The CRAZIEST Deltarune theory ever: TWILIGHT ZONE THEORY (Jevil & Spamton)

[@ValueNetwork]

EDIT: Thank you so much for 10K Views, as a thank you, ill answer some Frequently asked questions: "Why isnt Spamton the major" This is my most common FAQ. Put simply i think the Major has to be the last conventional secret boss (chapter 5) since the Major and the clown are the main characters in the episode, and exact opposites. Plus the Major actually broke free from the cylinder, whereas Spamton couldn't "See past the dark". Also I'm really confident with the Spamton and hobo death connection. "Will the bagpiper play the song from the sea" that's a idea i didn't think about. the song from the sea is very complex. I don't think i can answer that one (AKA Thats a future theory. Another crazy one, so very on brand)... "So is Gaster the chapter 6 secret boss" I personally don’t think Gaster will be a secret boss for chapter 6/7. I don’t know/cant predict how many secret bosses the game will have but it might just be 5 (If its more, they wont fit into the theory). However I personally do think that Gaster will be Introduced as a character in chapter 6. After “the Majors” attempt to escape. IDK what Gasters role in the story plot wise will be, but I’m really confident with the Grey door connection and the musical comparison (even if my understanding of music theory is non existent. "So is Gaster Rod Sterling" Well i didn't want to say it... but Possibly. personally was thinking of Gaster as more of a representation of the "Twilight zone" itself.

[@kingofcrap4414]

I actually like the idea of Spamton being the Major a little bit more, as they both seek freedom at all costs and vehemently refuse to accept fate. The Major and the Clown also directly interact with each other, similar to how Spamton and Jevil have an implied connection.

[@alexknj1]

Honestly, even if this doesn't turn out to be entirely true, I wouldn't be surprised if Toby got some inspiration from this Twilight Zone episode. Also Gaster is Rod Sterling wearing a funny costume, this is my current headcanon.

@@DeciDeci_actually, they’re more interconnected than you’d think! The reason internet spam is called that is actually because of that Monty Python skit. A long time ago, there was a common joke in chat rooms where everyone would just write the word spam, over and over and over, in reference to the song from the aforementioned Monty Python skit. This would completely fill up the chat room, rendering it impossible to have a normal conversation. That’s why it’s called spam. Because the first spam was spam.

To be fair, as an artist, you tend to pull from a lot of different sources for inspiration. It's actually a lot better to pull from multiple sources.

[@lapstones]

I'm watching the theory for a second time and wondering. Imagine if the Bagpiper inspired character would have something to do with the "song coming from the sea", the one that Onionsan mentions. That would be wild.

[@ghifariasoka8272]

Would it make sense for thr 'Bagpiper' to be a seashell then? They're naturally discarded when conches die, left adrift and trapped by waves or currents, and you can 'hear the ocean' when you put one to your ear

[@t.funkthecoolmunk5472]

When I first heard Gaster’s theme, I immediately thought of The Twilight Zone. It has to be the inspiration for it. Anyways, about the ballerina, she’s the one who suggests that she and the other prisoners are “unloved.” For the longest time, I’ve had the hunch the chapter 3 would have a secret boss longing to be loved. So far the secret bosses had an internal conflict that Kris also has (Jevil and being disillusion, plus Spamton and fear of losing control). I feel at least one of the secret bosses will have to relate to Kris’ fear of being unloved. I have a strong feeling that Chapter 3’s secret boss will be a former entertainer (possibly a ballerina) who used to be adored by everyone who now has no one who cares about them. Kris, who feels abandoned by their brother and worries their parents will do the same, can relate.

[@ValueNetwork]

I really like how you describe the ballerina here. You’ve helped me see her as a actual Deltarune boss! I love the idea of the Secret bosses reflecting Kris character in some way, and a secret boss focusing on Kris abandonment issues because of the divorce, Asriel leaving etc is a cool idea and is also Different from the Spamton Kris connection.

