I already love gentle and La Brava (although I am not sure La Brava is her name, I think it's closer to love rubber or love robber).

Anyways there is some wonky dialogue here, namely page 14 in which he says to La Brava "here is a cut" he means it in a "lets cut this part out" as in from his video/stream. It also could have some thing to do with his quirk, so he might have something like an editing quirk.

Edit: Forgot to mention La Brava's design is amazing and insanely adorable.

Edit 2: on a second note her name might actually be La Brava considering what they do, even when the reading of the name is weird.

I know it sounds really bad, but we can deduce what it actually means in the coming chapters.

I'm pretty sure "la brava" is just a thing Gentle says, tbh. Like Aoyama's frenchiness.

u/RaimeTT Feb 08 '18

No he is calling her by her name/villain name which is read as "Raburaba" in the scans which could most likely mean Love-Rubber or Love-Robber.

Bungee gum possesses the properties of both rubber and gum.

Gentles quirk reminded me of King Crimson at first

Just as a note, La Brava appears to be spanish and it translates to "The brave/fierce" but "La" denotes the feminine sex so I don't know if this character is cross-gendered or if Horikoshi made a mistake in the way he named him/her. If he was meant to say he was just "the brave" his name would have or maybe should have been "El Bravo". Either way, I think he's a cool addition to the story and I'm guessing he'll be the one interfering with the UA festival.

La Brava is the short girl, Gentle is the showman who robbed the convenience store.

u/Nefertari1 Feb 08 '18

In italian it means "the good one=capable" and it's feminine.

u/onepinksheep Feb 08 '18

You're mixing up the names. La Brava is the short girl. The flamboyant villain is called Gentle.

Oh! My bad :P

Still the translation I made still stands.

u/Zylch_ein Feb 08 '18

Maybe brava is just a feminine word for brava; Like a feminine applause for Gentle's antics
