what an amazing episode!
I love your videos bro
One of my favorite episode
There are two higher levels of fire bending one is lightning but other is explosion
Bro keep making content y’all make my day 10x better
Destiny my ass
I like to imagine Iroh used the secret flame-triggered ink because he figured Zuko would get frustrated and burn it.
Lol 🤣😂
Headcannon accepted
Since the vast majority of Firebenders draw power from emotional imbalance, and seeing the state in which Zuko visited him in prison, it was a fairly safe gamble.
I think he just used normal ink and laminated two sheets together to hide it unless light passes through.
Zuko anytime anything mildly inconveniences him:
🤬🔥🔥🔥📜🔥🔥🔥😤
Roku’s dragon shielding him with its own body and choosing to stay and perish with him will never fail to make me tear up.
Honestly...that was true love right there
He could have taken him in his mouth and flown out 😭
@@zubabee he definitely could have but even if he’d managed to take Roku off the island, Roku would have died either way from how long he’d been exposed to the toxic gasses from the eruption. It was probably better to just stay there and go out as quickly and peacefully as the situation allowed.
Roku was so weak and stupid, not killing Sozin the moment he mentioned his plans at the wedding, and not fleeing the island on his dragon. Places, people, and things can be taken away from you, so never attach yourself to these things, that's what it means to be an avatar.
@@olowoyoibukunmi5243 That's loyalty.
Remember how in Zuko’s dream he sees himself as the avatar when he looks in the mirror? It hits differently now.
OH SHIT I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. That's not a direct correlation but that's fucking dope
In one dream, he saw himself as the Firelord. And in next, he saw himself as the Avatar. It all comes together.
What episode was this? Zuko alone by any chance or another one
@@hindude4572 I think it was "The Guru episode"... right before season 2 finale, when Zuko was sick.
That scene is wayy less goofy now
Toph: "do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?"
me: *bawls my eyes out*
I also felt that man. Just finish rewatching Korra
"Nice to see you again, Twinkle Toes."
@@Zombiewithabowtie nice to SEE????? Jk, that scene hit me so hard
And the fact shes afraid to lose her friends since these are the only ones she has.
@@deanjoyner1829 yesss, shows how much she cares about her friends and how soft she actually is despite going out with a tough persona
When you realise Azula is also a descendant of Avatar Roku
Well even Iroh admitted she was crazy and beyond help at that time; but makes you wonder how she would be if her talents were groomed by her mother and not her father.... she's charismatic, cunning, smart, pretty and powerful - with the right guidance maybe she could be one of the best royals the Fire Nation ever had.
i imagine roku saying "i ain't claming her". but on a serious note it's interesting how zuko and azula are polar opposites that kind of represent their two different family trees. I wonder what azula's reaction would have been if she found out she is related to Roku and if that would have started a conflict between right and wrong in her.
@Naomssi I doubt she would have cared. You see it through out the show and why it conflicts Zuko, on his discovery of it due to his nature and past actions. However Azula would probably just see it as the reason, why she is a prodigy and such a powerful fire bender. Perhaps it would just make her wonder how powerful can she get due to her heritage.
@@Darksword-786 depending on the propaganda they might have made the Avatar a supporter of Sozins regime and Azula might be proud to be a descendant of a powerful bender
But she got Sozin's side the most because he's ruthless and has no mercy while Zuko got Roku's side the most because he at leasy still feel remorse
"Some friendships are so strong, they can even transcend lifetimes" - Avatar Roku
👀
Damm Zuko and Aang 👀
It’s nice to see you twinkle toes
Well scientifically speaking
It makes me wonder how Monk Gyatso viewed Aang
Fun fact master sud , roku’s earthbending teacher is the guy we see earthbend in the intro , and was supposed to be toph till they changed him to roku’s earthbending teacher
Yep
Glad they did switch. Toph is a little too recognizable.
They should have made toph roku teacher and the other guy aang teacher we need old peps
Smart
More suitable this way. The Gaang has stronger bond with toph cz they have same energy as kid, etc.
“Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?” Is a line that has stuck out in the fandom for years. It’s sort of unintentionally become connected to a main theme of the show in the nature of love.
Easily one of the show’s best episodes. Zuko and Aang parallels are the best episodes and best scenes.
