With this OP I really wanted to focus on the heart of the particular season. I felt that I almost got off track a bit with the second OP for Book 2 and used a lot of Sakuga and made it more of what I like to call a “hype OP” which there’s nothing wrong with, but it’s not typically my style. I had to really look back at what made Book 3 great and rewatch the season. Which is why it took me two days to finish this. This song has been something I wanted to use for a while and it just felt right while editing and I couldn’t stop until it was finished, unlike others when I’ll take probably a break or so before it’s done. I really love this series a LOT so I wanted to make sure that I got it down right for this particular OP and I hope you all enjoy it!

I love the parallels drawn between Zuko's rise and Azula's fall here: transitioning from Azula right after she cuts her hair to Zuko right as he removes his royal topknot to go join Team Avatar and again from Zuko performing the Dancing Dragon, a moment of triumph and self-actualization, to Azula smashing the mirror as she spirals into a mental breakdown. Every time Zuko appears, he is more at peace and more self-actualized, whereas Azula looks worse in every appearance (even though the bulk of the Azula clips were drawn from the same scene). Also, the way you captured Aang's internal conflict as he comes down to the final confrontation was really good too, and the parallels drawn between Zuko and Aang as both struggle between the weight of their duties and their own personal sense of morality (cutting from Aang burying his face in his hands as the previous Avatars tell him that duty demands he give up his pacifism to Zuko in the same posture as he fights between what in his heart he knows to be right and what he has been taught are his responsibilities as a prince of the Fire Nation).

So that’s where I decided to hit more with the characters journeys and individual stories - also when Azula smashes the mirror with the image of her mother and it flashes to Katara’s flashback about her mother was intentional as well I don’t think people caught on lol

0:38 - 1:17 Gave me goosebumps all the way through holy shit. 1:37 - 2:04 Was also perfectly timed with the momentum of the music. goddamn. Awesome dude.

The intro we didn’t know we needed

I'm just going to say: I have watched, and read, a good number of fictional literatures. For manga/anime, I read/watch some of them that I found either truly spectacular or really good, be it finished or ongoing, like Berserk, Hokuto no Ken, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Eden: It's an Endless World, Slam Dunk, Eyeshield 21, Crows, Claymore, Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist (and FMA Brotherhood), Vagabond, the Lone Wolf and Cub, Blade of the Immortal, Code Geass, One Punch Man, Goblin Slayer, All-Rounder Meguru, and Ouroboros. But among them all, Gintama has a truly special place in my heart. It was, is, and will forever be my favorite manga/anime series. Avatar: the Last Airbender also has a special place as another best series I ever watch. I had so many goosebumps, and almost got tears in my eyes as soon as the video ended. My only disappointment for this video is how seldom Iroh's appearance in this video while him destroying the Wall of Ba Sing Se should have been shown during the chorus. But what done is done. Even without it, this opening is already great. Really outstanding work. 👍

I loved this opening, it really captures the heart of the series and book 3, and I love how you used an extended version of opening 13 of Gintama. And I'm sure it was intentional of you to show Aang, still not wanting to kill Ozai, but knowing there might not be another way. Obviously he doesn't kill him, but I love those morally grey idea's coming from a show on Nickelodeon. Thank you for making these openings, I appreciate your work.

Here’s another really good spot. 1:32

Maaan.... 0:59 is everything what is right on this edit! And i love it!!!!

I like how book 2 was more action/ adventure and book 3 is more symbolic and emotional.

1:41 is soo well timed!! Good job man this is really good!

I can't get over how amazing this is. I have watched this literally dozens of times and 1:30 onwards never fails to make my spine tingle. Literal. Goosebumps.

The second chorus is actually so amazing. The way it captures Aang vs Ozai, before jumping to Azula vs Zuko, specifically the lightning scene to then link it through Katara, to Aang getting struck and finally back to Ozai. Absolute, flawless mastery of editing I get goosebumps everytime I watch it and repeat those last 30 seconds constantly

Just watched all three of these “OPs” for the first time. This one gave me CHILLS!

Combining my favourite show and one of my favourite openings from one of my favourite anime? 10/10

I am so fan, I can't stop replay this. Good work ✨

That edit of all the Avatars with Aang was sick

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THE CLEAN TRANSITION FROM 1:39???

This is really well made, and makes me want to watch the whole series over gain. I really love how it ends with Aang pointing the lighting at Ozai because we know Aang will win as the main character, but we don't know if he's ready to take a life or not as that is the main conflict within him leading up to the fight and making the OP as a whole come full circle with the beginning. Little stuff like that makes me go crazy so freaking props dude on making such an amazing edit.

One Piece openings post-timeskip, (or at least opening 15 or so) : am I a joke to you?

Bro, this opening is a masterpiece. The feels and the music are so on point. The music you chose, Yeah Ginatama is actually good for the mood of Book 3.

This is probably my favorite video to ever hit the internet

Ty Lee vs suki fit really well. One of my favs

This one was definitely the best out of the three

Even without the bias of this being my favorite series, I love the attention to detail in the editing and it's clear that this was made with love and passion. Sakura Mitsutsuki is a perfect choice for Book 3 and one thing I haven't seen mentioned too much is that you went through the effort of extending when you could've easily used the TV size cut. There very much is a theme of dichotomy in this opening, between the lighthearted beginning to heart pounding end, between Zuko's rise and Azula's fall, between Aang's struggle of killing Ozai and upholding his culture, and the list goes on. Another element I noticed is how effectively you portrayed each of the major characters' conflicts, aside from maybe Toph but she still shines. But probably my favorite thing about your edit is how you use the timing with the music to effectively change tones. Obviously, there's the slower start that adds build-up, but then when the chorus starts, Aang's fire plume feeds into Azula's with Katara rushing away, Sokka coming in from the opposite end to show that he can still be useful (keeping in mind that a lot of the clips are from the first half). Then it slows down in the middle of the part to show off Zuko's conflict (which subtly fits with the lyrics). After that, it ramps back up, only now with parts from the second half after Zuko's turn. The bridge then goes on to show both Aang and Zuko rising with their paths now joined, Azula falling into despair, Katara almost having those same feelings (again, it works a little with the lyrics), only to show how the Hundred Year War has progressed from Sozin and Roku to Ozai and Iroh and finally to Aang and Zuko. The chorus repeat continues what the first chorus did, and a notable thing is that you set the part with the heavy drums to the Avatar State awakening, which isn't a hype moment in the traditional sense. And then of course there's the second to last shot of Aang with the lightning, effectively showing the main theme of the entire series.

This is a masterpiece

OH man, I can't remember the last time I got goose bumps like this. Seriously, I almost wanted to cry. You really captured the magic of not just this season, but the entire show.

Their faces were intriguing 1:57. Especially Aang at 1:58-1:59

Seriously they should have hired you to do the official openings for the show, that was awesome. PS: 0:33 this was hilarious.

This just reminds me of how badass Zuko is
