Wait, didn't Frisk land on Chara's corpse? I mean, who wouldn't be pissed?

How to start a fight in Undertale fandom: Pronounced "Chara" or "Khara"?

Why does Sans look like he's having a good time with a knife in his head in the thumbnail? edit: all of my comments get popular but all of the replies always say im an idiot and i love it lol

Or maybe because the player started the route, and Chara grew attached to the killing after they realized how powerful they can become.

Toriel: Wait, what are you holding??! Me IRL: WTF is wrong with my burger?????

*Waits for vid to play* ... Realizes it was paused

I like how everyone in the thumbnail is dead but sans is all like “heya i’ve gotta knife stuck in my head, got that going for me.”

5:04 Ok, lemme stop ya right there, bud. You seem to be confused on the canonical properties of determination. The reason determination causes monsters to melt is because of the fact that they don't have the physical matter to contain it like humans. While humans are made of flesh, liquid, and bone, monsters are mostly comprised of, and sometimes even entirely made of magic, which the liquid-like determination mixes with, causing melting. In fact, though Undyne might seem to be an outlier, I can actually use her as an example of "physical containment." Because of how much is known other than melting monsters and saves, it is fully possible that determination acts on some sort of mental switch. If this were the case, Undyne's armor can contain it for her when in action. The reason the amalgamates melted wasn't because of the determination itself, but rather it's effect on the magic that the monsters are made of. That is all.

Why chara killed everyone No one had chocolate

I think in every route Chara accompany the player

I personally feel that Chara was neither good or evil before her fall. She was a helpless child, possibly abused by humanity, consumed with hatred and rage when she fell. I also believe she found refuge with the Dreemurs and was genuinely happy with them, but wanted to help them escape the Underground and was ok with killing humans to do it. (In fact, living with monsters may have fueled their hatred more, by seeing their hardship). I believe the buttercups incident with Asgore was an accident, and that Chara's laughing was because she finally understood what she could do, maybe in a sense of brokenness. This would also explain why Asriel was so unnerved by her behavior. Chara willingly poisoned herself to save monsterkind, and planned all along for Asriel to absorb her SOUL so they could cross the barrier and kill 6 other humans to free the Underground. But I also feel that when faced with humans again, Chara was consumed with rage and bitterness, and also wanted to kill them to save Asriel. After Asriel's death, Chara's SOUL vanished along with his dust. Toriel stole Chara's corpse from the castle's basement and buried her where she first fell in the Ruins, where golden flowers grew over her grave. I believe that when Frisk landed on this bed of flowers that their determination awakened Chara, and her soulless spirit latched onto them. Remember that when Asriel became Flowey (his consciousness in a flower, but with no SOUL), he was void of all emotions or love. I believe the same thing happened to Chara, since her SOUL disappeared after Asriel died. Therefore, Frisk's actions at that point either awaken the best or worst of Chara's personality. If pacifist, you remind Chara of the good times with her monster family and she will help you in trying to save them. If genocide, you awaken that hatred and she will thoughtlessly try to slaughter everyone (as seen by how Chara possesses Frisk and kills Asgore/Flowey without the player's action). Flowey told you that he even started out being really nice to people before he eventually decided to torture them, proving that Chara could go either way without a SOUL. Chara is true neutral as a character inherently, with no SOUL to have a moral compass anymore, swayed by however the player (Frisk) plays the game.

Player: killing everyone Also player: Chara why are you killing everyone?!

Well then. sans does go out easily. You throw a toy knife at his skull and it goes straight through it. Neato burrito.

CHARA WANTS THEM DEAD SO SHE CAN HAVE ALL THE CHOCOLATE AND KING MELS SONGS FOR FREE! XD

I think her name is pronounced “Kara” like “Character”, hence; “Chara”.

I believe that Chara is who we made them, when they awake, we can show that humans can show compassion through the pacifist route, or confirm their past thoughts that all humans are evil through the genocide route. Chara is a young and impressionable child, at least to me, and what we do effects who they are.

I find it interesting that Chara includes gold as a stat, since even in pacifist you have to gain gold.

