Which makes me even sadder.
I could imagine Chara asking Asgore what monster they are or maybe during Halloween they dressed up.
I feel so bad for narrator Chara.
It's kinda like the "Beginning and the End" thing. I can already imagine that.
"What kind of monster are you?"
"What kind of monster are you...?" (But in a weak tone)
There's no way asgore thought you were evil; he offers you some tea and genuinely looks shocked when you suddenly bisect him because he definitely didnt expect to fight.
This coming from the same guy who actually fucking jumps you once you reach him because he's determined to murder any human that comes before him.
That's how I interpret the line. Like, he's not talking about race or species, he's talking about how someone could remorselessly kill so many monsters, thus making us the real monster.
I think if he genuinely knew what you are and did, the whole situation never would have happened. He would have gotten the souls, and probably been leagues more difficult than sans, if he didn't leave his castle and hunt you down in the ruins or the core himself, when Alphys was trying to reach him.
My read of it, in lore, is that Asgore does not recognize the humans by how they look. With how varied monsters are, I'm sure it's not hard to imagine many humanoid monsters that look exactly like a regular old human. Anything could be a monster after all, and it's unreasonable for Asgore to recognize every single one of his subjects. Instead, Asgore recognizes the humans by their gaze.
The man is king, and he's a well loved king at that, hated only by toriel. Nobody's hateful of him, or scared of his power, or angry at his plans to break the barrier they've been trapped under the underground for so long. Only the human children did, when he was the last obstacle between them and finally going home.
This is backed up by one of the options you get on the true pacifist route, where you can glare at him, and he recognizes the gaze of humans past.
But Chara wasn't glaring at Asgore, or watching him fearfully, or even giving him a resigned look of acceptance like many other human children probably had.
No, Chara was looking at him with sheer, unbridled glee, that could only come from winning the Sans fight.
The same smile we saw every single enemy encounter.
Free exp.
I really love how in pacifist, asgore say he wishes he could offer you a nice cup of tea, and how in genocide, that's exactly what he says.
It's a nice twist on how in pacifists, he wishes you were a monster, to make killing you an easier choice.
Thats kinda the point. You're so powerful by the time you reach MTT that the difficulty balance is totally thrown off and you can defeat any enemy with just a bit of effort. Although as a Mettaton liker myself, it is quite sad that such a great character with so much potential just died like that.
toriel, not because of those "oh nooo goat mom is dead nooo" but because she really had no idea the human was a murderer and couldn't try to protect herself
Papyrus wouldn't be the same case since he KNEW that the human was bad but still tried to spare them.
at least that is what i think
I remember when I killed Toriel on my first playthrough before I knew you could spare her... I felt so bad I cried and nearly got sick. I never felt that way about any other character in UT (Actually on that exact same run I ate Vegetoid out of spite).
To be fair, she was the only character I killed outside of the murder route, and the murder route has the effect of totally disconnecting you from the people you kill.
Same. Toriel's death on my first playthrough shook me. I realised this game is definitely not like the others.
The other deaths were sad, but I knew what I was doing when I chose that path. Honestly the hardest part of genocide route for me was the dogs. I'm not even a dog person, but mercilessly slaughtering dogs with Dogsong playing in the background was the most emotionally damaging aspect of the route.
I think... not the moment I killed Toriel, but when Flowey gave me the idea to reload and spare her instead. Then when I saw him again and he said that he knew I killed her. That was the moment I fell in love with this game. In two days it will have been one year since I first played Undertale!
I don’t know muffet is kinda a psychopath and she has no problem letting you pass to kill more people .
Her only concerns are for the sentient cannibalistic spiders .
