Firelords avatar8/2/2023 ![]() It was twelve years before the best friends met again, with Roku as a “fully realized Avatar” and Sozin as Fire Lord. There’s a clip of Roku (back in Fire Nation garb) using all four elements. Next up, Roku went to the Earth Kingdom to learn earth-bending from Sud, who turned into a lifelong friend. I’m not quite sure, but it looks like the city was even larger in the past. Like Aang with earth-bending, it was initially challenging but he got ahold of it. Years later, Roku went up to the Northern Water Tribe to learn water-bending. When Aang is pleased but surprised by the shared friendship, Roku tells him, “Some friendships are so strong they can even transcend lifetimes.” It turns out that Roku and a preteen Gyatso were friends and rode gliders together. “As a matter of fact, they do not,” Sokka informs her in a callback to “Winter Solstice, Part 1”.Īang is pleased as they near the Southern Air Temple. Uncomfortably Katara asks, “Do they have bathrooms in the spirit world?” The siblings watch Aang worriedly as he crouches and there’s a fart-like noise. They bow to each other as Zuko keeps reading. Sozin gives him the crown prince’s hair thingy (I don’t know the word, and the commentary never discusses it). To be fair, it’d probably be best to pack light on a world-spanning journey. According to the Fire Sages, the Avatar doesn’t need “worldly possessions”. Roku is moping in his room to Sozin’s concern, so he tries to cheer him up. Zuko is reading the scroll about Roku leaving to master the other elements. I have to wonder if the Avatar (besides Korra, that is) ever figured out they could bend multiple elements before turning sixteen. However, they’re here to reveal that Roku is the Avatar and everybody, even Sozin, bows before him to his shock. The Fire Sages arrive, making Sozin concerned about his father. It turns out that the two shared a birthday. When Aang expresses discouragement about love, Roku assures him that it gets “easier” as one grows older. The former is awkwardly crushing on a teenage girl to his friend’s amusement. ![]() It turns out that Roku and Sozin were best friends as youths. There’s a flashback to two fire-bending teens playing around. He quickly finds the scroll that’s the “Final Testament of Fire Lord Sozin”. He finds a statue that doubles as a room entrance. A cloaked Zuko manages to enter and go down the spiral stairs. The commentary makes a joke about how Uncle Iroh must have used lemon ink. Unable to sleep, Zuko tosses the ‘annoying’ scroll onto a lantern, which reveals a hidden message about how the Fire Sages keep secret histories in the Dragonbone Catacombs. He’s back to his ‘normal’ self in the spirit world and Roku arrives on his red dragon. Azula is cruelly sarcastic and recounts the official history of Sozin, who died in his sleep as an old man.Īang is facing the sunset as he meditating. The art book admits they never named the first two, but the others are Sozin, Azulon, and Ozai. Zuko stares up at the massive portraits of the previous five Fire Lords. Upon landing, Toph reveals that there’s a large village buried in ash. It tells him he needs to learn the truth about his great-grandfather’s demise.Īppa’s hidden in a cloud that Aang’s bending as they approach the seemingly empty island. Zuko can’t sleep and finds a scroll outside his bedroom. There’s an image of an island with two volcanoes. ![]() ![]() ![]() Roku emerges from flames in Aang’s dream to explain that he needs to learn how the war began to learn how to end it, telling him, “Meet me on my home island on the day of the summer solstice.” Last time on Avatar: The Fire Nation teens went to the titular island. Sparky Sparky Boom Man aka Combustion Man earned his savage reputation through numerous victories in these battles.Roku has Aang visit him in the spirit world to learn about his past. In more modern times, it has also become something of a spectator sport with large crowd turnouts. It is considered disrespectful to the spirits to burn someone on a day of celebration. However, challenging someone to an Agni Kai on certain holidays is forbidden. The Agni Kai is a long-revered tradition in Avatar's Fire Nation, with even the royal palace containing a chamber specifically for these duels. The loser of the duel, if they survive, will shave portions of their head as a sign of their humility in defeat. Typically, like in Zuko's case, an Agni Kai ends when one combatant burns another. Sparing an opponent was once a gesture of honor, but Fire Lord Sozin turned it into a sign of weakness. Killing one's opponent in an Agni Kai isn't required, but it isn't exactly frowned upon either.
