Where everyone has their quirks why did so many of us gravitate towards Eraser head we’ll take a look at the life of Aizawa and the fatal injury that cut beyond the flesh and carved the man we know today all information and connections made in this video can be found in the my hero academia vigilante spin-off Shota Aizawa

| Eraser head origin |
Eraser head origin since his childhood Aizawa only saw himself as an ordinary person and an ordinary person in his own words only has so much power as viewers we’ve known since its introduction that erasure is an elite-level quirk the ability to rid the enemy of a power they’ve always known and most likely rely on can quickly level the playing field and is a power any hero team would love to possess this however was not the view of Aizawa himself nor was it that of his peers and teachers during his early years at U.A. the man with one of the best quirks in the series saw himself as powerless his lack of self-confidence coupled with a lack of combat skills at the time made this true he was in a state where he was in fact powerless this reality would begin to change little by little though in the summer of his second year at U.A. during his early years at the school Aizawa was closest with Yamada and Shirakumo and a tree would grow closer due to being the only ones in their class without a work-study because of his quirks usability in rescuing battling and entertaining for Yamada better known as president Mike by most of us there wasn’t as much difficulty finding an agency leaving Aizawa and Shirakumo who were then picked up like strays thanks to an older student Kayama better known to all of us as midnight the purple revolution agency in addition to midnight added in Aizawa and Shirakumo his purple highness the pro hero that this agency was under would take on the task of working the two in two capable heroes that can one day go independent a dream that the boys and also midnight held early into Aizawa and Shirakumo time with the purple revolution agency there was a robbery taking place on the third floor of an office building on golden Street in the Tasso Emmy Award midnight was the first hero on scene followed by Shirakumo sadly though their element of surprise quickly evaporated one by using holes in his head.

| Aizawa and Yamada |
Which sure Kayama was quickly ready to pursue before being stopped by midnight showing her experience, she lets you Shirakumo know that they should help the hostages evacuate first leaving Aizawa on the ground as the final defense to stop the villain still at this time using his signature carbon-fibred capturing weapon that were all familiar with although less skillfully as I attempted to stop the villain this failed miserably and he was outsmarted by the villain who cleverly used his smoke to distract Aizawa while he then threw the safe that he’d just stolen moments earlier if it weren’t for his purple highness this incident would have ended not just with the villain escaping a possibly.

| Aizawa on Trainee |
Aizawa dying midnight and loud cloud Kayama were praised for their good decision-making and quick reaction time and Eraser head was scolded not for letting the villain escape for a slow reaction time but actually for his gloomy face and wearing his stress all over his sleeve comments that were justified by saying die heroes are supposed to give the gift of hope a way of thinking that was likely popularized at the time by almighty rain while it might not seem like a big problem is true that Aizawa gloominess and overall attitude could bring down others but even more than that they were bringing him down without a change in attitude he would never meet his potential fast forwarding later to address the literal issue that caused Aizawa to mess up during this encounter Shirakumo would be needed Shirakumo actually had goggles as a part of his hero costume something he was quick to offer died dower to protect his eyes in case they ran into the smoke villain again and they did this time however things would go different as I was able to activate his quirk stopping the smoke and then showed growth by avoiding damage once the playing field was evened out allowing Shirakumo to deal.

| Future became more clear |
The final blow this was no doubt a confidence booster and things for a while would look up the teamwork between him and Shirakumo increased his vision of the future became more clear with growing discussions of starting an agency with Yamada and shirokuma everything looked great until a week later from these talks when his greatest injury was inflicted an injury that makes the horrific incident small within the tatami award again came calls for backup a villain had gone on a rampage the first year a team on scene for backup was the Buster Union a team that due to his work study included Yamada the villain was giant and was an enemy of that size they thought it would be best to simply unleash the full might of all their quirks onto it at the same time which is probably normally not a bad idea unfortunately for them though this enemy who we later found out is named Garvey had a quirk named stock which involves absorbing attacks and releasing them at any time of course causing their plan to fail and this was no small-time villain like the majin buu clone his rap sheet included offenses like murder and property damage at the time of all this loud cloud an eraser head were on patrol in the neighborhood playing around with a local class of nursery students the students were familiar with the two so it’s safe to assume this neighborhood was either a regular Patrol spot for the two or an area they lived close to you during this playful scene.

