- This is our Group Reaction & Review to AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER Book 3 Episode 6. With guidance from Avatar Roku and Fire Lord Sozin's final testament, Aang and Zuko both learn about the former's childhood friendship. Sozin suggested to Roku that the Fire Nation should control the destiny of the entire world to ensure universal prosperity. As Roku was the Avatar, he knew the importance of balance between all people and vehemently disagreed. When Sozin later conquered an Earth Kingdom colony, Roku swiftly defeated him in battle and threatened to kill him if he stepped out of line again.

The crazy thing is...Azula being a firebending prodigy makes so much sense because she has both a fire lord AND an avatar as ancestors.
Because Zuko was closer to his mom(and therefore, Roku), he was influenced by her compassion/humanity. Azula was closer to her dad (and therefore, Sozin) and inherited his ferocity and deadly nature.
Shows why Zuko is always going through it emotionally and Azula seems to show no remorse.
oop Azula queen of heels
Yeah and Zuko may have been a late bloomer but by this point he is an insane firebender aswell.
@@mathies3598 Just like Avatar Roku
Never even thought about this , makes a lot of sense. This show had LAYERS yo
Just bad parenting that made Azula crazy, though. Ursula and Iroh always favored Zuko and gave him all the love, while seeing Azula as a crazy monster. Only Ozai cared about Azula because of her talents, not as a daughter. Poor Azula. Someone must be there loving her and tell her what is the wrong thing.
Gyatso felt such a strong attachment to Aang because he is Roku. Some friendships transcend lifetimes.
“Do you really think friendships can last more than one lifetime?”
“Some friendships are so strong, they can transcend lifetimes”
That’s why Monk Gyatso took such a liking to Aang, cause that was his friend in some way.
No spoilers below please
Their spirit connected
I’m tiddly and reliving atla through reaction vids and your comment just made me drunk cry
There are no spoilers in ba sing se
*Nice to see you again, twinkle toes*
Zarak Khan shhh
Remember when I asked you to remember the moment from Season 2, Episode 18, where Zuko had a vision of how he became an avatar? So, in that episode he had two visions, where he is the lord of fire and where he is an avatar. Even then, we were hinted at the origin of Zuko. A truly ingenious cartoon
OMG, that subtle foreshadowing 😳😍
The reason Aang didn't need the summer solstice this time to communicate with Roku is because at the first time Aang didn't know how to Connect to his past Avatar(s) so he needed the solstice but now he obviously knew how to communicate (through meditation or when He feels that Roku wants to talk with him) with his past Avatar (s)
Aang actually never needed a solstice to talk to roku since both times roku went to him to tell him where and when he wanted aang to go . But Roku choose to meet aang twice at solstices either for dramatic effect or bc Roku needed the spiritual power of a solstice to show aang what he wanted to show him.
@@samuelpain4746 😂😂 dramatic effect
Roku came to him in a dream, but he DID use the Solstice. He talked to Roku on the Winter Solstice.....and in this episode he talked to Roku on the summer solstice. Roku TELLS HIM to go to his home island...on the day of the summer solstice.....and Aang says, "Ok, Roku." How much plainer does it need to be? We see Aang going to Roku's home island. We never see a day by day calendar of Avatar....and people just take it for granted that its the exact same 12-month, 30-day calendar our own planet has, but really all we know is that there are days, weeks, years and seasons within those years. That aside, it's an edit....the writers are counting on you to assume...with your brain...that you are going to use the dialogue they just threw at you in the previous scene and apply it...to the FOLLOWING SCENE. Therefore...Aang meditates on Roku's home island on the Summer Solstice. This is not to be confused with the day of the eclipse....completely different celestial event....but the boneheads in this video make that mistake...unsurprisingly. Solstices are sacred days....the show uses the mysticism and history of our own solstices to imply a greater connection to the Spirit World...in this fictional world. Seeing as it is a long, and storied conversation with Roku....it makes sense that he'd want Aang to be strongly connected to him....and on the Summer Solstice of all solstices...the season of fire.
