It's about time I break down my favorite character from one of my favorite shows...I've done so many other Avatar character videos but this one was the most fun to make. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Glad Zuko was eventually reunited with his mother in the end. Her love helped form his good nature, and Iroh helped refined him

I just realized iroh lost his dad son sister n law n almost his nephew in the same week wow

Can you imagine being Mai's new boyfriend knowing that her ex is the FIRE LORD.

Zuko: “I DONT WANT ANY CALMING TEA’’ Iroh: ....... 🍵.....🥺

“Why am I so bad at being good? - Zuko This line summarizes his emotional journey before he became Fire Lord. The struggle Zuko had to endure and his steady growth through it all makes him one of the best characters of all time!

I'm pretty sure if you told bumi to act his age, he would have died.

Funny how his journey to find the avatar started at the Western air temple, and ended when joining the avatar in the same air temple.

Zuko becomes fire lord Earth kingdom citizens That’s Lee from the tea shop!

Zuko and mai relationship be like: ↗️↘️↗️↘️↗️↘️↗️↘️↗️

Sokka not only mastered the non bending abilities from each nation but attracted women from each nation minus Air respectively

Zuko was a momma's boy and Azula was a daddy's girl.

Todoroki: **Tells sad backstory** Zuko: *"Thats rough buddy."*

This timeline is a nutshell: *That's rough, buddy*

I blame ozai for azula, Jesus Christ imagine if azula also had the same love from her mother like zuko... zuko and azula would be the greatest duo of all time

Fun fact. The pregnant woman and her husband that Zuko refuses to take the food from, later on is seen inside of Ba Sing Se holding her baby, and Iroh caresses the baby and tell the parents how handsome their baby is.

Zuko's best skill is definitely his skills with swords, hes unmatched

Zuzu still owes Toph that life changing road trip. Edit: Thanks for the likes .

I'm still mad at when Zuko saved Lee and his family from those "protectors" but as soon as they saw he was a firebender they just left him

Really a shame that we didn't got much of Zuko and his family in Korra's age...

Zuko is definitely one of my favorite characters in ATLA. Started out as an antihero in Book 1 & 2 and then redeemed himself in Book 2. Zuko Alone is one of my favorite episodes because of character development on Zuko.

Ursa:never forget who you are then goes and changes her name in a distant city

my favourite line in the whole series is "why am i so bad at being good?" - Zuko

Zuko only became powerful when he learned firebending from other sources. His uncle taught him lightning redirection, the dragons taught him true firebending, aang taught him to be more circular for defense and katara taught him to be more precise. Only when straying away from tradition did zuko become a more powerful bender

Am I the only one who's noticed that there's a pretty big change in not just Zukos personality, but also his voices tone? He sounds a lot more angry and rough in the beginning of the series, but his voice get's softer and softer throughout the series, it gets more humble.

Zuko in ATLA: I must capture the avatar to restore my honor Zuko in LOK: the Avatar must be protected at all costs

I’ve always loved Zuko even when he hadn’t had his redemption arc yet. He was a very well written character and is definitely one of my favorites in the series.

We all have that "friend" who have seen just the first episode of ATLA and you have to convince him that Zuko is the best character of the entire franchise

Zuko: You either die a villain or live long enough to see yourself become the hero

Zuko really had a complicated life but in Avatar he is known to be one character that is best of swords and the true example of character development

Ozai didn't only scorn Zuko because he wasn't gifted. He found out that Urza had written that she wished her former lover was the father of her child. From then, Ozai, petty king, said that he would not treat Zuko as his own... I think she had to beg for Zuko's life. It's crazy to think, but Zuko was raised in a single parent home even though his sister wasn't .

He got burnt in the eye by his own father at the age of 13, Damn, That's rough buddy

Knowing that Zuko was taught by Master Piandao in the art of swordsmenship, and by Iroh in the art of firebending, he should be feared

Normal kids: Made ya look, made ya look, now you're in the baby book! Azula: *Dad's gonna kill ya! Dad's gonna kill ya!*

Zuko still owes Toph a life-changing field trip

man ... this is the worst childhood anyone could ever have I mean loosing your mother and getting a horrible scar burn from your own dad and having a dad that dispises u

Zuko book 1: HONOR! Zuko book 2: HONOR!! Zuko book 3: Why am I so bad at being good!!!

