[@Rad1antGeneralZelcina]

Not only that, but he could've freed himself from being frozen. There was a scene in the first season of the show where Zuko was fighting Katara and she froze Zuko almost exactly like Todoroki did. Zuko then freed himself by snorting hot steam. He couldn't move, like Wiz and Boomstick said he needed in order to free himself. He just merely snorted.

[@YurokiHakugaisha]

Todoroki did freeze an entire city

[@wingedbluj1674]

@@Rad1antGeneralZelcina Except Zuko could breathe as his head was still exposed. As demonstrated in Katara vs Azula, being completely encased in ice to the point she couldn't move, Azula was helpless. Todoroki can do the same thing and completely freeze him solid. Not to mention the fact the only time we've seen Zuko unleash city block level fire attacks was when he was boosted by Sozin's Comet, and normally his attacks just don't match the scale of Todoroki's quirk.

Guys look at the credits at the end before they show who fights next time, Dante Basco did voice Zuko in this death battle

[@magnusm4]

Comparing the shows visually directly. It seemed Todoroki would've won even in the early seasons of his show. In his match for the exams he froze the arena so fast to such a degree that even if Zuko had lightning reflexes, he wouldn't have any time to make any movements to cast fire. Even then they only showed that scale of fire during the comet. While Todoroki basically has an ice age in no time without flinching.

[@PocketShirt]

I feel like it could’ve gone either way, even with todo winning my only problem is we’ve seen Zuko break out of a block of ice in the North Pole at night, and that was season 1. Him being frozen during the day time when the sun makes fire benders stronger and he loses like that? Feel like he was downplayed in that aspect. But we all know they’d just have group therapy with Iroh anyway if they ever met.

[@JaggedSallad2004]

It’s moments like these that make me wish Death Battle made alternate ending videos to certain death battles. Cuz I. would. love to see Todoroki and Zuko hanging out because of how similar they are (both have terrible fathers, both can use fire, and both have a burn mark on their face)

[@Unknownslenderman]

Both also appreciate their moms, are close with tea-loving people (Iroh and Momo), are of the same age, are just as awkward, and went through a redemption arc that turned them into more genuine peaceful heroes involving their respective universes' best hero in-training with inherited power-accumulated abilities, all despite the fact that defeating said best hero in-training to prove themselves to their dads was their original goal.

Another thing they have in common is a mentally unhinged sibling who can use blue fire, though Azula is younger than Zuko, while Toya is older than Shoto.

[@josephpanno6816]

@@imaloony8 Probably due to contracts most anime studios (especially Funimation) make it so their VA's have to sign contracts so that they can only voice the character in said content and not anywhere online or in fan projects. It's why they got DBZA Vegeta's VA to do Vegeta and Keji Tang to voice All Might, instead of Chris Sabat despite him, I believe being on DB before as another character. Same reason why they likely couldn't get Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt to voice Sasuke and Mitsuru despite them both working on other RT projects.

[@ryancarson6962]

Wyndell Lee Actually with recent information from the manga it’s dubious wether Shoto’s claims about the Quirk marriage was actually what really happened. Doing calculations on his would show that at most he would’ve been relatively young when he married his wife, like right out of adolescence. And it was revealed that Shoto wasn’t even his first choice as a successor, it was his oldest brother Toya, who possessed a stronger flame quirk but had his mother’s weak constitution, and he was about ten to twelve years older than Shoto. So with everything the Manga showed it’s unlikely that his wife was actually strong armed or forced into anything.

Lava bending is for earth benders. Zuko has used fire bending with his dual swords before to do some cool techniques. He might have stood a chance if the fight was during sozin's comet and not boosting todoroki's fire with it but I'm still not sure

Firebending is harder in areas with cold temps and high humidity. For instance, at the North Pole, the defenders forced back a firebender armada multiple times, and those Imperial bastards came prepared for class with ALL the dirty tricks. Zuko went into this already suffering a pretty large handicap, and had no ability to deal with Todoroki's massive OP PLZ NERF ice walls. Tbh, Zuko lost this pretty hard going in.

Zuko replies with "Quirks? What are you on about Avatar?" Todoroki: "I will not have someone with the same powers as my father best me! You will die!" FIGHT! Fight Ending: Todoroki: "Look!

Realistically if these two met Zuko would see himself in todoroki. Hed act as a surrogate brother for todoroki. Iroh would offer tea and life advise while the todoroki siblings would gladly welcome the two into their family. Todoroki gets the worlds greatest uncle while Zuko gets to see what its like to have siblings who care for you. Now for the real question In a fight between Uncle Iroh and Gentle Criminal, how long would it be until they sit down and have a cup of tea?

I think it's worth mentioning that fire actually needs 3 elements to burn: heat, fuel and oxygen! You remove jus ONE of those elements, simply put, no fire! That's how the three different fire extinguishers work and why in Pokémon the Fire-Type actually has three weaknesses, Water, Rock and Ground! The water cools (best used on woods, paper, metal), "removing the heat", CO2 or Rock (best used on electrical fires) starves by cutting off the oxygen supply and CBS Foam and Ground smother (best used on petroleum and oil based fires), dissipating the fuel! There is another one, used in kitchens, the fire blanket as none of those three would work in that environment! You DO NOT use water on a chip pan fire!
