| MHA finally produced another good villain after Stain. I certainly didn't expect that backstory. Overall good episode. |
| SAO PROGRESSIVE ANIME HYPE |
| Why did I feel like Midoriya was the villain when he said that he would turn Gentle and La Brava in to the police? Damn, I loved that duo so much, much more than the stupid and edgy villains league. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Pretty dope episode, better than I had expected! The backstories of both La Brava and Gentle were quite sad! He was fighting for both their futures! Finally time for the festival to start, can't wait to see that perfomance! |
 |
| Owww, this episode hurt ma damn heart! Both Gentle and La Brava had such tough times as social outcasts but they became a family to each other. I feel like this was yet another thing learned by Midoriya on his journey; villains aren't always bad people but they still have to be stopped. I thought it was such a deep line when Midoriya said Gentle was the hardest villain he's ever fought. He may not have been physically difficult to fight but emotionally it must have been tough for Midoriya because Gentle is what he could've become if he hadn't been so lucky and I'm sure he knows they aren't bad people but he hadn't to stop them anyway. |
 |
| I enjoyed this episode a lot. Definitely best villains so far. Now we can finally get to see the festival. |
| Watashi wa a victim of cyberbullying. Everyday someone online calls me a "weeb" desu. Watashi won't stand for this. 26 percent of bullying victims are chosen due to their race or religion desu. I may look like a basic white boy, but deep down I am Nihongo desu. Watashi religion is anime. Anata wa bullying me because of my race and religion desu ka? Disgusting desu. Anata should be ashamed of yourself, racist pig. A baka gaijin like anata is probably jealous of my race and culture, cause Nippon is more sugoi than your shitty country desu. Watashi pity anata. You'll never be Nihongo like watashi. Educate yourself on nani a "weeb" is. |
| Tbh I wasn't interested in this arc at all - some school festival and random nobody new antagonist. But I have to admit that episode was really good. Gentle turned out to be way more interestign character than any villans. Now back to the pointless festival... |

Yep. Agreed. Gentle was not the strongest foe he's fought, but it has to be tough to take down someone you empathize so much with. |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| Gentle is definitely one of the better written villains. Leagues above the psychotic ones like Shigaraki and his gang. |
 |
| I really enjoyed this episode and the fight between Deku and Gentle became very emotional. I almost cried because I felt sorry for Gentle because he made a careless mistake that cost him his future. He had strong aspirations of becoming a hero, but it just wasn't working out for him. I really wanted Gentle and La Brava to win so that they can be known as internet celebrities. In the end Deku had to stop them, but he did empathize Gentle's of realizing his dreams. Gentle may not be the most strongest villain, but he is the most well written villain that I see so far in My Hero Academia that is mostly over with the fans. |
 |
| It was a little bit boring, maybe whole series didn't prepared us for that type of emotional fights |
 |
| Love is literally the most half-assed quirk I've ever seen, and of course they pull another typical "ohoohohoooh my feelings are so strong that I am now stronger than you and im more powerful wooaahahh" |
| One of the few episodes where I cared for the villain. La Brava's and Gentle's backstories are very sad. |
  |
| This episode was extremely good, easily the best episode of the arc. I especially loved the flashbacks of Gentle and La Brava´s past and I ended up feeling really sorry for the way Gentle´s life turned out. He had such good morals and dreams in high school :( The only thing I would have liked to be different would be for the stakes of the fight to be just a little higher. In every other major fight with villains that Deku has been in, the possibility of somebody actually dying (or some other major consequence) was always present and worked as a way to make the audience feel the importance of the fight. I mean, yeah, it would have sucked if Gentle and La Brava would have gotten into the school and ruined the school festival for everyone, but they aren't really trying to hurt anyone, right? |

| So Gentle and La Brava lost :( oh well, they were a great duo |
 |
Vacu0us said: samebeen a while since i wanted a 'villain' to win i've never hated izuku so goddamn much to hell with his heroic tendencies i do like their depiction of dreams Gentle is right. To achieve your dream, it's inevitable to trample on others' dreams Izuku is too young and inexperienced to understand that. it wasn't supposed to be that kind of fight |
| I was feeling sad after La Brava came to Deku and punches him to let go of Gentle Crimilal :( Her love is very strong. And they both had though times in the past... Nice episode! Now waiting to see the festival performance for next week :) |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| nah i cant hate gentle and la brava theyre too nice |
| DaBoi |
| I mean... I'm not rlly into this arc... especially after how good the last villain arc was but Gentle had a pretty fucked up back story that hit me pretty hard. The relationship of Gentle and La Brava reminds me of the movie Leon The Professional |
 |
| You know this season was Shit When the first villain Was Shit and the last villain was Good Overall this Whole season is Shit Great Episode 4/10 |

