[@lukastace3154]

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.

[@o7o6o5o4o3]

Maybe they found a different way that didn't need peace of mind? It was said that the true way to firebend was lost. Idk just a theory.

[@Bazziness]

@@josephscott1292 that sounds pretty legit I believe

[@MrShroomed]

Had Azula reached maturity in both mind and body at the age of Ozai's age, she would have definetly been the strongest firebender in history. Hotter blue flames. Fire propulsion without Sozin's Comet. Insane physical dexterity. Strategic mindset. She was just too young, and too emotionally disturbed to have her potential grow.

@@Sanfupaw Azula would never understand the dragons' lesson, assuming they would even teach her. I think the ranking is based on a character's ENTIRE being (i.e including their personality and reasoning), that's why Ozai is more powerful than Iroh, even though Iroh would beat Ozai if he were more unhinged and had less self-doubt. You are who you are, flaws and all. If you didn't have any of your flaws or talents, you wouldn't be you.

#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.

Tbh I'm so glad how everyone is pointing out Azula. Zuko and Azula were prophecized to be the start of a new line of powerful firebenders. 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!

@@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.
