To be fair, you only kill Flowey because HE ruined the plan that you both plotted: killing everything. He destroyed Asgore's SOUL, so you had no way to leave, and there was nothing left for you to do except kill him. Maybe out of anger, maybe because you were already planning to kill him from the start, but he could've prevented his own death if he didn't destroy Asgore's SOUL, trapping both of you there until, eventually, you reach the conclusion that the only monster left to kill is yourself. So you do. But maybe, after you kill Flowey, you use the information Asriel gave you about Chara in the Pacifist route to subconsciously hallucinate that Chara is there with you. You're clearly already insane long before this point, so hearing voices would make sense. *Chara* probably isn't the one who kills you, but while you hallucinate, you imagine that they're the one stabbing you, not realizing that you've actually stabbed yourself. Then, you die. The game closes, and you get another chance to reset. Chara doesn't take Frisk's in-game SOUL, but you sold your *actual* SOUL to them the moment you decided to take a life. You were already long gone at that point, you just didn't know it yet.

This is random, but I something I didn't really think about in Undertale until recently was the fact that Sans is a character foil to Flowey. While Sans has a more traditionally frightening character design with his skeletal features, he actually tries to help you out in a way and only attacks you when you're beyond saving. Meanwhile Flowey has a more cute and appealing design (not including Photoshop Flowey) but tries to hurt you quite often and attacks you when you don't kill or save everyone. He only helps you when you become soulless like him. Even in this video at 3:04 when both these characters are mentioning that you're not human, they're starring in the opposite directions.

ah true, that's so interesting to look at

Flowey is a character I boomeranged so hard when I learned about context to him in game. Going from hatred to pity. Especially since, I usually give merit to characters or folks who TRY to be better. And to Flowey's credit, he tried in the beginning to FEEL something, ANYTHING and hell in Genocide HE'S the one to feels like this is overkill and doesn't need to happen on the surface as well. Flowey, in any run I feel has something about him I can't help but feel something for in a positive light. That detail in the Genocide route to the Neutral Route where you learn he talks to Papyrus a lot. Sure maybe it's manipulation but even though he says he saw the world as effectively as a game at this point, why still make the effort for Papyrus in particular? Or a better example, dialogue from the canceled app. Where Toriel gets drunk off her ass during a holiday party and Flowey, predictably, describes how pathetic she was but yet, still helped her home and even put water at her bedside. I don't know if Flowey was puzzled as to why he did so or was a tsundere about it but Flowey despite the shit he's done is not all bad. He as Asriel (and imo Chara) tried to do good but it ended so, so badly. Hell in the end of True Pacifist when Flowey BEGS you not to reset the world and if you do, take his memories too, that says a lot. It felt like due to you in that run, Flowey got much needed closure and maybe would've lived on as a mischievous flower or a atoning one or so but, we won't know but have to let everyone live their lives and to move on to our next journey.

@@Shilsey i love him so much bro the fact that hes so misunderstood byt the fandom and gets overshadowed by sans in terms of popularity hurts me so much. people vastly miss the point of his character constantly trying to separate "asriel" and "flowey" as two different entities when they just arent. asriel didnt become "flowey", asriel created flowey as a persona. functionally to hide his identity and also as a coping mechanism, since its less painful for him to dissociate himself from his identity

And that's why I never ever started a Genocide run. I never killed a single monster, except for Toriel the very first time because I didn't know how to spare her, but I came back and figured it out immediatly after. I wish I understood english the way I do now back then (I'm french) because then I would have understood that Flowey called me out for going back. Maybe I understood but probably not fully, because I don't remember this moment affecting me, even though it would have if I fully understood. And it's a shame that this moment didn't affect me the way it could have because I didn't understand english very well at the time.

