Who Became ASGORE's Heir After Asriel Died? Undertale Theory | UNDERLAB

My Patreon: / underlab
A video explaining why I use Patreon and why I'd so massively appreciate it if you'd like to contribute: • My Last Ever Video? UN...
A question that's left slightly open ended after the end of UNDERTALE is who exactly became the heir apparent! With Asriel dead, who's left to fill the role? Admittedly, Asgore has things covered... for the time being, that is! What would happen were he to resign or pass away? Someone else would take over, but it's a question of narrowing down who. UNDERLAB finds out!
"Determination" Orchestrated: • Determination (Regal) ... by King Mel
Underlab explores the secrets and obscurities of UNDERTALE, that game everyone seems obsessed with. There's a lot of said secrets and obscurities. Like, a lot. It also showcases and explains the lore and story of the game in an attempt to explain, clarify, and perhaps even discover completely new stuff...

[@KingMusicalMel]

I'm glad this is simply a theory! After all, I'm the King of Monsters? Look, here's a picture of myself and Asriel! prnt.sc/evp7kf Here's the track I wrote for myse-.. Ehm, for Asgore's Determination.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5bZpYJjgpd-aK8

[@redskyharbinger]

King Mel its a nice theory thou. you may be the king after Asgore anyways XD

[@vortexcycle2317]

King Mel well my king as your royal guard all I can do is agree with you by the way papyrus didn't show up for his daily royal guard training I'm slightly worried about him

[@MrAlex-ej8ov]

Sounds GREAT!

[@kaylah5710]

+King Mel yea your the king 👑

[@sansisthebest6127]

King Mel cool and arsome

[@drxo146]

I have a question about Temme,how does he know your dying because the "TEMME AORUMR" price goes down every time you die...

[@primsine]

Temmie knows ALL

[@arandomuser1392]

Well, I wouldnt be surprised if Temmie ended up taking part in creating the Undertale world with the Dog for the game canon...

[@polterghast12]

temmie and toby are the creators so she is technically a know it all being

[@arandomuser1392]

daniel kudla yup

[@AntiFaGoat]

There are characters who can remember little things if you don't do a true reset. Like how Toriel can remember if you prefer butterscotch or cinnamon. Maybe Temmie has a similar deja vu sort of feeling looking at you or can see that you're tired from dying and re-loading over and over again. Timey-wimey-witty-pity.

[@patrickramseyart]

What about Frisk? If they were adopted by Toriel (and possibly Asgore), would that count as being an heir? I wouldn't know. :p

[@DocWyldeCard]

That thought had occurred to me as well, but being seemingly only 10 yr. old at most in the game's canon the kid probably wouldn't be able to handle such responsibility, nor have the experience required. Also, if one chooses to have Frisk become the ambassador, Frisk couldn't take over in a ruling position.

[@Bar-Kun]

not being able to be the heir but being able to withstand not shitting their pants: a giant goat lady that says she will adopt them and then shoots fireballs at them a skeleton that uses giant skulls to shoot lazer beams in rapid succession a lesbian spear spamming fish a robot that was litterally made for murdering humans and a flower on steroids infused with body parts and mechanical parts that does pretty every bizzare thing you can think of oh and also be the ambassedor of humans and monsters

[@DocWyldeCard]

Fair point. Frisk was indeed extremely brave, no doubt. What I had meant was experience in having that much responsibility: an entire kingdom--perhaps hundreds, maybe even thousands of citizens--and being the sole leader of all of them. Needing to be able to lead them in times of trouble, or reign in those who got out of line...Frisk I would doubt had any know-how on such matters.

[@tomatefrito5260]

Chara seems a good option They were far more "intelectual" than both Frisk and Asriel, as seem is their plan to get the souls, helping along in the game as the narrator and in their speech at the end of genocide route too They were even called "the hope of humans and monsters" The problem is, though they are smart, Chara is still a child(a very playful one in the pacifist route) with a lot of issues by being abused by the humans, their rule could be as dangerous to humankind as neutral route's Undyne Thanks to Frisk thought they may be able to rule now without these issues if they ever choose to"Hey mom hey king dad im back!"

[@tomatefrito5260]

Talking about Frisk, they become the ambassor of monsters if you choose so in the true pacifist, not only Asgore - Toriel adopted children so they in fact are in the sucession line now

[@joshk.8333]

I personally always thought, if it was after a True Pacifist ending, that Frisk would take over, if Asgore suddenly didn't want to be king anymore, since they're the ambassador of monsters. Just my opinion though

[@lilfizz1619]

Yeah, or Asgore and Toriel could adopt Frisk as their child, making them next in line?

[@joshk.8333]

Ah yeah, that'd make sense too.

[@arandomuser1392]

technically, Asgore is not the king anymore once they passed the barrier, as he seemed to just want to live happily on the surface

[@vikingfromnorth45]

We'll they would outlive frisk since asriel died and was reborn as a flower.

[@JohnLover1179]

Or Papyrus.

