Action may seem like the nitty-gritty of any superhero franchise , but there ’s plenty that goes on outside of all that . Punches and lasers may give the musical genre look , but it ’s the words and thought of the heroes that give stories their iconic personality and inwardness . My Hero Academiais a manga / Zanzibar copal series that celebrates this and everything colorful about the music genre , as it breed its own line of future crusaders , hit them more than just enforcers .

It just make sense that the very person that ’s teaching the Dekus and King Explosion Murders of this domain chasteness and ticker is none other than Shota Aizawa , aka Eraserhead . As a stoic , strategic flair of hero , Eraser is always dishing out wiseness across the series . Without waste too much of his fourth dimension , here are just a few of Aizawa ’s most quotable number .

“Okay. It took eight seconds before you were quiet. Time is limited. You kids are not rational enough.”

Before anything else , Shota Aizawa is a teacher . Whether thismakes smell out to you or not , he does well to embody   strict , no - falderol , nails - to - a - chalkboard didactics 101 . Knowing full well that he ’s not All Might , Eraserhead pulls no airs when assay to command and restrain his classroom . They are literally educate to spare and protect multitude ’s lives . Aizawa just understand that the gravity of the position requires an early , solid foundation .

Eight seconds may not seem like a lot of time , especially for kids to listen to their teacher . But , as devotee probably roll in the hay by now , even just a msec of responsiveness can mean the remainder between life and destruction .

“Why is everyone around me so noisy?”

This lean just would n’t capsulize Aizawa ’s inner Garfield without jot down one of his pre - coffee one - liners . And , in all honesty , lines like this are pre , during , after , and without coffee for Aizawa . He is the iconic grouch with the obscure fondness of Au that only shines when thing get dreary .

When thing are thankfully not dark , Aizawa will let everyone sleep with to be wanton when he just quetch and groans to their faces . quote like these are just some of the reasons why Aizawa is the perfect juxtaposition to a world of bright , vibrant heroes and exactly why he has a following as secure as it is .

“They’ve been exposed to the outside world… Each has grown from that experience and forgotten how to hesitate.”

This quote is equal role inspiring and haunting . As Aizawa looks to the progress of his student as they compete with other hero course , he can instantly identify the " advantage " that has decorate Class 1 - A. Initially , there would n’t be anything special that would really jut his students beyond the marks of any other hero division .

However , as evil steady leaks through the corners and targets his class , in finical , these kids are going to get a small more than they bargained for . Aizawa knows that unexpected excitement like this can really prepare his class for the future forrader , and their focus brought from that must every bit make him lofty and anxious .

“If you’re going to become a hero, you don’t have time for such leisurely events.”

Did anyone else make out that Shota Aizawa was a party pooper ? With lines like this , Aizawa sure does n’t make it easy to leave . In another entry on the " Eraserhead Erases Fun " list ,   Aizawa reminds his students that they depart being regular kids long ago .

As part of the hero course , they have already signed up to be hero and must already embody the longsighted , grueling modus vivendi . It ’s a sobering gem that glitter about as much as coal , but there ’s no denying the value that will come of it   with due fourth dimension . Without this philosophy in judgment , how else couldMy Hero Academia part become as powerful as they are ?

“This is the hero course… go somewhere else if you want to play at being friends.”

What good way to introduce the never - hatching , sleeping bag cocoon than with this iconic scene ? When this amorphous blob of zippers and polyester pussyfoot unto the screen , fan already knew that they were in for a treat . Just the sight of him communicate so much about how low - energy his character is .

It ’s with the quotation mark above that this scene covers the showtime and end of Aizawa . While he may be a slouch , he is also a grouch and one that does n’t mind spreading rough truisms from the comfort of his own quiescency bag .

“Even if they’re not physically with everyone, their presence raises the standard for the whole class. That is my class: Class 1-A!”

Aizawa may not have like Midoriya Izuku at the commencement of the series — andKatsuki Bakugo plausibly did n’t do any favors for himself — but his perception of his two problem children quickly made a 180 once he saw how committed and hardworking they really were .

His combine in the future is only blow up once he view how these two have inspired his family as a whole . give course credit where mention is due , Aizawa makes sure to hype up two of his full students while acknowledge how special Class 1 - A really is .

“Self-sacrifice and recklessness are very different concepts. But, in order for those headstrong students to learn this, I’d like for them to experience ‘death’ once.”

Ever since his introduction , fans have been marvel what the logistics were behind Aizawa ’s infamous leaning to expel total schoolroom . While it may have given him Kakashi Hatake vibes , it did seem uncanny to see him lay on the line the grade curve for his total school day . However , once fans got into his past tense , it became exonerated as to why Aizawa want to put high stakes into even the most verbose of matter .

Aizawa is far from beingthe most powerful instructor at U.A. , making him the idealistic person to mouth about limitation and laborious work . empathise the gravitational force of one ’s every action and place invokes a unassailable change in a mortal , one that is necessary for hero . It ’s how his biography switch , and it ’s exactly what these child need to learn for times of crisis .

“Shirakumo! If by any chance you’re still in there, let’s all become heroes together!”

fan already loved Eraserhead before the series went into his past times . He could ’ve coasted through the rest of the series just being the stern , sleepyhead that he was . However , because manga ca n’t always have prissy things , Horikoshi Kohei had to go andthrow some feels at people ’s face .

Not only did Aizawa have a really poignant backstory , but he is now propelled within the current story to keep open his dear , old classmate . This is a surprising act for his character , and even more bait for fans to get laid him even more .

“We look a little further ahead than everyone else.”

Aizawa may not look it , but he ’s incredibly proud of his grade . As evident within lines above , his perceptiveness and respect for his hero - in - education have only grow as the series has gone on , and he ’s only have a tougher and tougher prison term conceal that superbia .

bank line like this are a petty refreshful , as it indicate Aizawa being a small snarky and competitive with his colleagues . " Oh , your kids can do backflips . That ’s cool . But , in my class , we search a little further ahead than everyone else . "

“There’s nothing crueler than letting a dream end midway.”

Capping off this leaning is perhaps the best argument that set Aizawa ’s values . While he may be a cold person in his outside and an even cold somebody within , if one is willing to go just deep than that , one will find an outstandingly warm spot for mass come after their dreams .

While he may treat his class with an formidable , profound gravity , he does have his present moment of literal motivating . The submarine sandwich world is a coarse one — harsher than he could ever be , and , if any of his scholarly person are going to become heroes , he knows that he call for to be equal parts tough and nurture if they ’re ever going to fulfill their dream .
