I hope you don't mind me responding with agreement and some riffing. I figure it's good to keep spoilers contained. I agree with much of this.

"One last adventure" is news to me, having had not kept up with the fandom. I appreciate that the fandom jokes in the game were entirely legible to me ("pacifist root" hahahhaha).

I think of Deltarune as a vehicle for Fox's silly and fun ideas that didn't fit in Undertale, and I am admittedly not so invested in the lore. So I really appreciate when huge lore moments are also silly, even when entirely serious in universe ("Flowery. Green. Yellow. Orange. Blue. Aqua. Seth.") The six SOULs really captivated a lot of my mind a decade ago and it really is satisfying to finally get to see them in any context.

That said, this looks like the first time the "Side B" route has been referenced in canon. That is Very Homestuck and I am eager to see what the fuck happens here. Maybe that supplants "Genocide Route" here.

Anyways, I really appreciated the big blinking screaming "Ralsei is transgender" sign.

Specifically the Deltarune newsletter announcing the release date said

In Chapter 4, we saw dark clouds on the horizon…

That’s why, let’s not look there for now. Let’s turn around and watch the sun, before it goes down completely.

Let’s smile again.

Let’s have one more fun adventure, okay?

So the nostalgia theming and all the callbacks to both Deltarune chapter one and Undertale are very much intentional and this is signalling that everything from here on out is probably going to be a bad time.
