My Hero Academia's Cultural Festival arc is now beginning to heat up as the fourth season continues, and while Izuku Midoriya and the other members of Class 1-A are focusing on putting on a special performance that would ease the minds of the students at U.A. Academy there's yet another villainous threat on the horizon. Over the last few episodes, fans have been introduced to the newest villainous duo of Gentle Criminal and La Brava. The two of them are essentially YouTubers out to make a name for Gentle, and have set their sights on U.A. Academy.

The threat of whatever they have planned to make a grand statement is definitely ominous, but it's certainly clashed with their quirky debut into the anime. As Gentle Criminal carries himself in an operatic way full of a "gentlemanly" bravado, he hilariously pours his tea in a way that continues to burn himself along with his partner in crime.

This debut was hilariously recreated by artists @matchachalatte (who you can find on Instagram here) as Gentle Criminal, and @patccine (who you can find on Instagram here) as La Brava, who managed to capture the clash between their ominous nature, Gentle's grandiose style, and the hilarious image of the pair together.

Gentle Criminal and La Brava revealed that they have set their sights on U.A. Academy and the upcoming Cultural Festival. Each of his targets are meant to send a message to those he feels don't operate gentlemanly, and for some reason U.A. is now set in his sights. Whatever his message might be, it's sure going to be a threat to Midoriya and the rest of Class 1-A.

My Hero Academia was originally created by Kohei Horikoshi for Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in 2014. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, who lives in a world where everyone has powers, even though he was born without them. Dreaming to become a superhero anyway, he's eventually scouted by the world's best hero All Might and enrolls in a school for professional heroes.