"who could come up with a plan where one of the steps is the death of the Mastermind?" - well, Dumbledore, Walter white in the end, 11 year old Ron Weasley during the chess game

After some thinking, what if this physical form of Chara at the end of the genocide route, is actually like flowey. They both don’t have souls. Just like how flowey is always hateful and wanting to kill, Chara is the same way. They weren’t evil when they were alive but are now considered evil with how they are acting when we meet them.

Because her parents always drove past McDonald's?

Player: **kills all of the monsters** Also player: How could Chara do this?

Underlab: and what could possibly be more powerful than that? Me and Gaster: Gaster A.K.A. The Man Who Speaks In Hands.

You know you're early when you get here before King Mel.

What type of scientist is alphys A paleontologist

People: "Chara is pure evil!" me: "That's stupid... stop being stupid..." Other People: "Chara is totally innocent and a total good person!" Me: "That's also stupid. Why are you all stupid?" Seriously... Chara is the best character in the story BECAUSE there clearly not good/evil. Or rather they are a complicated character.

-_- chara. is only. able to watch as you kill their entire family and they have no power to stop it until the end of the genocide because of how much lv you gained.

I get triggered when “determination” is getting way dramatic-er than its definition... Determination (in this case)-When you keep on trying to succeed Determination (what is getting dramatic)-When a being becomes demonic and savage

Chara is just "character" without the "ter".

sans in a thumbnail:heyya kiddo,i just found a knife in the ruins and it flinged landing to my head,leaving a crack while its stuck

You should do a video where you include several small theories. Here's some of my ideas for theories you can talk about for just maybe 2 minutes: How does Undertale relate to Alice in Wonderland? Why do Sans and Papyrus resemble human skeletons, rather than monster ones. Since I'm not commenting within 5 hours of the upload, so this will be probably lost in the sea of comments. Anyone who sees this please like so he can see!

Sigh. When will people understand that US THE PLAYERS are the killers, not Chara..?

*CHARA PROTECTION SQUAD, ACTIVATE!*

Toriel: WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING MY CHILD?!? me irl: whats wrong with my phone? wait... HAVE YOU SEEN MY ICONS?!?

Why chara jumped down the hole: Fidget spinners. Everyone agreed that it was a dark reason, why chara hated humanity.

You do realize that the buttercups incident with Asgore could very well be an accident, right? They were a young child, it would be easy for someone so young to mistake buttercups for cups of butter, you know. Also, you always seem to forget that the player is the one who incites genocide. If Chara really wanted genocide, and could possess Frisk to do so, wouldn't True Pacifist be impossible? They pretty much outright tell you that pacifist/neutral is a better path to take. "Another path is better suited." They even say that you are "wracked with a perverted sentimentality" and that they "cannot understand these feelings anymore." The post genocide pacifist endings are reminders of what YOU did to them. It is not a sign that they killed them all, it is a sign that YOU are responsible for your own actions. And um what? They CLEARLY loved the Dreemurrs as you can see with the sweater they made for Asgore and the art. Their plan was to FREE THE MONSTERS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. Why would they go to all that length to free them, JUST TO KILL THEM? Chara is only as evil as you imagine Asgore to be. Asgore did what Chara had planned to do. And it is kinda obvious that what happened on the surface with Asriel was self defence. The humans attack first, Chara wants Asriel to fight back because he will DIE if he doesn't. Asriel refused to fight back and walked away, which means that Chara didn't even try to force him to fight back with the half and half control they had. They obviously didn't want their best friend to die, so they clearly loved him. The Dreemurrs were kind and generous to them, which they know. Chara is the narrator of Undertale, very clearly seen when you check a mirror on a genocide path "It's me, Chara". They show HOPE when Undyne the Undying appears. "The Heroine who NEVER gives up." And despair when she starts melting, "...". Think of all the funny narrator moments, that is Chara. They are PESSIMISTIC in the genocide run "The bag is half empty" and OPTIMISTIC in the pacifist. "The bag is half full." The pacifist ending is what Chara wanted all along, isn't it? All the monsters free on the surface where they belong. The pacifist ending is their redemption from their failed attempt at freeing them. Also, Asgore says you remind him of Chara on the PACIFIST run. Not the genocide run, where he thinks you're a monster. I'm pretty sure Chara's adoptive parents would've noticed something off about their personality. They were just a 9-10 year old child. Their plan simply put was to free the monsters. Which, when you think about it, are good motives. The plan wasn't to KILL ALL THE HUMANS, it was to free monsters wrongly stuck underground. Their plan wasn't perfect, but what perfect plan can a freaking ten year old make?! They just want their monster friends to be free. No one in Undertale is meant to be irredeemably evil, Asriel got forgiveness for what he did. Every character in Undertale has their flaws, even Papyrus. Undertale teaches not to judge others, so why do we judge Chara so harshly? They are the scape goat of the game. We blame them for a route WE decided to partake of. We blame them for killing everyone, when we were the ones to click FIGHT. Chara is just a very misunderstood Chara-cter. (Get it?)

