Converting HATERS To Avatar: The Last Airbender 3x20-21 | FINALE REACTION 

The best part about the Agni Kai is that Zuko is applying what Iroh taught him. He is literally using the technique from other bending styles and applying it on his fire bending throughout the fight.

The Agni Kai still remains one of the coolest, best choreographed fights in fiction man. So peak.

A lot of people give Aang a hard time for not killing Ozai. But there's ONE line from Ozai that I think solidifies WHY Aang was in the right to spare him. “You’re weak, just like the rest of your people. They did not deserve to exist in this world, in my world! Prepare to join them. Prepare to die!” That line alone, shows us what a lot of the in universe characters think of the Air Nomads. That even though they helped out other nations, stayed out of conflict, and often revered...Not only do people in the real world see them as WEAK for being nonviolent, and choosing peace over war....People in universe saw them as weak too. Ozai saying they didn't deserve to live in his world, shows us why Aang had to be the better man. It could've been done a bit better, but Aang had something to PROVE to not just his friends, but the WORLD that what he stands for, what his PEOPLE stood for MATTERED. And that they weren't WEAK because of it. If Avatar Aang had killed Fire Lord Ozai...it truly would've been the death of the Air Nomads. Aang would've been the one to fundamentally wipe them from existence. Not to mention, when it comes to taking one's bending, I'd say that's a worse punishment for a bender than death. You're stripping part of their identity away. Katara had to convince Aang not to use it willy nilly in the comics, for that very reason; Aang might not be killing their physical self...but by taking one's bending he's essentially killing their spiritual core. Their soul.

It’s so quick to yell “kill him!” But we always forget that he’s 12! And a monk who grew up to never harm. You can’t just turn those ideals away. The war within himself is so beautifully executed.

Piandao doesn't get enough credit in the retaking of Ba Sing Se. He's a non-bender, fighting against firebenders superpowered by the comet, and he's WINNING. Dude is an absolute badass.

I really like how it was shown that Azula really went crazy. Usually in a fight her movements are precise, she is a strategist, but now her movements are chaotic and untied. That's what Zuko noticed

Katara did not go through 6 guys 😂😂 she had a crush on jet for a day. And she never wanted to think about her feelings with Aang cause the world was in peril and it was not the time for romance. I’ll take no katara slander here lol

I love that Aang’s true battle isn’t with Ozai, but instead himself. Do his beliefs no longer belong in this world? Does he save the world but destroy what’s left of his culture to do so? He’s able to overcome evil with his pure heart, indomitable will and unbending spirit. He fulfills his destiny not only as the Avatar, but also as the Last Airbender.

The music in this show doesn't always get enough credit. The music in the final Agni Kai is incredible

Btw. This is a "kids show". Everyone was literally at the edge of the couch all focused on what was happening. This just goes to showcase two things, a good "kid's story" can be appreciated by everyone, a bad one is only for kids, and finally, ATLA is peak media. Its a timeless masterpiece that stands tall as a perfect story. I can watch it so many times and I'll never grow tired o it. Season 3 is the best animated show of all time.

Avatar doesn't have haters. There are only the people who love it and the ones who haven't seen it.

I loved how Aang learned 3 bending techniques that no other avatar knew. Lightning re direction, discovered by Iroh. Blind sight, discovered by Toph. And energy bending, taught by the Lion Turtle. Not even the Avatar state could use any of these techniques as no previous Avatar could.

The way Sokka protects Toph always warms my heart ❤️

Everyone talks about how Zuko's evolution and growth is one of the best stories in Avatar. Not enough people talk about how Azula's slow devolution and fall into loneliness, insanity, and despair is one of the best villain story arcs in fiction that DON'T involve their redemption. Love that her downward-spiral mirrors Zuko's rise and also reflects everything he gains that she loses: A relationship with their mother, friends that don't fear him, and to add insult to injury she even sees herself get replaced as a "sister" by Katara immediately after her humiliating defeat. That's the wail of someone who just realized she's truly lost everything. Her fall mirroring Zuko's rise while striking the perfect balance of pitiable, yet still irredeemable is perfect for a show that's all about maintaining balance.