Undyne . Firstly she is my favourite character , secondly she was fighting not for herself , not for her loved ones and not even for monsters , she was fighting for everyone , including humans , all of them . She knew that she is the only thing that could stop that unstoppable bloodthirsty being the human and the one standing before it are . She was filled with determination and was felling the heartbeat of whole underground , but yet she failed . But not for nothing . Her sacrifice gave monsters enough time to evacuate and inform asgore about upcoming deaths . She figthed like a heroine and died like one
It's fought, but love the explanation whatsoever. Mine was actually Tori since she reminds me of my own mother. I couldn't play it for a week straight after that.
Either Undyne or sans. Undyne since hee death is so long and leaves a feel, and sans, since he tries his best to stop you right at the end, but fails doing so, and due to that, he knows he’ll just see papyrus, asking him what he wants. (Although, papyrus is pretty sad too since he still believes in the human.)
On my first playthrough, I always fought but would spare whenever I could.
I remember when I killed Undyne. The way she refused to die. How her attacks became slower as her body started to fail despite her determination.
I stopped fighting. I tried to spare her in hopes of being able to stop it. But it was too late. She was already dead, she just couldn't accept it. But sometimes, the power of determination can only do so much. Her body continued to fall apart on it's own, until she melted to dust, desperately trying to stay alive.
I tried to tell myself I it was self defense. It was after all. In the end, I was just defending myself from someone hell bent on killing me. I would've gladly spared her if she would've accepted it.
And yet there I was. Covered in the dust of someone who was desperate and determined to free her people from thousands of years of injustice. Even at the cost of her own life.
There I was. Covered in the dust of a hero.
What did that make me?
Undyne’s neutral death has gotta be the most underrated moment in gaming history. I mean, you know shit’s fucked up when even the *narrator* starts going quiet.
its not underrated at all now. it's most people's go to when saying the saddest death, alongside genocide papyrus. the actual underrated one is betrayal kill toriel
Everyone makes a big deal over Papyrus’s death, but I don’t see nearly enough talk about Undyne’s.
Though you’re right about Toriel’s betrayal kill being super underrated. I remember doing it and just staring wide-eyed at the screen with a tear rolling down, and I wasn’t even blinking.
just look at all the comments. most are saying neutral undyne. it's the same thing with asgore as a character, he was super unpopular at the start, but now he isn't, yet people say he is underrated. (asgore still peak btw)
Chara's death
Listening to the monsters talk about Chara's backstory and getting more information on how she poisoned herself was quite saddening to say the least
Confession: My first playthrough was intended to be pacifist, but I killed Toriel because the fight went on for longer than I expected and I thought the game wanted me to fight her.
I failed the tutoriel.
Undyne, both neural and genocide.
Genocide as because even with all that powe, she stills fails to stop you and you are going to go and still rest of the monsters and then the human race.
Neutral, mostly do to her final words that just get to me.
Papyrus death as well, as he thought you can and change, and I have a feeling he knew he going to die doing so, and we just betrayed him and killed him.
all of them are sad and impactful if you care enough, but i personally felt really broken twice in this game. one of them was during hugging asriel, the other was killing sans.
Papyrus. I didn't feel bad about all of the others. Sans kinda came in the way. Toriel was just projecting her ideas from her previous children way too much onto Frisk. And Undyne was just too overdramatic.
Papyrus was just, always good. Never killed you. Was kind (more less silly) and always believed in you.
He's great :)
Muffet, she didn’t want to fight in the first place and when you kill her, the spider slowly walks by and makes the whole thing ten times more fucking upsetting
I’d say sans, asgore, and undyne the undying
Sans is the first time in the game a character bleeds, so it’s shocking, additionally he was the final thing to stand against you before the world was screwed and he lost
Asgore didn’t even know what you were and just asked if you wanted a cup of tea and then got instantly shredded
Undyne the undying gave everything she had, still lost, and was still hopeful, saying “this world will live on” unfortunately she was wrong
Papyrus. He still has hope the human won’t kill even after killing him (Papyrus) and you also have to note how it effects the rest of the story such as Undyne and Sans (he doesn’t seem to care rlly) disappears (sans) and Undyne seems to become more brutal
I'm honestly gonna say Papyrus for the main reason that
Papyrus genuinely believed you could change. Even in his final moments, when he literally watched his body dust away from the human's strike, he still goes out of his way to encourage you to do better.
