      Antoine Bandele let's see, Iroh vs Ozai, who would win?
      If I was a betting man I would put my money on Iroh, why? Because
      1. He's powerful too in his own right, his own father was going to make him fire Lord of the fire nation.
      2. He has experience on the battlefield
      3. He has both techniques and abilities that his brother don't have
      4. In his prime, he was a legend, he was known as the dragon of the West
      5. He's wise, calm, collected, clever, and smart.
      6. He was a prodigy like both his brother and his niece azula.
      7. He has multiple fighting styles but he only uses one element (fire) , meaning he fights as though he was the avatar.
      That's why I think that Iroh would win in a fight between him and his brother Ozai. 😏fr

      It isn’t a good point because firebender that shoot lightning instantly like azula and Ozai did it because it was part of the reflexes. They shot it during battle. However, we know mako can shoot his lightning in one second but in the final stand, he takes his time. Iroh was only showing zuko the power of lightning because he wanted zuko to master the basic movements of lightning before actually generating it in one second.

      I honestly agree with this. He was so calm and collective all the time. He never had to show his full power or ability. In quick bursts we see it, but he never actually unleashes it. Its almost like the sun just lashing out little solar flares. He only uses what he knows will beat his opponent. Sadly, unless he plans to kill his own brother, Im not sure.

    • @whiteknight8734

      Because he never believed in the use of destruction and death to begin with. Even before his son's death, he had a kind heart and was enlightened. He naturally is a better and wiser bender than Ozai. That is pretty obvious. However in terms of raw power it's hard to decide cause we have never seen Iroh going all out. Even he destroyed Ba Sing se's wall, he was calm, composed and not using more force than needed

    I think an important part of the question is "why would Iroh fight Ozai?". The most like scenario would be both Aang and Zuko have been killed and Iroh realises "Ozai must be stopped, no matter the cost". Another factor is victory conditions. Ozai must survive to win, Iroh does not. Mutual destruction is a win for Iroh.

Also Ozai didn't challenge Iroh directly for the throne, but used a sneaky method when Iroh was depressed about his son's death and it still didn't involve strength. Iroh would whoop his ass anyday.

    No, it's because in Fire Nation tradition, you don't interrupt an Agni Ki.
    It's a "Fire Duel to the Death" between the two (unless like Zuko, they decide to spare the loser.) So interrupting one would be considered 1) Shameful/Dishonorable. And 2) Would essentially be a forfeit for the person they're interrupting it for, as it would prove they couldn't win.

      Just cause your capable of fighting incredible in a fight doesn't mean you'd be as capable as your prime. Bumi is strong but he's probably way stronger in his prime I would imagine. Iroh is indeed capable but not as Ozai who is younger, stronger, and more agile. It's honestly pretty obvious who would win and although Iroh is more skilled that wouldn't be enough to ignore all of Ozai's advantages. That being said if this was prime Iroh the battle would probably be a wash. Anyways I hate how people mention old characters who strong as an argument like they aren't affected by age. Kyoshi is different I'd say though. I honestly am unsure when and how age affects her but probably why she lived so long was because she was the Avatar which may have factored in. But you can't really compare Avatar's to the norm.

      If in the show they are comparable in a fight, then I'm pretty sure if Iroh was Ozai's age then Iroh would probably win. Not a stomp though, he would wear Ozai out or outsmart him. Iroh can mount a strong offense against Ozai and yeah Ozai's offense would be more powerful but probably not as tactical or precise. Iroh mechanically is the best firebender we have seen in the show. He showed more skill in firebending than any other bender, with his precise and lightning-quick movements and his fire breathing. If you can think of something to do with fire, chances are Iroh is a master at it. Iroh can blow fire so it's likely he knows how to do other very advanced bending. Iroh also used more fighting styles than Ozai, meaning he branched out more and learned more than Ozai and can pull from all that knowledge. I'm also meaning precise and control more like if you had to sustain the perfect amount of fire on a target at range for a very specific amount of time and it had to be the same amount of fire exerted the entire time, then Iroh would be better at that than Ozai, if you had them do it 10 times Iroh would probably win 9 of 10 times at least. Iroh is like the Pro RLCS Rocket league player Jstn in mechanical abilities, Ozai is more like Jknaps. Jstn can do anything he wants with the ball, and Iroh can do anything he wants with fire, Jknaps is a more overwhelming player and can get ahead of himself but has a lot of potential to pop off, just like Ozai. Jstn is more balanced and can style on you more than Jknaps, but Jknaps will probably score more against you with his tenacity. Ozai is only comparable to Jknaps if Jknaps is consistently good. Jstn is fairly consistent and uses very little boost and very efficient with every movement, and Jknaps uses more boost and isn't quite as efficient but still very efficient compared to other players.

