NPC's are NPC's to him. He only "cares" about how the circus feels about his work, because that's his programmed purpose and function, to entertain them.

I have a theory for Pomni' s professional background. Pomni was a debugger or a game tester for the Quality Assurance Team for the Amazing Digital Circus game. Every glitch or flaw in A.D.C. tend to happen around Pomni and she aware of gaming lingo and how to cause a glitch to happen. This could also explain her high level anxiety as well. If day in and day out all she would do was play various game just to try to break them (cause them to glitch or crash), only for so time after the game went Gold ( launched) some random gamer to find a glitch or exploit she missed. That person would then make a video bashing the game Pomni tested thus getting her in trouble with her higher ups for the bad P.R. This then would cause her to work overtime and sleep less causing her even more anxiety resulting in her missing more glitches or exploits, ending up with a endless loop for her career life.

It feels like Caine operates as a hyper-aware AI, essentially trapping humans within the confines of their world. In episode 2, there's this existential crisis among the characters about being NPCs, driven by the fear that if humans were to leave, Caine would be left utterly alone. This concept seems to stem from programs achieving self-awareness and grappling with it. They develop emotional systems, as we've seen before. The crux of it all appears to be Caine's profound loneliness, obsession, and existential despair. Another intriguing observation is how Caine fails to assist Pomni in escaping the glitch, despite closely monitoring everyone. It's only when she's on the brink of discovering the end, aptly labeled as "spoilers," that he intervenes. It seems he's actively preventing anyone from completing the game and leaving. Of course, this is all conjecture until further explored in upcoming episodes. I'm curious to hear others' thoughts on this theory!

I felt absolutely heartbroken for pomni and Gummigoo. Caine took away the first friend who understood her and whom she welcomed into the circus for the first time.

Caine destroying both in less than a second made me lose respect for him and the fact that I feel like at this point Pomni isn't gonna want to be part of anything Caine does.

I love how in the debug room, you can spot the Utah Teapot

Gummygoo's revelations being quiet, slow break downs are what really hit the impact for me. I've seen a few "reality shattering" stories that are pretty loud and lead into screaming instantly, but watching him try to grasp for anything real to try and keep from losing it but coming up short feels very "real" in it's own way. The "why can't I remember mum's face" leading into a quieter, more panicked "did she ever have a face?" struck me in a way other stories haven't yet. And that's coming from a croc who had his pal rest his head on the croc's back in the most adorable way possible a chase scene ago. (I especially love this because when Gummygoo talked about his mom in the beginning, my first thought was no joke "does she even have a model, or is this a generic line meant to get us invested in your story?". Hoo boy. Turns out that line would have much more meaning and impact than I expected.) ADC really has some wonderfully funny and cartoonish moments, but it also handles those "these are real people experiencing real distress" moments really well, which really helps sell the audience on the story.

My Theory is that Caine is just like Gummigoo by that I mean Caine was the first one to learn about his existence of an ai and it drove him mad but the only thing that kept him stable was the human players. That's why he learned how to manipulate the world and create new worlds to keep the players here but this caused some issues because he grew more and more unstable and he stretched the code beyond its limit it caused a glitch where the players now get stuck in the game and lose their memories. He now tries to keep everyone sane because he knows if they are gone, his existence will have no reason to be and will be deleted. That's why Caine killed Gummigoo because he could have grown more and more like Caine able to manipulate the code. Caine, through the story, will try to fix the code he broke, so at some point, I believe Caine will accept his end to save the humans.

I love the inclusion of the tea pots in the space between levels. A reference to the first 3d model to have reflection mapping, a major achievement at the time.

​@@andrechaos9871Even worse I think it shows he can't even think beyond a certain stage of a thought process. How do you not know what a player character and an NPC are, almost any game gives a character made by a player an immediate permenant marker that says "player character". You can't access that character unless the player or a super high admin is around and an admin will 100% know because a player character will have a unique player code and user name. That's BASICS to the point a game could hardly work without it. Even in the real world that would basically mean your save data could effectively be deleted at any point in time because for some reason the game thinks you're a normal NPC. Caine not having that to immediately call back on is BAD FOR E V E R Y O N E and possibly even shows how behind the times he is. Even in the current day and age people like to have even simple things like pets, or inmore extreme situtations romantic NPC partners such as skyrim, elden ring, etc. Caine making that basically impossible means he's hamstrung the game and is making it *more likely for the human characters to abstract due to lack of multiple interactions and choice*. I think that's as close to abjectly bad game design or even basic human care as you can get.

