Every fan of the Japanese Manga series, or call it an Anime series, knows about Shota Aizawa. Shota Aizawa is the main character of the Anime series named My Hero Academia. He is also known as the eraser head, a hero, and a homeroom teacher.
Talking about the appearance of Shota is a tall and slender body. He has a skin tone, which is pale in color, has hair black in color to shoulder length, and also is a little messy. He is famous for his messy and worn-out look.
His eyes have a tired look and are flat-shaped. He is very stubborn and an introverted kind of person. He is a teacher have a lot of expectations from his students, and he is also regarded as the best teacher in-hero academia for his students; he is strict with them, but it is for their benefit. Students remember Shota as a teacher all their life and have respect for him.
He is generally regarded as a ruthless and hard-hearted person. But fewer people know that he has given so many words of wisdom to others. We will be talking about the quotes that Shota Aizawa said and that have inspired many people out there.
Some of the best quotes and wise words said by Shota Aizawa are as follows:
20. “Okay. It Took Eight Seconds Before You Were Quiet. Time Is Limited. You, Kids, Are Not Rational Enough.”
Shota considers himself a teacher before anything else. Therefore, he is strict and tolerates no nonsense in class. He knows well that he is not all mighty. Still, he takes no air for the argument and time when he is in that classroom and commanding them. He is training students to save and protect people in the coming future.
By seeing all the pressure he has on him, he understands that he needs to have that solid foundation to train his students effortlessly. Being a student and listening to the teacher about the instructions he is giving, for them, 8 seconds is a fraction of seconds passing by. But fans feel the same while talking about the 8 seconds that Shota is talking about.
Because they know that as time passes by, milli-seconds are very important for life and death.
19. “No Good Hero Is A One-Trick Pony.”
This quote seems to be nothing special in the world of anime. This quote may seem short, but it also very clearly addresses that a hero must be a master in all the trades. Just one skill that one has mastered makes them a hero. However, it needs more than a skill to be a real hero.
According to Aizawa, a real definition of a real hero is not just being strong and fast. One needs to know and be confident in every area needed to know to become a hero. Also, prove to everyone that they can be their own one-man army; they don’t need anyone else.
Aizawa also says that the worst that can happen to a hero is that any of their rivalries can catch him off guard.
18. “Why Is Everyone Around Me So Noisy?”
This quote is one of my favorite quotes from Aizawa. This list of best quotes by Shota Aizawa would have been incomplete without this quote. He is considered one of the iconic heroes who also have a heart of gold apart from being rude and cold toward others. His heart is said only to shine when things are at their darkest.
People always get to know him by his way of treating others when things are going great and when things are not that great. These types of quotes are accurate in describing Aizawa. It also tells the reason for his being called an iconic hero.
17. “Is The One Who Said He’s Toying With Her A Pro? If That’s What You’re Taking From This, Then You Can Leave. No Point In Watching.”
In this Japanese Manga series named My Hero Academia, It is perfectly pictured that how many characters are ranked against each other tells one what number of competition and what level of strength one can show.
Aizawa also doesn’t tolerate any insult, which is indirectly done for any heroes present in the battle. He claims that it is always easy to judge anyone be it a hero or by their sideline, and it is also a passive insult. He once publicly punished a hero that was a Pro hero and also was a judge of matches.
16. “They’ve Been Exposed To The Outside World. They Have That Fear Planted In Them. They’ve Endured It. Overcome It. Each Has Grown From That Experience And Forgotten How To Hesitate.”
This quote is a proper definition of inspiring and haunting at the very same time. Talking about Aizawa recognizes the potential of his students when they compete with other heroes from different classes and identifies what he wants to know about.
He knew that his class would be the one most targeted, and he had also trained his class in very different concepts so that they could easily face any challenges. Exposure to unknown situations will also polish them, and he took advantage of this situation. He knew that his students would make him proud one day.
15. “If You’re Going To Become a Hero, You Don’t Have Time For Such Leisurely Events.”
This series of My Hero Academia proves that there is not only one way of being a hero but also that any shape or size can define that a particular person or particular shape and size is a hero. But it is not like this.
The quote may seem rude in reading, but it’s a summary of society as a whole. The life of a hero is never easy. But, it is all about sacrifices that they give to save people’s lives and don’t want anything in return.
14. “The Three Of Us Can Still Be Heroes Together.”
The series shows how much a hero and a villain go through over time. Whatever they face, it may be a win or a personal loss, be it a group of friends or their loneliness, everything is so beautifully expressed and shown.
Today Aizawa is known because of the time from his youth that he spent with Mic and Shirakumo. One takes out Shirakumo, and he is now turned into the Numo.
This is enough to explain the quote that Shota said. It was a heartbreaking moment for him, and he faced failure at this point. However, this also made him realize that he needed to be so strong that no one could ever fail him.
13. “I’m Sorry To Tell You That For The Next Three Years U.A. Will Run You Through The Wringer. That’s Plus Ultra.”
Plus Ultra has been used as an inspirational word that is been used regularly, but the mighty in My Hero Academy. This phrase is used to motivate the heroes and push them forward.
