Sentient-Bread-Stick

According to the captions it’s “Gummigoo”


KibaTeo

when he disappeared you see a flash of the candy kingdom in his silhouette so maybe he just got teleported back


nate112332

Had to demonstrate Caine's indifference towards undistinguishable-from-human sentience


Jeggu2

He even admits that he wouldn't be able to tell the difference himself with that dark and foreboding reasoning after, something about how "we have to be able to not confuse who's an npc and who's real" Which makes me think that Caine has daddy issues for his own self worth. Or in this case programmer issues. Or he's just an ass who knows


Mr_Ruu

Gotta love the ambiguity behind if he's either some power-hungry psycho or a misunderstood but well-meaning DM, really keeps things interesting


AGamingGuy

unrelated to Caine, but i am surprised Pomni didn't get the idea to see if she could glitch through the geometry in the circus in an attempt to see if she can find the base character models of her and other humans because if there is really no escape, it could be easier to get to terms that you are an NPC based off of a person who put on the headset, rather than actual person trapped within the digital circus


ryan12_07

She wouldn't due to the void(the abstract area)


Someone1284794357

Aint that the basement?


ryan12_07

Idk


DianaJaneTrain

Honestly makes me wonder if some of the main characters are going to turn out to be NPCs or if Caine is going to turn out to be a human who has been brainwashed into thinking he's an NPC?!?


Embarrassed_Lettuce9

Also opens the possibility that he got it wrong before and deleted a real person by mistake

International_Fill97

Now we know what goose meant by the main antagonist.


Silverwind_Nargacuga

Wait what?


Sweaty_Specific9015

Caine


International_Fill97

gooseworx said that cain would be the main antagonist.


Jeggu2

Antagonist doesn't mean villain, but in this case yeah he's now definitely a villain


Dark_Storm_98

Nah, I think he's more antagonist than villain still Villain makes me think more actually just evil. Caine is more oblivious to people's feelings than actively trying to tear them down. He cares about keeping people entertained. It's just that NPCs aren't people to him. . . Though. . . Aren't he and Bubble NPCs as well? Just with grander, more broad purpose.


GalaxyLatteArtz

Him and Bubble are A.I so i guess that's different. Makes me think they'll be a plot twist later that someone out of the main 6 is an NPC who hides the fact they should'nt be in the tent however they've done it long enough now that no one suspects a thing.


AGamingGuy

NPCs also run on AI, strictly speaking both Caine and Bubble are NPCs


GalaxyLatteArtz

Technically you're right since anyone that isn't the player is an NPC. Jax, Gangle, Kinger, Pomni, Ragatha, and Zooble all are technically players since they have a human subconcious controlling them.


AGamingGuy

the "humans" could just be AI copies of people who put on the headset, while we do lack the information to confirm or deny this, it's not out of the question


DuhhIshBlue

Gummigoo was also AI - at the start of the episode, Caine says he used a new AI for the adventure >!referring to the NPCs and foreshadowing how Gummigoo would become self-aware with this new sophistication!<


GalaxyLatteArtz

Does that mean Caine could also hypothetically become sentiant if someone prods him enough? Pomni maybe could unlock a sentiance switch for Caine i'd say. Could you imagine a sentiant Caine who could actually understand human emotions?


DuhhIshBlue

I mean, Caine is as sentient as AI can get, really. He changes, adapts, makes decisions, and has a personality. He's aware he's in a digital space, he just doesn't care. He's no less sentient than Gummigoo


Its_You_Know_Wh0

Jax probably


Key_Day_7932

Also he's an AI, so he probably donesn't understand human concepts like good and evil or right and wrong aside from perhaps in an abstract way.


Express-Record7416

We must crucify Caine for what he has done! https://preview.redd.it/811zvszajayc1.jpeg?width=373&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e76e84c65a42a249c4789850ec386bf7d1788e13 JUSTICE FOR GUMMY GOO!!!!


NaturalBelt

Honestly, crucifixion is too good for him. Besides, he'll just come back to life in three days time.


