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
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.
@AleNoConstancy Listen, we never heard of anything to do with fusing armour, however my point has lots lots of evidence, undyne talks about determination a hole lot, she is involved with alphys and alphys has a lot to do with determination so something could have happened there, the list goes on. Also ima sub 2 your channel u seem like a cool dude
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.
I agree completely, and would like to add that I believe that Chara remains evil (instead of regaining empathy like Asriel did when he had souls) because she takes on your bastard murdersoul after erasing the timeline where you kill everyone she ever cared about.
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.
Good job! Now, If you watched this video, (or just confirmed it yourself) Congrats your 18% of the smart people in the Undertale fandom! th-cam.com/video/MYHXpdNqdGs/w-d-xo.html
@@m4zked._m4rionette I thought of that myself when I realized she was the narrator, but that video really helped me put the thoughts together better in my head.
Chara could be evil because they wanted to finish what Asriel couldn’t; kill humanity. Chara said that we eradicated the enemy and became strong. And when you kill, you can earn more LV or XP, which makes you stronger. And Chara said that the reason behind their incarnation is power, from YOU. YOU sell them your soul, filled with the power you made from killing. A couple more Genocide routes, and more souls to sell, Chara could use that power and erase humanity entirely. Also, Jayson Karrender, Chara didn’t did this to just free the monsters, they did this to kill humanity.
@@katuwu2832 eh, there is a theory with some large evidence that chara is the narrator in all routes (if you say that chara is only the red text, red and yellow text is meant to show strong emotion in undertale)
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.
Lets just pretend they didn't poison Asgore and then laugh about it- Or when they poisoned themselves and piloted the Asriel/Chara body to go attack humans... only to have ASRIEL refuse and walk their combined body back to the Underground.
@@TheSkyGuy77 “cHara laughed at AsGoRe being poisoned!!” No, they didn’t. There are tons of characters in the game that use laughter as a coping mechanism for pain. Sans tells jokes despite being depressed, the villagers in Snowdin laugh away their sadness, Snowdrake’s father describes his sad life, laughs, then says “that’s not funny”. Toriel and Undyne laugh when they’re about to die, Mettaton literally says “My poor love! I’m so filled with grief, I can’t stop laughing!”

@@user-wl3zk6kj3q sorry but, player which mean US has a REALLY HUGE place in the story. Because of course we're the one who chooses to do fight or mercy, we were the one who got to have the decision.

