Hey AkinFamily,
THE FINALE IS HERE!! We are so excited to see this, it’s going to be crazy!
As said in the video we will do a Q & A at 10k subscribers so leave your questions in the comments 😁
Thanks for all the support 🙌🏾
My Q&A questions:
What do you think are the themes throughout the show consistently shown in the characters?
What is your favorite relationship for each of these: familial, romantic and platonic?
Who is your top 5 favorite human alive or dead characters?
What do you think would have happened to Aang and the others if Azula had killed Katara?
1 more to go... sad... will you continue with korra?
Question: which character would you think would’ve the best spin off show?
questions;
* What bending style fits your personality the most? Do the other brothers agree?
* Which animal hybrid would you eat (I’ll also accept the 2 headed fish from ‘The Painted Lady’ episode as an answer ☺️)
* What was the best part of the show?
* What was the most impressive sub bending in your opinion?
* How do you feel about Azula’s arc?
* Did Ozai live up to your expectations?
* Is Michael the youngest? Even if he’s not, I’m declaring him the youngest & my baby brother!
* What will the twins be studying at university?
Gabriele: "She is going to hurt herself"
Azula: *shoots at Katara instead*
Gabriele: "It was so obvious she was gonna do that" lol
🤣🤣🤣
Man's a walking contradiction lmfao.
Do y’all remember when Zuko had that identity crisis in Ba Sing Se? When he got sick from being a good person. I like to think that Azula’s crisis in this episode is a parallel to Zuko’s. They both built their identity around pleasing Ozai. Eventually Zuko began to realize that his father would never love him. But Azula was receiving constant validation from her father… until now. After losing her friends, allies and her father scolding her. I think she starts to have the same realization that Zuko had. But Zuko had Iroh to support him. Azula just has the memory of her mother reminding her that she’s a monster. She’s alone, so she snaps. Just a thought.
I mean... not entirely, but something close to that. I mean Zuko became physically ill, Azula had a mental breakdown in Azula's case it's because everyone she thought she could count on, betrayed her. In Zuko's case it was because his body was physically reacting to HIM making an unusual decision that didn't fall in line with his image of himself.
maybe too picky but I think zuko wasn’t sick from being good, but rather sick just from switching sides - first of all it flips upside down everything he ever knew about the world, and second of all he has to suddenly confront the extent of how badly he’s been acting according to the new standards, so I think he was more sick from confusion and guilt
Azula Alone.
@@thewhatness the episode I didn’t know I needed until now
All of this.... and she's only 14. She has so much on her shoulders at such a young age. It's just too much
"Into the Inferno" is probably the best atla episode title ever. ALSO FORGOT HOW COLD THE WHITE LOTUS WERE.
agreed
I wanna argue but honestly nothing beats it for me, just ties.
I like the fact the first episode is "The boy in the iceberg" and the last one is "Avatar Aang"
For those watching why Aang couldn't kill Ozai in that lightning shot. It's because you have to take this in the context of Aang being the LAST AIRBENDER. and he is the last bastion of his culture. A culture of non-violence.
Killing Ozai is letting go of that Airbender Culture of himself. An airbender culture that will be needed to be passed on... If he survived.
I love azula vs zuko fight...
The look on Ozai's face when Aang has the opportunity to redirect lighting and end the fight right there, has a subliminal meaning to it. On the surface, it just looks like he is worried, and bewildered that his attack is about to be sent back his way. But if you remember, Ozai most likely didn't know about Lightning redirection since Iroh invented (Discovered?) it. Up until Zuko shot it back at him right after the eclipse. The look on Ozai's face in this episode, is also him realizing that Zuko kept his promise to join the avatar and help to defeat him.
I think it’s more like he knew Aang probably could but didn’t expect an air nomad to do a killing move. Ozai was like wait this air bender is aiming to kill?
@@MrKingYuji
I kinda doubt Ozai would have the cultural wisdom to understand the Air Nomads. I mean, the fire nation history books believe the air nomads had a proper military so it’s easy to assume that unless you actually had the proper interesting in thoroughly studying other cultures like Iroh, you wouldn’t know a thing.
@@couragew6260 that wasn’t always the case. Sure the newer kids and a few civilians think air nomads had a military army but Ozai is old enough to know better, it was his own family that started the propaganda
Zuko's spinning legs move is something Aang has done with airbending heaps of times, and so it threw Azula off because Zuko did an airbending move against her when shes used to Zuko using firebending style
Not really, Azula is even more used to Aang's airbending and Zuko kinda used the same move already against Zhao.
