ROUND 1: MATCH 19

Bergentrückung vs Amalgam

(For some reason the animated Bergentrucküng image isn't working, I don't know why.)

[the-unrelated-theorist]

ARRGH! I finally figured out why Asgore's a truck freak. It's in the name of one of his themes: Bergen-TRUCK-ung.

Toby! That's awful! If that was unintentional, then I forgive you. If you did it on purpose, you're terrible and I adore you! lol!

im SURE ive talked about this before but i think asgore's theme has to be like. probably the Thing in the world i've spent the most time listening to outside of, like, my fan's white noise

[mountainrapture]

listen i have been and always will be a bergentrückung+asgore truther but name a track from the ost that inspires as much raw hype as bonetrousle. i'll wait.

[salmonsnakerune]

i am So Fucking High and just. bruh. Feelings about Undertale/Deltarune hours. asgore is so. sobs. wails even. look how threatening he is even in his grief! he towers over frisk. over the player. formidable even in his hesitance! grief stricken and broken and so so very alone but still befitting his title as king.

and then you see him in deltarune. flower shop. a blow up mattress in the back for him. goofy and doing his best to still be a father like his undertale counterpart was never able to be in turn sacrificing his status and purpose. he topples from king of the monsters- of the underground- he gets his wish for his children to live but at the cost of everything else. his marriage still fails. he is still alone. just now with the salt in the wound of being Just A Guy. i have literally no fucking clue if any of this makes sense i am having weed emotions help.

Im and absolute FREAK for undertale, that shit has been my comfort game since it came out, so rn i am listening to my gremlin brain and mashing my two hyperfixations together rn! Reminder, this is just my opinion and you are aloud to disagree with it! Just dont be rude.

Gyomei Himejima -> Bergentruckung + ASGORE Sanemi Shinazugawa -> Battle Against A True Hero Giyu Tomioka -> Small Shock Kyojuro Rengoku -> Hopes and Dreams Tengen Uzui -> CORE* Obanai Iguro -> Amalgam Muichiro Tokito -> Memory or Waterfall Mitsuri Kanroji -> Start Dating or TEM SHOP Shinobu Kocho -> Spider Dance

'*' = Really just any of Mettaton's songs would fit the flashy man

[2024.05.15] Ice Jewels Vol. 19 : Toby Fox - "RE_PRAY" is the freedom to try new things

Hello everyone! I am Toby Fox, the developer of the game "UNDERTALE" and the composer of all the original soundtracks in the game. This time, Yuzuru Hanyu used the music I composed, "MEGALOVANIA", "Bergentruckung" and "ASGORE" in the "RE PRAY" performance. I am really honoured and I still can't believe it. In fact, although this is my first time to watch an ice show live, I am still amazed by Hanyu's superb skating skills. I think every move Hanyu showed must be extremely difficult, but the smoothness of his moves makes people completely unaware of the difficulty... I don't know much about figure skating, and if I were to give an evaluation of the performance, I'm afraid it would be "super awesome, so awesome", so this time please allow me to write my thoughts on other elements of the ice show.

Inspiration from my "UNDERTALE"? Having said that, a special warning! What I'm going to talk about next is not only "UNDERTALE", but there will also be spoilers for the "RE PRAY" performance, so please be careful... I heard that the story outline and some scenes of the "RE PRAY" performance (especially the first half) seem to be inspired by "UNDERTALE", right? I actually watched it and I think there are indeed some similarities. For example... First, about the "replay" structure of the story. As we all know, "UNDERTALE" has two quite extreme routes. One is the killing route where you defeat all enemies to gain experience points and sacrifice everything except yourself to become stronger. The other is the pacifist route where you advance in the game world without hurting anyone. Although the content of the second half of "RE PRAY" is not quite the same as the pacifist route of "UNDERTALE", the "destructive" route in the first half is very similar to the killing route of "UNDERTALE". Defeating all the enemies he encountered, gaining strength and making sacrifices, and finally reaching the incredibly difficult level, this journey made Hanyu-san suffer a lot. This part really reminds people of the final battle in "UNDERTALE" when you choose to defeat all enemies. After that, just like the plot in "UNDERTALE", Hanyu-san's game save was deleted and he had to start from the beginning. The title "RE PRAY" also means to perform "re-prepare" (start over) in order to change the ending of the story. There are also very similar parts in the expression of the image. The scene of a red heart appearing in the middle of the black screen appears several times, which is the symbolic picture of "UNDERTALE". As a game character, Hanyu-san's eyes are also like hyphens, which is also very similar to the protagonist of "UNDERTALE". Also, the scene where Hanyu-san, the game character, finds a flower that looks like it is illuminated by a spotlight is also reminiscent of a scene in the beginning of the game "UNDERTALE". In addition, the corridor that serves as the stage for the scene “where Hanyu-san is in agony when reaching a difficult level" mentioned earlier is exactly the same as the location where the boss battle that "tortured" most of the players of "UNDERTALE" took place. The "final boss" that Hanyu-san fights looks very similar to the final boss in "UNDERTALE". In this way, I found many similarities and was extremely excited to watch. When I was at the venue, I thought, "Eh? Could this be the one from "UNDERTALE"!?", and in a positive sense, I smiled (laughs).

