:) and Dante Basco is the voice actor for both of them. He cautiously reached for it, being careful not to wake her, and read it, his shock growing with every word, as it was a letter written by his mother to Ikem, alluding that he might be his son as opposed to Ozai's.[26]. With the power of Sozin's Comet, Zuko's firebending was enhanced. The insubordinate outburst was seen as a grave insult and Ozai demanded the prince participate in an Agni Kai. dont you think its kinda weird that the name mako is the perfect combination of mai and zuko. At nightfall, the team had set up camp, and Zuko was sitting around the campfire together with Sokka, while Azula slept uneasily away from the group, Aang meditated, and Katara slept next to Appa with Momo. During an ambush by the New Ozai Society, Zuko demonstrated the ability to generate a fire vortex featuring green and purple flames, marking the first known instance that a human had created dragon fire. A spear soon penetrated the carriage, causing Zuko to panic and check on them. As Zuko's caravan made their way through the forest, they were ambushed by the New Ozai Society, who used dynamite to collapse a series of trees to trap them. They also named the character Mako after him since that was short for his real name. Later, he was in his room trying to sleep when Azula came in and mockingly told him that Azulon's punishment for Ozai is that Ozai must kill Zuko, as he wanted him to know what it felt like to lose a first-born child. While Azula subsequently expressed confidence and reassured Zuko that he had restored his own honor, the prince, however, still appeared conflicted and partly regretful about his decision.

In ", In the pilot episode, it is shown that Zuko was originally supposed to have a pet hawk, but it did not make it into the show. His triumph was nothing like he imagined it would be. [4] He is also able to form alliances with people with special skills, such as June,[64] and use them to his advantage.

Sometime later, Zuko noticed that Aang, Katara, and Sokka were preparing Appa to take off. [20], Eventually, Zuko came to realize that his emotional instability over his position as Fire Lord was not caused by the pressures of being a ruler or by the choices he made for Yu Dao, but due to his fear of ultimately becoming the same tyrant as his father was.

When their search brought Zuko in contact with a young child, Kiyi, he displayed the characteristics of a good father, reflecting the parenting style of his mother and Uncle Iroh, by displaying an inquisitive and doting attitude toward the girl. Aang joined Zuko at his table and together they discussed the future of Yu Dao, acknowledging that it could no longer be a Fire Nation colony or an Earth Kingdom town. Zuko already confirmed that he only has a daughter in Legends of Korra season two so General Iroh( General of the United Forces) is Zuko's Grandchild! In his teen years, however, his ability began to develop significantly under his Uncle Iroh's tutelage, most noticeably during the last year of the Hundred Year War. When Suki told Zuko that Iroh volunteered to be his decoy, the Fire Lord became concerned as they did not look alike, but his uncle assured him that the crowd would only see his hand waving from the carriage. During the battle for Yu Dao, Zuko's skills were again on display as he managed to single-handedly overwhelm a large number of Earth Kingdom soldiers with minimal effort and stand on equal footing against General How.

In one of his most widely circulated quotes on the internet, the infamous silver sandwich line comes in a conversation with Sokka about truisms on life. [18], In his early youth, he was schooled by Piandao in the art of fighting with dual broadswords. Soon afterward, Zuko docked at a Fire Nation controlled harbor off the coast of the southwest Earth Kingdom, his ship needing substantial repairs from his encounter with Aang.

[65] During the Siege of the North, he fought Katara while the moon was nearly full. [14] Despite this, he continued to deny Ozai's claims that a Fire Lord's decisions were right by default. Being the exiled son of Fire Lord Ozai, Zuko begins his journey as an outcast who's obsessed with capturing the Avatar in order to restore his status and honor. He believed that he could start anew and "gallivant" around the world helping people, as Azula remarked, much to Aang's dissatisfaction; he believed that Zuko must stay as the leader of his nation to continue ushering a new era of love and peace. Zuko secretly followed his sister Azula, while she had been tracking the Avatar with the Tank train and eventually came across Azula in a deserted town where she and Aang were about to face off. Aang talked to Zuko about the importance of the letter regarding Zuko's possible heritage.

For their actions in the Siege of the North, both Iroh and Zuko were branded as traitors by Fire Lord Ozai, who sent his daughter Azula to track the fugitives and bring them to justice. While walking back, Aang apologized to a quiet Zuko for reacting the way he did before and suggested that they burn the letter, forgetting about finding Ikem, to which the young Fire Lord confessed that he did not have the letter anymore; he had let Azula keep it, and said that they should focus on the task at hand, and later take care of what he should do and be. Zuko managed to down one of the false Kemurikage and demanded to know where her friends were taking his sister.

These traits became dominant after Zuko's fever dreams and hallucinations,[57] as afterward he displayed an optimistic attitude toward life and the world.

Zuko separated his sister from their mother, and they fought a moment longer.

