One thing my dad has always told me is: "Judge a goldfish by it's ability to climb a tree, and you will always think it's stupid." I think Gentle and La Brava's stories are embodiments of this quotes. They could have had bright, wonderful futures, but due to what society tells them is the ideal, they are left behind as they don't fit that criteria.

I really enjoy how Horikoshi continuously creates villains who are really diverse foils of his main character. Each of the main villains (except Overhaul, as he’s more of Shigaraki’s foil) are genuine foils, but each one embodies different aspects of Deku’s personality taken to extremes. Stain embodied Deku’s Hero Worship, particularly of All Might, taken to an obsessive and dangerous extreme. Shigaraki’s early dreams of being a hero marked him for abuse, and he currently bears the burden of being a great man’s protégée, along with a lesser degree of Deku’s obsession with All Might. And Gentle is probably the closest in personality to Deku, with a keen intellect given his creative use of quirk, a desire to be a Hero despite all odds in his youth, a mother he cared for, etc. But most of all, Gentle is a manifestation of Deku’s tenacity and selfless desire to be a hero and symbol, only shown with realistic consequences; basically, what would have happened had Deku met any other Hero besides All Might under that bridge. If Deku met a Hero with no incredible power to give to him. If anything, to pull an overly dramatic line from a different comic book foil pair, Gentle is what Deku could have become after one bad day.

I mean... can you even call Gentle a villain in what he does. He's more like a prankster. One of his 'crimes' was to steal a vintage item (its been a while, i think it was pudding) from a store, that they prized themselves for selling... just to expose the fact that they are being greedy and selling stock that is out of date. So his end goal... was to shame a store.

I think it's also specified in the manga that all his targets generally were people/businesses like that. They all were left unnoticed after or while doing bad things. He wanted to leave a mark, but he never truly gave up on becoming a hero. At least, that's how I remember it, so it might be wrong. But yeah, (if I am correct in how I remember it) then that means that Gentle named himself a criminal to become a prankster vigilante. He never wants people to be hurt (like during the fight), he mainly wants to expose facts that have gone unnoticed and even left the judgement to others so those things couldn't be played off of his actions. That's also why I'd like to think that La Brava and him got another chance, because they never really comitted any serious crime. (Also, I love their designs, even if it does make the age gap look a bit more than it is and makes the feelings they have look a bit more creepy even though they're both adults and he's only in his early thirties.)

I love how the villains are basically a way to show how to treat those who are, “different.” Don’t shun them! Don’t treat them like outcasts! Don’t just sit aside! Help them! Give them the care they need! This is the difference in Deku. Deku sees that underneath the facade, Gentle might be a little selfish and stubborn, but he’s not irredeemable or even evil. He’s just a hopeless dreamer like him. He just wasn’t given the help Deku was given which is why he stands up for him and doesn’t throw him under the bridge. He gives him a chance at redemption.

I remember reading a quote from Stan Lee. He always wondered if he could do more than just write comics while other people had careers like doctor or engineers. He then realized that by entertaining he can help people go off the deep end. When you look at it. Hero society is similar. Heroes are placed high like doctors and engineers. Yet entertainers like writers and story tellers aren't seen as good enough to aspire to but according to Stan Lee it keeps people from going off the deep end. The stories keep people same they keep people happy and relieves them of the stress. Gentle indirectly did this by becoming famous he actually helped La brava without even realizing it.

Is it just me or is Gentle and La Brava's relationship surprisingly a good relationship. It's established early on that La Brava has stalker tendencies due to her quirk being about love, but because Gentle is kind and caring to a fault, he acts with kindness and understanding to her and instead of just blowing her off he basically makes a point to understand her, and accept her for who she is. Likewise La Brava is obviously very intelligent and observant. Though Gentle has an admittedly great quirk, he is kind of unobservant and single minded. So he messes up a lot. Both parties have something the other needs and they complement each other. Also I really liked this ark for 1 main reason. It was the B-list villain ark. Everybody knows in comic books you have the main Villains like Lex Luthor, Joker, etc, but you also got the weird b-list villains like calendar man, captain boomerang, and most recently stealing the spotlight Kiteman hell yeah. So yeah people can complain all they want that this was filler but honestly it's necessary. You can't have a comic book style superhero without including the everyday schmuck b-list villains.

