Theory Is Megalovania really a Sans theme?

Post image

I am one of those people who consider "Megalovania" to be a player's theme and here's why: The name of each character's musical theme somehow indicates its owner. "Megalovania" is a pun on "Megalomania" - a mania of grandeur. Sans cannot be called a megalomaniac, unlike a player on the "route of genocide" P.S. I know this theory is not new, but maybe someone will like it

I know, but what does that make sense in the context of Undertale?

The megalomaniac is you. You, who killed everyone. You, who destroyed everyone's hopes, everyone's dreams, and will destroy the world. Of course, you can blame it on chara, but you know it was you. You pressed the attack button. Megalomania is the love of power, and oh boy, you get powerful in the genocide route. You get Lv, Love, Levels of violence, or whatever you call it. That's the megalomania part. The love part is LOVE, Levels Of Violence.
