It's kind of wild that Vigilantes is doing an Eraserhead backstory arc. Like, cloud guy was alluded to at the end of the 1A vs 1B arc and now it's getting followed up in a spin-off manga. I wonder how much Horikoshi and the Vigilante team talk back and forth about this stuff. Also some trivia: https://twitter.com/CDCubed/status/1159949377655324672

I still think it's weird that Eraserhead wastes his time being a teacher. I'd imagine in a world like that, people would pay top dollar to have a dude with a quirk like his on staff for security for people on the top level like presidents and kings. Because obviously the biggest threat to any top official is going to be some nutjob with a crazy quirk, and Eraserhead could stop probably most of them almost instantly

Eraser is kind of a one-trick pony who basically is best in an ambush. I dunno if being a known quantity as a bodyguard for specific important people would capitalize on that rep much since planning for him pretty much completely eliminates his primary advantage.

I dunno if being a known quantity as a bodyguard for specific important people would capitalize on that rep much since planning for him pretty much completely eliminates his primary advantage. Yeah there's also this, a huge part of what Eraserhead does involves being as low-key as possible about his actual heroics. Remember that Midoriya had to take a while to remember who he was, when basically every other hero is an immediate essay of knowledge. Being a teacher means his herowork can remain low paying and in the shadows, to the point where he actually dislikes the level of popularity/showbiz stylisation All Might had at the start.

Fair points.Crasical posted:"why would anyone bother [DOING GOOD] instead of [MAKING A TON OF MONEY IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR]" Making money isn't really mutually exclusive from [DOING GOOD], like the example I mentioned, protecting world leaders would definitely be doing a lot of good. Elfgames posted:eraserhead drags himself to work in a sleeping bag on the first day of school, he's not the guy looking to make top dollar Yeah, you're absolutely right about the "waste of time" remark. I definitely think it's a vastly underappreciated field. I guess I'd say I meant more, it's an idea he's obviously very resistant to, and he doesn't seem to particularly enjoy it outside of a few moments. I got the impression that he thought it was "a waste of time." I still think a quirk like his, even outside of ambush situations, would still be an insanely valuable quirk in a world like that. And I suppose that also pretty much answers why he might want to be a teacher, he clearly has a ton of options for how he uses his abilities, so even if the teaching thing didn't work out, it's not like he doesn't have a ton of backup choices for ways to be Heroic and helpful to society. I can also see how he'd be very useful as a teacher to get his students to think outside of the box a bit and maybe not immediately resort to using their specific abilities in situations where they might cause more harm than good. So hey, I feel like I understand the character a bit better now. Thanks guys, sorry I'm not the total monster you might've imagined me to be.

Eraserhead's ability is potent against villains specifically because it's unknown. It's full of extremely easy to exploit holes(requires line of sight, requires him to retain open eye contact, doesn't work on heteromorphic quirks), and is reliant on him being able to identify and functionally disable a target in seconds - both of these factors are immensely reliant on him using it offensively and preferably against a surprised or unprepared opponent who will be disoriented by their quirk suddenly shutting off for no reason and thus more susceptible to a takedown. In a situation where someone would want to assassinate a political leader, they have all the prep time in the world and the bodyguards only have seconds to react. And they could just, you know, use a gun, or a bomb, or a heteromorphic quirk, all of which Eraserhead is only as good as a quirkless human being at stopping. Hell, use that that Human Bomb joke character in the one issue of Vigilantes as an example - he could likely attend a political rally, get to the front row, and blow himself up before Eraserhead realized what was happening.

Regardless, the main issue with all of that is that Eraserhead's Quirk is woefully limited as said before. You can't really end an encounter with Erasure if, say, the person he's looking at relies on anything beyond their Quirk (natural reflexes and speed in Shigaraki and Toga's case, for instance, or a gun), if said Quirk is impossible to negate (heteromorphic Quirks) or if there's just too many for him to keep his eye on them at once. Consider the main danger for UA, and the main danger in the manga in general, the League of Villains: -As said before, Shigaraki and Toga are extremely fast and could move beyond Eraserhead's range of vision if he didn't restrain them first. -Toga also doesn't rely on her Quirk for battle, and in fact, her Quirk had no offensive applications until this very arc. -It's unclear how Erasure would interact with Twice's Double. Would it delete the copies if he looks at them? Or would it only work on the main body? If so, it'd be extremely easy to just put a wall of bodies in the way (was this shown before? I genuinely cannot remember). -Gigantomachia's main danger isn't any engineered Quirks but his massive body and strength, which seem to come from a heteromorphic Quirk, and he's very much unrestrainable, making him a natural counter for Eraserhead. -Mr. Compress and Dabi are hosed. Horikoshi was actually extremely intelligent in how he wrote Eraserhead, his Quirk is a powerful thing but it's not a game-breaker, it can be stopped, it has clear limits, the series doesn't have to dance around it.

Well we do know one limit to Eri's quirk - its a stockpiling quirk like Deku's, so it has a limit. After the Overhaul fight where she used up a ton of her power, her horn shrank back down to a nub. More horn equals more stored up time rewinding. All those other things you said are still true, but it does have a limit before it runs out, and she hit it during the Overhaul finale.

I realize all those limitations Eraserhead has, but I still contend he'd be very useful in a field like security. The argument against it you guys seem to be making seems almost like saying, "why do secret service guys wear body armor, when it won't do anything against something like a .50 cal or a rocket, etc?" Eraserhead doesn't have to be able to stop everything that comes his way to be a great asset to security, presumably his team would have other strong quirk users better suited to deal with those crazy outliers, but he'd be able to easily take down most small to mid-level threats, and even some pretty big ones better than a lot of other quirk users. Again, I'm not saying the dude would be perfect at it. I'm just saying that if I were forming a team for some top-level security, I'd definitely want someone who could neutralize quirks, especially from a distance.

Eraserhead should surrender his eyes to the government, so that multiple quirk nullifying devices can be manufactured after they've been dissecting. We could put an end to the singularity by just installing beholder lamps that prevent children from firing radiation beams and other nonsense.
