is a

known for its fury and rage the masters

often lack spirituality and respect for the culture that the other nations have they even killed the

last

of the Dragon beings who truly represent the duality of fire and its fodder at least that is what the path has been told after the fire lord sozin dries up the fire nation entered a period of darkness although the fire nation has several stars such as teachers Jeong Jeong and PN Dao there are two in particular who illuminated the entire country the story of Iroh and Zuko to me will always be the most moving story because of how it embodies forgiveness and unwavering commitment. unconditional love son of fire lord azulon and brother of Ozai Iroh was once a famous general of the Fire Nation the great general Iroh the dragon of the West were names that followed Iroh until he became known as a traitor and he once great general Remo in The Light of War led his team to take down the legendary city of Ba Sing se and on his team was his own son, Prince Luton, meanwhile, in the Fire Nation, Zuko, Iroh's nephew and Ozai and Ursa's son was still young in a fateful day.

The day a lieutenant was killed on the battlefield, so after 500 days in the impenetrable city, the IRA decided to withdraw its troops, ending the siege early and without completing it at home. Ozai asked his father to make him heir to the throne, but as Oolong he would not only deny his request, but would punish Ozai for even having such thoughts against his older brother, especially after the death of his only son, in retaliation. Azulon called for Zuko's death, however, Ursa, the current

light

of Zuko's life, protected his son and carried out a plan to kill Fire Lord Azulon.

By saving her son but effectively banishing herself, it's important to note that Ursa constructed Zuko's very identity, one that he would base his entire life on; she would constantly instill in Zuko that he is someone who doesn't give up no matter the odds, no matter the circumstances. situation however with his departure Zuko was left alone with his sadistic sisters Ulla and the now Fire Lord Ozai whom Zuko aspired to please looking back at Iroh I want to focus on his decision to go back if we look forward in time I wrote to the sugar that should not give in to despair that in times of danger hope is what one gives to oneself times hope is something you give to yourself that is the meaning of inner strength when I lost my role Lu 10 he lost his world he lost his will to fight and Iroh did not allow anger and revenge to feed and he did not lose hope.

IRA could have unleashed its fury on Ba Sing se and continued its fierce siege to avenge his son. Instead, the IRA set out on a journey to find itself at its lowest point. was open to a big change who Iroh was and what he wanted at a crossroads of destiny IRA decided to choose good instead of returning to his father and his brother's son IRA searched the world, including the spirit world, for his son, where he would discover a greater understanding of the world and have a greater appreciation for the Four Nations in different cultures and ideals, he would even learn to redirect

light

ning by observing the waterbenders.

IRA would even meet and forgive the legendary dragons and receive the title Dragon of the West, but the IRA had still lost his son and was in storage, so the general, upon his return to the Fire Nation, would focus on the abandoned prince to ensure that he was in good hands and always taken care of during a war meeting in the Fire. National war room when Zuko spoke out against the general and then his father's IRA was there when his father burned almost half of his face. IRA was there and when his father banished him. IRA was there to tend to the marked and now banished Prince for Zuko to track. the world to find what he believed was missing the honor of him embodied in the

avatar

throughout the first book.

Prince Zuko is introduced as the angry antagonist who competed with Admiral Zhao in his quest for the

avatar

; well, he seemed a little young to be in command of a ship and To be building up so much anger, there are moments in the beginning where Zuko is humanized, for example, when he screams during his agony Chi and during the storm where he saves the members of his ship instead of choosing to go after the avatar even through disrespect. and the trouble Gaea caused him when Zhao was being attacked by the ocean spirit fused with angin. Zuko still extends his arm to try to save him.

There was something good inside Zuko. The first book highlighted Zuko's desperation and the fury he often unleashed on his uncle. berating him and yelling at him, it was often difficult to see where Zuko's morals lied and the second book was the most difficult not only for the Prince of the Fire Nation but also for Iroh, although in different ways you allow yourself to slip down that path and you You surrender to your baser instincts for Zuko would give him a new perspective based on humility, as he and Ira were declared criminals of the Fire Nation. He was no longer the proud Prince of the Fire Nation.

He was now a refugee from the Earth Kingdom forced to feel the effects of the war from ground level, that's why he encounters the song in the Cave of True Lovers episode, that's why only in Zuko does he learn that The war has affected everyone, no one has felt the greatness of the fire nation. Zuko is shown the lifelong hatred that people had for his country and at the end of the chase episode Zuko in a brief moment shows the importance of the IRA to him when the avatar was near him but his uncle was beaten by a Zula, does not think twice before siding with the IRA and in the next episode, bitter work, IRA instructs suco on the importance of the four elements and the Four Nations, as well as teaching him how to redirect lightning, one of the most important skills Zuko learns.

