There is no shame in crying to Iroh's song to his son.

emily 0.00001 seconds after seeing the only air head in the show: omg i love her alrady

“I said it was *FEELS* of Ba Sing Se not *FUN* of Ba Sing Se”

Let's all take a moment to thank Kevin for being a real one for getting Emily a copy of ATLA. Thank you Kevin.

Jet: *dies* Emily: Did he just die? Me: *You know, it was really unclear*

“My first girlfriend turned into the moon” the best spoiler with no context in history

"my girlfriend turned into the moon" "that's rough buddy"

“That’s rough buddy” is so iconic even people who didn’t watch avatar probably know it

Its fine everyone cries when iroh sings in that episode about his son

Ty lee: **stabs emily** Emily: SHES SO CUTE!!!

Ty Lee: **murders someone in cold blood** Emily: "SHE'S SO CUTE"

Remember guys, bullying is wrong, unless you're bullying someone into watching Avatar, that is always right

I still get emotional by only hearing the scene where zuko apologizes and starts crying to uncle iroh and then he hugs him

*My thought before watching this video "She will be destroyed emotionally by Iroh story on Ba Sing Se" Aaaannnd she did

Emily: "i didnt whatch avatar" Literaly evryone: *"THAT'S ROUGH BUDDY"*

The Uncle Iroh episode is doubly sad, because the VA playing him died few months prior to release of the episode, so that was one of the last performances we've seen from him on the show.

"In my defense, I didn't have cable." That. That really explains everything.

Her fangirl noises sound exactly like the guy from Kiyoshi Island who foams at the mouth every time he sees Aang

I love that 80-90% of the avatar fandom refers to iroh as Uncle Iroh. Man had such an impact on all our lives and I adore Uncle Iroh.

"I can take it.. you've never held back before". ~ And Zuko alone was a very impactful episode. He does his best by folks, and reveals who he truly is, only for those same people to hate him simply for who he is, and not seeing who he's trying to become. He even gave his childhood dagger to the boy, only for it to be thrown back at him. Besides Iroh and Mai, Zuko really didn't have anyone close to him that truly cared for him. It makes his growth all the more meaningful, and his eventual friendship with the Aang-gang deeply touching.

emirichu on most epic avatar scenes: *silence* emirichu on characters kissing: *GYAAAAAHDHJSHJ*

Omg, her reaction to Jet dying was the same as Zuko. Zuko: "Did Jet just... _die?"_ Sokka: "You know, it was really unclear."

Ty Lee: *crushes someone’s windpipe* Emily: *SHES SOOOOO CUTE*

Zuko redirecting his fathers lightening has never hit so damn hard before. I cannot believe as kids we all got to watch a show so so so good.

Leaves from the vine: *plays* Everybody: im a waterbender!

“Nobody wants another video essay on Avatar” Avatar fans: “Please, do it.”

It gets even sadder when you realize it’s a memorial for his original voice actor.

4:25 Of course they kissed. If you rewatch attentively, you'll notice: 1- They closed their eyes just before it went completely dark, so they wouldn't immediately notice the light coming back. 2- There was a good moment between it going completely dark and the crystal beginning to glow; considering they had already closed their eyes before, they were probably a couple seconds into their kiss before the first crystals started glowing; but again, they had their eyes closed so it wouldn't interrupt them anyway. 3- As Katara got chatty in awe of the crystals, they were still vwry close and holding hands, their fingers intertwined, in a way that would be awkward unless their had just shared some degree of intimacy. 4- When Aang tried to say something (probably confess his love, as he's been trying since 'The Fortuneteller') and Katara just ran away, Aang smiled rather than being disappointed, which means he at least got the kiss. 5- After leaving the cave Aang is all smug about 'trusting in love', subtly showing his desire to boast about his long-desired kiss. 6- When the hippies sing the last song, Katara blushes as they talk about love in the dark, as she recalls what just happened. 7- From here onwards, every single romantic moment between them has the musical leitmotif play again, meaning this is where their romance first blossomed. This scene also comes back in flashbacks such as when he's opening the chakras. So obviously they kissed. To finish all of this off, the creators have confirmed this moment was their first kiss. Whether the kiss is actually what made the rocks light up or that was just Katara's excuse for kissing Aang, I don't know.

