I have my fingers crossed that this video will find a new audience, and new life on this channel. It physically hurts me to reset this video to 0 views, but that is balanced by my excitement to share it with you all! I hope you enjoy this updated content - and don't forget to give Scrabdackle a look if that at all appeal to you ► scrabdackle.com/

I can imagine Toby Fox seeing those theories and saying: "Ha, look at those idiots trying to find something."

Also, interesting tidbit about Deltarune's egg that people found a while back, if you type out "EGG" in all-caps Wingdings, you get a set of three hands, one pointing to the left, and the other two pointing up. Translate that to movements on a chess board, and you get the movement pattern of a Knight, which connects Gaster to this mysterious "Knight" character mentioned by the Spade King.

some of the dummytext put together actually makes a poem "Is that a cut on your face, or part of your eye?" "The gash weaves down as if you cry," "The pain itself is reason why."

This game has been out for 5 years and we still have no clue what the hell is going on sometimes.

"What do you two think" "Beware of the man who speaks in hands" I think Gaster was actually talking to his hands

Toby Fox is a genius. I can't imagine having that much room in my brain to create deep lore that sent a majority of the internet searching mindless circles around a spooky shadow dude

"Gastetton isn't real,he can't hurt you" Gastetton: 5:26

nobody: gaster: can i offer you a egg in these trying times

What is actually in that secret gaster den? It's actually just a whole collection of mothers that sans befriended.

I think Gaster being 'scattered across time and space' just means Gaster's consciousness was spread across the universe. He became onmipresent, which is why he could hear you talking with the Follower. I don't think he was literally broken into pieces.

Gaster could probably be considered the world's greatest easter egg of all time considering that we've barely scratched the surface with him and his story

i feel like the identity of gaster is right at the tip of my tongue. like i feel like we have all the details, but were putting it in the wrong place.

Huh, well I'll be damned. There was actually something in this video I didn't know about. After 4-5 years in the fandom, you'd think I'd have seen all of this, but no. I did not know about Deltarune's dummy text.

One thing you missed. At least the first 6 and possibly the first 8 True Lab entries were probably written by Gaster. This is due to one line in entry 6, “ASGORE asked everyone outside the city for monsters that had ‘fallen down’” This is important because of Mettaton’s diary. In the first one he mentions that Shyren’s sister “fell down” and we know they become part of Lemon Bread. Diary 4 explain how Mettaton meet Alphys at a human appreciation club he set up and diary 6 strongly implies that Alphys created his first body. This is important as we learn from Bratty and Catty that Alphys got hired after showing Asgore Mettaton’s first body. This all means that Alphys could not have written at least the first 6 lab entries and the best candidate to have written them is Gaster. He also may have written entries 7 & 8 as starting in entry 9 we see the entries written in lower case and they clearly sound like something Alphys would say, with the first 8 sounding a lot more formal and composed, similar to how Gaster seems to speak. This all lead into a theory that Gaster hired Alphys as an assistant and she took over lab entries after 8 until Gaster disappeared in 17, thus leaving 18-21 all purely Alphys. Just some interesting things I wanted to point out

I am more and more convinced that Toby has made an ARG.

I’ve always thought that “sweet smile” and “changing shape” was referring to flowey. I mean, flowey does follow you throughout the entire game. Though it could very well be gaster because I didnt even know that muffet’s laugh had something to do with one of gaster’s audio files. Dam this is interesting

gaster is still the one theory i've been stuck on forever. it's so frustrating to have all this info and not be any closer to whatever toby is thinking!

*_It's rude to reupload the videos about someone who's alway listening..._*

I just now realized the sound I here in some "what" memes is the gaster fade

You know, what if Gaster is just trying to sell eggs for a living, must be hard to get by when you are shattered across time and space

Your vocalization and general way of speaking makes your content a joyful part of my day, thanks for the entertainment.

I'd love to see more UT/DR theory content from you in the future. Not only are your vids well-researched and presented but I feel like you're one of the few KZfaq creators who can actually keep up with the developments and discussions that go on in the Reddit/Tumblr theory circles without resorting to clickbait theories.

