This episode proves that Avatar The Last Airbender is in fact an Anime since they followed the rule of having at least 1 episode take place at a beach or bathhouse for fan service.
17:15 I don't think Azula hates her mom I think she has by now realized her father will never actually love her, and her desparation for being loved is why she brings Zuko back, their mom is gone but Zuko was the mother's favourite (in her eyes, really it was just that Zuko spent more time with Ursa because Ozai favored Azula), so she is obsesed with Zuko as an extension of her mother. Of course she has no idea how to actually build a productive sibling relationship with Zuko.
they never said she hates her mom they said she resented her, which is true. she resented her mum for loving zuko more than her which is also why she always picked on zuko. and azula never went and brought zuko back on her own accord it was the firelord that ordered her to do that at the end of season 1
I think she actually cares for zuko a little. But she doesn't really know how to care. Remember that part of the last episode where she warned zuko against visiting Iroh? She could have turned him in. She could have said nothing. She could have done a whole bunch of things that she didn't actually do. That shows me she cares a tiny bit. Because really she had no reason to warn him otherwise.
@@DevlinBlake Also, the little smile when Zuko was talking about how everything should be perfect now that he got all he ever wanted, I don't think that was the usual scheming, arrogant smile she usually has, but a legit caring one for Zuko, likewise, she seemed she was indeed about to cry when she started talking about how her mom viewed her as a monster, then snapped out of it as a defense method with the funny line like "yeah this happened, but I don't care (she cares)"
I think combustion bending might be my favorite sub-form of bending. I would highly recommend reading the Yangchen books which explain more about it. - spoilers for the yangchen books - I love combustion bending because it seems so unique to the other sub-forms, like theoretically any firebender could train to become one but because it's the most powerful form of bending, and the most unstable, most don't survive the training, which is why it's so rare. Also I liked the detail that because it takes so much energy to create the explosions, the bender has to consume massive amounts of food to generate it. Combustion Man is obviously more advanced than the original combustion benders in The Dawn of Yangchen, where Thapa had to take like 30 breaths to build up to one explosion, while Combustion Man only takes one, and P'lee can even curve her shots, but I suppose bendings of all types can advance a lot in a couple hundred years. The books are also my favorite avatar content because F. C. Yee isn't afraid to go to some really dark places with things, and give you the full reality of what it's actually like.
Notice how Mai explains her parents. Ok, now who else are rich, not loving, controlling, etc.? Tophs Parents. So Mai is basically Toph if she hadn't taken control of her life. I also really like her contrasting temperament to Zuko (she's had a crush on him since they were kids, if you recall that flashback from Zuko Alone) and how she's the opposite of what you'd expect someone from the hot-blooded Fire Nation to be. She's also very cold and sarcastic, which I find hilarious. And she doesn't sugarcoat her words and is very honest which is something i love. She's a very underrated character and is very overhated in the fandom. Zuko's the right vs wrong choice here might seem easy to us as viewers. But Zuko was raised from birth, in a time of war, to be loyal to his country and the Fire Lord (remember that oath those schoolchildren had to recite in Episode 2). But his country is hurting others, which his mother taught him is wrong. The conflict within him here is very nuanced and I love it. He's at war within himself. Azulas flirting is hilarious and sad at the same time. Like she's been forged to be a weapon and just can't socialize like normal people do. The thing that gets me about Azulas "My own mother thought I was a monster" is that its not true. We don't get to see a lot of the mom and what we do get to see is that she's a mom that doesn't know what to do with her manipulative and smart daughter. Especially when it's her husband is the one who encourages all of Azulas worst traits. But Azula being the perfectionist that she is, sees any form of correction as an existential threat. So when her mom corrects her (as good parents do), she just doesn't have the emotional maturity to see that as love. 12:04 i mean meesh, they dont explain it in the show so its not really a spoiler if u tell her its a subset of firebending 😅😅. Like Dee's little "u wont tell me" sounded so disappointing 🥺🥺. Next ep is one of my Favorites. Cant wait to see ur reaction to it 😁😌. Great reaction. Hope u have a wonderful day 💕💕.
I love Mai! She's definitely an underrated character, but I love how relatable and 'ride-or-die' she is. 😩 I agree with you about Zuko and Azula. Both their characters are very nuanced, and that's what makes these characters great, even if we know they're making the wrong decisions. You are absolutely right, but sometimes it's hard to remember what I can spoil, so I just choose not to say anything. 😂 Have a wonderful day Mohammad! -M❤️
Ursa might not said it, but she did abandon her. All things considered Azula is a lot more pitiful than Zuko. Comparing one of the strongest benders with a non bender is unfair too.
