if everyman is even remotely related to the knight, i will be so happy.

This video made me realise how fucking insane most of the deltarune theories must sound like to an outsider💀

I always thought Everyman was the shape of a generic monster, kinda like a stickman or smiley face in our world. So, he appears everywhere because he's a staple cultural symbol in Deltarune and Undertale's societies.

Yeah I don’t think Rouxls is going to be the Knight, but I still think there’s more to him somehow. I mean, he teleports *right in front of us*. Even Sans was only able to teleport off-screen

A theory I heard somewhere and really love is that Rouxls will make gradually fewer and fewer appearances throughout the game (for example a lesser speaking role in ch3, nonspeaking cameo in ch4) before quietly disappearing through ch5 and possibly ch6 as well. Then, when we've all forgotten about him in our concern with all the plot stuff that's happened, he comes back as a secret boss, "discarded" like all the others (just like the card he's based on is usually thrown away).

I feel like everyman is probably the "man" behind the tree who gives you the egg. Toby uses very similar language when talking about the man and the egg and Everyman. The egg's description is "not to important not too unimportant" and if I recall correctly when asked about Everyman at some point Toby said "he's just a guy who shows up from time to time".

Just in case you didn't know - 'Everyman' is a common literary term, not just a specific play. It originated from Greek plays but is still a well used device in writing. An Everyman is supposed to represent 'an ordinary or typical human being' and is designed to act as an audience stand in in most morality tales.

I'm a fan of the multi-knight theory. Two points that stand out to me: 1. Having multiple knights goes well with chess theory, there being 4 knight pieces on the chess board. 2. Knights usually ride on horseback. Combine that with the religious themes, and how the Roaring is an Apocalypse scenario --> Roaring Knight = Horseman of the Apocalypse. And there just so happen to be 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the Book of Revelation as well :)

I thought the RAID ad was a meme until it went on for longer than 2 seconds LOL

I personally think Icee will be the game's version of Ultimate Chimera from Mother 3, a terrifying yet silly-looking monster that instantly kills you if you encounter it. It could work as a gag in a dark world or even something terrifying as a darkener that stole a lightener's soul and now stalks the light world at night.

Japanese version of the "strange son" quote: ＊ ところが　最近になって　 怪しい「騎士」が現れて　 四王のうち３人が　とらわれの身と　 なってしまった。 ＊ 以来　残った１人の王と　 その　変わり者の息子が　 権勢を　ほしいままにしてるのさ。 My translation: * However, just recently, a suspicious "knight" appeared, and three of the four kings became prisoners. * Since then, the remaining king and his oddball son have been abusing power. That seems to mostly rule out the idea that King put someone else into power. And it uses different Japanese words to describe the knight and the son. (Both of the words could validly be translated as "strange", whereas I picked "suspicious" and "oddball" respectively, but the point is that they're different.)

