Avatar - Azula in the Spirit Temple (FULL COMIC) (Motion Comic) (60FPS) 

Quick reminder....this is NOT a 3 part series, just one. lol At least we got the live action next year!

It's refreshing to actually see a villain reject a "supernaturally given" redemption for once. If Azula ever gets redeemed then I would want it to be on her own terms and without any spirit fuckery. She needs to come to the conclusion of what she wants to do with her life on her own. Others may influence her in that journey and give her some pointers but I absolutely didn't want to see her get turned by some random spirit she just happens to stumble over once.

She said it herself. It came out of her mouth: "You weren't there to protect me from dad." She knows her father is trash she just refuses to accept it because of the Ozai brainwash academy she went through. Interesting that her ideal idea of Zuko is the boy that was never got harmed before he got banished, before the family was separated. Also interesting that Ty Lee represents harmony and forgiveness, whereas Mai represents harsh truths and rejection.

That ending was great. Azula's like: "Okay, there's way too much joy and love down there. Screw this."

To those who wanted her to be redeemed in this comic, did you really expect someone like her to be redeemed like that in just one comic, Zuko went through a whole 3 seasons of character growth, since Azula is more messed up it'll would take her much longer to get better mentally

22:06-I thought Azula's inner self was a 400ft tall purple platypus bear with pink horns and silver wings.

I love that in the end, instead of choosing violence like always, she just let them be, saying that they are too foolish for her leadership anyways, and goes on to continue her own path. The old Azula would not have hesitated to punish those who went against her orders. So in a way, she did develop, even if it's just a little bit. Even though she hasn't accepted the truth about herself and figure out what she wants for herself just yet, she still continues to walk her own path, and that's what I like about her.

Interesting that Azula imagined Zuko without his scar. Perhaps a small part of her does regret what happened to him

the ending is promising, she set off to "make them pay" but decided to spare them. thats at least a realistic step towards redemption.

Azula does make a small change for the better at the end. Throughout the comic she keeps on telling herself that she'll make them pay but at the end she decides to not do that and let them be.

We all know how Azula’s redemption arc is going to end: With a life changing field trip with Zuko. 😌❤️

Finally gave us a story that reminds us Azula is just a teenager

I thought this was the perfect beginning to at least some form of redemption for Azula. Some people may say nothing happened, but she clearly changed, otherwise she would just have attacked the Fire Warriors at the end, showing she's capable of letting things go. And some people may say Azula doesn't want or need redemption, but in the end, her behaviour is damaging to herself and the people around her, she can't stay as this "perfect villain" without eventually becoming an unstable, mentally broken wreck.

Azula is becoming even more humble and more dangerous. I love it.

I love how Azula is the only level-headed character in this. I do like that she rejects this whole spiritual redemption and decides her own path. But honestly, I'm just confused by the Monk spirit in this. How does showing Azula hallucinations of an fake reality help her? I mean Azula's been suffering from hallucinations for the longest, so I doubt she would want more of them.

I love how Azula's story explores a form of redemption, but not the kind that suits her simply because she's too spiritually-troubled. The spirit built her visions on lies and ignorance, which is the way Ozai raised her childhood. Even though it doesn't seem like it, Azula truly despises the way Ozai treated her. She recognizes that the spirit is treating her the exact same way, but with different intentions. Seeing Azula's visions getting twisted is a great way to depict how her current idea of redemption isn't possible. The people in her past wont just turn around and magically praise her. She has to work towards praise and respect and the ending shows that by showing her demeanor softening a little bit. This doesn't mean that she'll fully become a good person, but it shows she's acknowledging her past and taking steps to understand it.

And everyone was worried she would be magically redeemed 😂

Azula stays as she normally does..and that's why she is one of my favorite characters from the Avatar universe

I liked how the writer kept Azula in character. The ending was perfect, I'm glad she didn't become all chummy with her group but I'm also glad she didn't murder them. So some slight character development from the experience. I only wish there was long epic battle between Azula and the spirit that destroys the mountainside. But that's probably just me after watching too much Demon Slayers. 👹👺 Good job with the Motion Comic 😀

I love seeing Azula getting through the wringer as much as I love her being a badass.

