Why Gaster Matters to Deltarune PART 2! 

Fangamer should make a "gaster plushie" that's sold out forever.

the sequel we needed but never expected

I like the implication that Gaster is specifically targeting Manlets. No short king shall be spared from insanity

I got the Noelle name secret by literally my name being Noelle 😭😭 I was actually freaked out because i thought i did something wrong

7:45 I would be remiss in my certified nerd license if I didn't point out that Sans actually doesn't remember events that were saved over -- he just knows about the "the anomaly" which is causing timelines to "go left and right, stopping and starting", and he's very good at reading facial expressions. Putting two and two together from reading Frisk's face after repeated Pacifist playthroughs, he gathers you're the anomaly and pranks you across time and space. What a guy.

8:15 You actually forgot to mention something here. The "Don't Forget" image isn't the only thing in this drawer, there's actually multiple things you can find in this drawer. The default thing you find if you interact with it is "photos of Sans with a lot of people you don't recognize". However, if you interact with clamgirl, after she tells you about suzy, if you go back to the drawer and check it, you find the "don't forget" drawing. At the end of the pacifist route if you check the drawer, you find a picture of yourself and all your friends. Just thought this was some interesting info you left out, since people literally only talk about the dont forget drawing nowadays.

11:10 It's also possible that this is a reference to the Undertale kickstarter where Sans and Papyrus debuted, potentially implying that they just kind of despawned and respawned in snowdin once the game was complete!

0:38 I feel called out, lol. XD 6:44 you do not. Walking back and forth is all that is required for egg 2. I mean, that and not being on a Snowgrave route.

Nobody ever talks about how if you translate EGG into all caps wingdings it makes the moveset of a Knight piece in chess but honestly I have no idea if that could be just another big fat coincidence or the most vague and weird foreshadowing and it really could be either tbh

Personally I hold that the Egg Man is none other than _Everyman!_ He's just a nice guy who shows up sometimes. Little cameos in attacks. Seen in graffiti. Waves at you in cars. Offers you eggs. Every bit as enigmatic as Gaster, but where Gaster has River Men telling you to *beware* him, Everyman's only description is from the artbook, describing him as "nice", and "intermittent". What two things are this enigmatic Egg Man?

12:19 That image killed me. The idea that December is just sitting there huddled up and Gaster gives a friendly wave is amazing to me

2:22 I cannot stress how so incredibly giggly I got at watching Kris run around at top speed.

God i f*cking love your gaster voice, he sounds exactly like a guy who's hiding the whole plot of the game but REALLY wants to tell you this ONE joke from chapter 5 but cant

11:37 " i've given up going back a long time ago... and getting to the surface doesn't really appeal anymore *either* " so he definitely is NOT from the surface or well, at least not the undertale surface....

I had a really solid epiphany that I can't remember all of from a while back, but the gist of it is that the "garbage noise" isn't directly tied to Gaster. It's actually some sort of interference noise that comes from trying to communicate between dimensions. That's why it's all you can hear when Kris uses their phone to call anyone from the Dark World. If Gaster is stuck a layer deeper than a Dark World like the current theories speculate, it would also explain why Spamton's final phone call was also garbage noise. It would explain why Entry 17 has it in the background, if it's being sent to us from another dimension (remember that the only way to access Entry 17 is to manually edit your room ID in Undertale's files). And it could explain why it's at low intensity behind the bunker doors: if the bunker leads to a Dark World that's been open this whole time with a dark fountain spewing since Dess's disappearance, it's possible you'd be able to detect the dimensional interference of it just from being close by.

