Jevil’s Insanity, EXPLAINED! (Deltarune / Undertale Theory)

Use code swanky20 for 20% off! A big thanks to Displate for sponsoring this video!

Jevil was one of the most bizarre characters we encountered in Deltarune (Undertale 2). The Jevil fight was certainly the most difficult thing we had to overcome, but does Jevil's theme "The World Revolving" from the Delta Rune ost hint at something larger? In this Deltarune theory, we'll be talking about how Jevil is the link between Deltarune and Undertale, and one of our mysterious acquaintances is to blame... It's a bit of a long one, but it'll all be explained!

Jevil is based as a joker card. The joker card can be used for everything. Jevil can do anything.

[stormyperson]

Technically, Jevil isn't the only Joker card. In Tarot decks, the colored Joker is known as The Magician in major arcana - like how Seam was the court magician. In addition, the colored Joker card usually beats the black-and-white joker card.

Jevil: I can do anything!
Me: Can you lick your elbow?
Jevil:Don't ruin the moment man.

I think chapter two just confirmed this. When u talk to some salesman after the Big Shot fight, they say the phone just made garbage noise. If you try to call someone in the dark world, you get Gaster noises that are labeled as garbage noise. Meaning Gaster must be talking to them individually

[fink_rat]

He's insane due to PTSD. *He tried to stop Rouxl from making mac and cheese and survived*

I have a theory: Jevil really is free.
Throughout Deltarune, it is made clear your choices don't matter. At the beginning, you create a character, only for it to be discarded. At home, it doesn't matter what you do, you are late for class. At school, no matter who you talk to, you are paired with Susie. In the Dark World, no matter who you SPARE, you will get the same ending. Those are just a few examples.
In the Dark World, no one has a real choice, either. Everyone is forced to fight you.

Where is the only places where your choices have an impact? The fight with Jevil.
Jevil's cell is the only place that allows things to have freedom of choice.

Written on a phone, sorry about any typos.

HOLY GOD, 500 LIKES????

[sinistermosh]

Notice how people in Deltarune are commonly saying "dark", "darker", "yet darker". That DEFINITELY relates to Gaster

[hungryburger]

Gaster: *exists and is found*
Theories: it's free real estate

To me Kris seems like a lifeless doll to. That the player is controlling him. That is why he doesn't react to Ralsei taking his hat off, getting fixed by the hammer, susie eating chalk, getting slammed into the locker, etc. The only few times he breaks this act is when Susie is about to be defeated he shields her, when he takes a few steps back from the closet in fear, when he bows to the king to help Lancer. In fear of the player taking anything from him, so he keeps his side of the room dull. When the leave the dark world, Kris has a object that he loves, if you press toss it will say

*You really don't want to toss it, toss it anyway?

or something like that. If you press yes it will say Kris is bitter. If you press no, Kris will be relieved.

Undertale: toby on drugs imagining monsters and talking flowers

Deltarune: toby getting into casinos, debts, and lost card games

This is a joke, but here:


Anything made by Toby Fox: Is mysterious
Everybody: W.D. GASTER IS THE KEY

"Darker, yet Darker."
- Shawn

"Darker, Darker, yet Darker."
-W.D Gaster

[minimighty]

“I can do anything!”
“Can you make the DVD screensaver hit the corner of the screen?”
“I can do…almost anything.”

[carterfamilyguydsaw]

Jevil: I can do anything!

Me:then why didn’t you teleport out of the cage?

Jevil:*starts sweating*

[GODofTimewaste]

This theory makes even more sense when you consider what the river person said: "Beware (of?) the man who speaks in hands". If interacting with him produces results like this, it would make sense for river person to warn about him

[risu]

Well he wasn't wrong, Spamton's backstory heavily implies that gaster is behind this.

[pixonett]

another thing that proves that the dark world isn't just imagination is the fact that after getting hit by the king in the dark world, susie's portrait changes to have a scar. then after leaving the dark world, you can still see the scar

[PancakeTheKat]

“Why Jevil is the bridge to undertale.”

Sans: *am I a joke to you?*

[beckyg]

5:22 “A nightmare will awaken in your hearts” At the end of chapter 1, Kris rips out his own heart, most likely after a nightmare. Not sure but this might be connected?