Looking at it all. Azula doesn’t get the entire cliche redemption, she doesn’t join her brother and his friends. She may never become a good guy, but she’s not a bad guy anymore. She’s just free. 🆓 That’s what Azula gets. Freedom.

Honestly this Azula comic was better than I thought it’d be. Of course Azula’s rejected a “supernatural redemption” in the end feels like the right move and in character for someone like Azula. It took Three long and hard Seasons for Zuko to change and become a better person, with guidance from his uncle Iroh of course. But Clearly Azula’s journey is gonna have to be FAR different from Zuko’s. I don’t see her being some full hearted goody goody and be all BFFs with the Gaang lol. I hope she’ll become more anti-hero who skulks around in the darkness.

Even though Azula's still just as arrogant and vengeful as she was, she's actually less unstable mentally than before, which makes her a LOT more dangerous. I'm not sure if she'll get a redemption arc, but for that to happen, she'll need to learn to respect her comrades' wishes, so she doesn't constantly think that they(and others) are betraying her. Considering she sees herself as the rightful heir to the throne, that's going to take a long time, if it's going to happen at all.

They need to make a series of Azula's redemption. I already know imma be tearbending when she speaks to Iroh

The absolute queen, that was a fantastic ending for her story.

We all need more azula comics for sure😢😢

Azula's Fire Warriors, the fire version of the Kyoshi Warriors. In Suki, Alone, Azula taunted Suki about becoming from a leader of a respected group of warriors to a mere prisioner who was all alone. Here, Azula passed from being a respected and feared fire princess to an insane and lonely fugitive abandoned by her own group of warriors.

All the comics with Azula shows her slowly redeeming herself. I think it started with the first one where she met her mom. In the end she dropped the letter where her mom wrote that Zuko isn't Ozai's real son to discredit him as the heir to the fire nation on purpose. Zuko even noted that it's uncharacteristic of Azula to drop it.

The Fire Warriors looking out for each other minus Azula reminds me of the Kyoshi Warriors and how they consider themselves sisters.

This was an amazing start to her redemption arc, she doesnt get magically redeemed but you see progress at the end and points throughout where shes slowly starting to process stuff

I accept this, clearly, she didn't become better under a night. She did kind of started to notice some patterns, even if they trouble her and they still do trigger her. Maybe we will see her becoming better but that need's to be a hell long road to walk, and i'm happy that spirit didn't magically gave her redemption or she suddenly went like "oh, so am i the one with the issue". No, it showed her the truth, it called her out on her lies and at very least, it showed her that that there is a way to live with out taking anger on anything, like she at the end decide to leave those people alone. Will she become better?, that is unknown. If it is a yes, then it will need's to a road for all of us to follow just like Zuko's, if no they well yeah

Overall good comic and it has an ending that allows for Azula to used in the new Avatar the last airbender movies

Azula constantly reminds me of Zira the lioness from The Lion King 2. Like Azula, Zira is known for her cruelty and deceit. She is also unwilling to let go of, and accept, the past. Something that proved to be their undoing. The way Azula refused to rescue Chiyou can be compared to Zira threatening Vitani's life during TLK2's climax. That was what led to their followers deserting them.

