Themes and motifs

6491. Q6491/Q64,91 Roaring Knight sphere -> The Knight reverts into a little rotating sphere when defeated. is that just a cool move, or is that actually the thing that created it in some sense, like the Pippins showing up as dice in the monochrome pictures?
6491. Q6491/Q64,91 Roaring Knight sphere -> this may be a baseball.
6688. Q6688/Q66,88 Black Knife / Black Blade
6381. Q6381/Q63,81 drawing sword out of hand (Deltarune)
6687. Q6687/Q66,87 Dark Shard -> an item dropped by the Roaring Knight that exists in the Dark World and is not the same entity as the Shadow Crystal, at least at the level of the TV and Tenna not being the same entity.
6694. Q6694/Q66,94 "your heartbeat becomes twisted" -> quote that appears in Roaring Knight battle.

Surrounding motifs

6689. Q6689/Q66,89 Shadow Mantle

Hand sword

6381. Q6381/Q63,81 drawing sword out of hand (Deltarune) -> in the Roaring Knight's first animation it absolutely wails, then appears a sword from its hand. that is not a normal place for a sword to be stored. we know it is not normal because of how in Chapter 4 the Red Soul can make Kris "equip" Noelle's hand with a thorn although she had a vision where Kris is explicitly taking it out. it even looked like the Soul is crudely stabbing it straight through Noelle's palm, not where the ring goes. so what the hell happened to December to obtain that sword? did she get stabbed through the hand with a Shadow Crystal and become unable to find her hand?
6380. Q6380/Q63,80 cutting off arm for weapon (Adventure Time) / cutting off arm for powers (Fionna and Cake) -> comes up twice in Adventure Time. may appear in Deltarune although that's not clear.
      in Adventure Time, Fern is the first to be connected with this motif. Finn accepts the grass sword, and unknowingly "cuts off" his arm. then Fern comes back and is basically made of pain. it's like the grass sword was always some kind of metaphor for suffering being stuck to you over a long period of time
      in Fionna and Cake, Huntress Wizard becomes the focus and we learn she more literally cut off her hand to get powers. but at the same time, she refused to make connections to the order of "druids" or forest wizards, and couldn't commit herself to building a relationship with Finn.
      in Deltarune... maybe this is just me, but I keep looking at the Knight's sword and I think of Huntress Wizard and Fern. it just feels like this weapon gained from an unreasonable sacrifice
6397. Q6397/Q63,97 ThornRing
6366. Q6366/Q63,66 Gaster hand holes
6421. Q6421/Q64,21 only eyes blinded by darkness can see -> statement said next to a Chapter 1 puzzle. this seems to vaguely associate "darkness", as seen in the Dark Worlds, with "seeing the truth", and hint that in some sense you can turn that on or off.
6422. Q6422/Q64,22 it's better you don't wake up (Deltarune chapter 2) -> very interesting thing Queen says. when she says Noelle shouldn't have woken up.... what exactly has she woken up to? could it, maybe, be something related to the Roaring Knight and the suspicious Gaster hand holes or the Knight sword?
      don't forget that Kris turns the literal cactus needle into a sword item. there's already a link between thorns and swords. [1]

Theories

6630. Q6630/Q66,30 The Knight is Kris / Kris was The Knight in Chapter 2 / Kris is The Knight
6631. Q6631/Q66,31 The Knight is multiple people / Multiple characters are The Knight
6634. Q6634/Q66,34 The Knight contains Dess / December Holiday is The Knight -> one line of reasoning is Mother 3 [2]
