HATE

*"Do you know what black means? It's HATE."*
―Chara to Omega Flowey[src]
**HATE** is a construct of magic accidentally produced by Irral, being a manifestation of the intense emotion of the same name, summoned in the SOUL of someone who is extensively despised. During Frisk's attempt on the Genocide Route, HATE manifested inside him and was infused into Chara, brainwashing him into a megalomaniac. Blinded by HATE, Chara sought to erase the timeline forever while HATE was feeding off his Determination. Fortunately, Asriel Dreemurr expressing his love for Chara freed the latter from HATE's control, and after the Barrier was destroyed, HATE escaped into Determino, where it was contained by the Anti-Monsters Department. It was then consumed by Akumu, which both enhanced and corrupted Bête Noire. Since everyone in Determino loathed Bête, HATE had been increasing in strength, preparing to enact total annihilation, but Bête had been suppressing it as well as using it to brainwash enemies such as Asriel. When a portion of HATE was absorbed by Chara, he managed to tame it into animosity. Bête's death resulted in HATE's wrath being unleashed, gaining more power from both Fear and determination, however, in the Battle of Determino, HATE was vanquished by Chara and Asriel.

## Biography

### Prequel

An unknown wizard came into contact with HATE, inverted their trait, and sacrificed their soul to create a Bête Noire. After this, the Bête Noire spell to be forbidden. After an unknown amount of time, Agate Lightvale came into contact with HATE, inverted her trait, and after murdering her family and realizing she was dying, sacrificed her soul to create the Bête Noire that is the antagonist of Season 2.

### Before Season 1

The first vessel for the hate was Frisk, as they were consumed by it. During Frisk's genocide route, it overcame them, but eventually left and took over Chara during Frisk's reset in Megalomaniac, only worsening by every moment that passed.

### Season 1

*Main article: Season 1*

Ever since the first episode, HATE has been with Chara and transformed them to become evil while giving them more power. Chara's feelings and emotions were erased thanks to this substance, which meant that Chara could even kill the person who Chara loves the most with a sadistic-like behavior.

In Continue, HATE directed Chara to kill Asriel after objecting to their demands. Whenever Asriel tried to tell Chara an old moment or try talking to them, HATE would destroy Chara's feelings more and encourage them to kill him more bluntly. With love, Asriel managed to get HATE out of Chara, but Chara died because they no longer had the Determination to live. Then Asriel used their soul as a vessel of the seven soul traits that spawned in Continue.

### Season 2

*Main article: Season 2*

When the barrier broke, HATE escaped from **Mount Ebott** but was seized by the AMD. They placed it in a vial, as Jessica Grey began a hidden research project on what HATE was, and Bete ends up helping her figure that out in a conversation. However, Jessica lost the vial to Bete in Dust due to Bete forcefully stealing it from Jessica by using torture.

When Bete was "*killed*" by Undyne in Love, Kumu ate the HATE vial to save Bete. HATE immediately found a new host (who is Bete) and used the "**Regeneration**" ability to bring back the disintegrated parts of Bete. Despite this power, Bete ends up fleeing as they felt the side effects of the substance and were losing their self-control.

Frisk’s soul is seen as having a drip of HATE. Within the next part, Bete begins getting the blunt of Frisk, and in a last-ditch effort, she uses HATE on Sans' own soul, reviving him under the control of them. However, with Papyrus entering the scene, they used their love to remove the HATE from Sans, and so Bete fled once again.

In My Promise, Bete uses some HATE on Asriel's soul, reviving him in the process. Later, Bete makes Asriel battle Toriel and Asgore. Toriel and Asgore desperately try to save Asriel from HATE by showing their compassion to him, but unfortunately for them, it failed. Frisk, Toriel, and Asgore were forced to retreat since they eventually figured out they couldn't win against both Asriel and Bete.

