Asriel's character is so well done here. He holds Chara in a pedestal and can't even accept that they used to be a bad friend, instead blaming himself of what happened on the surface. And the moment Chara's behavior diverges from this idealized version that never actually existed, the only explanation Asriel can accept is that Frisk corrupted them (like how Undyne accused Frisk of turning Papyrus against her, when in reality it was his choice)

[@DementedDuskull]

Hello again. If I had a nickel for every time I ran into you... well... Anyway, I kinda did get a little emotional watching this too, it reminded me of Encanto, y'see. And from Chara's final lines, I felt both the catharsis of standing up to someone you resent, as well as foundation-shattering despair from being rejected by someone you idolize. I think it touches on something pretty real on both sides and does well in exploring the not-great relationship Chara and Asriel once had.

ALRIGHT THIS WAS SO GOOD. This might be up there with The Angel's Promise, which is my all time favourite chapter of IF. This massive, golden church was so strikingly different in design from the greyscale underground, and the pitch black entrance to the rift... and all the ghostly figures praising Asriel left this terrifying feeling to the whole place. (Also it all really reminded me of the premiere chat Asriel cult, this really is the Asriel cult chapter) Asriel showed how much of a hypocrite he is, again, by saying he wants to lift Chara of their burdens and yet idolizing them and placing them on a pedestal. The story of Chara and Asriel recounted as this origin story for a god was genuinely so unexpected, yet so in line with what Asriel's been doing up until this point. Literally, when I saw the Book of Asriel my jaw dropped, i wasn't expecting that at all but it fit so well... When the door opened, and I saw the cloaked figure saying that Frisk would have no purpose at all without Flowey, basically saying everything Flowey had used to abuse and gaslight Frisk, I was genuinely hoping it wouldn't be Lilac. What do you know, it was Lilac. A different version of her, controlled by Asriel... and it was absolutely terrifying to see. Again, IF shows an amazing ability to make the viewers feel something, which is just a part of what makes its writing so good. And now, onto my favourite part. THE MINIBOSS. THE. MINIBOSS. As Frisk and Chara approached the shrine, I was genuinely asking myself what will happen, but I surely wasn't expecting THIS. Asriel's ego forming this.. pale white figure with angel wings and hollow, black eyes, styled so differently in comparison to the other battle sprites... it was AMAZING. Chara and Frisk slowly shattering its composure was really satisfying to see, and its voice changing from this echoed whisper to Asriel's own voice as he screamed out, asking what is real if not his world... Just. BRILLIANT. And the music for this boss? SO GOOD. The whispers singing praise for Asriel was again, something I wasn't expecting, but something that fit SO WELL. Just, an amazing piece of music all throughout, complimenting the boss fight perfectly. I LOVED THIS SO MUCH. In the end, the temple turned to gray, and Chara and Frisk were thrown... who knows where, as it shattered. The postcredits with the human souls and, what was presumably Papyrus's soul... they left me even more hyped than before. Just, this was such a good chapter, and I'm excited for more Inverted Fate.

28:45 notice how their voice reverts back to normal and how at 29:23, they start shaking like they are afraid. Asriel seems to genuinely be afraid of losing Chara in that moment. As Cap said, Asriel’s facade breaks, and we can see what he really is: They’re not just a brat who refused to grow up. Nor are they just a heartless child with attachment issues. They’re a little kid who has lost everything, even their sanity, a kid who is afraid of being all alone, and simply just wants Chara to hug them, and not let go. They don’t just want Chara to love them again, they *need* him to love him so that everything they have done wasn’t all for nothing. And if Chara still doesn’t love them, then they hurt thousands of people for nothing. As the Idol of Ego puts it, “If I’m not a god, if none of this is real, then what is real?!”

