Spamton keeps referencing his "brands" when you talk to him in his shop. When you buy the bow tie from Swatch's shop, the description says that its tag is cut off, implying it was once a Spamton-brand bow tie.

[@aliceiscalling]

@@pengie-gw2lu It would be strange for Swatch to cut off his own brand's name tag, though. To me, it's more likely that the bow ties are left over product from when Spamton was still a [BIG SHOT], so they removed his name from the bow ties to distance themselves from his tarnished name.

B is for big.

[@badboyorange7079]

Fun fact: It’s almost directly implied that Spamton might be the way he is in part because of Queen having him thrown in the acid river. She mentions that the acid causes things to shrink, which could explain Spamton’s tiny size compared to other Addisons, and could also explain why he is obsessed with being BIG. Also, sweet, cap’n and kk say that spamton hired them to sneak into queen's mansion, and when you ask him why he doesn’t go, he says that the men inside would do something to him, referring to swatch and the swatchlings, who probably were the ones to throw him in the river. And finally, of course there’s the lines, I USED TO BE NOTHING BUT THE E-MAIL GUY, NOW I'M THE [[It Burns! Ow! Stop! Help Me!

7:44 Can I just point out how genius the entrance for Spamton's shop is? Every shop in Undertale and Deltarune have a little fade out and fade in effect as a transition from screen to screen, but Spamton's shop doesn't even has that, he just pops up out of nowhere on your screen with that creepy face and creepy, melancholic music after going through some creepily silent rooms with just the sound of the wind before entering it, it just makes the weirdness of Spamton even more apparent and just shows how Toby pays attention to the tiniest of details, what a genius!

[@JustButton]

Im glad they changed the flickering on the right side, is that part of an optional photosensitivity mode?

[@--CHARLIE--]

Makes even more sense considering he is essentially personified spam. Of course his shop would just suddenly appear like a pop-up.

[@rolettuce9654]

I think it's interesting that both Spamton and Jevil are largely forgotten by the world as a whole. Jevil was forgotten locked away in a dungeon, and Spamton apparently lost the massive amount of wealth he had accumulated in the blink of an eye. This could be an interesting parallel to Gaster, who had everything he stood for yanked away from him, and he was kept separated from everyone by being scattered across time and space.

[@IceFireofVoid]

Also the key phrase for Deltarune: “Don’t forget”

[@rolettuce9654]

@@IceFireofVoid Yeah, that's true! Hadn't even thought of that. All the don't forget themes, the secret bosses being discarded (the joker card and spam), and themes of fitting in really are important. All this really leads me to believe that the secret boss next chapter will be Asgore's flowers. I know it sounds crazy but think about it. They're discarded, being placed in a trashcan, and Toriel is moving on from their relationship (the opposite of don't forget). Also throw in the fact that Toby loves subtle references, the secret boss being a flower that only exists in that house because of Asgore and Toriel's relationship is a pretty spot on reference to Asriel, who turned into a flower and only existed because of Asgore and Toriel. TLDR: The next secret boss is a flower!

I'm just now realizing how unsettling it feels to walk out of a somewhat long, emotional, and creepy sidequest to then have one of the characters try to convince you that it didn't mean anything. the heck is wrong with you ralsei

[@brub1738]

Ralsei knows way more than he's letting on

[@OssyFlawol]

Counter Point - Taking people’s minds off of things is a way to help prevent a panic attack, and Kris was clearly distressed. I don’t understand why people interpret Ralsei’s dialogue as being one of bad nature, especially when his dialogue portraits show him clearly concerned and worried. Ralsei does know a lot - but dumping everything at once is rude, so he doesn’t.

[@Meow-vi9jb]

I agree with reply above. Ralsei knows more than he lets on, but i dont think its malicious. He's clearly concerned and trying to help.

[@OssyFlawol]

​@@Meow-vi9jb Exactly my point - seeing Ralsei as evil is a shallow interpretation of his character. He's someone who doesn't even understand himself (the whole boat scene where he doesn't know "how it's like to be Ralsei") and while he knows a lot, it would've been a mass influx of information to unload *everything ever* about the prophecy onto Kris and Ralsei. Why didn't Ralsei mention the roaring in Chapter 1? He didn't need to, he only needed to say it in Chapter 2 to discourage Berdly from making another Fountain. Ralsei is literally neurodivergent-coded in his character, and yet people interpreted all his flaws as something of a villainous character.

