Oh, Ferret.. Didn't you read the lab entry?

I've done it. Using the blueprints, I've extracted it from the human SOULs. I believe this is what gives their SOULs the strength to persist after death. The will to keep living... The resolve to change fate. Let's call this power... "Determination." -Entry 5

No determination=No will to keep living. No will to keep living=You are dead.

When Flowey was injected with determination, that's what brought him back to life. And when he tried to kill himself, he got this primal feeling.. That he didn't want to die! What was this feeling?

And that argument you just made counters your other argument that Gaster’s DE Experiments must have occurred at a time when six human souls had already been captured, because otherwise Gaster would have had no source of Determination to work with.

They don't generate DT, they just have DT. And Gaster doesn't just need tiny fragments of DT. He needs enough to S/L/R, and find a way to go back to before the Barrier broke.

Well, let's test the first part.

You just argued that any creature that doesn't have Determination, should instantly and immediately die.

So, all we have to do is make a list of all the monsters in Undertale that don't have DT. Which is literally all of them except the Amalgamates and Undyne.

Then, if all of them experience multiple, simultenous death, we'll know that your theory is correct.

(sets stopwatch)

(waits for Monster Kid, Papyrus, Muffet, Burgerpants, Bratt, Catty, and hundres of others to immediately die at Ambassador's spoken law.)

(time keeps passing)

You're fucked.

"They don't generate DT, they just have DT."

OK! Soooooo... million dollar question.... HOW DID ALL THE OTHER MONSTERS IN UNDERTALE GET THEIR DETERMINATION?

(JeopardyThemeSong.mp3)

According to Ambassador's spoken law... all Undertale monsters must have spontaniously generated Determination, which even he admits they don't create on their own!

And apparently, we as theorists are under absolutely no obligation to explain how this amazing substance, which Undertale's lore specificlaly states is only generated by human SOULs, suddenly, spontaniously ZAPPED INTO EXISTANCE IN ALL MONSTER SOULS AT ONCE!

Nevermind that, using your own world-famous catchphrase, there is **NO EVIDENCE** that any other monsters contain Determination.

We can see clearly that Undyne has Determination by how she resists death, and then melts at the end.

Undertale gives us a very clear visual indicator that certain monsters contain Determination. And that most don't.

It's perhaps the most important single substance in the ENTIRE GAME!

But you know what? Throw all that shit out! ALL MONSTERS HAVE DETERMINATION NOW! BECAUSE THE ALMIGHTLY AMBASSADOR HAS SPOKEN!