HEAVY ON THE MAI PART! People dont understand her character + or just brush it off cause they “dont like gloomy girls” and it just irritates me cause they dont know her character 😣
Actually Azula have Mother and Father Issues in the comics Azula say that she was a monster because her father never gave her any choice because Ozai wanted to make her a War machine because she was a firebending prodigy
@mollyduroy6265 Which makes sense due to his twisted perception. Ozai stated that she had even more talent and potential than even himself. Which is amazing considering he was stated to be the best firebender in the entire verse, period. Sadly, that is what lead to a huge part of her mental instability and inability to make proper connections with anyone else. She was raised through fear, and taught that fear was both a weapon and how to control others while never truly being able to experience true love and acceptance. Which is what lead her to falling short as a person and not being able to reach her full potential as a fire bender. This is also shown in full in her fight with Zuko at the end. She was never able to accept herself or even acknowledge her issues. As we know, the power of one's bending comes from their innate talent and their ability to connect with and control your emotions. This can be manifested in many ways and depends on the person. Azula was lost the entire time and remained as such.
@@2koldwilson Yes its really sad to see many people think Azula is a psycho while she is just a 14 year old child who wanted the love of her parents even Iroh, Zuko, Ty Lee and May she even had a dream of them in the comics unfortunately by leaving her in the clutches of Ozai she was transformed into a merciless monster only to have the attention of Ozai who was the only one not to have "abandoned" Azula
@@equinoxXIII Unfortunately everyone pushed her to the limit and she completely freaked out that she was out of control when she realized that in reality no one was there for her
This episode is unironically one of my favourites, it really shows everyone in team Azula's problems, and particularly Azula, something that goes missing is, alright first apology to Ty Lee when she says she's a tease might look like just her wanting Ty Lee to give her advice, but I think she really did feel bad for Ty Lee, cause, later on the Episode, already at the campfire, when Zuko calls Ty Lee circus freak at 18:50 and Azula laughs, Ty Lee is genuinely hurt by that, so once she starts talking Azula looks at her and her face isn't mocking or evil at all, she really seems to feel bad for her, immediatly as Ty Lee looks back at her, she looks away and pretends she doesn't care, then once Ty Lee looks at Zuko again, you can see Azula looking at Ty Lee with her left eye, so I think she really does carea bout her, but she is afraid of showing what she considerse weakness so she puts up a defensive wall around her every time she interacts with someone, she is also the one trying to talk to Mai about her own issues, diving straight pretty accurately to the root of Mai's personality Later on, while Zuko is doing his monologue about how perfect his life should be now that he achieved what he wanted, she can be seen smiling on the background, now, I don't think that looks even remotely like her usual scheming, arrogant smile, but instead, I think this one is genuinely feeling it for her brother, hell, she was the one that made Zuko a hero by telling Ozai HE killled the avatar, on the first place, which is what made Zuko a hero in Ozai's eyes, and as much as she says that would make Zuko be the one to blame if Aang was still alive, remember, she said it like she was there and confirmed it, if the Avatar was still alive, she'd take the blame along Zuko for not making sure he was dead, at best she would be WORSE than Zuko because Zuko had a shot and she didn't (from Ozai's PoV), so I think she really was trying to bring him back home when she did that. Plus if she wanted to get rid of Zuko she'd have done so or pushed to do so the moment she caught Zuko visiting Iroh, instead she gave him a warning keeping it a secret to not only the rest of the Fire Nation, but also Ozai himself. She is also the one pressing Zuko to let out what he feels, giving him quite some needed relief, then she snaps back to "you're pathetic" once he has done that, once more showing she cares but is afraid to look weak in front of everyone or to her own resolve Think this is perfectly summed with her "she was right of course but it still hurt" line, as funny as this was, it shows Azula's memories (either correct or not) on her mother's perception of her really marked and hurt her, in her head "abandoning" her to take care of Zuko instead, she seems about to let that out when she said her own mother thought she was a monster, then when she felt emotional about it she had to rebuild that armor around her and play it off as a joke with the "she was right..." Additionally, while perhaps an oversight or avoided cause thought of as annoying, there is no Azula Chime / Azula Music in the entire campfire interaction As for why would she think feeling emotions is weakness... remember, Azula at this point is 14, and everything she knows and lived for is war, she is a literal child soldier, she is TERRIFIED of being or appearing vulnerable, and unlike Zuko, who got exiled and had his uncle to try to correct him, she has been directly under Ozai's command for all these years, being favoured by him for being a prodigy from birth, being told that emotions = weakness from her childhood and reaffirmed when Zuko got banished because of those very emotions, this is important because one of her lines towards the end of the series when she fears losing Ozai's favour is: "you can't treat me like Zuko"
In a way this is the most Important episode in series. -- spoilers ahead -- The 100 year war does not end, because Aang defeats Osai. Ozai is already the third firelord fighting this war. Taking him out of the picture alone does not change anything. What ends the War is, that the next firelord chooses a different path. And I think this episode we see Zuko at the crossroad.