Ive heard it said that kris yelling could be because they are scared what will happen to them after seeing spamton collapse without his strings. I think kris might've related more to spamton than any other character snd so when spamton achieved the goal that they also had and collapsed because of it, it was terrifying to them

[@ms.porter4385]

I have my own theory that Gaster himself could be the one pulling the strings behind everything that happens in Deltarune. The reason why Jevil and Spamton are both insane could be because of Gaster, perhaps resulting in them becoming followers? The fact that both characters strongly believe in becoming godlike and gaining infinite knowledge makes it seem that Gaster, who is known for being everywhere and nowhere at the same time, possibly tricked them for his own nefarious reasons. Maybe the reason why Kris is so distraught after the Spamton fight is because they realize that they’re going down the same path?

Maybe he saw the computers and they had the default Windows background picture, with green plains and open skies? I dunno but seems far-fetched. The Shadow Crystal doesn't have anything to do with his obsession with heaven I think.

[@kevinm5940]

Strangely, Spamton seems to realize that he's part of a video game (or some sort of pre-written narrative, at least) at the end of chapter 2's Snowgrave route. He even seemingly gets mad that he was only supposed to be a secret boss. It reminds me of the part in Inscryption where an NPC complains that he didn't get to be a Boss Fight. Combined with Ralsei being worried when you don't check on Susie like you're 'supposed' to, it does imply that some in-game character is specifically setting up the story to go the way it does, and that the Snowgrave route is messing that up.

The fascinating thing about Deltarune is that most of the characters from Undertale don't seem as happy or fulfilled in Deltarune, like they know they don't feel like their best selves. Meanwhile, there are characters in Undertale that were swept under the rug or unhappy. But in Deltarune, their dreams come true and they become their best selves. Deltarune is Undertale flipped on its head and more.

In the console versions of Chapter 2, you can still do the F1 trick during the fight with regular Spamton, even though you can't press the F1 key on console. Instead you need to press R3 (i.e., push down on the right control stick), which will summon the little Spamton angel and heal Kris just like on the PC version.

[@allykat0047]

Something I found a bit unsettling is if you remove the sound file for Spamtons shop, the phone never does the ringing animation. I can't really confirm this i saw a video of it if i find it i'll give the link. There's just something terrifying about the shop being completely silent and the phone never ringing. I've also had this theory that considering the next chapter is supposedly tv theme, we'll be able to fight Mew Mew, and considering she can apparently control people to help them with their problems it would be a cool mechanic if Ralsie or Susie were to be enemies for a bit of time, similar to Berdlys fight with Queen EDIT: To add to the theory. Most people are focusing more on "Mike" because Jevil mentioned Queen in chapter one. However, it's also possible that Jevil and Spamton foreshadow the secret bosses of the next game as well. Considering that "The Circus" uses the same leitmotif as "Dialtone", I theorize that the next secret boss is foreshadowed by a character's theme rather than being mentioned directly. So the fact that the "Dummy!" motif is in Spamtons theme, It's possible that the secret boss might be related to one of the ghosts TL;DR Secret bosses might foreshadow each other by leitmotifs in their side songs EDIT 2: (God, I'm talking so much) So i have a few more details. So far both secret bosses have similar characteristics, Both are like 30 pixels tall excluding their hat or hair, both are discarded things (Joker cards are hardly used in card games, and spam emails are often deleted, hence him living in the trash), and their names are puns. This comment is just me theorizing out loud at this point lmao

Also, additionally: You can speak with the black walls in the room in the basement in wich the NEO body is. The black spaces there.

[@austinbobo1344]

Jevil dies in the first dark world if you don't fight him and win via fighting as in that he states "Take me and do your strongest" similarly spamton states the same if you spare him. I am doing a run in which I do this to have all secret bosses survive. Also I beat jevil by fighting on my first try... somehow.

there's a theory i've seen going around that jevil is a mandatory boss, only choice you have is when to fight him. with all the talk of the carnival, that's sure to be a dark world, and what is jevil? a trickster, the "clown around town".

[@customarymagic]

"It pulls the strings and makes them ring" has a sort of double meaning. Spamton pulls the strings attached to him and makes them ring, but another interpretation is "it (Mike) pulls the strings and makes them (the phones) ring." Implying that someone figuratively used their influence to make Spamton into a big shot

[@theladiescallmesona]

He says "Until you and your heart BREAK up!" Afterwards. So its talking about the player.

[@--CHARLIE--]

The caller isn't necessarily Mike. It could also be Gaster, given the noises the phone makes as well as Gaster being repeatedly associated with phones in Undertale. Or both called at different points. In that last one, the 'it' referred to would be gaster though probably, since he was seemingly also responsible for what happened with Jevil, or so we all thought back then iirc.