​@@ChildOfCosmos The whole point of Frisk's name reveal is that the human characters *aren't* blank slates, but instead their own characters with their own identities. The game constantly plays with expectations, and having you name the fallen human that turns out not to even be the character that you're playing is just one of the expectations played with. To make you project yourself onto Frisk before realizing, whoop, they're not me at all. But the greater implications of this momentary identity crisis that the player is meant to experience doesn't seem to reach everyone. Even Chara's own adoptive brother refers to them with neutral pronouns multiple times. For a game with multiple queer themes, including trans ones, especially including the number of characters who are referred exclusively to with neutral pronouns (because Toby has attention to detail to well beyond just game mechanics and music), there's no reason to think that Asriel was repeatedly using neutral pronouns just so that you could re-imagine his dialogue with whatever gender you want for Chara.

Great video, very well put together! I think you're very right about the commentary the Genocide route provides and how it makes us almost not human. Like, fighting Undyne the Undying or Sans, for example; it reaches a point where I'm not even thinking about the fact that I'm trying to kill a character I once loved... I'm just laser-focused on beating the boss and progressing in the game. The way the game flips on it's head is really amazing.

That, and every time they make any alteration to the source material to adapt it to musical format, it's almost always for the worse; for example, having Flowey suddenly make a cameo in Spider Dance, even though that completely undermines the reveal after the Asgore fight, when you should have forgotten about him. It doesn't help that he has about the same level of media literacy as CinemaSins, taking everything at face value and incorporating crack fan theories that aren't supported by the text.

Never had enough money to play the game, but I was always a huge fan in the back Watching gameplays, animations,memes etc. But I eventually stumbled onto Chara at the end of Genocide routes, at first I thought she was the "big bad" or something,the "reason" why we did the genocide route but after rewatching and seeing some analysis videos I realized that Chara is the true mirror of us and is just simply following what you're doing If you do a Pacifist route? She will narrate in the text box in a friendly way In a genocide route? She will narrate as soulless as possible. Yet still up until today some people think Chara is the "big bad" the "reason".

Its so good because you realized that you are not playing the game, the game plays you somehow, it knew from the start, every possibility, every path, every reactions from YOU, the flowey cutscene is so good is because it can "read your mind" somehow, "I dont like this", "Im just doing this to know" You get my point

It's amazing how Undertale can still inspire so much to talk about even this many years later

I have a very emotional attachment to the characters, I just "beat" genocide after 7 years. Reset after sans. I have completed true pacifist 4 times, never reset. I played on different playstation accounts and PC's. I love undertale and it's characters ❤

A lot of people like to assume Humans in Undertale are evil cause we are, but that's a bad comparison. That's like saying the Monsters are evil cause Monsters are evil in another world. Plus there'd be no barrier if that was the case, the humans would have just killed them all like fish in a barrel, heck any time after Asgore said his announcement humans could have nuked them. All we have for humans being evil in Undertale are like 2 kids with clear biases.

4:57 when you consider that she's stated to be the hero of the monsters, their last hope, and you, you're another type of monster. While other monster have a soul made of HOPE, LOVE and COMPASSION, you're a type of monster without soul at all, filled with murder, carnage and destruction, so much that even the true hero can't save them. But on the same time, related to Gerson's stories, as cruel as you are, as Heartbreaking as it is to see them die, you're their Angel of death, here to free their soul from this prison. And that's also an aspect interesting of the game, while it is obviously a morally bad way to do it, in a sense, you incarnate a twisted Hope of the monsters, who held for so long to a fake Hope of seeing the surface again

My favorite moment is pretty similar, it comes later. VERY later. After massacring everyone in the Underground, you feel bad. You want to go back. So you reset, and you do it all again. You do a true pacifist run, just like the first time you played. But when it ends, you see that CHARA's spirit (Not Chara, the first fallen human. , the spirit you awakened after doing a geno run), has possessed you. But that's not the best part. The best part is that you can undo that. It takes work. You have to destroy your Steam Cloud data, but if you want to, if you're DETERMINED enough, you can fix it. You can make the world go back to how it's supposed to be. I've seen a lot of people saying that when Toby Fox made it so difficult, he was saying "after you did this, it can never be undone." But I've never read it that way. When Toby Fox made it near-impossible to reset, he was saying "You can change, you can fix everything, but if you really want to, it won't be easy." Anyone change, but not everyone .

