I know this is a rather old post, but I was just playing through Souless Pacifist (I wanted a nice file, ok? I just happened to also do Genocide) and I agree with the OP.

Why do we need Asgore's SOUL? Throughout the game it's been made clear that a monster soul is many times weaker than a human soul, and in Pacifist, we see that the entire monster population was needed to equate 1 human SOUL (Well, I don't think EVERYONE was needed, but you get the point)

So... Why do we need Asgore's SOUL? Based on Alphys' truth bomb before New Home, there's no difference in how strong a human SOUL is, and I doubt the magicians who set up the Barrier wouldn't want humans coming back out. So why? Monster hate? It's just all confusing
