The second best one

[@robertmckenna3994]

Aang:”I don’t normally play this card, but I’m the Avatar.” Who does he think he’s kidding? The whole of the first and second seasons was him saying I’m the Avatar and getting free stuff.

[@Jeremy_theGent]

Books 1 and 2: Do you know who I am?! Book 3: I can't let anyone know who I am.

[@CanisMythson]

I mean, it's entirely possible that the ones we see in episodes are outliers, and in the day to day, he actually did prefer not to play that card. I doubt the episodes we see are the entirety of their journey, just the more adventurous highlights.

[@windygrass9807]

I mean, it's true. It's not often that he intentionally use it to get somekind of privilege like that.

[@loot5532]

This is my favorite episode of Avatar. Zuko's quiet "I understand" makes me tear up with joy every time

[@Shintareth]

Yes!

[@Shinoobie]

Same T-T

[@eshw23]

The "Fire is life, not just destruction" line was my favorite

[@KevinAppiah-p1j]

"Zuko Alone" is my favourite episode of Avatar The Last Airbender.

[@ryanakers1372]

So this episode makes the second episode of Book 3 even more tragic. Knowing that dancing is banned and then finding out that the oldest firebending form is called The Dancing Dragon, is heartbreaking to see how much the Fire Nation is destroying their own culture in addition to the damage they are doing to the world.

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

Yet the Fire Nation allows gambling, juggling, plays, circuses, magic shows, puppet shows, firework shows, music and festivals. Banning dancing but none of that other stuff is bad world building.

[@hectoruco3073]

​​@@TheMrPeteChannelactually it doesn't. They don't banned all the forms of recreation and fun, just dancing cause it was a reminder of their past, of the true nature of firebending,not the rage and search of power that since Sozin they were doing.I think possibly Azulon(Zuko's grandfather) wasn't well judged by the masters or think as Zuko at the begining, that the dance was stupid, therefore he banned dancing and started hunting the dragons.

[@j0hn00]

​@@TheMrPeteChannelit's never stated that dancing is banned completely, it's only banned in school. While that's strict, it doesn't break the worldbuilding to think a strict school would say no dancing

[@JesseShadows37]

The way they make you think that Iroh actually did something bad, but then to find out that he’s an even better person than we all thought he was is great.

[@unclebobboomergames]

And in a way where you almost insult yourself. "Of course iroh didnt kill the last dragons. How dumb could i be to doubt it?

[@sseidov212]

But he actually did something bad, before his son died he was a terrifying fire nation general. In episode Zuko alone he send the letter to zuko where he says something like: you can also some day visit Ba Sing Se if we wont burn it to the ground. That little detail show us that in his past he was just like his father (not like Ozai, Azulon and Airo both loved their children (at least Azulon loved Airo))

[@whyit6158]

Really cool detail about this episode is that the key to unlocking the secret of Firebending was a dance. Remember earlier in season 3? No one in the Fire Nation knows how to dance, and actively tries to stop it from happening. Kind of poetic.

[@rezoannur2333]

I think they're the 1st reactors to comment on Zuko and Aang's older brother / little brother relationship. I feel like Zuko never felt like an older brother to Azula because she was generally better than him both academically and physically. The last time Zuko felt like that was when he was bonding with Lee in "Zuko Alone" as he got to teach something to someone else. Now Aang and Zuko got to learn something together.

[@pabloc8808]

It's also the first time in years Zuko doesn't get judged for being good and caring. The last person who accepted and encouraged his good nature was his mother. Iroh tried to make him embrace that side of himself again, but Zuko refused because he was still a victim of his father's abuse. Now he gets to be who he is.

[@scotiej]

When I first saw the scene with the firebending masters, I wept too. I wrestled with anger for a long time and seeing how there was a different way to live just broke me down. Amazing how one can find that sort of thing in a cartoon.

[@pabloc8808]

"I understand". So simple, yet so powerful. Seeing the good and the beauty of the world, and understanding we can be better in order to add to it.

[@benmavinn1666]

We relate well in angst

[@videohistory722]

This episode isn't just about teaching Aang firebending, it's also about re-teaching Zuko. Aang needs to embrace his firebending., and Zuko needs to understand that firebending isn't rage.

[@mauricioramirez5948]

I think it also shows the viewer that firebending isn't bad. For so long, it's been shown to be bad.

[@xuvial1391]

It also answers why Iroh wasn't able to pass on any sun warrior knowledge/techniques onto Zuko. The only way to learn that as a source was to directly meet a dragon, be deemed worthy, and be granted the secret "visions" of true firebending. The knowledge cannot be passed down or taught to others.

[@timkruse9912]

shows how great the writing is in avatar is, how how aang and zuko two sides of the same coin,

[@windygrass9807]

If there was no Katara, I would ship Aang and Zuko.