In Animosity, Chara manages to take the HATE away from Asriel and lets it into his soul. Meanwhile, Bete is killed by Gaster, causing the HATE to consume her soul (which was also her body.) HATE manages to cast a hallucination on Papyrus and tries to attack him, only for Chara to intervene. Chara then tells HATE that he will show it his Animosity (controlled Hate).

In Hope, when Bête Noire's soul is consumed, a pink blob that still remained after Undyne's attack is turned into a hate blob. The hate blob, sensing Rave's Dual-Traited Soul, jumps at Rave in an attempt to infect his soul. However, Ronan jumps in the way and takes the attack, causing his soul to be infected instead. The hate blob then begins using Ronan as a puppet to cause damage to the people around him, even forcing him to break his arm to break free from restraints, as well as giving him delusions of his late wife Zoe to stay with her to further infect him. Ronan nearly hurts Hugo until Rave forcefully takes the HATE away from Ronan. Undyne finishes it off with a spear, but Rave is left heavily injured.

The true manifested form of HATE appears later within the episode, preparing to battle Chara and Asriel. As the brothers discuss the current circumstances, Chara diverts his attention from HATE, allowing it to unsuspectingly attack. However, just in time Chara is pulled away from HATE as an Inverted Perseverance claw slams into the ground, the creature subsequently being blasted back by Asriel.

As Asriel evacuates Papyrus and Gaster, HATE assaults Chara with an explosive Fear claw, puncturing the child's summoned shield, and detonating the magic while within it. However, just in time, Chara is able to erupt his magic blasting the claw away from HATE and into the air, subsequently exploding. Following this, HATE splits its bottom body to form legs, and activates Special Hell on Chara, who is narrowly able to summon a shield to endure the blow.

As the Determination human attempts to travel to an open area for battle, HATE follows in rapid pursuit, momentarily shattering its outside layer to reveal a roaring Determination beast. The creature then fires an Inverted Justice beam, which is successfully dodged. As Chara attempts to briefly rest, HATE utilizes Inverted Integrity to telekinetically slam the child into the ground, before blasting him out of the city using a magical platform. As HATE charges towards the canyon, where Chara had fallen, the Determination child prepares to retaliate, ducking underneath the creature's attack and slicing across its arm.

As HATE attempts to utilize an Inverted Patience string, Chara is successfully able to latch himself to it, being thrown into a perfect position to attack HATE with his knife, subsequently unleashing Special Hell within its body.

However, despite momentary relief, HATE quickly reappears from Chara's crater, presently bearing extreme Determination, as well as a red greatsword. As it reveals its soul, it thrusts its greatsword towards Chara who slams his blade against the attack, quickly counter attacking, slashing HATE's face. The creature, attempting to retaliate, crushes Chara's sword before slamming him across the canyon. However, Asriel arrives just in time, saving Chara, and preparing to battle HATE together.

As the two brothers land around HATE, the creature is successfully able to deflect their every attack, ultimately blasting Chara into the air before erupting him into the ground. Attempting to finish the child, HATE dashes down towards the ground with its blade. However, Asriel, at the last moment, manages to dash past the falling creature while grabbing Chara, saving him. However, HATE proceeds to concentrate magic within the canyon floor, forcing Asriel to blast into the air, to which HATE attacks, destroying the monster's saber and stabbing him in the chest.

However, as Asriel is about to dust, he is successfully able to unleash the true power of his soul, unlocking a weaker variant of his God of Hyperdeath form. With this, Asriel subsequently shatters HATE's sword, blasting the creature across the canyon. It immediately retaliates, leaping upwards, back into the air, and wrestling against the force of Asriel's fists. Ultimately, HATE loses the struggle, its right arm being pushed back before being severed by Chara. Asriel instantly counterattacks, ramming the creature back into the ground.

As the brothers reunite at the canyon floor, they work in a synchronized manner to surround and restrain the creature, ultimately partially dismembering it. The brothers then utilize a decoy attack, of which blasts HATE towards Asriel's ultimate attack, Hyper Goner. HATE, desperately attempting to escape the pull of the magic, is slammed into the weapon by the remainder of Chara's power.