The spinning move is Zuko’s own move. Zhao, Suki, Gow, and the Rough Rhinos were all defeated by his breakdancing kick.
PK Ozai: You’re weak!
Me: He’s 12!
Facts 😂
13*
He aged during one of the seasons
@@yasmineelboubsi6038
So he’s on the same age as Zuko before his face was burned… from Ozai’s perspective, I’d say that’s about even 😂
Remember the first time they showed Azula, she was practicing and she talked about her hair not being perfect and now she cut hair and its just a complete mess. Its such a nice detail
it was actually the lighting not being perfect
@@MrsDuck356 they said it was almost perfect, not bc of the lighting, but bc of her hair not sitting right, thats how I understand it
@@jamiefraserismyhusband1282 it is because of the lighting lol when they said 'one hair out of place' they didnt mean it literal, it's a saying of when something is almost perfect
"Not bad isnt enough!"
She was the definition of perfection.
@@MrsDuck356 okay mrs duck, interpret it the way u want
IM DYING WHEN YALL WERE FLAMING KATARA FOR JUST🧍🏻♀️ AHAHAHAH
It’s still crazy to think that Zuko is only a match for Azula at her worst when he was at his best. (The comics just proofs that point)
Azula is a prodigy, literally born for that specific reason. Remember that episode where, without firebending, she stalled the gAang and avoid most of their attacks ? She's at a whole other level.
@@bluebird8221 i agree with you completely. She is just a different breed honestly.
For the majority of the show, it was the other way around. Azula was always at her best, and Zuko was always at his worst. So it's nice to see it flipped at the end.
Tbh it wasn't much of a match anyways. Zuko didn't seem to have any trouble in the slightest.
@@pflges1117 To be fair, it was the part of his life were he was the most connected with himself and where is objectives were clear to him. There were no doubt, he was doing the good thing for sure, no regret, not wanting his dad approval, forgived by his uncle. He was at his best mentally AND Bending wise. So yeah, he was literally at his best, he made it look effortless.
Zuko actually managed to redirect Azula's lightning last minute before it could've killed him. Also the lightning looks a lot more violent which makes me assume the comet strengthened it.
Yep, he just redirected it in a bad way due to his position(that's why he's still so strongly affected by it).
These mans reaction when Aang didn’t redirect 🤣🤣🤣
I died!!!! 😂🤣❤️
Don’t see how anyone was surprised that he didn’t do it 💀
Can we appreciate that Momo was 100% ready to throw hands with Ozai
23:20 I love little details like this. Bc toph can't see the shrapnel coming Sokka protects her by laying on top of her. These details I can't...😭
Yo, I love the Gaang so much, man. 🫂
The teamwork between that trio in the finale is one of my favorite parts. All their skills and team chemistry get to shine if you're watching. And real talk: They are saving *countless* lives by taking out those airships.
Also, Toph would be useless against Ozai. He's mainly flying around on his fire, Toph would have no idea where he even is!
Fun fact: Ozai’s voice actor is Mark Hamill aka Luke Skywalker
And the greatest joker va of all time
Fr, his Joker VA is so good it make me go insane!!
I know him better for this and batman than that lol
Or the Trickster if you watch Flash
@@shellyappiah didn't know that
Katara hid herself for the whole time - until Azula panted, the fire stopped and Zuko yelled something. She just came running to see what happened and if the fight is over.
That was kinda lazy writing though.
I don't think she hid herself at all, nor was it lazy writing. They both went there to fight Azula, but Azula suggested an Agni Kai (1v1 duel) against Zuko, and so Katara stepped aside when Zuko agreed. By bending lightning at someone who wasn't her opponent, she broke the rules of the Agni Kai (I mean she's literally crazy so ofc she did), and Zuko probably didn't see it coming because Katara wasn't supposed to be involved
Azula’s hair…remember when she was first introduced doing fire bending forms and Lo and Li told her, “Almost perfect…one hair out of place.” They connected her physical perfection to her fire bending right off the bat, and now she’s crumbling and her physical appearance is crumbing along with her.
16:35 Azula giving herself quarantine bangs
🤣
even when azula was loosing her mind, she still was super strong & you still had to be on your toes at all times when fighting her & zuko understood that because of the many battles he had lost to her. In my opinion Azula is one the strongest enemies in the animated world period.
28:00 "Look at his face!" ... Yeah, Ozai was like, "First Zuko, now the Avatar. Does everyone but me know how to do that?!" ... Seriously, though, props to the animators, because that was totally a deer-in-the-headlights, oh-shit-I'm-gonna-die look on his face.
