Burgerpants is definitely the Knight. Ending the world is very rational when you work in fast food.

[@MarioTheIdea_Vs_MarioTheMan]

The creator of the burgerpants conspiracy presents it like it's a far fetched theory but he really just planted a microchip in Toby's brain and now knows all future plans for deltarune

Pizzapants is creating the Dark Worlds to make his fake girlfriend PNG real.

The Berdly dialog really brings me hope that he will have a role in later chapters. He IS Noelle's best friend, and the main support she had for years. (Plus it'd be funny af if BERDLY was one of the most important characters)

[@Dorked]

Yeah, what this tells me is that, at minimum, we're going to see more of Berdly in the normal route. That might even make his absence in the weird route all the more jarring.

[@cultspina]

[@pablojimenezarjona4755]

Kerdly confirmed.

[@Maxwell4Smash]

BERDLY IS THE KNIGHT

[@luisproductions1529]

Berdly could be more of a reoccurring character that Kris and Susie meet up with but doesn't play a really big role, like a side character. And maybe he won't be around after the snowgrave route

Considering the burgerpants sprite is labeled as ch5 which means that burgerpants is probably going to play a role somehow.

I like the detail that Sans and Papy don’t have any different clothes for winter, they live in snowdin the outfits they wear are built for the snow. Also, it mentioned that Seam’s tail got ripped off by cruel and loving hands, and Jevil is cruel, he and Seam were close, and we know Seam fought Jevil to force him into the cage so they could’ve lost both their eye and tail in that fight.

[@gameyfirebro9645]

What if Jevil's tail is really Seam's?

​@@gameyfirebro9645 Jevil: "HE HE HE! MY TAIL NOW!"

Maybe the cruel and loving hands are the children that used to play with them

[@godslaughter]

Cute idea, I'm sure Jevil and Seam had a great friendship (and perhaps still do to some extent) but I'm *pretty* certain that this was about a child or several children playing with the plush.

[@Musical4thWall]

​@@philltheotherguy1868 That actually makes sense

[@directorjake]

I just think its funny that Berdly might be a somewhat important character outside of chapter 2. This is deeply funny to me.

[@Dorked]

Berdly being important in normal route is so big brained because it makes snowgrave even more striking.

[@luisproductions1529]

Snowgrave kinda implies that berdly is in a coma or dead so his disappearance will really start to sink in after the weird route

​@@Dorked Definitely! I disagree with the original theory of there being 7 knights, but multiple knight theory seems way more likely to me than Kris Knight, as I don't think they opened Ch. 1 or 2's dark fountains, but I could see any combination of Pizzapants, Noelle, and maybe even Susie opening a dark fountain.

Ello! wanted to point out something out about the last newsletter, so basically the last chapter 5 news had a balloon and its color palette was literally the exact same as the posters of ice E in ice E's pizza and in this chapter 5 news burger/pizzapants is relevant somehow. (sorry if the grammar is bad I was rushing this)

[@Dorked]

That's actually a really interesting point that lends itself to Ice-E's as a dark world for chapter 5. Fascinating...

[@LUCIDLOVEBUG]

interestingly if you go to the actual store page for the striped shirt, the description is different from the one in the newsletter and the coloration looks a bit closer to chara's colors than kris ( you can compare the images side by side and the newsletter one looks noticeably more yellow ). it says "The pattern of a shirt worn by a beloved someone. Your love will become theirs. Their love will become yours." it's similar, but i would like to note how where the shirt looks more chara-esque, it's referring to chara as a beloved someone, whereas kris is kind of outcast in their hometown. and the kris-like shirt image, it calls it a mask over your skin, like how you are pretending to be kris and sort of taking over their life for them in deltarune. the phrases "your love will become theirs" and "their love will become yours" are also swapped in order on the newsletter and store page, for chara your love becomes theirs first, for kris their love becomes yours first. i think this has some wild implications for the dynamic between kris and the player, would like to hear others' thoughts on this.

[@GameJam230]

Bruh I’ve been saying Chapter 4 will be at Noelle’s house since the day we got the teaser with her with the flashlight. And, don’t forget that the Spamton Sweepstakes mentioned an Ice Palace Maze that could only be navigated by a party member who knows the way. If a messy garage full of Christmas decorations could be described as anything BUT an ice palace maze then I’d be legitimately shocked, and don’t forget that Noelle is the one character who should know how to find anything in their own garage/storage room, not even mentioning the flashlight, a tool for *finding things in the dark.* And, if we go by the Sweepstakes description, then there will also be a way to AVOID adding Noelle to our party, causing us to reach a hidden door that can’t be unlocked without a key that doesn’t exist in the game. In this case, it would have to come from outside the dark world, either found in chapter 3, or in the light world segments between the two dark worlds.

[@Dorked]

Chapter 4 being the payoff to the ice palace page would be genuinely kickass, and I kinda hope that happens now.

[@GameJam230]

@@Dorked At first I thought it would be for the chapter 3 secret boss, but now I’m absolutely 100% convinced this is how it will happen instead. It also keeps the maze directly associated with Noelle narratively, as it should be. I also think there may be a connection between HOW this will occur and Gas Leak theory. Personally, I hate gas leak theory because it seeks to dismiss us seeing Kris literally make a dark fountain on screen as another fake-out, but there’s an element of potential to it too. If Toriel will be in the dark world, then she’s likely to have fire magic. She also called the police, making it possible that the police will show up, particularly Undyne, who is weak to heat. This immediately sets up both a normal and weird route, but it ALSO sets up a way they can convince Toriel and Undyne that the dark world is a dream; it’s a delirium induced by low oxygen due to being in a house fire caused by a gas leak. Yes, you heard me right, I’m predicting that Kris and Susie will try to play off the dark world as a dream by using the exact thing gas leak theorists claimed would be used to make Kris’ actions a red herring, but also that the chapter ends with a house fire. (To be clear, I’m not saying it ends with the whole house burning down, that might be excessive, but it might need to undergo inspections and cleaning to be deemed safe). Don’t forget too that Kris opened the front door, and dark world matter floods the room like a black smoke, meaning anyone who sees the house could easily be convinced that it’s burning down. Undyne may even try to blame the trouble-maker Susie for starting it, only to be defended by Toriel, showing genuine care for and trust in Susie, which her character arc really needs after establishing the implication of a troubled home and her fondness for Toriel. The result of all this? Toriel calls an old friend of the family to request that Kris stay over for a little bit, and Noelle may even invite Susie to join the sleepover. It helps connect Kris’ weird actions at the end of each chapter to characters likely to be present, AND gives a valid reason for the next dark world to end up at Noelle’s house and still be consistent regardless of route (we know it isn’t as simple as Noelle just invites Kris over if you did the weird route, for example).

[@RmationYT]

@@GameJam230OMG ARE YOU WORKING FOR TOBY

Also the text does appear to be in order of conversation pre each connected sentence however this may not even show in game in the order presented & even the order they are shown pre paragraph could only be shown as distraction I put nothing past the Inu at this point

[@esthelleg7037]

Since the (adorable) animation sprites for the newsletter all seem to be from Undertale specifically, it reminds me of a theory question of sorts I’ve had for a while now: 1. Toby assured us that Undertale’s ending has not been altered- ergo if you managed a happy ending, the characters are still enjoying that. 2. Undertale and Deltarune are somehow connected, with many theorizing that Sans (and ostensibly Papyrus) are from Deltarune to begin with. However, I haven’t seen any discourse surrounding how 1 & 2 might affect each other? For instance, if the Sans in Undertale is from Deltarune… what is he doing back in Deltarune, now? Is the Sans we see in Deltarune a younger version of Undertale Sans, chronologically? That doesn’t really make sense, but neither does Sans (and hopefully Papyrus) being yoinked from Undertale’s ending back to Deltarune, especially since the player might have picked Undertale’s genocide route- and even if not, that ending is supposed to be untouched either way! I have… no idea how much sense this makes? But I think it’s interesting, at least- or maybe it’s just driven me past the point of rationality!