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.
"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
-_- 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.
Flame Raven ähm...no...Your always speaking in 3rd Person, but in Genocide you talk in 1st Person which means that Chara is talking and is probably controlling you
Yara DB how can they be "controling" you??? the only times that the protagonist moves/does something on thier own is near the end of genocide - running up to monster kid, 2nd attack on sans, oblirating flowey to ashes, & in pacifist/neutral route stepping forward to omega flowey, other then that its *YOU* the player that *controls them*
@@brainlessguy1 How does that suggest that they were evil? I simply said something they said was interesting. I stated nothing regarding the morality of the character.
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.
I've always wondered if the world was ever actually destroyed by Chara. I've always gotten the impression that Frisk killed Chara before he/she could destroy the world and because Chara gained all their determination they reloaded back to before they died... at the moment they gave soul to Asriel. Of course, saying no prevents the entire plot of Undertale so of course saying no will prevent you from playing the game... it never exists to play.
+Bruce wyane Well, I did forget to add that this was partly my opinion, and I don't want to disrespect these guys since they are a good channel, but I don't see their basis on how Chara was evil or not. I know that this is up to interpretation, but I just really hate so many people hate Chara and call them evil etc when the Player is the one who committed Genocide in the first place. Nothing bad would've happened if they didn't play Genocide, even though it is part of the main experience and message Undertale may be trying to project. Really, I don't see why there's so much hate for a child, when you look at it from an unbiased view. They make it seem like Chara IS a bad person, and it isn't even up to debate. They say, and I quote '...they undeniably possess unfathomable power and horrifying intentions...' from their comment, and I don't like how they stated it as if it was fact. But in the end, it's my mainly opinion.
Like I just said, I call into question whether or not Chara was even the one speaking at the end of the game. I have a sneaking suspicion that both of them are talking. I think when Chara says "I am the feeling when increase" they are trying to convey to the player that in some way they are what allows beings like Sans to detect their evil intentions. They aren't the evil possessing Frisk. They are the only thing left standing between Frisk and the utter extermination of mankind: they're conscience. I don't think Chara is literally their conscience. I just mean that I think Chara's been in some way unable to make real impact and so they stats and things that Sans and Flowey and others can detect to watch for abusers of determination is something that Chara does. After all, the code that checks whether you just killed something didn't kill that thing in the game. It just detected it and incremented the value. Chara is likely the entity that does that altering. They're the world's bookeeper.
+Great Duck That is certainly an interesting theory, though I don't think that that's the case, though it may be plausible. The reason I don't think that's the case is that if Chara was Frisk's conscience, then does that mean Chara was nothing but a figment of Frisk's imagination? They did say they were awakened by Frisk's DT, but in your logistics, wouldn't that mean Frisk didn't have a conscience before that? And if they were on watch for abusers of DT, why didn't they step in Flowey was doing all the RESETS? Or stop Frisk earlier in the Genocide run? What I think, which is up to speculation, is that Chara became something like a complicated ghost, that was reawakened by Frisk's DT, as their soul was once upon a time one of DT as well. They followed Fisk and helped them along their journey, narrating things as they go. Depending on which path you take, Chara could be an optimist, a pessimist, or downright messed up, since they are watching everything you do. It would also explain why when you battle Asgore and Toriel the narration is silent, and such. Really, I'm a big fan of the Narrator Chara theory, and I think it has many plausible points. Though, in the Geno run, I think that they power that you've been obtaining; your LV, is being fed into Chara, giving them power. That may be why they were able to appear physically in front of the Player, and ultimately ERASE the world, which is the consequence of the Player's actions.
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?)
Undertale isn't black and white, you should know that by now. And why does it matter that "Underlab is better at theories than JB"? That doesn't make their theory wrong! There is a LOT more evidence supporting Chara not being an evil genocidal maniac!
*facepalm* Really... some people are so stubborn. Heres something to prove you're wrong. You're saying your opinion of which theorist is better. THEY ARE EQUAL. BOTH ARE REALLY GOOD. THERE IS NO WAY TO SAY WHICH IS BETTER. And Judgement boy made two Chara episodes to prove their point. DETERMINATION at the finest. So please stop saying, "Underlab is better than Judgement Boy," because there is NO WAY to say really which theory is better. Sure, Underlab may be more popular, but does popularity help theory-wise? No. Well, in your thing... Yes. However, thats just the fact more people like them more. Doesn't say JB's theories are ineffective or worse, just means this: Underlab looks better. You used looks in your theory basically. You're basically proven wrong now.
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!
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
I'm late BUT, you're incredibly wrong. Undertale isn't like our world at all, it has its own properties. Determination is just a nickname for some powerful energy and/or power that can invade an entire universe. To make a long story short, undertale was created to show the power of the SOUL, we the player are the SOUL energy. There is a HUGE subreddit on this topic and now that deltarune is out everything is coming together for who we are as the player. Chara is not a villain, in fact, they wanted to take 6 human souls to break the barrier (that was their plan with Asriel). Determination was absorbed through the human SOULs by Dr. Alphys to try and allow monster SOULs to persist like the human SOULs do. It failed and caused the amalgamated monster mess thingy (true lab section, yk the story). This proves the existence of determination. Flowey mentions that he cannot go back to his SAVE file anymore because apparently our determination, is much more powerful than his. Sans calls us an anomaly and is aware of our power. This next part is a theory but our role as the game player is to enter a universe and change the storyline with determination. We don't belong in Undertale, yet somehow we interfere with the universe and choose the path for Chara who is possessing Frisk. If we teach Chara to be friendly and go pacifst, they will follow that path and learn to be good, vice versa with the genocide run. Basically, determination is a huge thing in the Undertale universe and we kind of pry into the universe and play around with everything for fun or smth like that. Determination is VERY VERY important.
in the underrate universe, determination isn't just the will to succeed. In underrate, it's the power to override the timeline, the will to live after death, the things that created the amalgamates, shattered the exsistence of WD Gaster, melted Undyne if you choose to kill her in neutral and pacifist routes and more. Determination is so much more than trying to succeed. In this case, determination is what (in theory) started the corruption of Chara. If it weren't for determinations, Gaster would still be alive, Amalgamates wouldn't exist and so much more of the story would change or wouldn't happen at all. Determination is one of, if not the most important aspect of Undertale's (semi-existent) fourth wall.
*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
"Frisk, when and I combined our SOULs together... The control over our body was actually split between us. They were the one that picked up their own empty body. And then, when we got to the village... *They were the one that wanted to...* *... to use our full power.* " - Asriel Dreemur
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-
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.
you're so right, everyone thinks Chara killed all the monsters like an idiot, and you're doing the genocide yourself how could chara have killed chara if chara had killed everyone, the player (Frisk) wouldn't have acted
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.
+Jermu Ristolainen "Maybe you can save someone else" You choose the option to save someone else. "You call out there name" And THEN you save Asriel. I believe you use Chara's memories to save Asriel.