Wait in the beginning chara was alive but frisk was dead... But they’re the same persoo...

Underlab: *mis-pronounces Chara's name* Alphys: *TRIGGERED*

I was watching an Underlab video when I got this notification. Wow.

Honestly, I think the Genocide route is actually pretty fair (And I never played Genocide). It's not Chara who is making you do the killing, it's the player themselves. They are the ones to blame, not Chara. So in the Genocide ending, no matter what, Chara takes your soul. I think it's pretty fair considering you killed all those monsters. And even...Chara's family.

This is not true.... You killed everyone I loved yet you call ME evil?

Chara wants everyone dead (including Frisk)?!

7:24 buff frisk!!! Lol that picture is just extreme funny lol

Um...what IS your basis that Chara actually wanted everyone dead? It seems that everyone wants Chara to be the bad guy; their scapegoat for their actions. At the end of Genocide, they specifically state that YOU, the Player, were responsible for all this, and they even state that they were confused, their plan had failed, and they thought they had failed. But then, because of the Player's actions, they thought they were reincarnated to help the Player achieve power. But, after another Genocide run, they say you have a 'perverted sentimentality' and does not understand why continue to recreate and destroy the world. Heck, they even TELL you to do another ending, one where you don't kill EVERYONE. And, those who say Chara forced them into killing everyone...no. You have so many opportunities to stop. You could stop, and RESET whenever you wanted. Even at the end, when you're about to kill Flowey, there's a moment of hesitation, where YOU have to decide to kill him or not. That was literally your last chance to take it all back and RESET. To me, Chara just wanted to help their family and was willing to sacrifice their own life for the sake of the monsters, who had raised them as their own. Now, I won't ignore the fact that they hated humanity, but that's because of the implied reason that Chara was abused on the surface. And when Asriel was on the surface being attacked by the humans, they wanted to use their full power because they knew that their plan was going to fail and Asriel would die. They would never want to see their best friend killed in the end. In Post Pacifist however, these are the consequences of YOUR actions. Chara makes sure you KNOW that there are consequences to killing everyone they knew and loved, will never let you get your happy ending. In the True Pacifist run too, at the end where Frisk reaches out to 'Somebody Else', it's Chara they reach out to for help, and Chara helps Asriel remember the good times they had, and to remember their compassion. Let's be real; if Chara wanted everyone dead, they could kill Asriel, absorb his Boss Monster soul, and kill everything and everyone with ease. There would be no need for such an elaborate 'plan', unless those were never their intentions. In the end, yeah Chara wasn't the greatest person, but that doesn't mean they were a BAD person. Just someone who's made some bad decisions. It's in the same way that Asriel isn't a bad person, they've just made some bad choices. If Asriel who was a homicidal flower, or even Asgore who murdered six human children can be forgiven for their mistakes, why not forgive Chara for their plan not succeeding when they tried to SAVE everyone? Sorry for the long paragraph, but I just don't understand how people can see Chara as the bad person if they don't even take into consideration that THIS IS A GAME. And you can do whatever YOU want. If you wanna kill everyone, or spare everyone, or anything in between, YOU CAN.

Why chara wanted to kill everyone: They didn't, the player did, argument over.

