If you're a fugitive don't you not want to not be noticed by anything, much less a tradition that fugitives practice? I know it's a real life thing but still.

Ohhhh I always wondered why they cut they're hairs and threw them into the river thanks for the explanation

MavenCree Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU. Could NEVER Understand what that part Truly meant.

MavenCree also because in Japanese olden times if a samurai were to get there top knot cut off then they would dramatically decrease in position in the social hierarchy and would be dishonored

@@maxalain9948 well that ponytail Zuko sported marked him as royalty and is much more recognizable than just normal hair, so in every way cutting their hair was the best thing to do

The creators said her style of Kung fu is all about control and manipulation

Theresa Monroe Definitely manipulative, in everything she does, not just combat

lurkingposter Azula - "It's over Zuko, I have the high ground" Zuko - "You underestimate my Uncle"

lurkingposter yeah i watched avatar like a 1000 times

Shiku Bah Lol, that's one strategy. Azula chose subtlety because that's more align with her character.

i knwo what you mean

Diarrhea

@@elijahmanaghaya6038 He didn't ask a question.

@@elijahmanaghaya6038 Fair.

Very subtle

Billy Tessio 😂😂😂

They need some more Toph and Zaheer in their lives

crazy how all those things are a thing too

Damn they’re smart tho

All three of those came true.

I like to love her and I'm sad to hate her.

I just fuckin hate her

@@sg_legendary2154 can't lie, she was a great villain though

Legendary Gaming same

Stevey Illuminati confirmed

Nostalgia Critic pretty much predicted the whole ending and each character's fate. If you read a lot of stories and are familiar with the elements, the plot twists aren't complete surprises

I’m pretty sure they peek at the comments.

JackJuggernaut doesn’t really matter since they finished this series a looong time ago

@@ichasedacrow2 I just meant to say that that's likely how their predictions are so accurate. Whether they do it intentionally or not, I think they wind up having some plot points spoiled for them. And then I think they kinda play it off as if they didn't really know, and pretend they're connecting the dots themselves. I like them either way, but I'm just saying that would explain their crazy accuracy.

Calm down with the explanations in the future, I can very easily see you accidentally spoiling something. Just let them watch

... but I was referring only to what Zuko talked about to Aang on the last episode (how his sister beat him on training since an early age) and to what we see on this episode (Azula using free time to practice instead of leisure, and being very dedicated to perfecting the art), don't think it's really spoiling anything if all that has been said has been seen on the show already ._.

I am a prick who needs to create new points of view on the things they've seen xD But I still don't like to spoil things.

Thiago Freitas You didn't need to say the early age thing, just kinda be cool, you don't need to try to chance their perception of Azula, they were only just introduced to her, the show gives her development just fine

Thiago Freitas I'd like to pick on this one point. You are not born with talent. You are not born with knowledge at all. Mozart was not born with natural talent, he worked extremely hard to achieve it. I think you mean POTENTIAL or APTITUDE. But not talent.

*+Bunnitt W* Exactly! :)

Uploaded 59 minutes ago. Comment three days ago. Is KZfaq drunk again?

TheDark4light Patreon supporters get early acces to *BlindWave* videos. :)

I know this was commented awhile ago, but those 4 aren't the first 4, they're the most recent. At least with Roku and Kioshi.

Yeah, there's so much subtlety to pick up on during subsequent viewings. I love this show.

I highly doubt that. I'm pretty sure he can take out his brother. I wanna go into more in discussion but I don't wanna spoil anything for the fellas

Which is why that certain episode in Season 3 is really great pay off. *Wink wink*

i really hope they don't forget Iroh seeing that spirit dragon. It happens so early and so many things happen after that.. but they should keep remembering it

I love Iroh, but he is overrated as hell as fighter and has just lip-service and hype for the most parts. Zuko showed already far more skill, while the likes of Toph, Azula and Aang(airbending) are galaxies ahead of him in actually shown skill.

K.J.M.K. Agree

+ZeldaFan Does Voices Yeah, but it's still a great episode, one of my personal favorites.

the hana episode.....god I loved that episode

K.J.M.K. Ehhhh Ember Island Players wasn't that badass but it was a good recap.

Luke Fletcher Yes it was, it was huge character development and a very strong episode.

banks She was always insane my friend. From start to finish. We just mistook her insanity for cold cruelty.

banks Iroh acknowledged that she was crazy long before her actual meltdown though. What we saw wasn't her character progressing towards madness, it was her gradually losing control. She hid her instability under a powerful and confident exterior that was chipped away slowly over the series until the facade shattered altogether.

Adam J. Harper I know Doflamigo (If you're talking about One Piece) and I still think azula is a wayyy better villian and overall character simply because I think Dom is quite a cliche 2-dimensional character. To each their own though. I hated that arc, it was so flippin long.

