I liked how God Eater Burst had a certain leitmotif that was used in a whole lot of songs, it's always great when you recognise that one part when you're fighting a new boss with a new theme.

What's there to explain? That fight was essentially a preview of Young Xehanort in DDD, even though you have absolutely no way of knowing what his deal is at the time. Even after playing it, why he shows up in BBS is anyone's guess. I'm not sure how canon secret boss fights are aside from Xemnas in KHFM.

Undertale and BBS are both good games. You might not like them, but they are certainly well made games.