“I just asked if you were cold, I didn’t ask for your whole life story”

Zuko did not just speak out of turn during that war council meeting. He stood up for the inexperienced soldiers who were going to be used as bait on the front lines. He stood up for his own people and this is one of his most defining characteristics. That Zuko is kind and caring, no matter how much Ozai tried to squash that goodness out of him

20:36 that is the most emotion I've ever seen someone show while falling into their death

I just realized the pregnant woman zuko almost attacked is hope's mother from episode serpent's pass

1. The banished prince 2. A fugitive & A refugee 3. A traitor 4. The Firelord The greatest arc of redemption transformation phases has ever written

I don’t know if someone already commented this but i can’t believe how spoiled zhao was when Zuko tried saving him and called him weak we should appreciate he didn’t die

23:08 "Nephew!" from uncle iroh is so awwww heartwarming sorry but I miss him.

This dude could make the spiderfly caught in its own web sound interesting

1:41 I'm actually shocked to hear Ozai saving Zuko.

Zuko's character development is out of this world! Seems really realistic and interesting to follow. He started from the bottom to the top only to realize that there's another summit to climb, and another valley to cross. This show is a masterpiece!

9:24 I think Zuko’s redemption arc begins with him not stealing food from a couple when he found out the wife was pregnant

“I used to think this scar marked me, the mark of the banished prince, cursed to chase the Avatar forever. But lately, I’ve realized I’m free to determine my own destiny, even if I’ll never be free of my mark.” - Zuko

“Zuko’s my favorite character” How can you watch Avatar and NOT love Zuko?!?!?!?

From Clean Shaven, to Bald pony tail, to cut pony tail stump, to Buzz Cut, To messy, to “Hello Zuko Here”, to Really long, To 5 trillion miles long. I think this is the most character development lol

It’s funny to think that Zuko’s dad ruined who Zuko was but also saved who Zuko was by banishing him with Uncle Iroh. You really couldn’t have gotten banished with a better, wiser, more kind, gentle, and sweet man than Iroh.

You know, when Ozai saved Zuko, I actually believed that he had a small shred of kindness. But then I learned the real reason why and reality came back to me. Still, I was actually fooled.

Zuko is my Favorite character from the show, 1st he was a villain, 2nd he was anti-hero, 3rd back as a villain, & 4th he's know as a hero. He's story arc & his character development are tragic, pain, pride, depress, etc.

The scene with zuko trying to capture the bison and uncle iroh putting some sense into him is my favorite because those are honestly real conversations u can have with a parent “you need to start asking the big question, who are you and what do you want” that hits home because a frustrated parent will say that to you if you constantly keep making mistakes

at 9:18 do you realize that same pregnant couple is the one team avatar escorts through the serpents pass!

I think “spark in his eyes firebenders usually have” is normally called “that stare murders normally have”

Let’s just wait for someone in the comments to be Zuko and say: *That’s rough buddy.*

This show is so perfect man. I loved the character development for Zuko so much! See when you have a bad amd abusive father you either allow yourself to become him or worse to your kids, or you become everything you wanted/needed as a child growing up to your kids. We got to experience him becoming his father while zuko idolized him and did everything he could to make him proud but thanks to the guidance of everyone' (favorite) uncle Zuko became a better person, learned to coexist or overcome his demons, and successfully became everything that his father wasnt as a man. So in the end of an amazing journey, Zuko become everything he wanted but most importantly became a great, loving, and kind Father. Truly this show was a masterpiece. It's so sad that I don't see any possibility of another sequel or prequel achieving the level of rewatch ability, connection, of love for the characters and show in general.

Zuko always had good in him. He deserved a better childhood.

Welcome to Respect Zuko hours, my dudes.

“Choose a life of treachery, it’s more fun!” -Fake Iroh

What I learned from Zuko 1. Never ever give up on trying 2. don't get distracted by your goal 3. Keep finding life purpose 4. Obey your parents 5. Don't disrespect them 6. learn from life lessons 7. find loop holes to problems 8. If you find your way then no matter what you did in the past you'll continue doing good in the present 9.Try to correct past mistakes if possible 10. never too late to change 11. Try to help people 12. never get up without a fight 13. Stratergice everything

Zuko's life was filled with pain. "That's rough buddy."

That scene of Ozai burning Zuko's face and the way Zuko screams always breaks my heart. The storm is definitely one of my favourite episodes but I can't help but cry when you think how terrible of a father Ozai was. Zuko is definitely the best character written in fictional history with the best redemption arc. No other character could probably come close. Excellent video. Looking forward to Life of Katara soon 🌊

Things to describe him: Z - Zealous U - Unique K - Kind-Hearted O - Outstanding

17:19 Zuko apologizes Uncle Iroh really brings tears

As an abuse survivor I relate strongly to Zuko. His rather burned him across the face, nearly blinding him. Mine raped me multiples times and gaslit me for years with his wife who was not nearly as loving as iroh or zuko’s mother. I was angry in all the same ways he was, never related to a charicter more than him.