If we're still looking for Knight Theories, I'm convinced it's Alphys So you gotta think about her role in Undertale and how it parallels the events of Deltarune: Alphys carries on the work of Gaster; the maintainance of The Core, the role as the Royal Scientist, and the experiments into Determination. Deltarune, meanwhile, is set up as a grand experiment likely by Gaster - Gaster talks to us at the start of the game, he gave us the game as Survey Experiment, and he operates the save menu until Chapter 2. Does Alphys still carry on his research and experiments? Alphys is leading you along using a phone in order to defeat a "killer robot" she designed. If Alphys is the knight, she is similarly guiding us along her path, for her purposes. We even have a character - Spamton - who is led along by a voice on the phone, and who desires to stop his own "Killer Robot" in the weird route, when he usurps the queen. And just like, generally has a bunch of Phone and Mettaton parallels - That's notable! Alphys builds a body for Mettaton, her Ghost/Dummy friend. Spamton draws multiple parallels with the various dummies, and in particular ends up inhabiting the equivalent of Mettaton's body. We are clearly meant to think of Mettaton with a lot of Spamton, but we don't really pick up on the Alphys connection at all In the previous video, Spookydood noted that there was no "known liar" among the candidates, but that's not actually true - Alphys has been known to lie, that's essentially the point of her entire arc in Undertale - to learn to be honest and stop hiding herself even when she has made a mistake. At one point in Deltarune outright lies to Toriel in front of her about how we are "Normal." I don't think her lying is even a question - it's just how much she is. Alphys is the foremost expert on Determination in Undertale, and is very much a scientist involved in some dark experiments therein. In Undertale, that's the true lab, and living on after a creature has died. In Deltarune, Determination makes Dark Fountains and Dark Worlds. If Alphys retains her knowledge on Determination in this timeline, she's possibly the only one we have met who could know how to make a Dark Fountain (Though may not know of the Roaring) I think it's also worth noting that, broadly, Everyman shows up in three places: The attacks in the True Lab, the attacks in the Dark World... And the alleyway which Alphys hangs out in. Once the parallel is in your head - Alphys as someone who knows about Determination, who carries on Gaster's experiments, who guides people through a phoneline - things can kind of start to become suspicious. Why was she so insistent on Kris and Susie being a group and getting the chalk personally, knowing you are unreliable? And why was the door to the closet locked after you leave the Dark World? Why was Toriel never called when you disappeared? Why has it just so happened that people are going in to Dark Worlds in their school project's groups? Isn't it suspicious that both Dark Worlds so far are within like ten meters of her classroom? And the Dark Worlds are kind of animesque and parallel Dragon Blazers - Which adult is most in to video games and anime? It's also worth noting that, in Undertale, on the question in the Mettaton Quiz on who Alphy's crush is on: If you say No One, she actually references Parallel Worlds defensively, and implies she has a crush on someone who exists in one of those. That is, likely, she has some kind of relationship with Gaster in a different timeline - a timeline like Deltarune, yeah? Edit: Changed some sentences and structure because I was fumbling words or for clarity, apologies. Also in hindsight I think I left almost this exact same comment in the previous video so uhh... Oops

everyman somehow feels even more cryptic, important, and mysterious then gaster

If I remember correctly, Gaster (sorry, I mean the mysterious voice of mystery) tells you that you appear to have reached an END when you die. Since deltarune apparently only has one ending, which can be interpreted in many ways but is still quite important. This could be very, very significant. The endgame goal could be to create a new ending with the purpose of not letting Kris die, or preventing your soul from shattering, which we could later find out to be inevitabilities at the end of the game.

Rouxl's face literally resembles Ghaster. I feel like he's pulling a "foolish sage" like Star Wars original trilogy's "Yoda" or Naruto's "Tobi" that intentionally acts like a doofus until they get serious.

I can honestly see Ice-E being involved in Chapter 3. Chances are he's been featured in many TV commercials, making his inclusion in a TV themed chapter pretty plausible. Maybe a mini-boss like K. Round?

you forgot one piece of evidence on the rouxls knight theory: the energy drawing into him before his special attack is the same as the energy drawing into burghley’s blade before ralsei explains the roaring

Just finished watching whole and I have to say, another nice analysis! On the _ice-e and reminding players about him_ note, today I've read some comments under _"premonition"_ track that apparently plays when sans reminds us about flowey. People pointed out, that average player would have forgotten about him in that part of the playthrough, and premonition is _"a strong feeling that something is about to happen, especially something unpleasant"_ Ice-e or everyman might be similar case!

A theory by David Prokopetz was that many people can create a dark world, and the Knight is an "in-universe" explanation, inside the unreal dark world, of how the dark world exists, despite not being literally a real character. Which is similar to the idea of "everyone was the Knight".

I think its Catti. Someone in the library printed out a bunch of garbage, and there's no reason to do that unless its an attempt to populate the dark world. Among the Cyber World are various things that Catti might print, such as various cat enemies and also her desktop background.

Damn, chapter 3, 4 and 5 can't come fast enough. I'm having Deltarune withdrawal syndrome! So many theories to feed my hype! I can't say much about my opinions because I've theories of my own, but I'm of those who think that Roulx will be key (and Papyrus being secretly the Knight).

