Erik: There's no way he's just gonna walk up to them and be like: "Hello"
Zuko: "Hello, Zuko here"
Zuko the UA-camr
He was technically correct
immediately came to the comments after hearing that, was not disappointed XD
@@typo1345 Same! XD
Iron DID say, You NEVER think these things through.
The fact that when Aang pretended to be a fire nation kid he found out that none of the people were allowed to dance and express themselves, yet as we see with the dragons the original form of fire bending was a dance. It's so cool to learn how the fire bending we've seen up until now is outright just a spin-off filled with the obsession with raw power and domination compared to the traditional which was to represent life and energy. Aang technically wasn't wrong when he called the fire bending he'd experienced and learned nothing but Destruction, because it's become the norm to use it that way.
the oppresion is so intense.. they completely abadoned their roots
The same thing happened with samurai culture and the concept of bushido in WW2 Era Japan, it's tragic.
There is a deep unspoken connection between firebending and dance. Think off all the times Zuko is on the backfoot, since season 1 versus Zhao. He was never a prodigy, was always considered weak by firebending standards and his family's standards, his form wasn't perfect. So what does he do? He breakdances. This happens so many times throughout the series it's easy to overlook as standard, but it's specific to him and wins him many fights he would have otherwise lost.
The power inside of him was never weak of heart, or else all the ninja stuff he does would never have worked, he would never have learned the sword when he realized his firebending was not up to snuff. Zuko endures, so why would he be so behind everyone else in firebending?
With firebending, he was taught in the rigid restrictive way of rage. He didn't have that the beginning so he failed, and then when he was rageful it was not from his own personality but years of trauma and shame. It limits him, it keeps his sister beating him, it keeps him from drawing wisdom from other nations that would make him stronger. His power boosts when it's an honest form of self expression and not rage or overvaluing strength (easy example, Zuko Alone. He remembers his mother telling him to always remember who he is, and just as he's all but defeated he breakdances and changes the tide). Just think, from this episode on whenever Zuko fights he no longer grunts or makes those loud yelling noises he always did. He finally heeds his Uncle's teachings and allows his firebending to come from his breath, Iroh having learned this same lesson before Zuko was even alive. He controls his breath instead of grunting from strength exertion.
I really love the connections fans are able to make between things in Avatar. Rlly shows how well thought out the writing and creative ideas behind the elements of bending are 😊
@@Daesma999 Considering what they did to the dragons?.....They didn't abandon their roots. They did their utmost to completely destroy them.
Hilarious that the Sun Warrior tells Aang and Zuko "don't tell anyone" and it immediately cuts to them telling the group about the Dragon Dance
I hope you guys take the time to notice that, before the Fire Bending Masters, Zuko grunts or yells while bending, but from here on out, he’s silent because he doesn’t draw from anger anymore.
Also, in the first episode Iroh tells Zuko that fire bending comes from the breath. Apparently, the original fire bending isn't. Hence, no more grunting and getting short of breath.
His fighting style also becomes more defensive and reliant on counter-attacks. For example, when he fights Azula for the first time, he charges in without thinking, throwing attack after attack at her, which she evades and deflects. In every subsequent fight against her, Zuko waits for her to strike, blocks it, then uses the opening to strike back. That's just how an inexperienced martial artist fights vs how a well-trained one does.
@@IamnotJohnFordI don't think so
Both Ozai and especially iroh take a or several deep breaths launching their opening attack during sozin's comet
@@IamnotJohnFord Firebending comes from the breath regardless. Iroh also uses the dragon style firebending but he constantly reminds Zuko that he must focus on his breathing.
@@IamnotJohnFordNo the original does come from the breath. Dragons literally breathe fire. He tells zuko it comes from the breath and not the muscles because zuko is always punching and putting his muscle into it when he should be more focused on being calm and breathing properly
I wonder if Dante Basco held in any laughter with the “Hello. Zuko, here.” Or, in general, just speaking lines that Zuko would have trouble saying out loud. 😂😂
He probably laughed reading the scripts and probably right after he finished recording those lines
@@elizabethp1772 Especially when he had to do Azula/Grey Griffin's voice, that bit was great
I can't help but love hearing Dante Basco say "dragon." For those unaware, Dante Basco - Zuko's VA - voiced Jake Long the American Dragon.
I always loved the "Judgement" scene.