Also, fellas, 2 quick things. The voice actor for Ozai is Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars movies. Also, Michael, when Zuko reunited with Iroh, how hard was it for you to keep your composure. I know Michael is usually the quietest, most reserved of you 3 in these vids, and I could tell just by looking at him when Uncle hugged Zuko he was fighting to not bust out in tears of joy.
Totally. The facial expressions of Ozai then, and Azula when she realizes Zuko is outplaying her, are so right.
I think more than that.. I think Ozai realized that Zuko actually did what he said he would do. that he trained the Avatar in every way to beat the fire lord.
"history will see it as just more sensless violence. A brother killing a brother (sister in this case) to grab power"-UNCLE IROH
I actually never really liked the following line that for the only way for the war to end peacefully was for the avatar to defeat Ozai. It makes sense in the context of the story but in terms of themes/message for the audience it offers a sort of grim outlook. We don’t have an Avatar or anything similar on our own planet, so if a dictator or absolute monarch is doing something objectively evil, is there no way for anyone to resolve that peacefully? I feel like Iroh could’ve taken out Ozai and not had his history tarnished once news of the FIre Lord’s intended plan spread worldwide. Ozai would almost certainly become a Hitler-esque personality in that world, someone universally acknowledged as genuinely evil by the majority of the people everywhere, including the fire nation.
Plus if Iroh just lets Zuko take the throne like he intends to anyways, that would avoid any power-grabbing accusations. He even plans to live as a tea shop owner in the Earth Kingdom which pretty much eliminates any possibility of the “yeah he let his teenage nephew be in charge but behind the scenes he’s calling the shots” type of rumors lol
@@loooongneck there is no avatar in our world, but there is the people.
@@loooongneck what Iroh meant was that his hands are already stained. He was the former Crown Prince and Dragon of the West that brought down the wall then betrayed the Fire Nation. The world would never accept Iroh as their savior or as Fire Lord
@@MrKingYuji but the world doesn’t need to accept him as their savior. Even if in doing so he would tarnish his legacy forever, Iroh would still fight for what he believes is right. We already know that he cares about doing what he thinks is right more so than his image in his eyes of the people or he wouldn’t have been partaking in traitorous actions against the fire nation in the first place.
@@loooongneck I think the point is there still needs to be a fire lord. Zuko is the only one cut out for it. Iroh’s job is to be the leader of the white lotus and free Ba Sing Se. keep in mind this is an eastern based show with themes like destiny and fate. Iroh is “meant” to free Ba Sing Se so to speak
The fight between Ozai and Aang was epic, but the agni kai between Azula and Zuko is art in motion.
It’s kind of sad when you remember that Azula was only 14 (possibly 15 by the end), too bad her father kept their mother from raising her
Gabriele was dead on about the lightening. Aang saw the terrified look on Ozai's face and couldn't go through with it. Phoenix King of Pissing his Pants.
Azulas mother in her hallucination sums up her behavior perfectly. She’s always used fear to control everyone. Even her friends. And when she was in a situation where that didn’t work anymore, she literally drove herself into madness. She is 14. People forget that she’s so young and has been manipulated at a young age to use her power and rage to get what she wants. And now that she has no one, she is slowly losing her mind. It’s so tragic to watch but it’s also the most beautiful. The creators taking their time to show her decent into madness. It isn’t something to be like “yea that’s what you get!” Essentially you can say that because she’s the villain. But it’s also so sad to see it. Just beautifully made. A truly beautiful show.
Toph can't beat Aang cuz he can basically fly and she can't detect that. She has trouble with enemies not on the ground
Like when he first met her in the "Blind bandit" and he was like floating or something 😭 and she was looking around for em.
If Aang wasn't the avatar; I believe Toph would kill him in a fight.
@Controlman why would that matter? His air bending alone is already a massive problem for her to deal with.
@@a_fine_edition2746 Wym why would that matter?. The biggest reason why Aang would kill Toph in a fight is because he's the avater. I'm saying a hypothetical situation where Aang isn't the avatar, I believe Toph would win. I never said it's an objective fact, but that's my opinion.
@@controlman7490 a blind earthbender is just heavily countered by airbenders bro. Did you not see how much issues she had with fucking buzzard wasps in S2E11? She needed Katara to point her in the right direction. Without that there's no way she'd be able to hit something moving in the air.
Probably my favorite episode of the show, it's just awesome! And the Agni Kai scene is just chef's kiss 🔥🔥
Zuko vs Azula fight gave me goosebumps
7:00 She kind of did know where they are! Remember how Toph's blind sense works? She can see what they're doing with Earth Bending. She 'saw' Sokka point to the direction of the airship and as soon as he did, she used her earth bending to launch them in that direction.
