Gentle and LaBrava beating up a bunch of pro heroes is exposing that the hero licencing program is a very bad judge of quality. :colbert:

Not that the manga is bound by the anime but something interesting I noticed at the start of the new episode is that Shigaraki says All for One found the location of the camp independently. That's not in the manga, right? I think that would indicate Shigaraki doesn't know about or isn't in contact with the traitor and that they got the information before the students arrived at the camp (or that there is no traitor).

May be nothing, but I'm hungry for traitor hints so worth noting.

Let's just say that putting Gentle and Stain in the same room would probably end badly for Gentle, given his "motivations".

Probably this. Stain's problem is heroes who are in it for the fame and fortune. Gentle might have wanted to be a hero once, but the fact is he isn't one now. He's a villain, doing villainous things for a less than heroic reason. Not the kind of person Stain would feel the need to hunt down.

He wouldn't actively hunt him down, but I doubt he'd just leave him be if they ever ran into each other.

Yeah Stain is an ex-vigilante that went nuts due to his obsession with ideological purity. At his center he believes he's basically damning himself for the good of society and while "bad" is doing stuff that someone has to do. He doesn't like villains any more than bad heroes which was why he was such a terrible fit with the Villain Alliance and possibly would have killed Shigaraki if he didn't have such a powerful close combat quirk.

Didn't he actively spare Shigaraki? As in was about to kill him but decided against it for some dumb ideological reason of wanting to see what his philosophy would be? Like we didn't get to see a lot from Stain or anything but he was never shown attacking villains only good and decent folk, including children. Even in Vigilantes where he's y'know in his vigilante stage he actively works with a drug dealer to catch people who buy drugs and then murder them rather than take out the guys who actually sell the stuff.

Stain's a crusader against society and Heroes are what represent society so they're who he targets. He hates villains too but I don't think we get anything from him that implies he'd actively go out of his way to kill them.

E: Actually, I just remembered he tried to kill bee girl after he went a bit crazier from losing to Knuckleduster. So maybe he would murder some fellow villains, not sure if Gentle would be someone he'd target though.

I really hope that it's the former too. Deku needs to get to that stage so him legitimately defeating Gentle for the W and Hound showing up to bail him out of having to wait for authorities or turn him in himself is the best way for him to get there in time and not disappoint Eri. I will not accept! Anything less! Than the perfect happy ending!

You're also forgetting that in the Hoshu City arc he makes a comment about going to deal with the Nomus/Shigaraki. Stain is focused on heroes because he believes them to be the root cause of society's ills, but he's not above shanking a villain, and still believes they're evil.

e: "This society overgrown with fake heroes... and the criminals who wave their power around idly... should all be purged" - Stain, when killing the Nomu abducting Midoriya

Yeah, he didn't go for the kill on Shigaraki after the latter showed some semblance of a creed (and disintegrated his knife), but when Shigaraki proved to be just as awful as he thought in Hosu he decided to kill him after all.

Tangent, Shigaraki keeps profiting off the destruction of other villains. Stain's arrest made the VA famous and brought in all their new, competent members, and he stole a new plan and resources from Overhaul. Both times he (eventually, in the case with Stain; it took until after the mall encounter with Deku there) wound up reveling in how people who despised him ended up furthering his agenda, too.

I wonder if Stain knows how his arrest boosted the VA. I bet it'd piss him off so much.

After having previously spared Shigaraki, which is more consideration than he's given anyone else even kids, and only after Shigaraki started actively provoking him. Like yeah Stain's down to murder and is willing to kill anyone but his priority is heroes and he's not going to actively go after any villain except seemingly if they mess with him. Like Shiggy did (Bee Girl too now that I think about it).

Stain has also inspired a bunch of murderers and criminals to have more pride in their murders and crimes. I doubt he really gives a drat though, because even considering his insanity i'd hope he understands that killing heroes benefits villains anyway. It just doesn't matter to him. Honestly if Stain was going to be pissed or affected by anything that's happened since his imprisonment i'd say it's All Might's retirement.

Not really comparable situations. The only kid he gave no consideration at all (Ida) had identified himself as a "false hero" and so clearly deserved no mercy. He absolutely acknowledges and gives Deku consideration, holding back in the fight against him, but still needs to seal the deal on his goal, killing Ida (and the other guy whose name I can't remember) before the pro heroes arrive.

Hell, he had Deku at his mercy after the Nomu grabbed him, and instead of stabbing him or even paralyzing him he just lets him go, content that he's safe from the Nomu now.

Anyway my original point was that Gentle's goal, regardless of his methods, would probably piss off Stain to no end if they were put in the same room.

i didnt read all the posts so forgive me if someone touched on this

but gentle and deku are similar but theres an important difference. gentle seems obsessive with the idea of BEING the hero, as in its gotta be him. deku wanted to be the hero for others, because he wanted to bring peace the way he saw all might do. at least thats kinda what i got from it all.

that said i'm really super invested in this arc lol

To be fair to Gentle his backstory prior to getting expelled from C level hero school was about six panels. He might have been motivated to help people but after not being able to hack it, getting disowned by his parents, and then becoming basically a bum that got warped into just wanting to be famous instead of fading into nothing.

I'm really interested to see where this goes and if Gentle realizes what he's really doing here.

Yeah I think is the right idea. Gentle is what Deku could have been if he hadn't gotten OfA, a potential branching of the path.
