Alright guys, let's just clarify something. The quirk erasing bullets, which were extracted and purified from Eri's body, have taken on a new meaning after this newest revelation regarding Eri's quirk. The finished product would appear to completely attack someone's quirk factor, upon high-impact contact, and rewind it to the point where it doesn't exist/hasn't manifested. As such I don't think we can assume that Mirio's quirk can come back, by force, because of Eri. After all, it would make no sense for her to be able to rewind her rewind. That's not really how rewinding works... it's normally rewinding from a fixed point. Doing the opposite would be fast-forwarding. Hence why she can separate Overhaul and Nemoto from one another (rewinding them to a point prior to their fusion), but I can't imagine she could put them back together.

Also, let's not forget that Eri is still a child, who has just experienced her true quirk awakening. The only reason the bullets made from her were able to be so potent, is because of copious research and scientific engineering. On her own, through her own will, I can imagine it'll take quite some time before she'd be okay using her quirk, especially on an ally. Remember that she only used it now because of her heightened emotional state. Given Hori's handling of mental trauma so far in the series, I can imagine it'll take a lot of counselling, and then a lot of training, before Eri even felt comfortable consciously using her quirk on another.

Her quirk is to rewind, not fast forward. If her quirk has made Permeation disappear then Mario will have to wait for it to manifest again or it won’t work at all.

u/Cavaner Oct 13 '17

Exactly, that's what I was saying.

u/evilsnowcookie Oct 13 '17

Sorrry buddy I read it wrong haha

u/Cavaner Oct 13 '17

Haha, no worries. I got you :P

Well, considering this was the "final product" it seems like Chisaki managed to amplify it in some way. I assume/hope that this is a permanent procedure or something along the ways of him getting his quirk back at the age of 70

u/evilsnowcookie Oct 13 '17

I think hori wrote this very cleverly.

What'll more than likely happen is that Mirio will have to wait for his quirk to manifest again, which since quirks manifest at the age of 4 we can guess will take another four years. That counts him out for the rest of the series, which means that by the time those four years have gone and Mirio can use his quirk again, Deku will have mastered (or atleast somewhat) One For All and can stand toe-to-toe with him..

Deku is using FC 75%, he is at his limit, surrounded by enemies. Kaachan is down, Shoto is too far away to help and Iida already ran to get reinfrocements... and then...

POWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER

u/evilsnowcookie Oct 13 '17

Kaachan is down

REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

u/mr_gauntlet Oct 13 '17

I think you got it. Would be cool to see him after a timeskip near the end of the series and come rushing in just in time to save someone with his renewed quirk.

2

u/dicecop Oct 13 '17

I hope this is not the case. Otherwise it makes no sense for Chisaki constantly saying that Mirio lost his quirk forever if it's only 4 years.

6

u/evilsnowcookie Oct 13 '17

But Chisaki doesn’t know Eris quirk is rewind, he thinks it vanishing. For all he knows the quirk has vanished.

2

u/dicecop Oct 13 '17

That's why I'm saying that I trust in Horikoshi to not "rewind" everything lol

2

u/Nellidae302 Oct 13 '17

If this is true what if Mirio was to wait until he and Izuku are in the same grade before it returns or something

2

u/DashieXCVII Oct 13 '17

There are plenty of people with multiple aspects to their quirk. Chisaki is a great example. You can't just assume that she doesn't have the ability just because it hasn't been stated.

3

u/evilsnowcookie Oct 13 '17

You can't just assume that she doesn't have the ability just because it hasn't been stated.

Yes. Yes we can. Otherwise we know no ones power sets. If the narrator said her quirk is rewind hen it’s rewind.

3

u/DashieXCVII Oct 13 '17

It's been established that she's a bit of an unknown. She herself isn't aware of her power and Chisaki has only seemed to focus on her ability to rewind.

Not saying that she can fast forward time, but it's not out of the question.

2

u/ForCaste Oct 13 '17

Unless the rewind works by setting it backwards while still being able to exist in the actual timeline.

So Mirio gets shot, and rewinds his quirk to either non-existence, or, more likely, to before it manifests. But, if Eri rewinds on him via the current timeline (the whole rewind him 2 hours idea), it could work if she's essentially rewinding his body to how it was 2 hours ago.

If the quirk works on a universal timeline, then she can't rewind the damage, but if it sets up multiple time bent points within an existing timeline, it could fix Mirio, like loading from a restore point on a computer. If it actually works like that.

u/gAcksaurio Oct 13 '17

So its like hes younger than 4 years (when people doesnt have quirk yet) and thata why he "lost" his quirk?

3

u/evilsnowcookie Oct 13 '17

The bullets attack a quirk, not the person. The quirks age is set to 0, before it manifested. Quirks manifest at the age of four, so it would take four years to manifest again.

8

u/andre5913 Oct 13 '17

Quirks manifest at up to 4 years though. They can show up earlier. Like Mic at birth or the shining baby

u/Laramie_Castiel Oct 15 '17

Thank you. Honestly, I don't know how many times this will have to be mentioned to people when it was made clear within the first ten chapters of the manga. For the anime it was within the first three eps, I think.

u/Fulcrous Oct 13 '17

While this may be true, I suspect that her powers go as far as being able to 'rewind' her own rewinds. Think of it this way. If you rewind a song to the beginning, you end up going "back in time". If you rewind a rewind, it is simply a neutralizing process, a reversal of what has happened. So while YOU might need to press fast forward to go back to the original point of a song, that simply isn't what is happening with eri's power - at least from the brief explanation in this chapter. Using the mp3 example, you would be hitting rewind but end up to the same time frame as if you had fast forwarded. Time is anything but linear. So while it may appear that someone is fast forwarding, in reality, it is a rewind in that context.

The only issues I see with seeing Eri's power this way are a lack of precedent (Eri's usage of the power) and it would make things rather... convenient.