[@verity_amo]

From the way I understand things, I'm like 90% certain that Spamton was contacted by Mike first, who proceeded to help him and them probably end up scamming him which screwed him over big time. Afterwards he was contacted by Gaster who told him about the machine in the basement, and probably how it would lead him to "heaven". If it had JUST been Gaster who he had called, it wouldn't make sense for them to be speaking again after he allegedly "disappeared". I think it's implied he met the Knight at some point as well? I'm not quite sure about that though

[@Joseph-hr8hc]

[@1Alchemist]

it would make sense for mike to be the first to contact spamton :O and if we assume mike is the tv in the dreemurr home, him disappearing would probably coincide with when the dreemurr's stopped using the tv, for reasons we can only speculate on so far, since in ch 1 and 2 the narration points out that the tv hasn't been used in a long time

[@IceFireofVoid]

I wonder if over time the player’s relationship with Kris will change depending on how much our choices align with the choices Kris would have made. Like eating the moss and picking the most Kris-like dialogue options. Maybe then we eventually get along with Kris as the story progresses. But picking choices that go most against Kris, like with things like the Snowgrave route, maybe Kris turns on the player then.

[@Jxnxor]

It could perhaps affect the ending only but I wouldn't know

[@bunbunmarzie]

I don't think Kris would ever not be against the player. I mean we're controlling him and making him do things that he'd rather do himself.

[@milquetoast3233]

This isn’t particularly noteworthy or anything, but after Spamton is spared and his wires are cut, he’s hanging by the vines on the wall. The strings on his neo outfit were green, just like the vines. To me, that says that he regained those strings, that maybe he needs that kind of support to survive, or that maybe he’s incapable of doing anything on his own? Make of it what you will

Makes sense, because he seemingly just dies when leaving the vines. And despite saying that he is going home when the inventory is full(while in itemform), he only managed to get to the chest very close by before not being able to continue.

Thats why that YTP had this music. In addition, keygen music is now sometimes used as a name to the genre fo songs that used to play in keyGens

The thing that I wonder about Spamton is whether there is significance to whether he uses [One Bracket] vs [[Two Brackets]].

[@thebossyelephant9986]

Didn’t Jevil say “the true power of NEO” or something like that in his voice lines? I remember reading that on his fandom wiki. Also I believe that NEO IS actually very powerful in defense, the player was just more powerful as they gained more LOVE. We were able to kill everyone else (sans and Chara “killing” the player) in one hit after all.

5:27 Interesting idea, I don't believe anyone has suggested "sound" yet. Especially since it lowers the defense of the balls of yarn, the whip itself (physical), the little bolts of lightning, the "flying heads," basically all the bullets that come from Spamton Neo (both routes, including Funny Cheats damage), Tasque, and Tasque Manager.

The first time you leave the duck in the acid river (when that giant hand is blocking the way), you can check the duck, and it says "Looks like a certain bird is having a ride on the acid river". I think it is a callback to what Queen says it would happen if Noelle didn't join her, when we arrive at the palace. Maybe it's not that meaningful, but I think it means she wasn't going to do anything with Berdly, and THAT was what she was talking about. (Sorry for the bad english)

I don't see this mentioned very often, and I don't recall if this has been covered before in this channel, but in the underground area the low drone that plays as music is actually Your Best Nightmare's intro, played in what seems to be cello or some kind of stringed instrument.

19:24 I tried looking up if "cungadero" is some obscure slang I hadn't heard of, but the only uses of the word I could find before Chapter 2's release were a single random tweet, and a bunch of social media accounts that changed their name to a Deltarune quote afterwards (which is still included in the search because the page itself was made earlier).

[@AlchemizedGold]

Kinda creepy

[@snowflake_18]

It's a variation of a Spanish swear word for "thing," or ''piece of s-" Edit: When Spamton says, Holy [CUNGADERO], he basically means Holy Sh*t 😂 It's also very rarely used to describe an old car, which would make sense in Spamton's case.

I feel like they did, and thats why he is. Especially since, so I've heard, some chapter 2 characters recognize the jevil items. Also, the devilsknife, which jevil implies he physically turns into when he gives it to you, doesn't get turned to stone in your inventory, even though Lancer does in snowgrave. I don't know for sure though. I only heard this somewhere else. Edit: forgot to mention, Soamton mentions a "clown around town" comparing what he'll become ad Spamton NEO to them.

