I feel sad for the villains' backstory. But their reasons are not a valid excuse to commit a crime because they're also stealing away the students' dreams. The school festival is supposed to be a day for students to have fun - and no one should ruin it.

I'm glad to see Deku getting stronger. :">

What an annoying criminal duo! The story still would have progressed well without them. Ugh!

The music when La Brava was about to be captured was phenomenal.

I'm glad Deku taught those little sh*ts a lesson.

Wish they compromised with each other. A good negotiation could have been harmless enough to make themselves understand each other. Izuku came from worse place then Tobita. But still Tobita has the sadder past here I say. He didn't got any chance in his past useful to prove himself. Such a sad story of both of them, Tobita and La Brava. I am glad that Izuku didn't give up. I think he made Tobita realize they are same somehow. I hope Gentle Criminal becomes a hero someday. I hope Izuku helps him now and give him the chance he should've gotten earlier.

La Brava and Gentle make a good pair !!! Their synergy works !!

That fight is so good !!! Gentle didn't make it easy for Midoriya but Midoriya did it , he won on his own !!!!

I felt bad for Gentle, he was good-natured after all. The system failed him.

La Brava and Gentle's backstory were sad dude. :(

Well the fight wasn't really appealing though.

I really like the backstory of this two "villains".
They also give away Team Rocket vibes xD

But anyway it's disappointing that the second half of this season is only fillers.

So we came to know a little about the backstories of both La Brava and Gentle.....And this episode may not have been as exciting and intense as the other fights but still I enjoyed it :


And this was a new smash I guess.....First time I'm hearing it :

Good riddance, Gentle wasn't a good guy. He tried to trample on the efforts of others and use it for his own gain. He was just another villain, thinking the world belongs to him and he's of any importance.

"I was the one who entered you!"

I definitely interpreted that differently

Was on the fence about the inclusion of this Gentle guy into this festival arc. But with these backstories and a deeper look into their ideologies, both Gentle and La Brava have definitely proven their worth. Deku also had a moment of maturity as he admitted that both he and Gentle were the same; and Gentle even respected his resolve. I hope we see more of them in the future.

I feel kinda bad for Gentle. For a supposed "criminal," he hasn't done much that would constitute as a "crime," at least for villain standards.

As a filler villain, they overdid the shit out of it with Gentle Criminal little story. I disagree with the complain around him. So wish him to be seen again near the later future. But when my doubt raise, continue to episode 23 part....

They're really giving La Brava and Gentle their run for money. A lot of scenes are featured between their fight against Deku. Interestingly, La Brava's own quirk managed to make Gentle stronger in that fight.

Gentle's background story though...

Also, I gotta give a lot of credit to Gentle's VA this episode. They really made his personality stand out.

Can't believe gentle lost, no way that he should've lost. Deku got WAY to much plot armour, almost as much as Tanjiro from Demon Slayer.

I really enjoy how heavy things get in MHA. Sure, this season has had is lulls, but when action happens, it's really serious and intense. This episode was exciting.

So he failed as a hero, then got someone nearly killed...so that means he becomes a villain to make a name for himself. Yeah kick rocks Gentle.


Nice work Deku.

As someone who enjoy Kaitou Kid type of stories, I was rooting for Gentle Criminal and La Brava.

In fact, I have not rooted for Deku at all this entire season, and to me that's a huge problem. Deku is written into situations where he's getting less charming as he grows, and thus affect my enjoyment of the series.

The lashes on the pageant girl….. LA brava wanting to give up on life bc she got rejected in middle school is crazy (I relate) gentle and brava are adorable duo. Gentle backstory was so much to take in. He wanted to be a hero but wasn’t academically smart or good at it and then he tried to save someone but end up killing them and then he got criminal record and the parents crash out. His last straw was that one class mate not remember him. Valid ! I see why he is a villian I would have lost the plot.

Boohoo heroes failed me so I'm gonna ruin their party... by making videos! Diabolical.
How are we supposed to take a pitiful, tea-loving mustache 'vigilante' seriously as a villain? He is neither. What kind of half-assed motives and schemes are those? No surprise Gentle is liked by pedos and content creators, bet they'd want a loli stalker/helper too. A very cheesy, unrealistic dynamic/backstory for both. Lonely man with a tragic past takes in a rejected neet girl (who's also his fan AND a hacker) and they save eachother? Riiight, that's not ever gonna happen anywhere. Also it's played out romantically and that's creepy. I'd compare him/them to Kaito Kid or Team Rocket, picturesque and laughably threatening; they would have worked better as comic sidekicks without all the sappy melodrama and that's it. Also at 22 he looked 48 wth

Some bad writing and several boring arcs/characters this season, aside from poor Overhaul - the most boring of all always being, ofc, Deku.