The thing with Azula is that she’s just as much of a victim as Zuko is but in different ways. Her mother clearly favored Zuko but because her father favored her, she never had the chance to be anything than like him. Except she isn’t. She’s a kid who really wasn’t loved by either parent. Ozai never loved his kids. They were just his pawns

Love the duality between Addie and Maddie’s faces during Azula’s defeated screaming and crying. Addie who has already seen the show and knows this is a tragic moment not a happy one. Azula’s story is tragic she’s just a kid turned into this monster by her upbringing who ends up failed, lonely, and miserable. And her own brother had to bring her down after being pit against each other since birth by their father. And then there’s Maddie who hasn’t seen it before and is just hyped to see her lose lol

To this day, Ozai burning his cape and flying to Aang is one of the toughest flexes of a main villain

May we appriciate that Ozai was voiced by none other then the great Mark Hamil. The iconic voice of Joker..

I love the development in Tai Lee - she was always sad about being part of a “matching set” in her family but now she feels right at place with the Kiyoshi Warriors (who are literally marching) 😂

Toph going:"whow, thats a lot of fire isnt it?" will always kill me. Not only is it the first time we see her scared or rattled in the entire show, she is blind! but the heat and the light of the fire get to her, this scene is so crazy well written to me

They really popped off with the last two battles. Love how they did Azula vs Zuko, the score they used was phenomenal, rather than an epic final clash it felt more tragic, which it is. This reaction was so, so sweet. Especially for Cannon, Carter and Addie, you can tell this show is so special to them. Hoping we will get to see the girls again for another series.

Hakoda is such a W dad in the show probably the best one in the show, the unconditional love and pride he has for Sokka and Katara is heartwarming

If you are still wondering why Azula started to go crazy, it starts once her father declares that she will be the fire lord. She starts to feel the pressure of this whole new role while her friends, who she had full control of just turned on her. She is about to control the whole nation and now for the first time in her life, seeing her friends betray her, she starts to see that maybe she cant control people like she thought she could. There are many more factors but that is what really starts that fast decline

8:01 that's always such a cool moment where Ozai see's his life flash before his eyes because it's also when he likely realizes Zuko succeeded at meeting up with Aang and training him

it's fun to see how one by one all of them start to lean forward

I always likethe fact Zuko learned from every bending style and adapted himself. You can see he uses all 4 bending styles during his final agni kai, making his development that much nicer. In 8:43 he stands his ground like an earthbender and 9:06 he moves swiftly like an airbender. And ofc he would 've used the lightning redirect if Azula didn't play dirty, being water

The girls need to come back for more reactions, love the energy!

Honestly didn't think I'd see that expression of pure joy on Maddie's face at the end of the series with the tears and all. I just thought it was nostalgia hitting us adults, but that's proof that this show is really just perfect for all ages. Glad you enjoyed it guys!

I'm right there with the girls. Cried at the ending with em. It's so beautiful

to me Zuko and Iroh are both absolutely perfect characters. There is not a single thing I would change about them

Fun fact, the first line in the first episode is Sokka saying “it’s not getting away from me this time” and the last episode Toph saying the last line “I think you all look perfect!” So the first and last words in the show is “it’s perfect” and it indeed is Also Aang’s hand grabbing the firelords beard out of the rocks is one of the coolest shots in tv show history

You guys mentioned a universe where Katara just bloodbends everyone, not sure if someone's mentioned it, but there is actually a fanmade comic following a story where Aang is discovered from a volcano by Zuko and Azula and the water navy is in the role of this universe's fire nation that invades the rest of the world. Really cool take and well executed. Not sure how far it went tho

Now I'm excited for you guys to start Korra's story!

Zuko‘s and Azula‘s fight will always remain one of the iconic fights of any media. Like the show, it‘s simply timeless. And watching people react to Avatar and then rewatching it myself made me realize something: when I watched Azula‘s downfall years ago, like many, there was a feeling of relief which was followed by an immediate feeling of sadness. Not particulary because of her trauma, because tbf. at 8 or 9 and couldn‘t fully grasp all of that, but rather because Azula became the character in the show, which I kinda started to respect the most because of her fighting prowess and ability to nearly always find a way. EVERY Azula fight has alteast ONE Moment where you‘re just thinking:“HOW is she doing this ?!“ or „How cool was this ?“ other Characters have that too but with Azula idk she just had that special extra 😂 And then to see her demise was kinda hard because it was specifically her who always found a way to get shit done.

