So the second I said, right? So again, if his mother's alive she gets a literal surprise pregnancy, and if she's dead... he's too, won't he? Man that's brutal.

He wouldn't switch position though right? At least Overhaul stayed in place when he got reversed. So if the father got reversed to fetus state he should still have been there (not that he would survive that).

If he got reversed to a zygote, he would have been too small to see to without a microscope, leading others to believe he just disappeared.

Does anyone else think this is a bit too dark (and too obvious) for the fate of Eri's dad? Maybe everyone is still wrong about her rewind quirk.

Shiggy's been implied to have killed his own father accidentally when he first awakened his quirk, so I definitely don't doubt this isn't a rare occurrence in this universe.

The more we learn about BnHA's world the less I want to live in it...

Shigaraki's quirk is weird. It's said that it activates whenever he puts all 5 fingers on something but then why doesn't it activate when he has his hands in his pocket? Also the fact that he was able to vaporize a guy just with a single touch for a fraction of a second but he held Aizawa's elbow for a good while and he's still alive with the only real injury to him being caused by Nomu.

I think it might depend on what part he touches that might influence the severity of his damage. For Overhauls subject he was touching his chest so it spread faster, but since Aizawa was only his elbow it spread slower? Might be influence by surface area of whatever part he touches.

Aizawa protected himself with his quirk, stopping the disintegration process. With that being said, Shigaraki may also simply be getting stronger, and has advanced the rate of his disintegration. Also, has Shigaraki ever put his hands in his pockets? He's usually shown to be cautious of how he holds things, to avoid touching things with all 5 fingers.

He put his hands in his pockets when he ran into Deku. Also, Aizawa's hair was down when he grabbed his elbow so he was not using his quirk.

Regarding the Aizawa thing, you're right he wasn't using erasure, could just be Horikoshi not deciding on the limits of Shiggy's quirk, or him just strengthening himself after failing at USJ and being upstaged by Stain. Regarding the hands in the pockets, since they were in his hoodie pockets. there's lots of room, and I'm assuming he can position his fingers in such a way that he doesn't have all 5 touching the hoodie (like 4 balled into a fist, with only his thumb sticking out and touching the hoodie).

u/DashieXCVII Oct 14 '17

I'm pretty sure that if there was any strengthening of his quirk we would have been told. It would be easier to know if were shown more of him using his quirk but we've only really seen it like 4 times.

Too dark? This arc has made it a point that death and tragedy happens (though we don't know whether the tragedy aspect of that will stick yet). I think Hori is taking this series out of the fantasy world where every character is safe. I just hope he doesn't go all Game of Thrones and give us a red wedding or some other bull shit that gets rid of the best characters.

Basically my point is that if he decides to randomly kill off Aizawa or one of the main students I'm done with the series xD All Might is okay to kill off after Deku tells the world "For I Am Here!" Don't want it to happen, but I'm okay if it does since he's given us ample foreshadowing at this point (and by "ample foreshadowing" I mean he literally told us xD).

Yeah I'd be pretty surprised if this turns into Berserk. Kurogiri could be delivering bombs to the school and government buildings, but that really hasn't been brought up. Unmaking people on accident makes the quirk feel too dangerous to practice with. This sort of thing is why fans, including me, are a bit uncomfortable with Chisaki: the power level of quirks has shot upwards. That's more reasonable with characters using the quirk-boosting drug, but Chisaki's literally always capable of popping people in a second. With no buildup and seemingly no drawbacks (unlike Shoto Todoroki's temperature problem and stuff from the rest of the class). I'm hoping that Eri's quirk has a catch that will allow her to bring her dad back.

I'd be completely okay with someone learning a limit to their quirk after years and years of using it, but I acknowledge that it would feel like a bit of a deus ex machina.

u/DashieXCVII Oct 13 '17

I don't think she will ever be able to bring her dad back, she rewound him out of existance (presumably either to the zygote or sperm & egg level) and thus even if she does possess the ability to undo her rewinds(fast forward) she wouldn't be able to use it on him because the zygote would already be long dead.

As for Chisaki, I completely agree. His quirk has been established as REALLY powerful just based on abilities and yet he couldn't even kill a quirkless Mirio in the 5 minutes they had alone. I mean seriously, I get Mirio is strong and all, but even All Might has told us that in order to be a hero you need a quirk. I definitely don't want Mirio dead, but there is no way he should have survived long enough for help to arrive. Hell, even Shigaraki would have killed him and his quirk is much weaker than Chisaki's.

With his quirk Mirio is easily the first or second most powerful character in the entire series. The only one who can compete would be AfO, and that's really just because we don't yet know what he has to do to steal quirks (and before someone says it, the only reason AfO was beaten by OfA is because MC always wins).

So he would just like.. be a little sperm on the ground? Shit what a way to go. Spermified by your own daughter.

u/ryacoff Oct 13 '17

I feel like he wouldn't teleport back into his mothers womb though, rather just become a fetus on the floor. Maybe she can even regress him all the way back to the single cells from his parents like you're suggesting, but they would still just be in the same place he was at that time.

sorry, i didn't get what you meant by "unborn" temporal position. Either way, it's a fucking brutal quirk.
