It's shrine maiden, not shrine maid!
Mirio is way too drat cool, and I don't know why I wasn't expecting Overhaul to use his quirk that way but holy poo poo.

I don't see how Mirio gets shot considering how telegraphed this all was.

I wonder if Eri is literally not Overhaul's daughter and he made her with his quirk or something. His quirk is basically blatantly like FMA style alchemy, so making a homunculus of sorts would seem like the kind of thing he could do with it.

ive been thinking the thrust of this arc might be "mirio was a perfectly valid candidate for ofa but that doesnt make midoriya getting it the wrong thing either"

That would support the theme that's been going on of having a single hero be some symbol is a bad idea, and that the world needs more that one person to do the job. Giving Mirio One For All, how much would that actually boost him up? He'd be able to punch real hard but he already prefers finesse to pure power. He'd be better, but not by much. Certainly much less of a boost than it is for Deku. Better to have two real strong heroes than a single stronger one.

This fight has been a little easier to follow that some of the ones beforehand with incredibly busy chapters. Also Mirio is great and capes are cool, screw The Incredibles.

I'd be very surprised if Fallout Boy dies but I think the manga and horikoshi as a whole would benefit from it happening.

The framing of that last page makes me suspect the same.

This was an incredibly cool fight scene, glad others think it's cool too.

...what happens if Mirio deactivates his quirk while something is inside of him, as opposed to when he's inside something else? I'm actually assuming that when he gets shot out of an object it's because the mass of the object is high compared to him, so an object with small mass might get shot out of him.

What I'm saying is, maybe he can fire the bullet back if he times it right.

I assume anything inside him counts are part of him. Otherwise he'd be spilling undigested food around. Ew!

Same really.

E: I'm just thinking it won't happen because how badly it'd gently caress Eri up, having hope for the first time and having it utterly dashed

Yeah, I think you're right. I'm leaning more towards the first possibility, from the continual shots to her watching Mirio fight for her.

yea I could see that happening since it'd force mirio into a really bad situation

I don't see him dying tho. he could lose his quirk temporarily like suneater did, but at the end I think mirio and deku are gonna save eri together

I think that bullet is laced with serum that can permenantly "destroy" a quirk and it's going to hit Mirio

Yeah it's totally the Qurik smashing bullet why is no one mentioning that, whoever is hit with it won't die. Hitting Eri would be great tbh

Yeah that's exactly why I think she's gonna go for it. She clearly hates her Quirk and doesn't wanna see Mirio get hurt.

Oh, poo poo.

What if it hits her, permanently destroys her quirk, and then Overhaul just immediately stops caring about her? "Fine. Take her. She's no use to me now." Then Mirio technically "wins" but loses in every way that matters.

Then it solves the anti-quirk master-plan and the heroes win by default! :v:

What? That would literally be a perfect victory for Mirio. He'd have saved Eri, gotten away safely from Overhaul while simultaneously completely destroying the villainous plan. Shigaraki kills Overhaul later. All loose ends tied up (except Shigaraki has FMA powers now too).

if the quirk smashing bullet is made from eri's quirk can it actually remove hers? it's gone through some refinement process but if it's still hers at the end of the day I'm not even sure it'll do anything to her

Pretty sure chronos isn't even aiming at mirio. He's aiming at eri. Hit her with one of the temp bullets - it still kills her, but mirio loses his reason to fight.

well if he's aiming at eri then it'd force mirio to take the bullet instead of letting it phase through him, so that'd be kinda clever actually

Shigaraki doesn't have AFO yet so if he kills Overhaul (the person) he can't take Overhaul (the quirk).

That said I also expect Overhaul to die to Shigaraki, without any attempt made to take his quirk even.

And yeah, Eri is really in danger here because, as we've seen more than once in this chapter, Overhaul is perfectly willing to hurt her, because then Mirio has to choose between letting her die (or stay dead, since he can revive people apparently) and not stopping Overhaul, and I'm pretty sure Overhaul is counting on him doing the latter to save Eri (or just being so stunned that he is left open and gets killed immediately afterward).

Also, clearly Overhaul's not an FMA character, because he's been pretty casually performing human transmutation without consequences. Or he has a philosopher's stone, I guess.

He'll take the bullet and then phase it through him in some other direction.

if it's a quirk disabling bullet, he can't do that either. he'll just get shot full stop

redirecting a bullet that's inside of you seems like it'd need even faster reaction time as well

The catch with Mirio getting dequirked is that Deku and Co have to catch up because Overhaul can't be officially seen there for his alibi. Overhaul can't let Mirio live, even if he gets permanently dequirked and his remaining goon KOs him.
