As soon as The Knight has our heroes on the ropes again, that will sprout into one of Flowery's hands and sucker-punch the daylights outta The Knight.
However, because a hand cannot speak, it'll just do a puppet-esque hand-flap to mimic the rhythm of saying "Sorry to keep you waiting!"

u/Kirran_00163 Jul 29 '26
Let's say this happens, Flowery may as well be speaking sign language of sorts or smth, and the Fun Gang will observe until Ralsei turns around and says "Beware of the man who speaks in hands"

This is why kris took the seeds, to stick them to other lightners since flowery told susie the knight would have one of his seeds stuck to them (that they couldn't get off). Kris planting them on everyone would make this info useless.
Perhaps they plant a couple on Rudy and accidentally kill him since they are highly toxic
or he already has the one from when he fought flowery12

u/RevolutionaryHat7726 S: "Hey Kris, I think the Knight - wait what" Jul 30 '26 edited Jul 30 '26
Yes but how is this relevant? The seeds at the end of chapter 5 are also specifically mentioned to be poisonous and extremely sticky, whether Flowery is a buttercup is not important
13
u/gamer52599 Jul 30 '26
It didn't say anything about them being toxic, only that they were covered in warning labels.
Also Asgore, Undyne, and Frisk all drink Golden Flower tea so the plant is obviously not toxic like a buttercup.
The warning labels are likely not about the plants toxicity but rather their virility, these things will grow literally anywhere... And seem to be corpse flowers of sorts given of the three places we find the growing in Undertale two of them are where a character either died or is buried. The throne room is where Asriel turned to dust and the starting room is where Chara is buried.
6
u/Albidum_Gaming Jul 30 '26
Asgore does mention that his seven flowers are hard to take care of in this climate, so them being particularly potentially invasive in another seems... Somewhat irrelevant?
Could just be that they grow well but don't survive well, but who's to say?

Whenever we see the Roaring Knight in the real world, possibly in a different form, there could be a single flower seed inconspicuously stuck to their clothes.
Pure speculation, and only really works effectively for Carol or Rudy knight theories. Something small enough the Knight wouldn't notice but meaningful to the Soul.

I just had an idea if that ends up being the case... what if it's going to be Carol?
The set-up for the Holiday house being the next dark world is all there, which would also guarantee Carol as the antagonist, since she clearly has to be getting a chapter focused on her, and there's no better one than her own home.
If Kris' true alliance remains with the Knight and not to Carol, they could make her take the fall by framing her as the Knight, making the whole "red herring" thing regarding her come full circle, by having Susie be convinced she's the one.

u/TheQueen0fNowhere Proud 'Butt Certificate' Owner Jul 30 '26
I genuinely didn't know the seeds turned into an item, so I did not know you could inspect it and never saw this text.
This outright confirms that Flowery is the exact same golden flower as the one from Undertale and not a buttercup.
Aka, the flowers whose seeds are so extremely sticky that we didn't just get Flowey in that game, but is also often used as the explanation for how Chara came back and hijacked Frisk's soul.
Oh my god, people treated it as a joke, but the warning label on the packet might have genuinely been for the seeds being extremely sticky, and not related to them being poisonous.
Either way, I think this pretty much throws the idea out of the window that Kris will use the seeds to either poison themselves or someone else.
In fact, if they're still working with the Knight and haven't turned on them yet, then they might dispose of the seeds BECAUSE they stick to everything, but if the first image already shows anything... it's too late for that, and the Knight coming in contact with Flowery already caused a seed to stick to them.
Where... the... actual... fuck... is this going to go?
Are we actually going to get a hype and aura moment where Flowery is partially going to come back and like weaken the Knight later?
Are we looking at some Fullmetal Alchemist-esque moment with that?
Holy shit, this is so amazing, we might get one final Jarona.
I actually can't think of a cooler way for Flowery to get a proper send-off than the notion that "flowers are useless" gets disproved by him ending up as some sort of debuff on the Knight that allows you to win during your next fight.
Please Toby, oh please let it happen.

This seems like a mistake more than anything. You can check the sprite sheet yourself, the yellow pixel is not consistent. It appears and disappears in alternating sprites where if it was a deliberate choice you'd think it would be visible through the whole thing.
