Man, you guys didn't show one of my all-time favorite quotes. "Pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. True humility is the only antidote to shame." -Iroh
Wait they seriously didn’t show it?! Come on!
Végéta Need to learn this lesson
Iroh is a legend
@@painvillegaming4119 actually, Vegeta is less prideful on Super than in Z, people say that he's weak for that on Super but he's the character with better development
@@ivanelugo I know
I love Iroh's lesson above how the elements are all connected and how cutting themselves off from the experience of the other Nations due to a misplaced feeling of superiority is hurting the Fire Nation too.
Absolutely nothing goes Zuko’s way. My dude is literally trying to get struck by lightning on purpose and failing.
@@valentinkambushev4968man is KAIDO now 😂
@@painvillegaming4119Kaido and Emo Zuko, both at a "Who dies first" contest, who wins?
@@zannchristo I am unsure if lava even done KAIDO in
@@valentinkambushev4968 Well now I need a dark comedy fic like that xD
that's literally my life, nothing happens when I need it to. Like when I see an item all the time, everyday but i dont need it, and then the second i need it, it magically disappears and then when i dont need it anymore, it will be right in front of my face😭
Iroh is S-Tier not just in Avatar but in general "mentor" roles
It's sad that zuko truly believes there is some sort of power that does want him to suffer, by shouting at whoever he thinks is listening at the end
it kinda felt like he's yelling at his dad
It's not even fair to ask the question "Who's your favorite character", nobody stands a chance next to Iroh. He's such a special character in many ways.
Or Zuko, but I think that's because how close they are.
Iroh and Azula at the top
Come on guys, Appa is literally MVP.
Only Toph and Azula can really challenge that spot, but Iroh is still most people’s favorite.
@@fredrice8650nah, Iroh and Momo
It says a lot about Iroh if he isn’t willing to tell Zuko that his tea is… “unfavorable” but will say without hesitation “No, she is crazy and she needs to go down.”
Iroh has so much discipline and patience that he's the perfect teacher for the Avatar if Iroh was the Avatar who knows what sort of bending he'll unlock
Fun fact time! At 4:15 the original animatic/thumbnails for this scene had the hole for Toph’s rock suit over her mouth instead of her eyes (for breathing.) However, there was a miscommunication at some point in the animation, leaving the final product with a-rather useless-viewing slot for Toph
Animation errors like that aren’t particularly common in this show due to how much the creators focused on every detail, but some still slip by (as is inevitable)
It’s stuff like this that I kept forgetting her eyes didn’t actually work as a kid.
It's for intimidation lol
When people ask about "your favorite character in Avatar" almost always that's followed up with "not including Iroh bc thats obvious"
Iroh's explanation of how to generate lightning is brilliant; it's also the real-world, scientific way that lightning works (separate the negatively charged electrons and the positive cation, then make them recombine *violently*).
Iroh is the OG.
I think that's just a coincidence. Bending in this show isn't based on science, but instead it's based on eastern philosophy. The four elements are philosophical concepts .
@@timrosswood4259 you must be fun at parties. 🙄
I’ve been in this fandom since I was a little kid. I’ve met people who hate Aang, I’ve met people who hate Katara, I’ve met people who hate Zuko, etc. etc.
I have _never_ met a person who dislikes Iroh.
i have. theres a decent amount of people who hate him because of his past
@@MELTEDBUHTTER I don't understand. What do they hate?
@@Gipwx that he was a general and seemed happy to be, he took over ba sing se and laughed about it, he was simply okay with what the firenation was doing. I love iroh and he obviously changed but those are the reasons ppl dislike him
@@MELTEDBUHTTER well, he later went on to reconquer ba sing se in the name of the earth kingdom. What is there to hate?
@@Gipwx I agree. Was just saying what those who don’t like iroh think
What you need to know is every AtLA fan is an Iroh stan.
There is no other way
Iroh is exempt from all rankings.
It's a universal love ❤️
So when iroh said “no, she’s crazy and she’s needs to go down”, i first thought for a second he meant kill her. But through out the series he’s very philosphical and actually can’t imagine him really killing anyone or advising someone to do so. I think he meant its hard to reason with her when she’s in this state. So take her down with out killing her and then reason with her.
I always imagined it somehow like that. Not "go down" as in "die", but as in "lose". Azula's natural talent and prowess have poisoned her mind, she needs to have things not go her way so she can start looking for some balance.
