  • So... You want to hear about the craziest theory in Deltarune history. Because in This Video, I argue that Deltarunes Secret boss Plotline, and the characters of Jevil from Deltarune chapter 1 and Spamton from Deltarune chapter 2, are actually a Reference to a Episode of the Twilight zone "5 Characters in search of a exit"...
    Tonight's episode of the Twilight zone is Somewhat Unique and calls for a different kind of introduction...
    0:00 Intro
    1:47 Plot Synopsis
    5:02 Narative Parallels
    6:14 Jevil
    7:14 Spamton
    7:55 The 5 character Theory
    9:13 How Gaster fits in
    Anyway if Im youtubing now... Like and subscribe

    EDIT: Thank you so much for 10K Views, as a thank you, ill answer some Frequently asked questions:
    "Why isnt Spamton the major"
    This is my most common FAQ. Put simply i think the Major has to be the last conventional secret boss (chapter 5) since the Major and the clown are the main characters in the episode, and exact opposites. Plus the Major actually broke free from the cylinder, whereas Spamton couldn't "See past the dark". Also I'm really confident with the Spamton and hobo death connection.
    "Will the bagpiper play the song from the sea"
    that's a idea i didn't think about. the song from the sea is very complex. I don't think i can answer that one (AKA Thats a future theory. Another crazy one, so very on brand)...
    "So is Gaster the chapter 6 secret boss"
    I personally don’t think Gaster will be a secret boss for chapter 6/7. I don’t know/cant predict how many secret bosses the game will have but it might just be 5 (If its more, they wont fit into the theory). However I personally do think that Gaster will be Introduced as a character in chapter 6. After “the Majors” attempt to escape. IDK what Gasters role in the story plot wise will be, but I’m really confident with the Grey door connection and the musical comparison (even if my understanding of music theory is non existent.
    "So is Gaster Rod Sterling"
    Well i didn't want to say it... but Possibly. personally was thinking of Gaster as more of a representation of the "Twilight zone" itself.

    When I first heard Gaster’s theme, I immediately thought of The Twilight Zone. It has to be the inspiration for it.
    Anyways, about the ballerina, she’s the one who suggests that she and the other prisoners are “unloved.” For the longest time, I’ve had the hunch the chapter 3 would have a secret boss longing to be loved. So far the secret bosses had an internal conflict that Kris also has (Jevil and being disillusion, plus Spamton and fear of losing control). I feel at least one of the secret bosses will have to relate to Kris’ fear of being unloved. I have a strong feeling that Chapter 3’s secret boss will be a former entertainer (possibly a ballerina) who used to be adored by everyone who now has no one who cares about them. Kris, who feels abandoned by their brother and worries their parents will do the same, can relate.

    I especially think you are spot on with the ballerina’s characterization for the chapter 3 boss. With the existing parallels between jevil and spamton with Chris and Susie respectively it stands to reason the next secret boss will be a Ralsei stand in. The ballerina’s total consignment to her fate could mirror Ralsei’s obedience and themes of pre-destiny. Just one more bit of evidence for the pile.

    Well, I am not the biggest fan of people using different pieces of literature to predict the future of Deltarune (see skys forever blue) but this one seemed a little interesting to me. The moment I saw the part where the characters turned to toys, I knew you were on to something with this one.
    The grey door was something interesting though. The connection of Gaster's theme with the Twilight Zone theme however, there's some similarities there. The intervals aren't the same but the repeating arpeggio element is there. I don't think these two have any connection though with how common arpeggios are in music.
    I don't know, there's a lot of coincidences with this one. Some of the same or similar ideas and themes are there but that's about it.

    I don't you if you intended this gut the way you describe how the characters related to the chapter 3,4 and 5 secret bosses reminded me of how Foane, Helel and Occazio. One trying repeatedly to reach freedom for who knows how long and eventually giving up, one being entirely uninterested in it in favour of their own goals and the last being the most knowledgable and refusing to fail where all others have.

      It was coincidental BUT I did realise the connection Between the Major and Occazio when writing the script. But Although Foane and Occazio do line up surprisingly well, the Bagpiper Doesn't fit with Halel IMO. My idea behind the bagpiper is a character whos denying being a secret boss, "Jevil but with denial" as i put it. Whereas Halel is way more knowledgeable, Shes more motivated by Greif and anger.
      If you want a Fandom secret boss to compare the Bagpiper too, Solis by Marineflames might work better. A character who is so extremely in denial of what the shadow crystal gave them that hes willing to rewind time to go back to before he got the crystal

    @tierghan5433 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I’m not gonna lie, this has some good water to hold. While I can believe that Toby could have gotten inspiration from the twilight zone episode, im not sure how much of a extent he would plan to use it. The gray door, the trapped people being toys, and the parallels with the hobo and clown fit really well. The only issue is that i don’t think that Toby would take this much from just one episode of the twilight zone. This would be basing whatever the origin of the secret bosses and gaster on top of a story outside of the scope of the game, something I don’t think he would write that easily. Not to mention that if the internet where to discover the connections before the game comes out, there would be a high chance that they would be spoiled, something I think Toby would like to avoid. He may have used the toy characters for references for the first two secret bosses, but now plans to not use the other toys for the rest, either using inspiration from other obscure media (I’m not saying TZ is obscure, just the episode is as it’s one of many the show had produced) for the rest of the bosses or just writing them from his and his teams own creativity. Time will only tell though, as he already has the major story beats written for the rest of the game, so changing them now is unlikely, even if this therroy is right and he prioritizes letting the community not guess the next step in the story.
    All in all though, this is a fun theory. I see some parts are probably about 95% true to the case, and I can’t wait to see how this ages when the rest of the chapters come out.

    if i may add on to this, the ballerina could actually work as either a green soul fight (DDR) or the purple mode (which resembles music notes/a rhythmic dance from line to line); assuming chess theory is proven correct and the 4th dark world is in the church; the bagpiper could work as some sort of discarded instrument(broken church organ?), with the aforementioned soul modes still working due to the musical nature of the fight. the major could honestly work as any of the other colors, due to his bravery in trying to escape the prison, patience in convincing his fellow prisoners to help in said escape, and his integrity shown by him staying constantly focused and not giving up hope despite his odds (though i personally lean towards bravery since it is the most "martial" of the soul traits)

    Do I think this is the answer to Deltarune? No, but I think you're dead on that it's very clearly inspired. I doubt things will line up perfectly, they already don't really with Spamton and the hobo, but I had the thought myself that the Mystery Man theme had a weird similarity to the Twilight Zone theme, and the various phases of denial and acceptance of the secret bosses also lines up incredibly well.
    I don't think it's a stretch that Toby Fox would intentionally hearken your mind back to Mr. Serling specifically to invoke that same uneasy feeling that the show presents you with. The black and white theme, the gray door, and even the appearance of the Mystery Man all line up way too well. I'm surprised you didn't mention it, but one of the biggest hallmarks of Gaster so far seems to be the monochrome appearance of his followers, almost as if he's viewing the world through the perspective of an old TV show...

    8:05 My oc is literally the major. My character known as the pawn is the leader as well as secret boss of the chapter 5 dark world. He strongly goes against fate as he wants Kris soul to be able to have choice and to stop the knight on his own. Not necessarily similar but he as a leader of people not aware of their prison he has to put a facade which slowly cracks due to pressure and opportunity for freedom provided by your soul. Their soul type is blue or integrity as they are an Important but mistreated item in the light world specifically an item in sans' shop which is the dark world location. The trait matches as integrity is honesty and he can't be honest about his feelings because his people will think he's crazy like the other secret bosses. He goes against the other secret bosses in different ways(despises jevil's denial of being free and spamton's reliance on others and a similar major lack of integrity as an advertising salesman) though it isn't relevant to the theory. He is like sans in undertale who thinks they can't stop you but the difference is that pawn tries to anyways like Spamton. Though Jevil is in acceptance so he refuses to try, he is in denial because he accepted his fate. Also because he is the dark world leader, during a weird route of sorts, he can build a mech like giga queen to stop you, except this time is much worse. The major attempting to break free can represent the pawn seeing the state of how and who created them(explaining a hatred for sans) as well as breaking free of the knight's control. He accepts that he can't break free but still places his hopes on kris to be happy as the one who truly understands their plight.
    Also Solis. If you know you know.
    Though he fights against fate rather than acceptance and dream but he IS a ballerina, so 1/2 points.

