Deltarune and Undertale Reacts To Is Sans Ness? by The Game Theorists | Episode 01 |

can you imagine a world where we're all represented by a font huh wonder which one i would be too straight no not in that way just straight as in unexciting too uh deadpool broadway now that's the one now that's the one [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] hello internet welcome to game theory where instead of putting a joke here i want to ask you a question if your personality were represented by a font what font would you be take a moment and put your font in the comments i'm really curious to see what everyone has to say maybe find a couple new cool fonts to use getting bored with old calibri 11. and with that out of the way it's time to talk undertale now i don't think i've ever gotten this many requests to cover a game well except for fnaf and i suppose fnaf too oh and then there was snap three wait a minute should i be worried about something here anyway across the board on youtube reddit and twitter you all have wanted undertale and honestly i'm glad you brought it to my attention true loyal theorists will know that earthbound is my favorite game of all time so a self-aware rpg in a similar style oh man it's like a gift from the indie gaming heavens undertale is a game where every character from goat mom to grind fodder has a sympathetic design and unique personality motivations goals fears whether you're saving or slaughtering them the game makes you feel something every time you enter an encounter but to me one character stood out amongst all the rest sans a skeleton named after the font comic sans hence all the font references at the beginning of the episode if you haven't played undertale i'm sure that was a really weird opening anyway sam's is well there's a lot of mystery around this guy and before we get into it let me put up a very special spoiler warning undertale is a game best experienced blind so if you haven't played it pause the video and come back after you've finished i promise you i promise you won't regret it alright so everyone out of the pool and ready for the adult swim good because i'm feeling pretty determined to get to the bottom of sansa's mystery so just to recap for those of you who haven't played the game and ignored the spoiler warning or just need a refresher sams is one of the two skeletal brothers who appear in the game his partner is papyrus a loud goofy trap lover also named after a font but in the world of undertale their origins are a big question mark all that we really know is what's given to us by a shopkeeper in snowden who explains that sans and papyrus quote just showed up one day and asserted themselves weird right what's more is that while papyrus is just kind of the goofy sidekick sans is much more complex sure he likes fart jokes but he's also incredibly powerful and deadly serious not only is his boss battle the hardest in the game he's one of the only characters to have knowledge and power over space and time he often takes shortcuts around the world through ridiculous routes even walking through walls he also acknowledges that he's only one of infinite versions of himself making self-aware commentary of the various timelines that you've played through in the game he can even count the number of times he's killed you he acts like an arbiter in this world passing out judgment on the player's actions in the game even explaining the secrets of exp and love or execution points and levels of violence just to clarify in short he just doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the world of monsters but then what or who is he well the idea that he doesn't belong in underworld seems to be correct the evidence seems to point to the fact that he was in fact formerly a surface dweller in the true pacifist ending of the game as the group looks out onto the horizon papyrus asks sans about the giant ball in the sky sam says quote we call that the sun this is important because a the usage of the word we and knowledge of the sun shows that sans has a kinship or knowledge with other humans and b that despite he and papyrus both being skeletons are supposedly brothers and apparently appeared in underworld at the same time they clearly they clearly have two very different histories why would papyrus not know the name of the sun but sans would we get further clues as to sansa's origin as we hear him say multiple times that he wants to go home or go back he says as much during his dinner date scene at the mettaton hotel he notices that the player must want to go home and says quote i know the feeling he then continues maybe sometimes it's better to take what's given to you as though he ended up in underworld by accident and in a genocide run during his boss fight he says quote look i gave up trying to go back a long time ago end quote and before you say he means going back to the surface world that's clearly not the full story his very next line of dialogue is and getting to the surface doesn't really appeal anymore either key word here is either yes he seems to hail from the surface and wants to go back but based on his dialogue he no longer considers it his home it's as though the surface world he once knew is gone as though he's from a different time it's pretty intriguing so we're left with a being that appeared out of nowhere presumably from the human surface but from a different time period who seemingly has the power to teleport that's a lot of questions and not a lot of answers but here's where things get really interesting sans has a hidden workshop that takes a fair amount of searching to find you could say it takes a lot of determination to unlock anyway obligatory determination references aside as you start to look for this easter egg sans gives you a key to his room with the words it's time you learn the truth after some searching you find the workshop which contains items that leave even more questions a photo album featuring sans and a