Imagine Azula flirting with you then giving you a fiery speech about becoming a power couple and dominating the world together and not turn into puddy in her arms. Couldn't be me.
I had a feeling y'all would like this one. The characters really show out. Like I love how Mai really asserted herself when pushed, first to Zuko, confronting his temper, but second kind of in response to Azula yelling "leave me alone!" But it was kind of at the group, so she gets away with it.
I read somewhere, that one of the directors confirmed that in those flashbacks, particularly the one of uncle Iroh holding a baby and that young toddler watching them, is actually Zuko being lifted and his cousin Lou Ten watching. Kinda foreshadowing how Zuko would basically become Irohs Son.
12:10 in the yangchen books, combustion bending can only be done by firebenders yes, but it takes long and painful training that many recruits don’t survive to become a combustion bender
Fun fact alot of people ship Tylee and azula bc u can tell azula has a soft spot for Tylee and genuinely cares for her and we only ever see her kinda of act this to Zhukov sometimes and he is her brother so yea plus when azula says she was jealous they made it look like she was jealous of the guy for being with tylee alot their voice actors made an audio which said that azula told tylee that she must marry her and tylee says yes as she likes azula and finally when Mai betrayed azula a couple episodes forward she was ok like it wasn’t so bad it still hurt but not enough for her to be sad sad but when tylee did it she was sad and shocked like it was one of the main reasons for her breaking down
Hey Meesh and Dee. I hope you two day have been good. "Happy Wednesday." This was a great episode to see how Zuko, Azula, Mai and Ty Lee trying to be normal. Zuko and Mai part in the episode was hilarious especially how Zuko got jealous when he thought Mai was interested in that guy. I felt bad for Ty Lee once you get her backstory. I feel bad for Zuko because he has everything that he ever wanted. His father's approval, but in the end, he's still sad because it is not what he expected, which leaves him confused. I feel sad for him because he's a broken and damaged individual. Azula trying to flirt was hilarious but sad because you could see how her father affected her to the point that she can't have a normal conversation without thinking of battle as well her not recognizing the game earlier as something to have fun. Instead, she looked at it like it's a battle. But for the first time, you can see at the place where they made a fire that her mother loving Zuko more than her has affected her. Even tho she tried to play it off. Letting you see a glimpse into some of her flaws. But anyway I hope you two have a wonderful day. Stay safe, take care and stay amazing.
Happy Wednesday Rob! We loved learning about everyone’s backstory here! It really makes you feel and understand the characters 🥹 You can’t help but to love Azula in this episode. Thank you for watching again! Have a great day 🥰
@MeeshDeeReacts You're welcome, and you too. But yes, it's always nice to see that we get a character backstory to understand why they're the way they are. Azula is an interesting character. She's a great antagonist. But at the same time, some part of you feel bad for her because if she had a proper upbringing. She wouldn't have turned out the way she is. You can somewhat see her as a tragic character.
I like this ep because it shows Azula is just a true blue psychopath. There isn't a good reason for her to be that way some people are just born that way. I feel like shows kind of always need to justify why someone is fucked up. And she's still a complex character regardless of whether her being evil is caused by nothing or not.
I find it amazing that in today's generation of equity, age discrimination is completely accepted and practiced openly, especially considering the hosts of the channel. Human society still struggles to advance.