The reason that I like Gentle so much is because he was a good guy, studying to be a hero. He thought he could do it, he thought he could follow his dream and didn't realize his own shortcomings. And then he is confronted to reality. It's such a great story and frighteningly real as well. Turns out he is vain and foolish, but in a good way, like many people are. You know, the guy who was good at school and fancied himself as a big deal growing up? I see a lot of Gentle in this story. He was so far upon his ass that he didn't see he wasn't a great hero because he wanted glamour. It's a thing that I can see happening often in MHA world. And the nature of his petty crimes still show that he has a skewed perception of being a hero and he being an youtuber vlog-style is a brilliant way to show his vanity, as if he is on it for the clout, despite still having a sense of justice - as you can see how he chooses his victims. He's very superficial in the pursuit of his dreams, the opposite of the typical shonen main character. And his relationship with La Brava is important because it shows just because he has issues it doesn't mean he is nothing. He still is a good guy in the ending, even though he made mistakes and the story presents a good hopeful ending for him. He still can be useful if he is given the correct opportunity and that message is done with great elegance and nuance IMO. Great video, Oceaniz.

I'll second Gentle being my favorite of MHA's villains. He's so great. His place in the story is perfect, and the way he's used as a foil for Deku is fantastic. Shiggy might one day supplant him, depending on how he's used from here on, but right now? Nah, Gentle Criminal for life.

I relate to him because the system failed me. That is why Gentle and La brava are two of my favorite villains. It's crazy how I am going through a hard time right now and yet I can see this story in full.

Gentle is basically the equivalent to what Mineta and Hagakure are in UA. Gentle's power wasn't really meant for combat and it probably would have taken many years to get as good as he is at using it now. It just goes to show that not all characters who want to be heroes are suited for it.

My friend and I were talking about the last episode earlier today. He said something along the lines of "in this world, it's so hard to become a hero, but it's so easy to become a villain". Now, I read the manga and he's anime-only, but I never noticed that before. Even now at the point the manga is now, where the line is so blurred it's not even about "heroes versus villains" or "good guys versus bad guys" anymore. Without spoiling anything, there's a big over-arcing conflict between what is morally right versus what is lawfully right; people are safe but at the cost of personal freedoms versus people are free but a lot of people may have to die.

I realize that this want is a stupid one, because they're arc is finished. But I genuinely want to see Gentle and La Brava in the series again. I want to see how they have grown as characters after the school festival arc, and honestly it would be such a waste to never reuse such and incredible character. But its a stupid want.

Sometimes, to maintain the smiles of people close to you, you must wipe those smiles off the faces of others. A cruel thing to ask of a hero. I'm certain that after seeing so many people be led astray by their pursuit of the values of hero society and idealism, Deku will push for societal reform to try and fix the broken hero system. To encourage people to continue to be good to each other, even when they may not achieve their ideal futures, and find alternate means to lead fulfilling lives.

This is one of the kindest, most eloquent, most beautifully said analysis of La Brava and Gentle.

Gentle and La Brava as u said, they are in the middle of this society and that's why I can never call gentle a Villain and only a Vigilante Villain, the type of villain who isn't really out there to commit major crimes or be a horrible person, the type of villain u see fighting, toying and having a rival with Vigilantes, and that's why I love Gentle so much, he connects to that idea of Vigilantism that no other character in the main series has so far.

I really cant understand how is he a good character. The general idea behind him is something that its sooo mediocre, in the sense that its something we already saw everywhere, an idea that it is constantly recycled, a good (Pretty dumb) person that because of society ends up in a bad spot, a victim of society while in the interior he is actually a "good" guy, wanting to prove a point and change the whole system, eventually gets destroyed by main character and his ideals again end up in nothing, making him change his mind and maturing and through sentimentalism shit, make the audience feel pity for him. Where have i seen that? Yeah, in almost every mediocre anime. The idea is good actually, being mediocre does not means to be bad, thing is it really depends on how the author uses that idea. Kougami shinya (And every other character in psycho pass) are pretty much the same, good guys turning "bad" guys because of society shit and such, but the difference is that in psycho pass that actually works. Here, it just looks forced. His character is cringy, the whole arc it seems like its just filling material, and to not look that obvious, they add a "villain" to mantain the essence of the show. I honestly, cant understand how its gentle a good antagonist, because thats what he is. I really like the concept of a "villain" that has a more classical and refined aesthetic, i really like that idea, but in Gentle, it just doesnt work. His whole arc felt unnecesary. Stain is a clear example of what Gentle must have been. A guy that his vision about the world and society was corrupted thanks to society itself, all of his acts, even absurd as they were (I mean he was a criminal but decided not to kill certain heroes? LOL) had an objective, to change the society from root, to give a new perspective, to show the world the flaws and "evil" of the what it seems to most a "perfect world", his character and character development is awesome. THATS, what Gentle must have been, and he doesnt.