*I remember I use to pretend I was a waterbender in the shower lol*

Azula: *approaches Zuko* Zuko: why do I hear boss music

Emirichu's like that 6th grade kid that anytime a kiss scene comes in, instead of looking away, she just screams

As uncle Iroh once said "sometimes life is like this dark tunnel. You can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving... You will come to a better place." Basically compared to now having watched ATLA from before your life just got better.

Emily: Did Jet just DIE?! Sokka: U know, it was really unclear.

Emily (watching Jet's death scene): "Is he dead?" Me: "You know it was really unclear."

Emily - “ I haven’t watched avatar.” Me - That’s rough buddy

Even now as a grown man hearing Iroh sing leaves from the vine breaks me and I can’t hold back tears.

This reaction is majority made up of "She's so CUTE" and "(These are airsoft guns)"

It took me forever to realize "The Boulder" is a reference to "The Rock".. I'm so dumb.

“Happy birthday, my son...” *laughter stops*

You know you've become a fan when you can repeat the entire intro with the bending moves lol. This show is the best tv series of all time and I'm glad you got to enjoy it.

Aang likes to float. Toph likes to get muddy. ‘My first girlfriend turned into the moon.’ *‘That’s rough, buddy.’*

Emily: *cries at The Tales of Ba Sing Se episode, drinks from mug to stop crying, proceeds to cry even more*

"I was never angry with you Zuko. I was only sad, because I thought you had lost your way." Gets me every time.

Imagine being such a homie that you get drawn and get a cameo/callout by one of your favorite RU-vidrs because you gifted a show to them. Kevin is incredible.

Emily:cries when iroh sings Me:first time huh

Katara: What if we kissed? My eight year old heart: DONT PLAY WITH MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Emily: Everybody is screaming at me cause i didn’t watch avatar yet “Thats rough buddy.”

Still can’t believe Avatar made such a resurgence in 2020. So glad to see fans are still discussing the franchise today! Looking forward to what Avatar Studios has cooked up in the future.

Every thing changed when the comment section “attacked”.

"Happy birthday my son...." Me: oh no Iroh:* starts singing* Me: *sobs uncontrollably*

“My first girlfriend turned into the moon” “That’s rough buddy” That will always be the best line in the show

zuko kissing the girl in ba sing se was the absolute best! and his whole “it was nice” is one of my favorite zuko parts ever!… wish they explained that he went back for her after the war and they ended up together… really really wanted that to happen also zuko apologizing to Iroh is still the best zuko and Iroh scene ever. 10/10

Avatar: Does literally anything slightly romantic Emily: *-UNHOLY SCREECHING-*

"I said it was the _feels_ of Ba Sing Se, not the fun of Ba Sing Se." Freakin' died lmfao

IROH’S LITTLE SOLDIER BOY NEVER CAME MARCHING HOME ᴹʸ ˡᶦᵗᵗˡᵉ ʰᵉᵃʳᵗ.... IT HURTS

Something I always thought was interesting about Ty Lee was that in the Ember Island episode she said she was worried about ending up being stuck in a matched set, but then at the end of the series she joins the Kyoshi Warriors who all dress exactly the same and use Kyoshi's fighting style. I'm really wishing we got to see more of her inner thoughts and feelings, because this choice, at-least on a surface level, feels similar to what she said she was trying to get away from.

Emily don’t worry about crying in the sage of Ba Sing Sa the whole world cried

Wanna cry some more? The text at the top of Lu Ten's portrait says: "To General Iroh: See you after we win the War. Your loyal son Lu Ten."

The fact she cried at that one scene when Iroh began singing shows that shes human and defiantly not an anime character

My best friend in college also had never watched the show. We were roommates out final year and she found me listening to it while studying. I was in the middle of season 1 at the time and she asked a ton of questions so I put the first episode on. I left that weekend to go home and I come back to find her on season 3 totally hooked

Sokka: My grilfriend turned into the moon Zuko: That's rough buddy Everyone: *Ahh ahh! He said it!*

Everybody gansta untill the tatoos start glowing.

