Look guys, the game is foreshadowing a future character!
Aren't you curious about how will this play out?
Share your art of what you think this character will be like!
I am so excited to have fun and adventure in Chapter 5's Flower World!

This has literally never happened. Yeah they just filled the whole of chapter 3 with Dess references for no reason, right?

Honestly the Chapter 2 Trucie scene is a pretty good analogy for the situation we are in, like Carol and Kris DO have a trucy but it was made while Dess was watching, Carol has no awareness of Dess being close despite how hard she searches for her, The Kris/Noelle trucie is probably very similar to the deal with Kris/Dess and i personally would find it pure pottery if Dess had opened up to Kris about Noelle in the same way Noelle opens up to Kris about Dess
>>
>>730048295
>>Dess had no definitive Knight tell for a reason, right?
We didn't know enough about Dess in chapter 1-2 to say anything, dumbass. She couldn't have ANY tells because the only exposure to her was through the mouths of people who only knew her before she disappeared.

Flowey/Asriel has all the minimum setup since the fucking demo, meanwhile Dess barely exists in chapter 1.

>>yeah, they just showed Kris doing a Chara impression for nothing, right?
It wasn't for nothing. It showed us that Kris is a person that can exist outside of our direct control.
>>chapter 2 showed Kris preparing dark worlds in advance for no reason, right?
It foreshadows they're on the scheme WITH the Knight.
>>Queen showed a Knife hologram for no reason, right?
How was this for nothing? A knife literally is used to open the Dark World.
>>Kris opened a fountain in front of us for a reason, right?
Yes, as part of the plan they're a part of.
>>Dess had no definitive Knight tell for a reason, right?
We didn't know enough about Dess back then. Now she has a tell. Many of them in fact.

All of that had a lot of meaning and builds on the broader theme of Darkners' service to Lightners dehumanizing and causing harm to them.

So, what's the non-Dess Knight explanation for what's going on with the Black Deer in the Mantle game?

It makes sense with Dess Knight since you can just assume the monster mirroring Kris is meant to represent the KNight, and it becomes that black deer just like the white robe becoming the deer represents Noelle.
So how does it work if Carol Knight or one of the other options?

Anon, all this bullshit is a narrative issue. Why did the story try so hard to point at Kris being the Knight when this was never true?

But it had almost zero meaning in terms of plot. In fact, it created an entirely wrong image of where the plot was going.

Semi related to this post but why does mini-Kris automatically slash the Knight?

Actually as I was writing this post I figured it'll probably be the Soul's fault.
Nevermind.

because the red soul is (You)
hence also why kris does not have their original soul

Probably because Asgore never took Frisk's soul and the entire room is an Undertale reference.

The game had a red flower for some hours, but that one got censored.
>>
>>730049985
Because it's Flowey and the souls besides the red one.

That's why I don't get why that fanart makes the golden flower look like Frisk/Chara. It's clearly meant to be Flowey. It should look like Asriel.

Whichever way the other flowers go, I think the Golden one really needs to be Flowey/Asriel like so it can be Ralsei's big character development.

Ralsei needs to be faced with the reality of what he was made as (a tool in the shape of someone else) and overcome it to become more of his own person.
The Shadow Crystal stuff will probably be tied to that so that he can get a super weapon. Hell, give him a scarf made of vines from the Flowey-like after whatever ordeal goes down.

That was back in Chapter 1 and 2 days. Post 3 all darkners are related to their lightners. Toby doesn't want to introduce major darkner characters and seven is a big number for characters.
>>
>>730051802
Eh, they could still make it work differently. Make it thorny or something.

>>730051832
That works instead too I suppose. Or I guess it could be something from Asgore depending on how the SHadow Crystal stuff goes down.

>>730051982
I'm not saying Flowey would have to be the boss, just that he'd be involved. Like maybe some bad shit goes down and he ends up dying or something and Ralsei takes a part of him as a way to be one with this "other him" type thing.

No it didn't? How did the whole Mike stuff even point you at anything? It was a grand total of 3 something lines that said Spamton didn't like a guy and thought he was untrustworthy.

