I mean, has anyone actually PLAYED his boss fight? Does someone who decided the best way to keep playing with his best friend is to kill them a million times seem innocent to you? Does someone who enslaved the souls of every living creature in the underground and not let one of them free seem nice to you? Does someone who wants to wipe evryone's memories of you, wipe your memory and then send you back to repeat this process as many times as he wants seem kind to you? Does someone who paralysed his best friend and repeatedly shot them with energy blasts and watched the die while laughing about it really seem any better than Chara? Seriously, I don't get some people.

Anyway, I don't know anyone who loves ASGORE(Soundtrack) as much as me. It's one of my favorites. I refer to Chara as a she. Just how I see them, please take no offense. <3

He apologizes for this as soon as we SAVE Chara - since Asriel was calling for her, her spirit was attracted to the human SOULs and made him a little bit crazy. At that point in time, Asriel had a TON of STATS, so it's no stretch to think that the Chara we saw at the end of genocide is fully present within him. Right after we SAVE "someone else" (who is called a "they" when we know that Asriel is a "he"), Asriel calms down and starts crying. And then apologizes.

Moreso, he onslaughts us for about 5 minutes in a battle that he doesn't want to win (as seen when he hyperbeams us). In his true form with all of his compassion and mercy restored, Asriel has no flaws even compared to other monsters. It was a huge let down that he went from Flowey - who was a flawed antagonist - to a perfect character.
