Hey lovely people!
Before we get into the whole “PREPARE YOURSELF” of this video, you’re probably wondering
why there’s a story you never knew on DeltaRune when we just did a Story You Never Knew on..DeltaRune.
Well, it turns out that even after finishing up the game, my brain decided it wasn’t
done.
Some things just..didn’t add up.
AND IT’S NOT CUZ I’M BAD AT MATH!
This game just has something strange happening within it.
Besides that crazy ending that none of us were expecting, talk about heartburn amiright?
But besides that, there’s something else going on here.
A mystery at the edge of the surface, just waiting to be found.
A missing piece to the puzzle that explains our entire journey in a more...interesting
way.
So if you’re ready to ditch everything you thought you knew about DeltaRune and start
anew then PREPARE YOURSELF!
(See, told you it was coming) For a Story you already knew to blow your muking mind!
Grab your brain out of your brain hole, throw it in a dumpster and then dive back in and
get it out!
Because we’re about to explode everyone’s heads with what’s actually happening in
the story of DeltaRune.
It’s not just fun and games anymore...or is it?
Foreshadowing or not, this is the story of DeltaRune, the story you never knew!

Let’s get back to it.
In the intro I made some pretty big claims, mainly that DeltaRune’s story can be explained
even further beyond what I said in our original Story You Never Knew.
Explained in ways never before thought possible.
The basics of DeltaRune are that our character, Kris, and the school bully/chalk eater, Susie
somehow get dropped into another dimension or plane of existence that is essentially
a dark land.
We’re “Lightners” and the inhabitants of this land are “Darkners” and the king
of the land wants to kill us because Lightners suck, but that’s just his opinion.
Personally, I think he’s being a bit, crass and closed minded about the whole thing and
possibly playing into some classic racist tendencies, but that’s just me..and the
NAACP.
After many playful shenanigans and fun battles, we eventually make our way to the castle,
fight and beat the king in one way or another, and leave through the Darkness Fountain located
at his castle.
Along the way we meet Ralsei, the Prince from the Dark, and Lancer, the King’s son, both
of which help us get home.
Now there’s been a lot of videos discussing what happens in DeltaRune, the ending, how
DeltaRune relates to Undertale, and others, but many people are overlooking what’s possibly
the most important thing to iunderstanding the entire game: The Legend of DeltaRune.
Just a small ways into the game Ralsei, cloaked up like the ferryman of Undertale, gives us
the low down on the Legend.
Apparently there’s some balance to the world, the “world” is in all caps, that’s how
you know its important by the way, and it’s balanced between light and dark.
This is pretty similar to our own world, we do have that whole giant ball of gas that’s
like our interstellar neighbor down the galactic block.
Anyway, if this balance was ever broken, a terrible calamity would occur.
What that calamity is, we don’t know, but it would make the sky black and break the
ground and other bad stuff.
Essentially the world is going to die if light and dark are not in balance, and only once
the world breaks do the three heroes appear.
And that’s us!..
Supposedly.
The Human, the Monster, and the Prince from the dark.
Only these three can seal the fountains and banish Angel’s Heaven.
Now if you’re like me, when you saw this scene you had a mild aneurysm.
Angel’s Heaven?
What?
What is Angel’s Heaven?
Is it that sigil in the middle of the fountain?
What does it do?
We don’t get any of these questions answered, the Legend only says, “the world will be
restored”, and then lets us know that the Fountain of Darkness is in the center of the
land, at the castle by the looks of things, and that it gives this land its shape.
However there’s a new fountain on the horizon, and the new fountain is messing stuff up!!!
But what does all this mumbo jumbo mean?
Let’s do a bit of analysis on this Legend before we move on.
First off, the new fountain that’s messing with Dark Land is almost certainly a Light
Fountain.
This world is created from a Dark Fountain, so it’s not likely another dark fountain
would mess up a dark land, and secondly, the three heroes banish “Angel’s Heaven”.
I don’t know about you but to me Angels and Heaven are always aligned with Lightness,
not dark.
So if we’re banishing Angel’s Heaven, the tropes of Light and Dark are being swapped
right here.
Dark is good, Light is bad.
Now let’s talk about the three heroes.
According to this Legend, there’s a human, a monster, and a prince from the dark.
We got the human and monster just fine but the prince from the dark...what proof is there
of Ralsei being a prince?
We literally have none.
This is extremely concerning to me especially considering the one other main character in
the game.
His name is Lancer, he talks like this and oh, He’s a PRINCE FROM THE DARK!!!
His dad is the king, ergo he’s a prince.
And they’re darkners.
Not to mention the reveal of Ralsei being a girl at the very end of the game.
I haven’t heard of any girl princes, have you?
So my other question is, who the blue glazed donuts is Ralsei really?
I don’t know, but I bet it comes into play heavily during the next chapter.
Honestly this entire legend wouldn’t freak me out so much except for this one little
fact.
Also you would think someone along this journey would say something about the world ending
or the fact that a human, monster and prince from the dark are together just like in the
legend, or anything referencing the fact that there’s another fountain in this land.
