History
A year prior to starting his teaching career Eraserhead was called into a meeting with Best Jeanist, Manual, Desutegoro, Snipe, Thirteen, Endeavor, Air Jet, Midnight, Ingenium, and Gunhead. They were there with an unnamed police officer to speak about the unwilling civilians injected with Trigger. The officer explained that the people in question were more of victims than villains. Endeavor argued that any public use of a quirk is illegal and that they should treat them as villains and let the police investigate the backgrounds of future captures. He said this is the only way to protect the innocent while not risking themselves through hesitating every time they see a knew enemy. All Might, who was not present, had his reply to the problem delivered by Naomasa Tsukauchi. He stated that he would assess the situation at the scene more carefully because as heroes they must not bring harm to innocent citizens. This was in direct opposition to Endeavor's answer greatly angering him.

Unforeseen Simulation Joint Arc
Snipe was notified by Tenya Iida about Shigaraki Tomura's attack on U.A. High School. When he appears at the Unforeseen Simulation Joint along with the other pro heroes, he shoots Shigaraki and other villains right away and apologizes for being late.

U.A. Sports Festival Arc
He, alongside the other U.A. teachers, are in the U.A. Conference Room as Naomasa Tsukauchi informs them about being unable to find anything about the supposed leader of the League of Villains, Shigaraki, and Kurogiri. Snipe then says that they basically got nothing to go on and notes that Shigaraki will likely come after them again after his gunshot wounds are healed. After All Might analyses Shigaraki's behavior and concludes that he is some kind of "man child", Tsukauchi notes that all of the villains who were apprehended were third-rate thugs and followed Shigaraki without question, possibly because they felt attracted to his child like mindset.

Vs. Hero Killer Arc
In the Staff Room, he sees Shota Aizawa with documents and notices that it is on-the-job training time. When Shota notices that some of his class chose already, Snipe comments that it is an important event, so he hopes that they chose carefully and says that there are always some who regret their choice come senior year, with which Shota agrees.
