I think you meant to say "Why doesn't Sans remember I'm genocides"


Ti3fen3

I love being genocides


fuzzy3158

Don't tell Sans, he tends to remember those things

Seabass2272

To give an actual explanation, sans cannot remember timeliness, contrary to popular belief. He is able to read your face and is able to guess what your feeling based off of the facial expressions of Frisk, of which we cannot see. The cut off of sans being unable to count the number of times is significant, as making sans be able to count exactly how many times you've died to him would have been neglible for Toby Fox to make. Flowey is able to remember your resets because of the amount of DT he possesses. Up until Frisk falls in, he had control over the Timeline.


CK1ing

I always assumed him talking about facial expressions was just another joke. Besides, doesn't he know the number of resets by using his machine or whatever? I think I remember some line about reading fluctuations in his boss fight


Seabass2272

Then you can see that as remembering loads, not resets. Loading back to a save is typically seen as staying within the same timeline, so it wouldn't be out of the question for sans to be able to see this activity. Reseting is a full wipe of everything back to when the most determined soul entered the underground. Reseting the timeline would also reset any kind of readings sans' machine would receive, unless you want to argue that it's impervious to the Reseting of the timeline, but we have no evidence to prove as such.


CK1ing

Sorry, I meant loads not resets. But yeah that does make sense


Seabass2272

The largest detractor of this viewpoint however, is that even if he is aware of you loading previous saves with his machine, he is likely not constantly teleworking between his machine and the Final Corridor just to see how many times you have loaded.


CK1ing

I mean, he can teleport, so I don't see why he couldn't. Maybe the distance between Sans and the nearest save point is so long for that reason, to make it plausible that he could check his machine in the time it takes you to get to him? Plus, if you think about it, from his perspective he's really only checking it once


Seabass2272

I also forgot, but interacting with the machine in the shed reveals that it does appear to be broken. While you can argue that appearing broke and being broken are two separate things, I feel it is quite a few leaps to say that he fixes it during the genocide run, sees and trusts the readings from the machine, is able to understand what those changes relate to, and teleports back to the Final Corridor in time to interact with Frisk. Plus we have no idea what the machine is meant to do. For all we know it could have been a complex soda machine.


CK1ing

I don't remember the exact dialogue, but I believe he specifically mentions the fluctuations that your determination causes. So he's definitely getting that information from somewhere, even if it's not the machine in the basement. To me it just makes more sense to assume they are one in the same, but that's neither here nor there


Mammoth_Regret4623

"Our reports showed a massive anomaly in the time space continuum. Timelines jumping left and right, stopping and starting... Until suddenly, everything ends. Heh heh heh... That's your fault, isn't it?"


Seabass2272

I personally interpret this differently. Instead of being able to actively see timelines moving, I think its more accurate to look at it in more of an imprint sense. Using Doctor Who as a reference, one of the main alien races they face off against is called The Silence, who can make you forget about them the moment you stop looking at them. The way they combat this is by making marks over their body for each one they see. Sans may be seeing these timelines start and stop, but these timelines are likely ones that have already passed and that can no longer be remembered. Each sudden reset adds a new mark to their readings, and each load adds a new turn. They can only see what has happened since Frisk last loaded/reset and to sans it would be the first time he's seeing those readings.


Kind-Neighborhood214

“Our” could mean that alphys helped and can see the data aswell


shader_m

My head canon is that the reason he keeps one of his hands in his pocket all the time is because he has a device connected remotely to his machine to help monitor space time fluctuations.


threeqc

to play devil's advocate: toriel mentions feeling that she can remember frisk before meeting them (and, in fact, feels this way towards every fallen human), implying that some information can withstand resets.


Clkiscool

Heard a theory that monsters have a minuscule amount of determination, but sans has none due to his laziness, so he doesn’t remember anything at all, but has the knowledge to know if there’s been a reset or load. Toriel feels like she’s met you before or already knew the humans who fell down when “first” meeting them. Asgore is slightly more, and when talking you can say that he’s killed you multiple times, and he nods


Epic_DDT

Sans can have deja vu too, but he only show it if you have killed Papyrus in a previous run.


