Erasure

Erasure is a Quirk used by Shota Aizawa.

Description
Erasure allows Shota to cancel other Quirk powers and abilities simply by looking at the target.

When Erasure is activated, Shota is able to disable a person's "Quirk Factor" for as long as he concentrates on his target, rendering any Quirk affected unusable. Shota only needs one part of the target's body to be within his sights for Erasure to take effect.

Shota's hair stands upwards and his eyes glow in a bright red color whenever Erasure is in use. Its effects wear off if Shota shuts his eyes (which includes the act of blinking) or looks away from the person he's targeting.

Erasure does not affect appendages originated from Mutant-type Quirks, but it can impair their function as the Quirk Factor incorporates all the mechanisms necessary for a Quirk to work properly. Physical strength or abilities not derived from Quirks are unaffected.

Usage
Shota wears a pair of goggles that hide his eyes from view.

Whenever Shota's Quirk gets interrupted, his hair falls down to its original position, which an observant enemy can use to predict a potential opening for an attack.

Due to the after-effects of the injuries he sustained at the USJ, when Shota activates and deactivates his Quirk, there is now an interval where his Quirk must recharge until he can use it again; Shota is unable to use his Quirk during this recharge interval.
