Battle Against A True Hero + Power Of NEO - UNDERTALE 5th Anniversary Concert

[@Regina-ys4ct]

For me, this is the best version of Battle against a True Hero, with the main theme feeling determined, but the trumpets sounding so dower, almost like at this part of the song Undyne is losing.

[@FunniMillie]

And at 2:40 suddenly Mettaton in his NEO form enters to assist Undyne only to be destroyed 30-40 seconds later with a sudden stop of the music

[@SubmitToTheBiomass]

I think you meant *dour*, unless you were trying to say that the trumpets sound like a widow's share of her husband's estate.

[@rafamoreno2084]

I have a theory that came to my mind now that I am listening to Battle Against a True Hero and the Power of NEO together: Alphy's tribute to Undyne was to put a similar melody to her's in the Mettaton's genocide battle

[@2_OP]

Yeah, she just did that instead of evacuating. Also, it's implied that MTT NEO was his first form. So, sorry, but no.

[@trivia_dex]

@@2_OP but mettaton lied about that, didn't he? There's lots of hints that imply that his first forms were both MTT box and MTT EX, and his NEO body has never been planned from the beginning (or at least they have never planned it *thoroughly*) In Genocide route Alphys just had to think of something fast to stop the human so she just rebuilt Mettaton's EX body(sacrificing his defense) for him to be more intimidating to scare the human and prevent them from going forward. I even think that MTT suggested that to her himself. He knew that he was going to die, so he at least wanted to try and be heroic about it

[@uncreativename2190]

The box form is MTT's original form, with MTT NEO being the second form. In Neutral/Pacifist, Alphys tones down MTT NEO because she doesnt want mettaton to hurt you. Ex form was created to replace the NEO form because NEO was too dangerous.

[@GamingwithPortals]

@@trivia_dex Wasn’t Mettaton Neo made to impress Asgore so she could be royal scientist

[@JdjsjHfjs]

Love how when Power of Neo kicks in, it's like a desperation attempt. It's basically like a sudden boost of adrenaline to push your team into pulling off the "impossible" comeback. That's what Undyne and Mettaton basically did, a desperation attempt to at least halt your movements.

[@MajorForcekin]

1:12 has gotta be my favorite part with the lower brass coming out on top

[@shiromi1]

same, it goes hard af

[@basicallyourandomyoutuber]

this is literal fire I listen to this everyday when studying

[@procgne]

1:39 is my favorite part

[@QwertyPt0]

Imagine: You killed Undyne in one hit, you're already turning around to leave, and you hear 0:00. Goosebumps from surprise, the body froze. And after 5 seconds, a spear flies at you, and the cave is illuminated by the light from the eye of the Undying Undyne.

[@Amitlu]

Still hoping for a full NEO theme one of these days

[@WoofWoofWhisper]

Same man like holy shit it's a super underrate theme

[@yourcollegedebt8384]

In a way, we kinda sorta got that recently. With Deltarune Chapter 2's BIG SHOT against Spamton NEO.

[@HawksDellas]

Well you just got your wish

congrats?

[@EpicTempo]

YES, the transition between these two is like one of my favourite things in this concert.

[@micahdubsVO]

I can feel the wind rushing as I listen to True Hero. Listen to the bass: while the strings are flying, they be GROOVIN.' Then NEO comes and it's the ultimate head banger, all in quick buildup to...

At 2:40 starts Power Of NEO part

[@TheIncipiensOfficial]

This part hits harder than Saitama, im having 1000 goosebumps per second.

[@helio-r4u]

Ngl when Power of NEO starts up, it sounds so much like an attempt to save Undyne and to become the sacrifice. Like the tribute passed from Alphys like a torch. Such beauty.

[@codrin6772]

This is the best song from the anniversary orchestra

[@pennyisdreadful]

this one hurt. this one and that poor spider. we all should have lost to undyne. she is the hero of the underground, we're just monsters.

[@mayhulk7514]

Without resets we would have lost

[@kratkartan1486]

I love this version of "Battle Against a True Hero", It makes her battle feel epic but desperate at the same time. She's not afraid of Chara, but her fear is for the rest of the world. She knows she's on a time limit after she reformed, and is desperate to take Chara down before it expires so that the world would be safe. She tried so hard, but it was all for not. Chara has the power to rewind time to a point before death and they learned her attacks. In the end Chara exploited her desperation and tuckered her out then finished her off. Mettaton NEO's fight was just down right one sided. He made a major miscalculation that caused him to throw away his own life for nothing.. His NEO body was too flimsy after Alphys had started his downgrades, and he also didn't realize his weapon was non-functional. As His box body was unchanged and far sturdier, he should have just stayed in that form as it offered him the most protection.

[@somethingAccurate]

The entire point is that he's trying to slow you down instead of attacking you. - even WITH the lack of knowledge of his low defence, he doesn't attack you. Only tries to give everyone the time they need to evacuate, as well as an absolutely glamourous final show. He knows that in the box form you likely still would have been able to kill him, and turns into NEO in order to at least die in his preferred form.

[@TNTMusic5757]

[@OlTimeyChara]

IT'S FRISK NOT CHARA

[@kratkartan1486]

@@OlTimeyChara it stopped being Frisk after the genocide run is started. After cutting down Toriel, Chara has been the one controlling Frisk's body to initiate the boss fights. The only fights Chara didnt initiate are Toriel, and Sans' fights.

[@notflowey1225]

@@kratkartan1486 Actually no, it's Frisk themself that's committing genocide not Chara. Chara just appears at the end because of the amount of monsters Frisk had killed resurrected them from their death so Chara didn't possess Frisk. And even if Chara did possess Frisk they wouldn't have killed all the monsters because Chara hates humans and loves monsters.

[@Robot_GEANT]

Holy schnitzel, this thing is incredible

[@blackosprey2219]

This one really grew on me thanks to this arrangement. It definitely works beter fully orchestrated.

[@CheesyLizzy]

Thanks so much for putting the concert songs together in a playlist, now I can finally shuffle them 😄

Yes.I tried making a fangame once where you would fight Monika from DDLC and maybe the other characters. But since I am no sprite artist and no music creator I abandoned the project. Nobody would have played it anyways

This video loops really well, it's great!

[@abdallahatia7209]

I hear 1:13 and I know I too would stand on the frontlines to momentarily, if in vain, push back oblivion to give a chance for those I love to flee.
