia After being attacked by the abstracted Kaufmo, she starts jumbling. It is unknown if this was reverted by Caine at the end of the episode. Viewers being left with a minor cliffhanger and left on speculation to what happened to the Gloink Queen afterwards. Given her reappearance in "Fast Food Masquerade", she was likely restored by Caine following the adventure. Elsie Lovelock's recordings as the Gloink Queen are heavily filtered, which is why the Gloink Queen speaks in a deep distorted rumbling male-sounding voice. Her voice actress, Elsie Lovelock, is also known for portraying Mommy Long Legs in Poppy Playtime, Uzi Doorman in Murder Drones, Evelyn Claythorne in Meta Runner and Meggy Spletzer in SMG4. It was stated by Gooseworx during the Digital Circus section of the GLITCH-X stream that the Gloink Queen was heavily inspired by the Empress Bulblax from Pikmin 2.[1] Gooseworx confirmed on her Tumblr that there is a Gloink King. The Gloink King looks like a normal Gloink and dies immediately after mating, possibly implying that the Gloink Queen has had more than one mate.[2] While talking with Ragatha in the episode, "Fast Food Masquerade", the Gloink Queen says that she names all of her Gloink children. These names include Blumby, Skethers, and Leotthew.

Gloinks are small mischievous critters that steal anything and everything they run into. Why do these humanoid hash browns do this? How do you stop them? That's for you to find out. Caine explaining the Gloinks
Gloinks are minor NPCs in The Amazing Digital Circus. They are known for coming in various shapes and colors and their desire to steal random objects.
History Gloinks first make their appearance in the "PILOT", serving as Caine's adventure to "warm up" Pomni on how things work around the Digital Circus, where the characters have to collect all the Gloinks, who then subsequently and immediately take apart and steal the multiple body parts of Zooble, serving as the secondary "conflict" for the characters throughout the episode.
Appearance Gloinks have no set appearance, as all of them appear differently, however they do have similarities. All Gloinks appear as geometric shapes which can range from stars to bowling pins, and all have at least two asymmetrically-sized eyes with no iris, having just a black ring, similar to the Gloink Queen, as well as lips which vary in color. All Gloinks will vary in shapes and color, including the color of the lips.
Personality Gloinks are relatively simple in nature, stealing whatever objects that they can find, attaching or welding themselves to the object and bringing it to the Gloink Queen. The objects are then consumed by the queen, being converted and spit out as another Gloink.
Biography "PILOT" (Episode 1) Before the adventure, one gloink hits Jax in the face.
The Gloinks are introduced in Caine's "Gather The Gloinks!" adventure, in which they disassemble Zooble and carry them off. Later in the episode, bowling pin shaped ones can be seen when Jax, Kinger and Gangle go down the Gloink Queen's nest. The Gloinks bring The Gloink Queen anything they latch onto, after which she makes more Gloinks.
"Fast Food Masquerade" (Episode 4) During the adventure at Spudsy's, the Gloinks are seen riding on top of their mother and are witnessed by Jax from a drive-thru window, who wonders if the Gloink Queen and her spawn count as a bus. For lunch, the Gloink Queen orders 300 cheeseburgers for her spawn, three of which are seen attacking a mannequin before their mother tells them to stop. Ragatha manages to complete 6 burgers for the Gloink Queen's order, while the rest are done by Zooble.
The Gloinks and their mother are later seen leaving the restaurant at dinner time, after the Gloink Queen explained to a traumatized Pomni how Gloink reproduction works.
Trivia It's unknown if they can talk, but the Gloink Queen, the progenitor of their kind, can and is sentient. Caine refers them as "humanoid hash browns", despite neither being humanoid nor resembling a hash brown in shape. They have names. The Gloink Queen calls 3 Gloinks by name in "Fast Food Masquerade". The names in question are Blumpy, Skethers, and Leotthew. They are given different names in other dubs, most of times referencing something: Arabic dub: Dibyaza, Kishmiri and Karawita, referencing a meme video of an arabic man naming his three kittens. French dub: Riri, Fifi and Loulou, the french name of the Disney characters Huey, Dewey, and Louie. German dub: Uzi, V and Cyn, the name of characters from Murder Drones, a series made by the same company, Glitch Productions. Polish dub: Tytuś, Romuś and Atomuś, wich are diminutive names of the main characters of the Polish comic series Tytus, Romek, and A'Tomek Portuguese dub: Bumbloso, Esquetaldo and Leoteus, these names doesn't reference anything, but is a spanish adaption of the english names. Russian dub: Gorrister, Nimdok and Benny, characters from the 1967 short story "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream". Spanish dub: Noelia, Pablo and Denisse, the names of the Spanish voice actors of Pomni (Noelia Lestani), Jax (Pablo Gandolfo) and Gangle (Denisse Leguizamo).

Personality While not much is known about Dr. Football's personality, it is shown that they aren't comfortable exposing themselves to people they don't know, such as Pomni. They are also known to be quite aggressive, as seen when Dr. Football attempts to attack Pomni out of their bathroom by launching a huge angry face resembling a Tragedy mask into her direction.
Biography "PILOT" (Episode 1) In the pilot, when Pomni was opening doors looking for Caine, one of the doors led to a room where Dr. Football is seen taking a bath. Dr. Football ends up attempting to attack Pomni with a huge angry face, which ends up scaring Pomni out of the room.
Trivia They are not a qualified doctor, nor do they even know what football is.[1] They are most likely a reference to the Violin girl scene from Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Boss! Where have you been? We got fudged. Max, in "Candy Carrier Chaos!", upon reuniting with Gummigoo
Max is an NPC who appears in "Candy Carrier Chaos!" as one of the main antagonists, he is apart of the three crocodile bandits who stole the Candy Canyon Kingdom's maple syrup. He also makes a minor appearance in "Fast Food Masquerade".
Appearance Max is a purple-fading-into-red gummy crocodile with a white underbelly, white eyes and a brown bowler hat with a red band. He also wears an open face brown vest. He is the shortest amongst the gang and he also has short arms.
Personality While he is quite goofy and not as serious as Gummigoo, Max is very caring about others, especially Chad and Gummigoo. He usually refers to Gummigoo as "boss".
Biography Max is first seen holding an egg and a candy cane dagger with Chad while having a campfire, Gummigoo then noticed that the humans' truck is heading towards them and orders Chad and Max to get in their truck.
While chasing the humans, when Pomni lands on their truck Max attempted to catch her but he couldn't because his arms are too short, Jax's shoe gun hit him and made him fall off the truck. Luckily, he caught on to the rope of the anchor that Kinger threw at Pomni that landed at the back of the truck and kept striking several poses while being dragged along with it, after some time Gummigoo tells him to get back up since Max didn't think of doing that before.
When the trucks fall down the path and land into a chocolate river, Max claims that he saw the grim reaper “wink at him". When the bandits' truck got to the surface of the river, when Ragatha asks him and Chad if they are sure that Pomni and Gummigoo had disappeared, Max said that it's unusual for their boss to disappear with a random jester. Before the humans leave, Max is seen dancing in the background with Chad while Pomni tells the other humans why Gummigoo should go to the circus with them.
Trivia While Max is striking poses, a white flash occurs, along with a brass hit at different pitches. This is a direct reference to taunting from the indie game Pizza Tower that Peppino (or The Noise) does while striking a pose. Max and Chad seem to be opposites; Max is short, fat, and has small arms while Chad is tall, thin, and has long arms. This is played for laughs when they both find themselves in the exact situation that suits them the least, with Max needing long arms to grab Pomni and Chad needing shorter arms to operate the gear stick. Both Max and Chad are possibly named after the two hosts of the Podcast/YouTube channel "Cold Ones".[1] His appearance is based on that of a real gummy crocodile, although no gummy crocodile has his specific color scheme.[2]

Oi! Don't get to comfy, lads. Looks like they've sent someone after us. Gummigoo in "Candy Carrier Chaos!"
Quotes Gummigoo is a supporting character in The Amazing Digital Circus. He is an NPC in the form of a gummy crocodile. He makes his debut in the episode Candy Carrier Chaos! as its main antagonist up until his redemption, and reappears as a minor character in Fast Food Masquerade. He is the leader of the three crocodile bandits, along with Max and Chad. He is voiced by Jack Hawkins.
Appearance Gummigoo is a yellow-fading-into-green gummy crocodile with a white underbelly, white eyes and a brown cowboy-looking hat. He has a slim build, and rounded spines going down his back.
Like his friends, Gummigoo speaks with an Australian accent.
Personality Gummigoo is shown to be a caring individual. Although he initially appears to be a mere bandit, the maple syrup he was stealing was intended to save his mother, and many other people in his village. When finding out that he is an NPC, however, he briefly falls into a state of despair, no longer believing his life had any value, until Pomni offers to take him to the circus. He is also shown to care for Chad and Max, asking Pomni to not "drag 'em down with me", or reveal to them that they are mere NPCs, as that could cause them to have existential crises just like he did. However, he can be rough at times, once yelling at Max to "quit mucking about".
Biography "Candy Carrier Chaos!" (Episode 2) Gummigoo, alongside Max and Chad stole the Candy Canyon Kingdom's maple syrup to save an unnamed village that he inhabited with the goal to bring it back and help his mom. After clipping through the ground due to the bandit's truck interacting with the faulty collision and falling out of the Map, he goes through an existential crisis after seeing his own model and learning that he is an NPC. After he and Pomni clip back into bounds and reunite with their respective friends, he was convinced by Pomni to try living in the Circus. Unfortunately, due to being an NPC, this was short-lived as he was almost immediately exploded into confetti by Caine, making Pomni despair.
"Fast Food Masquerade" (Episode 4) He returns in Fast Food Masquerade, however, due to him being an NPC, he has completely forgotten about his relationship with Pomni, and thus is shocked to find that pomni knows his name but still wishes her a good day at the end. He is also no longer criminal nor antagonistic since this adventure simply has him as a normal customer at Spudsy's.
Trivia Gummigoo, along with Pomni, are the only two characters that have discovered the Test Level. Similar to Pomni and Jax, Gummigoo's eyes change when under stress or panicking, growing from solid white circles into ring shapes, resembling the characters of Murder Drones. Gummigoo's puke texture, along with Pomni, uses the same texture as the Metal Cap from Super Mario 64. This may imply that all characters in the digital circus puke with the same texture. Gummigoo's name is misspelled as "Gumigoo" in the ending credits of Candy Carrier Chaos!. This was corrected in Fast Food Masquerade. Gummigoo is temporarily revived in A Very Special Digital Circus Song as a plushie like the main characters. He now seems to have no personality beyond saying stereotypical Australian words and phrases like "crikey" and "down under" before glitching and exploding again - which further traumatizes Pomni. Caine also makes it clear that his for-sale keychain is not edible. Gummigoo's appearance is based on that of a real gummy crocodile.[1] Gummigoo was briefly alluded in The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor. Pomni asked Caine to assure her if the NPCs aren't going to become self-aware, not wanting to go through what happened with Gummigoo due to him exploding. Gummigoo makes a cameo appearance in "Untitled" on several "GatorGoo" branded beverage coolers in the Big Tops' dugout during the softball adventure. "GatorGoo" is a fairly obvious parody of the real-life sports beverage brand Gatorade. Gummigoo is one of the only NPCS to have official merchandise with the second being Disappearing Guy.

She was funny, creative...really into entomology. I used to hate bugs, but...she somehow got me to like them. Kinger talking about Queenie, "The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor"
Queenie[1] is a posthumous major overarching character of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus.
Her face can briefly be seen in the Pilot, and she plays a minor role appearing in Kinger's flashbacks in The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor. She is Kinger's abstracted wife.
Physical Appearance Queenie was a chestnut wood queen chess piece, with physical characteristics almost exactly the same as her husband Kinger. She had cartoonish white-gloved hands detached from her body, two large asymmetrical eyes with brown pupils. Her eyelashes were at the bottom of her eyes. She wore a red robe with white fuzzy lining spotted with black.
Abstracted Her Abstracted form looks like Kaufmo, but her eyes are at the front of her. Plus, when Kinger was calming her down, her lines seemed to straighten and have less of a static effect. This could imply that there is still life behind the Abstracted humans.
Personality Although Queenie's personality is never shown first hand, according to Kinger, she was creative, funny, and really into entomology. She was also quite persuasive, as she was able to change her husband's disdain for bugs into a love for them.
Biography PILOT When Pomni, Jax, and Ragatha were walking the corridors while on their way to Kaufmo's room, a crossed out image of Queenie can be seen on one of the doors.
The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor In this episode, it is revealed that Queenie was abstracted prior to the beginning of the series through a flashback. Kinger recalls certain characteristics about her after Pomni mentions that he is acting different, notably after he tells her that he is always reminded of Queenie when surrounded by a dark environment
In the flashback, Kinger and an abstracted Queenie can be seen in the pillow fort. Kinger recalls that the darkness seemed to calm Queenie down a bit, and he chooses to touch her one last time before she gets sent down to The Cellar.
Trivia It was officially confirmed by Gooseworx and merchandising that Queenie was Kinger's wife. Queenie's reason for abstracting may have been hinted at by Kinger in The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor. Kinger says, "In this world, the worst thing you can do is make someone think they are not wanted or loved," possibly pointing to Kinger and Queenie having an argument of sorts that led to her abstracting.

Quotes Chad is an NPC who appears in "Candy Carrier Chaos!" as one of the main antagonists, he is apart of the three crocodile bandits who stole the Candy Canyon Kingdom's maple syrup. He also makes a minor appearance in "Fast Food Masquerade".
Appearance Chad is an orange-fading-into-yellow gummy crocodile with a white underbelly and white eyes. He wears a brown Australian-like cowboy hat with crocodile teeth around the blue-purple band of the hat and a blue-purple bandana. He is the tallest of the gang, but he also has extremely long arms which almost reach his feet.
Personality Similar to Max, Chad is quite goofy and childish when compared to Gummigoo.
Biography Chad is first seen holding an egg and a candy cane dagger with Max while having a campfire, Gummigoo then noticed that the humans' truck is heading towards them and orders Chad and Max to get in their truck. While chasing the humans, Gummigoo orders Chad to change the direction that their truck is going in, but he can't because his arms are too long.
Later in the episode, when Ragatha asks him and Max if they are sure that Pomni and Gummigoo had disappeared, Chad said that he isn't sure but he thinks that they did indeed disappear. When the two show up, he and Max are seen dancing in the background while Pomni tells the other humans why Gummigoo should go to the circus with them.

(giggles) I like you already. Princess Loolilalu to Ragatha
Princess Loolilalu is a supporting character that was teased in POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE and debuted in Candy Carrier Chaos!. She is voiced by Vera Tan.
Appearance Princess Loolilalu appears to be a tall and slim candy-based humanoid. Her short chin-length hair is made of hibiscus-colored candy fruit slices in a bob cut, with a single fruit slice as a front bang covering her forehead. Her head is an apricot colored lollipop with bright gold swirls. Her neck and arms seems to be made out of white lollipop sticks. She wears half arm-length salmon pink gloves. Her eyes are round and her left eye is higher up on her face bigger than the right is. She also has three long eyelashes. Her irises represent peppermints, being striped with Persian pink and deep carmine pink with no pupils. Like Caine, Bubble and Gangle, she does not have eyebrows at all. She wears a waffle-made, peach orange crown on top of her head. The collar of her dress is salmon pink going around her neck and the dress' chest brooch.
The corset is into two parts, whereas the upper is flamingo pink and her midriff is salmon pink. The dress has puffy white sleeves covered on top in salmon pink frosting and sprinkles, with salmon pink donut-shaped openings. The lower part of the floor-length dress resembles that of a cake and its main color is flamingo pink. The waist panniers are salmon pink with sprinkles on them and white frosting outlines around them. The middle of the bottom half of the dress is decorated with a layer of pink frosting with salmon pink ball ends as a pattern going around the area, and the bottom of the dress is covered up with a layer of white frosting going around it.
Personality Princess Loolilalu is courteous and kind. She cares deeply for those within the Kingdom, throwing The Fudge out of the Kingdom after he ate too many of her subjects. Despite her regal status, she is still quite friendly. She allows Ragatha to simply call her "Loo" minutes after meeting her.
Biography It is mentioned by The Fudge that Princess Loolilalu banished him after he started eating the citizens of the Candy Canyon Kingdom.
Princess Loolilalu made her first appearance in the episode "Candy Carrier Chaos!", where she greets the humans and loans them a truck to rescue a maple syrup tanker stolen by Gumigoo's gang. When the humans return, she thanks them and provides them a portal back to The Circus. Pomni promised Gummigoo to let him join The Circus and managed to do so by lying to Loo that Gumigoo would be executed shortly afterward for his crime. Everyone then hears The Fudge entering through the front gates and he immediately rampages throughout the kingdom. Loo is shocked and confused to hear that Jax committed to his promise to The Fudge to keep the gate open, which leads Jax to abandon Loo and the kingdom as he dashes into the portal in order to avoid any consequences for his actions.
Trivia Loolilalu and her subjects are religious followers of Caine and view him as God, although it's unknown if this is because Caine programmed them to view him as such. For the model of Princess Loolilalu, she has a Ragatha mouth. In the Japanese dub, Loolilalu is referred to as a queen instead of a princess.

Quotes I am the Fudge. I used to live within the kingdom walls, but I was banished by that rotten princess after I ate too many of the delicious townfolk. The Fudge in "Candy Carrier Chaos!"
The Fudge is a character who was teased in POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE. He is voiced by Lyle Rath, and made his debut as a major character in Episode 2, Candy Carrier Chaos!. He resides in a river of chocolate in the Candy Canyon Kingdom.
Appearance The Fudge is an enormous blob monster made out of chocolate fudge sauce. His teeth are made of candy corn, and he has jawbreakers for eyes with yellow and pink swirls that sit atop his head. His cavernous mouth takes up almost his entire body, and he will occasionally sprout one or two pseudopod-like limbs to manipulate things. Being a blob, the Fudge's goopy form constantly shifts in size and shape as he speaks to reflect his emotions, and speaks with a deep, gurgling voice.
Personality Given his limited screen presence in the episode, not much is known about The Fudge other than he is extremely gluttonous and simple-minded, caring about little more than his love of eating candy, regardless if it's sentient or not. He shows no remorse for eating many of the civilians of the Candy Canyon Kingdom, asking "is it really murder if it's delicious?" and admitting that the things he did in his free time were utterly sickening. Despite this, when he realized that Ragatha and the other humans weren't made of candy, he apologized and spared them from being eaten, despite his disappointment. The Fudge seems to harbor a bitterness towards the princess for his exile from the kingdom.
Biography The Fudge was a former moat guard of the Candy Canyon Kingdom. However, his hunger for candy made him consume many of the candy citizens, causing Princess Loolilalu to banish him in retaliation.
When the humans pursued the crocodile bandits in a high-speed chase, Pomni and Gummigoo fell outside of the map while everyone else landed in a river of chocolate at the bottom of the chasm. Jax was able to bargain to unlock the gates of the Candy Canyon Kingdom (with the key gifted to them by the Princess) in exchange for The Fudge assisting in the capture of the gators (with Max and Chad falling right next to them shortly afterward).
While The Fudge was bringing the humans, Max, and Chad back to the Kingdom, Pomni and Gummigoo escaped from Outside of the Map using a copy of the bandit's truck, which landed on The Fudge's head and knocked him out.
When the humans finally finished their mission, they were presented by the Princess with a portal back to the Digital Circus. However, as they start to walk towards the portal, The Fudge discovers that Jax has committed to his promise of keeping the gate unlocked and begins rampaging again. Jax and the other humans hastily walk into the portal as chaos and panic erupt in the Kingdom.
Trivia He is the second giant monster NPC to be featured in the series, after the Gloink Queen in episode 1. As Kinger pointed out, Pomni has yet to directly encounter or meet either of them. In the Indonesian dub, he is voiced by Muhammad Nur, who also voices Caine in the aforementioned dub. His appearance and personality are likely references to "The Greedy" from Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure, as they are both large, fudge-like beings who enjoy eating candy, even the animation of his movement inspired by his movement that were entirely animated by Emery Hawkins. Furthermore, his eye movement also references to Tick-Tock Crocodile, a character from Disney movie, Peter Pan. These inspiration have been stated by Kevin Temmer in this short. He could also most likely be based off Gloppy from the Milton Bradley board game, Candy Land, or The Great Mighty Poo from the Nintendo 64 game, Conker's Bad Fur Day. The camera zooms into The Fudge's eyes as he remembers consuming the citizens. This was supposed to be a more direct reference to the Camel with the Wrinkled Kness, who (in the Raggedy Ann film) also has his eyes occasionally get zoned-out as Camel suffers from hallucinations. His belief that Jax must be some kind of "master of unlocking things" may be a reference to the 1996 Playstation horror game Resident Evil. In the game, the character Barry Burton gives a lockpick to Jill Valentine, claiming it "might be handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you". The line has since become a reoccurring joke among fans of the series, and has been referenced numerous times throughout the series.

Ghostly introducing themselves. Ghostly is a ghost NPC and a minor character that was first teased in POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE before making their official debut in The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor.
They are supposed to be a guide at Mildenhall Manor who introduces the humans to the "normal door" and the "really scary door", but they were abruptly sucked up with a vacuum by Jax before they could complete their speech.
Appearance Ghostly is a light teal, translucent ghost with glowing white eyes shaped like hollow circles and a glowing mouth. Their hands and tail move in a wobbly manner.
Personality Ghostly is a friendly ghost who guides the players along the adventure. They haunt the main characters with their giggles before they appear.
Biography The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor Ghostly shows up in this episode, through a giggle before revealing themselves to the cast, scarring the eyes out of Pomni. They reveal their true, friendly identity to everyone's surpirse. Ghostly introduces themselves, talks about the doors leading to the adventure for a bit, but in the middle of his next sentence, Jax, equipped with a vacuum, takes the NPC and puts him in there, much to Ragatha's anger. Jax claims that he thought they were supposed to capture all the ghosts.
Trivia Jax mentioning the ghost-capturing task he thought the adventure was may be a reference to the Nintendo GameCube game Luigi's Mansion, where the main goal is to rid the hotel of evil ghosts by sucking them up with a vacuum.

I apologize, dear listener, but I need a host in order to escape the hall of the damned, and your bodies will be my only means of doing so. Baron Mildenhall in one of the tapes.
Overview Gallery Baron Theodore Mildenhall is an NPC that was first teased in POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE before making his official debut in The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor as the main antagonist of the adventure.
Appearance Baron appears in the cellar as a mummified corpse, with no eyes inside his eye sockets. However, he mainly talks to the players through various tape recorders scattered throughout the Mildenhall Manor.
Personality At first, Baron appears to be a helpful, late guide for the players, warning Pomni and Kinger of the dangers about a creature that had been haunting his manor for years. He slowly grew more paranoid as he was trying to kill the monster, even mistaking his own wife for the creature and killing her accidentally.
In reality, Baron is a cunning and manipulative spirit that lured the unwitting players into a trap, so that he could take control over their bodies and free himself from the Hall of the Damned.
Baron appears to be well-mannered and speaks in a calm tone, even when revealing his true goals. He remains well-mannered to Kinger and Pomni. He additionally agrees not to scare Pomni, which he ironically ends up doing.
Biography Baron is first heard in a log found in his trophy room. In it, he describes how his hunting hobby gradually evolved into a paranoid obsession. Evidentially, the "creature" that now hangs over his mantle had been tormenting him and his family for years, and the strain of the constant hunt began to wear on him. He describes being filled with an "inescapable dread" that haunted him the entire time, hoping it would go away once the creature was done in. However, once he eventually did kill it (or so he thought), the impending feeling of dread did not go away.
He is heard again as Pomni and Kinger search his den for the lift key. Dated December 4th, he describes how, when he turned his back from the creature's decapitated corpse as he was performing an autopsy, it vanished without a trace, alive and eager to reclaim it's lost head. He warns the listener to never let the head out of their sight.
Baron is encountered for a third time in the manor's wine cellar. Not only is there a third log, but Baron himself, or what remains of him, sits poised at the back of the room with a shotgun in hand. In the log, he tells of his worsening mental condition. In a fit of paranoid mania, he mistook his wife, Martha Mildenhall, for the creature and shot her to death. Now alone with nothing but his own thoughts, he retreated to his cellar to protect himself, lying in wait for the creature, vowing to take it by surprise and enact his revenge.
Evidentially, this never happened, and he passed away alone in the dark. At some point, he came to the realization that the creature he had spent his latter years chasing and fearing was actually one of God's Angels. As penance for the harm he brought to it, he went directly to Hell.
Trivia He's most often represented as a Tape Recorder, as Baron in his current state is nigh-immobile and was also likely too frightening to be shown for too long. As such, he only has one non-prerecorded line.