I check out that fanfic story and not gonna lie it's really engaging read I like how that fanfic have the mix between the actually show and the having its own story and I still can't get over with the story is so good and by the way is the one who did the fanfic a boy or a girl because I'm really good at genders sometimes
SPOILER As i often say, the rape child vs love child them Always hit hard. The fact the azula is the child of the forced marriage unlike zuko who is the product of a previous and genuin relation of the mom probably made her despise the daughter befor she was born pushing her to seek validation only from her father and school teachers for a perfect indoctrinmen Comics SPOILER The mom not even recognising her own daughter face is the final nail in the coffin. She really didnt love her (For context she sold her face to the face Stiller monster in exchange for her memories to escape after making a arengment with Ozai to spare Zuko's life. Then she remaried and had a 3rd child. When they found her she eventualy remembeted Zuko but not Azula showing that she didnt really love her + the new kid is a girl pushing the "replacement" feeling
It's kind of strange to think about. But, when Toph says Aang shouldn't expose himself I see it as a joke to the parents of kids watching the show. Toph "sees" everything kinda like a MRI machine in a hospital. So, does she have to concentrate to see them with clothing on? Vibrations of a body vs clothing probably means she sees the body more than clothing. I always thought her reference to expose was a way the writers were saying Toph sees everyone without clothing. Yes, I know these are teenagers and I'm not making it weird or sexual. But, I think that's what they were alluding to here. A quick search revealed that Toph probably does see everyone without clothing but just doesn't let them know. But, wouldn't her student Aang know? The assassin is able to compress his fire bending to a point and send it out. It therefore becomes a beam that explodes when it hits something due to rapid expansion from a pinpoint area of whatever was hit. So, all the damage you see from a normal fire blast is compressed into a very small area. It's kinda like how a knife works. All the force you exert with your hands and arm when cutting something with a knife is distributed along the very narrow blade, and cutting happens.
to me azula is the anti-matilda the book or movie by roald dahl if you have heard matilda very much a prodigy she loves to learn is a stratagiest and very mature for her age and comes from a dysfuctional family but unlike azula shes really nice very social and is liked by pretty much everyone i think ozai would take intrest but she would see through his bullshit
@@redfieldwong717 Because it's a stupid question desperately trying to be smart. They talk about Aang's tattoos all the time. Aang even refuses to go around if he can't "proudly wear [his] arrow" earlier in the season. Toph isn't an idiot. She knows that Aang took off most of his clothes to swim and thereby exposed his tattoos.
why azula and mai and ty lee and lots of women and all the women in the series of avatar the last airbender not taking their chances with lots of men and all the men in the series of avatar the last airbender

Fun fact alot of people ship Tylee and azula bc u can tell azula has a soft spot for Tylee and genuinely cares for her and we only ever see her kinda of act this to Zhukov sometimes and he is her brother so yea plus when azula says she was jealous they made it look like she was jealous of the guy for being with tylee alot their voice actors made an audio which said that azula told tylee that she must marry her and tylee says yes as she likes azula and finally when Mai betrayed azula a couple episodes forward she was ok like it wasn’t so bad it still hurt but not enough for her to be sad sad but when tylee did it she was sad and shocked like it was one of the main reasons for her breaking down
Hey Meesh and Dee. I hope you two day have been good. "Happy Wednesday." This was a great episode to see how Zuko, Azula, Mai and Ty Lee trying to be normal.
Zuko and Mai part in the episode was hilarious especially how Zuko got jealous when he thought Mai was interested in that guy. I felt bad for Ty Lee once you get her backstory. I feel bad for Zuko because he has everything that he ever wanted. His father's approval, but in the end, he's still sad because it is not what he expected, which leaves him confused. I feel sad for him because he's a broken and damaged individual.
Azula trying to flirt was hilarious but sad because you could see how her father affected her to the point that she can't have a normal conversation without thinking of battle as well her not recognizing the game earlier as something to have fun. Instead, she looked at it like it's a battle. But for the first time, you can see at the place where they made a fire that her mother loving Zuko more than her has affected her. Even tho she tried to play it off. Letting you see a glimpse into some of her flaws. But anyway I hope you two have a wonderful day. Stay safe, take care and stay amazing.
Happy Wednesday Rob!
We loved learning about everyone’s backstory here! It really makes you feel and understand the characters 🥹
You can’t help but to love Azula in this episode.
Thank you for watching again! Have a great day 🥰
@MeeshDeeReacts You're welcome, and you too. But yes, it's always nice to see that we get a character backstory to understand why they're the way they are. Azula is an interesting character. She's a great antagonist. But at the same time, some part of you feel bad for her because if she had a proper upbringing. She wouldn't have turned out the way she is. You can somewhat see her as a tragic character.