Iroh talked a lot about Balance of the Nations to Zuko. And in this scene, we get to see them all represented in the harmonious fire: Red for Fire, Blue for Water, Green for Earth, and Yellow for Air. Right before Zuko says "I understand."
It always kinda felt like, asking with the real meaning of fire, he was also referencing back to that.
It's also important to note that to Zuko, fire was always pain and destruction. It was how his father hurt and scarred him, and so he only ever knew how to use fire as a tool to do the same, hurt others. He could never see it as beautiful until the dragons showed him how
"There's no way he can walk up to them and just say 'hi! Hello!' "
"Hello! Zuko here!"
I appreciate that Toph was the first one to see the big picture about having Zuko as an firebending ally. True, she didn’t have much of a beef against Zuko like the others, but at least she was able to give Zuko the benefit of the doubt and I respect that.
It ties in really well with her conversation with Iroh back in 'The Chase' episode. That was her first encounter with Iroh and Iroh's description of Zuko was her first impression of him.
She also probably did it because of Iroh
Also helps that she can tell he's not lying
@@William2669That, and the possible insurance from Katara's bloodbending.
Her seismic sense of truth detection helps a lot too!
“Hello Zuko here” a classic
Or a UA-camr intro
That's rough buddy
Book 3, Episode 12: So now that Zuko has joined, Team Avatar has a nice five-man band structure. Aang is the hero, Zuko is the lancer, Katara is the heart, Sokka is the smart guy, and Toph is the big guy.
Book 3, Episode 13: So something kind of cool is that in book 3, episode 2, we meet a fire nation that has had 100 years of war propaganda engulf their culture to a point where only Aang remembers the _old_ fire nation. At the Fire Nation school, he teaches kids to express themselves through dance. And what do Aang and Zuko find in this episode when they are trying to fire the source of firebending? A dance! Another really cool detail is that after this episode, Zuko no longer grunts when he firebends. That’s because he is no longer fueling it with anger. Also, a cool detail is that Zuko is more than likely deaf in his left ear (fan speculation) so before he would sleep with his right ear up so he could hear but now that he is with the rest of Team Avatar, he sleeps with his left ear exposed because he trusts everyone and doesn’t have to worry about being “at the ready.” And we see it in the comics but Zuko can also bend the rainbow dragonfire. There is also a really great video by the channel Sideways about the Firebending theme and how it being the end theme parallels the main theme really well.
All the YES to dancing!! Another difference between past fire nation and current fire nation is the throne room. Young Sozin's throne room had gaps in the walls that let the sun shine in, while the one he had built after Roku destroyed that one is closed off and dark.
It's almost impossible to be against Katara in this scenario. She loves Aang, her mother was killed by a Firebender, Zuko shattered her trust in him various times.
Exactly
I mean if the person you put your trust into the first time resulted in them picking the wrong choice and led to the razor close death of one of your best friends or lover, would *YOU* trust them again so easily when they seem to “switch sides”? Glad more people are willing to cut Katara some slack for her way of thinking towards Zuko when he first joins the team.
@@leohernandez8751good point. You what they say-trust but verify. But others? Verify and verify
Still, Katara has to trust Aang’s judgement regarding Zuko, and she knows that it’s essential that he learn fire bending right?
@@jmwilliamsartand she does, did you even watch the episode
I like that without the constant strive for the Avatar pushing him forward Zuko basically just became a really awkward teenager
Just take away the anger and you get them most socially awkward person of the entire show lol.
Just notice how Aang's voice matures over the series, especially in the near finale of book 3. When you compare with book 1, huge gap difference
Well the voice of Aang was actually a kid when the show was being recorded so makes sense
@@mitcheltillman2461 Just hoping they will mention how much Aang's changed over the series. From a pacifist immature kid, to growing open-mind and ready to do anything to protect his people. I like how in the first 6 episodes there ain't any fighting from Aang. Then later on he's more engaged in it
@@mitcheltillman2461If I remember correctly, the VA's voice was actually pretty deep by the time S3 was out (puberty, man) and he had to tone it back quite a lot for the show LOL
Btw, Zuko can canonically use that Rainbow fire whenever he wants. He doesnt in this, but in the comics, he pulls it out once. It is widely believed that Aang and Iroh can do this too. Also in terms of the original sources of bending, you're right in saying that each is based off an animal. The only exception is for Waterbending. Remember way back in Season 1, Yue said the Moon was the first waterbender.
I love how Zuko's personality fits so well into the group even though he's an anti-hero. He brings out a side of the characters that makes them closer to us, because at the end of the day, we're not just good
Dude! the full satisfaction of seeing Zuko being his true self and free from his father´s approval is one of the best things that you can witness in the series, and how cool it is to see him interact with Aang and his friends. And more will come forward!
Katara hit Zuko with the that’s my man speech
“The Firebending Masters” is another Book 3 favorite of mine and probably my favorite of the “life-changing trip with Zuko” bit. It was cool to see Aang and Zuko interacting with each other as allies, which was a longtime coming. Ofc, the best part was the two of them learning the traditional way of firebending from the last dragons, which was pretty epic. Great episode imo!
Pay attention to Zuko after this, after learning the true firebending from the masters, he no longer yells or grunts when throwing out fire like he used to.
11:15 fun fact since you mentioned it. There are comic books that came out after the series ended, and they take place either between episodes or after the end of the finale. And in one comic, Zuko and Sokka actually do duel with swords while they are here. Turns out, that Piandao (Sokka's master) also trained Zuko, which is why Zuko is so skilled with swords. He might have been even better, but since firebending is considered the true form of power, it is looked down upon if you don't have good firebending, so Zuko tried to focus more on his firebending than his swordmanship
When you really think about it, Zuko is a mix of all the main characters. His and Katara’s mothers died because of the fire nation, his family doesn’t accept him for who he is just like Toph, he’s bad with social interactions just like Sokka, and his destiny has been tied to the fate of this world since his childhood, just like Aang. He’s basically dealing with everything they’ve all individually had to deal with, that’s why from the beginning of book 1 it’s hard not to wish for Zuko to be a part of Aang’s team.. because it’s obvious that him being with them is exactly what Zuko needed to heal.
Remember how in the Headband, none of the Fire Nation students knew how to dance? The original form of firebending is a dance. The Fire Nation, by killing the dragons and punishing dance as a form of self expression, tried to kill off the true nature off firebending and twist it into something driven by hatred and cold conquest
Katara trusted him first and was burned. I love that shes quick to trust and holds a hrudge when its broken
The azula music playing when Zuko was impersonating her 😭
I like how varied the Gaang's reactions were to Zuko joining them. It's a complicated situation with lots of strong emotions, and I felt like all of them reacted in character.
11:14 Actually, there is a book where sokka and zuko have a "swordbending" match , sokkas words, where everyone watched
2:08 Zuko doing the intro of his first UA-cam video
16:03 Correct.
But one thing, the original water bender is the Moon/Moon Spirit. So not all the Original benders in nature are animals. 3 are but 1 isnt. But i guess you can say an alternate for water is koi fish like the form the moon n ocean took.
I totally understand the groups initial vitriol. The future of the whole world hinges on them alone now that all their friends and family are imprisoned. They are one betrayal away from oblivion.
In their eyes it wouldn't be strange if Zuko knifed them in their sleep, and delivered Aang to his father. The fighting the hired assassin could have been staged to make them trust Zuko. All their attempts toward the Aang Gang have largely failed. So, they could've been take a page from the Azula plan: Infiltrate as an ally, and attack from within.
This show really loves Iroh. Even off screen they still give you reasons to love Uncle Iroh even more, by giving him a complicated past but with wholesome twist.
Zuko adds such a fun dynamic to team Avatar
Legit, I adore his personality as a good guy
ik i wished we had more episodes of it😭
I really love the Firebending Masters episode; not only is it visually stunning, but it also shows us how Fire isn't a naturally "evil" element but also part of the elemental balance that keeps the world in check. The Sun really is a good metaphor for fire; it can be destructive, but it is also what makes life possible in the first place.
I also love how the "Dancing Dragon" is literally just the Fusion Dance from Dragonball Z lmao.
21:13 the sick beat being played has been playing throughout the whole series at points and absolutely was amazed they were foreshadowing this scene
I forget just how well they convey the majesty of the dragons, their sheer size and how it must feel to be that close. They are such beautiful creatures.
"This is my boomerang. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My boomerang is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my boomerang is useless. Without my boomerang, I am useless." The way of Sokka.
SHUT UPPPPP
When he started rehearsing at a frog, that’s when Zuko became my favorite character.
i do like how sparky sparky boom man decided he wasnt killing team avatar for the money, he just hated them at this point
Fun facts:
*Zuko was originally meant to join the gaang at the end of book 2, but Aaron Ehasz (head writer) felt it was too early for him to join and that he wasn't ready.