I found these 2 to be one of the best written relationships in Shonen it had development reasons hope and actual moments where after the episode was done I took a deep breath to take it all in which I did NOT expect to see in this series. Seeing horikoshi tackle the basic "mustache twirling" villain and turn it into one of the best characters in the story is truly mesmerizing

Being forgotten is probably the one thing that could be considered worse than death.

This arc really got me curious on the prospect of how "redemption" is handled. On the possibility of a remorseful villain, or even just a drop-out who wants a second shot, going back to school for, as silly as it sounds, a "Hero GED".

Videos like this remind me why I love MHA. Love the video 🙏

I actually felt sad when gentle was caught he is actually a pretty good guy

I just rewatched my hero academia, I rooted for gentle from the beginning, but when I saw his backstory I just balled my eyes out.

really? that made u cry? THAT?

Damn, Deku really did become a villain this way by becoming an agent for the flaws of the system crushing the victims. One day he should try to change that, Gentle should have inspired Deku to work for that ideal when he attains greatness. I have a feeling when the Villains inevitably take over it will come down to the every-man, Vigilantes to rise in place of the wounded hero.

@@maxanderson3733 Yep, especially with the variety of the students there are so we can see all types of heroes that can bring something unique to the table.

Basically Deku said it was his toughest fight because he came to the painful realization of how much it hit close to home that Gentle Criminal is extremely likely the kind of person he would’ve eventually turned into if he hadn’t been lucky enough to attract the attention of All Might, he could’ve turned into someone desperate for attention having to resort to a KZread channel as a cry for help like Gentle Criminal and that is painful and even scary for Deku to think about. The truth has finally dawned on Deku that in hero society where some powers are more socially acceptable then others, no one can get ahead without someone being left behind. In a world where people are pressured to want to be superheroes, many will feel like unfulfilled failures because not everybody can save the day.

I remember squealing and even crying a bit when i saw the duo in the photos from the end credit. Now double that when I saw their silhouette dancing in the new opening and we have a very confused sister who doesn't read the manga. I love them both so much and this video describes exactly why I do.

When I first read CF I really wanted Gentle to win at times. Truely the best fight in the series for me. I hope they return.

This may sound weird but I would actually want Gentle to meet Stain, to see how Stain would feel about the tragedy of someone who has the heart of a hero but not the physical abilities

I dunno. Gentle admits that he wants to be a hero to be famous, and although it's clear that he has otherwise genuinely good intentions and has a good heart, considering how even when he decided to go villain, all he did was expose society's ill wills, knowing the kind of person Stain is, I don't think he would've heard anything beyond "he wants to be a hero to be famous"

The main reason hero academia is becoming one of my favorite animes is because of the focus on themes and character in a shonen structure. This mangaka LOVES his themes, I swear. He uses every opportunity to showcase a specific problem from the world he's created, and establishes great parallels between characters. My favorite has to be the shigaraki and eri one, where eri is the child who got help. The one who stumbled upon two kind students on the street, not just indifferent faces that didn't want to intervene.

Gentle has easily the best Design from all Charakters so far

I really hope they come back in someway. I hope the cops realize how powerful they're together.

Your work is so underrated...your endeavor vid still remain my favorite Speaking of which will consider doing a follow up to that after what we got from endeavor agency arc ??

As someone with Mental disabilities (ADD, Anxiety, Autism), the case of La Brava's lack of structural support for her non-typical power feels EERILY similar to the lack of systemic support for neurodiversities in certain areas, which could be accidental but if it isn't, it's a *genius* move on Horikoshi's part, especially in my case with Autism, kinda feels like the system's only understanding of neurodiversity is that some folks learn faster or slower, or sometimes can't pay attention very well, when in many cases, it's MUCH more complicated than that

You still make my favourite MHA videos on the website

It's because of the themes represented by Gentle, and the creative use of his power, that his fight with Deku remains my favorite in the series.

La Brava and Gentle are my true OTP in MHA. A true cannon pair in MHA.

I think he wanted to inspire the world not just La Brava(which is what the posterity was for)

The virgin Overhaul: Edgy villain, wants to destroy quirks, has a way too op quirk, gets beaten by a kid and a toddler. The Chad Gentle Criminal: Comically fun, just wants to continue his KZread career, nearly defeated the same kid who defeated Overhaul and is regarded as Deku’s hardest opponent to defeat.

Let me tell you, when I first saw these two I instantly started loving them.

Fantastic video, I actually have something cooking in the lab similar to many of the points you addressed here about Gentle but the way you targeted them was masterfully done. A true inspiration, thank you for this amazing narrative on this character

Ayyyyeeeeeee my boy gentle getting some love. Big brain boy Oceaniz realises his GOATNESS

I have never heard anyone discuss La Brava like this, this is awesome. Also, these videos are really good, have you read vigilantes? It really addresses the hero system in depth.