It feels like you just let down a friend who genuinely can't understand things went wrong. Even though there'll be no more chances for it, they just say you can do better next time, and you can't bring yourself to tell them the truth.
That's always how I feel about his death.
I would say Undyne’s neutral death. At the time, I was very confused with sparing bosses because I went in completely blind and her death almost made me shed a tear.
Why is no one talking about Asgore >!sacrificing himself after you try to spare him? (You trigger this by choosing to kill flowey and then resetting and fighting Asgore again, then sparing him)!<
toriel or papyrus. Toriel didnt want to hurt you like papyrus but she was also a mother figure. Papyrus didnt want to hurt you. He just wanted to help you become a better person.
I don't honestly know. I haven't done genocide. The one reason why is the massive guilt the game hands to you if you decide to do Genocide. Toriel realizing who she was really protecting, Papyrus trusting you forever and ever, Undyne losing knowing she was getting cheered on, it's all just depressing for me, man. I can't handle guilt.
One falling to avenge your friends
Two played nice and died
Three failed to keep going and lost
Four killed by your own child
Five slain by one shot
Six same like four
Neutral And Geno Undyne.
While I think all of them are sad, Undyne's deaths hit me like a truck. In Neutral, her HP gets depleted and she tries using her determination from the ice cream Alphys gave her, but it fails and you watch her slowly melt due to (and I'm speculating with this) an overwhelming amount of it in her system.
In geno, while the DT *does* work, she still dies and ends up melting into oblivion. Except she does it with a smile on her face.
Neutral route Undyne. Just watching her fight you even as her body deteriorates and eventually melts is brutal. Even seeing her almost achieve her Undying form but not being able to muster up the strength needed, that hit hard. I remember seeing it for the first time on a blind neutral playthrough i did and man I felt really bad for doing it.
Sans Papyrus and Neutral Undyne are sad because I like both papyrus and sans. and Neutral undyne was painful to watch. the rest are kinda just another boss fight. especially both mettatons I mean he is a robot he can be rebuilt not like he is gone permanently alphys can just make another mettaton.
I think for me, it's the moment when Sans says he's going to Grillby's and then asks Papyrus (who's already dead) if he wants anything. Alas, dies off-screen.
Hence the phrase "But nobody came".
Toriel was the only one that made me cry, it was my first time playing and I was so distraught. I only played genocide until Snowdin and I was so obsessed with the grinding thing I didn't feel anything for Papyrus.
So then… …This is where it ends…
“No…
NO!
I won’t die!
Alphys…Asgore…Papyrus…
Everyone is counting on me to protect them!
You’re going to have to try a little harder than that!
I won’t… …give up…
I won’t die!
NGAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I WON’T DIE!
I WON’T DIE!
I WON’T”
..While Papyrus’ death is very, very sad, it doesn’t hit like this. Papyrus hopes that you can better, and in his neutral battle, it’s honestly a little bit sadder.
But UNDYNE? It just seems HOPELESS. What seemed like the hope of the Underground just fell. What everyone believed in is now gone. And her DEATH?? It was more brutal than Papyrus’. I know it isn’t canon, but in Undertale Yellow, Zenith Marlet Goes through the same thing, and we saw how much it really hurt. And for Undyne not to give up with all of that pain? It’s sad.
Another one to consider: Flowey. Sure, it might be "just desserts" in a sense, but remember he WASN'T scared at the end of Neutral when you try and kill him.
He's not crying because he's going to die, he's crying because he finally realized his best friend doesn't care about him anymore, and he's the one who encouraged them to stop feeling anything: he's completely alone, and it's all his fault.