Ming is an NPC that appears in The Amazing Digital Circus. They were first shown in a sneak-peek of the sixth episode at San Diego Comic Con, officially shown in They All Get Guns. They are voiced by OneyNG.
Appearance Ming appears to be a mannequin NPC created by Caine for the purpose of a joke. They look like a regular mannequin, but they are light blueish-grey colored. They wear a blue baseball cap, and have cartoonish googly eyes with black pupils.
Personality Ming is shown to be defensive and pedantic as they openly criticise Zooble and Caine for making incorrect assumptions, which they view as harmful to their reputation.
Role In They All Get Guns, Caine advises the characters against assuming as "it makes an ass out of you and Ming", to Zooble's confusion. Ming then arrives, introducing themself and complaining about what assumptions have done to their reputation. They then leave while Caine describes the adventure.
At the end of the episode, Caine believes he has won the Favorite Character Award at his awards show, only to realize that he misread it and the true winner was Ming. Ming then comes on stage and chastises Caine for assuming he won the award.
Trivia They are the only mannequin to have eyes, albeit with non-controllable googly eyes. Another blue mannequin was shown in POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE which would be a character in the Candy Carrier Chaos adventure, however they were just a background character who broke Gangle's mask in the Candy Canyon Kingdom. Unlike most characters, Ming's name is changed in many of the show's dubs in other languages, in order to adapt the "assuming" pun. In the German dub, Ming is female, while in the Russian dub, Ming is male.

The Evil Big Tops are a group of six NPCs: Evil Pomni, Evil Ragatha, Dictatorer, Evil Jax, Evil Orbsman, and Bazooble, in the episode, Untitled.
The NPCs appear to have opposing personalities to their human counterparts (such as Evil Pomni being rude and bold, versus Pomni's more nervous and kind character). However, Gangle does not have an evil version of herself and is replaced with Evil Orbsman instead.
Biography When the members are transported to a softball stadium, Caine announces that the Big Tops (circus members) are playing against the Evil Big Tops (their evil versions).
Members Evil Pomni: Evil Pomni speaks rudely and bolder, using swear words in every sentence. She seems to have a good relationship with Jax despite being against his team, the Big Tops. In contrast, she has a bad relationship with Ragatha, calling her a dumb Censorbarboing after getting her out on a flyout. In the game against the Big Tops, she covers outfield. Every time she swears, only bleeps are heard instead of other noises. Evil Ragatha: Evil Ragatha speaks in a Mid-Atlantic accent and acts rather posh, cruel, and arrogant. She melts when Caine declares the winner of the softball tournament to be the Big Tops. Much like Evil Pomni, she is very rude to Ragatha, calling her "Stupidgatha" once she goes up to bat. In the game against the Big Tops, she covers third base. Coach Dictatorer (Evil Kinger): Dictatorer is the leader and manager of the Evil Big Tops as well as much more focused and of sound mind than Kinger usually is. He is very prone to vulgar language, as seen when the Big Tops get another home run, he screams "GOD Censorbarboing IT!". "Evil" Jax: Evil Jax, to Jax's disgust, is much more kind and nervous. Jax mauls him once his Vegan status is removed, after saying twice that he wanted him dead. In the game against the Big Tops, he covers first base. Evil Orbsman: Instead of an evil version of Gangle, Caine places an evil version of Orbsman on the Evil Big Tops. He has tendencies to lash out in anger, more physically than verbally unlike the rest of the Evil Big Tops. In the game against the Big Tops, he is the catcher. Bazooble (Evil Zooble): Zooble's opposite, who is shown to be sporadic and unintelligent, speaking in a "dumb" voice. In the game against the Big Tops, they are the pitcher. Trivia Most of the Evil Big Tops are named as evil versions of their counterparts, except for Dictatorer and Bazooble. When any of the evil versions swear, it is censored with an actual bleep instead of a goofy noise due to them being NPCs. Some of the Evil Big Tops have an inverted color scheme compared to their counterparts. Evil Ragatha melting into the floor at the end of the game is likely a reference to The Wizard of Oz, specifically of the way in which The Wicked Witch of The West died. Evil Ragatha's voice strongly resembles a voice style commonly used for English voices of evil and privileged women in anime. Gangle was the only character who was not shown to have an evil clone, instead with it being replaced with Evil Orbsman. Gooseworx mentions that the reason for this was because she thinks that it would be funny if Evil Gangle was forgotten.[1] According to Gooseworx, if Evil Gangle were an actual character, her ribbons would be white and she would have a red mask.[2] Bazooble is a nod to the character of Bazooey from the obscure animated Christmas special The Gift of Winter.[3] The other language dubs make references not in the original English track: In the Russian dub of Untitled, Bazooble references Skibidi Toilet instead of doing their normal nonsensical rambling.[4] In the German dub, Dictatorer is played as a parody of Adolf Hitler. He introduces himself as "Dictatorer, der führer des teams!" In the Polish dub, Evil Jax is not voiced by Jax's voice actor Bartosz Mojsiewicz, but rather Miron Hukała, Bubble's Polish voice actor. The trope that these characters follow is called Mirror Self since they mirror the traits of the human characters, Evil Pomni is rude and bold in contrast to Pomni's nervous and kinder side, Evil Ragatha is loud and cruel to mirror Ragatha's somewhat quiet and concerned tone, Dictatorer as his name would suggest is supposed to be a Dictator figure as opposed to how Kinger is a King figure, Evil Jax is more nice and shy instead of Jax's careless and jerky attitude, and Bazooble is idiotic and wacky to contrast Zooble's smart and calm demeanor, (as a bonus: Evil Orbsman has a more comprehensive voice compared to regular Orbsman). Shown when Jax mauls him, Evil Jax, unlike Evil Pomni and Evil Ragatha, has normal looking teeth, rather than sharp teeth. This is likely because Jax already has sharp teeth while the other Big Tops have normal looking teeth. Bazooble is left-handed.

The Disappearing Guy is a minor character in The Amazing Digital Circus. He is voiced by JobbytheHong and made his first appearance in "Untitled". He is an artificial intelligence who, as his name suggests, tends to disappear without warning, usually in the middle of a sentence or a word.
Appearance He is a red mannequin normally seen wearing a brown cowboy hat, with said hat having its brim bitten off.
Noir Instead of being red-colored, he is now a grey mannequin with his cowboy hat taking a similar color.
Biography "Untitled" (Episode 5) Disappearing Guy makes his first appearance in the bar adventure. He enters the bar and swiftly disappears before he could finish saying "Hello", to Pomni's confusion. Zooble explains to her that this is what Disappearing Guy tends to do, and he's implied to have come from one of the previous adventures.
Disappearing Guy shows up once more before the softball match between the Big Tops and the Evil Big Tops in order to sing the American national anthem, only to disappear again not even two words into the song.
"They All Get Guns" (Episode 6) After Jax has a mental breakdown in the theater's bathroom, Disappearing Guy exits a bathroom stall and says "So-" before swiftly disappearing.
Trivia The hat the Disappearing Guy wears is very similar to the hat worn by Beau from another Glitch Productions show, Murder Drones. However, it has a noticeably different shape. Both hats notably have their brims bitten off. When he sings the national anthem in other languages, he sings the either the American National Anthem ("The Star-Spangled Banner") in either in its original language or translated in a different language, however this is always not the case in all dubs. In the Dutch, German, Filipino, Russian, and Indonesian dubs, the disappearing guy sings the National Anthems of the Netherlands ("Het Wilhelmus"), Germany ("Das Lied der Deutschen"), the Philippines ("Lupang Hinirang"), Russia ("Gosudarstvennyy gimn Rossiyskoy Federatsii"), and Indonesia ("Indonesia Raya") in the respective dubs instead. In the Brazilian dub, he sings Chitãozinho & Xororó's "Evidências" rather than the official anthem of Brazil. In the Ukrainian dub, he attempted to sing "Chervona Ruta" which was written by Volodymyr Ivasiuk when Caine announced that he would sing a "charming composition." Disappearing Guy is the first mannequin character to get a plush, albeit his was limited time. Disappearing Guy's speeches in the released episodes run together to form the phrase "Hell - oh say - su.." which may be the start of a longer sentence (in particular, "Hello, say something").

Hello, I'm ready to order Orbsman talking to Pomni
Orbsman is a supporting character in The Amazing Digital Circus and debuted in Episode 4, "Fast Food Masquerade." He first appeared in a GLITCH Productions teaser, which shows him reflected in the floor, and again on "POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE", and "Untitled" in evil version.
Appearance Orbsman, as his name implies, appears to be made out of nineteen iridescent blue orbs, put into the shape of a humanoid. He has two flat white oval eyes attached to his head, with large black pupils. When he walks, he creates heavy bass sounds.
Personality Orbsman speaks in a nearly incomprehensible voice, and not much can be inferred about him, other than that he's known by the main characters (aside from Pomni) due to him appearing in a previous adventure.
Biography Fast Food Masquerade He is seen walking up to the register for Pomni to take his order. Ragatha reveals he was an NPC from a previous adventure before Pomni arrived. He speaks in a extremely garbled voice, ordering a Number 57. In the backroom, Jax says to himself he hates Orbsman before Gangle tells him not to speak ill of customers until after hours.
Untitled (evil version) While not directly in the episode, an evil counterpart of him is instead seen, taking on the role of the catcher in the softball game. Prior to the start of the game, he is introduced alongside the other Evil Big Tops members. During the game, he lashes out in anger multiple times, such as when Ragatha bats the ball and Zooble scores a homerun.
Trivia Before "Fast Food Masquerade," he was revealed as "Orbsman" by Gooseworx. Additionally, before his debut, he was the character with the most teasers that were released from Gooseworx and Glitch Productions. This is ironic, considering that he only appears for about thirty seconds and has little to no involvement in the plot of the episode. Gooseworx claimed she didn't think anybody was "gonna be ready for Orbsman."[2] Orbsman makes a cameo appearance in "A Very Special Digital Circus Song" on a bottle of "Orbs Brand" shampoo that Pomni lists the ingredients of. With the exception of the Filipino, German, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese dubs, most foreign dubs leave Orbsman's speech untranslated. During their reaction video of episode 4, Gangle's voice actor Marissa Lenti reveals that Orbsman is in fact speaking English, albeit in an extremely garbled voice.[3]

The Angel is the secondary antagonist in The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor.
It was shot by Baron Mildenhall, who believed it to be a demon or otherwise malicious entity and mounted its head to keep on his wall. He later warned Pomni and Kinger not to let it out of their sight.
Physical Appearance Dormant The Angel is a disembodied and malformed head with pale white skin. It has two large eyes with blue irises; the left eye is higher than the right. It also has two large nostrils. The Angel has neither teeth nor eyebrows.
Roaring When roaring, the Angel's head glows a pure white and its mouth enlarges drastically, revealing three rows of small sharp teeth inside. Beyond its teeth is a black void featuring small, hollow white circles. Glowing rings also manifest on its irises. It also features a skinny, humanoid body that sports a pair of eye-infested wings.
Personality Not much is known about The Angel, considering it does not talk. What is known is that it is an evil and cruel being that torments the Baron and his family. It is willing to mess with people's minds, considering it likely drove Baron insane and paranoid enough to the point he shot his wife and made Kinger see a vision of his wife to manipulate him into getting eaten by it. It is overall not very nice when compared to the other characters, even Jax.
Biography The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor (Episode 3) When Pomni and Kinger are in the dark, Angel comes and roars behind them. As Pomni rushes to escape, Kinger stays and gets fascinated by the eyes in its mouth while Angel advances on them. Then, Angel's head comes out of the pipe in his body, the body comes roaring. Kinger shot both parts of The Angel. The tape plays again.
Fast Food Masquerade Angel is mentioned in this episode and does not make an appearance .
Untitled ( Episode 5 ) Angel is pictured in this episode and does not appear.
Origins The Angel was created by Caine for the adventure known as 'The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor' as an NPC for the "Scary" section of the game.
In-lore, the Angel was one of God's Angels that was mistaken for a demon by Baron Mildenhall.
Trivia The Angel's mouth hypnosis may be inspired by The Deadlights, a mind-control ability used by Pennywise - in particular, it is similar to how the 2017/2019 film version of Pennywise uses The Deadlights.

Martha Mildenhall[1] is an NPC and a minor character that appeared in The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor as the deceased wife of Baron Mildenhall, with whom she lived with in Mildenhall Manor. She is voiced by Marissa Lenti.
Appearance Martha appears as the ghost of a human woman, with a translucent cyan-colored form that glows softly in the dark. Only the top half of her whole appearance has been shown so far in the show, but she has hair that goes down to slightly above her shoulders, a wide-brimmed hat, and a short-sleeved knee-length dress with a ribbon at the neck and waist. Her eyes are solid white with black eyebrows. She has no visible mouth but is fully capable of speaking clearly.
Biography Martha was the wife of Baron Mildenhall. Baron accidentally shot and killed Martha, mistaking her for The Angel.
Personality Martha was shown to be kind and welcoming to Ragatha and Gangle, even showing good manners towards Jax referring to him as Ragatha and Gangle's friend (even if she may have helped tie Jax and dump him in the corner). Despite being killed by her own husband, she doesn't seem upset about it, claiming men have the silliest priorities and believing that Baron makes monologues about short stories.

Debut PILOT Overview Gallery Quotes
The Mannequins are basic NPCs that appear very often in the digital world, used by Caine as a blank slate to create new character NPCs for his adventures.
Examples of Mannequins include Dr. Football, Additional Voices, Disappearing Guy, Ming, the ones Caine and Bubble eat together with, the ones who welcomed the humans to the Candy Canyon Kingdom, the Mannequin stalking the main cast at the beginning of The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor, and the stupid sauce addicted mannequin and cereal bowl guy seen in Fast Food Masquerade.
Description Mannequins are wooden toy mannequins that are used by Caine to serve as background filler in his creations. All of the mannequins act as if they were regular people, specifically doing normal actions such as serving as patrons in a restaurant, using a bathtub, wandering around, or being used as crowds.
Mannequins very rarely speak on purpose, with most of their dialog being limited to screaming and pain reactions. Mannequins have been seen pretending to converse with each other (without actually speaking) in some situations.
So far, the few examples of speaking Mannequins include two in Fast Food Masquerade - one who eats cereal and one who orders a Stupidburger -Disappearing Guy, who appears twice in Untitled - and Ming, who appears in They All Get Guns, both after being mentioned by Caine and in stage during the Favorite Character Awards.
There has been one mannequin in particular who has been stalking the main cast from a distance inside the Tent since "The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor". After returning from an adventure in "Untitled", Pomni sits up before noticing it back away upon realising it had been spotted. It reappears at the end of the episode watching the cast again as they return from the suggestion box adventures before once again retreating.

The Moon to Caine, PILOT Hello, Caine. I love you.
The Moon is a minor character in Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus, voiced by series creator Gooseworx. She seems to be romantically interested in Caine, which appears to make him uncomfortable. The Moon is also the personification of Night in the Digital Circus world.
Appearance The Moon has a simple design which appears to be a baby blue waning crescent moon with slanted eyes and a mouth. Her eyes and mouth have a thick dark blue outline as well.
Personality Not much is known about the Moon's personality. However, she openly expresses her love to Caine, even though the feeling isn't mutual, which makes Caine label her as "frisky."
Biography "PILOT" (Episode 1) Moon first appears in the episode PILOT, during Caine's introduction song. She is seen later in the episode, when Caine is showing Pomni The Grounds. She says that she loves Caine, quickly leaves afterwards.
"Untitled" (Episode 5) Moon reappears in the episode Untitled, during the Stargazing section. She is seen talking to Caine about how the members of the circus were happy with relaxing and having time to themselves. She tries to suggest something to Caine before he cuts her off.
Trivia The Moon and Bubble are both voiced by Gooseworx, the creator of The Amazing Digital Circus. In "POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE," the Sun says the Moon gets 2 lines in the show and, since the Moon spoke in episode 1 and 5, she most likely won’t speak again.

Appearance The Sun appears as a yellow cartoonish sun, with round orange eyes (featuring four eyelashes on each side), a mouth in the shape of a large smile and corona.
Personality She seems to have violent and anger-driven tendencies, as she threatened to kill Caine for not giving her any voice lines in the series while Moon gets two. Once Caine considered giving Sun more lines, she immediately calmed down. This could suggest she has a rather vain or narcissistic side to her, given the fact she was angry about not having any lines, even though Moon is only given two. However, her tone of voice suggests she has a rather joyful, as she sounds happy and carefree. This could describe her personality traits as happy, joyful, carefree, somewhat violent, needy, and short-tempered who has mood-swings and desires attention. Her jealousy towards Moon suggests she may not like her very much.
Biography "PILOT" (Episode 1) The Sun first appears in the PILOT episode with the Moon, where she can be seen in the introduction song. She is seen in the episode when Caine takes Pomni on a tour of the Grounds.
"POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE" The Sun appears again briefly where she tells Caine that she wants to kill him due to not getting any lines at all while the Moon gets two, though after Caine tells her that they can make her some dialogue, she decides to spare him.
Trivia Despite not having a speaking role in the PILOT, Gooseworx confirmed that the Sun can talk.[1] The Sun finally talks in the teaser "POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE".

The Amazing Digital Circus is a psychological dark comedy about cute cartoon characters who hate their lives and want to leave 🎪😀
Synopsis from Netflix:
Trapped in the Digital Circus and desperate to leave, Pomni meets other humans transformed into cartoon characters – and Caine, the eccentric ringmaster.
Plot The Amazing Digital Circus takes place within an old computer game. Following the title screen, we are presented to the show by Caine (an AI ringmaster that takes the form of chattering teeth with eyes and a body) who welcomes the viewers to the Circus along with Bubble, his AI companion.
We are then introduced to the rest of the characters and the theme song: Gangle (who takes the form of a theatre mask with a body made up of 5 red ribbons), Zooble (who takes the form of an entity made out of parts from those Mix & Match toys), Kinger (who takes the form of a white king chess piece wearing a purple robe), Ragatha (an optimistic rag doll with a button eye), Jax (a mischievous purple cartoon rabbit in fuchsia overalls), and the absentee Kaufmo (who takes the form of a cartoonish clown, only his cardboard cutout is seen).
During all this, a new jester character suddenly appears in the Circus and disrupts the song (while also breaking Gangle's comedy mask by accident). It's quickly revealed the jester was once a human from the real world (implying to be wearing a headset the entire time when she gets transported). However, she is informed by the other characters that she wasn't the first, as the other characters were also from the real world before being teleporter to the Circus (with Kinger currently being the one who stayed the longest and went crazy), and also reassures her that she will get used to her new home and body after she finishes panicking. Jax also informs her that there is no way for her to leave her new home and body as she gets panicky knowing that she's trapped here forever.
Still fearful, confused, and desiring to leave, Caine starts introducing the new jester to The Tent where everyone lives, The Grounds for adventures outside of the tent, and The "mysterious" Void (which Caine advises her to not venture to) by teleportation. The jester briefly notices an exit door, but Caine changes the subject to her name (and brushing Pomni's brief notice of said door as just a "digital hallucination").
After the jester becomes disoriented again because of forgetting her name, Caine shows some powers limit and decides to give her a new name, that being Pomni. Caine declares a brand new in-house adventure, to help Pomni get used to the place, that being to gather the Gloinks infested in The Tent, small critters that stick to anything they bump into.
Not long after the adventure starts, Zooble decides to quit it early but gets disjointed and captured by the Gloinks. Back to the rest of the members, Ragatha suggests to go check on Kaufmo with Pomni since he is unaware of the newbie's appearance. Kinger reports of him going insane, rambling of some form of exit like Pomni.
Pomni herself takes this as a sign that there is an exit with another person talking about it, agreeing to meet Kaufmo to ask him what he knows. After getting hit by a gloink, Jax proclaims he will join Ragatha and Pomni in going to check on Kaufmo, leaving Kinger and Gangle to save Zooble. Ragatha is concerned about them being paired together, but Jax doesn't seem to mind.
While walking down the hallway of rooms, Ragatha introduces Pomni to their dormitory and quarters where they sleep, but since they aren't human, they don't need human essentials to live on. Pomni asks why they decide to stick around for the adventures instead of attempting to escape. Ragatha responds by saying they often try to at first only to eventually get hit with the fact that there is no escape, and any further obsessing about it just might cause a character to go insane at which point "something really terrible" will happen to them, which traumatizes Pomni.
They reach Kaufmo's room and, after an aggressive exchange between Ragatha and Jax, open the door to see the just mentioned "really terrible" thing has befallen what once was Kaufmo, now horribly disfigured into a monstrous black mass creature with rainbow eyes all over him known as an "abstract." Jax runs away with a bowling ball, leaving Pomni and Ragatha at the mercy of the being, the latter being picked up by Kaufmo and slammed against the walls, floors, and ceilings. This damages Ragatha to the point of her glitching up, with it spreading to Pomni's hand after the latter tried to help the former out.
Pomni then runs with Kaufmo chasing after her, though she manages to dodge the monster, which crashes through the railings and chases a Gloink next, allowing Pomni to run back to Ragatha unnoticed. Meanwhile, Kinger and Gangle find where Zooble has gone to, which just so happens to be a giant hole in the ground. When Jax came by to keep a short distance from the beast, he lies about Kaufmo being alright and used the bowling ball he grabbed earlier to knock two through the hole after he heard Kaufmo approaching, quickly joining them afterwards. All three then encounter the Gloink Queen, who Jax insults with an ugly comment. Kinger also finds Zooble's head, but fails at saving it from being devoured by the said queen.
Back to Pomni, she talks with a glitching Ragatha and they conclude that only Caine can help them. She goes off to find him, opening a bunch of doors leading to random and surreal looking rooms while avoiding a monster Kaufmo on the loose, before finding the exit door which generated out of thin air. She enters the door only to find herself trapped in an almost realistic looking office labyrinth that she gets lost in, a place that is oddly out of place from the more colorful environment she found herself in. The exit door then disappears out of thin air.
The scene cuts back to the nest, the Gloink Queen expresses her plans to turn anything and everything into Gloinks like herself and the rest of her nest until Kaufmo abrubtly crashes down and begins attacking the Gloink Queen, releasing Zooble and allowing the other characters to leave. Pomni, meanwhile, still tries to find the end of this labyrinth, coming across an old computer along with a rusted out VR headset before going through a door with the logo of a company called "C&A" marked above (presumably the company that developed the game or warping technology). She is then led to the Void and falls into a state of trance by it.
Caine and Bubble were in a restaurant when Caine sees on his Wacky Watch that someone is now in the void and rushes to take Pomni back to the tent. He is then told by Kinger that Kaufmo became abstracted and casually drops him through a custom made hole that leads him to "The Cellar," a place where those abstracted ended up. Caine then reverts Ragatha's glitched state back to normal. He apologizes for lying about the exit door and that he wasn't capable of thinking on what to put on the other side of it, he warns the group that the Void could be disastrous for them.
As a reward for finishing their adventure, Bubbles has made them a feast to feel more like they're at home. Pomni, still in awe and disbelief from today, tries to keep her cool as she's about to lose sanity while on the dinner table with the rest. The episode ends as the shot zooms out into the Void and beyond, and finally into the old computer from before.

