Anime & Manga In Dragon Ball, Urunai Baba states that Son Goku is fated to someday save the world after the Dragon Ball gang wins her tournament. Then comes the King Piccolo arc, where the last one left to fight the Demon King is none other than Goku. ![]() ![]() ![]() Everyone's a bit skeptical, until Bulma recalls Baba's words.. Berserk: When the Eclipse happens, Void said that the Band of the Hawk and the demons were all gathered to that cozy place called hell, in order to make Griffith a new demon lord and to make his followers sacrifices for the rite, because causality said so. And Guts, being one of the few survivors of this event, continues to deny that notion to this day.

According to the book read by Hap to Stoner in Eureka Seven movie, Eureka is destined to have a male partner and together they will "change" the world. Apparently this comes to pass for both TV and movie version. The book never directly states Eureka's name, just referring to her as "the Maiden with wings", thus it's only valid to the TV series world because in the movie, Eureka never grows any wings. Interestingly, the movie ending does have references to the golden Bough that Holland and Dewey read in the TV series about the wife of the sacred king (Renton), the goddess of Earth (Eureka), went through death and rebirth. Honoka and Nagisa of Futari wa Pretty Cure are fated to become Magical Girls, according to their mascots. Glass Fleet characters seem to rely far too much on Destiny, with a prophecy being one of the central aspects to the series. However, characters don't always interpret the words correctly.. Boingo's Stand Thoth, of Jojos Bizarre Adventure, takes the form of a comic book, and tells the immediate future, and it will happen, no matter what, as proven by what becomes of Oingo and Hol Horse. The interesting bit is that it only shows the image of the future but not the context. You have a degree of control by manipulating the context but the visual end result is 1. This is best demonstrated when they get a page of Jotaro dying in an explosion and go off to set up the event, however Boingo panics when he's found out and disguises himself as Jotaro and is caught in the explosion. So visually the prediction came true, however Oingo states that if he'd just dropped his disguise, the real Jotaro would have instead gotten caught since it would be the only plausible outcome remaining. The Big Bad of part 6, Enrico Pucci, decides that heaven is a world where everybody knows their own destiny.. In Hero Tales, Main character: Taitou is fated by the Hagun to face Keirou, the Big Bad, and his companions are fated to have to choose between allying themselves between the two by the constellation that watches over the mark (for the most part). Taitou just wants to face Keirou out of revenge instead. Himemiya Chikane and Kurusegawa Himeko in Kannazuki no Miko are the reincarnations of priestesses who fought Orochi and are destined to do so again. Fuu, Umi, and Hikaru of Magic Knight Rayearth must fulfill an ancient prophecy — but what they think they have to do and what they actually must do are two very, very different things. Borderline in Neon Genesis Evangelion. The Secret Dead Sea Scrolls possessed by the mysterious Seele organization supposedly predict the arrival of attacking Angels, although these predictions seem useless for all practical purposes. Seele is very prone to panicking when things don't seem to go exactly as the scrolls describe, which is just about every single time something a major event in the series occurs. In Rebuild of Evangelion 1. You Are (Not) Alone, Misato tells Shinji that piloting Eva is "simply his destiny". While the secret of EVA- 0. Shinji can be it's pilot. A prophecy twist example: "Thus the earth shall turn to ash".. Ash Ketchum in Pokémon 2. This is more a case of Because 4. Kids Says So, since in the original (Japanese) version of the anime Ash is named Satoshi, whose name has nothing to do with the prophecy (which just refers to an "exceptional Trainer"). The prophecy is actually pretty bleak, prompting Satoshi to say "Screw Destiny!". Rah. Xephon: The prophecy is only revealed in the antepenultimate episode, and its origin is far from supernatural. The protagonist also goes out of his way to state that he's doing what he's doing because he wants to, not because destiny says he must. The Ultimate Big Bad of Rave Master is especially tied down by this one, and in a way that ties into Cosmic Plaything, none the less. Alternate Character Interpretation of this makes him a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds rather than Axe Crazy. Used extensively in Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon is fated to find the Moon Princess and then be the Moon Princess once she discovers her true identity, the Inner Senshi are fated to protect the Moon Princess, the Outer Senshi (minus Saturn) are fated to protect the Moon Kingdom (and by extension Earth) from outside threats, and Sailor Saturn is destined to bring her Silence Glaive down on worlds whose time has run out. In the Di. C English version of the anime, this can be extended to why Mamoru and Usagi are together since they hate each other early on. In the Japanese version of the anime they bicker almost every time they meet, but their bickering gets less antagonistic and more banter- like in nature; it arguably approaches Slap- Slap- Kiss prior to the reveal. In the episode where Tuxedo Mask's identity is revealed, Usagi is clearly disturbed when the conversation she starts with Mamoru doesn't follow that pattern; that along with the shoulder wound makes her realize something's wrong. They were on even better terms in the manga, because they were friendly in their civilian selves and had already started to like one another in their secret identities. Defied in the live- action series, when Mars decides to actively work against what was decided by their past lives. Fuma Monou in X1. HOLi. C: "There is no coincidence in the world. What is there is 'hitsuzen'." For those who don't speak Japanese "hitsuzen" refers to "inevitable fate" or "what is determined". However, it is important to note that hitsuzen is not as written in stone as the Western concept of destiny is, and can be altered to some extent. What is determined" is a better translation than "inevitability", really. The entire Yu- Gi- Oh! Screw Destiny. Depending on which series you're watching and even which season, the heroes may be trying to fulfill their destinies, or trying to change them. Two characters particularly offensive are Yami Yugi in the original Yu- Gi- Oh! Sartorius in Yu- Gi- Oh! GX. Watch the English dub of the second season and keep track of how many times Yami mentions "I will defeat Marik, it is my destiny". Sartorius' deck is based on Tarot cards with supposedly random effects, but he claims Destiny Says So, and thus their effects are already predetermined and he knows exactly how they'll turn out. Lampshaded at one point by Seto "Screw Destiny" Kaiba. Kaiba: (to Yami Yugi) If I had a dime for every time you talked about destiny, I'd be even richer. Played with quite a bit in Princess Tutu, although in this case it's more "Because Drosselmeyer Says So". All of the main characters have a particular destiny laid out for them, and most of them gladly accept their roles.. Autor actually invokes this trope at one point, but he's perfectly content to submit to destiny, even if it means losing his heart or a horrible death. Inspector Ninzaburou Shiratori from Detective Conan is revealed to be a believer of destiny, specially when it comes to relationships.

He makes references to destiny to other two women who he believes to be said girl as well. Karin from UQ Holder! Causality literally prevents anything (currently seen) from harming her. It's like a reverse Gae Bolg. Even if a knife is jammed into her chestshe remains unharmed. Comicbooks In Sandman, even Destiny the character has no free will. He calls a certain fateful meeting of the Endless because his Book told him he was going to. Although, Delirium escapes this trope by being the incarnation of insanity.
