Wasn't Iroh very similar to Ozai? I thought that they were very similar until Iroh's son died and he became a better person through grief.

@@onebigfox8310 Iroh was the more warm between the two always, he just was more successful in the Army and was their father's favorite tho Iroh was still himself. He just viewed the war as something that needed to be done up until he felt first hand of what the war could do by losing his only Son/Child.

@@guess6635 Ok thanks for clarifying. I just thought so becuase of his tone in 1 flashback.

@@onebigfox8310 you're correct tho. Once he got on the throne he wouldn't be as ruthless as Sozin, Azulon, and Ozai tho he would of continued the War believing it was the right thing and would of crushed the other nations if they didn't comply. He was good guy at home tho a was good at doing bad things for the war until he lost Lu-Ten.

i'd imagine they were similar to azulo and zuko; azulo was always cold hearted while zuko was warmer and empathetic. zuko was hardened by his traumatic experiences and exile. had zuko not been exiled i'd imagined that, like iroh, he'd do his duty to support the fire nation too but be more personable like iroh. i just feel the writers made a lot of parallels with the relationships between characters

Galaxy_Stampy well it was well made show and I love how they gave each character their own lore although Didn’t like the legend of kora it didn’t have the spark The last airbender had

*FOREfathers

*proceeds to splash water on him*

Four fathers? I thought Ozai had 1 father? it is: FOREfathers

Forefathers*

Because Ursa hit him where it hurt him the most: His pride and ego. For a narcissistic sociopath like Ozai, that is a very hard blow.

@@jorgebersabe293 Yeah, and only she had the power to do it. Someone whom he had completely dominated and controlled, instilled fear, and never would have thought shed break free, and even having a shred of some possessive sick form of love toward her.... if u can even call it that. It must have stung even more so. For her to finally break free and see him for what he truly is, and unleash it and fully confront him. Just as zuko did. Yet zukos confrontation was like a baby conpared to this. Ozai probably never felt that powerless in his life. He was the one broken. Ursa broke him His narcissim persisted even after complete humliation and defeat, even after losing his bending, losing his freedom... still he believed his own grandeur. That he can still control everything. That he still had all the power. But ursa truly broke him... he no longer had any control. He was nothing.

@@chikachikaslimshady1 And all of his evil was because of his massive inferiority complex towards Iroh. Sociopaths aren't born, are made and in the case of Ozai was because of years of being belittled, neglected, abused, treated as a spare and constantly being compared to Iroh and being reminded of how superior Iroh is.

Jorge Bersabe Yeah good point, totally agree. They even touvhed on it in the main series when they showed baby picture of Ozai. I need to read that story pertaining to Irohs and ozais childhood

@@chikachikaslimshady1 At practical effects, Ozai was the Zuko of his generation; A person with an inferiority complex towards his more talented sibling, who happened to be the favourite child of their father....except Ozai never grew up from that mindset, serving as what Zuko could have become if he let his envy and inferiority feelings consume him. If Zuko lacked Ursa and Iroh's guidance, he would have very easily turned out like Ozai.

His story wasn’t really compelling to me tho he’s really you’re typical want to rule the world mustache twirling type of villain

In the show, he came off as one dimensional,Azula was the real villain. The comics did well to flesh out Ozai's character though.

@@InfiniteSpaceRanger He was a monster who just happened to be born into a monarchy.

Honestly, even when he lost his powers and was in prison you have the slight pleasure knowing he can't do shit

Pffff... hey, at the very least he saw some worth in Zuko for his own pride... Think if he just saw him as a nuisance and a pointless thing?

Even Vader and Shredder were better fathers. And let me remind you the former cut his one of kid’s hand off and let the other watch her planet get blown up while the latter kidnapped his kid and made her fight her actual father.

You're right

Don't forget the shapshifter from gravity falls even thought he only appeared in one episode he was frightning I got chils when he said"should I be one?or the other?how about both!"and then turned into a grotesque mix of the twins like the creature from The Thing movie.

guillermo acosta Agreed

Holy shit Skips DOES sound similar to Ozai!

