Summary[]
Determination is a power naturally possessed by humans, which in itself is a power that allows humans to persist after death. Despite being more human centered ability, there is evidence that it exists in monsters, such as with Undyne. According to Alphys research, Determination is a expression of one's will to live and when put into lifeforms, such as monsters, who can't normally house it, it will begin to deform their biological matter. Asgore wants seven SOULs, as it's said that through them, that will provide enough power to cross the barrier that seperates human and monsters.
Possible Uses[]
- Time Manipulation: The ability to SAVE & LOAD allows users to create SAVE POINTS and LOAD back to different parts of the timeline
- Resurrection: Determination works by resurrecting the user, allowing them to bring themselves back to life should they fall to an enemy
- Power Nullification: Strong users of Determination can overwrite any other user of Determination, given if they are weaker
- Time Travel: Determination can be used to travel back in time to a new timeline, which is referenced by Sans and his allusion to "other sans-es"
- Time Paradox Immunity: Determination users aren't effected by RESETs in the timeline, being able to remember past events that were rewritten from the timeline, which is further reaffirmed by Undyne
- Causality Manipulation & History Manipulation: Determination can rewrite all progress made in a timeline, resetting the timeline and it's inhabitants to how were at that point of time. This can even null other users of DT, whom of which are already immune to paradoxes
- Statistics Amplification: Determination can increase the power of users, such as with Undyne becoming Undyne The Undying and Frisk being able to contend with both Asgore, Omega Flowey and Asriel
Advanced Determination[]
- Existence Erasure: Flowey is capable of erasing SAVE FILEs and inserting his own progress into it, rewriting it to his desire
- Creation: Can create SAVE FILES within battle and switch between the to throw off opponents and change the battle's outcome
- Reality Warping: Can overwrite the intro to Undertale and it's world, renaming it to "FLOWEYTALE"
- Memory Manipulation: Can remove the memories of all monsters in the underground and even other users of Determination
- Regeneration (Mid-Godly): Can regeneration from the destruction of the body and SOUL
Weakness[]
- Those who possess stronger Determination have the potential to nullify another weaker Determination user
- Should a Determination user give up, this can result in a result in a Reset much earlier than the last SAVE