bunch of smiling people you don't recognize a badge blueprints with a legible handwriting and a broken machine hidden behind a curtain in the latest update one more detail was added a hand-drawn picture of three smiling faces with the words don't forget so what's it all mean well a lot of undertale theorists have been linking these details to a mysterious figure named wd gaster a ghostly character who never truly appears in the game honestly covering him is a theory all unto itself and probably one best save for another day even still none of the gaster theories i've seen have been able to explain all the details in particular the photo album and the badge and that's what kept nagging me as i researched undertale a badge that one in particular really stuck out to me why would such an oddly specific item be included in this huge easter egg of a room something that supposedly reveals the truth about sam's badges just aren't important in undertale and then it hit me what if it wasn't from undertale what if this badge was from a completely different game and was in fact the most important badge in the history of gaming the franklin badge now for those of you wondering what i'm talking about the franklin badge is a pivotal item from the mother series you know the one with earthbound or maybe you don't know that one either uh you know the one that nests from super smash brothers yeah well ness is from earthbound and earthbound is the second part in this larger mother trilogy alright good anyway the franklin badge is a really important part of that series it gets its start in the very first game and carries through the whole trilogy saving your life multiple times in the process it's so important that nintendo has made it a staple item in the smash brothers series so i asked myself what if the badge in sansa's drawer was that exact badge well first off it make undertale connected to my favorite game thereby making it even cooler but that's still a pretty big logical leap i needed more and let me tell you as i started looking more and more pieces started to fit into place at the end of earthbound you're given a photo album covering your adventures throughout the game to me it's one of the best most satisfying endings in gaming to look back on your journey in picture form and what does sans happen to have in his other drawer a photo album filled with pictures of sands with people you don't recognize of course you don't know them they're not characters present in undertale and note the word that's used here people you don't recognize not underworld monsters so that's two items oddly linked to the mother series but then how do the blueprints and broken machine fit in well in the final stretch of earthbound ness and his three friends must travel to the past in order to have their final battle against the evil alien gigas to do that doctor and donuts remember him by the way he's gonna be important later with the help of the science geniuses apple kid and mr saturn create what's known as the phase distorter a machine that allows people to travel through time and space except it comes with a cost it can't transport organic material as a result the young heroes must put their souls into robotic bodies to use the machine and thus save the world i played this game back in 1997 and i'm not ashamed to admit that when i first saw the scene i cried it's devastating dr anne donuts says goodbye to his son these characters that you've grown to love and care about are suddenly promising to sacrifice their lives for all they know there's no possibility of them being able to come back home it's this incredibly dark departure in the final moments of what was otherwise a fun quirky and colorful rpg so what's all this have to do with undertale a lot actually but the first thing you need to know is that mr saturns are known for their let's say unique linguistic style that would explain the illegible handwriting on the blueprints and the machine i think a broken phase distorter is behind that curtain now that may seem like a stretch but it actually explains a lot if sans wound up in underworld via a phase distorter it could provide a reason for why he's a skeleton he used the machine as organic matter and suffered the consequences not killing him but turning at least part of him into a pile of bones it would also explain why sans has given up hope for going home remember the distorter is a time machine by being in underworld he's not only in a different place but based on how he talks he's also in a different time with no hope of traveling back to the time he came from but the crossovers between earthbound and undertale continue when you speak to the apple kid at the end of earthbound he's blown away by the astronomical odds of ness overcoming gigas saying that he's going to continue studying the trait called courage in order to harness its power seems awfully similar to the same experiments happening in undertale around the trait of determination no especially since so much speculation is circulated that sans is a key player in those experiments but i'm sure you also want physical evidence right well don't worry because i have plenty during one of the endings of undertale we see undyne and alfies hanging out on the beach on the surface world a beach that shares a lot of similarities to the tropical resort location named summers that you play through in earthbound in fact the geographic layout of the surface bears some striking similarities to the world of mother when undertale's crew of monsters are finally able to reach the surface and look out over the earth they're met with a beautiful sunset falling across a landscape of a tall mountain a large city and a sandy area adjacent to water notice the sun's reflection to indicate water and a lack of trees in this middle section here hence the sand well in earthbound you have the big city of foresight complete with skyscrapers which you reach via a desert that just so happens to be