Isn't it the awesome store

[@DojaDuxkEater]

Darwin was already special but him and Gumball had an instant bond that made it expand. There's another pet from The Awesome Store that has no powers or magic connection with anyone in the family, so the true mystery of Darwin lies with him and the Wattersons. They tend to be at the center of everything weird in the town, and the movie would hopefully expand on that and the void but its been rocky lately.

Yeah actually Darwin can still comunicate with marine animals, you can see that in some episodes

I think he can talk to all animals, actually. He could understand Chris Morras the hamster, he spoke to a squirrel in one episode, and to a gaggle of ducks in another.

That's actually a unique ability Bubbles from Powerpuff Girls (1998) has too. Communicates and understand animals too.

Pretty much anything is possible in the world of gumball. Also literally everything is potentially sentient and can be treated as either a person or what they really are. What’s cool is that the awesome store (the van) was actually a recurring plot point before this, as well as Darwin being “the third” set up this episodes plot pretty well despite retconning some of what we previously knew. Like in a previous episode they literally find Darwin the first’s skeleton

[@yeoldehotdog306]

4:25 - That potted plant is actually Leslie, the flower Gumball interacts with later as a little bulb.

[@chaosspear0195]

The awesome magic store van comes back a few times. Magic exist in Gumball they can do will things into being real by imagination exorcism for emotion demons one of there friends is a sentient cloud and one of there classmates is a huge giant who’s mom is a witch that lives in a cave and does witchy stuff. They have nearly destroyed reality a few times. The show is highly meta there always breaking every kind of wall.

The episode called "The Authority" talks about Richads mom, and kind of explains why Richad is the way he is. You'd probably like it! Also the episode called "The Void" is great, it really goes into the lore.

[@allentheinfinite8383]

Basically Darwin and Gumball has a magical brotherly bond that's so powerful it's the reason how they can do basically anything. Like Gumball effortlessly turing super Saiyan that one time

When it comes to gumball, I've always loved the side character compilations like "Alan's Personality And Biology Are A Horrifying Mystery", "Teri Is A Brutally Tortured Hypochondriac", "Larry Is One Of The Saddest Characters in Animation" and "Sara Should Not Be In A Kid's Show". they're both highly entertaining and let you learn a lot more about the side characters that appear frequently around the show.

[@LilUFO9499]

It's a theory of evolution joke, his name is Darwin (like Charles Darwin aka guy who made the theory of evolution) and he's a fish who grew legs to adapt

[@EarlyPearly564]

The question is: Why is Darwin so smart while the rest of the species aren't? It's implied they are, since two goldfish knew what was going to happen when Richard came to the pet store and decided to sacrifice themselves instead of facing the consequences, but are lower when it comes to fish intelligence. Despite the fact that they are quite smart in real life. Perhaps the more 'uplifted' animals like Darwin are smarter than 'non-uplifted' animals?