If the man behind the tree is Gaster, he could be giving you the egg to see if it'll actually return with you to the overworld, unlike the other dark world items. If the dark world is a product of Gaster's experiments, Kris and Susie could be his unknowing test subjects.

Plot twist: Gaster is just used for testing stuff and Toby is laughing at every Gaster theory

Anyone notice that the “piece of gaster” that one of the followers is holding looks a lot like the first head option in the create vessel part of deltarune

This style of theory video is infinitely better than the majority of them because the separation between evidence and theory is very clear, it’s a lot better than what’s seen on big channels like Game Theory. It doesn’t present theories as facts, and allows for space to think about things, and proposed potential lenses to analyze them

Personally I think Muffet was referencing Flowey, since he *can* change his face, smiles a LOT, and has transformed into Photoshop/Omega Flowey and Asriel (even if it’s only temporarily) Plus, you can find Flowey following you throughout Undertale, so I think he was the one that was mentioned in the bush scene. Idk for sure though!

I've actually joked with friends that the blueprints were both wingdings AND bad handwriting, playing into the typical trope of doctors having notoriously bad penmanship.

"You never gained LOVE but you gained love" - sans.

Interesting that the egg is a reference to the what pumpkin gag from Homestuck, considering that the whole gag was pumpkins disappearing and reappearing. Even more interesting is that it was revealed later in Homestuck's story that the pumpkins were being moved through time and space across multiple timelines. Quite a interesting reference considering what happened to Gaster.

I always thought that the "The one behind you, with the creepy smile." was about flowey

Toby himself didn't necessarily have to preserve these webpage's, sometimes the internet is just swept and data is gathered about as many websites as the program can find.

I was wondering why all those gaster fan games choosing that theme even tho i never heard it in the game. So that's its origin

By the time Chapter 2 is coming, the first place I go to the shelter/the big red door.

"GONER" might be a reference to acronyms like "LOVE" in the first game, seeing as how frequently it's used. The "Deltarune" sound that plays at the end of Chapter 1 might also be the sound/name of Gaster's computer/device booting up for the next "experiment" (i.e., Chapter 2). God I hope we see Gaster soon, and that Mystery Man is confirmed to be him. MM's design is so ingrained into Gaster at this point that it might as well just be him, even if Toby initially had another idea for his design. (Plus I really want actual Gaster/Mystery Man merch)

This editing reminds me of the game theorists. That means I love it 👍 keep up the good work :)

You know what I find interesting? The garden shelter looks very familiar to that hill in Irish folklore where the Irish folklore creatures were forced inside of after they lost a war between them n humans. That hill could be the hill where the monsters used to be forced inside of, and the door used to hide the barrier to both realms

This really makes me think of Spamton’s dialogue about heaven and angels… there’s no way he’s not connected to Gaster especially with the notion about the dead noise coming from his phone being the same noise that Kris hears in their phone which is the Gaster noise.

*56 minutes ago* Me who just watched the full DT *G* aster eggs playlist: ah yes an addition to the team

I just realized that Ralsei wears a really similar robe to the river person when you first meet them in the dark world! Do you think there’s anything there?

The man who talks in hands? Wasnt a piece of gaster in that follower’s hand?

The mystery man doesn't necessarily need to be Gaster, however the man in an unused room actually might be Gaster, as he speaks wingdings

I was just rewatching your videos earlier today & wondering why they were unlisted lol, glad you aren't getting rid of them. About the man behind the tree: people on reddit have pointed out that the room before it with the starwalker might be a reference to Wingdings. As they put it "the bird has wings, the bell makes dings" - kind of obscure, but it actually makes that room a little less inexplicable maybe? Also, while I'm entirely not sure how I feel about kind of randomly dropping the G from his name to speculate about Gaster, if we do go with that I want to point out how not only is text box narration and dialogue always presented with an asterisk, but also the save points being depicted as stars and as far as we know only appearing in the Underground and Dark World respectively where Gaster's influence is arguably seen most strongly miiight link them to him somehow? I've seen nobody else point this out so I'm really not confident lol Hope I'm not telling you old news or something, sorry if I am! :v

5:35 funny coincidence how the sound effect has 1, *666* listens. haha.

i think the person who hired muffet is flowey, hes almost always smiling and literally changes shape

7:55 Mettaton is referred to by all characters as "he", at least once they enter the Mettaton body.