No... it was the summer solstice in this episode. The day they needed to attack on is the eclipse.
@@no1guy825 Whoa, no need to call them boneheads, not everyone knows about celestial events. I agree with the rest though
Gabriele is right, there is a considerable age difference between Roku and Aang when being revealed as the avatar. The sages typically reveal the identity of the avatar when they turn 16 (might be different ages depending on the nation).
Aang was told when he was 12 because the monks new ahead of time that the fire nation was a threat and they couldn't wait.
Yeah. I’m pretty sure 16 is the age for all nations cause I believe in a past episode the air nomad leaders said they were supposed to tell Aang when he was 16 as well.
@@ajsksksks5223 Yeah 16 is the age they are normally told, but sometimes there are reasons they are told earlier or even later. Kyoshi for example was told later then 16 because they litearally thought someone else was the Avatar but then she showed signs causing some to believe it was her.
I honestly think they tell them at 16 because they are basically guaranteed to be out of their emotional teen years and are more tempered. True Aang was told early but since Nomads are traught to be calm from birth and the weight of the world on his shoulders he had enough going to keep him tempered
meanwhile korra knew while being 6 or smt
@@hakank3748 nah Korra basically figured out herself bc she could bend more than 1 element
At around 4:49, when Roku is gonna fall, Sozin stops him, and then let’s him fall anyway. Like when he came to his rescue, and still let him die.
Ooo wow, I never noticed that. Nice catch
+Maggg mae Oh my goodness. That's genius.
There's several theories why Roku didn't just leave the island. One is, that he wasn't sure if everyone evacuated yet and he didn't want to leave them behind. Another one is that all the lava might have caused a tsunami that would have hit the main island and capital.
It could’ve caused a tsunami, that’s why sozin felt the ruble from the mainland ! And it’s also why he went to help.
The ashes from the volcano will make a lot of problems to the world after that read about it in internet.That's why Sozin helped him also cuz the ashes will afect the fire nation too
another point is: it was his home. anyone with this powers would have tried to save it I guess
I think Roku was a little stubborn too, wanting to protect his home instead of evaluating because he thought he could save it and survive
The eruptions from the volcano itself can cause a tsunami (ie earthquakes), but lava itself can’t cause a tsunami
Wow I can’t believe how many times I’ve seen this show but just got the joke.
Katara: “You were trapped in the spirit realm for 24 hours. How are you feeling?”
Sokka: “Like I seriously need to use the bathroom.”
This was in Season 1 episode 7 after Aang freed Sokka from the spirit world.
Katara: “Do they have bathrooms in the spirit world?”
Sokka: “As a matter of fact they do not.”
He wasn’t talking shit, he actually knew.
Damnn, this is why I love Avatar. So many hidden gems
This episode has my favorite bit of symbolism. When Zuko is talking to Iroh, the camera slowly shifts and the prison bars are now in front of Zuko, because he’s the one who is truly imprisoned. Such powerful storytelling 😘🤌
And it's cool because when iroh was explaning how zukos father's grandfather is sozen it shows the side of his scar then and the camera pans to show the other side of his face when iroh reveals his mother's grandfather is Roku. So it's so cool how the creators thought of that
"So we killing people now"
Kyoshi: *wiping the blood off off her fans* "what do you mean now?"
This is too funny
One of the best episodes yet haha, but again Aang was missing for 100 years, so everyone who trained Roku is LONG dead
Yeah their timeline is a bit messed up haha. Roku was an old man when he died, and then there’s a hundred years after that, so those teachers would be like 200 years old loool
@@jonathanfoster4202 well i mean the timeline of the avatar world is also slightly off i feel like. It's been 112 years since Roku died, and him and Sozin were already old men, like 70, pretty much grandpa age. Yet Ozai and Ursa are FAR from being born at this point. 106 years later (Zuko alone flashback) they look to be in their 40's or even younger.
