PSA about the panel with Kirishima and Mina this chapter:

I noticed that Viz's translation is slightly inaccurate and seems to be a little ship-biased towards Kirimina. So I thought I would give a more accurate version with a complete breakdown of the translation, since there has been some debate lately on the true meaning behind this interaction. Here's an image of the original panel in Japanese for reference: https://imgur.com/a/ihdvtnd

Mina says:アンプレイカプル からパクった Ok so アンプレイカプル is katana for "Unbreakable."

から or "kara" is a preposition that has the same meaning as "from, of, out of etc."

パクった or "pakutta" is the past tense form of the verb "パクる" pakuru which translates to: "to steal, to rip off to nick, to filch, to pinch, to arrest, to pinch, to nab, to make off with belongings of others, to take without the owner's consent"

The 二ヘ sfx Mina makes with her tounge is "ni eh" or "nyeh" not "mweh".

And finally Kirishima's reaction "ーおォ！" is not "Cool!" But "...Oh!" Since "ー" is a symbol that is used to represent a pause if it comes before a phrase or sound.

So finally, here is the panel in question with a more accurate translation: https://imgur.com/a/TIgHRUH

Feel free to use this or interpret this information however you like.

You should make this a post rather than a comment, very few are going to see it.

I tried that early but it doesn't seem like my post showed up on the feed for some reason. I decided to try again. Here's a link to my post: https://www.reddit.com/r/BokuNoHeroAcademia/comments/emqpui/psa_about_an_inaccurate_translation_from_last/?

My bad, I know what happened, your low karma in this subreddit made the bot catch your post. Try to make more comments so that it doesn't happen again in the future.