Trivia This is the only episode to release in 2023. The pilot reached 100 million views within the first 30 days of its release, and continued to increase its viewcount, reaching 200 million before the end of 2023. This episode now sits at 395 million viewers as of September 28th, 2025. The pilot was nominated at the 2024 Annie Awards for Best Character Animation in TV/Media.[2] Multiple characters can be seen with their faces crossed out in the hallway containing everyone's rooms, including a dog and a queen chess piece. It is implied that these are characters had abstracted, sharing the same fate as Kaufmo. The scene where Pomni opens a door revealing a screaming mannequin face was added because Gooseworx thought it was funny.[3] In the swearing scene, it is actually Gooseworx's sister who voiced Pomni, due to having forgotten to record the scene with Lizzie Freeman, the actual voice actor.[4] The ending scene with all of the humans at the digital feast is framed in a similar way to a Christian painting titled "The Last Supper," with Pomni taking Jesus's place. Gooseworx has since confirmed that this is intentional.[5] Additionally, it has been confirmed by Gooseworx that the conversation they were having was about compost.[6] When the hat flies past Pomni after the exit door disappears, the noise when it went past is the same noise as the cars as seen in The Jetsons. Kinger asks Zooble about seeing a gameshow in the stomach of the Gloink Queen. This is a reference to two of Gooseworx's other projects, Little Runmo[7] and Elain The Bounty Hunter.[8] In the Latin American dub, Kinger instead asks Zooble about seeing a Turkish novel. In the Polish dub, Kinger references a popular gameshow "Jeden z dziesięciu", which is based on the British show "Fifteen to One". It is one of the first game shows to air in Polish television and the only one still having regular episodes shot, having first aired in 1994. According to Jax, Kinger is the longest living victim of the circus and he did not get abstracted along with the former victims. In the German dub, Caine calls Bubble "Drecksackblase" instead of "parasite", the German name of the supervillain from SpongeBob SquarePants TV series, Dirty Bubble. At one point, when Ragatha's face becomes jumbled after Kaufmo attacks her, there's a reference to Pong where her eyes are the paddles and her nose is the ball. This idea was thought up by lead animator Kevin Temmer and was subsequently approved by Gooseworx. In the original YouTube release of the Pilot, the 2018-Mid 2023 GLITCH Productions logo was used in the first few seconds. However, in the Netflix release of the Pilot, the Late 2023-present GLITCH Productions logo is used instead.
Errors Kaufmo's doorbell is rung by Ragatha, and then disappears in the next scene when Jax goes to open Kaufmo's door with the key. Also of note is that none of the other circus members' doors have a doorbell; Kaufmo's door is the only one to have it, and it is only present in the scenes in which Ragatha rings it. When Gangle discovers that Kaufmo abstracted, for a single frame her mask can be seen cliping through her eyes.

Candy Carrier Chaos!
Episode 2
Transcript Candy Carrier Chaos! is the second episode of The Amazing Digital Circus.
Synopsis Synopsis from the YouTube video:
The gang are BACK for a WAaAaAaACKY candy filled adventure! They also discover that their lives literally have no meaning. Woohoo! So waaccky!!!!!
Sysnopsis from Netflix:
The gang is tasked with pursuing syrup bandits in a candy kingdom, where Pomni helps a digital outlaw work through his sticky identity crisis.
Plot The episode begins with a scene of Pomni waking up in the middle of The Tent, when suddenly she noticed her heart is beating very fast (despite not trying to make herself nervous or scared) and her arm begins abstracting. Pomni then falls into The Cellar. As she falls, silhouetted versions of Caine, Ragatha, and Jax watch and taunt her. As the darkness envelops Pomni, the episode cuts to her waking up. She falls from her bed and glitches into a block in her room, which launches her upward. Ragatha then knocks on her door, asking how she slept. When Pomni doesn't respond, Ragatha assumes she's still asleep, but right as she is about to leave, Pomni opens the door. Ragatha happily greets her and tells her about a new fun adventure that Caine has planned for this episode.
The crew meets at the stage to listen to Caine introduce this episode's adventure, "Candy Carrier Chaos!". The Candy Canyon Kingdom has had its most valued resource, maple syrup, stolen by the gummy crocodile bandits, and it's up to the Digital Circus Crew to capture the bandits and return the syrup. Zooble opts out of the adventure, even after Caine mentions he will be testing a more immersive AI within. Caine soon pushes the remaining crew into a portal leading to the Candy Canyon Kingdom.
The scene then cuts to the crew members sitting on a carriage pulled by a Gummy Elephant. Outside the kingdom, the drawbridge opens for them, and the mannequins standing behind welcome and applaud them. There was a Peeking Mannequin behind the candy tree watching them, while the ride. After the ride, they hop out of the carriage and walk closer to the main castle while complimenting how this place is so beautiful. One mannequin accidentally charges at Gangle and knocks her to the ground, letting her mask fall off and break. They tell everyone that the princess is coming. The crowd cheers again while Princess Loolilalu walks out of the castle. She welcomes the group and points up at the artistic window of Caine, saying that they're sent by God. The princess assumes they know about that situation. She informs them that those bandits have a truck that holds the maple syrup. She suggests the group chase them with another truck. Lastly, Princess Loolilalu gives Ragatha a key that can be used to access the kingdom gates and instructs her to keep it in her hands. Jax makes Gangle drive because he doesn't like the sound of the horn. Then the group leaves with the good luck the princess and the mannequin population gave them. The truck leaves the kingdom, and the drawbridge lifts up behind it.
The bandits on the other side are near a campfire. The boss or yellow bandit (Gummigoo) is looking in the distance with binoculars, while the two other bandits (Chad and Max, respectively) behind him are talking together. Gummigoo sees the truck in the distance and decides to get in their tanker and flee. Later, when both trucks are close, Jax throws Pomni out of the truck, and Pomni's arms get attached to both trucks. Pomni's arms are stretched, but before Jax can cross over to the bandits' truck, Pomni loses her grip and lands on top of the bandits' truck, much to Jax's frustration. The purple bandit sees Pomni and tries to grab her, but can't because his arms are too short. He is then hit by a shoe, shot from a bazooka by Jax, and falls off the truck. Luckily, he manages to catch a rope that was connected to the truck, and later on, he climbs back up. The boss bandit decides to shift the truck's path onto a rocky road. The main truck made it to the rocky road. Later, the crew's truck rams into the bandits' truck. The bandits' truck activates another feature, adding spikes on the side of their truck. Kinger throws an anchor with a very long rope at Pomni, but the rope flies for a long time, causing Jax to ask if the anchor was tied to anything before the rope gets pulled back and pulls the truck over to the bandits' truck. Ragatha is impaled by one of the spikes. While the bandits try to move their truck, it moves both trucks until they collide. The collision made the crew's truck fall down to a fudge river, to which Jax blames Gangle for the wreck, while the other truck along with Pomni gets glitched into the ground, until said glitched truck gets pulled up high into the sky, leaving Max and Chad on the ground while Pomni and Gummigoo clip under the map.
Gummigoo falls down under the map. He lands in a blue maze, confused, and attempts to find a way out. After a while, he discovers a giant room, which contains every NPC for this adventure. Pomni falls down as he discovers this. Gummigoo begins to question her about why her model isn't standing there and then his existence. Pomni tries to explain to him what he is without sending him spiraling.
Back at the group, fudge bubbles pop, revealing the group's truck. The Fudge emerges from the river and looks at the truck with surprise. Thinking it was food, he takes the truck and tries to eat it. Ragatha stops The Fudge from eating the group by explaining that they aren't candy. The Fudge politely apologizes and talks about its past. He explained that he had been banished by Princess Loolilalu because he kept eating the mannequins, claiming that it isn't murder if it's delicious. Jax agrees with The Fudge's opinion, much to Ragatha's annoyance. Jax then offers a deal to the fudge, saying that if he helps catch the bandits, he will let him back into the kingdom. As he somehow took the key from Ragatha, suddenly the bandit's tanker crashed into the river, to which Max claims he saw the grim reaper wink at him—all of this to Ragatha's confusion.
Back under the map, Pomni tries to pry a replica of the syrup tanker with a lollipop, only for it to break. She asks Gummigoo for help, but he doesn't respond. Gummigoo breaks down how his life is fake and that he never really had a mother. Pomni counsels him and talks him into staying in the circus with her. They both get in the tanker and glitch back onto the map by colliding with replica blocks.
Back on the map, The Fudge carries the tanker and circus crew back to the kingdom, and Jax explains his disappointment about the adventure, thinking it would have extreme violence and blood. Max and Chad, who are both tied up, explain to Ragatha that Pomni and Gummigoo just disappeared. Kinger says if they don't find Pomni in time, Caine will have to find her. Ragatha expresses her worries that Pomni is having another horrible experience like the last adventure and that she doesn't like her. Kinger says it's a lot for everyone to go through, like when Ragatha first joined the circus.
The replica tanker with Pomni and Gummigoo shoots out of the ground and lands right into The Fudge, flattening him. Pomni and Gummigoo end up vomiting after the impact. A concerned Ragatha goes up to Pomni, asking if she's alright, to which she says yes and that she and Gummigoo are friends. Gummigoo hugs Max and Chad, happy to see them again. Jax expresses all of his disappointment again about the adventure, and Ragatha informs him that there might be violence and blood in the next adventure. The rest of the crew sees an another tanker, which also is full of maple syrup. Gummigoo asks the crew if his bandits can take that tanker back to their village. Ragatha agrees that it's no problem if there are two of them.
The crew returns the tanker to the kingdom, Princess Loolilalu thanks them for returning the syrup, and she opens the portal back to the circus, where she thinks Gummigoo will be executed. A large explosion is heard, and Jax realizes he didn't leave the gate unlocked for nothing, letting The Fudge back into the kingdom. To Ragatha's concern and confusion because she thought he was dead, Princess Loolilalu asks Jax what he did, but only for the crew to enter the portal back into the circus as The Fudge is heard attacking the mannequins.
Caine welcomes the crew back; he notices Gummigoo and immediately deletes him, much to Pomni's confusion and dismay. Caine claims that if he loses track of who's human and NPC, something bad could happen. Once again, she begins to softly, but crazily laugh as Caine goes away to drink water. Zooble appears again and is relieved to see Caine has left. Ragatha tries and fails to comfort Pomni by bringing up the fact that Caine sometimes reuses NPC’s. She asks Pomni if she'd like to attend Kaufmo's funeral, as it's the least she can do to honor his memory. Hearing this, Jax is briefly saddened before he walks off annoyed. The entire group (excluding Jax) is shown later at his funeral, each talking about how much Kaufmo meant to them (dialogue was inaudible), and Pomni begins to see that she has friends to take care of her, and she feels a little more relaxed about the circus.

Trivia The adventure is seen to take place a day after the pilot. Pomni’s nightmare sequence might be inspired of Woody’s nightmare sequence in Toy Story 2, which even have clear similarities when Pomni seeing Ragatha, Jax, and Caine satisfied sees her abstracted and falling, is similar to when Woody saw Andy says “Bye Woody”. The episode was made public for premiere roughly 46 hours before its release time. This is more time in advance than Glitch tends to post Murder Drones episodes. The episode was uploaded to YouTube on April 14 (UTC) before being made public, meaning that production had already finished at that point. Near the end, when Pomni's dream continues, her hand is grabbed at the last second before she falls in The Cellar. If one looks closely, they can see the hands are of each of the other humans except for Jax. Zooble was the only character who did not go on this adventure. It was revealed later that it was to prepare for Kaufmo's funeral. Jax references Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; by saying "We're one tanker away from being Augustus Glooped!". A reference to when Augustus Gloop fell into the chocolate river. This episode reached 27 million views in 24 hours, while also reaching 1 million in its first hour alone. This episode's sticker pack has the humans depicted as candy-people. Ragatha's hair is depicted as being made of licorice, which is in reference to when Jax threatens to convince The Fudge to eat her hair. The Utah Teapot model can be seen several times when Pomni and Gummigoo fall under the map. Errors At 01:11 in the episode, as Pomni falls into the Cellar in her nightmare, her arm does not show signs of abstraction. The doorknob on Pomni's door is on the left side of the door in this episode, while in the Pilot it was on the right side. When Gummigoo tells his boys to leave after he saw the Circus Gang's truck in the distance, Chad runs up to the campfire and stomps on it, but the fire stays intact. When Max falls off the truck, the spikes on the truck's sides are visible. However, the spikes are only actually deployed by Gummigoo after Gangle rams the truck, about 1:30 later in the episode. At 07:12, right after Gummigoo changes the truck's gear into "Rocky Road" mode, Pomni is missing from the top of the truck. She reappears in the next shot, but disappears again at 07:19 when Jax is looking at the bandit truck move away. At 07:20, and numerous other times, Gangle's hands clip through the steering wheel while driving the truck. When Pomni is clinging to the roof of the spinning bad guy truck, right before it clips through the ground, her hand can be seen clipping through the truck. Despite Ragatha getting a spike through her chest with a visible hole being left behind, there is no sign of said hole later on once the gang have landed in the fudge's lake. While The Fudge states his name and talks about his banishment from the Candy Canyon Kingdom, the Circus characters on the truck aren't animated at all, which is inconsistent with the previous shots that use the same camera angle. When Ragatha's dress is torn, one of Ragatha's hair and her dress clip through the spike.

The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor
Episode 3
Transcript The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor is the third episode of The Amazing Digital Circus.
The gang are back together to go on their next SPOOKY adventure. Kinger gets a shotgun! Zooble goes to therapy! Pomni goes to hell! So much fun awaits!!!!!
Synopsis from Netflix:
Kinger and Pomni explore a haunted mansion for an adventure filled with monsters, ghosts and therapy sessions.
Plot The episode opens with the characters surrounding Pomni, who's attempting to hold her breath, but being unsuccessful. Jax reminds her they can't die from asphyxiation, despite it feeling the same, as he wants to see what Pomni does when she holds it for long enough. Ragatha and Kinger try to give positive encouragement as Pomni reattempts. She ends up having her face change colors in a speed increasing hue shift. Jax explains different things happen to everyone who holds their breath for long periods - Kinger glows, Ragatha's hair sticks up, Gangle's mask spins, and Zooble "turns straight", Zooble tries to correct him, saying their limbs simply straighten, before flipping him off. Jax refuses to show what happens to him, as he asks "the viewers" what they think it is - while looking at nothing, annoying Zooble.
Caine flies into the gang's time, wondering why they aren't getting ready for the day's adventure. He reveals The Mystery of Mildenhall Manor - a mansion filled with paranormal activity, where the cast has to solve mysteries and capture ghosts. Before announcing more, Caine notices Zooble is once again absent from the cast, panicking as he made the adventure "really cool and mature" for them. Though they are still no where to be found, causing Caine to freeze in place, and Bubble to speak backwards while flying from the bottom of the screen to the top. Pomni questions if the NPCs will become self-aware again because she knew what happened last time, to which Caine is unsure, despite being the boss. He then opens the portal to the adventure.
The five venture into the mansion, with Ragatha wondering how scary it will be. Pomni just hopes it won't be a terrible nightmare, as she hates horror and jumpscares. After saying this, Jax jumpscares her by saying "boo", laughing at how timid it was. Ragatha shuts him down over, telling him about the rough times she's had. Jax comments everyone's had rough times. Gangle and the rest hear odd laughter coming from the doors as a ghostly silhouette enters, laughing at them. Pomni's eyes launch out of her sockets in fear, as the now cute ghost, Ghostly, introduces himself as their guide for the day. Pomni's eyes cartoonishly bug out and fall to the ground, though still attached to her eye-sockets. She picks them up, questioning why they won't go back in. Kinger reminisces on his first "wild take", though also doesn't know why the eyes won't retract.
Ghostly advises the group to choose which door to go through: the "normal door" - which is labeled as rated WOW for all ages. Otherwise, they can go through the "scary door" - which is labeled as rated AAAAA for "mature Zoobles" only. Before Ghostly can further speak, Jax sucks him into a vacuum. He comments that he thought they were supposed to capture all the ghosts when Ragatha shouts at him for it. Gangle asks him which door they should choose as Kinger continues to try and help Pomni, to which Jax grabs Gangle's comedy mask off her face and throws it into the scary door, which turns into a giant, monstrous mouth and swallows it, upsetting Gangle. Kinger rushes into the nearly opened passageway to retrieve it, not noticing he's still holding onto Pomni's eye, dragging her down with him. The remaining three look on mostly in horror, as Jax is happy he found which door was the scary one.
Meanwhile, Caine is flying around the circus tent, calling out for Zooble, wanting to talk to them. He remembers he can snap Zooble to him, which he ends up doing, Zooble questioning if he could have done that the entire time. Caine wants to figure out why they keep skipping his adventures, claiming they could hurt Bubble's feelings. When Zooble asks about this, Caine asks about their feelings and snaps in a therapy room, Caine acting as the therapist. Zooble is reluctant to do this, but Caine insists. Zooble reveals they have already told Caine the reason they don't go on adventures, but he never remembers. Caine claims he wouldn't forget, asking what he can do to fix his adventures. Zooble tells him adventures are all he thinks about, which is nothing to do with the problem. They realize Caine isn't even listening, instead opting to show Zooble a cool bee he drew.
Kinger and Pomni emerge from the "scary door" into a new room, finding a room with creepy heads of all the circus members, and a weird 7th character. Kinger finds a tape player, which plays audio from Baron Mildenhall, who specialized in hunting, which went from a hobby to an obsession. The 7th head is a creature he had been hunting for years, which isn't a man nor an animal. Baron wanted to protect his family and kill the creature, wanting to be freed from an awful feeling. He says he wasn't freed, before the tape stops, to which Kinger comments he's "starting to think". Pomni suggests they try to find the other three again, though being unsuccessful on their first door having a brick wall behind it. Kinger finds a dumbwaiter they could possibly ride up, though it's locked, making Pomni go slightly crazy.
The next room they find has missing posters, photos and tapes. Kinger finds another tape player to play, scaring Pomni. On Tuesday December 4th, Baron had shot the creature multiple times in its weak spots and decapitated it, keeping its head on his wall. Even in his apparent victory, the problems had only started. He took his eyes off the body for a minute, and the body disappeared - as the creature was not dead and would return to claim what was taken. He advises anyone listening to not let the head out of their sight. Kinger looks back to see that the head is indeed gone, calling it some inconvenient lore placement. Pomni finds the key to their possible exit, just before the lights go off, Kinger calling it inconvenient darkness, scaring Pomni by grabbing her and poking her eyes. He screams at a funny then unfunny joke, then suggests the two of them should hold onto each other and go back to the trophy room, which Pomni agrees to. As they make it back in, they hear creaking noises. Kinger advises they should be quiet not to attract anything, to which Pomni agrees to again, commenting on his tendency to be "hit and miss". The silence goes on until a fly comes in and Kinger attempts swatting it. When he manages to kill it, a head monster appears behind the two and screams at them. Kinger asks the monster to "speak up" before Pomni yells at him to run for the dumbwaiter. She desperately tries to unlock the doors with the key. Kinger recognizes the creature as the one from the tapes, as it opens its mouth widely in Kinger's face. He enters a dazed state and comments how beautiful "honey" looks. Pomni unlocks the door and manages to drag Kinger out of his state and into the dumbwaiter. Though it doesn't go up as they expected, and instead slowly goes down.
Back in the therapy room, Caine yells at Zooble that he does not use his adventures to torture his guests, any torment is an accident like "a good war criminal". Zooble yells back that they weren't talking about that, they couldn't care less for the adventures. Caine asks what their problem is then, not being able to remember. Zooble sighs, and proceeds to confess that to them, they're the problem, as they don't like themselves, their body and their removable joints, not being able to find anything that feels fitting. Caine happily states the reason he couldn't remember is because the problem is "already solved" with the Zooble Box - letting Zooble swap out their body part at will. However, Zooble voices that they've been unsuccessful in finding any parts they like since they arrived. Cain ignores this altogether, and pivots back to the adventure topic. A frustrated Zooble tells Caine no one likes his adventures. It's just that everyone goes on them for other reasons. Ragatha doesn't like saying no, Jax likes to Censorbarboing with everyone, Gangle's too shy to refuse, Kinger's insane, and Pomni looks too traumatized to speak after everyone. Caine questions how he could be bad at doing the one thing he's designed to do - the one thing he's supposed to good at. He begins to silently break down, making the therapy room glitch as he loses it. Zooble asks whose therapy session this is in a panic. This snaps Caine back to his old self, and he goes right back to finding the root Zooble's "behavioral" issues, calming the room down, but still annoying Zooble greatly.
Pomni and Kinger crash into another dark room - some kind of cellar with a corpse holding a gun. The next tape player reveals how bad things had become. Baron got so paranoid he wasn't the protector his family needed, instead becoming scared at everything. He ended up shooting his wife, as he mistook her for the creature, he finds this ironic, now becoming the monster. He waited in his cellar, having nothing to protect, but wanting to slay the beast that took his sanity and his wife. Kinger suggests they take the deceased Baron's gun, Pomni agrees as she runs over to the body. She begs it not to come to life. Humorously, it agrees to stay dead, as Pomni takes it, weirded out. Kinger realizes the gun has two shots, wanting to make them count. The body of the monster then crawls up into the room in front of the two, as the head comes behind them, making Kinger use both his shots to eliminate both. When Kinger comments the ordeal wasn't so bad, the tape from Mildenhall says it's what he would be saying if he didn't know the creature was one of God's angels. Anyone who brings harm to them will be brought to hell. The bodies emerge, as Mildenhall apologizes, needing a host to escape the hall of the damned. Kinger questions how this was recorded if he was in hell, before arms grab the two and drag them down into hell. The tape player comments their next breaths in hell will be their last, forfeiting their bodies. Pomni curses out the adventure before the two are fully submerged into the ground.
Meanwhile, Ragatha and Gangle are sitting with a ghostly woman, Martha Mildenhall, drinking tea. Ragatha apologizes to the woman about her husband killing her. She dismisses it, knowing how men are with having silly priorities. Ragatha agrees with this, looking at a tied up Jax. Martha hopes that the three's friends won't get bored of his endless monologues if they do run into him, as he could turn a less than a minute story into a tragedy. Ragatha makes sure to ask them, after thanking Martha for the tea again, the ghost saying they can come back anytime. The three have managed to complete the "PACIFIST ROUTE", but they have to wait for Kinger and Pomni before they can go. Gangle wonders how long they'll be waiting.
Kinger and Pomni sit in a not-so-typical rendition of hell, which Kinger comments on. Pomni is still freaked out that they are literally in hell. She starts to panic and yells to herself, Kinger reassures her that Caine should have included an exit, calming her slightly. The two look around, finding a foggy corridor. Kinger stops Pomni from walking through while he sees tiny ghost silhouettes occupying the fog. He suggests he tries something, which is to take his left eye off and throw it into the corridor, finding stairs at the other side of it. He still worries about walking through it, while Pomni just runs for it. Pomni soon gets possessed, having her body morph and her eyes glow orange. Kinger grabs her and hits her with the butt of the gun to scare the spirits out. The possessed jester asks Kinger how his wife is before Pomni gasps for air and breaks down. Kinger assumes the souls just want a vessel to leave with, and sighs that seven years of computer science lead to this. Pomni concludes that Caine just wants her to suffer, claiming she really is in hell. Kinger suggests they relax while nothing is chasing them. Pomni continues crying as the chess piece apologizes for leading them down this path, prompting her to ask him why he's been acting so differently.
Kinger realizes he has, not really being good with memories, but that darkness brings him back to the time where his wife, Queenie, had just abstracted. He doesn't remember everything that happened but it lead the two to the pillow fort. The fort was dark, but it calmed the abstracted being down, smoothing out her edges and removing her aggressiveness, and allowing Kinger to comfort her one last time before Caine took her to the cellar. When questioned, he describes her as funny, creative, into entomology, being the reason Kinger now loves bugs. Despite it not being the most cheerful memory, Kinger has control over it. He tells Pomni that the circus can feel pointless, but that if you have people that care about you, it's not, and that you should hold onto good people and memories, as they can do a lot. And they can be gone at any time. The worst thing he thinks you can do is make someone think they're not wanted or loved. Pomni smiles and tells Kinger she's glad he's here. They sit in silence for a few seconds, until Kinger recalls the last tape, thinking they can get through if they don't breathe, not thinking about it being able to get past Pomni's inability to hold her breath very well. Pomni realizes that when they leave, he'll go back to being crazy, and won't remember anything, Kinger reassures her that as long as she remembers, it will be fine, telling her she's very strong. The two hold hands as he keeps motivating her, and they inhale, entering the corridor. Pomni looks around, and has her face change colors again, while Kinger glows, just as Jax said.
The two make it back to the rest of the group, Ragatha asking if they're okay. Pomni says they're fine, before the two get startled at the tied up Jax, though Ragatha tells them not to worry. Kinger tells everyone how brave Pomni was, before second guessing himself, going back to insanity. The jester takes the chance to thank Ragatha for being concerned about her. Ragatha also thanks her for the praise, just wanting to make sure she's alright. Gangle asks the two if they remembered her comedy mask, to which the two forgot - and Kinger loudly swears with a censor.
In the circus tent, Caine has somehow become the patient, with Zooble being the therapist, and Bubble wearing Caine's hat. Caine questions if the Wild West theme for an adventure was a direction. He then snaps back to his normal self, realizing everyone made it back, telling Zooble to pretend they weren't doing therapy. Zooble is confused as they just throw the notebook away. The five walk in as Caine welcomes them back as meowing milkmaids, confusing everyone, and disgusting Jax greatly, who says to never call them that again. Pomni watches Kinger re-enter his pillow fort while the others walk off in their own directions, as Jax asks her what it was like being stuck with "the nutcase". She surprises him by saying it wasn't that bad as she lightly smiles. Jax looks confused, before rolling his eyes and walking off.

