Since it’s Father’s Day, here are my top favorite Zuko and Iroh moments:
“Even in exile, my nephew is more honorable than you.”
“Did you really mean that uncle?” “Of course, I told you Ginseng tea was my favorite.”
This shot in which words cannot do justice: x
Zuko choosing to go after his uncle instead of his honor the Avatar.
“Excellent form, Prince Zuko.” “You taught me well.”
“Now, will you please put on some clothes?”
Iroh just completely messing with him during the pirate episode.
“THE LOTUS TILE WAS IN MY SLEEVE THE WHOLE TIME!” *That smile mixed with Zuko’s anger*
THE ENTIRE STORM EPISODE JUST YES
That moment when you realize that Iroh didn’t need to go with Zuko. That Iroh could have stayed as a royal member of the Fire Nation. That Iroh chose to give up everything to accompany Zuko in exile.
Iroh refusing to join Zhao.
We don’t talk about the face/voice when he sees the ship explode.
“Ever since I lost my son, I think of you as my own.”
“I see; it’s the anniversary, isn’t it?”
Zuko sending Iroh away and him coming back in order to save him from Azula.
When they cut off their hair.
“Remember that plant I thought might be tea?” “You didn’t.” “I did and it wasn’t.”
When they were giving each other horrible names in the abbey.
When the man makes Iroh sing and Zuko becomes angrier and angrier before totally attacking the man later that night.
We don’t talk about them splitting up.
But with that being said, the notion that Iroh followed Zuko across an entire continent for weeks because even though Zuko didn’t want him, he still needed him.
We don’t talk about Zuko’s face when Iroh gets shot with lightning.
“Come on, you’ve got to feel the flow.”
“What are you, crazy? Lightning is very dangerous.”
“Yeah, but I’m not going to shoot lightning at you!” And that moment when you realize that Iroh is not going to be the adult who shoots a dangerous weapon at this kid (unlike his brother).
Just Zuko and Iroh living together in Ba Sing Se and working hard in a tea shop before eventually owning their own tea shop together I love it so much.
Iroh totally setting Zuko up on dates
This shot in which words don’t do justice: x
The speech under Lake Laogai.
Iroh sitting at Zuko’s side and nursing him back to health.
THIS SHOT IN WHICH WORDS DON’T DO JUSTICE: x
WE DON’T TALK ABOUT THE BETRAYAL SCENE!
Ozai (Sarcastically): Your uncle’s gotten to you, hasn’t he?
Zuko (Smiling): Yes, he has.
“Zuko, you must look within yourself to save yourself from your other self. Only then will your true self reveal itself.”
And of course, this entire scene:
And my all-time favorite:
Iroh: You should rest. A man needs his rest.
Iroh: Rest. A man needs his rest.
