Canon

Pilot

When Pomni is suddenly transported into the Digital Circus, she ends up crashing into Jax, who crashes into Kinger, who crashes into Gangle. Jax asks Caine if Pomni is a new NPC or a new character, because if it's a new character, then they're gonna have to redo the whole theme song. Zooble states that they don't want to do that again. Pomni tries to take off the "headset" that she put on by frantically pulling at her body. Jax sarcastically encourages her to do it, as the other's have tried it before.

After getting a tour from Caine, Pomni noticed that there was an exit door somewhere and asks Caine about it. Jax takes one of Zooble's arms and tell Pomni that if there was an exit, they would've all already left. Zooble uses their arm to strangle Jax and asks Pomni what she is talking about. To get everyone's mind off the exit, Caine announces that today's adventure will be the gang gathering shape creatures called Gloinks. Zooble attempts to leave but the gloinks ended up snatching them away. Jax sarcastically exclaims that the gloinks kidnapped Zooble before asking the gang if they want to get something to eat. When Ragatha suggests that they go check on Kaufmo since he didn't appear in the intro, Jax decides to go with her and Pomni and assigns Kinger and Gangle to save Zooble.

Kinger and Gangle find a hole in the middle of the floor where one of the Gloinks took one of Zooble's parts into. Jax catches up with the two after leaving Ragatha and Pomni with the abstracted Kaufmo and the three of them venture into the "Zooble hole", where they find the Gloink Queen and her gloinks. They also see Zooble about to be eaten by the Gloink Queen. Zooble asks them to help them out but since they refer to the 3 as "idiots", Jax decides that he's not helping so Kinger and Gangle do rock paper scissors to see who gets to save Zooble. Gangle loses so Kinger has to save Zooble. To his surprise, the gloinks take off with his hands when he tries to grab Zooble. Kaufmo then appears from the sky and attacks the Gloink Queen, who coughs up Zooble. Jax grabs their head and the 4 of them leave the hole through a conveniently placed escalator. Zooble asks where Pomni is since the whole thing was supposed to be for her. Jax tells them to shut up so he can hear the escalator.

Candy Carrier Chaos!

While Jax is there for the entirety of Episode 2, Zooble only briefly appears in the episode at all, as they're not interested in experiencing Caine's adventure. As they're walking away from the group and Caine calls out to them to stop, trying to entice them with the new artificial intelligence he's been experimenting with, Jax slides up to them with a wide grin, asking if they really don't want to "mess with the new AI" and calling them by a nickname, "Zoobie". Zooble replies after a bit of a pause that they don't, in an unimpressed voice, and turns around again to leave. Jax is left standing with the same smile, and shrugs at Caine, then looks back at Zooble walking away.