@@KingVasuki agreed
I'm sure he would prefer she not die - but he knows she has to be stopped. Iroh was a soldier and a general. IF the only way to stop Azula was death, he'd be very sad about that and mourn her, and I think he harbors no hate for her at all - but if somebody's on a murder spree stopping them from killing other people is more important than saving them, even if you feel love and compassion for them.
@@iesika7387 I don't think he would be sad he would be happy when azula would have died iroh sees azula as an 8bstacle for zukos throne and he abuses azula for zukos abuse from ozai lit wtf in the legacy of the fire nation we see iroh Was never Fond of azula he never liked her or loved her look in the beginning from season 2 where azula greets them he looks at her with defiance and hate
Well I mean he did fling her out of a ship and into the ocean which could've killed her if she drowned or got eaten by whatever is in the ocean so maybe he did mean kill or at least wasn't opposed to the idea?
No she's crazy and needs to go down one of the best lines and iroh is absolutely the best characters
Also lightning bending is awesome
About that final Zuko scene: he says "you've never held back before" and the lightning still doesn't come. It's a fear that I think everyone has, because the opposite of love isn't hate, it is indifference. And to think that all the hardship and suffering we go through isn't a test but just indifference from an uncaring world is a thought no one wants to come to grips with. We all want to think we're doing it for something, going somewhere, that hardships are just stop on the way there, but they are not. And learning that lesson is always painful.
During the little training session with Aang and Toph, Toph makes this kind of rock suit, but she leaves a space open for her eyes, which is a confirmed mistake the animators made because well,,, she doesnt need that
Even the animators forget, they are truly part of the Gaang
What about the nose?
Iroh remembers the simpler times when his son was alive.
"Oh, he's having nightmares."
Iroh as a character is in a league of his own imo. One of the greatest characters in fiction ever!
Iroh is definetly S tier and without doubt in top 3 of every ranking of ATLA. Loved your reaction as always
Iroh is absolutely S tier !
@@valentinkambushev4968triple S or Z class
Aang and Zuko were both training with their natural opposites in this episode. Aang with the literal bending, but also with the martial arts techniques and philosophies of Earth Bending. Though he does eventually get good at those techniques unnatural to him, it isn't until he faces his problems head on that he truly understands the value of Earth Bending philosophy, even though he expressed it via air bending. Understanding the other styles only strengthens a person in their own native fighting styles and bending, no different than for the Avatar, they will just never be quite as powerful.
Zuko on the other hand, while he gets the techniques down perfectly, he fails to appreciate and accept the philosophies Iroh explained to him during the 4 elements talk. Had he done so, he would not have tried to seek out lightning, and he would have been able to hold himself together instead of breaking down. Since you cannot pick and choose which parts of waterbending martial arts and philosophy to apply, one works because of the other and by extension so does the bending, if Zuko had gotten struck by a bolt he absolutely would have died.
Of course it doesn't help Zuko that firebending itself was watered down to what Jong Jong thought it was, created by rage and made for destruction, instead of what it really is, created by self expression and being an aspect of life itself. Even the connection between Firebending and dance was tightly seperated by the Fire Nation, we see that they banned dancing even though the Fire Nation had the moves 100 years ago. Whenever Zuko is on the backfoot and doesn't know what to do he starts breakdancing, becoming much more powerful than before and winning, he unconcsiously falls back on true self expression instead of the restrictive teachings he was slow to learn but his sis excelled at (made much more evident by Zuko Alone when he breakdanced after remembering his mother telling him not to forget who he is). We also see later that when Zuko and Aang learn an ancient and powerful firebending form from the primordial firebenders, the dragons, it's in the form of dance. The Fire Nation did both likely to better poison the minds of their subjects to keep them in line, violent and waging war. Kind of like the 2 minutes of hate from 1984.
Iroh 1000% is my top S tier. He’s such a wonderful character, if I ever met anyone who didn’t like Iroh I wouldnt be able to trust them cuz how do you hate that beautiful man who’s so kind hearted and gives such great wisdom? He’s the absolute best.
Korra:" What was Aang like when you taught him earthbending?"
Old Toph:"Aang got all whiny, and Sokka fell into a hole."