Agreed. This and the episode from season one where you ave Iroh telling the story of how Zuko got his scar and was banished from his home, while Aang tells katara about his guilt and why he ran away from home.
Hopefully they don’t read this and spoil themselves but I love seeing this question knowing the answer in The Legend of Korra.
Well...
"Do you think friendships can last more than a lifetime?"
*Many, many years later*: "Hello there... twinkletoes"
@@alphamorion4314 Was true with Monk Gyatso decades before Toph
Spoiler for LOK (Legend of Korra), sequel to ATLA
Also sweeter when you realize Toph did end up meeting n befriending Korra in the sequel coming full circle.
Last Airbender Movie: "The Avatar can't start a family."
Zuko: *stops existing*
But is it still incest if the new Avatar sleeps with the children of the previous Avatar?
they mixed up Monks not having a family, with the Avatar not allowed to have a family.
@@DMindGaming If they're not directly releated, they are safe to be dated.
@@DMindGaming wait what
What do you mean
Huh what was that a rule lol
"Sokka, you just spent 24 hours in the spirit realm, how do you feel?" ..."Like I seriously need to use the bathroom."
"Do they have bathrooms in the spirit world?"..."As a matter of fact they do not."
I don't know how many times I watched this before I really got that joke.
2 seasons build up
🤣🤣🤣 Set-up and payoff at its best
holy shit I never noticed that
Wow I'm now realizing that
Well... congrats for finally get the joke 😂🤣
Iroh: “Good and evil have always been inside you. Only you can find a way to make peace.”
Zuko:What about Azu-
Iroh:Sssshhhh.
Yoda: No, there is another. (Sees Azula) Nevermind...
"She's evil, and she deserves to go down"
Bryke: " Azula deserves redemp......... "
Fans: " NO "
@@TheMrPeteChannel
I mean I still think she deserves one but the only problem is that she’s TOO FAR GONE to be redemption in the end of the series and from what I remember of her in the books that talks about after the end of the war she just got mentally worse
@@HoneyPooOoO actually in smoke and shadow she deals with her problems and she is free kidnapping children and other random shit.
That is why Gyatso care about Aang so much, because for Gyatso its just like play with Roku again, because Roku part of Aang :(
I had a stroke reading this
"Aang, I'm not going to let them take you away from me."
@@yarriegiddings8533 lmfao
yarrie giddings 🤣🤣
Roku is Aang in another form.
The Blue Dragon represents Sozin and Azula's influence. The Red Dragon represents Roku and Iroh's influence.
That is why when Zuko is at his lowest, he became the Blue Spirit.
Peyton Alexander where is the correlation ??
Correct that Sozin and Azula represent the blue dragon.
But Zuko became the blue spirit because of something his mom used to do and a certain mask she had. IDK if you familiar with the comics or not so I won't give away to many details
@@moloddz4367 why are you doing that
@@moloddz4367 so you're stealing from the people who need that money to give to people that don't need the entertainment. Got it
@@moloddz4367 who are you to say they don't need the money? Do you know the total on their bank account? Do you know the bills they have to pay or the people that could be dependant on their income? Or goals they're aspiring to reach?
You might pay for it, but handing it out freely to people is stealing, it's piracy. If people are so broke that they can't afford the patreon, then they should be happy to wait until it comes to their youtube page
This is one my favorite episodes, animation wise. Notice how Iroh is never shown behind bars and there is always a beam of light over him. On the other hand, Zuko is always animated with the bars in front of him, even thought he is not the one in prison, and there's no lighting on him, it's actually darker where he stands. I love that attention to the details the animators had.
That’s a great observation
after all these years I never fully realized this but kinda noticed it at the same time. thank you for this i just had a huge realization moment! what genius storytelling
Someone watched overanalyzing avatar lol
@@xalat6277 why u say that? We all got our own meanings and perceptions when it comes to art
"Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
👀 the tea is hot 🍵🔥
Awesome Matt cod Cold War?
@@bignumskull2211 what?
I learnt this from teen wolf as well Aangs fighting skill when he doesn't really fight
Aang:"In another life, do you think we could be friends?"
Zuko: "Die!!!"
Thinking about it he kept silent during the whole blues spirit fight. How hard must have that been for zuko, who yells if he sees anything
@@DarthCaedus7 being sarcastic
He says if we knew each other back then do you think we could’ve been friends too?