*Combustion Man (voiced by Greg Baldwin) died after the hit from Sokka's boomerang closed his third eye chakra, causing him to explode after he tried to use it again.
*Bryan and Michael (the co-creators) said they wanted to add Teo, The Duke and Haru to E11 (they would've found some winged lemurs during their exploration) but couldn't due to time constraints.
*The Western Air Temple's design is based on things like rooftops in Bhutan and Tibet.
*Eternal Flames are common in many religions such as Hebrew.
*E12 is the only episode to air on a Tuesday.
*Ran & Shaw resemble the red and blue dragons from Zuko's fever-induced dream in Ba Sing Se.
*The Sun Warrior's architecture resembles that of Indian Buddhist Stupas and Tibetan monasteries.
*Despite knowing the true motivation behind it, in Bitter Work Iroh told Zuko that firebending's fueled by rage and emotion.
''The firebending masters'' is hands down my favorite episode of the entire series. I rewatched the whole thing last year and the entire scene where Zuko and Aang were dancing with the dragons and afterwards the fire surrounds them left me absolutely breathless, it was just so beautiful to watch it that I couldn't even say anything, hell, even watching it now made me a bit teary eyed lol. Such a good episode altogether
11:11 a comic set at some point after this episode actually confirmed that Zuko learned sword fighting from Piando just like Sokka did.
Firebending masters also Completely Recontextualizes the season 1 episode ‘the deserter’. Jong Jong is a master, but he considers the art if his mastery a terrible curse of destruction to the point he wishes he wasn’t a bender at all, and is obsessed with how to keep it under control. But in ‘the firebending masters’ we learn *fire is life, not just destruction* revealing to us that while jong jong is considered a master by his peers, he actually isn’t because he, like most of the entire Fire nation, doesn’t understand this first tennant of firebending anymore.
In a feat of incredible writing this is actually freaking FORESHADOWED by the stage performance at the festival . Likely renacting a folk story dating back to before the war, the performer creates a dragon out of fire wich has ‘captured a princess’ Then he tries to rope it, but the rope is almost breaking and the dragon flies at the captive. We don’t know what’s supposed to happen next, because aang interrupts, but the performance ends with the fire bursting into multicolored confetti. I think this is not a coincidence at all. The performer is the only firebending we see in the episode not concerned with fighting, and what is it being used for? Entertainment, life, and expression. However, when it seems the bending is becoming out of control and will be harmful, the performance is stopped entirely out of caution, and we aren’t able to see the ‘true meaning of firebending’ recreation in the multicolored confeti that was clearly planned to be the finale.
Im going to go into theory territory here and say the important part of the folk story of the performance was the rope breaking, as a symbol of restraint. Id love to hear more theorizing on how but Ive sat here typing for way too long already.
Since they’re likley already done I feel I can write more in a repl comment with a spoiler warning
I think it’s interesting that this is the episode ‘the firebending masters’ rather than jong jong’s episode being named that. Because he’s also in the order, along with the masters in episodes named ‘sokkas master’ and ‘the water bending master’ so theres clearly a theme, albeit an incomplete one. Other than ‘the old masters’ this is the only episode without in the name scheme that doesn’t center around one of the humans in the order. At any glance after watching the episode it referrs to ran and chaw, but taking the lotus scheme into account you realize it likley refers to iroh as well.
That means the only member without a ‘masters’ episode all to themselves is bumi. I think the old masters episode tries to make up for that
“There’s no way he can just walk up to them and be like HI HELLO”
Meanwhile zuko: Hello- Zuko here 😅👋🏼
I adore how they went ancient native style of tribe. It fits so well. Zuko introducing himself and trying to connect with the group shows how even though he is royal he doesn't have social skills due to it. In a way same as his sister. Having to heal and grow as a person is rough. Now comes the next few episodes that are amazing for the group!
even tho ive seen this show and this episode hundreds of times, it never fails to put a smile on my face when Zuko is finally let into the group🤭
The beginning theme for the show is about the Avatar, but the ending credits are for Zuko. He was always supposed to be a main character, and the show is about both of them!
Fun fact this episode was foreshadowed in an earlier episode during the episode where aang had to find the Frozen frogs it's a small detail but one of the many items Momo brings back to soka and katara is a sun warrior crown with the two dragons
Fun fact after this episode zuko never grunts during fire bending because he’s no longer fueling it with anger.