But there isn’t.
We never even see that second fountain.
We don’t even acknowledge the Legend after it’s told.
All we do is return home.
Ralsei, who told us the Legend, doesn’t even stop us from leaving.
Wouldn’t you expect a line something along the lines of “Oh um..I know you want to
go home and all but..
W-we still need to banish the Heaven’s Angel”.
But nope.
Nothing like that.
The legend isn’t acknowledged at all after we first hear it.
It didn’t make any sense to me from a plot standpoint.
So I said to myself, “It’s ok me, it’s only the first chapter, let’s just get a
better idea of the land we’re dealing with, maybe understanding the setting will help
me understand the legend.”
So let’s take a look at the Dark Land.
It’s filled with odd creatures.
Not monsters...more like personified inanimate objects.
The ponman for example, are just pawns from a chess board.
The C.round is just a checker piece and it literally reaches the end of the checkers
board, gets “kinged” and then becomes stronger.
Lancer is a spade.
The shopkeeper is a stuffed animal with a button eye.
The tutorial pieces are puzzle pieces, we run into a rook and a bishop from chess, there’s
lego block enemies, there’s a character named Rouxls Kaard...Rules Card, and even
the lore of the land according to our stuffed shopkeep is that there were 4 kings, but now
3 are locked up and only 1 remains.
Now I don’t know about you, but there’s only one thing I know that has 4 kings..a
deck of cards.
“Ok”, I thought to myself.
So Toby likes games a lot, he’s using games for his inspiration for this world.
But the more I thought about it, the more signs I saw pointing that this wasn’t the
case.
No, this world isn’t just inspired by games, it’s completely created by games.
Listen to what the shopkeeper has to say about Lightners.
“Long ago the darkners lived in harmony with the Lightners.They were like Gods to
us.
Our Protectors.
Our Creators.
Those who gave us purpose.
Then one day we were all locked away in this prison...and the Lightners never returned.”
Do you see what he is describing?
These people, these animated game pieces are just that.
Games!
They were created by us, by people, and then they were put away in a supply cabinet, hence
being locked in a dark prison and why they are called “darkners”.
We gave them purpose.
The entire story of DeltaRune, the play through of the Dark Land, It may all just be us playing
pretend.
Look at what happens when we finally get out of the fountain!
We’re surrounded by cards, a checkerboard, pawn pieces, a stuffed animal, everything
we saw within the game.
I’m almost sad to say, it seems like they were really all just objects from our mother’s
classroom.
But..if none of it happened, why does Susie act like she does?
And why do we have this creepy Chara ending?
These are the things we’re going to find out in the following chapters.
But one thing is certain.
The Legend Ralsei spoke of doesn’t seem to be happening.
No one else seems to know about it.
The world isn’t crumbling despite the three heroes being together.
In fact the Shopkeeper actually laughs at us being the “heroes” who are going to
seal “our fountain”, the darkners’ fountain.
No mention of 2 fountains at all.
Now this could all be revealed as something more intricate in the following chapters.
We could absolutely be going in between two planes of existence, one where toys are sentient
like in Toy Story and the other is the real world.
But it seems to me like there’s a much larger plot at work here.
Based on the ending, I’d say we are going to be playing in two worlds, Light and Dark,
but not as it’s been presented to us.
We will get to control Kris during the Light, the day, and we get to watch helplessly as
Chara does what they will in the Dark, the night.
Notice that Chara comes out at night.
Both day and night obviously occur in the real world.
The Lightners’ world.
Why else would Chara keep a cage in a wagon?
It’s to bring our soul around with them as they destroy the Lightners’ world.
Chara must need to keep our soul close to them for some reason or another, otherwise
why keep it in something mobile?
Lancer and the Dark Kingdom isn’t the true story behind DeltaRune.
It’s too blatantly obvious the entire Dark World was made from games in our mother’s
classroom.
But that Legend, even though it doesn’t seem important to the Dark World we play through,
it’s obviously crucial.
It’s the title of the game!
The legend of DELTARUNE.
I believe we’re going to be fighting with a monster and a Prince from the dark in the
real world, against an imbalance between light and dark: Chara.
But when we talk about light and dark in the real world, it’s not Lightners and Darkners,
it’s the day and night.
The time we control Kris versus the time Chara is in control.
This is the true story of DeltaRune, the balance that must be kept between our actions during
the day, and Chara’s at night.
Chara is the manifestation of the consequences when light and dark are out of balance.
The first chapter wasn’t even the beginning.
It was merely to give us the information behind the legend, only to have us forget about it
by never mentioning it again.
But this legend is important.
Not for the Dark World inhabited by inanimate, game objects, but for our world.
That’s the true tale behind DeltaRune’s Chapter 1.
A misleading adventure weaved into a dire prophecy for the real world.
A warning of what’s to come.
That’s the story of DeltaRune, The story you never knew….again.
And...that’s my updated take on DeltaRune.
Chara is a creepy guy and they’re only gonna get creepier.