Trivia This is the first episode for many things: This is the first episode where Kinger swears (not counting "damn"). This is the first episode to show visible blood (briefly). This is the first episode to premiere on Netflix and YouTube on the same day. This is the first episode where someone doesn't vomit. This is the first episode where Jax does not have any keys. This is the first episode that had 2D (traditionally animated) scenes (when the lights went out), discounting the credits. The second episode would be "Untitled" with its anime sequence. This is the first and currently only episode to be rated TV-14 in the United States, due to briefly blood, the Angel, Kinger with a gun, and Pomni and Kinger going to hell. This is the first episode to have a swear word ("damn") uncensored. The second would be They All Get Guns. This episode reveals many important things about Kinger: He's broken, rather than insane. His pillow fort is not used as a form of protection, but as a dark place where he can act more normal and remember things easier. Kinger's stable demeanor and ability to remember things in the dark was initially foreshadowed in Candy Carrier Chaos!, when he is able to remember how Ragatha was when she first joined the circus, which he recounted when he had the metal bucket on his head. However, he immediately forgot what they were talking about when it was removed. Similarly, he quickly forgot the whole adventure he had with Pomni not long after going out of the exit door later in the episode. His ability to remember things in the dark explains why he closed his eyes during Kaufmo's funeral when eulogizing. The eyes that become visible in the Angel's mouth when roaring seemed to remind Kinger of his wife, as instead of being scared his pupils enlarge and he says "You look beautiful, honey." in a dazed state. The teacup Martha Mildenhall, Ragatha, and Gangle were drinking from is the same teacup from episode 5 of Murder Drones. There are some references only existing in other dubs: In the Polish dub, Caine refers to the returning crew as "skibidi sigmas" instead of directly translating the "meowing milkmaids" line. Alex Rochon and Michael Kovach thought it was funny, so they decided to make a English version of the line, with Jax's part being to tell Caine to "don’t ever quote brainrot again". They also made an English version of another dub line. Where Caine refers the returning crew as "milky furries", though Jax's line remains the same as it does in the original (English) version. In the German dub: The later part of "This spooky mansion has been rumored to be filled with the brim with paranormal activity!" is translated as "sollen geradezu reich an Geistern, Geistern und Weißbrot sein!". This is a reference to a line from the German dub of the SpongeBob episode Pranks a Lot, where "Toast" was directly translated to "Weißbrot" breaking the rhyme. Jax compares Gangle's mask spinning while holding her breath to a Beyblade. When Jax asks Pomni if she is scared of a vacuum cleaner, he instead asks her if she is scared of a "Schreckweg", the German name for the Poltergust from the Luigi's Mansion franchise. Jax capturing Ghostly with a vacuum cleaner is a reference to Luigi's Mansion. The way Caine setting up a therapy room with Zooble in the middle of a large place is similar to one of episodes of VeggieTales during the Silly Song segment “I Love My Lips” where Archibald Asparagus does the same thing with Larry the Cucumber as featured in the episode “Dave and the Giant Pickle”. The outro music is slightly different from all the other episodes. This could be the beta version of the outro music that accidentally got left in in the episode. When Jax first explains Kinger's ability to glow while holding his breath, if one looks very carefully at the background, there is a beige mannequin NPC eavesdropping on the group. Kinger grabs a shotgun that is related to his style of Shotgun King when it is time to attack the Angel. Vincent's wagon can be seen when Ragatha brings the wagon to the circus, re-used in Over the Hedge. Gangle's head in the trophy room has her eyes and mouth deformed like the mask of Ghostface from the Scream horror franchise.
Errors During the scene where Ragatha and Gangle are drinking tea with Martha Mildenhall when Ragatha stands up, her dress isn't aligned with her waist. When Gangle wonders how long they'll be waiting till the others will be back, the tears on her mask are gone. When Kinger stands up after being pushed by a possessed Pomni, his eye reappears.

Fast Food Masquerade
Episode 4
Transcript Fast Food Masquerade is the fourth episode of The Amazing Digital Circus
Pomni and friends spend an honest day's hard work at popular fast food chain; Spudsy's! Keep an eye out though, Gangle is the manager and has a brand new mask… it's like she's a whole NEW person!
Synopsis from Netflix:
The crew spends the day working at Spudsy’s burger chain. Can they handle a whole day of menial labour?
Plot The episode starts with Ragatha teaching Gangle how to pitch a softball, with Jax as the batter. After some encouragement from Ragatha and bored attitude from Jax, Gangle throws the softball, only for Jax to accidentally bat it into her mask, breaking it. While Ragatha and Jax argue, Zooble approaches Gangle to show her a plastic mask they found, highly resembling the masks Gangle wears.
She puts it on, telling Zooble that she feels normal, in a good way. She thanks them just before Pomni, Jax and Ragatha walk in and Caine appears and introduces the day's adventure as "The Curse of the Violent Psychopath Butcher". Before he can continue, Pomni interrupts, asking if they can back off the horror, due to the last adventure. Caine sarcastically suggests they give him some better ideas, to which Zooble corrects him by saying they do in a suggestion box; Caine apparently just forgot it existed.
The AI pulls it out of a wall and reads some of the suggestions out loud. Consisting of "hitting Zooble like a pinata" and "Jax staying silent for the whole adventure", Gangle asks for a more normal adventure, to which Caine finds a suggestion of working at a fast food restaurant. Gangle approves of this, and is thus given the job of shift manager at the new adventure of "An Honest Hard Days Work at Spudsy's Restaurant Chain".
Zooble once again attempts to sit out on the adventure, much to Caine's frustration. However, Kinger, under the assumption that there is a limit as to who can participate, offers to sit out if it means Zooble is able to take his place. A perplexed Zooble tries to reject this notion, but Caine, eager to have them on board, rolls with the logic and presses a button that sends them down a trap door. Gangle is feeling up to the adventure, having been a shift manager at some point in the past. Caine opens the portal for the remaining four members to enter through, with Jax slipping on a puddle along the way.
Entering Spudsy's and now wearing their uniforms, the group get ready to work. Gangle tries to get everyone started and tests all the machines. Jax immediately throws Ragatha in the deep-fryer, daring Gangle to do something about it; she calls upper-management, which is in fact Caine, asking if bad employees could have a punishment at the end of the day. Caine agrees, as this will bring motivation to the adventure. When questioned by a slightly panicked Jax as to why she would do that, Gangle gives him a list of jobs as she leaves in a jovial manner.
In the breakfast rush, Pomni is greeted by the first customer: Orbsman, an NPC from a previous adventure Pomni was not in. Jax comments on his dislike for Orbsman, to which Gangle criticizes him for. A female mannequin NPC comes up to the counter, she orders the Stupid Burger and tells Pomni that last time that she ordered it, they forgot to put the Stupid Sauce (which makes you stupid), Pomni asks the mannequin if that's on the menu, to which the mannequin tells her that yes and that she orders it all the time, adding that she's addicted. Ragatha goes to prepare the meal, but gets some of the sauce in her eye and she starts to hallucinate, seeing a creepy looking Gangle. Ragatha is now in a high-like state.
Upon noticing Zooble working at the grill, Jax comments how odd it is that they're actually participating in the adventure despite their cynicism. Zooble refutes by saying they want to avoid whatever punishment Caine has planned and backs it up by saying the only reason he actively doesn't hurt them on purpose is because he likes them. Meanwhile, Pomni unexpectedly runs into Gummigoo and his friends, Max and Chad, while at the counter, none of whom recognize her. A panicked and stammering Pomni lets them sit down before crawling over to the trio's table. Gummigoo notices her and, confused, asks if she's okay; Pomni merely claims she just wanted to say "hi", though she's obviously saddened by the fact that he doesn't remember her. Gangle learns of this from an intoxicated Ragatha, which she words as "flirting with the gummy guy". The manager yells at Pomni to get back to work. Pomni tries to have more time with him, but a manic Gangle keeps pushing, having a cracking sound appear from her mask.
The lunch rush starts. A livid Jax goes to the drive-thru and sees the Gloink Queen, accompanied by Gloinks, come up to the window, questioning what it is. A mannequin hogs the front of the restaurant line, instead eating cereal. Though it and the other mannequins behind are shortly eaten by the Gloink Queen, who orders 300 cheeseburgers.
As Pomni questions this, she spots the gummy gators leaving and requests a second, leaving a mannequin to get beaten up by the Gloinks. The queen demands them to stop as Ragatha giddily leans on the counter asking if all the Gloinks have names. The queen confirms her theory, saying she would be a terrible mother if they did not. Ragatha thinks of this as beautiful. Pomni tries to speak to Gummigoo one more time, but sees his confused face, and instead opts to wish him a good day. He wishes her one back as the two part ways.
Gangle requests Jax to clean the bathroom. Jax repeatedly rejects her pushes for him to be a model and positive employee, saying she is better when she is sad. This causes another cracking sound to come from Gangle. She suggests, after a long pause, that he just needs more training. A big hand grabs Jax and takes him into a dark room with a TV. The TV starts to play a Spudsy's Instructional Employee Training video.
On the video, Gangle says that it was cool to have dreams, like being a manga artist, but those were completely unrealistic and that working at fast food chains can be the better option. Gangle then asks if the viewer was smiling, to which Jax says he is not. Gangle loses her smile and coldly asks "Why not?". Suddenly, a chair and four hands grab Jax and put his face near the screen. Gangle then states that it was time for reevaluation, and the screen starts to flicker two masks, one happy and one sad. Jax is completely bewildered.
Zooble is working as normal, but Ragatha is still disoriented, having only made five or six burgers out of 300. Gangle is requested by the former for help, who is mad about paint being huffed outside of breaks. Ragatha challenges Gangle's authority, ignoring her concern and attempted motivation, eventually flat-out calling her annoying with the happy mask, causing Gangle's mask to crack once more, deciding to opt for a time out and asking Zooble to help Ragatha instead.
A hand sends a perplexed Jax back to the drive-thru, patting him on the head. He walks to see the time still at 12pm, yelling at Gangle that it is probably broken. The saddened Gangle questions if it is just the clock or if everyone is broken. An annoyed Jax witnesses her spiral into anxious insanity, but when her watch ends up beeping for the next hour, It turns out the clock is, in fact, broken.
Finally the dinner rush starts, as Pomni waves the Gloink family goodbye. An exhausted Jax sees the inebriated Ragatha spread out on the floor, who greets him weirdly when he asks her to move. He decides that she must be drunk before stepping over her and flopping onto the counter next to Pomni, asking how she is doing. She is surprised by his genuine conversation starter, saying she is doing fine. Jax wishes he could agree as Gangle calls him over once more to do dishes, causing him to bid Pomni a friendly farewell, much to her confusion. Customers are met with satisfaction as Gangle steps outside to take off her new mask and screams into her arms.
She does not notice until after that Pomni was in the same area, who asks about her well being. Gangle sits down on the pavement, commenting that her comedy mask is "usually broken by now". Pomni tries to reassure her, asking if she has talked to someone about her issues, such as Ragatha. Gangle brushes that off, saying it is hard to tell if Ragatha is genuine. Before any more suggestions, the mask is put back on as Gangle then explains that they should not be talking about their feelings all night, and awkwardly laughs, going back into the restaurant and leaving Pomni alone.
Jax waits for 9pm to hit, before deciding to "clock out", waving the saddened Gangle off and sitting in a car labelled with his name. Zooble comes to see Gangle, saying that they will probably need to drive Ragatha back. Gangle tells them Ragatha will get off in an hour, so all four decide to stick around. Eventually, Zooble leaves with Ragatha, while Gangle had not moved in that time, severely depressed and delusional in the quiet and dark kitchen. Gangle appears to begin to lose her sanity until Pomni calls her back to reality, offering to close up the restaurant instead. After being reassured that it is okay, Gangle leaves.
Gangle dejectedly stands near the chain's doors, looking up at the starry sky. She takes off her new mask and throws it away, being able to weakly smile and run in slow-mo under a street lamp. While dancing under the said lamp with her eyes closed, she unintentionally trips on a curve and falls into oncoming traffic. She is then suddenly sent into an office with Caine as he gives her a performance review.
He calls the day productive, but comments on her mistakes. Theoretically, Gangle could push the blame onto everyone else to dodge point docks, but Gangle rejects the offer, saying she just cracked under pressure. Her score is knocked down to a B+, having nothing to say for herself. Caine takes this as a positive thing and sticks her photo and score onto the board with everyone else (including Kinger) before sending her off.
Back in the circus tent, Pomni, Ragatha, Jax and Kinger are sitting together while Gangle has isolated herself with her drawings. Zooble finds her and reassures her of people still wanting to talk to her. They brush off the new mask not working, saying something will work eventually. Gangle wipes her tear, saying she does not deserve Zooble, as the two walk to rejoin the group.

Trivia This is the first episode in which Gangle is the main character. This episode had one million views less than half an hour after it premiered. [1] This is the second episode where Pomni tries to comfort a character, with the first being Candy Carrier Chaos!. This episode reveals a few important things about Gangle. Her masks do not actually change her personality. They are used to hide her true feelings in a literal form of masking. She previously wanted to be an artist and draw her own manga. She worked as a fast food shift manager at one point. When Zooble gives Gangle her new mask and Pomni, Jax and Ragatha appear to see what is going on, Jax and Gangle mention that Pomni would look good with a unicorn horn. This is a reference to Pomni's sketches in which she appears with a unicorn horn. Another reference to her sketches is when Gangle says that she would look good with one, Pomni says, "Well, it's possib-", before getting interrupted by Caine. This is referencing how "Well, it's possible" is considered her joke "catchphrase" in her sketches. This is the first episode where Zooble goes on an adventure and someone else, in this case Kinger sits out. This is the second episode to be released on a Friday 13th with the first being the Pilot episode. The honking noise that can be heard when Caine drops Zooble through a hole in the floor is a reference to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971).[1] The fanfare that plays when Spudsy's is first shown is based on the board intro jingle from Mario Party.[1] The stupid sauce that Ragatha accidentally gets in her eye may represent alcohol or drugs, as it completely alters her personality and speech and makes her more honest than usual. It is stated that those who consume it could end up addicted. Gangle's monologue about how long they have been at the restaurant is a reference to The Lighthouse (2019). The episode reveals that each Gloink has a name that is given by their mother, the Gloink Queen. Three of them are named Blumby, Skethers and Leotthew. In the Russian dub, the Gloink Queen's children's names are Gorrister, Benny, and Nimdok. This is a reference to three of the five main characters from the book I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream (1967), the story that was also part of the inspiration for the series. In the German dub, their names are Uzi, V, and Cyn, directly referencing Glitch's other series, Murder Drones. The three also represent the said Murder Drones characters' appearances. The red block star is Cyn, because of Tessa's skin being red when she wore her skin. The purple block circle is Uzi because her color is purple. The yellow block triangle is V because her color is yellow. In the French dub, their names are Fifi, Riri, and Loulou, which are the French names of Donald Duck's triplet nephews (Huey, Dewey and Louie). In the Polish dub, their names are Tytuś, Romuś and Atomuś, which are are diminutives of the names of the main characters of the Polish comic book titled "Tytus, Romek i A'Tomek". In the Spanish dub, their names are Noelia, Pablo and Denise; the names of the voice actors of Pomni, Jax and Gangle in that dub. In the Dutch dub, rather than ordering a "Stupid Burger", the rude NPC orders a "Brainrot Burger". The happy mask video Gangle used to "train" Jax with is a reference to the Silver Shamrock commercials from Halloween III: Season of the Witch.[1] Caine's delivery of the line "You can shut up now!" is a reference to the infamous video Minecraft with Gadget.[1] Ragatha's line "Hurt nothin', I'm hurt enough! Packages landin' on my head, tea parties, dancin' lessons..." is a reference to "No Girl's Toy" from Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure (1977). Similarly, Ragatha's other line "Why are you always being a-a-a grunch?" is a reference to Grinch's Ultimatum by PilotRedSun. The main character is given a choice by Santa of being good (represented by a "sainte") or evil (represented by a "grunch"). The main character immediately goes for being a Grunch, dancing around in the street and becoming the "christmas cretin". When Caine reviews the employee performances of the humans, everyone gets a B+, except for Kinger, who gets an A+. Not only is Kinger completely absent from the adventure, but his employee photograph has him riding a bucking bull. When Caine says "I'm such a good boss," he glitches in various ways: his eyes move forward, he transforms into the Memo Aponte version of Caine, he poses like an Egyptian hieroglyph, he does the Peter Griffin Death Pose, and finally T-Poses. The giant hands used to grab and move Jax are implied to be Caine's hands but, since they have identical gloves, they are using the models of Kinger's hands since his hands are already disembodied.[2] Gummigoo does not mention his name to Pomni, so he is noticeably surprised when Pomni says, "But, it's Gummigoo." This is the first and so far only episode in the series to not include swearing or censorship. This is the second episode (after the pilot) to not be named after the adventure. Gangle being hit by a truck and transported to Caine's office could be a reference to "Truck-kun". Orbsman says, "Hello, I am ready to order! That's right, it's me, Orbsman. Here to order the ☆#‰♠︎◆5》♡7 value meal!!!".[3] This episode and episode 3 currently have the second shortest gap in between each other, at around 2 months and 2 weeks. When Gummigoo and the other bandits sit down at a table, their truck can be seen outside the window. The C&A logo is visible on the back of Caine's computer monitor, on the computer screen itself, and on a box of sauce packets. This is the first episode where Abstraction is never directly mentioned. The outro music in this episode is the same as the first two episodes. In The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor it was slightly different. The pickup truck shown at 5:28 appears to have Romanian-type license plates, spelling MR-57-AMH. However, there is no county in Romania having the county code MR. This is the shortest episode with its runtime being 23:20. Animation Errors At 0:40, Ragatha's leg clips through her dress as she's arguing with Jax. From 1:54 to 1:58, when Pomni talks about the events of the previous episode, the captions are a line that Caine says not long after. This was fixed later. Also, At 1:52, Kinger is Missing from the Background. At 2:15, The Gang, are far apart, but when Caine pulls off the Suggestion Box off, they are turned sideways, and closer together. Also 2:44, Pomni, Ragatha, and Kinger are missing. When Gangle throws away the plastic mask, it has no face on it for one shot. When Gangle leaves the office after receiving her grade, the door can be seen clipping through the doorframe. After Gangle announces it's lunch time, Jax moves from by the drive-thru to next to the manager's office in the next shot. Similarly, the lights inside the office also turn off. At 6:09, Orbsman's hand can be seen clipping though the counter. However, this may or may not have been intentional. When Gangle's comedy mask is broken, she falls backwards. In the next shot when she gets up, she is positioned as if she fell forwards. At 4:42, when Jax asks Gangle what she is gonna do after he put Ragatha in the fryer, his mouth does not move. Around 5:25, as Gangle goes to the office, she clips through the wall, instead of going through the open door. At 17:03, there are four timesheets. Two of them are on the left side and two on the right. One timesheet is missing. Similarly, in the scene where Ragatha and Zooble are cleaning up, there are five timesheets this time. One on the left side and 4 on the right. On the episode’s YouTube thumbnail, Ragatha’s hair bow is clipping through the counter where the register is present.