Hell, all the Mike theories had Mike basically just do the same exact stuff as Tenna anyway.

There were funny skeletons, there was a tough royal guard called Undyne, there was a nerdy scientist called Alphys, there was a TV star called Mettaton, and there was a Queen who returned.

Early Mike theories gave him a Tenna role because people thought he was the gameshow host. Post Sweepstakes theories generally gave him the role Ramb got.

The implication that The Knight is hiding there is interesting for a few reasons. Kris doesn't really give a shit about hiding their involvement in the plan but Carol and The Knight are making an effort to hide from us.
The Knight probably isn't actually afraid of us. They laugh in Susie's face when she suggests they're weaker in the Light World, we know that they're capable enough to sprint across town with Undyne and they've been able to operate around town so far without issues. The Church Dark World was unambiguously made during the daytime, so we know that even that isn't an issue for them, like some have speculated.
Basically it supports the idea that The Knight is a real physically present person with an identity that has a reason to be hidden from us, even if we haven't met them before.

No, the variable that hides the deer is just called "toriel" because the generic monster sprite that's used (with a black palette) looks like Toriel
At this point I can't imagine Toriel being involved in any conspiracy, if she knew something about what happened to Dess and divorced Asgore anyway it would make her look really horrible.
The most I could see is if the Delta Rune code was entrusted to her, which is possible but seems unlikely (Toriel isn't anybody special in this universe and Asgore was presumably the one previously entrusted with the police code, it would be strange for two of the codes to have been held by one family). And this is all assuming that the codes on the Shelter were a thing before Dess disappeared, and not something put on afterward to stop anyone else from snooping around in there.

>>730056846
We know that the phone is Carol because we overheard the conversation and can infer based on how we see the situation play out. But it's not something out in the open, they're still trying to hide it from us.
Kris isn't trying very hard to hide the plan from us but Carol probably told them to wipe the phone so we couldn't find out like that and share that information with anyone.

A lot of variables and sprites have dumb names, too. Like Asgore’s sprite and the constant piss jokes within. Not EVERYTHING in code is a hidden lore fact. Some is just as simple as Toby naming something based on its visual look.

Personally, I see Chapter 5's dark world having 2 possibilities. Either just the flower shop, or the whole festival will get turned into a dark world. If it's the festival, chapter 4 shows us that Asgore's flowers are going to be all over town as decoration. So that aspect is unavoidable.

>they headcannoned that she has to be the second hero
No, she's The Girl (the other Girl).
She just has too many other things going on in the story to also be The Knight, and The Knight has too much that directly points to Dess and nobody else. The most direct evidence pointing to Noelle as the Knight specifically is the unused text implying that The Knight froze Undyne, but even that's not really Noelle-exclusive when Carol and The Knight more generally are also associated with cold/ice/snow.
It's a better theory than Carol or Rudy being The Knight but it still has too much to overcome and it's still just Dess.
>she's the most likely person to have made the ch2 fountain with what we know of the situation
That's really hard to square with the fact that Queen caught The Knight making the fountain on-camera, did not identify them as Noelle, and seems certain that they left after making the fountain without doing anything in the Cyber World at all.
The closet also has no reason to exist if it was just Noelle who made the fountain.

>the whole festival will get turned into a dark world
For a Dark World to form, it seems like the darkness from the fountain needs to be able to completely fill a space. Every example of a Dark World we've seen has been contained to a single room or indoor space, and when a door to the outside is left open the darkness harmlessly disperses past the threshold, even at night.
The festival seems to take up the entire town. I don't see how it could possibly become a Dark World unless The Roaring happens.

the knight in ch2 split immediately after creating the fountain, nobody got a good glimpse of them

the creation of the fountain could've been
>noelle and berdly set up in the lab
>noelle goes to the server closet and creates the fountain

that's still consistent with what we know from ch2, the biggest question would be if creating a fountain makes an actual sound, since berdly would've heard it if it does