That’s why she wouldn’t be able to fight azula/ozai bc all they’d have to do is fly around
@@therealwelfin Yup, agreed. I don't think she'd stand a chance in an area with actual airspace. I think the best opportunity she would've had to fight Ozai was in that bunker during the eclipse.
Let's not forget that Toph/Sokka/Suki's goal was to stop the airships *before* they took off. Toph is perfect for that, but because they were already in the air, Toph couldn't aim properly.
Iroh's blast wasn't just a random wall/building. In a single blast he took down the impenetrable walls of Ba Sing Se he once laid siege to for 600 days.
I thought it was 100 days?
@@twilight_lupinesilva4691 nope 600
Note how in the past Zuko challenged Azula to agni kai and she refused disrespectfully, and this time she is the one to offer it right away. On the account of her "slipping".
In Avatar hair is of great importance. Going back to season 2 episode 1 when Zuko and Iroh cut their hair. Azula's symmetrical hair always stood for perfection (also season 2 episode 1 ("almost perfect, one hair out of place"), know she is broken, shown by her unperfect hair. Sozin's and Ozai's hair is symmetrical as well. The attack move Zuko used to make Azula fall is basically his unique move. Zuko used this move first against Zhao in season 1 episode 3.
This was again a great reaction, I am looking forward to the last episode, already your Avatar reaction has a special place in my heart though.
I love how there isn’t the regular agni kai music during Zuko vs Azula. It’s sad music bc it’s not an epic final battle, it’s a tragedy between family members.
Fun fact the team paid outta pocket for that 🔥🔥🔥 animation that we got today! Also, Azula's character arch is one of the best well written parts of the show IMO. She's a great villain, but I also emplore you guys to remember that she is only 14 years old. People aren't just born bad people, it takes a lot to get there. And the fact that 14 year old child was pushed to those limits brings a deep sense of saddeness to the mix.
You can REALLY hear the Joker when Ozai says "You're weak! Just like the rest of your people!"
Nobody noticed that Zuko used all the bending style during his fight ( look at the way he use his firebending)
I don't Toph could beat Azula or Ozai because they can bend lighting so metal wouldn't do much. She can probably take on any firebender but covering yourself in metal against someone that can shoot lighting would just make it worse. Plus Ozai can fly lmao Toph wouldn't see him.
you could use metal to attract the lightining away from you tho. As long as you are not touching it you wold be fine. You could even use it to make a faraday cage for example (for defense). But in offense I don't see much practicable use
Nah see. Momo didn't leave until Aang told him to do so. Momo was ready for that smoke
You know, all these moral quandaries and debates make me really eager to see your guys reactions to Death Note. The discussions would be fierce in that series lmao
But yeah… you’d be asking a lot to expect a 12 year old Buddhist monk to commit homicide lol
Great reaction as always guys
It’s kinda interesting to think that Metal Bending hasn’t been done by anyone by Toph. So when the guards see a little girl break down a door, turn into the door, and start throwing hands, imagine what’s going through their minds.
Double dipping in the comments, but I always liked how throughout the show with Azula, her mental state is portrayed with her hair and bending. In her early episodes, you always see her adjusting her hair. Like with the first scene with one hair out of place trying to be perfect. She always firebended with the tips of her fingers. Then with her duel after Zuko at the western air temple, her hair is fully down when she broke. Then now cutting away her bangs and using firebending with her whole hands. It a great way subtly show that in a character.
if you can't trust the people closest to you who can you trust? I also feel like she saw threw ozais gift as just manipulation "im making you firelord (even though the firelord pretty much has no power cause im king)"
Okay okay I’ll explain this as short as possible. Now remember way back when, when Iroh was teaching Zuko how to redirect azulas lightning? And iroh was teaching zuko about drawing wisdom from all four elements? I believe that he indeed took his word and decided to take inspiration from the four elemental stances. Pay close attention to his forms while watching, he went crazy with that airbending move aswell near the end. Hope you enjoyed the show so far, eventually looking forward to your reactions to The Legend of Korra
Azula’s goals are to be with Ozai, be the greatest leader in the Fire Nation history, and have a parent to help her. For two of these, her wickedness will both help and hinder her. Smirking while Zuko is burned? Threatening the captain over a reasonable concern like the tides in order to exert her dominance? Throwing loaves of breast at turtle ducks and still having them swim away from her when she’s fourteen? Shoving Ty Lee to the ground and laughing at her just because Ty Lee upstaged her? Tormenting Zuko over something as awful as Ozai being ordered to kill him and enjoying it? Smugly having Ty Lee over a burning net to make a point? It makes her able to manipulate the Dai Li. Pushing Mai and Ty Lee too hard and making them betray her? It got their cooperation for a time. Embracing Ozai‘s treatment of Zuko and doing everything necessary to avoid the same? Well, she never really got treated like Zuko, did she? It makes her able to thrive in the current Imperial government, but also incapable of adapting to failure. Azula’s wickedness contributed to her downfall. The biggest mistake Azula had made before the Agni Kai was banishing the Dai Li. They were like her Get out of Jail Free card. She emptied the palace with all of its powerful people to help her. But, she did had a point there. Who’s to say that they won’t betray her the same way as they did with Long Feng?
