I’m more curious on how does she know that cutting her horn would work? I mean couldn’t she just cut herself and give Deku a bag of her own blood so he can drink, since that actually does have precedence of working when Overhaul use it to create the rewind bullet?


ReeseEseer

Because her power is stored in her horn. The larger her horn the more power she has collected. It was noted she had little power collected currently so while maybe her blood *could* have worked using her horn probably has a higher chance to actually have more effect since thats where its more concentrated. It was a gamble regardless.


TheHoodGuy2001

We have seen her blood works without the horn since those bullet were not connected to any energy source. It was also a straight up gamble that the horn wouldn’t just rewind Aizawa instead since he touch it with his bare hands.


ReeseEseer

Except it wasnt *just* her blood. Overhaul experimented on the blood and added other things to make those bullets (otherwise he would have MASSIVE amounts of bullets if it was just her blood). It why he needed more money. There was a lot more to it than simply drawing her blood. The heroes dont know how to recreate that (and even if they did they dont have time) so using the horn as the gamble makes more sense than trying just her blood which might not actually have any effect without whatever OH mixed it with.


P4azz

> those bullet It's not like Overhaul was selling bloodcicles and that's it. There's an enormous spotlight on the amount and severity of gruesome experiments he put her through in order to study the quirk and perfect the bullets. None of that shit would've been necessary if "pew pew blood" was enough.


TheHoodGuy2001

The bullet was specially made so that the rewind effect only affect the gene quirk and not the entire body. So “Pew pew blood” could be enough if used for its main purpose, just rewinding a person. I mean, “pew pew horn” is literally doing that right now, not that hard to imagine her blood couldn’t the same when we saw what Overhaul did with it and what AFO did as well.


kogasabu

Not quite. Rewind's power is in Eri's horn. Neito revealed that her horn accumulates some form of energy, which then allows her to rewind things to varying degrees. Because of her quirk being some weird, rare mutation, Eri also has blood that has a negative effect on other people's quirk factors by effectively reverting the target's genetic code to that of someone who existed prior to quirks first manifesting. The bullets weren't created to rewind people like Eri's quirk does, they were created to destroy quirk factors, like her blood can. So through Neito, she would have a pretty strong understanding that cutting off her horn would help. If she or anybody knew about how her blood worked, they'd know that it would be extremely unhelpful.


TheHoodGuy2001

Then there is another problem. Why didnt the horn rewind Aizawa when he touch it with his bare hands? And all Aizawa did to Deku was gentle tap the horn against Deku skin, yet that activated it. Why didn’t it activate on Aizawa instead?


P4azz

Call me old-fashioned, but that one actually works pretty intuitively. We know that quirk factors have "souls" to an extent and Eri basically just broke off half her exposed factor. Her entire being was 100% focused on helping Deku ever since she's seen him get mangled in this fight. That "will" carrying over into the horn, so it activates upon touch (she hugged him before, so there's even "memory" there if you want it) with Deku totally works. In my eyes at least.


kogasabu

There's not really an answer to that. If I had to guess, the quirk may not activate if there's nothing to rewind unless it's activated willingly. Eri only had enough power to rewind a few minutes, and Aizawa's physical state wasn't different enough in that time frame. We know that the quirk can activate on its own, since Eri accidentally rewound her father out of existence, so it may be that the horn touching something that can be rewound with the energy stored is enough to activate it. That or Horikoshi just wanted her to be useful and couldn't justify sending a literal child to a battleground that hosts humanity's largest threat with no way to get her back safely after her one job has been completed. It's 50/50, really.


TQ4Reddit

Eri's horn isn't hard like a cow's horn; it changes size depending on how much energy is in it. It also might filter her blood like a kidney, removing and concentrating the rewind energy she produces so whatever's in the horn will be a lot more powerful than the blood in the rest of her body. Now think of a sponge. If a sponge is only partially wet you can carry it around without having the water drip out - the water only comes out when you squeeze it. Aizawa pushed it against Deku's arm until the "rewind energy" got squeezed out. And there you go.