One of my favorite things I noticed on a second watch is at the beginning when Iroh is teaching Zuko about fire bending on the boat you can tell his fire is different than the fire that Zuko and his sparring partner. Its swirls more, much like the fire Zuko and Aang use right after encountering the dragons.
That's not a detail.... Iroh wasn't shooting the fire at someone so of course its going to swirl
@@phoenixking9457 it is a detail. The fire doesn't look any different just because they're firing it at a person vs not at a person. His fire looks the same all through the series and it looks different than all the other firebenders because of where he draws his power for the fire. Most firebenders draw from anger and aggression and he does not. His firebending is the firebending of the Sun Warriors, not of the Fire Nation
the whole sequence with the masters is just gorgeous. i love all the detail making the dragons feel like a massive presence
Goku has such great character development
-Sorry for bad writing english is my first language
Zoku💀
Goku 💀💀
Grogu
I think you mean Zuko. But that's interesting that the name translates differently from your language. Don't listen to the rude commentors. Making mistakes in a second language still puts you ahead of those who can only speak their own language well... and some of them can't even do that. lol
@@CourtneyIsGoblin We weren't rude.
dragons are the original firebenders, badger moles are the original earthbenders, sky bison are the original air benders, and i think koi fish* are the original water benders! *waterbenders learned how to bend by watching how the moon pushed & pulled the ocean, but we also know that the moon and ocean spirits have been in koi fish form for a longer than humans can remember, so it makes you wonder if the other original animals were also inhabited by spirits and passed the knowledge on to the animals who then taught the humans
Fire bending masters is probably one of my top 10 episodes in the whole series. Comedy is great, amazing moments with Zuko and the final trial is so moving. Fire being as an expression of oneself and passion.
Love this episode but one thing that always gets me is the Zuko wall run. Those spikes are wide enough he could easily just walk through/between them. What are you doing with that risky wall stunt?
From this moment on. Zuko does not grunt anymore when firebending. I love that subtle change for him
Zuko truly has the best character arc in this show i just love his character
I honestly think the dragon egg that zuko held at the temple is the one that older Zuko is riding in legend of korra. Just like his great grandfather Roku. 🥰🥰
LOL that reference to those blue fire puzzles in Zelda was a deep cut. I remember the first one I did in Breath of the Wild for the lab I just had constant rain and had to wait 2 in-game days.
I honestly don't blame aang and his friends. Especially katara, since she was the first one to trust him back in the season 2 finale. because of that, azula has super close in killing aang.
But still, i love that this is the point where zuko is finally doing the right thing and see that his good for nothing dad was never a true father.
What do you mean super close? Azula KILLED Aang. Aang was dead and Katara brought him back to life
@@nicolas._.2294 really?? I thought he was unconscious 😲
@@firemiracleAnd don't forget: Aang was in the Avatar State 😱 Azula did more than almost kill him, she nearly wiped out the ENTIRE avatar line. Zuko's betrayal would've been global and irreversible 😳
@thedifferent14 If Katara had used the water for Zuko and he still betrayed them, Aang would've been dead dead! So glad the spirit water was used for the right person.
"Hello zuko here" is so awkward but I love it
I just wish that Zuko had been able to use the rainbow fire. Should have been called Dragon Dance too.
In the comics he uses it once
@@Fernandojooj i hope we can see him use it in the upcoming atla movie, i also wanna see toph metalbending more "artsy" style (? since they'll be young adults in the movie
Dragon for firebenders
Badger moles for earthbenders
Sky bison for airbenders
And moon for waterbenders
Am I right?
I Have been waiting for them to react specifically to this episode since the start of this series
A day ago: we will never let you join us
Next day: zuko come dance with me.
😂
Also imagine iroh doin the dragon dance by himself up there on the platform
The Western Air Temple (Along with City of Walls and Secrets) was my favoriteeeee episode as a kid. I was all about Zuko joining, it was everything I ever wanted and unbeknownst to me (Didn't exactly have access to internet back then), everyone was right there with me as far as.
This is one of the best episodes. LOL Anyone watching this series waits anxiously for this point and when it comes, it is amazing. His awkwardness is so endearing.
The cut to commercial break after the delivery of "Hello, Zuko here"
Brilliant.
Hearing the credits theme in context for the first time was so hype
It's getting so close to the end! I'm very excited to see everything that happens again.
