Nirengeki Shoda

Nirengeki Shoda, also known as Mines (マインズ), is a student in Class 1-B at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

Appearance
Nirengeki is a chubby young man of average height, with short, ice-blue hair and a round face. He has large, wide eyes with small pupils, and is usually seen looking a little sheepish and apologetic; his eyebrows are almost always pointed upwards.

His hero costume consists of a black, high-collared suit with a trim of thin pale lines around its collar and hem, and a similar pattern over his torso and shoulders, along with plain black pants and knee-high boots. A scouter is worn over his left eye, and he has a connected radar on the back of one of his gloved hands.

Personality
Nirengeki has a very humble attitude, as he will not take credit for something he does not feel he earned by his own strength.

Quirk
Twin Impact (ツインインパクト): This Quirk can cause any attack in an area to repeat in the same place a second time, just with several times the initial impact.

Trivia

 * His surname, Shōda (庄田), is homophonous with Shōda (掌打), meaning "palm strike"; while his given name, Nirengeki (二連撃), means "two hit combo". Thus, his full name translates to "palm strike, two hit combo", which is a clear reference to the Quirk he possesses. In the fifth volume, Horikoshi referred to this as his "greatest naming achievement to date."
 * He likes to watch boxing matches.
 * He shares his birthday with fellow classmate, Manga Fukidashi.


 * Along with Ibara Shiozaki, Nirengeki was also originally planned to be in Class 1-A.
 * Nirengeki's English voice actor, Dallas Reid, also voices Juzo Honenuki.

Quotes

 * (To Midnight and the other Sports Festival participants) "This is a contest of skill. Letting someone who didn't do anything advance... doesn't it defeat the whole point of the Sports Festival? Isn't it even against the rules?"
