When Undyne dies in the nuetral route it kinda looks like she gets the spikes on her armor of her undying form and other various little things in the background, but I think the reason she is able to surpass death in Genocide is because she can feel everyone's hearts beating as one. Humans (Which have determination), and monsters. She doesn't care about killing the human to break past the barrier, she cares about killing the human to PROTECT everyone, not just monsters, but everyone. In the nuetral run though, she still cares about killing you for Asgore. She doesn't care about killing you to protect everyone. I think that's why she can't transform and ends up melting.

Although it is stated in the game that Alphys gave Undyne the "pink liquid" that is theorized/stated to be DETERMINATION, nowhere in the game is it even stated Undyne was injected with DETERMINATION. Even if she was, she'd melt after a week or so (just like the Amalgamates.) Undyne seems to be the only Monster in the Underground who has earned her own natural-DETERMINATION. Unlike the Amalgamates, Undyne only melts when she's at death-point / going to be resurrected. Which explains why she's the strongest monster in the world.

Which alternative Neutral Route is that? If you kill off Asgore, Papyrus becomes Captain of the Royal Guard. (Despite being disbanded.) If you kill off Papyrus and Asgore, Undyne overthrows Toriel. (Remains ruler.) If you kill off Undyne and Asgore the Royal Guard becomes disbanded.

I've been following your channel since the ­"What if Asriel never died" video and I've seen your channel grow with each new video. Each new video you make is better than the previous, you keep improving all the time. Which is pretty tough to do, given that you can only make theories about the same game for so long before all theories have been covered. But even then, you still find long-lasting questions and provide the best evidence to answer them. I hope you're gonna see this, since I'm earlier than usual, cuz I'd really like you to see it. Just keep going, I love your channel! You've come a long way from the beginning, don't give up! And most importantly... Thank you for continuing to make videos. You've kept going despite the challenges you've faced with your channel. Whether it be the end of annotations on KZbin that forced you to change your outro (I loved your old outro so much!) or KZbin demonetizing some videos of yours, you've kept going and making videos. Honestly, I would have given up at your place. But I'm not you, (thankfully!) and you haven't given up. So thank you! Lots of appreciation for you, Underlab!

I think Alphys did give Undyne DETERMINATION but only during the Neutral and Genocide route. But during the Neutral route, because so many monsters are still alive, you aren't seen as a huge threat so she isn't as determined, so she gives in to the side-effects. But with the Genocide route, she's so determined that she's able to persist past death and fight one more time. With the Amalgamates, it took a day for the side effects to kick in and for them to melt, so Undyne had plenty of time to fight us. But when we killed her, she started trying to use the DETERMINATION to go on, but the side effects kicked in and she melted while dying. But in the Genocide route, she was so determined that she was able to use the DETERMINATION properly and she was able to go on past death, like the player can. And especially during the Genocide route, there isn't much hope. Monsters only fight you in order to give the others more time to escape. Alphys had already been evacuating the entire Underground, they probably both knew Undyne would end up dead like everyone else. It was a suicide mission, so they used DETERMINATION in order to prolong the fight and buy everyone more time to evacuate.

[@Gamermoment2749]

well in my opinion she forms her own determination due to the threat of you trying to destroy everything and so when shes about to die she forms this determination to try and stop you and the reason she melts in neutral is because shes trying to use her determination to only hurt instead of doing the right thing

[@Seriously_Unserious]

When it comes to Undyne and Determination, and what happened to the Amalgamates when injected with determination, there's one small line that seems to be overlooked by the theorists. "I kept injecting them with determination." meaning Alphys injected the monsters in her lab with more and more determination, it's possible in her impatience she merely overdosed them on the stuff and that's what caused their melting and combining into the amalgamates. So it wasn't so much that monsters couldn't contain ANY determination at all, but that they were injected with way too much of the stuff, and OD'ed. If that's the case, and Undyne got a hold of a small dose of determination, or injected hers in small, controlled doses over time, she may have been able to adapt to the stuff rather then OD'ing and melting away like the others did. Maybe with the Amalgamates it was simply a case of too much too fast. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, Underlab.

[@shronkler1994]

This is pretty plausible, I believe the determination is generated by herself

[@beyonderdoesyt4927]

Short answer: Her DETERMINATION. Long answer: This video.