Sorry, this just blew my mind for a moment. When we're talking about objects that were discarded and then turned into very powerful Darkners because of the negativity and emotion, we're talking about Light World counterparts. What in the world would Ralsey's hat be if that exists in the Dark World? How exactly do we go about clothes of Darkners? Kris' pocket things turn into equipment or consumables, how would a hat inside the Dark World be affected by that? What would it even be, and where do clothes come from? Are clothes actually a part of Darkners' skin? I might be overthinking this

15:28 oh hey I wonder who that could be with the Starwalker theory Neat theory about Everyman Knight, while I'm sure all that is a coincidence it would be interesting if Deltarune had that kind of overarching theme you mentioned

Okay so. I'm a big believer in chess theory and I think there's a way to see the knights through this lense: Firstly, which side would the roaring knight be on? would they count as being on the "lightner" side ( where you would see Kris and Noelle etc. ) or the "darkner" side? For this comment I'll be assuming they are on the lightner side. this is due to the fact that if they were on the darkner side there would need to be 3 lightners that are knights minimum. ( also as a side note, this means there is a possibility that the knight has a redemption arc/ ends up joining sides with kris and susie etc. ) So, given this we can look at possibilities for who the 2 lightner knights are? The first possibility: Kris is one of the knights and the roaring knight is simply alvin /mayor knight/( whoever else) The second possibility: what if it's both alvin AND Carol as knights. I really like the mayor knight theory, it's personally my favourite knight theory, but an issue I have with it is, how does the mayor know about how to make dark fountains? My proposal for this is. Alvin taught her how to make the dark fountains ( he wants it to be done to get the religious goals relating to the angel et cetra et cetra ) and the mayor is doing it too find Dess in the depths. This could set up Alvin as a manipulator that used the grief of a mother to fulfill his own personal goals which in my opinion would be VERY ( very ) interesting. ( i probably missed something spookydood but you can find me in the ACDS, my discord is Wunderscore7 )

...I honestly expected the RAID sponsor to be satire. You cannot be serious.

I think Roulx card isn't the knight, but definitely has something going on. Part of my theory, is that one of his Secret powers/final forms (If he does have any) is manipulation of matter, more specifically, manipulation of stone. It is my belief that he chose to turn himself into stone, in order to blend in because *Drumroll* he is in someway tied to either sans or gaster, or both. As a result of this connection, he could potentially have a soul. The teleportation powers link to both sans and gaster, and the way in which he is often nearby or close to the party might be him watching them, goading them to an overall goal. Maybe he could become a secret boss in a future chapter, a character we've met before being a secret boss would be a fun twist.

I've always personally believed in a modified version of the multi-knight theory. See, I don't believe there are LITERALLY multiple knights, but rather that tbe one singular Knight character has the ability to possess characters in the world of Deltarune like we do, and I believe they are even the entity who takes control of Kris at the end of chapter scenes (yes, that is to say that I do not think KRIS is taking control from us, mostly due to how Kris is characterized as having periods where they are MORE abnormal than usual in the Spamton Sweepstakes). I believe this theory gains more substance to it when you look at the interactable objects in the bathroom in Chapter 2, as we clearly see that the narration text box is not just AWARE of Kris' possession prior to it happening with the sink saying "It is not yet time to wash your hands", but it ALSO pushes the player TOWARDS Kris' possession by changing all the interactable texts to (There's no use) except for the sink. And after using the sink, the texts change AGAIN, but only fot the sink and the shower. Why woulf Toby even bother to have these interact texts change? Sure, you could argue that it was put there for people on repeat playthroughs to catch the foreshadowing, but that doesn't explain why the SHOWER changes text, and AFTER the cutscene. Seems like a really unnecessary change if not to point out that the narration text is aware of what is going on. Not to mention, the narration IS a speaker OTHER than you anf Kris, because they use second person pronouns to refer to the play, and Kris' name to refer to Kris.

Ever thought that maybe The Man behind the tree that hands you eggs is actually slowly returning bits of Kris's, leading to us not being able to control them anymore and eventually possessing the vessel we created in the prologue?

