Undertale Ost: 098 - Battle Against a True Hero

[pedropauloferraz]

Undetale ost 89: You're saving the world from a monster. Undertale ost 98: A monster is saving the world from you

Let's just remember that this woman burnt her house down trying to make spaghetti.

[katherinesmallbean]

Undyne sacrificed herself to save monster kid.

She also sacrificed her home to cook pasta.

I love the way in her old fights, she is talkative, and angry, and shows her big ego. However, in this fight, she is completely silent.

“The heroine appears” that’s toby actively telling you that you are the villain effectively without actually saying it

[kevinirmiter]

In a genocide run, the fight with Toriel is when you realize that you are a villain.

The fight with Undyne is when you realize that you are a final boss, ultimate evil level super villain.

[notionxl]

You know you're the villain when your enemy uses the power of friendship against you

1:55 i absolutely LOVE this final segment. that melody plays like SIX times, keeping up the energy. it describes the battle PERFECTLY. both of you should have died long ago but you keep the fight going and neither of you are gonna give up that easily

[vegeta]

Undyne, the only Genocide route boss that doesn't die in one hit!

[hannadang]

You'll always be the Protagonist, but you won't always be a Hero.

Edit: so this comment blew up, but a lot of people don’t understand what a protagonist is. By definition: the leading character or one of the major characters in a drama, movie, novel, or other fictional text.

[Supported-Characters]

Undyne is a true hero, she is willing to sacrifice herself to save the innocent and people she loves.

''Hearing that ZUN himself is going to arrange this OST fills you with DETERMINATION''

The way the Genocide run works in Undertale is really brilliant and what sets it apart from other games.

In Undertale, the Genocide wrong *feels* wrong. Not just because of the story, but because of the gameplay. It's not natural, it's inconvenient, it's not rewarding.

Running in circles to kill every monster isn't fun, and it will never happen naturally. The money you get doesn't matter because you can just steal everything from the empty shops. All bossfights but 2 become oneshots, totally unfun.

At every point the Genocide run feels like you're not supposed to play the game like this. In many games you kill thousands of enemies, in many games you can do evil shit and the NPCs will call you a monster.

But in Undertale, the gameplay itself makes you feel like what you're doing is wrong. The game becomes empty, in many ways it becomes an objectively worse game. The difficulty curve is completely thrown out the window, most fights become trivial and 2 are impossibly hard. The story largely vanishes. And while we all still did it, at some point I think we all asked ourselves: "Do I really want to do this?"

That's what sets Undertale apart from other games. Most games wouldn't dare to make the game worse on purpose like that, but Undetale does and it's brilliant.

when i showed my friend who doesn't yet have undertale, and told him it was called "battle _against_ a true hero", he was confused and said something like, "Against? Aren't you supposed to be the hero in this game?"

[moistmarsupial]

You know, this fight is actually really sad when you think about it. Undyne likely knows she's going to die regardless of whether she wins or loses (harnessing determination and whatnot), but stands her ground anyways to protect her friends and loved ones no matter the cost. This is her final stand; The culmination of one's entire mental, physical and spiritual journey leading up to this one moment of great sacrifice. Truly the most noble thing a person can hope to accomplish.

Of course, at the time, this emotion is vastly overshadowed by the fact that HOLY SHIT THIS FIGHT IS REALLY HARD. I don't think I struggled nearly as much on anything in neutral or pacifist as l did with this fight. Not even close, and I believe this was done on purpose.

You see in retrospect that, the reason the fight was so hard was because Toby wanted you to lose all sympathy for this character in the moment. You don't simply beat undyne the undying on your first try and be done with it. You have to detach yourself and BECOME the cold, heartless killer you set out to be whether you realize it or not.

I don't think I've ever seen such exceptional, layered writing in a video game before. This is why people love undertale. If nothing else then hey, at least the music is amazing, and that we can all appreciate.

[datmeme]

This is, in my opinion, the best song in the game. It's epic, it's emotional, and the last section is one of the best pieces of music in any game, ever.
7 years later, this song is as good as it always was.

[jopaq]

Undyne the Undying
She attac
She Protecc
But she don’t die in one whacc

[aronszabo]

Human: Kills Undyne
Undyne: *pulls out an uno reverse card* no u

[mourningpoet]

i always thought people were lying when they said music gave them chills.

guess i was wrong.

Gentlemen it's official. ZUN will do an arrangement of this theme and Toby Fox an arrangement for Flandre's theme, for the game danmaku kagura. We are living the best time line.
