Yeah, he always manages to keep Frisk at at least 1HP no matter the circumstances. Toriel accidentally killed Frisk but there’s nothing to suggest Papyrus would be as reckless, especially since Papyrus is trying to subdue you non-fatally from the beginning, while Toriel explicitly attempts to push Frisk to their physical limits to verify their ability to survive the rest of the Underground. Papyrus also would have more recent training, since he’s an active member of the Royal Guard training under Undyne, while Toriel has been locked up in The Ruins ever since the events following the death of Chara and AsrielI mean, Papyrus probably has too much control over his magic to accidentally kill someone lel
Theory should be able to get in a few hits considering how pitiful Papyrus’ opening attacks are, and with an AP gap that egregious, that’s all he really needs. I’ll not vote yet but that’s how I see it. If Papyrus starts his soul fuckery though Theory doesn’t really stand much of a chance. He isn’t equipped to deal with that, especially since Flowey has to teach Frisk about their soul and how to manoeuvre it, implying it’s not basic or instinctual knowledge