Everyman is my single most favorite mysterious figure that has come from undertale. It was always such a strange thing in terms of design and purpose in its native fight that it always stuck out to me. And seeing it pop up in deltarune now has me really really interested

I'm personally a huge fan of there being multiple knights/no actual capital K "knight", and I really hope it's the direction that Deltarune takes. I think one of the most interesting parts of Deltarune is how lightners can and will react to dark fountains as places and creations; The knight, whoever they are, is a way to analyze the perspective that wholeheartedly believes in the dark worlds as a way to make positive change, and because of this is a foil to Ralsei's beliefs. Having multiple "Knights", or more specifically having more people making dark fountains for their own reasons, just allows you to cover more aspects of Dark Fountains as a concept. Is the Knight doing this for escapism? Are they trying to find someone? Do they think the roaring is some necessary apocalyptic event? Having multiple knights allows you to explore all of this through different antagonists/creators of dark fountains. Like you said, there are a ton of doors that open when the fountains can be divided between multiple candidates. Stuff like "Kris can't be the knight because they were occupied for all of the Day the Ch. 2 fountain was made and it doesn't make sense for them to be able to do it the night before" or "Papyrus can't be the knight because he doesn't interact with anyone in chapter 2, which would be weird if he was doing this to make friends" are no longer obstacles, since these candidates simply could have not made that specific fountain. This gives the DR devs freedom to explore candidates who might be very thematically interesting, but couldn't have made every fountain. It also explains how different the knight acts between the chapter 2 fountains; In chapter 1, the knight gets extremely involved, restructuring the entire structure of the dark world. In chapter 2, though, the knight doesn't interact with anyone; Even Queen, who's both extremely influential and very interested in contacting the knight, doesn't get the chance to see them. An example of a candidate this helps is Noelle. Noelle is heavily foreshadowed to make a fountain sometime in the future, and Noelle being the knight could be used as a vehicle to explore Deltarune's main themes of Escapism/Control incredibly well, using Noelle's attempts to use Dark Worlds to find Dess/Save Rudy to argue what we do and don't have control over. She's heavily foreshadowed to be this game's version of the "Angel" that's in Undertale, and pretty much the only thing we know about the Angel is that they'll make a dark fountain. Noelle knows how to make a fountain, has been encouraged to do so by Queen, and she's clearly stronger than any individual party member already/gets stronger faster than any of them, showing she could definitely pose a threat on her own to the fun gang. Despite all this, though, Noelle can't be the knight, since there's no way she could have made the Chapter 1/2 fountains. (Kris is another normally not-very likely candidate who's extremely thematically interesting, and who would make a lot more sense if the Chapter 2 fountain in particular was just not made by Kris.) Talk in the game generally saying there's only one Knight is a ding to this, but I think it can definitely be explained, specifically by considering "Knight" as a character in a prophecy rather than a specific person. Making the Knight making fountains into a prophecy works thematically; You can look at different candidates and their relationship to the prophecy, and how it ties into their agency in making fountains in the first place. Are they inadvertently fulfilling the prophecy? Deliberately leaning into it? If they know of the prophecy, are they denying it? You could even go so far as to point out that lightners all get different clothes when they go into dark fountains (presumably based on their will/soul/determination or whatever) and argue that anyone with the will to create a dark fountain could be given the armor of the knight on entering the world they made.

Om nom. Delicious 30 minute Deltarune video essay. Just when I needed it as well…

After listening to these suspects and theories...I began to wonder...whos to say Dess and Asriel didn't plan her disappearance and then Asriel followed suit once she reached out to him. She could be hiding from her mother and Asriel going to college is just a ruse. It would be funny if they just ran away with each other for the sake of love

My out there theory is that the Knight is Mad Mew Mew/Probably Mad Dummy in this timeline. She's known to use knives, and living with Mettaton is probably driving her insane. Though i mostly just want more Mad Mew Mew lmao

The only thing that stays at the end of each chapter are the good deeds you did, the recruits you helped

the "most replayed" feature is so useful for RSL ads

My god, that picture of Rouxls Kaard and Kris in mgr killed me, and i totally agree on that point.

Gaster connecting with Rouxls first and dumping him after realizing hes a waste of time is now my headcanon. Hilarious.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure everyone's love of Spamton will lead us to damnation. I mean it lead us to a Spamton Sweepstakes and that had a Spamton's Ass scented candle, that's already damnation.

I think spooky dood is the knight and he keeps opening dark worlds because he loves the adventures

The idea of having 2 knight's is actually worth thinking about. Think about it. There is 2 knight on a chess board. So we have the king and the queen. And in the next chapter there is 2 characters that could represent the bishops, of jesters in other languages. (being on the TV they are entertainers and give the news and stuff like that) Although I don't get what piece is in the 4th chapter with your knight chapter 5 theory. The the 8 pawns could be all the 7 secret bosses and Kris.