If you're wondering Combustion Man is died they couldn't say because it's a kids show
Lots of people have pointed this out but they didn't seem to notice (yet). Before this, Zuko would angrily grunt whenever he firebends. After this episode, where he learned from the dragons, he stays silent while bending
One of my favorites episodes in book 3 is the headband(episode 2, footloose), but we don’t learn the full significance of the schools not allowing dance or self expression until this episode: ‘the firebending masters’. Here we learn that fire is life, the the original way of channeling bending was not by rage, but by pleasure, entertainment; self expression. So when Aang gives those kids that party he’s helping the next generation of firebenders move away from rage and conquest.
YASS FIELD TRIPS WITH ZUKO MY FAVORITE EPISODES🤭🤗i honestly wish we had more of them tho😭
The way they combine the episodes is actually how it is also set up on the Blu-rays
Netflix didn't list the double episodes like that, that's just how they originally aired on Nickelodeon, back to back. I was there.
12:13 yeah and Aang literally died because of it
11:11 There's a comic for that, called Swordbending
I love this series, and y'all's reactions to my number-one show are top-tier. It's no joke; rewatch it constantly. Notice new things every time. It is well worth multiple watches.
Yesterday and today was challenging for me to say the least, so having Ben 10 and ATLA on these 2 days helped alot, thx 😊
4:18 No, he also led a peaceful teamaking life. He hasn't bugged them in MONTHS, excluding the Azula sitch
6:51 You can't blame him for that, she stepped on fire and it was self-defense
Aang may have returned to his traditional monk wardrobe (ver. 2), but if you look closely, his pants and boots are still Firenation.
Don’t know if y’all caught it, but the “summoning chant” is the ending music
Combustion Man definitely had beef with the Avatar gang after they messed him up last time they met. It was no longer about the job, it was personal.
Not sure if you noticed, but the chant the Sun Warriors played was the ending theme.
It’s wild how Katara gave bro a death threat and this time she can do it effortlessly with blood bending 😭
If someone had a jam session ready to go outside my room and started playing the sun warrior chant, I would absolutely let them summon me with it. Such a sick beat.
Keep in mind that a lot of complaints about the fandom's reactions to heavy plot points in the show are from the mid 2000s, when majority of the fandom were pre-teens and teenagers. Likeability and emotional attachment drove a lot of the fandom's opinions and analyses of certain characters. Most fans nowadays understand the complexities of these situations, but the damage has already been done 😅
You know it wasn't until rewatching the series that I realized how short of a time zuko was part of the gAang. It just goes to show how perfect he is to the group after his arc in book 2 that it feels like he's part of the team much much longer.
Brilliant writing. Brilliant show. One of my top 5s of all time. Iroh is probably one of the greatest characters ever. Period.
i wish you guys got to listen to the ending music cause it was even more hype hearing the song you kept hearing since season 1 suddenly get played in the trial, and you get that "wait! that's the music!!!"
"Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, I mean come on." Is definitely one of the quotes ever.
It's crazy how much of the Fire Nation's own art and culture was lost to the war.
Remember how Aang was teaching the kids all about the traditional Fire Nation dances but those kids and even the teacher barely knew what dancing even was.
1:02 that feels so weird cause a week ago they were close
At least enough to plead his case with Uncle to get into the meeting and smile at him, and defended his withdrawing due to Lu Ten's death when he was younger
So it always hits me like ...??? Then "oh right he lashes out at reassurances like that, but even then" man idk
1:31 Hi, hello :)
13:09 ...oh jeez
13:32 that glance says no
14:42 i always love this shot
16:27 physics who
22:20 the shakiness and when Aang stumbles back is just...such a good shot for me
24:26 and then he stops needing to vocalize every move because of his new understanding and drive
Can’t wait for the Ember Island Players
Zuko: “Hello, Zoku here.”
Best line👌👍😂🤣😎
I’m starting to think that almost everything bad going on in Avatar is Sozin’s fault. He is the Ronald Raegan of the Avatar universe.
Can I just say the animation/art team killed it with the looks of the dragons LIKE LOOK AT THEM LIKE THEY LOOK SOOOO F ING SICK STILL TO THIS DAY like literally like genji hanzo NAH avatar dragon's YASSSS
"There's no way he's just gonna walk up to them and be like 'Hi! Hello!'"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Zuko saying I understand gives me chills every time
Gotta love zuko every prince always has some good story behind him just like my boy vegeta