😂
Toph truly is the master of understatement
UH!!! SPOILERS ?!! 🤨
@@adelseifeddine1758 Not really. They don't know the context exactly.
@@HazbinCovenWitch but they know that toph is gonna show up in korra which is clearly supposed to be a surprise moment in the show, so yeah definetely a spoiler
@@AjZ530 I knew about it before I watched it. I didn't consider it much of a spoiler.
So one interesting take I heard is the reason azula can bend lightning is she's so delusional with her world view she genuinely doesn't see anything wrong with herself
I honestly think she does, though.
*Season 3 Spoiler:*
This is mainly because, in that beach campfire scene in Season 3, she admitted that she was a monster. Now, it's possible that realization came after she first bent lightning, whenever that was. So, that theory is still plausible, but I genuinely just believe her father taught her how to bend lightning.
@@meganlodonspoiler
she admitted she was a monster and then laughed it off. Same with how she's able to lie to toph truth and ethics don't have value to her until her world view was shaken to it's core
@@MrPsych77*Spoiler*
She knew what she was doing was evil and wrong. She wasn't delusional and ignorant of her own lack of empathy and morality. She knew. She just didn't care.
This is one of my top episodes. Love a good training montage, and Iroh is dropping a lot of good wisdom here.
People remember this show for zuko and iroh.
It would not have been the cultual icon that it is without them
Toph and Iroh are my only true S tier characters for this show. Zuko is super close though. And this episode does a really good job at explaining how each form of bending isnt just different elements. It's different ways of moving, different states of mind, different tactics, etc. This really ties in well with how each form of bending was choreographed based on different forms of martial arts as well.
"WHAT TURMOIL!?"
- spoken like a person with repressed turmoil
"WHAT TURMOIL!?"
Probably the turmoil you just expressed not even half a minute ago. lmao
Iroh is absolutely my favorite character on this show. I loved him from the start but he cemented himself as my favorite in the third episode.
"Uncle, did you really mean what you said back there?"
"Of course. I told you ginseng tea is my favorite!"
9:00 🎼Crawling in my skin...! these wounds I can not heal...🎵
I'll just say this : you can't ask an Avatar fan who their favorite character is without adding "other than Uncle Iroh" and expect a useful answer.
True😂😂
2:45 Iroh is not on the S-Tier... there's the Iroh-Tier and bellow that is the S-Tier
So this episode is about gaining different qualities instead have just one. You can’t only have confidence because it only breeds arrogance. You can’t only be cautious because it only breed fear. You need both. Both in this show and in life.
Air = freedom/out of the box thinking.
Earth = confidence/ defending what matters to you.
Water = patience/being flexible.
Fire = desire/ driving to wards something that’s important to you.
Life lessons in the show and in life.
This episode is one of my favorites because it highlights the way each be ding style interacts with each other in a physical sense. Each bending style is complimented by a martial arts style. Fire is aggressive and is complimented by an equally aggressive style of Karate with kicks and straight punches. Water bending is more gentle with flowing movements from Aikido. Earth is rigid and stable, with several stances and striking styles from different branches of kung fu. And air appears, from what we’ve seen with our boy, to be a mix of karate on offense and aikido on defense, with movements designed to be fast and precise yet agile and flowing. BUT. There are exceptions. Iroh and his lighting redirection comes from the waterbenders flowing style, but if you look at Tophs earthbending it isn’t as rigid or as aggressive as others we have seen, but is still a branch of kung fu. And I can say this next part because they’ve gotten there already, but it’s also seen in the Sun Warriors style of fire bending in comparison to the normal version. It is far more gentle and has less of the abrupt aggressive movements
"Bitter work" is one way to translate gongfu/kung fu. Outside of China that just refers to martial arts, but really it's any skill that requires a lot of discipline, practice, and patience.
If you guys needed any confirmation, when the Avatar Official TH-cam Channel does a poll and Iroh is one of the options, he ALWAYS wins. It's got to the point where they did a poll saying "Try not to vote Iroh this time" and he won anyways LOL
I know this is coming quite late, and I'm not sure y'all even read the comments any more, but the DVDs have interviews with Sifu Kisu, who was the reference and fight choreographer for the whole series. He gave each nation's bending a basis in a different martial art. I think some of the interviews are on TH-cam, but I don't know if they all are.