[@theemeraldboat9947]

Another explanation is possible. The Amalgamates melted cause they were injected with determination, right? Maybe. But, there can be another factor. The amalgamates were *dead*, and because of that, they gave no resistance to the "determination melting" effect. But, in Undyne's case, she was still alive when injected, so she would not have melted with a small dose of determination which is enough to keep her determined but not enough to save and load. The reason she starts melting when dying is because she starts to cross the line between life and death, thus provoking the "determination melting" effect, and turns into a sticky puddle. But what about on the genocide route, where she comes back. Let's put on our tinfoil hats, everyone! We are getting into conspiracy territory now. So, Alphys may have seen the ruthless killing of the player, and, convinced that it wasn't going to stop, gave Undyne a failsafe that if Undyne was struck with a fatal blow, Alphys would activate said failsafe, which would start to theoretically release more determination from some kind of capsule in her bloodstream or something. This new determination would revive undyne, and BOOM! SECOND HARDEST BOSS MADE!

[@sweaterketchup2730]

My theory on Undyne's determination: She had it all along, and the reason she didn't melt? Plot design. And because in the true lab, it says the monsters melted because they lacked the physical matter to hold detemmienation, which is a requirement because monsters are more in tune with their souls, so they can do MAGIC which holds their body together before they fall down. This is what Undyne avoids, by having the physical matter to hold determination. also hOi!!!!

Enjoyed! I hope the next video would talk about characters people might have forgotten about, such as River Person. I've been thinking about him, he is aware of gaster, and he does warn us about him by saying "beware of the man who speaks in hands." Or talk about weird things that the protagonist goes through, such as finding a number on a paper stuck on a fishing rod. Or being called by someone who thinks we are "G." I really enjoy your vids, and their main ideas too. But if you'd get us somehow to understand those I'll appreciate it, thank you!

[@0zz1ee]

Luckily Underlab hadn't thrown the FISH in while making this video. He sure REELED this theory in through. AAAAAAAAAAAY~!

[@TheWeppyHappy]

Quite early but worth it ! Love your work Underlab !

[@meerkatm-h7409]

Is it possible that Undyne (and other monsters) are capable of retaining a small quantity of determination? In one of the true lab entries, Alphys refers to determination as the will to keep living. Surely all living creatures must posses some of this ability, so why can't monsters posses determination? (I believe that this may also be the reason for Sans's depression, because, as an undead monster, he has no true life. Possibly this means that he has no real will to keep living, but has stayed alive, despite his depression, because he has his brother to care for. (Maybe Papyrus has the will to live because of his optimism?)) Therefore, I theorise that monsters can sustain determination, but not in large concentrations or when weakened (notice that Undyne only melts at the end of her fight, when defeated, and the amalgamates apparently survive some time while recieving doses of determination before merging. (true lab entries)). However, why, then can Undyne not simply reload? Maybe determination acts differently on monsters, with their magical bodies lacking in physical matter. Also, is determination really what makes human souls strong? If we accept my previous statements as accurate, then perhaps no, or perhaps you require a large quantity of determination to have a significant effect. However, is it possible that it is the human body that the human soul is in that makes it strong? Human bodies can handle large quantities of determination, so is it possible that they can handle stronger souls as well? And, why are humans incapable of handling magic (as far as we see in game, there is one sprite that suggests otherwise). Maybe you need a monster body to use magic. This would indicate that monsters have an ability that humans cannnot use without external abilities. There are many questions here and very few answers, so its up to you to speculate. Also, it would be interesting to see a video on this theory. Its a completely different take on the the determination mechanic in Undertale, and I would love to see how it turns out.

[@juliuskulla2097]

Unlike the Amalgamates, Undyne only melts when she's at death-point / going to be resurrected. Which explains why she's the strongest monster in the world.

[@htdindra]

Undyne the Undying That would make a lot of sense. Due to Undyne's sheer strength and will she is able to persist past the "Determination" and even death. She even says that she, herself, is determined. As Flowey stated, the being with the most determination can save, control, and reset. If she can manifest her own DT, then she is easily the strongest monster. People say Sans is tough... sheesh.

[@delta3244]

+Alex Rawlings idk why people say Sans is tough, because he's just simply smart and has space/-time- manipulation and a strong weapon (counting bones, KR, and GB's in the weapon category), a great combination for a smart person (or in this case monster).

[@htdindra]

Delta Sans the character is strong, but the thing that makes his fight weak is that he uses the same attacks over and over again, probably due to laziness, therefore making it easy to memorize his attacks. Then you can beat him practically every time.

[@delta3244]

+Alex Rawlings, he is exceptionally weak compared to other monsters in the game (if we can believe either the in game or out of game stats). He just is the only one who came in with the capability to doge attacks perfectly. However, his S/T manipulation is probably one of the strongest abilities in the game, just because of how open ended it is (refer to phase 2 of Sans' fight for some details...), so I'll give you that.

