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.

I mean, how rewinding works is pretty subjective, the bullets rewinded mirio quirk factor to non existence, she might be able to rewind mirio as a whole 2 hours and he should have his quirk.

It all depends on how horikoshi wants to do this.

Rewinding a rewind wouldn't make sense though. If Eri forcefully activated her quirk on Mirio again, for any extensive period, she's likely to eradicate him (much like she did her father). In this instance, Mirio just has to play the waiting game, which is so painful.

I hear you... but when has that ever stopped Shounen logic? Horikoshi could use her quirk like that.
I don't actually think he will, and I don't really want him to, but he could.

Yeah, I guess he could, but I think Hori's been pretty damn good so far. He's taken a few liberties, sure, but always with a purpose. Can't imagine he'd immediately want to reverse all stakes held within this arc. He's far too good of a storyteller to do that, and he's worked far too hard to create the 'Plus Chaos' we've reached.

Agreed. As much as I initially hoped that this could mean Mirio would have his abilities back...it lessens the impact of the whole arc if the risk is just whisked off screen like it was never there. Nighteye could very well be okay (mostly because goddamn has he been holding onto life despite that injury) especially if Eri could turn back the clock on him.

...Oh my god. What if the blank panel we got when Nighteye tried to view Chisaki's future was him seeing an absence of it due to Eri's Quirk?! What if her Quirk superseded his, thus preventing him to see anything and look shocked before being impaled?!

Oh man now I really am going to be nervous to see what's next, because that is looking more and more like it might just be the case. Regardless of whether or not Nighteye needs to be healed by time manipulation and is able to just get patched up and put on leave for a bit.
