Time for everyone to becomes poets/philosophers again.

Duality, this isn't so much a single trait as it is two very different traits somehow being in complete harmony leading to them both being the primary trait, so rare that for hundreds of years it was thought to be merely a myth, today there is only one SOUL known to have this "Duality" outside of legends in the whole world, that being Purity and Hatred, this seems impossible at first glance but keep in mind hate isn't necessarily the desire to kill but rather the rejection of something, needless to say with this being the only recorded instance of such a SOUL only time will tell what shall become of them

*You're filled with Purity.. And somehow you're filled with HATRED But it's not mixed *YOU ARE FILLED WITH DUALITY

Vetrom's comment section always shows me what the real meaning of souls in Undertale and it's increasing my knowledge to it

DUALITY: a soul trait that precedes the NEUTRALITY trait, one who brings balance to good and evil, but knows their flaws, one is fire and also water, one is infinite but yet nothing, one is dark yet has light within, one is evil but also good, one is holy yet demonic, so on and so forth.

Duality: an instance of opposition or contrast between two concepts or two aspects of something; a dualism. Hey everyone, it's me, the one who commissioned this beautiful piece. I just wanted to share the inspiration for this wonderful song with you all. For most of my life I have been living with identity problems and I'm finally close to fully coping with them. The truth is in my head I have created a second manifestation of myself composed of all my anger and malice since I myself never get angry and I am positive 99% of the time. There have been times where this manifestation took control when I would "snap" and let my anger out at which point I did not have much control over my actions though I have learned to control it better at this point and I am close to being at peace. I have recently gotten these problems diagnosed and I am doing much better now. I commissioned this in order to tell the story of my fight with myself in a way that others can interpret it in their own way which I am so glad you all did. In the SOULS context, I actually chose this design to show a soul that has overcome the corruption of hate and accepted it as a part of itself. Purity is a mere example of this that I felt resonated with me most and really this can be anyone with any type of SOUL doing overcoming hate such that anyone can experience this duality. Thank you all for reading and have a wonderful day.

Duality - A sort of anthesis for Neutral, wherever Neutral represents no sides, Duality represents both - making them equally dangerous towards Neutral souls and vice versa. Due to the rarity of both Duality and Neutral SOULs, every documented reports of said SOUL must be preserved at all cost. Duality combines both SOUL traits that it is derived from - let's say Purity with Hatred - into one powerful entity that possess both of the SOUL's strengths, and weaknesses. They are able to wield the powerful abilities of both SOULs, which led some to believe that if a Duality Soul ever exist, it means that a great war will soon be fought, and should the former loses, severe consequences will occur. But combining two SOULs into one has a very dangerous effect. Due to its conflicting traits, a Duality SOUL would eventually try to disperse itself as an attempt to equalize one another, which usually leads to a violent yet swift death for the involved SOUL. As the saying goes; with great power, comes great responsibility. However, there is a very rare chance (only 1 has ever been documented) for a Duality SOUL to stabilize, thus becoming a permanent SOUL trait. But... What is this? Why now? Why must a Duality SOUL be formed now? Whatever the reason might be, I do hope that they win. For the sake of our kind. - SOUL (Singular Omnipotent Unlimited Limit) Field Scientist "Kadabra"

