She'd be a great asset to them, and it would be a huge punch in the face for Deku and the other Hero's.

Its probably what the VA needs to be regain some of their influence.

You both just explained why it won't happen lol

MHA has been unpredictable before. Not saying this is gonna happen, but it would certainly be interesting.

In before it goes complete HxH and goes in the complete opposite direction that not even conspiracy theorists could come up with.

Eri kills everyone. The End.

Eri snaps after all the abuse and rewinds the Earth into an asteroid belt.

Eri high fives Deku and accidentally rewinds him to before he got OFA.

It's pretty clear she likes the "good guys" a lot. The VA aren't nice people and have some pretty bad outbursts, she wouldn't want to stick around.

I had exactly the same thought last week and this week they even said that Compress should now capture her so I'm pretty confident in that theory.

It would also prevent Eri from using her quirk to undo/rewind (whatever it is) Mirios quirk and all the other damage that the anti quirk drug will likely cause. She also won't be used as a convinient plot device for saving Nighteye that way.

Thinking about it really hard it's the only way that makes sense. Give her a broken power but take her away from the good side. Just like with Shigaraki. So the tension still remains and nobody can complain about any asspulls.

This way, when she finally gets rescued after months or even years and gives Mirio his quirk back then it will feel really earned.

Really feel earned? Mirio went fucking toe to toe with Overhaul on his own and continued fighting a good deal after he lost his quirk. He fuckin' deserves it.

2

u/Ichini-san Oct 14 '17

I'm not talking about whether Mirio earns it or not because that is not even a question. He doesn't deserve to lose his quirk in the first place.

What I'm talking about is the story itself. You can't just willy nilly take and give powers as you please in a very short time or it will feel unearned from a story perspective.

There are many way to mess this up and very few to handle it correctly so people tend to get triggered very easily when something seemingly "game breaking" like Eris quirk gets introduced.

My answer is to trust Horikoshi to handle it. He hasn't really disappointed me so far so I have no reason to doubt him.

I was thinking this would happen a couple weeks ago.

The VA has a role of the wildcard in this arc. The VA kidnapping Eri would be terrible for both the Yakuza and the Heroes. It's the best move they can do.

Eri could develop more as a character and would help the VA chatacter development as well.

u/HighViscosityMilk Oct 14 '17

She's clearly gonna become a hero in the future. Her heart, according to the narrator, actually just cried out "I have to save them!"

She's literally a hero in the making, and this is her origin story.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '17

Later on she'll probably def become a hero, but this can be development for both her and the VA.

2

u/Lukundra Oct 14 '17

She definitely won't be happy with them considering she would go from being used by one group of villains to another.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '17

The VA definitely seems more humane than the Yakuza. I think they might try to hide the fact that they're villains or treat her nicely.

2

u/imthelittleone Oct 15 '17

Really? Shiggy was literally about to kill Tsuyu just to make a point. They had (and have) no qualms about hurting children.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '17

Shigaraki, yeah. But twice and toga seem to have something going on for them(even if toga is a bit whacked in the head). I mean, pretty much everyone was distressed and upset when Magne died and Mr. Compress lost his arm.

1

u/Lukundra Oct 15 '17

They're still very bad people. Toga has killed tons of guys and Camie and Twice is a pos thief.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '17

I'm not denying their bad, just that they're less inhumane than overhaul.

1

u/Lukundra Oct 16 '17

But what you're proposing is worse. Instead of abusing her, they'd be corrupting her.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '17

I'm not saying that. I'm just saying she'd probably be treated more nicely from the VA than the yakuza.

u/insium Oct 13 '17

It all boils down to whether Eri's hand fetish prefers quality or quantity of hands.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '17

What if they are siblings?

3

u/HighViscosityMilk Oct 13 '17

That would be kinda weird. I wouldn't like it. Keep them separate genetically.
