When you fight Sans, however, there's still the possibility that you can reset. Chara is two rooms away from destroying the timeline altogether. A Genocide playthrough is a potential final timeline - there's no guarantee that a reset will happen. This version of him will never see his brother again, but another Sans will. As such, he can't get up the strength to fight you. He knows that this is only temporary - the Neutral run isn't the final run of the game, so you'll reset. Sans will be angry and depressed if you kill Papyrus on a Neutral run, but he'll never fight you in revenge even though he could probably stomp a low-LV player hard. Someone who spends his entire boss battle trying to get you to reset. Asgore couldn't go back any further by resetting.Īs it turns out, we know someone who has a vested interest in preventing that from happening. So if Asgore absorbed the SOULs, that point would become a fixed point on the timeline.

Even Gods of Hyperdeath aren't omnipotent. But we never see him actually do it, so he could have just been mistaken about the limits of his power. resetting to Frisk's fall), and I'd agree that that's a fair point. You might point out that during his boss battle, Asriel taunts Frisk/Chara with the possibility of resetting their progress back to zero (i.e. Omega Flowey only resets to points in his boss battle. Frisk can only reset to their fall in the Underground. Before Frisk fell, Flowey could only reset to his awakening in the garden, not to his time as Asriel. In all runs of the game, however, we never see someone resetting to a point before they became the most Determined SOUL. If Asgore absorbed the six human SOULs, and they didn't rebel - which I think they wouldn't, since there's no evidence for them being heartless murderers like Chara, except for possibly the Integrity SOUL - then he would be able to reset as well. At varying points, this title goes to Frisk, Chara, and Flowey/Asriel. The most Determined SOUL in the Underground has the power to reset. Then I realized something about the nature of SOULs and resets. And the message being blocked didn't seem particularly likely either the cell reception may be shoddy in New Home (as possibly evidenced by Papyrus and Undyne not answering there) but she could have sent a messenger or something. Why would Alphys's message not get through to Asgore? Surely she couldn't have forgotten it was the dying wish of the woman she loved that the remaining citizens be protected.

Yet the subject of Asgore absorbing the SOULs is never brought up again, and Chara kills him in a single hit. evacuate everyone.īy now she's called ASGORE and told him to absorb the 6 human SOULs. Remember Undyne's last bit of dialog as you kill her during the Genocide Route?Īlphys told me that she would watch me fight you.Īnd if anything went wrong, she would.