Duality: Some souls show the fullest of a trait, some show the pain. A Duality soul is no different, similar to a neutral soul they don't pick a side to life. The only different to a neutral soul is they embrace the neutrality of life itself, Duality is a combination of both Hate and Purity. They aren't inherently good or evil, but they understand both. A Duality soul is the best example of life. You can't have only good and you can't only have evil. Life will have ups and downs, your actions can be good and evil. Some may think everything you do is good while others may think you are evil. Duality souls have the strength, and patience to understand their hate, not control it but know the limits they have, and the roll it plays. Their hate is part of them, not a strong emotion gone rogue, or infection trying to control them after a horrible experience. Their hate is just a part of them just as their purity is. They can be good and evil, help others and help themselves, but the one thing you can trust a Duality soul for is truth. They don't sugarcoat things, they don't lie to you, they won't hide things, nor will they go out of their way to make everything better then it seems. If you ask they will tell you, they will help you if you ask for it. They will tell you everything you need to hear, no matter how dark it can feel. Is it cynical, evil, maybe rude, but its still the truth. You won't see a Duality soul going around killing everyone, and you won't see them pushing everything to the limit to create the best world possible. But you can find them helping others, and at times hurting them. A Duality soul has an understanding on what true good and evil can be, and that you can't have one without the other. They know we all have some good and evil within ourselves, and no matter what, others can see our actions with good and evil intentions. They can help those who have lost their mind to Hate before its too late, and slow down those who can lose themselves to their Purity before they hurt themselves. A Duality soul would be a True Neutral run. Only fighting if you truly had to, and helping those who ask for it. They don't seek to take over, control, destroy, safe, clear, or really change the world to one or another side. They only want to show others both sides of the coin.

The innocence and light of Purity meets the roughness and weight of Hate. The whole composition feels like a conversation. Between the irrational hatred and the innocent compassion. This kind of conversation runs frequently inside each and every one of us, specially when we feel hurt about someone, or some situation. EDIT: Seeing what our fellow listeners have to say, I have a last question: Is this the start of a new "journey"? Perhaps we could see those new, chosen ideas that were left hanging some time ago.

When the reality is in chaos, two opposite forces have to unite to bring the balace to a new world. With purity, the goodnes of our soul and hate, the darkness of our mind, we can change that utopy and distopy that threats our universe and reality which we exist on. And now, it will depend all of us, make that duality ignite.

Many of us fallen children are remembering Hatred and Purity... frightening, they were. But I can't help but recall Determination and DETERMINATION instead. One cut through swabs of Monsters like it was nothing, one pacified born warriors. One dethroned an entire kingdom, one created a true equality between Monster and man. One fought its challengers to control and beat them all, one saved _the world_ from _pure evil._ And let's not forget what happened when their goals _aligned_ in the Neutral route. Even Satan's spawn broke in horror at their combined power. Even if Flowey wishes to forget all that when he goes back, we can _never_ forget the red eyes that burned either for Monsters, or against them. And if while we wish our protagonists a good night, they decide to show us those same red eyes and a scribbled-on photo... We realize nothing can ever _really_ reset our choices' consequences for anybody. After all, we're (ironically) forgetting the very identity of the last huma- no, it's Monste- er, I'm not sure _what_ kind of thing's SOUL last exhibited the virtue of duality, but they're _not_ called Duality. What? _Yes,_ I know who they are! But as BirdofTerror once said, "it's hard to recite exactly why or how they decide to turn on everything and just kill everyone." And that goes for our respective identities themselves, too: It's hard to put a name or face to Duality when the game lets us all rewrite our names and who we are every time we Truly reset the Undertale. It's even harder to _describe_ such a troubled SOUL that would seek to emulate _both_ Frisk and Chara. But it's still hardest above all else to forget these SOULs' stories, or such banger music, am I right?

When a musical artist remixes their own track, you know damn well it's gonna sound incredible.

DUALITY: A much more straightforward and to-the-point "trait". It isn't an actual trait, but more so a symbol of everyone's propensity for good and evil. Not unlike the idea of yin-yang. People are complicated creatures. Some are benevolent and virtuous. Practical saints who are always dedicated to doing what's right. Others are manipulative and malicious. Devious tricksters who exploit the weakness in others for personal gain, often under the guise of righteousness. And some, which comprises a large percentage of the population, are those who are neutral. These are individuals who follow a path that comprises a capacity for kindness and cruelty. Nothing is innately wrong with this state of existence, nor is someone inherently evil for choosing this path. It is simply another answer to the question of "How should one live life?".

Sounds like a soul with two main traits instead of one. A person with strong mood swings or personality problems could have such kind of soul. The two forces are making you stronger than regular souls but can break you under the pressure just as easily. This duality soul here is mixed with Purity and Hate. Strong contrasts indeed. But you could put any combination here. I personally would have a Kindness/Determination soul in my duality.