I think my favorite realization of watching this reaction was the impact of Zuko taking the hit for Katara - especially when Katara was the last one to trust him when he joined the group. Obviously they made up before this point, but he broke his fighting stance and jumped in the way of the lighting without hesitation. It blows my mind how well they crafted his redemption, even after he turns "good"

Roku's mistake with sozion wasn’t that he should’ve killed him from the beginning. It was that he shouldn’t keep a closer eye on him and make sure he wasn’t alone. Sozion is firebender meaning he has passion and drive to achieve it. When passion is suppressed, any person can become frustrated that they still want to achieve what they want. And they won’t let anyone stop them. Sozion was only pulling from lesson fire, but not from the place of air which allows you to see the multiple possibilities, water that allows you to be more flexible and gain help when needed, and the earth that is about being patient. Sozion became out of balance, and on top of that he was a fire lord, a monarch. He was at a high status where he could help the world or make the world worse. Being a fire lord monarch majority means empty throne room and no one really to advise him. Sozin's original plan was to spread his wealth to other nations in a way, when suppressed by Roku, alone in his throne room, and only pulling from the lesson of fire (the achieving your passion) he fell out of balance and his dream became more about conquering the nations. So Roku knowing his sozion status, as an avatar and his friend, he should’ve stuck closer to him and advised him. Everything comes full circle in avatar. Everything in the avatar comes in full circle. So like the swamp guy and guru lessons: everything and everyone is connected. Time is an illusion and so is death. The four nations cover the entire world, team avatar has been running into the same people no matter where they go. And those people run into people that team avatar also have met. The white lotus meme bears just happen to be all teachers of team avatar. Zuko just happened to run into jet after they both separately met team avatar on their own. Suki runs into azula. Zuko just always seems to be running into ancestor Rokus reincarnation. Everyone and everything is connected. iro lesson on the four elements: each element has an important trait that when together it makes you whole. if you pull from one place your path becomes rigid and stale. You fall out of balance. This can happen to anyone. And this also happened to every villain in avatar and legend of Korra. To azula, ozi, zuko at some point, and sozion. Every lesson in Avatar comes back to haunt us in the series. And in life. Every avatar either succumbed to killing their villain or ran out of time to find a solution. They all sacrificed their morals and upbrings of the nations they were born into. They didn’t really bring balance. Like think about it, what if the reason for the next avatar being born in a new nation all the time meant that it was time to use those morals of that nation but on a cosmic avatar scale? in order to bring balance to the world. Aang was the only one who listened to the morals of his nation. And he found a way to win that brings balance to the world. Thinking like an air bender he found an outbox solution. Thinking like a cosmic being avatar, he took Ozi's fire bending away. The direct description of the avatar was that he needs to bring balance to the world. That includes ozi. From what we’ve seen in korra, a person not having bending can bring balance and a person having bending can also bring balance to that person. And therefore the world. And when you think about it. No element or nation was brought up on the morals of needing to kill. Just how to live life.

this series is such a huge part of my childhood.. it's so fun watching it again with you guyss.. now Korra time..

You guys definetly gotta watch Korra with the same group, i reckon you'd all enjoy it so much

The music in the Zuko/Azula battle is somber. Because despite thier rivalry and how dangerous Azula was, she was raised by the same abusive father as Zuko. It's because of his abuse that two siblings who should have had each other's backs were having a fight to the death. The fact that they had that agni kai was a tragedy.

doesn't matter how many times I watch this show, I always cry with Zuko and Iroh hug, I get choked up with the whole finale everytime... this animation will be forever my favorite one, period

Legend of korra reaction soon let's gooo ❤❤❤

Hopefully LOK next, i hope none of you have seen it, the development is so cool! Also how zuko uses some waterbending techniques in the agni kai is peakkk, along with Irohs advice to breathe and focus, and azula just being so out of breath because shes too caught up in rage

I can’t wait for u to react to the sequel Legend of Korra. At first I wasn’t mentally and emotionally ready to watch it during season 1 because time has passed in the series. But some main characters from TEAM AVATAR AANG showing up as recurring characters in the sequel made me feel better. As the sequel progresses, it gets better and better and worth watching !!!