Ursa always cared about Azula, but she was concerned in the way Azula was turning out. This is the first time Ursa said I love you to Azula in the series, but not in Azula’s life. I think if Ursa had tried to counteract with Ozai’s teachings toward Azula, then she would still be the same in the series. She would still have Ozai’s influence, something that Zuko didn’t, because he didn’t have the personality and abilities that Ozai wanted him to have. I think if Ozai saw that, then he would have increased his influence on Azula or done something to hurt Ursa. To Ozai, Zuko is a lost cause, but with Azula though, that’s a different story. She was already going down that path when Ursa was still there in the palace. I don’t criticize Ursa for scolding Azula anything she did for pretty bad behavior, because she is able to be a parent to Azula, something Ozai is not.
That wasn't Ursa talking though; that was Azula's mind creating a false perception of a caring Ursa who loves her; something the real Ursa didn't do. Her real mother considered her a monster, called her sick, and rarely checked up on her, she devoted all her time to Zuko, which explains Azula's semi-hatred for her brother. If Ursa had been more attentive, loving, and compassionate towards Azula's obvious mental problems, perhaps Azula wouldn't have been this vile. Ozai preferred Azula, but showed Zuko no love, Ursa preferred Zuko, but showed Azula no love. The difference is though; Ursa showered Zuko with constant love and affection, simply for being himself, while Ozai only ever praised Azula just for her talents. With a father who only cherished her for her bending abilities, and a mother who didn't love her, it's no wonder she descended into absolute madness, I think any human being would.
@@controlman7490 THANK YOU!!
@@controlman7490 Where is the evidence that Ursa considered Azula a monster though? Azula didn’t hear her saying what is wrong with that child. If I had a child who I thought was a monster, I wouldn’t let her play with her sibling or had friends. Zuko did not have any friends in Zuko Alone. Iroh and Lu Ten were away fighting. Ozai did nothing. Besides Ursa, there would be no one else that would have given Zuko time of day. Read the Search because they included some scenes that would disapprove your theory. I don’t agree and you can’t convince me otherwise.
@@horsegirl19951 Azula stated a few times how her own mother considered her a monster, which means from her perspective her mother didn't love her. This seems to be the case because during the flashbacks Ursa never showed any type of love, caring, or affection towards her daughter. She only ever scolded her and acknowledged something was wrong with her mentally, but never took it upon herself to try and find out what. She never played with Azula once, the way she did with Zuko and while it's true Azula misbehaved frequently, that's not an excuse for a mother to not spend time with her child. Another example is when Azula was telling Zuko that Ozai was going to kill him. Ursa didn't hear the conversation, but when she came into the room, she immediately assumed Azula was the one causing trouble, which was true, but a good mother would've heard both sides and then resolved the issue, not blamed 1 child and believe the other. I'll bring up 1 final example that actually does prove Ursa didn't love Azula. Azula was a natural prodigy in firebending, she had mastered multiple forms of fire bending and impressed her teachers, and even her father. The only person who never gave her an ounce of praise or compliment for her achievements; was her own mother. The only time Azula got attention from her mother was when she did something bad. That means it required Azula misbehaving for her mother to actually acknowledge her existence, which means Ursa clearly didn't love her at all. The search didn't disprove anything I said, most of the interactions we saw between Azula and her mother were nothing but hallucinations. You can disagree with me, that's part of the discussion, but know that I'm not wrong.
Also, the fact you would alienate and distance your daughter from the rest of the family, simply because she's mentally ill; makes you a shit person. If you were a good parent, you would love her and try to get help for her condition. You and Ursa share something in common; terrible parenting.