The idea of applying other bending techniques to other elements is such a cool concept, you'll see more of that in future episodes, in fact we already saw Jeong Jeong apply earthbending techniques to his firebending, using it defensively i.e. making a fire wall.
Iroh sloshed the tea out of the cup, out of the window over his shoulder, he didn't burn it lol
Love this one also I like how we see zuko cry and that he is only able to cry out of his right eye cause his other one was damaged that he can't cry out of it
Iroh is one of the highest S-Tier characters in all media.
Ruff: "Yo, where my Iroh stans at?"
The Chat: WE ARE LEGION
Avatar has a official TH-cam channel. They had a big problem with polls, because everytime they made a poll people used to vote only "Iroh" doesnt matter the question.
Whos the greatest Firebender of all Time? Iroh
Who made the best Forelord? Iroh
Who is the smartest character? Iroh
Whos the best strategist? Iroh
Who wore the Red dress with the silver stilettos the best? Iroh
Just made up questions, but you get the point.
10:03 my personal belief is that iroh is the closest thing to the avatar that someone could be. In a way the only thing he's missing is ACTUALLY bending other elements. But he's studied all of them enough that he'd be a master if he could bend them
By the end of the series Iroh is just a top 5 character in anything 🔥
Uncle Iroh is wise beyond his years
2:17 Another reason why I love Iroh! 😂
"the people that don't like iroh"
dude, such thing doesn't exist LOL
Same of Azula's girlfriends do💀
Anybody who says Iroh isn’t their favorite character just weren’t watching the same show as the rest of us. That man is 100% the best character in the entire series. 🙏
Also, the baseball story from Boom was funny cuz my little brother actually quit baseball over getting hit literally every time he was at bat lmao. The day that finally did it for him was when the biggest kid in little league, who was also the only kid in the league who could hit a home run at the time, caught him right in the knee. He didn’t even finish the on base, he got a pinch runner and quit on the spot. I felt bad at the time, but damn if it isn’t funny looking back on it lol.
Watch DC super pets it’s really good it’s a good movie. It’s about this dog who has the safe Superman with these other pets 😊
I don't think Iroh was being rigidly literal when he talked about learning from the Water-benders.
I doubt there is that much overlap between different Forms of Bending to begin with, but more importantly, I think what he meant was that he adapted water bending philosophy, their idea of push and pull, the flow of energy, which he adapted to lightning-bending.
Iron is the pinnacle of father figure
Iroh is the top liked character in the show, and it’s not close
Iroh is not only in my Top 5 for Avatar, but even when you add Legend of Korra characters, Iroh is in my top 5 favorite of ALL of the Avatar characters!
It's true about the bending mentalities. Earthbending is about standing your ground. Being firm, unmoveable, stubborn. Air is the free spirited feather on a breeze. Uplifting unless you incur it's wrath. Fire is from a place of emotion and self. I won't go too much into that, yet. And water is life, which is probably why they can heal. Yin and Yang. Push and Pull. Go with the flow, as Iroh would say. Water can be gentle, but it can also erode mountains. It can be warm and embracing or cold and deadly. It can find its way around or through most anything.
All 4 Bender kids are kind of the base mentality for their perspective abilities. Aang is the free spirit, Katarra is caring to a motherly degree, Zuko is the hot anger, and Toph is Toph.
Anyone without Iroh in their S tier or at LEAST A+ tier, who hurt you? Let Uncle Iroh heal you.
Im not sure whose my favorite character in avatar, for the most part i love all of them, good or evil. But yes Iroh holds a special place in my heart.
3:40 to explain to you boom toph pretty much has daredevil radar
i loved Iroh before this episode, but this one is what solidified him as my favorite character. his quotes , even as a kid, stuck with me. 🤭
There was a poll that was "Whats your favorite ATLA character"
Options were Iroh or Literally Anyone Else.
Iroh won with 70-80%
I love Iroh but I always thought the line about Azula being to far gone being a bit out of character. Like, Iroh himself was a general that always enjoyed destroying the earth kingdom because that what he grew up in. It took losing his son to see better so I find it hard to believe that he doesn’t ever really attempt to talk to Azula.
If it helps, I've always seen that line as Iroh believing Azula needs to hit rock bottom, like he did when he lost his son, but in a way that's unique to her
Iroh is one of the best characters is this entire show. I literally know no one who don't at least like him.
One of my favourite episodes here. Aang learns earthbending and Zuko learning to better.