Me just tryna get every ending except genocide then get true pacifist to finish it all off

The fact that if you really looked throughly deep into this, notice how during the new home dialouge with flowey, he says "I ran away from home.", he doesnt mention asgore being his father (as flowey is really just asriel to my knowledge), but he remembers what his home is.

looking back on undertale... it's been the reason I've really gained a love for music and making games... I can make pretty good music... I've already been learning how to make games... I have a set of characters... a storyline... deep personalities... pretty distinguishable designs... inspired by undertale, yet not of it... near same concept... yet not of it... passion, one word... one idea... one abission... wether to bless or dishearten.... weather to socialize or roll along.... the decisions we make... all matter... Undertale is a great game... though toby said he knows some kid who played undertale will surpass it in the next ten years... its been 8 yet no one has seemed to come close... maybe... maybe not.

That has always hit so hard for me, with flowey saying you could destroy everything after a pacifist run. I have done 3 pacifist runs in total, 1 on pc and 2 and my ps4, I have also done several neutral runs and unfortunately 1 genocide run. I did the genocide run not to long after my first pacifist run, and the run… it broke me, with everyone being gone and the sad music to add on to that, when I eventually came to fight Sans I just felt like shit. It took me so many tries to beat him, and I eventually had to restart the run since I didn’t have enough healing items. And in the second run I felt like flowey, soulless I just saw every encounter as an obstacle every monster as a few pixels I didn’t care. When I eventually fought Sans again I would win, (even though it took a while). And the events that followed both with flowey and Chara really hit hard and shook me. I felt so bad over what I did so I got the game for ps4 and played pacifist there, and when the game was complete Flowey talked about the thing, how I could destroy everything and so I didn’t. I let the game be and let that world live on until today. I later started another pacifist run on another profile on the ps4 and did the same thing with not resetting that file either So yeah this video was… really good great with the vid 👏

Ngl, the genocide route really shows the 2 sides of every person.. it allows you to see a perfect world or a world you kill all who dare face you.

I just realized something. So, Chara says that she'll bring your world back, but you'll have to give them your SOUL, and so, after that, you do other runs, but soulless. Flowey said that he couldn''t feel anything for anyone, nor did he feel compasion or love. He doesn't say he didn't feel "any emotion", he just mentions love, compasion, and the happiness of being with other. Flowey also says that he realized how pointless the world was after having the ability to reset and try any route or thing possible, since he realized that, by doing all those things, the underground monsters just become series of codes and dialogues The thing I'm trying to say is: Flowey didn't feel any love or happiness to be with the monsters being soulless, since he did no longer held those feelings and seeing how everyone acted as codes and dialogues made him realize how pointless they were. This represents what happens to us after Chara resets the world, we don't feel anything for those characters since we already know that nothing will change from them, they are just non-existing characters from a game, and getting a happy ending doesn't seem appealing or something that matters anymore. So yes, Chara taking our soul represents what happens to the player in real life, no longer holding feelings of love to those who we once loved.

The first sentence is def true for me, as well as many other things.

My favorite part of Undertale is the risks it takes and its uniqueness for example if you don’t have any emotional attachment to the characters, you just keep killing and killing till you get to Papyrus who you first start to see the consequences when you kill him. Then when you face Undyne it makes it clear that Undyne is the hero and that makes you wonder what are you? You’ve been a murderer but you did it because of… what exactly? Then you proceed to start to feel guilt as all the monsters start to mourn for each other. Keep going to the end and karma starts to build up. And at that point instead of wondering “why am I murdering all the monsters?” You instead think “how should I murder all the monsters?” And one more thing, all the monsters don’t show that much killing intent and unless aggravated, you can befriend them, even after killing many of their friends

amazing video! you're really underrated man!! keep up the good work ^^

yeah, I couldn't find a good way to fit it in unluckily enough

I'm used to just smashing opponents to get stringer and stronger, but.. I don't think I ever played a game that made me feel bad for doing that. This is a gem among games because it shakes you up inside, and it hits hard. Thank you, Sans, and goodbye 😢

That's it! I'm doing the geno first and RESETTING it right before getting to Chara If i ever get to play the game at all

So I learned smth after doing the genocide route 3 times in a row (shhh Ik), Chara went and told me I should try the other paths.

