1 subtle (if unintentional) detail I noticed upon a rewatch of this show is that because Aang's voice actor was a kid going through puberty as the show was airing Aang's voice gradually gets deeper as the episodes went on which added to his character development.

​@monkbeats290 as the sister to an older brother, voices don't just drop one day. Usually it's pretty gradual, with lots of cracks and squeaks and ish. If you compare aangs voice from the first episode to the last, you can definitely tell a difference. It's just hard to tell when you're watching every episode in order because it's so gradual. It's not that his voice dropped, just that it gradually got lower as happens to most boys that age lol

When Zuko is seemingly falling to his death Azula glares at him with glee in a similar expression she displayed when Zuko was scarred by his father. But, when Azula is seemingly falling to her death Zuko is sad and remorseful. He's on the right team. Also, Zuko now realizes that Katara holds back, and she could've kill him anytime she wanted.

One of the most noticeable differences in Zuko's firebending is that he no longer grunts when firebending after learning from the dragons. He no longer has to be angry to create giant fireballs. That's why he looks a lot more calm and collected.

The dragon masters did their thang!!

There’s a very interesting theory that the puppet master Hama is responsible for Kia’s death. Since they knew Hama could bloodbend they stopped taking prisoners and resorted to killing the water benders instead so they wouldn’t be blood bent. That’s why he said they are no longer taking prisoners.

Seeing Katara Attacking and crying at the same time is really intense and sad. That’s why this is my favorite episode from the entire series. She’s broken inside, she carries with that fault all her life. She’s right to be mad of Zuko because he’s from the fire nation as the murder of her mom was, so, who wouldn’t do the same thing as Katara did? It is a trauma that she had to face one day. Thank you for reacting to this amazing series! ❤

Agreed! She was just a little girl at the time too but can see why she carried that trauma with her after all those years. Thanks for watching with us! 🥰🫶🏼

This shows how terrifying Katara really could be. Even Zuko’s little “0_0” face upon seeing her Bloodbending emphasizes it

Dee's enthusiasm for blood bending is so fun (terrifying?)! 😬 Great reaction to a great episode. It's the last regular episode of the show, and they really bring to a head core themes & character arcs here to show the full weight & trauma of this war, in such a personal way. It's the way every character in this show emotes so humanly that makes it hit so deeply and so right.

I hate to say this, because it probably sounds terrible, but it’s safe to say that Suki’s southern parts got raided. 😂😂😂 Sokka got lucky! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’ve heard this theory that Hama was indirectly the cause of Sokka & Katara’s mother getting killed. Prior to Hama inventing bloodbending the Fire Nation was only taking Southern Water Tribe benders as prisoners not killing them but after Hama discovered bloodbending and used it to escape from Fire Nation captivity, the Fire Nation most likely came to see the waterbenders of the Southern Water Tribe as huge threats which is when they started to change their approach from imprisoning them to outright exterminating them.

The Fire benders have nobody to blame but themselves for starting this war and making Hama the way that she was. When the war is over the fire benders need to accept their wrongdoings and acknowledge all of the suffering that they have caused to everyone else.

One great detail is that Zuko no longer yells when firebending after learning from the dragons.

Love this!

I know yall love Aang but this episode is what made me a Zutara fan 🤭🫣

I forget how obvious it is how fucked Azula is in this episode after Tylee and Mai betrayed her, this is really her decent into madness

I love your reaction, Avatar character are so mature and strong willed, But I'm surprise how many reactors always need to remind "they're children" "they're so mature for children", How many adults do you think as this level of wisdom ? Maybe on hot take here, and not to diminish Avatar's gang level of restraint, But I think it may be actually harder the older you get to let go of violence en vengance, WHen you are set in your ways for so long, when you have a life time of building, I think vengeance as a much more appeal when circumstances take things away from you.

It’s important to remember Kya’s name for future reasons.

3:37 He really is. He no longer does his little tennis grunts when he firebends, like it comes more effortlessly to him now.

To add on to something I wrote a few episodes ago, I still think it was strange to have Haru, Duke, Teo, & now Hakota & Chit Sang join the Gaang only for them to not do much in them & then they go their separate ways in this episode then they don't appear again until the finale.

Did you notice Toph wasn't in the rest of the episode after Sokka & Suki hooked-up? Toph is in love with Sokka and she could feel what they were doing.

