Why Is Azula’s Fire Blue? (Avatar Answers) 

Was Sokka alive during Legend of Korra?

Would it be possible to bend something like wood or other materials that haven't been shown in the anime?

The Amagi how was pro bending invented?

I don’t know if you’ve done this but do the life of azula

Lo and Li seem to be royal or very high ranking, why is that???

Thunder and lightning, very very frightening

Spacey Disc thunderbolt*

She already mastered it, so it isnt that scary

Jash Ramos the fact that she mastered it is scary enough

I always thought Azula to be a psychopath. In a way, she doesn't really experience the emotions like a normal being would. I think she has them completely seperated, making it not affect her lighting bending at all.

😈😎💫

surprised her name meaning blue wasn't mentioned

M B exactly

🥶

gman gang 🩸🗡🚬⛓

I think it’s cause she is still continuously bending it, rather than letting it burn out and turn red orange .

She flexing her bending as better than the entire Fire Nation

@@nataliadoe7126 nah im pretty sure the fire lord's room is always hot and high temperature so the flames are always getting fuel they need to survive

I mean it is the eclipse so she's more powerful

@@sayba6766 what did you just say? The eclipse makes her more powerful?

Wait until we get white firebender 😅.

​@@DBT1007I mean we already have blood bending.. it's only a matter of time 💀

But others that master it still have red

@@soundbox7680 its perfect combustion someone didnt put attention in school

Erik González my guy. When I saw perfectionist I thought they meant she perfected firebending, and on top of that my science teacher hasn’t been covering fire so I wouldn’t know unless I looked it up or someone told me

I think the blue color is the physical manifestation of the chaos the erupted inside of her. If this were a matter of sheer ability or prowess, then Masters like Iroh and Jeong Jeong would also have had blue fire. Azula sought control because she struggled to keep it. Remember anything of a spiritual nature is blue or white. Spiritual maturity is not the same as the physical. Her "composure" is actually a sign of the struggle.

@@legendarythepoet8483 Yeah that's pretty much it since we find out later she had a lot of pent up anger and anger was the main fuel for the ATLA fire benders.

certain chemical reactions can cause fire to change colours, blue fire is more abundant in something than normal fire. I haven’t done any research but maybe salt can cause fire to turn blue because of salt’s chemical compound. I only know as much as you, but I would think twice before saying such a low quality joke.

I'd say you miss the joke, but something tells me you'd make an essay telling how I'm wrong.

Zedrick Wood you uh...you kinda missed the joke.

@@drizeanbustee you're very fun at parties

weeee

Wow...

And some noteworthy , not yet important meaning of names. Agni - means fire in hindi Aang (pronounced as ang) means body.

Interesting point, however avatar is more based on the countries in Asia, so it wouldn’t make much sense to have a name deriving from a Spanish word. I think it’s more to do with how perfect Azula is/tries to be as blue is a refined flame (as pointed out by another commenter)

La means The in spanish too so BlueThe is her name

@@thetweeshrew4187 así no funcionaXD. Sería algo como azul femenino: azula

But I would assume the creators named her Azula knowing that they would maker her fire blue. That can’t be a narrative explanation, though, bc she wasn’t born firebending, so her parents likely didn’t coincidentally name her that, and I doubt she’d change her name because her fire was blue

Directed by Robert B Wilde

Then why didn't azulon (her namesake and grandfather) also have blue flames?

@@abmstudio3678 I think it’s cause she’s a firebending prodigy, so she was a different color flame from everyone else

I find it adorable that she was kind of named after her grandfather. Azulon - Azula

lmao katara could beat you easily

@@shanepartridge216 even with the comet

Shane PARTRIDGE nah she can’t beat her easily. Y’all are tripping. The reason Katara won is bc azula was slipping lmoa . If she were sane azula would have known it’s a trap from a mile away, and in the season 2 finale azula wasn’t even trying with Katara, y’all really think that was her full potential ? She was able to beat Aang , so why not katara. It’s just because she was focused on Aang and Katara caught her off guard, also in the same episode azula defeated her again (19:40)so what are y’all talking about.

