| 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 is the first character to demonstrate this ability.
Limits
Santiago has shown to be able to react rapidly: when he was about to be hit by a bus, he was capable of thinking while the bus moved at 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.
His ability also allows him to predict the probability and movement of objects at an accelerated rate: he calculated the movement of his bag in order to catch it.
Examples
-
Santiago is about to get hit by a bus... -
...Then he sees the outcome... -
...Then he jumps out of the way. (Webisode:Destiny, Part 1) -
-
...then zooms around the field of play... -
...examining the play from opponent #7's perspective... -
...and a few other opponent's viewpoints... -
...then positions himself in the perfect location to take a perfect shot... -
...making the winning goal.
(Webisode:Destiny, Part 2)
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 an question and answer session, writers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite said that Santiago's super speed "is just a byproduct" of his ability to see various possibilities.