Man I haven't been around for a while, the dual mix between purity and hatred is awesome. I love it!

Ya'll wanna know something ? At the end of the song, we can hear how Purity is comforting hatred, followed by the melody of Hatred slowly becoming a sad tone rather than aggressive, hate moves on. And to illustrate it, i think Vetrom made that we can see at 5:19 that hatred is fading away since it's becoming the first transparent thing.. Purity won, by comforting hatred.

The Soul Series was how I discovered you so long ago. I’ve fallen in love with all of your songs- Undertale, Pokemon, Zelda, even Tomba, I’ve been utterly captivated by your music. To hear this brings me back the excitement of discovery I felt all that time ago. Brilliant work.

Ok vetrom you are amazingly good at this stuff this is going on my undertale playlist and let me say this is really good

This is beyond what words can say- You capture emotion so purely and raw in your music and the deep empathy and understanding of those emotions pours right through it. Beautiful, beautiful, amazing job. Thank you for sharing your incredible work

Pure and Hateful Souls normally cannot exist in tandem with one another. As opposite traits, and with Hate being such a destructive force, more often than not, two people with these traits will clash against each other. However, on rare occasions, a Soul of Purity will shelter a Soul of Hatred, taking them underneath their wing. At the same time, a Soul of Hatred will turn their hatred away from that soul, instead directing that hatred against those that would threaten the two. And when a true union is formed between them... ...there is a chance a Soul of Duality is born. Souls of Duality are those who balance light with darkness, unwavering purity with unstoppable hatred. They simultaneously embody every negative and every positive trait, both a representation of the worst and best of humanity. These Souls are feared by all, for possessors of Duality could easily swing from brilliant kindness to vicious brutality, from compassionate saints to amoral mass-murderers that only the strongest Mages can face down. Yet for those who work to earn the devotion of one, a Soul of Duality is the ultimate shield and sword, able to devastate any enemy with overwhelming Hate and also care for them and their allies with sincere Purity. Souls of Duality can also make surprisingly good judges and therapists.

oh -no ITS ANOTHER AMAZING TRACK good job

Edit: Ima do this entire thing again! Ahem Duality When You combine two souls you get Duality I have it as well The combination of Persistence and Imagination Duality is When you have realize that you have a bit of good and bad inside but understand that you are in control of both the good and bad Powers: When you combine the Strength of HATE but the goodness of Purity, Hope and Persistence? You create this soul's true Strength Near Unstoppable And Ready for anything Most people cannot achieve this soul as most people are driven by hate However ANIMOSITY is a primal form of Duality Turning HATE into a form of attack for good or bad Yet Duality can be found in other creatures that are humans or monsters Subject Sunset Shimmer has Duality in her Element Willing to Fight for her friends but gives mercy to those in need

As always, incredible work. This has got to be one of my favorite songs to date.

Legendary track. I love how it doesn't feel like a battle between purity and hatred, rather a conversation between them.

this duality sound like the opposite of neutrality. when neutrality is distant of all things, feeling included, duality embrace the all spectrum. from joy to sadness, from sympathy to hate. a being that care so much that it can't be on a side. it is not "good", nor "evil". it go behond those arbitrary notion. it care without condition, and yet, understand the meaning of "caring": to feel for everything the two side of the emotional spectrum. they are not laser focused toward a trait, they are a balanced of all trait, without blending them to make them fade away like neutrality.

Duality. A rare phenomenon. An event in which 2 traits collide into one soul. Duality could be a mix of hope and hate. Kindness and despair. Integrity and fear. Justice and love. When a hate soul takes over half of the soul and stops. It shows the meaning of rejection but not genocide. It could mean many things. Many it’s a neutral star hat found 2 traits at the same time. But it’s still balanced. Maybe it is something much more...

Purity and hatred… OH! Pure Hatred!

I've been waiting for a long time for one of these.

Finally a soul remix after 2 years!

