“	...but you. you never gained any LOVE. 'course, that doesn't mean you're completely innocent or naive. just that you kept a certain tenderness in your heart. no matter the struggles or hardships you faced... you strived to do the right thing. you refused to hurt anyone. event when you ran away, you did it with a smile. you never gained LOVE but you gained love.	„

“	hmm... over lv9, huh. that's over halfway to lv20 the maximum. but don't think that means you're still 50-percent good. 50-percent, 20-percent... those are both still failing grades.	„

Summary

sans is a supporting character and the Genocide Route's final boss in the video game; Undertale.

He is one of the guards of Snowdin Village. Lazy and frivolous with a knack for making puns and jokes, he has no interest in capturing humans, much to the chagrin of his brother, Papyrus. Despite his exceedingly laid-back attitude and status as "the easiest enemy", Sans has proven himself to be extremely observant and dangerous when pushed too far, becoming the final challenge Frisk faces on the Genocide Route and the toughest opponent in the game.

Powers and Stats

Tier: 9-A

Name: sans the skeleton, The Judge, Smiley Trashbag (by Flowey), Sansy (by Drunk Bun), LAZY BONES (by Papyrus), The Easiest Enemy (by CHECK)

Origin: Undertale

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown

Classification: Monster, Skeleton

Powers and Abilities:

• Superhuman Physical Characteristics
• Genius Intelligence
• Monster Physiology
• Danmaku and Bone Manipulation (Most of his attacks consist of bones and Gaster Blasters that create complicated patterns. Able to directly make said bones appear from the ground, walls or ceiling and have variety of sizes)
  • Energy Projection and Summoning (Is able to summon Gaster Blasters of various sizes)
  • Intangible Attacks (His bones pass through Frisk's body without triggering their INV Frames, which allows them to briefly pass through attacks without taking any damage for few seconds after being hit)
  • Durability Negation and Status Effect Inducement (Sans' attacks inflict to the target KARMA, a poison-like effect that quickly whittles the opponent's HP down overtime and affecting both their souls and bodies, while also ignoring Frisk's INV Frames. Heavily implied to be capable of affecting Flowey, who lacks a SOUL)
  • Selective Additional Intangibility (Is able to control and manipulate blue attacks far better than his brother, which are attacks that can only be evaded if the target remains perfectly still)
  • Platform Creation (Uses many different sorts of platforms in his attacks)
  • Telekinesis and Gravity Manipulation (Is capable of using Blue Magic to add "weight" to the SOUL. Can move Chara's SOUL with a wave of his hand)
• Instinctive Action (Is capable of dodging attacks while he was deep asleep, only getting hit when Frisk broke the game's combat system)
• Social Influencing (Is a professional prankster, being capable of making Asgore laugh for the entire duration of the comedy show. First day he appeared in Grillby's, he sat down and said "i'll take the usual", and just by acting like an old time customer, he often made everyone laugh so he was quickly accepted as one)
• Fourth Wall Awareness (Combat-Applicable: Winks at the Player and talks to them, other than noticing if they hack the game Can attack from the menu and within the very idea of doing actions. Could interject in the Game Over screen if he kills Frisk during their Mercy. With his Special Attack, he is capable of indefinitely extending his turn by not taking it, ensuring that the enemy cannot attack, use equipment, talk, use abilities and interact with Sans)
• Clairvoyance and Enhanced Extrasensory Perception (Is capable of sensing and knowing Frisk's LOVE, EXP and feelings)
• Vehicular Mastery (Can drive a bicycle one handed while going faster than a racecar, is forklift certified)
• Information Analysis (Just by looking at Frisk's face Sans is able to know how many times he has killed them, how many times they killed him, if they spared him and got tricked)
• Toon Force (Should be the same as his brother)
  • Air Manipulation (Has a self-sustaining tornado in his room)
  • Fire Manipulation (His room is constantly burning, but only from the outside)
  • Sound Manipulation (Is able to play the "ba dum tss" noise when he makes puns)
  • Spatial Manipulation (Created an infinitely layered joke book that contains a quantum physic book which contains a joke book which contains a quantum physic book and so on)
• Teleportation (Capable of teleporting himself or others)
• Minor Empathic Manipulation (When against Sans, the opponents will likely feel guilt as if their sins were crawling on their backs)
• Likely Time Stop (As shown when he seemingly stopped time in Grillby's, which matches aesthetically several instances where Sans seemingly disappears. Papyrus also confirms Sans to have both space and time-related abilities from personal experience)
• Resistance to Extreme Cold and Extreme Heat (Can survive in Hotland, which can reach temperatures high enough to vaporize a styrofoam cup and water instantly. He also lives in Snowdin with no problem, where the snow is so cold that it does not melt from Hotland's heat, with Undyne finding it significantly cold. Should also be the same as Undyne, who easily took an overheat explosion from a MTT brand oven, which can reach temperatures of 9000 °F)

Attack Potency: Small Building level (Stated to be the "easiest enemy" due to having 1 ATK, although he's still stronger than a Frisk with 0 ATK and Minimal Determination. Can move hundreds of kilograms of bones at high speeds), Can ignore conventional durability with KARMA

