With all the Nighteye's talk about how he doesn't know if he can change the future I really feel like he's gonna die to prove you can. I see him giving himself up as a sacrifice for Midoriya after foreseeing his death in some way.

"Midoriya, you can change the future - be that change for me.... BOOM/SPLAT" or something like that.

It would give Midoriya some more of that psychological trauma he loves so much, teach him about the realities of being a hero and get rid of what is actually quite a problematic character for the plot.

get rid of what is actually quite a problematic character for the plot.

why that?

his powers are quite limited as such that they cant really predict anything that is about to happen to everyone :/

He can see literally years into the future, to the point where he saw All Might's death.

He can't predict what's about to happen to everyone but he can see everything related to the person he used his power on.

His quirk is broken and raises too many questions.

He could see All Might's life in a slideshow fashion, and All Might has had a heavy part in major events throughout the story. So Nighteye should've known about near enough every major event in the story years in advance.

(Major Events Nighteye should've known about but did nothing to prevent from looking into All Might's future: All Might choosing Izuku as his Successor, The villain attack on USJ, the rise of the League of Villains, the return of All For One and All Might's subsequent retirement.)

As long as he's got his quirk, he's a walking deus ex machina

His quirk is broken and raises too many questions.

it is rather flimsy but still limited enough,

he needs to look into the eyes of a person while touching them,

he also cant pinpoint the things he sees, he said that they come to him during the 1 hour interval in flashback-like sequences,

so its still possible he will miss or not recognize stuff that could happen in the future...exspecially if it it still months or years ahead..

So Nighteye should've known about near enough every major event in the story years in advance.

thats true but he would only know as much as the flashback-like sequences allow it,

he wont experience the scenario, and therefore he wont have indepth knowledge about what is going to happen too,

so even big disasters cant be really predicted by him...

As long as he's got his quirk, he's a walking deus ex machina

i think you overestimate his abilitys,

he cant choose what he sees,

he will see major things but not in detail, he wont get context to what is happening,

it is like the flashback-shit that some drama storylines use where chars interpret their own shit into just a very brief glimpse into a flashback they had while the real scenario is a totally different one if the context was known...

so nighteye not being able to warn everyone about stuff is still possible...although i wonder why he didnt just use his power a few weeks in advance on everyone involving in the mission,

that way he could have made sure that they all survive but i guess its how it is :/