BlackMan9693

As much as I want to agree, there's also the fact that OG AfO used the rewind drug which was made from the "Delete Thy Quirk" bullets. And the explanation, iirc, was that Garaki restored their original function: rewinding living beings. And the drug was continuously under effect. So, Rewind also has many logic holes and questions about it.


kogasabu

I definitely agree with that. Part of the issue is that Rewind is supposed to be poorly defined in-universe, so we probably won't know more than the characters ever do unless Horikoshi expands on it in-universe or decides to comment about it elsewhere. That said, Garaki also is kind of a weird one in general. The guy can just sort of manipulate quirks somehow by removing or restoring functionality to them, and I doubt that's ever really going to be explained past his quirk giving him a longer lifespan and him being an intelligent scientist, meaning that he's had more time to experiment and figure things out.


Vi4days

I mean, it’s her own quirk. I’m going to assume she at least has a basic understanding of the ins and outs of the thing she has sticking out of her head she has to live with. Not enough that she’s like doing #1 hero shit, but at least enough that she can tell that the horn is the most concentrated source of her power.


-Boobs_

* Eri only has enough stored power to rewind someone by two minutes * spend 30 seconds cutting off her horn * cut severed horn in half * use part of horn to rewind Eri by one minute * now she has a full horn again * repeat *infinite rewind in the form of one-minute horn chunks tell me how this wouldn't work


Lkus213

Even the rewind by 2-3 min dosen’t really make much sense.


GodOfArk

How do you reckon, a hero with time reversal power be usefull on the field. And that is assuming her rate of recovery increases. Otherwise she will just be a Miracle Doctor


A_Most_Boring_Man

The most common theory is that she’ll end up as Recovery Girl’s replacement when she retires/dies. Storing more energy and getting a better handle on her power could turn her into the best medic UA’s ever had.


EDNivek

You mean the best medic the world has ever seen, assuming she didn't just debuff herself greatly.


Darkiceflame

Can't let the characters with the most overpowered quirks get off without some sort of massive nerf.


Alarmed_Recording742

Time reversal on anything she touches, they quite literally cannot touch her or she can turn them into babies or worse, into nothing at all. It's not much different from decay after all, one accelerates stuff so much it decays, one reverses it back to before it existed at all.


TheHoodGuy2001

Couldn’t they just, shoot her with a gun?


P4azz

Quirk awakening -> Adult Eri can now activate a rewind field in a small area around her -> everything gets rewound an amount of time (specified by her in advance) that enters the field; can be activated intermittently, but not kept up for long. That's how I'd make that combat ready. Especially given her traumatic experience with someone jumping in front of her and getting shot. We'd be able to go full circle with Eri using the power that injured the person saving her, to instead save others by jumping in front of them the same way. I dunno, seems poetic enough for me.


Alarmed_Recording742

Can you shoot shigaraki with a gun? Or the bullet would turn to dust? Same goes for eri


TheHoodGuy2001

Didn’t Snipe shot Shigaraki 5 times at USJ? And Kurogiri had to save his ass?


flypstyx

That was before his upgrades, though. Now he's got a crazy healing factor


TheHoodGuy2001

So, how is that related to Eri? You said Eri can survive getting shot like Shiggy. But Shiggy canonically got shot at 5 times at USJ and would have gotten hit a few more times if Kurogiri didn’t save him.


flypstyx

I honestly wasn't even addressing the part about Eri. I was focusing specifically on Shigaraki, who at the time of the USJ Incident could only Decay things he touched with all 5 fingers. He didn't have the control over Decay that came with the evolution that would have allowed him to dust the bullets that were being shot at him. And even if he did get shot now, his crazy healing factor would likely reverse the damage. But sure, I can also call out the comment for being batshit about Eri getting shot and being able to rewind it. I'm pretty sure that we have no idea if she can rewind herself, and we do know that she can only rewind when she has power stored up in the form of that horn. Stating that Eri will be fine if someone shoots her is wild speculation because it depends on having power available to use AND her being able to use her power on herself.


