The Name

Like, Darwin, Anais, Richard and Nicole manage to successfully bring Gumball back, only to discover that he's not fully back, he's now half Gumball, half Zach.

In the name, after finding out that his real name is Zach, Gumball forms a cheesy, boastful, stereotypical winner protagonist persona to fit the name. However, soon it's revealed that Zach by itself is a separate personality from Gumball himself, and is trying to take over by transforming his memories where he loses into ones where he wins. However, he is stopped when Gumball finds a memory where he already wins, that being the arcade game from the beginning of the episode. Then he types the name Gumball and Zach is destroyed for good. But the important thing to know is that Zach is the antithesis of everything Gumball represents. He's the anti Gumball.

Zach when he's at school rides on a skateboard and hypes up everything with his presence, contrast to Gumball who usually complains about school with Darwin.

Zach at home demotes his family to minor roles in the house, making Anais and Darwin sleep in areas outside their bedroom so he can have it all to himself, making Richard sign away his position as man of the house, even beating Nicole who tried to teach him a lesson by beating him at anything he chose, which was being obnoxious.

When Zach transforms Gumball's memories, he twists them in a way that makes it look like Gumball always comes out on top, when he really doesn't. Zach by design is made so that Gumball is shaped to be a winner every time, but that isn't what Gumball is. He's flawed, imperfect, struggling, just like you or me. The opposite of everything Zach is. The only way Gumball could beat him was finding something he couldn't taint, something he already won. And when he does, he claims that victory as his own, not Zach's. As it shows that even the lowest loser can accomplish something if they put their mind to it, and you don't have to be someone who always succeeds to win at something. This is why Zach is the ideal anti Gumball, and by extension, the ideal anti human.

Ok so in the name they changed gumball's name from zach to gumball, but in that other episode (idk the one where they don't know their neighbor's name), gumball had signed zach as the person delivering the package.
