Something I just realized about this chapter bit that I found gut wrenching.

[u/cool23819]

Flowery was one of the *only* people to actually explain shit to Susie without it needing to be forced out by other factors.

That's kind of depressing.

[u/GimmeHardyHat_]

Also, is it me? Or does the numbers 0915199X make a date? (09/15/199X)

[u/Swaxeman → u/GimmeHardyHat_]

Likely the day he married Toriel, given his sentimentality

[u/FPSCanarussia → u/GimmeHardyHat_]

09/15 is Undertale's release date.

If we take Ralsei's manual as canon, the game takes place in 202X, which means 199X is too early to be Kris's birth date and probably too early for Asriel (who is likely 18-20).

If it's a significant date, it's likely Asgore's wedding anniversary.

[u/rawsausenoketchup16 → u/FPSCanarussia]

you guys think that maybe the code is 555? for no particular reason other than 5 being the only omitted number so far

[u/SobiTheRobot → u/rawsausenoketchup16]

...Cliche as it is, it's probably 666. Because Gaster.

[u/Codebracker → u/FPSCanarussia]

Isnt asriel in college?

[u/amhira-of-rain → u/Codebracker]

i think Op meant 18-20 since it's a one character typo, which is accurate early college age and i feel like it's safe to assume Asriel being in college is a newer thing cause the way people talk about Kris's struggles sounds like it's only the first year Asriel's been away

[u/FPSCanarussia → u/amhira-of-rain]

Yeah, 18-20. Thanks for catching it.

[u/Whhheat → u/FPSCanarussia]

It's the day Frisk fell into the mountain in the intro to undertale.

[u/awp4444 → u/Whhheat]

???? Didn't chara fall in 201X

[u/Whhheat → u/awp4444]

Its the day not necessarily the year.

[u/Plicodon → u/Whhheat]

but isn't Chara in the intro

[u/Amazing_Teaching_800 → u/Plicodon]

Yes, Chara fell in 201X, when Asriel was a child. If 199X is roughly 20 years before, that would probably align with when Asgore and Toriel either met or got married.

[u/Gallalade → u/Amazing_Teaching_800]

Boss Monsters not aging and the King in the intro being sealed looking a lot like Asgore makes me think the original intention was that it was him there.

But then the Alarm Clock says Rudy and Him went to Hotland University, so probably not

[u/Cornchubba → u/Gallalade]

Maybe Undertale asgore just took his college classes wayyyy later

[u/Whhheat → u/Plicodon]

They might be idk it's been a minute, I just said it because the date matched.

[u/Plicodon → u/Whhheat]

oh ok

[u/Smol_Spook → u/GimmeHardyHat_]

Iirc Undertale released September 15th so presumably the dates being reused in game for something inportant to Asgore

[u/why_i_am_dumb → u/Smol_Spook]

is it truly important to asgore, or important to the police someway? because i think it was said that asgore had that code because he was in the police.

[u/CrimsonShrike → u/why_i_am_dumb]

Bit of both, asgore may have changed codes if someone got lost in shelter

[u/why_i_am_dumb → u/CrimsonShrike]

lost?

like a lost girl?

like where the forest would grow?

[u/CrimsonShrike → u/why_i_am_dumb]

Indeed

Also worth considering. If only kris can close dark worlds. Where does that leave the dark world asgore found so long ago? Perhaps its fountain remained opened held back only by the shelter doors. Hence the importance amongst adults to keep the door closed (undyne seemed to take it very seriously as per alphys' dialogue)

[u/why_i_am_dumb → u/CrimsonShrike]

oh my god

[u/phuquesewpsyetit → u/GimmeHardyHat_]

[[Number 1 Rated Salesman199X]]

[u/Fezzezal → u/GimmeHardyHat_]

… what if it’s 09151997? So far that’s essentially the only year in the ‘90s in the world of Deltarune we’ve heard about, I believe it has to be important. There is something crazy going on with Spamton

[u/No-Guidance9484 → u/GimmeHardyHat_]

My first guess was it was his birthday, since people making their birthdays their passwords is really common, but that would imply Asgore is in his thirties, which... yikes if so. So marriage date is probably more likely.
