I actually can't remember how Eri's quirk works, why would loving him up stop the quirk?

because then the rewinding is working on all the damage rather than just de-aging him

It was established on-panel in the final fight against Overhaul that if you keep taking damage Eri's quirk has to keep rewinding that damage rather than rewinding you out of existence, so Deku fought Overhaul by slinging Eri onto his back and going full max 1000% power grind-my-bones-into-powder-every-time-i-move mode so the rewinding would have to constantly keep reconstituting his crushed bones instead of killing him.

It doesn't make a lot of sense if you think about it, but it was the climax of an arc so it's pretty well established.

Because the way it works is kind of nonsense. Basically, when Eri rewinds you, she reverts you to a previous state, but if you're actively loving yourself up (like Deku was vs. Overhaul) you're constantly entering a new state of being hosed up that she has to rewind you from before any actual de-aging takes place. It doesn't really make sense under normal logic, but I can interpret the anti-logic that holds it together.

That would be a good moment for Overhaul himself to join the world's BIGGEST party.



Does his thing and then immediately loses his arms afterwards

I mean I have to assume he's getting brought back somehow because he was around for the Nagant fight

Thanks everyone and yeah I can forgive the idea not making complete logical sense since it led to infinite 100% Deku and the climax of Eri's arc.

Overhaul's presence in the story indicates to me that part of the end of the series is gonna be Eri "forgiving" him or showing that she's recovered by rewinding his arms back on, which he then uses to fix everyone's major booboos so we can completely negate anything bad that might've happened. Midnight gets to be the only UA-adjacent person to die.

I believe as the fight was ending the rewind effect got strong enough that even being in 100% Full Cowling wasn't enough to stop it.

He uses his balls to attach All for One to Gigantomachia's butt. Gigantomachia then spends the rest of his life chasing his tail.

Yes, the doctor reversed engineered it from the quirk destroying bullets and he said that it will eventually cause him to vanish, which is why he's trying to hard to get to Shiggy before he's completely gone.

Considering how they've been shrugging off any attempts to damage them all this time, I can't imagine them doing any damage to actually hinder Eri's quirk working on him even now.

Oh, look! Another giant cool finisher move completely no-sold in two panels, only to lead immediately to another character's big return/move and how this will surely be what stops All For One.

Not so fast, All for Bishounen.

I'm much less annoyed by this than the Shigaraki fight because it still apparently caused All for One to de-age himself again. I'm not really sure what bullshit Horikoshi is going to attribute that to, but at least it had an effect instead of the fuckall everything did to Shiggy until Deku showed up.

I bet the next twist is going to be that he's too young now for Gigantomacia to recognize his voice.

Are there any remaining fan-favorite characters other than Overhaul/Eri/All Might who have yet to show up to unleash their Big Moment? I specify fan-favorite because that's exactly what we've been getting this entire arc, I don't expect Sugarman or Lunch Rush to have a save-the-day. But it feels like we're running low on the number of rabbits Hori can pull out of his hat to do a Not So Fast All For Potato.

You know whats funny about the pattern is that if the anime is adapted at a pace of about two chapters per episode we will be seeing back to back character introduction and no sells for like 2 months.

When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world Diabeetus.

Honestly I've been waiting for that to happen for a long time, but now I feel like it's too late to have much impact unless he and AfO do a mutual kill or the like.

I think that's just a manifestation of Eri's quirk slowly rewinding him out of existence. I agree with one of the posters above: I can't wait until they are fighting the AfO baby. :allears:
