Unused Text

This is a sub-page of Deltarune/Chapter 5.

UNUSED#

Yet again, the UNUSED script extends a bit, following up on Chapter 4. This one spans from unused_0 to unused_8.

Modified Chapter 2 leftovers#

In an almost ironic fashion, two lines of UNUSED from Chapter 2 were modified to have their spacing changed. Even still they're unreferenced within the code, only being found in lang_ja.json.

Ralsei's Reaction to Red Ribbon Equip#

Near the beginning of this chapter's Dark World is a chest containing a RedRibbon. This directly reflects a similar chest found in Chapter 1, and Ralsei comments on this. Found within the obj_dw_garden_ribbonchest script is code meant to change what Ralsei says, seemingly based on what the player did with the first ribbon. However, Chapter 1 did not actually store this information. As such, the Chapter 5 code only uses the first variation of the text, and doesn't check the save data at all (aside from setting an otherwise-unused local variable chapter1equipflag to "500").

Used	Unused Variation 1	Unused Variation 2
* Kind of makes me... want   to wear one again.  ＊ なつかしいね… 　 またリボンを 　 つけたくなっちゃう。	* It'd be nice... to have   you put on one me again.  ＊ あのときみたいに… 　 ボクに　リボンをつけて 　 くれたら　うれしいな。	* It'd be nice... if you   wore one again, Kris.  ＊ あのときみたいに… 　 クリスが　リボンをつけてる 　 ところを見られたらな…

Ralsei's Reaction to the BrokenScarf#

Ralsei leaves the party before the FloweryScarf becomes the BrokenScarf, making it impossible to equip it to him.

Noelle's Reaction to Chapter 5 Items#

Just like with the previous few chapters, Chapter 5 items have unique dialogue when using them on Noelle despite her never joining the party at this point of the game.

Noelle at the Burning Café#

Another returning Noelle-related unused situation with its own text: at Castle Town's café, asking Rouxls for a "recommendation" still checks for who's in your party, and like in Chapters 2 and 4, this includes a unique dialogue string for Noelle despite her never being able to visit it.

English	Japanese
* For yon festive ewe, I   recommendeth...   helpingeth me fix the   ice cream machine.	＊ そちらのホリデー雌羊には… 　 アイスクリームマシンの 　 修理を　手伝ってほしす。

The English version of this dialogue actually ends up going past the bounds of the text box when seen in the game.

Aborted Weird Route Ferris Wheel Ride with Noelle#

Text for the unused scene where Kris and Noelle ride the ferris wheel after aborting the Weird Route.

English	Japanese
* Umm...	＊ …
* ... sure, Kris. If you   want to.	＊ うん。いいよ。 　 クリスが　そうしたいなら。
* ... Kris... a couple nights   ago, you...	＊ …ねえ　クリス。 　 なんにちか　まえの　よるに…
* You came and reassured me. You   told me everything was a dream.	＊ わたしの　ところへ　きて　 　 ぜんぶ　ゆめだったって 　 いってくれたよね。
* ... hearing your voice then, it   made me so happy...	＊ …クリスの　こえを　きいて　 　 わたし　ほんとうに　うれしかった…
* Everything... is back to   normal.	＊ ぜんぶ…もとどおりに 　 なった　って。
* ...	＊ …
* But are you sure   it was all a dream?	＊ でも　ほんとうに　ぜんぶ 　 ゆめだったのかな？
* I'm... I'm not saying I want to   believe it. That would be   terrible.	＊ …げんじつだったと　おもいたい 　 わけじゃないの。 　 だって　そんなの　ひどすぎる…
* But if there was some piece...   just some little piece...	＊ でも…ほんの　すこしだけ…
* If some piece of that power we   had was real	＊ あのとき　わたしたちが　つかえた 　 ちからの　ほんの　すこしだけでも 　 ほんものだったら…
* Wouldn't it be amazing?	＊ すてきだと　おもわない？
* Kris, don't turn away, come   closer.	＊ クリス　ちゃんと　こっちをみて。 　 こっちへ　きて。
* Explain how you knew what my   dream was, Kris...	＊ わたしの　ゆめのこと　 　 どうして　しっていたの…？
* H... huh?!	＊ …えっ！？
* Bullseye, haha!	＊ めいちゅうだ！　ハハッ！
* S-Susie?	＊ ス…スージィ？
* Finally hit your window   with a dirt clod. Heh.	＊ オレが　なげた　つちの 　 かたまり　やっと　まどに 　 あたったぜ。
* ... fahaha, thanks,   Susie.	＊ …ふはは。 　 もう　スージィったら。
* (Well, THAT brought me   back to reality...)	＊ (でも　おかげで　げんじつに 　 もどれた…)

Noelle's Title#

And to cap off the Noelle section, she gets a new title on the status menu for the first time since Chapter 2!

Unused Castle Rudinn Dialogue#

Unused dialogue for the castle Rudinn in Castle Town that can be found in the Japanese translation file, translated to Japanese.