@@mathies3598 Maybe Roku and Sozin had their children late and then Their children had Ursa and Ozai late? IDK but roku is the grandfather of Ursa and Sozin is the grandfather of ozai so we also have to take into account of when firelord Azulon had iroh and Ozai and when Ursa's parents had her. But I cant really do the math rn😅
@@chanelbunnybelle considering the age difference between Iroh and Ozai it seems pretty plausible that they were children of old age parents, both of them, and probably their parents before that.
“Is that Sokka’s dad”
Yes Sokka’s dad is 150+ years old 😂
We tripping 😂
They they said thats paku but paku is younger then aang
The blue dragon sozin had and the red dragon roku had have a symbolic meaning as Zuko had that dream of Azula's voice (blue dragon, evil) and Iroh's voice (Red Dragon, good) inside of him which explains his inner conflict
Sozin hit him with that "I wont kill you but I dont gotta save you.
😢
As a kid this reveal was crazy and honestly it still is
Roku's Island, The Fire Sages Temple, Ember Island are all separate places.
Roku's Waterbending master is different from Paku Katara's Waterbending master.
Young Sozin stopping Roku from tripping over the tree root (nature) and letting him fall, parallels Old Sozin helping Roku with the volcano (nature) but then letting him die.
For some reason, the very last sentence you wrote was very poetic.
@@sproutedcoconut aw thank you lol I wasn't even trying, just jotting down the main points lol
LOL!! 🤣🤣 The looks on your faces about Zuko being related to Avatar Roku was Priceless!
So unexpected, as is most things in avatar 😳
I wonder how Azula is going to react if she was being told that she was related to the past Avatar.
Probably wouldn't care
She probably say “of course I’m direct descent of the avatar. Why wouldn’t I be?”
She's say "who?" And when they answer she says "no who asked?"
“You’re right of course, but it still hurt.”
@@OrdinaryCritic lmao
Sozin came to help Roku at first, because he was sure Roku would survive anyways (like you guys said he could have left at any moment). That's why Sozin wanted to make it easier for Roku and protect his friend as well as fire nation territory. Only at the moment when he saw that Roku wouldn't be able to survive on his own, the opportunity opened up for Sozin to follow his on goals. That is what he did. In conclusion, he cared for Roku, but he cared much more for his goals.
Yeah they state in the storm episode that the avatar is usually told on their 16th birthday, but aang was told sooner because they could sense something brewing
Sixteen seems to be the age of adulthood for most of the world. That’s the marrying age in Northern Water Tribe, and Zuko and Sokka are almost always referred to as men not as boys.
Azula said, "My mother thought I was a monster...she's right though but it still hurts."
“But it still hurts” 🤔
@@AkinReacts mhm. Azula has feelings apparently.
Finally. This is arguably my favourite episode of Avatar. The further parallels between Zuko and aang.
Ron Perlman, voices adult Sozin.
Pretty cool they have the same birthday. Its likely Roku was born to some other noble family and when he had the same birthday as the firelord's son they became friends.
They told Roku he was avatar when he was 16. Which is the standard age to tell them
This isn't a spoiler. It's said Roku took 11 years to master all elements. Then spent a year training to master the avatar state. 12 total. We don't know if his time was spent evenly mastering the other 3 but it's implied water gave him some trouble.
I like to think Sozin did go to the island with the intention to help for real, but at that last moment he saw the opportunity and took it.
Solstice doesn't mean the eclipse :) its just the longest day in the year, but both the summer and winter solstice (the shortest day of the year) have spiritual significance in the avatar universe.
Did you notice that Roku's dragon was Red and the Sozen's dragon was blue, just like that nightmare Zuko was having when he was sick and grappling with turning good.
Ikr I just realized that aswell. You honestly pick out new things from the show u didn't notice before. Atla is truly a great show👍
2 reasons why he had to stop the volcano:
To save his village as it is.
To prevent nearly global cool down happens after a big volcano eruption.
