He Exploited this to great effect to ruin The Stranger's machinations in Beyond, showing up and letting him assume this meant he would be beaten in this stage of the Eternal Recurrence, since Uatu never showed up before. Earth's heroes long ago learned that Uatu only shows up in person when something really big is about to happen, so just by allowing himself to be seen he gives them a passive warning without technically breaking the rules. As Uatu is well aware, his mere presence is a degree of interference.It's implied by others of his race that Uatu has more personal investment in the planet's inhabitants than is normal for Watchers. Which to be fair is probably a valid concern because quite notably, in spite of his Catchphrase, he almost always ended up interfering anyway. He always loudly proclaimed 'Yes, it is I the Watcher, who is always watching, but must not interfere', roughly every other sentence as if people were going to forget it. Uatu the Watcher is the Trope Namer, a Marvel Comics character (introduced in Fantastic Four #13) who lives in a secret base on the moon, watches everything transpiring on Earth, and occasionally pontificates to the readership about it.It may or may not be the same Bernkastel as in Umineko, but Frederica Bernkastel is The Watcher of the Higurashi: When They Cry continuity, as she is the collective amalgamation of all past Rikas, and is responsible for plugging Rika into another kakera after Hanyuu invokes her power. In Umineko: When They Cry, Bernkastel takes this role for the first two games, but once Beatrice indicates that she knows where Bern's loyalties lie, she takes a much more active role.He's also one of the few examples to employ this trope somewhat malevolently, being the absolute king of Exact Words and You Didn't Ask.Of course, this does not stop him from giving out Wham Line after Wham Line in almost every episode. Despite being a Manipulative Bastard, his actions only indirectly influence the storyline, and he really cannot break the rules which are assigned to him (grant a wish to an up-and-coming Magical Girl, no matter how weird it is). In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Kyubey is the living embodiment of this trope.In Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, Big Bad Paptimus Scirocco would like people to think he is this, as evidenced by his Catchphrase 'I'm merely a witness to history', but the truth is he's just a very good player of Xanatos Speed Chess and is content to make a move only when he has to.Although he and his henchmen do take the odd opportunity to display how badass they are on a regular basis, Meta Knight seems happy to leave the problem solving to Fumu and the ass kicking to Kirby. Meta Knight acts as the Mentor for Kirby in the anime adaptation, and tends to act this way rather a lot of the time, often serving as Mr.

Thankfully, this means she can see the good points of those who are shunned, like Iino and Ishigami. Osaragi from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War doesn't actively participate in plots, but she does take notice of all the things going on with Iino, and the situation in middle school.Mikuru Asahina from Haruhi Suzumiya is a Time Traveler who's assigned to watch over Haruhi to unlock the mystery about why it's now impossible to time-travel beyond a certain day.Bookman and Lavi in D.Gray-Man are supposed to be unbiased recorders of 'the secret history.' Supposed to be.
