Toby Fox said that Deltarune is set in an alternate universe, but does he mean that in the way the Undertale fanbase does? What if Toby meant an alternate timeline? That is what my theory is going to go into. Maybe Deltarune does take place in the same universe as Undertale, but in an alternate timeline, or should I say a timeline that existed before any other Undertale timeline.

Without a doubt, Gaster probably has something to do with Deltarune due to various hints, such as his leitmotif being in a good amount of the songs in the game and that his sounds can be heard at somepoints. So, what about Gaster you may ask? Well, here is what I think. I think Gaster may still exist in Deltarune, as in he never fell into the CORE. Why do I say this? Well, Gaster's followers are seen throughout the game if you look very carefully. The one is in the library, another is in a car, being blocked by Undyne, Susie was (sorta) mentioned in the Switch release (although, she does not seem to have any connections to Gaster), and the rest are not there, but I have a theory that the Monster Kid character in the game may have some kind of connection to the Goner Kid. However, they are not in the same forms that they were in the original Undertale game. In this game, they look normal. They have actual color, and they look more normal than what we saw in Undertale. They actually look like they are happier. Maybe this is because they have not met Gaster yet. Sans also does seem a little happier than his Undertale self, and maybe he is actually happy here because Gaster still exists and without a doubt, he does have some kind of connection to him. There is also no proof that W.D. Gaster does not exist in Deltarune. Just here is one big question: ''Where is Gaster in Deltarune if he still exists? ''Well, here is my guess. I think he might be in the shed that we see near the Church in the middle of the woods. My guess is that the shed is actually the entrance to Gaster's lab, and I think this would explain why could hear his sounds on the inside. So here is what I think so far: Deltarune is indeed a sequel to the Undertale Pacifist Route, but in a timeline that Gaster still exists in.

Now, while I will get back to Gaster in a bit, here is a part of my theory on Kris. Kris is basically the Frisk of Deltarune, but sorta Chara too. Now, here is what I think. I think Kris may possibly be both Frisk and Chara combined. In a matter of fact, I think may have possibly once been one in the same. If you really think about it, it does make sense. It would explain why Kris wears an outfit similar to Chara's in the Overworld, and has an outfit similar to Frisk's in the Darkworld. This would also explain why Kris has a similar skintone to Frisk in the Overworld, and also has similar facial features. Just here is one major question: ''How did Kris split into Frisk and Chara? ''Well, I will explain that when I am finishing up the theory.

Anyway, here is some more Gaster stuff. So, you maybe wondering, how can Deltarune a be a sequel as well? Isn't Asriel still alive? Aren't Asgore and Toriel divorced? Well, yeah, but here is what I think. I think Gaster may have been able to find a way to escape the Underground when he still existed, and when this happened, a bunch of things in the Undertale didn't happen, such as Undyne never joining the royal guard so maybe whatever happened to her eye never happened, Alphys never became the royal scientist, so she was never able to create Mettaton's body, Asriel and Chara (or Kris in this case) never died, so now they could just live out there lives, Bratty and Catty were never able to know each other, and now Undyne was never able to meet Alphys, so that is why they don't know each other. This would explain a few things about Deltarune, considering that Deltarune takes place after the Pacifist Route in Undertale, but in a different timeline, such as Gerson being dead, Asgore not holding any kind of power over the monsters, the fact that monsters are on the Surface, Asriel being older, and many more actually. However, here is the thing... Gaster does fall into the CORE eventually, causing the timelines to shift. This would cause many things to happen, such as all of the events of Undertale, and Kris spliting into both Frisk and Chara (Also, maybe Asgore and Toriel divorced for a different reason in Deltarune).

Anyway, I said how I think Kris turned into Frisk and Chara earlier, so I am going to explain how. Well, I think the ending of Deltarune Chapter 1 may explain that. When Kris tore out their SOUL, two separate beings would be created. One being Chara, the other being Frisk. I think that when this happened, Kris' body would become Chara, this would explain why Kris was acting much more sinister than usual, and I think Kris' SOUL would become the SOUL for Frisk. I think the DETERMINATION in Kris' SOUL was so strong, it was capable of staying in one piece, and when the timeline was changed to what know in Undertale, it would become a seperate being, creating Frisk. That is what I think happened.

Now, I should probably explain what I think happened to Gaster. Well, you know how he is always talking about the darkness? What if Gaster was actually talking about the Darkworld? Imagine that. So, what I am saying is that Gaster might have connections to the Darkworld, and I think he may possibly be responsible for a good amount of the events in Deltarune. So, I think Gaster may secretly be this Knight that seems to have caused the events of Deltarune. Maybe in the next chapter or another chapter after that, maybe Kris and his allies will find out about what Gaster has done. Considering Susie's lack of mercy, however, she maybe the one who sent Gaster into the CORE after fighting him. If this happens, then the timeline would be changed, causing the events to the Undertale story we all know. If this happens, maybe we will end up getting a different version of the Deltarune game to end the Deltarune series, a version of Deltarune that would fit into the original Undertale universe.

Now, you may be all wondering, what happened to Ralsei and Susie if this is the case? Well, I do not have an answer to what could have happened to Susie, but my guess is that she is fine and alive during the time of Undertale. Anyway, for Ralsei however, I think he may be a resident in the Underground as well, and maybe he was able to get to the Darkworld with his magic if you are wondering. Anyway, I think Ralsei may secretly be the River Person. I think it would make sense in a few ways. Both seem pretty smart, both are probably very powerful, and they are both seen singing. Could it be possible that Ralsei has been there this entire time? It could be.

So, here is what I am going to have to say abour my theory: Deltarune takes place in a timeline before Gaster fell into the CORE, and that Frisk and Chara may have once been the same. What do you think of my theory? Everything about detarune was already explained by captain hype (a french youtuber) i absolutely believe its 100% true.