I saw the notification on my phone from the corner of my eye, and I have never reacted so swiftly

10:03 It's always been strange to me how promiment the "Gaster fell into the Core" theory is. To me, it always made much more sense for the "creation" that Gaster fell into to be the mysterious machine in San's workshop - with the machine being some kind of space and/or time travel machine. This would line up much better with a couple other mysterious bits of info we've gotten on Gaster. 1: It makes much more sense for Gaster to have ended up spread across all of space and time if he fell into a machine that manipulates space and time, rather than just a big energy generator like the Core. 2: It would explain why Sans has been trying so desparately to fix the machine under the tarp for so long - to get his father back. Sure, Sans shouldn't have any knowledge about Gaster since he was erased. But, Sans is also notoriously able to accuratlely put together what's happening when timespace anomolies are in play even when he doesn't actually have the exact information, like him being able to perfectly predict what Frisk has done in previous saves. I'm sure he's noticed he just never had a dad. 3: It fits with the whole "Sans and Papyrus are originally from Deltarune" theory, with the green grass and the boys appearing from seemingly nowhere and whatnot. A machine that can travel through time/space/dimensions/whatever would be a pretty good explanation for how that was accomplished.

I just love the unhinged rambling that every faster video is just required by universal law to become by the 10 minute mark…

5:51 6:48 I wonder if we can eventually string together the beginning notes of the songs sandwiching the egg rooms to create a funny gaster song.

9:32 Sorry in advance, you might have forgotten something. /lh In one of the earlier newsletters, there was a rougue' gallery of all the Grillby's bargoers which included bios for important to minor characters. The Skelly Bros. also gets bios, but something on Sans' bio stuck out as it says "The first day he appeared, he sat down and said "i'll take the usual." I don't know what this means, whether I should take it literally or it's just Toby trolling us, I was just reminded of this when I were taking about them.

You forgot to include that Gaster is my dad.

4:26 makes me think about how the Fun-value “sound test” room with all the songs titled after things that aren’t in the game (including “Gaster’s Theme”) takes the place of one of the rooms in Snowdin where you’re on the banks of the river.

wing gaster our beloved

8:24 I'm going to sound crazy, but seeing that Spamton says "don't forget!" in tandem with the song made me tear up on the spot and I'm not sure why. It's just got me like, wow how deep does this mystery go?

The Shopkeeper dialogue is far from the only evidence for sans and Papyrus being from Deltarune. A very consistent motif with sans is the idea of a home he can’t return to. He mentions it at the Hotel diner saying he ’knows the feeling’ of wanting to go home, and in his fight he says he ’gave up trying to go back a long time ago’, and it’s made clear he’s not referring to the surface because the next line states that the surface doesn’t really appel anymore either, implying that it’s separate from wherever he wants to return to. So, sans and Papyrus appeared in Snowdin at some point (not too long ago unless the Shopkeeper’s older than she seems), from some place they can’t return to anymore. sans has a photobook full of people Frisk doesn’t recognise and in it there’s a specific photo with three people and the words ’Don’t forget’. sans also has a machine which is broken and the purpose of which is unknown. Deltarune has a trio of protagonists; Kris, Susie, and Ralsei (like the three people in the picture) Papyrus does not recognise the sun in True Pacifist ending, which wouldn’t make sense if he was from the surface world of Deltarune, if it wasn’t for the fact that Toby’s so far deliberately had Papyrus stay fully in doors in Deltarune. Add to all this the Gaster connections sans and Papyrus have, and Gaster’s heavy presence in Deltarune, and you get a very compelling argument for the following theory; sans and Papyrus were in the world of Deltarune before they were in the world of Undertale, whether that’s their ultimate origin world is disputable and unknown. They met Gaster in Deltarune’s world (whom had already been scattered in Undertale’s world), and at some point during Deltarune’s events they will be sent off to Undertale after having played some part in the story, and received a picture of the main trio.

The first video is one of my favourite Undertale essays ever, and I think the reason so many people liked it isn't just the noise around chapter 2, but the way you just take years of speculations and theories and compose them into one (not so) definitive and relatively short sweet video. The ability to take a look back at all of these Gaster things capitalised by different people in the fandom, it's kinda comforting.

12:17 you indeed did forget something else, in the valentines day newsletter toby does for fangamer, there was a chance to get 3 random cards from characters. people got them all but there was one where a character spoke in all caps and didnt have a picture talking about how they wanted to help you with something and when people discovered it the card mysteriously vanished an hour or so after.