Speed: Massively Hypersonic+ (Able to consistently tag a Frisk at LV 19 during the Genocide Route. Most of his attacks are faster than Frisk even with their speed being maxed to x2 through consuming Sea Teas), with higher reactions (Capable of consistently dodging Frisk to such a degree that they could never land a hit on Sans, even if they reset and knew exactly what he would do and where he would be, and even if he was asleep. Was only hit after Chara interfered), even higher Attack Speed with Gaster Blasters (The Gaster Blaster's beams can cross vast distances instantly, and travel faster than Frisk or Sans can move, with the former being able to avoid these only through aim-dodging)

Lifting Strength: Unknown physically, Class 10 with Magic (Can move hundreds of kilograms of bones at high speeds for his attacks. Has a better Telekinesis than his brother, who can move and control giant bones)

Striking Strength: Small Building level

Durability: Small Building level (Same as his Attack Potency due to both his ATK and DEF having the value of 1, making him more durable than a Frisk with 0 DEF and Minimal Determination)

Stamina: Average (Can repeatedly dodge attacks from Chara, but after a while, he showed various signs of tiring, such as sweating, heavier breathing, and eventually beginning to fall asleep. Despite this, Sans was still able to dodge an attack after growing fully exhausted. If Chara doesn't attack him, Sans will keep using his attacks without getting tired, including teleportation and time stop)

Range: Tens of Meters with Bone Attacks, higher with Gaster Blasters, Kilometers with Teleportation

Standard Equipment: Gaster Blasters

Intelligence: At least Genius, likely Extraordinary Genius

While Sans is lazy, he has demonstrated incredible skill and proficiency in science and physics. Presumably, he reads quantum physics books in his off-time. Sans is so perceptive that he can accurately deduce how many times Frisk has died and tried again through time travel just by looking at their expression. He can also guess if Frisk has already killed him but has reset the timeline just to fight him once more, as well as whether he dunked Frisk or not. Most notably, Sans possesses knowledge of the SAVE System, as he runs reports that show the activity of a multitude of timelines. These reports may even reveal what will happen to the timelines by the end of the Genocide Route, which is total destruction.

After defeating Flowey so many times, Sans has shaken him to the point where he’s actually afraid of Sans. Even though Flowey considers himself as emotionless, just hearing anything somewhat connected to Sans’ makes him tremble

Sans has a workshop located in the basement of his house, which contains blueprints with unfamiliar handwriting or symbols related to a "strange machine", presumably referring to the broken machine covered up in the same room. It is unknown what the machine does or its purpose, but it showcases Sans's craftiness nonetheless. Sans also appears to share a deep friendship with Alphys, and likely knowing about the dark truth of the Amalgamates, which is supported by him having the dogfood Alphys uses to feed Endogeny. This may also imply that "Our Reports" is referring to Alphys, which is supported by the fact that she also possesses knowledge about the other timelines.

Weaknesses: Standard Monster weaknesses. He tends to be rather lazy and won't fight unless it's absolutely necessary. Whether by choice or due to an actual weakness, Sans is unable to attack during a time stop; he can only set up attacks that will start moving once time resumes. He cannot do anything during his special attack, and his opponent can attack him if he falls asleep.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Blue Mode Sans's "Strongest Attack" Gaster Blasters Teleportation 1/4 SOUL Manipulation: Blue Mode: Similar to his brother, Sans turns his opponent's SOUL blue, giving it "gravity" and allowing him to more easily hit his foes. However, Sans appears to have a far greater mastery of this ability than Papyrus, allowing him to effortlessly fling his foe around by manipulating their SOUL, or effectively "changing gravity" and forcing them to move along the walls or ceiling. Bone Attacks: Sans will send a massive amount of bones at his opponent, forcing them to think on their feet to dodge all of them. He will mix up his style, forcing his foes to jump through small gaps between bones, over pits full of dozens of bones, or even to rush along the platforms so that they don't fall into a deadly trap composed of dozens upon dozens of bones. Sans will often throw in blue bones, which while they cannot be dodged, will only hurt his opponent if they attempt to move through them as opposed to allowing it to pass harmlessly through. While these attacks hardly seem to so any damage initially, the damage quickly racks up from remaining in contact with them, allowing this relatively weak opponent a way of bypassing the defenses of superior foes. KARMA: Whatever is struck by one of Sans's attacks will suffer from this condition, for a brief period. It essentially functions as poison damage for one's SOUL. KARMA cannot exceed 40 and also cannot cause the protagonist's HP to fall below one, with the more KARMA damage is built up, the faster it drains. Gaster Blasters: Strange devices in the shape of skulls which fire powerful lasers from their maws. Like Sans's bones, Gaster Blasters will often be used in numbers and will deal KR damage. Teleportation: While Sans is unable to reset the universe in the manner of someone such as Frisk or Flowey, he has shown to have a useful form of teleportation, allowing him to teleport not only himself but objects and other people, as well. During battle, Sans will often teleport his opponent, himself, and his attacks, not only moving out of harm's way but moving his foe into the path of a new attack. He has also shown the ability to restrain an enemy by repeatedly warping them back to their initial position.

Notes:

Extra Note: It is accepted that KARMA isn't connected to the sins because otherwise it would be extremely hard to determine how KARMA would work in vs threads.