Exactly, it would be strange for the game to establish this if The Knight was Noelle, who did not actually leave the computer lab. Even if Queen couldn't identify them, she and everyone else in Cyber World seem confident that The Knight is no longer around.
>we know noelle and berdly were already in the computer lab when it happened because they already had their study stuff set up
I agree.
>noelle goes to the server closet and creates the fountain
>immediately goes back to berdly
Okay but why, how does that work?
Noelle falls into a trance somehow and does that for some reason and doesn't remember it?
Berdly doesn't notice Noelle going back and forth from the closet while it's exploding?
>the biggest question would be if creating a fountain makes an actual sound
It seems pretty spectacular, but we see at the end of Chapter 2 that Toriel and Susie can sleep through it happening right next to them, so it must not be that crazy.
I can buy The Knight making a fountain in the closet without being detected, and the smoke fills the room too fast for Noelle and Berdly to react or realize what's going on while they're distracted by their project. But if it was Noelle doing it in the middle of working on their project, it's harder to believe Berdly wouldn't have noticed.

I really don't think that's going to happen for a lot of reasons, we've gotten pretty direct foreshadowing that Chapter 5 is going to have Asgore as the chapter villain and it's going to focus a lot on "roots" (their family history and what happened with Dess)

>Amalgams are shown to be able to shapeshift
>They are created using determination, the substance that enables the creation of darkworlds. The shadow crystals being pretty much confirmed to be containers of determination only further solidifies the connection the knight has to determination and thus being an amalgam.
>It would explain why the knight is kept secret, Carol running unethical experiments and creating abominations like these would be a major cause for concern
>The knight is animalistic while also clearly being sapient, traits amalgams have.
>This would explain why the knight has different voices. A shrill scream, a Noelle like yelp, and a laugh that sounds like friend. Amalgams have weird voices.
>Amalgams are really strong so it's no wonder why it was able to carry Undyne so easily.
>The knight has an affinity towards Kris because it views them as a comrade in arms against Carol's oppressive hand.
>A lightner being created and treated as an object (darkner) with no freedom or agency of its own is the perfect set up for an emotional ending. An ending with Susie forgiving the knight and allowing it to live with her in castle town.

The knight is capturing people to take their powers. It is also opening dark fountains to empower the soul. Together, the empowered soul and empowered knight will go into the depths and find Dess.

Sorry, I assumed you were working with a room temperature IQ. I've noted that it's lower than that.
Why would the bead toy, which is never referenced with a reference of hell, never is described as a tail, and never is said to crawl, be the tail of hell with a spade tip in an earlier iteration? The hospital beads are a reference to the main characters on a supposedly set path, as indicated by the beads off the rail in the weird route, and Kris described as a Dark Bead. There's no justification as to why the bead toy would ever have been considered to have a tip because it's not a tail. Everyone but you seem capable of understanding basic analogy of the bead toy.

>what if the game was less interesting because... FUCKING FRIENDFAGS BRO
there's more in favor of the tail of hell being related to FRIEND than there is it being something arbitrary like the hospital beads for the sole reason that they're both composed of circles. the hospital beads represent the prophecy's participants and, to humor you for a second, it "taking crawl" and being "the tail that must not be followed" from a storytelling perspective using what we know would literally just be "the prophecy is bad but it's happening!! it's still happening bro!" which is not only redundant and pointless narratively as Chapter 4 already makes this incredibly clear, there's Organikk dialogue contrasting the tale that must be followed (blatantly the Prophecy) with the tail that must not be followed (which you propose is also the prophecy, or specifically its participants). what would be the point in using Organikks, probably the NPCs with the most "cryptic foreshadowing"-esque dialogue in the game, to foreshadow nothing and state the same thing twice? to use contrast to repeat what the player already knows instead of using it to reference a motif that has become increasingly more prominent yet still hard to pin down? why would the FRIEND - Cat Petterz associations and storytelling be wasted in favor of one interactable and a bit of flavor text? Toby Fox isn't a retard, he made his point with the beads and the tail of hell is something different
>>
>>730063790
That would only apply if the characters were calling the knight a they/them EXCLUSIVELY. They do not. Ralsei, the one who knows the most about the prophecy, calling the knight an it is extremely damning evidence against dessknight. Unless her pronoun privileges somehow got removed, there is no reason to believe Dess or frankly any other lightner is the knight other than an amalgam.

