Asgore Knows About Resets

If you enjoy Deltarune videos, then why not subscribe?

Asgore is one of the most interesting characters in Undertale and Deltarune, but I never see people talking about this aspect of his character. If you knew this then let me know in the comments because I swear nobody talks about it LOL

It made me appreciate Asgore's character more because he knew he had to fight every single human who fell down and reset every time they died until they gave up and decided to give up their soul after too many deaths.

* You tell ASGORE that he's killed you more times than you can count.
* He nods pitifully.

[Chickaen_Cannibal]

*Double fun fact:* after he kills you around 3-4 times it will changed from “he nodded sadly” to “he nodded grievously”. Pretty sad 😢

Can we talk about how papyrus literally says he hates when sans pranks people across time and space, meaning he is at least aware of the timeline being manipulated

[poppa]

Asgores theme is one of the greatest compositions ever. There is so much power and emotion behind his piece and it perfectly represents how he is a tragic hero.

[corerupted]

Asgore is so underrated that everyone forgot about that line and the fact that Asgore gave Alphys the human souls to save monsters that have "fallen down". He knows about the power of souls and their effect to preserve past death and how they can reset time but he does not understand it himself.

[TurnipBoy]

Tbh he's probably not fully aware of what's going on, but he knows that something along the line of resets happens, especially since Alphys is the royal scientist and is researching determination

Oh my god, this entire time I've seen asgores battle sprite as having a creepy eyeless smile and I was always super confused about it, but I just now saw his actual face in the sprite

[remordreemurr]

I always thought of it as Asgore remembering not past timelines, but the other humans, with guilt

[drascia]

This was one of the most heartbreaking lines. Bergentrückung always gets me super emotional. This whole fight is just... so fucking sad

[unnamedscribble-auttp]

i love how in other games, saving and resetting is just a normal thing, but toby did his thing and literally made it PART OF THE LORE

[The_Lunch_Man]

It's no surprise Asgore is so depressed, hes killed multiple children over and over until they each finally give up.

[GwynC]

When a random child rolls up, knows all your moves before you make them, counters them perfectly, and gives you the hardest fight of your extremely long life, you might be fighting against a time looper. You can only hope to frustrate them into giving up and dying for good.. which Asgore did. Multiple times. The fact that we can beat him out of all the others is a testament to the strength of our vessel; of Frisk.

Toriel remembers your favorite cake flavor every reset so she says she already had a feeling you would choose that flavour

LETS TALK ABOUT TEMMIE REAL QUICK. Temmie Armor originally costs 9999G, but the price lowers every time you die. There’s NO dialogue option that lets you tell Temmie about ur time powers (obviously), YET TEMMIE STILL KNOWS WHEN YOU DIE AND RELOAD. TEMMIE KNOWS ABOUT RELOADS, AND IM PRETTY SURE THEY REMEMBER THEM. The only other people that canonically remember reloads are determined beings. Also, if u interact with the save point at Temmie Village, it’s the only save point (that I know of) that doesn’t fill you with determination, it fills you with detemmination instead. TEMMIES PRETTY MUCH CANONICALLY HAS THEIR OWN VERSION OF DETERMINATION (or at least just the shop keeper does).
EDIT: at this point at least 10 people have replied to this comment saying that Temmie is based on Temmie (the developer) and I’m saying I KNOW. it’s just cool from a lore perspective.

Many Undertale fans don't realize just how powerful Asgore really is.

[iang]

When you think about it, Asgore didn't just beat down the other humans, he beat them so hard he made them give up and that's how they got captured.

[InternalChickens]

I think Papyrus "knows" too, but he doesn't actually _know, _ he just remembers random stuff and has a feeling about it. At one of the neutral routes, I think when you save only Sans and Papyrus, he says something about wanting you to bring back his friends. He's not directly saying to reset, but he is asking you to do something about it, which means he probably knows you can do something about it.

[CrimsonHybrid]

It's just a bunch of pixels, but his sad smile when he turns to face you in that corridor always gets me.

[syrap]

My personal interpretation of this line was that Asgore knows about the ability humans have from Alphys or someone so that its more that he’s just heard about the ability and believes you, but doesnt actually know when they reset.
