| Ando has the power to focus or amplify other people's powers, possibly making himself immune in the process. || None. ||
{{plus}}Ando is the only one who remembers the "original" timeline where Hiro met Charlie only shortly before she was killed by Sylar.<br />
{{minus}} Ando is next to Hiro at the [[Museum of Natural History]], and Hiro is only able to slow time, not completely stop it (''[[Godsend]]'').<br />
:{{plus}} Hiro was unable to use his abilities at all before that - managing to slow down time may have been thanks to Ando.<br>
{{minus}} When Hiro attempts to go back in time and save Charlie (''[[Seven Minutes to Midnight]]''), he moves back far further than the day he intended to, despite his proximity to Ando.<br />
:{{plus}} Ando may have amplified Hiro's powers so much that it caused Hiro to overshoot the date.
{{plus}} [[Peter]] begins to lose control of his powers sometime after meeting Ando (and unknowingly absorbing his power) on the night of [[Homecoming (event)|Homecoming]].

⚫
| Ando will be promoted to Executive Vice President of [[Yamagato Industries]]. || None || {{plus}} His best friend is the CEO of Yamagato Industries.<br />
| Ando has the ability to speak the future. ||None. || {{plus}}There are many instances where Ando's offhand utterances later turn out to be true. He says that he and Hiro need to find hope, only to meet a woman named [[Hope]] moments later. (''[[Run!]]'').<br />
⚫
{{minus}} His interest in heroes and [[Kimiko]] may lead him to work at the Yamagato Fellowship instead.<br />
{{minus}}This observation may simply be a device the writers have used to play up the need for Ando's character since Hiro learned English, or, more likely, to play up Hiro's quest for destiny. <br />
⚫
:{{plus}} There is no reason he cannot be Vice President of both Yamagato Industries and Yamagato Fellowship.<br />
{{minus}}Sylar had the opportunity to take Ando's brain, but refused. He also mentions to Ando that he has no use for his brain. (''[[How to Stop an Exploding Man]]'')<br />
:{{plus}}Sylar has been shown as unable to tell whether or not someone has powers without outside information: he killed Jackie in the style he reserves for evolved humans, despite her being the wrong target, and only realized his mistake afterward.<br />
:{{plus}} He also didn't attempt to kill Hiro in ''Seven Minutes To Midnight'', he only killed Charlie.<br />
:{{plus}} When Sylar telekinetically pinned Ando in ''[[How to Stop an Exploding Man]]'', Sylar already had [[Isaac]]'s [[Precognition|precognitive]] [[ability]] so wouldn't need to gain that ability from Ando.

| [[Ando]] does not actually have power augmentation.

⚫
| Ando will be promoted to Executive Vice President of [[Yamagato Industries]]. || None. || {{plus}}Ando developed a relationship with Executive Vice President [[Kimiko Nakamura]]. (''[[Heroism is Found in the Heart, Part 2]]''). Now that she is CEO of Yamagato Industries, she may offer him a promotion. <br />
:{{plus}} Ando could be manipulating whatever is manipulated by all people with abilities.<br />

{{plus}} When Ando first manifests his artificial ability, it begins as random sparks of red energy jumping off of his hands.<br />
{{note}} The reason it augmented [[Matt]]'s ability may be because when Matt grabbed Ando, the energy increased Matt's energy output, which in turn increased the potency of his ability.<br />
{{plus}} This could also be true for [[Daphne]] when she grabbed Ando, the energy jumped off of him and into her.<br />
{{note}} If [[Future Ando]] has the same power as present Ando, then power manipulation, in the form it has been shown via the graphic novels and the actual show, may not be able to be done remotely.<br />
{{note}} Ando simply couldn't handle his new ability at first. Besides, after injecting himself he wasn't shown touching (or being touched by) other evolved humans without affecting their abilities.<br />

|-
| Ando is [[Angela]] and [[Kaito]]'s son. || Kaito and Angela have had an affair in the past. || {{plus}} Kaito would have to give up the baby so [[Ishi Nakamura|his wife]] would not be suspicious.<br />

