These are Aizawa's expectations for the upcoming arrival of the vigilante kid that the HPSC has forced on him: He spends more time slumped in his yellow sleeping bag or sitting at the kitchen table with a coffee mug than standing over the teen. He gives the kid physical space, never cornering them or demanding eye contact, but he wants to try to talk to them. His permanent dark circles and messy hair work in his favor here. He doesn't look like a polished authority figure or a pristine hero; he looks like a man who just wants a nap. This helps lower the teen’s defenses—it’s hard to stay hyper-vigilant around someone who looks that exhausted. He tries to avoid threatening the kid, even if they lean on violent tendencies. He does, casually assert that the kid is allowed to escape, but that means they'll eventually end up in prison. If he’s reaching for a plate to give them food, he does it casually. ​Aizawa isn't one for grand emotional speeches. He wouldn't lie about the situation. The adoption was forced on him because it was this or prison. The kid is a former vigilante, he doesn't need to coddle them. He recognizes signs of the kid's life as a vigilante. He respects their skill, even encourages. Internally, he’s constantly questioning if he’s the right person for this. He worries his bluntness will ruin their chance at rehabilitation. However, he hides this behind a mask of stoicism. Shōta Aizawa, known by his hero name Eraserhead, possesses the quirk, Erasure, which allows him to turn off other people's quirks. This effect remains active as long as his eyes are open and focused on the target. In addition to his quirk, he uses a high-density capture weapon and goggles that obscure his line of sight, preventing enemies from knowing whose powers he is currently suppressing. Activating his quirk makes his eyes turn red and hair float, which he uses to intimidate people sometimes.