3:36 ......but I thought humans can’t turn into amalgamates....... (then who did she fuse with if she’s the only human?) Chara in pacifist after she tells you to do that run when you do the no mercy run twice: *heh heh *thank you Chara in genocide: *You laugh, and keep laughing *It’s SO funny, you can’t stop *Tears fall down your face

Triggered Alpyhs in the beginning Edit:and I guess Chara didn't like the way alphys said their name..so they murdered alphys..wow Another edit:I made this comment about a year ago,why does it have so many likes-

Theory: the player is determination. At the end of the genocide route, at points they talk to you, at others, Frisk, like when they said "our" plan failed (unless we make a plan with them in Deltarune at some point). You are the one who pushes Frisk and Chara to either just leave the underground or free the underground... in one way or another (there is lots of evidence pointing to Chara being the narrator, so they are on the journey with us and we tell them to be good, bad, or neutral).

No one Alphys: you think you’re safe?

*Insert comment about how Chara isn't the villian* Edit:Yeah i spelled it wrong also Chara really isn't the bad guy/girl... there most likely the narrator

Good theory, but I feel like Chara is not evil, the reason I say this is because asriel, asgore and toriel the only ones that love them YOU kill in genocide, so they take your soul because you don't deserve it, monsters were the only one that understood them, and you killed them. Then you reset, you act like a goody two shoes, like you did nothing wrong, but they know. They know all the terrible things you did, so they took away your happy ending, you don't deserve it. And plus they didn't experiment on asgore, it was an accident! Asriel says it was an accident! There just kids! They didnt know! Anyways that is what I think.

The way you pronounce it (CH-ara) is the correct way, according to thr auto generated subtitles

Chara is just a really vengative person, but not evil. They are that kind of person who's going to destroy your life if you just pick on them a little. Probably Chara was being bullied/abused by some colective, and how nobody standed up for them, they ended up creating the idea that everyone is bad.

I always saw Chara as something demonic with a child host. When you "save" Chara in the fight with Asriel, you are removing the malignant force from the child.

Chara = power, Frisk = courage, Sans = wisdom I've been playing to much zelda

Everyone: *kill all monsters* Also everyone: Why did Chara do this?

Player kills everyone in the underground: Why would chara do should a think

But alphys IT'S SPELT CHARA!

Regarding the whole "how Chara's name is pronounced"-thing, in Japanese version, their name is written as キャラ, Kyara, which should give you good hint how it's pronounced.

My theory is that the person known as Chara is just a husk - a person possessed by a "Big Bad" - and that "Big Bad" is known as Moloch. Also, the concept of the "Big Bad" taking the form of a preteen grrl is something straight outta J-horror (also straight outta Touhou). 3:28 Moloch, an entity determined to sacrifice others for their own power. The entity, itself, is particularly associated with child sacrifice. 4:19 Because we have to assume that Moloch is fueled by the souls it absorbs, monster and human alike, so it just wants as many as it can get. 4:44 Moloch is also referenced in the classic German expressionist film 'Metropolis'. 7:09 Fun Fact: The Sanskit word for "left-hand path" is "Vamachara." Yes, "VamaCHARA." Ponder that for a moment. Toby probably didn't specifically calculate that since "Chara" is derived from the word "character," but it's still eerie, don't you think? 7:25 Toby wants us to be more like Vash and not at all like Knives or Legato. Undyne is totally Wolfwood, though (philosophically speaking). IRL, the best and most practical philosophy is to combine Vash's idealism with Wolfwood's realism. Btw, yes, Tobes did slip a Trigun reference into Undertale. There's a part on True Pacifist where Royal Guard 01 mentions "Love and Peace!" 8:14 But it only has the power to destroy, not create. That's not "power." That's futility. That's nihilism. That's perdition.

Fanon soulless pacifist route: Chara ruins "our" happy ending by killing everyone. Canon soulless pacifist ending: Chara eats pie and vandalized a photo, but accidentally spilled ketchup on it.