my point is that he, contrary to what people seem to believe, isn't the sort for arbitrary misdirection and le epic subversion for the sake of subversion at the cost of his intentional storytelling. the Mike shit wasn't misdirection, it was just fandom pattern recognition gone wild because people were given 4 years to pick the game apart and speculate about things because Toby's a slow fuck

Carol Knight is definitely a misdirection for people playing the game casually. It's doing the same beats Kris Knight had.
Dess Knight might be a misdirection like how the Gerson Statue was in chapter 4. This whole thing so far is suspiciously too similar to the Flowey/Asriel twist.

Player Angel and Noelle Angel might be both correct at the same time.

It could be too similar to the Flowey/Asriel twist, because it's supposed to be exactly like the Flowey/Asriel twist.
Dess and Asriel are nearly exactly mirrored in their roles. Just like how Asriel was the boy lost for good who haunted the entire narrative, so is Dess.

This whole discussion is about how Toby is doing constant misdirections with the story.
>>
>>730065335
Looking at Undertale, he's interested in Determination and its ability to time travel to different timelines, and the dark world phenomenon
The metaphysics of the Deltarune world seem to allow for dark worlds, but not significant amounts of determination. Thus, the prophecy cannot be deviated from easily. However, the player has access to more determination, so they can be sent to the Deltarune world as an experiment to see if it can change such a large event like the Roaring.
It's "his Deltarune" because he knows the path the story takes without the player, and the player was injected into the scenario by his hands, making him responsible for whatever happens to the world. The player getting snatched by the roaring squad before getting a body is immaterial to him, as it still allows the player to interact with the fate of the world by being a captive of the roaring squad for the time being.
>>
>>730065569
>Half of what Spamton said about Chapter 3 was meaningless
like what? the Mike stuff was followed up with Tenna and the Mike room, his rambling about Tenna was contrasted with Tenna's rambling about Spamton and was meant to show how bad their relations had become. it was less prophetic than Jevil talking about Chapter 2 but it was more important to his character
>Some stuff around the Knight's role in chapter 1 probably got retconned now.
you can say that, but you're going to have to point to something specific. the Knight's role in chapter 1 is simple and hasn't been contradicted by any new information. they made the dark world and Jevil, with knowledge of the Knight, told King about them, though King never met them.
>I think FRIEND will just be a generic mook for someone more important
disagree, i don't think there'd be so much dedicated to it and Cat Petterz and all of the sweepstakes stuff that was followed up on in Chapter 3 and 4 if it wasn't at least a secret boss

Deltarune will in fact have only one ending, the world being destroyed. The catch is, that a NEW Deltarune will be created. His Deltarune, a world where he will be able to exist properly again. The whole game we see the creation and destruction of dark worlds, so here we will see the destruction and creation of a light world. Gaster is able to create a copy, but he needs us, the light of our soul to color the new world. This is why the weird route is merely "weird", and not necessarily a problem. Even if the new world is warped by our actions, it's still a world that Gaster can exist in.

This is what really makes Knight debates so fucking tiring for me. The thing with CarolKnight is that it's both a casual trap, but also a lorehead trap. If you get too deep into DessKnight you can actually end up becoming a CarolKnightfag because all the DessKnight foreshadowing now looks "too obvious" to you. DessKnightfags have a lot of strong evidence but the average DessKnightfag is comically inept at articulating any of it. I don't even care who the Knight is anymore. Until we get new content, nobody is convincing anyone of anything.

The Forgotten Man is Another Him, perhaps the one Gaster wants forgotten so he can override him and take his place. If the Forgotten Man isn't forgotten, with the eggs letting him manifest in the light world, Gaster's plan can't work. There can't be two of him at the same time.

It about the picture the game creates with all the implications.

