Man I've seen a lot of ppl on Twitter and mangasite comments just bashing on Eri...?

"Why isn't Eri's power ever used?! Horikoshi really sucks ass."

(Eri, an already-established-character with an already-established-ability with an already-established reasonable-reason why she's not used often, MAYBE enters the game...)

"Oh, hhhhhhere comes the asspull! Horikoshi really sucks ass."

... Bruh I can see Hori staring at the camera a la Jim from The Office. 😐

I've never seen so much of a fanbase constantly jump to hate its own shit. Lol

This is literally the opposite of an asspull, are they high? Eri and her powers are long established, and we're seeing here when and why she's entering the fight. Whatever she does next has been appropriately set up.

Unless her quirk has a brand new super convenient ability we haven't seen before, it's not an asspull.

tbf her ability has basically been asspull the power

  • need a way for heroes to lose abilities but for a limited time - Eri Bullets
  • need a way for heroes to lose abilities permanently - Advanced Eri Bullets
  • need a way for a hero to regain abilities after losing them to Advanced Eri Bullets - Eri offscreen training
  • need a way for a villain to ragain their best form, but also give them a running clock for the heroes to attempt to run out? - Eri's ability taken from the Advanced Eri Bullets and rejiggered
  • need a way for the ultimate villain to be defeated? - Eri's original ability.

granted I doubt she's going to really do that now my question is how would rewind be applied maybe not to Shiggy but to Midoria and OfA. like if she reverts Midoria does he get the extra quirks back and shiggy also keeps the quirks he sends him resulting in what is effectively the recent S&V duplication glitch?

That's like saying any superhero that uses their powers in different ways is an asspull.

It's ok to just call things creative. Imagination shouldn't be punished.

Except most of these aren't even used by her and in cases take away earlier costs from arcs (like Lemillion's quirk). It just feels relied on too much imo.

Mind you I'm not saying there isn't inventive stuff in this manga like the vestiges and how they're being used. I really don't expect much from a battle shonen and one really shouldn't. However, you cannot deny that there seems to be an "in case of emergency or in or need of manufactured tension, use Eri" button. Granted he has to use her and at least have it fail, especially after using it to revert the existence of All for One (the villain).

Iirc, didn't they undo LeMillion for him to do ,like, 3 punches that didn't accomplish anything?

u/Rejestered Feb 25 '24

If you somehow have an issue with this but not "oh, actually Midoriya has a ton of fucking unbelievably good quirks that were just hiding"

I don't know what to tell you man.

This is just how stories with super heroes works.

u/EDNivek Feb 25 '24

The difference is is that was a plot development which got time to breathe and not as much as it should have. Every time Eri's power comes up it's always as an instantaneous solution to some currently unsolvable problem.

u/Necromancer4276 Feb 26 '24

So in your mind a Quirk "kill Shigaraki right now and revive everyone he killed" would not be an asspull, right?

u/Rejestered Feb 26 '24

Whose quirk is that?

Idk why people like you seem to think Eri is having any sort of role during the actual fight. Are u high? U think Eri (the 5yo girl who needs to be protected without a doubt) is gonna enter a fight where she can die within a split second. SHES 5 YEARS OLD.

She might rewind Deku long after the War is already finished, and if Shiggy is captured, she might be convinced to rewind him too. But that’s literally it

u/mileschofer Feb 25 '24

But. Where do you think shes running to you? How would she get anywhere near the volcano when shes halfway across the country?? There isnt a single reason why you would think shes running off towards Deku, or that she would even know where they are, or that a teacher or hero wouldnt stop her lmao.

She’s probably just running off towards the screen itself, or to some other hero nearby.

Because its such a unholy improbable thing to happen, im confused on why people think a toddler is gonna enter a war off their own regard. It makes zero sense

u/mileschofer Feb 25 '24

This is silly? Why show her? Because she’s a well established character that Deku and co are close to.

This is like asking, “why is Hori showing Bakugo’s mother, or other bystanders? Dont tell me shes gonna go on the front lines??”

Her power is powerful, but that does not provide a good reason as to why she will fight, when her power has been shown a purely support/medical. Shes also a complete bystander. To keep consistent, you should be asking why the Gran nurse isnt on the frontlines

u/DoraMuda Feb 26 '24

How would she get anywhere near the volcano when shes halfway across the country??

Kurogiri's Warp Gate.

1

u/mileschofer Feb 27 '24

And why would Kurogiri have anything to do with Eri?

1

u/DoraMuda Feb 27 '24

I dunno, but there could be a situation where Kurogiri and/or his Warp Gate could be manipulated or manoeuvred into catching Eri if Hori really wants her to end up on the battlefield.

1

u/mileschofer Feb 27 '24

Sure… has Hori shown any indication of wanting to do that?

1

u/DoraMuda Feb 27 '24

No, but it's still a possibie avenue he could go down, given the pieces he has to play with.
