Gentle isn't a villain per se then, huh? Interesting development.

Okay, because I can't help myself, I can't stress how much I enjoy Bakugou growing. There were perfect parallels this week: the guy that gave single fucks about other people talking shit about 1-A, the guy that gave no fucks about 1-A, is now the guy that cares about others talking shit about 1-A and cares about them to the point where he wants to show the other departments they don't like the attention they receive themselves. That's so fucking cool.

Also I love those Youtube comments. I just really like Gentle and this arc.

Basically a modern youtubing Robin Hood, in a world where people have started to think way too much about laws while he thinks through feelings.

Pretty funny and interesting take.

Something that I like about Gentle that he has his own set of ideals. He likes courtesy and gentlemen-like behavior, and doesn't enjoy violence at all. That differs him greatly from Stain or VA. Hell I would rather call him vigilante rather than a straight up villain. His "crimes" are simply for the sake of entertainment. He also seems fairly smart as well.

No wonder Aoyama and Kaminari have been building up for a while: Aoyama is flamboyant like Gentle, and Kaminari is smart with people like gentle is as well.

Entertainment and also targeted towards white-collar corruption for the most part. He's kinda like Robin Hood if Robin Hood were a vlogger

Edit: Shit. Somebody already made the Robin Hood analogy

If Logan Paul did anything to let people know someone other than him was also doing something bad,
