How does ando get his power

When we are first introduced to Ando he is watching Nikki Sanders strip on her webcam. When Hiro tells Ando about his discovered power after making a Tokyo train late 14 seconds, Ando doesn't believe a word of it. Later Hiro persuades him when he brings back the ninth wonders comic book from the future in New York City. Ando then follows Hiro around like best friend helping in any way he can. He is a very humble respectable character that doesn't get jealous and is a true friend.

Hiro decides that he must follow the signs of the ninth wonders comic book in order to get to his destiny. Ando goes with him as a sidekick which he doesn't like to mention. He helps Hiro steal the sword which will help Hiro control his powers.

The next place they go to is Texas where they meet a sweet cafe worker. In the third season he gained super powers via Petrelli's formula to retrieve Hiro from the past. So far, his power seems to amplify the powers of others, such as enabling Daphne to travel faster than the speed of light and into the past.

Hiro knows about this in fact the whole point was to use them to save Hiro, which he still hasn't done. Surely the sensible plan to save Charlie would have been to take her into the future and have Peter cure her rather than trust an extermely powerful serial killer with a clear motivation to kill them both, not to mention the danger of derailing history. Even if he was afraid to teleport her in her current state, there was nothing to stop him from going into the future alone and bringing Peter back.

Ando tells Hiro that the reason he can't save Charlie is because "there are no small butterflies", meaning everything he does will affect the future in many different ways.

Sure, except when Hiro goes back in time and makes Ando and Kimiko a couple without affecting ANYTHING else in the entire show, and when Hiro goes back in time, cures Charlie, insults Sylar and completely fucks up his own past, and when Hiro goes back in time to stop a man from committing suicide Community Showcase More.

After Hiro saves the woman and the man Ando chats with the man's kid. Continuing on to New York, they stop at a diner in Midland, TX and meet a waitress who is then killed. Hiro goes back in time to save her, leaving Ando to wait for him in the Diner. The next day, Ando meets Peter, who has come to the diner, as he waits for Hiro to return.

When Hiro returns a day later, he is disappointed because he failed to save Charlie. The two travel to Union Wells High School and arrive too late to save the cheerleader , but instead meet Isaac. The next day, when the two go to retrieve their rental car, they are kidnapped by a strange man who offers them plane tickets back to Japan , which Ando is impressed by, but Hiro refuses. They are taken to meet Hiro's father.

Afterwards, they return to Las Vegas where they attempt to assist a showgirl named Hope. While Hiro doesn't want to go through with it, Ando disagrees and attempts to help her himself. Ando leaves with Hope, driving her to Primm, NV. Hope's ex-boyfriend shows up and fires a gun at Ando, but Hiro saves him with his power. Back in Las Vegas, Ando, who went against Hiro's wishes to go back to Japan, saves Hiro, allowing him to steal the sword he has been after.

As Corinthian guards arrive to stop them, Hiro teleports the two into the future. While looking at pictures the two are confronted by Hiro from the future. Hiro learns that in this future, Ando was killed in the explosion. They return to the present day in Isaac's apartment where they find its owner dead.

The two hide from the man in the room, but when the man hears Ando gulp, Hiro teleports them out of the apartment. They follow the man to his mother's apartment , contemplating killing him. They try, but fail, breaking the sword. After they get it fixed, Hiro trains with his father, while Ando leaves to kill Sylar himself. However, Sylar catches Ando by surprise and starts to cut his neck. Hiro comes to his rescue, taking Ando back to Japan, leaving him there, telling his friend that he must finish the journey on his own.

Ando is now an assistant for Kaito Nakamura. He is present when Kaito receives his death threat and later witnesses his murder. He is interviewed by Matt Parkman and explains the symbol 's meaning.

After seemingly being downgraded to his old job , Ando discovers a message from Hiro on the bottom of the sword. He opens the sword and reads the scrolls that Hiro sent him about his adventures with Takezo Kensei. Ando asks for help reading some of the damaged scrolls.

On one scroll, the story abruptly stops, much to the dismay of Ando. Later, Hiro appears in Ando's office where Ando must spoil the joyful reunion with the news of Kaito 's death. Days later, Ando speaks with Hiro at Kaito Nakamura's funeral. Hiro teleports after finding some information about Adam Monroe , leaving Ando alone again. When Hiro suddenly returns, he takes his sword from Ando and teleports away again, leaving Ando to wonder why Hiro feels saving the world is always his responsibility.

Days later, Ando asks about Adam and Hiro replies that Adam will no longer harm anybody. Ando watches Hiro Nakamura open Hiro's father 's safe, finding half of a formula but Daphne Millbrook steals it in a flash. Hiro time travels to see what will happen with the formula stolen. After he returns, Ando notices Hiro does not trust him and he explains him that he kills him in the future.

Hiro tries to use a medal of Daphne's to bargain for the formula. The next thing Ando knows, Daphne is gone and his neck has been slightly cut. Ando thinks Hiro cut him when time was frozen, but Hiro tries to tell him it was Daphne. Hiro tells Ando that he secretly planted a tracking device on Daphne's medal. Ando is disappointed that Hiro didn't tell him before. They track Daphne to Berlin, where she is going to steal the other half of the formula from the Haitian.

Ando knocks the Haitian unconscious and they argue if Hiro can trust Ando. Meanwhile, Daphne steals the other half. Ando agrees to help Hiro escape, but Ando isn't going with him. The Haitian then catches them escaping and takes them to Angela Petrelli. Angela tells them that the formula gives people abilities, and tells them that they need to dig up Adam Monroe. Adam takes them to a bar, where Adam gets away and Daphne and Knox offer Hiro a job. Knox tells him that to prove hes got what it takes he needs to kill Ando since he doesn't have an ability and is useless.

Hiro pretends to impale Ando with a fake sword, making Daphne and Knox believe that Ando is dead, using gag blood obtained by Hiro using his ability.
