While it is widely known that no self-consistent model of a pulsar magnetosphere can be constructed under the ideal-MHD condition, the reason for this (and for the real global structure of the magnetosphere) is not clear. It is presently shown that, in the pulsar magnetosphere, the violation of the ideal MHD condition by conspicuous transfield motion and nonzero field-aligned electric field is due to relativistic large inertia. In addition, an axisymmetric numerical model with tenuous plasma suggests that a vacuum-like electric field and a closed current circuit develop in the region of the transfield flow.
