So If Aizawa’s Quirk Is Using An Electromagnetic Field To Inhibit Quirk Use, I’d Like To Imagine

So if Aizawa’s quirk is using an electromagnetic field to inhibit quirk use, I’d like to imagine that Denki is actually immune to Aizawa’s quirk.

The Science Behind Erasure

The Science behind Erasure

-it's actually ingenious!!

SO recently I wondered....if Aizawa does hero work after hours...does that mean he also has increased night vision?? Because it wouldn't makes sense for a hero who relies on his eyes to work at a time when he can't see....right?

(this led me on a scientific deep dive because I am a huge nerd.)

As we know, Aizawa's eyes light up (red) when he activates his quirk. It just so happens, red doesn't glare like other colors of light do. This means red light makes night vision easier. Why? Because your pupils don't need to re-adjust between the light source & the dark around you! This reduces eye strain & keeps your field of vision clear & consistent at night, while still illuminating your path!

Simultaneously, red light is difficult to see at a distance so it'll help keep your position safe from possible attackers. This is why military flash lights are usually red!

So YES!... Aizawa's quirk can improve his night vision... By acting like a red flashlight! But that's not all!

The Science Behind Erasure

Then I started thinking of HOW his quirk works...He stares at someone, his eyes glow red, his hair floats...and somehow the enemy's power stops working??

As we know, Erasure deactivates the enemy's quirk gene. This happens when Aizawa glares at them. But HOW can he deactivate a gene by only seeing the outside of the body? Especially since Erasure doesn't erase physical mutations??

Turns out, red light has a longer wave length than other colors, allowing it to penetrate the body more easily! In fact red & Infrared light (invisible to humans) is often used in medical imaging to detect things like veins and blood vessels beneath the skin.

The Science Behind Erasure

Simply put Aizawa's quirk penetrates the body kind of like an x-ray. The reason we can see his eyes light up, and NOT the target being illuminated( like the picture on the left below)?? It's because he likely also emits red light that crosses over into infrared spectrum. So the red light that actually enters the body is invisible to the naked eye.

The Science Behind Erasure

However real x-rays fall on the opposite side of the light spectrum under Ultra violet light. They not only enter but pass through their target, So to be clear Aizawa probably does not have x-ray vision. You may have also heard of Infrared in terms of night vision goggles. Aizawa likely does not have thermal/night vision either. His eyes only EMIT visible red light which allows him to see better in the dark & Infrared which enters the body.

So while Aizawa's glowing red eyes may at first seem like a meaningless, but cool, feature of his quirk, it's really the tell into how erasure works!

However, glowing red eyes only tell us how aizawa's quirk REACHES the gene, not how he switches it off! So how does he do it?? With an electromagnetic field! The light spectrum is a small part of the larger electromagnetic spectrum & the only part of it visible to the human eye!

The Science Behind Erasure

So, how do y'all know I'm not just making this up?

Because his hair floats!

What's the most familiar electromagnetic force humans encounter on a daily basis?--- STATIC ELECTRICITY! When aizawa switches on his quirk he essentially becomes a cat being rubbed with a balloon! The carbon nanofibers in his capture weapon conduct static electricity so that floats too!

The Science Behind Erasure
The Science Behind Erasure

Aizawa's Erasure works by emitting an electromagnetic field, which like the infrared light, penetrates the body of his target! Now that we know how his quirk reaches the inside of the body, the question is how does it disrupt the quirk function?

As it turns out, electricity can be fired at DNA to switch Genes on and off in real life! So Erasure specifically targets the quirk gene and immobilizes it temporarily with electricity!!!! That's crazy!!!

Since we know Aizawa can't erase the quirks of heteromorphic types it's safe to assume it's because physical mutations effect more than one gene & Erasure specifically targets a single quirk gene.

The Science Behind Erasure

If Erasure got into the hands of AFO it could easily mean the end of the world, or any one who apposes AFO for that matter. Sure AFO could use Erasure as Aizawa does, but he could also scientifically manipulate it to target genes OTHER than the quirk gene. Meaning he could kill you, or even make your body fall apart, with just a look.