I watched this video earlier today and saw it say "48 minutes ago" and just thought it was a bug lmao.

This is all connected to Homestuck as well, after all, Toby Fox did live in Andrew Hussie's basement for a while

"At least one person will pause the video thinking these are legit theories." *I feel personally attacked*

About the egg. In wingdings "EGG" translates to right-up-up and it is the movement pattern of a Knight in chess

The black wind also plays in deltarune when you meet the king

Man, you spend so much time and effort into your videos that it makes me sad that you don't have more followers than you do :c I love all your videos, thank you so much for going through the time and effort to deliver us such high quality videos!!

used to be ungodly levels of obsessed with undertale but kinda fell out of it for a little bit, but recently been interested in (mostly deltarune honestly) it again, and i gotta say- i have lost plenty of hours watching all of your videos on this stuff lmao. they're really entertaining videos, and gaster's just generally such an interesting theory topic. the only thing that sucks is that since deltarune's only a demo rn having to wait for the full game to have anymore new information is so painful,,, but i guess it's worth the wait considering deltarune is looking to be even better than undertale so far

"Photon reading negative" Photons are light particles, creating a dark fountain, as shown in chapter two of deltarune, causes the surrounding area to be temporarily devoid of all light until the fountain lights up, and even then it is pretty dark. This makes me think that Gaster may have made the original dark fountain and tried to close it, but he wasn't strong enough and was shattered into a whole load of pieces.

9:15 I also see a spade, it might be a reference to deltarune.

(This is just a thought I’m putting here just in case) Gaster is the person controlling Kris when Kris’s soul is outside the body and maybe there’s a reason he’s opening up dark fountains

It is more reasonable to say that the "mystery man" is more of a follower than the actual gaster. It is more reasonable to say that the man in the removed horse stable or as you called him the "other sprite" is more likely gaster. he speaks in windings, something only he does. and the head that one of his followers hold fits into his sprite. maybe there are more pieces that will fit on him later. maybe not. I just don't believe that the mystery man is gaster though.

37:17 seems more like a legal disclaimer slipped in without stepping out of the vibe? Since the game has several instances of flashing lights and rapidly changing images/colors, have that sort of warning/disclaimer seems like it would be important

the person behind you with a smile i always assumed to be flowey, since they can be caught behind you and fleeing afterward

Here’s my theory for Gaster: W.D. Gaster was the scientist who worked on the core. He also made the Determination Extractor. He injected determination into himself, before falling into the core to test if determination would give allow him to have immortality. But as we know through the amalgamates, determination cannot be held by monsters, hence Gaster’s melting/cracking appearance. Gaster got reborn after the fall into the core, but the core’s energy and the determination caused him to fall apart into different timelines. He tried to test this experiment again with monster kid, the man who bought the donut , clam girl, sock puppet guy and hotland boy, each from different timelines. Every time you see one of them, it’s actually then just shifting timelines. He soon figured out how to change the reality of the timelines and made Sans and Papyrus. Sans was given Gaster’s powers of timeline manipulation and was sent on a mission to make a machine to bring Gaster back to his original form. Sans built it secretly behind the house, keeping a photo of Gaster and his followers to help him remember his purpose if the timelines changed due to the player resetting and caused them to not exist in that timeline. After gifting his powers to sans, Gaster later dormant in a room which he made. Thai is the grey room. When he sees the player coming towards him, he freaks out as all the timelines never had any other monster enter the room, causing him to shift timelines and fade away.

27:52 Did Gaster just jump?

I've also found that a theory that seems just as plausible for the goner kid's identity. It's that he's the monster kid from an alternate timeline in which he did actually fall and die. There's a seemingly blatant nod to this when monster kid says, "Yo. I thought I was a goner, haha..."

