Day of Black Sun | AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER [3x10 & 3x11] (REACTION)

[@Carlinisalive]

I always loved how Azula and the Firelord used the exact same manipulation tactic to stall for time really shows how she got her personality from him

[@Finiverse92]

The fact that the fire lord didn't know that Zuko can redirect lightning just means he was seriously trying to kill his own son. 😢

[@thevoidbender]

I mean this same man literally branded/burned him at 13 for talking out of turn and was going to kill him as a kid because his dad said so to stay in his good graces. It’s not exactly surprising.

19:06 Toph knows Azula isn’t a 400 foot tall purple platypus bear Toph can sense when people are lying and Azula is such a good liar that to Tophs senses it felt like she was telling the truth.

[@AustinSamson1999]

Cody’s anger towards Azula is hilarious and honestly a testament to how good the writing is for her. She’s a SUPER effective villain and it can be annoying to be on the receiving end of it haha. That being said I think it’s REALLY important tho to remember that the only difference between book 1 Zuko and Azula as characters Is that 1: Azula is actually COMPETENT at her job making her easier to dislike. 2: Zuko had iroh guiding and helping him for literal YEARS on every step of the journey and even STILL at NO POINT was Zuko a WILLING participant in his own redemption up until now, and had to hit a MAJOR rock bottom before he came back around meanwhile Azula had NOBODY but Ozai to raise her. Let how awful that’d be for her REALLY sit in ur brain for a minute. And 3: that she’s a LITERAL CHILD. People forget she’s FOURTEEN, that Zuko is OLDER and is guilty of EVERY SINGLE crime Azula is as well from colonizing cities, to burning down villages to helping kill the avatar. If she’s an irideemable monster for doing these things than SO IS Zuko. It’s not so black and white as “Azula evil, Zuko good.” There’s SO MUCH NUANCE in both of their up upbringings and personalities 🤷🏻‍♂️ it’s honestly one of the best aspects of this show is TRULY showing how indoctrination and propaganda truly brainwash people. We KNOW what it took for Zuko to get here and it was NOT easy. Azula 100% deserves to be held accountable for her actions but if She doesn’t deserve sympathy or empathy like Zuko got becuase of her past action than neither does Zuko FULL STOP😤👏

[@JNDReacts]

SO MUCH THIS! I’ll never get people who want her dead more than they want Ozai dead. He literally made her that way, and she still has a decade before her brain is fully developed.

@@JNDReacts becuase woman are held to an IMPOSSIBLY higher standard than men are and GOD FORBID a woman ever be labeled a “bi**h” or piss fans off even just ONE TIME or they’ll forever be irredeemable and unlikeable. Katara is also a victims of this at times with this fandom🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ And Idk if ur familiar with Adventure Time at all but it’s one of my biggest gripes with the certain section of males in that fandom too cuz they CANT handle any nuance at all when it comes to Princess BubbleGum amd it’s a good comparison for here. and I say this as a 25 year old dude lmfao😭🙌 Azula is a CHILD who legit had NOBODY to love and support her, unlike Zuko which is ENTIRELY the reason he was able to change in the FIRST place. Like I’m not saying she SHOULDNT be held accountable but she 100% deserves HELP and LOVE and the fans who just think she’s PURE evil I Honestly believe they missed the ENTIRE point of what Zukos arc was saying about indoctrination and expectations🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Olochgu]

I love how this episode shows how alike Ozai and Azula are. They are both so good at digging down at peoples weaknesses to manipulate them.

[@An0nymous_L0gic]

oh nice I've never thought of that

[@Marfy_]

ozai being so fast with his lightning is a pretty big deal, when we saw azula and iroh do it it had to kind of build up but ozai seems to be able to sent it on an instant

[@embran8486]

Azula gets trained in lightning by the grannies (ironically not fire-benders, what´s up with that). We don´t know how long Ozai trained in lightning. Azula is called a prodigy just like her grandfather Azulon by Ozai himself in the flashback. That means that Azula is either better or as good as her father when an adult and by then also can instantaneously cast lightning. Still I think it has more to do with Ozai´s attack being agressive burst to the front. And as all burst is fast, but easier countered too. I also think the caster can´t redirect it properly, While a smaller focused strike like Azula´s and Iroh can still change direction.

[@project5877]

People forget or don't notice, but Iroh later this season says that if he dueled Ozai he isn't even sure he could win against him. Ozai is a true master of firebending

[@andreware2039]

His bloodlust and hatred towards Azula has hit a new level 😭

[@JNDReacts]

22:51 I’m pretty sure every reactor I’ve watched initially thinks Azula was lying when she said this to Zuko in the 2x07 flashback. Because “Azula always lies”…except for when she doesn’t. Everyone seems to take that line as gospel, like it’s a line the writers put in there to describe her character, but it isn’t. It’s just something Zuko tells himself to try and prevent her words from affecting him. But sometimes the truth suits her purposes just fine.

[@anthonydean1743]

Episode 11 really showed how powerful Ozai is. Ozai was the first to sence their fire bending returned & went straight to lightning before Azula did.

[@dcharith]

And that too with the power of fraction of the sun!

I was so proud of Zuko in this scene, he stood up to his abuser and made Ozai know that was he was doing and has done all his life is wrong. He told him he wouldn't take his abuse anymore and that he was even going to help stop his reign of terror over everyone he's affected. And he did that on the moment his dad was wasn’t the most powerful, otherwise he would have likely attacked from the first moment rather than be confronted.

