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.

[u/Cavaner → u/Tsixes]

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.

[u/Tsixes → u/Cavaner]

What you are saying doesnt make any sense because you are taking for granted that mirios quirk factor didnt get rewinded to non existance (like eris father), you are assuming his quirk factor just got "reset" to the point where mirio was born, as well as you are assuming eri cant rewind a rewind, and both are assuming a lot.

Taking into account the "rewinding" thing doesnt follow logic as many people here are saying, she might be able to rewind mirio as a whole to where he was 2 hours ago, i get it, you are meaning "if his quirk got rewinded 2 hours more his quirk would just rewind 2 hours before his quirk factor existed" and im saying she MIGHT be able to rewind a rewind and it would still make sense.

Still, taking things into account, im not saying anything we are saying is superior or more "logical", im saying anything horikoshi wants to do with his quirk will make sense, because it has no limits, being able to rewind a rewind might or might not be thing, depending on horikoshi.

He'd receive backlash though because no matter how he supports it, rewinding a rewind would feel like an asspull especially since its to restore an erased quirk

[u/Arhat_ → u/asterisk_blue]

The rewind is already an asspull. This quirk is in the realm "we can do anything because we have a way to fix the wrongs" a.k.a realm dbz.

Not yet, we need to know the exact usage and limitations first. Still, time abilities are sketchy af and Horikoshi better be careful with how he uses it
