[@typicalbruh1510]

This sounds like a stretch and it probably is but hear out my thought process. Mike ->Mic -> Microphone -> (Radio) Tenna -> Antenna -> Old Box Tv -> (Video) And as sung by The Buggles, "Video Killed The Radio Star." It would explain why Spamton seems sad whenever he mentions Mike and also shows his disposition towards Tenna. And as seen by king and queen it is possible for darkners from other worlds to have some form of interaction. I might be crazy but dawg imagine.

[@ZaCloud-Animations___she-her]

Yeah, that's definitely a connection I've seen others make too, & I find quite likely. Good catch!

[@Gabriel-lh7gy]

I don't think by that logic Tenna would have killed Mike, radios also use antennas so does wifi modems so I feel like if they are really connected like that it would be more fitting for Tenna to be an agent or a talent hunter

[@typicalbruh1510]

​@@Gabriel-lh7gy While this could be true, I am mainly Going Off of the Spamton Sweepstakes/Deltarune Website secret url d_a_m_n_y_o_u_t_e_n_n_a that has an Image of a TV with a red X on it and Spamton Rambling about how they will pay and how everything is their fault. And on top of that, In the Q&A someone asked about who mike was and in response Spamton asks if they are one of that [Cathode]'s Crew and refuses to give any information. And I believe by Cathode he is refering to CRT(Cathode-Ray-Tube) Displays that can be used on Tv's. Oh and my guess is that since Mike and Tenna are always being differentiated that Tenna Should be a TV given all of the previous Information. Sorry if this is all over the place lol.

[@ferociousfeind8538]

was just about to comment "it's likely that Mike is a microphone of some sort, and Tenna is absolutely an antenna of sorts, and based on the theming, probably a TV antenna", but I certainly didn't make the connection to video and radio! That sure is something!!

2 things I wanna add to this... 1. Toby saying to please look at the cup... Why the connection to the church? It seems to be a close equivalent of the catholic church... They don't do cups... But fast food restaurants and Cafés do... I'd think that hintsbat Ice-E more than the church. 2. Many people wonder about the villain in chapter 3 not fitting the chess theme. From king to queen then rook and so on. In some countries like Germany, the rook is referred to as "Tower" perhaps like a broadcasting tower... With... Antennas?

[@LadieGiraffe]

Reference chess theory

[@cheesesticks0]

I have a theory for chapter 3 of Deltarune If toriel joins our party she might not want to listen to Kris as the leader unlike Susie and Noelle and she will instead take up the leader role and the game could give you the option to listen or not and the weird route in chapter 3 could be based on how often you listen to toriel

[@HarryButHarry]

An NPC being the leader of the party is such an interesting idea. I'd honestly be surprised if Toby DIDN'T explore this idea because it plays into the themes of control and freedom in Deltarune perfectly.

[@cheesesticks0]

@@HarryButHarry ikrr!!!!!!

[@Unlimit-729]

I hope weird route in chapter 3 wont include... Fight with susie or toriel, or someone else. Because, then there will be chance that Toriel or Susie wont wake up in Chapter 4.

[@Kyumifun]

​@@HarryButHarry And it parrallels Toriel's part of the story in Undertale where Frisk freed themself from her control by disobeying her.

[@ferociousfeind8538]

I have doubts that the weird route will "make a return" for chapter 3, as it was very strongly associated with Noelle, which, from the sweepstakes and some in-game dialogue, we know loved/hated finding weird things in games, but definitely did find "weird" things in them (or, rather, weird things found her). The weird route was possible due to Noelle's presence, and Kris was just the avenue through which the weird route found Noelle. Mark my words, nerds. If Noelle doesn't show up as a character in the dark world in chapter 3, there will be no "weird" route. Although, I suspect there still will be some minor impact you-the-player can make by making different choices, just not anywhere near the extent that chapter 2 had with its "weird" route. If Toriel shows up, I can imagine her perhaps initially taking charge- she's Kris's mother, after all- but after some scary shenanigans and seeing how unfazed Kris is, will probably relinquish control after a couple of scenes. Then she'll most likely become an NPC that moves the story forward, rather than a party member for any appreciable amount of time.