That was the Sozin in him
"LEEEAVEEE!!!"
When they talk about the Avatar dissapearing, they mean the Avatar in general, not a specific Avatar...
Aang dissapeared, but no one knew that he was the Avatar except for the air nomads.. so as far as the world knew, the avatar cycle was broken *(which is what Katara says in the 1st intro if the series)*
exactly
Well said
Plus aang being 12 they told him too early cause they predicted worldy conflict. The air nomads were still alive when aang was alive and he had friends over the world before he left( no war yet). Aang ran away and got frozen and then the war began with no avatar to protect the world("he vanished")
Thus following this train, Sozin’s Comet passed 12 yrs after Roku died, starting then was the 100yrs after 🙌
@@Zareznr The comet actually came through a few years after Aang disappeared
You can tell the revelation of Zuko’s mother’s ancestry genuinely shook him. The past few years of his life has been dedicated to hunting down the reincarnation of his great grandfather. On top of that he realizes from Iroh’s speech, that his inner turmoil means that he truly IS capable of doing the right thing, something greater than what he used to consider his “honor”
Definitely was the big push for him to start making the right moves
Notice roku said the training was "bitter work" also the name of aang's earth bending training episode
This whole episode is filled with setups and payoffs and easter eggs and clever jokes I love it
Sokka knows the spirit world doesn't have bathrooms from Season 1
"Kung fu" also translates as "skill achieved through toil" - in other words, "bitter work".
I love that
This show brings everything full circle. This is literally the blueprint of how to make a nearly perfect show
It's the same with Aot in a way
Same with fmab too, ive never seen a show forshadow as well as fmab

@@chrishawking1406 ...is this a joke...
But everything changed when the Fire Nomads peacefully abstained from violence.
Zuko had Sozin's eyes, but got Roku's heart.
Thats a perfect sentence right there
Also, 69th like ;)
@@xnortheast1106 what do you mean nope?
It also remind us in the book 1, at avatar roku's temple. He set free zuko as well, turns out he is his greatgrandson.
In Korra he has Sozin’s beard and Roku’s hair (:
And Azula has Roku’s eyes but Sozin’s heart and will
Parallels
It's Aang that disappeared. Aang was the Avatar when the comet came, 12 years after Roku died. That's when the world needed him most.
he would have got clapped he was lucky he ran away i dont see him running away if his people is getting reked.
It's both, really. The air bender monks knew he was the Avatar, but the rest of the world didn't know about him yet. They just knew he'd be an air bender. Roku should have been around to deal with Sozin, but then Aang disppeared too.
You kind of have to look at them as the same person, just with different bodies.
Its just the timing of the comet
Id say Katara is talking about the figure of the Avatar, not a specific person.
I disagree, i think it was roku
Fun fact: Roku's earth bending teacher is the one who we see earth bending in the intro, and he was supposed to be aang's teacher but the creators decided to go with Toph.
I thought that was The Boulder
@@juicetm6984 honestly they look super similar.... my official non-cannon lore is now that the boulder is the great grandson of Sud lmao
i heard that was originally toph but they decided to change it to a little powerful girl
Aangs original teacher was going to be a buff dude, they scrapped it for toph. They used the design later for bolin in LOK
@@juicetm6984 idk why this comment made me WHEEZE 🤣🤣🤣
While in the Spirit World, Aang was bald and wearing his original airbender clothes again.
If the visions of Roku's training in this episode are an example of usual Avatar training customs, it seems that while training in each of the other elements, Avatars will wear the standard clothing of that nation but return to their own when they have mastered all the elements.
During Roku's wedding, guests in blue and green clothing can be seen, representing the openness of the four nations before the War.
The Fire Nation colony that Roku and Fang see has a large wall, similar to that of Ba Sing Se.
The stance and motion that Fire Lord Sozin uses to sink and redirect the volcano's heat energy directly mirrors the form that Iroh and Zuko use to channel and redirect the energy from lightning.
When the Eastern Air Temple is seen burning, the sky seems to be orange due to the comet.
This is the first chapter in Book Three that Iroh speaks. Iroh's long period without dialogue is believed by some to be related to the death of Iroh's Book One and Book Two voice actor, Mako, but on the DVD commentary, the creators had previously planned to have Iroh silent for the first few episodes.
Roku said, during his wedding flashback, that as the Avatar, you get noticed by the ladies. Aang got this same advice from the other prisoners during his time in the Chin Village prison.
This is the second time that Roku gave Aang a specific time and place to meet him, namely during the summer solstice at his homeland. This mirrors the episode "Winter Solstice, Part 2: Avatar Roku", where Aang had the chance to talk to him during the winter solstice at the Fire Temple on Crescent Island.
Fire Lord Sozin justifies the invasion of the other nations as sharing wealth, a concept derived from Japanese Imperialism. In World War II, the Japanese Empire used an ideological construct, "Dai Toa Kyoeikan" ("The Great East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere") to justify invading China and conquering the South Pacific, just as the Fire Nation has invaded the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes.
Roku's wife, Ta Min, makes her first and sole appearance in this episode.
This episode is alternatively titled "The Avatar and the Firelord" on iTunes and the DVD.
The creators stated this episode to be one of the most complex of the series, with by far the most background designs of any episode. This is the last episode in the series in which Aang enters the Spirit World.
I appreciate the knowledge. Some of it I knew, but there was some new stuff.
Love the exposition! Let me expatiate on some points you made.
The ideology Sozin used as justification for Worldwide homogenisation is a common rhetoric perpetuated by imperialists (Britain, USA,imperial Japan etc). Which denotes spreading their ways of prosperity to those they deem to be regressive to save themselves from themselves(Talk about Superman complex lol).
Sozin’s theory of conquest is indeed synonymous to Japan’s “ East Asian co-prosperity sphere” which was a core Tenet of the “Tanaka War memorial of World conquest” which was a integral driving force that started the Second Sino-Japanese war.
Also, Sozin was seen to be very aware of different bending fighting styles, which he incorporated in his own. His play fight with Roku shows him using water bending style moves, which explains how he knows how to redirect heat, very similar to lightning redirection.
Sozin’s initial plan for world peace, was with Virtous intent, As the Earth Kingdom has always been in a state of disarray, Severe corruption and incongruous. However, once confronted by Roku and being a recipient of the power of a fully realised Avatar, he became petrified of that power and knew that he needed to eliminate that risk and thus wiped out the Air temples.
Every time I see Toph say “Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?” I tear up and hear in my head “Nice to see you again Twinketoes”
“I am frozen... sozin!” 🤣
Sozin wasn’t Ashbending.
He was literally sucking the heat out of the magma.
Roku was lavabending tho
Pierce Westbrook yes he was 😎 it’s an earthbending substyle but also being a firebender helps to learn it
@@caruzo9631 no it doesnt😂 its only earth
@@chupapi7620 no a firebender can lava bend just as an earthbender can like how a waterbender can bend mud and and earth bender can also bend mud
@@eseisobi9768 lmao😂 no they cant, they can heat the rock untill its lava but it stops there, they cant manipulate it because its earth but molten
Iroh knows zuko knows he would have eventually figured out the message whether from being clever or losing his temper
The post credits debate:
'When the world needed him the most, he disappeared'. It refers to THE AVATAR, both Roku and Aang are being called out in that statement. Avatar Roku went half measure on Sozin knowing his plans just because they were friends in the past. Then Avatar Aang fled the Air Nomad Temple because he was young and didn't want the responsibility of being The Avatar. It doesn't matter that Aang was too powerless to stop the Fire Nation (He was). His actions to flee the temple caused The Avatar to DISAPPEAR for nearly 100 years. But a child would not have found himself in this situation had the Adult not failed his mission (Which tbf this is hindsight). The Comet happened weeks/months after Avatar Aang disappeared.
I still think it’s just aang being called out because no one needed roku per se because he had already been dead for 12 years no one expected him to handle it but they expected the next avatar to step up even if he was only 12 but bc the only people who knew aang was the avatar died when sozin wiped them out but they knew that they never found him so from the ppls perspective their thinking like katara was saying in the first intro that roku must hav died in the avatar state and broke the cycle so aang was just never born and they just didn’t hav an avatar anymore. Aang had never been announced as the avatar so other nations didn’t even know abt him so when he wasn’t there sozin may hav thought that he escaped somehow and started looking just Incase but everyone else is thinking that the cycle was broken. “Everyone says that the avatar was never reborn into the air nomads and that the cycle is broken, but I haven’t lost hope”
Yep in the end Avatar is the same soul reborn over and over again... a fail on one life is a burden on all their shoulders; Aang himself had to deal with past choices of more than one previous reincarnation and Korra experience the same hardships. Aang was already born with a legacy, that including not only the wins but the fails.