This comic kind of makes me sad. Does Azula really want Zuko to have died as children? I don't know, as headcanon, I was convinced she still loves him in some way, that she always did. I mean, why did she want to bring him back home at the end of book 2? I always thought she missed him, but maybe I'm too naive. And she did warn him to be more careful in book 3, so I don't know. Also a bit disappointed that there wasn't more Zuko in this comic. I always felt like he would be such an important person to Azula's redemption, or at least more important than Mai and Ty Lee. It's great to have these femals characters and their friendship shown, but Zuko is her brother, and they went through kinda the same shit as kids. I feel like he would be the only person who could somehow understand her. But what really bugs me is that she seemed so nonchalant in the end. She didn't even think about everything that she'd just witnessed, she didn't get rattled or question her desires. The only thing she did was let her followers live and be happy together. She doesn't know how to be part of this group, and she doesn't know that she showed mercy. She disguises it as being appalled by their weakness. Until she finalls understands her actual feelings and doesn't mold herself into a monster anymore, until she gets up the courage to face her mistakes... With Azula, it's not baby steps. It's microscopic steps. But I'm still happy that there are steps😊 Also, this video was amazing! Thanks so much for sharing the comic, I guess there was a lot of effort that went into the editing🥰

Ty Lee's so cute she's like a female version of aang😊

6:18 Someone pitched a tent over a tree root? No wonder morale was so low, there's no way they were sleeping well at night!

If she continues like this, she will end up like all the villains in her family, defeated, sad and mostly alone, with no one to blame for this but herself, just like her father. The spirit was right, she refuses to accept that she is the villain of the story. I'm very interested in knowing how her story will end, if she will redeem herself or if she will die a villain, like Ozai, Azulon and Sozin. Of all of them the one who was most successful was Sozin, he died of old age as the fire lord, but even so his plan failed in the end, the fire nation did not dominate the world.

Even if Azula didn't get redeemed which was to be expected, she did improve slightly, as at the beginning she swore to get revenge on her Fire Warriors, and in the end she let them go.

This comic was great! Loved it! Folks expecting her to automatically redeem herself after just one experience. Redemption is a long hard road, and it's going to be a long road for Azula. Zukos redemption took three long, hard seasons. Bad choices, and mistakes will be made, but I think she will eventually get there. Despite her dark, nonchalant facade, she's sad and hurting. One thing is clear, she loves her mom, and cares very much about her friends and family. Folks forget, she's still just a child, and will be unlearning a lot of bad things for some time.

I just felt bad for Azula in this. Personally, I feel like she was done dirty in the previous comics. She really got discarded and abandoned here. She has nothing but her name at this point, that's why she keeps clinging to the idea of her being Fire Lord. It's the only thing she has in this world. Zuko threw her into the loony bin that treated her like an animal and did not help her mental state. He released her out a year later just so he could exploit her to find their missing mother. Zuko does nothing but treat her horribly throughout the Search comics. Even in the Smoke comic, Zuko still sees her as an irredeemable person, which is just sad to see. Azula is just as much as a victim as Zuko. Even worse, I would argue. Because she was the golden child. She had no Iroh or Ursa to guide her with good morals, just Ozai. She was raised and indoctrinated to be the perfect manipulative and cruel weapon and was basically neglected by Ursa. (Yes, I know that Ursa's situation was complicated, but I feel like if Ursa and maybe even Iroh tried a bit harder and tried to sway her from Ozai's influence, Azula would be different.) She snapped because of all of the pressure and stresses placed on her at such a young age.

This kinda shows that the one thing that brought her to this mental state in the first place is... She yearned for love and affection, never treated any. So she pushed everyone instead of pulling them closer. All what happened to her is entirely her fault. Yet i kinda feel bad for her. Before the favouritism and Ozai's Parenthood got to her. She was happy, friendly, loved everyone around her. Envy and hatred eventually pushed her away to steps cant be unchanged. I remember my father's quote back to me, "No one was born evil, there's good in all of us, trapped in a small gate waiting to be opened, the key is love. Without it, the gate grows larger and harder to unlock, until its buried deep, no longer seen."

I gonna say she needs to be on her own path how Zuko was. It's a real pity she doesn't have an uncle Iroh to support her but I hope she'll figure out alone eventually what to do with her life and possibly find peace.

This is INCREDIBLE. Thank you!

Thank you for this my friend Zacky.