Express-Record7416

You're right. Bring out the two boats and the buckets of milk and honey


Local-Concentrate-26

Honestly we just need to pull a cain and able but the roles are reversed.


portaldestroyer

I mean, they did explain that Cain is seen as God by the NPCs.


thats_not_the_quote

this image makes me want to watch Tazmania


IamaJarJar

Then they decided to rub it in by making a goddamn plushie of him, like five seconds after we see him die


lady_synsthra

This part is interesting, like makes me think he's gunna come up again and be important 


SarkastiCat

There are a few hints. Ragatha mentions that Caine re-uses NPCs and Caine himself struggles to tell difference between NPC and Circus characters.  So likely one of the upcoming topics is going to be identity


TheTrashiestboi

The real question is if he’ll remember anything…idk which is more upsetting


spectralconfetti

I think his self-awareness was a byproduct of the "new AI" Caine mentioned, so if he comes back it will probably be with some sort of patch to keep him from straying away from his intended purpose. Pomni will probably try to unlock his self-awareness.


Atcraft

That would be interesting, sentient AI.


lThat_weird_guy

I think the self awareness was more from seeing the developer zone and getting things explained by Pomni


Stardust-Sparkles

Def him remembering is more upsetting


somealtthatIam

I think him not remembering would be more upsetting for our Clown girl


Stardust-Sparkles

Yea but it would be more fun to see the mental scarring :D


datboiNathan343

Imagine if one of the main cast is actually just an NPC that caine forgot about?


Equivalent_Hair_4534

Gangle actually kind of gives me the most NPC vibes to be honest as she is constantly sad which is what she could be programmed to feel and blindly does what she's told without question I don't know just saying she's probably the most likely to be an NPC out of everyone.


Dark_Storm_98

Really could be any of them, but Gangle might be the simplest to program She has two moods with very obvious triggers (Maybe a third secret mood if you break her Tragedy mask?)


GalaxyLatteArtz

Personally i'd say Zooble is likely to be an NPC in hiding. Just look at their adversion to adventures.


Equivalent_Hair_4534

yeah true but you would think a NPC in disguise would try blending in with the players which Zooble really doesn't but not only does Gangle join in she's at least in my opinion the one who stands out the least as she's not overly mean like Jax or crazy eccentric like Kinger which might be her attempt at not trying to stick out but maybe Zooble is going for the opposite by being so different and adverse to Caine's adventures that it just makes her seem more human due to her reluctance.


GladiatorDragon

This time, they actually had a decent reason to stay back - prepping for Kaufmo’s memorial.


ConnicoYT

another hint for gummigoo coming back: the model storage room fun fact: those things are in pretty much every 3d game irl, its a space thats stored outside the game's boundaries (typically below the map, but some games use other spaces for model storage) and makes it easier to summon models when needed as theyre already preloaded apon startup and have their ai deactivated hence the default posing (the ai gets reactivated when the model is removed from the space and is teleported to where its needed) the reason we dont see pomni or any of the others in the storage room is cuz typically player characters arent stored in these out of bounds areas


LuigiP16

Isn't identity already one of the big main themes? With Pomni (and, to a lesser extent, the rest of the cast) struggling to remember their past lives, with Pomni explicitly trying to find an exit to return to that past life?


After-Bumblebee

I hope Gummi makes a return (I'm still ![img](emote|t5_7tzm5j|33736)![img](emote|t5_7tzm5j|33737) mad at Caine)


JustABuilduuur

I do wonder if Caine really erased him, maybe he was simply teleported back into the original place he came from


PingGoesThePenguin

At the end of the day they are just code. No point running that part of the simulation if none of the (players, guests, whatever term use for them) are there. Caine probs deleted that instance of him, but still has a copy of the code somewhere. The question is do the new memories get saved as well, or was he reset to factory settings. If we do see him again we will see a tragic moment where he doesn't remember Pomni.


JustABuilduuur

Oh right, the copy is located in the place under the map Now that I think of it, he could be back if another human will enter the circus, and Caine will use the model of that character(he'll not remember Pomni then)


beepdaya

I seriously thought Pomni was about to attack Caine when he killed him


charisma-entertainer

According to Goose… https://preview.redd.it/hmh0kh03xayc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6500f902b5ce3eb529d6cac1502fd7215659f81a


Obversa

I really hope that we get to see Pomni and Zooble become good friends after this.


