I have a theory about the SOUL modes in Deltarune and how they may connect to the bosses and their personalities.


Isn't it odd how the yellow SOUL, which is based on justice, is used in the battle against Spamton NEO, a crooked and backstabbing salesman who stole the power of the NEO Armor? Regardless of if you fight him or spare him, he falls regardless and is stopped, bringing him to justice in a sense. What if each bonus boss's personality/fight is based on the opposite of what their soul mode represents?

You could apply this to Jevil too, since the red souls isn't attached to anything in particular, so Jevil wouldn't really have to be an opposite. Thouhh, if you WERE to go that route, given how the red soul is used to order you and your party, which is emphasized in the snowgrave route too, you could argue that Jevil's personality being chaos, or A LACK OF ORDER, would be the counter to that. And regardless of how you defeat him, he's brought into some form of order, whether by being your weapon, or going to rest for a century.

So does this mean that say, a Light Blue SOUL boss would be impatient and hotheaded, or maybe a Green SOUL boss, unkind and rude, and so on? Who knows really, but it is an interesting thing to think about.

When I get to FLORALSHUFFLE's character profiles, I'll add some sprites of the character on the bottom corner for some extra reference. Here's Greedier's, for both of his normal and boss design. (Starpet is there for comparison)

Silly MIDus doodles (And MIDus if he was "Tobycore")

Drew these up for scale reference/style practice. I think this is the first time the Spamton role is SMALLER than the Jevil role. Funny how that works. But yeah, here's MIDus' final designs as sprites.
