* InconsistentEpisodeLengths: The first episode of the series is barely five minutes long, and they kept growing in length until the season 1 finale, which is 16 minutes. Season 2 episodes move in a range of 20 to 40 minutes.



* ItsAllJunk: [[spoiler:Chara ''tries'' to claim this about [[FriendshipTrinket the locket]] they're wearing, tearing it off and destroying it right in front of Asriel after the latter claims that they wouldn't have kept it so long if they no longer cared about him. [[SubvertedTrope The fact that they start crying seconds after it's destroyed tells a different story.]]]]

** [[spoiler:The InternalReveal that Asgore killed six human children to break the Barrier puts a serious damper in any attempts to secure peace between humans and monsters. ''Especially'' when one of them was the [[FantasticRacism AMD]] leader's daughter.]]
** [[spoiler:Did Gaster really expect to bring Sans back so easily in Game Over, Part 1, after what happened last time he used determination on a fallen down monster?]]
** [[spoiler:Asriel attempts to fight Betty a second time, despite it being established in their first confrontation that Asriel can't break through [[StoneWall Akumu]]. [[CurbStompBattle It ends exactly like you'd expect.]]]]



** Uninhibited teleportation would solve a lot of problems as it would allow the main cast to go places quickly and prevent situations where some of the main cast must fight alone to buy time. Sans and Gaster both have this ability. The former, who is a StoryBreakerPower in himself, [[spoiler:is killed in the second episode of the season through trickery]] and the latter is left too damaged to use this ability after his fight with the BigBad. [[spoiler:When Sans ''does'' come back, him just teleporting ''once'' to get upstairs uses up most of the magic [[LivingOnBorrowedTime he has left]], leaving him not wanting to try again to get to the city.]] This forces the main cast to either use teleportation devices that are either [[ItOnlyWorksOnce one use]] or can only teleport a certain amount of people, or travel by walking, driving, or through other unorthadox methods.

* ManOfKryptonite: A mutual one. While Fear is the only soul trait that can match and beat Determination, so too is Determination the best weapon against Fear. [[spoiler:Frisk and Chara's Determination Souls, Undyne in her Undying form, and Gaster's Determination simulating hand blasters are the only thing in all of Season 2 that even can slow Betty down in any meaningful way, much less beat her.]]

** [[spoiler:Betty's entire purpose is to prevent Humans and Monsterkind from reaching peace at any cost.

** Being possessed by HATE seems to give you the power to speak these.

Incorrect information in the Retcon section.


* {{Retcon}}:
** In the original Undertale, players only gained LV after gaining enough EXP, which was only gained after ''killing'' a monster (meaning that players could beat up a monster and not get any EXP as long as they spared it in the end.) Here, a big deal is made of Frisk [[spoiler:gaining LV--not just EXP, LV--from hurting people in nonphysical, and more important nonmurderous, ways.]] It's [[HandWave handwavable]] by this being a glitched timeline, but still a clear contradiction of the canon.
** [[spoiler:An in-universe retcon occurs when Frisk switches places with Chara, causing them to be replaced with Chara and treated as if they didn't even exist by the timeline. This went so far as for Camila to edit her art to not include Frisk in it.]]