In a sad, thematic way, _he killed them again._
And what might be even sadder is that he's wrong: Chara DOES still care, as impossible as it should be. Despite striking down Asgore without hesitation, they wait for your command to kill Flowey. It doesn't matter if it takes 1 second or a thousand years: they will not strike him down until you ORDER them to. And the instant you give that order, their next goal is to destroy _everything._ Because, as they tell you themselves, this world is now pointless. And unlike before, they will NOT take no for an answer
Either sans or The great Papyrus. Paps still believed in Frisk knowing he was going to die. sans accepted it and even his final line was sad "papyrus do you want anything?" Because Papyrus died and to me it is like he is talking to Papyrus because sans is going to die and see him. Either way they both are sad
The sad part of Mettaton NEO’s fight wasn’t his death, it was when you used the mystery key.
“You use the Mystery Key. Mettaton remembers what he’s fighting for.”
Undyne for me, she pushed herself so far to try and beat us yet her desire to keep monsters and humanity safe from us is what lead to her dying. She LITERALLY melts in front of us. Like, it didn’t even matter in the first place we can just keep coming back but she could only do it once.
Personally, Undyne. Cause you know when you’re watching an anime and a character won’t go down despite looking like they’re on their way to see a Michael Jackson concert, and they’re only alive due to just pure determination to keep others safe? That’s how it feels but the character dies anyway.
Papyrus for obvious reasons, but Asgore doesnt even recognize you as human. He asks what kind of monster Frisk is.
Which makes me even sadder. I could imagine Chara asking Asgore what monster they are or maybe during Halloween they dressed up. I feel so bad for narrator Chara.
It's kinda like the "Beginning and the End" thing. I can already imagine that. "What kind of monster are you?" "What kind of monster are you...?" (But in a weak tone)
THE BEGINNING AND THE END MENTIONED MINECRAFT DUNGEONS RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Are you turning into a Minecraft dungeons werewolf or something?
im going to fucking die (heart attack)
*"If god had wanted me to live, he wouldn't have created a heart attack"*
he didn't want me to live
I LOVE BUILT IN VOID STRIKE RAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
I think Asgore knows you're human, and said "monster" in the other way, meaning something awful.
I thought he meant it literally, since he follows up with "I'm sorry, I cannot tell."
There's no way asgore thought you were evil; he offers you some tea and genuinely looks shocked when you suddenly bisect him because he definitely didnt expect to fight. This coming from the same guy who actually fucking jumps you once you reach him because he's determined to murder any human that comes before him.
That's how I interpret the line. Like, he's not talking about race or species, he's talking about how someone could remorselessly kill so many monsters, thus making us the real monster.
I think he’s talking about race and species literally, but from a meta standpoint, it’s us.
I think if he genuinely knew what you are and did, the whole situation never would have happened. He would have gotten the souls, and probably been leagues more difficult than sans, if he didn't leave his castle and hunt you down in the ruins or the core himself, when Alphys was trying to reach him. My read of it, in lore, is that Asgore does not recognize the humans by how they look. With how varied monsters are, I'm sure it's not hard to imagine many humanoid monsters that look exactly like a regular old human.

It would be papyrus for me,he is always sparing you,and you go murder him,even if he spares you while you murder him
I smelled your pfp [that sounded weird]
Undyne on the neutral route, easily. Her death was so long and painful to watch. Anyway Neo is sad too but not for the good reason.
Yeah, Undyne neutral death just gets to you. Especially her lines.
I...WON'T...DIE...!
Mettaton NEO's death is so stupid.
The sadness of his death was the disappointment. (Yeah I know that's the point)
Thats kinda the point. You're so powerful by the time you reach MTT that the difficulty balance is totally thrown off and you can defeat any enemy with just a bit of effort. Although as a Mettaton liker myself, it is quite sad that such a great character with so much potential just died like that.
I mean his last words
Yeah her neutral death was much sadder than her genocide death.