:{{note}} He could be from a single parent family, living only with his mother.<br />
:{{plus}} If it were Hiro, I highly doubt that his wife would keep him if he wasn't hers.
{{minus}} It's highly unlikely Kaito would have let Ando pursue a relationship with his daughter if Ando was also his child.
{{minus}} He could have had a bad relationship with his father, Hiro only managed to have a good relationship with his father later in life.<br />
{{note}} [[Charles Deveaux]] used to say Peter was like a son to him. That simply meant Charles loved Peter.<br />
|-

| Ando will marry Kimiko. || None || {{plus}} Kimiko was impressed with him, for standing up to her ex boyfriend.<br />
| Ando will discover the power his future incarnation uses to murder [[future Hiro]] in the current season, but use it for the power of good. ||None. ||
{{plus}} Before he died, Kaito was also impressed.<br />
:{{plus}} Hiro is Ando's best friend, and Ando had been like a brother to him.<br />
:{{plus}} Ando has not had a romantic relationship despite a crush on Niki.<br />
:{{plus}} Kimiko and Ando are dating thanks to Hiro.<br />
:{{plus}} Ando has already proposed and she said yes.<br />
|-
|-
| Ando will become evil. || None || {{plus}} Ando is with Kimiko now, so he may abandon his "heroic" destiny, something which would certainly frustrate Hiro. This may lead to the end of their friendship.<br />
| Future Ando has a power more powerfull than Hiro. || In season 3, Future Hiro was shown killed by Future Ando by his power. ||{{Plus}}Ando probably has a power of his own. Lots of the characters that have powers learned them at different ages. So Ando may have learned his.
:{{minus}} Hiro was happy to see that Ando was with his sister. He even expressed the idea of Ando and Kimiko getting married.<br />
:{{plus}} Hiro once traveled to the future and saw himself get killed by [[Ando]]. Now that Hiro changed future events again by making Ando and [[Kimiko]] date, chances are that [[Ando Masahashi (exposed future)|Future Ando]] may return differently with a new motive to kill Hiro for some new reason.<br />
::{{minus}} Future Ando killed Hiro because he worked for Pinehearst, he was there to take the formula, and he only attacked Hiro when he had no other choice left.<br />
{{note}} Hiro is known for changing future events. This change he did for Ando and Kimiko can change their relationship with Hiro. We don't know for sure what else changed.<br />
:{{minus}} Nothing else seems to have change, there were no significant changes other than Ando and Kimiko's relationship.<br />
:{{note}} That's because we need more episodes to see if this theory is true.<br />
::{{note}} Notable changes to the timeline are shown immediately, "Heroes" has always done that, no reason to change it now.<br />
|-
|-
| [[Ando]] will help [[Hiro]] find [[Charlie]]. || None || {{plus}} Ando could call [[Claire]] or [[Peter]] to ask about Hiro and come to the carnival. This way he could supercharge Hiro and they could return to when Charlie was taken by [[Arnold]].<br />
| Future Ando is an illusion created by an evolved human yet to be introduced, or a person such as Sylar or Peter mimicking these abilities, intended to trick Hiro. || None. || {{plus}}[[Connie Logan]] in the graphic novels has the ability to change people's appearances. She, or someone with similar abilities, may have altered an evolved human who can shoot red bolts to look like Ando.
:{{minus}} Hiro can now time travel on his own.<br />
{{plus}} Hiro could teleport to a pay phone and call Ando and ask for help.<br />
{{plus}} Kimiko will want Ando to help Hiro.<br />
|-
|-
| [[Ando]] will lose [[Kimiko]] due to keeping secrets. || None || {{plus}} Kimiko was shocked to discover [[Hiro]]'s power.<br />
| Mohinder will mass produce his power-giving serum, which is the source of Ando's future power. ||None. || {{plus}} Mohinder believes that people like Sylar would be less dangerous if everyone had a power to defend themselves.
:{{minus}} Shock doesn't necessarily leads to a break-up. He hasn't had his ability for such a long time, and he wasn't at Japan when he got it, so he wouldn't have been able to tell her that.<br />
{{plus}} Kimiko could get angry because Ando never revealed his power or told her about Hiro's illness.<br />
:{{minus}} If anything, Kimiko will be angry because she wasn't told who killed her father and why. And the fact the killer was also killed later could ease that.<br />
:{{minus}} Ando tried to tell Kimiko about his and Hiro's powers, but she didn't believe him.<br />
{{plus}} Finding out her little brother buried the [[Adam|killer]] alive in the same cemetery as her [[Kaito|father]] and Ando didn't tell, might cause them to break up.<br />
:{{minus}} She should be angry at Hiro then, because it's rather Nakamuras' business.<br />
|-
|-
| [[Ando]] will help another character to defeat [[Samuel]]. || None || {{plus}} Ando's supercharging ability could help a powerful evolved human compete with Samuel's power (after he gathers enough evolved humans at the carnival).<br />
| Future Ando is a hero and [[future Hiro]] is evil.||None. || {{Plus}} Ando looked sad that he had to take Hiro out.
|-
|-
| Hiro didn't kill Ando, using his power to only pretend to kill him.||None.||{{plus}} Hiro could have stop the time and prepare some kind of "special effect" on Ando, that it looks like he is killing him.
| [[Ando]] will help [[Hiro]] to defeat [[Samuel]]. || None || {{plus}} Hiro mentioned saving Watson. This could be a reference to the audience about Ando, who is Hiro's sidekick.<br />
{{plus}} Hiro also said "beam me up Scotty", which could be a reference to Ando supercharging Hiro's ability.<br />
{{minus}} Daphne was there, meaning anything Hiro would have done with time stopped would have been noticed by her.

