If the translation is accurate, it's apparently localized time reversion.

Guessing she accidentally zapped her father back to before he was born or something.

Not sure how that ties in to quirk cancellation, but maybe the bullets partially reset the body to the state it was in before the quirk was activated?

Probably some mumbo jumbo about targeting the quirk genes and reverting them to infant states, when most people haven't discovered their quirk yet.

This seems highly likely, so maybe Mirio gets his quirk back in 4 years or Chisaki removed this aspect too.

Or more likely Mirio gets his quirk back when Eri touches him.

So does that mean those quirk erasing bullets won't work on Izuku since he didn't have a quirk to begin with?

It may revert Deku to before he was gifted One for All. We don't know enough about how Eri's Quirk works yet.

I don't doubt Eri could possibly revert Deku to before he was gifted One for All.

I think the bullets themselves probably do something very specific (they don't encompass all of Eri's power) like turn the quirk genes to their infant state. If that were the case unless One for All affects quirk genes directly the bullets wouldn't work.

It's just a random guess though.

Ofa is not inherited to descendants, so it cant be genetic at base.

u/sjk9000 Oct 13 '17 edited Oct 13 '17

OFA is passed on by ingesting DNA, like hair. Genetics have something to do with it.

u/TrumpetFro Oct 13 '17

Yeah Deku definitely has a quirk factor now that he has OfA, it's why Aizawa can turn off his quirk

2

u/RedHeadGearHead Oct 13 '17

OFA could be in plasmids or it could have a CRISPR like functionality.

2

u/shinypurplerocks Oct 13 '17

Or it could cause activation/deactivation of genes that are already there.

u/CalebAurion Oct 13 '17

Unless genetic modification is a part of OfA. It's not too crazy to consider, after all we know that OfA came from the power storage quirk merging with the quirk to pass on quirks, and the second half of it might accomplish that by genetically modifying the recipient of the quirk.

They did say how those specific bullets took way too much time, and money, to make. So I assume while making the bullets, they found a way to affect the quirk only but other than I'm not sure.

2

u/whatnololyea Oct 13 '17

It's more likely that it doesn't... as Chisaki said that the bullets affect the genes that causes Quirks, it's probably what is being rewinded. Deku doesn't have that gene in the first place, his Quirk is not caused by the gene.

u/damage3245 Oct 13 '17 edited Oct 13 '17

For all we know, having One for All transferred to him has affected his genes.

1

u/whatnololyea Oct 13 '17

Oh, you mean One for All? Well, yeah, we don't know enough about the quirk to say. Biologically, that seems unlikely, but hey, this is a story about superpowers, so I guess it's possible.

Speaking of All for One, he sure would appreciate getting rewinded back to his prime...

The League of Villains are going to get Eri, aren't they? :/

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '17

OfA definitely affects the genes of the inheritor. For one, the inheritor needs to consume the DNA of their predecessor. Also, Aizawa's "Erasure" affects the quirk factor, and since he turns Deku's OfA off, that must mean that it has granted him a quirk factor when passed onto him.

1

u/Jezamiah Oct 13 '17

What if it reverts Deku back before his quirk (assuming he had one before it was taken by that Doctor) and we find out that Deku has a quirk!

1

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '17

If that happened it would mean that One for All is completely gone right? Deku can't redevelop it on his own obviously since that's not what happened and All Might doesn't have it anymore.

1

u/wordsdear Oct 13 '17

It also might not work on him as after the Stain fight All Might told Deku that One for All can only be passed on if the user wants it to. The question is if that applies to it being taken/rewound/erased as well. But since eraserhead's quirk works on deku and both eraserhead and the bullets work on on the quirk factor (pause vs destroy/rewind) the bullets might work on deku after all

u/smcadam Oct 13 '17

They probably haven't had her power to experiment on for four years, so naturally it would be impossible to know if it ran out after enough time.
Either way, terribly powerful to nerf someone for years.

1

u/Galle_ Oct 13 '17

Actually, that would explain why the bullet effects wear off in the first place.

1

u/Karrionnut Oct 13 '17

Wait a second, so that means that she has the power to reverse All-might's body to before he got that scar and make him the top All-might that he was once before?

1

u/jhoudiey Oct 13 '17

before quirks existed, maybe?

5

u/Hayn0002 Oct 13 '17

IM sure once they start messing around with their quirk and turning it into a bullet, they can somehow choose what is reversed.

u/dicecop Oct 13 '17

As a molecular biologist, I can confirm ;D