Adam J. Harper Not every character has to have a "big goal". Do all people have some big goal they're working towards? Azula constantly worked towards PERFECTION because that was her image of self-worth. This here is what makes her a better villain. How real she is. Countless people seek perfection because that's how they validate themselves as human beings. This dooms them to constant anxiety and unhappiness. In Azula's case, she didn't know how to gain love and affection, only admiration and fear. She was so unstable that she believed that she couldn't trust anyone because no one could possibly care for the true her. They wrote her like a true sociopath. Being naturally talented wasn't enough, being the model princess wasn't enough. Azula fought to maintain the image of a flawless being and when that image started to crack, so did she. Azula has several layers to her character (way too much to discuss here) that I feel too many people overlook.

I can totally agree with you, Adam. Azula is cool an all, but I always saw her as a spoiled chick with too much power on his hands. Like the guy from Death Note that kills people with his book and says "I'm justice".

Its a symbol of respect and dignity for a tribe or nation etc Its from chinese culture where people who were banished had to cut off their hair

@@beastmasterbg Japanese Samurai would sometimes cut off their top knot to throw away their societal status, that's what Iroh and Zuko did. The Fire Nation is heavily inspired by Japan.

YES!

Blind Wave yesss awesome!!

YAAAAYYYY!! thank you guys keep up the great work

awesome news guys. there's some awesome things in book 2 for you guys!

THANK YOU SO MUCH 😣😢😂😭🙈🙉🙊🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏💀

I don't think they'll love her, but rather they'll appreciate her as a good villain. None of them strike me as people who root for the villain.

Yeah, yah. No, I'm meant that. Like, a good villain for a good series. "Rooting" is not the right word, but the villain has to win, for the heroes to make a big comeback.

I think Eric roots for the villain: Reverse-Flash

Pedro Vieira They don't ever love her

@@COSMEREAUDIO You're still tripping then.

spot on

its more than just that. The cutting off of a person's top-knot was a significant event in traditional Japanese culture. Voluntary removal of one's top-knot, as performed by Zuko and Iroh, was considered a renouncement of title, social status, and pride. it was to show they were no longer prince's of the fire nation

No I don’t think she used her fire in this episode yet

Dude, it was definitely lightening. What are talking about? 😂😂

if you've seen both avatar and korra too, you would realise how many of the things they discussed after the episodes come out to be true. Its crazy how good their predictions/expectations are and calvin just like "oh yeah".

Jeryl Abraham seriously I was like "I can't fucking wait till they progress and see these ideas flourish!"

He hasn't seen Korra though, and some of the stuff they asked is answered in that series.

And yet he still says “Eroh”

Good Points. Point 1 - O love Azula, even if I don't fully get her. She's a psyco (family issues or not) and I just accept that. The way she reacts to both the world, friends, to victories and disapointments is the most interesting thing. Also, she unapologetically kicks all the asses possible. I love her! Point 2 - I used to like the "previously on" thing because it actually showed useful data, sometimes from several episodes prior, and often I'd have watched those like a year before or so, it kinda helped remember some details or people, so we wouldn't be like "what's with that couple with the baby... I think I've seen them before tho" or "oh my god, that is so deus ex machina". IN THIS CASE, with the boys, it's not necessary at all. It's all fresh (and will be especially because they discuss and take notes) and the ONLY thing the previous scenes will do is spoil the plot for that particular episode.

I agree. A story has to start somewhere!

It's usually typical of every good show where the first season is subpar. Once you're hooked onto the characters, then It's easier to introduce more interesting twists, plots and characters.

I know right? happens to me every time my son.

You just know there's trouble right around the corner ;)

Two a week now, baby Wheeeeeee!!!

I never even knew the schedule lol

Eric had to witness the Beast Iroh on the weekend!

I'm sure the crew appreciates your nice words as well. You ever thought about joining the BW Discord? It's got hundred of real friendly and great fellow Wave Riders. And we have tons of awesome discussions. Including about Avatar discord.gg/yKEabMx

Dan Pham Thanks! I'll look into it.😆

what a loaded mf sentence-

Love how Eric is just dumbfounded.

I saw that too XD

Ikr she is one of the best villains, so cold and calculating

She's so badass. I love her too.

Did you hate how she acted in the end

Agreed. And season 3 was just perfect for her character growth.

Latrae Osborne the only thing this show doesn't do well is azusa back story. unless you read the comics you won't fully understand what makes her tick

wouldnt it technically be 4

wait how so? this would be awesome if true

For this week for example: On Monday they uploaded 1x20 on YT and 2x1 on EA. On Friday they will release 2x1 on YT and 2x2 on EA.

Dan Pham you're right dont know why i thought four

Yeah, but you can do that once, the week after they will release 1 episode you already watched, and there remain 2.
