Even without sakuga, this episode was at least moving pretty well, the drawings where really strong.

But man did they completly forget about how to implement flashbacks into fights ? Like every damn time this season they put the flashback at the worst possible place (except for the Kirishima fight but that's another thing). It's like they WANT to ruin the flow.

Next episode should be really good animation wise but i already know flashbacks placement is gonna annoy the hell outta me.

It's nothing new that this season is a huge let down, but now almost every episode leaves me completly cold. And now that I heard it might also adapt the arc after Gentle, I'm seriously worried about the pacing and mostly the execution of it, it's arguably one of the best in the whole series, so it needs as much care as previous seasons.

Even Gentle gives Deku trouble, kinda sad tbh.

I really liked this episode, but the flashbacks are honestly getting out of hand, took up most if the fight, along with the conversations between Deku and Gentle

Lol it hasn't even started yet, this arc is dragging way too much.

The only good thing about this arc is Gentle & La Brava for me, Eri is nice too.

Damn, what an ending that was!
Gentle is like a villain but at the same time he is not xD

I mean, it's not like Momo would have refused to create another rope when she woke up... if the author wanted to have an excuse to (once again) have Deku encountering another villain, he could have thought in something better.

And also, what's with the amount of misplaced flashbacks this season?

Gentle ain't bad villain, he's good villain. Teaming up with the little girl to fulfill her admiration of him.

THEY'RE TEAM ROCKET aka youtuber!

On the other, we got a boy with some serious mental issue. Gotta be 100% serious mad about these harmless villain. Too impatient and try to take the matter with his own hand. Should have just call reinforcement and increase the security.

Don't shoot an elderly man holding onto a little girl. not cool bro lmao

La Brava is so adorable, especially when she was wrapped up in her "disguise." Not many know this but she's already in her 20s. She looks so freaking adorable, I just can't! TT__TT

Why doesn’t deku just drop the beam in front of himself? Don’t get why he just held it there for ages. Doubt it would’ve caused the structure to collapse

Come on Deku. The one time you got in close enough to tackle him to the ground you should have just punched him and this would be all over already.

It's not a filler, it's all in the manga (this episode stopped in chapter 174). That is the story.

Gentle is screwed.

Gentle thinks he's just toying with a starry-eyed young student who wants to become a hero.

What he doesn't realize is that he has just antagonized a soldier, one who has scene the world outside of the Shire, one who knows the sacrifices made to bring about that idyllic world everyone takes for granted, one who he himself has shed blood for.

To Midoriya, Gentle isn't the friendly, well intentioned comedic antagonist Gentle is trying to make himself out to be. To Midoriya, Gentle is no different from Shigaraki, Stain, All For One, and Overhaul. He is a villain who is threatening his peaceful world and must be eliminated, and that's that.

If it wasn't for the villains' plot armor comic book durability*, every single villain Midoriya slammed with OFA would be absolutely dead, smoshed into the dirt.

*I find it hilarious that Midoriya's hits which smash 100-ton robots to smithereens and devastate entire city blocks simultaneously only KO humans, with no severe injuries. It's like the author wanted the hero to both absolutely triumph over his enemies with a clearly visible sign of sheer, unfathomed force, while also being free of the ambiguities of having ever killed anyone.

Next episode is going to be OUCH TIME.

More hype for the school festival...that is until Deku smelled rats of villainy with Gentle Criminal and La Brava by coincidence. That's the last thing they want because of Eri.

And while Deku may be no stranger to villains, Gentle is no different from one. His Elasticitiy Quirk is nice, but getting attention by Deku is one of the last things he needs outsiders thwarting the school. "All villains be eradicated" is Deku's philosophy for a peaceful world.

And let the show begin...will Gentle and La Brava succeed, or will Deku rise above the situation?

69 (LMAO) minutes till start...

The fight was interesting, I guess. I tend to not like fights where the opponent is very clearly weaker than the hero, but has a quirk that makes them hard to fight against, but this one was pretty good. I think I just like Gentle as a character. Unfortunately, the stakes are pretty low here - nobody's going to die or get hurt or anything, they just won't be able to have fun at the festival. Maybe he'll actually sneak in and shit will go down? With 4 episodes left, I doubt it, but who knows? (Manga readers, that's who)

Is it me or my hero academia season 4 after the first half turned kinda into a slice of life with little springles of shonen. Literally episode 21 was all about how the Ua festival is going to organized and at the end we got a fight with Gentle and Deku I can't complain about the fight it was good but you don't feel the same tension as before.

I honestly think the Gentle vs. Deku fight was better in the manga than in the anime. I was really looking forward to this fight, but I was kinda let down, but I guess they got one more episode to bring it back!

I felt like there was too much dialogue in this episode. I know that a lot of chapters were adapted but it still felt slow-paced. And the animation apart from the bouncing scene with the pillars seemed to be lacking. That's to be expected after the movie, I guess. (It really was good at least)

Well, hopefully next episode could be much better and do this fight "justice", as I've heard pleasant things about it from manga readers. Though, I'm not exactly the biggest fan at the moment.

probably my favorite episode of this half of the season so far. the heart racing parts and exciting way it's all unfolding is the bnha i know. it's good to finally know gentle's quirk. deku realizing and taking advantage of all he's learned to perform those air pressure flicks is really so deku of him.
i knew la brava could fuck some shit up. the way she was talking about her quirk being some secret trump card... i'm not really worried for deku but i'm glad this show down isn't as one sided as i thought it'd be. gentle is holding his own.
is that single piece of metal really that heavy?? you have one for all deku, remember?
im glad deku's stepping up and trying to save the festival for everyone's sake like a true hero. it's not as big as saving the world but it's definitely up there lmao

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.

You know what I want? I just want like some pamphlet that basically translate each character’s name into what Bakugo call them.

I feel like Gentle is just a clown character or something, but his quirk is actually cool, and the fight wasn’t that bad. I think there’s a mystery behind this guy, he comes from somewhere known.

I think with what's been shown as the kind of villain Gentle Criminal is, even with his name actually, he really just want to sneak in and blend in with people, all while filming it. I don't think he's planning on hurting anyone. Also, it's ridiculous how Deku struggled with that metal beam thing. That should have been easy for him.

One for All; got nerf'd -even 5% of a force that can create air shockwaves that shatters concrete; is magnitudes more that enough to easily lift a steel beam which is prob <200kg.

Gentle's quirk is pretty powerful/cool, wonder if he can actually use it properly.