Alternate title “A false god gets angry when his best friends gets another friend and try’s gaslighting them into spilting up (not clickbait)“ After watching this, let me just say this was great! I always loved how this au portrays Asriel as less then perfect and acknowledges the fact that he is still flowey. Another thing I love is how chara is still a person with flaws but isn’t the “murder happy person” this is honestly one of my favorite au’s because it feels like a story that could be in undertale. It isn’t just one of those au’s where it’s only sans, ( although a lot of those au’s can be great, their just a little over done) this one has everyone + more. I know this au has been in development for over 6(?) years and i just wanna say, keep up the amazing work! Can’t wait to see what’s next

[@king2.0smods17]

This is one of the best chapters in Inverted Fate. Asriel spends the entire video trying to gaslight Frisk and Chara (and by extension, the viewer) into thinking he's this noble, kind all loving hero god whose actions are motivated by benevolence and mercy. It almost makes you think Asriel deserves to be forgiven before you remember all the horrible things he did such as manipulating everyone so he could become god, tormenting Frisk after absorbing the 6 souls, mass murder and kicking Frisk while they're down at least once per episode after becoming god. I also like how the cathedral evokes memories of Undertale's Judgement Hall, the holy scripture of Asriel and Chara and how this develops Asriel's character. It showcases how Asriel has become corrupted into a self-aggrandizing hypocrite with a god complex who puts himself and Chara on pedestals which scapegoating Frisk for everything, yet believes that he's entitled to Chara's goodwill just because he resurrected them. Then there's also how he uses Lilac's visage to kick Frisk where it hurts, or how the entire episode shows how Asriel's plan is steeped in toxic idealism and how he believes that Chara can do no wrong. The fight with the Effigy of Ego is also one of the best fights in the story, being a showcase of Chara's character development where he stands up to Asriel and exposes his charade for what it is: A toxic friendship where Asriel has all the power in a world based on an idealized past created by tearing down the present world and rewriting history to fit a golden standard that never existed.

[@eruditonaranja27]

I like how detailed and luxurious Asriel's temple looks (like the incredibly *BIG* pillars compared to the ones on the Last Corridor ). And it's undeniable: Chara wrecked Asriel's Ego

[@nasch6572]

This episode is great. It's like the way I ironically spoke of Asriel in this AU with my friend, like "he technically broke the barrier" and "eh all of the good things that happened happened because of him"...but at first degree. And as the Bible of a new religion : the Asrielism. It's disturbing, which I guess is the wanted goal. I really like how Asriel tries to understand Chara, but in the end fails because he idealized Chara so much that he can't see Chara's evolution as a progress. Because if Chara became better than he was, it means that him, trying to adopt Chara's mentality, got worse, and everything he did was for nothing. In Undertale, Asriel needed to be defeated by Frisk's kindness in order to realize that Chara wasn't flawless, but here ? He can't accept it, because he went way too far. The fight against EGO was glorious. It was disturbing, scary, emotional and powerful. Chara and Frisk's answers to EGO were perfect, and it's just the first mini-boss ! I can't wait for the next episode. Asriel will save us all. Asriel will give us hope. Asriel will set us free. Overiding right and wrong.

[@eruditonaranja27]

And I also like how Asriel tries the "sweet" approach to get them on their side. When villains do that it's clever

[@DuskyZenGardenSky]

Holy Cow… That was awesome! It was really nice to see other ‘faces’ and COLOR after not being able to for a long time. Lilac also being turned was something that I didn’t expect (mostly in the way it was delivered, I was largely expecting a boss fight with her.) Ego as a fight was awesome! It only made me love Chara and Frisk more. I also loved the detail of Ego never attacking Chara directly, only choosing to attack Frisk.

[@matiasmagresso7308]

The funny thing here is that if Asriel would forget about Chara, if he just wanted to enjoy his new powers and possibilities for himself, he could win and the story would be over. The only reason Frisk and Chara keep walking is because Asriel allows them to, if Asriel will get over his traumas and accept living without depending on someone, he would have already won.

[@turkepic3637]

I love a good fanfic. Never imagined such a good one existed to make me return to the fandom! Anyway , the Church music (mus ego?) is actually A+. Most Inverted Fate music is great but this was above the rest. I can imagine it in a well , very well made game OST! Which fits I guess.

