Quick facts

nuance:While 'きっとうまくいく' (kitto umaku iku) is more common for 'I'm sure it will work out,' 'きっととなる' is a more indirect, slightly literary, or philosophical way of expressing the same sentiment, suggesting that things will inevitably settle into a positive state. It's less common in casual conversation but conveys a sense of certainty about the eventual outcome.
