| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- 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 |
| It was funny and the battle until now was pretty nice! I am hyped for the next episode! ❤️ |

| Pretty boring episode tbh. Deku vs Gentle fight was meh thou I like how Gentle uses his quirk. |

| 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. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| wow Deku is VERY angry, I think Gentle will regret what he did soon |
 |
| 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. |
 |
| Gentle's quirk is fun. |
Daft Punk is love, Daft Punk is life  |
| This Gentle Criminal arc is the shittiest arc of BnHA for me. |
| This arc is not worthy of Hayashi's OST. The screenplay for this entire arc is so bad it seems it was written for an OVA |

| Gentle has a pretty good quirk. K can't wait to see LaBrava's quirk and how she uses it |
| 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". |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
the joke was too good pass up huh lol |
 |
| 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. |
| I'm disappointed at how many people disrespect the best MHA villain Gentle Criminal!... Fr this arc is unironically good |
 |
| The fact that Gentle is having trouble with 8% OFA (and some 20% shots) shows how much of a weaker villain he is. What a joke. |
 |
| one of my favorite quirks elasticity lol Gentle is better than Luffy of One Piece? lol |
| Hatsume is always a treasure as per usual. |
| Gentle Criminal would be this strong , wow...... |

| this episode i saw deku kinda annoying, i hope Gentle can sneak to UA |

JustOppais said: lol at the 69 joke. KatsutoSaki said: he is the weakest villain in mha. but he's still one of the best villain"/character.The fact that Gentle is having trouble with 8% OFA (and some 20% shots) shows how much of a weaker villain he is. What a joke. 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. |
|
| Wow, Boku no Flashback Academia in all its dullness. The more I watch this adaptation the more uninteresting it gets, even though I liked Gentle in the manga. |
 |
| This fight is more enjoyable than most things so far in season 4. Gentle is a breath of fresh air. |
 |
| Decent episode, Delaware smash - Air Force is always nice. :) Gentle is cool in his own way even if he isn't really that powerful. |
 |
| Again, Deku of all people meets the main villain of the arc by sheer coincidence, the writer is not even trying. |
| 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 DiabloMask said: Again, Deku of all people meets the main villain of the arc by sheer coincidence, the writer is not even trying. Lol, this is nothing. Wait till you see the bs he is gonna pull next season. It's fairy tail on roids lol Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| 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! |
 |
| WTF is going on with this anime :( |
 |
| Good Episode 7/10 |
 |
| Noice. Now for the real shiet, |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| 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. |
 |
| damn this season went down hill quickly..what a terrible episode. |
| That quirk is cool. |
 |
| and they just had to add '69 minutes until the festival starts' at the end. *slow clap* |
 |
| what a climax to finish the episode on... :c |

| so looking like this fight will be an ep and a half but so far the fight is really nicely animated looking forward to seeing the rest of it next ep |
| "one step at a time" |
| 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! |
