In my very humble opinion I can see why people see gaster as this broken god because of his stats, game breaking abilities and how he’s portrayed in deltarune as the one who’s pulling the strings
One correction: how he *might* be being portrayed as the one pulling the strings. There’s no full confirmation yet, and what evidence we do have doesn’t necessarily mean he’s pulling *all* the strings.
About mysteryman, yes it's Gaster. The goner tells us he holds a piece of Gaster that looks like him, the memoryheads, the enemies in the true lab that have a 6 space name selection and 6 heads and a very clear connection to phones like Gaster do an attack that makes similar head appear. They also bare some ressemblance to the gaster blaster, speaking of since Sans and Papyrus appeared one day as the shopkeeper says, that they are both representative of the different aspect of the brain even seen in their right and left battle posture, and that Sans uses the Aster font and the Gaster Blaster, which is similar to the DT extractor made by Gaster that fires a laser when used by Flowey and Gaster uses a font like Papyrus and Sans, they are clearly pieces of him, which seems to match the mysteryman sprite having a white head with dark eye sockets and white pupils. As for the tree man, the music that plays is a version of "waltz of seccom masada", a music from the game yume Nikki which contains Uboa, which seems to be a loose inspiration for Gaster. The ways of meeting him also recalls Gaster and it references a line from the true lab in the fridge room. Not only that, but he's also called man, like the sprite mysteryman. The only other instance of man used is for everyman, a molded abstract representation of a human (everyman) that the amalgamates attacks with butterflies (symbol of death) which makes sense since they got damaged in the human war and try to hurt you. He also appears in graffiti in town and on Jevil's carrousel since the students don't know what a human looks like and may have drawn an everyman representation on the carrousel and wall. Anyway, everyman is said in its entirety instead of the separatz i stances of man or him so he's not Gaster or a piece of him. Not only that, but Toby has a history of exclusively deleting/replacing instances of Gaster mention... and mysteryman sprites. Like putting them to take them back after intentionnally. Of which the tarot card, so yes it's definitely Gaster. Also, Flowey, when he takes the 6 souls to fight you (Asriel is inspiree by Azazel) at the end has 6 of everything and the only additions he has on him are the DT extractor and the VHS player from the true lab which are really tied to Gaster. And what appears on the screen? That's right, a man face in black and white. Also, Asriel has supposedly inf atk but doesn't kill you in one hit, it's because they are exaggerated, the fight references his make believe playing with Chara (god of hyperdeath, mentionned in deltarune too as drawings too) although he obviously is strong af. Gaster has not just 666 or 6666 but 66666 hp, and his atk and def are off the rail at like 666 too and is the only one to offer negative rewards, since Toby made those stats only for file searchers to see, he's clearly telling us he's really really powerful. Hard to measyre compared to Asriel, but definiteky way stronger than most of the cast. I hope all those explanations even if they don't make you like Gaster, will make you not hate him as I got the impression you really misunderstood the character and it got in the way of his appreciation.
@@omniscientomnipresent5500 All that, and you fail to mention that Mystery Man appears with a fun value of 66. All other followers appear through the 60s, so they at least have one 6, with the Goners being the outliers. Additionally, Mystery Man is the only one with the Gaster disappearing sound, literally called Mystery_go, who happens to be neither labeled as a goner nor follower and seemingly appears white instead of grey. Additionally, his sprite actually has hands for starters, his head is egg-shaped, and his sprite is almost directly referenced within hidden code in deltarune. In other words, yes, he is the most likely candidate atm. But a lot of what you said here are either lose connections or pure speculation when there was much bigger proof to use the whole time.
@@GasterExplains not sure what you mean, everyone already knows the 66 and audio thing, the memoryhead connection isn't loose being in the true lab with 6 faces, 6 battle slots and doing similar heads but also having one of their own looking like a gaster blaster and many phone connections given all the phone related fun events plus deltarune gaster sound when calling in the dark world and Spamton contacted trough phone? For the two brain things their calm and collected vs enthousiasic personnality, finding either crossword or jumbled words the hardest (there's even a fun event so you pay attention to it), Sans interest for metaphysics (which btw match Gaster) opposed to Papyrus cooking, jumping out or windows, it's clearly intentionnal. With them appearing suddenly one day and both named after fonts and Sans having Aster Z and the Gaster blasters and Gaster being scattered trough Time and Space, how is that a stretch?! Also, the Flowey thing, you think it's a stretch when he has 6 souls, 6 teeth, 6 eyes, 6 mouths, 6 arms and 6 petals? The number that's so tied with Gaster? And the DT extractor made by Gaster? Flowey even references the darkners using Seam's face and with the VHS player being in the true lab too, would the face looking like Gaster really be unlikely?
@@omniscientomnipresent5500 Fun value 66 is important because of the 66666 stats. That part tends to get skipped over. It's not about just knowing it, but what it means and what it can prove.
9:29 its because of the pun that is a eASTER egg and gASTER egg, this the only reason i support this theory and id think 90% of supporters just think it because da funny.
2:06 with new evidence given by deltarune, he probably didn't fall into the core, he more probably felled in some way shape or form into dark worlds and also in my opinion when gaster was "shatered trough time and space" i think he was really shattered trough the code of the game but that just my opinion, you should watch molly star deltarune device theory and meta analysis on deltarune, the 3 videos in total have a run time of 10 hours but it worth watching
this is correct, i have a feeling that entry number 17 takes place just moments before something went completely wrong. a good analysis from "sock muppet" details that the sound that plays in the entry (mus_smile) is most likely gaster in pain, which is why it sounds like screeching of some kind. and it is also why his text is shaking, which typically happens when a monster is near death, or possibly feeling adrenaline from fear, anger, etc.
Ah yes, the root of all evil, the fandom. Seriously, these guys will send death threats to ANYONE who has a different opinion I like Gaster because of his mysteriosu nature and it does make it hard to determine who he actually is. Just a note about your theory of the "you two". One of the followers mentions that Asgore took a long time to find a replacement, implying Alphys most likely wasn't working with Asgore and by extension Gaster at the time (since he could've just used Alphys as a replacement for the time being). Overall, I do want to see where Gaster goes but I actually hope we don't get many answers since it does kinda ruin who he is (also thanks for being the first person to say GAster isn't the man behind the tree. It makes zero sense when you look at the facts)
This video basically represented my thoughts on Gaster perfectly. Something I really couldn’t put into words before. You have great talent! You got yourself a sub!
I dislike pratically all fanon takes execpt to gaster simply because we Don't know what type of person he is at all we just know that he was the scientist of asgore that probably led many people to make him of a stoic persona i think lots of scientist are potrayed like that in fiction so its Understandable same for tge powers for all we know gaster has only one attack wich is gaster blaster. Considering even a common monster has more than 2 attacks it comprehensive that the fandom gave him more abilities (they did exagerated tho💀)
@@JezElectro13 there was actually a old comic of undertale but it got deleted due to the fandom being fandom and cant be found anymore. And basically gaster was stoic but had good comidic moments
Very good point! I feel like, Gaster being this mysterious force behind the scenes is a much more cool way to look at him. Rather than him being this Ultra-Powered Mega Force that will be the last boss of Deltarune. He feels like a real-creepypasta ig. Something that should not exist but is still lurking around in the files. Which is very cool. But yea i never even realized how much people have owerblown gasters power n stuff
I can understand being annoyed with the overrepresentation of gaster. But I think it makes sense that he is part of almost every theory, since he is basically the embodiment of "six degrees of seperation" in undertale/deltarune. Even though he certainly isn't the answer to every question and treating him as that is cheap, almost anything even slightly mysterious in undertale/deltarune _can_ be tied back to gaster in some way with enough determination, and I don't think this was done unintentionally. He was shattered across time and space after all. And in my opinion, it's too late for him to be a joke figure now since he is too connected. For example, the voice from the intro can be found inside the save selection screen at the beginning of chapter 1. Considering the intro voice can't really be anyone else than gaster (or at least a another version of him, as the background music title hints at), this means that Gaster is monitoring our save files. Why would a joke figure do that? The arg-type nature of gaster also encourages a lot of wild speculation and searching for patterns in noise. This can be fruitful, like finding out that both jevils and spamtons battle themes heavily feature gasters theme, further connecting these characters, but often it also leads to a mess of confirmation bias. While I agree that the flood of gaster theories can get annoying (especially when they are based on fanon information), I also think that this was at least in part intended by toby. Otherwise he wouldn't have built him up for so long. What exact role gaster will play in deltarune remains to be seen, but my personal guess is that his importance more or less matches floweys or charas in undertale. Maybe he isn't the central antagonist, but he is important to the themes and both regular and meta-narrative. I also have some notes I want to share. I think "another him" is almost definitely referencing Gaster's theme, since Gaster's theme is called mus_st_him.ogg in the files. Gaster falling into the core is also not confirmed, he fell into "his creation", but it's unspecified what that is. Entry 17 can be interpreted as experimenting with dark worlds, which very well could have been what he fell into, somehow shattering him. The tarot cards aren't unique, mystery man has a habit of being on official merch when first releasing but then suddenly disappearing. Gaster is connected to the prophecy. There is a snapshot on the internet archive of a file on the deltarune website which contains part of the prophecy in wingdings. I also wanted to add that in sans' lab the drawer has further dialogue after talking to clamgirl - (There's a photo album inside the drawer.) - (There are photos of... Huh?) - (A card is sticking out from the back flap of the binder.) - (It's a poorly drawn picture of three smiling people.) (Written on it...) - "don't forget." Since clamgirl is somehow connected to both deltarune (she mentions her neighbour suzy) and possibly gaster (in the switch version, after talking to her she turns greyscale like the gaster followers and says that the time you meet suzy is fast approaching), this also ties undertale sans to deltarune.
Fun fact: The person we associate with Gaster is called the “Mystery Man” in files, NOT “Gaster,” and the main reason people called him Gaster because of a fucking FANON card game thing
actually the reason we call him gaster is because its literally mentioned in the game dude, plus with the added factor of the fun value required for the "mysteryman" encounter being 66 (gaster's stats are 666 in the code) all you need to do is put two and two together.
My theory is that Toby removed the Gaster card cause Gaster is not an Undertale character, he may of originated from that world but he is primarily a Deltarune character. I do think he’ll be important to Deltarune (probably not a villain) and he is related to the secret bosses/ egg man.
Something that always irked me was the headcanon of Gaster being literally related to Sans & Papyrus (especially being some father). YES, he has a fontname like them. Yet, I couldn't never see how he's a skeleton. Sans & Papyrus have skull like shapes. But Gaster? I don't see it. Doesn't make sense to me. He looks more like a blob wearing a mask. There's literal slimes and AIRPLANE monsters. We can SEE that.
Heck, how about this theory? Sans & Papyrus were once *human*. Hired by Gaster to help him build the core before the war. Gaster fell, Core went nuts and vaporized their skin & organs yet the magic kept them alive. They couldn't go back to their homes, war happens, they get trapped as well while hiding and eventually revealed themselves but never mention who they once were. Hence why they "just appeared" They turn to dust because their bones are being held together only by magic. No one would recognize them. blah blah blah. As for why they're skeletons in Deltarune? Since they were there when Gaster fell, every iteration of them was affected across time & space. Maybe the Followers were other *monsters* who were caught in the blast. As for their names? who would believe they're the ones who helped build the Core? They're skeletons, not humans. So they took the names Sans & Papyrus because Gaster had the name of a font and when they realized other monsters didn't do the same, they couldn't change it because everyone now knew them as Sans & Papyrus. However, I'm completely willing to throw this out once we ever get something CANON.
