An awesome AU that, while very edgy, does have a very interesting storyline and set of characters.

Even with the edgy stuff there's a point to it.

u/Maria_Girl625 Jun 21 '26

It's so easy to explain though. "Caine already had other body models planned and put their faces on rooms"

6

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '26

Doesn't really work because Caine explicitly said that their bodies are made based on their mind files.

I made a program that creates a body perfectly encapsulating their mind files, and they hate those, too!

episode 8

What does work is just assuming that, because this is a memory in Jax's mind, it's not a perfect representation of what happened and Jax's memories got mixed up a bit.

7

u/ObviouslyLulu I LOVE RAGAPOM Jun 21 '26

Zooble was likely the last one to join before Pomni since Caine says something along the lines of "Everything was fine before you and Zooble appeared" in episode 8

Likely? Goode already confirmed Zooble was second to last to appear around the Episode 2-3 era.

Zooble was the last person to appear before Pomni. It was mentioned by the creators, and Jax's comment in episode 8 ("everything was fine until you and Zooble showed up") canonizes that in-show.

This is why it's hard to hyperanalyze everything. I think everyone at that time is trying to rush the movie for theatrical release and minimize leaks so QA will be extremely limited before final rendering.

There’s another theory that there are a finite number of avatars for the mind files

And presumably the mind files predated the events of the show…

So it’s not crazy to think they were just in storage until being instantiated…

u/BlaineMundane Jun 21 '26

Ehh, I don't know if that checks out. Raggy seemed surprised to see that Pomni already had a room after arriving. If it had been there in waiting, she would have known exactly where it would be. Plus, Caine does not struggle to create. It's what he does.

Is this before or after Ribbit abstracted? Because I know Zooble (i think) was the latest pre-Pomni circus member, so this couldn't, fully be a continuity error if you stretch a bit. Or this is before Gangle appeared and now Goose has to remake the entire series from the beginning.

What? Those are the doors of Jangle and Trooble. They always kept to themselves but we're there during Kaufmo and Ribbit's tenure in the Circus. Their fates were confirmed in the Amazing Digital Circus visual novel that released a few months back, but its part of the hardest route in the game, so I don't expect everyone to know about them.

The rooms would later be repurposed by Caine for Gangle and Zooble.

Plausible in-universe explanation:
These are Jax's memories, and memories warp and deteriorate over time. The hallway where Gangle's and Zooble's pictures are on the doors are the ones Jax has the most recent memories of.
So it's not implausible for Jax's memory to be slightly inaccurate, showing a more recent version of the background environment than what was accurate during the event.

Of course, the real explanation is animator mistake. But it's fun to try to pseudoscience our way out of it. Like solving a puzzle.