[@jackdelia2939]

Even though Susie’s waking up sprite fits so well in the Green Room, I think the dark world will start with the monster movie. It was a 12 hour marathon when Susie first turned on the TV, and that was the last channel on the TV before everyone went to sleep.

[@superluigi6423]

9:38 I think it makes sense with that argument that the character of "Tenna" would be the secret boss because no one uses Antenna for their tv anymore and also we know that the secret boss talks about the main villain of the next chapter (Jevil talks about the queen) and so Spamton talking about Mike means that mike is probably the main villain of chapter 3 and Tenna the secret boss

[@ZaCloud-Animations___she-her]

It could go either way. That's what makes this such a fun mystery. 😁

[@sarafontanini7051]

well of course, jevil alreayds et a precedent of the bonus bosses setting up foreshadowing for the chapter's big bad, the question is whether its Mike, who seems important to spamton and may or may not have betrayed him depending on theories, or Tenna, who spamton clearly hates and associates the most with TV (thus lending credence that they're the big bad of the chapter). Personally I feel given the tv association being stronger with Tenna via SPamton, Tenna will be the big bad and Mike will instead be the secret boss, mirroring his presumed friend Spamton.

[@godslaughter]

The Shadow Guys are likely related to the mafia and jazz, while Elnina and Lanino's names are based on the La Nina and El Nino atmospheric oscillations. It's ironic because El Nino brings wetter weather conditions to the southern US, while La Nina brings warmer and drier conditions, contradictory to the "make it rain" statement. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a jazz cafe for the Shadow Guys. I have no idea why their socks are being knocked off but I'm sure it'll become clear later. ALSO, I think Napstablook is the more likely option because Toby seems to be focusing more on characters who haven't had a lot of screen time and development in Undertale, but who knows. I'd love more interactions with Undyne, however, her character was much more fun to me when she was a knight.

[@demonchromee9217]

the phꝛase "knock youꝛ socks off" is an idiom that means to amaɀe oꝛ impꝛess someone. it's basically a woꝛdless pun.

Still going with the idea of Mike TV (a character from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and Anne Tenna, who will be related to him. Possible a mother or daughter. Also since few of the new chars seem to defy classic gender def I don't think we can guess the gender of any char. The weather people could both be female.

[@DeerBonesBaby]

You have a point! They're obviously plays on the weather phenomenons of La Niña and El Niño, which are Spanish for girl and boy respectively. HOWEVER, Toby swapped the definite articles, using the male article for Niña (a feminine word) and the female article for Niño (masculine). So I think you're onto something with their genders being hard to guess!

[@Bossfanboy]

Spamton calls Tenna a "he", so I doubt he's called Anne. Even though it's a very cool theory.

[@nickfarace9339]

I started considering this world where Mike is actually the cancelled Cowboy show character. Would make sense, considering some Spamton quotes from the sweepstakes seem to imply that Tenna did something to wrong him. I would think cancelling his show would be a reason Tenna would wrong Mike right?

[@Alessia0217]

Actually, I think the secret might be a (probably female) fish chef from some cancelled educational cartoon that Asriel and Kris used to watch as Kids, and I have a reason to believe that: in chapter 1, when you talk to Catti's dad a second time he says he hopes that Asriel will remember hometown after he becomes a "Big shot", and chapter 2' secret boss, Spamton, is heavily related to this expression to the point it's his theme's name; Then, when you do the same thing in chapter 2 he says one of his favorite meals is the fish with bones that seems from a cartoon which, given the TV theme of the next dark world, is very on the nose (plus Toriel loves cooking, so her trying to convince her kids to like it through a cartoon is possible). Not only that, but the bones could be a reference to the undead, which could be connected to Undyne the Undying or the Amalgamates (which would also confirm the theory that says that the secret bosses are connected to the Genocide/one-route exclusive bosses of Undertale, like Sans and MTT neo to Jevil and Spamton) and reference the idea of a "show's revival (that Is like being brought back to "Life")", which would the boss' main goal.

[@Bossfanboy]

@@Alessia0217 HOLY SHIT, HOW DID NOBODY NOTICE THIS???? That being said, it's infinitly more likely that Asriel's game will end up being connected to the next secret boss, as it was forgotten and and abandoned, never being able to see the light of day. It literally doesn't make sense if DOESN'T tie in, because it's in the same circumstances as Spamton and Jevil.