On one side where others were very excited about classes finally being started at U.A.high, whereas Shota Aizawa took the job as his privilege to be a teacher and teach others the best he knows about things. For Aizawa, nothing was easygoing. He never took the phrase Plus Ultra for granted; it was always a commitment he never let go of in glory.
12. “If He Had No Prospects, I Would Cut Him Loose. There’s Nothing Crueler Than Letting Someone Chase Their Half-Baked Dreams.”
Stories of all superhero franchises are about a protagonist who comes into the world with all the adventures he has in his mind to do it in the world. There are few personalities who are not meant to be heroes, even though they have proper communication and work ethics to work with.
Some heroes play ego games with the young heroes and want to prove that they are the best among all the heroes, But Aizawa is never interested in showing off his skills.
Aizawa also believes that it’s useless to torture the heroes to improve; he always believes in training the best and making them unbeatable.
11. “Even If One Of Us Screw Up, The Other Two Can Pick Up The Slack.”
In everyone’s life, there is a phase or any kind of tragedy that they have to fight and overcome; they also shape their personalities and help them in later phases of life.
When Aizawa was in his years of becoming what he is today. At that phase of life, he, Mic, and Shirakumo were the trio that could never be separated; they were partners in crime and did all things altogether.
The quote above is used about how a team should always have each other’s back. He always felt hard about same about what happened to Shirakumo.
10. “People Like You And Me, If We’re Not Able To Do Things On Our Own When The Time Comes, We’ll Simply Die.”
In Hero Academia, there are many students whose role model is Shota Aizawa. But Aizawa is interested in a special person named Hitoshi Shinso, who belongs to class 1-C. Aizawa recognizes his potential as a pro hero in him, and he wants to have him under his training and polish him as required.
The above quote is said to Shinso by Shota when he was training him. This also indicated that both Shota and Shinso could be so self-reliant. They both only believe that it’s always good to believe in themselves and also not be dependent on others.
9. “So What? They’re Just Died Out.”
This quote was ideally said when after Kurogiri confronted, the Mic just went to check on Aizawa. He became vulnerable after the encounter, but Aizawa being the person he is, put on that brave and hard face and moved forward.
Dry eyes have become one of Aizawa’s traits and are also used to define his personality. He is now got used to such circumstances.
8. “This Is The Hero Course Go Somewhere Else If You Want To Play At Being Friends.”
The hero course Aizawa is talking about is sleeping in a cocoon bag. When he introduced the zippers and the polyester crept on the screen, viewers were ready to see an iconic view. Fans say that he has so low- energy in his character at that particular point.
This quote sums up the start and end of Aizawa. He can be both a slouch and a grouch at the very same time, and with this, there is no second opinion. He is least interested in anything in front of the comfort of his own sleeping bag.
7. “Even If They’re Not Physically With Everyone, Their Presence Raises The Standard For The Whole Class. That Is My Class 1-A!”
Midoriya Izuku was never on the list of interest for Aizawa. Whereas Katsuki Bakugo never did anything for himself. But for both of them, Aizawa’s perception changed so quickly, and he saw that spark in them by seeing their hard work and commitment towards their work.
He also started to have trust in them only after they both were able to inspire his class. Aizawa also never misses his chance to flaunt his class and overhype it in front of the two boys.
6. “Self Sacrifice And Recklessness Are Very Different Concepts. But, In Order For Those Headstrong Student To Learn This, I’d Like For Them To Experience ‘Death’ Once.”
From starting, fans have been wondering about what made Aizawa expel entire classrooms, and he just enforced what he said without giving it a second thought. Shota is more than a homeroom teacher and also a powerful teacher. He is among such versatile heroes. He has become an inspiration for many.
5. “Shirakumo! If By Any Chance You’re Still In There, Let’s All Become Heroes Together!”
Eraser Head was always loved by the viewers even before the series went in the past. Manga series are not always about being good, so they just throw feelings at the faces of viewers. This quote is evidence that proves that he had a story that every good hero has. Also, a surprising turn in his character is something that was never expected by any.
4. “We Look A Little Further Ahead Than Everyone Else.”
These lines prove that tell that Aizawa is always proud of his class even though he may not tell his students about the same. These lines also show one of such leisurely events that Aizawa is being competitive with his colleagues and is particular about his student.
3. “Make Sure You Train Your Mind And Bodies At The Same Time.”
It is completely important that a true hero trains his body and mind simultaneously. In case you only train your mind and not the body, the hero can’t move his body according to the requirement. Aizawa says that equal balance is important; nature is created equal, and so we need to maintain equality and train both brain and mind at the same time.
2. “And Have Some Idea Of What You Will Be Doing.”
Never just enforce what enforcers have been told to do. Use your brain and have an idea of what you are doing. Aizawa has used this quote to tell heroes that all ways do what they have an idea about and always believe in themselves. Never come up randomly to do things and say that you don’t have any reason for doing the same.
1. “There’s Nothing Crueler Than Letting a Dream End Midway.”
This quote is one the best quotes delivered by Aizawa; this line clearly defines the value that he portrays. He is an iconic personality who is cold in the outside world and can also be cold within. He has a soft and warm corner for people following their dreams.
In Hero society, there is no way to let go of your dreams. Come forward and fulfill your dreams. Never letting go of your dream is what Aizawa believed in.