Following this, as Chara and Asriel (having now transformed back to his original form) recover, HATE begins to disintegrate from enduring excessive damage. However, before dying, it attempts to finish off Asriel. Chara, realizing this, jumps in the way of his brother, acting as a body shield. HATE, witnessing this, suddenly resolves to halt its assault, momentarily manifesting a somber expression before completely disintegrating, its physical form once again being wiped from the world.

### Deleted Scene

In a deleted scene, HATE talks with Bête and how they finally found a physical form to reside with. Though the live-stream associated with it has been removed.

A few of the other deleted scenes are missing and because Camila Cuevas removed the stream from Twitch. It's no longer possible to find the deleted scenes.

**Disclaimer: This scene is not part of the Glitchtale storyboard, because it was removed by Camila.**

## Personality

When HATE begins to take control of their host, they begin to act more violent, psychotic, and brutal and progressively begin to lack self-control. They may even become horrifically sadistic and have no remorse or regret for their actions; they'd also start to seem to enjoy mutilating and torturing others perversely. An example of its cruelty was when HATE Chara ruthlessly tore off Omega Flowey's arm in Your Best Friend while showing no remorse or guilt at Flowey at all. Another example could be when Asriel, being corrupted with HATE, stabbed his own father Asgore, almost killing him, without any source of remorse.

However, it appears that specific situations, such as Chara defending Asriel in Hope, provoke reluctance and somber emotion within the beast. The reasoning for this is currently unknown, though this moment is reminiscent of the moment with Irral and his goat creation when defending the goat from a Perseverance attacker.

## Powers and Abilities

### Abilities

#### Blob Form:

These are the abilities of HATE when inside it's host.

* **Control Power:** HATE can control the body and emotions of its host. It may influence decisions that the host won't normally do and eventually take control of the whole body if the host gives in to it.
* **Power Enhancer:** The host would be more powerful thanks to this soul enhancer. This ability increases the host's original power by a tremendous amount, but it depends on the amount of hate on the user's soul. HATE is neither a soul nor a soul trait, and it works as an enhancer.
* **Regeneration:** If the host is either damaged, low on HP, or lost any of their limbs, the enhancer fixes those for them, repairing any severe damage dealt to its host like in the episode \*Determination. It even allows one to revive bodies made of magic, like Sans.
* **HATE Substance Utilization:** If the host lets the hate into their soul, they can use HATE in any way they want. For example, in \*Determination, Chara used HATE to grab Frisk and place them in the Determination Extractor. It can also make the host sprout Hate tentacles out of missing limbs, and those can be used as weapons rather than regeneration. The HATE can also be used to enhance attacks, as shown with Bête, who generates HATE onto her scythe and mixes it with her Fear magic to create stronger attacks.
* **Corruption of the Host**: If the host stays with too much HATE for too long, the host would eventually be corrupted by this power. The longer HATE stays with the host, the more progressively difficult it is to remove or control the HATE. On the other hand, very small amounts of hate can be easily handled. If the host allows it it to, HATE can fully consume the host and take their powers. The death of the host also counts as "permission", as the host can no longer refuse HATE. If HATE consumes the host, it turns into something like the being at the end of Animosity.
* **TRAIT Inversion**: The host's soul trait can be inverted when HATE is introduced into it if the host allows it to change them within, instead of just covering the soul, that, though, is dangerous and irreversible, an example of this is a Fear soul trait.
* **Consumption:** If HATE exists within one's soul, it can eventually grow to consume them entirely. When this happens, it becomes a being like that showed at the end of Animosity. From this stage onwards, HATE continuously grows in power, during which, its outer shell shatters, revealing a roaring beast of Determination from underneath, as its penultimate state.

