One of the key figures of My Hero Academia is Class 1-A's pro-hero teacher Aizawa, or when referred to as his hero name, Eraserhead. Fans have seen his coolness in action before, but fans just got another taste with the latest episode.

Squaring off against the League of Villains' fiery foe Dabi, Eraserhead proved he shouldn't be messed with as he quickly takes down Dabi for the sake of his students.

When Dabi first attacks Aizawa and the remedial students, Aizawa quickly springs into action by erasing Dabi's Quirk. Though Dabi is able to counter with some skilled moves of his own, Eraserhead's fighting style is meant to take down villains who are surprised when their Quirk disappears.

He quickly gets the better of Dabi, and even disarms him with Dabi pretty much captured. But Dabi's plan is still in action and every one of the students is in danger, and it drew Aizawa's attention elsewhere.

This distraction allows Dabi to escape, when he reveals that his Quirk isn't quite the flame as his body breaks apart when Aizawa tries to capture him. Regardless of Dabi's escape, he proved to plenty of fans why he shouldn't be messed with.

Fans had yet to see a proper showing of power from the character since his fight with the villains during the first season, so it's good to get a reminder as to why he's the teacher in the first place.

For those unfamiliar with My Hero Academia, the series was created by Kohei Horikoshi and has been running in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump since July 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has super powers but he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he's eventually scouted by the world's best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes. The series has been collected into 15 volumes so far, and has been licensed by Viz Media for an English language release since 2015.

The third season of the series is currently adapting the the School Trip arc, the students of Class 1-A head to a forest in order to bring the control of their Quirks to a new level. Suddenly, the League of Villains attacks in order to kidnap one of the students and Midoriya and the others must think quickly on their feet in order to survive.

My Hero Academia's first movie, My Hero Academia: The Movie - The Two Heroes, is scheduled to open August 3. The film will cover a story not seen in the originalmanga with series creator Horikoshi noting that, "Of course the movie will be filled with Class A's great efforts, that character's past that hasn't been in the manga yet, flashy action scenes, and much more." The film also previously revealed its first key visual depicting a character fans have never seen before, and a trailer revealing an All Might in his prime.
