[@teamblack204]

I love how insanely strong Azula is in The Smoke and Shadow after she restored her mental health. She fought both Suki and Ty Lee without bending, learned how to redirect lightning on her own, and took down Zuko on their last fight. She's awesome!

[@extrovertedintrovert2900]

I wouldn't quite say... restored. Is she no longer hallucinating? Yes. Does she still have some serious mental health problems due to her awful childhood? Absolutely.

@@teamblack204 interesting plotline for sure, but never followed up upon. I was watching a KZbinr airspeed prime. In 2017 he was sure there is going to be a post smoke and shadow comic. 6 years later nothing. The point is it is hard to see this as interesting if not expanded upon and left up in the air without any conclusion.....

[@minhalhassan6151]

@@AndalusianPhilosopher Bright side is there's an Azula Comic announced to be releasing next year revolving around the Spirit World - she has her Kemurikage fit on the cover, so it's guaranteed to either explain what happened between the Search and S&S, or what happens right after S&S. Plus there's a Gaang and a Zuko movie confirmed to be coming out around 2025 or so, meaning we'll get a _LOT_ more on Azula's fate for sure within this decade.

[@TheDeathmail]

I love how they actually are showing off Azula's raw talent... Unlike Ozai who is only skilled in combat, she has the pure bending ability of her Uncle and the fighting talent of her father... (though we don't know if it's actually a difference in talent or just the difference in their philosophy).

[@LeonColvet]

Her ancestor is an avatar as well so, Indeed, a prodigy

[@xen3588]

yet they still made her lose to katara every time 💀

[@olanrewajumichael4039]

She only lost to Katara in a real fight once in Basingse. We can't even ascertain she'd have lost completely because zuko interfered.

[@aakashdas1742]

Well, in all honesty, Katara is in water-bending what Azula is in fire-bending. They're both extremely talented prodigies. No bending discipline is as such superior over the other, purely depends on talent and execution. And please don't mistake katara's caring attitude as weakness; she's more vicious in her bending than her master.

[@crimansizers5840]

Thats what you get when you mix the blood of the Avatar with an extremely powerful fire lord.

[@rolegaal899]

So did Zuko. Besides isn't that the point of a redemption arc.

[@trivonnereid8877]

just like the joker wanted to prove that deep down everyone's like him in the dark knight

[@topnotchshinobi]

Zuko still maintains an overall heroic reputation/legacy by the time of LoK, but Smoke and Shadow is definitely indicating that Zuko’s reign will definitely be more complicated/challenging than (initially) imagined.

[@user-pf8gk8oj8i]

And most of all, as Azula herself... 💙

[@bigdaddyplaton6684]

It’s strange that Zuko is finally rehabilitated as fire lord and has all the resources of the fire nation nation but they are still fighting just as teenagers like team avatar before.

[@EmptyMan000]

Zuko's too much of an individualist to play the chessmaster with resources. He likes to get down and dirty, which makes him very vulnerable when it comes to dealing with threats.

[@shivangparikh2933]

​@@shivangparikh2933why ruined?

[@shivangparikh2933]

@@djw_tekken8490 Smoke and Shadow and the search were a disaster. Ursa was originally born in the nobility according to the creators and her marriage to Ozai wasn't totally unhappy. The whole point of the marriage between Ursa and Ozai makes no sense since Iroh was the crown prince. Then they introduce Kiyi as Ursa perfect daughter which adds further insult to Azula since Ursa completely neglected Azula and now has new daughter

[@shivangparikh2933]

​@@djw_tekken8490 Don't you agree?

[@jayjaybulldog9180]

I KNEW Azula had something to do with kidnapping mai’s little brother, this is why she always one step ahead. She’s like Nations MOST wanted 😅This is why ever since their father lord ozai was locked up, Azula would still manage to have unfinished business with his brother to take back what she thinks was rightfully hers. This could now set a new chapter of what it is to come for zuko and the fire nation.

[@topnotchshinobi]

Now THIS is the iconic Azula I remember and admire: an amalgamation of ego, terror, and political intrigue/manipulation/deception. Glad to see that the comics narrative have returned Azula to her roots!