Actually if you put word EGG in wingdings you'll get ☝️👈👈 which is how knight moves in chess so egg man is the knight

Something BIG you forgot to mention: When you’re about to enter the Library to meet Noelle and Berdly, you can interact with one of the cars but ONLY if you received the Egg from Chapter 1. I kid you not, it says: *(Looks like a car) *(There is even a man inside this one) *(He waves happily) … Sound familiar?

8:35 yeah, "I'm with you in the dark" can have such a creepy double meaning, i'm surprised i haven't seen more people talk about that. especially since that part of the melody tends to be the one quoted the most in the ost. the world revolving specifically repeats it over and over and over again at its end.

6:41 It looks like the guy behind the door tells you that. "This here is my pride and joy..." must be referring to the fact that it's the only knockable door in the whole city and that guy feels lucky and special because of that 8:46 Like for your HTML editing skills and Mother series music

As someone who is also very into comic book heroes AND long-form documentaries, I will be front-and-center for the 4-hour Shazam video.

I love the small subsection of Deltarune fans that came into existence when Spamton was introduced but still liked Jevil more so now they're bitter because saying that you like Jevil is now a STATEMENT. That is me I am one of them

Gaster's potential association with the eggs has me re-assessing that Mystery Man sprite like... hmm, his head does kinda look like an egg. And being "irreparably shattered" in the story sounds like that Humpty Dumpty fairy tale. But mostly I just think it's funny if the former royal scientist was literally an egg head.

11:50 Sans and Papyrus were seen before the game’s release in that one kickstarter thing that had “Papyrus’s super cool song in it” It was their first appearance and it’s what I personally believe papyrus to be referring to

12:19 this Dess design is so cute!!

Misty, I’m a huge fan! I have work tonight but now I get to deltarune the gaster!

4:05 speaking of the man who speaks in hands, it’s probable that the first line Spamton speaks in the Freedom motif portion of BIG SHOT is “Fingers coming from the ends of the phone” (there’s somn in the sweepstakes about the first three letters being F I N). Fingers, the main component of a hand, coming out of a phone, a device with which you speak. Literally speaking with hands

More evidence for egg man being faster is "mysterious man" and "mystery man" Edit: I meant Gaster not faster lol

The beginning genuinely got me because i watched the last gaster video last night then subbed, and got sad that there were no other deltarune videos

4:26 The song under the sea is probably a reference to that one Fun event in the Snowdin area (not the town, like, right after you come out of the ruins and meet Sans and Papyrus) where the save point and box are, where if you walk upwards to the room with the river and the fishing rod, you can hear small snip-its of songs like what Onion-San is describing. One of those songs is Gaster's theme.

5:00 I like to think the reason Gaster says you're about to meet someone wonderful for Kris, Susie, and Noelle, but no one else. Is because Kris, Susie, and Noelle are all very normal names that the player could very possibly have. So it's Toby's cute way of having Gaster acknowledge this without being spoilery or weird about the player's name ^^

The first Gaster video is required reading now for Underrune Deltatale class, so it's great to get a few more chapters for the textbook!

It's legit crazy how many addendums could be made for gaster evidence, hints and theories, it could actually make me go insane. The sweepstakes just being filled with odd references and even a blatant Darker yet Darker quote. The egg/tree man connections. Like the possible reference to the tree in the true lab of undertale and the fact that the theme for "man" is a yume nikki track for seccom masada, who together with Uboa resembles Gaster a lot. The layout of the first tree room even mirros the mystery man room quite a bit. And the way to access these tree rooms feels like a nod to the Uboa encounter, where you also have to leave and enter a room over and over again. Then there is the possibly coincidental fact that "egg" in WingDings spells out the moveset a *kight* chess piece would make. Eggs in general are weird in Undertale and deltarune and turn my brain to mush thinking about it. Even Mystery Man's head just looks like a cracked egg now. And then there are the Memory Heads in the true lab that are super mysterious and their "Bad Memory" item that fits the theme of "Don't Forget" and even behave similarly to the egg in Deltarune. Absolute wild stuff and reading this without knowing the games makes me sound like an insane person. Can't wait for the next chapter, I'm basically starving at this point.