      Well besides the scene establishing the comet's power with Iroh's line just before literally being about the crazy powerful feeling, Iroh also broke through the Ba Sing Se wall which the drill took hours-days to do. That is WAY more raw force. Imagine how much power it takes to give fire the density to break through a hardened stone wall with no fragmentation points due to it being made by earthbenders. Iroh has the far superior feat regardless. As well it isnt implied that the series of breaths helped him put out more power and visually is exactly the same as a powerlifter exhaling several times before a big lift.
      "People say iroh is more skilled, which I dont believe since ozai could fly and he did it with little effort and with full control suggesting he had already practised it"
      Flying is a measure of power since he is essentially just creating thrusters. You can make a case for agility since he adjusts direction very quickly, but a single skill does not state overall skill when said skill is primarily rooted in power output. As well Iroh's style is literally about being rooted, as he taught Zuko. Flying is not all that useful to him in any avatar circumstance presented, and we cannot assume that iroh CANT fly.
      "He is way more agile and fast judjig by how much time he was able to evade avatar state aang, while also throwing attacks that aang in avatar state needed to defend against and not just shrug off"
      Iroh was able to completely disable the bending of both zhao and azula from several feet away. He clearly has the superior speed physically. As well he weighs more and is likely a lot stronger for that reason. Beyond that he is the only one in the entire show that is able to react to REAL lightning, no warning, no prep, during a crisis. And there is no evidence aang had to deal with it, simply that he was on auto-pilot and that was the most efficient method. Iroh up close didnt even attempt hand to hand combat against a CHILD and tried to use bending which availed him nothing. Single minded, not super intelligent, and ineffective
      "He could also breathe a very big amount of fire and every move of his showed great skill"

So boiling a lake away is an immense feat, but iroh would be relying on the combustion of air molecules in an open area to punch a hole in that wall, which in real life would be nearly impossible, or he was making fire so hot that it was turning hundreds of tons of stone immediately into gasses, which is also much more impressive.

    I personally see this playing out in a similar final outcome to the Zuko/Azula fight. You can make the case for the younger sibling Ozai to be superior in terms of raw power, but Iroh is the better, smarter fighter, and the one with the clearest head. Ozai could never usurp his older brother directly- he had to kill his own father to finagle his way to the throne. That he seems to have never confronted Iroh in their youth speaks volumes to me. Ozai, for all his power, probably had the sense that he couldn’t defeat his older brother in a true fight, so he robbed him of his birthright instead of challenging him for it.

    -Iroh was trained in bending far longer, and thus has come up with a more fluent way to do anything with it
    -Iroh could redirect lightning, Ozai could shoot it and do basically nothing
    -Iroh, during the war, when he tried, broke apart the, supposedly, toughest wall in the earth kingdom, with one of few hits. Ozai couldn't get through rock armour at his peak.
    -Iroh is wise, strong, and definitely has more stamina, as shown by him escaping the entirety of the fire nation from a heavy-duty prison by himself
    -Whole Ozai was at his peak during Sozens Comet, Iroh would also be strengthened During that time
    -Ozai is called the strongest Fire Bender, not a Fire Bending master, meaning while he is strong, he is not refined. Iroh is both.
    -We all seem to forget that Iroh basically took on 10 people at once during the ambush by Azula and the Di-Li in book 3.
    -Iroh is patient, waits, listens, and knows when to strike. Ozai is the Fire Bending equivalent to the Boulder.

    • @callmegosohard

      I was thinking the exact same thing. Iroh comes off as a defensive master much like obi-wan and I think it would nearly mimic the Zuko-Azula fight where Ozai eventually gets frustrated and makes an over-aggressive error. On the other hand, Iroh is much older and if he made even one or two mistakes would likely give Ozai an opportunity for a fatal move.

