This was asked by someone in another website but seems to have limited
answers, or at least not enough to satisfy myself, so I am asking here.

Since Eri can, correct me if I'm wrong, rewind a person's body, can Eri also
rewind a dead body back into a living one?

Can Eri's quirk bring back the dead?


As far as I know, there has been no event yet in the manga where Eri was shown
to have reverted a dead person back to life.

What we know is that:

  * Her quirk can only affect a person's physical state, as mentioned by Aizawa in **Chapter 161**
  * Her quirk can erase a person's existence completely, as mentioned in **Chapter 156** , when her father accidentally touched her

Personally, this is still vague. For example, does a person have a soul?
Because if he/she does, will the soul alongside the body be also affected?
What is only known is that her quirk can only affect the physical state of
those she is in contact with or within her vicinity. There is a possibility
that, if a person does have a soul, it can also be affected, _unless the manga
dismisses it entirely_. Is there a guarantee that if a person has a soul,
would his/her soul still be near its physical body upon death? Near enough to
be affected by her quirk?

However, assuming that a person does not have a soul and death is just another
physical state of the body in the _My Hero Academia_ world, then
theoretically, she could.

There are still much to know about her quirk that we can only speculate what
could be or could not be possible. As far as I know, that manga has yet to
clarify this.

Since human memories are stored physically, it depends on if Eri's quirk would
also rewind that person to also have those stored memories which would
collectively make a person, or if the body would be rewinded to before death
but the mind would be gone.

I'm not sure because I don't think there has been any evidence on which one is
correct though

It's possible, but I'd assume that if Eri did happen to resurrect someone,
they would probably be a body with no soul unless her quirk can resurrect the
mind.

I have a small theory that's probably not accurate, but the heroes & villains
in _My Hero Academia_ are able to power up as I've seen with Toga. So, if Eri
powers up, it (might) allow her to bring peoples' souls alive with the
original part of her quirk, which is turning back time on a person's physical
state.