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.
*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.
@Kogershin Kaium in my defense I couldn't stop you because I'm dead until you landed on my grave which where the flowers and then do genocide. I didn't give you love you gained it yourself you heartless-
There can be more then one bad guy and in Undertale there is more then one villain. The Player maybe responsible for Genocide route but that doesn't mean they are the only evil that exist in the underground.
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
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
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).
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.
No. Chara is the first fallen human , and Asriel's first (and maybe , the only ?) friend. Frisk is the name of the Eight fallen child , that you control along the game . Check on Wiki .
No u Player is a person who plays games such as Roblox,Minecraft,fortnite,undertale GO FCED UP WITH UR DUMB WORD OF BLAMING PEOPLE I DON’T PLAY UNDERTALE BUT IM A PLAYER SHUT UP
Gian Garcia first of all, you are assuming the word player is a subject which is not necessarily true. Second, there is something called relation. If the subject of the topic is Undertale (to tell the topic, just look what is the video saying) Then it will be related to undertale; so if someone say the game is interesting, even though they didnt say which game, you should know which are they talking about because of the topic. Also he said player, not gamer big difference (player is the person playing a game and gamer is the person playing games). Finally, he didnt even blame anyone, elaborate further. TL;DR your english is dog shit, cant differentiate a player and a gamer, you need to grow up.
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.
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.
@Azoth Ace It's pronounced however you fucking want.The character is important,not the name.Toby could've named Papyrus "d!cklover300" and the fandom would still love him.
You know what I don't like about these theories is that they only talk about genniside. They don't realize that Chara helps you in the pasifist route. Think about that for a change.
@@ninjay2746 Basically,since Chara is the narrator, all the jokes, the advices you get during Undertale are Chara's, they're also the one to give Asriel's memory back during his fight, as their memories are now connected to Frisk.