Transcript Untitled is the fifth episode of The Amazing Digital Circus.
Synopsis We aren't actually sure what this episode is about.
Plot Gangle, Kinger, Jax, Pomni and Ragatha return to the Circus after an underwater adventure while Zooble is on the couch reading a magazine, with Gangle putting back on her broken happy mask. Pomni falls to the ground making Ragatha assure her she's sure the next adventure will be less 'wet', and Kinger asks the ragdoll for help counting eggs before they hatch. Pomni notices an NPC in the distance. As things calm down, Caine approaches Zooble, thinking of ideas for new adventures. Zooble remarks sarcastically about the last adventure's success, which makes Caine angry but then snap into saying criticism is greatly appreciated.
He then shifts focus to a pitch meeting, dragging everyone besides Zooble to the sofas, where he presents new concepts for some new adventures to the group. One is where they tour his magic chocolate factory and get killed by various OSHA violations. Another one is a war between a sentient cardiovascular system and the United States military. Another one has the group survive in a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland with a mean telepathic talking dog.
Gangle's mask breaks at the ideas, and Ragatha thinks it all sounds dark. Hearing this, Caine rejects an idea without any darkness, therefore stakes, and Bubble thinks there would be no sex appeal, confusing Caine. Zooble suggests reviewing ideas from the suggestion box instead. Caine is surprised that not everyone disliked the idea. Pomni and Zooble are open to it, finding having an adventure based in reality relatively fine, while the others are less than enthusiastic. Caine snaps back to being angry at their opinions being split. Zooble leaves another suggestion of adventures being open at all times, making the AI himself 'whisper' to Bubble about this meaning the other intelligent AIs will be left running for a prolonged period of time. He tries to zip Zooble's mouth shut when they reveal they can hear him, only to fail because Zooble doesn't have a mouth. Caine finally settles on an idea - a Lightning Round - where they go all the suggested ideas in rapid succession, offering skips to the more disliked ideas. Pomni tries to object to the Lightning Round being right now straight after the last adventure, but Caine opens the portal anyways and sucks them all in.
Poacher's Paradise First, they are sent to one of Jax's adventures. Where Jax is of course a poacher and introduces the hypothetical audience to an episode of "Poach Everything", hunting the critically endangered red ribbon rhinoceros, which is Gangle in a rhinoceros shape. Jax shoots Gangle, dismantling her ribbons and making "Nice Shot!" appear on the screen. Jax chews on the ribbons aggressively, which he enjoys and disgusts Zooble, who is a flamingo. Jax says he's already taken down 1 and has 4 more to go, but then Zooble calls for a vote to skip the adventure and also make Jax vegan for the rest of the day. Jax tells Zooble that they can't do that, but then a "Vote Called" box appears on the screen, showing that Pomni, Kinger, Gangle and Ragatha voted in favor of that while Jax voted against that, so the request is fulfilled and Jax gets surprised to see that they can do that. Caine tells Jax that democracy has spoken, to which Jax says that democracy sucks and the group is sent on their next adventure.
President Pomni They are sent to Jax's other adventure. Pomni questions her leading role which was given to her on Jax's request. After Zooble once again gets annoyed, they and Ragatha are Pomni's guards while Kinger shows the president new developments of the Australia and New Zealand war. He asks her on the topic of refugees, prompting a confused response. After Ragatha's reassurance, Kinger pulls Pomni aside to show that they all got briefs on their characters, him being her assistant. Jax then yells that he didn't give Pomni a brief because he thought seeing what she would do would be fun. Said Jax later comes in the door, breaking past Zooble, as an Australian extremist with a spider spreading bomb he plans to detonate. Seeing Kinger and Pomni peek from under the desk, he asks if this is a bad time to the camera, prompting canned laughter. Caine comments on his 'phenomenal acting', nothing how 'it's hard to believe he's vegan' while watching all of this with Bubble. The panicking jester is deactivating the bomb by trying to cut wires, with the normal reassurance from Ragatha and mocking from Jax, who reveals centipedes are in the bomb too. She asks which wire she should cut, getting bad suggestions all around. During this, Gangle comes in with a bomb strapped to her chest as a New Zealand extremist who doesn't know what New Zealanders threaten people with. Her bomb blows up, prompting an intermission.
Bubble's Message Bubble flies in front of the camera and makes a distorted noise before leaving.
アメイジング デジタル サーカス 高校 (translated: The Amazing Digital Circus: Highschool) They are sent to Gangle's adventures. Introducing an anime school slice of life intro with the six circus members. Jax immediately complains that he doesn't like the adventure and wants to leave, to which Zooble tells him that at least they finally have one that's by someone else. Jax complains that it's no fun going back to school, to which Ragatha tells him to give it a chance. Zooble tells Gangle that there is nothing wrong with her suggestion, to which Gangle, surprised, asks them how they knew that it was her suggestion. Jax asks Pomni if she can believe that Gangle draws anime and dragged them into one, declaring that she's a loser, to which Pomni reminds him that he threw her out of a moving truck. Kinger, who is the teacher, tells the group that they will learn the popular foreign language known as... 英語/English. Jax complains again that the adventure is boring and votes to skip it, to which Zooble tells him to shut up and that aren't going to skip it. Jax says that slice-of-life animes are the worst ones and that they're embarrassing, though he then mentions that they are not as embarrassing as one time Gangle took an anime figure and apparently did something embarrassing with it, Gangle panics and she agrees to skip the adventure to prevent Jax from telling what happened that time.
Stargazing They are sent to the circus grounds at night, stargazing. Pomni gets relieved they can finally relax, with Jax preferring some stakes. Kinger, Zooble and Gangle are enjoying a picnic, inspiring Jax to ask Pomni if she thinks Gangle is capable of being happy, due to her comedy mask breaking everyday. This perplexes Pomni, until Ragatha comes over to point out Jax's mean nature. While he makes his classic response, Pomni is surprised that he actually cares about what Gangle likes. He looks empathetic, but quickly brushes it off. She questions his friend quantity, Ragatha 'whispering' to her 'not anymore'. This strikes something in Jax, making him look back at her lividly. She tries to apologize in a panicked state, but gives up on the awkward situation and goes to Kinger. Pomni, now a third wheel, questions the situation, Jax is quick to dismiss it and somewhat solemnly for him asks if Ragatha gets on her nerves sometimes, as she tries way too hard to be nice and optimistic to everyone despite their situation. He takes all of this behavior as her trying to take advantage of them. After pausing for some self reflection, he jumps right back to being snarky, calling her dumb and weird. Pomni thinks the weirdness applies to everyone, though he disagrees, calling his appearance, especially his ears and tail 'peak male performance'. His chatting partner comments he doesn't have a tail, leading to him realizing the same of his tail being missing since at least Pomni got here.
Caine is watching them from afar with the moon, both of them commenting how they look happy. The moon tries to suggest they do something before Caine realizes it's a 'bad thing', then Bubble goofily asks why it is a bad thing, to which Caine panics that they're enjoying the suggestion box adventures more than his adventures. Bubble comments he should die, but cuts to saying he should throw a 'f
Wacky Bleep ing' beach party. Caine is angrily outstanded that Bubble can swear now, and sends everyone to an Intermission Time.
Intermission The intermission shows flashy animations of all the characters and of Caine presenting himself in a godly manner. It ends with Jax running through a corridor of their rooms, ending up at a door with Ribbit crossed out and abstracted eyes surrounding the border. Caine snaps out of the intermission sequence when Zooble interrupts him with sheer confusion, leaving Caine to freeze cross-eyed and Bubble to send them to their next adventure.
The Bar The next adventure is set in a bar in the 1930s, the circus members are mobsters and everything is in black and white, with only the neon signs, drinks and food having color. Zooble is the bartender and Jax requests a whisky sour walking in, having to hold the egg white due to his veganism. Jax is annoyed, asking how it's even possible because he "thought Caine couldn't-", before cutting himself off. Zooble attends to his order, commenting they could have made it way worse for him, making him want to turn them into a slug via a vote, the Vote called box appears and reveals that everyone voted against that. Caine suddenly at the bar announces the rejection, which makes Jax scream in anger and frustration as he gets his drink. Ragatha and Kinger make it into the bar. Ragatha orders a cosmopolitan and Kinger a corncob blitz, where for the latter, Zooble tells Kinger it will throw something together. Pomni compliments Zooble's alcohol knowledge, revealing it was their suggestion as one of their previous jobs was at a bar, and they enjoyed it. Jax comments it's fitting for them, but Zooble can't be asked to figure out the implication. He shifts to asking Pomni if she was old enough to have any jobs. Being 25, she obviously did, being a supermarket chain accountant. Due to the tameness of this job, she often got bored of it and seeked out mild thrills, like exploring abandoned buildings and posting about it, despite getting no views. She didn't mind this though, as it was for her. Zooble relates to thrill seeking, but didn't record it, offering Ragatha her drink. Jax makes fun of Zooble for hiding something, making Zooble question his backstory, only for his was quickly shut down by Zooble, as they knew what Jax's fake story was referencing.
They ask Gangle next - she worked in fast food, and was in community college for graphic design but dropped out, not pursuing her art after that. Zooble offers to make art with Gangle, impressing Ragatha that they have the art skills too. Zooble reveals a second part of their past - being a tattoo artist for a couple of years. Jax does his classic jabbing at Zooble, only bringing confusion of what he even means, to which he answers fun, forgetting Zooble apparently hates it, Zooble saying fun isn't what they hate. Ragatha takes her turn to talk about her past, being born into a wealthy family with horses and chickens on a large property, though her mother was 'a lot'. She worked in real estate for some time until ending up in the circus, concluding her mom likely doesn't miss her, and that she doesn't miss the verbal abuse she did. When noticing everyone's concerned expressions, she quickly sips her drink and summarizes the experience as being an average farm girl. Jax looks worryingly for a second before announcing there's no point in asking Kinger about his life due to him likely not remembering enough to share. Pomni asks if they know about his wife Queenie, confusing Jax and even confusing Kinger who panics at the mention of him having a wife, before being offered his drink. Zooble then catches Jax's nervous expression towards the corn on Kinger's corncob blitz.
A mannequin with a hat walks into the bar, trying to say hello before quickly disappearing. Zooble introduces him to Pomni as Disappearing Guy from a previous adventure, who just does that. Jax shames Pomni over her lack of knowledge before smugly looking at Zooble, prompting the latter to ignore him. He turns to smugly apologizing to Pomni about the president adventure, just thinking it would be funny. Pomni, more perplexed than ever before, questions but then accepts the apology. Jax wraps his arm around her, being 'excited' about the first steps of a budding friendship. When asked about it by him, Ragatha looks at him with a surprised face. She awkwardly gets the attention of Pomni, trying to make the moment of abstracted Kaufmo bashing her into the walls as a comical moment, only to realize it was likely actually traumatic for the jester. Jax reminds her of getting high at the fast food adventure and telling Gangle to "kill herself", finding that amusing. Ragatha rejects the notion of her saying that, only to apologize to Gangle about it, she would never say it if not influenced. Jax wants Ragatha to be mean sometimes, Zooble taking it as him reiterating that torturing Gangle is funny. He thinks they take the place way too seriously. Zooble, at their limit, took the corn off Kinger’s corncob blitz and place it next to Jax, revealing his apparent fear of it, despite his rejection of his fear. Caine soon announces he's bored and goes on to the next adventure, despite Zooble protesting that Caine's isn't even a part of this adventure.
Good Ol' Fashioned Softball They are sent to a softball stadium, with Caine and Bubble as the commentators in the adventure Good Ol' Fashioned Softball. The circus cast is the Big Tops, playing against the Evil Big Tops - who are color and personality changes of the cast, except Gangle, who is replaced with a recolored Orbsman. They all introduce themselves, as Ragatha is confused at this being in her suggestion, and Gangle not even having an evil clone. Caine introduces a special guest to sing the American national anthem. The guest turns out to be Disappearing Guy, who disappears at the second note, receiving applause anyways, majority from a large centipede which scares Ragatha. Kinger tries to motivate the team as team captain - despite not knowing what, who, when, or why is going on, he knows where is going on - on the field, wanting them to break some tailbones. Evil Jax comes to shyly wish them all a fun game, Jax already wants to kill him. Ragatha is up to bat first, being laughed at by her evil self. Bazooble serves the ball, which Ragatha hits right into Evil Pomni's hands, proclaiming her out, causing Ragatha to throw her hat at the ground, annoyed. Jax finds he gets along with Evil Pomni, as they both enjoy ridiculing Ragatha. Zooble is seen whispering something to Gangle’s that results in a vote to come up. This vote is made by Gangle which was to put Jax in a maid dress and won 3/5 (excluding Jax and Pomni’s vote, likely a sign that she is warming up to Jax and showing him respect). He gets enraged at this and starts chasing Gangle when he assumes it was originally her idea, Zooble gets worried since its partly their fault. He's interrupted when he's told he's up to bat, trying to protest it. Zooble thought he'd be into this, throwing his statement of him hating fun back at him. Jax continues to be enraged about having to wear the dress, Zooble commenting this is the most upset they've seen him. Kinger insists he bats, which he regrettably agrees, promising to kill Zooble when this is all over. Bazooble talks to Jax in a goofy voice, annoying him, while Evil Jax tries to compliment his look, making the 'good' counterpart wish death upon him. He bats, but hits the ball into the centipede in the audience, who soon consumes it. Jax shrugs the game off as having no more ball. Kinger tries to use one of his eyes as a ball, but then takes one of Zooble's eyes. He apologised to Zooble when it got annoyed and said it's eye is the perfect softball size, jokingly saying that they are not playing baseball here. Zooble tried to get it's eye back but Kinger threw it to Bazooble, who only derply attaches it onto their head. Jax gives up, despite Kinger's protests.
Ragatha laments how she hit the ball, but apologizes to Pomni for her bad nature. Pomni tells her she indirectly agrees with Jax, about that it's okay to show negative emotions, and that everyone needs to be a jerk sometimes. Ragatha answers somewhat hesitant to this. Zooble requests a ball from Caine, who supplies one. They invite Jax back over to pitch, who says bye to Evil Pomni before obliging. He purposely misses when served and gets out, then being interested when Gangle is up to bat, asking the jester's opinion on how her serve will go (not noticing Zooble place an ear of corn on the bench beside him). Ragatha partially snaps and asks Jax to stop trying to get Pomni to act like him, saying that making her be happy all the time would at least be better than turning her into a jerk. Pomni tries to knock them both down by saying she can think for herself. Jax rejects the assumption that he's forcing his ideals onto her, causing Ragatha to get at him for pretending everyone likes him when he actually just ruins everything. Pomni tries to calm everyone down, only for Ragatha to remind her of her saying this behavior is alright sometimes. She once again apologizes for her bad nature, being accepted. She begrudgingly apologies to Jax for the situation, and for bringing up his lack of friends earlier, causing him to wipe his smug look off his face. He rejects Pomni's request to talk about that, as he's in a maid outfit, before being jumpscared by corn again. Ragatha asks Kinger how the game is going, who comments Gangle did a home run. Gangle awkwardly thanks Ragatha for her instructions.
Zooble is next up to bat, asking for their eye back. Bazooble has already forgotten about it before serving. Zooble hits the ball straight into their evil counterpart breaking them into pieces, Caine concluding it as a home run, making Coach Dictatorer rage. Zooble accepts the outcome and walks off. Pomni is next to bat, but asks Ragatha if she wants to go as a second chance. Ragatha accepts and walks onto the field to bat, only to find since Bazooble was still in pieces nothing happened. Caine takes this as yet another home run, and the Big Tops win. Ragatha questions the legitimacy of this, but Caine doesn't follow the rules and pronounces them done. Evil Ragatha and Evil Pomni are angry over their loss, annoyed that they didn't get to bat. Ragatha looks back at Jax, seeing him and Pomni continue bonding with each other, before being lifted up by a joyful Kinger over the team winning. Gangle and Zooble also congratulate the team. Jax is reverted back to his regular outfit, realizing he's not a vegan and racing off. He pounces onto a confused Evil Jax and treats him like he treated the red ribbon rhinoceros. Kinger asks 'what is going on'. Pomni finds amusement in this, but stops showing it when looked at by Ragatha.
All the members come back through the portal into the circus tent, as Caine hopes they learned that his adventures are better than the suggestion box ideas. Zooble and Pomni agree that some adventures were okay, and Jax liked his ones. He tells Pomni he can show her something he was talking about in the hall, to which she agrees, making them walk off one way, and Zooble, Kinger and Gangle walk off the other. Ragatha is left alone, and solemnly walks her own way. Secretly, a strange mannequin was watching everything from behind a wall, walking away shortly after.

Trivia "Untitled" is (as of August 15th, 2025) the third longest Digital Circus episode, with They All Get Guns being the longest with an additional 8 minutes and the Pilot being the second longest with an additional 12 seconds compared to "Untitled" This is the first episode since Episode 3 to not be released on Netflix on the first day of the episode's release. This is the first episode to use the 2025 Glitch Productions intro. This is the first episode that has an adventure that involves with the entire crew, with Zooble and Kinger included and a part of it taking place in The Grounds. This is the first time Zooble appears in the thumbnail of an episode. This is the first time Pomni is seen without her jester hat. This is the third time Pomni has been emotional support, with prior episodes being Fast Food Masquerade and Candy Carrier Chaos. This episode marks the first time Ragatha has swore. The word "damn" is censored in this episode, despite it not being censored in "The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor," perhaps from physical surveillance of Caine. Five teasers were given for this episode on TheWackyWatch.com, with a different one loading every time the page is refreshed. One includes Poacher's Paradise, another has a snippet of the Intermission with Morse code next to it, and a third has Good Ol' Fashioned Softball. The Morse code, once translated properly, reads "SOS CQD I AM LOSING MY MIND ALSO HI" The other two are hoaxes that aren't in the episode, but could be referencing something. They include an office one (which could be referring to President Pomni) and a mafia-based one (which may be a reference to the noir—styled segment). During the scene where Pomni reveals to Jax that he has not had his tail the entire time that she has known him, there is a cloud behind Jax that looks like a rabbit with its tail cut off. The Intermission uses the same remixed versions of English Caine's voice lines in every dub except for Dutch and German, in which they use the remixed vocals of Caine in their respective languages. Plastic Wax, a fellow Australian animation studio, provided additional 3D animation for the episode while SPOONS, a 2D animation company, did the anime production with Poster drawings by Nick Szopko, creator of Glitch's recent new indie show The Gaslight District. The "Vote Called" boxes don't show the person who called the vote. While disarming the bomb, Pomni reveals her favorite color is red, and Kinger reveals his favorite is black. Kinger's favorite color being black could either indicate liking the darkness or his love of his wife, Queenie, who took the form of a black queen chess piece before abstracting. Also to note, during the intermission, Kinger gets knocked off by a black rook chess piece. When Kinger asked Ragatha to count his eggs, it was soon revealed, thanks to Caine's Summoning, that Kinger was holding a dozen of white eggs while Ragatha was holding a dozen of brown eggs. It may have been a past activity between Kinger and Queenie before she abstracted. In the Anime adventure, there is concept art and a poster for The Gaslight District. Along with this, there is also a symbol of the Black Hand on the chalkboard at the back of the classroom. The poster visible behind Jax's chair has "GASLIGHT DISTRICT REFERENCE" written on it in the runic language used in that show. Kinger could possibly have some comprehension of the Japanese language, as he wrote his name in katakana (キンガー Kingā) and the kanji for "English" (英語 Eigo), though it might just be a stab on Anime English Dubs. Most foreign dubs change the language Kinger is teaching to match the respective localisation language. The exceptions are the Arabic, Chinese, Filipino, Hindi, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Urdu, and Vietnamese dubs, which left it as English. Gooseworx said that this episode is the "silly before the storm." Meaning that episodes 6-9 will get progressively darker. The Japanese title in the Anime adventure (アメイジング デジタルサーカス高校) translates to "Amazing Digital Circus High School". The word Jax was looking for to describe those like Gangle who have a fascination for anime to Pomni was weeaboo or weeb. Instead he just calls them losers. In the Dutch dub, he calls them weeb losers. Jax implies that “Slice of Life” anime’s are the worst ones for how embarrassing they are. In the Spanish Dub, Jax says he prefers anime with a lot of gore in it. The Stargazing scene appears in the show's credits. Though it wasn't mentioned on who suggested this adventure, it may possibly be either Kinger's, Queenie's, or both's idea, as it was mixed with fireflies and the darkness of the night. This episode reveals a little about the character's past lives: Pomni was an accountant for a supermarket chain, and went urban exploring while bored. She posted her urbex recordings on YouTube, though she got no views. Gangle worked at fast food (mentioned by Plastic Gangle in Fast Food Masquerade) but took college for graphic design and dropped out. Ragatha was a fairly-wealthy farm girl, had an abusive mother, and worked in real estate for a bit. This was hinted (and fan-speculated) at Fast Food Masquerade (under the influence of Stupid Sauce) on how she misses her horses at the sight of seeing horseradish and finding the name funny. Zooble was once a bartender and tattoo artist. They also explored abandoned buildings like Pomni, but didn't record them. Jax finds humor in Zooble's past careers as they can be seen as stereotypical for LGBTQ+ people. Jax doesn't explain his life, instead referencing Breaking Bad saying he had a lung cancer diagnosis, and taught his classmate from a chemistry class. He does show some sincerity while complaining during Gangle's adventure, implying he has had schooling and does not remember high school fondly. Also to note, Ragatha is unaware of Breaking Bad and the reference. Gangle is the only human who was not shown to be given an "evil" counterpart, due to the continuity of Gangle always getting the short-end of the stick. Gooseworx mentions that the reason for this was because she thinks that it would be funny if Evil Gangle was forgotten.[1] According to Gooseworx, if Evil Gangle were to ever appear, she would have a white ribbon and a red mask.[2] During the baseball game, Pomni is seen wearing a baseball cap as opposed to her usual jester cap, during which she is seen with a full head of short-cut hair as opposed to the few individual strands she is usually seen with. In the Russian dub of the show, Disappearing Guy is voiced by Jax's Dutch voice actor, Adam Argam.[3] This episode canonically confirms Pomni's 25. Caine and Bubble talking to the camera breaks the fourth wall. During the scene that results in Jax being put in a maid outfit, many believe it was Gangle’s idea when she was only responsible of setting up the vote. The original idea was from Zooble as we can see them whispering something into her ear causing Gangle to laugh and put up the vote. In Russian dub, instead of saying that he's in a maid outfit, Jax says that he is a femboy rabbit.[4] The events in the episode are based on the characters' suggestions they've posted within the suggestion box, with Kinger and Pomni being the only ones who don't have a suggestion. Poacher's Paradise is Jax's suggestion to hunt everyone down as animals. President Pomni is Jax's suggestion to test Pomni's leadership skills. (アメイジング デジタルサーカス高校)/The Amazing Digital Circus High School is Gangle's suggestion to relish her manga artwork. It's left unknown as to who suggested the Stargazing adventure. Intermission Time is Caine's interruption when he realises the circus members are enjoying the suggestions more than his adventures. The Bar Scene is Zooble's suggestion since it likes making drinks from it's previous life as a temporary bartender. Good Ol' Fashioned Softball is Ragatha's suggestion to have a good time. It was revealed to be her suggestion in the next episode, They All Get Guns, and although they enjoyed it, Pomni reveals that she isn't too interested in sports. During this episode, it is implied by Jax that McDonalds is canon in the real world, as Jax uses its name to refer to Spudsy's. All the votes that were agreed on both had to do with being against Jax. Continuity There are several callbacks to previous episodes/adventures during Gangle and Zooble's Suggestions [arranged in Episodic Order]: "...Uh, hey, Pomni! Remember when Kaufmo smashed me against the walls and I got all jumbled up?" - Pilot "You threw me out of a moving truck." - Candy Carrier Chaos! Caine looks at sketches of bees while interacting with Zooble, similar to The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor. Pomni asking the group if any of them know about Kinger's wife is a callback to Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor. After hitting a homerun offscreen, Gangle thanks Ragatha for her baseball lesson seen in the opening of Fast Food Masquerade. "Ooh! Remember when you got high at McDonald's (Spudsy's) and told Gangle to kill herself?" - Fast Food Masquerade Pomni's "I see" is reused from POMNI WAKE UP TIME TO GO ON AN ADVENTURE. Jeffery[5] makes his first canon appearance during the intermission. Media References This episode has the most references to pop culture and social media.
When the Circus Members leave their first adventure, Caine calls them "candy hearts and paper flowers", a reference to a song of that title from Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure (1977). Caine's adventure ideas consist of references to various media. Caine's idea for a magic chocolate factory adventure is a reference to Roald Dahl's 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its 1971 film adaptation Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Caine's idea for a sentient cardiovascular system adventure is a reference to Konami's 1987 arcade game Contra and Gooseworx's original character General Nausea. Caine's idea for a post-apocalyptic wasteland with a telepathic talking dog is a reference to Harlan Ellison's 1969 short story, A Boy and His Dog. During the President Pomni adventure, Jax's quip about finding Kinger underneath Pomni's desk alludes to the 1995–1997 Clinton–Lewinsky scandal, when 42nd US President Bill Clinton cheated on his wife Hillary Clinton by instigating an 18-month-long sexual affair with an intern, Monica Lewinksy. In the Spanish dub, when Jax enters on the president's office with the bomb, he says that the explosion will cause a snowfall from the sky that will kill people. This is a reference to the Argentine science fiction comic El Eternauta ("The Eternaut", 1957–1959) that recently got adapted on a television miniseries released in April 2025 on Netflix. In the German dub of the President Pomni scene, the fictitious war between Australia and New Zealand was changed to be a fictitious war between Austria and Switzerland. When Jax enters the office with the bomb he announces himself to be a Swiss terrorist—speaking in a heavy Swiss-German dialect—and proclaiming that the bomb he has on him would spread chocolate and cheese (both Swiss specialities) all over the world. Jax does not break from his dialect during this sequence, even when out of character. Gangle later enters the scene as an Austrian terrorist. The School's exterior could be a reference to Azumanga Daioh (あずまんが大王, 1999–2002), which was Gangle's favorite anime. Pomni’s hairstyle and appearance in the anime strongly resemble Kasuga Ayumu, aka Osaka, from that anime. The opening titles of the anime, which show the title in kana over a pan across the school, very strongly resemble the opening of Tokimeki Memorial: Forever With You, the game that created the standard gameplay structure for dating simulators. The high color contrast animation style of the Intermission is a reference to the 2015 film The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, namely the scene that accompanied the hip-hop song "Squeeze Me" by N.E.R.D. In the Russian dub, Jax's phrase in the bar "Ёлки Иголки" (Yolki Igolki, "Spruces and Needles") is a reference to the Russian cartoon Смешарики ("Smeshariki", 2003-present), as a catchphrase of the rabbit protagonist Крош (Krosh). The McDonald's fast food franchise is acknowledged as the inspiration for Spudsy's by Jax. The video sharing platform YouTube and the genre of urban exploration content is acknowledged by Pomni and Jax. When asked about his backstory, Jax makes one up, instead alluding to American television show Breaking Bad (2008–2013). This is the real-life show that he and Zooble were referring to. Content from Gooseworx's social media about Jax was canonized. Jax is revealed to have kalampokiphobia (a fear of corn), which is a reference to a tweet from November 1, 2023. When Jax sees the corn after finishing talking to Pomni, he reacts like a cat scared of a cucumber. Jax being forced to wear a maid outfit is a reference to a Tumblr post from October 30, 2023. The meme of drawing male characters crossdressing in maid outfits was popularized by the Animal Crossing community with Raymond. In some dubs, the disappearing guy sings something different instead of the American National Anthem ("The Star-Spangled Banner"). In the Dutch, German, Filipino, Russian, and Indonesian dubs, the disappearing guy sings the National Anthems of the Netherlands ("Het Wilhelmus"), Germany ("Das Lied der Deutschen"), the Philippines ("Lupang Hinirang"), Russia, and Indonesia ("Indonesia Raya") in the respective dubs instead. In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, instead of briefly singing the United States' national anthem, Disappearing Guy sings Chitãozinho & Xororó's "Evidências" while the Ukrainian Dub attempted to sing "Chervona Ruta" which was written by Volodymyr Ivasiuk. Gummigoo's advertizement during the Good Ol' Fashioned Softball, Gatergoo, is a parody of the actual sports drink Gatorade. One of Evil Ragatha's poses while harassing Ragatha is a reference to DIO's "WRYYY" pose from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Bazooble's name, nonsensical talking when introducing themselves, and the poses they make during said intro are based on the character Bazooey from the obscure 1974 animated Christmas special The Gift of Winter.[6] In the Russian dub, Bazooble's nonsense talking is replaced with the lyrics to Skibidi Toilet: "Я Базубл! Скибиди боп бап дап дап ес ес." (Ya Bazubl! — "I'm Bazooble" — Skibidi bop bap dap dap yes yes.). In the Polish dub, there is also a reference to the same meme, as Bazooble says "Skibidibi-daboodi-dop" after introducing themselves. Evil Ragatha's melting upon defeat is a reference to L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its 1939 film adaptation The Wizard of Oz. Jax's reaction to him being in a maid dress, is a reference to one of the Sister Location shorts in ZAMination's Fazbear & Friends, where Funtime Foxy fuzed his friends into Ennard, and they yelled "what the heck?!" While jumping a little. Errors The straps in Ragatha's dress almost clips through her arms in one scene. At 3:26, while Jax is aiming at Gangle with his gun, she is facing towards Jax's left. But when he shoots her, she is suddenly facing towards his right. At 3:34, when Jax throws his Gun, it's nowhere to be seen after it's thrown. At 3:38, when Jax is eating Gangle he is turned backwards from Zooble, however when Zooble calls a vote he is turned around. At 3:35, Zooble is missing from the background. At 3:44, Zooble is on the left side of the walkway, however at 3:53 Zooble is on the right side of the walkway. At 4:19 Kinger is right next to Pomni, but however at 4:20 he appears to far away from Pomni's chair. At 9:18, the Ferris Wheel is missing from the background. At 11:54, when Jax is anxious that he is vegan for the rest of the adventure, everyone else disagreed with his vote to turn Zooble into a slug and says "No hate it", a dead pixel appears in one of the frames. Further, when Ragatha asks "Was that a reference to something?" A small white 8 appears in the left hand corner At 12:38, when Jax is surprised Pomni worked for a supermarket, Pomni's eye snaps to a default pose and her model is not animated for the entire two-second shot. Genus, who was tasked with animating the shot, stated he forgot to animate Pomni because he had her hidden while animating Jax.[7] Around 16:00, when Jax refers to the events of Fast Food Masquerade, Pomni doesn't look at Jax and Ragatha. At 16:14, Pomni has her right hand on her cheek and her elbow on the counter. But in the next scene, they're not. At 18:50, when the vote caller display for turning Jax into a maid shows, Jax's eyes don't appear to look in the direction of the avatar pictures appearing on the vote display. The original storyboards have the avatars appear left-to-right, but this was likely changed after the 3D animation was finished.[8] At 19:27, when Jax snatches the bat from Kinger, his left hand is still on the bat, but disappears in the next shot when Bazooble says "Lets see what your maid of". At 21:06, there's a baseball bat and a ball on the left hand side of Ragatha. If one watches closely at 21:25, the same items teleport to the right side of the ragdoll. At 21:53, when Ragatha turns away while apologizing to Jax, the right half of her hair flickers as it aliases through her head. At 22:19, when Gangle is thanking Ragatha, Pomni and Jax are missing from the seats. Further at 22:42, when Kinger says "All right, Pomni, you're up", Pomni walks from the righthand stairs to the dugout, the opposite side of Ragatha from where she was sitting. At 22:08, when Jax says "I'm in a maid outfit, what do you think", Pomni is looking at Jax's ears rather than his face. When Caine says "I'm bored, let's go to the next adventure!" the rest of the gang are not animated. When Pomni says "You stay out of this" to Jax, Ragatha is missing from the background. In the Russian dub of the episode, most of the swear-censoring noises aren't properly synced up with the Censorbarboing graphic. At 24:07, Pomni is not looking at Zooble, instead she is looking in the distance

