Aang was an idealist and deeply believed in the sanctity of all life. He, like Batman, was not above absolutely *decimating* average goons. Those poor guys in the ladders. 😅
I love that Zuko bothers doing a little flourish the swords just for flair’s sake before rescuing Aang. You just know he did a little smile when he realised he’d need to avoid firebending and he finally had an excuse to flex his sword skills.
I love this scene, Aang sees that someone, _anyone_ is trying to rescue him and he just trusts him, “stay close to me”, “jump on my back” “hand me the next one” pure unfettered teamwork and Zuko blindly trusts him as well, bc he sort of doesn’t have a choice in this situation. It was so cool to see what became foreshadowing of the two of them working together and what they could accomplish if they did. Also, love the part where they almost get away, fire is going to be used and Aang flips Zuko around to protect him with air. I wonder if Zuko ever thinks about that. I also like that Aang thought all life was sacred, and he knew if he left Zuko there, he’d probably get in trouble or be killed.
It’s interesting to note that Zuko as the blue spirit does not use any bending just his swords and martial skills. He is almost better and more effective then when he uses his bending.
Imagine if the fire lord recognized that talent and put it to use! Zuko regularly assassinating Earth Nation and water tribe generals and powerful benders. He could have been a great asset to both the fire nation.
He’s pretty badass with those swords tbh. I think, and I could be wrong, that he decided not to bend with those swords because he didn’t want to give Zhao suspicions that the Blue Spirit was him
He never once used bending while taking the role of the Blue Spirit to keep the identity hidden. Not just with Zhao, he also mainly used this principle when Jet attacked him in Ba Sing Se while both Zuko and Iroh turned an old tea shop into a booming success.
I only first watched this show like 5 years ago and I distinctly remember this episode being what fully convinced me this show was amazing. Two words: character depth. (Also just incredible soundtrack and storytelling)
1:30 idk if its an actual observation or not but in this scene, where a normal person would scream even a litttle bit like aang, he isnt surprised. Furthermore, he is even preparing himself to land. Its pretty amazing to me idk
He probably thought Aang would run off once he figured out it was Zuko. That if nothing else he could grab Zuko and say he's a traitor to Ozai for freeing the Avatar.
What i love about this besides the usual amazing choreography and soundtrack is eventhough they fail, the firenation army here still looks compotent but were simply overpowered and outclassed
It is kinda funny tho that this is seemingly the only time the Fire Nation use spears which helps Aang get a lead on escaping. Not to mention the ladder things going up the wall. There is a level of genius tho with how well-crafted the scene is.
When Avatar came out I mentally wrote it off as "some lame fake anime," but one day while channel flipping, I caught this scene, and it _instantly_ reversed my opinion and sold me on the show.
This is one of my favorite episodes. The skill and teamwork Aang and Zuko showed was amazing, and I knew from this episode on, they were going to eventually pair up and be on the same side.
@@meviaally yea the showrunner said most of the budget went to the seige of the north fight. very happy with episode 6 too and seeing more of avatar kyoshi
Well, I remember that almost all videos on this channel were for kids, so nobody could comment but it seems like now this restriction is gone, so we can comment again Not sure tho
TL:DR If you haven't already, go watch the animated version first before live adaptation. I didn't know that there was so much drama, action, and stakes in the avatar animated series. I watched a couple episodes of the netflix version of avatar and I didn't quite like it, and people saying that the animated version is better. So I decided to watch the animated version with no expectations. First 15 episodes in and it suprises me. This scene alone got me all hype up. I knew avatar when I was a kid, but I never knew how amazing the show really is.
There. The only reason that can REEAALLY justify netflix's existence. More fans to share a cup of jasmine tea with over the og atla😊 And my friend, since this is your first time you are truly in for a ride. I envy your raw experience slate! Enjoy every second of it
@@ziachung4547the Netflix show imo is alot more fascinating, ather animated series has more flare but what catches menin the live action is that's reality with real people and they did a great job replicating the scenes and actors. Some stuff/fluff can't be transpose to live action animation has alot more freedom.
They sparred in the comics and Zuko completely fodderized him. Remember Sokka trained with Piandao for like two days. Zuko trained with the same guy for years.
I just watched the live action version of this scene and it made me want to come here and see this for the first time. I NEED to watch this whole series. Guys I’m 26 and I’ve never watched avatar 😭😂
This reminds me Ninjago Episode 10 - "The Green Ninja", when Kai rescued Lloyd from volcano. Also Zuko's alter-ego of Blue Spirit is similar to Nya's Samurai X
I would’ve loved to see a book 4 where Aang and his teachers did lessons with each of the white lotus members. Aang, Zuko and Jeong Jeong. Aang, Toph and Bumi.
Yall gotta stop hating it is diffrent and that’s not bad look at it as a different timeline. Yall be so dead set on exactness. Look at one piece they changed some things. I think one piece Netflix and this is on par.

