    I don't think Chapter 4 will be a light world chapter. Toby Fox has said that Chapter 3 is going to be a weird chapter and that Chapter 4 will be more typical.

      I think that chapter 3 will end with us closing the dark fountain, and chapter 4 will, while being in the more standard order for chapters (lightworld then dark world then light world again), will actually have a much more substantial light world segment at the start. Chapter 3 would then be the odd one out because it's JUST a dark world, giving all its lightworld screentime to chapter 4, rather than chapter 4 being just a light world.

    It's not just about soul order in Deltarune being inverse to Undertale: Deltarune's darkworlds (based on the two chapters we have) are an inverse to Undertale's progression. Think about it, the 1st darkworld of Deltarune we see has a castle near the end, and we fight a king. Just like in Undertale near the end of the game, we go through a castle to fight a king(which is Asgore). Deltarune's 2nd darkworld is a cyber themed one, with some areas sharing similarities with the Core and the area around MTT hotel. We already know that Spamton Neo is very much connected to Mettaton Neo, but even Queen shares some similar features to Mettaton EX. And so far what we know about Chapter 3, it will be based on entertainment. Some of the assets we seen of Chapter 3 are very reminiscent of some of the stage areas Mettaton uses in Hotland. My guess that other parts of Chapter 3's darkworld will be based off of Hotland. So, instead of Undertale's progression of leaving the Ruins and going to Asgore's castle, we're going in reverse order... very interesting indeed...

      This is an interesting theory, the only issue is that this would indicate a boss connected to Muffet and the Purple Soul would be seen in Chapter 3 instead of Undyne and the Green Soul. Yet we know Undyne is highly likely to be involved in Chapter 3 in some way and if we are using the Photoshop Flowey/fallen human items soul order, the Green Soul would be next instead. This may be why many fan-made Chapter 3 secret bosses seem divided on using the Green Soul or Purple Soul. I'm still leaning towards the Green Soul being used but we'll see.

    This is a fun theory, but I have one added idea: In almost every instance of seeing souls in Undertale, it always seems like there's a missing one. There are 6/7 souls in captivity, and one empty space. Flowey, in control of 6 souls, still remains soulless. Heck, even in the spring newsletter, there's flowey, a soulless flower, at the end of the chain. Not to mention, the ACTUAL first soul is gone. The eighth chapter won't have the sky blue soul. It won't have a soul at all. The Eighth chapter will be the Soulless chapter.

      Orange and cyan hazards appear together frequently in Undertale, so it wouldn't be crazy to put them together in Deltarune. Small problem: They mostly show up in Hotland and the CORE, and we're supposedly doing Undertale backwards, so that would be too early for Chapter 6.

I'm not saying it's impossible for Undyne giving us some kind of item that will help us fight the secret boss is impossible, but it makes no sense for that to be the specific reason for why Kris opened the door, since they'll do that even if we don't fight any secret bosses, and doing so would make no sense if we don't end up fighting the secret boss.

    @TheNotSoGreat1 4 місяці тому +37

    Interesting theory but I do have a few points I’d like to just discuss
    One, chapter 4 will almost definitely have a dark world. Toby mentioned it being a more regular chapter and the fact it is raining at one point implies a time skip. If I had to guess, we’ll enter the dark world while it’s raining then it will be sunny once we close the fountain (since that’d be funny since water fountain).
    Two, I personally think purple will come before green. Undyne had spears in Undertale to give but she has no reason to give us a spear in Deltarune. Also, Kris opens the fountain no matter if you talk to seam or not so they wouldn’t have let Undyne in the dark world for that reason. I personally think, when mentioning the “next” boss, he was talking about the next bods he thought we’d face. He might not have known that Kris, since he seems to know more about the knight, would make a fountain which could mean we find the shadow mantle in chapter 3. While this does rely on the fact that Kris isn’t the knight, I think it makes sense
    Anyway, still really enjoyed the video so good job and sorry for the rant

    • @HDDStrider

      adding on to point 2, Kris would have no reason to believe that the next boss would make them have a green soul. its unlikely they even know what the green soul does.
      also, assuming they somehow do know what the green soul is and that its next on the list, they wouldnt know Undyne gives out spear shields to protect yourself whilst green. its a very iffy "theory"

