Specifically, his drawing of Undertale\u2019s Sans and Mob Psycho 100\u2019s Reigen Arataka has now been dethroned as his most-liked post on X (formerly Twitter).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Are you guys really gonna let the Snake Year post be my most liked post over Reigen x Sans <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4t7J4vsMx2\">https:\/\/t.co\/4t7J4vsMx2<\/a><\/p>&mdash; tobyfox (@tobyfox) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tobyfox\/status\/1874963934299746385?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 2, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As a fan of memes and culture, Toby Fox occasionally makes content that references incidents the occurred on other Internet platforms. Last year, Fox posted a full-bodied Sans standing beside Reigen making the peace sign as they greet the reader with \u201cHappy Valentine\u2019s Day.\u201d This post referenced the <a href=\"https:\/\/knowyourmeme.com\/memes\/events\/sans-undertale-vs-arataka-reigen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">infamous Tumblr Sexyman battle<\/a> between Sans and Reigen from 2022, with Sans ultimately gaining the title by 0.1% of the votes. This led to a whole host of fanart either shipping the two characters or portraying them as rivals (affectionately known as SansGen). There was even a joke that the intensity of the poll caused the death of Queen Elizabeth II.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42306\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While Undertale is a video game that follows the story of a child who finds themselves in the Underground realm filled with strange monsters, Mob Psycho 100 is a manga turned anime and television drama that centers on the young Shigeo Kageyama (Mob) as he struggles with school life and controlling his psychic powers. To help keep Mob in check, con-man Reigen takes the boy under his wing under the guise of being a spirit medium. Created by the Japanese manga artist known only as One (best known as the creator of One Punch Man), Mob Psycho 100 tells a surprisingly heartfelt tale amidst its humor and supernatural elements.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XMADiGzcmf\">pic.twitter.com\/XMADiGzcmf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; tobyfox (@tobyfox) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tobyfox\/status\/1874333325449724383?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 1, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Snake Year post currently has 294,000 likes on X, which is slightly more than the Reigen post\u2019s 263,000 likes.
