There is no reason the narrator should fail to know something so obvious this soon in the game. It’s another line that seems out of place the first time you see it - shouldn’t the narrator know everything? You’ve taught the narrator? Narrators, as you know, are supposed to be informative and helpful. They only seem to know what Frisk knows, and what they know.Īt first, they don’t know what the plant in Toriel’s hallway is any more than Frisk does. Most importantly, the narrator only had this reaction to Chara’s bed. That sort of comment, especially in the pacifist run, is probably enough to make you squint and go “the fuck, my dude”. That’s a pretty morbid comment to make “If you laid down here you might not get up”. What’s so special about the left one? Why is it this one that prompts this reaction? There it’s just described as a “twin-sized” bed.īut the narrator has a reaction upon seeing the bed on the left in the Pacifist route. Nothing seems off about this in the pacifist run. Here, we see the Chara describe the bed on the right as Asriel’s bed. It has most of the information known so far that supports the theory, and then some. It’s finally done!Īs a good portion (though not all) of this post is based on the well-known “Chara is the narrator” theory, first and foremost, this section has to be here to provide the base of the post. If you liked the animation, and like Chara (or don’t like Chara) then please consider reading the meta. The result is what could conceivably be called thorough.Ĭompared to the animation I made as the header, the post’s content was much harder to put together and write I consider the animation icing on the cake. After all Chara seems to have a special hatred against those who “act above consequences.Uh, so I’ve been working on this meta post for around 3 months now, gathering screenshots, gathering feedback, gathering more screenshots. The power of Reset might be tied to why they hated humanity so deeply in life. Seeing that we don’t ever see Asriel make the realization that Chara had been with Frisk throughout their journey and even here Flowey seems to refer to something separate from Frisk’s battle as oppose to saying “you and Frisk fought” its just “you fought.” Personally, I think the comment about Chara fighting against the power of Reset may also be tied to the conflicts they had during their life as well. It really drives home the “anyone can be good if they try” lesson of Undertale. I love how this shows that even those without a soul in Undertale can still learn to still be good people, it’s just harder as it doesn’t come natural or reward you by making you “feel good” when you do good to others. He’s really grown up.Īlthough, given how annoyed Chara gets if you try to bring the world back (reset) after the Monster Mash, how they grill you about the effects of your actions and how you think you’re above consequences, and call it “perverse”, I’m inclined to think they wouldn’t naturally want to reset anyway. Not to mention he’s standing up for Frisk’s happiness here, potentially against his best friend if they try to reset. He apologizes and says “if you do that…you’ll have to erase my memories too. He’s fairly gentle here, but he knows that the power to reset still exists and makes it clear he would never go along with the idea. He knows Frisk and Chara aren’t the same person, and he no longer over-idolizes Chara, but he has an idea that Chara, by the end of the Pacifist run, had been fighting the power to save and reset, asks them not to do it themselves, and tells them not to be worried about everyone.įlowey says Chara was fighting alongside Frisk during Pacifist, and cared enough about the safety of Frisk and their friends to worry about their happiness.Īnd…I’ve said it before but I think Flowey deserves a standing ovation for this whole speech. He then says that the power to save and reset is something Chara was fighting to stop. Calling them by the same name he’s been calling them the entire game.įlowey spends the beginning of this talk assuring Chara that everyone is happy on the surface, and that they shouldn’t be worried.
