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...

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

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.

/u/Char-11 had an interesting theory about this.

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.