Oh, I can't create lightning because it's not. at peace with himself Zuko until his design is a character that represents duality half of his face has scars half of his face is not Zuko wields two broad swords is the duality of himself the duality of his family and all the opposites of his life teachings and teachers and the duality of good and evil that are fighting within him. Iroh and Zuko then become true refugees from the Earth Kingdom and start a new life in Ba Sing by working in a tea shop where they later offered me their own tea.

The Store in the Ba Sing Se Tales Zucco's tale takes him on a date that presents a different side of Zuko, one that highlights his discomfort. Zuko is always very nervous and upset, so seeing this new side of Zuko was strange, but welcome. Iroh, his story was one of the saddest moments in the series. I Rose Tail fell on the day of his son's death, where he sang a heartbreaking song for his little soldier. This episode also demonstrated the depth of I Rose's kindness in helping each and every person she comes across. again, which really emphasizes how the death of his son affected his view of the world.

Iroh used to make jokes about burning this city to the ground and now he's one of its humble residents serving tea to everyone. There is nothing wrong with a life of peace and prosperity. I suggest that you think about what you want from your life and why, although this new life for the Prince of the Fire Nation was a life of peace, it was not the life what he wanted when he found out Appa was missing. Zuko went on a trip. I looked for him and found him, but before he could do anything with the Bison, Iroh found him and his uncle would utter one of the most chilling words in the series.

Is it a destiny that someone else has tried to stop in you, who you are and? What do you want and this line is Zuko's sole purpose for the entire series and what arrow has been following him because of this idea of ​​identity and desire? Zucco's life changed at age 13, marked, stripped of his honor and tasked with hunting down the avatar and even despite a new life built for him and his uncle, it was not a life he wanted, the Prince of the Fire Nation up to this point had only one goal: to find the avatar, in the past they never had any desire in this world.

He didn't want to become the greatest firebender in the world. He didn't want to save the world. He didn't want to help his father defeat the other nations. All he wanted was to be next to his father again and be a child once again. be Prince Zuko, which explains why he never thinks about anything, he just wants to find the avatar so he can go home where he hasn't been in three years, so when Iro begs him to choose good, this goes against everything. what your mind knows and sends. body and spirit in a metamorphosis however when he also takes him down with the only thing he wants is his honor Zuko undoubtedly chooses his honor and the young prince can be blamed this is the goal of his life finally fulfilled all he has to do is take the decision but in the process he abandons the only person who was by his side the whole time and would later berate his uncle for not supporting him, so after this election I want to take the time to put myself in the shoes of the Irish, we can assume which since Luton's death and Ursa Arrow's departure has been on Zucco's part.

Arrow has been close to Zucco since he was a child and the death of his own son brought him much closer to his nephew. Irish surely saw the way I always neglected the boy. and he cared for him after his brother left permanent scars on his own son. Imagine the horror of your nephew, who could do no wrong, being burned by your own brother when the entire Fire Nation turned its back on the banished Prince. I ro stuck by his side like a true father to Zuko a week after Zuko was burned, who was by his side from the Fire Nation to the Western Air Temple, the Southern and Northern Water Tribes, and the Kingdom.

Land. The IRA stood by him and even assisted in the search for him. The IRA was the only one. person in the entire world at this moment who saw the potential for good in the prince of the Fire Nation, who saw Zuko as worthy as someone who belonged in this world, the only person who was abandoned in seconds at the mere thought of regaining your honor and the acceptance of your father, born in you along with all the conflicts, is the power to restore balance to the world and, over the course of the first five chapters of the third book, Zucco's inner turmoil becomes In rage towards the world around him and begins to doubt whether or not he will be angry alive whether or not his father will find out that he did not kill Aang and why Azula would lie about this, the Prince of the Fire Nation has become emotional and angry than usual, which is highlighted on the beach while Zuko does regular chores. like bringing ice cream to May, but when things don't go his way, he gets very angry and when May talks to other children, he becomes aggressive and jealous when he retreats to his family's old vacation home to see old memories of his family.

When they were Once a family, Zuko burns these memories to create a fire and I personally like to believe that this is one of the

last

consequences for the prince. The idea of ​​him as a family completely changed, so when all the teenagers start talking about their lives. and his struggles truly paled in comparison to Zuko's, when the banished Prince finally returned home he would learn what he truly wanted and during his time at home that realization began to manifest itself in anger and confusion, in theory Zuko regained his honor. He should be fine, but he was not satisfied, he was not happy that the confusion reached its peak when I wrote to him and told him about the story of Sozin, Roku and the Fire Nation, this was the clearest sign of his destiny and yet so he tried to deny it.

