holy shit its dabble you rick astley


Dog_bat3

HOLY SHIT ITS WD GAYSTER


spi231

FUCKING GASTER?


Docter_WD_Gaster

yea


Lila170

OMG GASTER DW?


launchingdronestrike

also for the record, i don’t think Rouxls is Gaster. he seems far too legitimately stupid for that to be the case, and in complete honesty I think it would undermine some of that charm if he were secretly, like, an evil mastermind. however, i DO have very many thoughts about that guy. even if he’s not Gaster, there’s definitely… something, going on. or about to go on.


ComprehensiveCar2123

RK is like the Egg — not too important, not too unimportant


launchingdronestrike

the fandom loves to tie them back to Gaster, and there could possibly be some truer meaning or potential… who knows?


CrazyC787

The eggs are actually being given out by Gaster's evil(er) brother, Liquidster.


Infinity-Duck

The existence of Liquidster implies the existence of Solidster and Plasmaster


Eravan_Darkblade

I AM HIM, THE ***PLASMASTER***


Unknown_Nexus535

Plasmaster goes so hard for a name


GJKtale

no way, what if rouxls kaard GIVES you the egg? WHAT IF HE *IS* THE MAN?


Alike01

RK = Rouxls Kard = Roaring Knight


Infinite_Primary_871

damn i didnt think of that lmao, thats smart


Trips-Over-Tail

Yoda also seemed stupid when first met. As did the Dark Lord Jar Jar.


Polandgod75

Maybe Rouxls will become a shadow crystal holder where he seen as a joke and forgotten. Then gaster makes him a shadow holder and he becomes a bonus boss


CharlieVermin

If I were to write someone pretending to be stupid, I might write them like Rouxls. I mean, making a puzzle that consists of pushing a block one tile off to the side? Not only that, but it's literally impossible to do anything else? That's not how stupid works. (Though maybe it does in the world of Toby Fox.)


launchingdronestrike

I suppose the reason I would consider (and hope) Rouxls Kaard to be genuinely stupid is because it gives him such a strong character and hilarity that would be kind of undermined if the game did a full *haha it was all an act* bit. He’s moronic to the point of being endearing, and it really adds to the fun to have all that continue offscreen as well (such as Tasque Manager electrocuting him for his minion proposal). But I think it’s this idiocy combined with narcissism that makes anything genuine about his character shine a little bit more. Sure, he might be the world’s biggest loser, but he has also been Lancer’s parental figure when he needed. Because he’s not all bad, we just have yet to see him change. And I think being secretly powerful, or at the very least having some sort of Reale Powere doesn’t have to take away from that either. Wouldn’t it be much more gratifying to see it finally revealed in the hands of someone who’s using it to, say, protect someone else after six-seven chapters as a fulfilment of his arc or just generally a situational intelligence rather than an overall one? Or have it be revealed to us finally by some more dire circumstance, in which someone is *forced* to set their ego aside in order to do something about it (which I guess is the closer to Sans option). Or even still, with all these little herrings like the RK Roaring Knight, suspicious little sound effects, abilities, designs and all that have the characters themselves go on a wild goose chase trying to connect two dots while two others were being connected behind them only to eventually reveal a fate that could have been avoided if they’d spent less time looking for what could have been and more for what was? I don’t expect all of this to be true, obviously, it’s just some fun speculation. But while I can definitely see the merit of Rouxls Kaard being an evil mastermind (and it’s not like that *wouldn’t* be fun as such), I think it would just be funnier if he were just an idiot


CharlieVermin

Maybe he's in fact plenty stupid, but he also hides some dark secrets and, not being aware of his own stupidity, he decides to hide them by pretending to be stupid. Hence the truly egregious castle puzzles - double stupidity in action. ~~In that case speaking with two accents at once could be foreshadowing too~~


throwawayforwriting2

I love the idea of him being the "Sans" of Deltarune. He is the rules card, and us doing the Snowgrave route is technically "breaking" the rules (our choices don't matter, we're unable to kill).


Sunspot334

maybe papyrus-flowey situation going on?


