I mainly got Henry DeTamble vibes (The Time Traveler's Wife), even though that time traveler's uncontrollable and involuntary ability physically ends up in a different era stark naked, Poor Guy.
Was Satoru born with such a useful yet uncontrollably supernatural, time-based ability like Henry was?
It seems he had lost it after the time-skip to 2010; the glowing bright blue butterfly appeared again after seven years so... maybe he can control it somewhat now?
