    I don’t think I have ever seen any reactors care so much for Azula. Everyone is sad, but it’s more of a disappointment? And everyone only truly feels the significances of her actions in this episode after at least a few days of reflection.

      Looking at the Azula and Zuko comparison, they were raised in the same household. While Ozai may have been a monster, their mother was a good-natured woman.

    I saw this comment on reddit and i think it sums it up great. Just you and me, brother. The showdown that was always meant to be. Agni kai!
    “I'm sorry it has to end this way, brother.
    No, you're not.”
    This isn't the Chosen One against the Evil Overlord.
    This is a bitter fight between two siblings, forced into this by circumstance. Azula is sadistic, more than willing to kill, relishing power. Zuko has struggled with where he will stand and tormented by his conscience his entire life and although he abhors the idea of killing his sister, he knows there is no other way.
    This isn't just a better fight than Aang vs. Ozai. This is arguably the best fight in the entire franchise, and a contender for the best one-on-one fight in all of Western Animation.
    Also, don't forget that Zuko's "breakdancing" is inspired by the style taught by the dragons, which sees fire as the force that brings life. So Life is dueling Death.

    I just know whoever composed the Final Agni Kai score is seeing the highest level of Heaven. God, it’s genius. The somber, muted symphony as Azula and Zuko fight each other, reflecting the sad reality that these are siblings who have been pitted against each other by an abusive father. And then the sudden spike and thrill of the loud, sharp tremolos while Azula conducts her lightening, creating suspense and giving the audience a hint into Azula’s plan. The way everything just halts when she shoots it and the only thing we hear is the cackling of electricity before the violins come in as Zuko realizes what’s happening and runs to save Katara, highlighting how his character growth and his love for Katara are reflections of each other. The way the note vibratos as the frame moves in on Katara’s horrified face, understanding the weight of what Zuko has just done, and his sacrifice is emphasized by the slow motion through the scene but especially in this moment. The crash of the music as Zuko hits the ground, in real time, not slow motion anymore, as Katara screams his name, giving the viewers an idea of how she must be feeling in this moment.
    Everything is so in sync in this scene. The animation, the music, the way the scene was framed and filmed. It really shows how far all three of them have come in terms of character development and relationship development (especially Zuko and Katara). It’s just *chef’s kiss*.

    I wish more people would understand that her life is just as tragic as Zuko's. Zuko believed he had to earn Ozai's love but, Azula never believed it to be conditional. She was turned into an instrument of war throughout her entire childhood, and was assumed to be "beyond saving" by everyone who could've helped her.
    She was completely tossed aside by her father after he could no longer use her, and the man disguised his rejection as a reward.
    In the end, she's scared, and sick, and completely alone. And, she's only 14. If that isn't heartbreaking, I don't know what is.

When I first saw Avatar I wasn't mature enough to realize the tragedy of her character but later I became aware and connected all the dots and hints. It is so amazing how you saw through the surface in your first watch and recognized that while she might have been the villain that everyone is supposed to despise, in the end, she really was the true victim of fire lord Ozai's cold heart and psychopathic nature and she ultimately paid the biggest price out of the main characters.
