LOL, Gentle and La Brava look ridiculous in their silly outfits when they met Deku this episode. At least he wasn't completely fooled.

The battle was okay. Gentle and his small talk made the conversation more entertaining while Iruma Deku tried to fight him.

The battle is pretty good so far. Deku is learning to control One for All a little better.

I kinda like Gentle Criminal & La Brava. They are different. lol

Typical Deku, isn't that, getting into trouble just when he has no time to get into trouble? xD Does Mirio even have a quirk at this point btw, because that was especially pointless to write...?

Also: Gently Rebound! - and the proceeds to hurl Izuku down the entire street. Very gentle. xD

This was definitely the perfect time for Deku to run into Gentle and La Brava and find himself in a troublesome situation lol.

Also, 69 minutes until the performance.....nice.

Kinda give me a spy film vibe.

I can't believe that metal bar give Deku a hard time.

Bakugo calls Tokoyami a birdhead.

I hope the song the band gonna play will be in the league of God Knows.

Gentle has a better quirk than most of the pro heroes yet he is still doing silly things when he can cause some serious damage being serious. Just let him sneak already, he won't cause any trouble.

The best episode of this second cour so far. I'd wager its also one of the best episodes of the whole series, like top ten. Because holy hell we really got to see Deku grit those teeth! He really is becoming a true hero right before our eyes. Taking on Gentle even with him having that elasticity quirk. Which if used properly like Gentle is using it, can be very powerful. I've been wondering how that shot of Deku first jumping into the elasticity would look and it was great. That'd be such a hard quirk to fight against especially for Deku since he has an impact quirk making Gentle have the perfect defense.

About the only thing keeping Deku in the fight now is his tenacity, like Gentle said, we saw him even bounce back Deku new air shot with his elasticity. That steel beam moment is a defining one for Deku. Not giving up at all even when it looks like Gentle will just strut into UA and ruin the festival. I nearly teared up when it showed Deku thinking about Eri, how she said she was actually excited to see.The festival. No way can Deku let Gentle get to UA and ruin everything!! They've all worked so hard and Eri is genuinely looking happy to experience the festival, it can't be undone! Gentle cannot reach UA!!

The fight was at least a bit funny, but it could have been better
Well, it wasn't interesting in the manga either so I didn't expect anything from its adaptation as well

I don't like how they're making every fight overdramatic with flashbacks and dramatic monologues and such. Thankfully this time, Gentle was there to save the fight and prevented the fight from being the same as every other Deku/BnHA fight.

Gentle really is the best and I kinda hope he succeeds lol. He and La Brava's crimes remind me of Spongebob and Patrick's "crimes".

69 minutes until the performance begins...........you've got to love that attention to detail in "that" regard, huh? XD

Either way, the battle between Deku and Gentle Criminal was as amusing as I thought it would be. Deku's use of the new gloves Hatsume made for him, plus the training he got from All Might as well as Mina's dancing lessons are starting to pay off here.

On the flip side, Gentle's not a strong fighter, but his skills still deserve some respect. The way that he was able to stop Deku's first attack was pretty neat. Same goes for how he uses his quirk as a whole. He's a crafty bastard to deal with and Deku's not having an easy time, either.

Good episode overall and I still hope Deku can win this fight and get back in time for the performance.

For real this episode felt like an animated spiderman episode.

Main characters need to finish the fight quickly because they need to attend something and the fight is over buildings and inside a construction site.

Overall a pretty solid episode, imo the License exam arc was much worse then this one.

Horikoshi takes a lot of inspiration from oldschool marvel comics, so it's no surprise.

he is the weakest villain in mha. but he's still one of the best villain"/character.

He's a pretty shallow villain. There's no point to his existence in the series. You'll know what I mean when his little arc ends.

Trying to call him a villain is at least factually wrong. The rest is disregarded, naturally.

This was good despite some liberties taken with the animation, but they better go all out next week. It would be awesome if they expanded a bit on the choreography with clean animation like Izuku vs Bakugo

If Gentle was truly serious about being a villain, he could actually be a pretty tough and competent opponent with that quirk.

This episode just made me realize how intimidating Midoriya must be to villains; as Gentle said, he doesn't look like the kind of person to have that speed and strength plus he can think on his toes plus he never gives up! Combo for an awesome hero!

It's a shame that Gentle and La Brava got caught because I want them to sneak into UA can crash the Cultural Arts festival. The fight between Deku and Gentle was interesting because Gentle elasticity quirk prevents him from taking real damage and lets him evades Deku's attacks. Somebody needs to tell Deku to hit the gym and lift some serious weight while using One for All because he was struggling to lift that steel beam.

Gentle vs Deku, it's a bit odd of a fight but they both have a great resolve!'

Only why did you end it like that, now you'll make me wait another week. Honestly hope the festial won't be called off, cause I've been looking forward to that performance!

Overall it was a good episode!
