An octopus, who correctly predicted all of Japan's World Cup results, has been killed and turned into sashimi.
The mollusc, named Rabio, was hailed as psychic after an experiment in a paddling pool.
But Kimio Abe, the fisherman who caught Rabio, decided he'd make more money selling it for food than from its clairvoyance.
Local media in Japan reports Kimio decided his livelihood was more important than viral fame.