| Smile out of Aizawa |
We not only get a great smile out of Aizawa but we hear Shirakumo encouraging him reminding him that he can achieve anything if he puts his mind to it whether that be his success in a fight running a daycare or even becoming the teacher this moment of peace however would be cut short disaster was here with a call from midnight in panic telling them to evacuate the area everything was forever changed the villain had arrived sooner than expected and while his record showed no history of being this destructive unfortunately he was now fully charged with attacks because of the earlier barrage from Buster Union so much power in his control now the villain unleashed blasting everything in sight in an act of selflessness purple Highness charged in first exclaiming that he’s there to buy time for the backup to arrive this was quickly shot down though by the villain using present Mike’s voice attack from earlier sending purple highness flying into a building with giant boulders falling everywhere and civilians still there to protect the situation looked dire in a commendable effort to protect the nursery children and their teacher from a falling Boulder loud cloud sent his clouds to catch the falling rubble leaving himself defenseless as Isiah watched him get hit in the head with a massive Boulder like all of us probably would have in this situation as our ran to check on Shirakumo but was quickly stopped once he remembered the children and their teacher were still in danger realizing that with his boss out for the count along with Shirakumo it was now all in his hands dozens of thoughts rushed to his mind what now decide think and many more until he heard a voice besides his own it was the voice of Shirakumo through his speaker on the ground cheering on I saw you got this it was then he remembered that he couldn’t afford to hesitate now and jumped into the action various things were tried delaying the explosives attacking from above for the projectiles to be aimed upward instead of at the ground and kicking the unemployed explosives upward again minimize damage these were all signs of great thinking but it wasn’t enough to stop this enemy the body was huge.

| Rocks dodging Attacks charging |
He was overwhelmed by size and power leaving area started feeling like he had nothing then again came that voice these encouraging words echoed from the speaker eraser head again charged into action this time doing damage throwing rocks dodging attacks charging into the enemy taking damage but still fighting while words of encouragement continued to echo until in one big finishing move carries ahead would defeat the gun using his own blast to deal the final blow in the aftermath Aizawa was feeling good he’d just beaten the odds and with the help of a good friend took down a villain that a pro hero couldn’t the joy would be depleted though by the realization that there were no words of encouragement the speaker was broken from the beginning he had imagined it all after this as all would see it a covered bloody scene that said enough throughout the fight he was alone his friend was already gone the rain would pour on while Yamada a Nozawa stood alone grieving the loss of their close friend one year later things had changed drastically as I was more closer to the man we know today his hand combat skills were excellent his sleeping during daylight habit had begun his facial hair had started to grow and his goggles were now like the ones.
 |
| One year later…. |
We know today above all else he’d become more serious more distant his grades at U.A. remained above average and his skills had come a long way from the start of his time at the school he would however begin to only show interest in practical battle exercises his teachers described it by saying that he’d become complacent in a weird way it was at this time we would learn that his sleeping habits were a result of solo training during all hours of the night sometimes a due gym and other times outside of school. while for Yamada while he was coping also he went about it in a different way when the time came to discuss career aspirations at U.A. as our listed starting his own agency as his aspiration something unusual because U.A. students often work a few years under already established heroes for experience to this point as I responded that he’ll only specialize in anti-villain combat so he could focus only on fighting and nothing else and also making it clear that he’s meant to be an underground independent pro hero post-graduation, Aizawa would do exactly what he planned go independent and be an underground hero from the page of various moments we can gather that not only was he independent but he was homeless and living out of a suitcase at least at a certain point it was sometime after this that he would meet the crawler and the rest of the vigilante cast it’s hard to tell what exactly was going through Aizawa mind at this time or even if he was content with his life but at the very least we know.
He was alone and doing what he had intended Eraser head would become a neighborhood hero in the location at the vigilante spin-off is based like he planned from the beginning he was a hero that avoided public appearances and anything that seemed gimmicky he wasn’t loved like other heroes and was often seen as scary likely because of the mysteriousness around him in the neighborhood was a recycle shop that areas are frequented as a part of his morning routine before patrolling in his own words stopping by there just put him in the right mood before starting his patrol in addition to being a good spot to keep his ear to local black markets and also the two workers that were there make good coffee he would visit this place so much that word around town was that it was an offshoot of his agency Eraser head would solve tons of local crimes and save a lot of people in town while interacting with the vigilante caste before he left after hearing about Yamada and midnight working at UA and also finding out that there was a position available for him as I would still hesitate to make the move until a moment that made everything clear while at his usual spot the cast of locals he often interacted with we’re all discussing turning their store into a café not just any café but a café that would be cat themed inspired by a stray cat they’d found.
 |
| Eraser head would become a neighborhood hero |
I think something about seeing this group come together and creating something fulfilled his earlier dreams of creating an agency with space for a stray cat that he bonded over with his friends this moment was special for him and cleared the thoughts that were weighing on him allowing him to suddenly announce that he’s leaving town for what would later become his job at you way at U.A. .
Aizawa would go on to be a pretty strict teacher with good intention though on paper he’s expelled many students.
 |
| Strict teacher with good intention |
But also he’s re-enroll done later after the fact a bit extreme to warn someone of their behavior by expelling them yeah maybe but that’s his style and it’s almost definitely a result of seeing his friend die with that said this is the end of the story.

Getting Started: Materials You’ll Need

Step 2: Add the Jawline and Hair
- Jawline: From the base of the circle, draw two lines downwards to create Naruto‘s jaw and chin shape.

Step 8: Final Touches