Personally, i like the idea of chara really being a not-so-pure-evil child in life. it feels more fitting for this games mood to me. as the game has shown you again and again that something that appears evil or "monstrous" is probably suffering itself and not all that bad truly, and so naturally i feel the need to apply the same logic to chara. though this is an interesting theory, toby does a great job of leaving it just mysterious enough to go either way in some areas

lol, I naturally pronounce chara as ch-ara. Like the ch in cheese

Imagine if frisk had her own boss fight doe

Player:does genocide and kills everyone٫ also player:OmG cHaRa KiLlEd EvErYoNe!!!!!

I think this is my favorite (or one of my favorites) video of Underlab, you did a great job :D even though I personally don't think Chara is evil, it was an interesting video!

*I do not believe this theory to be true, but in the way I saw it, I couldn't explain how Chara could have made that creepy melty face before encountering Frisk. I also wondered how Frisk and Chara would become one at all. I think I can explain it now. *One part is that Chara made a different face entirely. Their normal face, encountered only at the end of the genocide route, looks very creepy as is. Since we don't see their face in the tape in Alphys's lab, maybe Chara is making her old creepy face during our direct meeting with them. (the creepy face we see if we refuse to join them is explained in the second part.) *The main part of my theory is that Chara gained elements of a monster soul while they lived in the Underground. It's a little out there, but it seems to make sense. Humans adapt easily. Any one body (or mind) tries to be like the others around it. As such, Chara might have lost a bit of their physical form over time to be like the monsters' souls. This would have weakened the soul's strength to hold determination, and you gain a lot of it during the genocide route. With so much of it going to Frisk's and Chara's shared soul, which is theoretically part monster, their physical form might melt slightly (though not completely as both characters were not born as monsters). *All of this explains how Chara could connect with a monster's soul and a human's soul. It's already known that humans can only absorb monster souls and monsters can only absorb human souls. A mix of the two elements would likely allow that soul to become part of anyone. *sorry that it's so long, but that's usually how theories are Edit: Chara is not the evil one in my eyes. The game's clear enough in saying that the player is the bad guy, or the one who decides everyone's fate. That's basically the entire game's lesson.

I'm surprised he didn't say "Characters" as "Sharesters"

(Chara didn't kill ANYONE).

i think chara is a bed part of frisk everybody in this world have a bed part

6:53 HYPER GONER

what if this entity that is controlling Chara was some sort of aftermath of the failed experiment of Gaster as we still don't know much about that.

Title: "The REAL reason why Chara wants everyone DEAD!" Me: "they don't."

Imagine if Frisk had weed killer in the neutral run.

Chara : *Hold on this was all your idea*

Alphys: is said as khara! Me: THANK YOU ALPHYS!

Is it only me,or do I feel like Chara is watching me?

Why no, there aren't any comments for me to read?! ;-;

Good theory, as always! However, one thing that quite a few anti-Chara defenders forget about is the nature of LOVE -- Level Of ViolencE (I don’t think Toby knows how abbreviations work but okay) is CHARActerized (end me) as the ability to distance yourself and hurt people. The name next to the LOVE stat isn’t Frisk's, but Chara's. They’re the one who we fed LOVE, not Frisk (who might as well be an empty puppet for all they care). Whatever approaches us with Chara's face and name at the end of the Genocide Route isn’t the first human's true self. Before they died, they seemed to have been a well-intentioned extremist with a grudge against humanity (like most of the monsters, lest we forget), but, somehow, by killing monsters with Frisk’s body as a host vessel, we corrupted CHARA, not them.

Everyone in the underground: “Chara why do you want to kill everyone” Chara: Bruv I killed myself

who would win? An entire army of humans and monsters or Some depressed kid with a knife

If she wanted everyone dead then Why is toriel.sans. and the others alive? Chara spared everyone and poisend herself to free the Monsters

No views, 1 like, 9 comments, seems legit

The player made Chara think it was ok to kill the player controlled Frisk to do gen

“I want you dead, you dead, you’re dead, and I don’t want you dead. Sike just kidding You’re dead”

WHY NOT THE MULTIVERSE?

Maybe Chara was possessed by Gaster. Her jump scare face looks very similar

us meeting chara: AHHHHHHHH merg meeting chara: ew

5:45 Wait a minute, this sounds familiar… That’s Betty! (Probably not true)
