His reign ended when he opted to abdicate the throne, leaving it to his daughter Izumi and going to live in semi-retirement on Ember Island. Channeling the ways of his old friend Aang, Zuko became an advocate for peace and balance in the world, although this was an informal, unofficial position, the specifics of which have not yet been elaborated upon.
He also took it upon himself to ensure the new Avatar's safety, in which capacity he fights Zaheer and his followers in Book 3: Change , having faced them many years before when they came after a very young Korra. Druk, Zuko's dragon companion and a descendant of Ran and Shaw, accompanied him during this time.
The 49ers announced today that they have released Hurd, who had been on injured reserve. A talented athlete who had [more]. Steph had a great reaction as Anthony Edwards told him he was chasing a milestone in Wednesday night's Warriors-T-Wolves game.
Bob Myers believes the Warriors will benefit from situations like the one between Draymond and Jordan Poole on the bench Wednesday. Powerful agent Scott Boras was critical of "the fact that the system allowed" Atlanta to win the World Series, despite being under.
Bears pass rusher Cassius Marsh was hit with taunting flag The penalty helped the Steelers score a field goal and Matt Nagy's team lost by two points. Draymond Green and Jordan Poole had a public kerfuffle, but it's not as bad as it looks. As Odell Beckham Jr. Here's what he told the C's All-Star guard.
The Rams have made another serious splash by adding Odell Beckham Jr. Zuko and his uncle visited the Western Air Temple in search of the Avatar. Zuko spent the next two years at sea, [23] fruitlessly and desperately searching for the Avatar. He searched the four air temples , beginning with the Western Air Temple , and scoured the world , searching even the most remote locations for his prize.
They were not royal guards or special forces and may well have been banished themselves or were foolishly intent on serving under the popular General Iroh. They were often unhappy under Zuko but obeyed his orders. Zuko interrogated the Southern Water Tribe village citizens, looking for the Avatar.
While traversing the Southern Water Tribe , Zuko and his crew saw a flare of an old Fire Nation cruiser , which itself had been shipwrecked a long time ago, light up the sky, and after seeing the Avatar flee toward a nearby village, Zuko ordered his crew to pursuit. The exiled prince descended, accompanied by a small number of soldiers.
Sokka charged at him; however, possessing more fighting experience, Zuko required only his bare hands to counter Sokka's primitive weaponry and swiftly dealt with him. After being initially struck by the Avatar who came at him riding a Penguin , a short brawl between the two ensued, but Aang ultimately surrendered in order to protect the villagers.
On Zuko's ship, the Avatar was locked in the brig before eventually escaping with the help of Sokka and Katara, much to Zuko's dismay and anger. Zuko wanted the repairs done quickly so they would not lose the Avatar's trail and warned Iroh not to mention the Avatar during their stay so no other firebender would start looking for him.
The commander of the harbor, Zhao , quickly found out the truth, and in a fit of rage, Zuko challenged him to an Agni Kai , which he eventually won thanks to the firebending advice from his uncle.
A bitter rivalry erupted between Zhao and Zuko, both wishing to capture the Avatar and deliver him to the Fire Lord. During the course of several weeks, Zuko pursued the Avatar and his friends through several parts of the either occupied or war-torn Earth Kingdom, finding and almost capturing him on Kyoshi Island.
This was not to save Aang, but so that he could personally be the one to deliver the Avatar to the Fire Lord. The explosion destroyed the ship and grievously wounding Zuko, who was now presumed dead.
When Zuko reunited with Iroh, he stowed away aboard Zhao's ship when his uncle accepted the offer to be Zhao's adviser out of grief. Zuko defeated Zhao. During the Siege of the North , Zuko managed to sneak off Zhao's ship and eventually made his way into the innermost part of Agna Qel'a , where he managed to kidnap Aang, who had meditated into the Spirit World.
Soon after, Aang's spirit returned to his body. After the Avatar woke up, the airbender tried to escape, but failed due to his restraints. Katara defeated Zuko, and prepared to leave with Aang. The young Avatar saved Zuko's life for a second time, insisting that Zuko must be brought along instead of being left unconscious in the snow, where he would surely die. Upon returning to Agna Qel'a, Zuko eventually managed to escape and attacked Zhao for trying to kill him. After the battle had been won by the Northern Water Tribe with the help of the ocean spirit, La , acting through Aang, Zuko and Iroh escaped the North Pole and traveled on a driftwood raft for three weeks until they reached land.
Zuko revealed himself as a firebender to a crowd of Earth Kingdom villagers. For their actions in the Siege of the North, both Iroh and Zuko were branded as traitors by Fire Lord Ozai , who sent Azula to track the fugitives and bring them to justice. After being adrift for weeks, Zuko and Iroh reached a village resort , where Azula unexpectedly greeted them and informed them that their banishment was at an end and that they could finally return home.
