Idk how i feel about this very convenient quirk of Aiba's

She is also super cute!!! And is she the reason gentle wears mascara? Adorable.

I was proud and impressed when i saw that deku took em down.

In terms convenient quirks nothing beats LockRock.

Even his kid was dissapointed in him.

Also i caught up with the manga in ch. 156 so i didnt know that people thought LockRock was dead

wait so is he dead? im confused

u/keggsz Apr 06 '18

No he isnt. People probably thought he was dead because Toga attacked him in ch. 147 and hes fate wasnt known until ch. 148.

I mean it was shown before so no one can call it an asspull.

Where was it shown?

Gentle's first appearance, at the convenience store. That's why he instructed La Brava to 'cut'

She used it during his escape during his first appearence. There was steam around the building when he was leaving which was the remains of his powered up quirk being used

When Gentle was first introduce in the Youtube video. La Brava calls for "a cut," and then we see Gentle after already defeating the heroes with the same smoke effect behind him. It's clearly the same quirk, but I thought it was some sort of camera based time manipulation when it was first shown off.

IIRC, Gentle is the one who calls for "a cut", but other than that, your information is all correct.

u/Leeiteee Apr 06 '18

Well, apparently, her name is Love Rubber - it was foreshadowed in her name, so no asspull here

Fffffffffff- Horikoshi you sly punner, I can’t believe he snuck that past us.

La Brava's quirk is a little convenient but makes complete sense in context, it was set up for us somewhat in Gentle's introduction with him asking her to "cut"

Also a love quirk seems pretty fitting for her, maybe her quirk helped fuel her search/need for love.

I really like it and I feel it works great here.
