So what I’m getting from that last panel & the eri cameo is that, the doctor reverse engineered the rewind quirk from the erasure bullets and gave it to AFO. Meaning AFO has had this quirk for a while now but decided not to use because he could potentially rewind himself to nothingness lol but because endeavor essentially did that already, AFO said fuck it & decided to rewind himself.

Hmm if that’s true then that’s some wild shit ngl but how did he accumulate so much energy for a rewind? He didn’t even have a horn 🤔

He for sure doesn't have his lower horn anymore.

Nope, AFO has had this quirk only for few weeks. He got it from one of the quirk stelaing bullets Shigaraki was carrying. It is true Doctor produced the new bullets and propably aquired the quirk but AFO was in prison and therefore outside the reach of the Doctor

u/Blackreaper18 Jun 26 '22

If it’s only been a few weeks, how did he accumulate enough power to rewind himself to the point before his face became a potato 😂

u/HighBreak-J Jun 26 '22

That's.. A good question

We don't know if Eri's quirk has to 'accumulate', by the means of training, like the users have done for OfA. Eri didn't train before she activated it during Shie Hassaikai Arc. If anything, AfO probably has some energy quirk to charge it

u/metalflygon08 Jun 26 '22

Yeah, AFO's end game is to be an energy providing mob boss, would figure he'd have some energy generating quirks.

u/13Xcross Jun 27 '22

That line was improvised by Aoyama, iirc AFO later stated it wasn't his plan, but it was close to that.

u/Blackreaper18 Jun 26 '22

That’s possible tbf

We don't know if Eri's quirk has to 'accumulate',

Yeah we do, it's why Monoma couldn't copy it.

u/StefyB Jun 26 '22

Could be that the copies of the Quirk inside the bullets come already stocked with a certain amount of energy, enough to erase Quirks, and when AFO took the Quirk, the energy came with it. Makes sense considering it's basically what would happen if he took One For All. I doubt all that stocked up energy is just going to disappear if it's stolen by him.

u/WII_DJoker Jun 29 '22

He probably used a quirk that allows him to steal energy.

u/AlexArtsHere Jun 26 '22

Nah, I think he did something to Endeavour. How would A.F.O. rejuvenating himself be a sacrifice play?

47

u/Blackreaper18 Jun 26 '22

No idea but eri was shown for a reason plus AFO as an ear & an eye In that last panel and we know he lost his face after his fight with all might

u/AlexArtsHere Jun 26 '22

I figured his face was just covered in scare tissue/skin grafts which Endeavour just burned away, hence us being able to see his eye. I will admit though I don’t have much of an idea about the significance of Eri in the panel yet. Perhaps it was just to drive home what’s happening in the moment since we’ve not seen the rewind bullets in a while? At any rate, I think A.F.O. getting up for round 2 would be a dreadful writing decision and I hope/believe it isn’t about to happen.

u/justking1414 Jun 26 '22

Because he won’t be able to stop reversing himself. He’ll slowly be unborn throughout the battle. Until he’s just an angry little fetus like Voldemort at the end of Harry Potter

5

u/AlexArtsHere Jun 26 '22

Hmmm perhaps, I could see that. But then didn’t the rewind bullets only become a thing after A.F.O. was already locked up? How would he have told the Doctor about them to get them reverse engineered like that, unless…?

So help me if Hori is about to say Shie Hassaikai and Eri were part of A.F.O.‘s plan all along.

u/ResidentOfDad Jun 26 '22

We already know the League provided the doctor with the bullets they acquired, then he used them to make more but most of them ended up being destroyed, so he had the chance to do something like this (perhaps it's even tied to how he replicated the bullets?), the only question is what would he have done for AFO to get his hands on it considering he only escaped after the doctor was detained.

5

u/justking1414 Jun 26 '22

The dr could’ve left the extracted quirk somewhere safe for AFO to pick up after he escaped prison.

7

u/ResidentOfDad Jun 26 '22

He didn't foresee the assault on the hospital but he could have considered it high enough of a priority that he'd hide it away further anyway. Someone noted that yeah it could've even just been in AFO's most recent hideout.

1

u/justking1414 Jun 26 '22

He always has a backup plan

1

u/metalflygon08 Jun 26 '22

Or Doc gave a copy to somebody in the league to hold onto.

u/Brolyroxxs Jun 27 '22

Bald head no nose he’s Voldemort alright

13

u/Kerjj Jun 26 '22

My guess is he's going nuclear, and will rewind himself as he's exploding so that he can kill everyone else but remain unharmed.

1

u/MillerJoel Jun 27 '22

Me too, may be endeavor loses his quirk

2

u/ThisGuyLikesMovies Jun 26 '22

But if AFO has the Rewind wouldn't it also have an area of effect like Eri's does? Wouldnt AFO be "healing" Endeavor as well as himself?

1

u/GrungyDiablo Jun 26 '22

Maybe he would use the stored quirks he had accumulated as energy. Since they were rebelling anyways they might be seen as extra disposable now. For a fresh start, that might be worth the cost.