Edit: Yikes. Seeing the Chara defense squad fly off the handle makes me regret saying anything. I don't mean to sound like one of those insufferable Chara rights activists, but Chara doesn't want everyone dead. Let's look at some evidence. First, the most obvious one. The bag of dog food in Alphys's lab, and the narration when checking it (which, by the way, is dependent on kill count, not LOVE). If you don't kill anyone, they claim the bag is half full. The narrator is optimistic. They're _enjoying_ themself. But if you kill even one monster -- even So Sorry who would only give you one EXP -- they claim the bag is half-empty. The narrator is pessimistic. They're not having fun. But, if you kill Doggo and your kill count is at 21+, it becomes funny. They don't find his death funny unless you kill more than 20 people. If they had wanted everyone dead, they would have found his death funny even without the kills. Now my second piece of evidence. Notice that your stats are listed under Chara's name, not Frisk's. By killing monsters, you're increasing Chara's LOVE and capacity to kill, which _starts at one._ And the third... Even if you kill entire areas of monsters, if you fail to prove to Chara that the world truly is "kill or be killed", they never kill a single monster on their own. It's not as though they _can't_ take control of Frisk's body at this point, as Frisk starts moving on their own as early as Snowdin, with LOVE as low as 6. The ability clearly isn't dependent on LOVE. Despite this, they let you have control. If they really wanted everyone dead, they would have killed on their own. Also, you claim Chara was "experimenting" when the buttercup incident occurred? Really? Chara didn't even know what a cattail looked like. Even I didn't know buttercups were poisonous until Undertale, and Asriel acknowledges the incident as a mistake they _both_ made (and nowhere is it said that Chara put the flowers into the pie). This video is old, so I don't really think any more evidence is necessary. Or asked for.
When it comes to whole LV corrupting Chara, I'd say everyone who is a part of Frisk soul gains the affects of LV. That includes Chara and the player since I feel the point of LV is to show how you the player mentally gets more and more used to killing in the genocide route. That means even in a reset you are still mentally affected by LV (which could explain the soulless pacifist ending). But yeah it also affects in game characters (as proven by Flowey's stats shown before the Photoshop Flowey fight) and logically, Chara. Hope that made sense.
Well this is probably going to seem like me trying to reignite a fire so I apologize for that, but I swear it isn't the case... I just joined the party really REALLY late. Now onto the... talk? As for the clean slate soul argument. LV only seems to increase After a kill. Which means that if your only kill is a suicide, you won't get any LV even if you hypothetically had intentions to kill. Though I can't confirm or deny for monsters because they have different stats, (I mean that different kinds monsters have different stats and I don't think it's because some murder more than others). My second argument is very theoretical, but it stems from a very theoretical chain of events. But given the unknown nature of the events, I wouldn't recommend completely knocking anything off of the table. My second theory is what if when Asriel absorbed Chara's soul, they took aspects of their personality as well? Obviously while alive and seemingly in control of the new existence, I would say that Asriel probably would have stayed in control while living. But after death... Well like I said, this is theoretical. It seems that existing without a soul takes away a lot of your personality. But one of the souls was human, and the existence was a lot more powerful than a regular monster. And then they were revived by pure desire to exist. Flowey seemed to initially be motivated by a desire to help, but I also think that they still had a bit of Chara in there. (This could also be trauma from literally dying after watching your friend die so keep that in mind)And that led to more morbidly dark choices. It probably doesn't help that maybe a bit of Chara's determination is also in Flowey. As for your next point, I have a question. How much power did Chara really have? The playable story has 3 potential main characters. And 2 of them have the ability to take control: Frisk and Chara. If Chara got stronger whenever you did anything, why didn't Frisk? Essentially, there's another confusing element on the control table named the pacifist. There are a few possibilities: Violence fuels Chara Violence Weakens Frisk Chara has Control and no clue what to do with it Chara has Control, and is just being a judge, jury, and executioner.
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!
No, it's not. It's down to the player to fill in the gaps and make their own story.So for you, Chara nay be an innocent victim, just a pawn in this twisted game, used by the player to destroy, but for someone else Chara may be a twisted, scheming, evil creature of darkness created either accidentally or on purpose with the end goal to destroy everything.
art and music fangirl this is NOT a prove all the"evidence" in this video are ether based on changing the meaning of their dialog or making up plot points to sugarcoat Chara and demonize the player.
if chara is the feeling of progressing in a video game, I realise something with undertale. if you go through genocide route, just to get ultimate power, chara kind of represents that urge to get that power. But isn't that fun going through all of that bad time just to get ultimate power. Maybe that is why undertale has a pacifist ending, to make you realise that grinding isn't the point
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.
saturnicCockatoo temmie chang (real person and co creator) said chara isn’t evil WE did it chara became evil and more evil when you kill more monsters.
"Where are the knives." When I first saw that, I thought it said "We are the knives." Also, I like to think of Chara as an Endbringer from the Hecatomb universe; Hecatomb was a card game about Endbringers gathering souls to end the world in order to obtain power for themselves, before anyone else could do the same. My imagination is messed up.

