Avatar the Last Airbender, Book 1: Water, Episode 9
Episode 9, The Waterbending Scroll, is another great episode of Avatar. It's so funny and exciting.
The humor is especially great, and Iroh is especially hilarious, with Sokka also in top comedic form as he usually is.
And it has pirates! They are such fun and colorful antagonists and a great addition to this episode.
It's also neat to see Aang learns Waterbending which he does extremely quickly. This shows how gifted he is as the Avatar to almost instantly learn new bending techniques.
Despite all this, this episode has a pretty noticeable problem that bugs me. Katara has been portrayed as the most mature and thoughtful character of Team Avatar so far and I find it jarring to see her act petty, reckless, and selfish. It brings the episode down a bit in my eyes.
That said it is still very good and it is an A-tier episode with a score of 9 out of 10. My least favorite episode so far but I still love it.
