    A usually overlooked fact about Zuko is that while Azula is regarded as a firebending prodigy, Zuko is skilled with blades because he fancied it when Iroh gifted him one. To say that zuko is weak because he is not a fire bending genius is wrong. He is an excellent blademaster, and to incorporate firebending in it is something not all firebenders are good at. Zuko is very good, it's just that his family only sees firebending as the only skill that matters. It was Iroh's gift that led him to the path of using blades.

    I've watched this show several times, but only now I noticed that Zuko actually misunderstood his mom's words about not forgetting who he is. Right in this episode, she tells him in the scene with Azulon: never forget who you are. You're the one who never stops fighting, even if others have stopped.

    Toph's attitude can be explained by what she was running away from back home. She's determined to pull her own weight because everyone had done things for her, due to both her blindness and her family's status. She feels she has never experienced true generosity and kindness, only pity or obligation. Toph also had a very insular, isolating childhood. When she wasn't being protected or pampered, she was likely getting teased when sneaking out of her family's compound and exploring the city on her own. She has never truly had friends, thus Toph adopted the gruff, abrasive exterior to protect herself.
    Of course her attitude would clash with rest of the group. Not only have they been with each other for months, but working together was a necessity in the South Pole's close-knit community. Katara especially took a role in this as a motherly figure.

Even if you don't end up enjoying or liking it as much as this show, it adds so much to the overall lore, the animation is much better, the music stays incredible, and there are some very interesting new characters you get to meet. And also, it's very different, with very different themes, and the characters struggling with entirely new things compared to avatar the last airbender, especially Korra, who's a very different kind of Avatar than Aang.

    I think the assumption made that with Iroh as Firelord you wouldn’t need the Avatar to end the war is incorrect. Iroh is a warrior, honest and brave, fierce but still tempered by kindness. But, he wasn’t a conscious objector or a rogue prince, he actively prosecuted the war (likely in a more charitable/merciful way than his peers though). No one came closer to taking Ba Sing Se than himself, and before that he probably had a storied career of other victories and occupations. Really, what makes Iroh the Iroh we know and love is the death of his son. If that hadn’t happened and there was no palace coup, I think the Dragon of the West would’ve readily finished the war his forefathers started.

      Iroh was judged worthy by the Dragons before the siege so I imagine that if he succeeded, and became fire lord he would probably have legitimately tried to unify the nations and world in the way fire nation propaganda claims they were doing. I don't think he would succeed in it but I feel like he would try to do on his own in a sorta Avatar role but without disillusionment of the conflict he would need someone like Aang to challenge him to find some sort of common ground.

    Zuko Alone is regarded as one of the best episodes in the series. We get to understand more of Zuko’s backstory, him as a character, and why he is the way he is. We also get to see how Azula was as a child, as she clearly takes after her father.
    Even though Azula is clearly a daddy’s girl, and was the “perfect child” of the family, she too has insecurities with the family, particularly wanting approval from her mother. This will be explored a little bit in the next season.

    • @emilyprice178
      @emilyprice178 11 месяцев назад +17

      It makes me kinda sad when people write Azula off as a "psychopath." Yeah, she has very troubling behaviour, even as a child, but that is 100% Ozai's doing. He has molded her into this, encouraged her worst tendencies. I think without Ozai Azula would still be very cunning and precise, but she probably wouldn't be as cruel and vindictive. Ozai is the one who taught her that everyone else is beneath her, and that she needs to use fear to control everyone else.

      Azula “takes after her father,” because she’s literally being trained by him, one to one.
      Her mother doesn’t try and correct any of her behaviour. She literally watches her run past and says “what is wrong with that child?” Like, she KNOWS what’s wrong with her. But she’d rather protect poor neglected Zuko. When Ozais neglect of Zuko is what is making him a nicer person.
      I wish we knew what age Azula started showing her bending powers and when Ozai took an interest, because she’s only about 10 in the flashbacks and she’s already miles above Zuko and way way better at bending.
      Everything Azula says in the flashbacks is just her echoing what she’s heard Ozai say. EVERYTHING.

    A small detail in the fight at the end that i like:
    Iroh is obviously surprised to learn that Toph, who he met and talked with, is here and in a crew with the Avatar.
    He is distracted by this for a single second and Azula immediately notices and snipes him.
    Really great showcase of her attentiveness and precision while still being subtle and conveyed with simple editing to the point i only noticed this on my 3rd or 4th watch.
    Also i dont think Katara was insulting her blidnness with the stars thing intentionally, the comment was supposed to be about the tent she is hiding in blocking her view but it came out a bit wrong :D

      It was a very calculated move to go for Uncle Iroh, too, because she knows that in doing so, she'll hurt Zuko, too-- at the very least break his concentration. Two birds one stone. It's a manipulation tactic we see her do several times throughout the show; if Azula knows she can't beat someone, she goes after whatever/whoever that person cares about most instead.

    In The Chase, Azula was the only fighter fighting at her peak. The Gaang were all tired, Iroh was travel weary, and Zuko was half-starved.
    When they're all cornering Azula and Iroh gets hit, the Gaang throw everything at Azula: Aang, air; Katara, water; Toph, earth; and Sokka, bless him, throws his boomerang! You can see it stuck in the wall!

    Toph relies a lot on mental visualization when elements are in the air. She can feel the person move as they bend which can inform what their attack is. She's insanely good at it, but it's not a guarantee, 95% of the time she makes the right move to counter.