The Avatar is supposed to be told on their 16th birthday. Aang was told early because of the war. :)
This trio of reactors are CRAZY
Thank you 🙌🏾
Fun fact: Roku's earthbending master sud is the guy earthbending in the Intro and was originally meant to be Aang's earthbending teacher but obviously it ended Up being toph thankfully 😊
I heard the original plan was to have The Boulder be Aang's teacher until they changed it, but they already made the intro before that was finalized.. also The Boulder was original meant to be voiced by Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock
The bolder ??
So excited for you guys to watch the rest of the episodes, this season is just chef's kiss🤩
👌
When Zuko was having the fever dream in season 2 with the two dragons by him (azula the blue and iroh the red) now makes it even deeper (sozin had the blue/azula, roku red/iroh) a little fun foreshadow there
Roku's learned the other bending forms over 150 years prior to the events of the series, none of Roku's old masters would be alive to present day
Bumi’s 112, and Kyoshi died at over 200 years old. So I wouldn’t say they wouldn’t be alive, but no, they’re not any of Aang’s masters or people they’ve met
Some Earth Benders, especially masters have been known to live over a century, can't say the same for other Benders
Some things I'd like to point out:
First, Roku's earth bending master, Sud, is the earth bender seen in the intro.
Second, when Roku says that his avatar training was "bitter work," it was a call back to the season 2 episode "Bitter Work," in which Aang began his earth bending training, and Zuko restarted his training with Iroh, during which, which he learned of the aspects of the other elements.
Third, when Sozin began the 100 Year War, he didn't have inherently bad intentions. He began the war as his way of sharing the greatness and prosperity of the Fire Nation with the world, unlike his grandson, Ozai, who seeks world domination
i’d just like to point out that sozin was still in the wrong, no matter how you look at it. he didn’t feel the other nations were as advanced as they were when no one asked his opinion in the first place. he overreached in trying to share his unwanted knowledge and then attacked when his tyranny wasn’t accepted. yeah, let’s not forget that it was him who wiped out the air nomads. his original idea doesn’t justify his means.
He wiped out the air nation ? His intentions weren’t as great as you think. You could even tell how his demeanor was changing after Roku came back from his training he let all the “glory” get to his head.
His intention was never about sharing the advancements of the Fire Nation. It’s was about dominating under the guise of ‘sharing’ to justify it to everyone.
Remember y’all roku literally is aang, the avatar isn’t an inheritance it’s a reincarnation of the same person, hence why roku tells aang they’re visiting their “shared past”
It's an inheritance in a way, Roku is like a father/teacher figure to Aang. It was the same for Kyoshi and Roku and Yanchen and the Water Avatar. The only exception is Korra and Wan.
@@Drake00000010 it’s more an inheritance of problems, than anything else
@@Drake00000010 Korra and Wan aren't canon so lets not even include that pile of trash in this discussion
@@Drake00000010 barely though, you can call it that if you want but aang is literally roku and roku is aang, the whole reason airbenders know who the avatar is is because aang picked his past lives FAMILIAR toys meaning he himself played w them in a past life, when one avatar dies he is reincarnated into the next nation in the cycle
@@VibeCheckedOut That's not how it works though. Aang and Roku are completely different people. They are their own person. In ATLA, past Avatars can roam in the Spirit world and make contact with the living world without the latest Avatars. For example Avatar Kuruk takes down Koh the face stealer in ATLA, in a short interactive game.
I know LoK says No to all of this but LoK has a entirely different spirit world and retcons things here and there. One thing in common is that the previous Avatar can roam the Spirit world as Aang goes to Tenzin and frees him but LoK doesn't explain or doesn't do anything with this.
Fun Facts: Roku's earth bending teacher is actually the one in the intro
Also I was waiting for this
TYSM
It was also the OG design for Toph before they changed it!
Isn't the boulder ?
"What an OP combination" LOL yeah it is OP
One of my favorite individual episodes of the whole series. It’s a masterpiece of lore, storytelling, and drama. And that revelation at the end? *chef kiss*
No, that wasn't Paku. This is more than a hundred years ago, Paku isn't even 100 years old
it was more than 170 years ago since it was at the start of rokus life.