      So Kris can be fully capable of pre-planning chapter 3's dark world by making Susie stay over by slashing the tires, but not capable of predicting Undyne's dark world form? Imo, it seems like Kris has some sort of foresight of the events to come.
      Having said that though, I still entirely disagree with the theory, especially when it suggests that chapter 4 will be entirely in the light world (going off of Toby's own statements, chapter 3 is implied to be very distinct to the first two chapters, with chapter 4 returning to the expected norm)

    I honestly think Deltarune's dark worlds will mirror Undertale in reverse.
    Chapter 1: The Card Kingdom, mirrors New Home, it is a kingdom whose king is set on the freedom of his race
    Chapter 2: The Cyber World, mirrors Core, since it is made of technology and features a hot robot and the NEO armor
    Chapter 3: The TV/Living room world, this mirrors Hotland since it would likely represent a combination of normal terrain and technology (though the green soul fight does not occur here, except maybe when Undyne chases you into it at the end of her fight? It could use the purple soul instead)
    Chapter 4: The Church world (since Rudy says he would try to go to church on Sunday, and Chapter 3 I think takes place Saturday night), mirrors Waterfall. This is where we meet Gerson and learn about the Angel in Undertale, while in Deltarune, Alvin is the head of the church that worships the Angel.
    Chapter 5: This one I'm not sure about, but if it mirrors Snowdin it would probably have to do with Sans and Papyrus, the Holiday family, or ICE-E. I believe in the Papyrus Knight theory, and if we use chess theory here this would also be the Knight chapter. The blue soul does occur in Snowdin, so this would fit. Other than that I'm not sure.
    Chapter 6: My theory is that this will be the Gaster chapter and take place in the bunker, which would be parallel to the Ruins. It would likely be a more treacherous dark world that Gaster has to guide you through like Toriel guides you through Undertale. I should also note that this could include both the Orange and Cyan souls, since Gaster was shown to be adept with both color's powers when building the CORE defenses and the two seem more like counterparts to each other (keep moving vs. don't move)
    Chapter 7: This would mirror the Surface and include a fight against the Angel, since Gerson says the Angel will come from the surface in Undertale. This could possibly include the Roaring and the dark and light world becoming one.

And in the newsletter, what do we see after the four flowers in a row? Flowey. Every time the flowers appear they are in the same order, yes, but he is always at the end. I believe your 8th chapter + 8th soul theory, with one minor tweak. We won't play as a blue soul, we'll play as golden. Now to be fair we are probably about 10 years away from seeing the end of this game so I have no idea how flowey is going to tie into everything, but i know for a fact that he is going to have some involvement. And this just proves that point. Great video btw, this theory is amazing 💖💖

    I really like this theory! It does have a lot of proof to it, and it has some neat connections to it. I like the idea that we will be facing new soul colors in the last few chapters. My idea is that with the orange soul, you'll have to hit the white attacks to not get hurt, and you want to avoid the green attacks. And the cyan soul can't move, but you can move something else to push it away.

      On a run after a Reset, Toriel mentions feeling a sense of deja vu whenever a human falls in the undeground, and some of Asgore's flavour text implies he knows about saving. Alphys also mentions extracting the determination used for Flowey and the amalgamates from "the human souls." It's unlikely that determination is exclusive to the red soul. The six humans before Frisk most likely just got defeated due to giving up after many deaths.

      Nah, red isn't determination. Ball game in undertale states that Red means ,,being yourself", so its something about player vessel. Determination is propably GOLDEN. In Undertale "Determination" is never written Red BUT once in true lab it's highlighted in Gold. The same Gold colour of save point(that is stated by Toby to be physical representation of determination), and the same Golden colour that Flowey's leaves have(flower that was injected with raw determination). It would be huge move from toby, to cover all that in 8th deltarune chapter and finally reveal all secrets behind determination and Red soul. Hope i will still be around in 2078 when chapter 8th drops☠️

In some secret chapter, the final boss may be Kris himself, with his true soul (the navy blue one) fighting against the player's soul (the red one).

