I think Caine's eyes should've been yellow had he never absorbed the blue AI

Hear me out.

Caine was way smaller than the second AI (specifically 1/4 of it; this is important), so it makes sense that when he absorbed the blue AI, it overtook a big chunk of his being. That's what allowed him to create the circus and everything in it, and to me it makes sense this reflects on his appearance.

i think 3/4 of Caine's composition is the blue AI, and this reflects in his eyes. One is fully consumed by the blue AI, and the other, only half, making it green; the other half of the eye had to be yellow.

And the only way the blue AI wouldn't consume him instead was by leaving the last 1/4 of it, the conscience part, outside his body. That's Bubble.

Makes sence they don't exactly get along

Red, blue, and yellow are the show's colors; the circus is red and yellow; the 2 original AIs were red and blue; the show's title is in red, blue, and yellow; so are the menu buttons; and the protagonist is red, blue, and yellow also (probably signifying Pomni’s role as a catalyst for change in the story and also how she’s the most “relatable” according to Caine; her having the three colors represents how she’s everything; she’s the most human of them all).

The circus and Caine's clothes being red and yellow is very important, these are things he created for himself, to give himself an identity, it reflects him at his core, so i think those are his original colors, while blue is not a color he wants but needs wether he likes it or not.

It's also fun how he attributes the color blue to something really negative like the "leave" button, while the red button (stay) is the "good one" in his eyes. There’s also a cool symbology about staying and leaving with Pomni's gloves during the first and eighth episodes.

It makes sense Caine refers to Bubble as a parasite, since he's someone who's entwined with him and he won't ever be able to get rid of. As long as he wants his power, as long as he refuses to be the flawed, discarded prototype he was created as, Bubble will be a part of him.

Unless he... you know...

Quits. And returns to his true self. Imperfect 

Yellow

I truly believe Caine is in the recycling bin, and they'll get him out to save the circus before it collapses and everyone gets erased. And when they get to him, he’ll be back to his original colors

Also, it might be a bit of a stretch, but I think the blue AI's secondary color would've also been yellow if Caine hadn't consumed it, tying the three colors together.

It’s cool that the only color in the circus now is purple, a mix of the red and blue AI and their programmer's signature color in the circus.

Ik everyone is meme-ing on how gachiakuta is a shonen that finally makes use of guns 😭 but I had a theory why.

We already know that resources are limited on the ground. I mean. How would regular people get their hands on weaponry in the first place?

The HELL GAURD uses guns, why? Because they deal with GIVERS, who are also human.

(go off kyouka)

We've also seen criminals with weaponry (i.e: chapter "Pest control")

And then ofcourse, iconically, Riyo. But also Mildrette

Guns could have very strict laws (enforced by hell gaurd) regarding gun ownership, which is why we see Riyo and Mildrette with guns— licensing and etc. but Riyo WAS an ASSASSIN, I doubt it's unlikely she couldn't get her hands on a few bullets to load her old gun which she kept with her.

The other guys who were in pest control and tried to blow the HQ up, are simply, well, criminals. You mean to tell me Gachiakuta dosent have a black market? OFCOURSE IT DOES. And Riyo WAS also a criminal back then. Boom. Explained. The only way to attain a gun in the ground is:

1) being hell gaurd

2) being licensed and from an organisation that requires it if needed (like the cleaners)

3) be a criminal 👩🏻‍🦲

I get that. On such a personal level.

Not only that, but the mask is plastic. Plastic (the mask) is often considered cheap and unauthentic, whereas glass is considered more high quality (her real personality). No matter what she does, she feels like she’s failed. Her genuine emotions are so sensitive and easily hurt, but her mask is obviously and visibly a fake persona, and in her case, a completely out-of-character one.
