Exactly...You're the only one who gets why I made this list like this.

[@Arek152]

If you mentioned Sozin, then Azulon should be on the list too. Ozai called Azula a prodigy, just like her grandfather Azulon. So we can guess that Azulon was a great firebender. At the age of 95 he punished Ozai. I believe Azula had potential to become the greatest firebender ever but she's gone crazy, and Azulon was the man. Even better than Ozai and Iroh.

[@Alucardd-tt8eb]

Azula should be #1. I’m not a fan of her personally, but she’s obsessed with perfection and is the only bender in both series to bend blue fire, including all incarnations of avatars. When you look at her perfectionism and this unique bending, it’s clear that she was written to be the best fire bender in existence. She’s shown to have mastered fire bending beyond what any avatar has (who is supposed to be the master of all elements.) Her mastery of fire is as close to perfect as it can be, thus making her the most powerful fire bender.

Ozai defneitly should be under his children. The only reason he was able to keep up with Aang was because of the power from the comet, without it he would have lost quickly. He wasn't a good strategist like Azula, he wasn't adaptable like Zuko, and he wasn't disciplined like Iroh. I mean, Zuko could have straight up killed him during the Day of the Black Sun, and there was nothing he could've done about it. Ozai should not be in second place.

Man, I dunno. General Iroh can propel himself through the sky with fire and is skilled at using lightning, accurate enough to shoot a moving plane... he would body Zhao lol. Also this just made me appreciate how precise and controlled Mako's bending abilities are. Accuracy at firing lightning strikes, being able to hit Amon. He may not be a flamboyant or extreme bender like Jeong Jeong or Ozai or Azula, but he's like a needle. Pointed and gets the job done.

[@TheFallen_29]

That’s a good point and helps me respect him more, because I feel likes he’s overall not even as powerful as some of the people he got listed above like the combustion benders or even general iroh.

I think his firepower has become quite precise due to his jobs as a pro-bender and factory worker where that level of bending precision is necessary, but bending lightning to power stuff in tandem with other people isn't the same as pulling lightning strong enough to kill. And I don't count Mako killing Ming-Hua to be on the same level. She was surrounded by water. Getting electrocuted in water is basically a death sentence. 😅

I thought it was stated somewhere that Ozai was more powerful than Iroh. As in like the show runners said this? I know Iroh stated that he wasn’t sure he could beat him, which isn’t saying that Iroh can’t beat him I know, but it gives Ozai some credit. If you want to talk about Iroh after Ozai’s defeat then I think the spirit world/Kora Iroh (if he was alive again) against Ozai at the time of the comet could have defeated this Ozai or a younger Iroh even. But I think that if the both of them fought at the end of ATLA it was implied that Ozai would win.

[@isaacaccomando435]

People need to realize there is a huge difference between the electricity bending we see in Kora and the lightning bending we see in the original series. The "lightning benders" like Mako can produce the force of mediocre power line accidents. Their electricity hurts and maims but many people get hit by "lightning bending" in that series and survive. The true lightning bending in the original series generates the same force as storm clouds in the sky. It isn't like a power line accident that could be survivable, it is equivalent to being struck by a powerful lightning bolt in the thunder storm. The original series implies that it is pretty much lethal every time and there are only two instances we see characters get hit successfully. Azula strikes Aang at Ba Sing Se, and this does kill him. Katara plus spirit water brought him back but he did die from that singular lightning strike. The only other time is during the last Agni Kai when Azula aimed at Katara, but Zuko blocked it. Zuko performed the redirection technique but was so rushed by the need to dive in front of Katara, that he didn't manage to pull it off entirely and even with a semi-successful redirection, it still nearly killed him. I'm passionate about this difference due to the way Iron explains what is required when he is teaching Zuko for the first time. There is no way you'd have THAT MANY fire benders with THAT LEVEL of emotional and spiritual capability all working in a factory. Electricity bending is not the same thing.

[@TheFallen_29]

Spit. I’m glad someone realized this because this is usually extremely overlooked amongst many avatar fans.

[@drschwandi3687]

Also, the lightning bolt redirected by Aang in the fight against Ozai during the comet is probably the strongest lightning bolt ever produced.

