Hi there!

I was reading through Eri's page and I kinda figured out an idea. I don't really know if anyone else came up with it, but... I think that Mirio still has his Quirk and he'll get it back.

We know that Overhaul confirmed that this special bullet he shot Mirio with was designed to destroy a person's Quirk. How did they make it? Well, they used Eri's DNA and her ability. Her ability to rewind things to their previous states. And the bullet would then target the victim's Quirk Factor. I think what the essence of Eri's Rewind used in the bullets does is that it "rewinds" the Quirk to the state before it manifested. She could probably use the Quirk to rewind one's mastery of their Quirk and make the Quirk weaker or make the user less proficient with it. The bullet uses this aspect of her power to the extreme. HOWEVER! Taking the Quirk before the point of its first manifestation doesn't destroy it. You do have the Quirk when you're born and a child. You just don't have the access to it.

That's why I think that Mirio's Quirk wasn't destroyed, but merely rewinded to the point in time before it even manifested in him when he was a kid. Let's say he manifested it when he was 5. If this bullet, FOR EXAMPLE, rewinded the Quirk to the point when he was 4, the Quirk would now age normally and one year from now, it would manifest and he would get it back!