[@Bossfanboy]

@@Alessia0217 Also, Jevil has very weak ties to Sans, as he uses tge red soul. Instead, what if he's a parallel to Flowey?

[@Alessia0217]

@@Bossfanboy First, i noticed that about catti's dad because someone mentioned that his chapter's 1 dialogue was a reference to Spamton and being curious about what he said about chapter 2 (and also because i thought that,since the main bosses are somewhat foreshadowed by the secret bosses, it was very likely that the secret bosses were also foreshadowed in some way, and the best way would've been in plain sight in a place no one would search for). As for the unfinished game being the secret boss, i highly doubt that as it's clearly a reference to Undertale and I imagine they would reserve a secret boss Asriel-expy for one of the last chapters (though it's still possible, no one knows how Toby thinks), while I said that Jevil and Sans are connected because thats how many people in the community thinks and they are both somewhat demonic figures (a skeleton and an imp/devil jester) that don't care about the world anymore and are fought before a king (but the whole "my world is a fantasy so i'll see it as my playground" gimmick makes way more sense for flowey), plus he's the first boss and Toby always wanted to make sure official sources didn't reference Sans' fight, so it would explain the weaker connection.

A few predictions I have based on these: 1. I think the shadow guys's socks being removed is a reference to the phrase "Knock your socks off" Maybe at one point, a character is going to say something like "This performance will knock your socks off!" 2. This is a little more out there, but based on what we have, I think chapter 4 will have the Knight create a dark world in the church. There's what looks like the fruit juice cup as a darker, and the fact that chapter 4 will be "more standard" than chapter 3. The uniqueness of chapter 3 will likely be due to the fact that a new person is creating the dark fountain (Assuming Kris isn't the knight) Which would imply that a dark world more similar to chapter 1 and 2 would also have the same creator.

[@nickfarace9339]

While I doubt Chapter 3 is just 2 sections total, I can't help but feel like the doors in the Green Room lead to two separate channels basically. Like being the confirmed Weather and mostly confirmed Cooking sections. If the TV channels really do represent chapter sections, those two would match up with two doors. I could even see it being like, you chose which way to go and there is no set requirement on the order (making Chapter 3 very much not a standard chapter btw). But the whole somethings thing, I could also see the 0.5 being whatever section was supposed to have the sneaking part, being cut to half because the sneaking was removed. If that was the case, then there would be four sections and that section was just shorter. Of which I would think it would still be weather, cooking, whatever shadowguys and sneaking was, and then whatever the "final" place is. I can't decide if the Rouxls and Lancer text is part of the cooking channel, or them in the green room. There is both a vending machine and the serving plate between the TVs that could be referenced by them there. Since they are in Kris' pocket still, this likely would be where they went if the Green Room is where we start (which it makes a lot of sense to start there, since they are asleep on the couch and thus, wake up on the couches.) As for Chapter 4, I am on team Church. Too many hints toward it, and it just makes sense. But man, if Rudy DOES go and ends up being a dark world character in that chapter, I worry for him. Imagine a world where the "rudy dies" prediction comes true, and its a key point of the ending of Chapter 4. That could be our potential cliffhanger once they get released and we are waiting for Chapter 5. Let THAT sink in :(

[@arielgalles2107]

I wouldn't count on guessing which is Elnina and which is Lanino since the whole joke with the names is that the morphemes genders are the opposite of the article. Elnina means the (male) girl and Lanino is the (fem) boy.

My theory on the cowboy show is simply just that it's the penultimate area of chapter 3, and it being canceled is something that will happen WHILE we are in it, causing us to enter a sort of backstage that we couldn't get to because of Mike, but now that the show he put us in was canceled, most likely not of his own volition, he has essentially lost sight of us as we fall into the backstage and can finally finish this

[@Naguimar]

In my opinion I think the theme of the 3rd chapter will be of twos. Think about it, kris and susie, 2 kids, toriel and undyne, 2 adults, Mike and Tenna, 2 bosses, lanino and elnina, 2, the green room couch we saw was split into 2 colors on the left and right.