This video was extremely well done. Every edit added to the material. Blown away!

Ty Lee removed her Kyoshi Warrior makeup as she said she would in Sisters, so different indeed

Thanks for uploading!

dang... she really just went, "nahhh, uh'Im g bro.. you can skiddadle with your redemption arc"

That was incredible, keep it up brother❤

wow thanks so much usually i mute these types of videos because of my lack of focus but this was different it didn't make my adhd act up and this comic was so good thanks

A well done work and effects 👏 👏

Is it just me or is the description of this video MASSIVE

HOLY I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS DUDE IN A WHILE

typical, even going through all that, she refuses to change, and see the errors of her ways, what a child, though Ozai is to blame for her being this way.

I feel like azula needs an almost Loki style redemption, one were her good actions are not known or rewarded but vital to the survival of the world

Was NOT expecting King Ohger music for this.

thanks for uploading dis

I wish to see Azula will finally redeemed herself and help out Zuko and her old friends out if they’re in danger

Thank you

Thank you for posting avatar parts that are not in the anime, only in comic books novels, such as the part about what happened to Zuko's mother after the fire nation's ban and Azula after her defeat to Katara, thank you, very difficult to find here in Brazil , and I'm also lazy, I read very little and I like it better, in this case the universe in avatar cartoons among others, like in samurai x cartoon and manga has different parts, to follow both only if they come together or if you want to know how to get information or luck of come across and find. I loved the sequels, I participated and practiced martial arts capoeira among others I love the design mixes martial art adventure and fantasy magic almost like witchcraft witcher wolf naruto ninjustsus and chi ki dragon ball I love it the movements, the fights, the plots and the equal characters, kyoshi , iroh, asami, wan, zaheer, gazhan, hasook, zuko, suki, toph, june, mai, tarrlok, amon, noatak, unalaq, pli, dy lee, jin, ty lee seems like a really cool monkey and azula who is an insane manipulative villain full of mistakes but in this Part of the comics is still controlling, she kidnaps children, which is bad, but she is aware of criminals below her, like the guy who helps her and goes to prison, who commits crimes but doesn't involve children, and even cries about those perhaps above her who could have done worse things to the children. I thought this part of her was cool, besides the drawing part and mainly her cunning control and abilities, even apparently insane and still manipulative, even letting Zuko become lord of fire in his own way, afraid of failure, Azula looks like foulu from Breath of Fire and Ty Lee is a carefree and extremely skilled monkey. Will this part become a drawing? It would be super cool, I also saw that the speculation and possibility of drawing the avatar Aang and the team in adult form, on Google Avatar Korra shows elements and characters that are also mentioned and make an appearance in very few parts of the drawing but in the comic books it appears better as jargada and tokuga, it would be cool to have these parts in the drawing too. There is and we need an avatar game, lots of selectable characters, movements, specials, opponent stages in the style of action adventure Herc's adventure and beat em up like street of rage 4, online multiplayer I think it would be fantastic and maybe fighting like street fighter, there's something for Playing on the computer by putting 360 jogos on and when you enter an avatar, you can get a kick out of it but it's poor, something more sophisticated on portables like Switch and home consoles I think would be better. Another fan always waiting for more from Brazil. Obrigado por postarem partes de avatar que não tem no anime só em comic books novel como a parte do que aconteceu a mãe de zuko após o banimento da nação do fogo e azula após a derrota para katara, grato, muito difícil de achar aqui no brasil, e eu também sou preguiçoso leio pouco manjo e gosto mais nesse caso do universo em desenho animado de avatar entre outros, como em samurai x desenho e mangas tem partes diferentes, pra acompanhar ambos so se viessem junto ou se porcurar saber obiter informação ou sorte de se deparar e achar. Adorei as continuações, partiquei e pratico artes marciais capoeira entre outras adoro o desenho mistura arte marcial aventura e fantasia magia quase como bruxaria de witcher wolf naruto ninjustsus e chi ki dragon ball adoro isso os movimentos, as lutas, as tramas eos personagems iqualistas, kyoshis, iroh, asami, wan, zaheer, gazhan, hasook, zuko, suki, toph, june, mai, tarrlok, amon, noatak, unalaq, pli, dy lee, jin, ty lee parece um macaco muito legal e azula que é uma vilã manipuladora insana cheia de erros mas nessa parte no comics ainda controladora ela rapita crianças o que é ruim mas ciente de criminosos abaixo dela como o cara que a ajuda e vai preso que comete crimes mas não envolve crianças e até chora quanto os talvez acima dela que poderiam ter feito coisas piores as crianças o que eu achei legal essa parte nela além da parte do desenho e principalmente sua astúcia controle e habilidades mesmo aparentemente insana e ainda manipuladora deixando até zuko se tornar senhor do fogo a sua maneira com medo de falhar do fracasso, Azula parece foulu de breath of fire e ty lee um macaco despreocupado e extremamente habilidoso. Será que essa parte vai virar desenho seria super legal, também vi que a especulação e possibilidade do desenho do avatar aang e o time na forma adulta, no google avatar korra mostra elementos e personagens que também são citados e fazer aparição em muito pouca parte do desenho mas no comic books tem uma aparição melhor como jargada e tokuga, seria legal ter essas partes no desenho também. Há e precisamos de game do avatar, bastante personagens selecionáveis, movimentos, especiais, fases oponentes no estilo ação aventura herc's adventure e beat em up como street of rage 4, multiplayer online acho que seria fantástico e talvez luta como e street fighter, tem pra jogar no computador colocando 360 jogos e ao entrar avatar, da pra tira uma onda mas é pobre, algo mais caprichado em portáteis como switch e consoles caseiros acho que seria melhor. Mais um fã sempre esperando por mais do brasil.

