So we all know about know about determination right? The will to keep living… The resolve to change fate. The power that allows souls to persis or to defy death itself. but one question haven’t answer is, where does the name actually came from?

It has been brought up a few times in the game. First time we see it is when you interact with a SAVE. they express our determination though the event or situations of the game. Going back into true lab, only activated in the true ending. We learn that alphys made a discovery on it. With the DT extractor, she found out what give souls the will to live, but i don’t think she the one to give the name for the power. Why? Because the name looks and sounds too simple and literal to be alphys…And who do we know who makes names Yes alphys got the name from the king of monsters and it make sense she would, it been stated before that while she’s in love with undyne she had other mull crushes before one of them is asgore. B) Asgore She made metton to impress him, so it mostly likely she used the word he once said for the experiment too. Have we seen him said this word before? Yes! Where?
 * ENTRY NUMBER 5: 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."
 * [That Emblem]
 * Eh? You don't know what that is?
 * What are they teaching you kids in school nowadays...?
 * Wa ha ha!
 * That's the Delta Rune, the emblem of our kingdom.
 * The Kingdom...
 * Of Monsters.
 * Wahaha!
 * Great name, huh?
 * It's as I always say...
 * Ol' King Fluffybuns can't name for beans!
 * Who does Dr. Alphys have a crush on?
 * WHY WOULD SHE OUTFIT AN AMUSEMENT ROBOT… WITH BRUTAL COMBAT CAPABILITIES? SIMPLE. TO IMPRESS MR. ASGORE DREEMURR, OF COURSE! OR AS ALPHYS CALLS HIM… “MR. DREAMY.” THOSE STRONG ARMS… THAT LUSTROUS BEARD… LIKE ALL THOSE WHO CREATE WEAPONS. SHE CRAVES THE TENDER EMBRACE OF A BURLY MAN. CAN SHE TRULY BE BLAMED?
 * [Royal Scientist]
 * So Alphys has always, like...
 * Thought ASGORE is a SUPER cutie.
 * So, like, I'm pretty sure she...
 * Made Mettaton to, like, totally impress him.
 * A robot with a SOUL...
 * That's, like, SUPER relevant to his hobbies!
 * So after seeing Mettaton, ASGORE...
 * Asked her to do all this science stuff for him!

Game over screen when we die, When we sleep twice or more in HOME, And in the true lab, in Tape 5: asgore have told this to the first human to fell down here, which later inspire them, frisk and us to continue on with over journey. to never give up. despite all odds and impossibility we keep moving forward. for someone who is derpressing in the main story line, he really does know how to give people hope huh
 * Tape 5
 * (Toriel) ... Can you hear me? We want you to wake up...
 * (Asgore) ! You have to stay determined! You can't give up! You are the future of humans and monsters...
