Technically Sans does 1 damage, but unlike all the other enemies in the game, which when you collide with their attacks take a certain amount of your life and then disappear, Sans' attacks not only don't disappear but because they constantly deal 1 damage, the attacks rapidly drain the player's life for every millisecond you are in contact with them.

He attacks first, which is not really how it works. 2. Bones in your IU. 3. He plans on never giving you your turn and leave you to get bored.

My theory is a combination of quantum physics and the "sans is the player's foil" idea. First, we know that the 'reset' power can only be held by one person at any given time. This means its not a power that humans naturally have nor simply something you get once you reach a certain threshold of determination. It's a single entity that latches onto a "host" of sorts and can switch hosts if a more suitable one appears. I believe the creation that W D Gaster fell into wasn't the DT extractor or the underground's geothermal core. He was working on something much more ambitious, something that he believed would really solve all the problems of monsterkind: an omnipotence machine, more specifically, a machine that would give the user total mastery over space-time. At some point an accident happened, he fell into the machine and its power dispersed his existence across all of space-time. In that same accident the machine itself was broken, the powers that it held, those of space and time, seperated from the machine and became disembodied non-corporeal entities that each found a different host. Time became known as the power of reset and gave itself to the being with the most determination it could find, that was Flowey at first and later on, the player. Space was the exact opposite, choosing as its host the least determined, or in other words, the laziest person in the underground, and that was Sans. Sans teleports by folding space, his gravity manipulation is because gravity is a distortion in the fabric of space. In a way, each power sought out the type of personality most suited for itself. Space lets you take shortcuts, fetch objects without moving, and overall just be lazy. Time gives you the almighty ability to cheat death and select the future you want but in order to do so you must have the force of will, the determination, to power through the pain of death and the monotony of repeating the same events over and over until you get the desired outcome. Because Sans was connected to Gaster, he knows that since he received the power of Space, that must mean someone else who possesses the power of Time is out there. Though even he cannot retain his memories when resets happen, because he is aware that such a power exists he can take certain measures against it, thus he has taken it upon himself to keep an eye on whoever is hosting the reset power and act as a check on them if the need arises. He's enacted his "judgment" before when flowey went too far causing his "fair share of resets", and when Time jumps hosts from flowey to the player character, he shifts his attention to you instead.

Well, there's one problem with this theory. I agree with almost EVERY bit of it, except one tiny bit. You said sans can not recall when a reset happens. Though, if you do a genocide route, obviously you won't beat sans the first time you ever fight him. So, when you die, he says "That's the face of someone who's died ____ times." Or, something along those lines. My point is, he knows how many times you've died.

Sans is powerful because he breaks the fourth wall. He only has one defense, so he moved out of range of where your attacks actually hit in game. He can only do one damage, so he deals one per frame. He knows it’s all a 2D game and so he has found spatial shortcuts between different locations. He notices that your character can save and load, and he comes from “somewhere else” where he can’t go home to. He’s aware of the game, and he’s smart, so he’s able to manipulate it _just enough_ even without flowey’s powers.

@@bubblines I wouldn't say he's aware of the game buuuuut, he definitely doesn't play by the rules. He does exploit a lot of in-game features, more so than any other characters. And his weird connection with Flowey through hidden dialogue isn't explained either- *HE'S WEIRD*

[@thunderbolt5982]

a cool easter egg that shows that Sans technically has access to the game code is if you try to hack the game. Sans appears, says something (idk what X/) and then shuts the game down. It's pretty cool.

sans probably doesn’t have determination, and the amount he would need to do that would easily turn him into an amalgamate. flowey and the fallen humans can cause one, flowey is a flower, not a monster, and two, the fallen children are humans. monsters and DT do not mix well.

I agree with the determination theory, however I want to add something to this... sans is one of the most determined beings in the underground, only beaten by Undyne and maybe Asriel. however sans also knows about saves and resets more deeper than most characters, and to at least an extent knows that they live in a video game. this could also mean that sans can combine this knowledge with determination so that he can bend the rules of the game, rather than just defeating you outright. he dodges your attacks, he teleports, and even pervents your turn to keep you trapped in a fight forever. he is very determined, but fights with intellect rather than brute force, which he knows he lacks severely.

It is entirely possible that ‘gaster blaster’ is the name of the blasters just because it’s a pun of sorts and y’know sans likes himself some puns

[@theworthysoul]

The 'blood' he leaks before dying is probably either: - Ketchup, as we know he likes drinking ketchup from bottles. - Injected Determination. Edit: Sure it’s totally possible it could be real blood but it’s kinda weird since: Sans is a monster, even if he is a skeleton. Both him and his brother turn to dust on death, but Sans does it off-screen. Monsters are said to lack blood, and even if he could produce blood and was an outlier, how the heck would he keep all that blood contained, being a skeleton? There is definitely gaps in his clothing where blood could gush out.

[@undernetuser4042]

actually it couldn't be ketchup because the 'blood' is in his mouth, and since monster food is instantly absorbed there is no way he spit it up, and also if the ketchup somehow got in his mouth he would have healed and kept fighting.

[@undernetuser4042]

also because sans might have osteoporosis which would cause bones to be brittle, both explaining the 'blood' and his 1 hp.