I especially think you are spot on with the ballerina’s characterization for the chapter 3 boss. With the existing parallels between jevil and spamton with Chris and Susie respectively it stands to reason the next secret boss will be a Ralsei stand in. The ballerina’s total consignment to her fate could mirror Ralsei’s obedience and themes of pre-destiny. Just one more bit of evidence for the pile.

[@jocosejpeg]

​@@RadicalGarryThe Jevil-Susie connection is often made as a process-of-elimination comparison to the much more obvious Spamton-Kris connection. Mainly it's due to Jevil's weapon going to Susie + reducing the TP cost of Rude Buster, their shared destructive/rebellious tendencies (though it's much more serious on Jevil's end), and the fact that Chapter 1's Dark World already had an affinity with Susie, similar to how the Cyber World was very Noelle-centric

[@redheaddjg]

Well, I am not the biggest fan of people using different pieces of literature to predict the future of Deltarune (see skys forever blue) but this one seemed a little interesting to me. The moment I saw the part where the characters turned to toys, I knew you were on to something with this one. The grey door was something interesting though. The connection of Gaster's theme with the Twilight Zone theme however, there's some similarities there. The intervals aren't the same but the repeating arpeggio element is there. I don't think these two have any connection though with how common arpeggios are in music. I don't know, there's a lot of coincidences with this one. Some of the same or similar ideas and themes are there but that's about it.

Cool to see other people tying Deltarune with other pieces of media. Personally I think Gaster is much like Dr. Manhattan, with them both being torn apart (I'm a person who thinks Mystery Man is not Gaster, it's an unpopular opinion) and gaining godlike omniscience.

[@desestscourge6240]

I don't you if you intended this gut the way you describe how the characters related to the chapter 3,4 and 5 secret bosses reminded me of how Foane, Helel and Occazio. One trying repeatedly to reach freedom for who knows how long and eventually giving up, one being entirely uninterested in it in favour of their own goals and the last being the most knowledgable and refusing to fail where all others have.

[@ValueNetwork]

It was coincidental BUT I did realise the connection Between the Major and Occazio when writing the script. But Although Foane and Occazio do line up surprisingly well, the Bagpiper Doesn't fit with Halel IMO. My idea behind the bagpiper is a character whos denying being a secret boss, "Jevil but with denial" as i put it. Whereas Halel is way more knowledgeable, Shes more motivated by Greif and anger. If you want a Fandom secret boss to compare the Bagpiper too, Solis by Marineflames might work better. A character who is so extremely in denial of what the shadow crystal gave them that hes willing to rewind time to go back to before he got the crystal

This theory is actually genius and fits all the boxes, but the Gaster Theme part is what sold me, especially after watching Andrew's video about it edit: who the hell used a dislike bot?

[@trondordoesstuff]

....except, according to Andrew's Gaster's Theme logic, the Twilight Zone meets pretty much none of the requirements - it doesn't even pass the first bar of having 3 distinct notes, let alone the intervals. Of course, it could still be part of the inspiration but if we're reaching towards that direction then "Who Are You?" from Final Fantasy seems more direct

[@dwarf17342]

@@trondordoesstuff I'm pretty sure that the twilight zone uses -1 -4 +4 +1 (if youtube piano tutorials are anything to go off of) which is a flipped gaster, and 4 instead of 7 was used a couple of times as a weak quote, once in scarlet forest. It's got repetition too, and it's a very exposed melody. If it was from deltarune it would very well in the interesting and unexpected category, since it's not it would have something like 120 on the brain rot scale.

[@theencolony5595]

@@dwarf17342 the only tie it has is the 1 X X 1 melody and repeating an exposed line, everything else is just trying to cram it into a box to make it fit. I feel he'd likely put it in the "moderate-high" area, since it'd be the only inverted one, and the scarlet forest 1441 was tenuous already

I absolutely think the Gaster part is true if nothing else. Like damn, everything about him screams Twilight Zone. How did I not notice before?

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

This is a pretty thin connection, and certainly not intentional, but I see Toby as having some similarities to Rod Serling. A true progressive, but also a true creative, his work unhindered but also enhanced by his politics.