* Purity… HOPE… * These two traits make up my own DUALITY SOUL… * …Layered with a coat of DETERMINATION to keep it safe… * Splashed in a rainbow of color; CREATIVITY, as the outermost shell, the part that is known to the world. “…My friends never truly left… They’re just… Busy living their own lives, while I learn to love myself… and forgive myself for my mistakes…” “…Everything will be okay in the end…” “…We’ll all be reunited. We just need time. Time and space… A bit of distance…” ❤️‍🩹 *[ FILE 3 LOADED! ]* ✨

Duality... The mix of light and darkness.. Kind yet deadly.... The essence of humanity is this SOUL. We fight.. Yet we still feel pity.. What has this world come to? Shall we save it? Or let it burn in the flames of our own ignorance? You decide... That is duality.

FINALLY SOUL TRAILS TRACK IS BACK

How much more time will this balance last? It is in such a perfect harmony on itself, it seems just the smallest of interventions could give this soul a different destiny of what it may had been by itself... What kind of future attends to this soul in such case? Depends merely on the interactions between themselves and/or itself. (The story has been altered: further back-story has been added to Seth's experience giving his character increased depth)

Duality, a mix of purity and hate. Many believe that such a combination is impossible, since there is no pureness in hatred, however duality represents the thin line between the two. In truth, no pure soul is truly pure, since no soul can be perfect, not even love or hope. We all possess some hate, some despair, some fear, however what matters is that we carry on nonetheless, and don't let it affect us. Duality is simply a true soul, one that many of us have. Some don't like to accept this fact, but this in turn turns them toward the darker side of their soul. The genuine pure soul is one that accepts that it is not absolutely pure.

Vetrom never fails to amaze me, once again, you did an amazing job with these tracks, can't wait for you to include this in Spotify ^o^

this is an amazing theme, i have 2 characters who would fit perfectly with this, Zero and Dark... Zero is Kind and wants peace, Dark is Unkind and wants Judgement on any who has wronged him... Dark is the Manifestation of Zero's Darkness, corrupting part of his soul, which caused them to split from eachother... this music represents them quite well!

I love how this uses Fallen Down, Your Best Friend and Asgore's Theme, showing three very different sides of what can be seen as "Justice", with Flowey being the most corrupt.

Finally, after 3 years, a new Soul Trait video!

underappreciated. thank you for the beautiful music you create.

Yes! More SOULS! I've been waiting for this for a long time!

Another fine addition to my collection Liked your Yoimiya remix btw Also love that you always include the leitmotiff. It's like it is all part of an anime or cartoon version of Undertale where they make flowey's theme a recurring melody or the main theme because it leads to a big plot point. So basically Undertale.

Your souls covers are still are by far my favorite. you are pretty good at this.

Imagine what kind of Soul power this soul would use. Probably a mix of the two traits it represents but you share the weaknesses of its two traits as well.

OH COOL! ITS MY TRAIT! (The music is fire! Keep it up!)

So, I think this is a great piece, and I think it's awesome that it was a commissioned one. Playing the new Deltarune chapter, I feel as if this song of hatred and purity fits the character of Kris so well. Not wanting to spoil too much but there is some DEEP story that I can't wait see unfold in the upcoming chapters.

This, if it were a mode in the vanilla game, would be a mode where the SOUL box is split into two halves. The SOUL box can be split in any direction. The direction the SOUL box will split in is telegraphed seconds before it happens. Both SOUL halves are like mirror images so if one half moves left then the other half will move right. If one SOUL half is hit by a bullet it'll take damage. For added difficulty the bullets don't have mirror images and sometimes the soul halves can be rotated in any direction making the SOUL movement lopsided. The ways of expanding on this SOUL mode are, quite possibly, limitless.

This is amazing! Now I'd love to see a "Duality Finale"- the Yin Yang of Duality surrounded by the Rainbow of the 7 souls perhaps. But honestly i just want it because of the name, haha

I resonate with this theme so much, I find myself having difficulty to describe it in detail.