i will mention one thing that hasn't been mentioned in either videos, its two secret audios in undertale's files that are VERY much tied with gaster. the first file is jumbled varied TTS voices forming up dialogue about not wanting to share secrets about the game. the second one came out that came out after this was discovered (from my memory of this happening i could be wrong) that people suspect said "HAPPY PEOPLE" with each syllable of the words in different TTS voices as well. this is DEFINITELY somewhat linkes to gaster as his voicebox in undertale is parts of different TTS voices put together in different voices which makes it sound more unique than every other dialogue we've heard in the game. (also partly the same TTS we hear in the deltarune chapter 1 opening) it also seems to be talking directly to the player about the game which gaster is 1. pretty much aware everything is part of a game from his followers and 2. has talked directly to us before through the twitter posts and at the start of deltarune chapter 1. it really shows how distant gaster is from the game's world to our own as he fell out of time and space and is communicating to this world via unusual means but still somewhat linked to the game. it's a really cool detail i'm a little shocked wasn't brought up!

I want to point out that it's never really said that Gaster fell into the Core; he fell into "his own creation", which could mean a dark world or some powerful mysterious version of a dark world considering the Entry 17 experiment is very likely to be connected to dark worlds

I literally just discovered you and watched all your deltarune and undertale videos and I was sad I blazed through them all. LOW AND BEHOLD YOU UPLOAD TODAY SHAGAGAGA. Your content is very well thought out its awesome.

an interesting thing to note about the sans and papyrus origin stuff is that sans lost soul in the asriel fight makes a comment something along the lines of "youll never see em again' and during the genocide fight mentions about giving up on "going back;' notably seperate from going to the surface youll never see em again could possibly be about the other lost souls i suppose but mixed with the stuff in sans lab; sans being cagey about their past in the qna thing finishing the question; and the showing up one day in snowdin thing i feel like it heavily implies they were somewhere before undertale; and i doubt they were banned from a part of the underground or something. it definitely sound like sans had to leave somewhere with no way of ever returning or seeing the people there again; and if it were the surface way in the past i doubt theyd have seperated the lines about going back and going to the surface

I'm sure someone's already mentioned this, but the badge in Sans' drawer is often assumed to be Asgore's police badge from Deltarune. (unclear how he would have it, but yknow)

Your previous video is now one of the leading lore dumps/explanations for the importance of Gaster, and I try to share it around as much as I can. We need more people like you in the Deltarune/Undertale community. A weird amount of people straight-up deny that Gaster exists at all and it hurts, especially as someone who wants to see him someday... after waiting for eight years. I kinda want answers more than being left with my own conclusions, especially since Gaster surrounds a lot of key lore. (Fighting him could be fun too, like the superbossiest of superbosses...)

That garbage noise panning was a nice touch

If Toby every makes gasters design different from the mystery man in the 66 fun value room the internet will lose it

1:06 !!UBOA DETECTED!! “summoning 500 unnamed yume nikki fans”

You saying 'two of them' in the first video has been stuck in my brain forever, why have you put this curse on meeee

No wayyyyy that was the first video of yours I've watched and it was pivotal to my Undertale phase 😭

HOW HAS IT BEEN 2 YEARS OH MY STARS 😭

I have been waiting for this for a long while :O I appreciate that you're following it up on it, and I really really appreciate that you've been doing all kinds of things in the meantime :>

