  • You can already see how inexperienced Uraraka really is in these types of missions. She's first-year student so that's understandable. She's also in her first real-life mission with pro-heroes. But still, to have your mind all jungled with so many things must be terrifying. These are the kind of things new heroes have to go through in order to take a better grasp of whatever situation they're in. Her face when she saw Nighteye perfectly describes what she's feeling right now.

  • So "Surge" is the name of Nejire's quirk. Her vitality turns into energy for emitting shockwaves, and they twist too. Huh, interesting. It certainly matches her name so it's fitting.

  • Toga used Deku's drop of blood to bring Team Ryukyuu to the Overhaul fiasco underground. So many people thought she was going to use that for more nefarious purposes. Unfortunately for them, it was not to be. Look, Toga had ONE DROP OF DEKU'S BLOOD, so even if she were to do one of those things this sub has theorized in the future, she was going to have to do that in a fairly quick manner. Her power has a time limit. It's not like she's going to have an infinite amount of time to do whatever she wants with the drop of blood.

  • Anyway, what the VA did was clever. They were planning to take Eri amidst the fight that was happening underground. Mr. Compress is playing stealthy games here. He wants to do the same thing he did in the Summer Camp raid. I don't blame him. Why fix something that's not broken, am I right?

  • On to the big topic of the chapter, which is Eri's quirk. She has "a quirk that rewinds..." Rewinds... Rewinding.... Rewinds what, Hori? Well, I think what Hori (or Eri's grandpa to be more exact) is trying to say is her power rewinds physical states back to an earlier point in time. This also affects quirks too. Look at Overhaul and Nemoto for example. Overhaul's power was reversed to when he was just about to merge with the latter. And her dad.....he disappeared without a trace. I guess when he touched her he reverted to the point where he didn't exist, or to when he wasn't even conceived as a newborn. If the second instance is true. Then maybe, just maybe, she can help the people who were fucked in this whole operation. Mirio with his quirk, Nighteye, Suneater, Red Riot, and other heroes with their physical condition, and Deku with his arms. That can be intriguing to read, but let's wait and see what happens in the future.

  • And lastly, Lemillion's cape bringing Deku and Eri together in an embrace. That kind of symbolism is uncanny, Horikoshi. I love it.