[@iron_handschampion3987]

Determination sort of melts monsters. So during the sans fight we see sweat on his skull, what if that isn't sweat but him melting due to his determination to stop you?

[@myszycygaming409]

Good theory

[@roboticwaffle1559]

Wow, this is actually a really cool idea. Most people I've heard assumed that Alphys gave her her Determination, but I always agreed with you-I don't think she'd want to risk her crush becoming a puddle on the floor. But the idea that she just got it on her own is a pretty cool idea, and something that I've never heard before. Good job. (And Undyne is most definitely my favorite character. Hence the profile picture.)

[@psiartiness64]

But what would happen if a human and monster go together and made a baby before the humans vs. monsters war? Wouldn't the child then have half a human soul and half a monster soul....or would it fuse together and become a god (like Chara and Asriel)? Which would mean that that human would have to have the "Determination" soul trait via genetics, so that would mean that humans can than one or more than one soul trait (or would combining two different soul traits create a new soul trait (example: Perseverance trait + Integrity trait = Genius/Theorist trait)? WHY SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS?!

[@pandalover4553]

[@amosimo8527]

which means genocide, though sans apparently has its power not from determination as most people think, cuz flowey actually mentions him as smiley trashbag in an easteregg, and says that he caused him his "fair amount of resets" or something like that,which means sans had its power before any collected human soul got down here (and when i say collected that means except chara cuz her/his soul disappeared) which means that sans has his power NATURALLY sry for the long answer :3

[@amosimo8527]

sorry, but there's a difference between a determined hero that wants to die just to save his kind, a bone and the freaking god of HYPERDEATH he's a god, the easiest fight, but the strongest ennemy, he has the power to reset, and has more DT than us, if DT makes the strength in this game, then Azzy makes himself the strongest pretty easily not only in monsters, but humans too PS: that's why don't have the option to die in this fight, cause we wouldn't be able to come back, it would be the true gameover. and a monster that can make u truly waste 10 dollars in real life (not being able to play undertale again) is absolutely the strongest creature in a video game

Theory: alphys injected her with a small amount of determination, not enough to melt her. Then, she created an eyepatch to keep the determination dormant and avoid the risk. In the undyne the undying battle, she sacrifices herself, taking off the eye patch and letting the determination flow. At the end she melts, meaning that the determination has made it's effect.

2:56 NONONONONO! WRONG! Undyne is THE STRONGEST, maybe second to MTT Neo, but i am not really sure if his ridicilously low defense is natural of that for or is just because of "you". Still, Sans is THE WEAKEST MONSTER IN TE GAME! How could you get that wrong??? ;^;

[@bruceainsworth5513]

Drago 303 he's talking about the fights

[@drago3036]

gabeshredspaper exactly. So it is not strong; it is HARD. It is just that this is a really common misunderstanding, i can't stand to it after seeing it so many times :"/

[@sneasthememelord4241]

Drago 303 to be honest that is true Sans is the weakest enemy he only does one damage.............. per frame lol

[@AhmOOO]

Drago 303 I'm saying that sans is the most powerful and the most weakest character

[@kinghippo6180]

Sans isn't that powerful. Still I could never make it past him.

[@LilyTengoku]

After she becomes too weak to hold her immense determination, she melts. But with extreme heroism, her determination becomes so great it allows her to survive.

[@AuriofTheHooligans]

She doesn't embody the hopes and dreams. She's not Asriel.

[@crowkitten2661]

Asriel Dreemurr she does because no one thinks sans can stop you

[@thatonelegoguytolg8369]

Asriel Dreemurr either do you

[@pandalover4553]

Hopes and Dreams and SAVE The World are Frisk's Songs while His Theme and Burn in Despair are Asriel's in my eyes so I would have to disagree.

[@albertschoise8091]

Asriel Dreemurr prince can I say that she represents and protects the hopes and dreams

[@AuriofTheHooligans]

Jeez. Give me a break and take a joke please.

Undyne. Sleeps on the underlab logo and slides off just because she can.

NGAHHH!!!

[@sweaterketchup2730]

NGAH HAH HAH!!!!!!!!!

[@Dreamheart101]

So wait, when Undyne changes into Undyne the Undying, does that mean she's taking on a more physical form? Monsters don't have enough physical matter to contain determination, and on the neutral route Undyne does in fact start to melt. However on genocide she changes her form entirely; is this her changing to a more physical form to contain her newfound determination?

[@aperson7199]

Undyne is my favorite character in Undertale she's so cool!!! (Right now I am literally monster kid, aren't I?)