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.
Marcelo Usseglio Oohhhhh i understand
No i think that in the genocide route Undyne is the heroine and she is to strong and pure to let the determination kill her
thats one big pile of writing
@AleNoConstancy wrong as hell
@AleNoConstancy Listen, we never heard of anything to do with fusing armour, however my point has lots lots of evidence, undyne talks about determination a hole lot, she is involved with alphys and alphys has a lot to do with determination so something could have happened there, the list goes on.

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.
I agree completely, and would like to add that I believe that Chara remains evil (instead of regaining empathy like Asriel did when he had souls) because she takes on your bastard murdersoul after erasing the timeline where you kill everyone she ever cared about.

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.

FACTS
Chara could be evil because they wanted to finish what Asriel couldn’t; kill humanity. Chara said that we eradicated the enemy and became strong. And when you kill, you can earn more LV or XP, which makes you stronger. And Chara said that the reason behind their incarnation is power, from YOU. YOU sell them your soul, filled with the power you made from killing. A couple more Genocide routes, and more souls to sell, Chara could use that power and erase humanity entirely.
Also, Jayson Karrender, Chara didn’t did this to just free the monsters, they did this to kill humanity.

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.

@@brandyt890 you win. you are clearly more determined then me. puns.
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.
Pikachu15 Toby left it up to interpretation. Wether they're evil or not is up to you.
I've always wondered if the world was ever actually destroyed by Chara. I've always gotten the impression that Frisk killed Chara before he/she could destroy the world and because Chara gained all their determination they reloaded back to before they died... at the moment they gave soul to Asriel. Of course, saying no prevents the entire plot of Undertale so of course saying no will prevent you from playing the game... it never exists to play.
+Bruce wyane
Well, I did forget to add that this was partly my opinion, and I don't want to disrespect these guys since they are a good channel, but I don't see their basis on how Chara was evil or not. I know that this is up to interpretation, but I just really hate so many people hate Chara and call them evil etc when the Player is the one who committed Genocide in the first place. Nothing bad would've happened if they didn't play Genocide, even though it is part of the main experience and message Undertale may be trying to project.
Really, I don't see why there's so much hate for a child, when you look at it from an unbiased view. They make it seem like Chara IS a bad person, and it isn't even up to debate. They say, and I quote '...they undeniably possess unfathomable power and horrifying intentions...' from their comment, and I don't like how they stated it as if it was fact. But in the end, it's my mainly opinion.
Like I just said, I call into question whether or not Chara was even the one speaking at the end of the game. I have a sneaking suspicion that both of them are talking. I think when Chara says "I am the feeling when increase" they are trying to convey to the player that in some way they are what allows beings like Sans to detect their evil intentions. They aren't the evil possessing Frisk. They are the only thing left standing between Frisk and the utter extermination of mankind: they're conscience.
I don't think Chara is literally their conscience. I just mean that I think Chara's been in some way unable to make real impact and so they stats and things that Sans and Flowey and others can detect to watch for abusers of determination is something that Chara does.
After all, the code that checks whether you just killed something didn't kill that thing in the game. It just detected it and incremented the value. Chara is likely the entity that does that altering. They're the world's bookeeper.
+Great Duck
That is certainly an interesting theory, though I don't think that that's the case, though it may be plausible.
The reason I don't think that's the case is that if Chara was Frisk's conscience, then does that mean Chara was nothing but a figment of Frisk's imagination?
They did say they were awakened by Frisk's DT, but in your logistics, wouldn't that mean Frisk didn't have a conscience before that? And if they were on watch for abusers of DT, why didn't they step in Flowey was doing all the RESETS? Or stop Frisk earlier in the Genocide run?
What I think, which is up to speculation, is that Chara became something like a complicated ghost, that was reawakened by Frisk's DT, as their soul was once upon a time one of DT as well. They followed Fisk and helped them along their journey, narrating things as they go. Depending on which path you take, Chara could be an optimist, a pessimist, or downright messed up, since they are watching everything you do. It would also explain why when you battle Asgore and Toriel the narration is silent, and such. Really, I'm a big fan of the Narrator Chara theory, and I think it has many plausible points.
Though, in the Geno run, I think that they power that you've been obtaining; your LV, is being fed into Chara, giving them power. That may be why they were able to appear physically in front of the Player, and ultimately ERASE the world, which is the consequence of the Player's actions.