Something I think a lot of people overlook was Aangs choice in the final moments of the fight. Not to spare Ozai, but to restrain him again with earth bending before taking his bending away. In that moment his journey officially came full circle, because he stood firm and did what he believed in. Earth bending was the hardest for Aang to learn, so using it to defy advice from all the avatars, all his friends, all the common sense, in order to do what he believed was right, is a beautiful message.

It's been a great ride. Thank you for the reactions ❤❤

*Every single time I see the scene where AZULA speaks to the spirit of her mother by the mirror, I can't stop thinking of the Green Goblin scene from spiderman! This was her green goblin moment 😂*

Gotta love how everyone’s arcs come to a close. Even Tai Lee who was afraid of spending the rest of her life as part of a matched set, and now as a Kyoshi Warrior she’s a part of a matched set, but she’s confident enough in her own identity and who she is, that in spite is of looking like a bunch of others, she will stand out, she will not be forgotten, and she won’t get lost in the shuffle.

I really think you should continue with the Legend of Korra after now knowing about chi-blocking and energy bending and blood bending !! Plus the animation is so good and the fighting really elevated as well. Especially hearing your thoughts about deaths and origin story which LOR goes more in depth about all of those things 😌🤌🏽

man no matter how many times i rewatch it or watch reactions to it, tears will be shed every single time.

Wait!! You didn't watch the scene with Zuko visiting Ozai!?! When I first saw that as a child when it first aired it was such a shook to realize that we still had no idea, that I still remember it to this day. I think it's an amazing scene even though it gives you false hope for a fourth season. IMO a story is better off deliberately leaving mysteries unsolved than to be without depth, and in this case never question why or how their mother suddenly disappeared.

I always thought it was super poetic the way they have Aang use the first water bending move he ever learned as his last he uses in the show.

I loved this series SO MUCH!!! I was especially happy that I wasn’t the only one who rooted for Zuko and Katara (especially after he risked everything to save her life) without totally hating the canon couples 😭 it healed my soul I felt so validated! Because so often people (cough, the creators) are like “you will end up in failed relationships” for liking them together, but to see a guy who agrees was so refreshing. I just love this series so much and there literally isn’t a single weak character, rewatching things like the white lotus retaking ba sing se reminded me why I love this show so much! Thank you so much for creating this reaction series ❤

Katara doesn't want to use bloodbending on anyone, the only reason she used it once was to stop her friends from killing each other. Other than the moon not being present in this fight, it was more of her moral integrity rather than her will to win that keeps her from using it on Azula.

What I love about the Azula Vs. Katara scene is Katara knows Azula is too powerful and unhinged, but Zuko needs help ASAP So she decides to cut the battle short instead

Let's talk about the fact that everyone doubted Aang but in the end he stuck to his guns didn't give into peer pressure and ended the war HIS WAY. This is the reason he was chosen to be the avatar and why he stands above everyone else

zukos speech before getting crowned is incredible especially when you consider just how much suffering there must've been in those 100 years

Can’t wait to see you react to LOK

Legend of Korra next?

so glad i got to relive this journey with yall after many rewatches! hope you guys watch Legend of Korra!

Air Nomads won in the end through Aang. Aang didn't betrayed his culture, his identity. Their ideals live on, showing that no, Ozai and Sozin were wrong, they are not weak, they are powerful and their morals still exist strongly in Aang.

A whole bunch of ppl missing the point that Aang's spirit was unbendable but their own absolutely would be, willing to give in to hate and murder

Bro, the brown haired girl was so into it! She was GLUED to the screen and was tearing up not because it was sad by from the raw intensity and fear of fighting the Firelord! She was 100% invested and that's the best feeling and most elusive feeling because in that moment, you forget you're watching a show. It's when show transcended just being media and turns into a true emotional experiences that captivates every one of your senses. Really glad the newcomers got to enjoy this incredible ride and witness one of the best shows ever made in all its depth and emotional intensity!

