>Prophecy in Japanese stories is typically limited to "the chosen one will defeat the demon king".
I'm talking about prophetic dreams. Definitely a trope. Normals non-magical people have those. Same as killing intent, it's just basic. Powers 101.
>Lord of the Rings, the codifier of western fantasy also barely makes use of prophecy. There it's just very wise people making accurate predictions.
Point is you see elves use some altar to make predictions in the movies, it's elves specifically as they're more attuned to the mystical, Serie (an elf) says it's a complicated process, that's similar. There's a long story behind this with the Greeks, who make ultra-accurate predictions, probably why he calls her clarvoyant.