They All Get Guns
Episode 6
Transcript They All Get Guns is the sixth episode of The Amazing Digital Circus.
Synopsis In this episode: gun.
Plot The episode opens by promoting the awards show that TheWackyWatch.com had been advertising for a week before the trailer dropped. Jax and Pomni are walking when they spot Zooble hiding in a broken flower pot, suspended by a rope on a nail against a blue wall after one of their arms fell off. Zooble asks Pomni and Jax to toss the arm back, and snaps at Jax to be quiet when he jokes about their "make good use of your parts" gimmick. Pomni asks why Zooble is up there. Zooble says they are hiding from Caine because they refuse to join his newest adventure. Pomni asks why they did not hide in their room, and Zooble explains that Caine has been checking on their room lately, and that whenever no one answers he starts singing "Daisy Bell" outside the door, which creeps them out. Jax then signals for Caine to check it out, which enrages Zooble. Caine appears almost instantly, with Jax pointing out Zooble so Caine will not need to snap his fingers. Caine snaps anyway, shattering the flower pot and letting Zooble fall. He tells the three that he needs an even number of members because the next event is a "Team Adventure" and that everyone must be onstage in exactly 5.7 minutes. After Caine leaves, Zooble grumbles to Jax that he never even asked Caine about the singing, while Jax pretends not to remember.
When everyone gathers, Caine explains that the adventure will be short because of the upcoming "Favourite Character Award," but he sees that as a chance to stage his own Caine Leagues, a sports show for circus members to show their strength. He says he was inspired by their previous softball match and promises "cool new sports" invented by him. Bubble, filming with an oversized camera that squishes his head, pleads for the ringmaster to help. Ragatha suggests they could just play softball properly this time, but Pomni wearily refuses. Caine adds that the Caine Leagues will include otherworldly events like "The 400 Meter Vertical Skedaddle," "Bisection Boogie Eggball," "Lateral Hijinx," "Orange Sport," "Ball Run," "Walk Ball," "Run Walk," and "Ball Ball." Zooble interrupts, insisting they will not be teamed with Jax. Caine, annoyed, does not know what Zooble wants. Zooble points out the suggestion box, and Pomni backs Zooble by saying she prefers calm, relaxed adventures. Ragatha approaches Pomni and Zooble, asking if it is true that they do not like her softball idea. Pomni admits she is not a fan of sports, which visibly hurts Ragatha. Caine complains that suggestion-box ideas just create drama, and he does not like that. Then, to everyones shock, Zooble blurts that what they really want is the ability to have sex. Jax reacts with visible surprise, amused that sexual conversations have finally come up. Caine glitches, babbling incoherently as the environment momentarily warps, his head spinning, before he resets, apparently without losing memory. Ashamed, Zooble asks Ragatha if she has any Stupid Sauce left from Fast Food Masquerade.
Caine returns to his point, saying teamwork is essential to making the dream work. Zooble angrily points at Jax, saying Caine should be directing that advice at him because Jax keeps causing trouble. Jax sarcastically tells Zooble they are in a mood today, only for Caine to interrupt with a pun about "assuming" making "an Ass out of U and Ming." Pomni wonders if Caine actually said the word "ass" without censoring when her's got censored, when a mannequin wearing a baseball cap and googly eyes walks in beside Zooble, introducing himself as Ming, offended that assumptions have damaged his reputation. Zooble asks if Caine built a whole person for that one-liner. Setting that aside, Caine notices the tension and decides to run trust exercises, but Zooble still refuses to pair with Jax. Caine creates a private room for "Person A" where no one outside can see or hear, and he supplies a loaded gun. The drill is supposed to have Person A empty the chamber and hand the gun to Person B to prove it is safe. Jax, distracted and not listening, prompts Caine to project the instructions as mental images directly into his head. Caine gives the gun to Jax, but Jax shoots Ragatha instead. Caine, dazed, gives up trying to enforce order and allows chaos, tossing out a pile of assorted guns. Zooble calls the exercise aimless, so Caine reluctantly restores teams. They will pair off in teams of two, each character having three lives, and the last team standing wins. Zooble remains unhappy, but Caine dismisses them, saying he has awards show work to do and gives everyone five minutes to form teams before conjuring a beach chair and lying back to relax.
Jax takes Gangle's hand, but she pulls away, saying she planned to team with Zooble. Jax objects, pointing out they have always paired together on team adventures, but Zooble walks past saying times are changing, and Gangle follows Zooble. Pomni asks Ragatha if she wants to team with her; Ragatha apologetically says she would love to, but she plans to team with Kinger to keep him away from Jax. Pomni offers to take Kinger instead, but then backs off when Ragatha notes she will be paired with Jax. Pomni decides to join Jax to keep an eye on him and asks Ragatha to keep Kinger away. As Pomni heads toward Jax, Ragatha asks her to wait and awkwardly stammers that she will be there if Pomni ever wants to talk or needs help. Pomni gives an awkward thumbs up before leaving. Ragatha jumps when Kinger appears beside her, and Kinger is startled by her reaction.
Pomni approaches Jax and asks if he has a teammate. He smugly asks if she can handle him. Gangle asks Zooble to hold her comedy mask because she "wants to fire a Tommy gun while laughing maniacally" without breaking it. Zooble agrees.
The countdown ends and the match begins. Team Pew Pew (Ragatha and Kinger), Team Unmasked (Gangle and Zooble), and Team Bad Guys (Jax and Pomni) find that the weapons have vanished. Each character receives three red hearts above their head, except Ragatha, who only has two, prompting her to wonder if Jax's earlier shot counted against her. Zooble asks Caine about the missing weapons. Caine replies that the guns were scattered randomly around the Tent and that the teams must search for them.
The royale begins. Gangle and Zooble rush off to find a Tommy gun. Kinger pulls Ragatha along and warns her there is no time for hesitation. Jax, on another path, salutes and declares that murdering them all will be his pleasure, while Pomni nervously wishes them good luck. Jax calls her spirit lame and drags her along. As the three teams scatter, Caine watches from above and stares at photographs, one presumably of the office from The Pilot.
Kinger finds a pistol in the main part of the circus and tells Ragatha that their biggest dangers are Jax and Zooble, the youngest, who still have fighting spirit. Ragatha, upset that she has one fewer life, is distraught. Kinger summons a glowing orange butterfly; when Ragatha touches it, it pops and fully restores her health. She asks Kinger how he did that and wonders if Caine told him a secret about the game. He says he just made it up, which only increases her confusion because it does not explain how he pulled it off.
Jax and Pomni search the living quarters hallway for guns. Jax finds a weapon and asks Pomni who she will kill first, and she says she will let him go first. Jax reflects on how the circus is not even real and how the current game is literally about shooting each other. Pomni protests that they are friends. Jax says becoming part of the circus turns people into cartoon archetypes, and that he believes they are no longer truly human. He maps out archetypes: he is the funny rule-pusher, Ragatha is the cheery one, Gangle the sad one, Kinger the wild one, Zooble the grumpy one, and Pomni has not chosen hers yet. He urges Pomni to commit to an archetype and let loose. She does, managing to shoot a can and enjoying the thrill. Embracing the idea, she declares she will spend the day playing "the evil one" and laughs maniacally, which Jax calls "kinda cringe."
Team Pew Pew sneaks through the circus. Kinger momentarily drops his guard and is sniped. When he recovers, they hide and Kinger warns Ragatha there is a sniper nearby. Zooble is revealed on a balcony as the sniper and tells Gangle they think they hit Kinger. Gangle asks if they are safe up there and ducks as Kinger fires back. Kinger tells Ragatha to roll, poorly demonstrating a tactical roll, while she simply runs after him. Team Bad Guys sets its sights on Team Pew Pew. As Ragatha tells Kinger she does not know how to shoot, Jax shoots her hands off and Pomni shoots as well, leaving Ragatha with two lives. Team Bad Guys splits, Jax going after Ragatha and Pomni after Kinger. Jax ambushes Ragatha, who fires a random gun that reveals a "BOOM" flag. Jax flips over her and shoots her head off.
Ragatha respawns with one life and hides behind curtains. Jax follows. Ragatha calls for Kinger to summon another butterfly but is confronted by Jax and becomes frightened. She accuses him of trying to manipulate and "corrupt" Pomni. Jax aims to shoot, but Ragatha blocks the barrel with her finger. The gun backfires spectacularly and he loses a life. He pulls another weapon and mercilessly finishes Ragatha, panting and thinking about her accusation. After losing, Ragatha is teleported to the "Loser Corner," a dark room lit by a large fish tank.
Pomni finds Jax and tells him she reduced Kinger to one life; Jax replies that he got Ragatha but she cost him a life. Pomni asks how he allowed that, and he simply says he does not know. Meanwhile, Team Unmasked, hiding in another part of the circus, find a weapon for Gangle in case they miss the Tommy gun. Gangle worries Jax will be angry and seek revenge if she does not join him, while Zooble reminds her this is a game and that Gangle is a person, not Jax's toy. Gangle wonders how one can like a masked part of themselves when it makes them worse. Zooble explains that the mask represents a real part of her, but the thing Gangle should care about is the real Gangle. Zooble reaches out and tells Gangle to choose to love herself, even if it does not make sense. Tentatively, Gangle asks if Zooble ever had to make that choice, which makes Zooble hesitate. Gangle then takes Zooble's hand. Zooble promises support, and Gangle, encouraged, suggests killing Pomni and Jax.
While Jax and Pomni patrol, Pomni asks why Jax fears corn. He says the pods look like egg sacks and make his skin crawl. Pomni asks if he has trypophobia and what he thinks of pomegranates, which makes him shiver. As Pomni learns more about him, Jax changes the subject, reminding her they are still hunting Kinger. They nearly pass him hiding in a doorway; Kinger pathetically admits he is behind them. The pair fire at him in the dark. In the Chaos, Jax accidentally shoots Pomni, costing her a life. Kinger uses a "Ricochet Super Move" that bounces shots around the room, but when Jax turns on the light it becomes clear the move only hit Kinger himself. Despite that, Jax and Pomni count it as a victory. One team remains.
After losing, Kinger teleports to the "Loser Corner," pleased with the game and impressed by Pomni's shooting. He sits with a somber Ragatha and offers comfort, but she does not respond. Kinger asks if she is sad about losing or something else, and Ragatha reveals she fears she failed Pomni, just as she thinks she failed Jax. She worries she tried to be there for everyone but pushed them away, convinced Jax hates her, that Gangle and Zooble never speak to her, and that Pomni will soon as well. She blames herself for declining Pomni's offer to team up. Kinger suggests she might need a break, that she has put too much pressure on herself. He asks why she feels she failed Pomni, and Ragatha, tearful, says she feels she and Pomni are drifting apart, with Pomni no longer trusting her. She worries Pomni will become someone who does not want her around.
Kinger tells Ragatha relationships are two sided, and sometimes one cannot do all the heavy lifting when the other is not ready. People handle things in different ways, and sometimes giving space is the kindest choice, as long as she remains available when needed. Ragatha admits she only wants to make people happy and fears being hated. Kinger asks if she hates herself and admits he used to hate himself for things he believed he caused. He says Ragatha changed his outlook and that there are ways to care for others without destroying oneself. He urges her to watch out for herself too. Ragatha feels slightly better and marvels at how Kinger sometimes makes no sense yet occasionally says exactly the right thing. She asks how he manages to stay around so long. Kinger chuckles that he has a resilient mind. They then notice Bubble filming them who praises the scene, saying the committee will love it before moving on, leaving the two alone.
Meanwhile, Team Unmasked, each down to one life, are chased through pipes by Team Bad Guys. They hide around a corner and Zooble complains their gun is empty. Gangle spots her long awaited Tommy gun. Jax is out of ammo and Pomni has a single sniper bullet. Gangle, wearing her comedy mask, finally gets her chance to run and fire a Tommy gun while laughing maniacally. She shoots as Pomni and Jax dodge and Zooble silently cheers. Gangle fires around a pipe and collapses it. While they recover, Pomni finds a sniper rifle and uses her single bullet to shoot Gangle in the forehead as she aims, shattering the mask and revealing her satisfied smile before she vanishes to the "Loser Corner." Irritated, Zooble locks themself in their room. Zooble rigs up limbs from their box and arms themselves, and Jax and Pomni try to flush them out by singing "Daisy Bell," which only angers Zooble more.
Jax eventually opens the door with a key he had, but is hit by a flashbang; he and Pomni are incapacitated. Zooble storms out with four guns on their four hands, gunning down Jax and Pomni and making a run for it, leaving Team Bad Guys with only one life each. Pomni chases them; Jax tells her to wait until he recovers, but she insists she can handle it. While recovering, Jax notices doors labeled for a Mannequin, then Kaufmo, and then stares at Ribbit's before pursuing Pomni after Zooble. On a balcony, Pomni takes out each of Zooble's weapons with superb aim, then Jax shoots Zooble in the back causing them to fall. Team Bad Guys stand over Zooble, who accepts defeat. Zooble flips them off with a quartet of censored "birds" before being shot. In the "Loser Corner," Zooble finds everyone participating in one of Gangle's favorite hobbies, dressing in mori cat ears and tail, which confuses them.
Celebrating their win, Pomni hugs Jax but he pushes her away. After some awkward compliments, Pomni jokingly aims her gun at Jax, asking if one of them will betray the other. Jax throws his gun aside and insists she can shoot him, claiming they were never a team and never friends, though Pomni knows the statement is not true. When Pomni asks if this is why he did not attend Kaufmo's funeral, Jax replies that he does not attend funerals of the abstracted. Pomni sees this as proof that he is scared of showing a human emotion then when she points out the possibility that how Jax deals with everything might play a part in causing someone to abstract. This sets Jax off, who angrily responds by asking her if she's going to blame him for something everybody else did. As Jax continues to explode with rage, he points out that Pomni didn't even know Kaufmo and further explains that before somebody abstracts, they become very unpleasant to be around. Realizing how angry he's getting, Jax cuts himself off and quickly reverts back to his normal smiley persona. Pomni apologizes, and Jax changes the subject by asking her to shoot him, but Pomni asks him what he'd do if she abstracted tomorrow. Jax quietly replies that he'd move on and probably forget about her. Pomni understands, and turns her back to him, still clutching her gun, shaking, while Jax tells her she can't take a joke.
Pomni throws her gun at Jax, telling him that he is not the funny one before fighting him by strangling him, throwing random stuff at him, biting his leg, jumping on his back, and finally pounding him on the head, all the while demanding him to fight back. Furiously, Jax throws her to the ground, and when she asks him why he didn't fight back, he rages by telling her that she thinks he is misunderstood when he isn't. With Jax's emotional scaring on display, he declares that he doesn't care about her or anyone else in the circus, seeing them as nothing but playthings, taking joy in their suffering, and causing them pain for fun. If he led Pomni on, it was just to make this part hurt her more. He then turns, swears twice, and kicks a Rubik's Cube out of rage, panting. Before leaving, he turns to Pomni and with a desolate expression on his face, claims that there's nothing more to him and advises her to just stop looking.
At the "Favorite Character Award," Pomni and Jax walk through the theater hallways in low spirits. Pomni bumps into Ragatha and they exchange words, with Pomni suggesting Ragatha wait until after the show. The brief exchange causes both of them to smile and marks the beginning of a mending in their relationship. They enter the theater and sit together a seat away from Kinger, with Gangle and Zooble a row behind. Gangle and Zooble glance at Ragatha with acknowledgement as she and Pomni take their seats. Jax sits alone at the back. Caine opens the show, thanking the committee for examining nominees and voting. The committee mannequins cheer, embarrassing Caine until he tells them to shut up. Watching the show, Jax feels guilty for what he said to Pomni and rushes to the bathroom where he has a panic attack by the sink before calming down. He sees himself in the mirror and tells himself he looks stupid, only to be distracted by a flushing toilet as Disappearing Guy steps out of a stall, apologizes with a "So-" and vanishes.
Back at the show, Caine awards Zooble the "Biggest Sailor Mouth Award," but Zooble is too drunk on Stupid Sauce that Ragatha gave them to comprehend it. Pomni, who had seen Jax leave earlier, notices him return with his usual smile. She looks at Ragatha and gives a small shake of the head and a smile. Then the "Favorite Character Award" arrives. Caine misreads it as "Me!" and celebrates until he realizes the winner is actually Ming. Ming gently reproves Caine for assuming he won, pointing out how foolish both appeared.
After the credits, with the theater empty, Caine checks the ballot box backstage to see how many votes he received. When he discovers he received zero votes, he looks disturbed and briefly glitches.

