RareAcumen posted:It was bound to happen. I wish they had mini updates of Mirio taking care of Eri and her trying to work her powers so there had been a modicum of set up to it. The story would have to care about giving plot points breathing room and build for that to happen though.

tbp posted:did i hallucinate that mirio just undid his big character moment off screen with eri's powers once there was a plot reason for him not to receive ofa I don't know what manga you were reading, but this was the clear setup as soon as he lost his powers. We were all waiting for it to happen, it was just a matter of when. Although you start questioning why Eri doesn't do obvious things like turn back time on All might or Eraser or anyone who's been injured whenever her power lets do it. She could literally fix anyone if she wanted to

It's limited by her horn, and presumably that also sets a limit on how far back she can rewind something (bigger horn = farther probably)

Whether it's executed poorly or not is another matter entirely

Pretty sure they did establish why Eri doesn't fix everyone - she has to stockpile energy for her quirk to work and it took months for her to have the energy to do it for Mirio. Depending on how long it's been since then (I don't remember), we might see her get one more use out if it before the manga ends, but that's probably all.christmas boots posted:It's limited by her horn, and presumably that also sets a limit on how far back she can rewind something (bigger horn = farther probably) She did erase her father from existence the first time she used it so I'm not sure she needs more energy for more time but it's possible. Either that was all the energy she'd had stockpiled up since birth that just unleashed at once or she just has to accumulate enough energy to activate it and it'll go from there until she stops it.

Would make sense for it to be bigger= longer amount of time but folks like Erashead and Mirko were only injured very recently. It would surely not require much chargeup for that. She was turning back the clock on animals already in her practice, it's not much of a stretch for them at least

Reversing time on a lizard is probably easier than grown human. Having said that, I'm willing to predict that Eri will use it on one more person before the manga ends, whether that'll be Eraserhead or Deku or even reversing Shigaraki until he loses all his new powers. Probably won't be All Might though. That'd really undercut the whole point of the story.

Sad to break it to you but she's going to keep using it on All Might, Deku and Mirio at the end of the manga, effectively making the three of them immortal as their lifespan keeps suddenly extending weeks at a time till she has a breakthrough and can do more.

The issue was that it was clearly setup to be a plot point that was just done off screen instead of you know, in the actual Manga. I've said it before but the Mirio reveal was when I think the manga switched into the speed running 'tell not show' style we've had since. No build up to anything, just instant unsatisfying pay offs in a few chapters.

obviously the Mirio reveal is more significant but the funniest rush job was Compress offhandedly revealing that he's the great great grandson of the bandit king, compressing a chunk of his own rear end and then disappearing from the narrative entirely.

I actually completely forgot Compress existed, which makes it a very successful disappearing act.

Maybe Eri will rewind the plot and Geten will get to do something. Maybe they'll let him beat Momo but feel like he lost.

An important and climactic moment happens where Eri has to do a major rewind. Meanwhile, Momo is off in a fight happening at the same time and just as she wins...

Blueberry Pancakes posted:I still can't believe Dabi and Geten didn't team up to balance out the former's self-destructive firepower. It was right there. I'm sure we'll eventually get a SHoto vs Dabi/Geten combo but way way too long after either character needed something to do and probably with Bad Dad getting thrown into the mix so the whole Fire/Ice vs Fire and Ice bit doesn't actually work. And like every geten fight it will happen off camera minus 2 panels.

Rewinding All Might would just leave him healthy, wouldn't it? He doesn't have OFA any more. At most he might be able to sustain his muscle form echoes but that seems more like he was able to flex up so hard for so long that he's still sort of able to do it. He'd just look ripped, he wouldn't be the Hulk any more. I mean, that would still be a reward for the guy, but he wouldn't be able to just jump into the battle.

I would guess that it wouldn’t create a duplicate quirk but who knows? Incidentally you’d think it would rewind memories too

(now from a narrative stand point that's obviously never going to happen, but that might be due to never being rewinded, not because it wouldn't work) OFA on the other hand is transmitted from person to person, and while it's not possible NOW, plenty of people had OFA and a regular Quirk. My read is that if Eri had healed a busted-up Nana who had passed on OFA to All Might already, she would have had her original quirk and maybe the 'embers of OFA' stuff going on.
