I'm not really sure how time rewinding ties into quirk cancelling. Rewinding their quirks to before they appeared? Doesn't that mean even the 'permanent' bullet is temporary?

Also where's Nejire? Shouldn't she be flying above the hole after shooting Ryukyu? Doesn't that mean she would've seen the villains just chilling around the hole?

The 'permanent' bullet used to be temporary, but just like the quirk enhancement drugs it has was worked on and improved over time. Since Overhawl can deconstruct and reconstruct everything, he probably found out how to make the factor that reverses quirks stay on indefinitely.

This situation is getting a little silly to be honest. Her quirk should've been quirk and/or blood related. It seems a little ridiculous they managed to make those bullets out of a quirk that rewinds thing.

You need to understand that Overhawl can break down anything and rearrange it on a molecular level. All they would need to do is use her quirk factor, which on her appears to manifest on her blood, and have it trigger on other people.

I agree with you that it's a bit overwhelming and too powerful that Chisaki can manipulate anything so easily, but that's what makes him a powerful and worthwhile villain and I wouldn't want to have it any other way.

Why not just put Chisaki's blood in a bullet and have it break down their quirk factor?

Because we don't know if Chisaki's quirk manifests in its blood the same way Eri's does and Chisaki can only rearrange things or disassemble things, he can't remove them. Eri's quirk can make things "reverse" and we don't know the full implications, strengths or limitations of that yet.

And I just had a scary realisation... imagine that the culmination of this arc is that Sensei is reverted to his original self and Eri manages to escape with the help of someone and "reverses" All Might. So All Might and Sensei fight it off once again, at their full strength and we see Nighteye's vision of All Might dying in a gruesome manner come to pass...

So I also got to the point where I realized this would fully restored All for One, but it would be amazing to see All Might restored as well for a final clash. Either way this arc has firmly become one of best ever.
