this episode reall told me something about the history of the show. I liked how they used both zuko and aang in it but still had history!

but this is one of the most important short-term triggers of Zuko realising what he has to do .... join the avatar and help him restore balance

but zuko never told aang

what difference does that make?
it caused him to change
aang didn't really care about the exact reasons

by **scourge118** » Sat Jul 26, 2008 1:11 am

just as long as he changed

it would've been cool if zuko and aang discussed their pasts. it's so weird how that connection works.

It's really hard to believe how two BEST friends, grown up in the same nation, city, location grew up to be nothing more than enemies to one another.

I really wish Roku escaped from the island though... I think this chapter was somehow sadder than the Southern Raiders. :(

but zuko never told aang

Yeah I always wondered why zuko never told aang about roku being his grandfather. Like you guys said I guess it doesn't matter cause zuko changed regardless.

This is also one of my favorite episodes cause it proves aang and zuko were always meant to work together to save the world. Roku was awesome going into the avatar state to battle the volcano but it was so sad how fang went to die with roku. Still an awesome episode.

In a way, Aang and Zuko are related to Roku. Aang by life(avatar) and Zuko by blood.

This episode was great! I finally found out how our war started. The sad part of this was that My favorite avatar of all times died trying to stop a valcano and breathing in poison gas.

That was an interesting twist that Zuko is related to Roku. You'd have obviously thought about the connection to the fire lord but that wasn't his only connection. Aang talked about the capacity for great good and great evil and that's exactly what Zuko has to tackle inside himself. He's got both of those bloodlines inside of him. Azula simply took on that darker side despite also sharing that connection. Glad as well that Zuko and Iroh are talking again.

Good for Aang to heard this story and understand. Can't just see everyone in the fire nation as evil. They have the ability to choose just like anyone else in the world.
