Sans can reset? [Theory]

[Rukia]

In the Genocide run, Sans talks about the time stream and about things being reset. Only people who can reset retain memories, like Flowey, Asriel, Frisk and Chara. If Sans remembers, can he reset too?

[Hatsune Miku]

He doesn't remember, he just knows.

Basically he's a scientist who knows too much about his world.

Sans doesn't keep his memories through resets. He just deduced everything. He's also scarily good at reading your face.

[Rukia]

He once mentioned about me killing Toriel after I killed her, reset and spared her.

I think that Sans knows when you reset, but he doesn't know what you did before you reset.

For example, you can do a Pacifist Route, and then reset during it.
Sans would not know that you were on a Pacifist Route, he'd just know that you reset.

Well, that's what I think. :P

If you've been to his secret room, you know that there's more to it than that.
Somehow he's got photos from alternate timelines, including the group photo from the pacifist ending.

Which means that he's aware of what you've done in the other timelines, and therefore he can easily deduce what you're trying to achieve in the current one.

As an example, he knows that you've killed Toriel in some timelines, and spared her in others. Toriel is both alive and dead -- in separate timelines that are equally real. That's quantum mechanics, similar to the Schrödinger's cat paradox.

He definetely doesn't keep memories from other timelines.
In Pacifist Ending he needs to send himself a secret password through you to believe you're a time traveller.
In Genocide battle it seems he didn't know you were the anomaly at first.
Flowey in Genocide talks about having messed with Sans in the "past" and yet in all paths Sans ramains oblivous to Flowey's existence.

Whatever he knows seems to come from his research, not an actual first hand experience. Where exactly does he talk about Toriel, i can't remember it.

[Rukia]

When you kill, then reset and spare her then go to be judged.

Sans has no determination, how could he reset?

[market2002cn]

Technically he does Alphys injected him with some

[market2002cn]

No wait either Gaster or Alphys

Thread Necro.

[Nekogaming1500]

Also, there is no proof sans is injected with determination. It makes 0 sense, as he doesn't fall apart like Undyne, and he can be killed. sans just has a lot of stamina. He is very very weak, but his stamina makes up for it.

[Nekogaming1500]

Also, since this thread has been revivived, I'll give my 2 cents. Sans can't reset. Sans doesn't remember any past routes. He knows about resets via his work. He also knows about alternate timelines, as one of his alternate dialouge in his fight is, "don't tell that to the other sans-es, okay?" Sans only knows of alternate timelines, resets, etc via work with Alphys, or W.D. Gaster if you really are a matpat fanboy.

4 year old response, but the photo in his lab is not from the pacifist ending. It even says that you don’t recognize the people in the photo.

The game hints that Sans is from a different universe/timeline and that’s how he knows about determination and resets. The riverperson quote, “Beware of the man from the other world,” also is likely to refer to Sans.