@@controlman7490 Ursa tried her best with Azula but every time she wanted to help, Ozai would just come in and reward Azula’s bad behavior. I recommend going to the comics for more detail
17:58 This shot of Aang standing to defy the inferno.💪 Subtle call back to the shot of him taking on the volcano in the Fortuneteller. Love the birds flying away and then Momo departing. Nature & animals in particular play such a strong background role in this story, as parts of our world with deep value and also (w/ animals) as cues on moral significance of characters & actions. Momo, specifically, is a kind of tie to innocence for Aang. So when Aang tells him to go here, that's him taking full responsibility for the moment as an emerging adult. No Momo to save Aang from falling as he did in the Drill. Aang had to catch *himself*. Can really feel Aang's courage in this moment.
6:25 that IS very merciful for Azula lol
- I love how they set things up one or more seasons in advance !
Remember Azula in her introductory episode in Season 2 ? So controlling of even herself, that a single hair out of place when practicing lighting was "almost perfect", but almost wasn't good enough. I think that's why they focused on the hair back then and again here.... shows her mental state all the way in the beginning and then again here at the end.
Amazing writing !!!!
if Azula uses electricity then Toph is super dead cuz metal is a condutor of electricity.
Honestly though, metal is a much better conductor of electricity than the human body, as long as her body is entirely encased in metal, and touching the ground, all the electricity will flow through the metal into the ground, leaving her body unharmed. It's a Faraday Cage.
that's IF Toph is wearing the metal armour at that time, which is very situational.. then again.. if I saw that right, Toph had armored her entire body, soles of her feet included.. so basically she'd be wearing a faraday cage.
Azula's lightning can suck it.
@@DragonMoth34 Yeah no that's a terrible idea, the metal is far too close to Toph's body and Azula's lighning way to big and forceful.
Toph is insanely skilled, strong, and inventive this young, just imagine when she grows up.
👀
She would've *DESTROY US ALL!!*
Imagine her in her prime, she would have DESTROYED YOU!!!
Azula fans: "Everything Azula did was Ursa's fault for (correctly) thinking she was a monster."
Azula's own brain: "Your mom didn't think you were a monster and did love you."
Just want to chime in. The reason Toph doesn't go against Azula or Ozai is because they can both fly, negating here ability to "see" them.
I’m still laughing at “Go get the Phoenix King”!! Toph is an entire Avatar state all by herself!
Just imagine if Toph WAS the Avatar. She lived her whole life the same up to the point that she met Aang, but instead of meeting Aang she finds out she's the Avatar instead. Avatar Toph. She'd be unstoppable.
You can see the difference in Joeng Joeng and Azula/Ozai at flying. JJ just needs a little flame to fly, Azula and Ozai need a giant rocket to fly
Yeah good point bc Jeong Jeong was all about using control w firebending, but Ozai and Azusa just put everything into it bc of their power-hungry attitude
Jeong Jeong is hovering that’s why. Azula skates around and is going crazy, which is why her fire is so puffy. Ozai actually flies around so creates a jet
That's not quite true, Zuko does the same in the comics and has still the least control. It's just that Jeong Jeong is calmly floating without much position changes, while Azula(hell she is literally surfing over the ground on her fire) and Ozai are wildly dashing around.
@@MrKingYuji Yep.
The firelord can fly. Toph doesn't stand a chance against him
40mins?!
Thats what i wanna see letsgooooo!
🙌🏾
This episode also explains the question of how did the firenation reach the airtemples. When sozins comet arrives, firebenders can basically fly
azula could fly before
@@sonicartzldesignerclan5763 nah, more like launch her self for a bit. When she fell down from that airship at the western airtemple she really could have used flying but she didnt
@@kc_h7h Uhm she kinda did, it was just not necessary to actually fly to the side.
@@gunchar06 bro never never flew before. The only thing that came close was in that boiling rock episode when she launched herself but it was only for a few seconds. When she fell from that airship she launched herself to the side to catch herself. If she could actually fly why not fly up instead of to the side?
@@kc_h7h That was quite literally flying, just for a shorter time period.
dawg bro said , i cant lie, the avatar is not helping us , im crying
Yeah back when I first watched the finale as a child I was so upset at katara for just standing there… but like now as an adult I get it. She genuinely believed that they would both hold themselves to the rules of the finale Agni Kai…. I mean it is a little strange that they both took azula at her word… maybe she just had that much faith in Zuko to win.
Azula going mad is pretty epic
This episode is absolutely EPIC. I think it's my favorite of the four part finale. There's a lot of great moments throughout the finale, but oh my goodness, the music, animation, storytelling, just it's so good. The Agni Kai with Zuko and Azula is my favorite fight in this show. The music sells it - it's sad and somber, reminding us that it's not just "Hero vs. Villain", but a Brother fighting his Sister.
