I don't think azula cared of her friends. Yes, she was shattered about their betrayal, but not because she cares for them.

in azula's mind, azula is the only person who is important. she doesn't worry about the fact that she uses people. that sort of caring empathy where you're concerned about the harm of your actions doesn't compute in her mind because she's too self centered. if she betrays you, she doesn't care because she doesn't care about you. fairness and kindness have no meaning to someone like azula. she is the type of person to demand loyalty and respect from you but give nothing but betrayal and hurt in return. she's cold

The seeds of a fall often lies in the roots of a rise itself. Azula had manipulated and coerced her friends to join her. She used subtle threats and fear to make them do her bidding. Even the fact that they shared a history mattered very little to her when something important was at stake. Eventually, they got fed up and learned to stand up for themselves when they betrayed her.

[@paprika1725]

Mai joined Azula like 95% voluntarily and she never really feared Azula. She stood up for herself in the Beach episode when she shouted at Azula to leave her alone. Their friendship was genuine. Yes, toxic, unhealthy, not normal. But it was _genuine_ Mai and Ty Lee cared about Azula and she cared about them. Just in her own twisted way

It seems like the Fire Nation, especially the Fire Nation aristocracy is a marital society. Particularly with Sozin launching the Hundred Year War he probably wanted as many citizens as possible, especially nobility to be able to fight in case of a mainland invasion.

[@cgamejewels]

Were they ever really friends? That was an abusive "friendship" from the start. We know Mai was there because of her father's career. I don't know about Ty Lee. Ty Lee's betrayal was more surprising.

[@JabamiLain]

I think Ty Lee became friends with Azula because she was the only person to ever see Ty Lee for who she really was in terms of habilities and personality. Mai, I think she actually grew fond of them because due to her stoic nature, she found the two of them more mature and bearable than other children. Can't tell you if the friendship was ever there though. But I like to believe Azula did felt some form of love and respect towards them since she trusts them above anyone else, and doesn't want anyone else to work at her side. She simply didn't know how to show it due to Ozai's way of raising her.

As much as Azula is my 2nd favourite character on the show (Katara is 👑, obvi), I’ve always thought that Team Azula should’ve had more difficulty in defeating Suki and the other Kyoshi Warriors. Like sure, Azula is super well-trained in bending and combat, Mai has her blades and Ty Lee is a chi blocker extraordinaire, but they were still on some level three pampered aristocrats in comparison to the Kyoshi Warriors who'd spent their whole lives training in combat. I know the fight scene was just supposed to be small because the episode was aimed at focusing on Appa’s lost days (lol literally) but maybe they should’ve had two fight scenes and had Team Azula almost lose but then defeat the Kyoshi’s in the end by some small margin.

[@ddthewolf]

That's what I thought too, it just seemed like they defeated the Kioshi warriors a little too easy.

[@francofranco9815]

I agree with this but someone who specializes in one or two combat practice (kyoshi warriors being on an island) will have a disadvantage from someone who has access to different mentors and can study multiple fighting strategies. I’m sure Kyoshi warriors are trained and all but they don’t have as much resources to learn from compared to these three.

Yes but the Kyoshi warriors were also not given mentors. They were taught through past knowledge of teachings and if you didn’t know they’re all young as well lol.

It should’ve been more close for sure but not THAT close

[@ban66a1]

@WABO No as far as you think. There’s part of Azula that is still there. Ozai is the only one who is truly evil.

Well ATLA was supposed to have a Book 4 and it was gonna be about Azula's redemption but the live action movie ruined everything.

I can’t believe nobody talks about Azula’s position here on 14:55! It’s so perfect and satisfyingly precise!

[@aprilporter5456]

It was still sad once Azula broke down. From the start she was strong and always in control, and to see her crumble was so sad. She felt it was better to be feared then to be loved because then no one could hurt you.

[@katnerd6712]

You'll notice she didn't start to fall apart until she lost Mai and Ty Lee. Azula had a fragile mind that depended on her knowing those two were totally committed and submissive to her. When she lost that one and only constant in her entire life she instantly started to fall apart.

[@Weesee_I]

@@xaviergarcia8342 I wouldn't say that. Sure, Zuko's story has been done before, but he does have the twist where he meets his "crossroads of destiny" and slips back to the bad side. Plus, Azula and Zuko kind of parallel each other in ways, and one could infer that Azula is what Zuko could have become, and vice versa.

[@Jonsnowmerdinger]

"She was right of course, but it still hurt." One of her best lines in my book.

[@charlieflickinger7372]

the one on one Ty Lee v Suki fight really showed just how much better Suki was than most of the other Kyoshi Warriors. Ty Lee took on 5 of them quite easily, but Suki really held her own here. I think 'Betrayal' might be one of my favorite episodes of 'ATLA'. Mai was forever the best character of Team Azula, and I was STOKED when she turned on Azula.

[@TheAvatarist]

Unpopular Opinion: Even if Azula didn't go insane Zuko still would have won the final Agni kai

I'm not disagreeing but that is a debatable opinion.

[@kingraplhmativo5178]

Shut up

[@robertisham5279]

I don't think so

[@MeganAngel315]

As much as I loved Zuko and his redemption. Azula mopped the floor with anyone. She was a fierce prodigy and was trained and had the intelligence that made her super resourceful and could use anything around her as a weapon. She was a chameleon with her disguises as keyoshi warriors, managed to manipulate men older than her from warlords to even a gullible king. She was brilliant with strategy and she herself was a weapon. Her only downfall was her lack of empathy for others or being able to show real emotion caught up to her.

[@nobuntuwebster5435]

The episode where they tell their childhood secrets, helps with their characters and the reasons their the people they were. They weren't really bad just misguided like how at that stage of Zuko's life he almost lost his before he found it again.

[@joshuaeckstein5567]

I think the thing that irritates me most with the ending of the Boiling Rock part 2, is how Mai and Tai Lee just surrendered. They both could've easily taken down those guards and escaped themselves. I mean, they are two of the most powerful non-benders in the whole series.

[@Shou_22]

That could be true... But since they're non-benders people that supports Ozai and Azula will always be in their tail... So they'll be caught eventually...

Love is more powerful then fear.. and i think what really causes Azulas downfall was realizing that. That because everything she built everything she had was based on fear and manipulation.. an that it would ultimately all be brought down by love.

She learnt for the worst

[@ph-gk3sh]

If women want to be strong just like men, they should know that mercy and love are weakness.

[@Mariyanthi]

It may be a kid's show but the sadistic nature of Azula is deeply implied in some scenes.. She is actually the female version of Joffrey Baratheon!

[@trevorn5753]

She is NOTHING like Joffrey. Joffrey was a sniveling, cruel and sadistic child pretending to be a king. Azula is a clever, manipulative and talented battle strategist. She’s more like a Cersei or Daenerys. Maybe even an Aerys “Mad King” Targaryen

Everybody loves that line. "You miscalculated. I love Zuko more than I fear you." Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 😊 Edit: I wonder what Sokka x Ty-Lee could have been like (If he hadn't fallen for Suki). She got real flirty pretty much every time she saw him. I mean, sure, she was generally flirty, but it felt like she was especially into him.

[@aso375]

After seeing how Zuko let himself fall into all of Azula's deceptions and traps like a petite lamb, this was satisfying. He challenges Ozai and reveals Azula's deception and then makes her "friends" turn their backs on her. From that moment on he begins to take control and she ends up being dragged by her father into the mud.

17:15 This is the brilliance of this series. At this most serious situation, Ty Lee makes a mumbling sound of 'i donnu' like a common teenager. These little details made all those characters feel alive to audience.
