Poor Zuko 😥 Intro animator info in description!
The intro was awesome!
Ikr I really feel bad
Low-key I wish I could see the rest of your reaction of overlord
Intro looking straight goldly lowkey better than afros
How often do y'all do avatar episode reviews ...cuz I'm eager to see y'all reactions to the rest of book 2 (earth) and the last book 3 (fire)
Lu Ten's death was when Iroh realized there is no glory in war.
brave soldier boy, come marching home
@@joaosoares-rr5mj shoo get away with that mess, we don't want to feel stuff
@@joaosoares-rr5mj Listen I'll cry when I see it, I don't need you making that happen any sooner.
White, a bright light
If there'd be any glory in war
Let it rest on men like him
Also when he started gained his spirituality and joined the white lotus society
After Zuko’s Mom vanished, Zuko became the only person in his family who had any morals at all. Literally Zuko Alone.
Other than iroh
Ashley Panzica I think they meant as in his father & sister specifically as his “main” family
People arent black and white. Azula has some good in her even if its very very suppressed
@@gooddogreallygooddog6157 Where? I'm honestly trying to recall any sign of decency on either her or Ozai and I can't
@@christopherbacon1077 when ozai was a boy in that picture during the series finale
Earthbender: who are you?
Zuko: I am zuko
Me: hell yeah!!!
Zuko: son of Ursa and firelord ozai crowned prince of the fire nation and heir to the thrown
Me: shiiit u ain’t got to say all that
i think what the purpose of that scene was to not forget who you are, like what his mother told him, but yeah the I'm zuko probably should have been enough XD
"air to the thrown" lmao what? 😂
Thesmus i know I was just joking I also love how zuko for these people becomes the face for the fire nation to hate even after what he did for the town they rather support the thugs that dog them then him and that is because his nation not anything he did his nation who kills their sons and fathers puts them on the front line the loss that iroh felt for lu ten the loss zuko also felt li May feel for his brother who was captured and maybe even for his father if he does t return
Byron Walters ain’t nobody needed his whole biography could have bounced with like two more hot meals and some food for the ostrich horse
richdoughnut oh thanks I changed it stupid auto correct
Broooooo that intro has no business being that hardddd😤😤😤
Matt Prentiss yooooo No business what so ever 😩🙌🏾🙌🏾
Ong bruh, that shit was flames😤😤😤
Lol how animator look deku look way cooler than he does in the show lmao
Better animation 7ds season 3
SICK Intro!
7:12 For a split second you see Zuko and Azula laughing and chasing each other like regular siblings at play. I love that tiny clip. It's just the smallest glimpse that they had some good moments in their childhood where Azula wasn't being completely awful
That includes Zuko's flashbacks of Ember Island
Flashbacks in The Storm and The Beach also show Zuko having happy memories of his father, specifically one of him and Azula running around an playing while Ozai watches on as he walks behind them.
She was probably always gonna be kinda crazy, but without Ozai pushing her she probably would have grown up a lot more normal
@@evasmiljanic3529 She was probably always a sociopath, but she likely could have been close with Zuko if it wasn't for Ozai.
Never noticed that. I really wish there was more of that. I would have loved to see an alt universe where zuko and azula got along as children and played together
Zuko was a late bloomer with firebending but he excelled in swordplay. Too bad for him his father never valued Zuko's non-bending combat skills
Which is crazy considering master archers, the Yu Yan, we're such an asset to the fire nation for so many years. So if Ozai had taken note of Zuko's training, he could've created an entire squad of non-bending killers, trained by Zuko, since Piandao would refuse.
Zuko's redemption arc is one of the best I've ever seen. It's a wonder Zuko didn't come out worse with Ozai and Azula. Iroh heavily contributed to that. Thanks for the reaction!
A good cup of tea does wonders
True but Zuko was always different, which is shown in "The Storm" when he gets punished for protesting against sacrificing young soldiers
@@gaiusx287I agree. He always had more Roku than Sozin in him. The opposite was for Azula
And ursa too
It's not a redemption arc tho, he was never a villain. Zukos arc is him healing.
Iroh aged so much due to the death of his son and he has aged even more now since having been on the run with Zuko who has lost heaps of weight due to his poverty in his travels
Good thing he was fat when he started travelling with Zuko, right?
Lost so much weight.....for now
they aint ready for tales of BA SING SE....