Honestly. These 2 are perfect for each other. They may have had the world fail them but when they were alone, they never failed each other. Brilliant vid man, you deserve a like, my guy. 👏

Excellent analysis video regarding this underrated and underappreciated arc! You have some of the best MHA analysis videos! :) People say this series is so simple yet miss a lot of what can be taken out from the story. lol Unfortunate how many people brush this arc as 'filler' when it has such great narrative value to the core themes. MHA is about what it means to be a hero so this arc offered another perspective of this meaning through Gentle aiming to be his own type of hero in a sense against the society that did not accept him and be La Brava's hero. Also with Deku fighting for his friends and Eri's smile since "Heroes don't just save lives, they save hearts too." You don't need a battle of life or death every time to be a hero or show stakes. The arc may not have the 'hype factor' that people expected with a shonen story, but the narrative offered in this arc is unlike others. Gentle, La Brava and Deku's clash with them served as a great spotlight on the issues present in hero society in a different way to expand the world building. I loved reading this arc in the manga as my favorite fight of Deku looking so cool in action. The action panel art was so awesome so I am realllyyyy hoping the anime will deliver it justice with this conclusion of this fight to make it resonate with others like it did in the manga. Pleaseee Bones deliver! lol

Here is a fact you may not know that helps support your idea. It turns out most of the police force and FBI are quirkless or dont use their quirks in MHA. They fight villeins who are also quirkless or refuse to use their quirks. In the very first episode All might himself said the police are considered a joke and that's why everyone made fun of deku. Because of him being quirklesss the very best he could be is a officer who would never be remembered. Honestly I agree with stain, fake heros need to be driven out but I think he was going about it the wrong way. If he instead of becoming the hero killer he could have became a teacher and helped teach people what it really means to be a hero.

I can understand people not liking such a relaxed arc, but to me, this is one of the best arcs. This arc really shows what class A looks like outside of hero work, how they function as friends and how they make each other better. We need arcs like this to ground the story in something relatable, especially after the extreme high that was Overhaul.

Its with arcs like these where we are able to see how talented and how much effort an author puts in to his work. Making a good story without emegeeh epic high adrenaline stakes and action is NOT EASY,AoT uprising arc comes to my mind,widely rejected for not having anything generic viewers/readers thought the story was about (epic big stake fights against brainless titans) fighting for the sake of fighting gets boring real quick (dragon ball z/super being prime examples of it).

As someone approaching Gentle's age this pair and arc hit me harder than anything before it in MHA. Particularly "Am I just going to grow older, poor and pathetic?" was something I never expected to get out of this show. That coupled with how his fight against Deku is literally shot as if Deku is the antagonist, with cinematography and music swelling as La Brava desperately tries to save Gentle's dream, it was just overwhelmingly emotional and gave me hope that there's much more than DBZ-inspired power scaling in MHA's future.

My favorite part of gentle is how he tries to punish white collar crime, such as the pudding company knowingly selling spoiled pudding. I'd imagine white collar crime would be pervasive, with intelligence quirks existing. Does hero aca have super accountants who chase down tax fraud? I hope so.

I just watched their fight last night. And I honestly felt really bad for Gentle and La Brava. At the time, I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but I just knew that they weren't evil. And seeing La Brava cry broke my heart. I think you explained things perfectly here. Gentle and La Brava are the two villains that I sympathize with the most. I hope somewhere down the road, they get a chance at redemption. I think they deserve it.

I have heard many people call this arc "just a filler arc" and I personally love this arc I think is beautiful and necesary, Eri's trauma is not going to disapear in a day she needs to expirience happyness and Class A-1 are still kids this arc reminds you that they are kids and Gentle and La Brava its a great story that expands the world of hero aca

I was really keeping my hopes up,i thought gentle and la brava were going to fail their plan but be able to scape...and that made the outcome a lot more sad and bittersweet for me,yes Eri is important but shes not the only one who deserves happyness. Im gonna have a hard time enjoying the festival knowing those 2 poor souls are out there. I put Gentle up there alongside Stain,nothing is black and white...not all heroes are good (Endevour) not all villains are evil (Stain/Gentle)

“Not everyone is All Might” Great, now I’m picturing hundreds of loud, muscular bois going around saying stupid shit, then suddenly all running away because their quirks were about to run out

So yeah, between Overhaul and Gentle and La Brava season 4 might just be the series at it’s peek with emotional investment and theming so far. And I absolutely love it for that.

What a spiffing bouncy boi. Truly glorious.