What I think is interesting is that, normally if you defeat a single monster in Chapter 1 Ralsei puts King to Sleep. This applies to every monster except Jevil, I fought and defeated him and it somehow didn’t count. Maybe the secret bosses being fought won’t undermine your pacifism especially when this fits one of the video themes of fighting only when you have to.

i can't believe you got The Warrior lore wrong. in the chapter 1 livestream right before chapter 2 was released, toby says that The Warrior is in an ICE-E mascot costume, but never takes it off.

for a multi knight theory, how about RK. the main issue with the RK is the knight theory is that he can't open fountains, but what if RK is working with a lightner. The lightner goes around opening dark fountains, and RK handles everything regarding the Roaring Knights brand/stopping the fountains from being closed. This explains why the knight left the Cyber World so quickly, as they did the exact same with the Card Kingdom. RK swooped in immediately after their comrade opened the Card Kingdom dark fountain and locked all the kings up, putting him and his strange son into power. He tried to do the same with the Cyber World, but completely failed as he arrived at the same time as the Delta Warriors, giving him no time to properly climb the social ladders/no opportunity to claim himself as the knight.

I guess we were the real Knights all along

I forget how exactly this came about, but a friend and I ended up making some inside-joke connections or something and claiming that The Noise from Pizza Tower was the Knight, connected through him being a knight in one of his transformations? That's insane enough to have as a headcannon for me, can't wait for the deep lore to be revealed there.

I genuinely think that ice-e could be connected somehow to the Knight.

It would be hilarious to have Rouxls Kaard being a minor part of every chapter, getting more stuff each appearance, starting with an easy puzzles then a full fight. Only to end up an extremely challenging super boss or the KNIGHT

Scrumptious

For like 10 seconds I actually thought that raid shadow legends add was ironic omg

With regards to the "Multi Knight theory", my take is this: The *first* fountain was opened up by someone else, the computer lab one was opened up by Kris. I never get why people discount Kris in the computer lab dark fountain, always claiming Noelle and Berdly have to be in the room when the fountain opened. Both Kris and Susie walked into a Dark World thinking the lights had been turned off, why wouldn't Berdly and Noelle?

"Everyman is the knight because there's a medieval play named Everyman with a few characters similar to deltarune" gives me the same vibes as "Mike isn't real because there's a commercial made in 1997 that had Big Shot and Mike in it"

1. New video already?! 2. Congrats on being sponsored! That’s a big accomplishment!

Ice E being important just makes me think we’ll play through a dark world equivalent of Disneyland lol

13:28 i think that "roaring knight" is a title that whoever opens the dark fountain gets, and that, given they open a fountain, anyone could be a roaring knight

Tbh I've heard the term "everyman" just used as like an old school way of just saying an average person so my interpretation of that entity has always been he's suppose to be the monster equivalent of a stick figure? Like monsters don't have a consistent silhouette like humans do it being just some fun little worldbulding like that always made sense to me. That noted it very well could be a reference to that play actually like that makes sense too lol.

Has anyone pointed out Noelle's horns in the dark world really resemble the wings of the Delta Rune?

I think that having rouxls have rk as his initials is a tease, and we're going to get a letter from rk and everyone is gonna go bonkers, but it was just rouxls.

Couldn't everyman be literally just a generic everyman? like a generic monster picture. You draw a circle, two eyes, a nose and mouth boom thats a person. You draw a lumpy shape with some eyes, boom thats a monster

CONTENT WARNING: there is a RAID SHADOW LEDGENDS ad in this piece of content. Skip to this time [ 3:22 ] to avoid it.

My feelings on this video are mixed. But one thing I have to agree with, is the fact that Ice-E is completely unchanged between the Light and Dark worlds... I have never noticed that until now.

Gerson being JRR Tolkien is the headcannon I'll always agree with lol Also 14:20 this feels so much like Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated

ice-e got that icillionaire grindset

i dont think Everyman is The Knight, but he's definitally something of a watcher, the fact that he appears in a bunch of places and a bunch of them hard to spot, observing us

I think the Ice-E warrior just has a full-body costume on

Im very impressed not only because of the actually great theorys in its context but also the fact gaster wasnt included in the theorys main things this whole video suprised me a lot

Since a few people are asking: I know Everyman is also a common term used in literature, I didn't really have anything to say about that, lol.