adjacent to some water and to the east the mountain into nets where a meteorite lands on earth i always called it on it but if that's not clear enough for you mother one earthbound zero earthbound beginnings whatever you want to call it it's had a lot of names had a map laying out the same geographic landscape a tall mountain to the east of a large city separated by a desert with all of it up against a coast i don't know about you but to me it seems like there's a definite connection between the world of eagleland eagle land again unclear how it's pronounced between the world of eagle land and the surface world of undertale but the strongest physical connection the one that definitely unites these two franchises comes from none other than papyrus himself he wears a custom made costume known as his battle body but if you look really closely at the design of the armor you'll notice some markings on the chest is it just a throwaway detail oh no that right there is an exact match to the ones that appear on the chests of starman the most iconic enemy of earthbound and look at the way he stands i always thought it was awkward until i looked at the two characters side by side papyrus's curved arm and hand is a direct match to the curved arms of the star men in the mother series in short we have some incredibly strong proof that the earthbound universe is somehow connected to the undertale world which brings us back to our initial question who is sans well what if we took it one final step and said that sans happened to be ness from earthbound sent through the phase distorter during a test of courage carrying the franklin badge and his photo album in his trusty backpack not only do all the items in the workshop suddenly fit but so does sansa's behavior remember sans can seemingly teleport and ness just so happens to have the psi ability to teleport now look at the way sans always stands hands in his pockets directly facing the camera it's a very similar stance to how nessa's depicted standing in most marketing for the game it even explains why sans bleeds when you finally hit him he is or at least was a human oh and finally sans is only one letter removed from being an anagram for ness that's just a fun one i thought it was worth mentioning but if there was any doubt we have to look no further than the creator's previous work toby fox the man behind undertale had previously worked on a halloween hack for earthbound but this just wasn't a simple re-skin the halloween hack tells the tale of doctor and donuts after the events of earthbound remember i pointed him out he's the one who made the phase distorter in toby fox's version of the story we see that after gigas defeat the souls of the kids never return home instead by going to the past to defeat gigas they create a new timeline that they're stuck in as a result jeff never reunites with his father doctor and donuts and dr ann donuts goes crazy with guilt because he's the one responsible for creating the time machine and extracting the souls of his son and his son's friends to send them back what he assumes was their death in his mind he killed four kids and in toby fox's game he's lost his mind trying to deal with that guilt i'm telling you this hack is dark but that said you see a lot of undertale in this game the appearance of amalgamates the first use of the awesome song megalovania the prototypes for flowey and the theme of having the choice to be non-violent in an rpg sparing your enemies but then why's all this matter to the theory well remember in toby fox's version of the story the kids don't come back they're stuck in the past with no hopes of getting home just like sans and in the hack one character is oddly missing with no explanation as to why ness presumably in this timeline his soul is in a different place than his three friends which brings us back to undertale three faces with don't forget written on it it's ness trying to remember his three friends in short undertale is a continuation of toby's version of earthbound with ness never being able to get home adopting the name sans and accompanied by papyrus a former star man an alien force able to speak english and still equipped with his armor and signature posture but without any knowledge of earthly things like the sun the pieces all just seem to fit all we need is an appearance from pokey slash porky and we've got ourselves a true sequel but hey that's just a theory a game theory thanks for watching now go forth with that knowledge and try to tell me who gaster is don't worry i'll be looking too i have a few more undertale theories in the works as well as a deadlock and then there's goomba with another culture shock on the game so if you're into the franchise make sure you subscribe to get notified of those videos as they come out over the next few weeks and hey if you're interested in learning more about the earthbound halloween hack and its role as a precursor to undertale we're currently playing through it live our next session is wednesday at 4 o'clock p.m pacific time right here on this channel so check it out it's super creepy but also super fascinating to see the inner workings of toby fox's mind and if you want to catch up with what you've missed boom here's a link i think that this clip really sums it up best hell yes mexicans or if you want to learn more about my favorite game earthbound click right here it's an old theory i did about the true meaning of the game with an emphasis on old so go back and laugh at how bad my editing and voiceover was it's pretty funny to look back but honestly the message about the beauty of earthbound is just as relevant as ever hopefully by you guys watching this episode and maybe clicking over to watch that episode i can share with you my all-time favorite game and quite honestly one of the best games ever created but now if you'll excuse me i've gotta go track some human migratory patterns across southeastern asia so i'll see you guys next week you
