    Fun fact about Sans’ room: You don’t actually need to do multiple playthroughs to get here. All you need to do is save right before his judgement dialogue, and then close the game once it’s finished. Repeat this process a couple of times, and he’ll give you the key on a single playthrough.

    35:39 There's a detail about the "you'd be dead where you stand" scene that always intrigues me, that NOBODY seems to talk about. When he says that line, he deliberately turns *away* from both us and Frisk. He is not staring directly at anyone in intimidation. Something about that feels melancholy to me, I dunno. Like the fact that the child in front of him could have easily died by his hands scares him a bit.

    A thing which I don't see discussed very often is actually Sans's most popular trait - his "cool eye", the cyan/yellow one. Both colours are present as types of Soul. Patience and Justice respectfully. And both fit Sans perfectly. Justice is rather self-explanatory with the whole "you will be judged" thing. And Patience could represent not only blue attacks but also Sans's own patience, required to watch his friends and brother die to attack you only at the end of your journey.

    i personally have a different interpretation of sans. sans is a character whom i believe a lot of people misattribute the ability to remember timelines. remember when the human dies or when the timeline resets. however i don’t think that’s the case because again why would sans continue playing his life out normally when something like a genocide route is happening. if sans had knowledge of previous timelines, why wouldn’t he prevent a genocide route? my personal interpretation is that sans only has an inkling of awareness of resets and deaths. when sans kills you repeatedly he counts not by specifically saying oh haha i killed you twice, no he always starts the sentence the same, “hmm. that expression...
    that's the expression of someone who's died x times in a row.” sans is saying the same sentence but adjusting his answer based on what your face is saying. i get the feeling that when sans “feels” a reset it’s more like he has a constant feeling of deja vu. sans being able to identify the human as human and the lamp could be explained by toriel describing the human to sans and he just makes the lamp in preparation for the joke to papyrus. idk it’s not a perfect interpretation but that’s how i see it

    • @ancientbruh
      @ancientbruh 2 месяца назад +24

      YES, the lamp is just a JOKE. Just because there is intention behind most things toby fox does, way more than an average developer, this does not mean EVERYTHING. That would be insane. Sometimes he just wants to make a joke. Out of all the characters possessing knowledge of their universe, sans has the least. It doesn't make any sense for his character if he were to have such definite knowledge of what you're doing at all times. Sans is just very smart, and understands the player and their motivations very well to the point he can accurately predict what you will do and why. He is guessing. This is painfully obvious from the tone of his dialogue, they're questions, not statements. He makes Hypotheses. He's a scientist. Another thing, the characters do not know they're in a "video game." They simply don't have any concept of video games. They all have vague ideas about the nature of their existence, but this does not reduce them or their world in any way from their perspective. To them things like Lv and Exp are not video game logic, but the laws of their universe. This is shown through the subversion the player experiences, expecting Lv and Exp to be level and experience. Nighthawk, unfortunately, needs to do some more analysis.

    sans could have drunk ketchup shortly before the fight in some sort of final way to convince you to stop. The sight of him bleeding, asking papyrus if he wants anything, it's all to guilt trip you to do something else. Reset. Maybe one final pacifist route before you go, maybe not, but maybe you'll think twice before another geno route.

  • @danifaragoi3709

    Your rebuttal to Sans' "blood" being ketchup, "gravity isn't situational", made me realize that yes, actually, it is. With Sans specifically, gravity is very, very situational, as he shows by slamming you around the screen down to 1hp. It could be that this ketchup is his ACTUAL last ditch effort. His initial plan is to make you abandon this through frustration, either by brutal defeat, betrayal, or sheer boredom. But if all that fails, maybe shocking you, making you think for a split second that maybe, just maybe, this wasn't just some monster, but another human being that you'd just murdered, maybe that could make you stop all this.
    If this is the gambit though, it's a tragically futile one. It requires that you, the actual player entity messing with time, a being that he couldn't possibly actually conceive of, see killing a human in a video game as so terrible an act that you would change your ways.
    But you've done that more times than you can count, haven't you?