ICE only appearing in Undertail in Sans crossword, but being plastered all over Deltaruin is just another proof that Sans in UT IS the DR Sans

my theory is that rouxls is somehow tied to papyrus with their shared affinity for puzzles and both lancer and sans give a similar vibe ? Also papyrus being a skeleton and rouxls being a ghost thing of some sort who just appeare-ifys out of nowhere and floats ?

*clicks on video about deltarune* “This video contains spoilers for the movie Scream” *double checks what I clicked*

while im not convinced that the everyman is the knight, i do think the rest of this interpretation is amazing! especially the connection to the secret bosses and his companions, specifically spamton and goods. so, while everyman may not be the knight himself, he will definitely be important. i hope

Ice-E has always been a bit confusing to me. I often think back to Ice Wolf throwing ice into the Core in Undertale. With the parallel of Gaster falling into what is implied to be the Core, maybe something happened that turned an ice block into Ice-E. I'm fairly certain this is a whole lot of nothing but it's something I can't get out of my head. It also makes me think of the fun value events, and how there's some sort of connection to Gaster in all of them with the sole exception being "Nightmare"

Pizzapants is the knight, thats how ice-e ties in. I mean the "warrior" the "knight" like idk it makes sense The monsters in the Dark World seem to be a combination of both the objects inherent properties, and the temperament of whoever opened the fountain, pizzapants matches this exactly. -All of the enemies in chapter 1 are money driven, overly emotional, and all mention hating their jobs. Money: "Jigsawry is wishing it could quit its job." "Rudinn dislikes its boss, but doesn't care enough to quit." -Clover, the CAT, boss is a 3 headed overly emotional cat, like pizzapants, constantly shuffling through extreme emotions. Acting: -"Clover joins the stage!" -"Spamton turns to the audience and laughs." -"Spamton begs to the audience, Spamton prays to the audience." -"Umm, anyway, let's move onto my favorite: ACTING!" Ralsei (implications????) -Roulxs Card speaks with an old shakesperian affect, Pizzapnts mentioned wanting to save up enough money to study theatre. Pizza: -"Top Chef... is, however, very emotional and prone to express sadness when his skills don't get the respect he thinks they deserve" -"[Mauswheel] Smells like a three-cheese pizza." Additional -Pizzapants states he misses "riding around town" with asriel. Spamton's flavor text :"Spamton feels the sweet breeze as he takes a ride around town." -Seam calls him the "strange knight," Pizzapants is very strange -Spamton quotes Pizzapants after almost revealing the knights identity when you visit his shop. Spamton is also part CAT type. -In the castle tile puzzle where the shapes all represent a character, one is a boot. Peopel have said Papyrus because of this, but no, The ICE-E Pezza store uniform features large yellow boots. -Pizzapants, in his first scene in the game, takes off a mask before he talks to you. (This one is more of a literary example, but also WHY animate a character taking off a mask if it isn't supposed to say something about a character) -Spamton says "MEET LOCAL SINGLES STRAIGHT FROM [My]", if you talk to Pizzapants after defeating the queen, he tells you how he just met a "girlfriend" online. pizzapant's coworker, the totally new character. His name is literally the "Warrior," which I think is really compelling on its own, (Warrior, the knight, etc. Logically it makes sense) especially considering we don't know what the nicecream guy or pizzapants's real names are, both are nicknames. The only character at the "pezza" shop whose name we know is the "Warrior." -This one might seem like a stretch on by itself, but when you put this next example amongst the other examples I think its at least interesting. 'the one who talks in hands,' is one of the other ways characters refer to the knight. Well immediately after we defeat the queen and we return to hometwon, the ONLY character in ALL of hometown who could be considered to be "talking in hands" is pizzapants, as hes texting his "gf", and I checked he is the only character texting. And what is texting? Its a way of talking with your hands, ie literally typing on a keyboard. Additionally, its clear that the concept of "freedom" is a massive theme of this game. So its interesting that in chapter one Ppants says "Enjoy your freedom, little buddy, while it lasts." Which in the context of the "scene" makes sense since he is talking about his job, but if you consider that there is also heavy implication that an aspect of the finished Deltarune story will involve starting the game over in some capacity, it fits alongside dialogue like Seam, Jevil, etc, which all happens in Chapter 1. And if we follow that maybe Ppants dialogue is some form of foreshadowing, which is obv a speculation, but if it is then his other line of dialogue during chapter 1 ""Little buddy, its me, wanna chat for a minute before I lose my mind." could also be foreshadowing something. My guess is that hess the knight and that will be revelaed chapter 5, but I don't think the knight will end up being the main antagonist. I think there is probablyy a larger villain we'll start to hear about in chapter 4