When you play the pacifist route after playing genocide she kills off everyone. Even has X over their faces on the photo at the end.
She only wants to kill humans
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?)
Jacky Rubou it's up for interpretation. Wether chara is evil is up to each person.
Undertale isn't black and white, you should know that by now. And why does it matter that "Underlab is better at theories than JB"? That doesn't make their theory wrong! There is a LOT more evidence supporting Chara not being an evil genocidal maniac!
Fine you think what you want to think, I can't change it.
*facepalm* Really... some people are so stubborn. Heres something to prove you're wrong.
You're saying your opinion of which theorist is better. THEY ARE EQUAL. BOTH ARE REALLY GOOD. THERE IS NO WAY TO SAY WHICH IS BETTER.
And Judgement boy made two Chara episodes to prove their point. DETERMINATION at the finest.
So please stop saying, "Underlab is better than Judgement Boy," because there is NO WAY to say really which theory is better. Sure, Underlab may be more popular, but does popularity help theory-wise? No. Well, in your thing...
Yes.
However, thats just the fact more people like them more. Doesn't say JB's theories are ineffective or worse, just means this:
Underlab looks better.
You used looks in your theory basically. You're basically proven wrong now.

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.

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
Well... you can’t spell determination with out termination!
I'm late BUT, you're incredibly wrong. Undertale isn't like our world at all, it has its own properties. Determination is just a nickname for some powerful energy and/or power that can invade an entire universe. To make a long story short, undertale was created to show the power of the SOUL, we the player are the SOUL energy. There is a HUGE subreddit on this topic and now that deltarune is out everything is coming together for who we are as the player. Chara is not a villain, in fact, they wanted to take 6 human souls to break the barrier (that was their plan with Asriel). Determination was absorbed through the human SOULs by Dr. Alphys to try and allow monster SOULs to persist like the human SOULs do. It failed and caused the amalgamated monster mess thingy (true lab section, yk the story). This proves the existence of determination. Flowey mentions that he cannot go back to his SAVE file anymore because apparently our determination, is much more powerful than his. Sans calls us an anomaly and is aware of our power. This next part is a theory but our role as the game player is to enter a universe and change the storyline with determination. We don't belong in Undertale, yet somehow we interfere with the universe and choose the path for Chara who is possessing Frisk. If we teach Chara to be friendly and go pacifst, they will follow that path and learn to be good, vice versa with the genocide run. Basically, determination is a huge thing in the Undertale universe and we kind of pry into the universe and play around with everything for fun or smth like that. Determination is VERY VERY important.
in the underrate universe, determination isn't just the will to succeed. In underrate, it's the power to override the timeline, the will to live after death, the things that created the amalgamates, shattered the exsistence of WD Gaster, melted Undyne if you choose to kill her in neutral and pacifist routes and more. Determination is so much more than trying to succeed. In this case, determination is what (in theory) started the corruption of Chara. If it weren't for determinations, Gaster would still be alive, Amalgamates wouldn't exist and so much more of the story would change or wouldn't happen at all. Determination is one of, if not the most important aspect of Undertale's (semi-existent) fourth wall.