the christmas stuff in the chapter 4 section could just be a red herring, the newsletter has a christmas theme so it would make sense if toby decided to show things that are related to christmas, we could visit noelle's house at the end of the chapter. as for the dark world i highly think it will be the church just because of rudy going to the church on the same day chapter 4 is supposed to take place, as well as the cup darkner and Alvin mentioning that there is juice in the church. so it appears that inferno means hell, or atleast fire, and if the holiday mansion is the chapter 4 dark world it wouldn't make sense for a fire enemy to be in a place whose residents like cold, especially mayor holiday, however it makes total sense for it to be in the church based on the religious meaning of the word

There's confirmation that Berdly will indeed continue to be relevant after chapter 2, so there's going to be significant changes if you did the Snowgrave role. It's not that Berdly will disappear from the narrative in order to fit the linear story.

For some odd reason, I just feel like toby would release chapter 4 and 5 on january 1st (This is 100000000000% not true.)

[@Dorked]

I think we can expect it by Undertale's 10th anniversary at the latest, tbh, but we'll see.

[@g.t.nlastwish8410]

The future darkworld and black friday merch was really intriguing to see anyhow so ch3&4 is guaranteed to come out in 2025 i speculated that it'll come out at near the end of spring cause by then the frozen dog would have fully thawed out (just a guess of course)

[@emerald6597]

i cant believe that like the alphabet we will "c" chapters 3 and 4 in less than a year (less than 6 months if we are being real)

[@bitterman213]

Toriel got that ushanka drip

[@FestiveAngel06]

Krerdly will become real in DELTARUNE's future chapters....

[@jirachido3997]

I think Berdly is talking to Susie

[@BestBadGuyLancer]

News letter is always good 👍

[@peytontriplett8098]

When I read the newsletter it was crazy when it said my name. I didn't expect that at all lol 😂

[@sumthngcool4221]

Hey, who made that cover in the background of the Elly and Dess story? It’s really sweet 😊

[@MineZapp]

14:03 Wait... say that again.

[@ZaCloud-Animations___she-her]

"To by or not to by" is pronounced in Japanese like "Toby or not Toby". A parody of "To be or not to be." Nice pun. :3 But it COULD still also have a third shop-related context too, which would make it, like, a triple inverse pun! 😀

[@jonathanhowells7864]

When do you plan on uploading the Undertale Yellow vods because I at least want to hear you talk about it if not anytime soon

[@Dorked]

I actually have the first VOD up, but I have to go through and do chapter markers, etc, which I might start doing tomorrow. Meant to do it sooner, but I got a bit busy.

[@ТаняВасилева-МФ]

10:08 please Toby tell me it's azzy

[@QSBraWQ]

11:48 Also asriel shirt!

[@egg_l0rd13]

I really really want Persona analyses from you and I agree that Morgana is so unfairly overhated. Never understood the rage toward the lil furball.

[@Dorked]

I think he just annoys people, and there are some parts in P5's writing for him that grate on people (e.g. the Okumura arc). While Mona isn't my favorite Phantom Thief, I do like him well enough, and most of the issues with him aren't even there in Tactica, which had a really good showing for Morgana. Plus, he was one of the best party members there. xD

[@TheRiddler6129]

Is that Sheep Raider PS1 music I hear?

[@Thebattlecats2001]

Maybe seam section for their tail is a refute jevil if you pacist jevil you get jevil tail

[@Kikimikiriki]

i cant believe this is happening

[@JacksonDevices]

Here me out: at the beginning, toby is in a very, very, familiar ice, the same as berdly, as stated by dorked, and it also not to put the dog in the defroster, you know how you unfreeze chicken? A defroster, basically, I think toby is saying not to abort the weird route.

[@EarthboundBenjy]

I'd say that Deltarune could not be considered the biggest Game Maker game, because we just got UFO 50, which is literally 50 games in one Game Maker project. I don't know why Mossmouth can release a single GM project that is literally 50 games in one, while Toby is struggling to have more than 2 chapters in a single project.
