Because Destiny Says So	comment	An invoked form of You Can't Fight Fate, Because Destiny Says So is when a character accepts a prophecy or similar foreknowledge of future events as inevitable, and does everything in their power to realize said future events because of it. In such cases, The Hero will often continue the Training from Hell they are currently terrible at because they were named The Chosen One, Big Bads will insist on destroying the world despite the harm it will bring to their loved ones because it is their karmic destiny, and religious orders will refuse to hand over badly needed MacGuffins in times of crisis because prophecy says it is not yet time. Because Destiny Says So is also a common excuse for why The Chosen One is The Only One allowed to save the world, or what have you. Compare with You Can't Fight Fate, Only the Worthy May Pass and Prophecies Are Always Right. Contrast with Screw Destiny.

Destiny operates because gods and powerful mages have specific agendas and are manipulating events accordingly. Furthermore, some characters (notably Elspeth) refuse to cooperate and try to Screw Destiny but these individuals are usually brought back on the rails eventually.

Vin, the central hero of the story, believes that Alendi, who was the original, intended Hero of Ages, failed in his mission, because he was murdered and his killer took his place, stealing the power of the Well and becoming the Lord Ruler. She studies the prophecies and realizes that she is destined to be the next one to become the Hero of Ages, and sets out to right the failures of the previous Hero. Wrong! No one stopped to wonder if their written prophecies were accurate, and no one considered that there was something out there that changed the prophecies to get what it wanted...

Because Destiny Says So / int_2d644371	comment	Tales Series: Tales of Destiny: The title is misleading: One of the legendary Swordians tells the main character he's the Chosen One, but later on it's revealed that the Swordian was just telling him that so he'd play Hero. Tales of the Abyss has the existence of the Score, a telling of fate lasting thousands of years, and whether or not the heroes decide to fight it or go along with it. It deconstructs the trope because it shows what the world would be like if everyone had a constant and regular link to "Destiny". They consult it for everything, from who they marry to what they eat for dinner. This leads to it becoming a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy because the people blindly act according to what the Score has told them to do. A single organization, the Order of Lorelei, has a monopoly on reading the Score, and as a result it is the most powerful organization in the world. One of the leaders, Grand Maestro Mohs, even plans on staring a war between the two big superpowers solely because the Score says it will happen.

Because Destiny Says So / int_2dfb1427	comment	Used in an interesting fashion in the Baldur's Gate series-the prophecies of Alaundo, which you discover towards the end of the first game, seem to lay out a specific path for the protagonist and his/her siblings, which indeed appears to be true throughout the first and second games-and in Throne of Bhaal, even the bad guys are still operating from the prophecies and what they mean. The twist comes late in Throne of Bhaal, when you find out that the prophecies aren't a foretelling of what you will do-they're warning of what will happen if you fail, and that the Big Bad is using the prophecies to manipulate everyone, and has no intention of following them. In a couple of dialogues, among the possible answers, the main character could ironically lampshade this trope by stating how (s)he has to pass through all his/her challenges just because apparently destiny says so.

A fake prophecy planted by Yuu with time-travel; in the original timeline, Illina and Fallafal were the first Ladybug and Black Cat, but were forced to retire after their identities were exposed, and they picked Naota and Fletcher — but knowing who picked the new heroes allowed Riodinidae to identify them easily, figure out how they were picking further Miraculous holders, and plant Carmen in the team as The Mole. So Yuu decides to remove the element of human decision-making from Naota and Fletcher's selection, leaving Riodinidae with no clues this time around.

Because Destiny Says So / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural: From the beginning, a very evil (albeit vague) destiny was hinted at for Sam Winchester. By the fourth season, it was insinuated that Dean also had some sort of destiny: "The righteous man who begins it is the only one who can finish it". "It" being the Apocalypse, which Dean inadvertently started when he tortured souls while in Hell. By the beginning of the fifth season after Sam unknowingly releases Lucifer from Hell, the brother's shared destiny is revealed: they were born to finish the battle between the Archangel Michael and his brother Lucifer, started in Heaven eons ago, when Michael banished Lucifer to Hell. Sam is Lucifer's vessel, and Dean is Michael's. As the Archangel Gabriel says in one episode: "As it was in Heaven, so shall it be below."

Yami Yugi spends most of Battle City being told he's destined to find his memories if he wins the tournament, which also means defeating Arc Villain Marik, and Ishizu lives by this trope until Kaiba defeats her in a duel she was fated to win. In GX 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.

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 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone, Misato tells Shinji that piloting Eva is "simply his destiny". The secret of EVA-01 is actually that it has been constructed so only Shinji can be its pilot.

Technically, all of the books (or at least Voldemort's motivations) were about that, but until OOTP, neither Harry nor the reader knew it. Oddly enough, in the sixth book Dumbledore outright told Harry that he was under no obligation to do anything the prophecy said, and hinted that some of the genuine magical prophecies from the fifth book had NOT come true. And the only reason it matters is because Voldemort firmly believes in this prophecy. Then when Dumbledore asks what would Harry choose if he didn't know of this prophecy, considering all the evils Voldemort has done, Harry admits he wants to fight.

Because Destiny Says So / int_5908ee91	comment	Skyrim: It's eventually revealed that this is the reason for all of the major events of the first four games. They are part of an ancient prophecy concerning Alduin, the World-Eater, and only when all of the events of the prophecy have come to pass will the last portion - the part about the Last Dragonborn - take place. It is repeatedly stated that Alduin is destined to destroy the world so that it can be reborn, and so there are some (like the Greybeards) who don't automatically accept that stopping Alduin is a good thing. Paarthurnax also argues this, believing that Alduin is doing what he was created to do. The problem is that, while his divine mandate is to cause the destruction of the world, Alduin seems to want to rule it even more. Given that Alduin is an indispensable mechanism integral to the cycle of creation, it's almost guaranteed his death won't stick and he'll just come back at the appointed time. The ending of Skyrim even suggests that this is the reason the Last Dragonborn couldn't absorb his soul after defeating him.

Anton, who has knows Geser for years, trusts him implicitly and simply goes along with this. Svetlana is, understandably, a little more reserved and is upset that Anton is with her mainly due to some prediction. Then again, her previous marriage was a failure, with her ex suing her for custody of their child (something that is only mentioned once and completely forgotten in later novels), so it's understandable why she'd be wary of future relationships. Eventually, this frustration results in her having a threesome with a couple of Anton's coworkers...with Anton sleeping next door. The next morning, she's even more infuriated that he doesn't seem to care that she did that (one of her justifications appears to be that she hasn't had sex since the end of her marriage, which means that Anton hasn't even made a move to be more intimate). Somehow, though, their relationship and, later, marriage, works out.

Because Destiny Says So / int_5e150650	comment	It's essentially the job of the Sidereal Exalted to ensure this. Complicating matters are the facts that a) Fate is designed by committee, with all the attendant foibles, b) it can be defied by sufficiently powerful beings or simply through Heroic Willpower, and c) certain beings exist outside of Fate entirely, and tend to function as the Spanner in the Works whenever they come into contact with anyone or anything that doesn't share their immunity. This hard to the Five Maidens. The Maidens possess the ability to observe samsara (the underlying blueprint of reality) in order to be given hard knowledge of the future and their own purpose in it, but they become completely bound to whatever they see. It's suspected that the Maidens (and possibly the world in general) have a lot more freedom if they don't look at samsara, but that is unverifiable.

The Player Character has the chance to activate their father's Project Purity machine that will supply the Capital Wasteland with clean water, but since the room is flooded with radiation it's fatal. The problem is that there's no logical reason why you have to die, since you can have three separate companions who are immune to radiation (and the Super Mutant even insists that it's your destiny). However, the game insists that it's your destiny, those three companions will all refuse to do the job, and if you still choose to send someone else into the room the ending narration calls you a coward and a child. This ending drew tons of fan complaints, so the Broken Steel DLC changes the ending so you can point send a radiation-immune companion instead, but the ending narration still berates you. Fawkes even outright states in this situation that since your actions have altered his destiny, he feels that he should help alter yours this time around.

The show's attitude to destiny can be summed up nicely by Iroh's line: "Destiny is a funny thing, Prince Zuko. It never happens the way you expect." This was also Iroh's reason for leading the siege of Ba Sing Se: he had a prophetic dream about conquering the city. But after a siege of 600 days, the death of his son, and three years of banishment, he understands he has to take it back from his own nation, rather than conquer Ba Sing Se for the Fire nation.

Because Destiny Says So / int_733f2aaf	comment	Cradle Series: The Abidan are an organization of ascendant beings who protect worlds from outside interference, making sure the Fate of those worlds remains intact. This is because the more a world deviates from its Fate, the more Chaos is created, which twists worlds like a disease. On the plus side, Fate is both flexible and the Abidan are worried exclusively with the grand scale. Suriel changes Lindon's entire life by giving him a vision of his most likely Fate, which is mostly of a good life until he dies in a Dreadgod attack. Suriel warns him that he probably won't be able to stop the catastrophe, but if he does, she's not particularly worried because the Fate of the world will be unaffected by something as minor as saving millions of lives. She is very surprised when one of her colleagues informs her that the Fate of the world has been majorly affected. As it turns out, Suriel accidentally sent Lindon stumbling into a long-running plot by another Abidan; the two plots collided and fed on each other, causing a much larger disruption than previously anticipated. Makiel decides to tweak the world's Fate a little to accelerate Lindon's ascension and get him out of the world as fast as possible. Or kill him horribly, but either way he won't be causing problems any more. The primary point of contention between Ozriel and the other Judges (especially Makiel) revolves around this problem. Ozriel, as the Reaper, was in charge of killing worlds that had been corrupted too much, but he insisted that they could have been saved with some minor tweaks to their Fates. Yes it would cause some extra Chaos, but they could deal with it, and surely it was better both practically and morally in the long run to save more lives. Due to the fact that the nature of the argument revolved around changing Fate, no one could truly predict which option was better for Fate in the end, so Ozriel's proposals were repeatedly tabled.

Because Destiny Says So / int_7406f8b2	comment	Quest for Glory I. The Muggles of Spielberg believe there's a prophecy concerning a hero who will restore the missing royal children and drive off the witch Baba Yaga, breaking her curse on the valley. Erasmus explains that the "prophecy" is just a counter-curse - put simply, a list of instructions on how to break the curse. In the sequel, Ad Avis invokes a prophecy to revive the evil djinn Iblis, which implies that he is guaranteed to win. It isn't until after you beat him that you learn that the prophecy Ad Avis was using was horrifically mistranslated. The true prophecy predicts that an attempt to revive Iblis would occur, but did not ensure that it would succeed—which does not, however, mean that it can't.

Because Destiny Says So / int_74f7210c	comment	This is the driving force of any The Legend of Zelda game. It's destiny that if you are a blond-haired boy who wears a green tunic at any point in his lifetime, you are morally/contractually bound to Save the Princess. It is written: Only Link can defeat Ganon. Two out of three of said games actually have Zelda defeat him. There is, however, no specific prophecy or god stating that Link must save Zelda/Hyrule. Instead, it's almost always a case of Link choosing to save Zelda. There's only one instance where there's a prophecy, which is Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, in which he still technically has a choice. In other words, Link saves the day not because he's The Chosen One, but rather because he chooses to be The Chosen One. In most cases, Link is usually destined to be the one to save the day and is the only one who can use the Triforce of Courage and Master Sword since he is chosen for it. In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, the incarnation of Link in the game is not related to the Link from the legends. This means that this version of Link is not chosen by destiny and he has to prove to the gods that he is worthy of wielding the Master Sword AND the Triforce of Courage. In Ocarina of Time, destiny decides that Young Link is too young to wield the Master Sword - so it seals him away for seven years. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: At one point Groose is told, in no uncertain terms, that he can't be the hero who saves Zelda because it was already decided, before he was even born, that Link would be the one to save her. That said, the destiny doesn't say Link can't get some help, and so he builds The Groosenator to help Link battle The Imprisoned. As the now first chronological story gives a source for the "destiny". When Big Bad Demise is defeated he curses Link and Zelda to forever be reincarnated and face the eternal reincarnation of his own power, Ganondorf.

Because Destiny Says So / int_7559ae0b	comment	How much of Dune and its sequels are The Chosen One acting out a preordained destiny, and how much is actually the Messianic Archetype choosing his own destiny and then being forced to live it out unto the bitter end? Frank Herbert would like you to think about it. It's stated that "absolute prediction = completion = death". The Guild Navigators can get away with it because their glimpses into the future are limited to allowing their FTL ships to avoid disaster, and are done on a journey-by-journey basis, but anything more than that is implied to be a lethal trap for the prognosticator. The Bene Gesserit have muddied the waters somewhat as well by deliberately planting prophecies in various societies so that a member of their order can exploit these in a bind. "We shouldn't kill her, she's the Chosen One of the prophecy!"

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.

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.

How does Richard defeat Darken Rahl at the end of the first season, as he is prophesied to do? He doesn't. Rahl dies trying to break up a ritual set up by Richard and Kahlan to mind-control all of D'Hara. The second season is resolved in an even more improbable manner. Richard ends up unknowingly handing the Keeper the Stone of Tears, which would ensure the end of the world. Then Kahlan kills Richard, snaps out of her "blood rage", and sheds a tear on Richard, which somehow turns into another Stone of Tears. This is how it worked in the source material as well: the prophecy always comes true, but rarely how you'd expect.

Not only must the Prophecies of the Dragon (which apparently run on long enough to fill a largish book) be fulfilled, but various characters are either having prophetic dreams, seeing prophetic visions, or travelling through magical gates to get prophetic answers, all of which inevitably come true. It's very nearly reached the point where major characters can fulfill a half dozen ancient prophecies without even meaning to just by having breakfast. This is also a literal case of Because Destiny Says So when the Chosen One, not knowing what to do next, consults the prophecies written about himself in a deliberate effort to fulfill them. At the same time it is stated in the books that the prophecies are just a guideline under which events could play out the way one hopes. Characters are warned that intentionally attempting to fulfill the prophecies could really fuck things up while in an interesting twist ignoring them could do just the same. In Book 3 a Portal Stone trip through countless parallel worlds shows the many ways that already could have happened in this age alone.

You don't get to choose your character and you don't get to choose how you play the game. Nowhere in the game do you actually have free will or make any impactful choices. The first chapter ends with Kris tearing the SOUL from their chest, seemingly so they can have free will and a choice of their own, even if it's sinister or psychopathic, since Kris may not have wanted to be good or be a hero in the first place.

Because Destiny Says So / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind plays with it heavily in regards to whether or not the Player Character is truly The Chosen One. Your character is generally assumed to be a Chosen One thanks to the prophecies of the "Nerevarine," the reincarnation of the heroic Indoril Nerevar. This trope gets subverted a ways into the storyline, when your self-appointed mentor explains that "having the spirit of Nerevar" isn't literal... you're not the reincarnation, you're just qualified to follow in his footsteps and save his people from his ancient foe. In fact, there are others qualified to become the Nerevarine as well, and you'll even meet up with a few who tried and failed. Ultimately, you get the option to either fulfill the prophecy as destiny declares, or to become The Unchosen One - at the end of the main quest you get asked if you are Nerevar reborn. It is entirely possible to answer that no, you aren't, but you're doing this because it's the right thing to do (and it is given more weight if you didn't fulfill the entire prophetic list of things you are supposed to do before confronting Dagoth Ur yet still are in a position to confront him by your possession of Kagrenac's Tools attuned to you). Skyrim: It's eventually revealed that this is the reason for all of the major events of the first four games. They are part of an ancient prophecy concerning Alduin, the World-Eater, and only when all of the events of the prophecy have come to pass will the last portion - the part about the Last Dragonborn - take place. It is repeatedly stated that Alduin is destined to destroy the world so that it can be reborn, and so there are some (like the Greybeards) who don't automatically accept that stopping Alduin is a good thing. Paarthurnax also argues this, believing that Alduin is doing what he was created to do. The problem is that, while his divine mandate is to cause the destruction of the world, Alduin seems to want to rule it even more. Given that Alduin is an indispensable mechanism integral to the cycle of creation, it's almost guaranteed his death won't stick and he'll just come back at the appointed time. The ending of Skyrim even suggests that this is the reason the Last Dragonborn couldn't absorb his soul after defeating him.

Combined with his secondary ability, Epitaph, which allows him to see a ten second projection of the fated future, he can use Time Skip to make him intangible to any object along with Fate itself. This allows him to either make a fated kill more stealthy or turn a disadvantageous situation into an advantageous one. A short arc at the end of Part 5, which takes place before Giorno Giovanna joins Team Buccarati, has Guido Mista investigating a Stand-user named Scolippi, whose Stand Rolling Stone shows when a person will die soon and grants them a less grusome way to die if they touch it. When Mista sees that the stone shows Bruno Buccarati will die soon, he desperately tries to keep the Stand from reaching its target and succeeds in carving off Buccarati's face from its surface, seemingly saving him from his future death. But after he leaves, the stand shows not only Buccarati's face but two of his teammate that already died in the story, with Rolling Stone choosing not to go after them because their destined deaths will have good results in the long run. As the arc is shown after the heroes defeats the Big Bad, the audience already knows that Mista is unable to prevent the death of his leader.

