Gentle is a good and funny villain and I wouldn't be surprised if the arc is him entering UA and the students working to hide the fact that they've been infiltrated. I hope that doesn't happen though because honestly even if it's fun and lighthearted it would mean that UA is actually pretty unsecure and maybe the public is right.

I don't see them shooting minorities and harassing the poors though??? :confused:

Not to go full :spergin: but if La Brava and Gentle have been working together for 6 years, shes probably like 21~24 depending on the graduation album in this page being high school or middle school and how long she spent being a shut in.

That's super not what I was getting at. I was trying to say that gentle seems to be (In some translations) using tactful language to respond to La-Brava without properly addressing her affection, and he maybe doesn't feel the same way she does.

I haven't seen that one, personally. Doesn't surprise me though; Gentle did draw on eyeshadow as a gesture of something towards La Brava, after all.

And yeah, I am fairly sure she's meant to be an adult here. Maybe a younger one, early twenties perhaps, but still an adult.

Mineta is a dwarf too even though he's supposed to be around the same age as everyone else in the class. Some people just being weirdly tiny isn't all that out of place in this world full of weirdo monster people.

Gentle being an rear end in a top hat that is taking advantage of La Brava would piss me off so much.

I just want them both to be sincere goofs more than actually succeed at their dumb plan.

Gentle is the Alfred to La Brava's spine-shattered Batman. Only, instead of bones, it's self-confidence.

Gentle seems like the kind of dude who thinks it'd be gauche to just take advantage of La Brava's adoration. Like he'd think he has to earn it somehow.

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's not taking advantage. Even if he doesn't reciprocate romantically, he probably still has a lot of respect for her, and probably some adoration of her for being his first fan.

e: If it ends up that he is taking advantage, I will be hugely disappointed in a way I haven't been in a manga in a while.

Yeah, like if he was taking advantage he would have her power him up with her quirk immediately when he started fighting Deku. The fact that he waited until it was a desperate situation, and even then didn't want it in the video, shows how he doesn't want to exploit her

I don't think he's exploiting her but I don't see how that follows from what you said. He doesn't want it recorded because being a brute is compete against his online persona and brand, and if he could win without the boost he would because, again, that's his style

"if that ability is invoked in a moment of crisis...then his power jumps exponentially" seems to imply some form of desperation is needed for full effect

I don't think he's taking advantage of her, mind, La Brava noted that normally he'd run off but he's totally given up until she says it

To me the biggest sign that Gentle's gentle is that he didn't reciprocate his affection to La Brava until after she confessed to him, and what we've seen after that shows their relationship to remain unchanged.

i for one ship it and hope they become vigilantes and get married by the end

So, I just found this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGspoPYNqiY&feature=youtu.be

The roster so far seems to be Deku, Bakugou, Todoroki, Iida, Uraraka, Tsuyu, Kaminari, Stain, Aizawa, Shigaraki, and All Might.

That's neat and all but what I'd really like is for All Might to guest in DBFZ

A fighting game where you can make your opponent weightless seems cool. Especially if you can have Uraraka just jump in and make them hover while you wail on them.

The sidekick system is a good idea purely because I can only imagine the reaction if you pick Bakagou as Deku's sidekick. :hehe:
