About Shinso from Boku no Hero Academia

Shinso is extremely clever, seeming to know just the right words to say in order to manipulate people into replying to his words. Doing so allows him to activate his Quirk.

His Brainwashing Quirk has been perceived as evil throughout his entire life, leading Shinso to be feared by most and discriminated against. As such, he grew resentful of those with more heroic Quirks.

These drawbacks cannot hold him back, though, because his desire to become a superhero and disprove everyone is very strong. Even so, he seems to have no interest in making friends.


What is the most famous quote from Shinso?

1. “Hey, we’re trying to get through back here.”

2. “Don’t show me how uncool you are.”

3. “Maybe I failed this time, but I’m not giving up. I’ll show them I’ve got what it takes to make the hero course, and I’ll become a greater hero than.”
