• So what exactly is the relationship between the alien and October in the latter's ending? Since the said alien looks exactly like October.
  • Maybe the one sitting in the UFO is the actual October who is indeed an alien who plans to take over the Earth, but disguises himself as a human farmer in Taiwan. Made more convincing since October becomes the president in the U.S. And for a native Taiwanese to go to the U.S. and become the president in such a short time does prove that he has some sort of power besides money.
    • But then, who is the more humanized October in future games? Did he undergo a character redesign so he used to be an alien but not anymore?
  • Or if the October we are playing as is just one of the alien's minions, since we can assume they are of the same species?
  • He's definitely an alien as in the bonus ending in 5's expansion pack, October from 4 rides a UFO and abducts all newcomers (except for Ninja as he already know him.) Luckily he brings all five to Ninja to see the fireworks.

• Why is Candy absent this time again? She is literally the only missing "classic" character that gets no explanation.
  • She probably gets grounded by her parents again for participating in 6 Expansion and 7. But who knows.
  • Or one of the new participants have bought or got the ticket from her, done secretly and in a much more polite way than Salonbus buying Daniel's ticket, or Kimchi straight up taking Miyamoto's by force.
• Do other people in Antarctica actually care when Igloo and Monster apparently do not come back after they are at the circus with Kimchi? Or do they even know what's happening? Igloo's opening has stated that the Monster is important to them too, after all.
  • Maybe some people have also decided to find Igloo and Monster after he is missing for a prolonged period of time, then after finding that Monster is tame after befriending Kimchi and Igloo is safe, they decide to not care about it anymore?
    • Or they could have all joined Igloo in watching the Monster performing with Kimchi.
    • Or they could have convinced Igloo to come back with them after knowing that Monster will be safe.
• Why are all characters (besides Baby King, whose car should be real because shouldn't be able to run with her legs) merely wearing a toy car instead of using real ones, while using functioning scooters?
• Why did no one care when Kimchi is using certain items as training objects in battle?
  • As for King Octopus, he couldn't care less. He was just there for the Lucky Star.
  • Likewise, James and Coolva are definitely more focused on keeping track on King Octopus.
  • Xiaomei is quite carefree about this and actually admires Kimchi for doing this.
  • Other people might be too scared to stop Kimchi, considering what has happened to poor Miyamoto and Miyamoto didn't even have problems with her. The only other person that might have combat abilities is Ninja, who is also busy with fixing the damage he has caused by summoning the monster.
    • Or they just view this the same as any other random events where a random house is destroyed, a random person is hospitalized or so.

• Daniel acts like he has never seen Baby King in his story mode, when everyone who has played 4 knows that they definitely did appear there, and many would remember that ending when Daniel, along with Miyamoto, Ninja and Wu Mhi getting bombed by Baby King. Other that the possibility of an oversight in setting, why would this happen?
  • Maybe the bombing is exactly why he didn't remember Baby King: He got so scared of that he ends up getting amenesiac, but only for that baby and not anyone else in that universe.
• How is King Octopus's ink capable of putting someone to sleep just by "obscuring their sights"?
  • Maybe it's because the ink has King Octopus's unique sedative in it. Get hit by some and they will make you actually drowsy.