This editing is soo awesome

@@Shilsey Oh gosh tbh I can't actually rank mine, and I have quite a few...but notable ones to me are Deltarune (was honestly surprised that I could like it better than UT) and Undertale, Omori, the Portal games, Okami, Minecraft, The Kitten and The Magic Hat (localized in America as Catz Petz 2, very special to me as it's a childhood game which really fueled my love of gaming and stories), and Minecraft Story Mode by Telltale (controversial I know but I do genuinely really enjoy it). There's a crapton more I could talk about if I were reminded of them but this is off the top of my head.

Noted, I often have audio issues, for next videos I will definitely triple check lmao

Ok that has got to be the ultimate top 5 games list ever

I am so sad one of my favorite bossfights ever is locked behind killing toriel, I want to nohit undying but I can't break the promise I made to myself to NEVER do a genocide in ANY CAPACITY EVER AGAIN. I stopped at sans last time before I reset because I realized what had become of what once was my love for UNDERTALE. Not because I couldn't beat sans, I have beaten much harder bosses in terraria for example, no, it was just a matter of time. But thankfully I realized before it happened.

If you’ve tried Undertale, I’d highly recommend also trying Oneshot if you haven’t already.

to this day undertale still has secrets we don't know about

The wind is howling...

I have 2 all time favorite scenes in this game: 1.) The one you mentioned with Flowey telling his story and becoming afraid of the monster you have become 2.) the post Omega Flowey scene where you either kill or spare him (particularly the latter).

0:02 ainoway you literally just picked my fav games as well well id put hollow knight there too but BASED

3:03 I know what you meant, but that sounded like you implied killing 21 people was perfectly humane.

how to get asriel voice. download toriel's voice and set the pitch to 50

"Despite everything, it's still you."

Just after watching this video I noticed that I lost empathy woth the characters after doing the genocide route. Undyne deserves that music, she is a true hero

its amazing that even in the genocide route, tobys storytelling is amazingly well done. and you wont even think of it well until afterwards

Its funny that this video was recommended to me a couple days after getting the True Pacifist ending and a few weeks after finishing a Neutral ending for the first time. Both times I expressed never going Genocide/No Mercy. Having seen this, it just cemented my logic for why. There just is no point. No reward. No goal (except to kill everyone). No logic. No soul. No secrets. The longer it goes the more the music goes funny or just disappears entirely. Even Flowey knows you’re just doing it for the 100% factor.

8:36 that is what LV is in Undertale the distancing of the soul from the body

I just wanna say how much I appreciate the "calling papyrus" feature. Calling Mettaton his "favorite sexy rectangle" is so funny. Also *"A."*

Great video! Your top 5 is very interesting btw. But while I'd understand why not everyone would put Minecraft on top like me, for me Omori barely surpasses Undertale because of it's also superb soundtrack, active and somewhat realistic battle mechanics and good characters. Jk the thing with Omori is not only all of that, but the huge, HUGE emotional overflow and the massive plot twist at the end of the game that made it the first game to make me cry that easily. It doesn't break the fourth wall like UT or DDLC, but still, it's simply perfect. Also indie games better than AAA games. And dw Undertale is third I didn't let it down.

