Beyond Gaster: The Most Bizarre DELTARUNE Theories Explained

The DELTARUNE fandom is a hotbed of creativity and speculation. While much of the conversation revolves around the mysterious and ever-present figure of Gaster, the community has also cooked up a collection of truly bizarre, fascinating, and sometimes even plausible theories that go far beyond the obvious. These theories are a testament to the game's intricate design and Toby Fox's love for hidden details.

At Cartpitol.com, we love a good deep dive into the obscure. We've combed through forums, wikis, and social media to bring you some of the wildest and most intriguing DELTARUNE theories that you might not have heard yet. Buckle up, because we're about to venture into the deepest corners of the Dark World's lore!

Theory 1: The Egg's True Identity and Purpose

The recurring egg is one of the most enigmatic elements in DELTARUNE. In each chapter, you can find and place a mysterious egg in Asgore's fridge. But what does it mean?

The Gaster Connection: A common theory suggests that the egg is a link to Gaster, as it often appears in strange or out-of-the-way places. It could be a way for him to observe or subtly influence the world.
A Symbol of Potential: A more abstract theory is that the egg represents "potential" or a new beginning. It's an empty vessel that could become anything, much like the discarded vessel we create at the start of the game.
The "Future of the World" Theory: Some believe that the eggs, when all are collected, will either lead to a grand secret or play a pivotal role in shaping the final ending of DELTARUNE.

Theory 2: Seam and Jevil's Connection to the "Old Timers"

The tragic story of Jevil and his "friend" Seam is a major part of the lore. While it's commonly believed they went mad after an encounter with Gaster, some fans have a more creative take.

The "Past Heroes" Theory: This theory suggests that Seam and Jevil were once Lightners, or were at least the original heroes of the prophecy. Jevil's madness is a result of him seeing the "truth"—the fact that their world is a game and they are bound by a narrative.
The "Puppet" Theory: A more bizarre theory posits that Seam and Jevil were once puppets of a past player or another entity. Jevil, in his madness, broke free from his strings, while Seam embraced his fate as a Darkner and became the keeper of secrets.

Theory 3: The Dark Worlds as a Metaphor for Creativity

This theory steps back from the game's internal lore and looks at its meta-narrative. It suggests that the Dark Worlds aren't literal places, but rather a metaphor for the creative process itself.

The "Creative Spark" Theory: The Lightners, Kris and Susie, are artists, writers, and musicians in the real world. Their journey into the Dark Worlds is a metaphor for their "creative spark." The Dark Fountains are new ideas, and the Darkners are their creations brought to life.
The "Writer's Block" Theory: The mysterious figure of The Knight is a symbol of "writer's block" or "creative burnout," an entity that creates new ideas (Dark Fountains) but leaves them incomplete, causing chaos and an imbalance.

This theory offers a unique, introspective way to view the game's story and its creation.

Theory 4: The Shadow Crystals and a Different Ending

The Shadow Crystals are a recurring secret in DELTARUNE, and they're more than just collectibles.

The "Alternative Timeline" Theory: This theory suggests that each Shadow Crystal shows a potential alternate future or a worst-case scenario. By collecting them all, players aren't just getting an item, but are gaining knowledge of a dark path.
The "Weapon of an Angel" Theory: Some fans believe that the Shadow Crystals, when combined, will form a legendary weapon or artifact known as the "Weapon of an Angel." This weapon could be used to defeat The Knight or the Titans, and its existence is tied to the player's choices.