@@dawnyzero0 I don't think your theory makes much sense. If sans and papyrus were human, they would have human souls, something that they definitely don't have in undertale. And if the core was able to transmute human souls to monster souls, why shouldn't it be able to do the reverse. If that is the case, then the entire plot of undertale would have been pointless. Additionally, if they were hired before the war, it's highly unlikely that they not only never met another monster, but that gaster never even mentioned another monster. And the genocide fight dialogue implies sans doesn't consider the surface his home. If he was human, why wouldn't he? And unless papyrus is constantly lying and manipulating people or for some reason had amnesia, his behaviour and dialogue is entirely incompatible with him being human. If he was lying, flowey would have had to have noticed at some point and if does have amnesia, why doesn't sans? It also doesn't really explain why sans and papyrus speak in different fonts. If the core did it, then how? And it's not even confirmed that gaster fell into the core, it could have been another of his creations, possibly a dark world (entry 17 can be interpeted to be about dark worlds). I don't think gaster is biologically related to sans or papyrus. But sans and papyrus are the only monsters that speak in a different font, and their names match their font. Since entry 17 is presumably gaster talking, and not writing something (you can hear the letters making sounds like with other dialogue), this would show that gaster is also talking in a different font, and is maybe named after it. Gaster is the only other monster to do this (aside from redacted, but redacted is debatably canon, since it's protected by the dogcheck, unlike entry 17), so while he may not be biologically related to sans and papyrus, he is like them in some way. What that shared something is, is unknown, but it's not unreasonable to assume that it's could be because he's a skeleton. The mysteryman sprite isn't really that strong evidence for his appearance anyway, since it's not confimed to be gaster, and even if it is, it's at most a piece of him, which could change his appearance. Gaster was shattered across time and space. One of the gaster followers is holding a piece of him, which looks nothing like the mysteryman, but rather like a head or a skull and I don't think just a head could build the core.
@@terra_creeper Good points. Sorry, I didn't really mean to take my random idea seriously. Made it on the spot. I meant that we could cook up *any* kind of wild theory. The point is we don't have the full picture. Apart from a name, the other characters, the setting and so on, we don't know much about this ONE particular character.
@@dawnyzero0 You're right. But that also means that we have to be even more focused on what we do know. And sans, papyrus and gaster have something font-related in common. We don't know what, but it exists. Since sans' and papyrus' orgin is maybe just as mysterious as gasters disappearance, it makes sense to connect those two pieces. Overspeculation is bad when treated as factual, but until toby decides to reveal more information, it's all we have.
To be fair gaster might be stronger than evryone beacose sans is the strongest boss in the game and papairous is holding back when you fight him. So papairous might be ass strong as sans and gaster is also a skeleton so he might be stronger than both. Any way this video has proven it self to be very, VERY interesting
the reason i said he isnt the most powerful is because omega flowey has 9's as his stats and asriel is infinite, meaning at least as we know of gaster has to be at least third place :)
bro video is wrong, 1 appearance gaster canon, all illustrations and fan scales which created tobi, there is gaster, and he disappears as always, and there is a game Yuumi Niku, and there are 2 guys one he is passionate and another in the ship, and tobi quickly inspired, 2
"this image of him will always be relevant" well yeah because people spread blatant misinformation about fan art and a non-canon headcanon appearance of gaster based off of "mystery man" who may or may not even be him.
Secondly adding to my previous comment... It's possible all these themes associated with gaster were never meant for gaster specifically but for the themes of "mysterious/omnious" or even super natural activity atleast in comparison to the rest of the game. And yeah I'd say sans fight is really super natural as if dying and reloading so many times is altering the fabric of reality. Then the dark worlds&darkeners which themselves are really mysterious.
You actually didn't go off on gaster and theorists enough I think. Damn everyone's too lenient on theorists. Heres my thoughts: Gaster isn't in deltarune. He will never be seen in person in deltarune. He absolutely isn't the knight based on his characterization thus far of being a seemingly long dead guy who no one remembers who died in an industrial accident basically. he's the closest thing undertale has had to a creepypasta in game and I feel this is all that was meant to happen for him. I do personally headcanon him and the goners as victims of flowey before the events of the game. Also something odd is him being portrayed as this aggressive evil force when mystery man who everyone assumes is gaster just vanishes when you first encounter him regardless of your route. It's very similar to au's assuming sans is all powerful and can see across all timelines when all he did was overwrite a safe guard for the player.

