And this is a great set up for The Blue Spirit episode to show how Aang and Zuko are similar, both on a journey to redeem themselves.

MP36BRAVO

I'm new to the series and catching up. but this episode is arguably in my top 5 throughout the series. POWERFUL story in an engaging way that still has humor without taking away the impact and balancing the dark and lights of both characters by having zukos hopeful in contrast to aangs trauma and then the flip with seeing zukos trauma after aangs tale has been given allowing us to breathe between both trauama.s beuatiful episode all around eidting voicing all of it.

Viktor Dragov

It’s really important to keep in mind, in this whole show, both Zuko and Aang are the main characters ❤️ That’s why all of the episodes are half and half

AllyBoo124

Zuko’s story breaks my heart. He was only 14 and didn’t fight back while his father stood in front of him and burned his face in front of a full audience. And his father sent him on this mission never truly believing Zuko would ever capture the avatar as he had been missing for 100 years. Like it’s so terrible

AllyBoo124

Only master airbenders get the blue arrow tattoo, aang is the youngest person to master air bending which is why none of the other kids have one but the elders do

Nightmareman99

As other said the arrow is just the sign of a master Airbender. If I remember correctly to become a master you must invent your own airbending move, Aang invented the air scooter making him the youngest airbending master at the time. He was later replaced by Jinora from The Legend of Korra, Aang’s granddaughter

Nightmareman99

I will say that the live action series did Zuko’s part of this episode as good or better with the context they added to his character. While on the otherhand they did Aang’s part much worse. Changing the whole plot of Aang running away to him simply wanting some air. It took away all of the trauma of his character. Also you should recognize the voice actor for the firelord. It’s fkin Mark Hamill!!! Dudes was has played Luke, The Joker, and even the gd Fire lord dudes truly a legend

colton Lem

Arrow tattoos are for mastering airbending has nothing to do with the avatar

Scottie

Zuko was always the victim, never the villian.

Alex Hefner

wow that's a really cool point! fuck man. i wish i thought of that

Jessica

I love how the two flashbacks were the complete opposites from each other, Aang running away from home and Zuko being banished from home

Marina

ooh sorry, I just noticed that there is a time difference in Hawaii

Rocky Cortez

Yes Aang would stil be the avatar without the tattoo.... the tattoo is something the airbenders get when they reach "mater status"I think I might remember that wrong but they are airbending tattoos and has nothing to do with being the avatar.... Ruko didn't have them fx

Marina

heyy me n friends r waitin' for the world war Z reaction u better be postin' rn we cant wait no more😭🫡

RNikolow

Aka the Joker

schwarz

To clear things up, the arrow has nothing to do with the fact that Aang is the Avatar, it means that he is a Master of Air bending (well being the avatar help to master element) but other monks can be master too without being the avatar, You become a Master when you masterise all techniques and create a new one (the air scooter ball he does in the intro) Plus fact : Aang is the youngest air bender to became a Master and receiving the arrow

Sean Stephens

The more you watch, the more you'll see. Ahh i can't wait for book 2: earth

Joovain

Fire Lord is voiced by Mark Hamill aka Luke Skywalker

Naomi Amayu

Zuko is my favorite character in the whole show. Just you wait

Halima

When Katara says “the Avatar gives people hope” in such a positive way and then Iroh says “the Avatar gives Zuko hope” but in a much more somber and sobering way – chills

Halima

The fact that Iroh knew it too makes their bond that much more special. He basically banished himself just so Zuko wouldn’t be alone.

Oliver

The best episode of s1 period

Daniel Milne

thats actually all humans for the smell part, which is pretty cool tbh. We have something like a 200,000x better ability to pick up the smell of rain than sharks do with blood for example. We detect something called geosmin (had to look it up forgot the name)

Oliver

Finally. The start of Zukos unbelievable phenomenal Charakter Arc 👏 the best written Character of all time

Ethan Schwenzer

He discussed this in a Q&A. He doesn’t because it makes it a nightmare for his editor.

Ethan Honza

Something that always gets me is the Avatar was gone for 100 years. No way Zuko’s father ever expected him to succeed, I’ve always seen it as him telling Zuko to find Bigfoot.

Zombieki11er451

I did

KrYpT

Hey Alex. I think you should try to pause sometimes when you talk about what's going on. I feel like you might miss a couple of things when the characters are saying something. Just a suggestion.

Charlie Fontana

Ur sad that you only watched 4 episodes? Watch more!! Also love how much you like zuko already

Trollofduty007

Fun fact! The Fire Lord is voiced by Mark Hamill! (Luke Skywalker)

Charles Walker

Dude you aren’t ready for late s2-s3 Zuko. There’s one episode that really fucks me up 🏝️(iykyk)

Jake Rush

This episode is top 5 if you count all the multi part episodes together

Mr.Baron von waggy pants

I'm actually glad they did this episode cuz it helps us understand zuko's anger.

TokyoLopez

This episode directly after the great divide lmao insane

Alex

When you get done with most of the shows your watching I think you should give once upon a time a watch or lock and key

crackdobby

As an airbender, you can earn your master tattoos either by mastering all the airbending forms or inventing an entirely new airbending technique. Aang invented the air scooter (that little air ball he like to ride around on) thus becoming the youngest master airbender in history up to that point. Also, when he's in the avatar state, his tattoos glow because they are directly on his xi pathways. For non-airbender avatars only the eyes glow, as you saw with Roku. I felt comfortable yapping this much because none of this is explicitly explained in the show

Cole Romero

Yeah its actually crazy. Old ppl can just sense the weather from anything. I can mainly feel the weather changing by the way it smells outside. Something I got from mh grandparents I think

Josh

Luke Skywalker himself voicing fire lord Ozai

Hello There

This and the next episode are probably my favorites of the season. Also, fun fact—that’s Luke Skywalker himself voicing Fire Lord Ozai!

Daniel Nordbø

The arrows are a sign of an airbender master. Notices how the monks have them. He was just very young when he got them.

Brooklyn

Hey Alex! Just to help answer your question: Aang has the arrow because he earned the tattoos after mastering airbending. Notice all the older air nomads have it . Aang mastered air very young

Red powers

As a kid you would think it'd be cool to be in Aang's position but as an adult you actually do feel bad for Aang. It's sad because Aang was gonna be sent away by the one person that looked out for him. But everyone he knew was ripped away from him regardless. This show is really dark with a lot of adult topics in it that a child wouldn't care or notice.

Mr.Baron von waggy pants

Yeah this is one of the sadder episodes

Chess Red Eagle

Kind of amazing that we go from one of the most hated episodes to one of the absolute best episodes back to back. I think this is when people really realized that this show was something special. It's a masterpiece.
