The brainwashing effect requires the target to respond for it to take effect, therefore, as long as the target remains silent, this Quirk will have no effect on them. It is also possible to escape the mind control if the victim is struck by a sufficiently strong physical shock or a similar amount of pain. Mashirao Ojiro was able to regain his senses after being hit in the shoulder during the Cavalry Battle. ‎ It is implied that brainwashing does not work on non-living entities, which may explain Hitoshi's failure in the entrance exam (since the targets in the practical portion of the exam were robots). ‎ Using electronic devices, such as a megaphone, to transmit or enhance Hitoshi's voice will cause the Quirk to lose its effect because it converts his voice into an electrical signal. ‎ As shown while Izuku Midoriya was under the effects of the Quirk and later confirmed by Hitoshi himself, while the brainwashing can control a person's actions, it cannot do the same to their thoughts and feelings.

brainwashing

This Gift allows its user to take control of the people who answer their questions or directly to anything they say, and they can do everything the user asks them to do. ‎ The Quirk is activated at Hitoshi's will, meaning he can speak to people normally without any problems due to the activation of his Quirk.[1] He is also known to be able to control multiple people at once, but he can only activate his power on one person at a time, as brainwashing multiple targets simultaneously is beyond Hitoshi's capabilities. He also needs to concentrate on the desired target in order to activate his Quirk. ‎ The victims feel dazed while under the effects, as if their brains are filled with fog, but they remain largely aware of their brainwashed state, despite appearing completely distracted and having their eyes turn a milky white. The victim's body will move on its own according to Hitoshi's commands, essentially trapping them in their own bodies and leaving them feeling powerless until the brainwashing effect wears off. ‎ While training to enroll in the U.A. hero course, Hitoshi was able to surpass the limits of his Quirk. He can now make his brainwashed victims talk, something he couldn't do before. Hitoshi's commands also block their emotions from coming into play, allowing him to fool lie detectors or Quirks of a similar nature. Hitoshi cannot make his brainwashed targets perform commands that require complex brain activity, meaning he cannot force them to do things that require conscious effort on their part, such as writing information from memory. He must keep his commands simple so they can be easily followed.

Artificial Vocal Cords (もう一つの声帯, Mō hitotsu no seitai?): A non-electrical device that allows Hitoshi to mimic another person's voice. He uses this in conjunction with his Quirk to trick opponents into responding to him, creating an opportunity for Hitoshi to activate his Quirk. ‎ Capture Weapon (Hobaku buki): Similar to Eraser Head, Hitoshi uses a long cloth scarf made of a steel wire alloy woven with carbon nanofibers. This scarf is excellent for grabbing objects, immobilizing enemies, and increasing his mobility.

Even before training for his entrance exam to the U.A. hero course, one of Hitoshi's greatest strengths was his clever use of his useful, albeit weak, Quirk. During the U.A. Sports Festival Obstacle Course, he brainwashed several students and ordered them to carry him on their backs so he could move forward without tiring or expending energy. [11] Hitoshi is also willing to provoke people into reactions that allow him to manipulate them. He did this with Izuku Midoriya during their match, ridiculing Mashirao Ojiro's decision to withdraw from the final round out of pride, while simultaneously mocking his tail Quirk and calling him a "monkey." Izuku fell for it, and Hitoshi likely would have won by ordering him off the track had Izuku not unconsciously used his Quirk. [12] ‎ Observational Skills: Hitoshi has proven to be very good at reading people, as seen during the Got-It All Mall robbery when All Might's April Fool's Day belt buckle was stolen. Hitoshi noticed a security guard nearby and, from his body language, observed that he was alert and wary of being watched. Shortly after, while the guard was on the phone, Hitoshi read his lips and confirmed that he did indeed have the stolen item and was ready for his partner to prepare the getaway vehicle, thus demonstrating his keen observational skills.