Yes it is. When they were flying, Yue was in the sky like a full Moon

Fun facts: •The leis you see on Sokka's neck was joke on the writers saying Sokka got laid last night •The actress who voices Azula also voices Katara's mother • Toph most likely "saw" everything that Sokka and Suki are doing together in that tent, thanks to her seismic sense Katara and Aang butting heads cause of the revenge path is really good. Aangs dialogue in general in this episode is really good. You can see just how mature he is from the way he talks. The people that massacred his race are gone by now but even if they were alive, Aang would not choose revenge not only because it's against his Ideology but also because Revenge would not bring his race back. To Aang using the word "Justice" is an excuse to kill. And Sokka also agrees with Aang cause he's the logical kind of guy. Even tho he just found that his mother's killer was alive, he didn't jump at the chance because he knows that it happened because of the war. And his mom was a victim of war. So, in his eyes, going after the guy who killed his mother isn't the right play, Ending the war is. After all, the killer was a soldier and was just following orders. Zuko is with Katara cause his Ideology of Honor. He thinks if Katara kills this man she'd be at peace. The little bit of Old Zuko peaking through is really cool. Toph didn't really say anything but IF she were asked she'd probably say to Katara to do what she wants. Now, Zuko witnessing both the bloodbending and the rain bending scene while wondering how he's still alive is a pretty funny headcanon of mine. Him glaring at Yon Ra at the end who wa offering his mother up to die in his place. Both Katara and Zuko's moms volunteered to die/be banished in order to save their children. So what do I love the Most about this ep is she doesn't forgive the guy. The show teaching the kids revenge is wrong is good but not forgiving those who don't deserve forgiveness is an even better and a really important lesson as well. So Katara accepts the fact that her mother is gone and REFUSES to be a part of the cycle of Revnge. This episode is a Masterpiece. Great reaction. Hope u have a great day 💗 😊.

Hey Meesh and Dee "Happy Thursday". I hope you two day are going well. This was a great episode. The moment that majority the fans have been waiting for is Katara and Zuko. And we finally got it. When I first saw Avatar and knowing Katara and Sokka past of losing their mother. I would always wonder when that moment would come when they find and confront their mother killer. But I didn't think that Zuko would be the one that would help her. And I feel the way the writers did it was brilliant. Zuko betrayed everyone trust mostly Katara who was the first to trust him and what was the best way for her to forgive him is to have him help her find her mother killer and give her that closure. And the hug that she gave Zuko was amazing. Zuko going through a journey with Aang, Sokka and now Katara in these four episodes has been the best. But anyway I hope you two have a wonderful day. Stay safe, take care and stay amazing.

Remember what I wrote in The Puppetmaster how my fan theory/headcanon was that The Fire Nation had been capturing Waterbenders to find the Avatar & speed up the Avatar Cycle? Well, my guess is the reason why Katara's mom was killed rather than captured was the soldier probably thought "If she's the Avatar, her death will bring the Earthbending Avatar, & the Fire Nation is closer to having an Avatar who will help us conquer the Earth Kingdom."

@jmwilliamsart

Then perhaps the Fire Nation should’ve thought about that before they started this unjust war of theirs?

She's sarcastic when saying that. Translated to plain words, her statement means something along the lines of "I'll forgive you if you bring my mother back - which is impossible - so, never." The irony is that she's proven wrong by the end of the episode.

I've always loved that she didn't forgive him. Some things can be unforgiveable. Sure, forgiveness is one step towards healing, and it might be necessary for SOME people, but not for everyone. When people are told they NEED to forgive in order to heal, it can halt the healing process and they might feel as if there's something wrong with them if they can't.

I think in this episode Zuko realized that Katara is indeed able to kill him, like she threatened to do in a previous episode. We can assume that he has never witnessed blood-bending before, nor was he even aware that such a thing is possible. I guess I've never thought about it, but this episode kinda reminded me that water-bending is actually a really versatile form of bending. You can control water in its liquid form but you can harden it as well, which you can't really do with the other bending styles.

@MeeshDeeReacts

5 ай бұрын

Great details you’ve pointed out here! It certainly would make sense if that’s reason why she changed her bending form 🤔

The easiest way to tell the difference between Azula fire and lightning is the sounds of them

Zuko's faces in this episode show that Zuko realized that Katara's threat was real!

My headcannon is that the Southern raiders were actually hunting Hama, she was imprisoned for years then escaped and they knew where she was from... it was daytime when they attacked, they were looking for Hama and found Kia

10:14 "KAYA!" I just realized Katara and Sokka's mother's name was Kaya. Now I'm crying T^T

I really think this was an equal exchange for Katara and Zuko. The episode was about what Katara learned and moved through, but this is also where Zuko realizes there's some really terrifying power out there that isn't firebending. He realized in those moments with Katara that her ethics are the guard against the evil that kind of power could enable.

You should do a Kyoshi novel video. Not enough people talk about them. For all the people that say they want more Kyoshi, these are IT!! 🔥🔥

People always talk about Zutara, but I think the alt ship that makes more sense is Zuki. For a while, the comics were hinting at Zuko and Suki being together. She and the Kyoshi warriors become his personal guard and they spend a lot of time together. Meanwhile, Suki and Sokka met and trained together for one day, became a couple on their very next meeting, then Suki had a lot of moments where she just seemed annoyed at Sokka's antics.

The conventional cliche here is to see the villain surrounded by children who would be scared by the avengers. Amusingly enough this version shows that even veteran officers of Fire navy still don’t really benefit from current state of affairs.

Black nation

Let's take a second to realise the fact that Katara saw her mother's BURNED CORPSE. When she says earlier in the series 'my mother passed this necklace down to me' what she really means is that she took the necklace off her corpse. No wonder she was never able to process that trauma.

I really liked that Zuko let Katara come to her own decision on whether or not to kill her mother's murderer, unlike Aang who wouldn't stop lecturing her from atop his 50 foot high horse.

CABLE MANAGEMENTE, NOW! 🥲