[@nathanielreik6617]

This proves that Jeong Jeong was the wrong master for Aang. He taught Aang important lessons about discipline and patience but he was always talking about how fire only brings destruction and pain (likely due to his own experiences being a high ranking member of the Fire Nation military). The Sun Warriors showed Aang that fire can also bring life. Just imagine if we didn't have fire. Humanity would never have progressed and we'd still be eating raw food and sleeping in caves and fearful of the night and darkness.

[@curtiszyr]

It’s a bit unfair to blame aangs inability to focus and listen on jeong jeong. He was the right teacher to teach aang he is right about fire being destruction and uncontrollable aang goofy ass just wasn’t READY!

[@famedset1162]

Nice catch on the music, there’s a yt video talking about how that whole time, that song was a light motif to Aang and Zuko’s relationship, so the fact that you said “I’m gonna think about this scene everytime” was spot on

[@calebguiler6910]

A cool detail is from this point forward Zuko no longer grunts when fire-bending as his new source of fire comes from a place other than rage and hate

[@slitheringserpent4433]

If you guys pay attention to the way Zuko used to fire bend to the way he is now, he used to make all these grunts (anger) when fighting, now he changed it starting this episode that he doesn't grunt when fire bending. This shows that he changed his ways of fighting with fire to understanding it.

[@Gabeghouls]

Which also ties in to the very beginning of the show- when Iron tells him that fire-bending comes from the breath, not muscles.

[@ravenblack3474]

Iroh is such an amazing character, even when he's not on screen he's making the story move forward.

[@unclebobboomergames]

Seeing aang smile when he firebended for the first time chokes me up. It made him hesitate for so long. So to see firebending make him happy as opposed to frightened

[@Yugiohfans11]

8:22 In other words Aang needs to stop being timid about fire bending whereas Zuko needs to accept that fire bending isn't about rage.

[@videohistory722]

Many believe that this is where Iroh learned how to breathe fire.

[@b_g_c3281]

That makes Sense. Since it's stated that Fire [[ rather, the core concept and driving philosophy making Firebending happen ]] is in truth life and energy, logically that would directly tie into Chi and Chi is "anchored" or manifest in the breath....

[@devinfleenor3188]

and where he got his nickname, "The Dragon of the West"

[@peytonalexander5300]

For the record, both Ozai and Azula have been shown to be able to breathe fire as well. Ozai does it during his final struggle against Aang just before his bending is taken away, and Azula does it after Katara defeats her and she has her manic episode. Seeing as both of these instances occur during Sozin’s Comet, it’s likely that firebreathing is a technique that non-Sun Warrior style firebenders simply are not able to perform under normal circumstances. After all, Azula literally didn’t even know it was possible when she faced Iroh in Ba Sing Se. If that is indeed the case, it would mean that Iroh, Zuko and Aang are the only living people (aside from the Sun Warriors) who are capable of breathing fire outside of the influence of Sozin’s Comet.

[@Alvaro89Rus]

fire breathing is not rare of difficult tecnic for fire bender, Iron got his nick name for military sucess

[@juanramos4322]

If you noticed, Zuko's fire changes color slightly throughout the series. From reddish flames to almost a red/black combination when he loses sight of himself. Eventually turning into a golden hued fire. Azula was a prodigy skating by on simply being talented. Zuko on the other hand is literally forged in fire and comes out free from the impurities of his family. His honor restored and his hopes rekindled. It is wonderful to see that message in a kids show. Its a lesson that is timeless. You are not your parents. You are not beholden to any path save your own. You, and you alone, are in control of your destiny. When you are lost, return to your roots and seek a path worthy of you. No one can give that which should be earned. Embrace the pain, you will rise all the stronger for it.

[@waldoman7]

You know it's funny that, on paper, Toph is a Mary Sue. Multiple crazy OP powers, arrogant/unstoppable personality, child prodigy, and less development than any other team avatar character. But you will NEVER get that feeling while watching.

[@InsightfulZen]

Something that I never see commented on is that from this point forward, the sound of Zuko's fire is now this more crisp and sharp whooshing fire blast over the typical, more dulled fire whooshing sounds the show uses for firebending. Zuko also gains a big boost in raw power with his firebending which is just fuckin sweet. This is such a nice compact level up for both characters and it gets reflected in such a subtle use of great sound design that I love.

[@freelove3482]

what i love about this show is in this episode in specific the drawing department didn't recicle the shots. they drew different angles for the dragons and you notice everything is hand drawn when the perspective moves. great reaction.