Tasty-Reveal5977

sans is too lazy to talk about it; but we do know he has deja vu like everyone else


Epic_DDT

"unless you want to argue that it's impervious to the Reseting of the timeline, but we have no evidence to prove as such." Well, his lab behind his house is immune to reset for some reason.


GamerOverkill03

Unless he teleports to the machine and back to check how many times you died in the 5 seconds it takes to cross the last corridor, I think it’d safe to say sans is just absurdly good at expression reading. The lines in his boss fight reference some unknown vague device that apparently showed timelines repeatedly “stopping and starting”, likely a representation of Flowey’s (and potentially our) many RESETs.


ChrisTheWeak

Or rather, is checking the machine and teleports to the hall as you walk in. Given that we don't see him one frame and do the next.


EvenSpoonier

Sans does have some way of getting bits of big-picture information about other timelines, but he doesn't seem to have anything as granular or complete as a set of memories. He doesn't seem to recognize Frisk's role until the final battle, and I'm not sure we can assume he knows about Chara at all.


Epic_DDT

He guesses incorretly at least 1 time, and just stop trying to guess after 12 deaths. His machine doesn't help him on that.


2-0-4-8-6-3

Oh, *piss off*! Are you really telling me that Sans managed to figure out EXACTLY how many times he defeated the player just by looking at their face? I get it the first time, Frisk probably looked annoyed. But after that? No way. He literally nails it every single time


Seabass2272

1) Calm down. Its a game's lore 2) Yes, sans is not stupid. Its not hard to imagine that he can read facial expressions well enough to recognize how many times the player may have died 3) It is possible that he can remember loading previous saves, but to say he can remember a full reset I feel is a step too far 4) A face of surprise slowly evolving into frustration and anger that can hint to the # of deaths is not hard to imagine. If we grant the idea that sans can remember you loading previous saves, then should he have been observing you fight Undyne the Undying, dying multiple times, and seeing the evolution in Frisk's facial expressions, then it's not too hard to imagine that he could recreate the pattern when you face off against him. 5) If we were to grant the concept of Sans being able to remember saves, then it would make 0 sense why his attack pattern wouldn't adapt to how the player dodged the initial attacks. Adaptive attack patterns would not be hard to make either. By tracking where in the box the player dodged too, the next try can have game elements shift to that spot instead of wherever it was at first. 6) We ultimately have 0 concrete evidence that sans can remember resets or previous saves. Trying to argue that this is evidence does not work as highlighted above. concrete evidence would include sans or other characters making specific references to something that happened in the last run, and is aware that it happened in the last run e.g. after a genocide run, sans making mention about how he hopes your not a monster this time, Toriel guessing your preference between butterscotch or cinnamon, Papyrus handing you the electric orb from the start instead of going through each mistake he makes, etc.)


zerda_EB

I think he can TELL how many times a reset has happened (except true resets)


Tiny_Butterscotch_76

I think the facial expression thing is just a joke, and I don't think him stopping counting is significant. I think that was just how it would be hard to program it to happen infinite times. 


Seabass2272

Not really print(f'Wow, you have the face of someone who's died {death_count} times') I feel that the facial expressions is significant because it provides a pheasible way for sans to understand how many times you may have died to him without him truly knowing


Tiny_Butterscotch_76

I just feel like its meant to indicate that Sans has a higher level of awareness to what is going on then usual. Maybe not full on memory, but close to something like that.

StarWarsMKFan

It's because sans doesn't remember after resets, he just knows you have the power to reset. Some monsters have a sense of deja vu when you reset but sans has made jokes that he knows you have seen this before.but sans only remembers when you die, like the dinner date with him when you get to the hotel in hotland. But sans does not remember what you have done after resets. And he definitely won't remember true resets. True resets are what you get after completing a pacifist or genocide ending which is like a fresh start, or playing the game for the first time. The only thing that sticks in true resets is if you have previously done a genocide run, therefore with that information, I have the answer that sans cannot remember what you do when you reset.


Noooough

He’s **stupid**


Professional_Ruin251

is he stupid


Nikibugs

Completely straight face response to why he forgor: Sans is not capable of remembering through resets as Flowey is. He is only aware of the potential timelines, and knows which one results in the end of everything. Hence why he will only meaningfully intervene in that sequence of events. Even when he japes about your loss count in genocide, he is surmising that off of the expression on Frisk’s face. And had a series of pranks prepared for a time traveler with the correct passwords.