Seeing himself reflected in Hitoshi, Shota decided to secretly train him, teaching him the fighting style he had developed, which included the use of the Capture Weapon. After several months of training, Hitoshi was able to use this style for the first time in the Joint Training Battle. At the start of the first round, Hitoshi managed to mentally control Jurota Shishida and attempted to demonstrate his skill with the Capture Weapon, but his reaction time was too slow, as he needed to use the cloth more quickly for his attack to be more effective. After Denki's plan to distract the opposing team succeeded, Jurota sought out Hitoshi, who effectively used his Binding Cloth technique to surprise and stun the enraged student long enough for Tsuyu Asui to throw Hiryu Rin at the giant, securing victory for Hitoshi's team. Despite the triumph, Hitoshi felt frustrated because he hadn't been able to apply much of his Hero knowledge in the fight. Shota tells him that he wouldn't need to be present if he could already do everything himself, and that it took him six years to master his capture weapon from scratch.

Initially, Hitoshi lacked direct combat skills, preferring to rely on the power of his Quirk in battles. However, after transferring to the U.A. High School Hero Department, he underwent training under his mentor, Eraser Head. Hitoshi demonstrated the fruits of his training when he, Class 1-A, and Class 1-B participated in the Joint Training Battle. During the two rounds of this training in which he participated, Hitoshi also displayed excellent teamwork, utilizing the voice-modifying function of his Artificial Vocal Cords, as well as his Ultimate Move, Persona Chords, to confuse his opponents, leaving them completely vulnerable to his teammates' surprise attacks. Despite complaining that he couldn't use even half of what he had learned during his training, his aptitude was recognized by people like Denki Kaminari and Tsuyu Asui. As Midnight pointed out, Hitoshi reviewed the fight in his head, wanting to identify areas where he failed or where he could improve, further demonstrating his great battle practice and determination.

Hitoshi is a stoic and straightforward person with an innate ability to strike up a conversation with anyone, despite his reserved and quiet demeanor most of the time. He is quite cunning, knowing how to use the right words to manipulate others and get them to respond to his comments, which allows him to activate his Quirk. He doesn't hesitate to resort to dirty tactics to win a fight. ‎ Because his Brainwashing Quirk was perceived as evil his entire life, Hitoshi has been feared by those who know of his power and has suffered discrimination solely because of the Quirk he was born with. This persecution led him to resent those whose Quirks were more associated with hero work, using Izuku Midoriya as an example by stating that someone "as lucky as him" would never understand what it means to have an ability like his. However, despite his disadvantages, Hitoshi desires to become a Pro Hero above all else, deeply yearning to prove that those who doubt his heroic intentions are incapable of carrying them out. He not only wants to refute those who belittle his abilities, but also aspires to surpass the students who follow the path to becoming Pro Heroes, just as he always wished. [4] ‎ Although he claimed to have no interest in making friends, Hitoshi has been surrounded by many students who consider him a friend, including Izuku, Denki Kaminari, and Neito Monoma.

Eight years after the end of the Final War, Hitoshi has grown up and his hair is much longer and wavier, as a sign of respect for Eraser Head. [8] His vocal cords have become more stylized and his capture weapon is now considerably longer.

Hitoshi is a relatively tall young man with messy, indigo hair that stands on end in large, bristling clumps around his head and remarkably straight teeth. His eyes are purple with white pupils, slanted and somewhat triangular, pointing downwards, with no visible eyelashes. He often has them squinted and dark circles under his eyes. ‎ By the time the provisional hero license exam arc developed, the students of Class 1-A noticed that Hitoshi had gained quite a bit of muscle mass since they last saw him at the UA Sports Festival. During the Joint Training arc, Hitoshi wears a prototype hero costume consisting of a long-sleeved winter version of the U.A. gym uniform: a dark blue shirt and pants with thick white lines running down his torso and legs, forming the letters "U" and "A," and a white mark framed by a red line on each sleeve. He also wears a detachable mask-like device over his mouth, known as Artificial Vocal Cords, which helps him activate his Quirk; a Capture Gun, similar to the one used by Eraser Head, around his neck; and a pair of green and white sneakers. After the Paranormal Liberation War, Hitoshi's hero costume was finalized. He wears a short-sleeved black shirt, a mesh undershirt, four buttons shaped like mini speakers and a belt at the waist, gray shoulder pads, purple elbow pads, mesh sleeves, and gloves with knuckle protectors, lacking fingers on the index finger and thumb. His pants are also black, and he wears white boots with purple tips and soles, and purple straps around his thighs and calves, with a device similar to a mini speaker on the side. Additionally, Hitoshi wears his Artificial Vocal Cords on his face and the Capture Weapon around his neck.
