| Accelerated probability | |
|---|---|
 Santiago uses his ability during a soccer match. | |
| Held by: | Santiago |
| Ability to: | Predict the outcome of events |
| Examples of accelerated probability | |
Accelerated probability is the ability to see what choice one should make when confronted with a situation, to predict the outcomes of certain situations, and then to accelerate oneself along that path of causality immediately.
Characters
- Santiago possesses this ability.
Limits
Santiago
Santiago has shown to be able to react rapidly to situations. For example, when he was about to be hit by a bus, he was capable of thinking while the bus moved in slow motion. His body also appeared to be in slow motion as he remained in the same position when the bus was going to hit him, even though he remained aware of everything. However, he has shown that he can use his ability to move at greater speeds, as he was capable of suddenly fleeing from the bus.
Santiago's ability also allows him to predict the probability and movement of objects at an accelerated rate. For instance, he could see the path his bag would take while it was in mid-air and use that knowledge to catch it.
Selected Examples
-
Santiago is about to get hit by a bus... -
...but he sees the outcome... -
...and jumps out of the way.
(Destiny, Part 1) -
Santiago zooms around the field of play... -
...examining the play from opponent #7's perspective... -
...and a few other opponent's viewpoints.
(Destiny, Part 2) -
Santiago searches for a way out of a secure warehouse. -
Notes
- In a deleted scene from Four Months Later..., Kaito Nakamura told Ando that he possesses this ability, or an ability similar to this.
- Future Gabriel described his ability as the ability to "understand the outcome of events" and "predict action and reaction". His ability should not be confused with Santiago's ability to predict probabilities.
- When Santiago first exhibits his ability on the soccer field the tracks he makes somewhat resemble the logo of Sprint, the company who sponsored the Create Your Hero promotion.
- In a question and answer session, writers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite said that Santiago's speed "is just a byproduct" of his ability to see various possibilities.
- Edward, Santiago's father, seems to be able to see paths ahead of him, much like his son. He uses this ability to sneak up on the serious looking woman. (Destiny, Part 4)
