Now, because soul power is determination, all of the humans should have had more or less the same amount of DT, since they're being used as a SP metric. More than that, all of them had the same SLR ability that Frisk did.

All in all, Frisk isn't anywhere near that special. And Asgore? Well, yeah, we defeated him, while the other kids didn't. But that doesn't disprove the above, no, that's already been proven. So rather, the solution to this contradiction is saying that Asgore was simply holding back way too much when he fought us, whereas with the other children, he was going full out.

So tell me, if Frisk is in no way all that special in terms of DT, why should their soul trait be DT? I'd rather say that red implies they have no specialization. Because then, it truly could be anything.

Think about it, what is Frisk good at? We all play the game differently, it's hard to say. It's neither patience, nor bravery, nor any of those. And yet, we can display or be affected by all of them in the game. It seems like Frisk's capabilities and preferences are mixed / undecided by nature. If they decide that their puropse is DT, then red is DT. If they decide that their friendship with the monsters is the most important thing, then red is friendship.

And all of this because red has no canon name. It can be anything you want it to be, it's a scrap category for souls that don't fit the other classes.