>his rambling about Tenna was contrasted with Tenna's rambling about Spamton and was meant to show how bad their relations had become
His rambling called Tenna a criminal who should not be trusted, and considering the way he was treated by Queen and her servants (throwing him in acid and all), one would expect the same sort of story going on.
And now comes the part you say
>you're just mad it isn't what you had in your had
It's what A LOT OF PEOPLE had in their heads. Look at any fan made Tenna compilations and you'll see the Gangster Tenna interpretation was the most popular one by far. This yaoi shit was only done by fujos.
Just changing Spamton's line to "THE MAN IS GLOOBY! GLOOBY!" would have made wonders for the expectations.

>the Knight's role in chapter 1 is simple and hasn't been contradicted by any new information
Chapter 1 makes you think the knight showed up, thrashed the throne room and put King in charge, while Jevil just got Gaster'ed.
King's new dialogue completely flipped what was implied.

>i don't think there'd be so much dedicated to it and Cat Petterz and all of the sweepstakes stuff that was followed up on in Chapter 3 and 4 if it wasn't at least a secret boss

How about something different.

What theories were you just dead wrong on?
Pic related. I gotta live with my bum ass that pushed Third Entity stuff hard all through the gap after Chapter 2. Thought for sure the SOULless Kris had to be a different thing but that was entirely wrong.
Kris Knight itself was also wrong, but at least it had some validation in that Kris wasn't literally the Knight, but was doing the Knight's dirty work for it.

>>730066131
The egg man exists outside of the normal events of Deltarune like Gaster and the player, and seems to be trying to evoke Kris' past and inform the player of Kris' past simultaneously. It's possible that this is a way of altering Deltarune that Gaster didn't plan for as a variable, and an uncontrolled variable can alter an experiment in a way that you cannot make an accurate conclusion after the fact as a confounder. If the hypothesis is "inserting a player changes/won't change the outcome of the Roaring", and there's an egg man altering both Kris and the player, your experiment instead is testing "inserting a player that is influenced by the egg man changes/won't change the Roaring" which is a much weaker result.
Who he is I have no clue. Unlike Undertale Gaster, who is remembered but not mentioned outside of fun event followers, the egg man is forgotten. Forgotten by who, maybe Kris, but who knows who else. Not enough data.

>people would have been happy
People are happy about the Mikes, they're very popular. "Normal" people think that acknowledging fan theories gone wild and having fun with them is cool and good. Most people are not bitter autists like you upset that your interpretation was wildly off base. Most people like that Mike was a special thing and not a generic forgettable mid-boss like Sweet Cap'n Cakes.

>But don't tell me all the Kris Knight hints weren't a misdirection. Neither shit like the green dinosaur question. He is definitely doing misdirection on purpose
Misdirection is a fundamental part of storytelling and entertainment. A completely straightforward story is predictable and boring.
Nobody told you that Toby has never misled his audience, you were told that Toby is not a hack who applies it arbitrarily for its own sake, just to pull the rug out from under you and call you a fucking idiot for going along with what the story told you. Misdirection serves a purpose.
Kris opening a fountain at the end of Chapter 2 is meant to put the idea that they COULD be The Knight in the player's mind, which creates tension throughout Chapter 3, up until the end of the Chapter when the real Knight shows up.
Kris ripping out the SOUL, pulling a knife and looking evil at the camera at the end of Chapter 1 serves to definitely establish that You and Kris are not the same, and to put the idea that Kris might have their own malicious agenda in the player's mind. Even if it's immediately played off as a joke at the start of Chapter 2, the player no longer trusts Kris and this separation has been established, setting up the end of Chapter 2 and future conflict between You and Kris.
Tenna asking questions about Kris's personal life that Kris would know but You do not is another intentional device to create dissonance between You and Kris. The game is not saying "haha, got you, fucking idiot," it's giving you an uncomfortable reminder that You are not Kris.