When the same seal in the afterlife doesn't kill him, he attributes this to destiny as well. Parodied in Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, when the old man on the cloud declares that Benjamin is definitely the hero in The Prophecy. After Benjamin manages to win a boss fight, the old man is relieved he found the right one. It ends up being a Double Subversion, as endgame events reveal that the Final Boss, the Dark King, made up The Prophecy as a joke. The old man on the cloud, a.k.a. the Light Crystal, decided to make it come true anyway. This trope turns out to be behind a lot of plot developments in Final Fantasy VIII. In particular, Cid handing command of Garden and SeeD to Squall, a newly-graduated SeeD with limited field experience and no actual successful missions under his belt - Cid doesn't exactly come out and say that it's because Squall is destined to defeat the sorceress, but he treats it as enough of a foregone conclusion that Squall, shocked and confused by the sudden unwanted promotion, protests, "Don't talk about this like it's been decided since my birth!" In fact, Cid is acting on foreknowledge of a Stable Time Loop in which Squall is indeed the one who not only defeats the sorceress but, having accepted his role in the whole thing, provides Cid and Edea with the foreknowledge upon which they founded SeeD to begin with.

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. Three characters particularly notable for this are Yami Yugi and Ishizu in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and anime, and Sartorius in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Yami Yugi spends most of Battle City being told he's destined to find his memories if he wins the tournament, which also means defeating Arc Villain Marik, and Ishizu lives by this trope until Kaiba defeats her in a duel she was fated to win. In GX 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:

Somewhat thereafter, Petrok insists on their going on the rescue mission for that undertaking. He tells the leader that first, he has dreamed of it and second, he thinks the squad's disgrace was Fate's way of ensuring that they would be kept off the mission itself, so as to be available for the rescue. Gaunt's Ghosts has this with the involvement of the Ghosts in general, and Gaunt and Milo in particular, in the reincarnation of Saint Sabbat. Blood Angels: In Deus Encarmine and Deus Sanguinius, both Arkio and Rafen foresee they are destined to a Cain and Abel fight, and one would die. When Inquisitor Stele plays on Rafen's mind to induce Driven to Suicide, Rafen's random flight brings him to a make-shift mediation chamber that he had made earlier. It might have been the Emperor guiding him, it might have been chance, it might have been muscle memory; on the other hand, he breaks free of Stele's influence and receives a vision. At the end of Red Fury, Seth declares that the events of the novel had been sent by the Emperor to test the Blood Angels and to remind the other Chapters from Sanguinius's gene-seed that they were not cousins but brothers. In James Swallow's novel Faith & Fire, when Verity is the sole survivor of a transport, she is told that the Emperor has plans for her. In the Horus Heresy novel The Flight of the Eisenstein, the housecarl Kaleb thinks his master chosen by the God-Emperor and so Kaleb's carrying out his wishes is part of the Emperor's work. He sacrifices his life to preserve his master for that work. In the Ultramarines novel Dead Sky Black Sun, when Uriel meets Colonel Leonid, who can tell him what is in the Chaos fortress, Uriel tells him that it was not chance that brought him to meet Leonid. Later, Leonid speculates that they recovered a woman from a daemon's control in order that he might not die alone, since she comes from his regiment.