I like this ep because it shows Azula is just a true blue psychopath. There isn't a good reason for her to be that way some people are just born that way. I feel like shows kind of always need to justify why someone is fucked up. And she's still a complex character regardless of whether her being evil is caused by nothing or not.
campfire scene is one of the deepest in the whole show
I find it amazing that in today's generation of equity, age discrimination is completely accepted and practiced openly, especially considering the hosts of the channel. Human society still struggles to advance.
I just realized that if someone loved azula she might stop being so evil
I check out that fanfic story and not gonna lie it's really engaging read I like how that fanfic have the mix between the actually show and the having its own story and I still can't get over with the story is so good and by the way is the one who did the fanfic a boy or a girl because I'm really good at genders sometimes
Dammit I meant I'm not good at genders sometimes (I forgot to put not in the last comment)
Also Dee “Damn they get forced vacations” flashes back to 9-5 job 😢
lol I’m currently still like this in my 9-5 job 🥲🙃
-D
My own mother thought I was a monster🥺 That’s the most important speech from Azula! ❤ Such a great reaction!
And she was right.
The teenage girls and boys got their wish this episode
SPOILER
As i often say, the rape child vs love child them Always hit hard. The fact the azula is the child of the forced marriage unlike zuko who is the product of a previous and genuin relation of the mom probably made her despise the daughter befor she was born pushing her to seek validation only from her father and school teachers for a perfect indoctrinmen
Comics SPOILER
The mom not even recognising her own daughter face is the final nail in the coffin. She really didnt love her
(For context she sold her face to the face Stiller monster in exchange for her memories to escape after making a arengment with Ozai to spare Zuko's life. Then she remaried and had a 3rd child. When they found her she eventualy remembeted Zuko but not Azula showing that she didnt really love her + the new kid is a girl pushing the "replacement" feeling
Im pretty sure Zuko was still ozais son in the comics.
@@turtlesandmoreturtles he is, but they imply that Zuko (and maybe also azula) were conceived in a non-consensual way
I love this episode :)
ozai's angles
that whole teenage drama always gives me a headache, but it's still one of the bestest episodes 🩷
The next
Episode is one of the best
It's kind of strange to think about. But, when Toph says Aang shouldn't expose himself I see it as a joke to the parents of kids watching the show. Toph "sees" everything kinda like a MRI machine in a hospital. So, does she have to concentrate to see them with clothing on? Vibrations of a body vs clothing probably means she sees the body more than clothing. I always thought her reference to expose was a way the writers were saying Toph sees everyone without clothing. Yes, I know these are teenagers and I'm not making it weird or sexual. But, I think that's what they were alluding to here. A quick search revealed that Toph probably does see everyone without clothing but just doesn't let them know. But, wouldn't her student Aang know?
The assassin is able to compress his fire bending to a point and send it out. It therefore becomes a beam that explodes when it hits something due to rapid expansion from a pinpoint area of whatever was hit. So, all the damage you see from a normal fire blast is compressed into a very small area. It's kinda like how a knife works. All the force you exert with your hands and arm when cutting something with a knife is distributed along the very narrow blade, and cutting happens.
Azula was jealous because she wanted to flirt with Ty Lee, and nobody can tell me otherwise. :v
Its not that guys like to be funny, its just that girl laughing at unfunny jokes is pretty universal signal that the girl likes him.
to me azula is the anti-matilda the book or movie by roald dahl if you have heard matilda very much a prodigy she loves to learn is a stratagiest and very mature for her age and comes from a dysfuctional family but unlike azula shes really nice very social and is liked by pretty much everyone i think ozai would take intrest but she would see through his bullshit
How does Toph know that Aang has tattoos and that he is taking a risk by exposing them?
For real. No one’s giving me a solid answer on that
😂😂😂
@@redfieldwong717 Because it's a stupid question desperately trying to be smart. They talk about Aang's tattoos all the time. Aang even refuses to go around if he can't "proudly wear [his] arrow" earlier in the season. Toph isn't an idiot. She knows that Aang took off most of his clothes to swim and thereby exposed his tattoos.
why azula and mai and ty lee and lots of women and all the women in the series of avatar the last airbender not taking their chances with lots of men and all the men in the series of avatar the last airbender
why azula and mai and ty lee and lots of women and all the women in the series of avatar the last airbender not sharing with lots of men and all the men in the series of avatar the last airbender
Idc, but this episode is a "filler". Same as great divide, the runaway, and the one with the play. And I'll die alone on that hill. 🤷♂️