Ticci Elizabeth Nah
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.
you're so right, everyone thinks Chara killed all the monsters like an idiot, and you're doing the genocide yourself how could chara have killed chara if chara had killed everyone, the player (Frisk) wouldn't have acted
you play as chara who has possesed frisk no matter what route you do

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.
I might be wrong, but I dont think we ever saved Chara. We saved Asriel
+Jermu Ristolainen "Maybe you can save someone else"
You choose the option to save someone else.
"You call out there name"
And THEN you save Asriel.
I believe you use Chara's memories to save Asriel.
Good point
But you didnt really "save" chara in that case, you used chara to save asriel
+Jermu Ristolainen
But, dude,
"SAVE someone else!"
You still saved Chara!
But the "someone else" is Asriel.....

Chara = power, Frisk = courage, Sans = wisdom
I've been playing to much zelda
Same
let’s just destroy all three parts of the triforce ok?
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.
i agree
You have absolutely no control when you kill Asgore and Asriel. Chara did that.
*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.
Yes the (genocide) player is evil. BUT Chara does claim to be a demon.

@Kogershin Kaium i didn't your soul did.
If Chara doesn't kill everyone ever, then what soulless pacifist ending means?
There can be more then one bad guy and in Undertale there is more then one villain. The Player maybe responsible for Genocide route but that doesn't mean they are the only evil that exist in the underground.
I was watching an Underlab video when I got this notification.
Wow.

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
No..the laugh thing is from the pacifist so cold amalgamte
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
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).
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.
Wait in the beginning chara was alive but frisk was dead...
But they’re the same persoo...

Gian Garcia first of all, you are assuming the word player is a subject which is not necessarily true. Second, there is something called relation. If the subject of the topic is Undertale (to tell the topic, just look what is the video saying) Then it will be related to undertale; so if someone say the game is interesting, even though they didnt say which game, you should know which are they talking about because of the topic. Also he said player, not gamer big difference (player is the person playing a game and gamer is the person playing games). Finally, he didnt even blame anyone, elaborate further. TL;DR your english is dog shit, cant differentiate a player and a gamer, you need to grow up.

"""Canon""""
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.
This theory is good. . .
. . .but is also sadly underrated.

@@ninjay2746 Basically,since Chara is the narrator, all the jokes, the advices you get during Undertale are Chara's, they're also the one to give Asriel's memory back during his fight, as their memories are now connected to Frisk.