My thought is only sozin was there when roku died, maybe he kept it to himself. The world was expecring roku to act in the war but he was dead, they only think that he vanished. Most of tge world didnot know the identity of new avatar so they think the cycle end
@@selamau3 So you think his wife Ta Min and the other villagers didn't assumed he was dead? I'm pretty sure they know he died in there because he hasn't appeared. They probably checked the island after it has cooled off.
@@lincolneyar8269 that will more likely happened
Roku flexing with the tea 🍵. Uncle Iroh approves.
I also love how when they were revealing zuko’s great grandfathers they crossed the scar; it was shown talking about sozin but hidden when roku was revealed
The ultimate plot twist of this season is finding out zuko and aang are technically family
nah aang was born from a random ass air temple couple. Zuko and Roku are related
Owen Halloran Roku and Aang share the same Soul. Aang and Zuko knew each other from their past life. Just think in terms of energy. They were destined to do this shit no cap.
@@BigDog-kp2mj Then imagine how many people aang is related to...
they are only related by rava not by aangs soul or roku or blood
spiritually family i guess
an interesting thing with the framing with Iroh and Zuko, that Iroh is framed as being free while Zuko appears like he's the one behind bars
Prisoner of his own mind and emotions. The frustration and guilt he feels are like a prison to him, and Iroh tells him that understanding his own true destiny will free him.
Trevor THANK YOU this is such a great thing to point out
This show keeps getting better
@@moloddz4367 you really gonna do our boy roshi dirty like that? They work hard for all the content they give us. If they want at least a little compensation for early reactions they have every right to do so.
@@moloddz4367 and second...?
Notice how when Sozin takes the heat out of the Magma, it's remarkable similar to the way Iroh redirects lightning
The VA for older Sozin is Ron Perlman. GDT Hellboy and the narrator for most of the Fallout games (he did most of the intro cinematics, most of the end slides and cinematics, and had a lesser role and sort-of cameo in F4 as the news reporter in the start). Also, can you imagine the kind of Avatar guidance Roku was getting from Kyoshi; she probably kept telling him to ice Sozin's bitch-ass before he gets out of hand.
Yooo that last bit made me laugh 😂
I can just imagine Roku meeting up with Kyoshi
Roku: What should I do?! He was my best friend! What would you-
Kyoshi: Kill his ass 😈
Man, I wish they made a show just focused on the past 4 Avatars.
That's why I love Kiyoshi
He’s also been Deathstroke multiple times including the original Teen Titans cartoon.
At 3:44 and 13:22 you can see the resemblance of the two scenes where Firelord Sozin first helps Avatar Roku only to let him fall right after.
Sozin loved Roku as a brother and really wanted to help him, but in the last second he realized that he could fulfill his long dreamed plans without him, so he let him die.
If he truly loved him,he wouldn't have let roku died,sozin is a POS
@@SupportGamin2024 it helps no one to be reductive. No one is denying hes the worst, just that he has more dimensions to him than just that.
2:38 Lupa lookin like he just saw invisible ink on the declaration of independence lol
Like Nicholas Cage? ;p
Watched national treasure yesterday, did ya?
Watched national treasure yesterday, did ya?
8:20 i love those scenes in avatar, i'm a geography major and we study a lot about how these philosophies were used by conquerors to justify their expansion, it's always fun to see how the show touches on stuff we study, and how it does it well.
1:25 Yo those fake subtitles had me freaking DEAD XD
same lmao
I saw that and was gone💀
I didn't notice until you said something. That is AMAZING
I actually believe Sozin’s initial vision for world peace was actually with good intent, as we know the fire nation and it’s people have always been relatively prosperous and harmonious compared to the Earth kingdom, which has always been corrupt and disorderly. However, he became corrupted once he witnessed, first hand, the power of the Avatar and how the Avatar could potentially impede that vision.