Now that Spamton’s here, that whole thing with phones not working feels a lot deeper. Pull the strings and make them ring.

deltarune is an What If: monsters won the war instead or, never happen

Fun idea ive had for years, Riverperson mentioning "the man who speaks in hands" Could be seen as them not just speaking in windings, but aldo being a mute, speaking with sign language

I love how you have noticed all of these details and secrets in the game! It's amazing that you have and it's amazing that you've caught onto these things! Keep up the good work!

10:03 Doesn't that spectrogram look like the machine of determination we find in the True Lab? Plus, the skeleton in the middle does look a bit similar to Sans. I have no clue what to think of this but it is very interesting

Relative to his presence in the game itself, I think Gaster has THE most fan-made content featuring him out of any character in a piece of media.

I know its probably more related to chrono trigger, like you said, But Cave Story (a game which toby took inspiration from in the creation of undertale, as well as stating he loves in general) has the line "You feel a black wind blow through you." before the sacred grounds. this drops all your weapons to level 1, right before the final and hardet level.

All your videos are so high quality, throughly enjoy all of them, and I watch them as a recap to a bunch of undertale stuff. Thank you bro

You should have combined the two videos on gaster into one when moving them to this channel.

Ok, first id just like to say thanks for revamping this video, it really reminded me of one of the core reasons i fell in love with undertale- all the secrets and mysteries that we can only guess about, and all those hidden clues to something larger. Id also like to give my thoughts on mystery man, and the other weird sprite that may or may not be gaster. I dont have a solid belief on anything in regards to mystery man, as his very nature is shrouded in darkness(hehe). While a lot of things point towards him being gaster, we dont have any solid proof, as well as too much information on him. Its possible mystery man is a piece of gaster; maybe one of the larger chunks of him that was split across time and space? Who knows. As for the strange sprite in the room that leads to the sound test room, it seems in my opinion to be closer to gaster. It gets brighter as you move towards it, which is a mechanic used in Deltarune but in reverse, where you have to get closer to the center of the room to see the hidden switch on the tree. not to mention, the room this appears in is one of the two spaces connected to the room with the man who gives you an egg. it gets even deeper, with the song playing in this room, scarlet forest, having a gasters theme leitmotif. it goes pretty deep. as well as this, the sprite may have been made by toby himself. I dont own the art book so im not 100% sure, but toby's art/spritework is pretty messy and rough from what i've seen. it wouldnt be impossible for him to try and draw out a design for gaster by himself, but then decide it wasnt good enough and place it in a room by itself. As well as this, when you exit the room with the mystery sprite, you are able to hear gasters theme for the only time in the game, even with hacking and all that jazz. This got way longer than i intended it to be, but there was a lot of stuff connecting the mystery sprite with deltarune and gaster once i looked into it. anyway, hope u liked my semi-theory thingo

I'd say the prophecy has to be related to the ending when they all go to the surface. The underground isn't really empty in the Genocide route if I recall. Doesn't Alphys take some of the monsters and go into hiding in the true lab. Muffet and burgerpants being two notable ones.

toby is on a whole other level. full years before deltarune was released, he put secrets onto the website and archived them onto the Wayback machine, because he knew people would look for it.

I find it even more interesting that in chapter 2, if you go to that red door with Susie following you she talks about how the door makes Kris anxious and how they really don't want to be there.

This is amazing and agonizing to watch. I feel as if we are always so close to a brand new big breakthrough, just one step away from uncovering more info. Seeing Gaster post on twitter made me feel like someone had injected me with mysterious substances. All we can do is wait. All we can do is dig. Dig deeper, yet deeper, until this darkness swallows us whole. Or until Toby releases the rest of Deltarune. The knight. The scientist. Him. EGG

I swear no one's noticed that you can hear the smile sound effect very faintly at the create your character part of Deltarune. It may just be me.

Your videos is what game theorists videos always lacked for me - substance. Really enjoy them!

