Mezō Shōji stands as a towering, muscular figure with pale gray hair swept forward to obscure much of his elongated face, his eyes positioned toward the sides. Six tentacular limbs extend from his arms, interconnected by a membranous web, each capable of generating sensory organs—eyes, ears, or mouths—at their tips. These replicated parts amplify his perception, detecting hidden or distant threats, even those cloaked by invisibility. A tattered blue mask, worn since childhood to avoid unsettling others after his visage once distressed a girl, conceals his lower face. The mask’s destruction during the Final War unveiled scars tracing his mouth and neck, remnants of bigotry endured. Raised in an area hostile to heteromorphs, Shōji endured ostracization for his mutation-type Quirk. A defining incident saw him rescue a drowning child using his Dupli-Arms, only to face a brutal “blood cleansing” by villagers fearing contamination. Witnessing the girl’s anguish over his injuries steeled his commitment to heroism, channeling societal scorn into a resolve to protect others and challenge prejudice. His Quirk, Dupli-Arms, enhances physical prowess: limbs exerting 540 kilograms of force, reflexes intercepting swift foes like Himiko Toga, and webbed arms shielding allies or forming barriers. Remarkable stamina sustains him through grievous wounds, from severed limbs to searing burns. Academic aptitude and tactical acumen shine in his midterm rankings and analyses, such as deciphering Mr. Compress’s Quirk mechanics. At U.A.’s training camp, Shōji sacrificed an arm to shield Fumikage Tokoyami from Moonfish and withstood Dabi’s flames to aid Izuku Midoriya. Collaborations with Mashirao Ojiro and Tsuyu Asui underscored his role as a steadfast ally, leveraging sensory skills for reconnaissance. During the Joint Training Battle, he held firm against Pony Tsunotori’s assaults until reinforcements arrived, demonstrating tactical adaptability. The Final War confronted Shōji with Spinner and a manipulated heteromorph mob. After his mask was ripped away, he denounced their violent tactics, asserting that harming innocents undermined their cause. His impassioned plea for nonviolent resistance highlighted heroism as a bridge between societal divides. Post-war, he graduated as the No. 9 Pro Hero and received the Imamura Peace Prize for advancing heteromorph acceptance. Shōji’s minimal possessions and reliance on duplicated mouths for speech reflect pragmatism and lingering self-awareness of his appearance. Though reserved, his camaraderie with peers like Tokoyami and Ojiro reveals mutual respect, while his protective instincts and absence of grudges illustrate maturity honed through adversity. In later years, his physique broadened, arms growing more robust, and a ponytail marked his evolution as a hero. From marginalized youth to celebrated peace advocate, his journey epitomizes resilience, transforming personal suffering into a force for societal empathy over retribution.
