That was fantastic. Gentles a great character and his backstory is so relateable. It was nice to see Deku genuinely pleading with him not to ruin the dreams of others to fulfill his own. I think Deku may be able to get through to him when he and La Brava see what they've been reduced to.

I want him to lose to deku here and learn something from the experience (which is convenient because it's probably gonna happen). his goals are pretty selfish here

Now that we know about his past... I bet the next arc or the next after that one are going to bring Shinso into the spotlight again. There's no way the similarities with Gentle are a coincidence.

His goals are absolutely selfish but very relatable. Deku is probably the second person to ever take him seriously though which might be a way of breaking through to him. Honestly Deku and Gentle have similar origins. Gentle's big mistake was similar to Deku's original heroism. The big difference was that Deku lucked out having All Might there to be inspired and save everyone instead of just interfering with hero business with disastrous results. Deku's flaw was his lack of a quirk while Gentle's was his general lack of ability but they both started at a similar place with a dream of being a famous hero and doing stuff they shouldn't have without thinking but with honestly good intentions. Gentle is basically alternate universe Deku that wasn't fortunate enough to have a one in a million encounter with the greatest hero in the world. I really don't want this to end with him in jail but don't want him loving up the event either. It's a much more interesting situation than him just being a total rear end in a top hat because then you would 100% be rooting for Deku who is clearly in the right here.

This chapter was great! I want Deku to win even more now! I just hope he'll have enough time to get back to the festival to dance for Eri. It looks like Hound Dog smells them on the first page, so he'll probably get involved in the next chapter.

Yeah both of them are basically people with absurdly powerful quirks that were still abandoned and forgotten about by people around them for different reasons. Both were alienated by society which is why they want to put their mark on it when the alternative was either suicide or fading into absolute obscurity.

Just losing here wouldn't really teach him much since he's been losing for most of his life. I'm not even sure what lesson that would teach him really. He needs to learn how to focus himself since someone with his quirk should be able to succeed. His initial fight with Deku confirmed he wasn't exactly a slouch even without the love powerup. In comics people relentlessly chasing their dreams typically succeed since they are the protagonist but Gentle is an example of people that are destroyed by their dreams which is really sad and probably closer to reality. Even if his motivation for this heist to be self interest, to be fair most of the UA kids are motivated by different degrees of "being a hero is cool/powerful so I wanna be one!" especially early on so his self interest isn't that out of unreasonable. One of this comic's themes is what happens when being a Hero becomes a government sanctioned profession with a salary. Eggplant Squire fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Apr 13, 2018 |

Man this still sort of rings hollow because 1-a has people with strong quirks who are complete dunces. Kaminari got in despite being a bad student because his quirk was great for combat. poo poo, Gentle could easily pass the UA entrance exam. Edit: I mean, someone should've helped Gentle. He's perfectly capable of being a hero now. He should've just applied to UA since they only give a poo poo about battle prowess. Fabricated fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Apr 13, 2018 |

He failed the provisional license test four times in a row. He's good enough to get in, but apparently not good enough to graduate. He was failing all his classes and repeated multiple years, which implies he couldn't or wouldn't apply himself even in non-power related aspects. UA isn't nearly as lax as you paint it. Yes, we don't see much of the kids studying because this is a shonen battle manga, but it has been made clear that the less scholastic kids have had to put extra hours to keep up with the standard. There's a world of difference between "bad student" and "multiple repeater". It's clear he eventually shaped up, but he looked to me like a bit of an airheaded dreamer in his youth. I wonder if there's institutions that allow people to get hero licenses after graduation. I mean, there's adult college programs and stuff.

He should join up with The Crawler and become a vigilante! Just thinking about it, I feel that Gentle and La Brava are way more suited to MHA: Illegals than the regular comic. They just have that "feel", you know?

In Vigilantes, Ingenium has this whole talk about how his family's hero firm doesn't just hire hero school grads and that you can definitely become a sidekick without a diploma. Gentle just wants to be super famous and doesn't necessarily care about saving people.

Kaminari and Ashido are considered the "dumbest" people in the class, but I wonder how their grades compare to people who didn't make it into UA. Or how they compare to their classmates from middle school.

As it's been pointed out, the UA exam is actually pretty unfair to certain kinds of Quirks. Gentle is certainly above the level of a good number of students and heroes but his quirk isn't exactly great for destroying robots. Assuming the exam is the same or similar I can see why he couldn't pass it. He could be a fantastic rescue hero though.DrSunshine posted:He should join up with The Crawler and become a vigilante! Just thinking about it, I feel that Gentle and La Brava are way more suited to MHA: Illegals than the regular comic. They just have that "feel", you know? I was thinking that too. It would have been perfect for him, his situation is very similar to the Crawlers too. But even though Gentle was in a terrible situation he still made the choice to become a villain instead of a vigilante, which he could have done and likely could have been successful at. A vigilante won't make history though. Thats what makes him a villain. Nephthys fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Apr 13, 2018 |

Gentle's quirk seems like it'd be decent at saving people from robots. Also Kouda managed to pass that test, so clearly it's not impossible.

Kouda presumably got rats and birds to chew through the cables and such. It wouldn't be impossible for Gentle to do it but his quirk is almost purely defensive and evasive so it'd be very hard for him to do much to the robots imo. And I don't think we can blame him for failing the hidden save people test. Even Iida failed that one.