    You know, I saw a lot of people theorize about what would happen if you opened a Dark Fountain in a Dark World.
    What if it gave access to an area called the Twilight Zone, and it's in this Twilight Zone that Dess is trapped ?

      @@ValueNetwork Well that's all I got actually ^^' My theory is more of a speculation with no actual evidence that's based on this possible Deltarune inspiration that is Twilight Zone.
      As for the Dark Fountain in a Dark World thing, I didn't come up with it and I'm pretty sure there are several videos diving in the subject better than I would ^^' So I'll let you search for that if you want.

    id like to see some sort of a rundown on obscure media references in undertale/deltarune. theories like this i think rely on toby having consumed all pieces of media ever created

  • @necrotia
    @necrotia ปีที่แล้ว +10

    If we assume that the narrator at the beginning of Deltarune is Gaster, it's possible to imagine that the 6th and 7th characters represent Gaster/The Narrator from The Twilight Zone and the Player/Viewer. This interpretation arises from the similarity between Gaster and The Narrator as omnipresent entities who directly present intriguing stories for observation directly us the Viewer.
    The whole line of "...We will not end the nightmare, we'll only explain it..." reads a lot like a thing that Gaster would only say like in Entry 13 or Toby's Twitter "Hacks".
    Furthermore, both Deltarune and The Twilight Zone share the element of a liminal drug trip in their introductions. This parallel is notable as it sets the stage for both of their subsequent stories. It's interesting to note that the themes of "ANOTHER HIM" in Deltarune's introduction contain the Gaster Leitmotif, while The Twilight Zone's theme has been mentioned to sound similar to Gaster's Theme.
    inb4 the Player's Vessel and Gaster become optional superbosses for 310%-ing the game

    I just realised that the Twilight Zone guy (I don't know his name) looks strangely similar to Gaster, the black suit, and white middle part. It's just that gaster has no hair. Also Gaster is someone who is beyond the regular world, the curator (twilight zone guy) is shown to beyond everything, sitting in the stars sometimes, watching everything going on while nobody else notices him, just as gaster has a good chance of not being seen, unnoticed.

    I have a question, have you seen The Amazing Digital Circus? Because I think this theory can also apply to that as well. This theory makes sense to Deltarune, and I know Gooseworx has done alot of Deltarune content in the past. Since TADC is their work, I wonder if this theory can apply to that as well? What do you think?

    And I think there may be a sort of tie in to the canceled show too...
    Them feeling grief, yet want to escape this purgatory.
    I think breaking the secret Boss' arm would be the way to end it... A severing that denies them access to Heaven. For them to realize they cannot move to the higher existence.

    I believe ur theory more than you do. I doubt its all based on the 1 episode but inowing toby i could see him taking heavy inspiration from the Twilight zone. The parallel that really makes it apparent is the door in my opinion
    Halfbreadchaos made video about the OG mysteryman sprite and the Horse stable and how it might've been an Alpha version to the Mystery man event. The fact that the doors has the 4 engraved pannels just like twilight zone is uncanny, Toby could've made the door look like any other door in the game but chose that one and i find that....very...very... interesting :)

    Also Kris Sporting the look of a knight does fit the military theme of the major

      1) I put the Major in 5th because the clown is 1st. Also because the last secret boss being the strongest and most knowledgeable makes sense to me

    The only evidence for this is that The Speed Force has allowed Barry to cause a reset while retaining his memories, much like how we, The Player, also can cause resets that no one else remembers, besides select individuals (Chara for definite, Maybe Gaster and Kris (although Kris is a shot in the *dark* you might say)).
