I don't see anyone complaining.
Is anyone seriously going to complain about Deku being called a smart shounen protaganist?
Anyway other than some drawn out parts was a pretty good episode. Best hero getting screentime is always legit.

You weren't here when the Thread Title had to be changed?

Hmm guess not, that's stupid. He is a smart shonen protag what was the problem
"If he's so smart, why does he get a quirk? I thought he was going to be like Batman." Ironic since that was like one of the early concepts but was change quickly.
Afaik, many thought he would be like Batman and got dissappointed when he got a quirk which was brute-power to boot and dismissed him as yet another standard shonen protagonist who punches his way through everything without thinking.
Manga readers obviously argued against that for good reason and the thread became close to a spoiler minefield for a time.
Then mods changed the title to the current one in hope to avoid that useless discussion and apparently it worked.

Him getting a quirk doesn't take away from his Intelligence. He's probably one of the few shonen protags that's smart in and out of battle
This explains it better thx

Ok, they did it to me again. They played the episode up to that dramatic one moment, but I'll be dammed if that wasn't a pretty cool way to get away from that group and escape from the sinking boat. I can see why the show drives sone people crazy with this presentation style, but at the same time there is a certain charm and awesomeness to it, lol. Good stuff.
I hope we get to see more of the other hereos next episode as well.

Didn't get around to episode 9 till today, so I watched them both back to back.
Latest episode was pretty great. Also, both were the first time Tsuyu got any spotlight (was sorta based off her popularity and fanart before the show came out)
My god
I don't think I ever won't enjoy when that track plays

Is that why you're responding to comments that are a week old and solely bringing the subject back up?
I disagree.
Yeah, I'll take the time travel machine and do just that. I don't go into every weekly series expecting to not be thrilled with the pacing; I'm quite satisfied with many despite the format, in fact.

Was catching up to thread from thread from a week ago, but yeah, I guess you're right about that
LMAO Mineta is top class.
But what's the deal with his quirk? I remember him doing well in one of Aizawa's tests by bouncing very fast, i guess those sticky things have properties that still haven't been introduced right?
Also, Tsuyu's quickly rising spots in my best girl chart.

The balls don't stick to him, they just bounce off. In the test he was bouncing off them.
I think he mentioned it but it was definitely mentioned in the manga during the boat segment. Mineta doesn't stick to his balls but instead bounces off them. Everything else sticks to it for upwards of an entire day.
Gotcha.
I guess it can have some use if used by someone smart ie. Izuku and not Mineta

Good episode but the pacing is definitely off. Tired of waiting the entire episode for shit to pop off then it either doesn't and we have to wait till next week or it does for 2 mins and then it ends. Then if they make you wait it will last the first 5 mins of the next episode then go back to building up again before getting you hype and making you wait another week.

Still entertaining but yeah.

I don't get the whole "call me Tsu" thing. Why is Deku so hung up about it?

Forever he will be my hero...
"Remember, Deku my boy, always line the toilet seat with toilet paper whenever you use a public restroom."
In Japan, most people address each other with their last names instead of their first. The first is often reserved for family, friends and close ones. Tsuyu prefers people who she considers to be friends with call her by her first name or Tsu for short. Deku was just being polite and stammered a bit.

Thanks for the explanation.
I'm still waiting for something great to happen combat wise, the manga/anime has potential but it's boring as fuck, the fact that Midoriya break every bones he had every time he tries something is really annoying, I know its temporal but he's useless for now to me, not what I'm waiting for from a MC.
The pacing is really off with this anime too, seriously, there is two episode left and I was terribly hyped last week after the invasion from vilains but this episode was finally boring, nothing happened.

Your best bet is to pick up the manga, they only had a 13 episode season and the next manga arc would be too long to fit with the ones you've seen in an expertly paced season hence the stretch out of the content we've seen to fit the episode count.
Also I'm not sure how you can say nothing happened when we got multiple scenes of erasure fighting, Deku's water trap plan, along with a montage of the other kids doing stuff quickly.

Deku also is kind of stuttery when talking to girls, so when she all of a sudden asked him to call him by her first name it really took him for a surprise (I mean they haven't really interacted much lol).
You normally only call someone by their first name if you are

I didn't expect Mineta's voice to be that light. It really suits him since he's such a shitbag. A kind of lovable hateable shitbag, but you know, all the same.
I was glad we got to see Deku resolve the situation too. It felt like I was getting close to getting blueballed for a second there, but we got it. I was going to post a manga panel of an amazing line, but sadly the episode ended 5 seconds beforehand.
The whole Tsuyu-chan thing is just something I have to process without reading the subs. Asui-san and her family name versus her first name being Tsuyu plus the -chan ending. It means a lot more to Deku than her which is why it makes him uncomfortable.

honestly though at this point people will find the mangas pacing very good since alot of the readers point out the manga moves fast.

Were like at episode 10 and one is still waiting for something to happen? I think its just too late to maintain that waiting, anime is litrally over.

I agree with them to be honest. This arc kinda flew by in the manga, but has been paced quite slowly in the anime.
I'm unsure if I'm dense, but I keep forgetting how curvy Tsuyu is.

It bothers me too, considering the English manga gets it right. Get your shit together, Funi.

This is one of the first times I said to myself, this episode needed 20 more minutes (but thats probably becuase i watched two episodes last week back to back), so yeah, the pacing has a lot of issues in this last episodes. It lets me the desire of wanting more, but not in a good way, like it just feels too short.
Other than that Tsuyu and Midoriya (those smarts on to full steam) where amazing in this episode. My favourite girl is still Mina (becuase of her design and his few scenes), but Tsuyu has been escalating quickly ranks in being amazing and adorable.
And as someone that havent read the manga I feel like Mina is probably a super minor character and is not going to have many scenes, but I hope im worng and it surprises me. Nearly all the class has been great.
The scene with All Might and the principal was hilarious.

Started reading the manga after the second episode. Don't regret it except I have to wait every week and everything usually gets spoiled for me in the manga thread before I get to read the actual chapter
Good choice Manga is prime.

It's probably the best possible sounding translation unless they went with the boring-but-appropriate "power" or "ability," or maybe "trait."
"Quirk" highlights just how broad a spectrum there is and how random individual Quirks can be.
Quirk just fits.