My favorite Character is Katara. She and Aang had an Organic Relationship. She saved his life at the end of season finale of book 2. She really deserves Anng. I’ve never saw anything between Zuko and Katara. Thank you for reacting Guys. I’ve watched every single chapter with you. ❤❤❤

Aang already mastered the Avatar state in the end of 2nd season, but since he was struck by Azula's lighting when he was in the avatar state he almost died, this made him lose his access to the avatar state. Katara only managed to save him and not his access to the Avatar state using the sprit water. That is why we see aang never enter the avatar state in 3rd season. The glow and the past avatar reappearing, when he gets hit on his wound during the fight with ozai is actually when he regains access to the avatar state.

Petition for the ladies to come back once you guys start reacting to Haikyuu! All of you guys will love it and could be the great start for the ladies to start watching anime.

The guy in white sounds insecure or projecting onto Katara and Aang at the end 😂 like damn bro who hurt you

Cannon being a Zutara shipper isn't even surprising tbh

The Legend of Korra has to be next up on the list. I know there’s mixed feelings on it but there are definitely a lot of important moments in the series and it would be so great to see your reactions to them.

For those who say zuko and Katara is perfect choice just here it Aang loved Katara from day one There is a whole episode to build that romance Cave of two lovers they made official first kiss that led them way out of cave Katara was always with Aang on his hardship Threatened zuko to kill not once but twice (1 in northern water tribe and second one after zuko join with team) In ember islands play when character katara say she love zuko our katara and zuko look each other and move a little bit far Zuko always loved mai from childhood ( childhood scene) And he said ge doesn't want to hurt her thats why he leave a letter Both have couple moments in ember islands He was happy to see mai in boiling rock and he was happy she helped them to escape She mentioned zuko as boyfriend who dumped her Zuko and katara have only that mutual friendship there is no element of love amoung them

Watch korra guys, it takes the world of avatar and completely matures it.. a lot of lore gets answered, and at some point you will continuously ask “is this a kids show?”😂

thank you for watching this series until the end. I really love Aang's series and I like your reaction to it! I feel like watching with friends. I'd recommend you to watch Korra's series too eventho I personally kinda dislike korra 😅 but the battle scenes are so cool and satisfying, it's still worth to watch I think

Please watch LOK now. It's not quite on the same level as ATLA but I think it has some really really strong episodes as well. 🙏🙏

Truly one of the best finales ever made

I love how Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) voices Ozai - "After generations of firelords failed to find you, now the universe delivers you to me as an act of providence."

I agree with Cannon still about Katara and Zuko and I held out hope til the end. The finale always gets me though the music is just so amazing and seeing it again got me so emotional. Everything about the finale is golden and really just does so well being the end of the large journey and its amazing to see all of the growth of all the characters coming together. Loved rewatching it with you all!

It’s been so fun watching with you guys, are you going to go onto Legend of Korra? it’s amazing on its own

next: LoK reaction PS. Cannon, KATAANG FOREVER

Hot take but I think zuko and Aang are both equally the main characters

Well, it's been wonderful going on this journey with you guys. Even though most of you had already seen the show at least once, these reactions were still so fun. I'm really glad Maddie loved the show, so much that she even cried at parts in the finale and didn't know why. I always get emotional watching the last episode, because even though it mostly wraps up everything amazingly, it's also just sad to see it end. I'd be for ya'll reacting to Legend of Korra, but it seems like you don't want to, which is also fine. I hope Maddie and Addie will join in on future reactions. I know they'll probably be back for the live action, but it'd be nice to see them again on other reactions too. I'm very nervous about the live action, since this is one of my favorite shows of all time, but I'm hoping they'll do it justice. Anyway, thanks for these reactions guys!

Im always surprised when i see that people are shocked Aang doesn't want to kill Ozai ... Like really ? what about Aang makes you think he'd kill someone lmao that's not what his character is AT ALL Honnestly i'm 100% sure that even without the spirit bending deus ex machina Aang wouldn't have been able to find it in himself to kill Ozai.