    This is pedantic but quantum physics isn’t mostly theoretical, there is a large body of experimental evidence, and it mostly describes subatomic particles, not the atomic scale really. And you do have a chance to pass through something whenever you touch it, but not just through quantum tunnelling but more likely through particles being arranged in such a way they don’t interact. (More likely does not mean likely though)

    I don't get the whole idea of chara taking over the protagonists soul. Frisk and Chara don't have the power to influence the autonomy of one another, that's only the player's ability towards Frisk, which in turn, influences Chara as she learns their new world having their old one wiped from her. Chara is influenced by Frisk, (the player's decisions), not the other way around.

      @sdfwqeq 2 месяца назад

      Okay, this might be a funny idea, but I think we're not actually controlling Frisk. We're controlling Chara, who is hijacking Frisk's body. Basically, the player controls Chara, who in turn controls Frisk. In the genocide route, the connection between the player and Chara weakens while the bond between Chara and Frisk strengthens due to the increase in LV and EXP. This shift allows Chara to take control at certain points during the run, like the red dialogue, the step during Sans's judgment without player input, and the surprise attack that delivers the killing blow (the first attack is player-controlled, but the second, automatic one is Chara). The same thing happens after Sans dies: they kill Asgore immediately and, after a moment of hesitation, they slash Flowey until he's nothing but crushed petals-all without the player’s input.

Realistically, Frisk wouldn't show mercy and spare flowey after already committing the most absolute heinous actions.

    I think the noises at 17:01 are more of a reference to Earthbound, considering Toby's appreciation for the series. Several "spooky" moments/areas in Earthbound play a track that has a similar droning under the main melody (which, granted, is usually just disparate notes that further unnerve the player). For all I know, though, either example could still be something like binaural tones? I'm not well versed in that half of the question.
    Edit: I made this post off the top of my head, but coming back to give the precise tracks I meant: look for "One Fateful Night" and "Alien Invasion 1" (and/or 2) to see what I mean. They're not *precisely* the same sound effects, but they carry the same vibe for sure.

    I just thought of an explanation for the skelebros just showing up one day and I have to share it.
    What-if, unlike most types of monsters, skeletons don’t reproduce and are simply made by human skeletons being exposed to a lot of magic for a period of time? The magic slowly seeps into the bones and, eventually, a soul is born, bringing a new life out of the old.
    We could say something like Sans and Papyrus’ original human bodies were killed and dumped into the river that would bring them to the Underground, where they decomposed into skeletons and were reborn into the characters we know in game.
    As for why no one knows this fact: I imagine skeleton monsters weren’t common before the War, given humans tend to bury dead bodies, and the majority died, maybe were even targeted, during the War, leaving only Gaster. And when Gaster fell into the Core, the only monsters that would remember skeletons would be people like Toriel, Asgore, and Gerson, long living people who remember life before the Underground, and maybe some ‘monster biology’ document that was stashed in an archive never to see the light of day again.

    To be honest, I don't like the idea that Sans literally knows he's in a videogame. Undertale filters a lot of game mechanics through in-universe logic, why should Sans be any different?
    I'm also not sure about the idea of Sans as some calculating genius that knows exactly what will happen and secretly hates you no matter what. Sans is kind, and the friendship and vulnerability he shows to Frisk in the pacifist route is real, I think.
    Even in the Genocide route Sans talks about how he wondered if maybe the anomaly just needed friends. I think Sans would have given the human a chance, promise or not.

    It's worth noting that one of the books in the library or somewhere else in undertale states that when monsters consume food the food turns into Pure Energy meaning that it is physically impossible for the "blood" to be ketchup because if Sans were to consumed any it would have turned into Pure Energy.

      we don't know how long ago exactly, but two of the gaster followers talk about how asgore took a long time to replace him. remember that asgore is a boss monster too, so he's been around for a very long time himself
      the state of the true lab and the CORE show that they're clearly very old, two places directly connected to him. i think the fact that he was the original royal scientist implies that he was around in the early era of the underground too
      there's also the fact that nobody talks about him anymore, he's been gone for long enough that he's been forgotten. the only person who definitely knew him was asgore, and that isn't saying much. alphys is a royal scientist herself, and she never mentions him either, which to me implies that he was long gone by the time that alphys was around

    I had assumed that the ketchup theory had the ketchup be *in* Sans. Like, he ate it, it’s just not been digested yet.
    Also a lot of this can be explained with the “Sans Deltarune” theory- the reason he’s not got Papyrus involved in fixing the machine is that Papyrus is living it up in his isekai adventure. Sans probably gave up the idea entirely upon realizing Papyrus was just happier in this world. Also, Susie has said “everyone bleeds” which implies that Deltarune monsters have blood- like Sans. This makes things weird with Papyrus, but maybe that’s his isekai cheat code? 😜
    Also, that’s not actual nihilism; while nihilistic thought holds that there’s no meaning, pulling pranks and the like are, like, Dadaism which is nihilism in action.

