okay i’m pretty sure that a meta had already written this before, but i just had to get it out of my head. and i know that may i be looking in too deep into this but anyways.
at the final agni kai, zuko took the lightning for katara right? and a lot of locals and other people that i don’t associate with said that zuko would’ve taken the lightning for anybody else from the gaang if they were put in the same situation as katara. and i do think that is true.
but have any of you considered the fact that azula may have not aim the lightning to every other member like she did with katara?
azula was slipping, losing even, to her brother whom she had considered was weak in comparison to herself. but then he managed to overpower her, so she has to find something to beat him. keep in mind at the time of the comet zuko was a lot more focused and powerful than he usually is, so there are only few blind spots in order for azula to defeat him but even those blind spots would not completely overthrow him, azula knows that. damn it he was even ready to redirect that frickin lightning. but then she saw her in the back, someone whom everytime is in the same presence at the same time as zuko was (from azula’s point of view), is the person who’s had various of moments with zuko that signifies that she is very much important to zuko compared to the other members of the gang, azula found his weakness. and so she used the only open weakness she could find of zuko at the time against him.
