One more time my hero academia surprises its followers, and it is now that the anime is working on the final arc of the sixth season, and the story started with a bang this week.
Since, after all, Izuku Midoriya left the confines of UA University, so the hero is in his freelance vigilante era thanks to Shigaraki, and we got to see how Japan is falling apart with the return of All For One, while we see Deku cross his darker side.
But before the new arc could begin, the anime took the time to introduce another hero name that appeared on screen. Season 6 welcomed a familiar face this week, and it belonged to Shindouthe hero appeared this week as part of a recognition party, and that’s where My Hero Academia revealed the hero’s real name.
Turns out Shindo didn’t go with the fandom’s favorite name, Quake, but rather, he’s known as Grand. Obviously this name may seem completely random to some, but Grand comes from a pun in Japan, i.e. from Shindo it’s “gura gura”, so the hero just turned this text into his hero name. In Japanese, the name is pronounced as ‘Gurando’so English users ended up with the name grand.
Of course, that’s just one of many hero names My Hero Academia has been giving us lately, as the sixth season went all out a few episodes ago when it revealed Bakugo’s chosen nickname. . After what Midnight Dismissing his first name long ago, Bakugo shared his real hero name with Best Jeanist during the battle.
Dynamight perfectly suits the explosive hero, and now Shindo has joined My Hero Academia’s growing roster of heroes-in-training with official names, sparking excitement among his fans.