), Like how having the same collar is genetics, like if i wore a red shirt that old guy also wearing a red shirt has to be my father.

[43], After Kuvira had nearly stabilized the entire Earth Kingdom, Zuko traveled to Republic City with his daughter to attend Prince Wu's coronation as the nation's Earth King. While asleep in the ship, Zuko and Aang shared a dream in which the spirits of Ozai and Roku stood behind them as he tried to explain to Aang his conflicting feelings about the Harmony Restoration Movement: the need to protect his people against his initial promise to see the Harmony Restoration Movement through. I would have to say that it would be his grandson with how young new Iroh is. This is perhaps Zuko's most overused phrase: "Honor."

If there's any emo character in Avatar: The Last Bender, it's Zuko.

Right after that, Hakoda started walking over to the other side of the bridge and, at the same time, Gilak sent over the Earth King. He learned that Zaheer and his friends were called the Red Lotus and that their murder of Earth Queen Hou-Ting was only the beginning of their actions.[42]. Azula received the opening she needed and snatched the letter from the pocket of Zuko's tunic. He subsequently went inside the temple, where he attended Jinora's anointment as an airbending master now that she had received her tattoos. Upon returning to the Northern Water Tribe's city, Zuko eventually managed to escape and attacked Zhao for trying to kill him. [35]He also retained a certain penchant for being the source awkward moments when conversing with others, as evidenced by reactions to his revelation to Chiefs Tonraq, Desna, and Eska that he had once hired a combustionbending assassin to kill Aang when en route to P'Li's prison cell. Passing by the tombs of past Fire Lords and a mural of the Sun Warriors, they found a metal door blocking the rest of the passage; Zuko explained that Sozin walled off this section to make it seem like Fire Nation history began with him. Zuko also revealed his calculating abilities and problem-solving skills while accompanying Aang to the Sun Warrior ruins, for example by using his sword to reflect sunlight to hit the temple's sunstone, allowing them to enter the structure. Well-respected as one of Republic City's founders, a statue was erected in Zuko's honor at the center of the plaza outside Central City Station in Republic City to commemorate his many accomplishments. They were not royal guards or special forces and may well have been banished themselves, or were foolishly intent on serving under the popular General Iroh. He was clever, yet hot-headed, often letting his temper get the best of him. [22] Even after all the hardship he suffered at the hands of his sister, Azula, he was still willing to vouch for her, giving her several chances for them to work together in order to find their mother. [1] He continued to insist that he had truly changed, but felt conflicted about his choices afterward, uncomfortable with his betrayal of Iroh, a father figure to him.

After his return to the Fire Nation, Zuko thought he had everything he ever wanted: a position of honor, respect, and his father's love. Plus Iroh said 'My grandfather would respect the Avatar's Instict" So that proves that Zuko is the Grandfather of Iroh since the only firebender who was friends with Aang was Zuko. Initially disbelieving, Aang sought advice from Katara, who nodded in approval, and in seeing this, he hesitantly accepted.

He is recognizable by the distinctive burn scar on the left side of his face from his eyebrow to his cheek, which was given to him by his father, Fire Lord Ozai, shortly before his banishment as a result of an incident in which he unintentionally disrespected his father by speaking out of turn and refusing to duel him. I can only assume this is her son. Luke Penn is a screenwriter, novelist, and pop culture geek with works spanning several mediums including print, film, and web. He battled evenly with Aang, even though he had skillfully used airbending and earthbending. Aang tried to dissuade Zuko from thinking and being relieved of his alleged illegitimate lineage, understanding the ramifications to Zuko's hold of the throne should the contents of the letter be revealed. Bumi is not Zukos son hes Tenzins brother making Bumi Aangs son.

He attempted to free Iroh from prison, but when he escaped by himself, Zuko followed Aang and the others as they fled to the Western Air Temple.[46]. [66] He also landed a decisive victory in a rematch against Zhao.

However, as the others prepared to head toward the temple, he prepared Druk to head back home toward the Fire Nation to protect Izumi in case Zaheer would target her next. His time being a "bad guy" as he put it, also gave him insight into certain situations. Zuko is stealthy and skilled in the art of infiltration, able to sneak into heavily defended fortresses and conceal himself effectively for long periods of time.

After viewing this, Zuko found a new source of power in reverence for fire's power as a source of life and energy: "the sun inside you". He resolved to confront his father and his many evils. As he was being escorted out by Sung, Ukano declared Zuko an imposter to the throne, to which the Fire Lord recognized his voice and asked Mai if her father was involved in the New Ozai Society's plot against him, which she denied. Dans le livre un « l'Eau », son rôle est surtout celui de soutien et de conseiller de Zuko bien qu'il se rallie brièvement à l'avatar à la fin du livre lors du siège du Pôle Nord. Once inside, Iroh struggled to control the machine; eventually, however, the general gained control of the aircraft and used it to intercept a squadron of five aircraft flying over Republic City.