Zuko believed his sister, and was ecstatic at the prospect of going home. Iroh, however, remained skeptical, as he had never known Ozai to forgive anyone. The next morning, the duo nearly boarded Azula's royal sloop when Azula's ship captain referred to them as prisoners, revealing the plan and enabling them to escape after a brief showdown.
Zuko and Iroh, now fugitives, sliced off their topknots with Zuko's dagger, symbolizing their alienation from the Fire Nation. Despite his worsening hunger and lack of supplies, he decided not to rob a young couple when he noticed that the woman was pregnant.
While riding and slipping in and out of consciousness, Zuko saw visions of who appeared to be his mother, Ursa. On the brink of utter starvation and dehydration, Zuko made his way into a quiet Earth Kingdom town, where he befriended a young boy named Lee, without revealing his true identity.
When Gow, a ruthless Earth Kingdom mercenary, and his men bullied Lee's family, Zuko defended the family that had taken him in. During the battle, Zuko became overpowered and resorted to his firebending, revealing his identity. Shocked and horrified, the citizens of the town quickly turned on Zuko, and even Lee refused to thank him for his actions.
The ostracized prince then mounted his ostrich horse and left the town. During the final showdown in the Crystal Catacombs, Zuko ultimately chose to ally himself with Azula and fought against Aang and Katara. Zuko secretly followed his sister Azula while she had been tracking the Avatar with the tank train and eventually revealed himself in a deserted town where she and Aang were about to face off.
The face-off soon escalated into a full-blown brawl, with Team Avatar, Iroh, and Zuko acting, albeit unwillingly, against Azula. All six cornered Azula, who feigned surrender, only to attack and badly wound Iroh with her lightning generation in a moment of distraction.
Zuko, Aang, Katara, and Toph each launched an elemental attack, but Azula disappeared, utilizing a clever firebending move, whilst Zuko ran to his wounded uncle. When Aang and his companions approached, he angrily demanded that they leave, spraying fire at them.
When Iroh praised him, Zuko eagerly asked to try it out with real lightning, but Iroh refused, not risking the chance of him killing his nephew. Zuko, seeing a thunderstorm in the distance, told his uncle he would find his own lightning.
He climbed up a mountain in the middle of the storm, intent on accomplishing the task. He raged at the storm and the world, lamenting how it had never held back before in hurting him. No lightning came close enough, and, finally exhausted and emotionally spent, he broke down bitterly in tears, screaming into the sky. Zuko ultimately chose to ally himself with Azula and fought against Aang and Katara. In the ensuing fight, Aang was killed before later being revived with spirit water, and Iroh was arrested.
While Azula reassured Zuko that he had restored his own honor, the prince still appeared conflicted and somewhat regretful about his decision. Zuko absorbed Ozai 's lightning in order to redirect it. Returning to his country as a hero, Zuko learned that had Azula lied and told Fire Lord Ozai that he personally killed the Avatar. However, the trip proved to be an emotional journey for all, though despite its unpleasantness, it was also enriching.
Zuko openly berated his father and stated his intention to help Aang, using his uncle's teachings to redirect his father's lightning. However, Katara still remained bitter and apprehensive after his previous betrayal in the Crystal Catacombs, stating that she would kill Zuko with no second thought if he tried to hurt Aang again.
Zuko and Iroh reunited at the Order of the White Lotus camp. In the days before Sozin's Comet , Zuko and the rest of Team Avatar stayed on Ember Island, where they saw a play performed by the Ember Island Players , leaving them embarrassed and uneasy. Although she could not locate Aang, she was able to bring them to Iroh and the Order of the White Lotus. When Azula faced defeat, she aimed a lightning strike at Katara that Zuko leapt forward to save her from, leaving him wounded and immobile.
After Aang stripped Ozai of his bending and ended the war, Zuko was crowned as the new Fire Lord, giving a speech promising world order and harmony with the aid of the Avatar at his coronation. Zuko asked Aang to make the promise to end his life if he became like Ozai. After Zuko's coronation, he began to send out search parties for his mother, but their efforts were fruitless. Mai broke up with Zuko shortly after becoming aware of his meetings with Ozai. Zuko's efforts were met with resistance from nationalists, leading to six assassination attempts within his first year as Fire Lord.
The last of these assassins was Kori Morishita , the daughter of the mayor of Yu Dao. When Zuko came to the colony to confront Kori's father, he was surprised to learn that the mayor's wife and daughter were earthbenders, and that the residents of the city included people of Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom heritage living alongside each other for generations.
