| Ando has the power to [[Ability augmentation|focus or amplify other people's powers]], possibly making himself immune in the process. || None. || {{plus}} Ando does not seem to remember Charlie recognizing Hiro. He may have been immune to the past being changed.<br /> |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
:{{minus}} In what we saw of Hiro and Charlie meeting in October, Charlie mentions that she got a Japanese phrase book for her birthday, but seems to not recognize Hiro. Considering that Hiro gives Charlie a Japanese phrase book in the past, Charlie may have been pretending to not recognize Hiro, to avoid affecting his trip to the past.<br /> |
|||
:{{plus}} Charlie seems to not believe that Hiro can actually manipulate time and space.<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.<br /> |
|||
{{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]].<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} In the [[exposed future]], [[Ando Masahashi (exposed future)|he]] manifests a [[Future Ando's ability|different ability]].<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}} 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 /> |
|||
{{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.<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} In the exposed future, he manifests a [[Future Ando's ability|different ability]].<br /> |
|||

||
| [[Ando]] does not actually have power augmentation. His ability falls more along the lines of energy manipulation, which includes power manipulation as an unintentional byproduct. || The first manifestation of Ando's ability did not result from him touching Matt or Daphne. || {{plus}} Ando's red lightning also affects people without 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 /> |
|||
:{{plus}} Ando could be manipulating whatever is manipulated by all people with abilities.<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} It's highly unlikely Kaito would have let Ando pursue a relationship with his daughter if Ando was also his child.<br /> |
|||
{{ |
::{{note}} A la the Star Wars prequels' midichlorian debacle.<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 /> |
|||
| Ando will discover the [[Ando's ability|power]] his future incarnation uses to murder [[future Hiro]] in the current season, but use it for the power of good. || None. || {{plus}} Ando isn't a villain.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} This could also be true for [[Daphne]] when she grabbed Ando, the energy jumped off of him and into her.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} We don't know if he was using it for evil in the future; he could've just made Hiro lose consciousness or maybe Hiro went evil sometime between now and then.<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 an orphan. || None || {{plus}} He said [[Kaito]] was like a father to him.<br /> |
|||
| [[Future Ando]] is more powerful 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.<br /> |
|||
:{{note}} He could be from a single parent family, living only with his mother.<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} Unless there was more to Ando's power than what we were shown, then Hiro's is definitely more powerful; he can stop time to do whatever he wants.<br /> |
|||
{{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 /> |
|||
| 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.<br /> |
|||
{{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 /> |
|||
| 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.<br /> |
|||
:{{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 /> |
||
:{{minus}} Hiro can now time travel on his own.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} Although it isn't certain about the nature of [[Pinehearst Company]], in the future Ando works for them, and so far they have been the good guys (in the [[Exposed future|future]], that is), by taking down terrorists.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} |
{{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 /> |
|||
:{{note}} Daredevil, Spiderman, etc there are a lot...<br /> |
|||
:{{note}} ''In Heroes''. Almost every good character has been shown wearing red: Nathan's tie, Claire's cheerleader's uniform (in Volume One), Peter's T-shirt under his white jacket and so on. Unlike them, Sylar, Linderman, Adam and Arthur never wore red clothes.<br /> |
|||
::{{minus}} Nathan doesn't look like he's in the good guy territory anymore.<br /> |
|||
:{{note}} Nathan hasn't worn red recently...<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} If Hiro were evil, he could have easily killed Ando first. The fact that he didn't freeze time and slice Ando in half gives reason to believe that Hiro is still a good guy.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} Hiro may not of got his powers back |
|||
|- |
|- |
||
|[[Ando]] |
| [[Ando]] will lose [[Kimiko]] due to keeping secrets. || None || {{plus}} Kimiko was shocked to discover [[Hiro]]'s power.<br /> |
||
{{minus}} |
:{{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 /> |
|||
| [[Ando]]'s ability was natural, not artificial. || None. || {{plus}} In the [[Exposed future|future]] Pinehearst agents seem to be set on the goal of bringing down people with artificial abilities, or a similar goal. If this is true then they wouldn't employ someone with said artificial abilities.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} The opposite appears true - Pinehearst steals the formula to give others artificial abilities.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} The formula is in both Hiro and Ando's hands; if his ability was synthetic they wouldn't need to use the formula to give Ando his ability again.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} They also wouldn't need it to give Ando his ability if he had it naturally. Either way, Ando already has an ability, and they want the formula for something.<br /> |

| [[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 /> |
|||
{{plus}} Hopefully, that unfortunate conclusion can be stopped by an aged version of Hiro, who lived to the present day, which would explain why two of the writers were fired for writing messy time-travel stories.<br /> |

|- |

| [[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 /> |

:{{minus}} |
:{{minus}} Samuel can control earth. This doesn't make him unstoppable, only very dangerous.<br /> |

::{{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 /> |
