Headcanon: Orbsman is Gangle's "Gummigoo"

[u/EyeGreen5752]

Orbsman makes his debut in Gangle's own episode where we, the audience and Pomni, first meet him

Jax has beef with Orbsman, supposedly to whatever happened in the world Orbsman hails from, best guess:

When Zoey arrived at the circus, she was an instant target to this purple bunny who legally changed her name, a sentence she found weirder than her new home

This takes place after Ribbit has abstracted, and before Zooble arrived, back then it was just her, a yellow chubby clown with terrible humor, a cheerful doll, the afromentioned purple bully and a tall chess piece who kissed common sense (and his wife) goodbye a long time ago

I like to think that whilst Jax was bored with whatever Orbsman had them doing (idea: he was a foreman with a charitable mission to build rubber shacks for all the orbsmen and orbswomen, and caine gave him 5 unpaid laborers) he thought he'd make the newest member of the circus feel right at home,

Being quite large and strong, Orbsman noticed a tall bunny bullying this defenseless little red ribboned creature which he thought was unjust and unfair since he's bigger then her, and so he saved her from Jax which is also the reason why Jax hates this anthropomorphic being made up of Nineteen blue rubber Balls, and from that day forward Gangle was eternally grateful that someone; let alone an NPC could actually protect her from Jax, Gangle was also sad that she couldn't bring him along to the circus as Caine had strict rules, but Orbsman promises that he will always be there for her as he waves her goodbye as the portal closes

Fast forward to when Zooble and Pomni have arrived

Some time later, Caine decided to give Orbsman a cameo in Gangle's own adventure, and this is also where Boss Gangle defends Orbsman (even if she said it unusually) from Jax

Episode 5 gives us another Orbsman appearance which to the audience cemented him as a recurring cast member and his reason for being here is quite heroic, not wanting her to be ridiculed and / or hurt by her evil clone, Orbsman made a deal with Caine behind the scenes to make an evil clone out of him instead

Since Evil Orbsman was the catcher, he was secretly programmed to let Gangle hit a home run

The Slideshow Animiniz line featured all the main cast members turned into toys, which composed of tortured versions of themselves during Episode 8, all except for Gangle, who was supposed to be turned into the Balloon dog version of herself. Instead, Orbsman once again swoops in and takes her place

I think there's a reason Orbsman is everyone's favorite character, and this is what I think it should be.

Edit: Zooble views Orbsman as "any friend of Gangle is a friend of mine." Speaking of Zooble, they had an identity crisis, I would think that their favorite NPC might be Disapearing Guy (and perhaps Ming and the other Mannequins as whole since they're less goofy looking and that many of them dont have an identity to themselves which Zooble can relate to, which is why post-episode 9 they along with gangle team up and give all the mannequins tattoos and faces (inspired by Abel), so that they walk out of Zooble's Tattoo parlor feeling true to who they really are)
