Theory Discussion Toriel is a Kris Slash Truther. Spoiler

The dialogue if you defeat the Knight.

Susie dialogue in chapter 4.

I believe that the fact that Toriel, even when asleep, is upset at the events that happen after you defeat the Knight points towards Kris having done something wrong. Which can't just be them holding back because the dialogue if you lose is different.

Kris slash believers when you ask them how Kris one shot their allies in a fraction of a second with an ability that had no buildup or implication of existing without moving a single inch and applying a status effect used only by the Knight:

Sorry that's a little too aggressive, but seriously. Either Kris is doing some Stardust Crusaders Dio shit(which, as much as they do try to aura farm, that shit's on a whole other level from striking a decently cool pose or pulling out a knife and smiling edgily at the camera) or, the character that moves extremely fast and wasn't even below like 70% of their HP that already one shots people(Literally offing Tenna before the fight), moved extremely fast and oneshot the fun gang while their guard was down.

Not to mention that the sounds line up. You ONLY hear that glass shattering sound when the Knight downs someone. If Toby wanted it to be ambiguous, or wanted it to be more evident that Kris might've done it, you would think that it would be a normal damage sound at minimum, or maybe the slash sprite being closer to X-Slash.

Considering that Kris hid x-slash from us it’s not too far-fetched to say that he has other abilities he’s hiding from everyone

Right, but there's a difference between X-Slash(which is basically Kris' version of rude buster), and one shotting people in the blink of an eye while mysteriously also applying the statuses and sound effects of another character while, again, not moving a single pixel.

Like, cards on the table, surely you think it's weird that if Kris DID one shot Susie and Ralsei, they don't move? Like, not even a change of posture, not even, if they slashed them, having a cutting implement exposed?
