Animosity

## Glitchtale

*"You want to see HATE? Then let me show you my Animosity."*
―Chara to HATE
***Animosity*** is the eighth episode of the second season of *Glitchtale*.

## Synopsis

Undyne deals with The Kumuzilla, Chara is locked in battle with a HATE-controlled Asriel, and the skeleton trio reunite for a final battle against Bete Noire.

## Plot

Two of Rave Rutrow's employees, Tobias and Raven, transport the Avalon to Determino City Park. Rave drives Undyne the Undying and Ronan Cass to a spot where the former can attack. After dropping them off, Rave drives away and recalls the night his brother Noah Rutrow died. In that memory, young Rave and Noah are traveling by car, and Rave complains about their mother, Grace Rutrow, resenting him as they have a strained relationship.

Noah assures that Grace simply knows that Rave could do great things to help loads of people, but Rave is not interested. He comforts Rave over his social anxiety and admits to be proud of him. While being heartened, an incoming truck crashes into their car, sending them falling off a cliff, and Noah tragically dies in front of Rave. When Grace is informed, she spitefully wishes that Rave died instead.

Snapping back to the present, Rave and Raven arrive at the park. Rave and his workers successfully utilize the Avalon to trap the Kumuzilla, while Ronan slays Kumulings to clear a path for Undyne. The Heroine leaps onto a tall building, and after firing a massive spear through an opening of the Avalon's Shield of Kindness, but the Kumuzilla survives and swipes Undyne, so Rave's team encloses the abomination inside.

While everyone holds against the enemies, Undyne tries to get back up, knowing that everyone is counting on her. After motivating herself for Alphys, she builds up an immense amount of Determination, transforming into a fully armored True Hero. While she saves Ronan, the Kindness wizards are being drained, weakening the Avalon. Rave destroys a few Fear Blobs with his magical weapon and begins single-handedly powering up the Avalon.

Undyne rises into the air and, much to the immense amazement of Ronan and Rave, fires the colossal Spear of Justice at the Kumuzilla, effectively obliterating it. Unfortunately, the blast causes the Avalon to drain Rave's SOUL, knocking him unconscious. Ronan catches Undyne, who finally finds closure for Alphys's death, as she is plummeting to the ground, while Raven finds that Rave has clinically passed away.

Rave wakes up in the Afterlife, but a barrier prevents him from seeing Jessica Grey and Alina Grey Rutrow. Noah, reuniting with his brother, warns him that he would not return to life if he passes. He further encourages Rave to continue on as Determino City's leader, admitting that he is proud before Rave is resuscitated by Raven. Upon waking up, he regains his Justice before he could fully be filled with Perseverance. Rave responds to Raven that it was his responsibility as the city's leader to protect his people.

In the middle of the city, Chara battles Asriel Dreemurr and shows him his Heart Locket, confusing Asriel as to how there are two lockets since he barely remembers Chara destroying his own. While being overwhelmed with childhood memories, Asriel is driven by HATE to try and stab Chara, but he resists. The battle between Chara and the HATE-fuelled Asriel continues, and Asriel is getting the upper hand. The brainwashed monster lashes out his emotions over Chara's plan that got them both killed, so Chara apologizes, allowing Asriel to momentarily regain control and plead to be killed to eradicate HATE. Suddenly, HATE pierces through Chara's SOUL, linking the brothers's minds.

Inside the mind space, Chara meets Flowey, who clutches onto a Monster Royal Family photo, which is Asriel and Flowey's last heartfelt memory left. Flowey affirms that "It's kill or be killed" and requests for Chara to kill him and Asriel. Chara refuses and reveals his SOUL, recalling hope's power to achieve the impossible. He allows HATE to enter his SOUL, slowly freeing Asriel, as a terrified Flowey watches. Asriel is finally freed, and with his own will and friendship, Chara manages to tame the substance and prevent it from taking control. The two brothers embrace each other afterwards, crying and joking around a bit.

