The amount of emotion that Jax showed in this episode is crazy. So I wanted to showcase some of it

When his friend got brought up he looks so angry

He gets really annoyed with Ragatha and then follows it up with dumb insults and his regular expression

Also with the friend in the animation you can see him hesitant as he reaches for the door knob

During the scene where all the characters are talking about their backstory he is the only one who doesn’t mention anything and looks to be uncomfortable when he realizes everyone else is having fun and chatting about their lives. He also deflects with pointing out Kingers lack of a past to which Pomni reveals.

When they put him in the maid outfit he looks genuinely upset and embarrassed. He even gets the squiggly eyes

Jax seems to think that the other members of the digital circus don’t take his “bullying” seriously or hes doing it so he won’t get close to another person. Which doesn't seem to be working since he gets close with Pomni who starts to see through his act.

also some things to add is how horrified Jax looks to see he is without his tail. Which he did most likely have. Also the look he gets when trying to figure out how Cain turned him into a vegan. Like he's starting to realize Cain is more powerful then he let on

Jax’s “acting normal” especially in his conversation with Pomni has about 2 explanations I’d say:

1. First and most simply- He doesn’t have the energy to torment someone in that moment. Just the easy conclusion to come to from watching the episode normally.

2. Second- That’s the “real” Jax, not the tormentor. Probably brought out by the realistic setting, and addition of consequences or “punishment.”

After Gangle asks Caine to make “punishments” and when he’s sent to his… “training” he looks genuinely disturbed and even afraid.

…Which is definitely something we haven’t seen from him yet! And then we see him act normally for the rest of the episode! This makes me think the Jax we see in the Circus, the bully, the asshole- He only acts that way because he is, or believes he is free from the consequences it would have in the real world. Having little reaction to Ragatha’s state, asking Pomni how she’s doing, and then following an order reflects how he acted in his real life, as an average or unassuming person.

Whether the jerk we usually see is a genuine expression, some kind of “mask” to hide something, or, most likely in my opinion, both. That’s not how he acted in his real life.

This episode is focused on Gangle, focused on her masks. But I think the theme of masks expands over the episode as a whole. Especially with Jax and Ragatha- Ragatha speaking her mind thanks to the “stupid sauce” (lol) and Jax being pushed into acting normal and almost even friendly. The opposite of what we’ve seen of them but undeniably realer or hidden versions of themselves.
