If you check the Wikia's List of Human SOULs, you'll see there is a citation needed for the red SOUL. No where in game are we told "Determination" is the red SOUL's key trait.

It's not canonical, it's just assumed.

Why does the red SOUL represent "Determination"? "Determination" is extracted from all of the human SOULs. Doesn't seem like a key trait to me. Can the other key traits get sucked out of human SOULs, too? Furthermore, in the red flag, it also sounds like Red Soul is the unity of all 6 traits (which is very much canonical, given the text itself). Would "Fate" fit on that category? Yes, Fate, just as Determination, would fit all those categories together. Patience, Bravery, Integrity, Perseverance, Justice, and Kindness can culminate in both.