[@FreshZCORD]

I love and am so proud of Zuko of everything he learned coming together. From understanding that he doesn't need to please or should please his father because he banished him simply for being a caring kid to having learned first hand in s2 in zuko alone how the fire nation has hurt others to learning the true history. Him realizing completely that this is not for him last episode. "During the meeting, I was the perfect prince, the son my father wanted. But I wasn't me". I can go on and on but from episode 1 has built up to this amazing moment. Of zuko finally understanding the harm of his people, understanding himself and what he needs to do to better both himself and the world.

[@ItzBritt_91]

I agree, I absolutely love Zuko & how he represents outgrowing and unlearning the toxic things that come from generations before us. He is a cycle breaker. He overcame so much peer pressure. I still get emotional watching this and it's one of my all time favorite stories.

[@CrazeeAdam]

Zuko's epic battle with his father is amazing. Love it every time. But the sad thing is.. All the elders basically stay behind so the kids escape. :(

[@zetzle]

hakota and the other invasion adults totally had a secret meeting and were like "so when this goes south, we get the kids out" right like you cannot convince me that tyro and the mechanist were cool with their sons going to jail. this was the plan all along if they got captured, that the adults stay behind and the kids get out. bc yeah they'll get separated again from their kids for the umpteenth time, but at least the kids will all be together and they Won't be in jail

[@Drummer4President]

“I NEED VIOLENCE ON AZULA!” That is a child soldier. Shes a 14 year old abuse victim, turned into a weapon. She didn’t have her mother’s love or Irohs understanding. She literally ONLY had Ozais “guidance” And as we find out this episode Zukos “Azula always lies” is false. Azula was absolutely telling the truth to him when they were children. Ozai was going to murder him. And it’s because she told their mother, that Zuko lives. Justice for Azula 💙

[@Yewtewba]

27:50 The Gaang would've ended up extra crispy had they taken on Ozai after the eclipse ended, unless they went for a kill shot moments after Zuko left the room. It would've changed the tone of the show a little had they done that.

[@skyereacts125]

i think we need to put a little respect on azula. she’s not just a “gymnast” she an incredibly powerful firebender who’s been described as a prodigy. she’s the only one in the fire nation that has blue flames (the hottest fire). so yes it’s makes sense that they couldn’t take her azula aint the 1

[@redviper6805]

As you probably know, Mark Hamill voices the fire lord. When he says certain words, I can hear the Joker! Do you see the IRONY of Hamill’s role in the show? In Star Wars he was a hero who defied an evil tyrant with lightning powers and had no means of defending himself. In Avatar, he voices/portrays a very similar bad guy and Zuko has a way of defending himself against lightning!

[@ItzBritt_91]

Gonna need Cody to put on an arrow for the finale please

[@embran8486]

I´m conflicted on the old man pointing the direction to the throne room. This is the same guy who commanded the drill and according to wiki promoted to Minister of War. So either he was just a coward, trying to get himself out of trouble or Azula ordered him to lead our gang to her. Must be a damn good actor then.

[@julchensweet2538]

Still so proud of Zuko 🥹

[@lightningg252]

Invasion was really cool and had so many great character moments for everyone but I always felt it was strategically unwise simply because it relies on too many Hail-Marys. They have 8 minutes to find and completly subdue both Ozai and Azula plus all their guards. On top of which they need to capture the enemies resources and hold out for retaliation when the sun comes back out. I feel like their small group might've gotten overwhelmed in the end. Regardless, it was a great few episodes and awesome to watch.😊

[@DevDeeb]

I laughed way too hard when Cody said “ a lil pick me up” about the snack compartment on the glider. The face says it all 😆😆

I've seen this entire series well over a hundred times, probably closer to two hundred times by now, and I am NOT counting the many, many reactions to it that I've watched in that total. So I know exactly what happens in these two episodes. I can tell you the story from begining to end, scene by scene. If I concentrate hard enough, I can even remember and repeat most of the dialogue word for word... But yet, I STILL get an uncontrolable goofy grin on my face when all the returning characters show up. I STILL get nervous, anxious, and excited at the beginning ot the invasion. I STILL worry about Hakoda's possible death when he gets hurt. I STILL feel the pride and love in Zuko's voice and smile when he talks about how Iroh has "gotten to him". I STILL feel sadness and worry when the adults decide to stay behind and go to jail so that the kids can escape... After all this time, and after all these repeated viewings and re-viewings, I STILL feel all of that, and a lot more, because this show truly IS THAT. DAMN.GOOD!

Hey, y'all! Loving your ATLA reactions! I actually have a suggestion for another show, if y'all are amenable. Since you've reacted to ATLA, The Boys, & One Piece, I think you'll really love My Hero Academia! It's similar to The Boys in that it involves a superhuman society, just a bit more family friendly (it can still go to some pretty dark places, though). It's more Teen rated than ATLA, but it's a really fun, intriguing plot with lots of twists and turns. It's longer than ATLA, but not as long as the One Piece anime. So far, it's 7 seasons. It will likely end up being 7 or 8 seasons. I sort of disregarded it until the last 2-3 years and now I regret not being into it the whole time. The characters and world are all so interesting. HIGHLY recommend. It's the anime that got me back into anime for the first time since I was a kid.