Guys, I think they meant Zuko when they said he lose heaps of weight.
Ursa states that Zuko is "someone who keeps fighting, even though it's hard". That same message is meant by the inscription on the dagger Iroh sent him. Zuko heeded these words carefully, as he mentioned to Aang in "The Siege of the North, Part 2", "I've always had to struggle and fight and that's made me strong. It's made me who I am."
It's also ome of the meanings of the word Shinobi, "one who endures", which Zuko is an excellent example of.
New Intro lookin HELLA CLEAN!!!🔥🔥🔥
火
Definitely lit!!🔥🔥
@@X_Juice_X aaaaaah hahaaaaa
My eyes melted outta my skull. Tf I’m supposed to do now?
@@tannerpayne4384 put it in the fridge
So many levels to this show it’s not just the Fire Nation that are bad people in this world
The Earth Kingdom soldiers in this episode and the ‘Avatar State’ episode have been portrayed as twisted and power corrupted due to the effect of the war
Yeah, the EK is losing the war and the real/good soldiers are out fight, leaving these losers to protect villages. Twisted is a good word for General Fong. He wanted what was best for his country, a swift end to the war, but at the expense of Aang's physical and mental health.
Lol yea the show goes in depth about how every nation has its own twisted people.
And the North Water Tribe is sexist xD
@@TheWilyx and the air nomads....wait who?
That intro was too sick. Y'all need to sit down with the heat lol
Turtle Ducks are adorable.
I was thinking about The Storm and how Azula was smirking when Zuko gets burned. She would have been about 11. She was always so messed up, I mean, cray cray. I was abused as a kid and my brother and I were talking about our worst memories of it were what happened to the other. I didn't remember the stuff he said happened to me and he didn't remember half the stuff I remembered about him. It haunted me seeing my brother hurt.
I agree..... I love the turtle ducks
It's crazy how an abusive/toxic household can affect children. Thank you for sharing a bit of your story and I hope you and your brother have both healed from it. Unfortunately, Azula's character is an example of how some children turn out because of an abusive household.
@@darkflame728 Yes, I had more to expand on my thoughts about it but didn't want to put any spoilers. It IS interesting how it affected Azula and I think it's telling about who she is and how her arc in this story ends.
I have essentially blocked out the abuse I experienced as a kid, so I can relate. Now there's a gulf between me and my sisters because they trigger ptsd in me just being around 2 of them, because I used to step in when our parents would make them cry and get them to redirect their anger towards me instead. Or they tell me about bad things that happened to me that I dont remember until they say it, like the time my mom tried to choke me. Memories are weird. (One parent was an alcoholic, the other was addicted to pain medication so they dont remember much of what they did to us, so they say. The worst part is, my mom defends herself by saying 'I did the best I could' and I'm just sitting here in disbelief like 'that was your best? Dammmnnn...glad you never did you worst then)
@@joevanno4323 When I read that your mom choked you I got so much ptsd cause it reminded me of when my dad almost choked my sister to death in front of me. It was weird between us, either we stepped in for each other or did nothing (which was mostly just her staying out of the situation when I needed help or saying it was my fault that I "made them mad") As we got older she kept blaming me more and more until she just stopped trying to help me at all. She would even scream at me when I was crying from the pain. I doubt she remembers but we don't really talk now. We still live with both our parents and she talks to them while I just stay in my room. I don't know how she does it.
I actually think the turtle duck is one of the creators' more appealing animals. Book 2 has some crazy hybrids in it
Zuko took after his mother’s kindness, while Azula took after there father. But the sad part is that there father only ever saw them as tools
When Zuko beats the earthbender and reveals his identity, a man in the crowd shouted that Zuko's own father burned him. However, in "The Storm", it was implied that this fact was not publicly known, as Zuko's own crew, who had been traveling with him for nearly three years, was under the assumption that he got his scar in a training accident.
Was probably revealed recently after Iroh popped her off a boat
The fire nation is an authoritarian regime, so it reasonable to suspect that the truth about Zuko is suppressed among its citizens but might slip out to other regions that aren’t yet under fire nation control.
Alex 3.14159eater I agree
Azula could have announced info on Zuko, and rumours started spreading.
As to why the villagers acted hostile towards Zuko even after he'd defeated the bully soldiers, imagine if the son of Hitler walked into a town of Jews.
