Man, this line REALLY hits differently after reading the latest newsletter, doesn't it?

Many people have debated the meaning of this line and how Asriel felt about Chara when he said it, and now, after reading his letter, we finally have a better understanding of what his feelings.

If you remember, Asriel said that Chara loved the number 9 because if they reach it, "nothing can hurt you" and "nothing can hurt anyone." This is important because it shows that Asriel understands (now more than ever) that Chara's failures as a sibling were tied to the trauma they suffered on the surface and that their desire to become invincible wasn't just because they were self-serving, psychopathic or just plain evil.

At the same time, he understands that just because Chara wanted to achieve power so that "nothing can hurt anyone," it doesn't excuse them for the hurt that they ended up causing Asriel, even if they didn't mean to hurt him.

So, while Asriel rightfully says that Chara is not an "ideal friend", THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE THINKS THEY DIDN'T HAVE GOOD IN THEM, and the newsletter helps prove that!

So, in the end, Chara is just like every other character in Undertale: far from good, but also not a terrible person either.

i think the fact that we finally have some possible clear motive for chara in the no mercy route is very interesting. of course, many of us have speculated for a long time on many possible motives but the fact that ultimately it might have just been “nobody can hurt anyone anymore” is. very apt and sad

also coping very poorly with the implications of “you become invincible. nobody can hurt you anymore”. the implications of their life on the surface have always been there and were very heavily hinted at, but this seems to essentially make that so much clearer. they didn’t want to hurt anymore. they didn’t want the people they cared about to be hurt. they were just a scared and angry child
