Avatar: The Last Airbender 3x19 REACTION!! "Sozin's Comet, Part 2: The Old Masters"

[@theanafront3746]

The Iroh and Zuko scene honest to God had me in tears. To think that Zuko was probably expecting a repeat of events like with his father when asking forgiveness, and Iroh does what any REAL father would do, just sweeps him up in a hug simply because he loves him unconditionally and there's nothing in the world that could ever change that. Basco's voice acting is effing PERFECT, I CAN'T, aaaarrghhh

[@imaaduddin7715]

Yeah! I think why Zuko was so hesitant to go in was because he thought Iroh was going to treat him like Ozai, he seriously needed a talk from Katara just to go in, and Iroh forgives Zuko immediately, Zuko was shocked and he was not expecting this really, he was expecting something similar to how Ozai treated him, Iroh is indeed Zuko's true father.

[@10yearslater_]

God, I was tearing up on that scene, and reading your comment about how Zuko was expecting that because his father made me tear up again lol. I love this episode so much

[@TheHaloDudes]

the show writers actually commented on how aang's scent couldnt be tracked: "Q: When Aang was on the "mysterious island", Nyla could not locate him, and June concluded he wasn't dead but that he didn't exist. That was a head-scratcher! Can you describe how existence on that "island" was different from either reality or the Spirit World? Mike: The answer is actually pretty simple. The lion-turtle exists in the reality of the Avatar World, not the Spirit World. But the lion-turtle is thousands of years old, so his ancient, powerful odor masks the scent of anyone on his back. And that's why Nyla couldn't smell Aang. Bryan: Yeah, the lion-turtle's scent is so ancient and pervasive that Nyla just perceives it as the smell of the earth itself."

I loved how "The Old Masters" referred to both the White Lotus and the past four Avatars. Getting to see more Avatars past Kyoshi was really nice! I also really like Yangchen and her advice. She understands where Aang's coming from, but she also understands the duties and responsibilities that comes with being the Avatar. When it comes to matters of your own needs versus that of the world's, she'll put the world before herself. While watching your reaction to the Iroh/Zuko reunion, I didn't notice I was tearing up until I touched my face. God, that scene gets me every time! Here's Iroh, being a true father to Zuko than Ozai ever was. Zuko was probably expecting no forgiveness like how Ozai treated him, but instead he got a hug and forgiveness! And yeah, I always saw it as the Lion Turtle's scent masking Aang's scent. Aside from holding the library up, Toph also flattened the entire Earth Kingdom palace staircase during "The Earth King". At this point, I think Bumi is slightly more powerful than Toph but Toph definitely has the potential to be even more powerful. She's a kid now and she's already this powerful, so can you imagine her in her prime?? That Fire Nation guard that's voiced by Serena Williams is Ming :)

[@bdoyl31]

Correct about the scent, I believe it was confirmed that the Lion Turtle had picked up all the scents in the world over millions of years. Also the Old Masters refers to the Lion Turtles as well.

And if you follow the comics each graphic novel centers around each of the avatars that advice if you think hard about it

[@shineinouzen7412]

"The Lion Turtle fits within the theme of a World Turtle, which is particularly evident in Chinese and indigenous American mythology and culture. Lion Turtles have great cultural importance in the Avatar World and are referenced several times throughout the series. •A painting of a Lion Turtle was depicted in a scroll inside Wan Shi Tong's Library. •Piandao compared Sokka's courage and heart to those of a Lion Turtle. •Piandao's manor boasted many Lion Turtle furnishings. •Admiral Chan's home in Ember Island had a Lion Turtle door knocker. •General Fong and General Sung both had pauldrons representing the head of a Lion Turtle, as did one of Aang's battle "options". •Aang and Sokka hid behind a Lion Turtle statue outside the Earth Kingdom Royal Palace while devising a plan to meet Earth King Kuei." -Avatar Wiki

[@thomasbirt4725]

When I rewatch this episode the the bit that threatens to get me misty-eyed even more than Zuko reuniting with Iroh is the small moment of Iroh identifying Zuko as someone with "unquestionable honor." As we head into the finale proper, having the wisest character on the show basically declare that Zuko's difficult journey as a character is over is just unbelievably cathartic.