Shane PARTRIDGE are u kidding ? Azula was at her worst when she was fighting katara. She wasn’t even trying ! just watch the fight scene. She was caught off guard, she literally turned her back on Katara and was looking at Aang , that’s when katara flushed her with water. azula defeated Aang in the same episode , so she could have defeated katara if she tried. If u compare the way she fought katara and the way she fought Aang , u could see the clear discrepancy. Her blue fire when fighting katara was so small and almost nonexistent, whereas her fire when fighting Aang was so strong that Aang literally flew , and no in the same episode azula defeated Katara , towards the end. The time stamp is 19:45 , around that time. Azula striked her and knocked her out . I already mentioned that she was slipping in the finale or else she would have noticed kataras trap a mile away and wouldn’t have stepped into the storm drain .

fatima alamien I’m saying in the cave you bimbo

No, in korra the guy who got taken away his firebending from noahtak also had blue fire

@@nickname8245 could you give me episode cuz noahtak taking bending?

@@nickname8245 he shot lightning azula is the only character with blue fire and it was Amon not noahtok

Probably because blue fire is like the complete combustion of flames, a.k.a a pure flame or a perfect flame - and Azula is known for her obsession of nothing less than perfection. That makes her pretty unique tbh, cause she's the only character in the two series who can wilfully use blue flames - it looks really cool.

She's the only character in either Series with THAT much rage...and pain that won't let her leave that rage

Seriously bro noice, so how much power is in the white flame?.

So many depths in the elementbending sector in this story but the story creator kinda waste the diversity potential... 😢 We know there are more than 4 elements bend. We call it "subbend" or something. Like lightning, metal, blood, etc. But then again, even each bender has their own quality. For fire bender here, is about the heat of the fire. For earth bender, probably becoming one with the earth. Toph's seismic sense is the peak maybe or the closest. For air, becoming one with the air like lahima & zahir. Or maybe the ability to control the gas elements(oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, methan, etc) in the air. Like they can even make their own atmosphere. And water, maybe the ability to control any liquid from any living beings is the top skill.

@@gamechallengerwolf3856 i don't think the coloration of the flames automatically means they have more power or anything tbh, for example Zuko beat Azula in the last Agni Kai

@@DBT1007 those are really great ideas tbh!

That would be actually cool. Lol

but Aang is the protagonist and he doesn't have blue fire

Haha Thought same thing here

Or maybe that azul means blue in Spanish

@@killswitch3883 yeah in Filipino, Galician, and Portuguese

XD I'm dying!

LOLLLL YOU ARE A GENIUSSSSSSSSS.

@@UnderTimothy I really am

For a fire princess? I feel like Vermelha would be more suitable

Or Rajeed

But she could never beat Katara. katara washed azula's ass twice

Mirage Oh yeah, most definitely. Katara has such a strategically way of fighting and she could take down any bod any time.

Kinda but the are equal the fight before the final agnikai, Zuko’s firebending got much better after he learned from the dragons

Ana 75 keep in mind azula’s firebending was also boosted from the comet

@@TH-rc7yo Zuko's firebending was also boosted. He is a firebender afterall and it doesn't matter which technique he uses.

🎶I may be normal but i'm no average girl Theres no one like me in this pokemon world so choose me baby come on give me a whirl i'll be your... HEART YOUR SOUL YOUR DIAMOND AND PEARL🎶

r/notlikeothergirls

Mulan reference...

VOLDEMORT! I THOUGHT U GOT THANOS DUSTED.

Azula’s not like other girls, Azula is Fire Lord

Nice you should make a video.

I remember the exact same thing lol

and you didn't almost 7 minuts to explain it

That special used facts that were often just like made up. So it’s not actually considered canon.

Yeah, but in real life liquid methanol can also make fire blue.

and just like entrapta said, "imperfection is beautiful."

But unlike Azula. Zuko embraces his imperfections and grows from them. Azula denies her imperfections, which explains why she had a mental breakdown at the end of the series.

Moses Leyson or her name is Azula (if you don’t know azul means blue in Spanish)

@@Garbgaming Why Spanish? I thought the show was based on Chinese Culture? Or at least Beifong is a Chinese Name.

Austin Thov yea that’s probably not the main reason it’s just a little touch

@TheWeeaboo Yeah I know that. We all know that Blue flames are amongst if not the most hot of flame colors to be output. She trained to master the art of lightning to a perfection which it terms boosted her mastery over fire bending. That's what I'm saying.

That's what I figured too; she's the daughter of the most powerful firebender alive, and such a talented prodigy she mastered lightning bending as a child.

I seriously doubt Ozai is stronger than Azula. If he is know, she would have surely become stronger than he ever was when she reached his age and training later in life.

@@draaijman i think Ozai is stronger than Azula because he is far more skilled than Azula. you have seen how Ozai was manipulating his fire when fighting Aang. i think in if Azula where little older she might have surpass Ozai.