Edit: Yikes. Seeing the Chara defense squad fly off the handle makes me regret saying anything.
I don't mean to sound like one of those insufferable Chara rights activists, but Chara doesn't want everyone dead.
Let's look at some evidence.
First, the most obvious one. The bag of dog food in Alphys's lab, and the narration when checking it (which, by the way, is dependent on kill count, not LOVE).
If you don't kill anyone, they claim the bag is half full. The narrator is optimistic. They're _enjoying_ themself.
But if you kill even one monster -- even So Sorry who would only give you one EXP -- they claim the bag is half-empty. The narrator is pessimistic. They're not having fun.
But, if you kill Doggo and your kill count is at 21+, it becomes funny. They don't find his death funny unless you kill more than 20 people. If they had wanted everyone dead, they would have found his death funny even without the kills.
Now my second piece of evidence.
Notice that your stats are listed under Chara's name, not Frisk's. By killing monsters, you're increasing Chara's LOVE and capacity to kill, which _starts at one._
And the third...
Even if you kill entire areas of monsters, if you fail to prove to Chara that the world truly is "kill or be killed", they never kill a single monster on their own.
It's not as though they _can't_ take control of Frisk's body at this point, as Frisk starts moving on their own as early as Snowdin, with LOVE as low as 6. The ability clearly isn't dependent on LOVE.
Despite this, they let you have control. If they really wanted everyone dead, they would have killed on their own.
Also, you claim Chara was "experimenting" when the buttercup incident occurred? Really? Chara didn't even know what a cattail looked like. Even I didn't know buttercups were poisonous until Undertale, and Asriel acknowledges the incident as a mistake they _both_ made (and nowhere is it said that Chara put the flowers into the pie).
This video is old, so I don't really think any more evidence is necessary. Or asked for.
When it comes to whole LV corrupting Chara, I'd say everyone who is a part of Frisk soul gains the affects of LV. That includes Chara and the player since I feel the point of LV is to show how you the player mentally gets more and more used to killing in the genocide route. That means even in a reset you are still mentally affected by LV (which could explain the soulless pacifist ending). But yeah it also affects in game characters (as proven by Flowey's stats shown before the Photoshop Flowey fight) and logically, Chara. Hope that made sense.
Well this is probably going to seem like me trying to reignite a fire so I apologize for that, but I swear it isn't the case... I just joined the party really REALLY late. Now onto the... talk?
As for the clean slate soul argument. LV only seems to increase After a kill. Which means that if your only kill is a suicide, you won't get any LV even if you hypothetically had intentions to kill. Though I can't confirm or deny for monsters because they have different stats, (I mean that different kinds monsters have different stats and I don't think it's because some murder more than others). My second argument is very theoretical, but it stems from a very theoretical chain of events. But given the unknown nature of the events, I wouldn't recommend completely knocking anything off of the table. My second theory is what if when Asriel absorbed Chara's soul, they took aspects of their personality as well? Obviously while alive and seemingly in control of the new existence, I would say that Asriel probably would have stayed in control while living. But after death... Well like I said, this is theoretical. It seems that existing without a soul takes away a lot of your personality. But one of the souls was human, and the existence was a lot more powerful than a regular monster. And then they were revived by pure desire to exist. Flowey seemed to initially be motivated by a desire to help, but I also think that they still had a bit of Chara in there. (This could also be trauma from literally dying after watching your friend die so keep that in mind)And that led to more morbidly dark choices. It probably doesn't help that maybe a bit of Chara's determination is also in Flowey.
As for your next point, I have a question. How much power did Chara really have? The playable story has 3 potential main characters. And 2 of them have the ability to take control: Frisk and Chara. If Chara got stronger whenever you did anything, why didn't Frisk? Essentially, there's another confusing element on the control table named the pacifist. There are a few possibilities:
Violence fuels Chara
Violence Weakens Frisk
Chara has Control and no clue what to do with it
Chara has Control, and is just being a judge, jury, and executioner.
I'm surprised he didn't say "Characters" as "Sharesters"
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!

No, it's not. It's down to the player to fill in the gaps and make their own story.So for you, Chara nay be an innocent victim, just a pawn in this twisted game, used by the player to destroy, but for someone else Chara may be a twisted, scheming, evil creature of darkness created either accidentally or on purpose with the end goal to destroy everything.

i think chara is a bed part of frisk
everybody in this world have a bed part
Bed Part?
the real question is whether everyone has a chair part
😂
if chara is the feeling of progressing in a video game, I realise something with undertale.
if you go through genocide route, just to get ultimate power, chara kind of represents that urge to get that power. But isn't that fun going through all of that bad time just to get ultimate power. Maybe that is why undertale has a pacifist ending, to make you realise that grinding isn't the point
Maybe Chara was possessed by Gaster. Her jump scare face looks very similar
Kinda
**deltarune intensifies **
Gaster Is Sans Father And He is A Scientist
If gaster possessed chara why would he kill his sons
@Xventure Studios Really now??
Imagine if frisk had her own boss fight doe
Imagine if Frisk had weed killer in the neutral run.
“I want you dead, you dead, you’re dead, and I don’t want you dead.
Sike just kidding You’re dead”
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.
I just want to say chara is NOT Evil

no, that's terrible writing. it's obvious what kind of person chara is
Actually you are a bit wrong
Jinsune Azuka I agree with you on this one, HELL technically chara is FORCED to FINISH OFF flowey as in KILL their BEST AND ONLY FRIEND.
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.
"Where are the knives." When I first saw that, I thought it said "We are the knives."
Also, I like to think of Chara as an Endbringer from the Hecatomb universe; Hecatomb was a card game about Endbringers gathering souls to end the world in order to obtain power for themselves, before anyone else could do the same.
My imagination is messed up.
"we are the knives"
*"accidentally"runs into everyone*