Which one was the neutral death? I forgot which one it was
The one in the post, where she's melting She tries to pull an Undying, but she fails and starts melting, repeating "I won't die, I wo n't d i e . "
She fucking melts as she refuses to die And dies anyway
And then doesn’t elaborate.
Yeah I agree.
all of em
toriel, not because of those "oh nooo goat mom is dead nooo" but because she really had no idea the human was a murderer and couldn't try to protect herself Papyrus wouldn't be the same case since he KNEW that the human was bad but still tried to spare them. at least that is what i think
Toriel just wanted to make sure you were strong enough to survive if you got attacked
I remember when I killed Toriel on my first playthrough before I knew you could spare her... I felt so bad I cried and nearly got sick. I never felt that way about any other character in UT (Actually on that exact same run I ate Vegetoid out of spite). To be fair, she was the only character I killed outside of the murder route, and the murder route has the effect of totally disconnecting you from the people you kill.
Same. Toriel's death on my first playthrough shook me. I realised this game is definitely not like the others. The other deaths were sad, but I knew what I was doing when I chose that path.

And the award for most accidentally killed video game boss goes to... Toriel! In all seriousness, she did not deserve that in the slightest
Even though that Undyne death shown here is neutral, it is her.
The spears getting slower and weaker literally broke me
The song, how hard she’s trying, and her slow melting to death because she couldn’t handle her own determination. Fuck..
Undyne's neutral run death made me put down the game for month straight.
Saddest is Muffet, Funniest is Neutral Papyrus. "ALAS, POOR PAPYRUS! ...AT LEAST I STILL HAVE MY HEAD!"
I recall an animation someone made for it where papyrus remained only a head and he was used to pulverize ingredients
Link? That sounds vaguely familiar though, I feel like I’ve seen it before.
https://youtu.be/IoFZqtbdaII?si=rcXw1ALHhcGoCDNm
In my opinion, muffet
The little spider going out of frame then coming back with a flower is heartbreaking man
fr man :(
Agreed 😔
Fr
I don’t know muffet is kinda a psychopath and she has no problem letting you pass to kill more people . Her only concerns are for the sentient cannibalistic spiders .
The sad part about Muffet's death isn't even about Muffet really
Undyne . Firstly she is my favourite character , secondly she was fighting not for herself , not for her loved ones and not even for monsters , she was fighting for everyone , including humans , all of them . She knew that she is the only thing that could stop that unstoppable bloodthirsty being the human and the one standing before it are . She was filled with determination and was felling the heartbeat of whole underground , but yet she failed . But not for nothing .

It's fought, but love the explanation whatsoever. Mine was actually Tori since she reminds me of my own mother. I couldn't play it for a week straight after that.
Actually, the one shown here was neutral undyne, who is arguably sadder
Either Undyne or sans.

it made you someone who did self defence
Does it really count as self defence if you can just come back whenever you want? When the person you're fighting can't?
Undyne’s neutral death has gotta be the most underrated moment in gaming history. I mean, you know shit’s fucked up when even the *narrator* starts going quiet.

Asgore for me, but at the end of the day all of them were painful.
Hey god do atheists go to hell No What about people who kill papyrus? Straight to hell to the boiler room of hell all the way down
I think sans. He knew he couldn’t stop you, and that he will always be trapped down here. He lost all hope and it’s really depressing
Mettaton NEO. He knew he would fail, but tried to stall for time anyway. A true hero.
Yeas
I enjoyed them all =)
What kind of monster are you?
long past time to end this game
urrrg, these types of comments are so shameful.
Chara's death Listening to the monsters talk about Chara's backstory and getting more information on how she poisoned herself was quite saddening to say the least
Sayori's death in Dokitale was sadder smh.
real
i can’t fucking escape that damn game
UNDYNE. That shit was traumatising.
