** In this vein, the reason Gaz is so efficient at taking over the world compared to Zim is exactly because Gaz essentially becomes a "proper" Irken in the way Zim was never able to. She lacks his dysfunctional and egotistical personality, as Gaz was already quite misanthropic and no-nonsense to begin with, so, when that's combined with Zim's PAK driving her to take over the world, she essentially becomes a perfectly competent invader on par with Tak and the other Irkens Zim competes with regularly.

* In Issue 49, Zib is a Dib from an alternate reality that attached Zim’s PAK to the back of his head, which is why he has so much access to a bunch of complex technology. What’s concerning is exactly the nature of Zib’s mind, since the PAK of an Irken contains their mind. How conscious is Zim’s PAK? Is he dormant? Dead? [[AndIMustScream Is he trapped in the PAK?]] Or did [[FusionDance Dib absorb Zim’s personality to the point where they’re one and the same?]] This leads to a plethora of terrible possibilities:

* The last shot of "The Dookie Loop Horror" (and the series) implies that Gir once again killed Dib then baked him into a pie. And while Gir did mention to Dib about wanting to "bake" again the time loop had reset before he got the chance, and unlike Zim and Dib Gir isn't immune to the loop's amnesic effects. Just a dark but fitting gag to cap the series off, or was Dib so tired and defeated from his failure that he didn't have it in him to fight Gir or, worse, [[DrivenToSuicide suggested the idea himself]] since [[EvenEvilHasStandards even Zim saw what Gir did as being too far?]] Either way the loop will revive Dib, but at the very least Dib ''is'' going to remember what happened which isn't going to be good for his horrifically scarred psyche...

* GIR has been seen vomiting throughout the series, and issue 9 makes it clear that he does so often. It's possible that he has to vomit back every single thing he eats due to his lack of a digestive system.
* Issue 21 has a classic FreakyFridayFlip where Zim's "Bizmarkian mind-swapper" switches Zim with Gaz and Dib with GIR. For the most part, TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody is in effect, with Zim having to fight Gaz's natural apathy at every turn as Dib deals with SanitySlippage while inhabiting GIR's wonky programming. Gaz, though, undergoes a ''dramatic'' personality alteration over the course of the issue, dropping her games and everything else for a chance to TakeOverTheWorld, eventually stealing Zim's identity and becoming unrecognizable as anyone but a shrewder and more competent incarnation of Zim, retaining none of her other quirks. Dib himself notes that "having Zim's body is making Gaz act more Irken than human." Why? Because she doesn't ''just'' have Zim's body, ''[[HeartDrive she has his PAK]].'' She's essentially undergoing the same process of mental override by which Dib gradually "became" Zim after attaching to his PAK in the unfinished "Ten Minutes to Doom" episode.

* As seen in the comics, Dib has had plenty of moments in which he TookALevelInJerkass that he didn't reach in the show (more details on the main and character pages). While it could be the more colder side of his personality shining through, could it be a result of trauma from his experiences throughout the series?
* Discussed in-universe in Issue 10. In a pudding commercial on tv, a kid gets turned into pudding and flies away. Zim mentions how the commercial never shows the kid turning back, leaving him essentially stuck like that.
* Dib being locked in the containment unit with the snarl beast.
