Calling Midoriya by his first name always throws me, because no-one calls him that in the show. It trips me up when reading in this thread because I’m always ‘which one is Izuku again?’

Uraraka calls him Izuku, I think? I think she maybe only call him Deku now.... But I think it's just her and his mom.

He's the one person who gets all three names used a lot. Izuku, Midoiya and Deku. Contrast with say Bakugo. I don't think anyone ever calls him Katsuki.

I am pretty sure she calls him Deku as she was the reason why he started to associate anything positive with that name.

I think we've had it pointed out before that Fire Quirks are some of the most common and Electricity Quirks are not only rare but highly valued outside of the Hero Industry in general.

Couldn't they just use fire from the fire quirks to generate electricity?

This is true. And you can redirect electricity through your body if you breathe right.

That would be just about perfect. Episode flow would be the manifesto on the injustices of the target, meticulous planning, cunning heist like executions, culminating in the inevitable success and video posted over the ending credits.

Who did Jiro's singing? And was that a translation of the opening theme she was singing?

I'm really digging Gentle and La Brava's whole deal. Is his quirk some kind of cartoon physics thing? No spoilers, just the effect when he and La Brava jumped onto the rooftop felt a bit like that and it would be really powerful in a fight.

But the highlight was All Might teaching Deku how to make pressure waves. Having him go in detail with the mechanics of One For All and building on the stuff Deku's developed up until now was really neat, shows how far he's come as a teacher that he can bring it all together like that for his student now.

I'm just surprised it took Deku this long to realize All-Might dialed it back in public. Dude must have been restraining himself constantly to avoid being viewed as a bigger villain than All For One.

Not going to spoil it but you're not far off. It's a very cool quirk concept that he uses creatively. It's kind of like something you'd get out of Jojo where the basic concept has a lot of uses.

Yeah, Overhaul is a huge jerk who wants to take over the world and eradicate Quirks. Gentle just wants to make YouTube videos of his fairly benign crimes. He didn't even rob the guy in the last episode.

Also, I have to wonder if All Might ever ran into Gentle if he's been active for six years. I can just imagine All Might walking right past him without realizing he was a villain.

all might absolutely did at one point cross paths a goatee'd man in an oversized cape, hands clasped behind his back, whistling an innocuous tune

Based on my experience, singer can sing in whatever language even if they have no knowledge of said language.

Gentle has the misfortune of being an anime character who tries to do anime things, but he's bound by the laws of how reality would work in those situations.