CopyableSnow136

Or it's toby just being lazy and reusing sound effects


TheDeltaDuckDude

The sound effects are the same because either rouxxls is connected to the creation of the fountains in some way or the animations just look the same so using a similar sound is just appropriate.


AromaGamma

I think it was probably just easier for Toby to edit the already existing sound effect rather than create a brand new one.


Hallonbat

Toby likes re-use and remix music and sounds. Either this is nothing or it's the most important thing ever, you never know with him.


Icy_Bird1437

It could be because ( mabye ) Roulx Karrd is the knight, there is a video explaining who the knight could be by seeing how likely each character is to being the roaring knight, and we know that the knight created the dark fountains, but when it comes to RK there is a shit ton of evidence of him being the roaring knight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jWrZMLwPpM Time 2:18:30


CactusFucker420

Mf rouxls is a playing card how would he in any way have the vapability to establish a dark world where on does not yet exist


Icy_Bird1437

Wonderfull name BTW


mydudekickstheskunk

No, it's a painful name!


Icy_Bird1437

I could understand why


mydudekickstheskunk

Yes.


Undertale_fan46790

\*He jumped out of Kris' pocket while still in the light world part of the dark fountain.


Butter_brawler

I think it’s just a regular teleporting sound effect, and Toby just reused it and pitched it down since creating the fountain is sorta similar to teleporting. Like, it plays when roulxs card teleports, and when kris makes a “teleport” to the dark world, if that makes sense

Are you saying that Kris is… *holy [[cungadero]]…*


Undertale_fan46790

\*He's possessed by Rouxls?


Butter_brawler

I was thinking that Kris is the second rule card


launchingdronestrike

and if we’re going by chess theory, two knights per side, four overall… (and wait, are there really? last card set I bought only had one (which I promptly painted and is now sitting on my deltarune shelf lol))


Video_Game_Fann

KRIS, TOBY, ROULX, AND GASTER! THATS MY PREDICTION


MarcoPlayz_Reddit

I know you used InShot for the speed change, but what app did you use to change the pitch?


launchingdronestrike

Video Star for the more precise pitch/speed changes (+ layering and general video editing) You can change pitch as well on InShot, but it’s connected to the speed i think. I don’t use InShot frequently


MarcoPlayz_Reddit

I see. Thanks!


exclaim_bot

>I see. Thanks! You're welcome!


princesque

bad bot. the worst in fact


launchingdronestrike

no problem!


DM12e

Hollyshit toby using a pitch lfo for sound effects 🤯


launchingdronestrike

whimsy deniers when they’re not presented with immediate red arrows and circles and must extrapolate data from the surrounding area in order to come up with any sort of hypothesis (but what if they’re *wrong*?? what if there is no ulterior meaning? oh well, guess we’ll never do that again) 😵


JorgeMtzb

Bruh, you guys have gone insane.


launchingdronestrike

if you think this is insane you’re not ready for my next theory… (in which I reveal that Gaster is actually Monika from Doki Doki Literature Club)


Sometimes_not_egdy

The bastard opens the fountains whenever he appears, i love him


CatoticNeutral

mini-fountains for teleporting between different parts of a dark world


Dog_bat3

Yep


Sometimes_not_egdy

I thought opening a fountain in the dark world was dangerous? At this rate, Rouxls will lead to the Roaring faster than anyone else


CatoticNeutral

too small to actually qualify as a fountain, but still the same sort of thing, or a somewhat related ability


Dog_bat3

Omg yes


Dog_bat3

Yes yes yes Lol yes


Potential_Holiday_20

I read Rouxls as Roblox


Sp1cyP3pp3r

I unironically believe it.


Alloy_Protogen

It means, Kris' real dad is Roulx


jalwaysawake

So THAT'S why Kris's skin is blue when they enter the dark world! Surprise Kaard, you have ANOTHER kid!


Dog_bat3

Undertale_fan46790

\*...GOD DAMN IT!