#### Post-Consumption:

This form of HATE takes a more physical appearance of itself; throughout it's multiple hosts, HATE can now use the abilities of all as such.

* **Inverted Abilities:** The physical form of HATE is capable of retaining the abilities of its previous Inverted Hosts:
	+ **Inverted Bravery**: Can generate explosions through and in its body.
	+ **Inverted Justice**: Can fire a powerful dark yellow laser that’s capable of slicing through large buildings.
	+ **Inverted Kindness**: While it was never shown, HATE can use inverted kindness magic, as it can use all inverted traits.
	+ **Inverted Patience**: Can turn their arm into a nub and a dark cyan tentacle appears from the nub, which can crack physical surfaces.
	+ **Inverted Integrity**: Can use dark blue magic to manipulate gravity through souls and can summon dark blue platforms that can connect to the other from a distance away (as HATE summoned a platform close to itself and one to Chara when Chara was getting distance away from HATE) and can seemingly burst into energy and send an opponent flying away.
	+ **Inverted Perseverance**: Can do a powerful slash with dark purple claws.

* **Determination**: Can use manifest red energy onto the ground and cause an explosion with it.

* **Bête Noire Abilities**: Due to Bête Noire being one of its previous hosts, HATE can change its arm into the same arm-mounted blade Bête could use, along with being able to use her illusions, as shown with Papyrus.
* **Limb Modification**: In Hope, HATE was able to extend its arm and enlarge its hand to attempt to crush Chara. Afterwards it, showed that it is capable of modifying its body to have a more humanoid shape with legs.
* **Regeneration**: HATE was shown to be able to regenerate damaged parts of its body many times throughout its second phase, such as when Chara cut off its arm.

#### Determination:

Ultimately, as HATE's existence as a full being is prolonged, it will gradually evolve to its most powerful state, as a being of Determination.

* **Greatsword of Determination**: HATE is capable of summoning an enormous greatsword, and utilizing such with incredible force.
* Like previously, HATE can induce red energy into physical surfaces and cause an explosion, though it uses its sword instead of its arm.

### Powers

* **Expert Combatant**: HATE is very skilled at fighting, whether through its hosts (shown with the mentioned hosts) or on its own.
* **Speed & Strength**: HATE seems to be very quick, as shown in Hope, as it has the same enhanced speed as most characters. It is also very strong, considering how whoever has HATE is also stronger than before.