>It about the picture the game creates with all the implications.
that's more the fault of the gap between releases than anything else, something not being what the fandom convinced you it'd be is not the same as it being meaningless. not only was Spamton unhinged and shouldn't have been taken at face value regardless, Tenna was a jackass, just not a mobster. fans had reason to believe he'd be called Rook and there'd be a Bishop in the church dark world because the previous rulers were called King and Queen but i don't think it's the game's fault that it isn't just what the fans expected it to be. the storytelling that lead fans to think what they did still had a purpose
>Chapter 1 makes you think the knight showed up, thrashed the throne room and put King in charge, while Jevil just got Gaster'ed. King's new dialogue completely flipped what was implied.
>* It was he, the clown, that told me the Knight's brilliance...
>* About the fountains' glory, and how I would rise to power.
that doesn't really retcon it at all, unless there's something else you're talking about. it directly states that the King was fated to rise to power, likely as part of the prophecy; King didn't have to meet the Knight in-person to waltz in and claim his new role as the only king after the other 3 Kings were deposed.
>* Once, all four of us ruled together, but when the Knight arrived, everything changed...

>* But, recently, a strange knight appeared...
>* And three of the kings were locked away.
>* The remaining king put him and his strange son into power.
the more i look at the old dialogue the more i believe you're mistaken and that there's no contradiction. and Jevil's knowledge is a separate deal entirely, the Shadow Crystals are still a mystery and will be elaborated upon in Chapter 5 as Toby teased in his most recent post

The PlayStation achievements only exist because of a Sony mandate and "COMPLETE WITHOUT ISSUE" is so vague that people were schizoing out about "ISSUE" being an anagram for "Susie" up to release. Many of the other achievements have multiple conditions that are only related in obtuse or overly literal ways (including some related to the Eggs). I don't really think it means anything, in absence of anything else to go on.
"ISSUE" could easily be talking about Kris's "issues," since The Forgotten Man seems to be intimately related to Kris's traumatic past.

>What theories were you just dead wrong on?
I was an Alvin Knight believer. Not hard committed to it but I thought it was the best fit for the evidence that we had, which I stand by. It definitely wasn't Kris and Dess was a total shot in the dark, sure Dess had a lot of "themes" going for her but so did Alvin through Gerson, which the game delivered on in a different way in Chapter 4.

The wildest theory I'm committed to for Chapter 5 is that Toby's going to just do the ending of Undertale, with a Flowey Darkner as the secret boss (who's actually just FRIEND so he can really fuck with Kris) and Asgore gets fucking killed after you beat him, either by Flowey/FRIEND or The Knight.

>>730066739
>Chapter 1 makes you think the knight showed up, thrashed the throne room and put King in charge, while Jevil just got Gaster'ed.
No, Chapter 1 made me think the Knight showed up, imparted some simple mind-shattering secret to Jevil, and let him run off raving about it, and King overthrowing the rest was the fated result of the Knight's interference.
I was 100% clear on King not having met the Knight personally, since King had a bone to pick with Lightners and thought that would somehow impress the Knight, meaning he understood all of jack and shit.

i feel like player angel and noelle angel could be one in the same. after seeing the weird route doubling down on influencing noelle, i'd say there's a good chance she becomes the next vessel, and if that were to happen, she'd probably get a massive power up like when a monster absorbs a human soul, "a horrible beast with unfathomable power". noelle's wings will sprout forth once our fusion is complete towards the end of the route, and by THAT time she'll already be mindbroken enough to follow our will unquestioningly, unlike that jaundice chuuni gremlin dreemurr.

she'll get to sprout wings and fly like she wanted to in her "dream" in chapter 2, she'll get to make it snow whenever she wants like she said in the winter newsletter, and she'll get to drag kris around on a leash if that little shit isn't dead already.

That was because he was conning them the entire time. Spamton's entire plotline is predicated on the fact that the shit he sells is USELESS. It was ALWAYS useless. He is, and always has been, a scammer, a cheat, a charlatan. You thought Queen dunked him in the acid because he was a good worker who suddenly started getting worse results? No! It's because he was lying about something or other and as soon as he didn't have help from the other side everyone found out and was rightly pissed off about it.
Did you think he was seriously a totally honest guy who just happened to be down on his luck? You MEET the rest of his kind, the "functional" ones all sell worthless crap too!