I never think such reasoning comes from a place of good intent because it's always about self pride
christianaayodele which is exactly the source of Nationalism, self pride (patriotism). It’s the same rhetoric endorsed by Countries such as Britain,USA, imperial Japan, Nazi Germany etc. That they desire the need to spread their country’s ways of prosperity and serenity to uncivilised and barbaric countries to save those countries from self-destruction, for the greater good, however, along the way these practises become corrupted or are used as avenues for corruption and exploitation.
The fire Nation wasn't always prosperous read the Kyoshi novels the fire nation had warlords fight for territory and the fire lord position wasn't always powerful
I don't think you understood the show if you believe he had good intentions
Roshi is right at the end. The whole time they make it SEEM like they're talking about Aang. But really Roku disappeared right when the world REALLY needed him. Aang was like the backup plan that also disappeared. I think it really means both of them.
Conversation at 18:00 could straight be a double entendre. You both could be right tbh
yeah they both have valid points
very true.. I think both are correct, but I usually think Roku bc thy show him at that part in the intro
I think they’re both right because yes Aang did vanish but people forget that the last image people had of the Avatar was Roku
Best “exposition dump” ever.
Consider though that when he says master he means master. It takes years. There’s a difference between mastering the Art of using the elements vs just learning to use them. Just because you can punch and kick doesn’t make you a black belt. Something avatar Korra struggled with.
My guy you saw the time skip of Years of training she did with her teachers. She was training from age 4 to 17 when the series started.
@@Starcox1 I think they're talking about Korra's initial airbending skills. Until the beginning of season 3 she uses Air bending pretty much straight forward and agressive, which is counter intuitive to airbending's circular movements and avoidance
@Scorpio Bradley and the fact that she was sought out early risked her life. Cause the red lotus hunted het down.
Well Korra is a terrible marry sue where everything is handed to her so its not like it takes her that long to learn any of the elements.
@@GreggRulzok Actually you are wrong. Korra is not a mary sue, nothing was handed to her. Korra struggled with suicided thoughts, PTSD, and depression. Also, Korra struggled with air bending and spirituality. Please watch LOK and educate yourself;)
Sozin had to wait 12 years for Sozin's Comet to appear. So the Avatar that vanished would be Aang.
This episode really puts in perspective how impossible Aangs task is. It took Roku who started at 16, 12 years during a time of peace to master the elements, Aang is only 12 and has less than a year to master the elements while constantly being on the run, and he actually has to fight the most dangerous person in the world when the time is up. He also has to train multiple elements at a time, regularly he would fully master one element before moving forward to the next but my mans out here training water and earth.
3:45 This is one of my favorite parrellels in this show. At the beginning and end of their friendship, Roku was defeated by nature, Sozin was there to help him and nearly saved him, but still let him fall in the end
Knowing Korra's friendship with Toph, Toph asking if Aang really thinks that friendships could transcend lifetimes hits harder now.
Idk if the creator meant to do this but when toph asked "do you really think friendships last a lifetime?". It makes the scene from the legend of korra even more emotional when toph says "been a while twinkle toes" to korrea after meeting her in the cave after all those years. It really shows that what toph asked was true.
Never clicked so fast in my damn life🤣
Faaaacts
There are two higher levels of fire medley one is lightning and the other is explosion
Well, there's one more I think.
juliano kong-a-san What are you referring to? Pretty sure it’s just those two unless I’m forgetting one.
Gabriel Molina they might be referring to lava bending, but I feel that’s more earth but I could be wrong
llorddude You are right lavabending is an earth sub skill
@@Cheeszze yes lava bending is a subdivision of earthbending since lava is just molten rock
A little detail
When Uncle Iroh was telling Zuko about his grandfather.
When Iroh was saying Sozin was his great grandfather the scar is shown, when Roku was mentioned the unscarred side of his face was shown
"you shitty kids are gonna pay for what you did to my beach house" edit took me out 😂
The one that vanished is Aang because he disappeared BEFORE Sozins Comet which was used to wipe out the air nation. This means that when the news of the Air Nation being annihilated they assumed the Avatar went missing because Sozin never claimed to have killed the Avatar. This is why in the first episode Katara notices Aang is air nation and asks if he knew the Avatar. Everyone already knew that Roku died in the Volcano incident.
Here's the thing: Sozin thought his attack on the Air Nomads succeeded, which is why he was even raiding the water tribe in the first place (taking Sokka and Katara's mom, etc.) because he knew that the next avatar would be born to the water tribe after eliminating the air benders.
