There's a lot to think about here, as Equius tackles explaining this like he's solving a math problem, and Midoriya presses his mouth into a tight, apprehensive line. Equius stealing techniques from ancient Sleepers who by all rights should be his enemies is off-putting, potentially troubling, but not... inherently bad.
In fact, unlike him, Midoriya sees the purpose in power-suppressing manacles right away. The power negation he encountered in this world reminds him of Aizawa's Quirk. As ever, Midoriya sees Quirks as tools, to be used for good or ill. If such a thing worked, a hero might even use those to restrain a villain--though the profession of heroes and how they respond to villains doesn't exist here, no matter how much Midoriya might call himself by the title still.
Midoriya can't quite put his finger on what unsettles him, and he knows he's drawing on his own limited experience of things from home and here, but someone speaking so casually about the Zealots has something to do with it.
"That's not its purpose, no," he agreed. "I've encountered Quirk--uh, power suppression a few times here in this world. Are you saying that entire areas warded against powers is also due to blood magic using warmblood?"