One correction: how he *might* be being portrayed as the one pulling the strings. There’s no full confirmation yet, and what evidence we do have doesn’t necessarily mean he’s pulling *all* the strings.
About mysteryman, yes it's Gaster.
The goner tells us he holds a piece of Gaster that looks like him, the memoryheads, the enemies in the true lab that have a 6 space name selection and 6 heads and a very clear connection to phones like Gaster do an attack that makes similar head appear.

As for the tree man, the music that plays is a version of "waltz of seccom masada", a music from the game yume Nikki which contains Uboa, which seems to be a loose inspiration for Gaster. The ways of meeting him also recalls Gaster and it references a line from the true lab in the fridge room. Not only that, but he's also called man, like the sprite mysteryman.

Not only that, but Toby has a history of exclusively deleting/replacing instances of Gaster mention... and mysteryman sprites. Like putting them to take them back after intentionnally. Of which the tarot card, so yes it's definitely Gaster.
Also, Flowey, when he takes the 6 souls to fight you (Asriel is inspiree by Azazel) at the end has 6 of everything and the only additions he has on him are the DT extractor and the VHS player from the true lab which are really tied to Gaster. And what appears on the screen? That's right, a man face in black and white.
Also, Asriel has supposedly inf atk but doesn't kill you in one hit, it's because they are exaggerated, the fight references his make believe playing with Chara (god of hyperdeath, mentionned in deltarune too as drawings too) although he obviously is strong af.
Gaster has not just 666 or 6666 but 66666 hp, and his atk and def are off the rail at like 666 too and is the only one to offer negative rewards, since Toby made those stats only for file searchers to see, he's clearly telling us he's really really powerful. Hard to measyre compared to Asriel, but definiteky way stronger than most of the cast.

Otherwise he wouldn't have built him up for so long. What exact role gaster will play in deltarune remains to be seen, but my personal guess is that his importance more or less matches floweys or charas in undertale. Maybe he isn't the central antagonist, but he is important to the themes and both regular and meta-narrative.
I also have some notes I want to share.
I think "another him" is almost definitely referencing Gaster's theme, since Gaster's theme is called mus_st_him.ogg in the files.
Gaster falling into the core is also not confirmed, he fell into "his creation", but it's unspecified what that is. Entry 17 can be interpreted as experimenting with dark worlds, which very well could have been what he fell into, somehow shattering him.
The tarot cards aren't unique, mystery man has a habit of being on official merch when first releasing but then suddenly disappearing.
Gaster is connected to the prophecy. There is a snapshot on the internet archive of a file on the deltarune website which contains part of the prophecy in wingdings.
I also wanted to add that in sans' lab the drawer has further dialogue after talking to clamgirl
- (There's a photo album inside the drawer.)
- (There are photos of... Huh?)
- (A card is sticking out from the back flap of the binder.)
- (It's a poorly drawn picture of three smiling people.) (Written on it...)
- "don't forget."
Since clamgirl is somehow connected to both deltarune (she mentions her neighbour suzy) and possibly gaster (in the switch version, after talking to her she turns greyscale like the gaster followers and says that the time you meet suzy is fast approaching), this also ties undertale sans to deltarune.
YES FINNALY HE GETS IT.
I do really like gaster, but I had the same dislike you have to gaster from the fandom for me to sans.
seriously, i really like a lot of undertale characters but sometimes its like leave the poor pixelated men alone 😭
Fun fact: The person we associate with Gaster is called the “Mystery Man” in files, NOT “Gaster,” and the main reason people called him Gaster because of a fucking FANON card game thing
Me when TH-cam refuses to let me delete comments cuz I realize it’s mentioned in the vid: 🤬🤬🤬🤬😭😭😭😭😡😡😡
@@PierreHW 😂😂😂😂(not toxic laguh)
@@Stairsgrandmafell nice, I’m glad you found me funny :)
actually the reason we call him gaster is because its literally mentioned in the game dude, plus with the added factor of the fun value required for the "mysteryman" encounter being 66 (gaster's stats are 666 in the code) all you need to do is put two and two together.