Because Destiny Says So / int_b0028436	comment	In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Fate is a measurable force, explained by DIO as gravity pulling objects and organisms along a predestined path. Each part has Fate as a force used in some way. Phantom Blood: When Will Zeppeli trains with Tonpetty, the latter warns the former that he will tragically die if he were to finish his training. Battle Tendency: Lisa Lisa explains to Joseph and Caesar that a prophecy states that the Red Stone of Aja is crucial to the defeat of the Pillar Men. This ends up being correct, as without it, Joseph would not have defeated Kars. Stardust Crusaders: Boingo's Stand, Thoth, takes the form of a comic book that 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 100% accurate. This is best demonstrated when they get a page of Jotaro dying in an explosion and go off to set up the event, however Oingo panics when he's found out and disguises himself as Jotaro and is caught in the explosion. So visually the prediction came true, however Boingo 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. Later on, the chief prophecy 'Jotaro dies when his head is blown open' actually happens twice, firstly in Diamond is Unbreakable when Yoshikage Kira's Bites The Dust kills him when he, along with the rest of the heroes learn of Kira's identity, undone by Hayato's sheer will, and the second and final time in Stone Ocean when Pucci uses Made in Heaven to kill Jotaro for real. Thoth makes a return in the dubious canon spin-off JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak when Boingo and Hol Horse search for a Stand-using parrot in Morioh. In the final chapter of the mini-series, Ryohei Higashikata sees through Thoth that he will die in a few days. While he isn't certain that is death is imminent, he chooses to accept his death with grace, calling his grandson's father Joseph Joestar and let him know about his son. Golden Wind: Diavolo's Stand, King Crimson, has the ability to be exempt from fate for up to ten seconds. Combined with his secondary ability, Epitaph, which allows him to see a ten second projection of the fated future, he can use Time Skip to make him intangible to any object along with Fate itself. This allows him to either make a fated kill more stealthy or turn a disadvantageous situation into an advantageous one. A short arc at the end of Part 5, which takes place before Giorno Giovanna joins Team Buccarati, has Guido Mista investigating a Stand-user named Scolippi, whose Stand Rolling Stone shows when a person will die soon and grants them a less grusome way to die if they touch it. When Mista sees that the stone shows Bruno Buccarati will die soon, he desperately tries to keep the Stand from reaching its target and succeeds in carving off Buccarati's face from its surface, seemingly saving him from his future death. But after he leaves, the stand shows not only Buccarati's face but two of his teammate that already died in the story, with Rolling Stone choosing not to go after them because their destined deaths will have good results in the long run. As the arc is shown after the heroes defeats the Big Bad, the audience already knows that Mista is unable to prevent the death of his leader. Stone Ocean: Enrico Pucci, decides that heaven is a world where everybody knows their own destiny... and sets out to make it that way. However, he is ultimately defeated by Emporio, who states that Fate will always be on the side of justice, no matter what. The JoJoLands: Jodio follows something called a "Mechanism". In simple terms, they're universal constants where all the deals of power and trust in the world come together like an ecosystem, acting as general pre-established principles that the moving parts (people) of the mechanism should follow and use to gain an edge; things like "Don't ask stupid questions", "Don't snitch", etc. Jodio follows his mechanism to the letter, and in turn, he lives comfortably in his life of crime because that's how things are supposed to go; so long as he follows the Mechanism's unspoken principles.

Because Destiny Says So / int_b5a2b326	comment	Morrowind plays with it heavily in regards to whether or not the Player Character is truly The Chosen One. Your character is generally assumed to be a Chosen One thanks to the prophecies of the "Nerevarine," the reincarnation of the heroic Indoril Nerevar. This trope gets subverted a ways into the storyline, when your self-appointed mentor explains that "having the spirit of Nerevar" isn't literal... you're not the reincarnation, you're just qualified to follow in his footsteps and save his people from his ancient foe. In fact, there are others qualified to become the Nerevarine as well, and you'll even meet up with a few who tried and failed. Ultimately, you get the option to either fulfill the prophecy as destiny declares, or to become The Unchosen One - at the end of the main quest you get asked if you are Nerevar reborn. It is entirely possible to answer that no, you aren't, but you're doing this because it's the right thing to do (and it is given more weight if you didn't fulfill the entire prophetic list of things you are supposed to do before confronting Dagoth Ur yet still are in a position to confront him by your possession of Kagrenac's Tools attuned to you).

In a way, it was, because he was essentially pushed hard in 2011, becoming the Money In The Bank winner and cashing it in at Summerslam that year (he had won the Royal Rumble earlier that year, too, but lost to Edge). He even won the World Heavyweight Title in 2013. They were short reigns, though, as CM Punk won it from Del Rio in October of 2011 to begin his long running reign, and Dolph Ziggler won the WHC from Del Rio the night after Wrestlemania 29 using the same MITB contract Del Rio used to snag his first. His longest came after he won it again at Payback 2013. He kept it until October, when he lost it to a returning John Cena.

The characters find themselves dependent on Destiny's needs for their own survival (like material to get the air filters working), but Destiny conveniently brings them to planets where they can gather the necessary materials. Some characters early on decide to Screw Destiny and abandon ship, but most of the crew members view the ship's presence at a location as proof enough that it is worth exploring. Also, those who abandon ship are revealed not to have survived the winter. An unknown entity temporarily resurrects them and brings them to the Destiny aboard a brand-new shuttle, only for them to die one-by-one in the same manner they previously died. But hey, the Destiny crew has a new shuttle!

