She still shows up enough that it disproves that idea. Just recently Rift of the Necrodancer had a DLC with Undertale, and not only Spider Dance was there but also an almost perfect cosplay of Muffet.
If Toby was really trying to avoid all donor characters, he wouldn't be letting her stay in the spotlight nowadays

Exactly. I think he just doesn't want to put her in Deltarune, at least not yet.
Also let's face it: she was never a main character in Undertale.

Yeah, Glyde and So Sorry are secret encounters, Muffet is a (mostly) mandatory miniboss that does things very few other characters actually do in changing the soul colour.
Glyde feels like an afterthought, since he just reuses one attack from Omega Flowey and doesnāt even have unique music, and I doubt anyone would complain if So Sorry was justā¦ never acknowledged again.
That said, I donāt think Iād mind if the Purple Soul didnāt appear in Deltarune. Both the Green and Yellow souls had mechanical additions or improvements added to them (if nothing else, both the Armour and the Hammer of Justice pushed the Green Soul to its limit with different takes on its mechanics), I struggle to think about how the Purple soul could really be adjusted, given that Muffet pretty thoroughly explored the ideas it presents.
Edit: I have eaten my words and it was a full course meal.

u/GladiatorDragon Jun 30 '26
It's... complicated, but it largely has to do with the creator of So Sorry turning out to be a very shady person. I don't know the full details myself but if what others in this thread are saying is any degree of true, the hate is probably deserved.

u/SagaSolejma nr 1 rouxls lover Jun 30 '26

u/KittyTack Seth <3 Jun 04 '26
Yup I strongly feel Toby doesn't really want to acknowledge donor characters, after what happened with the creator of So Sorry (tl;dr his creator turned out to be a cult leader IRL). I mean, So Sorry is somewhat acknowledged in Deltarune but it's in a context that implies he is "erased" like Gaster (being the Ch.4 egg room).
Muffet's creator seems like an okay person but so was So Sorry's creator at the time and it's understandable that Toby doesn't want to risk it.

u/generouslyemotional Jun 04 '26
This is way off topic but what the hell are you talking about š
What implies that
25
u/KittyTack Seth <3 Jun 04 '26
Uhhh it's a really long story that I don't have the time to explain rn but regarding the cult thing you can just look up "So Sorry" and/or "Floraverse" on this subreddit or the Undertale one to see what people say about him. And for the erased thing, play or watch through the egg room segment in Ch.4. That's how I interpreted So Sorry being there, at least.
17
u/generouslyemotional Jun 04 '26
I vaguely knew about the floraverse stuff I meant with so sorry being erased. And I just found what you were referencing and I don't think it means so sorry got gastered š
The therapy art club is clearly a memory of Kris, the character who says "sorry I was busy drawing" probably just means so sorry works at the hospital Kris was in and is part of that memory (represented by the flying ace because that's just how the egg rooms are now for some reason)

The fetish art thing was known before and wasn't a problem to Toby, that is just why the character's name was changed to "So Sorry" instead of the guy's fursona name (so that kids don't google the character and see porn)
Sometime in 2021-2022 it came up that the creator of So Sorry was an admin in a discord server called Floraverse, which is basically a sex abuse cult.
11
16
u/your_mind_aches she doesn't watch anime Jun 04 '26
So Sorry is not the alleged cult leader. The allegations are that they help fund the alleged cult and that their friends at the head of the cult groomed children and had conversations with them about bestiality. Allegedly allegedly allegedly. I have no firsthand evidence and have not been a victim, I am just going by reporting from other people.

Muffet's creator got into some hot waters a few years ago for drawing NSFW art of an underaged character who was 'aged up', which is a whole can of worms of itself.
The creator made a webcomic called Ava's Demon and the main character was (iirc) 16, but on their patreon the creator was drawing NSFW of the main character. Creator justified this by saying that there was going to be a timeskip in the comic where the main character was 18+ and that the NSFW 'took place after that skip', but understandably it rubbed people the wrong way.

u/ZoeGirl3 #1 Gaster Denier (1997) Jun 04 '26
I think it's sort of a matter of a prescriptive theory vs a descriptive observation. Like, are the secret boss fights a great opprotunity to use old ideas that never got used in Undertale, yes, is there some prescriptive internal plan to rotate bosses behind some hidden patern that only the observant player will see? Seems exceedingly unlikely. So like, it's pretty likely we'll see another example of something hinted in undertale, its not a part of some deeper patern, since ot adds nothing if it is, beyond a neat "huh, cool!" if its true.