When you are trying to explain what happened last night. |
 |
| Excellent episode! The past of Gentle and Love Lovers shows that they are the "nicest" antagonists. All filled with emotion. |
| Was it too silly to think that eventually Deku would let them at the festival if they make sure to not ruin it, huh?! |
| It's sad, he wanted to be a hero too. |
 |
| The only interesting characters that appeared in this arc and now they are gone. What a horrible arc to end the season. |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Damn seriously did not enjoy this ep, really don't like these antagonists at all, just hope the end of the arc turns it around |
 |
| Very good episode overall. Nobody dropped the ball, animation is good and consistent, story, VA... MHA is killing it! (unlike nanatsu no taizai or OPM (i'm salty about those)) |
I think I don't know wtf I'm doing. Maybe. Probably. |
Sure but he want to be "man great enough to be in textbooks". So he want two things: - being hero - being famous His arc is mostly about being famous. This episode reminds him that he want to be a hero as well. So... less trampling other people's dreams. |
| So this is it for Gentle and La Brava? Welp, there goes my favorite thing about this arc. Back to the boring festival, I guess. |

botomonogatari said: Kerozinn said: Did Midoriya say Gentle was harder to fight than anyone EVER UNTIL NOW or am i hallucinating? Not in a physical way, but in a moral sense. Deku could connect with Gentle, which made this fight emotionally tough for him. That was my interpretation of his comment as well. It was tough for Deku to fight him because in almost every way, they have a similar ideology, but branched down different paths. Gentle is probably the first villain in this series I felt sorry for. Society ended up leaving him behind because of misunderstandings and that ultimately sent him down the path of villainy, but due to his ideology, he couldn’t truly embrace pure evil either. I can see why this was a challenge for Deku because he truly understands Gentle’s plight. |
| Gentle actually coloured around his eyes to match La Brava's eye bags... dude, I can't. That was just too sweet! Pretty good episode. Probably the first time I wanted a "villain" to succeed but it's such a shame it seems we won't see them again in the short time. On a side note, I'm glad to see the flashbacks were finally handled properly. Oh and I also found La Brava's quirk to be rather fascinating and kinda poetic if I'm honest. |
| I've always liked that arc, but the first time I read it I just thought it was cool, nothing filleresque about it like some big-brain dudes like to call it, but far from being the best My Hero had to offer. After that I reread it a couple of times with the volume release, and I actually found myself liking it more each time, and being really touched by Gentle and Labrava's relationship. I didn't have crazy high expectations for this week's ep considering the quality of the adaptation for this season, so I was moderatly hyped. And I ended in tears, simple as that. I don't think it's the best directed episode of the show, nor the best animated, I even think they were a bit lazy in rehashing the AM VS AFO theme for the nth time, but the voice acting, music placement and writing just completly took me by surprise. Labrava saved from her mental breakdown by Gentle's videos, Gentle finding happiness in becoming someone's hero after failing in his youth. The absolute purity of their relationship hit me like a truck and I just couldn't hold it when I saw them this desperate after losing to Deku. I can safely say now that I ADORE this arc, this fight and these clowns. They're a testimony to how effective as a writer Horikoshi can be in expliciting this relationship so well in so little time. I also want to shout it out to Kouki Fujimoto who practically carried the whole episode himself. Now let's see if they can actually nail my favourite part of the arc. |

| What a fight! I still don't get half of Gentle's motivation. Glad that Gentle got caught in the end. Midoriya fought really well, this new ranged skill saved him xD |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
This one hundred times. Gentle and La Brava are better than all past villains combined. |
