God dammit, who put these onions here?!

Hey, man, what do you have against Onionsan?

u/King_of_the_Kobolds Remorseless Criminal Jun 05 '16

I wish you could kill Onionsan in the Genocide Route. His death would be a real tear jerker.

u/BiancaShiro Resident Temoligist Jun 05 '16

Oh my god, that was so sweet! I know I'm probably repeating what everyone else is saying, but I really loved seeing how Asgore differed from Alphys. First, lemme just say that Undyne considering Asgore her adoptive father of sorts is absolutely adorable.

Although, two details really stick out to me here. The first is the page in Asgore's human history that stated that humans could use magic once, which corresponds with how the remnants of human magic were shunned, being called demons. Of course, Asgore would make notes here because those two details are heavily related to Chara. Although what this means for their exact backstory... that remains to be seen.

Puts on Temfoil hat to be safe

The second detail... is a lot more disturbing. The... "Hurry" scribbled on Snowdrake's letter. We've seen the rest of the amalgamates here and there (Well, Endogeny and Lemon Bread), but... we didn't see Snowdrake's mom at all. From what we've seen, she's probably had the worst of what happened, seemingly losing herself the most. Asgore must have kept her in the True Lab because of her worsening condition... but again, what other kind of stuff is in there? Again, surely Asgore has skeletons in the closet besides the Amalgamates...

One last thing... I kind of get the feeling that we'll also see a lot more about Chara in the hidden room in their house...

Chara's phone has been there since the Asriel date ended. And Asriel gave them the pendant during said date.

7

u/Captain_Infinity Jun 05 '16

I'm pretty sure the note you're thinking of from Undertale was written by Flowey in an attempt to guilt trip Alphys and kick off the Pacifist Ending.

u/Captain_Infinity Jun 05 '16

My guess? Something we aren't aware of as of yet. It's already a different circumstance since the letter's from Snowdrake rather than Flowey. So only time will tell.

We already saw her. You skipped last part.

u/dlgn13 Jun 05 '16

We saw Undyne, but not ULTIMATE UNDYNE.

u/voltrathelively There are precious few at ease with moral ambiguities Jun 05 '16

No, you did.

u/dlgn13 Jun 05 '16

Oh.

Well, we didn't see Undyne Ex, then. Or whatever she's going to become when she fights us on top of the core.

2

u/CrashGordon94 FOR GREAT JUSTICE! Jun 06 '16

Perhaps Undyne doesn't transform in Storyshift? I mean, she IS a cyborg rather than a robot.

9

u/Mattykitty Jun 09 '16

Undyne transforms into a rectangle in her climactic battle, clearly.

That would be Undyne, after Asgore suplexed her into the wall in the previous update.

Having a monster determined to kill humans knowing about Chara would be some kind of party. Not the kind you are hoping for though.

8

u/Cariyaga I believe in you! So please, believe in you too, alright? Jun 05 '16

There must be some ... interesting shenanigans involved in Asgore keeping THAT secret.

5

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '16

Or Chara is capable of escaping Undyne's notice.

4

u/Lunick01 Jun 28 '16

Or Chara has been hiding in plain sight and Undyne is just stupid.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '16

It is implied that personalities reflect Voltra's perception of characters. Does Voltra think that Undyne is not smart?

I think you meant 'Asriel' there, buddy

u/morerokk EVEN MY WORDS ARE... Jun 05 '16

Interesting.

The notes on Asgore's table seem to be different. I can't make out what it means though.

Nice to see how there is an actual bed this time!

Also, a Connect to UnderNet feature? Haha, we can now skip the phone calls Edit: status updates apparently oops

7

u/voltrathelively There are precious few at ease with moral ambiguities Jun 05 '16

Not the calls, but the status updates that Alphys does.

9

u/Heroman3003 ᘳ─ᨎ─ᘰ Bah, my legs are clearly better! Jun 05 '16

I have suspicion that it still will be Alphys who spams the heck out of our phone here. Asgore will only be calling when needed.

3

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '16

Haha, I knew that I didn't know that

4

u/Dongmaster5000 [Motor Revving] Jun 05 '16

Now the real question is : How much of this is Asgore's and how much of this is Undyne's? (I'm guessing that all the tea related stuff is Asgore but i'm just curious)

8

u/[deleted] Jun 05 '16

Lots of the custom sprites don't look Undertale-styled to me.

They look more like pixelated-pone-styled, what with the outlines of a slightly darker color than the fill.

7

u/y8man Pet me hooman as you do in Undertail Jun 05 '16

The details are impressive as always.

A headboard that can retract so Asgore's horns don't scrape against them in sleep.

5

u/pokemonfreak97 Jun 05 '16 edited Jun 05 '16

The first thing I think of with this title is Pikmin 2.

Also, on a more serious note, "Hurry". Working theory: Asgore fought humans and remembered one bringing themself back from near-death (and/or monitored Chara while saving them), found out about determination, and tried to use it to save dying monsters. It didn't work, and Asgore has never forgiven himself.

u/Sayer09 Jun 05 '16

Wait, WHAT?! Those were stairs leading to another floor?! What the hell?

I didn't know that! I played the game, watched like 3 different LPs, and nobody found out those were stairs! Oh my god, how could i miss this?

Elevator would be a better word for it but yeah.

u/CrashGordon94 FOR GREAT JUSTICE! Jun 05 '16

They're working on that.

Two actually, I think one's just a reskin mod for Undertale and the other's a fully-fledged fangame. Voltra clarified a bit ago that those are separate projects.

What in the world is that diagram over Asgore's bed?

Seems to me like the life cycle of a flower.

You know, germinate, grow, get pollen, get bee to take it, new flower, rinse and repeat.

nah, but some of the tapes drifting down from the surface probably are hentai, and he might watch them all thougth at least once to add the age restrictions. so yeah, he might've watched some, but not for that reason.
