Sans's HP doesn't have to be similar to Papyrus's. And, according to what I said above, his HP at the time of the battle isn't necessarily the same as his HP at other times. Stats can change.

As for his death... are you sure that wasn't the kill sound? And he'd have to have a LOT of HP in order to survive that hit. Even several hundred wouldn't do.

But yes, I think he does have 1 HP at the time of the battle. I also believe he must have had more at other times, but he was already quite discouraged to begin with, and losing Papyrus was devastating for him. Then watching Chara kill everyone else... I think at the point of the battle he's just clinging to the last glimmer of hope of getting the "anomaly" to reset and set things right... hence the extremely low stats.

I believe his stats must be much higher at the end of the True Pacifist route, but still not too high because he wouldn't want to fight anyway. If you listen to the sound and compare it you will hear that it is the spare sound effect due to the slight difference in pitch and length, I can't find it though there is a thread that covers this. He probably focussed the attack on several of his ribs so that it wouldn't be his soul, that is clearly in his skull because eye lights, evolutionary sense for protecting it and the way Papyrus's head still behaved like he had a soul for his final moments on the run I didn't do. it probably did weaken him a bit though not to the extent of wanting to be dead, otherwise he wouldn't be burning every scrap of energy on slowing time to dodge your attacks and summoning all his attacks. I think it would be similar to his brother because of the monster equivilent of genetics, he would share a lot of the data for producing the same patterns and fibres of magic for his body resulting in similar health just like other monsters of the same species or which are related, except the Dreemurrs but the difference is Toriel loving you whilst Asgore probably had LOVE.