    I really like this video but my only gripe is I really don't think Sans has memory of the other timelines. He's aware they happen, he knows something about the timeline stopping and starting over, but he doesn't know what happened. While Flowey calls out specific actions ("I know you killed her"), Sans just points out strange actions you make ("you turned around before i finished talking"), which is something various other characters do without any meta knowledge (Papyrus, Toriel, Asgore, etc). He can guess how many times he's killed you, but it seems to be the same way Asgore knows he's killed you/Toriel remembers your preference, he's just more aware of the anomaly and can call it out more specifically.

    Fun fact: the only true way to win against the player would be to make them bored. Sure, anger is a temporary way to stop them, but making it feel like there was no reason to do a Geno run would be great. Like imagine how much more effective it'd be if sans just said "make it quick" and then the whole 1-shot Asgore and Flowey thing happened. The player would be a lot more bored. You gave the player a fight, something new, and that's why some players did it at all. It's a sad thing, but at least in theory there'll be a world that survives right? Maybe not sans's, but there'll always be another world. All worlds are fictitious to another after all

    What do you think of the sans is a lightener from deltarune theory? I genuinely believe it. In deltarune there is evidence that lighteners bleed, not humans specifically. You can also add the facts about sans’ basement and the three smiling strangers with “don’t forget” as more evidence. When he says he “can’t come back” he means to deltarune. This could be part of why he is given in and nihilistic. The broken machine in the basement being his transport ride to undertale. Maybe he can’t go back because of The Roaring, maybe sans is simple unable to fix the machine. Either way I find this theory not only cool but also great a filling in the gaps in his theory.

    People seems to be forgot that both undertale and deltarune shares same places, but in different scenario. Yes that deltarune hometown should exist in unsertale as well and sans came from this hometown because, he's a monster who would just hide while asgore have rap battles with humans, somewhere on forest and cosplay as human. And one day everyone knows he's a monster and with papyrus decided to go to the underground to hide from humans hunters.
    Chara would come from undertale hometown as well, and asriel we're shot in that hometown.
    Sans literally mentions about other self, meaning his deltarune self.

  • @Magma-Idiot-2001

    A few things I disagree with a little bit:
    Sans is productive because of Papyrus pushing him to be such, if wasn't for his little brother, he'd sink into absolute sloth woth how lazy he already is.
    Sans and Papyrus are one hundred percent monster due to them both dusting (he literally dies, as that is the only way that allows the player to reach the absolute LV of 20).
    As for the human thing, it had been a number of decades since regular Monsters had seen a human (as many monsters barring a select few who are fans of human, or were around since before Monsters were imprisoned for close to a millennia).
    The promise to protect the human isn't foresight, he just agrees because of what you said regarding Sans agreeing regard Toriel.
    I also want to point out that he acts more vindictive if you kill Papyrus. He is also following the human as the Shyren battle shows.
    Sans is not able to remember Resets (he only gets deja vu like the other main characters), he DOES read expression, he's only aware to a degree due to the 'reports'.

    Based on how Sans' "teleportation" is depicted, I imagine it's likely a form of quantum tunnelling. *_This_* is further substantiated by the quantum physics and joke books.
    I imagine the lamp was made whilst Frisk was obfuscated by a tree, and I further imagine the blood was incase Sans was defeated, hopefully you'd feel bad enough to reset.
    Based on what Sans has to say when trolling you across space and time, (especially the geno dialogue) it seems Sans is actually just guessing based on Frisk's face, not some form of sudo-omnipotence.
    There are other things, but the point I want to make is that I don't think this video is accurate on most if any points.
    Asides from referring to Gaster as They/Them.