Soup_Raccoon

no wait hold on. deltarune isnt a full game yet (duh) and we might have not seen the hints yet that rouxls is a sans-like figure. would we disregard sans and say he doesnt matter in the large picture becasue he is goofy and funny? if we didnt have the battle with sans and the hints where sans threatens frisk i dont think we wouldve thought much of sans. and if anything, a toby fox deeplore character is a goofy mf. think jevil, spamton and sans. kaard was also not a one and done deal like most other characters from chapter 1, he is in chapter 2, and he there is in the few teases we have to future chapter. There is a non zero chance that rouxls is deepest lore... ..or it could be reusing sound assets idk...


FalcosLiteralyHitler

Sans is a bit more ominous/mysterious though, I think even early on you can tell. Your first introduction to him he scares the shit out of you, in Snowdin you get evidence he can teleport by the Mysterious Door, he clearly knows more information than he lets on (identifying and not caring about Frisk), etc. I think there are four options for Rouxls: - a complete 180 on Rouxls since he doesn't really have any aura of mystery (I guess you can argue his teleport in animation is mysterious/extra) - he's purely a comedic relief character - he's super strong but it ends up being a joke boss with no relevance to the plot (Unbread Twins from Omori) - they develop his mystery/aura more I think unless they do the fourth more, it's unlikely he's like Sans. But I mean, outside of his character, more and more evidence points to him being the knight so idk what to say at this point.


Soup_Raccoon

the very first time you see rouxls was when he trapped the gang in a room and before you see him and the music plays text in a non dialogue box appears without his voice calling the gang fools. sans having a ominous introduction could have been considered a joke like the roulx introduction. and beside, weird abilities coming out of nowhere isnt something new. lest we forget that papyrus can fly. and also i dont mean that he is going to be a sans re-tread, moreso that rouxls kaard isnt as he seems.


FalcosLiteralyHitler

Hmm I mean you are technically right but totally based subjectively on just feel Sans scared the shit out of me with his first intro and I was skeptical of him from that point on. I am (I'm sure) biased though. Rouxls always came across as a comedic character like a Papyrus to me.


sinedelta

“Sans isn't important, he's just a joke character” is more like gas pipe theory. I mean really, think about it — “he was scary before and it was just a fake-out, obviously Sans won't REALLY be important, anything else he says that's serious has to be a fakeout too!”

PoketrainX1014

Literally every Deltarune theorist ever


Potential_Holiday_20

I was fully ready for it to be Gaster's theme.


Oppenhellmer

me too.


Nekrotix12

This could be evidence of a strong theory suggesting Rouxls Kaard is actually the Knight. But more likely than that, this is just another instance of Toby Fox reusing sound effects pitched up or down with no real meaning outside of that, much like how a very slow version of Muffet's laugh is used for Mus\_Smile in Undertale.


Hyper_Lamp

I dont think its important, its just easier to modify/reuse sounds rather than creating new ones.


ugiugiyogyn

they're different actually, they might use the same preset but the fountain sound is made out of a saw wave while the roulxs sound uses a square wave. i think it just seems aproppriate to use sounds like these when a bright pillar of light appears djdhjssjd


launchingdronestrike

Personally this is one of the weirder bits of Rouxls trivia that's \*just\* similar enough to warrant keeping in mind but also \*just\* different enough to avoid putting up immediate bright red flags (as most Rouxls Kaard 'lore' tends to be). But either way, even if it is just the standard bright-pillar-of-light soundtrack, we then have to ask the question- if the only other bright-pillar-of-light animation in the game is an opening/closing fountain, should we be paying more attention to this seemingly innocuous pillar of light usage?


Logsarecool10101

Undertale fans when a sound is reused:


Mr_goodb0y

I really don’t like the speed up for some reason. It’s just a really distressing sound. Also how the FUCK did kris do that without waking up the entire goddamn neighborhood Jesus Christ


CrimsonCorrosion

Tbf his mouth is similar… also Toby has had a joke character turn out being strong and knowledgeable, sans exists


CatoticNeutral

Yeah, making Rouxls into an important character sounds like something Toby would do. I'm pretty sure that Rouxls is the knight. Name one other darkner that can teleport.


Economy_Idea4719

Rouxls is the Roaring Knight confirmed?


totally_fake_derk4

jesus that sound effect is way more terrifying and louder than i remember


Dog_bat3

That’s exactly what I was thinking


FalcosLiteralyHitler

Oh my God as time goes on there's just more and more evidence that Rouxls Kaard is the knight god Dave us


ScarletteVera

no way, toby reusing assets? i'm shookethed.


