"So, would you rather blindly stick to the absolute meaning of the trait, or rather try to connect it with its respective mode?"

The Modes are the fighting styles of the traits, not the traits the fighting styles, the color of the mode represents what trait they belong to. That's it, that's their connection.

"Which reminds me of another piece of evidence supporting the canoncity of the HUD. Try threatening Gerson in the Genocide Route (or just look up the dialouge on the wiki. I mean, we already have seen all the evidence before, that's not spoiling anything.) He specifically makes note that he knows you CAN'T attack him here. He KNOWS that you can't attack shopkeepers. How is that not the HUD?"

I'll be honest, I completely forgot about that. Thanks, THA.

But seriously, there are now, what, six or seven characters that prove the existence of the HUD as a real thing that's a part of the world of Undertale? Flowey, Toriel, Papyrus, Undyne, Gearson, Asgore, and Sans.