[@fortifyxgames314]

For all you die hard Sans fans out there... Fuck Sans. Undyne is so underrated as a character. She is so much better than Sans and she needs much more love. Sans only stepped in and stopped you when you killed his brother, he didn't care about anyone else. All he thinks about is papyrus. While Undyne, Undyne cares about everyone, every monster, EVERY HUMAN. She put someone's life before her own. She never gave up hope, she kept going to the very end. Like in the normal route how she just melts, trying so hard to stay alive, to not die...because she doesn't want the underground to be unguarded. She has one job and that is to protect everyone and by dying she is failing this. fangirls fight me all you want. Undyne is the TRUE hero, she is much more powerful than Sans and she needs more love. I understand why you like her so much as a character. I mean 95% of the fandom only cares about the sans and papyrus... I find Undyne a much better character and she has to be one of my favorite video game characters, ever.

[@forestowl8708]

FortifyXGames *is an asriel fan* okay..

[@keechoocalzone]

tbh all the people who scrolled down this far arent sans fan girls. But if this gets higher up in the comment section (which it should) well.. expect a flame war

[@electric6247]

I agree PERIOD ()

[@pink1200]

hOi!!!

[@Anthony89810]

*is an annoying dog fan* uhhhh

[@usermcskull4713]

4:09 The reason Undyne can't reset is that only Frisk(the player) is the only one able to reset because he/she has the most determination. If Frisk and Flowey never had determination than Undyne would probably be able to reset

[@vlad_gor_]

I think, Undyne has more determination than Flowey.

[@bee9268]

i like t four 1: sans 2:papyrus 3:undyne 4:asgore

Marco Capellupo lol

[@lonksensei2259]

(BEFORE FINISHING VIDEO: MY THEORY) Undyne is an amalgamate. straight up. also, her eye glow. sans has it too, so maybe they are connected. being an amalgamate, she would have crazy powers. like summoning blue spears, or living past death. her melting could also point to this because we see that at 4:23 the amalgamate is “melting”. i will edit to see if im right.

[@vyrious7029]

Trust me, Sans is a lot more easier than Undyne The Undying...

[@celestialjunipers6829]

Vyrious mines opposite. Took me more than 20 tries for Undyne. Took me a year to beat sans.

[@insertusernamehere8999]

Coffee that means ya suck at gaming

[@ceruulean_tbh]

That's funny. You must have never gotten to Sans. HE IS RIDICULOUSLY HARDER THAN UNDYNE THE UNDYING!!!

[@Ruggi21]

Undyne would melt sooner or later anyways, remember “a monster body can’t handle determination”

[@speedemonx1799]

Kled Bot No you ain't

[@imstupid7614]

Kled Bot nah, someone else came first

[@tcarrotgaming1639]

first is the f word, so stop cursing.

[@thesnailphilosopher]

My theory is that being filled with determination is different than becoming determined. Let me explain. The former is a type of magic and is what Alphys harvested and injected into the soon-to-be amalgamates and what Frisk uses to save and reset. The latter is what Undyne has, not a magic, but a feeling. There is a whole bunch more details that I made up about the exact science of it, but that's too complicated for a simple comment.

[@silver-eon4848]

Undyne cool but sans is the best!

[@pillarnexustheancientgladiator]

Undyne watched Alphys' anime collection. It filled her with determination.

[@Green-3c34y65vrbu]

AWNSER, the pink smoothie my fellow true undertale fans alredy knew why this is cannon

[@deepfry70]

yes when you find the shoes it is highly advised that the human died there the grass that alphys uses contains the determination of the dead human

[@coulsonknight]

Nice video, also it's my birthday today!

[@sammystar829]

She is my favorite Undertale character. This video gives a pretty good sum of it.

[@Nat-pc5vm]

No sleeping on the logo undyne u know that

[@the._.gluestick]

Undyne is not favourite CHARActer but... MY LIFE

[@talongreenlee7704]

I always thought that it was because they had been trapped underground for so long, they had lost the will to live, but since Undine knows that you’re the last human soul needed to break the barrier, she regains her hope and becomes determined.

[@gabegamer8646]

2:59 how about omega flowey and asriel the god of hyper death and angel of death

[@strongfish9166]

*I remember in the "Your soul mate" fan video,there are music titles both in English and in Japanese . *And when it comes to Battle Against a True Hero , the Japanese title says Determination , in red. *In that case,I think Undyne somehow generated her determination power all by her self,and she's the first monster who successfully done that.

[@fish-stickoverlord3047]

It's so weird! When I was notified of this video, I was drawing Undyne he Undying
