🎜 Sam Beddoes - Happy Fun Candy Time 🎜

Now for some context and to catch you all up just in case. Jevil, the court jester of Card Castle and best of Seam the magician, worked together, spreading joy to the residents of their Dark World. One day, he met with a strange person, one might say a MYSTERY MAN, and he was driven to insanity. Due to his violent tendencies and crazed ramblings, King had ordered Seam to seal Jevil away. Now Jevil resides in a hidden floor of the Card Castle, alone. After opening his cage, he desires nothing more than to cause chaos and play a "numbers game," aka battle against the three heroes. This is all the necessary info for this theory, as this shows that needless violence drives away any potential you have and any people you may have been able to or already have cared about. Why is this important? It's important because this is exactly how Susie had been acting up until this point in the chapter, showing unnecessary violence to every Darkner she had been meeting, driving potential bonds away. She even had almost killed her best Darkner friend that she made there due to her actions, and Jevil shows that if she hadn't grown past this behavior, she was going to end up alone and insane. Jevil shows the worst ending for Susie. Next, Spamton G. Spamton, a former Cyber World [BIG SHOT] turned dumpster diving scammer, constantly obsessing over changing his life, chasing the high of being the best again, and potentially, even better than the best. His old benefactor has abandoned him, and now he is nothing. Remember this. Anyway, he manipulates Kris into transferring his consciousness into the NEO body in the basement of Queen's Mansion, and even though Spamton has far past the best of his world, he isn't the best. He's still chained to the limitations of his world, his strings becoming even more prevalent with his NEO strength. He is powerless to break free of the limits of the game, and he is NOT pleased with how far he's come. After the Fun Gang defeats him in battle, he ends up back to where he was when Kris met him, nothing more than another spam email that nobody wants. In the Weird Route, Spamton abuses the fact that Kris and Noelle are destroying his world and freezing the other Darkners solid. He uses the distraction to sneak into Queen's Basement and steal the NEO body himself, not stopping once to consider helping anyone else. He ends up battling Kris at the end of the Chapter, and unfortunately, even with his power, the plot and limitations of the game end with him losing the fight and dying off (as evidenced by him not appearing during the Tenna Pipis cutscene on the Weird Route, even with the Puppetscarf). Spamton's horrible end shows a potential future for Kris that is more than the worst. With Kris having to follow orders from the Knight, much like Spamton and the voice on the phone, as well as their every move being controlled by the player while they are in Kris' body, Kris might have to accept that their autonomy will be thrown into the dumpster, just like Spamton. Spamton shows the worst ending for Kris.

Returning from Undertale, just like Gerson, Pink comes in with her Cutie Mew Mew Magic to destroy the forces of evil. Pink is actually two separate people, her body being a Darkner, and that body being controlled by a Ghost Lightner (most likely the Mad Dummy/Mad Mew Mew ghost). Her entire battle is about the Ghost Lightner trying to fight the wants of the Darkner body, removing its autonomy just for their gain. By the end of the fight, she does end up learning to accept both her wants and the body’s wants, ultimately leading to them both being much happier in the process. If you didn’t pick up on what this implies, it shows the potential dynamic that can happen between Kris and the Player, where although the Player controls Kris’ body, they can still make decisions that line up with what Kris wants and allow them to make their own decisions as well. Practically every Deltarune player and Kris want this kind of relationship with each other, so Pink is the catalyst for them both to think, “Oh dang, this might actually be possible!” Pink is Kris’ best possible perspective.

This acceptance has been built up for so long that Ralsei not getting this final climactic moment to grow like the others would just feel disrespectful to the character. Both Gerson and Pink teach a lesson that has already been building up throughout the story (Susie becoming better without losing herself and Kris and the Player balancing each other's needs), so Ralsei should get the same treatment with his already developing character development as well. I am not Toby Fox however, so I can’t possibly know what might happen next, and I could just be dead wrong, but this is what I think. Basically, there will be a Secret Boss in Chapter 6 that will teach Ralsei work-life balance. Feel free to point out any mistakes or additions to this theory!! Thanks for reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