What is the meaning of the story...? Based on this, there are many things in the first half that remind people of "UNDERTALE", but I think the story of this performance can also be explained in another way. Of course, what Hanyu-san meant by "gaining experience points" and "making sacrifices" was not just about defeating the enemy literally. The enemy to be defeated was probably the tournaments he had participated in so far, and the scene of him struggling in the corridor probably symbolized the long years of hard training to achieve a perfect performance. In other words, this was a route that sacrificed all of his private life in order to become the world's number one. However, his time as a competitor ended, and that route also came to an end. Then began the second route. Every performance began with being locked behind a fence, and Hanyu-san realized that his way of survival had trapped him in a small space. He walked out of the cycle of tournaments and refused to play this game over and over again. In this way, he would reach a space where there was nothing. But even so, he was still not free. He was still controlled and trapped by some existence. However, he didn't know what that existence was. So he began to pray. To gain freedom, he prayed to the "god". But who exactly was this "god"? In my opinion, isn't "God" Hanyu's audience? He is just a game character, a puppet controlled to please the audience. He cannot live a normal life and is often forced to play the role of "Hanyu Yuzuru". Then, Hanyu, who began to doubt that he was just a game character, stood on the stage and began to pray in a literal sense in front of the audience. Finally, he found a place he had never seen before. It was an unknown and incredibly beautiful place. "God", that is, the audience, has always regarded Hanyu as a "character". But it is also thanks to the grace of "God" that Hanyu has found new freedom. That is the freedom to challenge new things and keep trying (just like this performance). In addition, Hanyu also used this opportunity to call on the audience to cherish and protect their own freedom and daily life. Of course, this is just my own interpretation, and it is not the result of in-depth research. However, I think the wonderful thing about this performance is that it can be interpreted freely in any way. So, it would be great if everyone could come up with their own interpretations!  

The power I felt through his performance What moved me the most was that I could feel the power of his performance even when he wasn't performing any difficult moves. Here are some scenes that left a deep impression on me: ■ In "A Fleeting Dream" program of "Final Fantasy X" that appeared in the beginning of the ice show, there was a scene where he skated along the curve extending from the huge trees drawn by lights on the ice. That performance instantly moved my heart... Although he was just skating, I felt a sense of nostalgia. The moment I saw it, I thought "This is the best thing I have ever seen in my life" (sorry for the exaggeration). ■ Before "MEGALOVANIA" started, the venue went dark and silent, and Hanyu-san took his time to slowly enter the ice. The only sound echoing in the venue was the sound of his skates, raising anticipation for the next program. ■ As a fanservice, he put his face close to the camera and covered it with his hand. Everyone couldn't help but cheer and scream. I did the same. The audience around me was mostly female, and I was the only foreign male voice. This development seemed a little strange... ■ He took a tissue from the Pooh tissue box and blew his nose several times. After blowing, he checked his snot for a while (no, this kind of thing doesn't matter at all, I'm so sorry...). Anyway, it was a really wonderful performance. It would be great if we could see the recording someday... If so, I hope everyone will watch it! But... maybe you can hear my cheers from the audience... I'm sorry everyone!

as a fellow music enthusiast do u have opinions on the undertale soundtrack (which is ur favorite song...) i also often think about the differences between the undertale megalovania & the homestuck megalovania. fascinating things. both awesome. anyways i think its safe 2 assume napstablook is up there as a character youd really like from undertale, if not ur fave theyre Up There

u woulge be right about me enjoying napstablook hehehe but not my fav character

my fav trax are

another medium (extremely stimmy 4 me. one of them songs that made me realise how much i love percussion. im a big big fan of songz that have a kind of clockwork-esque beat to them. if i can imagine gears rotating to a song its probably 1 of my fav songs)

bergentruckung/asgore (the weird desperation 2 this one as it goes on always struck me. absolute insane moment the first time i heard this)

amalgam (i luv mother's ost & this one is extremely mother-esque)

dummy! (just goes)

metal crusher (i love music that sounds kinda pissed off that ur listening to it? the amount going on in this 1 is so fun & hectic.)

your best nightmare.

i luv the amnt of variety in it while still being rlly cohesive & having this exact same kinda charm throughout, its like this awesome amalgamation of everywhere toby fox had been with his music up til that point. i think that soundtrack scrapes every human emotion under da fucking sun

its scary that its almost @ a point of being nostalgic 2 me

in my opinion the homestuck version of megalovania is better just bc of the guitar haha. mashups that put em 2gether r peeeeaaak.

i used 2 have another medium as my alarm tone & its such a good song that even doing THAT sumhow didnt ruin it 4 me lmao.

[danstupidaushit]

mockup for sans’ fight, the name of the song would have been BAD OMEN I do remember that i wanted to make mockups for all of the characters, and not only fight mockups but overworld mockups as well the song names i had already prepared were these: Your Best Friend = Ordinary Ghost fight = Ghost spite sans. = going anywhere? NYEH HEH HEH = It's MR. PAPYRUS to you! Bonetrousle = Destined for Greatness! Metal Crusher = Malware Beware Death by Glamour = Power of Friendship ASGORE = PREMONITION Bergentruckung = Welturtergang MEGALOVANIA = BAD OMEN

[reddbuster]

bergentruckung and asgore always give me chills when I hear them aughgh so so good. undertale ost i love you

[undertale-ost-tournament]

Me: Wow, people seem to really care about this Bergentrückung vs Amalgam poll, I'm getting a lot of notes about it. I wonder how many votes it has, most of the others have about 300 none of my previous polls have had more than about 700

GUYS ITS BEEN ONE DAY

[pepiempanadas]

I csn downplay how much undertale affected me but at the end of the day, to what song do i drift to when im playing any instrument?

Thats right ruins and bergentruckung

[ghost-orion]

today i realized that fingers in his ass is ASGORE+bergentruckung and NOT megalovania. i'm weirdly mad lmfao

[pinkberrypunch]

have any of you ever put into consideration the fact that the quizzy menu melody in webkinz sounds a lot like bergentruckung from undertale

[cricketkyum]

it should be illegal for bergentruckung and asgore to not play immediately after each other