I dont know man. Katara has that Black Air Force Energy when she wanna. I dont think she would win normally but if its a full moon she might fold ozai in his clothes.
Yeah cause bloodbending is stupidly overpowered, but there's obviously no full moon during Sozin's Comet.
Raphael: they are in a tough situation.... no pun intended
LIES! we all know you intended that pun lmao
🤣🤣
i don’t want this series to end 😭😭
Toph and Azula are the most talented and OP characters
"Toph cant swim, fuck, yikes" BRO LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Avatar aired from 2005-2008, so yes... dude was entirely right. Damn good guess too. Definitely was ahead of it's time for animation.
?? there has been amazing animation since the 80s. its better than a lot of animation that is cheaper and not as well made but there were way better animations from a technical standpoint long before 2008...
First time these guys see eachother ever and just throw hands, love to see it
The fight between azula and her brother fucking gets me man I have to cry all the time there’s no words between them the animation it’s so intense that a fight between two siblings. And yeah she isn’t her right mind at all or else she would 100% have this fight in the bag she would be toying with them like her usual self… the last episode there’s a scene there it’s so much for me cause she’s literally just 14 years old with no one to rely on and you even heard her “ fear is the only way “ that’s how she raised no one would have payed any attention to her if it wasn’t for that.. I feel so upset for her she really is the best villain ever she’s such a well written character.
People hate on Katara for standing there, but I hate on Zuko for fighting Azula alone when they had a plan to fight her together from start.
Their whole plan was absurd if you think about it, they couldn't have known what happened with Azula. So it would be a not completely insane Comet Azula, a horde of Comet Royal firebenders and a horde of Dai Li vs just Comet Zuko, Katara with uncertain water sources and Appa who's straight up scarred of fire from their perspective.
Or in short: An absolutely insane suicide mission.
I kinda understand why she decided to stand there. She heard the word lightning and probably remembered what happened last time Azula used lightning.
Q&A: What did you expect before you started to show. And how do you look back on those expectations?
Love your reactons Cheers.
@18:42 that moment Ozai realized that his son was serious about teaching the Avatar firebending. 🤣
2003!!!
Hand drawn!!!
Let that sink in!!! That’s why this show is THEE GOAT and stays in the list of the top 100 TV shows of all time. Also, note uncle wasn’t able to break through the walls of Ba Sing Se. He did it easily this time with the Comet.
The creators put most of the seasons budget into this finale including their own money. They also hired a full orchestra to make the music as epic as possible.
I don't know if anyone ever mentioned this, but Ozai's voice actor is Mark Hamill, yes, THAT Mark Hamill, and he KILLS this role
Mark hamill is cool
Thanks for the reaction as always guys, u know I appreciate it! Man, I was sitting looking at my phone waiting for this vid to come out, had to get here as early as possible. My favorite episode ever, delivers on every front. Glad I can watch it all over again with u guys. 1 episode to go!
22:20 even a blind person would be able to see so much fire
that’s not true. she’s hearing the roar of it and can probably feel the heat too. total blindness is total blindness; doesn’t matter how bright something is.
@@chance757 i didn't mean that
Why people keep forgetting that Aang is a monk!?!. They don't do violence!!! 🙄
One of the best if not the best episode of the series. The score of the agni kai sets the tone of this tragic battle between brother and sister. Mind you that they're just teenagers (14/15/16 yearish), both mentally and physically abused by their father. I've always wondered why Azula's fire is blue. Apparently blue fire indicates a perfect combustion (something with the oxygen levels), which can also be related to Azula's perfectionism. Before she lost her cool she was always calculated and even used her 2 fingers to firebend, indicating precision. Fastforward to now we can see that she uses her entire palms to bend.
On the other hand we see Zuko implementing techniques from other bending elements which I like to think he picked up during his team with team avatar (also a call back to the episode where uncle Iroh gave him a lesson about the 4 elements):
He stood is ground during the fight with some sturdy stances, very reminiscent of earthbenders
He did the b-boy rotator 3000 ting which is quite a elegant move befitting of an airbender
And finally the lighting redirection which is based on the tai-chi-esque moves of waterbenders
Nice details.
"Aang is just a kid, bro..."
No cap, I had a 13 year old girl student who was absolutely amazing. She went to a local UFC gym and challenged one of their prize fighters and one shot him with a kick right into his jaw. People underestimate younger opponents all the time.
Firelord/Phoenix King Ozai is showing the philosophy of how combos work in Shaolin/Firebending, where every strike leads into the next. The combo of a Shaolin master is relentless. Once they have the advantage, they press it until they decide they are done.