1:58 Oh, Iroh would love her right away and vice versa. 😂

ty so much

Amazing

I like that at the end, ultimately she has to find her own place in the world. Nobody to control her, nobody to control. The little bit of redemption she shows is that she knows she doesn't belong with the Fire Warriors. She isn't going to shoehorn herself back in and try to control them again. She may never be a goody two shoes, but maybe one day she won't be The Devil either.

A first read might make it feel like she's just doubling down, but she did a number of things that set her on a path forward. She aknowledged that what she wants is not to rule, but to be loved, and she gave up on small scale petty revenge. Maybe accepting that she needs to be forgiven is too much for her for now, but she accepted that what matters to her is for people to care about her and aknowledge the hurt she's been through.

I am so glad she got another comic about her.......this comic here shows her first step towards redemption,it won't be so simple and quick but she will definitely redeem herself.....it took zuko four years to find himself (it was already three years of his banishment when the show started and the entire three seasons happened in a year) so it will take azula a longer time to get a redemption

Just a reminder to the ones saying her redemption arc starts when she voices why she felt betrayed by her mother: that's a good scene and it makes sense, but let's not forget her whole reasoning involves wishing her mother had allowed Ozai to kill Zuko...which is completely selfish and cruel. Azula doesn't show mercy for Zuko at any moment. Quiet the opposite, in diferent comics (including this one) she blames him for her problems and points out his death as the solution to them. It fits the character, of course, and it makes her still a villain

I see Azula becoming Chaotic neutral

Something like Kuvira's arc is most appropriate, and this feels like it.

Hey, I just realize imagine if there’s another story that talks about the villain story I hope we get a legend of Korra one where it shows Zaheer 💨 story of how he made the red lotus

Na nach. Very good. Thx

Hearing King-ohger's opening makes me feel happy to be here

Azula story is interesting. She came from a messed up family created by her father. I hope eventually she'll find peace because Zuko already found it himself and it took him awhile.

I think the best move is to make Azula a anti hero, if she becomes good it just doesn’t sit right in my opinion

7:06 I love how she went SPLAT!

