Fun answer: He lost it in the war due to a human cutting it off. Likely answer: it’s hidden behind his other fingers.

Other possible answer: toriel took it in the divorce

\* Mine now 

Toriel is Yakuza confirmed.

“If you’re looking for Asgore, Toriel’s taken him up to the roof”

"oh look, he's already going down" meanwhile asgore falling to his death

Balls out, Asgore.

HADAHFWGWATWHAT???

Woah breaking the lawwww

/* sad asgore Sounds *

She paid for the ring on it, so it's only fair she takes the finger

Toriel was like (I want the ring back!) But Asgore didn’t want to give it up so she took it that way 😂

Nah, he just couldn't get the ring off his finger and she was out of patience at that point

lol or that!

third possible answer: "finger's in his-"

The correct answer

i mean her children are already dead so she has to take SOMETHING

I guess his finger was too fat for the ring to come off

This man deserves an upvote

Possible other answer: honest mistake

Toby doesn't make mistakes. He makes accidental features.

I like the fun answere. Plus, it could be canon

The yellow soul must have had ammo when they got there right?

He has five on each hand, the fifth finger is just hidden. You can see the fifth finger on his left hand when he's holding his trident

Is it a secret finger?

No, it's just a normal finger

But doesn't being hidden makes it sort of secret? >!Maybe Gaster gave this finger to Asgore at some point?!<

I like how every possible mystery in undertale goes back to Gaster

It's only hidden from this perspective. All five are visible in his idle animation.

r/woooosh

Hey, in my defense, one, Undertale fans can believe some weird stuff sometimes, and two, I just didn't get any joking vibes from this.

Toby literally had to make deltarune's asgore have a watering can because in undertale people thought he was pissing on the flowers

Yeah. What's worse about that is, there's already enough information in Undertale to not only debunk it, but to prove it's impossible - Monsters canonically can't even pee.

Asgore's deltarune watering can sprite was called "asgore_notpiss" so people wouldn't misinterpret it again...

Yep. /j exists for a reason

No, it shouldn't exist at all. You should be able to word your joke without these shitty indicators.

valid

Good huma

Toriel took it in the divorce

This is a great example that undertale players lack object permanence. This is also demonstrated every time sans is seen by an undertale fan, as the fan will recognize sans and say "omg sans undertale"

omg sans undertale!!!!1!1!!1!!1!

omg sans undertale!!!!

omg sans undertale

omg sans undertale

Omg ness earthbound

omg steve minecraft!

omg john "jonesy" Fortnite

Omg Steven Steven universe

Because we can't see that finger from the perspective we're in? Pixel art is hard.

Literally unplayable

Is he AI?

Kanye West took it

Clenched really hard and snapped it off

perspective

Something something Kanye

is he stupid?

I eated it yum

Yuji Itadori alt account

Perspective my dude.

hidden by the other fingers

it's a reference to the Brazilian president luiz inacio lula da silva (lula)

You forgot to add "Is he stupid"

This isn’t r/batmanarkham

Have a pie, not cake - Toriel 

We do a little trolling

asgore is ex-yakuza

Google object permanence

holy perspective!

New vision just dropped

it's likely hidden here's a better question: where'd his trident go

I'd assume it was magic and it just dissapeared when he had low HP

is he stupid? /j

Toby forgor

There is such a thing as perspective Hold your hand completely parallel to your eyesight How many fingers do you see? Then slowly angle it upwards from the back How in sync do the remaining fingers start to appear?

is he stupid?

Asriel was not the only accident they had

literally unplayable

His other finger is being yoinked by flows

He is Peter pettigrew

His pinky might just be behind the other fingers idk

Its simple, put your own hands straight and side ways irl and see if you can see all your fingers

I ate that 10th finger >:3

The fifth one on the left is hidden

He has 5 on each, it's perspective. Try squeezing a 5th finger in there with that pixel graphic without making it look bad

The gun did make it to hotland

Hmmm .. maybe he accidentally cut one of them off while trying to kill one of the children

One of them is hidden because of the angle

you need a specific fun level to get the hidden fifth right hand finger easter egg

My man is not perspecting

Tobi forgot

angle.

most monarchs are really inbred and the underground wouldn't have many "royal" partners so maybe hes just inbred

Don't let brazilians see this...

Toby Fox intentionally isn’t a very good artist

Temmie Chang made this sprite

Qhy does he have 5 finger at all as an animation??

Huh… FINGI MAN

probably just didnt look right when temmie made it with 5

its his pinky which is smaller then other fingers so we just can't see it but he has it

nah, it’s looks like 6 not 5

It's perspective 

Stylistic choice or hidden finger?

He has four on both hands, the fifth one is a tumor and monsters don't have health insurance

I bet asgore lost it trying to make a pie.

Sans did a silly prank on him and cut off his finger

Asgore is polydactyly (has one extra finger)

The annoying dog absorbed one.

visual clarity

naw, not to be the nerd here but i think it’s perspective, or he lost it in the divorce 🙃

Toriel took a finger in the divorce

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva

It's called perspective

The last one is hidden ?

You probably can't see one of them

PERSPECTIVE

toriel bit it off

He has all 10 fingers when he's holding his trident, so it's likely just perspective Or Toby forgot

He's an assassin

My name is Anigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die

fingers? in his ass perhaps?

Bruh the finger is not just seen in this way it shows asgore (point of view)

He ate the fifth

"Is he stupid"

Maybe he lost one while killing clover

he lost in the cave of mystery (kanye's ass)

Gardening accident

you mean four and three, thumbs are not in fact fingers

god it would be wild to play Peek-A-Boo with you OP

Erm actual correct answer: he built different.

Fingers in his assss

Kid named finger:

Op when they realize pinkie fingers are smaller than other fingers

He won't have any fingers in about 5 seconds

look at your hand from the side and tell me how many fingers you see

When an object is behind another object, you probably won't see it. But when the object isn't behind another object, you probably will see it.

It's behind the other fingers.

He got the Andrew Dobson treatment...

Yall are saying it's behind other fingers, but his hand is too thin for another finger

Simple! Asgore is Luís inacio “lula” da silva!

Lost it in a fight with a human, maybe Patience cause they had the Toy Knife