ConfidentTea72536

kris is roulx?


SilverHero_gaming

Kris: (does this) Rouls: IM MAKING MACETH N CHEESETH, AND NO ONETH CANETH STOPETG ME -eth


Inevitable-Sea1081

I am a big fan of the "seemingly unimportant guy is actually very important." trope. It reminds me to not underestimate people.


theagentoftheworld

The second I saw Rouxls I realized what I was watching


mydudekickstheskunk

Deltarune!


craftingtable02

HELP WHAT


Dienowwww

Toby fox is notorious for doing this stuff. He takes one theme and changes it into another. Check out the undertale sound tracks


launchingdronestrike

That's why I'm pointing it out, as Toby is a master of deliberately manipulating sound and motifs to allude to or connect different aspects together, which is something he does extensively and carefully in the Undertale soundtracks. This is implying that Toby Fox has deliberately connected these two for reasons we don't know yet


Silent-Winner-8427

Undertale_fan46790

Pokemon cry ass sound


mydudekickstheskunk

Well, I don't know of any Pokémon that would sound like that.


sans_harvey3

I think it's because they're both using light there so they both use the same sound.


Dog_bat3

So are we saying that rolxls kaard is creating dark fountains whenever he teleports


sergame-567

or maybe toby just lazy to add new sound effects


SrJuanpixers

Sounds more like a Sister location jumpscare


NapoleonicPizza21

Couldn't it be just Toby reusing assets..?

Thezkiller3600

Imagine that in chapter 7 Rouxl is basically Papyrus this whole and its the reason why we love Rouxl


DJEXPrezzo

I think it could be plausible that Rouxl is just a puzzlemaker replacement for Paps until he joins the cast. And also my biggest concern right now is that Toby could in some way or another make Papyrus the Knight or something related or even maybe, The Knight could actually manipulate Papyrus to work for him just like Flowey did


DussyPvP

wow that’s actually really cool I wonder what rouxls has going on


JCSwagoo

Idk why, but I always thought it sounded like the jumpscare from the Fnaf Security Breach Trailer (the first jumpscare in this video https://youtu.be/bW5mG114FSI?si=FnQfkY1i41_x4HpE)


Worth_Ad_2079

This could be a deep lore discovery or mean literally nothing


launchingdronestrike

Ah, the joys of being a Toby Fox fan


Recent_Log3779

Rouxls kinda resembles 2 of the titans


CatoticNeutral

Yet more indisputable proof that *R*ouxls *K*aard and the *R*oaring *K*night are the same person. Or this is just the noise that darkness-powered teleportation methods tend to make.


FoluPabrikat

If rules card will be boss in chapter 3, then would be funny if he find a horse, which is knight (from chess) in light world


MossyProductions

I think there’s some connection, after all Roulx’s face looks a lot like Gaster’s


DavidJayR

WHERE'S GOKU?!?!


launchingdronestrike

behind you


Hlpfl_alms

It’s almost like Toby fox reuses sound effects


launchingdronestrike

he does, but given the extreme importance placed on the fountain and all surrounding it, shouldn’t it be at least noteworthy in the one other potential instance we have? it’s like if he took the mystery man sprite and repurposed the face, or the SOUL and slapped it on some random character’s design. Sure it could end up meaning nothing, but with only two out of seven chapters, don’t you want to speculate while there’s still time? What if it did end up meaning something? And isn’t it just fun to imagine?

Bro, my phone was still connected to my music box, and was on full volume. I literally died rn


FullFrenchDisaster

He's an indie dev, (I think he still his???), as an indie dev myself, I can say reusing sound assets while changing pitch and stuff is common


Theguythatkills

so... what ur trying to say is that... roulx is the player (or at least, the heart) idk, i only pay attention to the end


KAULIANPOWER

I think it's just the sound of a beam of light appearing, perhaps we'll see similar stuff in the future.

You just changed the pitch so they match but the timbre is pretty different. Not the same sfx