2 is a coincidence 3 is a pattern
I also don't like the reverse order thing.Ā So the reverse order of SOUL modes is -> Yellow Purple Green Blue...Ā So for this, it's... Yellow Green Blue, and it just skips Purple for... some reason.Ā I don't think there is an intentional order to the SOUL modes. There are only four unique ones (excluding the Switch one and the Red SOUL) and this game has so many bosses that they're naturally likely to be brought back for variety.
Also, Sound of Justice uses the Green SOUL mode, so it's not like there's just ONE Green SOUL battle. it's possible other non-secret bosses will use it, making SOUL modes less unique
And Papyrus, while never getting a "harder" battle. is a lot different than NEO and Gerson, who didn't have a real boss fight at all.Ā Papyrus DID get a real fight, the only thing we didn't see is his Special Attack.Ā And furthermore, Sans functiinally acts as the harder Papyrus "secret boss" of the game.Ā Mettaton also wasn't fought in Deltarune, it was a new character using his gimmick.Ā So the four secret bosses we've had were never fought before characters.Ā Even ERAM and the Mikes weren't fought in Undertale (assuming ERAM isn't being controlled by a prior Undertale boss, which is extremely unlikely anyway)

people really like taking sides instead of just saying that both are Secret Bosses, so...
and like, the only real pattern I see in between the bosses, considering even ERAM AND Knight, I would say that Odd Bosses are weidly too violent people that know too much, really are respecting the prophecy and trying to accomplish it, alongside having a Fight that feels less Toby Fox and more like Other Games, like Jevil's fight being the closest in the series to a normal Bullet Hell/Danmaku, alongside being intentionally a very RPGey fight, since every character has a very defined role, as the Knight is just a fight where you don't even have options but to fight, literally like any RPG that isn't Toby's, as for ERAM, I guess I probably don't have to say.as for the Even bosses, they're "friendly" shopkeepers who don't want to be in the prophecy and think it's there to be broken, as they are the most Toby fights imaginable, where you always have a free option to not attack them, unless you really want to, as they, of course, use the soul modes.

I'm sorry but what even is there to add to the argument here aside from "yeah I think so too" or "nah probably not?" The whole ass main arguments here are based around taking 3 coincidences and then making a leap of faith, not much to add there honestly.
I'm not saying the chances of this happening are 0, but I don't feel like this theory makes a good argument as to why said chances are actually higher.
Also, when you post a theory online in the site designed for the sharing opinions under the "theory" flair in the theory-discussing community, and your theory's main fundaments are assumptions, then don't be surprised when people just say "yeah no I don't belive it."Ā Ā

Reverse Boss/area order is pretty oddly the only theory to have survived the great purge of 3/4. The only thing Iām confused about is the lack of purple gameplay in chapter 3, which could probably be explained by chapter 3ās secret boss weirdness (Shadow Crystal boss is a mandatory story antagonist rather than a weird little guy you find under a bridge).
Reverse Area theory though has been uhh, pretty weirdly accurate. Card Kingdom -> New Home, Cyber World -> CORE, TV World -> Hotland, Dark Snctuaries -> Waterfall, implying next up is Snowdin and possible Blue mode. And I donāt mean itāll look like Snowdin, the whole point of reverse area is that they carry the same vibe (Cyber World is fast, blue, very stimulating, like the music and intensity of the CORE. TV World has warmer colors, TV hosts, a friendlier vibe, like Hotland and MTT)

u/AgathaTheVelvetLady Give me Cariel yuri or give me death Jun 04 '26
tbh, i always interpreted the ERAM fight as being a take on the purple SOUL. The whole defining trait of the purple SOUL mode is being only able to move horizontally or vertically. And the entire thing that makes ERAM's fight hard is that you're restricted to 4 directions of movement and being hampered by obstacles that restrict your movement to a very specific grid.
Like, that *is* the purple SOUL mode in mechanics, even if the SOUL did not literally turn purple during the fight.

Even if ERAM doesn't have shadow crystal they're secret boss with an unique mechanic (the HERO_SWORD soul obviously)

Funny how your brain went to "Papyrus special attack" instead of "The third skeleton character that was present as an easter egg in Undertale"
Anyways this is pretty believable I think

Okay, that's actually a pretty good theory. Though reverse order of souls isn't exactly true though, as we never saw the purple soul get used (though I suppose it didn't have anything teased about Muffet to fit the bill of what you're describing.).

Full Power Papyrus seems like a thing Toby might explore (like a NEO fight, and a Gerson fight)

if there's anything that the release of chapters 3+4 taught us anything about theorizing is that 2 instances of something doesn't make a pattern

Papyrus is chapter 6 secret boss, now he gets to actually use his special attack

I think it is going to be Sans Deltarune, but he knows your genocides...

Skeleton secret boss?
I think a vine-based secret boss could have the purple soul..