I said that in a comment too
well the son of hitler, and theres been a long line of hitlers b4 him aswell
The Fire Nation isn't really comparable to the Nazis until Sozin's Comet returns tbh. It'd be more like if the Crown Prince of Japan went to Korea when they were a colony pre-WWII. But yeah-Zuko shoulda just said he was a rando peasant from a Fire Nation Colony with a Firebending deadbeat dad or something.
@@seto_kaiba_They wiped out the Air Nomads, I would pretty much consider them to be the same lol. That being said, the Fire Nation is based on Japan, so you're not wrong.
@@creativeartivity Indeed-but by this point that was 100 years ago and neither Ozai nor Zuko had done anything like that. Maybe a better analogy would be if Hitler won the war, had multiple successors that continued oppressing people but not going full genocide again (yet).
"egg had to come from somewhere."
"Maybe a chicken flew over."
I always laugh so hard! Never fails lol this will forever be one of my favourite Zuko quotes ever... which is saying something, coz Zuko has some decent one-liners hahaha
When I watched this video it seemed like Zuko's mom, Ursa, killed the grandfather. It sounded like the grandfather wanted Ozai to kill Zuko to teach Ozai what it is like to lose a son like Iroh. Ursa found out from Azula and killed the grandfather, and I guess something happened to her as well.
Princess Ursa did indeed orchestrate Azulon's death, and for her treason Ozai had her banished.
Boss Isaac
Zuko: “So she’s alive...!”
Ozai: *”Bitch, she might be-“*
Go read comics
I feel like Ozai was the biggest bastard of the family. Even after Sozin committed genocide and God knows what Azulon did (probably was the one who tore down Fire Nation culture). Sozin at least cared about his nation enough to fight a volcano and Azulon cared about his family. Ozai used his family as bargaining chips and was willing to go through Fire Nation colonies just to wipe out the Earth Kingdom.
@@Dustin_Frost Well, Azulon declaring that Ozai must kill Zuko for daring to propose he takes the throne from Iroh because he lost Lu Ten is not exactly caring for his family that much. He still ordered a father to kill his own son, his grandson. I see Azulon's decision as him showing that he won't tolerate anyone who tries to steal power and corrupt the Fire Nation royal succession, even if it comes from his own family.
It's also possible that his mom killed the fire lord to protect Zuko and that's why she vanished the same night
Have you seen the show? Just asking, not judging
@@X_Juice_X not gonna say one way or the other since the group is still going through the series
she did its shown in the comics the search.Ursa poisoned Azulon in his sleep because Ozai was going to kill Zuko and she was banished for that.
@@fondedan4078 Actually, you can spoil ATLA all you want. They're already on Legend of Korra on their Patron. Other commenters have talked about it before
@SockMonkey Gaming They expanded on Zuko's mother and her past in the comics. Totally worth reading.
Ion usually comment but new intro is 🔥🔥😤
What a _positively charged_ comment
Except goku didn't explode
@@Yahirplaysminecraft What do you mean by that.
@@jademaryland3733 saitama punched goku and he didn't die
@@Yahirplaysminecraft Oh well saitama is stronger but I think goku could take a few punches and I thougth you were talking about deku I was about to go off XD
Townspeople: Fire Nation ain't shit.
Zuko: I'm Fire Nation.
Townspeople: YEAH?
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that when Zuko announces who he is, he says his mom's name first. It's "Son of Ursa, and Fire-Lord Ozai" not "Son of Fire-Lord Ozai, and Ursa" - His mom is the priority
This episode always gets to me😩😩😩😩😩
Can’t Forget to mention that Intro though 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
"Zuko got that Vegeta arc that doesn't suck"
LMAO
THAT NEW INTRO IS STRAIGHT🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
meh
Dead Pixel 😂😂
Roshis soft "aw" when flashback-mai blushed when she saw zuko is so cute
The fights in Avatar are so fire because they had to get creative with the age-rating and all. It also probably wouldn't be as much fun to watch if people are instantly crushed by sandwiching rocks, impaled by icicles, burned to a crisp, or torn apart by a whirlwind. They couldn't show blood or death without risking getting the show canned or moved online (which does happen very later on in Legend of Korra, but for a slightly different cause of death and possibly for another reason). Also, Iroh pretty much had depression ever since his son died up until Zuko's fight with Zhao.
You just made me realise a world with even just 1000 benders around the world (and there’s probably far more in the armies of every kingdom) would be literally bloody terrifying.