Toriel is haunted by hallucinations, and when Bête Noire is about to execute her, a stoic W. D. Gaster intervenes and attacks using his Chromatic Magic hands. After Bête flees to the street, Gaster coldly commands Toriel to tend to Asgore Dreemurr before leaving. Bête gets ambushed by Sans and Papyrus, who warmly reunite with Gaster. The skeleton trio summon their great strengths and powers against Bête, and when she tries to escape, Papyrus prevents her from doing so. After using HATE to save herself, a furious Sans attempts to use his special attack, Gaster Blastermination, but Bête performs Rhabdophobia to steal the Blasters.

After shielding Sans from the Blasters with his kindness hands, Gaster faints before Bête tries to fire at him and Papyrus, but fortunately, Sans summons another set of Blasters to equal the powers Bête's set. The two blasts clash with each other, and Sans conjures up all his magic and determination to win the collision. This causes Sans to melt, and after he succeeds in protecting his family, he turns to dust and his SOUL shatters in front of them.

Papyrus is distraught, and Gaster, realizing that all of his efforts to save his son are for naught, finally snaps. He then slowly reclaims his magic from Papyrus's SOUL and challenges Bête. Her attacks are countered by the increasingly more powerful Gaster, and filled with pure, utter rage, Gaster utilizes his ultimate attack, Polychromatism, which summons a massive Gaster Blaster, two giant Duality hands, and seven small hands. The grieving father proceeds to brutally tear Bête apart and strike her with multiple determination beams, finally killing Bête. When he tries to vaporize Bête's corpse, Gaster is stopped by Papyrus for the sake of both their SOULs.

Papyrus's magic is restored, Gaster faints and Bête's body is crumbling away. However, since Bête is dead, the HATE within her is no longer suppressed by her, thus it is unleashed. The sentient dark substance consumes Bête's carcass and gains her powers, and when it tries to slash Papyrus, Chara jumps in and takes the brunt of the hit. As HATE begins to tower over Chara, Asriel, Papyrus and Gaster, a brave Chara challenges it to a final battle, showing his animosity.

## Trivia

* This episode's title was announced in one of Camila Cuevas's live streams.
* This episode was originally meant to be combined with *Ḣ̸͈a̷̞̽ẗ̵̥́e̸̟͒*, but had been split due to timing issues.
	+ As a result, this episode technically has two trailers, one shared with *Ḣ̸͈a̷̞̽ẗ̵̥́e̸̟͒*.
* Animosity is "tamed" HATE as Chara can put his will over HATE's goals.
	+ The difference between this and just small amounts of HATE is that even tiny amounts of HATE can influence the host's actions.
* The definition of Animosity is "a strong feeling of dislike/anger".
* This is the first episode of the second season of *Glitchtale* to not acknowledge Frisk.
* This is chronologically the last episode where Bête Noire physically appears.
* Sans greets W. D. Gaster with "heya", a reference to how the former greets the latter in *Your Best Friend*.
* Chara dodges Asriel Dreemurr's attacks with his Sword of Determination, a reference to how Chara dodges Sans's bone attack in *Megalomaniac*.
* Papyrus looks at his hands after Gaster's hallucinated death, a reference to Undyne looking at her hands while mourning Alphys in *Love*.
* Gaster says "C o m e" to Bête, a reference to Chara saying "COME" to challenge Frisk, Sans, Gaster and Flowey in *Your Best Friend*.
* Chara saves Papyrus and Gaster's lives by taking a slash across his back from HATE, a reference to how Frisk saves Sans's life in *Megalomaniac*.
* Chara says "SO BE IT." to HATE before challenging it, a reference to his line before battling Asriel in *Continue*.
* Gaster blocks Bête's scythe in a similar manner to how Undyne the Undying blocks Bête's attack in *Love*.
* Archive footage from *Game Over* is used in this episode.
* Flowey says "I'll kill everyone you love", a reference to when Flowey is spared in a Neutral Route in *Undertale*.
* Although Veir is credited as a co-writer, Camila Cuevas confirmed he was only a story consultant and that he had coerced her to credit him as one.
