I know, I just KNOW someone will reply to this and I will immediately feel stupid because this question had an easy answer I hadn't seen. Still, this has been bugging me for a LONG time and I have to let it go.

Up to this day, I am still not entirely sure of why Asriel fights you.

Once Flowey does his little number on our happy reunion, he has a soul. And Asriel is a loving sonofagoat who wouldn't hurt a fly. He sees us as Chara until the end of the battle, so if he regained his compassion and body, and believes that his long lost best friend is right in front of him, why would he immediately go into battle?

He not only battles us, but taunts us and doesn't seem to care about harming us. And at this point, he still thinks we're Chara, so why is he so nonchalant about hurting his friend? He wants to gain control over the timeline, that much I understand, but still... There is something about this that feels off. He only stops when he gets memories of him and Chara. Did he not remember that?

I'm lost here. T-T
