1) They lost because Asgore was too strong back then. Frisk was the first one to be that lucky. And it wasn't their choice to refuse, the soul refused by itself. It re-fused. Why? Well, it WAS because of determination, and at that point, the only goal for Frisk's soul was to continue. Because by going back, Asriel would seize the control. Before, as Flowey, he couldn't.

2) The "being yourself" applies to all possibilities. Whatever you do, that's you. It's just that. We don't know.

3) Even if Undyne met other humans besides Frisk, we can't be sure it was green and yellow. As I said, the position of the items are deceptive. After all, Catty and Bratty found yellow's gear in the dump. Before purple's and green's. And who knows from where did that gear get into the dump. Practically everything from Snowdin to Waterfall might flow into the dump. There are also some small bodies of water in the Ruins.

4) They might have left their items there because they found better ones. From the previous kids. Again, we can't be sure that cyan-orange-blue-purple-green-yellow is the correct order.

5) Not really sure what that "adding energy to the soul" is all about.

6) Dude no, I don't get the problem. You're talking about adding wavelenghts together, ultraviolet light and 1-dimensional lines, but I'm talking about Undertale here. As I say, WWTD. What would Toby do? Wavelengths? Please, get real. There's no natural system in the souls. Toby made it all up based on the monster encounter system and attack types. And as far as I'm concerned, red isn't based on anything (only Asgore's spear is red, or those warning flashing attacks), determination's true color is yellow (never in the game did DT bear a red color), and the trait of red souls is a mystery. Just because the underlying motif for Frisk's journey was determination, doesn't mean we should automatically associate it with their soul. Since, after all, all kids had the same powers, thanks to DT, and they did not have red souls. And the thing about Frisk surviving this journey, well, call that a dumb luck.

7) No theories of everything please. White is the color of monster souls. No connection with human traits whatsoever. After all, it's all magic, I ain't gonna explain shit. Since magic needs no explanation. If orange and yellow together make white, then that's just how it is.

You know, I also have this hypothesis about monster souls. According to one book in Snowdin (I don't think it's in the game itself, but it's still in the game files - and the game files are a great source of info), humans don't have magic. Maybe their souls are magical, but they don't have any "free" magic (that kind that you can throw around). So that explains why monster souls are white. Since pure magic is white. AFTER ALL, normal attacks are white also! Ding!