A true Shaolin Master can throw 200 strikes in 1 minute.
i laugh every time raphael calls azula "the witch" it's so fitting lol
YALL SO RUDE FOR SAYING ‘bye:P’ AFTER SUKI GOT SEPARATED LMAO!!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Azula's descent into madness is a fucking trainwreck I can't look away from, and it works on me like a hard drug. It is truly a spectacle and I really wished that instead of the comics, we'd have season 4. Because ho lee shieeeeet
Edit: one thing to note is that what uncle said is true: while bending lightning you need to be completely void of emotions. In that brief moment of lucidity that Azula's created for herself (like she's done countless times I'm guessing) she realised how she could easily beat Zuko, and shot the lightning at Katara. She finally found out Zuko's one remaining "flaw", his friends.
"But the real question is: wtf is Katara there? What's going on?"
Lmao
the music for the last Agni Kai is sooooo good. because this is a sad fight! brother vs sister, and azula is only fourteen. their paths got so twisted and now they're turned against each other. a badass fight song like aang vs ozai wouldn't work half so well as the somber, mournful one they went with.
The way Azula talks to the "her mother" like no suprise she is here is maybe because it is not the first time Azula talks with that hallucination
Kyoshi was born with 0 fucks to give. She told this man "Fuck him up at any cost. I. Do. Not. Care."
"His voice actor is doing a great job"
No surprise here ;)
Mark Hammil did Ozai's voice.
He may have been known best for Luke Skywalker, but his most infamous role was voice acting for Batman the Animated series as none other than THE JOKER.
I doubt you'll read this now but you'd mention the fire lords voice actor doing great. I wouldn't expect anything less as his voice actor is the legendary Mark Hamill
We agree 😂
Fun Fact! : The Voice Actor for Fire Lord Ozai is none other than Mark Hamill! You might know him better as Luke Skywalker from Star Wars, or the Joker from the Batman animated series from the 1990's. He's absolutely brilliant as a VA.
Well zuko had a great redemption but iron helped him a lot. When we was young his mum cared about him, but azula didn't have this love. Her father showed her his attention only if she was the best so she did anything to make him proud. Her story is a tragedy actually. Of course she was a horrible person to, but she didn't know how to live in other way
Even the music during agni Kai is tragic because it's not about action
Also it was stupid from katara to just stand here but zuko did this because he could redirect and minimize the harm from it(he did this actually he wasn't just striked with lightning)
Could it be that the Firelord was scared because he only saw Zuko redirecting lightning and Zuko said he will join the Avatar and now he can see Zuko did taught Aang
When Sokka, Suki and Toph are on the airships, they aren't over the water anymore and even if they were, jumping into the water would be like hitting concrete from that height and if they survived, Toph can't swim...😬
Y’all should do a tier list video, like use a tier list maker for power rankings, episode rankings, and character rankings (either power or how much you like them), and you could either do it live or do it as a video & do it separate from the q&a (again to get those dank view hours)
Also your reaction to this got me hyped. This episode is 10/10 and your reaction is 10/10
facts on the katara thing! I still get mad when I see her there lmao, because she could have watched from a safer location and only jumped in if/when necessary
then again, redirecting is basically based on waterbending... if Zuko had not jumped in front of her, I think she'd have had a fair shot at doing it herself.
@@dehro it is based on waterbending but it is not a waterbending move.
If she tried it, she would’ve ended up like Ming Hua 😬
@@dehro Waterbenders can't redirect lightning, you still need to be able to actually control the element.
@@gunchar06 good point
Zuko definitely took in some of Azula’s lightning when she struck at Katara, but if you look at the next shot a lot of it flies up into the sky, showing that he managed to redirect a lot of it out just in time
My goodness, what a friggin adventure I've had with u guys watching these, super excited for the korra reactions!!!
Yessir 😤
Same I've been checking every week to see if they started Korra
I still feel compassion for Azula. She only had her father and Mai and ty lee left her. She went insane because everyone betray her. It’s really makes me sad because she’s clever and talented. Ozai is the one to blame for her
DONT FORGET SHE IS 14 AND YOUNGER THAN ZUKO STILL TRYING TO LEARN LIFE. ZUKO STARTED TTHE SAME!!! In struggling! She deserves
I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SHOWDOWN 🔥🔥🔥
"Jump into the water" from that height? They'd kill themselves doing that.
They bring back something in this episode that I think they touched on in The Firebending Masters: this technique of breath control with firebnding. How a lot of fire benders use physical power and strength in their bending, but iroh uses his breathing.
They might've mentioned it for the first time in regards to Combustion Man actually
