13 Anime Characters Who Can See Into The Future

Sir Nighteye is a pro hero who uses a quirk called Foresight. Foresight allows him to view a person's future as if it were a movie, for up to one hour at a time. While his ability is enormously useful, it also has drawbacks. Because Foresight is purely visual, he can't hear what anyone is saying and has to rely solely on what he sees. He also can't determine exactly when events occur, and has to guess to place them on a timeline. Finally, Foresight can only be activated once a day. 

Sir Nighteye is convinced that his predictions will always come true no matter what, and that there's nothing he can do to affect the outcome. He even worries that the act of prediction cements someone's life in stone. This sometimes leads to his refusing to use the ability when others request it.

Unlike some characters on this lst, who can see the years stretched out ahead of them, Sakunosuke Oda can only see five or six seconds into the future. He's still able to make good use of this ability, which is called Flawless, because it allows him to predict his opponent's movements and avoid them.

Flawless isn't the world's most accurate moniker, though: sometimes the movements are impossible to avoid, as they're already inevitable before he activates his power. Also, because his predictions are based on his own current course of action, they change when he changes his own course. By the time that's sorted, it might be too late to avoid an enemy assault. 

Sailor Mars, also known as Rei Hino, is usually recognized for her pyrokenetic abilities. However, she's also a powerful seer who can predict catastrophes that might befall the Sailor Scouts and the world at large. Her powers normally activate while she meditates, something that she's accustomed to doing as a priestess, or miko.

Despite her abilities, she doesn't always get all of the details right. When she predicts that Usagi will be kidnapped by Jadeite, she's right about the kidnapping - but in fact, the victim will be herself. 

Neon Nostrade is the daughter of a mafioso named Light Nostrade who climbed to the top of the organizartion with the help of her ability, Lovely Ghostwriter. To activate Lovely Ghost Writer, Neon asks the person whose future she wants to predict to write down their name, birth date, and blood type on a blank piece of paper. If the person isn't present, she needs a photograph of them to make it work.

With her conditions met, Neon is able to enter a trancelike state and summon a ghost who uses her right arm to write down the person's future. Most of what she writes is poetic or metaphorical rather than direct, and she leaves it up to the person in question to figure out what it means. She prefers not to actually read the fortunes she writes, believing that it's best if she doesn't get involved. Also, she can't predict her own future, only other people's.

Both Carla and her mother Shagotte have the ability to predict the future. They are the only two Exceeds with this ability. Shagotte uses her power to help boost her image as a powerful queen by telling humans when they'll pass away, but she also uses it to make predictions for the Exceeds.

One particularly dire prediction is that their realm will soon run out of magic power, a vision that leads her to gather a group of unborn children in eggs and send them somewhere else to help them avoid destruction. She even sends her own daughter, Carla, who inherits her mother's psychic powers. 

Known as the Great Toad Sage, Gamamaru is one of the oldest and most respected residents of Mount Myōboku. Part of this is due to his precognitive abilities. He is able to see possibilities in the future, not definites. For example, he tells Jiraiya that he will have a student who will either save the world or destroy it, but can't get more specific than that. As it turns out, both are true.