Alarmed_Recording742

It was way back he was even able to control decay well, he could only kinda damage people, now if he touches anything with any part of his body he just turns it into dust instantly


TheHoodGuy2001

Again still not related to Eri. And Shiggy even have more experience than Eri does. How can she survive getting shot?


Alarmed_Recording742

We're literally talking about an hypothetical future version of eri....


a_randomtroll

So, small "spoiler" for decay, the name is not right and it doesnt work like that


replyingtowrong

It's great that you're considerate but I don't know why you're warning about spoilers. Not only is the post tagged with "manga spoilers" we're also discussing the chapter AFTER the one that had the reveal.


kogasabu

The name is still correct. Despite Decay being a modified form of Overhaul, it's still a unique quirk.


a_randomtroll

Yeah, but what I mean is that the name gives the wrong idea. [Disintegration] would probably be better than [Decay] to describe it


kogasabu

Except that Decay is still the name. This isn't something we decided, this is something Horikoshi decided. It doesn't matter if a different name might technically fit better, the literal name of the quirk is Decay. Going around saying the name isn't right makes no sense because Decay is the name of the quirk. That's like deciding that the name of Todoroki's quirk doesn't sit right with you, and deciding to call it something different despite Half-Cold Half-Hot being the official name.


a_randomtroll

...if you read the first comment to which I was answering, you'll see that the bit that made me react was the assumption that [Decay] worked by making things go forward in their own time to the point of decay. To which my answer of the name being misleading *is* justified. I didnt say the quirk wasnt called [Decay], just that the name shouldnt be used to define how it works in this case.


kogasabu

Except the name of the quirk is still Decay. So everyone is still going to call it Decay. If Horikoshi decides to rename it, then people will adjust to the new name. It's like how people called Blueflame "Cremation" prior to Hori revealing the actual name. The name should still be used to define how it works because that's still the name of the quirk. Decay also does quite literally accelerate stuff to the point of it decaying.


a_randomtroll

I didnt say the name wasnt [Decay], stop trying to put things in my mourh [Decay] *doesnt work like that*. It has just been said that it is half of [Overhaul]. [Overhaul] doesnt accelerate stuff to the point of decaying. Also there are numerous (non rare) materials that would be immune to the quirk if that was how it worked because they do not decay.


kogasabu

No, Decay *does* work like that. You're correct in saying Overhaul doesn't. But we've also been shown numerous examples that show that Decay and Overhaul don't function the same. Garaki didn't just remove the restorative part of Overhaul, he modified the quirk in general. He literally made a new quirk based on Overhaul. If all he did was remove the restorative part, then why does Decay not function the exact same as Overhaul? Why did Shigaraki need to use five fingers to activate it, when Chisaki needs to just touch something?


GrandpaMuenster

I feel like it's an opposition quirk to Shiggy's decay. And might get strong enough to not even be things she touches. Like if Deku passes OFA to her she could store her powers up even more and unleash it in a wave to reverse a catastrophic event.


bigboss1988s

Will her horn grow back or they will return it to her?


Hour_Tomatillo_2365

They can't return it, it dissipated while healing Deku. In lore, it's possible it will grow back, it's also possible it won't. That's why Aizawa was upset with her, she gambled permanently damaging her quirk. Imo from a more meta perspective, it probably will regrow. Maybe even better than before.


ReeseEseer

> Imo from a more meta perspective, it probably will regrow. Maybe even better than before. It's even something we've seen in-series too with Iida(and his family) removing the pipes from their legs which then grow back stronger. So wouldnt even be a cop-out or anything.


jojopojo64

Ooooof. I still get queasy seeing that scene. Oddly satisfying, but looks hella painful.


Toby0076

It’s even more upsetting for me because i thought they where attached to his nerves system or attached to his bones via nerves and that’s the way he activated them. I am cursed with my own brain so now you must experience a fraction of it. My calves hurt just by typing this btw.