[@Ash-ep1nz]

Avatar Kyoshi should have a series of her own and it should be strictly Rated R. Considering her incredible feats, she might be the best earth bender ever.

yep she is a beast and a fully realized avatar. And the fact that she came before Aang and lived for about 230 years would makes it even more interesting.

Aaron is a psychic. It's finally revealed. (Seriously though, when he shouted "TURTLE" and Calvin's face while he was going on about that. Amazing.) I teared up at the renunion too. This episode is a lot of build-up, though that doesn't mean it isn't awesome! Seeing the white lotus, Aang's talk with his past lives and the lion turtle are such cool moments. And FINALLY the renunion between Zuko and Iroh. Aang's debate on where you draw the line between your own 'spiritual needs' and the fate of the world is interesting. Aang would probably have been taught by the monks that to achieve spiritual completion (or whatever term you use), and be part of everything, you shouldn't take another life. And he's only 12. Being the Avatar at that age gives you an impossibly huge responsibility. They mentioned previously that it was tradition to not tell the Avatar who they were until they turned 16. They told Aang earlier because of the war, which he wasn't ready to handle. And now he has to be. It's heavy, and I love it. And the lion turtle has such a cool design. it has been appearing in artwork, statues and sayings in the show for quite some time, but it's hard to notice if you don't know what you're looking for. Can't wait for the next two episodes, even though I can't believe it's nearly over. :'(

This show made me tear up a lot, but it made me straight up cry twice, the first time was when Iroh sings "Leaves From The Vine" in the "Tales of Ba Sing Se" episode and the second time is here when Zuko and Iroh finally reunite, also how he tells Zuko that he should be the next Fire Lord because he has "unquestionable honor" just got me in my feels man. 😭 Did anyone else find it weird that just a couple episodes ago, Iroh was all big, muscular and looked like a body builder/wrestler, but now he's back in his old body frame almost? I just found that weird, I doubt you can gain weight that fast when you looked like the The Rock just a couple days before. As for Toph vs. Bumi, I think Bumi is stronger and more experienced right now, but I definitely think Toph surpasses him in a couple of years, Toph has her own unique style of Earth Bending and she can also metal bend, and even as a 12 year old kid she's so powerful, imagine how strong she will be in a few years!

Apparently Avatar Yangchen, the female air nomad avatar, was actually one of those "wrath of the patient person" sort of people. She was so fiercely devoted to preserving balance that she did whatever was required to maintain it.

The lion turtle is one of the most ancient and well respected creatures in the avatar universe. Their kind is older than the avatar cycle. They are also very wise. Plus, it teaches Aang something phenomenal. Another thing about the Sheersho, June's mole monster, it says in the Bato of the Water tribe episode that it can smell a water rat a continent away. So yes it can smell something around the world. And with Koh, the face stealer, it has been implied that ordinary people have gone into the spirit world.

[@302big5]

Basically the reason the animal could not smell is because the lion turtles scent was masking him because it was so big. Put is as someone hair has its own odor and if a bug were to get stuck in there it would not be able to tell if the person is there. We saw this in the one episode when they knocked over the scents and the mole hit everyone because it could not really tell who was who. (Sorry about my grammar if it's wrong)

[@OmarOsrb]

@BlindWave The turtle as the avatar is a bridge to the spiritual world, the turtle called him, when Aang was there he was in the middle of the spiritual and human world, so that's why they couldn't find him.

[@LaserEyedKoala7]

Nyla the mole couldn't find Aang because the turtle had travelled throughout the world and accumulated countless smells, making it impossible to discern Aang's smell. This just masked Aang's smell.

[@houseofaction]

no its just that the lion turtle's smell is larger than his

[@fragezeichenwenn]

LaserEyedKoala7 I think it's not within the range as well. The first time the mole was used to find Katara they all were in Earth Territory, so less than 1000 miles away. Just as it becomes hard to discern two red cars the farther away they are, it gets harder to discern certain smells the farther away they are. Blindwave has good points as well, just another point to consider.

[@TheAngryXenite]

? ven June said that her Shirshu could smell a person basically anywhere. I don't think range matters. I think it's just that either the scent of the Lion Turtle was so strong that it overpowered Aang, or that it is so alien (on account of being the equivalent of a god) that Aang basically enters a pocket dimension.

