WE WERE NOT EXPECTING THAT!😱 My Hero Academia - 7x16 - The Chain Thus Far

[@pedrodiogo4636]

Funny aspect is that a lot of manga readers were predicting them coming back. we found curious how during the post paranormal liberation, they said one prison didn't had jailbreakers, and Gentle was the only villain who we knew were in a normal prison. also during My VillainAcademia, Skeptic says he only failed once in his life. Considering his hacking abilities, people predicted La Brava had to do with it, since she is the only other character with hacking abilities in the series. and simply... Gentle and La Brava were way more important than some people give credit for. They are the first villains that make Deku question his black and white vision, he also the first he sees himself in. Gentle has parallels to Deku and Twice (one bad day ruining his life) and La Brava is a less dangerous version of Toga, instead of having blood obsession, she has love obsession because of her quirk.

This comment needs to be pinned! Amazing 🔥🔥

[@angelpaco3487]

I loved it. I had very little suspicions. But I didn't think they would do it at that time. I really loved it.

[@Jamal_Hills_burner916]

Gentles whole thing was he couldn't save someone from falling so he became evil , he redeems himself BY catching a freaking school GIGACHAD

[@squallthegriever]

He didn't become evil. He became a petty criminal.

[@aisukage1990]

It was a little more than that. Not only did he miss but he accidentally stopped a hero from saving them. So he got in trouble and made it hard for him to go down the hero route. Then after seeing an old classmate as a hero forget all about him. He spiralled down a depressing route until he found la brava and she found him. They made each other better people. But they were never evil.

[@ushijimawakatoshi1429]

​@@aisukage1990Yes. He never was. He wanted to be known and remembered unlike the time when his own classmate forgot about him. And when he 'attacked' a convenience store that sold a mislabeled pudding, he only did so because he wants to send a message that he'll serve justice. He's a petty criminal or self proclaimed Vigilante. But never a villain.

[@MrShloker]

He was never evil he was basically a public nuisance/prankster

[@handaranda]

​@@squallthegriever gentle, even

[@sadashi5281]

gentle was my absolute favorite character in the entire show, and seeing them come back to save the day really caught me off guard. there was a contrast between him trying to lift up the guy he failed to save from when he was still a student to now lifting an entire island (kind of like atlas with the weight of the world on his shoulder).

[@bradythompson2356]

Badass comparison

[@AnnoADI]

There was an error with the subtitle. They did complete the saying of "Absence makes the heart grow fonder", the second part appeared with the "Gently Superlover" subtitle at around 13:40

[@luciano1240]

They still haven't fixed it yet?

[@devinsingleton5242]

I feel for EVERY reactor that had that subtitle error! I was fortunate to watch it on a platform that had it correct the first time. Every reaction I've seen so far had that error and that sucks!

[@SussySpitoon]

If only she waited like 5 sec longer when reviewing she would have seen it 😂

@@devinsingleton5242 I didn't even notice the first time I watched it. 日本語の勉強は報われた

[@Mnkeys]

This episode had NO right making me emotional, it honestly felt like such a breath of fresh air. Gentle genuinely got me tearing up more than i did for Bakugo😭

[@TheReactPack]

I loved it!! I love the direction it is going -Morgan

[@arthururatani6827]

Bakugo's death was so sudden. I didn't know whether he was dead or incapacitated. Gentle's return was so unexpected and then followed by an amazing buildup so we could really enjoy all the emotions that came with his redemption moment. Top moment and maybe top episode of the season so far IMO.

[@onilink134]

Friendly reminder that Gentle didn't have La Brava with him in prison. That means he held back an entire prison full of angry villains by himself for several hours without the Power of Love buff that she gives him. Mad props to Gentle Criminal, he's a real one.

[@arthururatani6827]

Gentle and La Brava's voice actors absolutely crushed it. 14:09 for Gentle right after the emotional flashback. A+. Gentle's whole moment was so perfectly put together with the voice acting, sound effects, music, animation, shot selection... I think it's a top 5 My Hero moment for me.

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

The scene where Shigaraki bursts from the chest of his old body feels like a scene straight out of Alien. Absolutely wild. I was so happy reading the dialogue in the manga about the mall because it was one of the first times in a long time that you could tell Shigaraki was speaking. Not AFO. Not a mix of the two of them. Just Shigaraki. He remembered his talk with Deku at the mall and basically tells him to his face that he's his villain. And Deku remembers Shigaraki's speech from last season. The lack of understanding from the others is why society has heroes and villains. Skeptic mentioned way back in MVA that he had only failed once before in his life. Just one time. And we see what that was in this episode. La Brava hacking into his company's systems and basically screwing them over. Now she gets to do the same thing again as Gentle pulls out his inner Atlas and begins to hold up the sky. Well, a trampoline of air holding up a falling dome in the sky. But still. That's a lot of pressure. Nagant, Gentle, La Brava and Shigaraki. All villains who returned in their own ways this episode. Speaking of villains, Touya is headed straight for Endeavor. And this time, Endeavor promises to keep watching him.