[@Drforrester31]

I just noticed that the colorful dragon fire doesn't really have any blue in it, which is the color of fire Azula produces

[@dontbanmerage416]

@@AdriannaDaFox98 That was easily the worst part of the show. Comes completely out of nowhere.

[@AdriannaDaFox98]

​@@Maibuwolf You mean the surprise twist or expositional moment at the climax of a story that writers have been using for years and years to add suspense and gravitas to the ending? Yeah, it's so overdone man... He should have just killed him and ended the story there.

[@DarthRenegade1]

Remember in the first season when iron was training zuko he says “no fire comes from the breath, not the muscle” so it shows you even in season 1 episode 1 or 2 (I forgot lol), he was taught by the dragons and is on another level compared to normal fire bender!

[@meganhutcheson5867]

Sokka was just teasing Zuko about the form and having fun with him trying to help making him feel more welcome with the group.

[@S.Johannesson]

Iroh is always portrayed as a good guy but he has a very dark past as a general. The 600-day siege of Ba Sing Se is the most known one. I would love a short series about his redemption arc. Zuko's & Iroh's stories are very similar. Both are much kinder & sympathetic compared to the rest of their family. The difference is that Zuko's setback in life came when he was just a child, with no life experience. Iroh was older & wiser when his life fell apart. I think it would be interesting to see how Iroh's life experience helped him find his way to the person he's in Avatar: the last airbender.

[@aminotv713]

Iroh was a true Prince zo his father. Never as worse as Ozai but he did what was expected from him and thought it was right. Until his son died and he realized the horros of war. He then dissapeard for a whole year. Searching for an entrance to the ghost world to reunite with his son. He travelled around the world. Visited all nations. During that time he learned what Zuko learned. The lies of the fire Nation and how wrong the war is. He also connected with the spiritworld but couldnt find his son. I think thats why Iroh has so much hope for Zuko while he has no for Azula. He sees himself in him. He knows Zuko has a good heart. He is just misguided and lost. And thus, he never gave up on him.

[@Deined]

I agree that an Iroh's redemption arc story could be very interesting. I always, for example, there could be some good stories about Iroh being recruited for and joining the Order of the White Lotus. Could you _imagine_ the philosophical debates he and Jeong Jeong have likely had about firebending?

[@nathanielhollas8471]

"I understand." One of my favourite Zuko quotes

[@zevikan8638]

The outro theme playing during this episode represents the end of Aang and Zuko's series long arc as parallel but opposing characters in the show. This is the turning point in the show where they become true allies, and the conflict between them that was central to the story for so long is finally fully resolved.

[@Inv4drz]

Easily my favorite episode of Avatar. Love the origins of fire bending, the dragons, Zuko finding his purpose. Also the Ancient Sun Warriors. They take a lot of influence from Aztecs and Mayans (among others ancient culture's too) and myself, being Mexican, felt such a connection to them. Just ugh 😭 love this episode so much

[@GiveMeTheRice]

Sorry if this ruins if for anyone, but the shot of Aang and Zuko in being engulfed in the fire has Zuko’s scar on the wrong side of his face lmao

[@lindenir540]

About getting sad with the ending approaching, and getting attached - I (and I'm sure many others) felt super emotional when the "The End" card showed up in the finale with Avatar's Love playing. It felt like saying goodbye to childhood friends. Such an incredible show.

[@videohistory722]

This mountain was chosen for this ritual for a specific reason: It's the tallest mountain in the region, and therefore closest to the sun.

[@divinedragon88]

If these ladies have been crying/tearing...I cannot wait for the 2nd parter of Sozin's Comet. Nice video ladies.

[@Pandaemoni]

Spiritually speaking (though not in blood) Aang was Zuko's great-grandfather because Aang used to be Roku.

[@jabbah7115]

"I understand" Gives me goosebumps every time 🥲

[@Coolguy365es]

This is my favorite episode of the series, for so long the show has painted fire as a bad thing, but here it gives the true meaning of it. Also dragons!! But think about how the fire nation change because of Sozin! He wiped out the dragons and the air benders. I like a quote that line from captain America that’s says “people forget that the First Nation the Nazis invaded was Germany. Same thing here the fire nation lost so much from the war! They were lied to about history, they weren’t allowed to express them selves, they were polluting their own nation.

[@nateb188]

When I was a kid I loved this show, but didn’t watch it for yearssss. Then I saw it on Netflix and decided to give it a rewatch when I was like 16-17 and I loved it even more 😂😂 I had a better understanding of the philosophy and beauty of the world of Atla. This episode is one of my favorites because it really emphasized zuko and his character growth and it also showed how aang matured and was able to move past what he did to katara accidentally. Also the beautiful representation of the fire the dragons showed aang and zuko has so many meanings in my opinion. It shows how many different colors can all still live beautifully together just like the 4 nations and people all together. Fire is also not just something used to destroy, like zuko said fire can be destructive like it is, but it also can hold beauty just like everything in nature. Damn I typed a lot more than I thought 😂😂

[@charlessoliman3151]

[@meganhutcheson5867]

I love that whenever they were first fire bending and it didn’t work. It made a fart sound, and when they had fire presenting it to the masters and it went out and it still made the fart sound.

[@chazo1367]

Watch the way Zuko moves in the last scene after they get back. He no longer grunts of shouts when fire bending like he did back in the first 2 seasons.

[@ShinyAvalon]

"The Firebending Masters" is tied with "Bitter Work" for my favorite episode in the entire series. This one is often overshadowed by the upcoming (excellent) episodes, but the glimpse into bending philosophy, the incredible and beautiful climactic scenes, and (last, but not least) the comedy duo of Aang & Zuko (or, Mr. Sunshine and the Emo Kid, lol) make it unforgettable. :)

[@tofu_golem]

If you remember back to the first couple of episodes, Iroh was trying to teach Zuko this way of firebending instead of using anger like most of the Fire Nation does.

[@KAR5AVATARGT]

Remember what iroh said in the beginning firebending comes from the breath not the muscle

[@videohistory722]

Many ecosystems benefit from periodic fires, because they clear out dead organic material-and some plant and animal populations require the benefits fire brings to survive and reproduce. Wildfires are nature's way of regenerating the earth, allowing important nutrients to re-enter the soil, and creating new habitats for plants and animals to thrive.

[@Streaming_Music]

"What about this situation makes you think they want us to dance" One of my favorite lines of the series.

[@maggie4028]

The visuals in this episode are especially beautiful and I am obsessed with the Zuko and Aang dynamic! Loving your reactions!

[@patrickcromwell7554]

Yeah, Zuko telling us that Sozen was the one who STARTED hunting Dragons for glory is just sickening when you think about it. Not only was he essentially spitting in the face of Fire Bending origins, but he HIMSELF axctually HAD a Dragon companion. so chances are extremely HIGH that HIS first Dragon kill was cowardly. He likely killed his own Dragon in its sleep and claimed to have fought some epic glorious battle.

[@windygrass9807]

Seeing how emotional you guys by witnessing the master's teaching. I think you might try to firebend now.

[@19arthur89]

This is probably my favorite episode. Since the start of the series Fire bending has been so awesome but for the whole show it’s been used mostly by the bad guys to hurt innocent people. So for this episode to highlight it’s good qualities was so cool. Aang realizing it’s “little heartbeat” and Zuko’s line “I understand” always get me.

[@rafaelt1960]

I love the cute little moments where they just interact together and aang tries to get a piece of zukos fire in front of the masters haha it's just so cute and unexpected for the viewers in comparison to eeeverything we saw before

[@supremedream1764]

This explains why fire bending comes from the breath and never the muscle. It was how the dragons did it.

[@Short_Round1999]

The "Life-Changing Field Trip with Zuko" arc

[@NameOptional-p9u]

take a moment to think...what would the fire nation have been like if Iroh had assumed the throne like he was suppose to? He would have most likely had to deal with his brother, as Ozai would have still had aspirations for the throne, but I think Iroh would have been the very ruler the fire nation needed.

[@meganhutcheson5867]

With this son being alive, he was still very much into the fire nation propaganda that they were a great nation, spreading their good and all that baloney. He even said to jet that he had been to Ba Sing Si, but he had been a very different man when he had been.

[@NameOptional-p9u]

@@meganhutcheson5867, yeah don't get wrong. I know Iroh was a General and fought in the war...and obviously had come to "hunt dragons" but I think the day he came to kill the dragon is when he had his life change. Plus, I know Iroh was raised on the lies of the fire nation and the lies his grandfather and father passed down, but eventually Iroh would realize the lies...much like he did on his own. It was in his character already to be kind and to seek truth/wisdom. Like most young men....we are easily seduced by glory and "honor" and only seeing one side of a situation. It isn't until we are older, calmer, more mature, that we can see multiple viewpoints and realize that glory can be a fool's gold and "honor" can be subjective. None of us are the same person we were at 18/19 vs 38/40. Hopefully not at least lol.

[@videohistory722]

The Sun Warriors have seen many people face the dragons, but only a few of them have been deemed worthy.

It was very nice to see the dynamic between Aang and Zuko change right after this adventure as well seeing the origins of firebending, wasn't it? 😄 Also, I'm now in the habit of pointing out moments Zutara shippers love to cling to. Like, when Katara teased Zuko about losing his firebending power ("Maybe you're not as good as you think you are."), Zutarians actually saw it as possible sexual tension on Katara's side. 😁
