1- Aizawa’s scarf perfectly complements his quirk
Aizawa’s scarf is actually a cloth-like weapon made from carbon fibers and a special metal alloy. This scarf is the perfect weapon for Aizawa as his ability only erases the enemies’ quirks. Aizawa can erase his enemies’ quirks and then capture them using his specially made scarf.