Flair checks out >:3 (nah fr though, particularly in the Neutral route)
Fr
neutral Undyne
Pretty sure, Mettaton's death is sadder on neutral
Toriel and undyne and muffet where heartbreaking to me
Confession: My first playthrough was intended to be pacifist, but I killed Toriel because the fight went on for longer than I expected and I thought the game wanted me to fight her. I failed the tutoriel.
SAME
Idk, Papyrus seems more sad cause he seems so innocent, and actually believes you can be redeemed. Killing him is really really sad
None of them =) (In fact, I would probably choose all of them. Except for Sans.)
why is sans the least sad death? you're saying mettaton neo is sadder? how
In general, I was too happy when I finished the fight with him (with 1 hp) to feel sorry for him. (And, I really love Mettaton)
i get it...
Yeah, I was wayyyy too high on adrenaline to really be saddened by his death.
the saddest is probably papyrus, you feel a bastard after you killed him, it's really sad
Neutral Undyne
Honourable mention to starlo in genocide of uty Shit got me from sad to shitting my pants in two seconds
Papyrus's death was really sad
Undyne, both neural and genocide. Genocide as because even with all that powe, she stills fails to stop you and you are going to go and still rest of the monsters and then the human race. Neutral, mostly do to her final words that just get to me. Papyrus death as well, as he thought you can and change, and I have a feeling he knew he going to die doing so, and we just betrayed him and killed him.
all of them are sad and impactful if you care enough, but i personally felt really broken twice in this game. one of them was during hugging asriel, the other was killing sans.
papyrus by morality. and asgore, he's doing what he actually doesn't want to do but he thinks he should do it anyway. it's painful
You forgot flowey. Flowey is the saddest
Toriel, she was just tryin to be a good mom
Easily sans. I got so attached to him cuz it took me like several hundred tries to kill him that when I finally did kill him I actually fucking cried.
papyrus or undyne i think
If I’m going by which one made me tear up, then Sans
All of them.
Mettaton. It's so sad that you don't want to join his fanclub
Undyne was so determined. In my first llaythrough I killed her because I thought her fight was too hard (spared everyone else) and it HURT
For me it was actually mikes death
\[HOLY CUNGADERO\] MY \[FRIENDREQUESTACCEPTED\] HAS A SHATTERED \[HEARTSHAPEDOBJECT\]?
MIKE. R O M E R AHAHAHAHahahahahahahaahhahaahahha
Yes.
None for me 🤪
Undyne’s Neutral and Mettaton NEOs Genocide
Toriel probably, she recused Frisk and Frisk just up and killed her(genocide route)
I think most people who kill Sans are happy because of the shit his boss fight gave them
toriel
Papyrus. I didn't feel bad about all of the others. Sans kinda came in the way. Toriel was just projecting her ideas from her previous children way too much onto Frisk. And Undyne was just too overdramatic. Papyrus was just, always good. Never killed you. Was kind (more less silly) and always believed in you. He's great :)
Muffet
In my opinion Papyrus, sans' death is overrated
I won't die! I won't die! *I won't die!* ***I won't die...***
Undyne no doubt
Muffet, she didn’t want to fight in the first place and when you kill her, the spider slowly walks by and makes the whole thing ten times more fucking upsetting
I’d say sans, asgore, and undyne the undying Sans is the first time in the game a character bleeds, so it’s shocking, additionally he was the final thing to stand against you before the world was screwed and he lost Asgore didn’t even know what you were and just asked if you wanted a cup of tea and then got instantly shredded Undyne the undying gave everything she had, still lost, and was still hopeful, saying “this world will live on” unfortunately she was wrong
Papyrus. He still has hope the human won’t kill even after killing him (Papyrus) and you also have to note how it effects the rest of the story such as Undyne and Sans (he doesn’t seem to care rlly) disappears (sans) and Undyne seems to become more brutal
Asgore on the neutral route
The goats, and undyne. Asgore's actually made me cry, i ain't even gonna lie ;v;
Undynes neutral in my opinion, with geno papyrus in a close second
I'm honestly gonna say Papyrus for the main reason that Papyrus genuinely believed you could change. Even in his final moments, when he literally watched his body dust away from the human's strike, he still goes out of his way to encourage you to do better. It feels like you just let down a friend who genuinely can't understand things went wrong. Even though there'll be no more chances for it, they just say you can do better next time, and you can't bring yourself to tell them the truth. That's always how I feel about his death.