Japanese	English (Translated)
＊ この町には　一流の愛が 　 あふれてる。	* Your Town's love is First-Class.
＊ だれも文句は言えない。 　 唯一文句を言いそうなひとは　 　 この町に　いないから。	* No one can complain. The only   person who might complain is not   in this place.
＊ この町には　回復中の愛が 　 あふれてる。	* Your Town's love is Healing.
(an unknown sound effect plays, possibly a heal sound)  ＊ 聞こえたかい？ 　 この町が立てた音だ。 　 ナイスアイデアだね。	(an unknown sound effect plays, possibly a heal sound)  * Did you hear that? That's the   sound this place made. That's a   great sign.
＊ この町には　未完成の愛が 　 あふれてる。	* Your Town's love is Unfinished.
＊ 取りこぼしが出てしまうのは 　 よくあることだから 　 気にすることはない。	* It’s common to miss a few   things, so there's no need to   worry about it.
＊ ここは　本物の世界じゃない。 　 だけど　これは　はたして 　 本物の愛かな？	* This isn't the real world. But   is this... really true love?

Unused Trashy Trio Text#

Some early text for Trashy Trio that can be found in the Japanese translation file. First is an early version of the text that shows at the start of the battle, and second is an early version of the Weather Duo's dialogue at the end of the battle.

Early	Final
* The new most popular trio in town!	* The world's most popular trio!
Because if you're a throuple, we'll have to stop you...	Because if you're a throuple we'll have to stop you...

There is also unused dialogue meant for Trashy.

I'll show you
the power of
"something
thrown away!"

Trashy... Rush!

Shut Up#

Unused text found in the Japanese translation file meant for the platformer player object of a character saying "Hey, shut up!". This string is duplicated 3 times in the file.

Hey, shut up!

Early Infinite Money Box#

An early version of the box containining infinite money. It does not give Flowery Dolllars when opened.

 * (You opened the treasure
  chest.)
* (Inside was infinite money)

Unused Platforming Objects#

Various text intended to be used by objects meant for platformer objects that have been removed. These can be found in the Japanese translation file.

Bamboo Platform#

Text for an unused bamboo platform called obj_plat_bamboo, of which unused sprites for it exist. Susie would be able to cut it down to a certain height, and Ralsei would be able to regrow it.

Bamboo

I can cut it to this height.

I can regrow it.

Conveyor#

Text for an unused conveyor called obj_plat_conveyor.

Conveyor

It's too slow.

Unused dialogue from a Shi exists meant for a removed object called obj_plat_talk_trigger that mentions conveyors, suggesting that there was once an area with a conveyor that brought you to a Shi guarding a chest.

Fight me!

Don't resist the conveyor!

Wait, where are you going?

If you want this chest you gotta get past me.

Come at me already!!

IT HAS GREAT LOOT IN IT

Early Umbrella#

A label for an early version of the umbrellas, called obj_plat_enm_umbrella.

Umbrella

Frying Pan Handle#

A label for a handle of an unused frying pan object called obj_plat_enm_fryingpan_assist. This may have been intended for a scrapped bullet pattern for Green.

Handle

Early Overworld Shi Dialogue#

Early dialogue for the Shi found near the beginning of Cliffs that can be found in the Japanese translation file. This dialogue is meant for an object called obj_dw_cliff_encounters, which has no traces at all in the final game. Based on how it's named, it's possible that it was meant for an unused room that was removed from the final build.

Flower Castle#

Early Entrance Cutscene & Unused Face Expressions#

The Japanese translation file contains untranslated dialogue for an early version of the cutscene that plays when first entering Flower Castle. The dialogue doesn't have any text marking what emotion the speaker uses, so either that aspect wasn't finished or it was handled in the code that was removed. Additionally, some lines spoken by Flowery in the final cutscene don't show his face, but still have information for what face was intended to be shown. Those will also be shown, with those text boxes being indicated.

Early	Final, alongside some hidden faces

Trial Evidence Hints#

In the Japanese translation file are unused hint dialogue for the trials in Blue and Yellow's battle. Blanked variables that were intended to contain these strings can be found in the create code of obj_blue_enemy, alongside an unused give_hint function that would be triggered if act_con is set to 0.2, which it never is. Based on this, they were likely intended to be for a scrapped ACT.

Orange Chase Door#

Unused text from the Create code for a non-existant object called obj_fusuma_door_orangechase which can be found in the Japanese translation file. The first string seems to be a placeholder line of just "Fusuma", and then the second is an unknown character, possibly Susie, telling Kris to "get this open the door".

Fusuma

Hey Kris, let's get this open the door.

Alternate Aqua and Seth Hangout Ending#

Part of the Café hangout scene for Aqua and Seth varies based on whether all flowers have been recruited or not, but having all flowers recruited is a requirement to unlock that particular scene in the first place, so the incomplete-recruitment variant cannot be seen.

I... I'll give you a hint!
   Something as cool as a
   bluebird...

That a blue bird... also
   thinks is the coolest!

 * ...

 * ...

KRIS! Hey, help me out
   here!!!