1:49 ping!
i probably got dm'd some footage by my friend while recording haha 😅
My theory is that Toby removed the Gaster card cause Gaster is not an Undertale character, he may of originated from that world but he is primarily a Deltarune character. I do think he’ll be important to Deltarune (probably not a villain) and he is related to the secret bosses/ egg man.
If you make EGG into wing dings it makes left up up the same move a knight makes in chess
Ok but like, Rouxl is definitely Gaster, it’s right there in the face! Lolololol
guys its ding gaster
Lore of i hate gaster momentum 100
I hate it when people confuse cannon gaster with fannon gaster
Yes. Gayster.
Something that always irked me was the headcanon of Gaster being literally related to Sans & Papyrus (especially being some father). YES, he has a fontname like them. Yet, I couldn't never see how he's a skeleton. Sans & Papyrus have skull like shapes. But Gaster? I don't see it. Doesn't make sense to me.
He looks more like a blob wearing a mask. There's literal slimes and AIRPLANE monsters. We can SEE that.
Heck, how about this theory?
Sans & Papyrus were once *human*. Hired by Gaster to help him build the core before the war.
Gaster fell, Core went nuts and vaporized their skin & organs yet the magic kept them alive. They couldn't go back to their homes, war happens, they get trapped as well while hiding and eventually revealed themselves but never mention who they once were. Hence why they "just appeared"
They turn to dust because their bones are being held together only by magic. No one would recognize them. blah blah blah.
As for why they're skeletons in Deltarune? Since they were there when Gaster fell, every iteration of them was affected across time & space.
Maybe the Followers were other *monsters* who were caught in the blast.
As for their names? who would believe they're the ones who helped build the Core? They're skeletons, not humans. So they took the names Sans & Papyrus because Gaster had the name of a font and when they realized other monsters didn't do the same, they couldn't change it because everyone now knew them as Sans & Papyrus.
However, I'm completely willing to throw this out once we ever get something CANON.
@@dawnyzero0 I don't think your theory makes much sense. If sans and papyrus were human, they would have human souls, something that they definitely don't have in undertale. And if the core was able to transmute human souls to monster souls, why shouldn't it be able to do the reverse. If that is the case, then the entire plot of undertale would have been pointless. Additionally, if they were hired before the war, it's highly unlikely that they not only never met another monster, but that gaster never even mentioned another monster. And the genocide fight dialogue implies sans doesn't consider the surface his home. If he was human, why wouldn't he? And unless papyrus is constantly lying and manipulating people or for some reason had amnesia, his behaviour and dialogue is entirely incompatible with him being human. If he was lying, flowey would have had to have noticed at some point and if does have amnesia, why doesn't sans? It also doesn't really explain why sans and papyrus speak in different fonts. If the core did it, then how? And it's not even confirmed that gaster fell into the core, it could have been another of his creations, possibly a dark world (entry 17 can be interpeted to be about dark worlds).
I don't think gaster is biologically related to sans or papyrus. But sans and papyrus are the only monsters that speak in a different font, and their names match their font. Since entry 17 is presumably gaster talking, and not writing something (you can hear the letters making sounds like with other dialogue), this would show that gaster is also talking in a different font, and is maybe named after it. Gaster is the only other monster to do this (aside from redacted, but redacted is debatably canon, since it's protected by the dogcheck, unlike entry 17), so while he may not be biologically related to sans and papyrus, he is like them in some way. What that shared something is, is unknown, but it's not unreasonable to assume that it's could be because he's a skeleton. The mysteryman sprite isn't really that strong evidence for his appearance anyway, since it's not confimed to be gaster, and even if it is, it's at most a piece of him, which could change his appearance. Gaster was shattered across time and space. One of the gaster followers is holding a piece of him, which looks nothing like the mysteryman, but rather like a head or a skull and I don't think just a head could build the core.
@@terra_creeper Good points.
Sorry, I didn't really mean to take my random idea seriously. Made it on the spot. I meant that we could cook up *any* kind of wild theory. The point is we don't have the full picture. Apart from a name, the other characters, the setting and so on, we don't know much about this ONE particular character.