Because Destiny Says So / int_c3c3dfc	comment	Stardust Crusaders: Boingo's Stand, Thoth, takes the form of a comic book that 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 100% accurate. This is best demonstrated when they get a page of Jotaro dying in an explosion and go off to set up the event, however Oingo panics when he's found out and disguises himself as Jotaro and is caught in the explosion. So visually the prediction came true, however Boingo 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. Later on, the chief prophecy 'Jotaro dies when his head is blown open' actually happens twice, firstly in Diamond is Unbreakable when Yoshikage Kira's Bites The Dust kills him when he, along with the rest of the heroes learn of Kira's identity, undone by Hayato's sheer will, and the second and final time in Stone Ocean when Pucci uses Made in Heaven to kill Jotaro for real. Thoth makes a return in the dubious canon spin-off JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Crazy Diamond's Demonic Heartbreak when Boingo and Hol Horse search for a Stand-using parrot in Morioh. In the final chapter of the mini-series, Ryohei Higashikata sees through Thoth that he will die in a few days. While he isn't certain that is death is imminent, he chooses to accept his death with grace, calling his grandson's father Joseph Joestar and let him know about his son.

Because Destiny Says So / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Ponies get a "cutie mark," a symbol that magically appears on their flank, when they realize their destiny. Many of the show's older fans questioned this apparent case of determinism, asking if any ponies ever get stuck with a cutie mark they don't want. The season 3 finale "Magical Mystery Cure" tackles this issue head on when the main characters' marks are switched around by a spell gone wrong, while "Appleoosa's Most Wanted" features a character whose "special talent" is being clumsy which ends up being a Dream-Crushing Handicap. The Cutie Mark Crusaders, three young ponies trying desperately to get their cutie marks, occasionally have episodes where they express fears over getting a "bad" cutie mark, and they'll be forced into a job they don't want. This is apparently just a childish fear; adults demonstrate multiple times that your cutie mark doesn't define you, just helps show you what you're best at. Ultimately, the Crusaders get their marks when they realize that their talent is in helping other ponies with their cutie marks. In later episodes, they both help fillies who haven't gotten their marks yet and older ponies who have gotten marks but feel unfulfilled because they're not utilizing their talents properly. Speaking of your cutie mark not defining you, half of the Mane Six have jobs not inherently related to their special skill. Rarity (finding jewels) is a seamstress and fashion designer, Pinkie Pie (causing laughter and joy) is a baker, and Twilight Sparkle (magic) is a librarian. The filly Kettle Corn (writing haikus) is also a good artist. This becomes a challenge for Thunderlane's little brother Rumble, who is afraid to earn his cutie mark because this means he's resorted to one talent for the rest of his life.

Because Destiny Says So / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: Clara realized after hearing about the Dalek Asylum that it was inevitable for her to jump into the Doctor's Timestream, scattering herself into a million pieces, to save his life. She even states that she was "born to save the Doctor." Her doing this was so important that the majority of things that have happened in the show wouldn't have happened without her input. The Doctor wouldn't have even stolen the current TARDIS he owns without her. Pretty much the whole concept of fixed points in time. Generally they're points so important to the fabric of time that even a time traveler can't change them and even if they try, time will just force events into the closest equivalent it can so that the impact is the same on future events. Though it's also frequently used as a hand wave for why the Doctor can't just go back in time to fix something. In The Fires of Pompei, it's revealed that the reason the eruption of Vesuvius was a fixed point was that the Doctor caused it himself. It's implied that at least some fixed points are only fixed for people who will have caused them - so another time traveler might be able to save Pompeii, but doing so would change the Doctor's personal history. Once the Doctor said Screw Destiny and saved the life of an astronaut whose Heroic Sacrifice would inspire future generations. She then killed herself instead to ensure that history remained unchanged.

Granted, seeing as the Evil Queen is her long-lost mother, this might be seen as her responsibility, a personal problem she must clean up after. But when the Gypsy Queen vaguely intones that she has "a destiny that stretches way back in time", and Snow White tells her that Wendell "needs you to save his kingdom, we all do," you get the feeling there's something rather arbitrary about all this. The fairy godmother does do a very good (if slightly Anvilicious) job of comparing her life to Virginia's to explain why she "found the right person." But when, after killing her mother in self-defense with the poison comb, Wolf tells her it was not her fault, even Virginia seems to buy into it by saying the fateful words: "It was my destiny..."

