You’ve probably heard this a hundred times already, haven’t you…?įlowey pleads with Chara to not restart the game, to not erase everything that happened. What makes it even more unlikely that Chara is saved is the fact that Chara is the one who either commits the true reset or gives the option for the player to implement the true reset. Frisk is able to see this memory just like they are able to see their friends inside Asriel. By calling out Asriel’s name, Frisk evokes Asriel’s earliest memory of Chara. Frisk uses their words and actions to help their friends remember them. The code in the game confirms that the memory belongs to Asriel, and this makes sense. While it is a common interpretation that the memory sequence in Asriel’s battle belongs to Chara, this is not the case. He even understands if Frisk chooses not to forgive him. Most importantly, he apologizes and recognizes all the bad that he has done. He gives up fighting Frisk, breaks the barrier, and releases the monsters’ souls. The events after the battle also indicate that it is Asriel who is saved. That’s why Asriel, who was previously a soulless flower, is now someone capable of being saved. Furthermore, the “something else” that “began resonating within the SOUL” is likely Asriel’s being becoming stronger from having a soul again. It makes sense that Frisk would be saving their friends from Asriel, but maybe it’s not that clear that Asriel would need saving as well. The build up to save him with the use of the words “their name” is likely for suspense. He is keeping Frisk and everyone from their happy ending.

It cannot be both Chara and Asriel.Īt this point in the game, Asriel is the final boss. The narration clearly says “there’s still one last person that needs to be saved.” This means Asriel is the last person to be saved. However, close examination of the full dialogue confirms that the one being saved is Asriel, not Chara. There is a line in the dialogue during Asriel’s battle that has been that has been the source of some confusion: “You reach out and call their name.” The use of “their” is odd, considering Asriel is supposedly the one being saved but he goes by he/him pronouns.
