You can watch the video here.

But if you're too lazy, I'll just summarize it for you.

.....Sans the skeleton is supposed to be Ness from Earthbound.

Oh, and Papyrus is a Starman.

Now I know what you're thinking: "But that's crazy! There's no way it can be true!"

That's exactly it. And here's some proof.

-In Sans's secret room, Frisk wouldn't have been able to identify Sans from the pictures of Ness with his friends since Ness actually has skin and different clothing.

-Even though Papyrus has a logo on his costume similar to the Starmen, there's no real proof that Pap is an actual Starman. When he dies, his whole body disappears except for his head, which turns to dust soon after. In Earthbound, we don't see any Starmen get defeated that way.

-Bones are ORGANIC MATERIAL.

Feel free to add more evidence as to why this is fake, but I'm certain we can all agree that Matpat's dun goofed, like he usually does.

Here's another reason why I disagree with the Sans being Ness Theory

If Sans was really Ness, that would mean he is a human with a human soul

Near the end of a true pacifist ending, Flowey absorbs the six souls and becomes Asriel right?? So here's what I'm pointing at: Asriel, through the six souls and all monsters' souls, gained power equivalent to 7 souls. But if Sans was human, or more specifically, Ness, and he had a human soul, that would mean ASRIEL GAINED POWER EQUIVALENT TO EIGHT SOULS, NOT SEVEN.

I haven't played Earthbound btw and I don't know too much about it so pls tell me if I missed out anything The "Sans is a revenant" theory takes care of that plot hole. But again thats just another theory so its STILL a plot hole, and also that wasn't a theory that was a culture shock. Which aren't theories but things that Gaijin thinks are similar and says that its cool how similar they are. No evidence presented here is more or less valid than anything else, since our entire discussion is a series of artistic interpretations and is not grounded in fact.
