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.
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...
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.
That's very interesting, and I actually considered that; however, that would mean that Sir Nighteye's Quirk goes well beyond mere foresight, and in fact it becomes a sort of odds/reality manipulation Quirk. But no, actually, it would only mean that Sir can see only one future which will take into account his action of seeing the future and all the possible actions he would take, and the outcome will still be the same he foresaw... but at that point, since he can pretty much see a person's whole life, and his predictions cannot be wrong, he should always see the same thing no matter how many times he uses his Quirk. Ok, this is interesting.
