The Theory That Solves Deltarune (just a little)

  Hello! This video has gained significant traction, so I want to correct a few things:<br><br><b>1st:</b> When I state that Carol and Rudy aren&apos;t interesting, I mean as knight candidates, not as characters. I&apos;m also being incredibly hyperbolic - my personal opinion is that I can&apos;t really imagine them being compelling, however many people do, and Toby is an excellent writer. No matter who the Knight is, the story will likely be phenomenal, so if you personally believe that Carol or Rudy are the Knight, that&apos;s awesome! This video kind of implies that I look down on you, which isn&apos;t the case at all, and I should&apos;ve been a bit more clear in my script.<br><b>2nd:</b> Like @Saturn5212 pointed out, I forgot to mention that this theory also explains why the Dark worlds created by both Kris and the Knight have similar color schemes. There&apos;s a lot of other things I forgot to mention as well that I personally believe solidifies this theory a bit more, but I&apos;ll have to save that for a future video perhaps.<br><b>3rd:</b> This entire theory goes on the presumption that souls work exactly as they do in Undertale. Some think they do, some think they don&apos;t, at the end of the day we don&apos;t really know. Of course, if they don&apos;t work the same way, this theory basically goes right into a garbage can lmao.<br><b>4th:</b> The reason why Kris would need to signal to the Knight to end the fight is because, while I believe Kris&apos;s soul is controlling the Knight and Kris&apos;s body still contains some of Kris&apos;s essence, I don&apos;t believe they share thoughts and can communicate to each other telepathically. I believe that, once Kris&apos;s soul leaves their body, Kris&apos;s body and soul become separate entities. They&apos;re cut from the same cloth, but no longer sharing a mind. This is just my interpretation of it though.<br><b>5th:</b> This video is a little rushed and not amazingly paced either! This isn&apos;t really a correction, more or less me simply saying that I personally don&apos;t think this video is perfect and I&apos;d love to fix its flaws in a future &quot;redux&quot; version of the theory or something. Either way though, thank you for all the kind words and all the feedback!<br><br>Please, if you&apos;re interested in my content, check out my other uploads! I&apos;m really proud of everything in this channel, and stick around if you want to see more stuff this coming year. If you disagree with this theory, that&apos;s all good! Everything at the end of the day is discussion about a game we both love, and I think that&apos;s really awesome. Deltarune is very special to me, and I can&apos;t wait to keep experiencing it alongside the rest of the community. Thank you, everyone!

  Surprised you didn&apos;t mention this, but if Kris&apos; SOUL is indeed inside the Knight, that might also explain why the Dark Worlds opened by the Knight have the same colour palette/characteristics than the TV Dark World opened by Kris (since you know, Dark Worlds are supposed to be different depending on who created the Dark Fountains.)

  It’s good to remind you that Toby stated pretty bluntly that he needed to “get hometowns layout right in the first chapter”

  Also, bold of you to assume Chapter 5 is going to definitively set any theory correct rather than just complicate our ideas further in various ways

  &quot;Dess csnt be the Knifht it makes no sense.&quot;<br><br>Counterargument, the Knight makes no sense to us yet.

  There is precedent for this, btw. According to this theory, Kris would be in a similar state as Flowey. Without a soul, but still having a mind, determination and a body. <br><br>Definitely not a stretch to think this can happen.

  “Wait, everything is Kris?”<br><br>“Always has been”

  What if it was a 3 way switcheroo. The Knight (Dess’s body) has Kris’s soul.<br>Kris has our soul.<br>Our Vessel has Dess’s soul

  &quot;Where the hell is Kris&apos;s original SOUL&quot; is a question so few theories seem interested in asking, despite how... obviously important it is? This answer makes a lot of sense imo
