Pomni's Hand
- How does Pomni’s hand not show glitches and sometimes it does?
- 50% Vague Ominous Foreshadowing, 50% animation error.
- How’s it foreshadowing?

Kinger
- How has Kinger not abstracted yet, especially for so long? Even Zooble is surprised.
- Seeing Kinger's behavior, he definitely has bordered on the “breaking point”, it's just that Kinger is on a completely different stage of it. Somehow, he has gone too insane to go insane.
- It's indicated that more than just going insane is needed to abstract. You also have to "give up," presumably on everything, something Kinger hasn't done.
Existence of the Wacky Watch
- Caine is the Reality Warper of the digital world. A being that powerful will have no problem keeping an eye on everyone and everything, and he did mention his “hundreds of all-seeing eyes.” But, the Wacky Watch is an actual device, on Caine's wrist, and starts alerting Caine whenever someone enters the Void. Why doesn't he just, know? Being the most powerful entity we've seen so far, won't he be able control such activities by having his eye see into them? Or is he just Not So Omniscient After All?
- Probably has something to do with Caine's line about the Void.Caine: Not even I know what's out there.
- I took it as Caine not being as omnipotent as he claims. It seems that he can’t actually keep an eye on the group ALL the time, and occasionally his focus is somewhere else, while the Wacky Watch seems to be his means of being alerted when someone travels too far from the circus. It seems that Caine himself isn’t powerful, but he’s been given tools by his creator to enact some order within the circus.
- He could have also 'switched off' his all seeing eyes to allow them to go at their own pace for the adventure, and to give them a sense of privacy. It's hinted at in two linesCaine: *to Zooble* Don't worry, I'll make it something unobtrusive so you can still choose to not take part.Caine:*after listening to Kinger* Kaufmo Abstracted? Why did no one tell me?
- Probably has something to do with Caine's line about the Void.
Gangle's Mask
- Why is Gangle given a happy mask and wears it over her sad mask?
- Most likely that Gangle may had depression and wears a mask to hide it Stepford Smiler style.
- Why is Gangle even depressed in the first place?
- Literally every character is depressed. Wouldn't anyone be if they were trapped in a technicolor hellscape forever?
- But no one else looks depressed (sans Pomni).
- Depression doesn't solely manifest as being a Nervous Wreck. Jax's cruelty and obvious attempt to feel literally anything as a coping mechanism for his situation is one form; Ragatha's forced optimism is another; Zooble's extreme apathy and emotional withdrawal is another; Kinger is about as anxiety-ridden as Pomni; and of course, there's Kaufmo and the countless other residents who became so depressed they turned into insane, monstrous glitches.
- Most likely that Gangle may had depression and wears a mask to hide it Stepford Smiler style.
When this took place
- While Pomni and many others have gotten to the Circus via headset which was more popular The New '10s-The New '20s, the graphics of this seem to be '90s-'00s CGI (like you see in early VeggieTales media). And headsets existed since the '90s. So did it take place in the '90s? Or is this just '90s like exp.?
