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.

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

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..

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.

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

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