Ralsei Is A Titan
The titans are a highly speculative species in the lore of Deltarune. We have little to no info on them at the moment other than that they happen during a roaring. However if you are to do some digging you’ll learn something VERY VERY interesting about the middle titan.
How Do The Titans Work?
Before we go any further we need to examine how the titans work. According to Ralsei once the roaring begins the titans will take form from the fountains.
They will then wreak havoc across the world.
From then one the Darkners will all turn to stone and the Lightners will be lost in eternal darkness.
How Does Ralsei Work?
Now that we’ve seen the way the titans work we need to see the way Ralsei works. Ralsei is a special creature, neither lightner nor darkner. He has a colored portrait like a darkner,
Yet he has strange qualities unlike other darkners. For example he can survive in other dark worlds when other darkners would turn to stone.
He also disintegrates upon death unlike anything else we’ve seen so far.
Last but not least he knows about layouts and places in the light world.
Now this all is explained through something. Something that makes this theory so much more interesting. Ralsei gets these powers from the central dark fountain in the castle town.
Not only is this stated by Ralsei but according to Ralsei’s manual he’s literally MADE of the dark fountain.
Remind me, how exactly do the titans work??
Oh yeah, they form fro the fountains, just like Ralsei. Ralsei also bears visual similarities to the middle titan. They both have horns and fur and the eyes from Ralsei’s dark world are present on the middle titans body.
So this all raises suspicion on Ralsei, but there’s even more strange things that we see involving Ralsei and his connection to the titans.
Foreshadowing
Something that is seriously overlooked in the Deltarune theorizing community is all the strange foreshadowing behind Ralsei. First of all let’s take a look at this secret.
This shows up when we backtrack after doing the boat ride with Ralsei, the broken camera is conveniently placed between two things that look very similar to the twin titans. This is actually reminiscent of an unused feature planned for Undertale. Toby was originally planning on foreshadowing the Flowey X fight through out the entire game. This is seen through Gyftrot and an unused sprite for waterfall.
In fact, Ralsei has tons of similarities to Flowey. Both are associated with flowers.
Both teach us about our soul.
Both are the first of their species that we meet.
Both are interrupted using fire.
Both are the princes of their respective kingdoms.
Both teach us about saving.
Both befriend the human.
Both end the manuals of their respective games in the same fashion
And both know more than they’re letting on. However on the topic of foreshadowing Ralsei becoming a warped boss creature like Flowey, there’s even more to discuss. Notice how Ralsei recruits every darkner we meet from their own dark worlds?
This entire process is eerily similar to what Flowey did in order to absorb everyones souls.
Not to mention that Asriel absorbs everyones souls by covering them in light, and the roaring covers everyone in darkness.
The real question though is if Ralsei is a titan, why did he warn us about the roaring? There’s one of two possibilities. He either wanted to wait until later on to unleash the roaring, or the second option, which is what i believe to be the true motivation, which is...
Ralsei Has Experienced A Roaring
Now hear me out, this may seem crazy at first but there’s actually a lot of evidence to back it up. First of all look at the first area of Ralsei’s dark world.
It’s a barren wasteland full of eyes, dust, and what almost seems to be blood. This matches up with what the titans look like and what the roaring itself looks like.
What’s even more interesting about this though is that the light world before this area lines up with the description of the roaring that the lightners will face.
The supply closet is a completely dark area with almost nothing inside, it behaves differently than the other dark fountains as well, and of course, it fits the description of a lightner roaring.
So with all this in mind we can conclude that Ralsei has experienced a roaring, that’s why Ralsei becomes so emotional when its brought up, and why he knows about how it works in the first place. But how come he’s emotional if he’s a titan, meaning it’s his fault that everything was destroyed? Well I believe that he can’t control becoming a titan. It’s almost like a werewolf, when the three fountains are open Ralsei uncontrollably becomes a terrifying monster that destroys everything in its path. This also explains why Ralsei has no subjects, he killed them all.
Ralsei hiding his face also makes a lot more sense now, why would he want to potentially reveal himself to someone who may notice that he’s the one who destroyed the dark world? This also explains why he’s so bad at making friends, he’d definitely feel like a failure and a terrible friend after what he did. Something even more interesting about this though is that it further aligns with the Flowey parallels. When Flowey becomes Asriel again he feels horrible for what he’s done, he wants to make it up to everyone, to fix what he started. Ralsei is doing the same thing, he wants to seal all the fountains so he can never hurt his friends again, he wants to disappear forever to ensure everyone else's safety. Guess who else wanted to do that?
What’s interesting about Flowey too is that his arc in Undertale never truly ended. He got over his idolization but he just went on to do the same thing again but with Frisk instead of Chara.
So what does this mean? It means that Ralseis arc will be a continuation of Asriels from Undertale.
I mean, hey, Toby DID say there would be some connections between the two universes.
TL;DR
In conclusion Ralsei is a titan because of his physical resemblance, foreshadowing of being a titan, similarities to Floweys backstory, and the fact that he’s experienced a roaring before.

Fox: Yeah, I'm talking to you! How the kriff are you going to land on my planet and act like you're something special? Do you know where you are!? Look around you, boys! You're on Coruscant! You're irrelevant here. Coruscant has her Guard.
Rex: I swear I can see steam coming out of that Jedi's ears.
Fox: Tell your clonewalker to let you off your leashes. Unless you're all bark and no bite. Come on, boys, let me show you what a real bite is like.
Cody: Wait until they realize he's not being metaphorical.
Rex: Here comes the Je--Oof...That's going to hurt in the morning. I like this side of Fox.
Cody: Less talking, more fighting!