Because Destiny Says So / int_da92c130	comment	In Erfworld, how much the Fate affect the life is an important part of the characterization and a source of drama to the characters. In Erfworld, fighting Fate is pretty much impossible. Except possibly with Carnymancy, the best you can really hope for is a Prophecy Twist. Trying to fight Fate results in (more) suffering for yourself and those around you as Fate pushes you to your destiny anyway. This is for example the reason of the fatalism of Wanda Firebaugh. In her early life, she refused to believe she couldn't decide her own Fate and tried to rebel against the prophecy made on her. It didn't turn out well for her loved ones and the prophecy came true anyway, so she came to believe that the only way to avoid/minimize suffering is trying to fulfill your Fate as quickly and directly as possible. Prophecy Twist is really the best option. If, for example, Fate has decreed that a City will fall to a certain enemy, the best thing to do is evacuate and make a deal with the enemy letting them conquer it (maybe including terms for them to trade it back to you afterwards).

This does happen, but she's only clinically dead (after drowning), and after some timely CPR she's as good as new. In Season 8 this is averted. Angel and Buffy are destined to fuck a new universe into existence, which they do. Then they abandon it to save this one, which they weren't supposed to do. Then they destroy all magic to save this universe from the new one.

In particular, Cid handing command of Garden and SeeD to Squall, a newly-graduated SeeD with limited field experience and no actual successful missions under his belt - Cid doesn't exactly come out and say that it's because Squall is destined to defeat the sorceress, but he treats it as enough of a foregone conclusion that Squall, shocked and confused by the sudden unwanted promotion, protests, "Don't talk about this like it's been decided since my birth!" In fact, Cid is acting on foreknowledge of a Stable Time Loop in which Squall is indeed the one who not only defeats the sorceress but, having accepted his role in the whole thing, provides Cid and Edea with the foreknowledge upon which they founded SeeD to begin with.

Because Destiny Says So / int_f10619d8	comment	Tales of the Abyss has the existence of the Score, a telling of fate lasting thousands of years, and whether or not the heroes decide to fight it or go along with it. It deconstructs the trope because it shows what the world would be like if everyone had a constant and regular link to "Destiny". They consult it for everything, from who they marry to what they eat for dinner. This leads to it becoming a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy because the people blindly act according to what the Score has told them to do. A single organization, the Order of Lorelei, has a monopoly on reading the Score, and as a result it is the most powerful organization in the world. One of the leaders, Grand Maestro Mohs, even plans on staring a war between the two big superpowers solely because the Score says it will happen.

The Lady of the Lake accepts her impending demise because, "It's fate," and Merlin attempts to kill Vortigern to fulfill a prophecy he'd seen about Uther defeating him.(Though he had ample reason to do so besides the prophecy.) However, Mab is determined to Screw Destiny and keep herself alive, and Merlin quite often attempts to escape what is told is his destiny at points as well. He also accuses the Lady of the Lake of lying to him about a knight from across the pond finding the Grail and saving the kingdom, when, in fact, he simply assumed that the knight would be Lancelot and not Galahad, Lancelot's son.

Also a lot of the decisions he makes to secure this destiny were influenced by this prophecy and the great dragon's rather biased directions on how to go about achieving it. One example - poisoning Morgana in the Fires of Idirsholas to save Camelot, even though she had little to no idea of what was actually happening at the time or her role in causing it. The Series Two motto was "You can't escape your destiny."

Because Destiny Says So / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: The (highly accurate) prophecies of Valen are a central pillar of Minbari culture for a thousand years. Unlike many shows, however, there is a reason for the accuracy of Valen's prophecies (He was actually from the future and had participated firsthand in some of the prophesied events.). Other characters (Lady Ladira, Elric the Technomage) were also prophetic, mostly in regard to the future of Londo Mollari. (Londo himself had prophetic dreams on many occasions.) In fact, the use of prophecy in Babylon 5 is so extensive that there's an entire Web page detailing it. As with all good prophecies, however, when the events foretold eventually come to pass, they rarely happen in the expected or obvious context. In The Passing of the Techno-Mages trilogy, it's revealed that Elric's "prophecy" was based on little more than psychology and common sense. The technomages don't have any precognitive powers. They're just trained from young age to be good observers and performers.

Because Destiny Says So / int_fa738078	comment	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 DiC Entertainment 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.