Yeah man that line "Just let them live their lives" its so fucking sad because you're taking away everything.

great editing, other than that I dont know what your talking about hahhahaha. looks like a cool game tho might give it a try

Bro, if you’ve never played Undertale please give it a try! Undertale fans would KILL to play this game for the first time again.

this is insane tbh

i unironically have a similar trajectory than the one showed in this video but with a very crucial difference:i don't have undertale for context: i met undertale back when i was 10/11, at the time i didn't had the money to buy the game so i just watched core(a brazilian youtuber)'s videos about the game and i got addicted to it to the point where i started scouring youtube for more of the game lore and when i eventually learned everything there was to know i still thirsted for more wich eventually led me to meet the AUs that the community created wich led to fangames wich eventually led to the realization that a lot of UT fangames based on AUs don't do just to the game's story being just a fight against a sans that doesn't even feel like himself and while i did remain a undertale fan i started to neglect a lot of the impact this game had on me, a lot of my drive to learn complicated lore for games(wich would eventually draw me to kirby and KH) comes from this era and i just associated it to liking kirby lore instead of undertale essentially removing the world from myself without even noticing... until this year my physics teacher and i were talking about things that didn't had anything to do with the class(as we usually do sometimes because of our mutual love for popculture usually leads us to do before retuning to class) and he knowing that i'm an undertale fan asked me about the lore of the game wich i then spend the next half an hour explaining to him even as i was responding the questions, and it was then when i noticed how much i had neglected this side of myself

3:33 man just 5 hp away from the perfect damage number

Another thing that I felt was when I played through it I felt like the character I felt souleess I felt wrong

When i did the genocide i kind of accidentally killed more than 40 monsters since i skipped a mandatory monster fight in one of the puzzles

Undertale has always been special

Just like sans said… the more you gain… the more you distance yourself you first try the genocide route and you kill every monster, just to feel emotional and not wanting to do this. Once you kill toriel, its all over, no one can stop you from progressing. When you get to snowdin, all that emotion just starts to fade… like sans said, you kept killing, and your emotion keeps fading. When it comes to waterfall, you lost it all, theres no coming back unless you STILL have that tiny bit of good inside of you. Once you kill undying, and you celebrate, Its all gone… all that caring you did back in the ruins, GONE. Yet sans tried to warn you multiple times, be honest… you liked killing them all after you got past snowdin.

I see those “you’re not human” lines as being directed towards Frisk, the player character. They’re not a “living being” like the rest of the characters, they’re just a vessel for you to control. It makes Flowey’s speech there more interesting, since while he believes he’s finally found that special, unpredictable someone that he could live alongside without getting bored of them, he’s still just another sprite, just another set of dialogue to you. You become Flowey, even in regard to Flowey himself. It also means that, while you can reset your LV value ingame via resetting the save file, it will never reset it within your own heart. The damage is done, you will never see these characters with the same love as you did the first time around. Not if you’ve “read every book, burned every book”. It also makes the choice to stay with them in the Pacifist ending pointless because once the credits roll, you do end up leaving them. You either reset and force them back underground or leave them forever and let them be happy without you. Making the choice that you want to stay with them is just the game’s way of letting you lie to yourself, letting you daydream of living happily with all these characters on the surface, even though in all reality, if you’re not there ingame, what would your vessel be doing with them? They, or rather, it, can’t move or make decisions without a player’s input, so there’s no way “Frisk” can live happily with all “their” friends. It’s a horribly sad way of looking at the game, but that’s the point. This is what you get for desensitizing yourself with Genocide and the endless possibilities of the Neutral endings. In the end, you are the same as Flowey.

I've seen this interpretation around alot, but Ill be honest I don't really agree with it as it would imply that not only sans and flowey are meta, but asgore(kind of is already) and especially Undyne is aswell, which I just very much don't agree with. for the second paragraph, I do agree and If I remember this video correctly I gave a line or 2 to saying when you click the true reset button you remove the world from yourself, which with I meant that you remove the emotional attachment the moment you do that. leaving the game being like the games way of letting you lie to yourself is a cool one I haven't seen before, but I don't really agree, since Frisk is shown to atleast have their own emotions, which means that they probably would be able to still live their life. although I don't agree with this comment, it is a VERY VERY cool way of looking at the game, and I do love this comment so thanks!

haha its literally a spreadsheet with every single obtainable line of text in undertale someone made, crazy

I went through the entire genocide route, but at the end, after I killed Sans... ... I couldn't do it. I couldn't finish it. I felt so awful that I erased the save and did a few pacifist routes in a row, as if that would clean away my sins, but... I was still tainted.