Ozai after learning Azula's lying to his face about The Avatar being dead: "I'm gonna go find some milk."

Im deaaddd

Zuko: i di- Ozai: bro like shut the fuck up

I believe it's spelled "Ursa".

Ranjith kumar+ Just imagine a story, where Azula was able to overpower him, I highly doubt that would happen though, cause Azula is scared of him, but that would be a crazy fanfic though

@Seyi Awokoya nah

Ranjith kumar your grammar is triggering me

@@Snow-xd4rv azula isnt scared of him, he is just the only one that she feels truly cares for her. Since she felt her mother cared only for zuko. Azula is the prodigy manipulated by ozia so of course she has deep respect for her farher

I think Ozai was never meant to be a character in the same way that Zuko or Azula was, the Firelord was a means to an end, a reason for our hero to jump into action. In the episodes leading up to the finale, when Aang decides to kill the firelord or spare him, it isnt necessarily about the firelord and taking his life, its about aang's internal struggle in sacrificing his morality (to kill the firelord) in service of saving the world, Aang has to decide is taking one life necessary to save the world, in other words, the firelord isn't a character here but a vessel to tell us more about Aang and his morality, the choices he has to make, and the greater the conflict, the greater Aang's resolve.

Well clearly Azula is the best enemy in the show, but it was meant for Ozai to be mysterious. How one person can have such an affect on the world and Aang, and no one knows what he looks like.

@@thesuperframe I think this show is at its core, a "coming of age" story. It deals with serious themes, such as war, loss, responsibility etc., all of which compliment and enhance the show, aiding in making it great. However, it's really about young people finding themselves, while dealing with high stakes. Aang is coping with the huge responsibility of being the Avatar when he's just a playful kid, and Zuko is grappling with making the right choices due to pressures and presumed expectations from his father and the Fire Nation, causing conflicting loyalties. Katara is still coping with assuming big responsibilities, as she's had to after the loss of her mother. On a more finite basis (per an episode), Katara is coping with feelings of vengeance for the man that killed her mother, Sokka is coping with the insecurity and upset had for not being much help to Team Avatar, due to having no bending powers etc. The older people in the show have already found themselves - Uncle Iroh is an excellent example of this. He's old and as wise as wise can get. He's sure of himself. Sokka's sword teacher is sure of himself too, as is Aang's original fire-bending teacher, and circling back to the original topic of this conversation, Firelord Ozai is, as is General Zhai for that matter. Azula, the real main villain of the show, is also finding herself like the younger characters, hence her mental breakdown towards the end of the show. Mai and Ty Lee are of course, finding themselves too - It's all clearly there in the terrific episode, "The Beach", and they ultimately side with Zuko. Firelord Ozai having character development wouldn't have fit in with the "coming of age" story Avatar is telling as it wouldn't fit with the show's take. Him not having character development is also perfectly logical, considering he is an adult and knows how to get what he wants out of life now.

Even my dog is more compelling than a glorified brat.

No point

Great theory! It would explain why his bending was came late. He wasn't even fully developed yet himself let alone his bending.

If you are related to Iroh, you just kinda have to like tea, even if you are totally evil.

I couldn’t help but laugh

Well Ursa wasn’t there to stop him.

Indeed, he is quite the genius if I say so myself.

@@robinsonbright2671 no

Super King Ghidorah I mean he redirected lighting at Ozai and it pissed Ozai off so that kinda counts little bit but it’s not the same as how aang took his ass down and removed his bending.

zuko redirecting ozai's lightning was enough of a physical reckoning between the two. in an actual duel zuko would have been outmatched. plus, zuko understood that it had to be the avatar to take down ozai.

@@jadenkensbe5416 he woulda killed ozai he just didn’t want ozai too look like a weak baby

​@@abcapone2912Azula's heart is full of anger.

Actually the reason Azula turned out like that was because of Ursa and Azula.

Shrek is the best franchise and it tops anything. That’s not true. She was in a an abusive relationship/marriage, and she had to take care of Zuko constantly. She tried to reach out to Azula, but she was very far gone.

