How can it be a filler episode if the show is the source material? Filler usually refers to as an episode of a show that doesn't adhere to the source material (think an anime like Naruto) used to pad out or lengthen the story.

It’s interesting how Iroh developed. He was once a great general, but losing his son forced his to realize the true nature of war and the world. Instead of turning to vengeance like so many of his family would have, he reached enlightenment. And, in the end, while he could not save his son, he was able to help someone else...

You can hear it in his voice, the way he is strained and choked while singing, it’s so gorgeous and heartbreaking. I hope Mako is at peace, I hope he felt true peace in the end.

[@MinecraftDude1245peni]

I believe the actual song itself is just the part he voiced.

I believe that the voice actor who replaced Mako refused to sing "Leaves from the Vine." His reason being that it was Mako's song. I figured everyone could use yet another reason to tear up when you hear this song.

[@nikosg.6973]

I just came to realize (and yes, it took me a while) that when Iroh says "If only I could have helped you" it's because he helped so many people throughout his part of the episode, yet he can't help the person he loves most. Man :(

[@felipegiraldoperez3378]

This also explains why Iroh helped Zuko so much. He felt guilty for his son every time, so he won't make the same mistake again for a loved one in need.

[@RayTehSun]

Also think about who specifically he helped during the segment: a small child, then a group of teen boys, then a young man, in that order. It was a microcosm of fatherhood.

[@calebwilson2270]

I think he's also referring to how he's helped Zuko develop from the banished prince whose obsession with honor was his entire identity, to the young man who realized that things were much bigger than himself and that there's more to the story than what he had thought

[@zebdawson3687]

Notice, each person he helped represented his son in each stage of his life: he helps the little boy, then those teenagers, and finally the mugger who just wanted things to not be so bad anymore. He was there for those people, because he couldn’t be there for his son. “If only... I could have helped YOU.” Heavy.

Just the fact that Iroh is such a kind character- and helps everyone around him- but when he’s sad there’s no one that notices. It’s heartbreaking 😭😭

[@brandenboggess6672]

We see every main character shed tears in Avatar, but iroh is one of the only to shed tears when no one is around to help him, the one who helps everyone he meets. I think that’s one of the most important things about Avatar, it shows that even the strongest characters can break down at their lowest. Something we can all live by.

[@I_am_a_cat_]

I think he chose to not let anyone see him sad, because it would have made his "job" of helping everyone else that much harder. They'd be focusing on him, and he wants them to focus on themselves. Makes me respect iroh even more... he doesn't want his pain to affect anyone else 😢 He's a hero, and even though he's fictional, I look up to him.

[@s0ls0l.mp3]

like almost any character if they were there they would help him, but Iroh wants to help them and if they're worried about him it's be hard for him to help them- *gawd* *Iroh is and shall remain best character* *nobody can change my mind*

[@vib2119]

To me, it seems like he does this not because he thinks other people shouldnt fuss over his problems, I think Iroh is far too wise a person to have that kind of self-hateful(in my eyes) view of his problems, but for this particular problem, he doesn't want them to make a fuss over it because they cant really help him, how can anyone (except Iroh himself) help him overcome this regret and grief? Zuko treats him as a father, many other look up to him as a father figure or an extremely wise person, but that won't make the regrets and grief go away. More than that, I think he has overcome his regret and grief but on this day, to not shed tears for his son would very disrespectful and so he wanted to be vulnerable to his regrets and grief, on this day. And I think it's just another one of his strengths, to be at a stage where you are so familiar and in touch with your emotions, that you can choose when and when to not react to your emotions, but not go down a slippery sloop of either never reacting to emotions or always reacting to emotions.

[@mamacita278]

In the episode he was helping everyone even a guy that tried to rob him that day I think that’s because he just wished someone could’ve helped his son

[@Rando67jbo]

"leaves from the vine, falling so slow. like fragile tiny shells, drifting in the foam. little soldier boy, come marching home. brave soldier boy, comes marching home..."

[@thewestfire9729]

So it was brought to my attention that Iroh’s Tale is a day of him reliving fatherhood. When it begins he comforts a toddler boy who was crying, as a father would. Then he watches a bunch of preteen boys play ball and then tries to teach them to be honorable and admit their mistake when the ball crashes through someone’s window, as a father would. Then he humbled the young man who tried to mug him, taught him about taking a strong stance and encouraged him to follow his dreams, as a father would. So he basically got to relive being a father on his son’s birthday, helping all those young men. Which makes the line, “Happy birthday my son…if only I could’ve helped you…” hit so much harder.

It was his first time ever recording for the role after Mako’s passing and they wanted to sit in for the recording. Greg was super nervous bc he wasn’t sure if he would do the voice well enough or that Mako’s daughter would even like it. As they were listening, Mako’s daughter leaned back and closed her eyes. After the recording, Mako’s daughter thanked Greg and said he did the voice so well, that she able to hear her father’s voice and feel as though he was in the room for a moment That story made me cry

Crazy part about this scene is, as kids we understand that he went through loss but we never related to this song nor felt the depth of it until we grew older. Now when we listen to this because we have a better understanding of life and all that surrounds it, we feel his loss… R.I.P Mako
