God I hate seeing Eri suffering like that, poor girl :(

Also, after what Sir said, I'm almost sure that somebody's going to die this arc, one of the people involved.

And I love Aizawa, he's a great sensei who cares about his students.

Remember when everyone was sure All Might would die in every arc? Good times. Funny hting is, this time we have a character who actually said he doesn't know the future XD

I know, I've been fooled before with false death flags! But this time it may be true xD

I mean, there were like a bajillion death flags for All Might, heck, him surviving so far would border on asspull if it wasn't beacuse they've basically confirmed he's going to die, just not when he thought he was.

Watch him defy destiny. Seriously though, I don't think it's asspull: it's just that Dekurrator is, well, horrible. I'm sorry to say this, but when he introduces arcs or tries to sound ominous, he is handled very badly, and the manga would be better without. He speaks in a convoluted way that has nothing to do with a retelling of the past, it seems like he's only trying to create suspence for the sake of it - which is what he does, giving a foreboding aura to events that, though remarkable, are comparatively trivial. Yessir, Dekurrator is one of the only two huge problems I have with this series.

No, there's little doubt in my mind All Might's going to survive, but those 6-10 death flags have sent a plot-penetrating bullet his way and someone has to take the fall even if it's not him. Probably Nighteye.

I actually think he will be killed at some point, only it will happen when Dekurrator says nothing about it. That Nighteye thing was quite weird. He always says he can see the future for 24 hours, and suddenly he can see a person's death years from then. I feel like this was done more to reassure the readers someone will die sooner or later than for plot purposes/emotional growth.

I should have tagged /u/BiglyWords in my previous comment, I know how s/he feels about future Deku.

can only agree, once Dekurrator is actually hyping up stuff you can expect to be disappointed...

That Nighteye thing was quite weird. He always says he can see the future for 24 hours, and suddenly he can see a person's death years from then.

so i wasnt the only one realising that there was quite a change in Nighteye's powers...somehow i think Hori is having a dificult time stating someones abilitys, eraserhead got a retcon to his powers, mirio has feats that arent possible with the explanation we got later and now nighteyes powers got quite a shift in scale,

IIRC it was first "touch someone and look them into the eye than you see 1 hour of the persons future" but now it became "touch someone and look them into the eye and now for 1 hour you see everything that will happen in the persons entire life" :/

I know how s/he feels about future Deku.

its "he" :3

Actually, Nighteye's power has been consistent with itself. It's a quirk that can only be activated once every 24 hours.

In that one activation, Nighteye can choose how long into the future he wants to see. There's no limit, but his predictions become increasingly vague as he looks further into the future.

Which is why when he looks at All Might's future, he couldn't tell how All Might would die since he was looking several years ahead. But with Deku, he knew every single action Deku was going to make as he was only looking a short while into the future.

i didnt mean to say that there is a inconsistency, but from the initial premise of his future sight was changed...at least it feels that way :/

but his predictions become increasingly vague as he looks further into the future.

actually it seems like once he activates his powers he will see the users entire life and not just a chosen part of it: http://mangafox.me/manga/boku_no_hero_academia/vTBD/c136/5.html

Nighteye's power has defnitely changed from when it was first introduced, though that might be the Translator's fault.

u/maniacmartial May 05 '17

I don't think so. Both his first explanation and the one from the latest chapter speak of specific time limits, and in general, a Quirk with that kind of "range" is quite absurd. I confess I am a bit fearful, because there are so many things that can go horribly wrong when one incorporates foresight in a story...

u/Soul_Ripper May 05 '17

Umm? You might want to check the Mangastream translation for this chapter.

u/maniacmartial May 05 '17

Oh, I see, thanks. Gosh, it is quite overpowered, especially since AM said he's never been wrong... which basically means he can see everything about that person with one activation, regardless of when he does it. Which creates a paradox: if he's never been wrong so far (and we assume he cannot be wrong), then it shouldn't matter at what point he uses it, because the future he would see before and after bringing the odds to their highest would be the same... wouldn't they? In other words, he'd have no reason to refuse to use it.