Glad to see the comments are back up. I swear, Zuko turns into a whole different dude once he puts on that mask.
He is to hide his identity, he even doesn’t Fire Bend to sell it
zuko; no one cared who i was till i put on the mask
Ikr. Half of my YT experience is reading comments, and it's sad to see videos don't have them.
Yeah in the live-action Netflix version they hit to that they say he's a different person with the mask on and I'm like that's right he is
Even Iroh (who was the narrator) states the mask can be the true self; meaning Zuko is shown who he really is as the Blue Spirit.
They really should've recruited this blue spirit guy into Team Avatar, feel like he'd have gotten along great with Zuko
really? What makes you think that. I think those 2 would clash a lot
@@epicfan1598 ikr, they'd hate each other so much they wouldn't even be able to be in the same room
@@Hot.Cocoa_0
Or even in the same... ya know what I meab if you know the plot...
😅😅😅
That's tough buddy
There the same person..
The fact that Aang stayed back and let the gate close just to help this guy who he has no idea is Zuko, those two were meant to be partners
Facts
Aang was an idealist and deeply believed in the sanctity of all life. He, like Batman, was not above absolutely *decimating* average goons. Those poor guys in the ladders. 😅
I love that Zuko bothers doing a little flourish the swords just for flair’s sake before rescuing Aang.
You just know he did a little smile when he realised he’d need to avoid firebending and he finally had an excuse to flex his sword skills.
My guy was waiting to show off 😂
If I remember correctly, Zuko cant properly Firebend at young age like Azula, so he trained using swords instead.
I love this scene, Aang sees that someone, _anyone_ is trying to rescue him and he just trusts him, “stay close to me”, “jump on my back” “hand me the next one” pure unfettered teamwork and Zuko blindly trusts him as well, bc he sort of doesn’t have a choice in this situation.

Every action is logically written. Absolutely fantastic!
Especially the part where the yuyan archers just let Aang and Zuko escape.
As well as the guards not using their fire bending
@@stupidgey3949did you miss the part where Aang had to be captured alive? Also not everyone in the fire nation is a fire bender?
Logically written? Did you notice the guards defying gravity at 2:52?
@@Pat4ever. i believe it was them being propelled by the other guards holding the stilt so he can hold on
We was really being exposed to masterful cinema at the ripe age of 12. Amazing
You were 12? I guess I am just really young because I wasn’t even born when the first season came out
@@alwayseverythinggnice
I remember being about 8 when the first episode aired. Way to make me feel old lol@@alwayseverythingg
@@alwayseverythingg When you remember watching this show as a young kid suddenly feel very old.

He could have been a great asset to both the fire nation.
In the comics, zuko off handedly remarks that he was train by piando himself, the same guy that trained sokka in sokkas master
He’s pretty badass with those swords tbh. I think, and I could be wrong, that he decided not to bend with those swords because he didn’t want to give Zhao suspicions that the Blue Spirit was him
He never once used bending while taking the role of the Blue Spirit to keep the identity hidden.
Not just with Zhao, he also mainly used this principle when Jet attacked him in Ba Sing Se while both Zuko and Iroh turned an old tea shop into a booming success.
I love how in this scene, without many words, they blindly trust and count on each other.
They both understood the assignment
Me following the guy with 74 prestige in a co-op game
The restraint zuko had to not bend tho
Or even grunt, moan, or talk, or even make any noise.
He definitely enjoyed showing off
Aang’s bending in this scene is awesome.
He's so powerful
3:00 "ive never used it to take a life" okay aang😂😂
clearly, it was gravity that did them in
@@dylanparker2703100% non-lethal
Not him just the air 😂😂
well they fell from the same height near the exit and was totally fine
@@gabrielevergreen7699yeah fell and landed with an air bend. Meanwhile those fire guys were getting launched beyond terminal velocity
Love it. The moment i realized that Zuko going to change is the end of the episode when he slept turning away from the flag.
This was probably one of my favorite season one episodes. Love it!
They make an excellent duo effortlessly
I only first watched this show like 5 years ago and I distinctly remember this episode being what fully convinced me this show was amazing. Two words: character depth. (Also just incredible soundtrack and storytelling)
I like how Aang has his tongue slightly out in thought at 2:04 when he goes back to save Zuko
Bro’s still just a kid
Lol how did you even notice that it was so quick
@@Adam25826It's easier to spot it in the original non cropped version
1:30 idk if its an actual observation or not but in this scene, where a normal person would scream even a litttle bit like aang, he isnt surprised. Furthermore, he is even preparing himself to land. Its pretty amazing to me idk
This is the perfect example of air signs working well with fire signs. Pure chemistry.
like in astrology?
what was zhao expecting ? he just knocks out zuko, and aang would just stand there and wait ?
He probably thought Aang would run off once he figured out it was Zuko. That if nothing else he could grab Zuko and say he's a traitor to Ozai for freeing the Avatar.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl Thing is, at that moment Zhao didn't know it was Zuko.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl Zhao didn't know it was zuko though? He only realized when he saw the blue spirit sword in zuko's quarters
He thought maybe the Avatar can't get far and he has a lot of soldiers. It would be somewhat easy to capture him...
Reduce the number of foes maybe
That music during the action scenes 👌
We need to see more of Zuko's swordsmanship !
background score is mind blowing in this...not in netflix..
What i love about this besides the usual amazing choreography and soundtrack is eventhough they fail, the firenation army here still looks compotent but were simply overpowered and outclassed
It is kinda funny tho that this is seemingly the only time the Fire Nation use spears which helps Aang get a lead on escaping. Not to mention the ladder things going up the wall.

