Kinger isn't Evil All Along but he is Obfuscating Insanity
Recently, a theory about Gangle being the only player who likes being in the circus
has emerged, due to her not really showing much of a sign of disliking the fact that she's obligated to stay in teh Digital Circus unlike the other players. For all those "one of the 'players' is actually an NPC" theories, I prefer this one a lot more, because the idea of one of the players not seeing the Circus as a hellish place is very interesting to me, on top of being something that wouldn't feel too out of place in the actual series (not that I 100% expect it to be canon, but still).
I'm not the only one who sees Jax in Episode 2 as a Take That! to the "Tumblr Sexy Man" phenomenon that often occurs with Lanky male characters that happens to also have Jerkass Qualities, am I?
Because the way he's portrayed in Episode 2 definitely feels like Gooseworx knew that he'd get this treatment in Episode 1, so while writing, she deliberately shows just how much Jax is an asshole and is more akin to an Eric Cartman rather then an Angel Dust. The fact that he's supposed to do something "irredeemable" and is apparently the only Player Character who deserves to be in the circus according to her also feels very deliberate.

Watch SymphogearI don't think Jax is an intentional Take That! just because apparently episode 2 was written before the response to episode 1
HAPPY HALLOWEEN FOR MARIAEither that or Gooseworx has a knack at foresight. I think it just depends on how early Gooseworx, and the folks at Glitch, had Michael Kovach in mind for Jax.

What
said. She probably had foresight of it due to being in Internet circles for a long time with her music composition for the Helluva-verse.
So there was a panel for this at my local con this past weekend. Here's a link to an unofficial upload
though I can't promise it won't be taken down. No major announcements or anything but they did confirm that 5 out of 9 episodes have been fully recorded and to look forward to Episode 4 if you're a Gangle fan.
Any word on if Zooble fans (like me) will get anything thrown their way?

Apparently, there's going to be a lot more Zooble going forward
. I think I remember Gooseworx saying episode 3 in particular is a Zooble episode but I can't find the source so take that with a grain of salt.
Speaking of Zooble, my Zooble plush just came in the mail. ...God, is keeping their limbs in place such a pain in the ass.

Sounds like the 02 battle theme from Kirby 64 or Moonstruck Blossom from Kirby: Triple Deluxe.

You gotta believe me when I scare you away, all that I wish for is that you would stayFanart of Jax getting his butt kicked
silly rabbit
have a listen and have a link to my discord serverFun fact: Before Princess Loolilalu's name was revealed, I got pretty close by guessing "Eulalia". It means "sweet talker" in Greek. I also once guess Martha's name as "Serene" because... well, it's the Digital Circus! The name's gotta be something unorthodox.
Good morning, and good night, I hardly ever sleep. With what I have, what else do you think I'd ever need?![]()
I kinda wish it was Pomni in Ragatha's place, since she's the one Jax always calls "kid", and she's 3 years his senior.

The ghost lady's name being "Martha" surprised me, probably because I was so used to "Martha" being Pomni's hypothetical real name thanks to Kevin Temmer's fan theory about Pomni being Martha from his short What's the Matter, Martha?.

Waiting to have my head disfigured and mounted on a wall.
I headcanon her true name as "Poemi". (It's a Japanese name, to go along with the other headcanon that she's the Office Lady from "Pixel Galaxy"'s MV.) Because 1. They rhyme. 2. Both would start with ぽ/ポ. And 3. They both have the same number of letters/syllables in English and Japanese, respectively (ぽえみ/Poemi and ポムニ/Pomni).
Yeah, it's pretty weird when you think about it (like, it would take cosmic luck for their real names and "stage" names to be similar when they don't even remember the former), but we gotta have some basis for the headcanons, don't we?

Here's Gooseworx saying who's the focus of each episode
![]()
So, Zooble's sharing the spotlight of the next episode with Kinger? ...Now they're really starting to remind me of Kakyoin and Polnareff respectively.
Remember this post
where Jax is shown listening to "Creep" by Radiohead and he relates to it? Well, I went to take a look at the lyrics and well..
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
...I guess this shows what Jax really feels about everything. This implies that he hates being in the Digital Circus, and that he really seeks control (maybe of his life), and that he wants everyone to notice. Maybe he was ignored/neglected in his past life and acts like a jerk just so someone can pay attention to him.
