Maybe it's possible Sans can actually only use this on people who have sinned, but to my knowledge, that hasn't been confirmed. The only thing I can think of is the 'sins crawling up your back' thing, which yeah, makes it sound like KARMA is the same thing as karma. However, it seems no one knows what it really means, or if someone does, I've never heard of it. maybe something to do with killing, since both words starts with a 'k'. The fact it's used in all caps makes me think it's some sort of acronym. I personally don't think KARMA really means the same karma people speak of (that whole impersonal force which comes back to bite you in the butt when you screw up), since LOVE and EXP are acronyms who don't mean what we originally think either. Now, as to where people get the 'Sans can only use this against people who sinned' thing from, I don't know. (20-30 KARMA damage)ĭoomed to death of KARMA! (30-40 KARMA damage, according to wiki, but no longer used in-game because of programming errors)Īs you can see, KARMA is actually named in-game, which is where part of it stems from. You felt your sins weighing on your neck.

You felt your sins crawling on your back. At least one reason it's called KARMA is because of specific flavor text that appears when you have enough KARMA damage racked up.