[@-Alpeter]

Hopefully she can fix her mind.

[@margarethmichelina5146]

Honestly, Mai's brother always get kidnapped a lot. Remember how in the original show he got lost because of how he saw Momo on the window and caused chaos on that episode? Also, that is the same episode of Azula vs Aang in Omashu along with Katara and Sokka vs Mai and Ty Lee.

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Azula is like that 1% of crime.

[@SupSucka]

Azula is a overpowered powerhouse and easily my favorite firebender then second my Boy Zuko. Both my favorites. 🔥🔥🔥

[@topnotchshinobi]

Azula is certainly powerful, but I think I remember her more for her talent at manipulating people/politics, along with her other talent for inspiring fear/terror (amongst friend and foe alike).

[@mohabalserafe3795]

@@topnotchshinobi that's actually what she really was before her last fight against katara and zuko leading her to a mental breakdown

[@ivanbluecool]

The comics are so great. I wish they were animated as a new season as the lore and story were just incredible to read as well as the political aspects of how zuko had to rule in a "peace" time after war

[@minhalhassan6151]

For those who've been bummed we haven't got more on Azula since Smoke & Shadows, don't fret: 1 - There's an Azula Comic announced to be releasing next year revolving around the Spirit World - she has her Kemurikage fit on the cover, so it's guaranteed to either explain what happened between the Search and S&S, or what happens right after S&S. 2- There's a Gaang and a Zuko movie confirmed to be coming out around 2025 or so, which is certain to mention if not blatantly show Azula's eventual fate. All in all, we'll get a LOT more on Azula's fate for sure within this decade.

[@froilanflorentino1252]

Source, I don't want to get my hopes up.

[@RahulJoshi-pz8yp]

Iirc the Azula comic was announced in the San Diego ComicCon. A leaked panel reveals that its based after S&S. The show I'm not too sure but there were general leaks around the standalone Zuko film by Avatar Studios.

[@AndalusianPhilosopher]

The comic will definitely give us a hint as to how she goes forward. And it is possible that the movie will feature Azula in some way. But as to Azulas final fate, it would take a lot more. Since the upcoming movie will be set when team avatar are young adults, we still have at least 50 years before events of Korra.

[@topnotchshinobi]

It would be boring if Azula mirrored Ozai’s fate of forever being imprisoned, so perhaps a more roundabout form of redemption (in the grander scheme of things) might be called for.

[@mohabalserafe3795]

Poor Azula is doomed to fail. In TLOK, Zuko is succeeded as the Firelord by his daughter Izumi.

[@AndalusianPhilosopher]

Not necessarily. There is a possibility rltgat she could see error of her ways and find healing. After all smoke and shadow takes places 2 years after the show. We still have 70 years before events of Korra. When it comes to Azula much of it is unwritten. It is long period of time and who know perhaps Zuko along with Ursa might get through to her. I read great fanfics where it Azula found happiness and healing. The ball is in Brian and Mike court now.

I don’t know what exactly is gonna happen to Azula and her group cause I don’t read the comics, but I have a feeling she’ll end up in "The Fog of Lost Souls". It seems fitting, she can’t hurt anyone there and she’ll be trapped in her own mind. As for how she would even get there, well she and her group are impersonating spirits to commit crimes, something tells me they’ll regret that later on.

I was really hoping that Zuko would be a better fire bender to at least give Azula a challenge

[@topnotchshinobi]

Considering that TLA’s post-war era has been (mostly) peaceful, it’s not too surprising to me that Zuko’s skills may have become somewhat rusty over the years. Plus, as Fire Lord, Zuko is probably bogged down with tons of political responsibilities (that take away from his training time).

[@eoghanjones9042]

⁠@@topnotchshinobiplus look at sumos expression most the time he’s not necessarily trying all that much when he w aged to fight azula before he’s taunting her and stuff but this time he doesn’t want to fight he’s telling her to back away and when they do clash they’re still even as Zuko intercepts azula from a long range she’s greater at kahyxla combat whixh is how she actually beat him