[@ombrepourpre7562]

[@teenagegringo393]

While you make a lot of good points, I would argue that over time it makes sense you would see techniques that were once considered rare and hard, such as lightning-bending, become more commonplace as the knowledge of the techniques are refined and become more widespread, with metal-bending being a clear example of this. Also, the lightning generated by Mako was indeed lethal for Ming-Hua. I think something of tiers of the technique are utilized; electricity can be generated quickly whilst stronger lightning-bolt like strikes require more set-up.

Put Sozin on no.1, remember that he fought shoulder by shoulder together with avatar Roku against a whole volcano, without the comet, DURING THE NIGHT, he also was better then avatar Roku at fire bending from the start till the end, and avatar Roku could ONLY fight him using the avatar state. From here on, next would be Iroh, Ozai, Jeon Jeong, and then Azula followed by Zuko, for the other spots I don't really think the order matter. Of course, you can always put Roku on the list, but in general I find that putting Avatars on the list is not that informative or fair, they will always be one of the strongest benders, in each of the 4 elements in the whole world, in every life.

@@kailanerman5090 the only way Iroh beats ozai is if he redirects the lighting back at him and zuko giving away that tactic kinda ruins that point I think the only reason he did it against aang would be because he maybe thought zuko didn’t or wasn’t able to teach him idk do i want Iroh to be a contender fuck yes but the writers are the writers and they said ozai was the strongest with Iroh not far behind but Iroh would have lost I think is something they also stated because ozai is in his prime Iroh is not

[@kailanerman5090]

@norsefaka6679 Exactly! Plus, Ozai is wicked fast with his lightning generation (x2), and we've never ever actually seen Iroh redirect it... Everyone brings it up like it's a trump card, but the truth is we don't know if Iroh would actually be fast enough to "catch" it and redirect it. We saw him do it with Azula, which she takes longer to generate than Ozai, and she didn't see Iroh coming. So I feel like Ozai has a better chance of hitting an older Iroh as opposed to a youthful Zuko. I think the biggest difference, besides the overall power and lethal skill of Ozai, is that Ozai would gleefully kill his older brother. And with no hesitation or internal conflict (which is crucial to firebenders and especially lightning). I don't think Iroh could ever escape the fact that Oazi is his baby brother, and he'd be conflicted, fighting defensively, and not be pushing himself for the kill. In all things being equal fair fight and level headedness, I still think Ozai would win (but barely). But we need to take into account their character. Iroh is a good man who values the life of his evil brother, putting him at a moral and firebending disadvantage. Ozai has no issue with it, is completely internally calm, and at peace with his decision. Making him stronger, more lethal, and more ready for a fight.

[@norsefaka6679]

@@kailanerman5090 I agree with the morals in terms of speed Iroh redirected a lightning blast from nature herself so I don’t think ozai could be much faster then that but morals I think it would be difficult for Iroh so yeah

[@kailanerman5090]

@norsefaka6679 oh shit I forgot about that in season 1! AMATEUR DAMNIT!!!!!!!!! Well...yup

[@owens945]

Strongly disagree with some of this. 1. Zuko was beating Azula in their final fight you even showed a clip of said fight, he got taken out saving Katara from a lighting bolt but he was winning up to that point so I think Zuko is better than Azula 2. Azula doesn't really fly more like boost herself to a wall and super jumps, her blue fire never really matters, it just looks cool it gets deflected and overpowered by Zuko's fire more than once long story short, shes overrated by fans imo, even katara kicks her ass pretty easily. 3. Sozen is top 3, don't even know how you put Mako Zuko and Azula above him. 4. Ozai is number 1 creator said so period 5. Iroh should most likely be two 6. Zhao should maybe be 12th he only really mattered because it was in book 1 in any other season, he's a nobody.

[@NoName-tu6qi]

Avatar Extras for Sozin's Comet says Ozai is the strongest firebender during the show. And I think during show, the Top 5 firebenders are Ozai, Iroh, Azula, Jeong Jeong and Zuko, with Jeong Jeong and Azula fighting for the third spot. However, if we take the entire franchise into account, I think it is Azula, Zuko, Ozai, Iroh, and Jeong Jeong. Azula eventually learns how to completely modulate the strength of her lightning (she can make zaps, instant lightning, and quick-charge lightning), ball lightning, area of effect lightning, control the direction of her lighting after firing it, faster fire jets, and smokebending. Moreover, not is it implied, and sometimes outright stated, in S&S and her solo comic she is holding back, it is also implied she can dual wield two of her smoke, fire, and lightningbending. Meanwhile, Zuko has imo the best fire redirection feat in the franchise that isn't done by an Avatar, producing dragon fire in process, and can fire jet in the South Pole at night while holding a grown man (Kuei) with both hands.