Ty Lee: exists Emily: *already on one knee with a wedding ring proposing*

I love zuko with all my heart like he's so amazing and the writer who wrote his personality development is insane like i would give ANYTHING TO HUG ZUKO

Aang: "I need my honor back" Zuko: "Tell me about it..."

*Emirichu doesn't try to watch the series* Kevin: _Fine I'll do it myself._

"We were silent during Azula and Zuko fight" The entire fandom: That's the right thing to do 👏

My Favorite character from Atla Was Katara. The girl with power but equally emotions. I just loved her character Arc. The Scene when Aang goes into Avatar state while confronting sandbenders everyone get back slowly slowly but katara was still and hugged Aang in that scene I fall in love with her. She is Amazing Waterbender as well as the best female powerful character written in past two decades. I just loved my girl ❤

Iroh: *starts singing* Emi: *furiously drinks tea to keep from showing emotions*

Emily be looking like a grandma when she cries but it's so wholesome lol

Sokka may not be a water bender, but he’s absolutely a back bender

Emily: doesn’t watch Avatar Everyone: *the Boulder feels conflicted*

Let’s all say it together: Thank You, Kevin!!!!

Her : *Screams every time a kiss scene shows* Me : Thank goodness I thought I was alone.

Avatar is like a universal symbol of happiness and is adored by all family’s

I like when she cried into her mug, then drank her tears to keep herself hydrated. Very efficient.

Emily: He DIED? Sokka: It's a little unclear

Who else cried from just the audio of tales of ba sing se? 😭

Story wise, that beauty about the series is that book 1 is a very good introduction, it is a lot of character building so the later books/seasons can be strong and cool.

"did jet just... die?" "you know it was really unclear." hahahahhaha

Just in case anyone didnt know. During "Tales of Ba Sing Se" there is a clip immediately following Iroh's story line that reads "In honor of Mako." Mako Iwamatsu was the original voice actor for Iroh. He died of esophageal cancer before they could finish the show. His last episode was filmed near the end of S2, but his last lines where at the beginning of S3. Leaves from the Vine/Soldier boy was a song he would often sing to himself during his time battling his disease.

Sad fact: The person who voice acted Iroh died of cancer and the picture of Iroh's son is actually a representation of the voice actor when he was young

Rest in peace Mako. We’ll remember you forever

Everybody gangsta until uncle iroh starts singing “Soulja boy’ SOULJA BOY I- Oops wrong song

we must thank thy biggest bro. kevin. let us take a moment of silence........ oK KEVIN THANKS FOR FORCING EMI TO WATCH ATLA

Emily in any kissing scene: GaUhAaaAAhhFVJHVJVTTTJEHTBEJ Her friends: *death stare*

I wish she posted her reaction to Zuko and Katara hug scene. That's one of the most wholesome and memorable moments in the show

Emily: "THAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE EPISODE???" Moon: *aight imma head out*

Can we all just appreciate Kevin? Like....he gave her the WHOLE series!!

Emily: “I think I’d be an airbender” Erold: “Thats so on brand because youre the airhead dumb type”

Avatar is like that one show that you can watch a billion times and still would be able to continue watching all the more. It is the one series most argue is the best ever made, and that is saying something!

Zuko: uncle iroh is my uncle The entire ATLA community: our uncle

"I said it was FEELS of Ba Sing Se, not FUN of Ba Sing Se" 💀

Everybody gangsta until Uncle Iroh starts singing, “Leaves from the Vine.”

How could you leave out the "the boulder is over his conflicted feelings"

Everything was fine, until Emily said she didn't watch Avatar

Emily: I'm not gonna make a video essay on that cause no body wants to watch that... The Internet: Oh Emily, you have no idea

4:26 *”did they kiss?”* you know, it was really unclear.

My intro to Avatar was a cold day in February back in 2005 when the show first aired. I was very sick and had been home from school. I think I woke up for dinner and before going back to bed I caught the first two episodes as they aired. I remember the commercials for the show hyping it up for that week. However, I won’t lie to you, when I woke up the next morning I thought I dreamed it.
