| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- New chapter is out! So the gentle fight ends. I really liked the conclusion of this battle, it'll be interesting to see if Deku keeps quiet about it and what the consequences of that silence may be.. I hope the punishment isn't as bad for La Brava at least.. I feel sorry for them but didn't really want them to win either to be honest. |
| I wonder what will happen to Gentle and La Brava after this....maybe they'll be relegated to the sidelines for now and (hopefully) reappear later on. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| You know it's good writing when you actually care about the villian as well |
 |
| damn i thought Gentle's arc will last at least as long as Overhaul one lol but i hope we see Gentle and La Brava again after this arc |
| An epic end to an epic fight. |
| I used to be a watchmaker. |
| I actually really like this duo of Gentle and La Brava in the end. The fight felt more than just winning as it added a more emotional side to it. A very fitting way for the fight to conclude too. Hope they get some relevant role in the future. |

| This fight was legit my fav deku fight in the series. Both action wise and emotionally. Dekus 4 finger bullets tho :o I love gentle so damn much. The feels T_T plz don't expose them deku. Have mercy |
 |
| The fight was overall great. I wonder if Deku will actually help them now. |
 |
| The good one never wins :'( Gentle is the best hero of all, he really, really cares a lot for La Brava. |
| Good fight. They’ll probably go to jail and reappear later on. |
| It was sad seeing La Brava begging Midoriya to let Gentle go. Of course Midoriya isn’t going to get any credit for this lol |
 |
| After these last few chapters, it's hard to call Gentle a criminal villain. |
| Do you remember… the flower we saw that day? |
| toughest enemy ever fought? really? welp, his objective was unreachable anyway, we knew it would end up this way, but still there was a glimmer of hope that something else would've happened |
 |
| If Izuku treats this as a 'not really a villain, he can be redeemed' situation, then I think maybe he won't expose them. He was willing to break all his fingers and limbs to save Todoroki, and honestly this situation feels kind of similar. Stain killed heroes he deemed unworthy. Deku can save and create heroes instead. That's a what a Symbol of Peace does. |
| I like this test of morality to Deku character. Up until now he’s been faced with villains who are power hungry and pretty far gone. Gentle and La Brava very much have their humanity in tact and are victims of circumstance. Almost like Deku and Bakugou are in their society and really many of the characters. I’m glad this didn’t lead to a full school overturn because it wouldn’t have done much but be bombastic in any sense. Also that ST LOUIS SMASH was perfection. 👌🏼 Also I think the line was probably “youre one of the toughest enemies” Not he is the toughest. I’ll have to look at the raw later. Horikoshi gives the best “villains” the shortest arcs. It damages me. |
 |
| So even after she gave him this power up Deku still beat them rather easily I mean he says that this was one of the hardest fights yet for him but it didn't really look like it. |
| I wonder if Deku would help Gentle get out from Ectoplasm. |

|
| not again hori, sigh... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| I was not the biggest fan of Gentle and La Brava but I guess the ending to this fight was somewhat nice. Still don't really care much for those two but it was cool seeing how much Deku had improved as a fighter. |
 |
| Meh, atleast gentle shoved deku away and protected brava. |
 |
| Gentle is my second favourite character of BnH now. Listening to Odd Future while reading this was a great choice on my part ;D |
| Gentle and La Brava are pretty good characters. Loved that scene where he spilled tea on themselves. |
| It gave me feels. I like this. |
 |
| This was such an intense chapter,I'm literally at the brink of tears. Hope that Gentle and Lovelover are gonna be able to get out of this somehow. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I didn't expect Gentle to surrender himself to the authorities. What a gentlemen. I hope he returns in the future. I also wonder how La Brava's going to act towards this decision. |
| Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts. |
Kuma said: not again hori, sigh... Why the sigh, what's your problem with this exactly? |
| I used to be a watchmaker. |
| Aw man, that last page really hurts. |
| I thought those guys in the end we're from the league of villains and they both would nbe screwed, lawl. |

U've got a point, but there's also the league of villains and all for one if he still has his ful quirk can fuck everything up at anytime if he breaks out. |
| Epic fight, Gentle MVP |

Kuma said: raynaninja said: I'm going to be of the unpopular opinion here, but I really don't care for this mini arc or for Gentle and La Brava. Is there a point to this or for even adding these characters to the story? Maybe they'll be more relevant later down the road, but right now I'm just bored and see this part in the manga as pointless. The fight has dragged on for awhile now too. this!! TBH, if deku win, it will become wrose since his purpose pretty much to develop and showed up deku strength... i rooted for la brava, but seems very unlikely... he is one note villian that coming outa nowhere and seems like already serve it purpose (hence the flashback)... just like overhaul... he is complite now since he has determination, goal, and flashback already... i would glad if hori prove me wrong.... i don't even dislike gentle and la brava... |

That's a what a Symbol of Peace does. I like this idea I was thinking gentle will be more like an anti-hero but after this chapter it really feels more like villian can be hero too. In fact this idea is pretty good for story either. Midoriya try to make more villian to hero and when he fails, after getting hope from Gentle about this idea alone, it'll be emotional too. 398288 said: man_with_a_beard said: yeah,it's so bad to want to become a hero so great his name is written in history books,and also All For One was such a bad villain nobody even remembers him.oh waitI love my hero academia, but the fact that we are 180 chapters in and we've only ever had 1 good villain (Stain) so far is not ok. what the hell was this guys motivation again? he wanted to be popular. sounds more like a teenage girl then he does a villain. I'm actually -still- more worried about "mangaka has large cast but can't give them the screen time they deserved" We still didn't see some students from class A-1. Villians isn't really a problem in this point for me. The villian organizations did some background activities so i have my hopes up for them. Mangaka still needs to adjust the characters aka students. |

Okay they are nothing like Overhaul. I don't even know how you can compare the characters. Gentle & Labrava actually have visible layers & are more complex characters. One-note villain my ass. This is good drama & a good climax. |

Stain feared people that would want to become Heroes just so they could be popular instead of doing it because they want to help people, and Gentle is the embodiment of that fear, Gentle is everything that is wrong with this society, he is a good guy that has an inferiority complex or something and needs the approval of society, that's why he wanted to be a hero and that's why he uploads everything on youtube, Gentle is a critique not only to the MHA's society, but our own, like how everyone whants to be famous and start doing this stupid tide pod challange, or stupid pranks that could hurt someone, and so on. I think Gentle is a magnificent character, and IMO the best villain |

We don't even know what's going to happen to them after this. Your just making assumptions. Also I disagree that they aren't made likable. They are just enough likable & sympathetic while knowing they have to be stopped. That's a good balance there for antagonists. |

"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Great chapter. That was an awesome, emotionally packed fight. The part where Deku remembers how he got here and tells Gentle why he wants to become a hero was really emotional. :( LoveLover crying and telling Deku to let Gentle go was sad. :( I guess this concludes this sort of mini flag, I wonder what U.A will do after finding Gentle and LoveLover. "It seems we've tripped over a pebble on the road." :( |
 |
| this is probably the first time im rooting for the bad guys and actually hope the main character loses... |
