What happens to Eri at the end of My Hero Academia? Explained

Ever since her debut in chapter 128 of My Hero Academia and episode 66, Eri has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Her endearing presence and unexpected arrival into the lives of Izuku Midoriya and Mirio Togata have left everyone enamored with her.

Despite her initial appearance, it quickly became apparent that she was in peril and unable to flee from the perilous Villains. As the story unfolds, we witness the true extent of her Quirk’s immense strength. Furthermore, further information is uncovered about the Shie Hassaikai and their operations, with her being at the core of it all.

Currently, My Hero Academia has ended after 430 amazing chapters, with the students of Class 1-A now officially Pro Heroes. Despite this, there has been much speculation about Eri’s current situation. Following the 8-year time skip, Eri is happily a member of the music club and remains at U.A. where she leads a normal life, which she truly deserves.

Who is Eri in My Hero Academia?

Eri, who appears in My Hero Academia, is the granddaughter of the leader of Shie Hassaikai. When she was young, she unintentionally used her newly awakened ability, Rewind, on her father, causing him to disappear. Her Quirk was unlike her parents’ Quirks, leading her mother to fear that she was cursed and ultimately giving her up to her father.

After being assigned by her grandfather, Kai Chisaki tested and identified Eri’s Quirk, as they both appeared to possess similar abilities. However, Kai discovered that Eri’s Quirk was Rewind, not Vanish. Recognizing her potential, Kai expressed his desire for a Shie Hassaikai revival, but was opposed to exploiting Eri for that purpose. In order to prevent his boss from interfering, Kai used Overhaul to incapacitate him.

After Kai assumed control of Shie Hassaikai, he proceeded to conduct experiments on Eri in order to harness her Quirk for use as a weapon. His relentless efforts resulted in the creation of bullets containing Eri’s blood, which had the ability to strip individuals of their Quirks. Despite Eri’s repeated attempts to escape and resist, she was unable to overcome her captor until Deku and Lemillion intervened, providing her with a chance at a new life.

My Hero Academia: Eri’s Status at the End

During the Shie Hassakai Arc, Eri had a significant amount of screen time and also appeared in later arcs, playing a crucial role in the Final War Arc. She requested that Ectoplasm remove her horn and then entrusted it to Shota Aizawa, who used it on Deku to restore his arms by rewinding two to three minutes’ worth of energy.

She was determined to assist in any way possible, recalling the moment she had shared her dream with Deku and how he had enthusiastically promised to work even harder towards it.

By the time My Hero Academia chapter 430 was released, Eri had turned 15 and was still a student at U.A. High. Her passion for music remained strong, as it was the first thing that ever brought a smile to her face. She had chosen Kyoka Jiro as her singing mentor.

Eri’s Quirk in My Hero Academia

Eri’s Quirk, Rewind, allows her to revert a living body to a previous state. This enables her to reverse the aging process, heal injuries, and undo any physical alterations. As seen from her childhood trauma, her newly manifested Quirk caused her to rewind her father’s body to a point before he even existed, effectively erasing him.

The horn on Rewind’s head is the source of her power, and its size determines the level of her strength. Neito Monoma observes that it is an accumulation-based Quirk, indicating that the released power must be gathered over a period of time before it can be utilized.

Kai Chisaki honed in on Eri’s mutation, which allowed her blood to nullify a person’s Quirk by reversing its evolution before it fully manifested. This was the source of Kai’s Quirk-Destroying Drug. Aizawa determined that Rewind could also potentially restore lost Quirks, but it was limited to living beings and could not affect inanimate objects.
