Talk:Determination/@comment-31018473-20170111201500

I think people may have missed out on a subtle plot point, one only suggested at and never explicitly stated.

Alphys knew Undyne was heading to confront you, and in a genocide route - given that it is Alphys we are talking about - what is more likely:

A. That Undyne naturally posesses and shows "Determination" only during genocide playthroughs (a physical substance that can be measured and extracted and is not found in any other monster naturally) because she gets so much more angry than if you had simply killed Papyrus, all of her royal guards, and literally everyone else, but happened to spare one monster on your way that it simply brings out her determination.

B. Alphys was afraid of losing Undyne and, lying again, slipped Undyne the D. Just a little D. Surely not enough to make such a strong person dissolve into a puddle of goo (or so Alphys would hope.)

I won't edit it myself, because boy howdy do I know how fandom works on this Wiki, but it's at the very least not certain Undyne posesses natural determination: don't you think?
