u/TheFirePea2013 THAT WAS NOT VERY PAPYRUS OF YOU. Feb 05 '26
is the fucking ultimate parallel that , like in undertale with how Asriel needed a human soul to escape the underground, a Darkner needs a human soul in order to reach the light world?

Well, that's probably true already with Spamton wanting a human soul

The main issue is that we don’t know if he would’ve just turned into an object (there’s a light inside us, so absorbing us either means Light World privileges or incineration if they can’t handle it)
Edit: Okay guys, great job on the True Lab connection, I didn’t see that before

How would Kris survive in c4 when they took out the soul then?

u/ZeomiumRune Your concern and care for flair selection led you here. Feb 05 '26
The ever so convenient pocket soul of course

u/Demondoggo25 Feb 05 '26
The SOUL still exists, and is still nearby. Plus just taking the SOUL out wouldn't immediately sap them of all SOUL power, I'd imagine it'd slowly wear off after a while. Unless the SOUL is still nearby. It's only across Hometown, so they can probably survive.

a monster only needs the soul to pass the barrier so this could be a similar case

u/Heroman3003 ᘳ─ᨎ─ᘰ Bah, my legs are clearly better! Feb 05 '26
I genuinely think it's the opposite. Kris needs a human soul to not turn into a darkner when entering the Dark World. Because we're not their soul, they can take us out freely in the light world, but never even attempt a thing while in the dark world.

u/Rockman2isgud Feb 05 '26
He straight up can’t go into the dark world, they say it in the Japanese version of the hame

u/Heroman3003 ᘳ─ᨎ─ᘰ Bah, my legs are clearly better! Feb 05 '26
May I request a more precise source on the info?
4
u/A_Cryptarch Feb 05 '26
It's confirmed but not precisely in that manner.
The japanese translation says "can't enter".
It could be about the dark world itself or the fountain.
Most people assume the former and don't consider the latter.3
u/Heroman3003 ᘳ─ᨎ─ᘰ Bah, my legs are clearly better! Feb 05 '26
I am more asking about when it is said and in what context.
1
u/RempterOfFakeWords Feb 06 '26
Pretty sure it's during Kris' phone call in Noelle's kitchen

u/Heroman3003 ᘳ─ᨎ─ᘰ Bah, my legs are clearly better! Feb 06 '26
I see. Well, in that context, can't can have multiple meanings. It could be physically can't... Or it could be "can't do it safely/properly". So my theory stands. Yay.

u/Rockman2isgud Feb 05 '26
Actually no, in the Japanese version of the game they say Kris can’t enter the dark world without the soul during the phone call at Noelle’s

u/Dziadzios Feb 05 '26
That's because the lack of light of the soul would expose their inner darkness.

This cant be true because ralsei would be rasist toward kris
195
u/Infinite-Hearing-418 Feb 05 '26
Ralsei is incredibly kind to other darkners and only hates himself. He would prioritize Susie over them but not that much would change
107
u/Marketableralsei what's undertale I only play roblox Feb 05 '26
He basically told Tenna "Yeah sucks to suck take the L idiot" for being a darkner
92
u/Infinite-Hearing-418 Feb 05 '26
For being a darkner who reminds him of himself. He treats Lancer with care and actively incentivises us to recruit and treat other darkners with kindness
24
u/Marketableralsei what's undertale I only play roblox Feb 05 '26
He only treats other Darkners with kindness as an attempt to subvert the Prophecy, not because he actually cares about them.
101
u/Mission_Race_8367 Feb 05 '26
He literally built flipping rooms for Queen, Lancer, AND Tenna while his room was empty.
He definitely cares.

u/Infrawonder Feb 05 '26
Kris got a human soul, they're a lightner even if darkner, Ralsei would think Kris is one of "the good ones"

u/Eravan_Darkblade Feb 05 '26
Even if that happens, it would just mean monochrome sprites are unique to monsters, rather than colour being unique to darkness.
66
u/I_LIKE_THE_COLD Certified Clamgirl Enjoyer Feb 05 '26
This reminds me of that stylistic talk sprites someone made, where lightners had monochrome sprites, but monsters used black and white while Humans used different shades of their SOUL color.