Also, the characters are fascinatingly well-built and the analysis are striking on the dot. And the theming overall too... the genuine hope for a brighter future contrasting with the fake one that requires full control, being just a sugarcoated nihilism is a fantastic theme and message to explore! Phenomenal work all around!!

[@matiasmagresso7308]

The answer is simple, a redemption at this point makes no sense. What would win with that? He would lose his powers, no one is going to accept or love him anymore, in the "best" of cases he would live locked up for life, facing the consequences. From a hard and fair point of view, there is a line that if the person crosses, the person does not deserve to receive anything other than consequences and negative things, that is called justice.

[@DarktoLight561]

You know, looking at everything that’s happened I can see what Asriel is going through. He’s seen the humans, he’s seen Chara before. He, just like Chara, tried to control an outcome. They both thought that it would lead to a better future. They wanted the best for each other so much that in the end they weren’t seeing what the other truly wanted. Chara with Asriel’s hope of everyone living together in a peaceful world in the past, and Asriel with Chara’s hope to have everything be normal. But in the end they both hadn’t learned the lesson that seeing someone as just what’s on the outside, and gaining control to fit ideals, it might just end up with a worse outcome. Asriel learned that lesson shortly after activating the plan and seemed to just forget it, while Chara learned it after realizing how controlling the world can make it worse due to what Asriel has done. What I’m trying to say is having control over every little thing in a world, regardless what you do with it, if you can’t see what everything you’ve done has come to, it hurts everything around you. If you wanted to build a world around an image of someone, you may just miss the bigger picture of what you, others, or even the one your idealizing really want. In a way, I think Undertale can perfectly show how this can effect people, mainly in a genocide run. They try to control an outcome and forget that these characters, they could see you for what you are. If people can’t see the bigger picture, they can’t see what could’ve made them better. Nobody has to fully agree with you, you don’t have to idolize them. But in the end, sometimes the thing with the smallest control, can work to make something better

[@TheNotSoFunnyClown]

Another straight banger, looking forward for the next one. And the souls and spamton may be having a bigger part too its perfect. However are we gonna see omega big shot later on 👀

[@CarlosSilva-bh4bi]

Hey... That song in the end was great!

[@betabeef4115]

The cult of Asriel has fallen! Chara grows a backbone Frisk participates *and PAPYRUS makes a return!!!*

[@redacted378]

When it's Sunday and you realize you have to attend Asriel church

[@13KuriMaster]

It sucks that my computer randomly shut off while I was watching... but I'll give the timing props for doing so as one of the Flowey's talked about erasing the world... took me a second to realize that it was an actual error on my computer and not intentional like that fake-reboot screen from when they obtained the god powers. Oooh? Next update is next week instead of what the video says? O-O... :D

[@kunindavual]

hmm, I think that these things like "effigy of ego" are a part of asriel, and as frisk and chara beat them, asriel will get less powerful/ determined, how far off am I?

[@K5E4VX7YY2I9N]

i know it's obvious but i think it's cool that the boss only targets frisk

[@crazygamingoscar7325]

Ok here's my theory. Asriel is going to go through the stages of grief. In this chapter and the last he's in denial. But we can already see that slipping with the EGO boss. With his ego shattered (and before it died, starting to become angry) we may be entering anger next, which could be th flowey like one in the poster. The one after than would be bargaining, so maybe asriel replaces chara in an effort to make them feel jealous. Like he thought was going on with frisk. Idk what happens with depression But it has to end with acceptance

[@Jaydog8536]

For once I checked BEFORE the next episode premiered. EDIT: and I still missed the premiere. EDIT: Yikes Chara's Bluntness and Frisk's endless sass may have made things worse.

[@rich_gamer0667]

I love the Mental manipulation in this. And the fact that chara and frisk fall in separares ways means that they probably won't bè togheter. And finally the human souls have personality

[@VoidAcrid]

I honestly think this is the most concerned I’ve been this whole series… Asriel’s trying to get into both Frisk and Chara’s heads, Lilac is being used to portray Asriel further as a god, and the post credits, you can see that the two have been potentially split apart. Where this is all going has me very worried for everyone…

[@stoplookingatthisyougleepy]

I really enjoyed the entirety of this video that’s still premiering.

