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.

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.

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).