[@wkdxcrimex]

Both ozai and iroh are relative in power (ozai slightly stronger) but iroh is more skilled and smarter which is why he’s more powerful

[@tim8801]

Personally I think zuko would rank higher than jeong jeong other than that yea

[@NoName-tu6qi]

@@tim8801 Imo, the hard thing about Jeong Jeong is that since he is a Grand Lotus of the White Lotus, not only should he have been able to learn about the other bending elements like Zuko and Iroh were, but also the Royal Family's techniques, including lightning redirection and generation, from Iroh as well. So, considering even Azula with her superior talent is still weaker than Ozai and Iroh due to age, Jeong Jeong should be stronger than Zuko for the same reasons. But we haven't gotten any confirmation about the scope of Jeong Jeong's abilities yet, and so why I just typed out is just headcanon for now.

[@tim8801]

@@NoName-tu6qi although zoku is weaker than azula he isn’t far off from her. We see after the learned from the sun warriors his fire ending was at his peak in the show and he went from getting embarrassed from azula to putting up really good matches, the boiling rock he had the upper hand with sokka, the blimp fight although was short ended in a stalemate and he was on a winning pace in the agni Kai, although azula was certainly weaker during that time. One thing we do know about jeong jeong is that he was getting old and up until he met Ang zhao said he retired from fighting so he may have regressed. In terms of lightning generation and redirection it’s not unreasonable to assume he can generate lightning but I don’t he could, and as for redirection he could learn it but iroh only invented it in book 2 and wasn’t in much contact with people and probably only met with jeong sometime after the eclispe which was like a week or so from the comet where we see him again.

[@memeyo42]

Honestly, I know that the fire nation made fire benders look like very bad destructive people, but that doesn't mean that fire is the same as its bender. Especially given the fact that their reputation was destroyed by force and orders from a firelord who was completly mental for starting a war. Just like the dragons taught Zuko and Aang, Firebending isn't about power and destruction, it's about energy. The very same energy you have inside you that keeps you warm and happy inside. It's just like the fire we use today. Yes, if we're not carefull, fire can be a problem. But if we're just focused, precautiousnand smart, it can be used safely through cooking, light and warmth. Stuff we need in life to survive. And when used right like Zuko and his last fight with Azula, or Iroh taking back Ba Sing Se, Fire can indeed be extremly cool and awesome to watch!😁

[@evanstudios69]

i think iroh is actually the strongest, not only do we know he has great firebending skill and combat (even more so after his prison break), the crucial part is that he knows the true source of firebending

Let's not mistake skills for power. Iroh was the greatest or most skillful firebender of his time, Ozai was the most powerful of his time, just like Toph was the greatest earthbender but Bumi was the strongest.

I actually think the order should be Sozin, Iroh, Ozai, Azula and Zuko. Even though we didn't get to watch enough of Sozin's storyline, the fact that the comet was named after him should tell us a lot more about his powers. Sozin is the best

Are you really suggesting Mako is a more powerful firebender than Sozin, young Iroh, and both combustion benders? Um, okay. Also, does Roku not exist any more?

[@NonyeO]

Can Sozin or anyone you mentioned still bend while being blood bent? Watch the show very well before talking

[@MindBursterz]

Yes! i'm not only suggesting, i'm saying it. Mako single-handedly took out a Mecha suit that was heavily fortified with spiritual energy, and as my subscriber have already said, was able to still bend lightening despite being under the influence of Amon's bloodbending. Mind you, Amon is considered one of the most powerful waterbenders in history. If you watched the video, you'd see Mako took out a member of the red lotus, who according to Lord Zuko, is formidable enough to take down the whole world. I mean i could go on.

[@soccertrainingvids123]

@@MindBursterz bruh, that fight with the red lotus was no other than a 500iq move (shooting lightning on water), that does not equate to the powerfulness of the bender himself.

​@@NonyeO by that logic that means, Mako is the strongest fire-bender, better yet, the strongest character in the whole avatar universe (apart form aang). that proves mako bending while under the influence of blood bending is flawed and does not correlate to skill.