@@draaijman I agree, she’s definitely more powerful then her father. It’s because of her grandfathers. Sozin on her father’s and Avatar Roku on her mother’s side. They were married to create a bender like her.

In this thread I’m seeing a lot of misinformation Ozai was by far the strongest bender of his current time this is hinted and explained many times

That is the same thought I had when I thought of this

She creates fire in tiny points but in more intensity

A fire being blue doesn’t mean it is hotter it just means it has little to no carbon to burn If u add carbon the flame gets brighter because of the carbon heating up

@@kyzayt2242 further showing how empty she was inside, the red fire has spirit and passion, while blue is cold and soulless but still powerful

@@SuperTheTman Well said.

Underrated comment

Minecraft

Good comment

yes

Lol

Why is todorikis fire red

Dark Phantom it could become blue if he gains more control over his quirk. It could even be even more powerful than dabi’s due to his ice half to cool his body down. So it could become blue eventually but for now it will be red

The true, outside the show reason is that they wanted to animate Azula and Zuko's fire so you could tell the difference. They knew there would be battles between them and wanted it to be clear who was firebending what, and show a nice contrast between the two.

blue is indeed the perfect color

I think also because of her technique, if you pay attention you can notice that she uses her fingers rather than her fists (like everyone else) maybe this causes the fire to get out in a more pressurized way causing it to be blue, not like the fists that they cause it to get out in a more dispersed way. This video talking about hate and what not it's just nonsense because if that was true; why Sozin or even Ozai didn't have blue fire? like, they really really REALLY hated everyone and everything so...

Dedicated.

Lightning***

Another cool fact. Neutron stars are blue and they are the hottest celestial objects in existence, reaching millions of kelvin. The blue color comes from the low wavelengths of light particles.

finally .. i thought this was an obvious thing

she turned the bottom part of the bunson burner 🔥

I think, that Iroh or Roku, didnt use blue fire, because, they didnt think its neccesarry. Both are capable of doing things Azula can, atleast on her level, or better.

Imagine if she met the dragons after the war

Orange fire is the least hot, blue fire is the second hottest, red the third hottest, and the most hot is white (scientifically proofen) so if iroh or ozai managed to bend red or white fire there bending will be way stronger

@xInfoRaderx My theory is that due to her emotional control. Fire benders expend spiritual and emotional energy (anger usually) to bend, but since she keeps a cool head, the emotional energy is chanelled to enhance her flames.

@@jjnix95 So having a calm and precise attitude would lead to her mastering blue flames? Still wouldn't explain how Iroh doesn't have it either, I feel he's a man able to keep his emotions in check

I mean, Zuko at some point was easily angrier than everyone else in the show. I’m not sure the name means anything, Mako frequently lightning bends too but his fire is red.

Michael Ampadu Yeah that’s true, I was just thinking cuz her fire is solely based on anger and hatred and she never learns any other way. Zuko has a good heart and eventually learns to be good, so we know that he didn’t draw his fire power from hatred in the end, he learned to draw it from other things.

just realized fqjdj azul = blue in spanish azula

sky_4040 Yesss

Its more like she perfected it to the poimt where she could raise the temperature,or like said before. She incorporates her lightning technique

Wow-

Yes, you're right. Because when carbon burns it produces blue fire. So a candle flame that is blue usually implies that the carbon is also not being put to waste. So yes, it is cleaner.

so in other words azula’s a bunsen burner

In Brazil, we use butane gas (not propane) on stoves. The fire is aways completely blue. 😉

@@danielcastelo k

smart idea

Very good idea but can lightning be shot out through the foot

I can't 😂😂😂

@Anarchy TV wdym?

The pups probably make it black just to add to the coolness or the fact she’s a cold hearted person

It wasn’t because of her talent, it was because of her hate. Iro explained it to Zuko...

Zuko fire was given by the last dragons who are the first firebending master and zuko was able to train and master it which makes him stronger than azula still he his fire isn't blue

It's been confirmed it's so concentrated that it turns blue

You can’t blame Uraa for pushing her aside. If I was her I’d prolly shun her too ngl

She has mommy issues

@Ascended Aren't we supposed to be discussing each other's theories and giving our own? I don't see the problem.

@Lazy Science Nerd so in theory she's just special because ozai the most powerful fire bender his flames was yellow

So is Zuko, yet his fire is not blue like hers

@@kathydelao9597 according to the comics zuko's dad is ursa's lover back in her village

@@rubberchicken1219 that means he is still related to roku

@@rubberchicken1219 it's not. Zuko is clearly Ozai's son. Ursa said it at the end of the comic

@@rubberchicken1219 nah Zuko is Ozai's son. Ursa lied about her previous lover being the father because she suspected Ozai was intercepting her letters.

