Deltarune chapters 3 and 4 are releasing in the next couple of days, and I'm so excited that I may have taken the day off work to play it, lol.
I've also been replaying chapters 1 and 2 because why wouldn't I, and it reminded me of a theory I've had since the beginning. It doesn't classify as a spoiler since there's no way to know at this point, but I'll put it under the cut anyway.
Quite bluntly, I think Ralsei is the overarching villain. I'm sure that's not a new concept in the game theory sphere, but I don't recall seeing it anywhere either (and it's got nothing to do with anything in Undertale).
Firstly, the prophesy mentions 'a Prince from the darkness', but even in chapter 1 there are two prince's- Ralsei and Lancer. Why Ralseis kingdom is empty is never explained, nor why he's so keen to recruit other Darkeners. The way he's also immediately trying to be best friends with Kris and Suzie, like he's got bigger plans he's trying to groom them into playing a part in.
And yes, I know, videogame logic, building the party and the hub town, etc, but this is Toby Fox we're talking about, you know there's more going on than surface level.
Replaying Chapter 2 only made this suspicion worse. The rooms he made them in the castle, for example. Firstly, how did he know what their bedrooms looks like? Giving Kris the shelf full of trophies that in the light world is over Asriels bed, literally plunging their siblings sides into darkness, giving it the old 'you can come here when things get too hard at home' spiel. It could easily be a tactic towards soemthing nefarious - 'I see you, I appreciate you, your golden child siblings mean nothing to me, dont you want to stay here with me and have adventures? Look, you even have your own room, full of things just for you.'
(Incidentally, I'm only inferring Suzie has a sibling based on how the room design disappearing into shadow mirrors how Asriels half of the room disappears.)
Theres also a lot to be inferred by his hatless charatcer design. Sure, he has his goofy moments, but most of the time he looks pretty smug to me. Relaxed, hands behind his back, hooded eyes, like he knows exactly what's going on and is in control at all times. And the way he just turns up in Cyberworld because he 'just noticed it' when it's clear from NPC dialogue that it's been there for some time, and Lancer and Rouxls Kaard had to be in Kris' inventory to get there 🤔
Maybe Ralsei is in league with the real Kris, and that's why their name appears on the save when the player first enters the dark world. Maybe he's the Prince sending the Knight on their errands. Maybe I'm wrong entirely!
But I'm definitely watching him the next few chapters
Remember the person who snitched on Luigi? All because they wanted the reward, which they ended up not getting because the police & government used loopholes to get out of paying it.
The same thing will happen if you rat out immigrants. The odds of you getting the money are low. It's a carrot on a stick to get you to do the work for them.
This goes for assholes, too, guys. I know a couple who went tubing once, and they had to re-air their tubes, but the guy thought it would be funny to stick the tip of the air compressor up to her bikini trunks, the air ruptured something inside her and she died within thirty minutes.
Reblogging with a link because I thought this was a legit joke. Never heard it before. Like I knew you could kill a person by inserting air into a vein but still.
As a general rule of thumb, do not push air into any bodily orifice, regardless of gender. It never ends well. Air compressors and the human body do NOT mix.