Trivia This episode is the first one where Pomni is smiling in the thumbnail. This episode is the first episode to have a runtime of over 30+ minutes. This makes it the longest Digital Circus episode yet, with a runtime of 33:54. It likely won't keep that record, though.[1] This is the first episode to depict Jax with his tail. This marks the first episode where Jax swear. Jax was originally not going to swear,[2] but Gooseworx added it in after someone asked her on Tumblr why Jax never swore.[3] Most fans and viewers think Caine swore when he made a pun about "assuming", saying it makes "an Ass out of U and Ming", yet the reason why "ass" is uncensored here is due to him using the word's original meaning to describe a "silly, stupid, or stubborn person". When Pomni was using the word "ass", it was rightfully censored because she thought in her mind Caine was referring to the modern swear word. This is the first episode to have a post-credits scene. This episode received around 2 million views just two hours after the premiere. Later, it received 6.2 million views in 4 hours. After 24 hours, it reached almost 23 million views. After 48 it was 31, and after 100 it reached 43 million. As of its release, this episode had the shortest waiting period: a 56 day gap between Episode 5 and Episode 6. This episode's thumbnail is (as of August 15th, 2025) one of the two thumbnails where the Digital Circus logo is in the bottom left corner, the other being of the Pilot. It also is the only other thumbnail aside from the pilot to have a pose from the actual episode being used for the thumbnail. Two Tumblr Q&As teased lines from this episode: On November 8th, 2024, after being asked for a random line from Jax in this episode, Gooseworx said the line "That's... kinda cringe...". On December 26th, 2024, after being asked for a random line from this episode, Gooseworx said the line "You made a whole guy for that?", which we now found out was Zooble in reaction to Ming. The TELEVISION logo on Bubble's camera is the same font of PUZZLEVISION on Mr. Puzzle's TV head and branding from SMG4 (not to be confused by the Glitch channel of the same name) Caine's singing Daisy Bell is a reference to how it was the first song sung by a computer speech synthesizer, IBM 7094, in 1961. The song was also sung by HAL 9000, the antagonistic AI in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. In the Indonesian and Vietnamese dubs, Daisy Bell is not dubbed over. In the French and Portuguese dubs, the song is performed in English by the actors. In the Dutch dub, an official translation of Daisy Bell from 1934 was used, albeit slightly tweaked. In the Arabic dub, there are some changes to Daisy Bell. The number 57, which has been present in every episode of the series up to this point, has multiple revelances involved during this episode. Caine tells the circus members to wait for 5.7 minutes until the new adventure begins. The first gun found in the battle royale is a Ruger-57. Zooble's flashbangs have a batch number of 57. Jax and Pomni starts to sing "Daisy Bell" at 22:57. In Zooble's room, three dice depicts the number 57 as one dice depicts the number 5, and the other two dice are stacked on top of each other, one depicting 6, and the other depicting 1, forming a 7, which makes 57. In the English and Indonesian dubs, Zooble is censored when saying the word "sex". Most other languages do not have this censorship. The uncensored English version was released as the English (GB) audio track. Gooseworx confirmed that this was because of YouTube's censorship policy.[4] Additionally, in those dubs "sex" is not censored by a cartoon sound effect and overlay, but by a censor bleep, similar to when Bubble said some heinous thing in Episode 2. Bubble was not censored when he said "sex" in Episode 5 due to YouTube's new censorship policy not being in place at the time. Consistent with their "brainrot burger" translation for the Stupid Burger in Episode 4, the Dutch dub has Zooble refer to the Stupid Sauce as Breinrotsaus, lit. "brainrot sauce", in this episode. Almost all of the guns featured in the episode are real-world firearms produced by various companies: The pistol used by Kinger and Zooble is a Canik TP9, however the Dutch, German, Russian and Ukrainian dubs refer to the pistol as a Ruger-57; Jax, Pomni, and Kinger use a Smith & Wesson Model 500 at various points; Notably, at 8:58 the words "Smith & Wesson" on the barrel are replaced with "Caine & Abel"; Zooble snipes Kinger using a Desert Tech Hard Target Interdiction with a left-handed bolt; Ragatha uses a Remington Model 95 Derringer; Jax kills Ragatha first with a Magnum Research BFR, then switches to a Chiappa Rhino; Gangle uses a Smith & Wesson Model 629 before recovering a Colt Model 1921A Thompson, though she is also offered an AK-74 by Zooble; During her last stand, Zooble utilizes an AK-74, a 1921A Thompson, an Uzi 9mm, and an M16A1; Although the appearance of the guns is realistic, the sounds made by the guns are not, and during the fight in the dark the muzzle flashes are unnaturally long. Apple43 Airsoft created an alternate version of the shooting scenes in which the gun reports and flashes are also realistic. Kinger's holding and handling of his pistol reflect an experienced real-world shooter. On several occasions, the guns characters are holding disappear and reappear or switch. Rather than an animation error, this likely reflects the logic of FPS video games in which characters can carry any number of guns and instantly switch between them without any of them being visible on their models. In the Portuguese dub, Jax says "Ha! Não se mistura com a gentalha." referencing one of Florinda Meza's catchphrases against Don Ramón in El Chavo. Caine holds a photo of the offices from THE AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS: PILOT. Jax is "breaking the fourth wall" by hinting they're all cartoon characters. It is hinted that Pomni might have been in the circus for weeks. ("You wanna finally work off those weeks of rage and anguish that have been buildin' up inside you?") Jax said he was the funny one in this episode even though Kaufmo was an actual clown who told jokes. This is likely a nod to how Kaufmo was removed from the main cast after Jax was developed.[5] Pomni's expressions heavily resemble those of Evil Pomni (who, after all, is her evil clone.) Jax reveals the reason why he's afraid of corn in the episode is because he suffers from trypophobia, the fear of clusters of holes or patterns. This explains why he hates Orbsman. Jax is also particularly grossed out by pomegranates. In the Spanish dub, Zooble says "Hasta la vista, baby." when flipping off Jax and Pomni, referencing Terminator 2. During the game, Team Pew Pew were the first to lose, then Team Unmasked that led to Team Bad Guys winning. Ragatha was shot first by Jax before the game starts. Kinger restores Ragatha's life before being shot by Pomni, then was shot again by Jax, before being defeated by Jax. Kinger was sniped by Zooble, was shot offscreen by Pomni, and was defeated by shooting himself during his "Ricochet Super Move" when fighting Jax and Pomni in a dark room. Gangle was shot twice offscreen, and was defeated by Pomni. Zooble was shot twice offscreen, and was defeated by both Jax and Pomni. Pomni was shot in friendly fire by Jax when fighting Kinger in a dark room, was later shot by Zooble in a rage. Jax shot himself when Ragatha put her finger in the barrel of his gun, was later shot by Zooble in a rage. Despite not liking being touched by other people according to Gooseworx, Pomni openly hugs Jax before their fight at the end of the episode. This is also the first time Pomni hugs anyone else in the show as the most she's done before this was hold Kinger's hand for an extended period of time in The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor. Jax's face when he screams "STOP!" at Pomni to stop attacking him after throwing her off his back is the exact same face shown in the sketches of him made by Gooseworx.[6] Despite Ming winning in the show, in the real life Favorite Character/popularity poll done on TheWackyWatch.com, Jax won by 6 votes, narrowly beating Pomni. And Team Bad Guys, despite beating Team Unmasked as their last opponent in the show, also won the poll by narrowly beating Team Pew Pew. Gooseworx later admitted on stream that the real life poll was organised long after the script was written, and was rigged on the server to make Caine lose. In the post-credits scene, the ballot shows that Kinger had the most votes with a total of 11, meaning he was the actual winner of the Favorite Character award. He was followed by Pomni with 9, with Ragatha and Jax sharing 4, Gangle with 3, and lastly Caine with 0, who proceeded to glitch out upon this discovery. Zooble and Bubble are the only main characters not shown as nominees. His eyes changing to red and blue when Caine glitches out may be a reference to I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream's 1980s cover of the Video Game, as a subtle nod to Caine being inspired by AM. In the storyboard for that scene, Caine was supposed to glitch out even more than the final version, where part of his teeth even turn into a black glitched part, similar to abstraction. Jax is shown bouncing his foot and stomping before going into the bathroom where he has his panic attack. In real life, rabbits thump their feet to express fear, annoyance, and nervousness. When Jax almost abstracts, the words "Chill Fella" appears among many smudges on the bathroom mirror. Pomni chomping Jax's leg is a call-back for his cannibalism in Untitled. Bubble speaking to Ragatha and Kinger after their talk in the Losers Corner marks the first time in the series that he talks to anyone directly other than Caine, though as of this episode, nobody has spoken to Bubble besides Caine. This episode is so far the only episode where Jax opens his mouth the most; with him opening his mouth five times throughout the episode. The previous amount of times was twice in Untitled when he laughed at Zooble during their bar adventure and when he was mauling Evil Jax. In The Russian Dub, at 23:40, The Ahh Sound Effect plays that they use on Youtube Errors In the scene before Caine summons the Private Room, Zooble is looking at him, but in the next scene, they're in a different position and not looking at Caine. Also the Private Room is summoned, everyone is turned to Caine, but when the Private Room is summoned they are all turned around. Also, at 3:14, Pomni, Ragatha, and Kinger are missing In the scene where after Ragatha tells Pomni that she has to stay with Kinger so he doesn't get paired with Jax, she just stands in a normal pose instead of what she was in before. She's also in a different pose in the next scene. When Pomni says "They're going to face the wrath", her hands are empty; the gun seemed to have vanished. As she continued her sentence ("of Pomni the Evil"), her gun reappeared in her hands. At 16:17, Pomni's eyebrows disappear. Around 9:39 and 9:45, Pomni's head and expression is the same instead of being like the scenes beforehand. At 10:18, Pomni doesn't turn to look at Jax, but she is in the next scene. At 10:37, Pomni is standing, but in the next scene, she's in a different pose. From 18:40 to 18:50, Ragatha talks about how she's been trying too hard to get closer to people and end up pushing them away, her head is up and her eye looks up, but in the next scene, it's in a different position. In the scene where Kinger explains that he hated himself once around 20:31, Ragatha is in a different position than she was in the previous scene. Around 22:26, Jax faceplants into the middle of the corridor. Five seconds later when Pomni is loading the sniper rifle, he has moved sidewards onto the colored railings. Around 25:55, when Pomni tells Jax that they were bonding, she's in a different pose. But around 26:00, she's in the same pose before the aforementioned scene. At 26:20, When Jax tells Pomni to shoot him, he holds her right arm, but in the next 2 scenes, his hands are missing. At 29:59, Pomni's blush is missing from her cheeks. In the scene after Caine announces Zooble as the winner for Biggest Sailor Mouth, Kinger, Ragatha and Pomni are missing from their seats. At 31:04, when members of the Committee are thanking Caine, Kinger is missing from his seat. Further at 32:10, when Caine is about to announce the winner of the Favorite Character Award, Kinger is missing. When Pomni says "Did Caine just say Censorbarboing?" the left side of her Jester's hat is only blue. While Pomni and Jax are in the corridor of everyone's rooms, they slightly change positions every frame. At 0:59, Pomni and Jax are standing towards Zooble up in the flower pot, but later at 1:05 they change positions. Between 1:57 and 5:06, Pomni, Jax, Ragatha, Gangle, Zooble, and Kinger keep slightly changing positions. When, Zooble falls out of the flower pot, her eye falls on the floor, but a frame later, her eye is inside her socket. At 28:53, when Pomni and Jax are fighting, the Rubik's Cube and the flower pot that Pomni throw at Jax disappear after Jax throws her on the floor. Also, Jax kicks the Rubik's Cube at 29:49, but when Jax throws Pomni on the floor, it is not there. At 25:05, if you look at Jax's right arm, Pomni's gun is clipping and disappearing into his arm. When Zooble says, "Wait that's just it? 'Here's guns and have fun'?" , the rest of the gang (Exect for Ragatha) are not animated. Also, at 5:02, the pile of Guns, Pomni, Jax, Gangle, and Kinger, are missing. At 6:25, if you look at Pomni's bottom yellow button, her arm (between her shoulder, and her hand) is clipping into her button.

Episode 7
Transcript Beach Episode is the seventh episode of The Amazing Digital Circus.
Plot The episode starts with Zooble, who hides from Caine in a toy box. Then Pomni, along with Ragatha and Gangle, finds them and they ask her if the adventure is already over, to which Pomni tells them no and that it hasn't even started yet, Zooble tells Pomni to find her own hiding spot and they try to hide again, but Pomni tells them that the thing is they haven't seen Caine all day and also that Gangle was looking for them, Gangle greets Zooble and sticks their head out of the box. Then Ragatha finds a note from Caine and the group reads that it says: "Hello, my little rubber baby buggy bumpers! Today, I've decided to go to the store to get essential ingredients for my signature milk and cigarette casserole! I hope you can handle yourselves until I get back.", The group sees that Caine is next to them reading the note aloud, Zooble sarcastically says that it was fun while it lasted and Kinger arrives. Ragatha asks what the adventure for that day is, to which Caine says that he didn't prepare any and that they can do whatever they want, which pleases Zooble (who have already rearmed themselves). Caine playfully asks Zooble if they want to ask for suggestions on what to do, to which Zooble says no, but Gangle decides to ask for suggestions and Caine decides to consult "The Chinese room" (which appears as a Chinese door). Caine slides a paper with Chinese writing under the door, and Zooble says they don't see the meaning. Caine tells them he trusts that a Chinese speaker will give him advice, Zooble asks Caine the reason, but Caine tells them to be quiet and that they are making that the joke take longer. Caine receives the papers back and he laughs like a maniac, Zooble asks what it says and Caine that says he doesn't know because he doesn't speak Chinese, which makes Kinger laugh. Then Caine suggests that they go to the Digital Lake, he tells them that those locations are there the whole time and that he doesn't know why they never visit them. Bubble suggests them to throw a beach party and Ragatha likes the idea, Caine tells them that there are several NPCs there that they have never interacted with yet, Zooble asks if the NPCs are dumb, to which Caine says yes and tells them to go have fun before disappearing.
In the Digital Lake, the Sun says that it's a good day and the group finds Caine's magical changing booth on the beach, Zooble asks who wants to try first and Pomni offers herself. Pomni enters the changing booth, the changing booth shakes like crazy and spits Pomni, dressed in a swimsuit. The Sun tells Pomni that she looks mediocre and that if she needs a sunburn, give her a call, Pomni tells the Sun that she doesn't want a sunburn and the Sun tells her that she should have thought of that before she decided she hates her, Ragatha tells Pomni not to interact with the Sun and that she's just like that.
The group puts on swimsuits and starts enjoying their day at the beach. Pomni and Ragatha lie on towels in the shade, Kinger leans back on a palm tree and Gangle starts playing baseball with a watermelon while blindfolded, but Zooble stops her and draws Jax's face on the watermelon (which both of them find funny), Gangle hits the watermelon and breaks it. Then it's shown that Jax is sitting on a lounge chair, alone, while the others are having fun together. Pomni, Ragatha and Kinger are playing catch with the ball in the lake when the ball hits Ragatha and her button eye falls off, so Pomni goes for it.
While diving to find Ragatha's eye, Pomni is interrupted by a poorly-rendered fish, who tells Pomni that if she wants to find his sunken treasure chest, she'll have to do better. After resurfacing to get more air, Pomni returns, where the poorly rendered fish re-emphasizes that Pomni will not be getting the treasure. Pomni remarks how she doubts she even would want the treasure, considering that there's nothing to spend money on. After the poorly rendered fish's brother interjects and states he only tells lies, Pomni points out to the fish a nearby empty treasure chest, the discovery of which sends the first fish into a panic over losing their life savings. Pomni resurfaces, and when Ragatha asks "Did you find it", Pomni explains the chest was already plundered, before realizing she forgot to find the eye, and diving back in.
Zooble splashes Jax with a bucket of water while he relaxes, and when he asks them why, they recounts a few things they could be getting revenge for, such as when Jax ran them over with a steam roller, when he set them on fire, when he mailed them a pipe bomb, and so on. Jax tries to deflect by saying they should be off being miserable about their ability to choose her own body, to which Zooble retorts "Aren't you supposed to be causing trouble for everyone?". They then reflects on how their ability to change is fine - "not needing to commit to one thing all the time" - and that if they have any problems, they can talk about them, with the people they trusts. At that, Jax decides to leave, for anywhere the other "losers won't yap [his] ear off".
Back on the shore, Pomni towels off and is greeted by the Shrimp NPC before being distracted by the sight of Jax walking away, as well as a mannequin peering out from behind a distant rock. Turning back to address the Shrimp, she discovers the Sun has fried them ("You're welcome!"). The mannequin waves Pomni over, and, seeing that Kinger and Ragatha are building a sand castle and Zooble and Gangle are heading back to the water, she decides to head over to them.
In his room, Jax lays down and quietly stairs at the ceiling, before taking one of the photographs from his wall and flipping it over. It shows him with Ribbit and Kaufmo, holding up mugs with whipped topping and smirking for the camera. He turns away from the photograph to look at the corner of his room, which for a moment appears normal, before suddenly revealing an triangular void. This unnerves Jax - his eyes widen and his breath quickens. From around the edges of the triangular void, two green hands appear, and one begins to unsteadily reach towards him with an outstretched finger. Jax reaches out to the finger, his glove dissolving as he extends his arm. There was a flash of light once he'd touched the fingers, and he found himself in his birthday suit, floating within an acid trip-like void, filled with odd, vivid and colourful shapes, with his, Kofmo, and Ribbit's faces attached to them and swirling all around him. Jax felt at peace in this strange world until he was awoken from his abstracting state by knockings at his door. He went over and opened it a crack to find Pomni and Ragatha, accompanied by someone who could help them, revealing the mannequin Pomni had met.
Entering the large room they found a large computer screen with two buttons, the red and the blue. The computer then tells that if they press the red button, the console will close and they will be stuck in the circus forever, whereas the blue button will end the game and disconnect the circus members. Pomni then calls Kinger to see which button to pick, but because of the brightness of the screen, Ragatha warns that he is not in his right mind. Unaware of Kinger as Pomni and Ragatha are, Zooble begins to argue about why he is chosen to press the button since they all just needed to press the blue button. Pomni responds that she is unsure if Abel was telling the truth, and this then led to an argument between her and Zooble. As Pomni and Zooble argued about pressing the button, Jax fell into a panic attack. His old life of a suburban neighborhood and a lonely road at night began to flash rapidly before his eyes. As if not wishing to go back to that old life, he lunges up and presses the red button.
Ragatha is shocked for what he just did, but just as he tries to explain, the computer shuts down and a door opens up to a white screen with celebrational music, as Caine appears to congratulate them for choosing "The Good Ending" by pressing the right button in staying with him in the circus. The circus members are all dumbfounded to realize that this was all an adventure that was cooked up by Caine for a very long time. He then summons Abel and thanked him for playing his part in the adventure. When Abel asks for a raise for playing his part, Caine laughs before deleting him for being too smart for an NPC, causing Abel to drop his locket, which is revealed to have a picture of a hot dog with mustard inside it. Disheartened by the let down of what the circus members learned from Abel being all a lie as part of the adventure, Jax collapses into insane laughter when all this time he had predicted the twist of all this being an adventure by Caine the entire time. Ragatha then asks Caine what would have happened if they had pressed the blue (wrong) button instead, with Caine answering that he didn't put much thought into it since he knew they wouldn't press it, so he left it to Bubble to come up with an idea, who was going to take them to "Shrimp Town".
Jax's insane laughter then gives way to fiery rage, as he slammed his fists on the console, accusing Caine of lying to them about not getting into their heads, and was messing with their minds, with Pomni realizing he could be withholding their real identities. Caine then tried to set the record straight, saying that though he may have added some temporary modifiers to make the adventures more interesting, he strongly adds that if he added any more, it would not end well for the circus members. Kinger suddenly remembered one of his old friends, Scratch, the very first human who abstracted. This caused Caine to panic and assured everyone he only wanted to have fun, but when the circus members are still shocked and outraged by his lies, he offered them a gift basket of soaps and lotions before disappearing from the room. As the basket falls to the ground, Pomni and the others are at a complete lost for words, thinking that there is no true escape.

Trivia A sneak peek of this episode was shown at New York Comic Con on October 9, 2025. (and was later shown online during the GLITCH Direct the following day).[1][2] Caine gives the Chinese room the character 蛋, which means egg. The Chinese room responds with 痛, which means pain. This is the Sun’s first speaking role outside of promotional material. This is the first episode where any of the Abstracted preceding Kaufmo are named in-series: Ribbit and Scratch. Ribbit and Scratch's names are spoken by Ragatha and Kinger respectively. This is the second episode in the series to not include any swearing. The first was Fast Food Masquerade. Coincidently, the later episode was released about one year prior to this one, being only 1 day off. It is revealed that only Pomni and Ragatha know that Kinger can think clearly in the dark. This is currently the only episode where Gangle's comedy mask does not break at any point. Instead, it appears to have already been broken before the start of the episode. Some hints to allude to Caine’s influence over Jax is the fact that: As Jax left the beach, he saw the mannequin but ignored him. Pomni and Ragatha went to his room for the keys with Abel who knew already, though he stated he was watching them so Abel may have known beforehand. He was the one who decided to open the door when everyone else used the keys. His self awareness it was another adventure and literally saying what would happen at the end. Being chosen to eat with Caine. Caine appeared immediately when Jax called him when in episode 1 Pomni called him repeatedly and he didn’t show up until she fell into the void Caine telling Jax about the “macro verse” and being cut off by someone Abel threw Jax first when they were headed to Caine’s office. He was the only one who had flashbacks of the outside world. He was the one who pushed the right button at the end even though he was suffering a panic attack and probably had a different reason for doing that. Even before this other signs of Caine’s influence over Jax could be seen in him making Jax vegan in episode 5 and when he put the information of his made up games in his head instantly on episode 6. Media References The Chinese room is a reference to the Chinese room thought experiment. Like in the episode, the room contains a machine (or NPC) that accepts Chinese characters, and according to an algorithm, responds with other Chinese characters. To an outside observer (Caine), the machine is indistinguishable from a fluent Chinese speaker. The crappy fish are references to Gaither's Pond, a Christian show with horrible CGI animals, such as the main character, who is also a fish. The way Caine turns to Jax when he mentions secret hobbies could be a reference to Smiling Friends, specifically the seventh episode of the first season "Frowning Friends", where Mr. Boss does a similar turn after Pim tells him about Frowning Friends. In the administrator zone, geometry recreating the PlayStation 1 Demo Disk menus and PlayStation 2 start-up screen can be seen. The music when all of the humans walk towards the admin panel is an arrangement of Polovtsian Dances, originally composed by Alexander Borodin for the opera Prince Igor.