@@willwilliamson9580 Every time they say that it makes me laugh, the only people that are still alive from Aang's time is Bumi and Guru Pathik
Its funny you guys talked about Sokka vs Zuko. They both learned the art of sword fighting from the same master, confirmed by the creators of the show.
"He's not that dumb. ...Actually, he is."
In the scene where young Roku and Sozin were playing in the grass, Roku trips backwards over a tree root. Sozin stops his fall, but than let’s him fall over in the end. This is a direct foreshadowing of the end of the episode. Sozin came to Roku’s aid during the volcano eruption, but ending up letting him “fall” in the end.
It’s canon that Ozai sought out a wife from Roku’s bloodline
You can refer to the Azula,Mai,Ty Lee, (Zuko) group as 'Ozai's Angels'
Thanks for the reaction as always guys, u know I appreciate it! Goddamn I don’t think I’ve ever been this early to one of these vids. Glad I don’t have work today. This episode was always absolutely epic, the backstory is too dope. We’re approaching halfway, I’m hyped!
Sozin pulled a whole Scar on Roku (Mufasa) 😭
Roku was 16 when he found out he was the Avatar which is the usual age that they tell you at Aang was told early because of the war.
Azula said :" My own mother thinks I'm a monster...she was right of course, but it still hurts..."
That means, even if she agrees with what her mother thinks or says, she does care...
Again zuko has I think one of the most notable complicated family trees his tree is literally good and evil lol
Bro you thought the waterbending master was Sokka's dad 😂 That was 100 years before Sokka himself was born 😂 and Sokka's father's not a bender
We tripping 😂
I know y’all are going to university and I’m so happy for y’all but please binge this for us before you go😭😭😭😭
We will do as much as we can 😂
@@AkinReacts 🙏🏽😂🤎
Crazy thing is, this was foreshadowed way back in book 2
Remember that dream Zuko had when he was sick?
2 dragons, one Red and one Blue
One demanding that he stay on the throne and one telling him to leave
I mean it's just crazy that they had this planned even back then😅
When they show zuko he's behind that bars when he talks to iroh, while iroh isn't shown behind them. Symbolizing that zuko is trapped
Iroh had the crown because Iroh was crown prince of the fire nation. He's Ozai's older brother, but he didn't become the fire lord because he lost his ambition during the war.
He didn’t because Azulon died? and his dying ‘wish’ was that Ozai would succeed him and uncle Iroh was going through his loss
@@melissa5051 Azulon* not Sozin
@@chance757 thanks for the catch
Aang to Zuko: I should've just pulled out! lmao
I was waiting for Toph's "Do you really think friendships can transcend lifetimes?" and Aang's, "I don't see why not." Great reaction nevertheless! I'm so excited for the next two episodes. It's gonna be fire 🔥🔥
7:55 Guys, Roku's waterbending master can't be master Pakku.
18:05 He was the crown prince before Ozai stole the throne
One thing I love about this episode is that everyone always guess sozin is going to get jealous, and that's what causes the animosity... But that's not it.
It was duty. Roku didn't want to hurt sozin, but his duty as the avatar let him know he had to. And sozin didn't want to kill roku, but he felt he had to as the firelord.
the waterbending master is no one you know, there's a time difference of a 112 years between roku dying and this episode and roku is like in his 20s or something there
The training montage would’ve been several years though
Yay! This episode is one of my favorites! Excited for you guys to watch it.
part of the genius of this episode is the use of the angle from iron’s side. It make it look like Zuko is the one who’s imprisoned because even though he’s outside and iroh is in jail, iroh is still more free than zuko mentally
Soooo remember in the first episode of Book 3, and you guys were like, "Zuko and Aang....there's some kind of link between them, I don't know what it is, but there's something there"??? 👀👀👀 May I say y'all were SPOT on?? hahaha
Amazing reaction!!!!, I was so excited to see your reaction to this specific episode. Also I love your accent
I am happy the avatar is alive in Nigeria I am from Nigeria and I am happy there are people loving avatar currently so I am subscribing good job I am Igbo by the way.