Your Zuko costume’s pretty good, but your scar’s on the wrong side!

Zuko’s honor ain’t coming back like sokkas boomerang

You forget that Mai is Izumi's mother! 3 years after the last comic book Mai and Zuko get back together

Well done! This video is so good, and your script was fantastic! Keep it up!

Zuko was supposed to have a pet hawk in the beginning of the series, but didn't make it.

He’s literally the best character in the whole show!

Fun fact I recently found out: In the Dutch translation/dub off Avatar, Zuko is voiced by the same voice actor who also does voice of Malfoy in the Dutch Dub off Harry Potter, Sander van der Poel. and I thought he does a good job.

Zuko is insanity skilled with his sword and fire bending combo style. Should mastered it better and just devastated everyone including his sister.

When Zuko explains his entire life to me “That’s rough buddy.”

Ironic that the guy who had one of the worst family dynamics, became the best parent compared to the rest of the Gaang.

I like this character because it made such a development. Once he got his honour back from his father he realized that "honour" is not something anyone can give to you but it is something you earn for yourself.

Iroh's knife: Never give up without a fight Zuko : * immediately kneels during his Agni Kai with his father *

New game: take a shot every time he says “honor” Edit: actually, every time he says “avatar”

Seems like the whole ATLA actually focused on Aang and Zuko's life as parallel, there were many scenes where both Zuko and Aang's stories mirrored each other, for example : Bitter Work. And there were also scenes where Aang and Zuko's feelings/emotions were shown mirrored each other, for ex : the ending of The Blue Spirit. And the most blatant comparison is when Aang and Zuko danced with the dragons in Firebending Masters, the frames shown each of them dance with a dragon behind them, Aang with the blue one and Zuko with the red one. Not to mention the conclusion of the story, where both the Avatar and the Firelord stood side by side before the nations. I forgot to add that one episode (i think it was The Storm) where the scenes kept switching between Aang and Zuko's background stories. Plus, the fact that both Aang and Zuko seemed to be "special", with Aang being the Avatar and Zuko the great-grandson of both the previous Avatar and the Firelord who started the war.

Zuko when he is older looks a lot like roku and they are related

I love how you make these Avatar video’s keep up the Amazing work bro! Btw Zuko is my fav character of the series to 🔥

Dang zuko is such a inspiring character

Zuko was such a kindhearted good kid. He was forced to be a bad guy and impress his father. As he got older All Zuko really wanted was his mother, Poor guy. But replacing his mother was his proud Uncle and I love how his Uncle was always there for him no matter what, he never judged Zuko for being himself. His Uncle is the reason for Zuko changing and becoming a better man.

The creators did say that zuko and mei end up together in the end. Izumi (their child’s name) meaning fountain is a call back to how they had that moment in the fountain as kids

I actually got to meet Dante Basco, the man behind the voice of Zuko, back at my first ever Comic-Con. Absolutely one of the nicest guys ever!

That moment when you realise you need 8 people to stop a 112 year old and a 10 year old

If only Zuko could preform swordsmanship in front of his grandfather, he could have maybe earned some respect from his father

Gotta love how Zuko went from "I must capture the avatar" to "I must ensure the avatar's safety"

Man you have so many wonderful videos !! Thank you for what you do !!

How can a father tell his son such horrible thing?! "You were lucky to be born" Imagine how heartbreaking it was for little Zuko

i wish it was in a actual show instead of a book

Zukos story makes me feel even worse for Azula. She never got any love as a child, and craved it but was still abused by Ozai.

Great job. Straight to the point in a good way. More channels should be like this. Very similar to avatars page!

If a perfect character arc was an award Zuko all the way

I like how Zuko and Sokka Debatably the best characters in the series were both trained by Pian Dao

This was beautiful!

Omg I have only watched the series and didn't know everything in between...thank you for making content like this...I am so glad that Zuko was reunited with his mum but saddened because Azula stole their baby sister from the palace...I never liked Azula but have always loved Zuko and Iro and their travels together...as well as the character development of Zuko it was amazing...truth I almost cried when Zuko was trying to communicate to his uncle after Zuko betrayed him...their relationship was so bad for the time they were apart...2 of the best characters of the avatar series