Ursa couldn’t really do as much as she could with Azulon and Ozai controlling everyone. She didn’t want to be there or be married to him in the first place. She is also abused by Ozai.

Only difference is that Thanos is somewhat a decent person in a twisted way. He did what he did for others not himself

@@sofiaisaweeb2112 How is killing half of all life in the universe _less_ evil than wanting to torch a continent?

Like Cersei was born lucky and tyrion was lucky to be born

A child is 100% likely to get a mental disorder in their life if they have lived with a parent that has one ... seems like Azula got more than just one disorder. her mother is Depressed and angsty over her childern, her father is a pyromanic psycopath with alot of self esteem amoung many other things...no wonder she is so messed up. take this with a grain of salt since their world is fictional and everyone would most likely kill either.

Minato AudiPH Voldy is a hypocrite. Which makes everything he does seem cringy. It’s like someone who can’t swim laughing at someone who is drowning because they can’t swim.

Not at all. Ozai was the most poorly written villain I have ever seen. He essentially ruined an otherwise incredible show.

That format works so well on ozai lol

Yes but the fire lord was stronger

ozai was a more experienced firebender and, unlike aang, had murderous intent.

It only fuels real fire benders. Birth right fire benders. Aang was born an air bender

@@ccf3195 you can actually see Aang shoot a comet powered fire blast a couple times during their fight. But because of his lack of experience and since he had the other 3 elements he was able to wield, he chose to use it sparingly.

His fire IS stronger. Watch the fight again, his fire is just as strong as Ozai‘s. Ozai just has much MUCH more experience as a firebender which means he is a master in that field while Aang is only a normal bender. The fire is stronger but Ozai is better at it basically.

Same, he's one of the most evil, despicable, irredeemable characters I've ever come across, but I find him endlessly fascinating

Actually, Ozai is a small man. He is a man who craves for everything that his father and brother has, yet can never get it. Azulon preferred Iroh and had no problem with killing Ozai's offsprings just to prove a point. Iroh admits he had seen Ozai be a sore loser whenever he loses to his older brother in a game of Pai Sho, implying that this has happened many times. Ozai always had the inferiority complex and he projects it on anyone he deems to be weaker than himself. That's why he's a bully. If you want to know Ozai's true character, look at his reaction when he encounters an enraged Avatar with the intent to kill him. He has no bravado or even the blood-knight thrill of a challenge. He was scared like a child and flee like a coward. Underneath all of his scariness and firebending, he is just the personification of Prince Zuko's worst traits given human form.