Never thought I'd see azula become the box ghost of the fire nation, very sad to see.

cool story

17:52 this is actually so sad she never wanted to be her fathers prodigy all she wanted was love and protection but her fear made her what her father wanted taht being a copy of himself 😮😢😢😢❤

Not terrible. Azula was handed a chance to change but rejected it. Shows she may never change. It's like with some.

Zacky san do you remember the last soundtrack you used for Smoke and Shadow 3? I know that video has been long taken down but I REALLY LOVE that soundtrack (for the end scene of smoke and shadow when Ursa says "I'm home" to Kaya) and I've never been able to find it. 😢 So if anyone knowd the soundtrack please reply to me!

In an alternate timeline fanfic called the Forbidden Princess, Azula gets redeemed and goes through major character development.

Spirit: I offer redemption and peace ~ Azula: You can shove it -!! 🔥

The thing about Azula is, yes she secretly does have a hunger for other people's love, but she's embarrassed by that desire for love so she fixates on power and domination and delusions of righteousness to try to burn that desire out of her. This comic was more or less, "Azula in Wonderland." Yes the "spirit" was lying, yes it was a monster, but most of all: it was just Azula's mind playing tricks on her, the insect thing was just what it manifested into, it wasn't spirit trickery, it was all just a dream which exposed the parts of herself and the world around her she was most genuinely frightened of.

How much freaking longer do we have to wait to see her story come full circle

This was seems and expanded Azula’s character in the best way! I would never want her to be a full blown hero, but if her “redemption” arc can lead her to being an antihero and being able to let go of things rather than fixate on vengeance, I’m all for it 😁

Azula pulled out an Illidan Stormrage "MY DESTINY IS MY OWN!"

I wouldn't mind her being guven a redemption arc, not at all. But what lot of writer's tend to do is that they think that a redemption can last "few epizodes, 30 comic pages or such". Depending of the characther's crimes, it can take less but time does matter, what i really want to see is Azula working out to be a better person, just as Zuko did. It would take her a lot, not just few comic pages and i'm super fucking glad that they didn't give her redemption easy as a pie. We can kinda see that even if she seem's unfazed by the spirit world, it did struck her. We basically seen that in the end, she does see herself as a monster, she does want her brother, her friends to be part of her life and she wants to be praised and loved by her mother too. Her actually stopping herself from taking revenge on those girl's is also a huge step foward, i honestly would love to see her journey. Perhaps, a book which could cover her journey. What also struck me is her need to be around people, or group of people. She really can't handle being alone, she wants to be part of something too.

I remember Iracebeth Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland. She just wanted to hear apology from Mirana thats all she wanted to hear at the end. Azula was so lost and just wanted love, comfort and sorry from her family but they also failed her. 😢

I liked this one. Although I wanted Azula to change for the better. Oh well. It had to be her choice in the end.

10:10 the moment she opened that door and saw her family 😭 I cried

So did Azula redeem? I mean she is still of the same personality but it seems she at least is done blaming others for who she has become and is clearly willing to let the Fire Warriors go in favor of some new group.

Whatever it takes and however long for Azula to redeem herself, I just hope she doesn't die for it, unlike many other characters whom have 'sacrificed' themselves to conclude their stories. I would love to see for once if a villain lived to tell about it.

The only blue firebender. Badass and cool...

Azula 💯

Azula got that dog in her. Reminds me of the punisher courtroom scene.

Listen to One More Moment (Ursa's Lullaby) after you read this, it'll be like if Ursa sang the song to Zuko and Azula.

I never thought I'd say this, but she looks ridiculously pretty in this comic. Especially with her hair down, the surprised expression, face not contorted by hate...if she wasn't such a hateful creature, she'd be a 10/10.

cool opening. i hope you're not afraid of insects *wink*

I keep reading this in Grey DeLisle's voice.

OMG THE KINGOHGER MUSIC XD