That line though: " Do you think friendships can transcend lifetimes?"
"I don't see why not."
"we should share this prosperity with the rest of the world" yeah we've never heard that one before
Imagine Bolin and Ghazan there.. The Volcano wouldn't stand a chance..
The timeline's pretty straightforward. Sozin saw an opportunity and let Roku die. Approximately at that moment Aang was born. Sozin spent the next 12 years planning his invasions and waiting for the comet. At some point after Aang turned 12 but before the comet he ran away. Then at some point later Sozin used the comet to wipe out the Air Nomads, and then spent the rest of his life looking for Aang who was frozen.
I clicked fast fast, them post notifications coming in clutch
Bruh the connections are so deep
Aang was already 12 when the comet passed and the fire lord attacked, the fire lord attacked after the aang fled the air temple.
Yep at 12 he was already fully aware of his role as Avatar while they usually only know at 16; in the end he was indeed too young and immature for such responsibility, really makes you understand why the previous Avatars all had pretty strict rules about their training.
Toph at the end of the episode asking if friendships can last more than one lifetime is amazing with the knowledge that she becomes friends with Korra.
15:07 this show is not only incredibly written, but they also make great use of visuals. Despite Uncle Iroh being the one in prison, the way the shot is framed with light coming in from Iroh's side and Zuko being in shadows you would think he was the one imprisoned, metaphorically representing his inner struggle regarding who he is.
I think when they reference the Avatar in the opening, it's as a title rather than a specific person. Since there is only 1 Avatar, regardless of if it is Aang or Roku, the Avatar is the Avatar. If they disappear as one person and reappear as another, it's still considered "the same" in a sense.
“do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?” 🥺
When Katara asks if the Spirit World has bathrooms, Sokka says it does not, which is something he found out in "Winter Solstice, Part 1: The Spirit World".
The mistakes Avatar Roku alluded to when he appeared to Aang in "The Awakening" are elaborated upon in this episode.
In the flashback where Roku waterbends his waterbending teacher through the Northern Water Tribe city, the large ice wall that surrounds the city had not yet been built.
As Zuko reads the final parts of Sozin's last will, a Fire Nation cruiser is shown passing over the iceberg Aang was encased in, which would be cracked open in "The Boy in the Iceberg".
“I am frozen, Sozin.” Lmao 😂
16:08 Toph says do you really think that friendships can last more than one lifetime. And in legend of Korra, when she sees korra, she says," Nice to you twinkle toes," which is aang's nickname. When I watched TLOK for the first time I balled my eyes out when she said that.
The way the show also set up Toph's appearance on the Legend of Korra with her question "Do you really think friendships can last for more than one lifetime?". It's just so beautiful
"Scar! Brother! Help me!"
Also love this episode because of Zuko's scene with Iroh, if you notice the whole time the shots are from an angle that makes it look like Zuko's the one in the cage instead of Iroh symbolizing how he he's the one trapped within his own internal struggle while Iroh is actually free. It's little details like this that make this series so legendary.
The Avatar that vanished was indeed Roku. They said that in the extended intro “when the world needed him most he vanished” while showing Roku literally disappearing
I find it funny that Iroh is represented as the red dragon and Azula as the blue one. Iroh who had no blood ties to Roku but resembled him and Azula who, like Zuko, has blood ties to both Sozin and the previous avatar but still takes on the characteristics of Sozin.
Zuko’s great-grandfather being Avatar Roku was legit the best twist in this show. I was so shook
Man, I loved that discussion at the end. An interesting debate that I’ve never even considered.
"Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?"
ooof hit me right in the feels.
2:38 Lupasan makes the perfect Pikachu shocked face LMFAO🤣🤣🤣
Fun Fact: the fact that Zuko’s great grandpa was Avatar Roku wasn’t a coincidence. In a sequel comic, it’s revealed that the Fire Lord Ozai specifically wanted to marry the descendant of the avatar because he believed that combining their two bloodlines would make their children even more powerful. He’s a trash guy and all but you have to admit, he wasn’t wrong
16:07 bruh I didn't even realize toph said that
“Nice to see you again, Twinkle Toes.”