And do you guys think the boys would like to watch The Dragon Prince? Or Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia? Both are pretty fun.
Iroh is everyone favorite uncle
oh you can easily screw up tea. Zuko probably steeped it way too long with way too hot water (water temp also affects flavor)
You can tell Zuko way oversteeped it because if he brewed jasmine, Iroh's favorite, that tea is generally a light green to pale gold, and the tea Iroh tossed out the window was _dark brown_
that tea was bitter AF, and probably kinda sour
Iroh is just one of best characters in the show next to Zuko. I just try to be the cool and wise uncle to my nephews and nieces in real life. But I can't because Iroh is just so great.
While it is always best to believe in oneself, getting encouragement from others can be a great blessing.
I may be wrong but I think Zuko can't cry out of his burned eye. I think Ozai damaged the tear ducts.
The universe realized that Zuko needed a break after shitting on him all his life. Image finally feeling ready to take whatever the universe throws at you and only then does it not screw you over.
Iroh isnt S tier, he's a class above all on his own.
Of course Iroh is great. Dragon of the West. Just be glad it wasnt a younger Iroh who went Avatar hunting.
I mean considering Iroh could have destroyed Zuko's father if his way of life wasn't a peaceful one, does make him the strongest fire bender besides the avatar, but leaving that aside, his character is so well thought and charismatic that honestly I would have loved a gaiden/spinoff with him as the mc.
If more people listened to Iroh, the world would be a better place. With more tea.
Don't forget the roasted duck😂😂😂
Yea iroh S tear for sure. One of the best characters by far pretty sure everyone has him up there.
A couple of subtle details about this episode at this point in time only the royal family can shoot lightning so that technique is only useful against two people and toph literally took aang's staff and nuts to tick him off which will never not be funny. Such a tongue and cheek way for the writers to sneak her calling him bitch that i never caught till i was older
I named my kid Iroh. Best fictional character ever.
I'd say most people's favorite characters are iroh, zuko, toph, and sokka in some order
Whoever doesn't like Iroh probably needs an Uncle Iroh in their life the most
I think with the rolling rock test, Topher knew one of 2 things would happen. Either aamg would wuss out like he did, or hed successfully stop it. He wouldn't do nothing so it would've worked if aamg did just "have the guts"
“Where are my Iroh stans”
Bold of you to assume that there’s anyone who doesn’t stan Iroh
My favorite character from the entire show is Uncle Iroh and Appa
Ep 7 of me asking for a Transformers Prime reaction after a series is finished on this channel.
little canon fun fact toph actually knew that soka was stuck the entire episode
Actually Iroh isnt the first a princess from the fire nation who could not firebend, I think around Sozen’s time studied with the air nomads and created the chi blocking style Ty Lee uses.
Iroh truly is the best
2:16 when even Iroh believe your a lost cause your are a lost cause
Most people who know about Iroh usually have him as an SS tier character in any media.
There are 2 kinds of people: people that have Iroh in their S-tier and liars!
Everyone loves Iroh, however, Toph will always hold the top spot for me. Excluding Appa who automatically get #1.
Iroh is literally everyones favorite character, I've never known someone to not like Iroh
Ah, here it is
Let's see how you handle the lightning scene
2:11 too hot or too long makes it so bitter
4:27 love this so much
13:40 lol he's trying to help pull him out
15:40 but turmoil
18:38 except blades
zuko was my first fictional crush, but iroh will always be the GOAT
there's never been a character as great as Iroh
Zuko, Iroh, and Toph are my favs
Toph does see tho. She can see because the vibrations let her understand the forms if things around her. She still can't see color or anything in the air
"Sonar like a bat".... Save that for later
Iroh is the best, he is absolutely S tier
💙🧡💜 Iroh Stans UNITE. 💪
If everyone had a iroh humanity would achieve world peace
Time for some training arcs, with more clearer Zuko/Aang parallels
While Aang struggles with his elemental opposite, Zuko struggles to learn lightning. We see through the latter's training though how Iroh's knowledge of other cultures has allowed him to enhance his own skills, as well as his own perspective. Zuko has a lot of angst still to get through, but he's on a path.
Aang meanwhile managed to stand his ground, thanks in part to Sokka being hilariously stuck in a hole, and like that he's got a basic understanding of 3 of the 4 elements