    I think iroh might have a hard time but because he studied all the other elements and learned from them who would come out on top in the end, even if all banged up or beat up. Ozai would only see and study fire. It was made clear that studying the other elements can make you more powerful too which Iroh embodies. So while he might take a whoopin, he would come out in the end. Pure fire bending alone can't win against the knowledge and experience of all the other elements combined with firebending, lightning and redirection.

He can keep up with younger fighters pretty easily while retraining himself. Also, while Iroh doesn’t want to kill and is reluctant. In this kind of situation, I don’t see him being unwilling to do so. He even said to Zuko about Azula “No, she’s crazy and needs to be put down”. He will kill if it means saving the lives of countless innocent people.

He was not a good person prior to his sons death so afterword do you think that as soon as his son died he became the man we see in the series? No it took taking a step back and wandering theworld while looking for his dead son and traveling into the spirit world for him for iroh to be more sure of himself. He now says that he regrets not doing anything for Zuko which is why when Zuko was exiled he went with him. Iroh is not perfect he is human too and he has admitted his faults and regrets which is why if given the chance to right his wrongs in a fight with Ozai he wouldnt hesitate to kill him.Yes iroh had good in him since he saved the last dragons but he still was going to invade and forcefully submit thousands of civilians from Ba Sing Se so not exactly a saint from the start which makes it hard to believe that he would suddenly do all the right things when he was at least in a morally grey area prior to the life changing event that was his son's death. Also why would he challenge ozai and throw the whole nation into chaos which wouldnt be resolved well enough because as he said it would look like a brother killing a brother for the throne so no significant change could be set in place from the very foundation if it was perceived as more violence for power. I also think that iroh didnt want to be fire lord and if he took over would zuko hate him? What would happen with Azula? Any decision he would make would look bad since its they way he got the power and there would be dissonance withing the ranks and military against iroh. Would he individually be capable of handling all that while being mentally unstable?

As we saw, Ozai DID NOT know the technique of lightning redirection, a technique Iroh himself invented. I think its fair to say Iroh is definitely the more strategic of the two while Ozai is more focused around one strategy : overwhelm. I feel confident in saying iroh knows his brother well enough to maneuver him into a position where, like in that fight with Aang, lightning redirection would be his downfall. The difference is Aang couldnt fully go through with it and stopped the attack short, whereas I believe Iroh would do it if it had to be done and choose to live with yet another burden rather than letting his brother go unchallenged any longer

I think they "store" the energy temporarily in the stomach, this is when Iroh explains its called the " sea of chi" I think the reason Zuko is able to do it is from his clarity of mind and purpose in that scene allowing his chi, no longer blocked, to flow freely, and remember Zuko is no novice, he's trained with the best firebenders his whole life and defeated Zhao, a general in the army, in a duel super early in the show. As for Aang, well, he's the freakin avatar and has usually mastered techniques super quickly, i mean like, 4 elements in a year at 12.

    3:15 I disagre with this argument because we see minuest later (in the episode) when ozie is fighting aang other fire benders on other blimps doing the same amount of damage.

      Yeah, iroh used a more focused attack because that was what was needed to penetrate the wall.

      @@hunterpro_1 exactly. You cant just blast some fire at a concrete wall and expect it to come down. The reason it came down is because he basically created his own bomb.

    Valid points. Though I recall Iroh generating lightning much faster while escaping the Dai Li in Ba Sing Se

      Yeah, but that was more equivalent to boom-boom man's explosive compression thing. Iroh sent a compressed powerful blast against a small section of the wall to minimize damage yet still create an effective entrance. The White Lotus was there to liberate Ba Sing Se, not damage it further. Iroh demonstrated both great power and great skill by doing that, not just unrestrained fury.

      @@Seastallion I wasn't talking about the power or skill Iroh displayed at the point. The original comment was about how fast Iroh can generate lightning, he said he did it faster in ba sing se when running from the dai li, and I said that we never actually saw when he generated the lightning

      Even so, between Iroh's injury and the fact he was demonstrating for Zuko are major factors. No one trying to teach something does it quickly while demonstrating how to do it. That scene really wasn't a fair demonstration of Iroh's ability, as he really wasn't going for speed or power, merely a basic presentation.

    Iroh would definitely go in with a plan. Besides, ozai's weakness was proven to be redirecting lightening. In the two fights we saw ozai in, he used lightening so it's safe to assume he would do it again and Iroh would redirect it.