pretty insane huh
My understanding of the avatar vanishing is that after Roku died, the world was waiting for the new Avatar (an Airbender) to be revealed. I believe that the only persons who knew Aang was the next Avatar were the Air Nomads. Aang wouldn’t have been informed he was the next Avatar until he was 16 (like Roku was on his 16th bday), but due to the advances that Sozin had made in his attempts to conquer the other elemental kingdoms, the Nomads began training Aang prematurely. Sozin knew that the Avatar would probably be revealed by 16 years after Roku died, SO he went ahead and just wiped out all the Air Nomads, which is why the fire nation went after the Southern Water Tribe’s Water-benders next bc a water-bender would be the next reincarnation after the Avatar of the Air Nation (e.g., We got Korra after Aang passed 50 years later).
14:15 “I am frozen. ...Sozin.” What a bar.
One of the best lore drops of any show hands down. Masterful episode.
Never clicked faster in my life
This is also why Azula is such a gifted firebender.
14:49 When Iroh was talking about his grandfather Sozin u could see how the ceiling was covering half of Zuco's face(the one with a scar),but when he was talking about avatar Roku,the ceiling revealed other half of his face,the cleaner one.This little part hints at duality of Zuco,because his scar represents his dark side.
It’s so wicked how Aang and Zuko are indirectly related. Or how they set things up like Zuko’s dream. And Iroh being able to see Fang in the spirit world. Also nothing against Roku, but living on a island with 2 volcanos. Come on.
Iro: Zuko only you can restore balance.
Zuko: What about Azula?
Iro: What ABOUT Azula?!
Anng was the New Avatar, but know one knew until days before he disappeared in the ice. The first episodes when he visits the air temple and loses control he talks about being told that he was recently found out to be the Avatar. It is this and the fact that he would have to leave the air temple to travel the world to train that made him decide to runaway. Where he ended up in the storm that lead to him being put into ice.
So much like Roku who did not know he was the Avatar til later in life, so too did no one know that Anng was the Avatar til he was 12. That being the case, The World was without an Avatar for over 12 years. In those 12 years, Fire Lord Sozin a massed and army and started to take over that land. The Comet was more then Likely used to beat the Water and Air nations, give that the comet did not last that long to power up the fire benders.
There is so much symbolism and relevance in Avatar. The whole series is based on one group thinking they are superior than other groups and this causes a chain of takeover tactics and injustice. Examples today are mass incarceration, redlining, gentrification, unequal jobs opportunities , ect
Roku is Zuko's maternal great-grandfather.
Roku was friends with Aang's caretaker, Gyats
16:07 “Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime??🤔😶
Nice to see you again, Twinkletoes.
Watching that moment again after Korra is really wholesome and sad.
That Toph quote hits hard.
Makes me tear up a little bit each time
I feel like the whole disappearance thing can be described as they indirectly inferred Aang. Because after Sozin betrayed Roku, he knew that the next avatar would automatically be an air nomad (because avatar cycle) and attacked the Air temples specifically for that reason. I guess it was the fact that none of the air benders they killed were the avatar that they assumed he "vanished".
Sozin used the comet after Aang disappeared. Remember he ran away and Gyatso was still alive. Then when he went to the temple with Sokka and Katara, he found out the air nation was there and Monk Gyatso’s cadaver was surrounded by fire nation soldiers, and Aang didn’t knew that because he was already frozen when the fire nation attacked his temple.
I can’t wait until you guys see legend of Korra 😂 but I wish I could forget this show so I can re-experience it😔
They already have
They reacted it on patreon but I have to wait because of my broke ass
@Retr0 Richy wait for 10 years without watching it
@@showoutjay835 Wait they watched Korra before Avatar? Or are they ahead on patron?
@@lincolnb2244 very, very ahead.
I'd have to say Sozin's comet came around 12 years after Roku died since Aang was born when he died. Sozin would also have to prepare for the invasion; Roku would not allow him to build an army to do such which means it took time possibly years until he strategized and was prepared to commence the assault on the air nation, mind you also all 4 air temples are on opposite parts of the world. How long would you think that might've taken adding in that fact?
Every time Iroh speaks, gives me chills
Fun theory: the fire nation used dragons to get to the air temples. Dragons were common when sozin was alive, even Aang says dragons were everywhere when he was a kid (meaning before he knew he was the avatar). After destroying the air nomads, sozin invented the culture to hunt and kill dragons.