[@SmoovyNovaFan]

It could just be that the turtle is a spiritual creature of sorts, so Aang being on its back would mean that Aang was shrouded and as if he was in the spirit world. That could be one reason as for why the tracker thingy couldn't find him. Another reason could be that the Lion Turtle's smell is just so powerful and overwhelming that it completely masked Aang.

[@jamesbalch1325]

Fire bending comes from passion. The fire nation perverted it into a rage fulled weapon, but fire bending doesn't need to be fueled by negative emotion. As long as the emotions that fuel your fire are strong, your bending is strong. True, rage, and anger are easier to generate strong emotions from, but positive emotions can fuel fire bending just as well.

Lion Turtle: "The answer to life, the universe and everything... is 42". Aang: "What?!" Lion Turtle: "...What?" Lion Turtle: "Listen kid, you just need to channel your inner Shia Labeouf and "Just do it"."

[@trentsims]

Toph vs Bumi is a thing in one of the official comics. Also if you want a good example of Toph doing some crazy stuff, go back to the episode where the Gaang storm the Earth Palace. Toph collapses the Palace steps, assuming their not hollow underneath that is an insane amount of earth being moved all at once.

[@aravitz857]

the official reason is that the turtles back has such a strong smell of earth that it hid aang from even the mole

[@j.ackermann9110]

Or the turtle is a spirit (or some other ancient thing) and Aang is in the spirit world...

[@RedDragonForce2]

@11:45 The Lion Turtle was of the Spirit World, able to freely pass into the real world after they had split, because People once were in harmony with spirits (not a spoiler). Because he didn't 'exist' of the real world, his presence blocked all scents within a certain range around him. This allowed a counterpoint to the shirshu.

[@arturo435]

Toph is more talented and skilled due to the way she learned earthbending. Bumi is also talented, but he doed not see eartbending as natural as Toph(because he didn't learn it as such a vital skill) Although, Bumi has over 100 years of experience over Toph, which is pretty hard to top. I'd say that if they fought blindfolded, it wouldn't even be a match, Toph would wipe the floor. Normal conditions, maybe Bumi has a slight edge.

[@ashimpoudel9656]

Arturo Aldana in the comics they have fought each other and it was a draw

[@arturo435]

AGuitaringRancor To be fair, Bumi wasn't pushing himself as a kid as hard as Toph was. We have no idea when he rose to the throne of Omashu but we should assume he was a grown up, Toph had been fighting since she was a kid in many ways. Anyway, I think they are both extremely powerful earthbenders, but they are each unique in their own way.

[@upwiggins]

basically it couldn't smell the lion turtle because it's one of those spirits who chose to live in the real world so it still has Supernatural probabilities so it kind of makes sense why a animal who was born in this world when you be able to smell it

[@LukaBlight69]

....Someone hug Calvin! Quick! Also, who infested the comments section with onions!?

[@GoProxi]

6:05 Gotta love Calvin's reaction

[@KoishNoish]

I'm sorry but Zuko is just the best fucking character. That's a fucking story ark done to perfection, absolute fucking perfection. I didn't watch this show when I was young because I thought it was stupid but I watched it in my teens and it's one of my favourite shows ever, easily, and one of the reasons it is is because of Zuko. Every character in this is so perfectly portrayed and complex but Zuko, for me, goes through so much hardship, so much shit, so much inamiginable conflict, and he comes out the other end with his head held high. Fuck yes Zuko, hell fucking yes.

[@Jos_city]

Ive seen every atla reaction you guys have done and you guys are my FAVORITE KZbin channel hands down. So intelligent, clever and observant to every show from avatar to Star Wars to anime. You guys need a BILLION subscribers bc i guarantee the amount of fans of the shows you guys review and TALK about deserves the WORLDS attention. I wish I could join your guys show one days because even though I dont know you guys i feel like you’re my best friends. I will always come to this channel for comfort and second hand reaction to the shows i watch. Love you guys. Eric, SHANE, calvin, aaron and Rick.

[@freeman2]

Look at Shane's teary eyed face haha daww 9:00

[@melo13melo]

The zuko and iroh scene is the best moment in the series. I was waiting since series one for this episode. Also, I think the lion turtle is a spiritual entity that exists outside of the mortal world, which is why she said Aang didn't exist. It can probably travel between the mortal and spirit world whenever it wants. If the lion turtle did exist in the mortal world more people would see it. You can't really miss a giant moving island.