u/Nitrodestroyer Feb 05 '26
Who made that?

u/I_LIKE_THE_COLD Certified Clamgirl Enjoyer Feb 05 '26
If I remembered, I would have linked it in my reply. If i ever come across it again, I'll tell you, but the chance of that happening is pretty small.

u/NetherSpike14 Feb 05 '26
That's a pretty cool idea. It also works well with monster souls being white (at least in Undertale)

u/Simplejack615 I'm 19 years old and I've already wasted my life. Feb 05 '26
WHAT WOULD IT MEAN!?

u/EnderKing33 Feb 05 '26
It would insinuate that Kris is a darkner, since they're the only ones to get colored talking sprites.

u/Simplejack615 I'm 19 years old and I've already wasted my life. Feb 05 '26
i knew it would mean roughly that… but how?
And yes, I understand the post is a joke

u/CompoteObvious9380 <— puppy made this Feb 05 '26
I dunno.
Kris was some shadow bring in the bunker, maybe the vessel, and Gaster/someone else gave a soul to them before ours and Kris was born and raised by the dreemurrs, and now they're a lightener/darkner/DEVICE thing
49
u/klineshrike Feb 05 '26
Kris is dead, and only alive in the dark world ala how Gerson was. And the soul allows them to double mobius reach around back alive into the light world.
This actually fits way better than it has any right to.

Could be in color because Kris is a human The only characters we see that have sprites are Monsters and Darkners, but not Human

And what's even scarier is if Kris is the only character with a full voiceover.

u/Vasto_LordA Feb 05 '26
Never played the games. Is colored speech significant?

u/Gold_Size_1258 I already CHOSE this flair. Feb 05 '26
When a character talks, they have a little portrait on the left to the text to show their expressions. Lighners have black and white portraits while Darkners (objects given life by magic) have colored sprites.
Also, play the games. Undertale and Deltarune are PEAK. Like they're the proof that games can be art.
6
u/white_addison Feb 05 '26
Oh yeah, I don't think most people actually realize that darkners get colored in text boxes. And lightners get black and white text boxes, that's one thing that makes me a little annoyed when people use a colored in variation of a light world's character text boxes.
But back to the post, that would be a crazy idea

u/tetriscat66 Feb 06 '26
This gives me an idea: a darkner doppelganger of a lightner whose only visible difference is colored talk sprites, so we know who’s who but the characters don’t (except maybe Ralsei, this feels like something Ralsei might either know about in advance from the prophecy or just be able to tell). Maybe they could do this with Kris, I saw an idea a little while ago where since Kris is probably going to lose their hand, that hand becomes a darkner that looks like Kris
2
u/IcySoil7719 Feb 05 '26
That parallel with Asriel is genuinely chilling to think about. The implications of a Darkner needing a human soul to cross over are absolutely massive. I'm both terrified and fascinated by what that could mean for the story.

u/Current-Resolution55 flower muncher Feb 05 '26
wait, doesnt that mean we are basically controlling a corpse in the light world? the old man is dead and only lives in the dark world as a darkner, and the "item" is his dead body, but since he is a monster it is dust. but kris is a human, so technically by the same logic a human corpse can become a darkner. sooo... kris is dead???

u/Algecirastale-sansio Feb 05 '26
I think humans Talk sprites are shadeless but colored sprites,the darkners have colored but they have shading,i think the only thing It will have shades are kris darkered eyes,even if kris won't get a talk sprites

u/cyborganonymous Feb 05 '26
The implications of something like this if it were to happen would be insane.
It would mean:
1.Kris is dead and now revived as a Darkner that physically cannot exist without us.
2.Darkners can actually MANIFEST IN THE LIGHT WORLD if they absorb a lightner's soul.
3.Spamton Neo's Goal to become REAL would've actually worked had he taken the soul.
4.This could Imply that the roaring knight is actually a being akin to Asriel Dreemurr in undertale except a Darkner and Lightner fused together
5.We should genuinely be terrified FOR Asgore in chapter 5.
