Deku vs. Gentle Criminal - My Hero Academia S4 Episode 21 Reaction

Comments

If I recall correctly, in the subbed version, his motive for sneaking into the school was only partly to get notoriety. I believe it was to prove that the school was not as safe and secure as they claimed. His crimes always had a meaning. Like attacking the convenience store that sold expired goods. He really feels more like an antihero, than a villain. He breaks the rules to do, what he sees as, good.

Having said that, I believe he would have saved the bystander. He isn't a murderer and, as he mentioned, he dislikes violence.
I think Gentle would have tried to save him. I don't think he is evil but Gentle is very self absorbed and does not realize the effect he has on the people around him.
