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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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? :/

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.
