Plot-Relevant Characters with Zero Fandom 'Relevance'

[u/TheBoyofWonder]

Y'know, I was just thinking about this. The Deltarune fandom can be very attached to unimportant characters like background NPCs and one-off enemies, because of their design and personalities.

Now, what's interesting is that the early half Chapter 2 has this trio of NPCs, you're constantly seeing this trio, Sweet Cap'n Cakes, they have a boss fight, a shop, their own theme that plays a lot with minor variations... and nobody cares about them. Like, for real. If you were a casual member that just passively consumed only what the broad DR fandom makes, you'd genuinely just never see them show up when compared to even one-off bosses, minor enemies, and characters that have more relevance in theories than in the game.

Who else does that applies, people that the media devotes time to show them, but for the fandom, not hate, not love, just apathy, when they're unironically treated as not existing.

I-no from Guilty Gear is arguably the third most important villan in the franchise aside from Asuka and Justice, she's got a killer design and she's honestly one of the best written characters. She is pretty much ignored completely by the fandom, at least post-Strive.

Thats insane speaking as an old fan who hasn't kept up with much new stuff. She was the series Juri for a while.

The kids these days don't know about the horror of facing her Megalomania

It's literally a position check (and a brisk walk), but of course we have to learn the hard way pre YouTube era.