I just discovered a dialogue glitch in Deltarune Chapter 2. So after you enter the Dark World (the normal one not the Cyber World) , when I was talking to Susie , at the end of the dialogue, when it said "KRIS HURRY UP" , there was this weird thing that happened with Ralsei. He said, "Fine , I'll guess we'll try to not let you die of lonliness". The same line when Susie was talking to Ralsei. Ralsei had his delfault face ( the one where he had a straight expression and looking a quite serious ) , it is a weird dialogue glitch and I was freaked out by it too. NOTE: THIS WAS AFTER I HUGGED THE RALSEI DUMMY AND I WENT BACK FOR SOME EXTRA DIALOGUE I just wanted to share the strange glitch story with you guys!

You missed one tiny insignificant but really funny piece of dialogue, which is once you beat Spamton and go back to the trash zone, when you talk to Trashy, his dialogue changes to "There were a group of guys looking for you to the west. They were muttering something about muttering something about deals" It's just really funny to me for some reason

Characters like these put the ending theme "Don't forget" in a much darker light. Someone said that Jevil and Spamton are basically this world's Gaster. Had everything at one point in time and had it all taken seemingly instantly. And now, they're bonus characters that you have to dig for information on. In other words, forgotten by the main world in whole. I keep hearing that people are saying those lyrics were probably referencing Ralsei watching over Kris, but what if it's not? What if it's those forgotten characters watching Kris, not wanting to be forgotten anymore? That puts a whole new slew of theories in this game

[@Entili8136]

Hi, I think I have a good question. I have been wondering for a while how some characters in deltarune are aware of others, like for example: Jevil mentions Queen in his fight, but they are kinda in different dark worlds. My conclusion is that earlier they lived in the same dark world, but now my question is what happened that the orginal dark world shattered into smaller ones.

[@PajamaCat4]

I think the original Dark World is completely separate from the other ones. The original is based on the closet, and Chapter 1's Dark World is based on the classroom next door, explaining why they are connected. The Cyber World is all the way at the computer lab in the library, explaining why it can't be directly travelled to from a room inside the school.

[@lpfan4491]

This entire thing seems super fishy in a way. The known timeline of events in comparison to the order that is stated in the game simply doesn't match up. We are led to believe that the areas are created when the fountains are, but Jevil is implied to have been in Cyber City after Spamton's fall from grace(Because Spamton wouldn't otherwise see him as a comparisonpoint) and he would have had to visit the city before the Knight even met King due to the details given on his imprisonment.

[@Jxnxor]

The reason why Jevil knew about the Queen is probably the reason King and Queen know about each other. I guess HOW it happened was i guess that that Laptop(I'm just assuming the Laptop is Queen) was perhaps at some point placed in the shelf in the unused classroom. And u know King AND Jevil would be there which would be perhaps why they know Queen. It's because she was there before

[@rottenbutterfly111]

@@PajamaCat4 other than the reality related things, both spam and jevil know actually too much about light world, and even also the game system, spam mentions the heart/soul that only a human like kris has(could be bc he met knight before who was also human??) , and jevil mentions HP, and they have the shadow crystals that show how their world is connected to light world with certain places like school or library. Other than king and queen being on control and having the memory about each other, maybe those two were specifically introduced to some info more than their own reality, which lead jevil to go chaos and spam trying to reach all of it while calling it heaven and power.

Btw, deltarune has been mirroring Undertale, but kinda backwards, with chapter one resembling new home, and chapter 2 resembling core.

[@autumnsundaythepie]

Very late, but the song 'Unreal Superhero 3' Is part of a video where 1 character continuously dies, gets brought back in a recovery centre, then dies again by falling off a cliff, never stopping. Spamton can relate, because if he dies as spamton neo, he'll just go back to spamton. And his hope to keep on living as a real boy ends up in him being in a cycle of hope then ruins.

I'm not so sure about this, or if anyone else has already said it, but Spamtom NEO's beta attacks got long hands. that would give more meaning to the dialogue where Susie says "Are we really not going to talk about that? That was god damn weird, Puppets... strings... Hands..."

There is also JoJo reference where Spamton mentions talks to Kris that they will together "Look into Heaven" which I think is an reference to Dio and Pucci part 6 where they talk about looking into Heaven to make their stands more powerful.

30:28 there is some dialog change after that, which is something about trying to make Susie hug Kris I think? It goes something like (What why me, hug Ralsei You don't really gave hug much so it's more valuable hell no I'm not hugging anyone)

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

I start to think that Undertale is a game Asriel makes in Deltarune. And since it's an indie game he takes characters from his hometown to add them to their game. That's how the 2 games are connected to eachother.