The attack on the Fire Nation is planned to happen during a solar eclipse, not the summer solstice. Although both can occur at the same time, it’s not very common. In the show, the summer solstice and solar eclipse are on two separate days (obviously, after watching this episode lol).
So in this episode, it was the summer solstice, which just means that it’s the longest day of the year and it’s typically the start of summer… This also tells us that it’s officially summer, and remember, Sozin’s comet is coming at the END of summer. They’re timeline is getting scarily close to the comet 😬
Just a little fyi because you guys seemed confused about that :)
Lol we told yall this episode is special the reaction is GOLD!
The way Iroh slowly peeled off the bandage
3 x 8 (In Toph's Voice) "Here it comes!"
3:25 you're not wrong. his great grand father was murder.
Roku wasn't trained by Katara's master Pakku. Roku would've been around 20 when he completed his waterbending training. He lived to be around 80, and Aang is 112 years old. So it's been about 170 years since Roku did his training. Pakku isn't that old.
In an earlier episode. The monks tell aang that the avatar isn't usually told they are the avatar until they turn 16. It was on roku and sozin's 16th birthday when roku found out
One of my favorite episodes in the show, love your guys reaction on this
It took Roku 12 years to do what Aang is expected to do in just under 9 months, assuming best conditions. And even then, Roku started with the element of fire fully under his belt, whereas Aang was indeed a prodigy of airbending but still developed a lot throughout the show in his airbending skills, making it apparent that Aang at the beginning wasn't exactly a full master, despite the tattoo's.
One thing to note: Aang is technically 112 years old. Katara is like 14 or 15. If Aang had lived his regular life, being healthy, causing peace, stopping the war, and die of old age, it is very realistic to expect him to die at around the age of 98. Katara could easily have become the next Avatar, seeing as she is a water bending master at her age, and practically all of it over the course of three months, since the waterbending she did prior to her adventures with Aang was pretty much as basic as it gets.
Of course Aang's age is shortened drastically by the stress endured over this summer and also the lightning shot straight into his foot and back so there's that.
Notice that Iroh has helpers even among the fire nation, the people that have him locked up as a traitor. It shows what Aang tells us. Everyone, even the fire nation, has to be treated like they're worth being given a chance.
This show is great at teaching kids lessons all the time and does so without sounding preachy. Besides Katara the female characters in this show are phenomenally written (and even Katara isn't all bad either) to the point that their gender isn't a hindrance nor a point of attention beyond a footnote. Toph is blind and that one kid from the air temple, is in a wheelchair. This show tells everyone that disabilities are no obstacle for anything. Sokka's sexism/bigotry is quickly driven into the ground by Suki's boot, and he quickly learns how to be humble, which turns him into the most likable character of them all. Together with Zuko's character arc it shows that there is truly no shame in changing who you are, how you think, etc. (I'm speakin purely about Zuko's change in attitude, not his awful decision to betray his uncle and stay loyal to the fire nation or any of his choices since. The shift in attitude from "I MUST CAPTURE THE AVATAR" to "I'm angry because I feel like I don't know the difference between right and wrong anymore" is immense). Sokka also shows that being "regular" simply means you haven't identified your own strengths yet. Sokka, the strategy master, the map reader, comic relief, the schedule checker, master of the boomerang, proficient student of martial arts (as Suki's student), thinks he's "regular".
There is so much to say about that episode...
First, never underestimate volcanos. They are deadly weapons, especially in the fire nation that build his civilisation on it. Explosive one especially, with fast cloud of hot cinder. That's how Pompei was destroyed. Sozin came to help because he knew this catastrophy won't only affect Roku's island. If the smoke block the sky for month, you won't be able to grow plants.
Second, I love how they show that everyone is capable of bad and good. When you think about it, even Ozai was a child at one point, who inherited Sozin's mission to track the avatar. So you can have mercy with everyone, 'cause anyone can change and be better.