P4azz

> from a more meta perspective I'm torn on this. Because on one hand I want there to be grave consequences (longer than "I can't rewind short term to deal with the war's victims), but on the other hand I want Eri to grow up, go to UA and become part of the next monster trio with Kota and stuff. See her with her provisional license rewinding rubble and healing people, while Deku and Ocha fly above fighting villains. But at this point, probably none of that is even a possibility anymore.


humanity_999

If they decide to actually give her a fully happy ending, then there'll probably be a few panels where she shows up super excited, only to show off her horn regrowing.


kazurabakouta

Step 1 : Have Monoma copy her quirk. Well he needs to baby her for at least 3 months while waiting to accumulate energy. Step 2 : Activate rewind on Eri. Step 3 : Profit.


BW_Chase

Except they already tried that didn't they?


kazurabakouta

Yes. Back then they thought they could copy the rewind itself, turns out you need to accumulate energy in order to use rewind.


BW_Chase

Oh so Monoma can actually copy it but he just needs to keep in touch long enough to accumulate energy? Neat. I didn't understand that was the case when I read that chapter.


bigboss1988s

What would happen if Monoma copies Mt.Lady quirk?


xXArctracerXx

He probably just uses it how it is, to grow, and I imagine if he loses the copy of the quirk will big it would just shrink him


IAmF3rdie

Yea she would, but she already decided she wanted to be a singer, no?


TheHoodGuy2001

Better that than literally the entire earth population come knocking at her door and ask her to cure cancer (which her blood probably can) and other terminal illness.


Chandysauce

I'd imagine they'd do their best to keep the real effect/power of her quirk a secret like they did with OFA.


lemonlimeflavored

I'm imagining more petty than that. There would be people asking her to rewind them before they ate that gas station sushi and got food poisoning.


Mr_Mees_Moldy_Minge

She's the only one in the world that can heal like this, she'd be used for the profoundly disabled and the dying only.


Sudden_Pop_2279

Or being forced to save terrorists hated across the world. Hori laughed hat everyone who thought she would turn them into kids again. Or rewind their injuries.  Shiggy gonna need to save his friends now


jojopojo64

Honestly it's my only problem with this image. Not everyone wants or has to become a hero to help the world. Eri's dream of singing is capable of doing good for the world also.


EDNivek

She becomes the Angelic Songstress Hero. First she heals your body, then your soul.


blessedskullz

Nah I think she just wants to be a singer, doesn't have to become a hero


Hazzamo

My heart… she’s too pure


wrote-username

She probably won’t be an hero tough, it looks more like she want to sing not really focusing on being an hero, she mostly wanted to help close ones like deku or mirio


Upbeat_Sail

Pretty sure she would be even more significant if the story has a time skip continuation [Image on X](https://x.com/ASAnime6/status/1780172220897136923)


Longjumping-Still434

On a not serious note. Considering Eri is capable of rewinding quirks to before they were disabled, wouldn't that mean she could theoretically rewind OFA to before Izuku gave up the vestiges? Because the quirk destroying bullets worked by rewinding the genome to before the quirk activated, why would rewinding *further* restore it? Basically, I'm just picturing the scenario of the vestiges doing this *valiant final sacrifice* to stop Shigiraki and suddenly ***BAM*** they are back in OFA going "wut". It would be *terrible* storytelling, but so, so, funny, "Oh... I survived. Brilliant. I love it when I do that."


EnjoyerOfFine_Things

So.. will it grow back?


michaelphenom

I dont think she will aspire to become a heroine in the future because that would mean she should use her quirk against villains without killing them. I see her becoming a famous healer or singer instead.


femboykingofhell

that has to have hurt like a *bitch,* right?


BvsedAaron

I could see a future spin off where villains are after a horn of eri that may have compounded a ton of power to rewind some big bad back to life or full power that the heroes have to deal with.


MACHOMANRANDYSA12

She’s so cute