Realizing that it was unfair to uproot the inhabitants of the oldest colonies, the Fire Lord changed his approach to the Harmony Restoration Movement and ordered the Fire Army to secure Yu Dao. This led to brief a confrontation with Aang and Katara, though it ended when the Fire Lord agreed to the Avatar informing the Earth King about the situation and trying to convince him to change his mind.
As Zuko suffered from insomnia due to fears about assassination attempts, Mai arranged for the Kyoshi Warriors to become his bodyguards. When he was told that the Earth King was intending to invade Yu Dao, Zuko ordered his army to defend the city. Aang intervened in the Avatar State, and although he asked Aang to reconsider, he came to believe that his death would be for the best.
At that very moment, he was saved from falling into a chasm by Aang, and heard that the Avatar was able to reason with the Earth King. Zuko later acknowledged that the colonies could neither be Earth Kingdom nor Fire Nation, and worked with the Earth Kingdom to form new coalition governments.
Zuko listened as Ursa began to recount the story of her life. With Ozai still refusing to speak about his mother's whereabouts, Zuko turned to Azula for help. After Zuko released her from a mental health facility, she spoke to her father in prison and later found and burned a collection of Ursa's letters at the palace. Azula promised to tell Zuko what was in the letters, in exchange for being allowed to travel with Zuko unbound. Azula, Zuko, and his friends set off to Ursa's hometown of Hira'a despite the skepticism of Team Avatar.
Azula suffered a psychotic episode during the journey and had to be restrained. As the group camped, Zuko found a shocking letter that Azula had saved, which implied that he was the son of Ursa's childhood love, Ikem. After hearing that Ikem had gone to the dangerous Forgetful Valley , Zuko and the others made their way to the area, where they were confronted by the waterbenders Rafa and Misu. Zuko returned to Noren's house, ready to accept his new family, but at that moment, Azula attacked.
After Zuko confronted his sister, she fled the house and ran into the wild, leaving behind the letter. Afterward, the Mother of Faces asked Ursa if she wanted to regain her original face and memories, and she accepted. Ursa was overjoyed to see Zuko, apologized for leaving, and told him that the letter about his paternity was a lie to fool Ozai. She promised to tell everything about her life to Zuko, starting at the beginning. Zuko searched for Azula in the Forgetful Valley for weeks, but to no avail.
Some time later, Ursa, Noren, and Kiyi were ready to come to the capital despite his mother's reservations about returning. Cautious to make a safe return to the capital, Zuko and his family were nonetheless ambushed by the New Ozai Society , intent on Zuko relinquishing the throne.
Although Zuko and the Kyoshi Warriors were defeated, reinforcements arrived and fought back against the attackers. One month later, Mai's brother Tom-Tom was kidnapped, supposedly by the mythical Kemurikage spirits. Zuko discovered that a militia called the Safe Nation Society had been formed in response to the kidnappings, and ordered the group to be disbanded or be imprisoned. When the orders were carried out, the Safe Nation Society instigated a riot in the city that led to their imprisonment.
At the palace, Ty Lee discovered a passageway where Azula was hiding. As the siblings confronted one another, Zuko told her that the throne would never be hers, but his sister responded that her plan had been to mold Zuko into a ruthless and authoritarian Fire Lord.
However, at that moment, Zuko learned that his friends had been able to save Kiyi and the other children. After the end of the crisis, Zuko apologized to his people for his poor conduct and vowed to be a better Fire Lord worthy of their trust.
Zuko was quick to offer his support to fund the endeavor, but the Earth King was more hesitant. However, Kuei was kidnapped during the conference by Gilak and his band of Southern nationalists. Zuko aided in the rescue of the Earth King, coming to the Bridge of No Return , where he avoided Thod 's chi blocking by wearing heavy armor under his winter clothing. Aang managed to save both Hakoda and Malina in the battle, but Gilak fell to his demise.
With the crisis over, Zuko joined Kanna and Pakku in their igloo to share a meal with his friends. Aang and Zuko attended an event in Republic City 's early days. Zuko's commitment to allow the older Fire Nation colonies to remain in the Earth Kingdom and regulate the balance of power between them, rather than to forcefully remove them, eventually led to the creation of the United Republic of Nations with Republic City as its capital.
At some point in his life, he married and had a daughter named Izumi. So while Aang died at age 66, he still pops up in The Legend of Korra.
As Korra's previous incarnation, Aang advises Korra several times over the course of the series. Decades after the events of Avatar , Iroh left behind his mortal body and entered the Spirit World, where he opened a tea shop. He reappears as a Spirit World guide several times over the course of the series. Iroh also becomes the namesake for Lord Zuko's grandson. Those six are the main returning characters, but there are a handful of additional cameo appearances from Avatar in The Legend of Korra.
