Does Toriel Forgive Asgore at The End of UNDERTALE? Undertale Theory | UNDERLAB

Does everyone get to enjoy a happy ending at the end of UNDERTALE's true pacifist route? It seems that Asgore finds life unbearable without his beloved Toriel. Whether these two former lovebirds get back together is somewhat left up to interpretation, however. UNDERLAB looks at four convincing pieces of evidence that suggest the two are reunited by the end of the game!

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...

That moment you realized Toriel and Asgore named their kid after there ship name. Asriel ASgore+toRIEL

[nintendoboy]

Underlab: *Calls Papyrus not cool*


Papyrus fans: Peace was never an option.

[hunnysenpai]

I ship this so hard. I really, really hope they do end up back together. I don't understand Soriel, it's weird to me.

SANS IS NOT IN LOVE WITH TORIEL THAT IS A RUMOR. JUST BECAUSE A GIRL AND A BOY ARE FRIENDS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND, GEEZ!

[minorinsomniac]

Toriel X Asgore is one of my two favorite ships for undertale, the other being Alphys X Undyne.

"Papyrus isn't very cool."
Boom. Did you hear that? That, my friend, is the sound of hundreds of Papyrus fans blowing up in anger.

[Underlab]

Do you think Toriel forgives Asgore by the end of the game? Let me know! Maybe Asgore secretly has a crush on the Snowdin shopkeeper? Who knows...

[WobblesandBean]

I like to think they reconciled. Asgore's story is so damned depressing, he needs a happy ending ._.

[justanotherlazytrashpanda]

Honestly, if toriel heard what asgore said when you almost kill him, I think she would understand why he did what he did

[cardamomcoffeebean]

I like to think that Toriel and Asgore are still at least friends.

[missobvious]

the sans+toriel thing makes me a mad dummy...

[yourgonnahaveabadtime]

Has nobody watched the whole of the credit ending I mean think about it asgore is working with Toriel at her school he is trimming a bush in the shape of papyrus' face of course she forgives him

[Armydillo]

You considered Papyrus uncool. Your argument is therefore invalid.

[HexanDecimal]

Tweet from Toby Fox: "I guess begrudged pity is a kind of relationship yea"

Implies that Toriel felt bad enough to work with Asgore but not enough to actually love him again.

[kerfrizz]

DID YOU JUST SAY PAPYRUS WAS NOT VERY COOL.
WHAT THE-
HE IS LITERALLY THE COOLEST.

[madamenepnep]

anybody else want asgore and toriel to get back together or is it just me?

[paperplate]

Tbh I just don't ship Sans with anyone sense it wouldn't work out anyway xD Why you may ask?
Sans has no lips. No reproductive organs, and Toby states he is to lazy to be in a relationship

[saucyben]

5:56 How. Fucking. Dare. You. The Great Papyrus is the greatest and most magnificent monster.

[jonquilgemstone]

I assumed they never officially divorced. I feel like she just up and left.
This couple is practically immortal. I'd say it's high time they had their first real fight.

Oh, and I saw it coming when Asgore was revealed as her husband. The parallel houses, and all that.

Edit: Plus, I think their mutual love of Frisk as their child could bond them again, especially since it seems Frisk would form a special connection with Asgore (when you pick the flower tea in Undyne's house, for instance, she compares Frisk to him). That might help Toriel remember that Asgore is not evil, the husband and father he was, and perhaps even why she fell in love with him in the first place.

(P.S. Underlab, why do you question the love for a goat and a skeleton, but not for a fish and a lizard/dinosaur?)