[@blazedj]

11:35 If anyone recalls, after AFO was broken out of Tartarus, there was a report of the same happening in 7 prisons, but one breakout was successfully stopped. This is what was being referred to then.

[@NileSwimmer]

Episode put a big smile on my face. It keeps reinforcing that idea from all might. The hero's heart will continue it just takes someone else to pick up the torch.

[@natsuotodoroki]

It’s great to see Gentle, Nagant, and La Brava coming back and be the heroes they’ve always dreamed of being. Also, it’s finally time for Touya to get the attention he deserves

[@advancedassassin2554]

He is Gentle Hero now

[@kelonpie]

This episode had me laughing on the floor and crying uncontrollably...truly this was amazing

[@blazedj]

13:24 This is actually one of the few series that uses little people that I buy as being as old as it claims them to be, with La Brava and Mineta, rather than a clear child design that is just said to be some 5000 year old vampire - at least one that does so seriously

[@hydrus233]

Regarding the ‘saving’ dynamic between shigiraki and deku, there’s is no redeeming/forgiving shigi, and deku has recognised this and says that he has to stop him at any costs even if that means killing him. During the last war deku even went for a kill shot on shigi with a 100% smash to the head but was blocked, this was before he saw the ‘crying tenko’. Remember deku is completely ignorant to shigis story and believed he was evil the same way as AFO, deku reaching out to tenko to ‘save’ him is more so him trying to understand his feelings and why he was lead down a villain path the same as gentle and lady nagant. Killing shigi right now is just a bandaid solution and won’t help prevent further people like shigi existing. Deku understanding and reaching a hand out to tenko is him saving him. This goes back to deku and Ochacos talk before the final war saying there’s no redemption for the villains, but understanding them is essential and important.

[@joshuaagee-bass4049]

[@zuko7642]

I love this episode. It shows how the previous "Hero" system was failing the world by alienating people like Gentle and Nagant, but now there is a place for them in the system that Deku and his friends are working to rebuild.

[@vegvisir9276]

i love how powerful Gentle is, he stopped a whole prison from escaping by himself, and he wasn't powered by La Brava during the escape, that was just him taking out a whole prison full of murderous supervillains

[@RayGainbows]

As someone who hated the whole Gentle & La Brava arc... i too was not expecting their badass reappearance. "little bit of a Glow up" 🤣🤣 I was getting emotional too..or am. bro why am i crying too!? This was such a cute episode!

@6:37 Endeavor had formed those against the High End Nomu at the end of Season 4x25. And again, when he used Vanishing Fist against Shigaraki in Season 6x07.

[@DParkerNunya]

I was spoiled by KZbin thumbnails about the Reveal™, but still. Hearing that voice and seeing them appear on screen made me legitimately start crying. I can't believe that it's them off all characters that are making me cry tears of joy, but they did it.

[@sammy0493]

This ep was really emotional, you can see the impacts that deku have to these villains and further proving the point that villain is a human too, and we should see that part of themselves to thrive in this society.

[@saito454]

It is grow fonder. The sub was just delayed and was shown at the same time Gentle said his move when catching the school.

Gentle and La Brava I feel were massively underrated characters in the MHA cast. & having both of them redeem themselves is soooooo great to see, especially back in the manga when it first happened.

[@kevakla]

Oh my hearing you guys thoughts and predictions on what would happen next especially to shigaraki makes me so excited and hope you will stay to watch MHA till the very end🥺 cause I definitely will watch your reaction to it❤

[@Whoami691]

Gentle was never a bad person, he just made bad choices... he is what Midoriya would have become if he had failed.

[@AlbionOfAvalon55]

its the tug of war of good vs evil this is why gentle criminal and la brava showing up and helping the heroes was such a welcoming scene... #HadMeJumpingOffMyChair

I love that these great characters who had a time where they were weak got the chance to actually have heroic moments.

Please be Gentle with our fellow KZbin criminal. 😂

[@Nekotaku_TV]

I cried. Love giving power is a beautiful thing, and so is positive karma coming back, with Deku realizing who it is. And just wanting to help, to be a hero. Loved this episode. 18:00 Haha just read what comes next, but it was such a bad mistake of the subs.

[@eestiny9734]

Gentle's inexperience and mistake was all, to prepare him for this very moment! And i think, I know who is perfect to help against Toga! I forgot so many heroes shown in previous season! The Students license arc?

[@Okkotsu86275]

Gentle and La Brava are getting me misty-eyed, unlike some, I always enjoyed their characters and the role they played in Deku's development. Plus, Lady Nagant, with the bullseye sharp shooting, was so awesome. It was a very good and emotional episode.
