Line 6:
* It's heavily implied that whenever somebody arrives in the City, their [[Canon]] is changed and they actually ''are'' absent in their world -- it's not just an automatic case of [[Year Inside, Hour Outside]] or [[Narnia Time]]. This raises questions about the state of the universe left behind, especially when it comes to heroes with grand quests or heroic deeds to perform.
** Tigress is only a child when she arrives, having been plucked from her world shortly after Shifu first offered to train her. So the little girl he was about to take in as a pupil and adopted daughter just vanished without a trace...
** Leads to a bit of an unsettling implication regarding the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|pony cast]] - Rarity and Twilight Sparkle never noticed Fluttershy missing, which implies that the pony cast are from not one, but two seperate 'continuities' that just suddenly had one or more of the Elements of Harmony just up and vanish. Given that Discord is very much ''not'' a statue, it's entirely possible that his presence is from the version of Equestria where Fluttershy went missing.
** [[Transformers Prime|Optimus Prime]] points out to Soundwave that if Megatron arrives in Ink City, that would throw the Decepticons back home into a [[Succession Crisis]] with everyone scheming and jockeying to fill the void. Left unspoken is the fact that the ''Autobots'' of their world are currently leaderless themselves...
*** And then Megatron ''does'' show up.
* Along with themselves, new residents may bring along a familiar location from their homeworld, such as their home, an office, or someplace similar. Much like the characters themselves, these places ''vanish'' as well.
** [[Animaniacs (Animation)|Dot]] flat-out tells Yakko that when he disappeared, so did the Water Tower. Eventually, Wakko disappeared without a trace as well, leaving her behind to wonder where her brothers went. While she was 'fortunate' enough to end up in the City herself as well and have those questions answered...
** When [[Katamari Damacy|Ichigo]] arrived, she brought along one of her favorite rolling places, the Ikebana Flower Garden from ''We ♥ Katamari''. In-game, the area is filled with deer, fairies and other fauna along with plenty of flora. Only the latter made the transition; not a single trace of its original inhabitants remain.
** [[Kung Fu Panda|Po]] showed up with Ping's Noodle Shop. Meaning his father isn't just dealing with his son disappearing, but his home and the rest of his life's work.
Line 17:
* The ink monsters are implied to be {{spoiler|empty shells who haven't yet found a 'blueprint' to give them a more defined form or personality}}. This raises all sorts of ''further'' questions about {{spoiler|the characters themselves -- are they the originals, simply given inky blood and the ability to regenerate in the Ink Well, or mere copies? And if the latter, ''why did the originals still vanish from their worlds?''}}
** Another detail with terrifying implications: during the Superboat arc, some of the ink monsters {{spoiler|mimic the voices of people who left the City}} -- and, after {{spoiler|Heloise}} is killed, {{spoiler|her voice as well}}. Of course, it's fully possible that {{spoiler|they're not just mimicking the departed, [[And I Must Scream|but]]...}}
* The [[Awful Truth]] that triggered [[Robotomy|Thrashers's]] me1TD0WN arc. He [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|Went Mad from the Revelation]] that [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|his series had been canceled]] and {{spoiler|his homeworld was completely destroyed along with all related materials}}.
* When a character [[Put Onon a Bus|leaves the City]], this can apply to the last thing they were seen doing. For instance, during the World Split, {{spoiler|Toothless}} was last seen in the throes of Split-induced [[Body Horror]], and {{spoiler|Fluttershy}} had a broken leg...
* If a character is dropped, and re-apped with no memory of the City and an unchanged canon, what happened to the original? Is that character effectively erased with a functional clone installed?
* [[The Muppet Show|Gonzo's]] displayed awareness of his puppeteer, Dave Goelz, and even shown him off on one occasion. Goelz (along with arm rods and Gonzo's status as a puppet) appeared only faintly. Is he trapped in some horrible limbo between the 'real' world and Ink City? Is part of his ''soul'' attatched to Gonzo? Who knows.
* [[Portal 2 (Video Game)|Cave Johnson]]'s first meeting with [[Ace Attorney|Edgeworth]] is funny at first, with Cave making it clear he doesn't like lawyers... until you realize he hates laws because they get in the way of his [[Mad Science]]. So what happens when it [[Cloudcuckoolander|finally sinks in]] that [[Ink City]] doesn't '''have''' a working justice system [[The Unfettered|to keep madmen like him in line]]...?
