Depends how he was erased.
Rewatching a bit now, the colour of the Circus indicates it was still in that Caine absent state, & during it, there were lights arcing across a dark sky. This suggests either there was a timeskip while they adjusted & trained (Lol.) or without Caine, the... "heavenly" features like the sun, moon & sky are moving extremely fast; The arcing trails of light suggest them moving in the orbits they'd be perceived as travelling from the Circus's ground so fast that the lights of those light sources are blurring from the speed of their repeated cycles.
So, in Caine's absence, the sun, moon & stars move out of control in their orbit.... Or it's visual shorthand for a lot of time passing while the cast adjusts/trains. The visual is shown multiple times., plus with pulsing shadows, suggesting timeskip. & I don't recall any visual like that in shots where we saw the characters acting at a regular rate; The sky looks normal from in the circus. So I guess it's timeskip visual shorthand?
Caine's absence also seems to cause a lack of colour, unless that's more visual shorthand.
Oh, & the characters can cry tears, too, apparently.
Jax knows 2 songs he can play on the piano.
More gun skills for Pomni, with how she shot out the lights to soothe the Abstraction charging at her.
Oh & Caine is seemingly more sane after removing the blue dot from him. Another AI? Either way, he says he's less powerful without it. Wonder if it'll do anything? I'm presuming he means less powerful in a computational sense; It's a bit vague about how he's changed in terms of capabilities.
Also, so we are going to make everyone like tier 12?
Reality Equalization
Reality Equalization refers to the practice of treating characters from lower (or more rarely, higher) planes of existence as being on the same level of existence as most characters featured in Tiers 10 to 3. This is usually done in order to allow characters who exist in virtual worlds to fight...
vsbattles.fandom.com
Pretty sure they qualify for Reality Equalization standards to be indexed & scaled as Tier 10 to 3 characters are.
Also, metaphysically, computer data is just electrons or whatever, plus electricity & magnets & other circuitry stuff, photons for the visual aspect, & air vibrations (soundwaves) for the auditory parts. That's all Tier 10 stuff, not Tier 11 or 12 or whatever. They're not in another dimension from their world's reality, they're just files in a program.

Pretty much every character has shown the ability to do so. It's been kind of explained in episode 8 that all of them could control the Circus like Caine.
This has been mentioned in episode 3.
I honestly just assumed that the Void just works as in erasing anything leads there, and Caine only survived because he had the power to leave it. Don't think that would grant him immunity to existence erasure, though my explanation could be wrong.

No actual data is deleted from a computer even if you do ctrl+del until it's actually replaced in the hard drive by new data in the same slot, Caine does not have resistance to ee. Also he could just be in the bin, and Kinger claimed he could've recovered him if the computer didn't fall into the void.

Shame Jax never got to learn to conjure as well as the others

Bet he would've had fun with that. FWIW, the toony stuff in his mind suggests MAYBE he can. Or maybe it's just a psychological presentation thing.
DarkLock92

I think the toon stuff is more about his perspective of life in the circus, how they're all archetypes and not real people and all that.
To his credit, this way of thinking did allow Pomni to make some impossible shots, but that's probably the extent of it for him
- 11,945
- 5,524
Yeah, that's probably right, likely..

Oh, Caine said he was "keeping the worlds open". Like, the places for adventures he made?
Gosh, this series has so much potential for extra episodes, spin-offs or fanfiction with all the stuff it has set up. It's frustrating if it ends with just this, I'd love like, a video game adaptation to make a circus avatar & explore those worlds or something.

I mean if Caine can change the art style and even teleport them to the worlds without any need of portals, it is not impossible that they could replicate that, it only requires a lot of practice and imagination.

I know they can most likely replicate that, but Jax can't, he doesn't have that practice

Finally watch the movie
Me waiting to the movie release. (I didn't watch the leaks, dodge all spoilers and don't have any movie theater near me)
6 of my theories were right, It was obvious that Jax was going to abstratc, but I in the first minutes was a surprise

I mostly liked the finale, but I wasn't a fan of the reveal that everyone was a brain scan and not actually hooked up to a computer at all. It removed a lot of the existential horror aspect of the series, imo.

I mean, makes more sense, since Kinger would have being a vegetable for like 20 years or more. His body would have died at this point

I managed to survive this 2 weeks without major spoiler (i got spoiled about like 2 things but it were minor thing). I really liked the ending, i feel that is a good conclusion to the series.
When I heard that people hated the ending, I thought it was because of one of two things: either it wasn't what they had in mind, or it didn't match their headcanons—which turned out to be a strange mix of the two.
Overall, I'd give it a 9/10.

So am I, it's literally just a computer program in an actual PC that can be messed by the actual Linux OS. Caine does not get resistance to existence erasure because he never got really deleted.

And? It certainly felt like that at times, what with being trapped forever in an enclosed space.

I am still 99% sure all of the things he did in the computer are impossible under normal circumstances, it takes a huge lot of things for that to happen

As far as I know you can't scan a brain, have all its memories and things like that in real life. It's not a normal computer

Not a normal universe, expected since you need a unrealistic universe for all of this

It isn't. It's a computer program, it doesn't work with computer logic, doesn't work with in-universe logic, doesn't work with what Kinger said since he fully intended to recover Caine, meaning there was data somewhere. Also it wasn't ctrl+del, so paste bin. He also said they "tried" to delete him, so I don't recommend using his words as gossip.

So it's better than a normal computer, yet we're claiming the way they store data is more archaic than a real computer?
That's MORE grounds for data to be stored even after being "deleted", not less.

You're disappointed with something you made up in your own personal experience. Also, the existential dread of being a copy is far worse.

So like. Are we keeping the cast how strong they are in the digital circus or are they getting hit with the 10-C beam of death?

The worlds aren't really universe-sized given the fact that we blatantly see the skyboxes when Caine gets back to the Grounds as well as the ending when the camera is zooming out of the Grounds. Though, I do agree that the circus members should scale to Caine, but just in AP/Durability and not lifting strength or speed.