>Player Angel vs Noelle Angel
These aren't necessarily contradictory
Noelle is definitely not "THE Angel" worshiped in the Hometown religion and addressed in The Prophecy. The Angel is depicted in The Prophecy, and Susie reacts to seeing it with confusion and bewilderment, apparently unsure of what she's even looking at. That's probably not a depiction of Noelle.
But Noelle could still fulfill the role of "The Angel" in some symbolic way, like how the legend in Undertale has multiple characters that could interpreted as fulfilling the role of "The Angel." The Prophecy speaks of the Three Heroes, along with "The Girl" separately. The Delta Rune depicts the Three Heroes represented by the triangles with The Angel above them; Noelle could be this fourth figure.
THE Angel is likely the player, in some sense. The Angel is described as watching over characters, guiding them, and using its power to light their way. We literally watch over the world from a top-down perspective (diegetically established several times in Chapter 3 alone), guide Kris and the others with our commands, and use "our power" to light up the dark and seal the fountains. "Raise Up Your Bat" makes the same allusion to "your heart" shall "guide you" and "shine you the way." The Titan combines four angelic wings with a realistic human face which gets replaced by a four-pointed star like a SAVE point. It's not too subtle.

That's because it has been months since the game came out, so most people just post their favorites and waifus. The demo of Chapter 1 and 2 is free, and the game should still be on sale. Now it's your chance to play it. If you enjoyed Undertale you will like this game. A lot of what made Undertale great is still present.

Jockington, who is "most popular guy in town" is a thematic contrasts with the fun gang who are lonely as shit before the events of the game.

I struggled to understand his motivation as a demon, since he appears to genuinely care about Catti. I think he just wants to be popular because before he was summoned to Hometown he existed in the same place of existence as Ralsei with nobody else for company.

But then, is Ralsei a demon too?

Expectations should consider what is plausible.
Asgore won't be a crazy mastermind who killed children in Deltarune, it'll be revealed whatever he did made sense with the information he had but didn't make sense for Toriel's perspective and that ruined their relationship, it's a fair and nuanced situation. No, Asgore won't save his marriage, he won't get Toriel back, they will go back to being on talking terms and be friendly to each other but not much else. He'll find love again much like Toriel's giving Kris a new bone daddy and everyone will be happy about it (for like 5 minutes until the game on track to the final act).

>>730094153
I don't think there's much time left in the game to develop ICE E, I can maybe see the pizza shop getting dark worlded, but ultimately the bunker is a lock, and ch5 seems to be in flower king, so it'd be ch6 or nothing unless there's a random ICE E darkner in a chapter

I wanna point out that the white mage nor the brown deer appear in board 3 despite the fact that Noelle is still extremely relevant to the story. I think the black deer being controllable by the player is foreshadowing for us taking control of Noelle like people were already anticipating, except it's Noelle in the Knight armor. The Kris slash might be because Kris is finally free from our control once we grab Noelle and he wants us dead.

Expanding on this, I don't think Mini Kris automatically slashes us. Kris is facing away from us for the entirety of the boards so his inputs on the controller are hidden from us. I think when we take control of the black monster Kris gains full control of Mini Kris and waits for is to get close so he can attack us, maybe thinking he can actually hurt us that way. The way the scene plays out means people can interpret it as an automatic action from the game Kris is playing, but I think Kris attacked us of his own volition.

Kris and The Knight aren't working together, they're friendly, in a anime rivals sort of way but you can't tell me that The Knight summoned a Titan and expected Kris to defeat it.

The Titan would've killed Kris and started the destruction of the world.

Why not?
He's already protected by the prophency.
>>
>>730097710
NTA but I think people are giving the prophecy way too much importance. Some characters might be aware of it but I doubt most of them would let it dictate their actions in the way you're describing. The prophecy might SAY that the heroes could win but there's no way to know until they actually fight it, and the player even being able to get a game over and leave the game that way means the prophecy is fallible.

The big problem is the goner maker section plus the fact the SOUL remembers Undertale.

