This is gonna be a short one simply because the evidence regarding the stats in question is not very In depth. The aim of this thread is quite simple, I wanted to bring to attention the reasons Undertale does not qualify for Immeasurable speed.
Why it’s more logical to assume that this is not speed feat.

“But Toby Fox helped on the Japanese transitions”

Fourth Point Canonicity
The book “legends of localization” used is considered non-canon by the author themselves. And within this book we get more context on the pun of “goner” the pun goner within the original context means “to go missing”. This draws narrative parallel to the goners of the underground. Where they talk about not existing within the world while it still exists without you.
This interpretation maintains what the original phasing said and is more in line with what literally happened within the game. Asriel absorbs the souls of the entire underground thus making them all “not exist” in the world anymore.
And this is the only logical conclusion one can reach with what happened at the end of the game. Asriel used all the souls + the 6 other humans to break the barrier between the underground and human place.
True RESETS
In this Portion of the story it’s explained that the player now has the same power, or “determination” as Chara and Asriel. Which gives them the ability to reset the world, sending everything back in time to redo events. This is what Chara did after erasing everything and what Asreil did after giving up the right. Further proven by the fact that everything was returned back to normal after Asriel's boss fight.
Additional issues
Most the cast can tag Frisk which is clearly a issue of their massively hypersonic and she’s quite literally beyond infinitely faster then everyone else.
Asgore was able to be one tapped by Flowey while completely battle ready, the same Asgore that can fight fight with Frisk.
The characters who get affected
Side note any characters who got history EE off “erasing timelines” needs to be erased as well.
- The main source of evidence used in this is Asreil’s hyper goner canon, that was used to “purge this timeline” the main issue with this is that an attack that nukes a timeline is not considered immeasurable speed especially without any context in Undertales case
- “Frisk out ran the blast from the attack by running through time” no she didn’t ignore the fact this has never been stated anywhere in the history of the franchise.
Why it’s more logical to assume that this is not speed feat.
- Lightning speed attacks can tag the main character, to a point they needed a precognitive warning to dodge the attack. Which should also be impossible if they had immeasurable speed.
- Chara in the genocide route pulled off a similar if not greater feat. Where they destroyed “the world” yet we still hear wind whistling in the background and her mentioning that it doesn’t matter when in the timeline she will always appear.
Second Point translations
- Why are the Japanese translations being used for an American game?
- Within the context of what was being stated the original statement was to purge the timeline. Which means to clean or get rid of. Within the context of the situation the game presents “Asriel” absorbing the SOULs of all the monsters in the underworld it’s more than likely that the timeline still exists.
- And after the battle is done the player is sent back to the completely intact underground
“But Toby Fox helped on the Japanese transitions”
- While yes he did have a helping hand in the translations for the Japanese dubbing, but going based on what he’s stated it’s clear the extent of his work was helping dub certain jokes and puns that don’t translate well into Japanese. For example 「グラマー」(glamour) has a slightly different meaning from the English word "glamour". In English, it means "luxury" or "glossy", but in Japanese, 「グラマー」 means something like "big boobs and big buttocks".
That’s a direct quote from Toby Fox himself.
- This is further supported by the fact that Toby Fox hired a team of translators to help him. 8-5 and a famous Japanese localization company were the ones who made these translations. It’s no different from when Viz translates a manga or something similar.
Third Point: Sources
- The article that was linked as proof was from a 2021 interview talking about Toby Foxes thoughts on the Japanese release of his new IP “Deltarune” not Undertale. Which is a completely different unrelated/non canon story to Undertale. The website even links Toby’s team in the credits.
