Azula #3 Zuko #2 Iroh #1 Edit, this my opinion y'all

[@Bazziness]

Azula can even generate lightning when she's not mentally stable. That's impressive since Iroh said generating lightning need peace of mind tho.

[@josephscott1292]

One interpretation is that it just requires emptiness of mind. Concentration upon emptiness rather than inner peace or calm. Azula had a lot of emptiness to draw on.

[@josephscott1292]

I found it in a comic on Pinterest. I can’t take credit. But yes, it is intriguing, and makes more sense.

[@Zealch_]

I believe this is more of a plot inconsistently honestly. In the comics they have her failing at lightning generation because of her instability.

#1 Iroh Reasons, He's not like other fire benders fueling their fire bending by agressive and anger. He found out true fire bending which is not in the muscles but in breath from dragons and got a Nick name dragon of the west thereby. He was the one who penetrated the walls of Ba Sing Se while he was a general, and one who penetrated it again with his fire bending from breath while the Sozin's Comet arrived. He was the one who created a new technique "Directing the lightning" by studying water benders without anyone's help. He was proud of the fire nation by fighting the battles when Ozai cunningly worked to take his birthright from his father. He was the Grand Lotus of the white lotus society working with other nations to end the battle and to save Ba Sing Se. He was a spiritual guy of the fire nation apart from the Avatar Roku. He deeply connected with the spiritual world to see the spirit whith his naked eye in the material world. He was a wise who advises everytime in every situation to everyone without any partiality. I don't care of the rest of the places but #1 should be Iroh.

She is called a firebending prodigy by her father and brother. She is compared to lightning (the strongest sub-element of fire) by IROH. Her blue fire burns hotter than anyone else's and is recognized as formidable by Katara. She uses jet propulsion regularly without Sozin's comet. She created firebending forms using her acrobatic skills. And she generated lightning when she was unstable mentally and emotionally. (Iroh said it is not like other firebending... it "REQUIRES peace of mind") plus everything she learns in comics play a part too... lightning redirection and lightning spheres. Azula all the way!

Iroh destroyed with a controlled blast the Walls of Ba Sing Se while Ozai put full force in a Ball of earth around Aang and needed like 5 attacks to get him out. Aang blocked with mountains, Ozai only destroyed smaller earthshields. Only the air from Aang in his Avatar State was strong enough to destroy one mountain.

He was a late bloomer but his ability to produce dragon fire proves that he mastered firebending in a truly unique way that nobody else has ever been recorded to match.

@@andrewyang6901 who would you say is stronger, Azula or Iroh? Iroh did something only 1 other person (to my knowledge) was capable of - creating a new bending technique. Iroh invented the technique of lightning-redirection. The only other person I know of to invent a new technique is Aang, who invented the air scooter. So it stands to reason that Iroh is stronger than Azula - he has a similar level of mastery, and knowledge of a technique that not only counters one of Azula's most deadly moves but that she has no knowledge of. Iroh taught Zuko the original and true philosophy of firebending even if Zuko didn't recognise it at the time, and yet Zuko went on to produce dragonfire, something that Iroh was never seen to do. Something that nobody else was recorded doing, not even an Avatar.

@@anatoldenevers237 Exactly. Just because Iroh is the better character doesn't mean he is the more powerful firebender. People are letting their personal opinions cloud their reasoning. Ozai is stronger and more powerful than Iroh period.

@@gabrielberrios1306 Iroh can generate lightning. He hits Ozai with that and it’s game over. But switch places and Iroh redirects Ozais lightening anyways. How is Ozai more powerful again?

[@stalkerentertainment3671]

Iroh on the second place?! Granted he did doubt that he would come out on top in a fight with Ozai but he also didn't want the war to end by a brother against a brother. He knew his destiny by saying that he will conquer Ba Sing Se instead of defeating the fire lord.

Idk why y’all in these comments keep saying Iroh when it’s been confirmed on multiple occasions Ozai is stronger 💀

Iroh stans

[@LucilleJcj4904]

Because Iroh is the best water bender, airbender, earth bender, fire bender, and non bender in the show somehow. Iroh Stans reject logic

[@craigpeoples9883]

Because Ozai lost his bending

[@Pauline__]

Iroh stans be like: reject logic, embrace the tea

[@o7o6o5o4o3]

Ozai is stronger but Iroh is smarter. Iroh could maybe beat him in a fight. But if we're talking pure bending(strength of fire) then Ozai is more powerful.