[@Meirdom]

Something I didnt really see people talk about is, well the secret boss from chapter 1 (Jevil) told us and therefore predicted the main villain of the next chapter (chapter 2), that of course being Queen. Now, why wouldn't chapter 2 follow the same logic? If it is following the same logic, the secret boss of chapter 2, spamton predicts Mike to be the main villain in chapter 3! As of Tenna, I think it's not that likely that she will be in a team with Mike. Maybe Tenna will be a former allay of Mike, and be a secret boss like Jevil and Spamton? Who knows.

[@duce.2805]

I HIGHLY doubt tenna is a secret boss, it makes no sense for toby to reveal the name of the secret boss before the next chapters release,also while spamton did mention mike first he also mentioned tenna in the spamton sweepstakes so the villain of chapter 3 really could be either one of them.

@@CR1MSONACE Hahaha, I know, I just didn't see people talk about it.

[@TMG_B]

The one thing that intruigues me about the recent Chapters are the secret bosses, we always ponder who could be next to appear. Some of them have a form of connection in a way, which is probably in a sort of abandonement, rejection, or perhaps a certain tragedy. Jevil has been locked away due to his sudden breakdown of his own reality being nothing but a plaything, meanwhile Spamton had relied on the phone calls he's been receiving by an unknown individual who first led him to success, but once those calls had stopped his fame had plummeted and left him alone. These Darkners reflect to their real life non-living counterparts in some form. Since the next Chapter will center around TV Media, alongside small additions in the Dreemur Household, what if the next boss will be connected to the various flowers Toriel throws away in the trash? She always objected Asgore's attempts at reconciliation as he sends her flowers and doesn't hesitate to throw them away. It is a form of rejection which is a type of tragedy, which is something the most recent bosses we've seen had dealt with. Though- I may be overthinking this.

The thing that surprised me the most was that he did not address the Spanish pun with Elnina and Lanino and managed to confuse "bambino" and "bimbo" as Spanish despite the fact that the words for "child" in that language were right there staring at him the whole time lmao

[@eugeniopomi3798]

"Bambino" is italian for "child", not spanish. "Bimbo" is a more offensive version the word (brat), again in Italian... Not Spanish

[@lucafelicemaresca]

bimbo is no offensive version, in Italian it's just another way of saying child

[@doomlord0773]

I would also like to remind you that toby doesn't subvert using bait and switch unless it makes sense, flowey's personality is a subversion because of his role in the story, and even then it's not a huge one. Undertale itself isn't actually that subversive, rather the concept of gameplay is diagetic and shenanigans ensue, if the game reacts to your choices like that it's not subversive but rather it's simply reacting to your choices. Toby does not subvert for the sake of subversion, so he definitely wouldn't go and use napstablook for chapter 3

I’d love to see a new mechanic included for Deltarune. A Party Member System where you can swap party members in or out of the party.

[@matthewcheung7888]

8:00 This can be either a reference to Undertale Yellow or Friend Inside Me. Knowing Toby, it's probably the latter. Though I like to imagine it is intentionally the first option. Also, cards on the table (intentional pun), we've seen the King card, the Queen, Jevil is the Joker card, we've seen hearts (Kris), spades (Lancer), clubs, and diamonds (Spartan). Perhaps we will see a secret villain based on the club?

[@Agnes_2232]

Undertale Yellow is based on the fact that the human with the yellow soul (justice) in Undertale wore a cowboy hat and carried a gun, and that's why you can shoot when your soul turns yellow against Mettaton and Spamton, and in the battle against Omega Flowey when the yellow soul is present his attack is a gun. I highly doubt this is a reference to Undertale Yellow when literally the concept of the yellow cowboy was Toby's concept from the beginning.

[@sarafontanini7051]

if its one of the town's police who get involved in some way in the plot i doubt it'd be napstablook. sure subverting expectations and all, but 1) nap is TOO socially anxious to even leave the police office when someone knocks on the door, let alone answer a call for help frokm toriel and 2) you think Undyne WOULDN'T just rush over to fight a criminal, AFTER already espousing how bored she is without any real crimes to solve AND the fact she''s been eager to rush into EVERYTHING in the town so far?