Congrats you made to the end! You now have a PHD is Shota Aizawa.

Are there any fics where Katsuki is related to Muscular? There absolutely need to be if there are not. I never thought about it before, but it makes to much sense.

Summary:

Shouta was a man on a mission, he had to find the lead singer of the band he saw on Saturday night so he could propose to him. If only he didn't have to deal with Nezu making him teach with the Number 3 Pro Hero Dekiru. Spotlight heroes are the freaking worst!

---

“So I was thinking about where you should take me for dinner after I win…” Dekiru started. Shouta was going to ignore the obvious provocation, but there was something different about the hero’s voice. It lacked the distortion effect from the mask. Shouta let his curiosity get the better of him and looked over at the hero, wanting to see the look on his actual face when Shouta told him exactly where he’d be eating dinner tonight, only to be struck dumb by what he saw. He said the only thing that came to mind, and ended up saying it three times before he finally found the words to say anything else.

“Oh… fuck me.” He’s so hot!

“Oh. Fuck me! Oh crap, I just lost!

“Oh! Fuck me.” OMG I called the man of my dreams a circus monkey and told him to quit working with me!

I really think people have forgotten just how bad things were under the Trump Administration. Literally every day there was news about some service being cut or someone terrible appointed somewhere they shouldn't be or what have you. He constantly flirted with WW3 and military dictatorship. It was such a blur of badness that there aren't big standouts for people to point to to make him "the XYZ president." it was everything. all the time. Why do we not remember this.

Summary:

Pro Hero Dekiru keeps his personal identity a secret, so that he can go out in public without being recognized. Tonight his band is playing at a bar.

Pro Hero Eraser Head, and professional introvert Shouta Aizawa has been dragged out of his warm bed to go see his nephew Hitoshi Shinsou's band play at the same bar. Aizawa doesn't know it yet, but by the end of the night he's going to fall harder than the big jerk harassing his nephew.

Staring at what had just happened, Oboro found himself at a loss for words. “That was…”

“...So fucking hot,” Shouta said, completing his friend’s sentence.

Shouta had seen a lot in his career as an underground hero, but he had never seen something like that. Not only did the man manage to sneak up on him, but then he expertly took down a very large pro hero without any apparent quirk usage. Shouta was certain that he had found ‘The One.’

100% this and so much more.

Hey, I was wondering what your opinions/feelings about bakugo were?

No stress to answer he’s kind of a bleugh character to me, me makes me ):. And I always enjoy reading about people’s different opinions on different characters. So I was wondering about yours.

oh my god.... its been long enough since the last time i've made a bakugo bashing post that i now have followers who don't even know.....

i apologize for my failure, beloved anon, here's a short summary of my issues with bakugo and why i hate him:

bakugo is, canonically, a bully. He explicitly harasses multiple people he considers weaker than him, not just Midoriya. (Though, ofc, as the POV character, Midoriya's treatment is the one we see the most often, and is by far the worst offender.) I do not like bullies. I do not like reading about them, and I find these characters pretty difficult to sympathize with, especially since we SEE the active fear and pain he puts midoriya through in incredible detail multiple times.

bakugo actively makes the character writing of everyone else in MHA worse just by existing. Every time he screams at someone, hurts them, or is generally an asshole and no one else around him comments on it or does anything to stop it (they way absolutely all of them should!! Some people have the legal responsibility to intervene, like the adults and teachers, some are characterized as hating bullies like kirishima, and all the other students are the type of people who would want to become heroes and help people/stop violence... so they should absolutely be taking these opportunities to help people and stop violence) they become accomplices and enablers. Standing by and watching and laughing it off as "there goes bakugo again" while people are Physically Hurt. As a side note, i think if it wasnt for bakugo (and the many instances of Aizawa not stepping in to stop him from hurting people) is why we see so much aizawa-bashing, because it paints him and all his other actions in a bad light. similarly, this negatively affects just about every other characterization we see, making everyone else look dumb as a brick at best and actively enabling bakugo at worst.

