Sir Nighteye Quotes
1 quote from My Hero Academia, each with commentary on what it means and why it stuck.
Treated foresight as a fixed report rather than a warning, because certainty about a bad outcome is a way to stop being responsible for preventing it. Being wrong about this is the most useful thing that happens to him.
Stated as an observation, held as a defence. He has watched a prediction come true once, in the worst way available, and has since organised his entire practice around the belief that foresight is a fixed report rather than a warning. Being wrong about this is the most useful thing that happens to him, and the series makes him pay properly for it — he does not get to enjoy the correction for long. What raises the arc above a lesson about optimism is that his position was reasonable. Certainty about a bad outcome is unbearable, and treating it as immovable is a way to stop being responsible for preventing it. The despair was doing work for him. Watching the prediction fail does not simply cheer him up; it retroactively makes him culpable for every hour he spent estranged from a friend he had already written off.