@@evanbao93 Wanting something you cannot have is not a sign of being a small man. Imagine yourself want to go to university and study the thing you want and the laws of your state and your own fafter tell you "Absolutely not! Only your brother /sister can do that!" wouldn't you be angry too? Azulon was another abusive parent. That doesn't mean Ozai is a small man. A parent should never pick favorites yet alone in such a monstrous way. Once again Azulon preferring Iroh and wanting to kill Ozai's off springs to prove it doesn't make Ozai a small man. It only makes Azulon a horrible father and grandfather. Also if Ozai was really a small man he wouldn't have worked his butt off at firebending forms all his life. No matter what someone can say of Ozai and what a great psychopath he was, no one can blame him that he took things for granted. He worked for what he got (even if in the end it was his final scheme that gave him the throne). Azulon was as much of a scoundrel as Ozai was. That doesn't make him a small man. Being a sore loser once again is not a sign of someone being an old man is just signs that you have bad temper and bad character. Also Ozai appears to be a clinical psychopath and psychopaths are known for their sudden tantrums and irregular temper. Ozai loses it because in his mind failure is horrible no matter where it comes from (mentality Azula gets later). If Azula plays a friendly volleyball game like a life and death battle the same way Ozai thinks that losing anything humiliates him. Even if we take that someone has an inferiority complex that doesn't necessarily make them small. Like I said he did work to get what he wanted with all the means he had and at the same time started off a war against the known world by using everyone around him. There are many types of bullies and not all of them are harmless brats who are just peacocks without any mental strength to make their threats facts. So... Seeing a stronger opponent and try to run away from destruction makes you a small man? Azula ran away multiple times too when she knew that she had no chance of winning a battle. Facing Avatar to full avatar form was clear suicide and Ozai was neither a fool nor was suicidal. He ran around in circles trying to either avoid Aang completely or regroup and find a solution. Aang was running around a lot before (Combustion Man being only one of those times or even Ozai himself. He even locked himself into a stone till he managed to get to Avatar state) . The only act I would count as "small man" was when Ozai tried to strike Aang on the back but taking under consideration the "win or die" mentality of his, that again explains it. Running away was a sign that he found someone stronger than him so he got scared? Even if that is the case human instinct of self-preservation is one of the strongest around. We often see the usual "hero go forth even if it means their death" but let's face it the normal reaction is to get scared. The one I truly appreciate as perfectly brave is Zuko who did face his father and his sister and even the Avatar knowing full well that he had neither the Avatar's power nor the ultimate skill of his family at bending. Another act might as well be the fact that he sent assassins after his wife's previous love. Knowing though full well how much he wanted to hurt her we can tell why he did it. Plus let's face it the writers want to make him a villain in every way. "Small man" hints someone that is all big talk without actions. From what I saw Ozai was more than capable of doing what he was promising. A bad father? No doubt. A sore loser, psychopath without consciousness? Absolutely. Small man? No I don't think so from what I saw. Not as a total at least. In any case she said that to him only after he was completely harmless against her. Plus she even decided to erase the memory of her very children because they are connected to him. That doesn't make her much greater than what she accuses him of. Of course living years under fear and insecurity can change someone forever and scar them for life but still...

THANK U FOR THIS

Sure he’s a small man but he almost ruled the entire world about 70-80 percent of the world was his to command.

@@matthewmorrison2748 I personally am skeptical about that. As you said he nearly ruled 80 per cent of his world. He was a good schemer and commanded an army. Now what makes a man great or small is debatable. Would you call Hitler a small man? Around 80 per cent of Europe will say no. He was a madman? Absolutely. But what he promised he did. That's how I see Ozai. I can't call a "small man" someone who started a crusade of this size and didn't even cower to face the Avatar (even if he underestimated him) to get his purpose to be "small" because he seemed capable of making his threats into action. So yeah I am skeptical about that statement. As well as who and when they called him "small". Ursa called him that when he too had no more weapons to fight back but empty intimidation when he was stopped off his power and locked in a cell. That's why I kind of see this pattern here. Just saying.

@@stephaniewolfe6604 They're talking about all of the fire lords BEFORE Sozin. Also known as Ozai's grandfather, genius.

@@BuyorsellwithkimSozin and Roku were best friends until fully-grown adults, meaning Sozin was warm and loving at the time. His father technically raised him right. It wasn't until after Roku came back that Sozin talked about the invasion as a Fire Lord. Sozin = Fire Lord = his father already died. I'm pretty sure all the previous Fire Lords did not raise their heir to be as ruthless as Sozin's generations. My guess is that Sozin burned off all the evidence because he doesn't want the later generation to learn about the Fire Nation's past, he (thinking his army will concurs the whole world) doesn't want any young to know the fire empire (if won) used to be very weak. Sozin said his nation is in a place it has never been in term of wealth. He also got the avatar which will make it easy as heck to take over any country (as a lot of them are not civilized). Using that wealth to colonized other kingdoms make his nation even greater in wealth and power

He could have if he wanted to, and Ozai would not be able to defend himself without his firebending, but Zuko was always the bigger man.

Both also share that at their core they are nothing more than small, insecure people who are so desperate to look big and powerful and with hearts so small that they never let anyone inside them, not even themselves.

No shit, Sherlock

He was much more than that. Saying this is a big understatement

i didnt hate him much before i read the comics

More like an insecure person desperate to look big and powerful that he never learnt to love, not even himself.

That's putting it a hell of a lot lightly
