* During the Neutral Route: why does Asgore {{spoiler|smash the "MERCY" button before he fights you? At first sight you'll assume is because he won't grant ''you'' any mercy. But the fridge moment is when you realize that the Mercy button can only be used by the player, thus Asgore is stating that '''he''' doesn't want to receive any Mercy from the player, not the other way around; likely since Asgore is so riddled with guilt about the things he's done to the point he feels he's beyond redemption and doesn't deserve mercy.}}
*As noted on his page on tvTV tropesTropes, asgoreAsgore is a played with but subverted satanic archetype, as heshe's shown to be the king of a species bansihedbanished to an underworld who seeks to gain vemgermcevengeance and uses human souls to get it, howeverwith itsseveral characteristics that are call outs to the most stereotypical depiction of devils: horns, big pitchfork, demonic-sounding name, a story of having being vanished to the underground... However, it's revealed heshe's an anti villain[[Anti-Villain]] and The Fallen Child is who much better fits the lable..label. But this actually makes alota lot of sense for those who have read the[[The bibleBible]]. inIn theThe bibleBible the whole bog[[Big Red redDevil]] devilstereotypical appearenceappearance never appearsshows and isironically ironacallythat description is the opposite of his actual appearenceappearance, this being a beutifulbeautiful angel of pure light...wich which also soumdssounds like charathe Fallen Child.
*Ive heard someSome people accuse the game of a broken[[Broken aesopAesop]] because it preaches [[pacifism]] amdand dont"don't judge a book by its cover" but having charachterscharacters like floweyFlowey who are horifficallyhorrifically evil (wichwhich for those who have played the game know is a terrible argumemtargument) and plain horrific... but even then it arguably strengthens the aesopAesop of "dontdon't judge by appearences", because the bizzaremost bizarre looking monsters are usually anti villains at worst, and the harmless looking ones like floweyFlowey or The Fallen Child are actually the most devious.

* A '[[My God, What Have I Done?]]' moment for the player: If you've been {{spoiler|killing creatures throughout the game, Sans shows up near the end and informs you that LV doesn't stand for "level", but instead for Level of Violence... And EXP stands for Execution Power, not Experience. [[You Bastard|You murderer]].}}
** Even worse is if you decide to {{spoiler|grind monsters for kills early in the game, in order to gain 'EXP' quickly, as you would in any other RPG. If you keep doing this, eventually there'll be no creatures left; any random encounter is met with an empty screen, and the background music will become ominiousominous... At that point you should realize that you've been partaking in a genocide.}}