@@dawnyzero0 You're right. But that also means that we have to be even more focused on what we do know. And sans, papyrus and gaster have something font-related in common. We don't know what, but it exists. Since sans' and papyrus' orgin is maybe just as mysterious as gasters disappearance, it makes sense to connect those two pieces. Overspeculation is bad when treated as factual, but until toby decides to reveal more information, it's all we have.
@@terra_creeper Man... You're right.
Still, fun to come up with theories.
To be fair gaster might be stronger than evryone beacose sans is the strongest boss in the game and papairous is holding back when you fight him. So papairous might be ass strong as sans and gaster is also a skeleton so he might be stronger than both. Any way this video has proven it self to be very, VERY interesting
the reason i said he isnt the most powerful is because omega flowey has 9's as his stats and asriel is infinite, meaning at least as we know of gaster has to be at least third place :)
@Sebton23 yea, but both of them absorbed the 6 human souls, so yea.
@@lefkiostheocharous5824 both of who?\
@Sebton23 in game stats he's higher then anybody else and exist in a place beyond existence
@sonicthehedgehog1606 not true, flowey's stats are straight 9's and asriel's are infinite
I'M WING GASTER

Devious.
gaster is cool
bro video is wrong, 1 appearance gaster canon, all illustrations and fan scales which created tobi, there is gaster, and he disappears as always, and there is a game Yuumi Niku, and there are 2 guys one he is passionate and another in the ship, and tobi quickly inspired, 2
100th Subscriber heck yeah.
gaster x sans is believable his vibes are very twinky
wa wa
NICE VID EARNED A SUB!!!
11:58 GOKU?!
WD MEANS WINDGINGS
"this image of him will always be relevant" well yeah because people spread blatant misinformation about fan art and a non-canon headcanon appearance of gaster based off of "mystery man" who may or may not even be him.
it's pretty obvious mystery man is him, I'm sorry but you're just being contrary if you don't think so
Love the vid
Atleast he got no ships other than everyone💀
Secondly adding to my previous comment... It's possible all these themes associated with gaster were never meant for gaster specifically but for the themes of "mysterious/omnious" or even super natural activity atleast in comparison to the rest of the game. And yeah I'd say sans fight is really super natural as if dying and reloading so many times is altering the fabric of reality. Then the dark worlds&darkeners which themselves are really mysterious.
it makes me mad how toby could just be messing with the fandom and just says something like "idk" or "i forgot" that would be a shame
how you gonna hate someone who doesnt even exist 💀
... Gaster if my father
Kirs isn’t the fucking knight
they’re the knight for chapter 3 though. but yeah, i doubt they made the first two fountains
Gaster is frisk
👍
Gps
Gaster
Papyrus
Sans
Obviously Papyrus is a knight cmon.
so are you saying that the quiet man is pissing you off?
If Tobe didn't like it that much he would not have made glitchtale Cannon.
And I do believe gaster is not the strongest moster
Toby Fox never Made glitchtale canon lol
what the hell are you talking about 😭
If you search up is glitchtail cannon, it will say some aspects are cannon. So I did misread it my mistake.
4:48 bro is NOT Scott Cawthon 😭🙏
nice video
I hate AUs more.
epic
You actually didn't go off on gaster and theorists enough I think. Damn everyone's too lenient on theorists. Heres my thoughts: Gaster isn't in deltarune. He will never be seen in person in deltarune. He absolutely isn't the knight based on his characterization thus far of being a seemingly long dead guy who no one remembers who died in an industrial accident basically. he's the closest thing undertale has had to a creepypasta in game and I feel this is all that was meant to happen for him. I do personally headcanon him and the goners as victims of flowey before the events of the game. Also something odd is him being portrayed as this aggressive evil force when mystery man who everyone assumes is gaster just vanishes when you first encounter him regardless of your route. It's very similar to au's assuming sans is all powerful and can see across all timelines when all he did was overwrite a safe guard for the player.
i disliked your video how dare you talk about gaster like this
blasphemy
No offense, but this is probably the reason why you don’t have 300 subs you were wrong about all everything pretty much
@@damianjase1684 What'd I say that was wrong?