Literally the only scene that felt like a shot-for-shot in the Netflix version❤
no , no , no !.Netflix is much worse in every way
@@kingkem_113 I didnt like one piece , and I didnt like Avatar from Netflix.Avatar cartoon version will always be forever 10\10 Masterpiece
@@marekkos3513thank you. I dont get how people enjoy the awful netflix adaption…
No one asked bro
@casper975 remember the *other movie* that shall not be named?
Love this scene, the two work well together. I wish the show displayed more of Zuko’s sword skills.
When Avatar came out I mentally wrote it off as "some lame fake anime," but one day while channel flipping, I caught this scene, and it _instantly_ reversed my opinion and sold me on the show.
When i saw this episode i knew this would be one of the best shows of all time. I was not disappointed.
@@wrangchops for me the first scene when Aang fights with Zuko on the ship.I knew this show was for me.
atla is superior the all the animes I've ever watched ngl
Nickolodeon needs to sell the soundtrack already!
3:04 I Could Not Stop Laughing At This At This Part, Even When I Was A Child😂😂😂😂😂😂
That moment you realize you're screwed 😂
This is one of my favorite episodes. The skill and teamwork Aang and Zuko showed was amazing, and I knew from this episode on, they were going to eventually pair up and be on the same side.
That mask goes so hard
Seeing Zulu was the blue spirit was the biggest plot twist in the series.
I just saw this episode in the live action!!And this scene it's almost identical!!! 🤯🤯🔥🔥💯❤❤
ATLA is the Greatest series of all time.
I totally agree!
okay... this scene was well executed in the live action, gotta give the cast their credits
man, came to watch this after ep6 of the live adaptation and what can I say... this is still so much better.
I know ! .Even the Shamalan version was much better then Netflix version
@@marekkos3513what's the shamalan version?
@@waltercapa5265 CGI is much better , but the acting and story not that much ;]
Zuko's swordsmanship is lit 🔥🔥
Can't believed they pulled off this scene in the live action
and very well might i add😅
This seen is the best even in the live action. I was suprised. Wished they could have been done the same to all the other but no
@@meviaally yea the showrunner said most of the budget went to the seige of the north fight. very happy with episode 6 too and seeing more of avatar kyoshi
That was a precise shot 😳
Suprised how acurrately was this done in the show
I love how even before zuko joined the gaang, they have a history of saving each other on many occasions
How does this video, being 3 years old, only have 5 comments?
Well, I remember that almost all videos on this channel were for kids, so nobody could comment but it seems like now this restriction is gone, so we can comment again
Not sure tho
Weird
I was literally shook when i found out ZUKO was him
No you were not "literally" but ok
I am the blue spirit! Scourge of the fire nation here to save the avatar!
This show was amazing when it first aired
sorry, but its still awesome and better than the live action

Cool scene
Cool comment
Cool reply
Cool whatever, I love that could be a game. Who likes stealth games wow
this really did have some of the best combat choreography.
This made me wish we got a Sokka v Zuko sword dual. Especially after Sokkas training during Book 3
They sparred in the comics and Zuko completely fodderized him.
Remember Sokka trained with Piandao for like two days. Zuko trained with the same guy for years.
I just watched the live action version of this scene and it made me want to come here and see this for the first time. I NEED to watch this whole series. Guys I’m 26 and I’ve never watched avatar 😭😂
You're gonna love the OG version.
@@SMUS16475I know I will, I can’t wait to watch it
Just do it bro,me 26 too and this show it's my childhood memories. The netflix adapt is like a gift for me😂
You have no idea what you're in for😂😂 ENJOY!!!
enjoy man!! i envy experiencing it for the first time even though it was not long ago that i did too
This reminds me Ninjago Episode 10 - "The Green Ninja", when Kai rescued Lloyd from volcano.
Also Zuko's alter-ego of Blue Spirit is similar to Nya's Samurai X
This was such great foreshadowing for the two of them in the future turning out to be on the same team
You need to do a side by side of the live action cuz it's pretty spot on
omg i cannot believe i got to witness the cartoon first when i was a kid and now the series is on netflix i just watch this episode😂😂😂😂
It's spot on! Netflix really did this series justice
Who’s here after watching the Netflix series?

was better , or worse ?

Ini di episode berapa ya??

bruh
Oni mask
Live action messed up a lot of things but man did I enjoy their version of this scene
Still leagues better than the movie that shall not be named.
4:30
Cannot wait to see this in live action and the theme to kick in. The movie does not count.
Why Zuko reminds me of Prince of Persia 🤔
So Zuko doesn't want Zhao getting hand of the Avatar
Yeah, Zuko needed to capture Aang himself to be a hero of Fire Nation