Everyman is Gaster. Or at least, a part of him. His name implies he is either everywhere or everything, and judging by his increased amount of appearances in Deltarune, I’m leaning towards the former. Why does he appear in the true lab during one of Reaper Bird’s attacks? He seemingly isn’t an amalgamate himself, and the fact that he’s limited to just a weird attack is interesting. In Deltarune, you can find him drawn in a back alleyway, with his name directly written. You can find his head on some of the ducks during Jevil’s merry-go-round attack, and he appears on a pop-up ad in chapter 2. But his most interesting appearance in Deltarune in my opinion is during Queen’s drama attack, where he is randomly mixed among the other animal heads, but instead of spewing words like the others, he just does nothing. Almost like he just wants to see what’s happening. An interesting line from one of the Gaster followers in Undertale has them state that they’re holding a piece of Gaster in their hands. If Gaster was really split up into many different things, couldn’t Everyman be his eyes? It explains why Everyman is in the true lab, and why he is plastered randomly in Deltarune. He’s keeping watch of what’s happening. Just like how a certain someone views these two worlds as experiments, and simply watches from beyond to see just how interesting things can get.

What if Kris is Everyman? He and Susie were summoned to an adventure that will probably lead to death by Ralsei, and in the snowgrave Noelle and Berdly leaves the story, like the characters that abandoned Everyman. The Everyman we see is a mockery of Kris, like the whole universe is laughing at their face. So Kris is Everyman, Susie is Good will and Ralsei is death, leading us to our demise. Listening to Ralsei and going no violence will lead to an ending similar to the play, and going wild will lead to the worst ending possible, forcing us to learn when to use violence or not.

with the existence of the twisted sword, I do expect there will be a third path beyond the normal and snowgrave routes

Plarium must have paid you well to make an ad THAT long.That's the longest Raid Shadow Legends ad I've ever seen.

10:42 I know it’s a joke theory, but you putting ice e with Gaster made me realise something When Noelle describes the Ice-E pizza box, it WINKS at her. One eye closed, and one open. And who else has a face similar to that of winking? Gaster Now this could just be a one off, but I’m pretty sure when solving the GIAFLECS (The gibberish word puzzle) and Ice-E glitches out, it winks repeatedly. Just something to think about EDIT: Just realised Ice-E being a window for Gaster makes a little more sense when you realise his only other appearance in Undertale is from **SANS** wordsearch (and sans is pretty heavily doused in Gaster related stuff)

Okay, i have a theory, imagine if in the end of deltarune, we have to open another fountain or something, and we end up destroying the reality, and as the world becomes darker and darker, and everyone disappears, we see kris falling down on the void, and then his heart breaks in half, after that we follow the right side of the heart as it falls, then it starts becoming all white and it begins taking form of something, as time goes by, the heart takes form of something human shaped, but small, then the heart starts becoming colored, and instead of seeing the right heart falling, we see frisk falling, then they hit the ground, and we are in the start of undertale, after that cutscene, we begin moving, and as we are entering the ruins, the title screen drops, and what does it say? "Undertale". Revealing that deltarune was a prologue.

I think there's another Knight candidate. I think it could be the character we created within the first 5 minutes.

The real Knight was the friends we made along the way.