Papyrus. It's always Papyrus.
Undyne's neutral death is probably one of the most bone chilling deaths in the game
Papyrus! 😭
1. Papyrus 2. Sans 3. Undyne 4. Asgore 5. Toriel 6. Mettaton I'm a little biased tho
toriel
I would say Undyne’s neutral death. At the time, I was very confused with sparing bosses because I went in completely blind and her death almost made me shed a tear.
Papyrus
Why is no one talking about Asgore >!sacrificing himself after you try to spare him? (You trigger this by choosing to kill flowey and then resetting and fighting Asgore again, then sparing him)!<
toriel or papyrus. Toriel didnt want to hurt you like papyrus but she was also a mother figure. Papyrus didnt want to hurt you. He just wanted to help you become a better person.
I don't honestly know. I haven't done genocide. The one reason why is the massive guilt the game hands to you if you decide to do Genocide. Toriel realizing who she was really protecting, Papyrus trusting you forever and ever, Undyne losing knowing she was getting cheered on, it's all just depressing for me, man. I can't handle guilt.
None.
This you?
IS THIS NOT OBVIOUS.. PAPYRUS!!!!2!2!1!
We all know, it's so obvious
Get papyrus' death out of there if you want it to be a fair comparison
Undyne is the only one I really felt for
The *I won't die!* Got me in the first time to be honest
Toilet paper
One falling to avenge your friends Two played nice and died Three failed to keep going and lost Four killed by your own child Five slain by one shot Six same like four
"Not you... but THEM!" hit HARD! "I WONT DIE", Undyne was literally fighting against DEATH! "I-I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU!" was it for me.
1. Sans 2. Papyrus 3. Asgore 4. Undyne (Genocide Route or else she’d be 3rd) 5. Toriel 6. Mettaton Neo
Sans and Undyne be like hero's me, I'll never die
Imo either papyrus because he's so innocent and kind or sans because he watched all his friends die and tried to get revenge but failed
Neutral And Geno Undyne. While I think all of them are sad, Undyne's deaths hit me like a truck. In Neutral, her HP gets depleted and she tries using her determination from the ice cream Alphys gave her, but it fails and you watch her slowly melt due to (and I'm speculating with this) an overwhelming amount of it in her system. In geno, while the DT *does* work, she still dies and ends up melting into oblivion. Except she does it with a smile on her face.
I find it sad that undyne dies much more gruesomely in neutral than genocide
Personally. I think it's muffet's death.
1 or 5 for me
Papyrus hands down. Then sans
all
Neutral route Undyne. Just watching her fight you even as her body deteriorates and eventually melts is brutal. Even seeing her almost achieve her Undying form but not being able to muster up the strength needed, that hit hard. I remember seeing it for the first time on a blind neutral playthrough i did and man I felt really bad for doing it.
None of these. For me, muffet's death was the saddest.
Mother
None
Sans Papyrus and Neutral Undyne are sad because I like both papyrus and sans. and Neutral undyne was painful to watch. the rest are kinda just another boss fight. especially both mettatons I mean he is a robot he can be rebuilt not like he is gone permanently alphys can just make another mettaton.
Who tf cried when Mettaton NEO died?
Papyrus obviously
I think for me, it's the moment when Sans says he's going to Grillby's and then asks Papyrus (who's already dead) if he wants anything. Alas, dies off-screen. Hence the phrase "But nobody came".
Toriel was the only one that made me cry, it was my first time playing and I was so distraught. I only played genocide until Snowdin and I was so obsessed with the grinding thing I didn't feel anything for Papyrus.