I’m pretty sure it’d be FAR worse than Attack On Titan, regardless of how well the law is administered on people.
Avatar Extras" stated that this episode is the series' equivalent of a Western, being similar in many ways to the 1949 novel, Shane.
The doll given to Azula has the same hairstyle and headband as Toph.
Thank you! I've never seen anyone else talk about the Shane homage, but it's practically beat-for-beat. It's almost at a parody level (though obviously it's not parody), that's how similar they are.
SS2Dante so true
Kathrina makes sense
The entire episode is filmed like a western a man with no name goes to a town defends strangers against some bandits then leaves
YOOO THE INTRO SHOULDA ENDED WIT YALL SITTING ON THE COUCH WATCHING EVERYONE FIGHT😭😭😭
Gotta be honest this is my favorite episode.
One of my favs for sure 👍👍
The knife Zuko got from his uncle when he was in the siege of ba sing se, it says on the blade "never give up without a fight" but the blade's owner surrendered as soon as iroh broke down the wall 💀 the comedy and the irony 😭😭
Oh the IROHny!
That new intro just in time for hearing about Roshi being added to fighterz 😤✊🥳
Turtle Duck: *exists*
Roshi: *SHOOK*
Bro that was the cleanest intro i EVER seen 🔥 i need that to be a show no cap 💯
Y’all the part when Zuko’s mom was telling him “if you mess with their babies-“ it cut off there and an ad of a guy unboxing a CHAINSAW played. Perfect 😂😂😂
At the pond, Ursa explains to young Zuko, "If you mess with [a mother's] babies, they're going to bite you back." This foreshadows the "vicious, treasonous things" she does to save Zuko's life, as is later learned in "The Day of Black Sun, Part 2: The Eclipse".
Before other episodes in season 3 this episode provided the closest and clearest glimpse of Fire Lord Ozai's face, with his mouth shown when he spoke, albeit at a distance and barely visible.
This episode's title "Zuko Alone" references that Zuko is the only major character appearing in it, except for flashbacks.
This is the only episode in the entire franchise in which Team Avatar does not appear.
The field of large earth coins that Zuko passes through is the same as that in which Avatar Wan lost his life millennia prior.
Byron Walters hey man I’m just reporting facts
Even from this episode, it becomes clear once you consider who it was that threatened Zuko’s life and who it was that died shortly after.
your comment was great till u had to mention korra :/
iReiGN xx yeah perfect frame work
Zuko travels on the ostrich horse he stole from Song and her family at the end of "The Cave of Two Lovers".
Zuko's dagger was first seen in "The Avatar State" when Zuko and Iroh cut off their topknots.
Zuko's mother, Ursa, is seen for the first time.
The pregnant woman and her husband, whom Zuko decides not to rob, would later be seen
I need roshi to take matters into his own hands and yell "CAPTAIN PLANET" in the beginning 😂
The generals knife said “never give up without a fight” which is ironic since he immediately surrendered when iroh broke through the outer (not even inner) wall. Goes to show how promising iroh’s attack was. This proves iroh didnt “quit” because he couldn’t emotionally go on after his sons death, in fact, he CHOSE to not take part in the very thing that took his son away from him: the senseless war. This is when he changed as a person. This was his turning point and the thing that makes him such an amazing character.
I really appreciate Sheera for putting Ozai into the conversation of why Azula turned out the psycho she is. She turned into a baaaaad person, but mainly because Ozai had all his attention on her while Ursa had all her attention on Zuko.
Loved the intro and the reaction!!
That Intro Though
Wait who was sasuke fighting and who won??
The deep thing about this moment is that when Zuko‘s mom told him to never forget who is she didn’t mean to not forget that he is the son of the fire Lord and hier to the throne. He was supposed to remember is that deep down at his core Zuko is a good person and even if the world gives him shit for being a good person he will always stay a good person and that’s what his mother didn’t want him to forget. Zuko‘s arc is about him not having the answers to who is, realizing that all the answers he need about who is, he had them all along. Perspective was what needed to be changed that’s why his guard in the eye symbolic of vision his father wanted for him.
YOOOO THAT OP WAS CLEAN
Zuko finally realize that his people are doing shitty people, while we also found out that jist because there's one big enemy showing off, that doesn't mean there isn't enemies waiting for their turn in power. Love this episode.