Cannon wanting Zutara heals something inside me 😌😂 Even Zuko's voice actor supports Zutara, we love to see it. I really want you guys to react to Legend of Korra, it's kind of scaring me that studio gek hasn't reacted to any of the requests so far about it. It is it's own show and has way better villains than The Last Airbender. It's ok to have some issues with it not being like ATLA and stuff but it really grew on me.

I'll forever love atla's ending every other avatars big feet's was splitting kyoshi island and making a hurricane but Aang's best moment was him putting out the flames of war.

You guys should give Legend of Korra chance. It gets mixed reviews from the community but it really adds a lot to the world. And I think many who have watched it through would argue that season 3 of Korra competes with ATLA.

Time for Legends of Korra

This finale always give me chills. Every aspect of it is just magnificent. This episode is the definition of being on the edge of your seat. It was that intense. 🔥 💧 🌍 💨

this series has brought me so much comfort throughout a crazy first semester at college. one of my favorite youtube channels + my favorite show in one place. thank you for this!!

I remember when the first episode aired when I was in third grade. As a kid I would watch it on and off, skipping several episodes at a time and not really paying much attention. I had no clue it would become one of my favorite shows of all time as an adult. I’ve rewatched it three times since it’s come to Netflix and every time it’s gotten better and better. All of your faces were reflections of my emotions at one point watching this show.

Watching your Avatar reactions have been so fun to watch! One of the most satisfying finale I’ve ever watched! Looking forward to the live action and Korra if you watch it 👍😊

Katara brought Aang back to life!! Noone can do more than her for Aang.

Katara would literally kill anyone for Aang that girl has her priorities str8 Aang is her men, that’s why i love kataang so much 🥹

The weakest member of the White Lotus is the greatest swordsman in the world. That is insane.

Legend of Korra next!

please watch Legend of korra. It was really fu and have best villans in the series.

The legend of Korra is definitely worth watching.

It’s been so cool rewatching this with y’all. Watched it as it came out as a kid and it was always one of my favorites. I’m glad y’all enjoyed it and it was fun seeing the newbies reactions. Y’all seem like really nice people and I hope the best for you ❤️

pls continue with Legend of Korra

Aang not killing Ozai actually shows how strong he is. It’d be easy to kill him, ESPECIALLY as the Avatar. Rather than take the easy way out, he stands by his teachings from the air nomads and does what’s right for him. And it’s honestly so much more devastating for Ozai to lose his bending imo

"Wait, did he just forget about Katara?" that's something I feel like a lot of people didn't understand in the finale. Aang's chakra was 'forcefully" unlocked by Ozai, which allowed the other Avatars/the Avatar Spirit to "take over", just like on book 1 at the end with the Ocean Spirit. This was not Aang smashing Ozai, it was the other Avatars through the Avatar State. They would have used Aang's body to serve the "justice" they thought was right. But Aang took back control at the last minute. Because his Spirit is that strong. Strong enough to fight off Ozai's darkness, "unbendable", but also stronger than any Avatar Spirit. Aang is an airbender, through and through, and his most important fight was this one, keeping his beliefs and his people alive, despite everything that happened. When your people get genocided, you get hunted down, injured, almost killed, stripped of everything and everyone you've loved, it's easy to hate, to want to kill and destroy and call it justice. Heck no one would've judged Aang for killing Ozai if he did. But Aang never did, Aang would've hated himself had he killed Ozai, he would've lost his own balance and as it was previously said on the show, how can an imbalanced spirit bring "balance" and peace to the world? Aang, not allowing his life's evils to change him is his biggest strength and what makes his character so good storywise. And you know, as much as I love Katara taking down Azula, I would've really liked Zuko being faced with the choice, whether or not to kill Azula, to put him facing the same moral dilemma as Aang (esp since Azula was set to become Firelord, to be the "next Ozai"). The ending of the show when it comes to Aang is exactly according to what Iroh told him on book 2. Aang chose the love for his people over power and ultimate beliefs. He kept pushing for another solution that would align with who he is, and he found one.

5:26 I would be terrified as hell too if I saw an unnaturally buff man strip and then start fireflying towards me while a soundtrack like that plays in the background.

You guys better watch Korra!
