Bethany and Ken

Thank you for this info 🙏

This is actually the second time you see Iroh redirect lightning. The first was in S1E12. Also you did see Azula firebend during her fight with Zuko. The reason you might have missed it is because her fire is blue rather than red/orange meaning it burns far hotter than other flames.

Ah, Azula, animations most terrifying 14-year-old. Shoutout to Grey Delisle, my favorite VA of all time, for such an incredible performance. "Think she needs therapy." HAHAHAHAHA! Ah, understatement. In regards to Iroh redirecting Azula's lightning, we've actually seen him do it once before, in the episode "The Storm." To me, like Ken, the loss of the ponytail is an indicator that they're officially fugitives from the fire nation.

The ponytail cutting is referential to Japanese samurai having their ponytails to represent honor. Each nation in Avatar is based on different culture. The fire nation is based on Japan, the earth kingdom is based off China, the water tribe is based off of Eskimos, and air nation is based off of Tibetan monks and cultures