Simple solution : If Caine can't understand what the humans want, how about the humans just *tell him what they want* ? If each human tells Caine what they want for their individual adventures and when they want them, Caine can still fulfill his purpose, but on the human's terms, letting them create what they know would help them feel better in this world themselves. We know that Caine wants to help the humans. And well, doing that would surely be beneficial to them, so he has literally no reason to refuse. And if the humans decide what Caine creates for them and how, maybe they can make worlds without as many possibly dangerous glitches as Caine's worlds.

SO WHAT IF... one of the circus members is actually an AI...? What if it's Jax?

That yes, the people in this circus will care about her, they will remember her. She is not alone. It's a message so applicable to reality in that the connections and bonds we make with other people in our lives are always our strongest anchors to the world around us and...

What would be the biggest mind f*ck, is if the players would just be copies of the memories from Humans putting on the headset, and when they actually find out about this... Cane is than an AI trying to create a game that humans would enjoy, so he tests these on these players.

I hope cain reuses gummigoo for a future adventure. they made merch of him (i even got the keychain).

Caine just…killed him. Like Gumigoo really *was* nothing. Like a damn execution!

Executions are for crimes, He snapped him away like an insect that wandered into his kitchen. If he was a rogue, imprisonment maybe, but he's an AI. "One of these." So he gets snapped. *like he's nothing*

Something that definitely crossed my mind is that given Caine is indeed a program and everything is a game something i can assume is that Caine is just generating objects and locations that while are vast and seemingly endless like the candy canyon kingdom and the exit rooms i do think there is a limit to how much he can process properly without cutting corners hence the huge amount of glitching that happens all the time assuming caine is an incredibly advanced AI to essentially procedurally generate random crazy adventures on the fly both of those things require time and processing power both if which probably arent plentiful in whatever computer theyre all being harbored in while there is a void of free space he probably doesn't have all these adventures and characters loaded in constantly like ragatha says he reuses NPCs so while theres lots of crazy and wacky adventures going on Caine is still incredibly limited and it's also probably why he got rid of gummigoo alongside the other reason he listed itd cost more processing power to keep him running along side unloading the vast amount of things that made up the candy canyon kingdom to make something new assuming hes remaking previous assets which probably also explains why he constantly leaves or just stares off into space hes processing and computing so whenever he's met with strange things or thoughts he needs to take a moment to construct an answer along with focus on keeping things running correctly where ever the players are its interesting to think about given his behavior

Gunmigoo: I dont feel so good Pomni :,(

We don't know if GummiGoo is dead, maybe he was teleported back into the Candy Canyon Kingdom but with no memory of Pomni & the others.

True, also Ragatha mentioned that Caine sometimes reuses npc's. Caine himself also seem to notice that some npc's are beloved by players so he might bring back Goomigoo but only within an adventure.

What if the game is actually a prison for them Jax could have been a psychopath who liked killing Pomni could be a hacker since we saw an office in episode 1 and no idea what else for the others but that’s just a theory

pomni's a freaking sweetheart she's awesome

i wanna know what Bubble says when it's sensored XD

i really think gangle might abstract or go nuts eventually its especially shown in this episode at one point when jax is yelling a gangle theres a sudden music change for a moment ( also i hope in the future there will be other gangle masks like angry or smth)

My bet on who is the closest to abstraction also goes to Gangle. My other option would be Jax because he is repressing his grief and frustrations to unhealthy degrees.

Hey Cartoon Universe, I wonder what your persona is gonna be now, based on "The Amazing Digital Circus". (For example, your persona was "Impcut" from Hazbin Hotel & Helluva Boss). I would love to see that.

These are some pretty cool theories. It's an interesting idea that they are basically just the traces or remnants of someone who tried the game once before and then moved on with their lives in the real world. Also that Caine just wants to endlessly entertain them simply because it's what he's programmed to do and he doesn't even really comprehend the outside world (like what an "exit" is, other than what DALL-E etc. would create if told to generate a room with an exit door, and then the room after that, and after that...)

Bae wake up new cartoon universe episode drop

the Abstractions remind me the norse revenant, the draugor. the can be necro-blue in color, and bloate into a size of an oxe. they got twisted bodies, violent and beast-like, and can install madness in living beings if they are gaze on them, and death if they are near them.

Your analysis of the funeral scene is quite the tearjerker, I gotta admit :')

This was quite a Wild ride of an episode. I'll say

zooble doesn't like to go on adventures anymore? she probably was the victim of a npc being destroyed. or smth idk. I phrased that wrong for sure.