She may be evil but she got more discipline then 90% of the people today

No,

Kyan de Haan yes

When her mom said "you always had such beautiful hair":(

I mean, her name means Blue so it makes even more sense

@@joaovictor3312 And Bhoomi is a Sanskrit word for Earth

@@joaovictor3312in my opinion the bleu fire to her come naturally like she was born with that. I dont think it comea with skills or perfection. If that was the case then character like Iroh, Ozai or Roku or even sozin would have had bleu fire bc compare to azula, they were like 3times more skilled

Her name is blue in Spanish

I mean hey,her name says it all-

This should be the highlighted comment

Old I know, but this is actually something my friends and I thought was going to happen when zuko lost his bending. We thought and really believed his bending qas going to change color when zuko reconciled his internal struggle. We felt like since zuko still could not shoot lighting a fire color change would be a visual way of personifying his struggle and overcoming it. They kind of did this in the show as his fire actually made a different sound and was warmer when it did come back, but after they showed all those firbending colors, zukos comment about the colors and him saying "I understand", we were getting so huge that our theory was correct. We legit he was going to blast out green fire or something to show inner peace and him unlocking a secret to fire bending. We thought this would be a good way to build on the lore just a bit more and touch on why fire can take on different forms. That said, I understand why they didn't make this a more pronounced change as there were only a few episodes remaining and they were wrapping up the show. I do think if a retelling of the original show was done, this would be one of the changes I would add in (some other changes would be adding more sokka training episodes, for example I would love to see him work with more military planning minds on creative solutions, expanding on the white lotus much more, expanding the spirit world to be beyond just roku, and the lion turtle. The lion turtle really did feel like a deus ex machina and confused our high school selves . It really wasn't until after repeated viewings and Korra that I think we understood it more completely but I think and and the lion turtle could have explored the moral and value struggles aang was going through at the time. Aang should have gone on more of a spirit journey to understand the history of bending and why it works in that way to figure out and learn spirit bending instead of being gifted it. I think the moral struggles and him interacting with the last few avatars could have been one more internal journey aang took to become a fully realized avatar as he understood why bending works the way it does and how that effects and individual...that could have been a perfect explanation for why zuko temporarily lost his bending and I think they could have linked the two ideas together much more clearly so spirit ending wouldn't feel so surprising on first viewing

The other fire colors was such a wasted potential, i always feels like the Water and Earth bendings are much more developed, and are given more love

@@cheetah219 given how rare the blue fire is, it stands to reason the other colors might be rarer still. I always figured before watching the show in full that she has so much chi it saturates her fire, turning it blue.

Its certainly possible, she is the granddaughter to one of the most powerful firebenders in history and at the time, we didnt know much about their Mom. I remember tons of theories surrounding her mom saying she was a secret powerful bender or was a descedent from an avatar which is why azula is so powerful and gifted. In the flashback episodes, they showed her flames as red and obviously within just a few years they changed to blue. I believe, and i could be completely wrong, that the creators intended that azula had mastered a form of fire bending leading them to be blue. That said, there were real changes to zukos firebending after they met with the dragons just more subtle. Hell, his flames were on par with azulas, despite the comment. They were equal in ferocity. If not in the original series, it would have been a great touch that zuko mastered his internal struggles as an adult if his flames were a different colour as an adult

Then what about zuko

Blue fire is the hottest fire y’all don’t know anything about science I guess

​@@lifeline.6144 Fr lmaoo

did you know zoku all most masterd all 4 elements in the agni kai

Ok

@@eliasraycraft5862 it's not that he mastered all 4 elements, only the avatar can do that, but zuko incorporated moves from each element into his fire bending like uncle Iroh suggested!! It was an awesome touch to their agni kai

That fight scene out of context is confusing. There is an epic battle against the bad guy, but the music is... sad. If you watched the show fully, you would feel this sadness and it would make sense. Azula is a character with depth, motives, conflicts, traits. She is on the wrong side. Zuko managed to change and develop, but azula has gone mentally sick. To us, it looks like one of these characters is going to die, it is necessary for zuko to win, but it is tragic.

OMG... I had goosebumps!!! Your theory makes so much sense!

@@spirax888 Blue is the color of sadness

@@spirax888 blue is also associated with knowledge. Azula is a perfectionist prodigy. Now that makes sense.

