GORILLAZ: THE G FILES (CRACK(ER)POT theories) is a book full of Gorillaz theories that the author has came up with, because she has a lot on her mind, and has nothing better to do than to theorize about Gorillaz.
This book is full of shocking, seri...
Before we get into the actual theories. This is something that I noticed, and certainly something that I think will be relevant in Gorillaz later on. As already mentioned in the Rise of The Ogre, "23" is a number that not only pops up often in Gorillaz. But it pops up often in life.

Here's the page where they mentioned all the "23" references in life. Murdoc doesn't seem convince, and he even convinced the narrator to not be convinced. But I am convinced. I do think that 23 has relevancy, and it certainly wasn't something that they had forgotten about.

The characters are often seen wearing "23" on their clothes. 2-D was "23" when "Self-Titled" was first released. Noodle was created along with "23" other kids. "Demons Days" was released internationally on May "23rd". In these Plastic Beach promos, all of the characters are holding up signs with the number "23".
But Humanz ALSO has the numer "23" involved, and not just in promotional arts either. I find it very interesting. Humanz is known and criticized for having so many collaborators. I counted up how many collaborators there were, because I wanted to prove how ridiculously large the number is. And well.....
1. Ben Mendelsohn 2. Vince Staples 3. Peven Everett 4. Popcaan 5. De La Soul 6. Danny Brown 7. Kelela 8. Grace Jones 9. D.R.A.M. 10. Anthony Hamilton 11. Mavis Staples 12. Pusha T 13.

At first I thought "23?! That's A LOT!!!" Then it hit me.....There's 23 collaborators.....23. There's no way this is just a coincidence. I think "Noel Gallagher" was on We Got The Power. But I don't think he's credited, so I don't count him.
I don't know what the number "23" means, but I have a strong feeling it's gonna be relevant, perhaps on the Gorillaz 23rd anniversary....Or, maybe we'll find out this phase.