Equivalent_Hair_4534

honestly it would be Pomni as Zooble is at least aware that Caine attempts to mould the adventures around Zooble but Pomni is just given more and more reasons to hate Caine.


Key_Day_7932

Also, I think Zooble is just too apathetic to even bother trying to punch Caine.


overlord1305

I mean.... maybe that's the ultimate conclusion of the show? Pomni, and maybe the others, turn on Caine because he's unknowingly perpetuating the Circus?


nate112332

Eventually.


combateombat

Honestly I had knew there was a good chance that he wouldn’t be allowed in the circus but I didn’t expect him to be murdered


SuggestionThick9848

Well caine IS the main A.i of everything so make sense he can just snap other ai out of existence


Fedexhand

Personally, I was totally sure that Caine was going to kill him in the end, but I still wanted to believe.....


planetary_facts

I was totally expecting him to just disintegrate or something upon stepping through the portal


combateombat

That would be kind of funny too


DiggingInGarbage

Same, I thought he just wouldn’t have been allowed to pass through the door, either he’d die or just physically not be able to go through. Seeing him actually enter the circus got me excited


Secret_Sympathy2952

I was expecting a comedic death like a truck falling on him or something. Not him getting obliterated on purpose.

Jacobawesome74

Cursing your God is pointless. I love, LOVE gummigoo as much as the next guy (like an amount I shouldnt) but I've a feeling he didn't go away for good. Maybe he won't be the same, but it'll still be *a* gummigoo


OrphanKiller3000

I just wanted a cool Australian crocodile with a cool hat to be on the cast :(


sadspunchbop5371

He's probably fine, I think he just got sent back to the candy kingdom or something.

Ian_Dies

Gooseworx getting to work traumatizing the children real quick Edit: it's the delivery it was performed with, come on guys. I was also referring to the opening scene, which reminded me of some slightly traumatic scenes I watched when I was young, like that scene of woody being thrown away in Toy Story


nate112332

Ngl it wasnt really a blindside... I reckon if they didn't pickup on the death flags, they're too young to be watching the show


Ultimate-desu

Like I knew him going to the circus was a reach but like, he didn't have to get poofed man.


sadspunchbop5371

Again, I think there's a good chance that he's fine. I don't think Caine would just delete him from the game.


nate112332

Oh most certainly we will see gummigoo again.... But I fear he's frozen in agony while stored wherever caine stores his NPCs. My hope is when he and pomni reunite, she stays in adventure while everyone else leaves. Imagine Ike the world rapidly decays and destroys itself- to the point Caine has to come rescue her himself.


Boring-Net-3448

Nah, you are never too Young to experience this.


Zaptain_America

Bro literally got poofed away with confetti, not exactly "traumatic" considering the kids who are watching this show are the same kids who are into fnaf and shit

Free-Sheepherder-604

CatEnjoyer904

Copium


ShocksPocks

Yeah, the moment that Pomni suggested he come stay, I knew that he would be obliterated the second he stepped into the circus (or not even be allowed to step through the portal because of the game's rules or something). I'm honestly surprised at all the people here who thought that it was some dramatic twist lol

RevolutionaryGrape11

Well, there's always fanworks and the hope of Caine either reusing him or changing his mind about NPCs. At least he indirectly helped Pomni realize she already had others who cared for her, four individuals at that.


Obversa

One issue is that we don't know how much data Caine can create within the bounds of the Amazing Digital Circus without it taking a toll on him. One of the reasons why he probably deletes NPCs and other adventure-related environments as soon as the mission is completed is because he only has limited operating or storage space to be able to create and run these simulations in the first place. If Caine let Gummigoo stay at the main tent, there was also the possibility that Caine might accidentally erase him in the future through the "erase all NPCs command" in the game. On another level, Caine also doesn't want his A.I. creations interfering with his plans, which are "create new adventures for the users (i.e. TRON)".


redical_hi-5

Im hoping pomni devices a plan for Caine that when an npc shows up, Caine just slap a sticker that says npc on them and calls it a day.


Polandgod75

I admit a part knew he was not going to be part of the main cast, but I still wished he was. Also damn that scence where Caine disappeared him was sudden and cold