2:57 this point also reminds me of a voice file within the original undertale game, titled abc_123_a.ogg when the game first released, it was seemingly evident that people were going through the game files and finding secrets, so the file was intended to be found by those players. it was an amalgamate (literately) of different pitched voices, some high pitched, some whispering, and even some singing, in that same sound font that is presumed here to be gaster. it forewarned the consequences of talking about spoilers online, even taunting the player, before cascading into disembodied laughter-- lines like "no one will be impressed", and "it will be your fault" being the most notable. since the game was spoiled anyway, if you return to that same file, it is just the laughter on loop forever. it's an eery and foreboding aspect of the original undertale game, and how there's an awareness to our curiosity and power -- how can interact and are aware of these aspects of the game, like gaster, but despite all that, he still holds the upper hand since he knows very well what is exactly going on in both games, more than we do. it's so neat :,)

Well, _I'm_ interested in the Shazam video! Thanks for mentioning it, I'll be here to watch it.

I literally rewatched your video today. A follow-up 2 years later was not something I expected. In a good way, of course. LET'S GOOOOOOO

love the OG video, rewatched it recently! excited to watch this!

I'm only 3:14 in but OMG THE CAPTIONS ON THIS ARE AMAZJNG!! The capitalization and just idk how else to describe it but style they're written in convey such a specific tone! 2:33 "[garbage noise fading into the middle distance, then slowly fading away]" I really appreciate this one you have no idea

I'm glad you noticed the old song by the sea thing, too! I did too and got... a little carried away. Always good to see more Gaster diving.

Omg I never thought you'd come back with this topic

13:03 Nice singing!

It should be noted that there actually are actual several pieces of evidence which imply that the Egg Man is Gaster, or at least some weird fragment of him. 1.) The Egg is described as being “not too important, not too unimportant.” This is the same kind of grammatical structure that Seam uses to describe what Jevil said after Gaster corrupted him. “He started saying things that didn’t completely make sense… But didn’t completely NOT make sense, either.” 2.) Normally DEVICE_CHOICE-the object which provides the “YES” and “NO” options for Gaster’s Vessel creation sequence-is set to 1. However, if you manually set it to an undefined value, it instead gives you “EGG.” Setting it to 2 also gives you the same thing, alongside other good types such as “DAIRY” and “VEGETABLE.” 2.) On one of Noelle’s blog pages in the $pamton $weepstakes, she recalls a time that the Egg Man gave her an egg via Cat Petterz 2. She states that this Egg was simply labelled “SPECIAL,” and all-caps happens to be a signature speaking quirk of Gaster. 4.) Lastly, Noelle ends her blog post by stating that the Egg had a name, but that she couldn’t remember it. Gaster himself is tied to the concept of being forgotten, as none of the monsters (with the single exception of River Person) seem to be capable of recalling him and his achievements.

I have watched your first video too many times. This is like the sequel I didn't know I needed.

12:43 I am Very VERY INTERESTED

6:07 fun fact the song playing here is "the waltz of Seccom Masada" which is from Toby Fox's Yume Nikki tribute album from I think 10 years ago?

ive been rewatching ur first gaster video bc ut/dr lore is my special interest and it was so well made it was very comforting to me. so im glad to see you made this one ❤

Oh btw thank you for having captions with this vid!! It helped me watch it without any audio processing troubles :) I really appreciate the effort!!

0:03 i wasn't disappointed, cause im still really happy with the fiest Gaster video you made 😄 I'm excited to see a part 2 though! ^^

Me when I realise I forgot to subscribe to the person who made the "Why gaster is important to Deltarune" video and they dropped a sequel 3 hours ago (recommendations are finally useful) : Also now I can subscribe so I don't miss any videos :D

Your thumbnail for this video is adorable, I love it.

Hey! I love that your first gaster video A LOT I watch it every day (literally know the whole dialogue) and I’m so happy there’s a part two! Thank you for coming back take care ❤

10:00, there's no proof in either game that everyone forgot gaster existed

WE NEED JEVIL SWEEPSTAKES

i love your energy SO MUCH, oh god :D "i forgot the BUNKER" part hit me hard with laughter :D thank you for this update! great job, i love it

It makes me happy watching this, like, it sounds like you had a great time making this video and it makes me have a great time watching.