[@Mydogatethehomework]

Considering that Toby Fox referenceed a commercial literly nobody knew about until spamton became popular, I wouldn't be suprised if there is something else out there nobody really knows about that heavily inspired Toby Fox. Keep in mind that Deltarune came to him in a fever dream and it must have took some aspects of things he recently experienced. So as wacky as it is I you have made quite the observation! Theorizing is meant to be fun in the end so it's alright if we end being wrong because we can look back and chuckle a little, but who knows? You could be right. Loved the video!

[@dolphin6756]

A Twilight Zone reference would be really really cool but IMO I think that woody theory is waaaay more likely. Yes, Jevil and maybe Spamton resemble two characters from that episode but two isn't a pattern. Pretty much the only evidence for this theory is Gaster's theme is similar to the Twilight Zone's theme. Still cool seeing The Twilight Zone being talked about nowadays. Very based show.

[@umyum3858]

It's so hilarious how much traction Woody Theory has. Like I can't believe how convincing it is despite being so outlandish.

[@dolphin6756]

@@umyum3858 With Toby Fox referencing cowboy shows in a suspicious way in the recent blog post plus him randomly reblogging his old Woody shitpost, its not a huge leap to at least assume deltarune Ch 3 will in some way have a character related to cowboys. It's still less of a leap of logic than 'a clown and a homeless person exist both in Deltarune and in one episode of The Twilight Zone therefore every one of deltarune's superbosses will be a reference to that episode'

[@Quackervoltz]

Woody Theory could still work Maybe it's mixed around and the Chapter Three Boss actually represents the Major

[@samala2931]

tbh I originally watched this just cause I thought it'd be typical crazy out-there theory fun, and...it still is, like this is definitely a crazy theory that more than likely isn't true, BUT-I really love it. Idk, maybe I'm heavily biased since not only do I love Twilight Zone as a whole, I also remember being intrigued by this specific episode and liking it, but the theme of forgotten and unloved objects seeing the truth of their world/reality, how they accept their fates and all that...I mean, yeah, it really parallels nicely to our current secret bosses, and most likely future secret bosses as well. Good video :)

[@tierghan5433]

I’m not gonna lie, this has some good water to hold. While I can believe that Toby could have gotten inspiration from the twilight zone episode, im not sure how much of a extent he would plan to use it. The gray door, the trapped people being toys, and the parallels with the hobo and clown fit really well. The only issue is that i don’t think that Toby would take this much from just one episode of the twilight zone. This would be basing whatever the origin of the secret bosses and gaster on top of a story outside of the scope of the game, something I don’t think he would write that easily. Not to mention that if the internet where to discover the connections before the game comes out, there would be a high chance that they would be spoiled, something I think Toby would like to avoid. He may have used the toy characters for references for the first two secret bosses, but now plans to not use the other toys for the rest, either using inspiration from other obscure media (I’m not saying TZ is obscure, just the episode is as it’s one of many the show had produced) for the rest of the bosses or just writing them from his and his teams own creativity. Time will only tell though, as he already has the major story beats written for the rest of the game, so changing them now is unlikely, even if this therroy is right and he prioritizes letting the community not guess the next step in the story. All in all though, this is a fun theory. I see some parts are probably about 95% true to the case, and I can’t wait to see how this ages when the rest of the chapters come out.

[@GreyVictory1510]

This is a fun theory. Even if wrong drawing a parallel between the episode and the secret bosses due to similar theming could be interesting.

[@Andiewhyte2149]

Also gaster, Gaster's room? And followers are all in black and white... 👀👀👀 Just like the twilight zone?!??!? 🤯

[@elianwyn]

Do I think this is the answer to Deltarune? No, but I think you're dead on that it's very clearly inspired. I doubt things will line up perfectly, they already don't really with Spamton and the hobo, but I had the thought myself that the Mystery Man theme had a weird similarity to the Twilight Zone theme, and the various phases of denial and acceptance of the secret bosses also lines up incredibly well. I don't think it's a stretch that Toby Fox would intentionally hearken your mind back to Mr. Serling specifically to invoke that same uneasy feeling that the show presents you with. The black and white theme, the gray door, and even the appearance of the Mystery Man all line up way too well. I'm surprised you didn't mention it, but one of the biggest hallmarks of Gaster so far seems to be the monochrome appearance of his followers, almost as if he's viewing the world through the perspective of an old TV show...

