According to the official character book, Shoji has a power of "5/5". I don't
know what exactly the power means for all character? But for a character who
doesn't have any emitter ability, I guess it has to be related to strength,
yet Shoji as far as I remember is never shown to be as strong as many other
characters. Other character like Rikido Sato, who can increase his strength to
five times and can destroy walls with it, it's rated "4/5". My question is,
does Shoji have some level of superhuman strength or what power he has that
justify his "5/5" rating of power in the official character book?

How strong is Mezo Shoji?


You don't have to have a superpower to be super in My Hero Academia world.
Just look at Eraserhead or Stain. Neither of them have power related quirks,
yet both are extremely tough in physical combat. Shoji is like that. Keep in
mind that he placed 6th in the Physical fitness test despite his quirk doing
very little to enhance physical capabilities.

Ok, I found an accurate answer for this. In episode 5 of season 1 they make a
test of strenght and Shoji measures 540 kgs in the test by pressuring with his
hand in a device with 3 hands.

Right taking into account what Merlyn said aka that shouji in grip strength
measures 540 kgs. Just to give you a reminder, the force that is needed to
crush a human skull is 235 kg, so Shouji could potentially break all the bones
in your body with relative ease, so yes he absolutely deserves the 5/5 scoring
in power.
