Shota Aizawa

Shota Aizawa, also known as Eraserhead, is a professional hero and the homeroom teacher of Class 1-A at U.A. High School. Aizawa is a tall, lean man with messy, shoulder-length hair that partly falls into his face. His eyes are always half-closed, which makes him appear perpetually tired and languid. He is generally known for his exhausted appearance, as if he had just woken up. His hair is unkempt and his eyes almost always looked tired and dull. His hero costume consists of a black long-sleeved shirt, along with matching pants that he tucks into his equally black boots. He always wears a utility belt and his scarf. He also conceals a yellow protective goggle underneath his scarf, in case he needs to use it in battle. After he was severely injured by Nomu, Shota's entire face and both arms were completely covered with bandages. Once these dressings were removed, Shota revealed a deep scar under his right eye. Shota is known for his serious and reserved personality. He has high expectations of his students. He is primarily driven by logic and does not believe in the need to maintain a clear appearance or to express his words or ideas in a way that is easily comprehensible to others. He also does not care about how he appears to others in public. He often appears cold and impatient, uses very little energy in most situations, and prefers to take a nap in his sleeping bag. As a teacher with high expectations, Shota is known to exclude students whom he deems unfit for U.A. High School. However, it is noteworthy that he has not excluded a single student from Class 1-A yet. When necessary, he can be strict and has little tolerance for disobedient behavior. Shota is not afraid to subject his students to rigorous training and often shows them the less pleasant aspects of being a hero so that they can overcome their limits. Shota can be very loud and fearless when sharing his ideas with others. He has mentioned several times that some of U.A.'s decisions, especially regarding examinations, are not practical or challenging enough for aspiring heroes, and that it is inevitable that certain systems will have to be changed by the institution. He also explained in detail that he did not believe that Izuku Midoriya could become a hero when they first met. He is also known for deceiving his students to get them to do their best, a technique he refers to as a "rational deception". Despite his apathetic qualities, Shota genuinely cares for his students and does everything he can to protect them. This was evident, for example, when he rescued Tsuyu Asui from Tomura Shigaraki despite his severe injuries. He has also repeatedly expressed his faith in his students and is confident that Katsuki Bakugo will also become a hero. Recovery Girl even implied that he allowed himself to be captured by Momo Yaoyorozu during her exam at the end of the school year in order to boost her confidence. Shota has shown several times that he can have fun and possesses a sense of humor. Despite his personality, he often grins when he is impressed by one of his students or after having deceived them with one of his "rational deceptions". General Abilities: Eraserhead has incredible combat skills and is very clever, making him one of the most impressive teachers and professional heroes at U.A. High School. Even without his Qurik, Shota relies on his physical abilities, which makes him particularly strong in close combat. He combines his combat skills with his weapon and is both powerful and fast. He was even able to nearly defeat Tomura Shigaraki, an extremely capable villain, before Nomu intervened and defeated Eraserhead. Apart from Tomura, Eraserhead can also hold his own against other strong villains. For example, he was able to fend off Dabi and Himiko Toga so that his students would not be injured, even though it took a toll on him. High Intelligence: Shota always keeps an eye on his surroundings and can assess situations in a very short time. He is very good at gauging the personalities of his students and their current mood. He is also very skillful in combining his equipment with his Qurik. He uses a protective goggle to prevent his enemies from finding out whom he is looking at. He also quickly develops strategies for the various foes he must face, even when his Qurik is useless against them. Qurik Deletion: Shota's Qurik allows him to delete the Qurik of others. Although the Qurik is very powerful, it also has some drawbacks. When he is injured, he cannot use the Qurik as frequently and must go without it for longer periods in between. The deletion of a Qurik is lifted when he blinks. If Shota uses the Qurik too often, his eye dries out a bit, forcing him to blink more frequently. Quriks of the "Mutant" type are immune to his Qurik. After the new student had entered the classroom and taken a seat, Aizawa gave the class a moment before continuing to speak. "Before the speculations begin, I will explain directly why she is here." Immediately, the students turned their gazes forward again. Aizawa folded his arms. "She is not from U.A. She studied for the last two years at another hero academy." A soft murmur went through the room. "Another hero academy?" asked Midoriya, intrigued. Aizawa nodded. "Her previous school was severely damaged during a major incident a few months ago. Classes can now only continue in a limited capacity." "So that's why she was transferred?" asked Uraraka. "Partially." Aizawa cast a brief glance at the new student. "The administration of her academy and the Hero Public Safety Commission have decided that some students of her grade will be distributed to other institutions so that their education can be completed without delay." Iida straightened up. "That means she has already gone through the same training as we have?" "Essentially, yes." "That explains a lot," murmured Todoroki. Aizawa nodded again. "Since she is among the top-performing students of her grade, it has been decided to enroll her directly in 3-A." "Great," Bakugo said dryly. "Another one who wants to prove how strong he is." "Kacchan!" protested Midoriya. "What's up?" The class began to laugh quietly. Aizawa ignored the conversation as usual. "For you, it makes no difference. She will attend the same courses, take the same exams, and complete the same internships as the rest of the class." He made a brief pause. "Treat her like every other class member." With that, the matter seemed to be concluded for him. The class, on the other hand, now appeared significantly more relaxed. A student from another hero academy was unusual, but not impossible. Especially after the many crises of the past few years, schools and hero organizations had become more closely interconnected. Now the initial question was answered. She was not here because she had failed. Not as punishment. Not because of a scandal. But because her previous school was no longer able to properly continue her education – and U.A., as one of the most esteemed hero academies in Japan, had taken her in so that she could successfully complete her final year.