      I think it's a mistake to view Toph's labor as transactional. It doesn't matter if she adds no extra work; Katara's words are about setting up camp, but her meaning is about encouraging Toph to integrate with the group. Helping people when you don't have to and allowing them to help you in return is a vital part of learning to work as a single unit. That's why after she speaks with Iroh and changes her mind a little we finish with everyone so in synch. We even see her reflect the lesson back to Iroh with "you should tell him that you need him, too".

    Not saying she shouldn't help because the situation may is different and context is important, but if everyone has does their own dishes then the dishes are done.

    Okay so when Iroh looked at Toph, he was identifying the one who is at risk from a sudden lightning strike. Fire nation probably teaches the idea to strike the weakest link first, so both masters Azula and Iroh would know this. But Iroh was smarter than Azula.

      Although a cool theory, she probably just shoot Iroh because first he was distracted (he looked over at Toph when he realized the stranger from before was with the avatar) and second she knew that Iroh was the only one who could beat her 1 on 1, so it was smartest to get rid of him first.

      *my response contains seasons 2 and 3 spoilers* I always thought he was looking at Toph because, from their talk before, he had made her out to be a very observant person, and thought she might be able to tell that Azula was lying and tricking them by saying "I'm done. I know when I'm beaten." Not that he knew she could tell lies by feeling the person's heartbeat change, but just that he could tell she was a very observant and smart person. And Toph didn't react, so he must've thought "Hmm Azula must not be lying, weird." So therefore by looking at Toph and seeing her non reaction, he was distracted and letting his guard down, so Azula attacked him. And then of course, this might make us think "Wait, Toph *can* tell when someone's lying, why didn't she notice that Azula was lying in this scene???" Well, we know from the Black Sun episode in season 3 that Toph told Azula "Stick to the truth. I'll be able to tell when youre lying" but Azula replies "Are you sure? I'm a pretty good liar. I am a 400 hundred foot tall purple platypus bear with pink horns and silver wings." She tells an obvious lie that anyone would be able to tell is a lie, but then Toph responds "Ok youre good I admit it." Even though it was an obvious lie, apparently she was still *super good* and keeping her breathing and heartbeat regular, so Toph couldn't detect she was lying. That's my hypothesis as to why Iroh looked at Toph during this fight scene and why Toph wasn't able to detect that Azula was lying.

    I think every episode from episode 6 to episode 9 of season 2 is probably some of the best back-to-back episodes the show has to offer. It introduces Toph, it shows Zuko alone which I never really appreciated as a kid but I adore the episode now, it shows the chase which gives me Western vibes and I remember hearing this quote about the episode a long time ago is that there is a sense of clarity in the chaos and it's the first time You see Zuko set aside his differences even if it's in the middle of a fight for who he sees at that point in time as the greater enemy. Episode 9 is going to be great as well. I think you will enjoy it.

    Spoilers for Ursa’s story, but the Firelord did indeed order Ozai to kill his firstborn son, Zuko. While Ozai was indifferent and willing to kill his least useful child, Ursa couldn’t let that happen, so she made a deal with her husband. She crafted a poison to give to the Firelord, so that Ozai could get the throne like he wanted, as long as Zuko was spared. She had to be banished/go into exile after essentially killing the sitting monarch. That’s why the Firelord, being a picture of health, died suddenly, allowing Ozai to usurp the throne.

      I mean, Ba Sing Se is called the impenetrable city. Standing your ground as being impenetrable for a couple years (how does a siege even works against earthbenders, who can go underground, and in such large a city they can grow their own food inside... Anyway, I digress) is not exactly what I would call not giving up without a fight. I mean, of course they wouldn't surrender when an army surrounds their impenetrable walls, that's not putting up a fight, that's just basic expected behavior from a strategic point. The fact that he surrendered as soon as they had broken the outer wall is more like he didn't put up a fight at all, imo. And I believe that's there the little jokey in the line is supposed to imply... Never give up without a fight... Said the one who surrendered as soon as we broke what was separating him from us. But I guess it depends on one's point of view of what giving up without a fight means, so it could pretty much be interpreted both ways... That's why I said "possibly".

    I'm with the ladies on this; Toph is absolutely in the wrong with her stance on helping with chores. When you're part of a team, you contribute until the work is done. You don't do "your share" and then kick back while others keep working.
    And that's not a criticism of Toph's character. She grew up as a rich, shut-in kid with crappy parenting. Teamwork is a new thing for her. And there's also her direct, hard-headed personality that's likely to have initial clashes with any new friend group, and the fact that being just 12 years old, the parts of her brain that handle social interaction and understanding other points of view are still developing. Her behavior here makes complete sense.

They're on the imperial side. They may soften in other ways but the war is theirs and they support it. Had Iroh become Firelord, there's just a good chance he doesn't end up on the path he was on and just continues their plunder. The show also does a bit of retconning with regards to him, I think.

    Aang coming to Appa's defense really warmed my heart even though it was sort of bad he was yelling at Toph like that. Shows how much Appa means to him that he'd insert himself into the argument even though he's been trying to stay out of it for the most part.
    The Toph/Iroh scene was also fantastic! More Iroh wisdom and it showed that two people on opposing sides can be friends.
    And gotta hand it to Azula for taking advantage of Iroh when he let his guard down. I'm sure normally that would never happen on Iroh's end, but I suppose it just goes to show how Azula was really paying attention to every little thing despite being cornered.