[@TheShiningDiamond]

yoooo the cult thing was actually a really good parallel between asriel and chara's parent being unaccepting. Time and time again the puppets ask Chara to repent and embrace who they WANT Chara to be, and in both instances Chara rejects this narrative and choose their own path! Really liked that :). Especially Chara saying "If you can't accept me as I am now", very good paralleling to someone coming out. Also, 6 souls papyrus?? eyes emoji

[@youtubebobguy]

Yet another episode so soon! Awesome!

[@justunder2765]

This is amazing, this must be one of the best Au that I have seen, I have no words, I am glad that I met this Au

[@blehhhhh-q30]

Hyped for the Angel's appearance

[@medjaimcgraw5632]

tbh when the floweys started rhyming and he said thats rich I thought something with calling them a bitch was about to pop up

[@choboy46]

The fight in a nutshell: Two kids give a "god" an existential crisis and he dies

[@Reed_Ever]

The music in this video was amazing!!!

[@Lordylen]

24:07 Ok this is straight up analoge horror

[@RadioRobot-ix3gw]

Open your eyes, Chara.

[@TheBanishedWind]

You should see a recent pic of Toriel that Tyrranux made. Reminded me of the Effigy Of Ego

[@stormy1303]

Alright, this looks exciting. I can't wait

[@autumnwolverton4154]

Nothing much I can say here that a whole bunch of other comments haven't already said better. This chapter was incredible, IF in general is incredible, super excited for the rest of Rift, etc etc. I will say, though, it's weird how so many of my favorite pieces of media center around children obtaining and misusing godlike power. Both IF and the original Undertale, Pokemon Reborn, A Better Place, Everything Everywhere All at Once... I wonder what it is about that trope in particular that really speaks to me. I guess seeing what a tragically flawed character would do with unlimited power is just a super cool, super dramatic way to highlight and then resolve those flaws? IDK.

[@ChaoticSpud]

As a Christian, going fists against a false god hits hard

[@crazygamingoscar7325]

This was amazing omg! The boss was awesome, and if asriel was listening In, idk how he'll feel. And are the souls helping papyrus in an effort to stop asriel? So excited for the next part

[@bbanksracing]

I CANT FRICKIN WAIT FOR IT! THIS FINNA BE EPIC AS FRICK BOIIIIIII!

[@notaninfodump5929]

Asriel really be trying to convert them to the cult- *ahem* I mean church, totally NOT a cult.

[@NyxTryx]

omg rift part 2 premiers in 2 days!? holly shit lets fucking go!! Edit: THIS WAS AMAZING AND CHARA GAVE ASRIEL A REALITY CHECK DAMN- AND THE SOULS ARE GONNA HELP!!!

[@CyberweaverVT]

Playable Ego fight and playable Determinator fight when lol Jokes aside, I loved this, and am expecting a Lilac boss fight if Frisk and Chara truly got separated at the end. Asriel will no doubt use her to try and turn Frisk.

[@TimIrkaa]

I think there will be a battle. Lilac has battle sprites for a reason.

[@RIP2UALL]

Hmm, so really interesting stuff here. Asriels EGO is fully shaded and colored and everything. Showing he can do just as much weird crap as Omega Flowey. What I do wonder though, Spamton went into the place in the last part right? What if he grabbed a couple souls and stood up to asriel? Now THAT would be something.

[@elizabeth_x51]

Asriel absorbed every SOUL, and Spamton knows he can't fight him without dying

[@luisproductions1529]

LETS GOOOOOOO!!!! The asriel statues are really creepy though

[@jonathanhowells7864]

What a beautiful area and fight and it only goes up from here

[@darkecstaticcomment]

Like again, this episode was out of this world! It's just beyond awesome!

[@FatEngineerGaming]

I mean... you gotta give it to Asriel, he was really good with the design of the temple, ego aside.

[@rocking_lol]

This is gonna be interesting, can’t wait! Edit: oh boy this was great, I’ll be excited for April 15th!
