Nirengeki Shoda, a Class 1-B student at U.A. High School, trains rigorously to become a Pro Hero. His chubby frame, ice-blue cropped hair, and rounded features contrast with his tactical precision. His hero costume—a black high-collared suit edged in pale white, gloves, and a visor resembling a scouter over his left eye—houses technology that maps impact points, enhancing his Quirk’s efficiency. Twin Impact, his Quirk, enables him to deliver an initial strike followed by a delayed, amplified second impact at the same location. The secondary force multiplies the first’s strength, functioning both offensively and defensively to propel him mid-combat or redirect projectiles. Synergy with allies magnifies this ability, as stronger initial attacks yield exponentially greater follow-up blows. At the U.A. Sports Festival, he navigated the obstacle race and cavalry battle but withdrew from the tournament round after Hitoshi Shinso’s brainwashing left him questioning the integrity of his advancement. His strategic prowess emerged during the Joint Training Battle against Class 1-A, where he replicated prior match tactics, coordinated with Reiko Yanagi and Yui Kodai to amplify their Quirks, and outmaneuvered Minoru Mineta with calculated strikes before falling to Mina Ashido’s counterattack. Post-training, an internship under Pro Hero Shishido sharpened his combat foresight and strike accuracy. These skills proved vital during the Paranormal Liberation War, where he supported the Villa Backup Team’s raid on the Liberation Front’s headquarters and contributed to subduing Gigantomachia through coordinated distractions and anesthesia deployment. Later, in the World Heroes’ Mission, he joined U.S. operations against Humarise, aiding raids and civilian evacuations amid the Trigger Bomb crisis. As Class 1-B’s vice president, Shoda balances humility with quiet authority, prioritizing collaboration over rivalry. He deflects unearned praise, respects opponents post-battle, and leverages teamwork to maximize his Quirk’s potential. His adaptability in high-pressure scenarios and strategic synergy with allies cement his role as a dependable, analytical combatant within U.A.’s hero course.