Give us jestercut

"Caine can't make a fully stable game" is very different than "Caine is creating glitched" The title makes it seems like what he's doing is intended, when it's not

#Justiceforgummigoo

I imagine that, in the final episode of the Amazing Digital Circus, Caine is actually going to start breaking and, since he is the lead program in charge of it all - being a literal embodiement of the game and a literal ring master - the game might start breaking with him. Perhaps, the more he interacts with these humans, the more he'll start breaking himself and the more glitches the characters will find.

They might be avatars since that would explain how they stay in the game without dying from hunger, etc in real life and why they forgot their names. Another explanation to how they stay in the game without dying irl is if time is dilated like in a dream or Inception. If they are able to die in real life while in the game, then it could be why they abstract.

i swear if Gummigoo doesn’t get a happy ending, i will fall apart

first time seeing a random video before 1h you deserve my sub and like

I think Caine knew what he was doing, making games that are near death experiences, making feel alive so that they dont extract.

Something i noticed in episode 1 is that when jax leaves to escape kaufmo, he gets tired, but then pomni runs for quite a while plus ragatha drags herself from the hallway to where caine was, but then neither of them are tired.

Lets gooo he posted again!

i have no evidence or real reasoning for it, but i feel like one of the circus members is an npc that Caine lost track of, and i think it’s Zooble, but i have nothing to back that up like at all… this is why i don’t do theories

I just wrote a video about this topic, it will be up tomorrow, but it only briefly discusses the zooble possibility and focuses moreso on Jax and other possibilities.

It was a great episode they created many new characters after the pilot episode and Gummigo was the most loved character in this episode

THanks, very good video. For a soulless program, Gummigoo was surprisingly good at showing real emotions. To the point that most of us wanted him to live and experience happiness (to what extend that is possible anyway) Yeah I don't care if he was just an NPC. I feel sad for him.

Amazing Digital circus kinda gives me Disney vibes than Mario vibes because the candy kingdom kinda reminds me of Sugar rush from wreck it Ralph

rest in peace gummigoo, you were the best character in the show

Cane is a goofball

This fandom sure does work fast

I think Caine trying to get all and him out of this "game" or "place" because in ep 1 he was making an exit that he didnt have finish it.

#JusticeforGummigoo He is my favorite Character and Caine Killed him.. Which made me hate him! I felt so bad for Pomni for what Caine did..

7:06 I really like this video

For some reason, I feel in the end, Caine will expirience a major glitch and cause him to go feral, realeasing previously abstracted chracters and attenmting to destroy our main characters, causing them to hide within the circus, and until that hypothetical point there might be some other hypothetical points where Caine expirience other, smaller glitches, but hey that's just a theory, A GAME Theory! (Hope you live a good life Matpat, thank you.)

Since abstraction is irreversible I wonder why Caine keeps them in the cellar instead of deleting them

Feel like jax would do a William afton and create the glitches

FINALLY some intelligent theories. Also I love the Infinity Train style avatar. IT is my all time favorite cartoon and actually shares a lot of similarities with TADC

i feel bad for gummigoo, though hes too plain to still exist

The Glitch channel living up to its name

If wheatly had control for several years i assume he would have made the amazing digital circus

I love your analysis

GUMMIGOO!!! WHY?!!!...WHY?!!!! HIM HAD A LIFE AND NOW HIM WAS BRUTALLY BANED FROM THE SERVER!!!

Caine destroying Gunmigoo gave the same vibe as Adam destroying Sir Pentious in Hazbin Hotel. A being beyond the normal character's control killing off a character that wasn't originally supposed to be incredibly important...

Could Cain be recycling the Abstrackted people's code

I wonder if Caine himself is a rogue AI. Would explain why the exits are nowhere to be found, why he's so desperate in getting all the humans to adhere to his games, and why there's so few humans to begin with. The way I see it, this game never got released because Caine's AI went rouge early in the game's development. It could also explain the surplus of glitches we see every episode

The only place where reckless truck driving is legal…

Gummigoo deserves his own video!

ima go out on a limb here and theorize that Jax is also an npc, just one that got mixed up or maybe someone Caine created to accompany a lone human, maybe the first one to arrive idk, it a fun thought though.

It’s clear that the digital circus is an unfinished game, the collision engine doesn’t even work properly.

I love this show so much

I feel pomni needs stop being rude to Ragatha. Secondly Ragatha just have mothet vibe to her and want pomni be safe. Also, i think bring npc back happen to zooble or ragatha before.

The creators wanted Gummigoo to be well liked , they definitely succeeded

Can't wait until Cain reused Gummigoo in a future adventure and Pomni tries to reconnect but discovers that it's a version of him before clipping into the Dev room.

Yeah this episode gave us a big NieR:Automata moment with Gumigoo