## Trivia

* Facts by Camila Cuevas:
	+ When you feel true hate towards someone/something from within your soul, and you’re truly convinced it’s the only answer to whatever is troubling you, and if the feeling is strong enough. HATE might appear.
	+ A human can't be born with a black soul as Hate is not a soul trait.
	+ Only love can extract HATE from a soul.
	+ HATE can be generated, but it can't be destroyed. In extreme cases, it can be changed/transformed.
	+ When Frisk caused an unexpected RESET in "Megalomaniac", the hate generated looked for another host. Since Frisk wasn't there, the only other HUMAN available in the world was Chara.
	+ In Glitchtale, Chara was never evil, but since Megalomaniac their eyes slowly started to get surrounded by a black aura, representing how they were slowly getting blinded by HATE.
	+ HATE can grow within a human soul until it takes over the entire body. This numbs the host's emotions and influences their decisions.
	+ HATE greatly increases the user's soul power.
	+ The more HATE the human uses as an enhancer for their abilities, the harder it will regain control of their body.
* Animosity is "tamed" hate as Chara is able to put his will over HATE's goals.
* When HATE fully consumes its host, it takes the magic they were using and adopts it as it's own abilities.
* HATE is created when a whole species hates one person, like how the monsters hated Frisk when they were doing a genocide run.
	+ During season 2, **two** whole species - the humans and the monsters - hated Bête Noire. While Bete is shown to still possess HATE in "Animosity" despite having transferred all of Frisk's HATE to Asriel, it's not confirmed that she actually generated her own HATE.
* In "Yet Darker", Gaster used black goop that resembled HATE against Frisk and Sans. Other than attacking, his goop was seen blocking Frisk's RESET button, similar to how Chara was able to. Whether Gaster was actually using HATE, and what this substance was if not HATE, is unknown.
* According to one of Camila's Twitch broadcasts hosted on July 26, 2017, the HATE Chara absorbed was not in full effect during part of Season 1; therefore, they felt guilty for their actions. This also caused them to kill the amalgamates, instead of other monsters because it would be less disappointing.
	+ If they went after Undyne, who would give them unlimited Determination, it would cause more sorrow to the underground, which Chara wanted to avoid.
	+ Camila also said that they only tried to kill Frisk because they deserved it, and spared them in \*Determination because the file has to be with a valid name before resetting so it can be a successful reset. So, they took control of it first and then tried to Reset.
* HATE can grow within a human soul until it takes over the entire body. This numbs the host's emotions and influences their decisions greatly.
* HATE greatly increases the user's soul power, even up to 10 times their original power.
	+ However, the more HATE a human uses as an enhancer for their abilities, the harder it will become to regain control of their body.
* For HATE to take full control of their current host, the host must first permit it.
	+ Since Chara didn't permit it; they were driven by force instead.[*citation needed*]
* When HATE and Determination both come together, an ability named "**FILE 0**" becomes available. At the same time, HATE increases the user's Determination power. This event only happened for Chara, though for an unknown reason, Chara's "**FILE 0**" ability only works when HATE is powering their Determination.
	+ This ability no longer works in S2, as they cannot interact with the timeline anymore ever since Frisk erased himself from existence.
* If a monster gets HATE, it controls them faster than humans, and their sclera becomes black.
* There is a canon conversation, never before in the series. Jessica Grey and Bete are seen talking about HATE in said scene.
* A person who is corrupted by HATE can still die; however, it would take enormous amounts of power and effort. Such as killing the affected person in just one blow, or just damage the host so much that the HATE is not fast enough to heal its host.
* HATE's intentions are bad enough to scare Bete.
	+ HATE’s true purpose and goal is total annihilation.
		- This meant that Bete will try to be careful with HATE throughout the rest of Glitchtale because if she uses too much HATE, it will gain control over her again.
		- When HATE found Bete as its new host, HATE began to control Bete, but HATE couldn't control Kumu for unknown reasons, which it should be able to since Bete and Kumu own the same soul.
* Camila confirms that the HATE used in Season 1 is the same for Season 2.[*citation needed*]
* By the time of the episode Love Pt 2, when the barrier broke, and HATE was captured by the AMD, it had been 37 days since the barrier was broken. The exact time it happened on the said day was at 10:41 AM.
* HATE has one weakness. It's love (the emotion), being its antithesis. Asriel and Frisk were able to use it to purge it from Chara on "Continue", and Papyrus used it to free Sans from Bete's control on "Love Part 2". This causes Frisk to realize that only love can defeat HATE.
	+ Love is an enhancer too.
* As strong as HATE is, it can't replicate a physical body.
* There's only one way for destroying HATE permanently, the host has to die with it.
	+ Chara didn't die with HATE on Season 1 because HATE was extracted from them, this is why HATE survived from the battle. Chara, on the other hand, died because they lacked Determination.
* HATE can replicate a monster's body, but they cannot replicate an entire body of a human because the body of a monster is made of magical properties. In contrast, a human's body is made of physical matter.
* Frisk's soul, (now Chara's) has a drip of HATE, which can be seen in Love Part 2.
* Bete's soul is not extracted from HATE.[*citation needed*]
* In HATE's third phase, it has a Determination soul. As a result, HATE can no longer use abilities from previous hosts anymore, but instead can only use its own abilities and skills it has as a Determination user, such as the greatsword.
* While HATE's physical body has been wiped from the world, HATE is still not dead, but rather "temporarily vanquished," as it can be regenerated by someone else.