When gaster asks "what do you two think?" one of those two could possibly be the player, as deltarune's made it quite clear that the player and Kris the protagonist are two very different entities and why/how we're using Kris as a glorified meat puppet has yet to be explained

0:33 Three cheers 8:21 I run with Flowey doing it. We do see him do things like that and he has access to the Ruins so he would know about the spider's sale 27:41 so much Vantas

We need more Deltarune theories, how sans connect this game was best DR theory, total masterpice. Now that video about Chara.

Just want to point this out, I read a deltarune comic called "paper trail" and as a more casual fan of the series there was a lot that flew over my head. After watching your videos, especially this one, I have noticed just how much time and work the author put into all the little details in their comic. I recommend anyone who hasn't to go read it as it has not only made me look at both Undertale and deltarune differently I am also looking up videos like this now. The artist/author is LynxGriffon and nobody asked me to do this, I just needed to get this off my chest. The ending makes me feel that it would be super fitting and poetic if the author didn't make a sequel so maybe if I can get enough people asking about it we may get more. It's that good.

Just watched this video. And since I'm the type of person to always wonder about a mystery(s), this really dug up a LOT of things I had never known for a long time. You earned a subscriber :>

I thought gaster was an egg. If he the scientist then it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to think that Toby took the phrase egg head literally in order to make a pun especially when you taking to account that gaster shattered. And eggs shatter do when dropped.

Didnt jevil meet "someone" before going crazy?

10:32 "The other use of Wingding's fonts is with this hidden figure" I'd like to mention that the hidden figure speaks in *all lowercase with an asterisk* while Entry 17 uses *all uppercase without an asterisk.*

Am I the only one who thought the friend with the creepy smile/changing shape in the shadows thing was Flowey? I mean, he does have weird expressions, rearranged his face, and lurks behind the player constantly. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Just saw this going up and I'm adding my view to it even though I already binged the old ones! One thing: Is there any indicator when something of the old video is being revised/expanded upon? That would certainly come in handy to those of us who saw your original videos, and even more so after reading that the second part is getting some big additions. A simple mark on the corner, or an acknowledgement in the video, would go a long way. Either way, keeo up the great content! Edit: Okay, it is pretty obvious when there is new or revised content. Great!

I am at least one person who stopped the video, thinking the list was legit theories. But also!! I’m glad you reuploaded this, I haven’t thought about undertale/deltarune in a hot second and it’s nice to refresh myself! It’s also nice to see your updates and tidbits to add to the video (and how you’ve changed in two years with your enthusiasm in speaking).

20:17 "pulling the strings of this game world" BIG SHOT INTENSIFIES

My mind has just expanded x100000 and blown into a million pieces. How has this been my favorite game for the past 8 years and I’m still discovering things I’ve never seen before or never even thought could be possible????

Idk why but w d gaster scares me a lot for some reason, just the glitchy music is so unsettling

The Angel's Heaven is also mentioned in Deltarune as well, it's part of the prophecy that Ralsei tells.

In the sound test room, memorize the Gaster’s Theme to understand this. When you interact with Mystery Man, he plays a notable sound. If you loop it, reverse it, and slow it, it will sound like the Gaster’s Theme song.

I realize you may mention this later, but I'm just so psyched to hear that Gaster Wingding sound from the 17th lab report. I had no idea there was sound with it until watching this video, and it's the same sound you get through your cell phone in the dark worlds from Deltarune. I never understood the point of it, but now to hear how obviously similar they are makes me excited to not only have an explanation, but to have solid proof of Gaster's connection to Deltarune!

9:06 I cant be the only one that sees lancer's face here

I'm really sceptical about the muffet connection, some have theories that the hidden person is actually flowery who we know can somewhat change shape as seen on the geno route, but I'm not sure

It’s probably been said already (either in this comments section or in the legacy version’s comments section) but the word “shelter” in the room name could also refer to a bomb shelter. If Gaster is in there, it might make for a nice bit of irony; a place meant to save people from a cataclysm may now hold a cataclysm within.

I definitely think that the picture in Sans' lab is of the heroes from Deltarune, rather than Gaster. The "don't forget" connection to Deltarune's main leitmotif makes that seem undeniable to me