He is great because of his unbeatable soul and mustache

I took these 2 for granted. Oh my gosh they're so great!!!

Because of this arc im rooting and begging for the league of villains to change/restart the world. People in society are only in it for themselves. Even the most kind and hard working people are built out of the suffering of others. Just one small act of ignorance is enough cast someone out of their dreams unequally. People who don't do anything or has to seize an opprotunity are portrayed as evil as the league of villains. I love the world building of My Hero Academia, not its fandom.

I just feel really bad for them. Both of them could’ve become great heroes, but people just decided to ruin their chances of being successful by being terrible to them. They tried their best but the world failed them and this is how they turned out. It really sucks

I think the duo will redeem themselves soon as heros

Your video is great, you narate well. It’s good to have you on YT, ocean man

you could say the spinoff "vigilante: boku no hero academia illegals" (gosh that's a long title) continues this theme of abandonment and people who are not geniuses but are not shunned due to destructive powers.

This video is a little over a year old and I honestly don’t know how I stumbled over this video but I did and I’m so happy. I almost cried over this and I honestly still might. Even if in this world we don’t have powers, I felt strongly connected to La Brava. That I was let down by people who were supposed to take care of me. That my value only derived from my capabilities. That being my ability to learn quickly. I was out on pedestal and pushed off once I slowed down. But I’m not here to tell my life story, I’m here to say thank you for helping me understand better. Understand what? I’m not sure but all I know is I understand now and I’m grateful. Thank you.

I do love Gentle and La Brava! They're actually my favorite additions to the ever growing world of My Hero. They act a perfect middle ground of being seen as flawed but made their own path anyway!

I love Gentle and La Brava a lot more than Overhaul if I’m being honest

I love and adore Gentle and La Brava so much. Plus they are my favourite vilian's in My hero academia to be honest . They are also two of my favourite My hero academia character's as well. Definitely in my top 5 of the series. I really hope they come back, I genuinely miss them

incredibly underrated villain and also Deku's first W without breaking his limbs. Can't believe folks overlook him

I love the stories of Gentle and La Brava. They ground the story so well after the intensity of the Overhaul arc. They are a reminder that not every villain has grand plans to enforce their wills on society. The battle between Midoriya and Gentle is also my favorite in the series because for the first time, it feels like Midoriya has found an equal in a villain. This is the first fight that he wins on his own and without breaking anything. Both parties using their ingenuity not only to use their own moves to harm their opponent, but also using their opponent's strengths against them. The fight itself so unique stemming from Gentle and La Brava's unique abilities going up against someone as resourceful as them. Gentle and La Brava are my second or third favorite villains in the series, depending on whether you count Vigilantes or not. I agree, Shigaraki is my favorite villain in the series because of how his story is structured. He is incompetent as a villain at the start, but throughout the series, we see him amassing more power and establishing himself as a threat, which makes him unique among Shonen villains. Most Shonen villains are people who are already established players in the world and its the protagonist who has to grow in order defeat them. In this way, Shigaraki's journey parallels a typical protagonists journey, just with more bloodshed. The other villain in my top three comes from Vigilantes, the main villain Six. His story is also an incredible parallel to Midoriya, though they have never interacted, but whereas Midoriya has always had his principles to go back to, Six has none. He pretends to have morals and to be a standup guy inside of his organization, but when something sets him off, no matter how minor, he drops all pretenses and will beat people to death. Six grew up loving the superficial nature of heroes, like us when we were kids. When we were kids, we never thought about the consequences of cities being constantly under threat of terrorism and someone working outside the law to save society. We watched superhero shows to see our favorite heroes beat up bad guys. But what happens when superheroes are real, and superhero shows aren't Saturday morning cartoons, but news events? What happens when the line between fantasy and reality is never drawn? You get someone like Six, someone who is so obsessed with a certain hero, he decides to change his physical appearance to be more like him. Midoriya may have modeled his costume to resemble All Might, but when Six saw his favorite hero become hurt, he hurt himself in the same way.

I legit think these two could have their own Pinky & the Brain style spin-off from My Hero Academia They're such amazing characters on their own and even though it probably won't happen at this point, I really wanna see them return in some way, somehow

I prefer some of the less flashy fights in mha, the more emotional ones are where it's at, such as gentle vs deku and mirio vs overhaul

I am back after Gentle and LaBrava’s return. I love them.

I will never understand why Gentle's instinct to save that falling person is "wrong" or even unusual. If I see someone choking or drowning, I WILL try to help them. Am I qualified? No! But I absolutely could not stand there and watch someone die and tell myself, "oh, MAYBE someone else, someone more qualified, will show up to save them." That's just not human nature.