[@lou626]

Could the ballerina be the Pink girl from skies forever blue?

And in the end when player came back and she saw "heaven" the game broke. She also fits as a secret boss, being aware of the nature of her world, powerfull(lv 99), freedom theme, and could easily work as a parallel to ours and kris relation ship. Also her pink dress and ribon reminds me of a ballerina .

[@leondyer3855]

if i may add on to this, the ballerina could actually work as either a green soul fight (DDR) or the purple mode (which resembles music notes/a rhythmic dance from line to line); assuming chess theory is proven correct and the 4th dark world is in the church; the bagpiper could work as some sort of discarded instrument(broken church organ?), with the aforementioned soul modes still working due to the musical nature of the fight. the major could honestly work as any of the other colors, due to his bravery in trying to escape the prison, patience in convincing his fellow prisoners to help in said escape, and his integrity shown by him staying constantly focused and not giving up hope despite his odds (though i personally lean towards bravery since it is the most "martial" of the soul traits) p.s. do you think the soul modes are going to be determined by the order in which the human's items or by reversing the order of the genocide bosses, and what is your opinion on chess theory?

[@daniellejackson6543]

8:05 My oc is literally the major. My character known as the pawn is the leader as well as secret boss of the chapter 5 dark world. He strongly goes against fate as he wants Kris soul to be able to have choice and to stop the knight on his own. Not necessarily similar but he as a leader of people not aware of their prison he has to put a facade which slowly cracks due to pressure and opportunity for freedom provided by your soul. Their soul type is blue or integrity as they are an Important but mistreated item in the light world specifically an item in sans' shop which is the dark world location. The trait matches as integrity is honesty and he can't be honest about his feelings because his people will think he's crazy like the other secret bosses. He goes against the other secret bosses in different ways(despises jevil's denial of being free and spamton's reliance on others and a similar major lack of integrity as an advertising salesman) though it isn't relevant to the theory. He is like sans in undertale who thinks they can't stop you but the difference is that pawn tries to anyways like Spamton. Though Jevil is in acceptance so he refuses to try, he is in denial because he accepted his fate. Also because he is the dark world leader, during a weird route of sorts, he can build a mech like giga queen to stop you, except this time is much worse. The major attempting to break free can represent the pawn seeing the state of how and who created them(explaining a hatred for sans) as well as breaking free of the knight's control. He accepts that he can't break free but still places his hopes on kris to be happy as the one who truly understands their plight. Also Solis. If you know you know. Though he fights against fate rather than acceptance and dream but he IS a ballerina, so 1/2 points.

[@necrotia]

If we assume that the narrator at the beginning of Deltarune is Gaster, it's possible to imagine that the 6th and 7th characters represent Gaster/The Narrator from The Twilight Zone and the Player/Viewer. This interpretation arises from the similarity between Gaster and The Narrator as omnipresent entities who directly present intriguing stories for observation directly us the Viewer. The whole line of "...We will not end the nightmare, we'll only explain it..." reads a lot like a thing that Gaster would only say like in Entry 13 or Toby's Twitter "Hacks". Furthermore, both Deltarune and The Twilight Zone share the element of a liminal drug trip in their introductions. This parallel is notable as it sets the stage for both of their subsequent stories. It's interesting to note that the themes of "ANOTHER HIM" in Deltarune's introduction contain the Gaster Leitmotif, while The Twilight Zone's theme has been mentioned to sound similar to Gaster's Theme. inb4 the Player's Vessel and Gaster become optional superbosses for 310%-ing the game

Another interesting connection i thought of here is with the piper and the "old song that comes from the sea". Perhaps this is foreshadowing the boss based on the piper, who will play the song from the sea.