What's going to happen to the people in the cellar, like Kaufmo and Ribbit? Ragatha to Abel, "Beach Episode"
Ribbit is a reoccuring cameo and minor character of Glitch Productions' indie animated web series The Amazing Digital Circus, set to be voiced by Skye Redden[4][5]. She was a green frog who was the second to last human to have abstracted, and was presumably very close friends with Jax and Kaufmo.
Appearance Ribbit was a tall anthropomorphic green frog with a cartoonishly lanky build. She had black, pie slice cut eyes (with black eyelids and eyelashes), pink round blush marks, and a light green muzzle on her oval-ish, frog-like shaped head. She had long frog-like three-toed feet, and long frog-like arms. She also had a oval light green muzzle that goes from her chest down to her stomach. In the pictures of her, she's usually seen with a smirk or a smile.
For an accessory, Ribbit wore a simple cartoonish pink bow tie around their neck.
Personality Little is known about Ribbit's personality, but based on Jax's picture in Beach Episode, she had been shown to be rather smug and perhaps mischievous, though this may have simply been a photo pose. They are also shown to be hanging out with Jax and Kaufmo.
After abstracting, Ribbit became extremely hostile. So much so that she had to be put into the cellar with the rest of the abstracted characters, where they presumably remain to this day.
Biography Background Little is known about Ribbit's past life, but she used to be an ordinary human with a different name. At some point in her life, she found and put on a VR Headset attached to a computer and joined the circus, later becoming friends with Jax and Kaufmo. Eventually, Ribbit abstracted and got sent to the cellar along with the other abstracted circus members. It is currently unknown what exactly caused her to abstract, but it can be assumed that she lost grip on reality and became unstable and hostile.
"Untitled" Ribbit was first revealed briefly during the intermission scene when Jax ran and stopped at their door. Ragatha also mentions earlier in the episode that Jax has no more real friends in the circus, alluding to Kaufmo's and Ribbit's abstraction.
"They All Get Guns" Ribbit's door was seen again when Jax, sitting in the hallway of the performer's rooms, looked at Kaufmo's door icon. Afterwards, he looks over at Ribbit's crossed out icon. Spotting it, he gains an unrecognizable look on his face and quickly runs off to reunite with Pomni.
"Beach Episode" Ribbit was seen in a photo with Kaufmo and Jax holding mugs, possibly hot cocoa with whipped cream with marshmallows on top and within the Tent.
When Jax is alone in his bedroom, he hallucinates Ribbit's hands beginning to approach him, coming out of a triangle shaped hole from the wall that previously wasn't there. As Ribbit reaches out to Jax, his gloves fade away and he grabs their hand, causing Jax to get into a fever-like dream as he begins to abstract. Her and Kaufmo's heads are seen during the fever dream, melding into the background.
Ribbit and Kaufmo were later mentioned by Ragatha when her and Pomni were talking to Abel. Later during the scene where the gang is in Caine's office, Jax looks into a globe containing a past adventure, this one being a snowy area, and voices presumably belonging to Ribbit and Jax] can be heard (although muffled). If you edit the music and/or listen really closely, you can hear Ribbit say "Oh well, you said we're both best friends!" Jax replied with "You think I actually care about us!?" "You're lying!" Ribbit said back. "I'M NOT!" Jax yelled back, then the muffled voices end. This suggests that this argument may have, though unknown, caused Ribbit to abstract. [6]
Trivia Ribbit has many similarities with Queenie and Kaufmo, those being; Being one of the few crossed-out performers so far to have a confirmed name, with the others being Queenie, Scratch, and Kaufmo. Kaufmo, Queenie, and Ribbit are the only abstracted performers to have merchandise. Ribbit specifically has a tiny plush to go with the Pomni Suit Jax plush. None of these products are stand alone products; rather, they are extras. Kaufmo and Ribbit are the only abstracted performers to have public concept art. Ribbit, Kaufmo, and Queenie are the only known performers to have relations with the non-abstracted members of the Circus. Ribbit and Kaufmo were close friends with Jax, while Queenie was the wife of Kinger. Ragatha knew Ribbit, having been in the circus before Jax. It's unknown if Gangle or Zooble have met Ribbit. Ribbit's design is possibly based on Pomni's early design, which she would have been a male frog.[7][8] Their current designs also both share blush marks and short eyelashes. Ribbit's door is the only door that cannot be seen in the PILOT. It first appears in Untitled. Jax has three colored chairs in his room; purple, yellow, and green. This further implies the close friendship between him, Kaufmo, and Ribbit. Ribbit is the second human in the show confirmed to use They/Them as pronouns (though they use She/Her as well), the first being Zooble. Among the paintings in Kaufmo's room visible in the PILOT, there's a drawing of what appears to be Kaufmo opening a door to discover an abstracted entity, suggesting that Kaufmo might be the first one to find out that Ribbit abstracted.

General information Location Candy Canyon Kingdom Other Debut "Candy Carrier Chaos!" Accessibility Accessible Where are we? W-What's all this? Gummigoo, "Candy Carrier Chaos!"
The Test Level is an out-of-bounds location far beneath the Candy Canyon Kingdom map. It was discovered by Gummigoo and then Pomni who were transported to that location, after the truck that they were on clipped through a crevice and fell out of bounds.
Appearance The Test Level is a dark, labyrinthine series of largely empty, minimalist rooms and corridors with massive, looming walls with a dark blue, faintly glowing grid pattern that faintly illuminates the level, and a black-and-blue checkerboard floor. Embedded in some of the walls are large hemispheres with reflective metallic surfaces (possibly for testing lighting/cube mapping effects).
Surface When Pomni and Gummigoo successfully used one of the trucks on the ground, they entered an atmosphere that can be considered the surface of the outside of the map. The atmosphere has pastel coloring stemming from teal to purple, along with purple dots scattered across the sky. We can also see several giant blue tea kettles floating in the background.
Bottom After falling through the map, Pomni and Gummigoo end up separated from each other, but quickly meet back up in a room filled with copies of various props and objects from the Candy Canyon Kingdom, including a copy of the maple syrup truck as well as plain blue cubes of varying sizes. It also contains a lineup of inert T-posing models of all the NPCs, including Gummigoo, who ends up having an existential crisis from discovering this and his true nature as an NPC.
Trivia A "Test Level", or Developer Level, is a unique level built by game developers for the purpose of testing various aspects of their games, such as physics, animations, AI interactions, special effects, and so on. Although test levels are often left in the game files after launch, they are typically made inaccessible from players, though they can sometimes be accessed either through exploits/glitches in the map (as Pomni and Gummigoo do unintentionally), console commands/cheat codes, or as a behind-the-scenes easter egg intentionally left by the developers. The teapots found in the Surface are Utah teapots, a standardized 3D test model and an in-joke used across multiple 3D software, which in turn modeled after the teapot produced by a German company, Melitta. These teapots may also be a reference to Russell's teapot. One of teapots with same color previously appeared in a series’s pilot during the intro as one of spinning objects. This is the second mysterious incident involving something that the circus members should have not seen, the first instance being the Exit door that led to the void.

The Candy Canyon Kingdom is the main location for the episode "Candy Carrier Chaos!" in The Amazing Digital Circus series. It is the residence of multiple never-seen characters, such as Gummigoo, Princess Loolilalu, and the The Fudge.
Appearance The Candy Canyon Kingdom consists of a pastel color palette. The landforms and clouds of the kingdom are light pink, while the sky contains a blue-to-yellow gradient. Located in the middle of the canyon is a light brown castle, and the kingdom overall is located in a soft pink desert. Surrounding the candy castle is a small village also seemingly made of sweets with a large wall built all around the capital to keep it safe from invaders. The surrounding pink desert also has several giant sweets scattered about to resemble giant rock formations.
Trivia Most aspects of the kingdom, including its buildings, structures, and inhabitants, appear to be made out of candy.
- #43Computer
Keys: Computer
Computer
Type Device The computer is a machine that shows up twice in the PILOT, as well as in a photograph in They All Get Guns.
Description The computer is a vintage computer that runs The Amazing Digital Circus, a program on the computer that the main cast is all trapped in. There is also a headset on the desk where it rests, which is the main way of accessing the Circus. It is implied through the contents of the Exit door that the room that the computer is located in is in an office building known as "C&A".
"PILOT" (Episode 1) appearances In the "PILOT" episode, the computer is first seen turned off in the part where Pomni is running across the office room that the Exit door led to. At the end of the office, Pomni notices it, and after staring at it for a few seconds, she starts manically laughing and runs directly through the nearest exit door. This action suggests that Pomni may recognize the computer setup from somewhere.
It is finally seen for a second time after the camera zooms out past the void showing the actual computer in nearly the same position and room as it was inside the exit door. In this instance the screen is turned on, sunlight is visible from the blinds to the left of the computer, and the room's lights are turned off.
Teaser appearances In the "PILOT" teaser of TheWackyWatch website, the computer is first seen turned off.
However, after the man in a Caine costume twitches the baton, the computer turns on and displays The Amazing Digital Circus' main menu screen.
Trivia The computer that appears inside the exit door is degraded and rusty, while the computer in the real world is not. According to Gooseworx, this is an error, and the computer is supposed to be brand new like the one in the real world.[1]

This is the Void. We don't venture out into the Void. Not even I know what's out there... Caine to Pomni, "PILOT"
The Void is a location in The Amazing Digital Circus.
Appearance The Void is a blueish-white space made of rapidly morphing transparent cubes which encompasses the entirety of the Amazing Digital Circus. It's fundamentally akin to outer space, encircling the Grounds. It seems to be unbounded and extends interminably.
Honest Trailers Commentary | The Transformers: The Movie Play VideoBrand logo
Caine claims to not know what else is present in the void besides The Grounds. Thus, he keeps most of the performers safe in the Grounds and will teleport any performer that somehow find their way into the Void back to The Tent when his Wacky Watch tells him.
It is eventually shown at the very end of the PILOT, that past the void is the old computer along with the Headset the Amazing Digital Circus is being run on.
Trivia Since the camera is shown to be able to move out of the computer by flying past the void, this may suggest that moving past the void may actually allow trapped performers to escape, something that Caine appears to be unaware of. If he is aware of this, Caine may or may not have brought Pomni back to the Tent after she ventured into the Void to stop her from escaping the Digital Circus. It is as yet unclear if Caine is truthful in his statements that he does not know what else is present in the Void.

The Tent is a location in the world of The Amazing Digital Circus. It is one of the 3 locations Caine presented to Pomni, and appears to be a 'hubworld' of sorts. It is the only location presented to Pomni out of the three that we've seen.
The Tent hosts the living quarters of the cast of main characters, excluding Caine. It also hosts a stage where Caine explains the titles and overviews of new adventures, as a sort of 'meeting area.' It is reminiscent of a real-world circus tent, though much, much bigger on the inside. Other noteworthy elements include:
Doors that lead to voids. Doors that open to a boxing glove, which extends and punches whoever opened it. The Gloink Queen's nest. An exit door that leads into a repeating series of rooms, eventually leading to the Void. Barrels of monkeys
The Stage The stage is an area where Caine gathers all of the Circus members to explain what adventure everyone will be having that day. It is also where the Digital Circus' 'theme song' plays. It seems to be in the center of the Tent.

This article is about the location. For other usages of "The Amazing Digital Circus", see The Amazing Digital Circus (disambiguation). You, my friend, stumbled into an incredible world of wonders, where anything can happen! Except for swearing. Caine to Pomni, "PILOT"
The Amazing Digital Circus is a three-dimensional, circus-themed TV show in the TV show that serves as the main setting of its eponymous web series. Its world is run by the wacky ringmaster A.I. named Caine with human minds trapped in the forms of cartoon characters.
Appearance The main hubworld of The Amazing Digital Circus is divided into four locations: the Tent, the Grounds, the Void and the Cellar. In the pilot, Pomni finds a replica of an office outside the animated TV show through an exit door.
Multiple activities and adventures are planned by Caine as entertainment to the inhabitants in order to keep their sanity, although, due to the inhabitants' intense desire to exit the world, they are subject to end up insane and abstracted. Caine has the ability to transport and create gateways to other worlds inside the game, such as the Candy Canyon Kingdom.
The Amazing Digital Circus is installed in a decrepit computer with a headset plugged in.
Trivia The Amazing Digital Circus has a pretty wonky and lazily-made physics engine. For example, in the Pilot, Pomni saw a vase with a blue flower getting bugged out by the collision. The office section leading to the Void is inspired by The Stanley Parable.[1] Combined with the Computer and the Headset, the program itself appears to be vintage, perhaps being a 1990's or 2000's VR game. This game is rated for all ages (confirmed by Caine), so almost all of foul words or gestures get censored with a mark [%$!#]. The inhabitants have their souls trapped, rather than their minds, which has been stated by official descriptions.

The Grounds is a location of The Amazing Digital Circus.
Appearance In the "PILOT" episode of The Amazing Digital Circus, "The Grounds" is a small island where most of the action took place. During the episode when Caine was giving Pomni a tour around the place, Caine described the grounds as an area where most of the activities occur. It's seen that there is a "digital amusement park" which Caine mentions, a "digital water park," and The Tent in which most of the episode takes place. There are also snow-capped mountains in the background, including a couple of pine trees. It also has a day-night split, with The Moon on one side for the night and The Sun on the other for the day.
Trivia The Exit door makes its second appearance on the grounds. It's unknown if there are other activities on the grounds. In the Untitled episode, the adventure Stargazing is set on The Grounds.

The Mildenhall Manor is a location in The Amazing Digital Circus. As the name implies, it is the home of Martha and Baron Mildenhall, as well as a variety of other ghoulish creatures such as the Angel and Ghostly. It is the main setting of The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor.
Appearance On the outside, the manor is a large brick edifice with many windows, eerily surrounded by a black metal gate, dead trees, and gravestones. The fretful atmosphere continues into its interior, which consists of grand, dimly-lit wooden rooms adorned with antiquated furniture.
When the characters first enter the Mildenhall Manor, there is a spacious hallway leading up to an area with a chandelier. This is where Ghostly first appears. This area contains two doors, referred to by Ghostly as "the normal door" and "the really scary door".
Through the “really scary door” is a tunnel with a tongue hanging out of it that leads down into a trophy room. The room features warped, distorted versions of the circus cast's heads mounted on the walls, with The Angel's head mounted over the fireplace.
There is a dumbwaiter in the trophy room that, when entered and lowered, leads down to the cellar. Where the body of Baron Mildenhall lies. Below the cellar is hell, however, it can only be accessed after harming The Angel.
- #49Abstraction
Keys: Abstraction, abstraction
Abstraction
Location The Amazing Digital Circus Uh, it might be that terrible thing I was talking about earlier, when you reach your breaking point? Ragatha, "PILOT"
Abstraction is an irreversible[1] process that humans in The Amazing Digital Circus undergo when their entire psychological state becomes too unstable. Since there is no cure for Abstraction, Caine places any newly abstracted in the Cellar, cut off from the rest of the Digital Circus.
In "Beach Episode", Jax came close to abstracting, before he could go through it, he entered a state of numbness, and went through a seemingly high, floating through psychedelic patterns.
Appearance Once abstracted, the person loses all semblance of their original form, transforming into a massive, black monster consisting of a semi-amorphous mass of jagged, polygonal spikes that rapidly shift and roil about, appearing somewhat iridescent like oil. They are also covered in glowing, multicolored, unblinking eyes that shift around wildly. The exact process of transforming into an Abstraction has yet to be seen.
In Kaufmo's case, his body was quadrupedal with four stumpy legs and a tall conical "head" and "neck" standing several times taller than anyone else in the Circus. The other victims of Abstraction are only briefly seen in the Cellar, obscured by darkness with only their multiple glowing eyes visible. Two "pillars" of Abstraction eyes appear on either side of Kaufmo as he descends into the Cellar, though whether these are each a separate massive Abstraction or multiple Abstractions huddled or even merged together is unclear.
Abilities As an Abstraction, Kaufmo was very strong, fast, and durable, able to pick up and throw Ragatha around without effort, and could sprint along walls while chasing Pomni, before smashing through a wall at full speed, falling several stories down and landing hard on the Circus floor, creating a shallow crater. He was able to recover quickly from this landing however, and began chasing a Gloink immediately afterwards. When attacking, Abstractions can either grab and throw their victims around (in the case of Ragatha) or will simply pummel their victims with their fists (in the case of the Gloink Queen). Anyone who is attacked by an Abstraction ends up glitching (see below).
Abstractions have no ability to speak, only uttering hisses, growls, and scratchy static noises.
Personality Abstractions are mindless, feral, hyper-aggressive beasts that chase down and ruthlessly attack anyone and anything in their way, regardless of if they are a human character or an NPC. It is currently unknown if there remains any memories or consciousness of the victim after transformation. Negative emotions or memories might still remain, as implied by Kaufmo being particularly violent against Ragatha when she mentioned not liking his jokes in her attempts to calm him.
Although those abstracted become vicious and cannot be returned to peace, the darkness seems to bring some stability to them and can even cause them to be aware and less mindless. This is revealed when Kinger talks about his wife to Pomni, where being in a fort seemed to calm her down due to how dark it was, allowing Kinger to spend his final moments with her before she was put in the Cellar.
Jumbling Any person attacked by an abstraction will proceed to jumble[2], where various parts of their body, from individual polygons to entire limbs and heads, will rapidly shift and distort in shape, size, color, visibility, placement, and so on. Their voices are also affected, becoming more distorted and stuttering with scratchy, low-fidelity audio quality. Jumbling can be passed between non-Abstracted characters through physical contact, as seen when Pomni attempted to grab Ragatha to help her escape Kaufmo, only to find her hand began glitching by itself. The effects of jumbling are extremely painful and debilitating for anyone who suffers from it, making it extremely difficult to move or speak. Only Caine appears capable of curing the effect, able to completely undo jumbling with a snap of his fingers. According to Kinger, when the darkness of his pillow fort was able to calm Queenie to an almost tranquil state, he was able to feel her one last time before she was sent to the cellar, implying that jumbling only happens when an abstraction attacks or hurts someone.
Abstracted characters Kaufmo was the most recent character to abstract, following Ribbit.[3] The Mystery Of Mildenhall Manor showed that Kinger's wife Queenie, also went through the process. However, it is presumed that abstraction is what happened to the other characters with crossed-out doors. This is also implied in the second episode, when Kinger, Zooble, and Ragatha told Pomni that they host a funeral every time a human abstracts. In "Beach Episode", it is mentioned by Kinger that "Scratch" was the first character to abstract.
Abstraction Process Abstraction, as defined, is a process which happens when the characters' psychological states becomes too unstable, wether that be through depression, anxiety, etc. It is heavily implied that Gangle almost abstracted during the adventure at Spudsy's. This was caused by her feeling hopeless, regretful and dejected after her erratic handling of her job as shift manager, as well as thoughtless remarks made by her companions in their frustration with her manic, overbearing behavior, as well as her struggle with depression. She evaded abstraction because Pomni offered to close down the restaurant for her and encouraged Gangle to go home and get some rest, reminding her that she is still cared for, which implies that one of the main aspects of the abstraction process is low self-esteem.
During the scene where she almost abstracted amidst her psychological turmoil, she appears to experience dizzyness and a blurry and darkening eyesight. These are heavily implied to be the standard symptoms of abstraction beyond the psychological aspects, which seems confirmed as Jax also experienced them when he was close to abstraction in They All Get Guns. We get a clear view of what people see as they reach the edge of abstraction in Beach Episode. As Jax was alone in his room, he starts to hallucinate Ribbit's hand reaching out to him, and when he touches it, he enters a psychedelic experience, as he approaches some stairs, most likely being the "stairs to abstraction." But before Jax can abstract, he gets interrupted by his doorbell, and it is shown that his eyes were abstracted before returning to normal. This implies that to abstract, the whole experience must go uninterrupted.
Trivia Before Kaufmo's abstraction, Zooble believed Kinger was the most likely to transform next. As a concept, abstraction may have been inspired by the ending of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream (what inspired the whole series), wherein AM transforms Ted into a faceless blob for all eternity, hence the name of the title. The form of abstracted Kaufmo resembles the image of the blob monster from the end of the video game version of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, but spiky instead of smooth. The general form of abstractions also resembles the "Elders of Lost Eyes" from Gooseworx's earlier animations, but Gooseworx has denied that this is intended as a reference, stating that it's just a monster design they like. According to the pilot, Caine can cure jumbling by snapping his fingers, but even he can't cure abstraction. This is because, as stated by him, the minds of humans within the circus are one of the few things that he can't control and abstraction is the result of a human's psychological state collapsing. According to Gooseworx, Caine is able to easily reverse jumbling to himself if that scenario ever happens.[4] According to Gooseworx, abstraction is not contagious, and jumbling doesn't cause someone to abstract.[4] When Gooseworx was asked what it's like to be abstracted and if abstracted people can feel pain, she said it may be explored later in the series.[5] Abstracted Individuals may be calmed by being in the dark. Kaufmo abstracted in his room with the lights off, only starting to lash out once the door was opened. Caine stores those who have abstracted in The Cellar (which is pitch black), where they seem docile. Kinger's abstracted Wife (Queenie) became calm while inside his Pillow Fort, which was dark. The first abstraction to happen was to an individual named Scratch, who Kinger mentions after Caine says that if he did anything further than temporary modifiers (the stupid sauce and Jax's temporary veganism), which makes the latter suspiciously nervous.

Abel is a mannequin NPC who appeared as the main antagonist of The Beach Episode.
Apperance Abel resembles a regular Mannequin, however his defining trait is that he drew a smiley face onto his head.
Personality Abel presents himself to be rather cunning and observant, as shown by the way he knows how the other character act, such as knowing Jax collects keys or Caine commits to the bits he does. He also laments not interacting before and felt genuine sorrow for the people who abstracted so far.
He's shown to be rather anxious, fearing Caine or Kinger messing with his plan to escape, and being desperate to encourage others to believe in him. When Pomni offers to buy him a beer in the real world, he doesn't respond positively, instead only continuing to be adamant on her doing "the right thing." He implies he knows Kinger well, but is aversive about talking to him, implying some bad blood between the two.
However, this whole persona is revealed to be nothing but an act. Abel is revealed to be an NPC working with Caine the whole time, and behaves in a different manor after that is revealed, even going so far as to call his behavior so far a "performance". His real persona shows a much more upbeat and casual tone, and seems amused about the adventure, and even asks Caine for a raise. He is, however, scared of being deleted as he screams beforehand.
Biography Abel was shown throughout the series as a standalone poseable mannequin that stalks the main cast, viewing them from afar within the circus.
He later introduces himself to Pomni and the rest in "Beach Episode", telling them he is a human that was given the appearance of an NPC, and was overlooked by Caine. He claims to know of a way out of the circus without Caine finding out, convincing them to trust him and bringing them to an isolated area to tell them, minus Kinger, of his plan to leave the circus: distract Caine, get into his office and find an Administrator console to turn off the game.
He mentions he knew Kinger in the real world, and they both invented the Digital Circus together at a company labelled “C&A”. However, Abel had noticed his coworkers being put into “stasis pods” and hooked into the Digital Circus. When he confronted the higher ups at C&A about this fact, he was forced into the Digital Circus himself.
Once he tells them of his plan, he introduces himself as his real name; Abel. While Jax distracts Caine, Abel brings Ragatha and Pomni with him to get Administrator access to Caine's office. While on the way, he claims he and Kinger had a falling out of some sort, and despite wanting to work with him again, he cannot do so due to a “promise” he had made.
He laments over a locket with an unseen picture inside, before continuing on. Once inside, Abel grabs enough administrator passes for everyone, except himself. Pomni and Ragatha are adamant on bringing Kinger along with them, but Abel is still against trusting him. Despite this, he agrees to let them bring Kinger along. Once the plan was complete, he helps them all arrive at Caines' office using a collision glitch, leaving himself behind. When Pomni offers to buy him a beer in the real world, Abel only responds by telling her to 'make the right choice'.
The team succeed in invading Caines office, finding the console, but after a heated argument, Jax turns off the console, and Caine appears, revealing the whole situation to just be another "adventure", and that everything, including Abel's story, was just "worldbuilding". To confirm this, Abel spawns in, now acting completely differently and laughing at the success of the Adventure.
However, Caine deletes him, claiming he is becoming "too smart". The locket he held dropped to the floor, revealing to contain nothing more than a picture of a simple hotdog.
Trivia Caine and Abel's names are likely references to the Bible, the two first human siblings named Cain and Abel. Furthermore, Caine deleting Abel could be a reference to when Cain killed Abel. Abel could have been a reference to "Caine and Abel" which was previously thought to be what C&A stood for. This was later implied in They All Get Guns where the smaller pistols had "Caine & Abel" written on them. He carries a locket with seeming emotional value, relating to a "promise" he had made. However, this was part of his false story, and there is nothing more than a picture of a hotdog inside. Despite being an NPC, he knows a lot about the humans, especially about Kinger. Since he is created by Caine, this implies Caine knows more about the humans than he's letting on.