Wait wait wait, it's really bizzarre you made this right after we got the most amount of conversation with gaster with the valentine letters toby released on valentine!! Did you not read Gaster's super fun silly radical love letter to us?

7:25 gaster was the PINGAS man all along

Misty your method of talking about things you care about is why your vids do so well. I wasnt too big on DHIMS but your videos made me want to watch and now I love it! Even your old fnaf videos were some of my favorites. I'm glad you made a new vid! ❤

truly peak video upload or content I respect!!!!

I literally just rewatched your first video on this amorphous goober like a month or so ago, let's goooooooo Also, something that's interesting is that in the opening of Chapter 2, when you go to the Library, the cars jammed outside can be interacted with, one of them comes up with "Looks like a car. There is even a man inside this one. He waves at you happily" Which yeah isn't too strange, but that's a very odd detail to include in something that doesn't really need any sort of secret interaction??? Also you can find Temmie inside of the school and she tells you how many eggs you've collected! Or at least I remember that during one run, but it was a good while ago, someone may be able to confirm or deny that-

I adored the hell out of that outro!

I was not disappointed when I subscribed! I just kept watching the old videos!

The first video is literally what got me into Undertale/Deltarune. I love how clearly your delight comes through in every word, and I'm so happy to have a part two! And I am BEYOND excited for a four hour Shazam video from you!!!

i think it’s highly unlikely that papyrus has been to the surface or is from deltarune, considering a line he says at the end of true pacifist undertale. he asks sans what the glowing ball in the sky is, to which sans replies telling him it’s the sun, and papyrus says that he can’t believe he finally got to meet the sun. this wouldn’t make sense if he’d been to the surface before; anyone who’s been there would be well acquainted with the sun.

Something that is… well, very very interesting to note is that the man behind the tree also appears in the light world. If you took chapter 1’s egg (not sure if you need to have placed it in the fridge), during the traffic in chapter 2, if you interact with either one of the two grey cars (that you can get to) the dialogue reads: *(Looks like a car.) *(There is even a man inside this one.) *(He waves at you happily.) As you’d expect, this only happens once, but I find it weird it can happen in two different places. This might imply the man is a lightner? Though I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s just an entity who isn’t exactly a lightner or darkner

As someone who first played Undertale and Deltarune in 2019, the first "Why Gaster Matters to Deltarune" video was my introduction to Gaster as, like, An Important Thing in UT/DR. And while my brainrot for-and thereby useless knowledge of-these games has grown exponentially since then, I'm so excited to see a part two!

IM SO UPSET I MISSED OUT ON THIS VIDEO WHEN IT WAS UPLOADED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!! been enjoying your other videos when I can but I'm so happy to see youre doing well !!

6:42 I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WAS SOMEONE BEHIND THE DOOR I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT

Egg on windings translates like ☜☝☝... How does a knight move in chess? That's right, two steps in any side and one step on the other side (knight can walk in reverse, just like these symbols). Isn't that sus?

Such a nice put together video, got nothing else to say, have a great day!

Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

10:19 There is some other evidence Sans and Papyrus are from another world Sans' comment about 'giving up on trying to go back a long time ago' during his fight, the track name "It's Raining Somewhere Else", during the date his speech to Frisk about what it takes to go back home could be read as projection, his lost soul dialogue, the photo of people that Frisk doesn't recognize, and Sans "being really happy and at peace that he could celebrate the holidays with so many friends" from Papyrus' Alarm Clock dialogue (heavily paraphrased) is everything I can think of.

7:10 If you translate EGG into wingdings, you get all hands symbols. It could be pure coincidence, but it is the slightest bit of evidence used to back up the theory of Eggman being Gaster.

AHHH yeah I remember that video! Watched it a couple times or so, glad to see you back on the topic!

I've only seen this, and part one, and just wanted to say I love your energy, and I get why you're so crazy about these games. I can't bring myself to play them knowing as much as I know, but the creator is obviously a creative genius.

Been waiting for these for a year and a half