while there are some parts of MHA that are genuinely funny, most of the attempts at comedy are bad attempts at slapstick, specifically centered around bakugo hurting people. besides the fact that i just dont find a bully unapologeticly hurting people and facing no consequences funny, my issues with this are mostly outlined in the point above, but also the one below, because of-

bakugo's terrible "redemption arc". he starts out as a cruel, selfish, arrogant bully. ideally, if we were trying to redeem him, we'd want to slowly work to break down those traits over time and have specific instances where we show him treating people differently than he would've at the start of the story, and then make that change consistent? seems pretty obvious, right? well, apparently not, because the narrative loooves to giving him Big Emotional Moments (esp centered on/with midoriya which PISSES ME OFF LEAVE MY BOY ALONE*) and insist that hes such a changed person... and then cut to him beating people up for a gag. and like, yeah, i know the gags arent supposed to be taken seriously, but they are still actual moments that happen in canon after the point where his character arc would've needed him to grow past that behavior.

which brings me to my next point: the narrative has no idea what it wants to do with bakugo. it seems pretty clear to me that at first, bakugo was intended to be the horrible childhood bully that midoriya eventually grew stronger than and moved past- a character for midoriya to pit himself against, compare himself to, and eventually leave behind. but then for some reason i will quite literally Never understand, bakugo began consistently topping fan favorite polls, and then the writer was forced to give him a more active role (either that, or his role wasn't particularly well thought-out in the first place). now hes stuck in limbo, flip-flopping between "comedic relief", shoe-horned in emotional moments, and even more shoe-horned in moments where he gets to step up and save the day so the bakugo stans have cool moments for their fan edits.

side note- IM SO TIRED OF THE WHOLE STORY BENDING OVER BACKWARDS TO KISS BAKUGO'S ASS. he has plot armor thicker than a BUILDING, his actions are constantly excused and explained away, and his "character arc" is a constant stream of whiny "me me me". "i thought i was the best, so why was i the one to kill all might??" BECAUSE YOURE A DUMBASS GTFO

*and also, HE CONSTANTLY PUTS HIS ISSUES ON MIDORIYA, and the narrative encourages it and puts the responsibility for solving bakugo's issues, forgiving bakugo, teaching him better, ON MIDORIYA, HIS VICTIM!!! oh my god i hate that so much it makes me want to SCREAM

and then there's the issue of fandom stuff. tbh, i didnt hate bakugo nearly this much when i first read MHA. it was only after seeing fans constantly glorifying him, sweetening his relationship with midoriya into something it very much was NOT and refusing to acknowledge that their version of it wasn't canon, shipping them and refusing to acknowledge a bully/victim or abuser/past abuse victim ship is unhealthy (and dont get me wrong, i love unhealthy ships! and i really don't care if people like ships or characters that i don't! but people would/did genuinely get pissed and treat people like idiots for pointing out that that dynamic is unhealthy, instead glorifying it and refusing to acknowledge that they can enjoy something in fiction that wouldnt be good in real life), and just consistently having bakugo content shoved down my throat every time i interact with any sort of fandom space, no matter how many tags i block and how much i try to avoid it, which is genuinely really frustrating and makes it hard to interact with larger MHA fan spaces. but all of that isnt really fair bc its not about canon or how bakugo was written, just my personal experience

this is not meant to be a comprehensive meta analysis or anything!! this is just what i can think of off the top of my head. i have more posts on this subject but tumblr search function is Terrible and i cant find any of them ahsjdkf

So much this. The bully/their victim ship is by far my least favorite dynamic.

Olay! Question, what's your least favorite Ship Dynamic or just ship for any fandom(s) you read for? Mine for MHA is anything with Endeavor, cannot stand that man

/POS

say it with me now lads: BAKUDEKU

but other than that, yeah i also hate any endeavor ship ahsjdk i dont think there's a specific ship dynamic i hate? except for the specific bully/victim ship where they portray it as healthy/the bully is using physical violence to get their attention and flirt and the victim for some reason understands that and is okay with it??? like!! ughhh the specific way some people write abusive relationships and then get mad at others for saying hey, that behavior is abusive ahsjdf