:{{plus}} But Daphne clearly didn't want Ando to die, as we can see from her immediate reaction and her later conversation with Linderman / Maury Parkman. Maybe Hiro convinced her to play along.
:{{note}}Before Hiro stabbed Ando, Daphne is standing on Knox's left side, but after Hiro stabs Ando, She's on the right. <br />
:{{note}}Daphne told "Linderman" that "The Japanese guy" is bored, meaning, he didn't show any sympathy when Ando died. Possibly because he didn't really die. <br />
{{plus}} Hiro so far has demonstrated the ability to bend space locally (teleporting Adam in and out of the coffin), it is likely that Hiro can also bend time locally (he did so in Season 1 when her reversed time to send a bullet back into its gun) So Hiro could reverse time on Ando so that he wasn't stabbed.
|-
|-
| [[Ando]] is the person that [[Samuel]] is after. || None || {{plus}} Ando's ability, if used on Samuel, would make Samuel even more powerful that he already is. Since Samuel is already more powerful due to the evolved humans that are in close proximity to him, using Ando's ability would make him unstoppable.<br />
| Hiro really killed Ando but is planning to go back in time and save him later (hoping, that he then knows enough to save the world without Daphne's and Knox' help).|| None. || {{minus}} Hiro never successfully travelled back in time to save someones life (except for Future Hiro saving Claire).
:{{minus}} Samuel can control earth. This doesn't make him unstoppable, only very dangerous.<br />
:{{plus}} Isn't that a pretty big exception?
::{{plus}} Samuel can multiply his power exponentially with several evolved humans around him, and Ando can multiply his ability a thousand times more. If he were to reach that level of power, he would be, for all intents and purposes, unstoppable.<br />
{{minus}} Future Hiro didn't save Claire himself, he just warned Peter and had him save her.
|-
|-
| [[Ando]] will help [[Peter]] absorb more than one ability. || None || {{plus}} The formula reverted Peter's original ability to its simplest form, if Ando supercharges his new ability, theoretically it could become stronger than [[empathic mimicry]].<br />
| Hiro killed Ando aware of some unrevealed present-day betrayal (potentially, Ando working for [[The Company]]).|| None. || {{plus}} Hiro had little reason to kill Ando outside of his [[Exposed future|future betrayal]].
|-<!--Theories about Ando's ability should go at Theory:Ability supercharging-->
{{minus}} Hiro may not have called him a "friend" as he killed him if this were the case.
|-
| Hiro will revive Ando with [[Adam Monroe]]'s blood. Upon coming back to life, Ando will become upset that Hiro killed him in the first place, even though he was revived, and this is what will cause the rift between them as seen in the [[Villains future]]. || None. || {{plus}} It is unlikely Ando will be left for dead with so many unanswered questions, such as the events seen in the Villains future. <br />
{{plus}} We have definitely not seen the last of Adam Monroe. <br /> {{plus}} This scenario seems to be the most likely cause of the alienation of Hiro and Ando, who are usually inseparable. <br />
{{minus}} It is unlikely Hiro would have been planning this as he does not know where Adam is and would not have been sure he would be able to get Adams blood<br />
:{{plus}} He might not have been planning it. But it doesn't mean that he wouldn't think of it afterwards. He could also have not thought of the possibility of not being to obtain Adam's blood in the first place, and that recklessness would lead to Ando separating from Hiro.