[@HalfBreadOrder]

19:54 I think elnina and lanino predict/change the weather of chapter four, (idk how that didn't seem... ig... obvious... to you guys 😅) also the things in the window are action figures, it says that when you interact with it (edit: how did you not know that...)

[@ecstaticwooper368]

My dumbass theory is that since Asgore is a "retired police chief" maybe he gets called in or hears the house being attacked and then it's him in the dark world so we get a chapter of annoying relationship drama which leads to asgore being an opposition (like Berdly in Ch2) until they make up at the end

[@KorrupKopia]

That's exactly what I was thinking too. Think about it, why make an entire chapter about the Dreemur house if there is going to be nothing about Asgore and Toriel's relationship? Also, if my theory is correct, the Pacific route will end with Asgore and Toriel making peace and starting their relationship again while the "weird route" will end with Asgore being arrested or something like that.

[@ecstaticwooper368]

@@KorrupKopia Oh yeah and another piece of evidence Assuming Toriel gets the Noelle treatment in Ch3 and torches a bunch of enemies in the weird route, in a similar vein of Noelle killing Berdley. someone she actually knew and was friends with, wouldn't it be a better climax for Toriel to kill Asgore rather than some random police officer? Now I'm not actually sure if every genocide route will follow the same formula but if it does I think it makes more sense for Asgore to be involved over Undyne. Also "Pacific Route" lmao

[@cardboardegg7470]

I convinced myself that the Shadowguys themselves are the human shaped cookie cutters that are referenced in the house, or were at least cut out by them. Since this is a Dark World and all, the empty space within the cutter would be filled with darkness instead, and maybe that's why they have a white outline, since most cookie cutters are depicted as silver? I already thought this before the recent newsletter, but seeing the equipment info about the GingerGuard directly after the Shadowguy info made me raise an eye. Anyways, great video! I've been loving watching these while I sit in anticipation and go insane from theory crafting!

is it just me or does anyone else think that the tv might be related to flowey

[@Dave-UTube]

i've always had the theory that we (the soul) are controlling Kris, and preventing him from doing what he's trying to do, and when our soul shatters, he has control, meaning he's trying to give us a harder challenge. proof/evidence? not much, just that Kris can rip his soul out and move freely, and when he puts it back, we have control, and on the first ending, we could still control him (my thought is that our soul wasn't shattered, other evidence is that there is a somewhat red stain near the bird cage.) another thing is that we can't see what happens after the soul shatters, and we only have the options to continue, or give up. another theory is that they are actually just playing in the closet, and stuff, considering that there is an abundance of stuff in the one room, and a bunch of stuff on the computers, meaning they could have just went in the room, notice all of the board games and stuff, played there all day, and "pretend" they didn't know what was happening, as for jevil, he was discarded, but maybe used as an extra card for a missing piece. and for the computer room, they were using the computers, as for [[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]], and the snowgrave route??? no evidence, except kris was telling Noelle what to do, but no evidence as for how Nerdley dies. and for this video, i feel like toriel will be a character that can join us, but will likely be a pacifist, and maybe undyne will be able to join, considering napstablook is a ghost. (you get the idea) and also maybe asgore? (he's trying to get back with toriel, tright? so maybe he notices something at the house, and would want to save them, trying to look cool and get toriel back.) also another theory for the new dark world, is it won't have anyone from chapter one, (except ralsei ofc, considering she came from nowhere in chapter two, when there was no evidence of him being able to enter, which adds onto my second theory...) and remember about how susie mentions other things? (but doesn't switch the channel to it) you get the idea. [THESE ARE ALL THEORIES]

[@Hecatonicosachoron]

My observations are that the smile on the TV looks like the sprite that appears temporarily in the basement... and also Jevil and Spamton are both smiling. The sea-side scene of Susie and Kris is quite telling... it looks like onion-san is emerging from the water but Susie either threw or is about to throw something in the ocean. That fits with the general trend of Susie being less and less under the control of the player. It's almost as if all those hometown characters want to join some kind of revolution against the player. But do so without just reproducing cut-scenes. In a way to be free from the author and the player, or free from the author and the audience.