    Personally i don't think that an 8 soul color would happened, instead I'd think after cyan it would loop back to red.
    After all technically, chara had a red soul, and if we go by that logic undertales soul order would go red, cyan, orange, blue, purple, orange, yellow, red.
    So by that logic theirs already 8 souls.
    Also orange goes before the final chapter, meaning story structure wise, that's when everything goes to shit, Like the roaring.
    But if I we're to follow your logic, I'd believe that you're sky soul would be dlc or a hidden ending or path unlocked by doing either snowgrave-esk routes, the eggs, or finding the secret bosses. But with the songs, spelling WD.Gaster I'd think that the final bosses track could fit that mold, or some form of bonus content after completing the game, like the doorway at the edge of town, or dlc as previously mentioned.
    Anyways, good video, sorry if this comment just comes of as rude or a monotonous block of text.
    Have a great day.

    . The Dark Blue soul means Integrity, so Spamton being the opposite of that makes perfect sense.
    . The Purple soul means Perseverance, so Chapter 3's secret boss will probably have a procrastinative/laid-back personality.
    . The Green soul means Kindness, so Chapter 4's secret boss will most likely have an uncouth/angry personality, akin to the Mad Dummy
    . The Yellow soul means Justice, so Chapter 5's secret boss will speculatively be an evil/corrupt character.
    . The Light Blue soul means Patience, so Chapter 6's secret boss is admittedly quite hard to speculate.
    . The Orange soul means Bravery, so Chapter 7's secret boss will be a character revolved around cowardice.
    This is could easily be proven wrong as soon as the next two chapters come out, so don't take my word for it.

    Since we're having some fun overthinking little details, I wanna give my own idea too
    Alternatively, I think Red might be the one without a pair. It's made clear Red has always been distinct from the rest. If you want to look into it further, the other souls have pairings too. Cyan and Orange are both given attack gimmicks instead of altering our soul, Blue and Purple are found in Waterfall, and while this one is much looser, Green and Yellow are both found in Hotland to a certain extent as well as both weapons having four hit reticles when used.
    Take it further to Your Best Nightmare. In the OST, the soul themes are not only put into pairs of two but are in the exact same pair order I give out. The only conclusion I could draw from this is that Red's pairing might be... Red.
    We often brush off the fact that Chara and Frisk are both red souls, but I feel like we could draw up some point that there *isn't* a different color to pair with red and that is will always circle back to itself. Two red souls fell into the underground, so it would only be right to consider both when theory crafting. The fact Flowey constantly compares Frisk to Chara also helps reinforce this idea. Determination, Power, Ball Game-- whatever you want to define red, it seems to always be an exception.
    But what does that mean for Chapter 1? Well, I'm not entirely sure. But it's something I want to share my thoughts on and see if other people can see where I'm thinking with this. Perhaps that second red might refer to us and our discarded vessel. We might become the final opponent, at least to Kris. Because really, who's the one in control?

    c1: Jevil RED
    c2: spamton/spamton neo YELLOW
    c3: Undyne GREEN
    also c3 will happen in a tv world which is confirmed
    c4: we didnt see mettaton who used the yellow soul before c2 was released and we got spamton a dif version of mettaton so
    i predict that c4 will have a different version of muppet
    c4 probably will mostly be in the overworld
    c5: either sans or papyrus
    that may be crazy but i have an idea of what c5 will be:
    paparus will be the knight or just a main boss
    and sans will be a secret boss (i hope atleast)
    we got hints that we will see paparus soon thats what sans said
    and he had history of being a knight before
    but i have no idea where c5 will happen
    c6: is so far in time its useless to speculate but if toby continues with this pattern there will be a secret boss that uses the orange soul gimmick which is unknown only some fangames used either the "always move" gimmick but its unofficial so the gimmick may be completely different
    c7: may or may not be released before 2030 at this point so its dumb to speculate that far but we will get a secret boss that will use the cyan soul gimmick
    i have a theory that since its an inversion of the red soul cyan soul will be red soul but with inverted controls but that is just a theory a game theory

    But then, something strange happened. There was a Green SOUL.
    It had two mechanics: A Parry mechanic, where you press Z to parry green bullets, and it's main mechanic, the typical shield.
    You use arrow keys to move, but you use WASD to control the shield. It's like a mix of red and green. Which is also kind of ironic, considering how you can't move with the Green SOUL because it is the opposite of the Red SOUL.
