** In probably the most ironic example, he somehow manages to turn a CriticalResearchFailure into HilariousInHindsight in ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX Kingdom Hearts χ]]'': his prediction that Terra, Aqua, and Ventus [[note]]three characters who lived hundreds of years after the events of ''χ''[[/note]] being members of the Dandelions (which many Picky Penguins called him out on in the comments) became rather ironic ''the very next day'', when the ''Union χ'' trailer revealed that [[spoiler:Ventus actually ''was'' a member of the Dandelions]]. While Nico has predicted future plot twists before (see the [[spoiler:Tengan]] example above), this is a particularly notable example because, as with ''Investigations 2'', he somehow managed to predict a shocking plot twist [[RightForTheWrongReasons based on factually incorrect information]].
