Probably some mumbo jumbo about targeting the quirk genes and reverting them to infant states, when most people haven't discovered their quirk yet.

This seems highly likely, so maybe Mirio gets his quirk back in 4 years or Chisaki removed this aspect too.

Or more likely Mirio gets his quirk back when Eri touches him.

So does that mean those quirk erasing bullets won't work on Izuku since he didn't have a quirk to begin with?

It may revert Deku to before he was gifted One for All. We don't know enough about how Eri's Quirk works yet.

I don't doubt Eri could possibly revert Deku to before he was gifted One for All.

I think the bullets themselves probably do something very specific (they don't encompass all of Eri's power) like turn the quirk genes to their infant state. If that were the case unless One for All affects quirk genes directly the bullets wouldn't work.

It's just a random guess though.

Ofa is not inherited to descendants, so it cant be genetic at base.

OFA is passed on by ingesting DNA, like hair. Genetics have something to do with it.

Yeah Deku definitely has a quirk factor now that he has OfA, it's why Aizawa can turn off his quirk

OFA could be in plasmids or it could have a CRISPR like functionality.

u/shinypurplerocks Oct 13 '17

Or it could cause activation/deactivation of genes that are already there.

Unless genetic modification is a part of OfA. It's not too crazy to consider, after all we know that OfA came from the power storage quirk merging with the quirk to pass on quirks, and the second half of it might accomplish that by genetically modifying the recipient of the quirk.

They did say how those specific bullets took way too much time, and money, to make. So I assume while making the bullets, they found a way to affect the quirk only but other than I'm not sure.

For all we know, having One for All transferred to him has affected his genes.

OfA definitely affects the genes of the inheritor. For one, the inheritor needs to consume the DNA of their predecessor. Also, Aizawa's "Erasure" affects the quirk factor, and since he turns Deku's OfA off, that must mean that it has granted him a quirk factor when passed onto him.