-Seeing that there's no dislike fills you with DETERMINATION-❤

Duality's main weapons dual swords. One with pure light to signify their purity trait while the other with utter darkness to signify their hate trait.

OMG OMG WAIT THIS IS BEAUTIFULLY PERFECT FOR MY ORIGINAL CHARACTER Not only is the music absolutely immaculate, but the meaning and message of DUALITY is so perfect, since my character is a fusion of both Frisk and Chara. I now headcanon this as their theme and no one can tell me otherwise.

Duality is less of it's own trait and more of an occurence between traits. Sometimes formed by two souls in one body, or, rarely, in one being alone. Duality is defined as the perfect harmony between two things, and what better way to show this than the perfect harmony between two completely and utterly *opposite* souls. Two antithesises given form in one body. Duality can be very strong, or very weak. Embodying the aspects of two different traits, those with a dual soul can prove to have very strange behavior. Often, those with Duality have multiple personalities. Alternate lives. Multiple beings coming together, monster or human, to work in unison. Chara, once she fell sick, requested Asriel take her soul. She asked that he use it to cross the barrier and do justice as they planned, and to bury her body in the place of her birth. Together, Asriel's soul of Pure, untainted Hope, and Chara's Spiteful Hate forged a new soul trait. Duality. The perfect unison of two completely different beings. Determination would struggle against duality as powerful as Purity and Hate, likely proving to be as powerful, if not weaker than it. All in all, Duality is not a trait, but a combined will. The will of two beings with the same goal. And together, they can become an unstoppable will AND unbeatable force.

Duality... The most common soul to form after a person undergoes trauma One side, the side that was their before the trauma. It's usually the side that tries to see the good in everyone, and manifests as either purity or kindness The other side, the side that no longer trusts anyone or anything. It always manifests as a darker trait, and usually despair. But it's not unusual to see it with other darker traits. These souls two halves do not get along peacefully, and often cause immense internal conflict. The best (and only) way to help such a soul? Help them heal from their trauma.

holy fucking shit i just realized duality is canon like really theres a switch exclusive fight in undertale its mew mew doll or something and like its a combination of determination and patience holy fucking shit

Dude you really make my day with all these remixes Always enjoy to listen to them in your style over and over again Keep going man 💚

Return of a Era

*Working with them all to break free *It fills you with DUALITY

Duality: The name of an amazing song by vetrom

Oh man, here come the writers with their extremely long(and very detailed) lore paragraph I really love reading the comments on these vids, really gives me motivation to go start a book or something

"Dual souls. A phenomena i started to notice early into my research and observation. Duality - isn't a trait, but rather 2 traits living in harmony. Duality is fairly rare amongst humans. Only 1/15 newborns earn it. Usually it happens when 2 parents have vastly different aspects but wery close on power rating souls. Usually 1 aspect will overpower another, but, in rare cases, they are equal. Duality varies in purity. Sometimes, one trait still remains as main, and their partner is merely a secondary trait, usually duality is exactly that. It depends on how close in emotion and how close in power the parents are. A normal duality is something like 75/25% soul, can be lower or higher, but high values are insanely rare. 90% of all dualities consist of 4/1 ratio, and usually don't show any extreme strength and magic. However, those who blessed with high duality ratio are very powerful, as they have almost as much power on each trait as normal person would have on one. They are extremely rare, however, they usually have the 60/40 ratio and only make up 9% of all dualities. However, in extreme cases, one could have 2 evenly split traits, making up the perfect 50/50. Their soul aspects empower eachother to the point where they are as strong as 3 souls which have only 1 trait. There were cases of 2 dualities making a 3 or 4 trait soul, but they were so rare i couldn't count them for any statistic. And theoretically these merges could continue to the point where the soul has all 7 aspects a healthy sould could have. But out of hundreds of timelines that have gone for thousands of years i only recorded 5 instances of that... Well, it's a possibility, maybe that would apply to me..." Some observations and research on dual souls by unknown being.

Damn. Really throwing us back with that one.

the souls theme at 1:30 game me the chills omg

This is one of my favorite soul themes (Determination, Hate, and Love are up there as well)and one of my favorite videos of yours in general. It's so catchy i can't stop listening to it... I can't even pick a favorite with all of your pokemon remixes! They're all so good!

Finally a soul I can define myself in

You should do more of these, they're really good. Its impressive to see just how many variations you can do on a similar theme.

in all of us exists a battle between good and evil. i feel this demonstrates it.

Epic song you made, I want to put a 1000-word essay here but I'm too stupid to write storys so uhhh: Yin-Yang in a nutshell

Now this, is my trait

I've been waited for so long this is insaneee

i honestly didn't think you still did soul spesific music cool!!

Duality brings balance

Living that half heart life

Duality The Perfect Balance. Duality is a special place that rarely any SOUL can reach. Most SOULs either become their own trait or are consumed by HATE. However there is a rare occurrence when the wielder of the SOUL accepts their HATE, but doesn't allow it to control them. They have become in perfect sync with it and their own trait. No longer as they bound by their trait or fearful of their HATE. They have accepted the LOVE in their SOUL but will use both for their own morals and purpose. Not a simple trait or a savage beast. Perfectly in the middle.

Need this one on Spotify man 😅

This comes at the perfect time for me. I have a project about to end with a character in the finale that is pretty much the personification of this duality. And the track really fits his last actions. The mix of hate and purity.

This music truly feels like a combination of both traits. An energised Purity, mixed with a subdued Hatred.

This would fit so well into a game I'm working on. Love it

It’s… It’s beautiful… …I love it.

o.o THIS IS AWESOMEEEEEE

I HAVEN'T HERD THIS IN A LONG TIME

It’s like a yin-yang. …Dark and Night. Day and Light. …Both in perfect harmony. **[ 💛 FILE **__SAVED__** AND LOADED!! ]**

Happiness and Sadness. Love and Hate. Empathy and Apathy. Those are three out of many emotions that a person can feel.

Thanks you!

duality: whem you put both vanilla cream and chocolate butter on your pancake

In retrospect, this is actually a perfect representation of when Asriel and Chara’s relationship fell apart.

Oh, finally new soul!

YOOOOOOOO WHAT?!!?

I just realized I've listened to your Undertale remixes years ago and now i rediscovered you because of genshin... Woah dude

my god, it begins

I wonder when we’re getting the final souls album

This is basically my theme. I *hate* a lot of stuff, but also have *purity* in my heart.

When i saw this I never click it so fast in my life 🌸

HOW’D I MISS THIS? YOOO I LOVE IT!

It really sounds like for me a combination of morality and emphaty

It’s all okay now. You can breathe again. …Don’t give up.

I really hope you make more traits in the future because these just sound so wonderful, your very talented and doing a great job currently so keep it up!

Truly beautiful

Duality is the perfect soul type for the Yandere trope since they are associated with a bright cheery side and a darker "want to remove rivals" side A great example is Toko/Genocider from Danganronpa THH

It's so good to hear your music and this is truly beautiful I cannot wait to see what other ones you mix up with the other souls that's what you want interesting names you will come up with for them

Duality - The co-domination of two (or more) SOUL traits... Despite what many people would believe, this trait is present in more people than one specific trait. Sometimes hundreds of different virtues, values, pitted against each other, though one usually stands above the rest, coloring and coating the school, with the secondary traits only marginally influencing its appearance. However, the co-habilitation of two traits, to the point that not a single one is dominant, is astoundingly rare, getting exponentially thinner and thinner with each subsequent trait added. Some speculate that the red SOUL (❤) is a combination of the 6 primary traits (Patience, Bravery, Integrity, Perseverance, Kindness, Justice), though others speculate it has its own distinct, yet uncommonly found trait such as DETERMINATION or HOPE. However, what is known is that a dual soul is either extremely common, or exceedingly rare based on outlook. For example, a dominant Patience-secondary Kindness soul can access both traits' magical arsenal, though one will always be stronger than the rest.