BryceCrisps

I just reset after a full genocide run and flowey greeted me with his typical introduction. I don't think flowey can remember the true reset


Nikibugs

Yes, true resets are the exception. True resets are a completely fresh slate, as if you downloaded a fresh copy of the game. There is one exception of course, a flag is permanently set for any subsequent save with a completed genocide run, to acknowledge the choice made at the end when you least expect it. You have to manually go into the game files to alter it, while accounting for Steam Cloud updating it back to what it last remembered your cloud save to be. I’d assume for console simply deleting the game and all save data, then redownloading would remove it.


Seabass2272

To expand on this a bit more, this flag is also where we get the two iterations of the True Pacifist and Neutral endings, with the True Pacifist ending having Chara's face appear on Frisks body accompanied by menacing laughter, and the Neutral ending where we have the group picture with everyone, but their faces are crossed out and it's Chara in the middle, not Frisk

Sans doesn't remember them exactly. It's like a deja vu like feeling. It's implied that he has some knowledge of resets, but as far as directly remembering, he can't.

Jazzlike_Couple_7428

If he truly does remember past timelines, I find it likely that he does remember the genocide path but also knows that frisk is different in every timeline, therefore he doesn’t really care or say anything about it when you meet again


Playful_Ad2565

He forgor


takenusername_yea

Why should he?


Seabass2272

I'm unsure of how serious you are with this question, but the common theory is that Sans is able to remember each time the player loads a previous save or reset. There is a minority (such as I) who don't think so, but the commonplace theory is that he can remember each reset


takenusername_yea

but he doesn't remember the resets


Seabass2272

Its a common point of contention. Because of a few lines during your battle with him, including him knowing how many times you've died to him, people seem to think that he can remember the resets, or loads at the very least.


takenusername_yea

He said he can see it on our face, which probably doesn't make sense, but oh well. Plus he also knows if you've killed him.

He canonly can't remember resets. Flowey warns u to not let him know anything about you after a few repeated neutral runs Sans blames you for the countless resets in the genocide fight even if you did only one, meaning he has no idea who Flowey is together with his talk to the protagonist about Papyrus n his "echo flower" experiences. He doesn't remember, he is aware n pretty god damn good at figuring out shit with that knowledge


That1RobloxPlayer

snipe me please


Adorable-Room-1499

Nero33398

Because You resetted the game?


HzErsin

Long story short; he cannot remember the timelines Frisk has created. He only *knows* your timelines in specific events like being in a genocide route or going back to Last Corridor again after he judged us. You can say he is just smart and a Sherlock Holmes as you can understand. Wouldn't it be funny to be killed and tricked in the sameway again and again after falling it for once? Take a look at Flowey. He only fight us for once in neutural routes. 'cuz he remembers what we did to him.


Low-Employment-4285

After a genocide route, NOBODY remembers except you and Chara, not even Frisk. The world was erased, Sans cant remember what was never there


Big-Cheetah9813

Maybe he does and is pretending he doesn't remember


Tall-Influence4321

For all of the people seriously explaining, yes, I understand why, this is a meme. You don't need to explain the actual reason.

Your genocide technically wiped the world out. There is no way it could be remmembered.

This reminds me of that one screenshot where the person was playing Deltarune, got to the Spamton section, and was like “wait I thought Spamton was this tall sexy dude what the hell is this?” or something like that.


MildlyIntimidating07

I've always thought he actually does remember the genocides but continues normally in hopes that there is still good in everyone (taught to him by a certain taller cool skeleton) and hopes that it'll be different and you'll be a pacifist


smodever

you gotta do 327 more


Scp-682-3

Tall-Influence4321

(It's a jooooooke)


Cringe_Goober77

ok.


KOCoyote

If it's after a genocide route actually being completed, then he doesn't remember because the first human child reset the whole universe. I don't think even Flowey remembers those resets. If it's after an attempt at a Genocide run, it could be a couple things, but my best guess/ fan explanation is that he's playing nice either because of the promise he made to Toriel, or because he wants to see if the human changed their mind this time or sime combination of both. It is implied that Sans doesn't have complete information of resets, so that could be a blind spot.
