I'm done with Chapter 5, Chapter 6, the big one "The Secret of Sans", is starting; https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sjVwWf-MKjP9OuXqsFWOOl8Vu0jOxwapD83rIRHst-E/edit?usp=sharing

Ambassador, after asking us to leave Frisk alone, and let everyone be happy, Flowey/Asriel ends everything with a super dramatic moment when he calls us, the Player, "Chara": https://youtu.be/tI0Pb_z4HSU

Is Asriel wrong about this too? I don't think so, this time. Chara knows what the players knows.. and nothing more. Whether the Player tells Frisk to make good or evil actions determines whether Chara is good or evil in the end. Undertale is going for a very powerful metaphor, and what we see in this very last scene after a True Pacifist Ending lines up with my earlier theories.

The Waterfall Glyphs:

Kanashi section: https://youtu.be/5IndKnmRM5M?list=PLMBYlcH3smRzDtisspG0VIwJ0oZRakaIF&t=3608  (The glyphs are ancient. Describes how it would take most monster souls to equal the power of a human soul. Asks "Why did the humans attack? Indeed, it seemed that they had nothing to fear". How monsters can take human souls. Has the Kanashi glyph at the end)

If the glyphs are ancient, the Disturbing Picture at the end isn't of Asriel. It must be of another monster with a human soul.

Keep in mind that "a monster with a human soul" could also have a monster soul inside it too. Just because they have one doesn't mean they don't also have the other.

But Asriel at the end looked just how he used to look.. even though he had a human soul instead of a monster soul. Despite this difference, Asriels' appearance didn't change.

... so why does Kanashi's image look.. disturbing?

If it was just a monster who managed to absorb a human soul, it should still just look like any ordinary monster.

Yet here is a monster where you can tell something is different about it, even by Monster Standards (!!!), just by looking at it.

This isn't a standard situation. Something different is going on.

And having Kanashi be a Hybrid, something between a human and a monster? Would definitely put Kanashi in the "Uncanny Valley" in terms of appearance.

That's why I think Kanashi must be a hybrid.

This would also explain why the humans suddenly attacked, even though it seemed they had nothing to fear.

If hybrids like Kanashi were allowed to breed, and become commonplace? Kanashi's Children would each be stronger than the average human, and be willing to use that power selfishly as a human might. The days of monsters being weaker than humans would be over, with an overcorrection.

How someone might view this situation depends entirely on their World Outlook.

Does the advent of Kanashi's Children spell doom for humankind, and must be stopped at all costs? Or does the potential for the human and monster worlds to fuse together and become something greater than ever before, the final step to securing eternal world peace?

When Kanashi appeared, it was both a Beginning, and an End.
