Julie is the central antagonist of the infamous creepypasta known as the Gumball Hijack Incident 2026.
Originally from Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, she resurfaces here as a corrupted, deranged entity who breaks through animated barriers to invade the world of The Amazing World of Gumball. Unlike her bubbly cartoon self, this Julie is mutilated, insane, and drenched in blood, her left eye gouged and replaced with a dark void that bleeds constantly.
In this incident, she hijacks a late-night Cartoon Network broadcast and completely warps the episode. The familiar colorful tone of Gumball gives way to eerie emptiness, missing characters, and oppressive silence before Julie slowly reveals herself. Her role as a maniacal hijacker cements her as one of the most infamous creepypasta villains in fanon lore, following the events of Julie Insanity.
Julie’s presence is marked by gore, static distortion, and psychological torment. Her twisted smile and screeching laughter echo through the hijacked footage, creating an unnerving atmosphere that caused the episode to become a staple of ARG-style lost media horror.
Appearance[]
Julie in the Gumball Hijack Incident 2026 appears as a corrupted and blood-soaked version of her original self from Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. Her most striking features are her missing right eye, replaced by a black, bleeding void, and her bloodstained hands that drip constantly, as though she has been tearing through flesh.
She wears her usual punk outfit but with several changes:
- A torn black leather jacket with stains along the sleeves.
- A white shirt with a “No Symbol” logo, often glitching in and out.
- Blue jeans and heavy black boots, smeared with blood.
- Her once bright-green hair appears duller and uneven, clumped with blood at the tips.
- She carries her pink keytar, but in this incident, the instrument is jagged, glitching, and sometimes doubles as a weapon.
Her facial expression is twisted into a maniacal, permanent grin with bloodshot eyes. In moments of distortion, her body glitches between frames, appearing both cartoonish and hyper-realistic, adding to her horrific aura.