I actually had "there is more than one Knight" theory for a while now, though I called the theory the "heroes of darkness" as the idea was that there was a "dark player character party" that was a foil to the heroes of legend/prophecy, whom I called the "heroes of darkness." Only one of them was the capital "K" knight under this theory, but all three where working togther, and each one lined up to a "RPG player character class/player character party role"....the foil parties where essentially.. Heroes of Legends/Fun Gang Kris = Warrior/Knight Ralsei = Spellcaster Susie = Berserker Heroes of Darkness/Team Roaring Warrior/Knight = THE Knight, aka the one doing the dirty work of actively opening fountains while the other two dark heroes/team roaring members move pieces from the shadows. Under my Heroes of Darkness theory, was either a Gerson Darkner or Des Spellcaster = Father Alvin Berserker = Mayor Holiday (She is described as being scary and imposing enough to scare robbers away all by herself, so she would fit here) Idea was "The Knight" goes around making fountains while Father Alvin provides the esoteric knowledge and mystical talent needed to maintain the existence of "The Knight" while the Mayor acts as the "leader" of the team and public front, who covers up what they are doing and prepares the town for the roaring ritual (aka the festival). The theory was really too long to post here.

0:12 You bought me there. Perfect theory. Liked and subscribed!

Not Knight related but I just had an idea. What if Gaster's ultimate plan in Deltarune is to go back to Undertale, but at the expense of the current world? Maybe his plan fails, leading to Sans and Papyrus being transported to Undertale instead.

The biggest argument for Starwalker is that he's the one, the original Starwalker.

there is no WAY you compared deltarunes combat to raid shadow legends💀💀💀💀💀

Alvin is def connected to and/or knows something about the Knight, but he's clearly the Bishop

Your choices matter. Your consequences do not. You have all the control. You have no control. In the end, you should try to get along, otherwise you may not find the results favorable. Hell is paved through good intentions.

MOST UNDERRATED YT CHANNEL, been following you from theory one, hope you keep growing

everyman is the person corrupting the secret bosses, which is why they appear in jevil's attack, and they are doing it to try to find a companion this doesnt mean that everyman is the knight, but that they are the one corrupting the secret bosses, which i think could be separate i am convinced that gaster is the knight, and i'll explan if someone asks, but i dont know

Perhaps The Knight is friends we made along the way

I’ve thought there were multiple knights for a while, the term ‘The’ knight would relate to the knight of the individual dark world rather than a single person. If not then then the knight only opened the first fountain and maybe the second because we see kris open a fountain and Birdly basically says he opened the library fountain. Also I believe a swatching or Queen says that the knight created ‘our’ world referring to the library dark world but I could be wrong about that so its not much for evidence. Its a bit of semantic argument but I stand by it.

Bro the starwalker one is hilarious

Imo Everyman is the eggman dude. The knight is papyrus or mayor holiday, clean slates, but not the main villain, will likely come around to the side of good at the end And gaster is the main villain who I predict will either be inspire or litterally be grandpa semi, a unused undertale charecter who is heavily linked to REDACTED who is heavily linked to gaster

One that I see everywhere is that the discarded vessel could potentially be the Knight. I'm not exactly sure what makes people believe this, but I'll try my best to make it work. I'll even attempt to tie it in with Angel's Hell. The vessel, after being discarded, felt confused and betrayed after being thrown away. It seeks to receive an answer as to why it was discarded, or at the very least, an answer to anything. Eventually, it learns of the prophecy and of the Angel's Heaven. Perhaps, as someone who was created in the Depths, the discarded vessel knows that Gaster is the Angel. It knows that if anyone holds an answer, it would be him. And so, it attempts to bring about the Roaring in order to come face-to-face with him. While an interesting enough idea, I just cannot find anyone who actually provides significant evidence to support the Vessel Knight theory to save my life. Trust me, I've tried.

regarding ice-e, i think the significance of him winking at noelle at night is, more than anything, a reference to being "shrouded in darkness" causing things to come alive (like the dark world). her thinking electrical outlets were looking at her seems to be similar. a living ice-e is probably gonna show up in a dark world at some point but i don't expect him to be a vital character - if he is, it'll probably be in a way where a cryptid ice-e caused some important event to happen but isn't consciously "in on" the story of the game himself. something like dess or noelle encountering him as a monster at some point

Congratulations on the sponsorship spookydood! Get that bag!💵

I love you spookydood, whenever you upload it makes my day

Multi-Knight is already canon if you don't buy Kris being the Knight

I did not know about the Everyman play at all. That's totally relevant. Toby seems to enjoy adding religious and mythological themes to Undertale.