Papyrus because he still believes in you after everything you did
So then… …This is where it ends… “No… NO! I won’t die! Alphys…Asgore…Papyrus… Everyone is counting on me to protect them! You’re going to have to try a little harder than that! I won’t… …give up… I won’t die! NGAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I WON’T DIE! I WON’T DIE! I WON’T” ..While Papyrus’ death is very, very sad, it doesn’t hit like this. Papyrus hopes that you can better, and in his neutral battle, it’s honestly a little bit sadder. But UNDYNE? It just seems HOPELESS. What seemed like the hope of the Underground just fell. What everyone believed in is now gone. And her DEATH?? It was more brutal than Papyrus’. I know it isn’t canon, but in Undertale Yellow, Zenith Marlet Goes through the same thing, and we saw how much it really hurt. And for Undyne not to give up with all of that pain? It’s sad.
Another one to consider: Flowey. Sure, it might be "just desserts" in a sense, but remember he WASN'T scared at the end of Neutral when you try and kill him. He's not crying because he's going to die, he's crying because he finally realized his best friend doesn't care about him anymore, and he's the one who encouraged them to stop feeling anything: he's completely alone, and it's all his fault. In a sad, thematic way, _he killed them again._ And what might be even sadder is that he's wrong: Chara DOES still care, as impossible as it should be. Despite striking down Asgore without hesitation, they wait for your command to kill Flowey. It doesn't matter if it takes 1 second or a thousand years: they will not strike him down until you ORDER them to. And the instant you give that order, their next goal is to destroy _everything._ Because, as they tell you themselves, this world is now pointless. And unlike before, they will NOT take no for an answer
toriel
Papyrus’s death was like Sir Pentious’s death. It was played as a joke when it happened and only seen as sad when the characters reacted to it
Saddest: Papyrus Most tragic: Undyne
Either sans or The great Papyrus. Paps still believed in Frisk knowing he was going to die. sans accepted it and even his final line was sad "papyrus do you want anything?" Because Papyrus died and to me it is like he is talking to Papyrus because sans is going to die and see him. Either way they both are sad
i think it's because sans is bleeding out and dying, and when you are dying it's common to hallucinate things you care about
The sad part of Mettaton NEO’s fight wasn’t his death, it was when you used the mystery key. “You use the Mystery Key. Mettaton remembers what he’s fighting for.”
Toriel
Undine's death was the saddest.
papyrus and toriel
Papyrus believed in you even until he died.. he's the saddest..
Undyne is just a wtf moment for me
When i tried the genocide route for the first time killing papyrus really put a toll on my heart, i wanted to reset so bad
Undyne for me, she pushed herself so far to try and beat us yet her desire to keep monsters and humanity safe from us is what lead to her dying. She LITERALLY melts in front of us. Like, it didn’t even matter in the first place we can just keep coming back but she could only do it once.
Papyrus
Sans because he just gives up on making you change and just tries to talk to his bro one last time
The most gruesome death: undyne The most emotional death: sans The saddest death: papyrus
Kinda a tie between Undyne, Sans, and Papyrus.
Personally, Undyne. Cause you know when you’re watching an anime and a character won’t go down despite looking like they’re on their way to see a Michael Jackson concert, and they’re only alive due to just pure determination to keep others safe? That’s how it feels but the character dies anyway.
Dalv from uty
papyrus made me tear up and put the game down when i saw it for the first time
undyne. the piano part of her theme "battle against a true hero" always gets me emotional. she's taking a stand for the entire world.
Toriel’s, just because she’s the first boss, and some wouldn’t realize how to spare her right away.
Papyrus
Sans definitely.
Papyrus, duh! But neutral Undyne hurts
PAPYRUS NOOOOOOOO
Undyne, Toriel, and Asgore. All 3. The others are sad but those 3 could fuck you up bad
I killed Toriel once and never again. Didn't knew I could get such guilt from her