It is in his nature, in his blood, that good and evil are at war with each other, but to end the war and find peace, Zuko needed to choose good and he needed to choose good alone, there was not much Iroh could do to help. . him and that's why I wrote gaining silence towards Zuko would force him to realize this and force him to choose between Iroh and O, the father who had put all his attention and care into him versus the father Zuko was mentally searching for, this was the one of Zuko. lowest point now he was alone his father's love felt superficial his honor was not restored and he had no anger and so he was open to the biggest change in him as he grew up.

We were taught that the Fire Nation was the greatest civilization in history in The Day of the Black Sun Zuko would face Ozai for me this was the second most compelling moment in Zuko's journey. Not only did she confront his father but she finally understood Iroh and showed his appreciation for him without shame. Zuko finally confronted a man who was responsible for his suffering andHe forced me to listen to my father just for speaking out of turn, my father who challenged me as a thirteen-year-old boy to an Agni Kai. How is it possible to justify a duel with a child?

Zuko decides to join Aang and the team to help them. defeat Ozai, but Zuko not only does that, he helps anger the true source and history of firebending and teaches him firebending. Zuko helps Sokka rescue her and Suki's father and helps Katara in her search for her mother's killer. All of these events led to him meeting Iroh Zuko needed to apologize for everything, not only did she also need Iroh to be proud of him and this meeting was the last glimpse of not only Zuko but her relationship. I don't know how I can make it up to you.

I was never angry with you. I was sad because I was afraid you were lost. Zuko apologizes and Arrow without hesitation forgives him. I truly believe IRA cried tears of joy during this moment. For three years, Zuko had been lost on a search. for honor not only that, but the last time he saw his nephew he had returned to his father's side, so his greatest fear might have come true, for all he knew, Zuko had good and evil within him. him and could have chosen evil, it had been weeks since they saw each other and Iroh escaped, but Iroh always had unwavering faith in his nephew.

Ruin is new, that moment was all he could have told Zuko about his fate in book one, when he was chasing the avatar, but what good would he have been now? IRA finally saw his mature nephew, his mature son, who had an heir different from him, he met the dragons Renan Shah, he faced his father, he joined the avatar, he lost his way but he found everything alone and IRA could not be more proud of how his arc would actually end. Zuko would then face Azula in the finals. Agni Kai and Aang would defeat Osa, ending the war and making Zuko the new Fire Lord to usher in a new era of peace. in the world I think what makes Zuko one of the best written characters on television is the amount of time the writers let him make mistakes how many times Zuko makes the wrong decision because he is accompanied by Iroh we know what potential Zuko has for good .

Potential is next to him every step of the way in the Earth Kingdom, when he lives as a refugee and starts a new life with his uncle, he seems to have changed only to find Appa again and it seems he would have done anything. thing to get it. his hands in a and then lets go, we will go and then in the crystal catacombs when he chooses between iro and Azula joins us Allah and the Fire Nation Zuko has failed and failed to the point where hope is lost for him where Really It seemed like he was a lost soul, but he came back.

Iroh is a character that many of us hope to become and a person we hope to have in our lives, someone who loves unconditionally, someone who will allow us to fail and make bad decisions. Iroh knew from the beginning what kind of person Zuko could be. Zuko could become violent and aggressive like Iroh's brother or become sympathetic and wifelike like him, so while Ursa shaped Zuko's identity and character, his values ​​and morals were sharpened by his uncle Iroh. . He is wisdom personified and a representation that anyone is capable of both good and evil. He is the embodiment of light and goodness.

Iroh is someone who will see the best in us no matter how the rest of the world sees us, just like he did with Suka and Zuko. He is a character that many people identify with, he does not have the purity or innocence of Aang nor the sarcastic humor and the genius of Sokka Zuko is clumsy, worried, lost and angry, he is a character who has failed again and again, a character who has gone through trials and tribulations through all his trauma, pain, and bad decisions, there was someone who still supported his growth and had faith that he could do good.

The legend of Iroh and Zuko was a journey and a story that has its roots in loss and failure, but has blossomed into a story of unconditional and unbreakable love, it is a story of learning and unlearning and I think, above all, it is a story of redemption for the two of them and for their country. Zuko went from a banished Prince to a redeemed King and I returned from the fiery world. general to the wise uncle and father fire is not only destruction but life kindles power the duality of fire is Zuko's duality as Iroh once said it is important to draw wisdom from many places of the four elements and the Four Nations Zuko He traveled the world, made the journey across nations, and lived with the last

airbender

, so who better to redeem and bring his nation back to glory and light than Zuko with the guidance of Iroh?

Fire is the element of power, the people of the Fire Nation. Having desire, will and the energy and drive to achieve what you want, life happens wherever you are, whether you achieve it or not.