Third, Sozin's quest also explains what happen to Katara and Sokka tribe. They had to consider the possibility that the avatar had died with the other air bender. The next one in the cycle would have water. The North tribe could hold on with its huge city and walls. But not the south. That's why Katara is the only one of her tribe to have water bending.
Fourth, it's so sweet that Toph let herself being vulnerable, needing reassurance that friendship can last. They are her first friend, and she's still a child who was secluded for most of her life because of her blindness. And I love Sokka rational logic x)
Fifht, it also shows that even Avatar can make mistake. Someone like Kyoshi would have killed a bad man and take a pice of the land with her. Roku believed in Sozin and still feel guilty for it. Long live the Avatar...
It was funny bc I knew immediately what scene you were watching at the beginning before your intro solely from the “wHaT tHE heLl” lmao
Sokka's dad... boi this is like one hundred years ago 🤣🤣 and no it ain't Master Pakku either lol
Yep, the episode that made me in love with zuko again
The earthbender who teaches Roku is based on the original design of Toph, who was meant to be a buffed guy till last minute
Its crazy because sozin is iroh's grandfather.
I just found your channel and I am invested lol this is one of the greatest shows ever made. I’m so excited you guys are on this journey. Great reaction ❤️
The Summer Solistics is the beginning of Summer. Avatar Roku told Aang that he needs to defeat Ozai before Summers end when the comet ☄️ is coming
Aang isn’t the youngest Avatar. They were all Avatars from birth, Aang was just told earlier (at 12 instead of 16)…
The kids went to Ember Island. That’s where the Royal Family have a beach house. Roku’s island is covered in volcano ash.
Michael!! You’re very expressive this episode. You know the episode is great when the reserve one gets excited and expressive. Aang is basically Zuko’s grand pappy. Hence Zuko’s and Aangs dance throughout the show. The only thing Azula got from being a descent of Avatar Roku is her skills
I love your reactions so much 😂
🤝
The solstice is not the eclipse haha, the solstice is just the first day of Summer
"is that sokkas dad?"
Yeah im sure hakoda of the southern water tribe lived in the north 166 years ago.
The writers used very clever film techniques during the conversation between Iroh and Zuko. In every shot of Zuko, he is shown to be behind bars and in the dark, while Iroh is always shown to be in the light and free. Even though Iroh is the one in jail, Zuko is the one who is mentally trapped. Iroh explained the path to redemption.
Its sad to see how roku has been betrayed and died
11:18 as one wise old curse once said: "Know your place... fool."
Avatars supposed to find out on their 18 birthday, Aang was told early because of the war, Korra started bending 3 elements early so it was obvious
Interesting fact Roku earth Bending teacher is the earth bender in the intro
Roku's earthbending teacher was the earth bender in the intro
remember from season 1 episode the storm "normally we wouldn't have told you until you are 16 but storm clouds are gathering. I fear that war may be upon us". Meaning aang was only told early because of the upcoming war however all other avatars (including roku) were told at the age of 16 so you were off by 1 year.
Also the waterbending master that taught roku is NOT master paku lol this was about 140-160 years ago
The thumbnail Is Fire, just like the episode
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
My baseless fan theory is that something was going on the world that kept Roku occupied for the twenty five years.
To clear things up, the Identity of the Avatar is supposed to be revealed when the Avatar is 16 years of age. However, the Air Monks told Aang of his status when he was 12, due to the 100 year war. He was told early because he needed to train as much as he could in order to defeat the Fire Lord. This was revealed in Season 1 Episode 12: The Storm.
Smooth intro guys.
For some reason I always want to watch ATLA again with reactors these days 😂
Firelord Azulon specifically had Ozai marry an Avatar descendant because the Fire Sages told him that this can make any of their children have enhanced or special bending abilities. Presumably, that skipped Zuko and went to Azula. That’s a minor plot point from the comics, which I highly recommend after finishing the series.
Thank you for reacting to my favorite episode!!!!!!
Wow you guys do realize the storyline between the avatar and the fire lord was over 120 years ago there is no one in that storyline that is alive today
