The Day Uncle Iroh Died

How did Iroh die in avatar the last airbender

[@whistleking3407]

Why he didn’t write to Azula 😒

[@RSeph]

Iroh probably liked Sokka’s letter the most. He would’ve found it funny, but also sincere. I imagine he’d have given a hearty laugh after reading Sokka’s

[@natstar7864]

Sokka's letter was only one that said more than i like you Toph called him old anyways.

[@5kidsrule789]

I agree

[@justhavingfun3988]

exactly whati was thinking about!

[@1mol831]

I like Sokka’s letter as well, his humour brings more meaning than Katara and Aang’s entire passages would bring because it anchors greatly on experiences and alludes to specific emotions and reactions of Iroh instead of general reactions like Katara’s letter. Being thankful for getting freed in Ba Sing Sei is a general response, but ‘please stop making me drink your tea’ forces an in character response from uncle Iroh about his obsession with tea. It sets apart Iroh with just another man who helped us and expresses genuine thoughts.

[@journeyoflife9159]

Exactly what I thought I think Sokkas letter was the best out of all he still making a conversation with iroh

[@xXmlgamingXx355]

I think it’s incredible that he went to live in the spirit world. Honestly, it fits his character so well.

[@Pope_Balenciaga]

This letter is made after TLOK was released. In a scene with Korra, Zuko is surprised to hear that Iroh is in the spirit world - which means that Iroh didn't tell Zuko before he left for spirit world. That's pretty messed up from a father figure like Iroh.

[@oldenoughtotalkoldenoughto2889]

Yeah but not in the kora world cause there the spirits are stupid as fuck and the whole kora series kinda doo doo tbh

I love how he didn't "die" in the traditional sense. He just woke up one morning, wrote a memoir, decided that he wanted to enter the spirit world and just didn't bother coning back.

[@justkashi9481]

I see it more as Iroh had finished everything he had left in life to do other than passing good to others, he didn't go to the spirit realm to leave the shackles of his dying body but instead leaving those shackles so his spirit can do more good for the world and to explore the spirit realm like he never had time to in his age

Iroh definitely one of the best Avatar characters.

Underrated comment

[@supersasukemaniac]

I like the respect shown by Aang and Katara. Aang referring to Iroh as Master and Katara referring to him by his rank.

[@1mol831]

I prefer Sokka’s letter. He is the most blatantly truthful and honest, not just about what he likes but what he doesn’t like about Iroh. These are the things true friends would say unless they are at the point where these stop being necessary (been through too much together that jokes began to get old)

Sokkas note is kinda satirical tbh. Not that disrespectful, more like playful?

[@ameliawilder28]

Sounds more like he brushed all Iroh ever did off his shoulder like they could have won even without Iroh and Zuko. This also clearly shows that he is only doing this because Katara told him to. So this is all forced and his thanks means nothing.

[@kao9349]

iroh probably would have liked it that way

[@sheridan5175]

Iroh would laugh reading it

[@journeyoflife9159]

​@@ameliawilder28if you think that you don't know Sokka or Iroh at all I am pretty sure Iroh liked Sokkas letter the most

[@Da_one_tl]

1:56 Sokka’s letter isn’t disrespectful. It’s just that he doesn’t react well to death, and so in his letter he reacts in the only way he knows how, which is comedy and satire

[@GrouchyRaccoon]

Iroh is one of my all time favourite characters, not just from Avatar but from any media. He's just somehow a perfectly written character, he's a fully empathic person with a wealth of wisdom but they managed to not make him preachy and keep him completely believable and human.

[@paprika1725]

Bruh Sokka's letter is so out of character. The real Sokka would have been more thoughtful and passionate. Also, I wish Iroh called Zuko "my son" instead of "my nephew" in the end. It would have been twice as touching.

[@36moshpit7]

I think so, too. Maybe he was avoiding the heavy topic by joking about it, but Sokka knows when to be serious and speak from the heart. All of them seemed a little off, to be honest.

[@leonglitch]

Sure sokka wouldn't be as nice as katara and aang but i agree with you

[@xsah2]

Kinda weird to call him your son when he is your nephew though even though you raised him like a son that’s just awkward

[@paprika1725]

@@xsah2 Iroh himself said that he thinks of Zuko as his own son since he lost Lu Ten. Nothing weird here

[@mcstudioproductions3512]

His death sucks, not the bad kind, but the fact our wise and lovable tea loving old man passed away sucks...

[@Groovysmokes23]

He technically didn’t “die” Per se. sure his body did, but he chose to leave it and venture the spirit world

[@chrissdevano]

I guess Zuko didn't put any effort into the letter because he knows Iroh will never read it. Katara cares about the gesture and Zuko just cares about the result, which there is none.

[@drewpearce1383]

Can we just take a sec to appreciate that iroh took the time to insure Zuko could always draw on his wisdom even after he was gone

[@ameliawilder28]

I expected a lot more gratitude form Sokka. He may not always tell how it is but throw a joke in here and there, but he would have said a lot more. I definitely see a page worth of thanks to Iroh from Sokka, and I can see not finishing his letter without cracking a little Sokka joke in there too. We have seen Sokka's thoughtful side. I'm shocked he was not portrayed the Sokka we know in this letter. Sokka was a lot more accepting of Zuko than Katara. This Sokka in the letter sounds more like the Sokka in the live action film from 2009 I refuse to even name. Edited spelling

[@justhavingfun3988]

same!!! He would show so much more gratitude for him

[@captainvanghn]

What movie

[@Jiub_SN]

I mean Iroh and Sokka were both jesters so it was probably for laughs, and like Aang said Sokka probably did or would say it in person. It was a total Katara move to write letters in the first place lmao

[@anneramos3786]

iroh is not really dead, he separated his spirit and never returned to his body

[@paprika1725]

In the physical/material world, he is considered deceased. Since his body is decomposed by now and he can't go back to Earth. But not all of him is gone. His spirit lives on in the spirit world. That's why, he's dead but not _gone_ like Lu Ten.

Ok, but if there's one thing I really wish we could've seen was Iroh meeting his son, Lu Ten, in the Spirit World, as we know he was unable to find him when he journeyed to the northern water tribe and went into the spirit world the first time around via the spirit oasis.

[@wackyanimations3326]

sadly, that isnt how it works. Iroh did not die like the others, he went to the spirit world and decided to never come back. Lu Ten just straight up died, so he wasnt able to get to the spirit world. the Spirit World and Afterlife are different universes. otherwise you'd probably not care if someone you really love died.

[@jeffk.9075]

Uncle Iroh didn't die. He just moved.

I feel like Sokka’s letter is out of character but also unsurprising because the letters only reference events from the main series and Sokka never got much in terms of Iroh memories

[@CaptainPilipinas]

seems Lazy too whoever wrote that letter for the character sokka. (it is as if....). other than his characterization is usually being some jokester theme kind of guy being obvious, lightening up some moods being humored, etc. and usually he doesn't show such saddened emotional choice of action too openly too many times.... the serious kind I mean. but, that letter's part from being shown from this channel's video here is just....you know....