[@ValueNetwork]

The song from the sea is a entirely different can of worms theory wise. Don’t get me started on “Deltarune is the book of revelation from the Bible” theory (I’m not joking)

[@ZwynGotcha]

​@@ValueNetworkdo go on

[@raddarat8471]

This Is a great theory, if i had to Guess the Major could be Kris since Who else has watched all these secret bosses fail to reach Freedom but us and frisk, sure, Susie and Ralsei also saw them, but Susie didnt talk with spamton nor did She really get what was happening, meanwhile even if ralsei does know what Is happening he doesnt seem to try and fight It as much as Kris does Also Kris Sporting the look of a knight does fit the military theme of the major

[@thegnarledpirate9198]

The Major, if tied with the theory Chapter 3's boss is a cowboy, could actually make him the third boss.

[@CongregationGDReal]

So basically Chapter 4 is gonna be the ballerina and chapter 5 is the instrument guy odd though possibly because the chapter 5 boss might be someone trying to reach heaven and they actually do?

[@thealientree3821]

Honestly, I can connect the Ballerina to Woody since Woody broke his arm in Toy Story 2. And I think there may be a sort of tie in to the canceled show too... Them feeling grief, yet want to escape this purgatory. I think breaking the secret Boss' arm would be the way to end it... A severing that denies them access to Heaven. For them to realize they cannot move to the higher existence.

Great stuff, this and your last theory vid got a subscription from me! If you dont mind some constructive criticism though, perhaps you could talk a bit slower and focus on enunciation more in future videos? At times it can be pretty difficult to follow what you're saying.

[@MoonlitLillypop]

So six secret bosses for seven chapters? Although I will admit it's possible Seam himself will serve as the last secret boss. I guess you could make that fit but I think the Seam thing for other reasons

[@Quackervoltz]

[@Wewwers]

Rod Serling is Gaster

[@ValueNetwork]

I didn’t want to say it, so I’m glad you was brave for me

[@GeoCaesar]

I always forget that episodes of the twilight zone are freaky and/or miserable

[@pancakes8670]

If anyone hasnt seen the Twilight Zone, its really good. You'll be amazed by how much of our media has taken inspiration from it

[@BiomechanicalBrick]

one of the most memorable deltarune theories amazing video overall but the intro could be shorter 4:55 i also wonder if the game Pathologic was inspired by this

[@salemmarz3809]

i love weird theories like these

[@Someone-dy5ui]

You know, that might just make sense. Both that twilight episode and deltarune secret bosses might just be based on the same thing: nihilistic philosophers.

[@trevorfranks9390]

Cool that's my head cannon now

[@alexsssi1848]

What no new deltarune chapter for 2 years does to a man

[@rawquikh0ney710]

Can't wait for it to come out on sep or October

[@nirbanana013]

craziest? nah thats woody theory 😎

[@iris_drawssandwiches]

Deltarune did come from a dream maybe that's what caused the dream.

[@JudeEaley]

The twilight zone is a dark thing

[@galor6837]

This theory is fucking awesome

[@lumon_]

this is one of my fasvourite throies so far

[@therextwins1086]

Your next stop, the gaster zone XD.

[@КрутоусОстап]

That interesting, huh.

[@PrincePuppy611]

Holy shit there are alot of connections

[@Spamton123]

The one you thought was the chapter 5 one seems more like kris than anything

[@ZET_Tutoriales]

Interesting

[@NotSoTk]

Holy shit it's Zet Deltarune!

[@tripleconsonant]

IM SOLD THIS IS THE BEST

[@ef3353]

So it seems likely that tehy will climb out of the game and realize they arent real and GASTER will throw them back in

[@TheRealSuperKirby]

Dude I literally had a theory that toby fox was IRL chosen by God to warn people of an alien invasion coming You're gonna have to try a little harder than that for craziest deltarune theory

[@Quackervoltz]

Please expand

[@ShadowSkryba]

Bloody brilliant

[@chuckles2364]

Cool theory :)
