Pretty nuts theory if they think this game is a crossover with Kairo and we're a skeleton in a chair from the start.

Speaking of this
There is absolutely no way Deltarune wont be stuffed with metaphor.

The amount of times that Toby specifically tries to make people recall Undertale, and then immediately subverting these expectations, the way the characters interact, the visual cues from the art, the metaphorical nature of the Dark World, where Lighteners give the Darkeners 'purpose'.

Toby seems to know people would immediately go for the literal readings and metaphysical speculation, and uses that to tell a story that most people would let slide right under their noses because theyre not looking for it.

Theyre playing Deltarune because theyre looking for more Undertale, but the former isnt the latter.

Honestly I'm down to pick up whatever Toby is putting down and I doubt i'd be disappointed with whatever story he chooses to tell. A lot of people will disregard the themes of the surface narrative in favor of pursuing a meta-narrative because they labor under the idea that its more meaningful because it's less accessible. I'm genuinely looking forward to the differences of Delta Rune more than the similarities, but I'll also admit that the returning cast does a lot of work to get players familiar with Undertale involved in a story that largely doesn't involve them.

Hmm. Rouxls Kaard may look like (what we think is)Gaster since, while he's in the box of cards, he's not considered part of the deck and never used in any card games.

My deepest hope for the full game is that it's revealed Rouxls is literally Gaster in a wig just bumbling around in the Dark World

Gaster is what Rouxls would become if he had to languish in an extradimensional void for a few eons. Gives you a lot of time to think, ya know?

Also I think Rouxls was dropped on his head as a baby

yeah I'm a big fan of the idea that Rouxls = this world's Gaster. They look kinda similar, esp with the droopy eyes and weird grin, but mainly I want to believe that because it'd be hilarious if the super-spoopy fan theory lightning rod turned out to be a total condescending dorkass



Gaster could 100% be Rouxls' skeleton

That's where I'm at. From our limited perspective and from our sparse knowledge, Gaster comes off as a wizened but tragic genius.

But personality wise? He's a dork and jerk!

Gaster is Rouxls's skelliton couterpart.

Sans is Lancer's Skelliton counterpart.

Ergo: at some point in this game we will meet Papyrus's fleshy doppleganger.