HOT

Big brain time

Pedro Urbano that’s a pretty cool fun fact

Me too! Except I thought so because in Spanish blue translated to azul

Eh but remember when they said that she was named after azulon

Squishy I think you mean Azulon, her grandfather. And the was the reason stated in the show, the blue thing was just my second reasoning as it was a cool Easter egg

@@marijougonzalez8437 oh right right im stupid

Afaik there's no difference between 'psychopath' and 'sociopath', that's just Hollywood.

@@DrsJacksonn there is a difference

@@DrsJacksonn there definitely is a difference

@@papaload1192 To my knowledge that's made up and not actually a thing in psychiatry.

p247 you’re partially right, there are technically no clinical differences between psychopathy and sociopathy. they are terms used for the same official diagnosis - antisocial personality disorder. but it’s not just hollywood who uses psychopathy and sociopathy. there are researchers who disagree with using the terms interchangeably and think the distinction is important.

Yes, blue fire is hotter and more purified then orange fire. She could bend blue fire because she was a fire bending prodigy and a perfectionist. Due to this het fire bending was so good the flames turned blue

Yeah she definitely is a prodigy

When she was still a child her flame is red, how would you explain that

Goom santi well i have a simple answer It’s like getting getting airbending tattoos except natural once a prodigy has mastered fire bending it becomes blue (just my theory)

@@goom3103 Maybe because she wasn't at the level she is now? When things get better, we call it "progress".

then why is Ozai's fire is also normal and not blue?

Small brained

I always think about this when I watch videos like this.. Lmao.. The producers probably just thought some shit looked cool and put no thought into it, but fans run wild with crazy theories

You again... why do you watch everything I watch?

Bruh

Less easier to animate, more, allows interactions with other firebenders to contrast with hers. So when she fights Zuko, who is doing what doesn't get lost in the wash during complex interactions.

(better write "Todoroki" for more likes), just saying

Damn

@@jhannmichaeldepedstudent3682 sozzy😆

Lol that's alright😋

you had to make this about mha

i like this, i bet he would have been a benevolent fire lord, but not as humble as he is in the show. dont know about the whole world domination thing, depends if he was in the white lotus before or after lu ten's death

I think Iroh would be more closely aligned with the fire nation actually, more nationalistic and focused on fire nation superiority. It is implied that his son's death completely changed his entire character.

How long was he a member of the white lotus? If he was for most of his adult life I don't think he'd be just nice ozai. They'd still be radically different rulers.

Perhaps, but also because she was named after her grandad fire lord azulon

Pretty sure it’s just from Ursa and Azulon mashed together. Like Azulon and Ozai is Zuko. Azul/a Azuko/zai. It’s a stretch but I mean🤷🏻‍♀️

@@cruisindownthestreetinmy6490 Zuko cant be a combination.....There was no K.

John Smith eh I did say it was a stretch🤷🏻‍♀️

Have u noticed that most fire nation names have a "Z" (except Iroh, Lu Ten and Ursa but still.) *KUZON*

Exactly what I was thinking lol

I know She has the big sad

shes a perfectionist...a more controlled flame....as i notice it seems more compressed and faster with more force....when shes fights zooku both times his flames are wider...hers a more compressed and more forceful

cause the dragons are grandmasters that produce fires and flames more powerful beyond that of humans

There is a green fire and a colorless fire using like methane check Nile red

Because it's cool

haha

when the fans think deeper than the creators

The creators said it was to allow her fire to stand out from zuko or other firebenders

Actually. Mace Windu is a rare type of force user. The force within him is sort of a battle but not a battle. It’s like two armies were battling each other until they just found balance and peace and now they just chill with each other and benefitting each other. He can use both the dark side of the force and the light. But in reality yeah, samual Jackson asked for a purple one 🤣🤣💀

No that's wrong. the reason Mace Windu got a purple Lightsaber is because Samuel L jackson wanted a Purple lightsaber, that's the explanation for the first time Mace Windu was seen with a Purple Lightsaber, however the inuniverse explanation is different.

TheKHfan358over3d I explained it in a simpler way. I didn’t add mace windu was desperate for a purple one, because he had dreams of it. But I did say Samuel Jackson wanted a purple one. So the directors and writers had to make a whole reason to why he had a purple one.

Sam Jackson wanted a purple lightsaber so he stands out. See his interview with Graham Norton.

hmmm no his lightsaber is purple because of Samuel L Jackson... no other reason

A perfect burn. Fitting for the "perfect" bender.
