"We might... have a problem, boys." Azula is S-Tier, built different, *BLACK AIR FORCE ENERGY.*

Aang was merged with the ocean spirit when he didn't attack those water tribe people so it's not really a good indicator of how in control he is.

I'm so glad you immediately recognized the importance of Zuko and Iroh cutting off their hair. Because the association of hair and honor in the fire nation is never really explained in the series. No hair bun means you are honorless, a disgrace and you lost your rank in high society. If you wanna understand the details you gotta read the Avatar Kyoshi novels. Always keep Japanese culture and customs in mind when you see fire nation stuff. And yes, the power Aang possesses in the Avatar state is insane. It really can't be overstated.

​@@LMaximus904 when every character is complicated, it conflates the story and takes away attention from the characters the storytellers want the audience to focus on. Azula is perfect in the role she has. She is manipulative, perfectionist, ruthless, and doesn't make mistakes. That, and the way she affects Zuko (and how different she is from him) are what make Azula interesting. Her own backstory in book 3 is cool to get, but it's not as interesting as everything else about her imo

Azula's line about the ships and rocky shores was an audition line and the actress killed it so hard they had to include it.

Ah, yes. The introduction of everyone’s favorite teenage villainess. Lots of stuff I could say here, but Azula is quite a complicated character, and I don’t want to imply anything. Suffice to say I look forward to seeing your perception of her evolve going forward Also yeah, the cutting off the top knot/ponytail thing is classic Japanese symbolism for new beginnings. You picked up on that pretty much off jump street. It’s the beginning of a new life for Zuko and Iroh, can’t wait to see where they go from here. Episode 7 can’t come fast enough…

Loved the reaction to Azula's lightning and Iroh's redirection... pretty darn cool, right? Book two really steps it up from the first and the third is even better... looking forward to watching the rest of the show again with you :) keep it up man

So for the Fire Nation a top knot is a symbol of honor and it's like a sacred feature for them. That's why Zuko is bald except for the ponytail. He shaved because of the shame but he kept the ponytail for this very reason. Them cutting it off is like abadoning their identity. In order to hide and in order to redeem themselves from the bloody past their kind has.

Yeeey I'm back. And we are finally meeting Azula, my favorite character in the entire show. I really like most of the Fire Nation Royal Family, tbf. Most of them are really good characters (And yeah, Avatar Szeto was op. Bending volcanos and everything. But all Avatars are. You'll see more of their power throughout the show)

Katara does have a tendency to put her own hurt above other's, like in the very beginning of season 1 she highlights how evil the fire nation is by saying they killed her mother even though that's a drop in the ocean of evil.

just discovered your channel and i wanna say usually when i watch reactors they’re either really attentive and have good analysis and pov OR they’re really funny and have a good sense of humor. you however, are both. you’re so thoughtful about what you’re watching and you genuinely make me laugh since i started watching this reaction series. i haven’t been inclined to watch a reactor watch anything other than atla, but i think ill genuinely check out your other videos.

So after googling I found out that Harakiri refers to the action of cutting the stomach while seppuku represents the ritual and the traditional procedure of cutting the stomach. Seems like Japenese people hardly ever use harakiri tho and prefere using seppuku over harakiri so your version is the better one ! :)

After rewatching the series with you, I realized of a possible plot hole that I didn't before. Right after Iroh turns against the fire soldiers and Zuko loses Aang, we see Ozai telling Azula Iroh is a traitor and Zuko a failure in the following scene. I mean, is it quite some time supposed to have passed already? If not, how did Ozai get the memo so quickly? I don't recall them having smartphones.

@heliianth

i think an explanation comes from the fact that the gap between 1x20 and 2x1 is 3 weeks. considering azula doesn't actually find zuko and iroh until after that 3 week period, that scene could've happened anywhere in between. atla has a habit of sneaking huge timeskips past you (ex. 2x15 --> 2x16)

I think you need to rewatch a certain scene in the Book 2 finale. Katara can definitely hold her own against Azula.

I have never liked Azula. I like to believe that the ship captain did it on purpose, so Azula doesn’t get what she wants. Like you don’t care about my life and me, so I’m going to ruin your plans. Jee (the lieutenant on Zuko’s ship, the one that really didn’t like Zuko at first in the Storm episode) would get so tired of Azula’s shit so quick if he had been on the same ship as her.