[@SeventyCoins]

From what I know, spirits and creatures can cross between worlds by two means. Spiritual meditation or _spoiler_ . Between Bumi and toph, I believe Bumi has the upper hand. The time Bumi fought Aang, he said he was the strongest earthbender he'll ever meet and he wasn't joking. Bumi is a creative thinker and an experienced king, if they were to fight, Bumi could easily see toph is blind. He can come to the conclusion she can only see via vibration in the ground. To win, Bumi could cause a mini earthquake that would mess up toph's senses while masking himself to move freely, then strike whenever he pleases. Sure Toph could try to shield herself to protect her if she can't see where to fight, but as Bumi demonstrated, his rocks tear metal.

[@rjdavis3573]

Bumi singlehandedly recaptured an entire city in 8 minutes

[@d3stroyx69]

Please watch The Legend of Korra. I know it got a lot of hate but I swear it's good in its own right. 😁

[@hayscollins5867]

I swear that aang and yangchen talk brings me chills everytime. It’s so good seeing how conflicted he was

[@cichy45]

Bumi and Toph had a duel in a comic and it was a draw.

[@georgerobins4110]

Aaaahhh the Zuko Iroh scene makes me cry every time

[@theonlykingA]

Lion turtle's are explained further in the Legend of Korra and that's all I'm saying.

[@Mayhemm007]

Lion-turtles have their own spirit-y limbo going on. Remember, it was able to "summon" Aang to it and put him in a kind of trance, like when he was staring at Roku's statue way back in 1x03. Iroh's parting words at 8:54 always get me. There's a real sense of finality to them.

[@theotianyarttar9230]

I think Bumi is more powerful for now. Toph is just 12 she will pass him in no time.

[@HiddenWindshield]

Nickelodeon's "Avatar: The Lost Adventures" comic actually contains an earthbending battle between Toph and Bumi, to settle which one is the strongest. The winner turns out to be [spoiler redacted].

[@kaledov]

The lion turtle was referenced in the library episode that was the last one though.

[@everbeltran8417]

Nope, that was the first time it was mentioned, they mention it for the last time in the "Sokka's Master" episode. :p

[@jdouat7536]

I'm still crying even after a decade later :)

[@gattormartin4243]

LET'S GOOOO!!!!

[@MrWhatdafuBOOM]

Aang's scent couldn't be picked up because it was completely covered by that of the Lion Turtle. It's like trying to smell a flea on a person.

[@omanisat7266]

"I knew I shouldn't have asked femShep." Gonna be a long wait to Friday.

[@optimuscobb]

Dylan L these guys are lame. lol why wait till Friday the show has been out for years.

[@TheAngryXenite]

Cody Cobb They use schedules because A) they still have to record, edit, and render these videos, and for many other series as well, and B) it helps their income to space it out. It builds hype, avoids people getting bogged down in many videos, and lets them draw out a series, thereby extending the amount of time they can release content for it.

[@KiraAotsuki]

aw man knowing what happens in the next two episodes is gonna make waiting between those two ROUGH

[@LordRaven222]

Umm I don't know if anyone else talk about this before me but there is a avatar comic called The Greatest Earth Bender in the World who works that question out Blind Wave

[@tomascarvalho7514]

The lion turtle, honorably referred to as Ancient One by the spirits, is the largest known animal in the world. In the era of Raava (the spirit light and peace who fused with Wan, to become the first Avatar), lion turtles populated the Spirit Wilds, where they served as protectors of mankind by housing human cities on their backs. As indicated by the symbols on their foreheads, each individual lion turtle showed an affinity for one of the four elements and possessed the ability to grant individuals the power to control said element through energybending. Lion turtles were hunted to near extinction over the thousands of years following the start of the Avatar Cycle until only one remained. In order to protect himself from being hunted, the last remaining lion turtle opted to travel the world, away from human civilizations. Having developed a lush forest on its back over the course of its lifetime, the lion turtle avoided human contact by appearing as an island until he encountered Aang on the shores of Ember Island in 100 AG.

[@Chemeleon15]

please don't put Korra spoilers on an AtLA video!

[@martijnalblas1761]

im gonna say one thing, the end will be stunning (;

[@DPObseser]

No matter how many times I see the reconciliation/reuninon scene of Zuko and Iron, I will always cry. It's so happy and beautiful. I'm glad I'm not the only one :,)