[@Underlab]

I don't think I'd be ready for the duty of king of monsters! What do you think? Do you agree, or do you think someone else would claim the title? Let me know! Also, THANK YOU to my Patrons! Thanks to them, I'm able to keep going--now to ride out the storm of people falsely accusing my previous video of being 'clickbait'...

[@powerthunfischdesdonners3086]

papyrus is nice, but i dont thing he is a good king. he could break him or even worse

[@windowsxp1902]

HOW DO YOU GET THAT BEAUTIFUL ENDING I WILL DO ANYTHING

[@powerthunfischdesdonners3086]

kill anyone else who could be on the throne

[@cofeespear4992]

[@finnj.1786]

It was the first ending I got

[@stephenthomson3120]

"Undyne would be quite content with her lover's brains on the throne..." I hope she would be even more contented with the rest of her there as well.

[@sully1721]

Im so happy that Underlab actually uploaded another vid :D

[@miamafalda1118]

Heres my ideas: The first idea that popped into my mind was that Undyne or Alphys would be next in line after the Dreemurs, considering their "government" positions. However, afterwards I started to think: What about Gerson? He was the Leader of the Royal Guard before Undyne, which means that he would probably be next in line before her. Another possibility could be Gaster, if he was still alive because he was the Royal Scientist before Alphys. And if that is so, and Gaster would have inherited the throne, but since he doesn't exist (or whatever tf happened to him), his heir would be Sans, if you follow the "Gaster is Sans/Papyrus' Dad" or "Gaster Created Sans/Papyrus" theories because Sans would be his oldest son, and as you stated, typically the oldest son inherits the throne. Unless Sans is too lazy, in which case Papyrus would be next. This even seems far fetched, but maybe even Frisk could be the heir, even though they aren't a monster. We know that Chara (the first fallen human) was treated like the King and Queen's own child, even though not biologically related, so it is possible that they could have been given the throne if they were still alive. However, Frisk is the next closest thing the Monsters have to Chara, and we know that Toriel (and even Asgore) treated them like their own child through many parts of the game, and by the end of the pacifist ending they are well-liked by many of the monsters in the underground. So maybe, it could be possible that Frisk could inherit the throne. This is far fetched though, because they are a different race, and usually a native of the region you are in would inherit the throne. I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts!

[@pendantperuke9440]

But what would Frisk be called the king or queen or what

[@BillehBawb]

Is there any deeper meaning to you using "So sorry"s theme for the patreon plug?

[@Umayrica]

Sure, Toriel was disgusted by Asgore's killing, but she was more disgusted for the fact that Asgore waited for the humans to fall, instead of getting one human soul, passing the barrier and getting seven human souls.

[@DarkRelm22]

Hey KingMel, Thank you for the beautiful music! :3

[@zekr0gen921]

B-but... A Boss Monster may not age unless their own child ages... I guess you're talking about if they got killed.

[@Underlab]

Yes, or if he resigned! I'm sure ruling monsterkind for centuries would get tedious...

[@oceanowen6308]

8:16 "Or maybe +King Mel could simply take charge." *claps* No. I'm dead serious. I actually clapped when you said that.

[@oceanowen6308]

Actually, speaking of King Mel, I'm surprised he hasn't commented yet, or at least hasn't been pinned yet. Early bird gets the worm, I guess.

[@EndertheDragon0922]

What chaos would consume the Underground if a certain evil, villainous monster took over? You all know who I'm talking about. Jerry.

[@fakesans1690]

[@azkabaz]

It's nice to see that Underlab has managed to post us another video, even with the whole KZbin crisis! :) Your patron supporters are awesome!

[@Yatsurask]

haven't you already said loads of times that the monster's only due when they have a child meaning asgore shouldn't die of natural causes

[@lilfizz1619]

He could still die of like a freak accident or murder (though the latter seems unlikely)

[@arandomuser1392]

The monsters age if they have a child. Im pretty sure that every monster child ages ip to a point where they are adults, and then go into their elder years once their own children reaches certain ages

[@lilfizz1619]

Yeah, boss monsters age like normal BEFORE they have a kid, and it's only if they have a kid and THEN it dies does the ageing stop

[@arandomuser1392]

Nicola Gerrard Yea, I guess so, at least for Toriel and Asgores case, I dont know what would happen if e.g Undyne had a child tho...

[@lilfizz1619]

Undyne isn't a boss monster, so if she had a kid, she and the kid would age at the same rate as a human. The weird ageing rules don't apply to her

[@amygilchrist4495]

[@Ponera-Sama]

Questions like the one in the title are a good subject to discuss when you're out of material. It isn't likely that Asgore would even need a heir, being that his species never age, so the possibility of him dying is limited, unless you count Flowey. However, this fact combined with the original question brings another question: what happened to Asgore's parents? It is only logical to assume his parents were the same type of monster as he is, meaning they too do not age. Then what happened to them? Did humans kill them? Was the Asgore-esque figure in the intro actually Asgore's father?

Boss monsters (i.e. Toriel, Asgore) are born to be royalty, I mean that age doesn't effect them unless they have a heir to the throne. Meaning, they will only die if you kill them, or if theres an heir and they get too old.