Aqua and Yellow's Feelings About Helping Asgore#

The Japanese translation file contains unused and untranslated text for the cutscene that plays when you first get to the top of Flower Castle where Flowery asks the other flowers how they feel about helping Asgore. Normally only Seth and Orange respond, leaving these two lines from Aqua and Yellow unused.

I don't know! But I'm having
   fun!

I have a hat!

Unused Triple Shi Dialogue#

Unused dialogue meant for the triple Shi fight at the top of Flower Castle, which can be found in the Japanese translation file translated to Japanese.

Pink#

Early LovelyBoy Text#

Early text for Ralsei's LovelyBoy ACT that can be found in the Japanese translation file, which is split up into two text boxes instead of just being one.

Early	Final
* HEARTS came out!  * Max TP up!	* Ralsei looked adorable! * HEARTS came out! * MAX TP up!

Unseen Dokis#

When using the ShareFood ACT on Pink, her response and the amount of dokis gained are defined for each individual consumable in the game, including those that are unused and thus normally impossible to give.

As the FavSandwich is the only item that gives 15 dokis, that version of the line pertaining to the amount gained also goes unused:

Unused Pink Date Choices#

7 unused test strings found in the create code for the date section of Pink's fight, all used as placeholders for choices.

test 0

test 1

test 2

test 3

test 4

test 5

test 6

There also exist various placeholder choices found within the Japanese translation file, which were removed the final script. Note that the choices "Yes" and "Yes!" exist twice in the file.

Yes

Yes!

Yup

okee

yay

seven

eight

nine

Afterwards in the same file are various basic responses. "Normal" is duplicated 4 times in the file.

Normal

Cute

Weird

Yep

Yeah

Obviously

Sure

Definitely

No

Positively

Essentially

Yes

Unused Flowery Fight Text#

Some unused text for the Flowery fight that can be found in the Japanese translation file.

JusticeZ ACT#

An unused variation of the Justice act from the Yellow and Blue phase of the fight.

JusticeZ

Placeholder Orange Soul Tutorial#

Placeholders for Ralsei's dialogue explaining how to use the orange soul. These are set to use emotion ID 61, which is used to set the character's face to the unused spr_face_placeholder sprite. The first line also doesn't have any actual button inserted into it, instead using "[button]" as a placeholder.

Early	Final
* Kris...  hold down   [button] to charge a   dash, and release the   button to use it!	* Kris... hold down [Z] to   charge...
	* ... and release it to   dash!
* You'll always dash the   same amount regardless of   how long you hold down   the button.	* Tap the button for a   short dash, and hold it   to go a little longer!

Unused Flowery Jarona Dialogue#

Unused dialogue for Flowery that may have been intended to be shown before he does his Jarona attack.

If you're so
eager to DASH
to the end...

How about
my Jarona!?

Leafing so
soon!?

Change Your Acts#

Unused dialogue that might have been used when your ACTs change. It's unknown which character it belongs to, but it's most likely Flowery.

Time to change
your acts!

Early Seth Dialogue#

An early version of one of Seth's lines of dialogue, which is missing the word "get".

Early Susie Dialogue#

Slightly early versions of two of Susie's lines of dialogue when using her idea. The first is a line shown when using her idea again after failing the climb initially, and the second is the line where she distracts Flowery with line breaks manually placed in it.

Early	Final
* (You got it this time,   k?)	* (You got it this time,   Kris?)
* Hey, Flowery!   Asgore's falling   over there

Flavor Text#

Flowers Grew!#

Unused dialogue saying "Flowers grew", which is duplicated in the translation file. There is also dialogue saying that your party's DEFENSE dropped located right after this, which could possibly be connected.

 * (Flowers grew!)

 * Party's DEFENSE dropped this
  turn!

Smells Like Flowers#

Unused flavor text located in obj_flowery_enemy that doesn't have an equivalent string in English. This is identical to the used flavor text string in the other flowers' fights.

Japanese	English (translated)
＊ 花のニオイがする。	* Smells like flowers.

Condescending Flowery#

Unused flavor text for Flowery acting condescending.

 * Flowery acted condescending!

PLACEHOLDER#

Incredibly concise placeholder dialogue found in obj_npc_wrapper.

 * PLACEHOLDER.

Example Enemy Text#

Dialogue meant for the example enemy.

 * EXAMPLE - AT 0 DF 0
Tells you all sorts of things.

 * Hello, i am
an example
text!

 * You can use
msgset_add
to add more!

 * It also accepts
complex functions.

I'm a message.
I have been made
an example of.

Thank you,
very flattering.

The last piece of text seems to be leftover placeholder dialogue for Seth's battle.

Weird Route Finale#

A string version of the text on the final screen of this chapter's Weird Route, which is rendered as a sprite instead in the final game. The used version is also in title case rather than all-caps.

INSERT
CHAPTER 7 SIDE B

Placeholder Release Year#

20XX

A release year for Chapter 6 that was intended to appear at the end of the credits. Clearly the year wasn't decided on, though the game's Steam page was updated when Chapter 5 released to claim that they're aiming for a 2027 release. This line can only be found in the Japanese language file.