YEA!?! WHY DID THE INTRO HAVE TO GO THAT HARD? I REWATCHED IT LIKE 10X 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thats the hardest intro on UA-cam ive ever seen, wtfff
You should look up "Azula's Psychology" video...it's heart breaking.
She's so well written and one of my favorite Avatar characters.
And yeah, the problem with Azula is basically her parents..plural, while Ursa had a kind soul, she was never really that kind with Azula, not as the way she was with Zuko...it is better explained in the video I mentioned.
Lol I think everyone has the same reaction when the mom said “what is wrong with that child?” 😂😂😂😂
Zuko is shown fighting without using his firebending for the second time, the first time being in "The Blue Spirit".
And they're my favorite episodes of this show.
This is peak Avatar. Gonna keep on going up from this. Gotta love the inner zuko battle.
2:04 When I watched the legend of korra and got back to see this road scene, I went really mind-blowing, took me some time to take the reference
Avatar wan dies on this road
@@Themandalorian935 BRUHHHH How did I not notice this before I've watched both series so many times and I never noticed that.
@@Themandalorian935 Thank you for pointing that out
@@calicojack804 yup, he's right, it's the same background
Damn, I never caught that! Thanks :D
Iroh is interesting because there's a lot of room to interpret his backstory. What I get from that flashback - he was actually a bit of a spoiled idiot (though an extremely talented firebender) before the death of his son. He doesn't seem to take his siege of Ba Sing Se seriously, callously cracks jokes about burning an entire city to the ground and gets Zuko and Azula gender-specific gifts when anyone with even an ounce of sense would see that Azula would much prefer the dagger, or something like it. This it NOT the empathetic, kind, thoughtful man we see in the show.
That, combined with the talk of his spirit world journey and how he got the title "Dragon", indicates to me that after the death of Lu Ten he wandered the world a while, a broken man putting himself back together. He gained knowledge, wisdom and empathy from these travels - learning from other civilisations, meeting with the spirits, finally seeing the world as it was. Eventually he returns to the fire nation a much better man, planning to influence the fire nation in a positive way - his specific plans at this point are unclear. He bonds with Zuko, but shortly afterwards Zuko is banished and Iroh follows him, unable to abandon his surrogate son, determined to be a better father now than he was before. That's my take, anyway.
I'm sad that they cut the part when Azula says "who's going to make me, mom?"
It's so evil. Young Joffrey in the making lol
Iroh needed to find himself too. After losing his son,iroh needed to find himself. That's when his redemption happened. If he would have taken the throne, I doubt he would have gone through the WHOLE character change and growth he went through
As u can see, iroh sends them gifts and loved his son, this shows that he did actually value atleast family, meanwhile ozai values power. If iroh would have taken thethrone, I'm pretty sure he wouldnt have ended the war, but just wouldnt have been as cruel. The loss of his son and power of the throne probably would have made iroh bitter or not the fire lord his ppl would have wanted. So I perfer that he didnt get the throne. He needed to find himself. Zuko if u noticed has a crappy family and lineage but he still has iroh and had his mother that had hope in him to be good. Iroh and ursa definitely helped zuko not lose himself to want to please ozai. Azula is a daddy's girl but its obvious he doesnt really care or love his family as a father should. He was mostly proud at her display of power. Ozai sucks and I cant wait til u guys watch more. Love the reactions
This episode reminds me of an old western called "Shane". It's what partly inspired the maker of "Logan".
The thing to remember is Zuko *was* a nice guy. He became bitter and driven to capture the Avatar, but he was banished because he stood up for his people.
This is one of the show’s best episodes to me because of a few reasons:
1. It shows why Iroh turned away from the ideals of the Fire Nation. He realized after losing his son just how much pain he was causing the citizens of the Earth Nation. He likely was horrified of realizing how many people he deprived of their fathers, sons, grandsons, etc. He understood that the Fire Nation’s war was full of shit.
2. It shows how Zuko really isn’t a bad person at heart. He’s just damaged. He came from a broken family. His grandfather convinced his own father to kill him just to prove a point, his sister is a complete sociopath, his uncle was the most feared general in the Fire Nation, and his mother disappeared.
3. It shows just how much good Zuko can do when he is not under the constraints of the Fire Nation. When he realizes that the Fire Nation will only accept him back as a prisoner, he becomes his own person. He shows that he is capable of great compassion for the downtrodden and will gladly put his life on the line to protect the innocent.
4. The episode is the first time Zuko gets a clear look at just how horrible the Fire Nation’s invasion has been on the Earth Kingdom. Families have been destroyed, people are living in fear, and there are soldiers using the war to extort the people they are supposed to protect. Zuko entered the Earth Kingdom, viewing its people as nothing but obstacles in the way of capturing the Avatar. However when he is completely disowned by the Fire Nation, he is forced to view the world from the eyes of the common man, not as a prince or an exile who still had a ship full of soldiers forced to back him.
5. It shows Zuko the painful reality of prejudice. The Earth Kingdom has been ransacked for so long that its citizens HATE anyone coming from the Fire Nation and honestly, no one should judge them too harshly for it. Even after Zuko takes a terrible beating to save a child and liberate a town, the citizens STILL shun him due to his origins. This planted the seed of Zuko realizing that the Fire Nation has not inspired anything good outside of its borders. It has brought nothing but fear, pain, and hate.
6. What the old man said about Zuko is the third time Zuko has heard the painful reality of how he should start to realize just how terrible his father is. The first was when Zhao pointed out that if Ozai really loved Zuko, he would accept him with or without the Avatar. The second time was when Azula told Zuko just how much of a disgrace he was in the eyes of Ozai and how he would only accept him back as a prisoner. The old man, who is an outsider, points out just how sad and pathetic it is that Zuko would desperately seek the approval of a man who burned his face and banished him just for talking out of him turn when he was just a kid. The fact that Zuko’s shame had now reached the common people was likely the biggest embarrassment for Zuko because it was becoming common knowledge just how hollow his existence was.
To this day, I think Avatar: the Last Airbender is one of the greatest shows in the history of television, not just because of its great humor and amazing animation but because of the sheer brilliance of its storytelling, as exemplified by episodes like this.
Such well written observations. It really is a great show
The sad thing though is Azula was only 14 and was the way she was because she longed for her fathers approval because she didn’t get such from her mother. In the end I felt bad for her
SPOILER WARNING FOR ZUKO MOM. Although I suggest you read it or the comics because the show doesn’t really give you any info on her.
Zuko mom has a hella dark past. The whole show won’t tell you much about her other than she than she was banished to save Zuko. This is her full history:
Ursa lived in a small fire nation village and was a skilled herbalist (her mother was a master herbalist). She was madly in love with Ikem and they both took part in the local theatre (that's where the blue spirit mask comes from). Ikem proposes to her on the stage when they're rehearsing a scene.
Ursa is overjoyed and runs to tell her family only to find her mum crying over Roku's headpiece and is told her dad is in the greenhouse with visitors and she should go to them.
As Ursa was the granddaughter to Roku, Fire Lord Azulon forces her to marry Ozai in order to fulfill a prophecy from the Fire Sages which will give great power to his family in the future.
As they're leaving town, Ikem tries to stop them by blocking their way. Ursa tells Ikem that this is what she wants and it will bring honour to her family. She's trying to keep him safe even though it hurts.
At the wedding Ozai tells her that she can no longer have contact with her family or old life.
She pretends to go along with this for years but instead continues to write home, passing the letters to a servant who agrees to send them on for her. Later we find out that none of these letters made it home and the letters were just hidden away on the orders of Ozai.
When she became suspicious, Ursa wrote a letter to Ikem saying that Zuko was his son. Ozai confronts her and says her actions were treasonous and that he's taken steps to kill Ikem. When she asks him why he's done this when he knows that Zuko is his son, he asks her why she wrote the letter. She says that it was because of her suspicions that the letters weren't going anywhere and that secretly she wished that was the case. Ozai says that from this point he will act as if her wish was granted....
Later when Ozai asks for Iroh's birthright to be given to him instead (after Iroh loses his son), Azulon is furious and tasks Ozai to kill his firstborn to feel the same pain (a bit short sighted on his part considering he's all about power and lineage...).
Ursa overhears Azula teasing Zuko about it and confronts Ozai. He confirms he's going ahead with it. Ursa makes a deal - the throne for Zuko's life. She crafts an untraceable, odourless poison. However she must immediately leave the palace after creating it (because Ozai is smart if nothing else) and she's not allowed to take her children with her (or Ozai will hunt them down).
That explains why Ozai seems to hate zuko, Ozai himself was a 2nd child who believed himself to be more worthy of the throne, and he sees Azusa as the same, more worthy than her older brother.
I was going to sleep and went onto YT to find some music to fall asleep to, saw this... well I wont be sleeping for another 20 min or so ;)
Ight i saw the version of your intro wit just you at the end but Lupa and Sheera on it too??? Absolute fire brother
I really think that Azula cares in her own way. That one snap shot of her and Zuko chasing each other before ursa got the scroll and the two of them laughing at Iroh’s letter show that she wasn’t always a ruthless killing machine. I think her saying Iroh should have bribed Ba Sing Se is how she expresses that she’s pissed her cousin was killed. She can’t express emotions like a normal person so she turns to anger. What she’s actually saying is “Ba Sing Se took my cousin away, we should avenge him and burn the city to the ground. And Iroh is a coward for not avenging his son”
Agreed!
THAT INTRO CLEAN AF, it took me a whole min to realize that was the new intro when I first saw it, thought I was watching a completely different video 😂😂😭
Ok after that intro: I recognize you as the Turtle Kai!!!
By far one of my favorite episode of ATLA. Zuko's character development throughout the show is phenomenal and is the reason he is one of my favorite characters.
YESSS THE INTROROOROROROOo
and when you think about it, ozai probably favors azula because of her being a psycho or whatever but also bc she’s the younger child and he identifies with that- he probably has an older sibling complex or something, because he likely resents iroh for automatically being the heir and taking what he sees as his. so he was probably more likely to favor azula even before she came out crazy
Congrats on 200k subs
Yo, if you guys like this series. You should get the patreon. They're already done with the series and are on the legend of Korra
Korra? That's a giant "meh" from me.
@@Lycanthromancer1 lol
@@Lycanthromancer1 yeah, if they let the makers do what they wanted instead of only being told to make 1 season, it would have been infinitely better, it had so much potential.
But they were given a limit rip.
Do they like Korra right now?
@@KikonSketches The opinion that the company influenced the show's pacing or approval is a myth.
Finally been waiting for this 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I think the way it really went down was that the fire lord ordered ozai to kill Zuko after trying to steal the throne from iroh but zukos mom interfered and cut a deal with ozai to spare zuko if she killed his father for him but she had to leave forever and not come back.
FIRE ASS INTRO! Also, loving the reactions! Def subscribing, the dynamic with you three really works
Son I had to watch that intro like 10 times shit was heat 🔥🔥
Fun fact: if you guys or any one who's watch Tyler Perry Daddy's Little Girls movie, the leader of soldier is Joe, the drug dealer from the movie
*Well nOW I CAN’T UNHEAR IT!*
That’s some AMAZING trivia!
"why bother rollin around in the mud with these pigs?"
people stay the toughest things walking away...lol
Yooooo the opening is clean asf 🤩🤩🤩
Yo that new intro look fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
OKAY OKAY NEW INTRO LOOKING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Broooooooooo! I was not ready for that intro 😱 I had been waiting for it since you told us a couple of days ago about it but I had forgotten because you were still using the old intro a few times after that. It was straight 🔥🔥🔥 I played it back a few times 🙌🏼💯😎
I was so confused by the new intro I was like "did I click on the right channel" bro that was so fucking sick
OK ROSHI? Dropping a new intro for a surprise like it was nothing, too much fire on it.
One day I'll be able to animate like that intro right there! shout out to who made that fr
I have seen this series but I am more than happy to watch along with y'all and relive the same joy I had for these episodes when I first seen these.
I feel so sorry for Azula. She didn’t get love by her mother and the father gave her attention is not her fault for being like this. But one thing is that she’s mad powerful.
I love you vids so much love the new intro :second by the way

Hands down the best reactors not only for this show but in general! I absolutely love all your videos and CANT WAIT for you guys to go through all the episodes.. I'll lose it when you get to the finale , it is fantastic

New intro 🔥🔥🔥
That intro was fucking dope🔥🔥🔥
This is one of the best episodes of this show.
Fire intro 🔥🔥
YOOOOO THE INTRO
Fun theory: ty lee is possibly an air nomad (non bending) because shes so agile and quick in her work. Her family is guessed to hold an ancester that fled the temples and is an elite ranking offical in the fire nation. (Good disguise)
Also her hair is brown, eyes are grey, has similar head shape of aang, and works at a circus. Which is work that travels place to place like a nomad.
there are no non bending air nomads
intro was bumpin and yall picked up so much things in this episode so quickly damnnnn