It's not "You are literally Chara from Undertale"
It's "Chara" in Undertale was the player analogue, and the weird shit they say in the Genocide ending only really makes sense in the context of Toby trying to explain the diegetic justification for the player controlling Frisk
Deltarune is repeating the same setup without the confusing complexity of having this "demon" share an identity with a real character in the story. There's no middleman in Deltarune, it's just You and Kris. But You are still a person sitting in front of a computer and do not have a soul to put into the video game, you have to borrow Kris's.

Okay asriel
The result of years of artistd drawing chara wrong
>>
>>730106183
Ralsei is for the people who want a “surrogate-girl” femboy to dominate.
Asriel is for the people want a cool, but sensitive buddy who’s down for becoming “more than friends”.
At least that’s how I see it when observing the fandom.

Kek
Anyways its all due to the generic haircut and lack of details when people draw them, even kris sometimes looks like chara for the same reasons

Is this confirmed to be part of the question?

>>730108098
The ARG directly references the thank you scene from Chapter 4, so probably.

We are undoubtedly represented by a red [[HeartShapedObject]], but this is not just a physical red SOUL. The SOUL is something Kris can grab and pull out of their chest, trap in a cage and beat with a stick, but it is also and at the same time a metaphysical pointer that can interface with the game elements, get pulled "out of the game" and be teleported through walls.
If I wanted to be pedantic, I could also point out that the red [[HeartShapedObject]] in the intro sequence and Game Over screen is not the same sprite as the SOUL but a weirdly higher-resolution heart instead, perhaps reinforcing the idea that they are not the same object, but maybe that's a bit of a stretch.
If we're asking "why would Kris's SOUL get summoned" my answer would then be that it doesn't have to be, the red heart abstractly represents us and doesn't become Kris until we become Kris. But if that's not satisfying it also can just be Kris's SOUL, it seems pretty clear to me that Kris becoming our vessel was always the plan from the start.

The SOUL being Kris's is also a simpler solution because if the SOUL isn't Kris's, you have to answer the question "then what happened to Kris's SOUL?" and all the complications that come with that, like "where is Kris's SOUL now?," "how was Kris surviving without a SOUL?," "how did Kris lose their SOUL in the first place?," "why does Kris get hurt when the SOUL is damaged if it's not theirs?," etc.
I have not seen a convincing theory that explains what happened to Kris's SOUL and addresses these complications, so I will continue to support my interpretation and believe the game when it says "Kris's SOUL"

It's the most popular ship between the human protagonist of that game, which is the same reason they are horny for the other popular ships of Undertale, too.
>>
>>730109176
What are the top popular ship tags in Japan? Is Spamtenna also number 1 or does Krusie actually wins there?

>"how was Kris surviving without a SOUL?,"
Flowey can survive without a soul just fine. Kris was noted to be more zombie-like by Noelle, who has known him his entire life, which could be evidence that Kris was running on depleting determination fumes. The brain is where memories are stored, so it's not impossible for humans to function without a soul for a time.
Regardless, the library having books on souls and being cockblocked out likely has direct plot implications for Kris, which wouldn't make sense if Kris' soul is Kris' soul because that's just the default of how people be.
>"why does Kris get hurt when the SOUL is damaged if it's not theirs?,"
Why do Ralsei and Susie get hurt? Why don't they comment on the heart doing the bullet dodging? Why doesn't KO'ing Kris end the battle? Video game.

How the fuck is she Spongbob? She doesn't share anything with that character

Good catch I forgot to add them to the list

>>730109880
Krusie or Spamtenna are the popular ones. In Undertale it's Frans, Sanscest and Chasriel. The best way to check it is probably by pixiv tags.

I wouldn't tell people to read that no matter how relevant it was

>>730108897
>"how was Kris surviving without a SOUL?,"
My interpretation is that Kris only swapped SOULS the day the game started, just as the Knight and everything else showed up

Lightner weapons are just shit they keep with them. Susie's axe is a hairbrush, so the knife is almost certainly Kris's sword.
