MP36BRAVO

he recorded it at some point after having already known he was dying, its why he gets emotional in the recording.

Hey Alex: during the really touching moments, take a few beats to take it in and experience it (and let your viewers experience it with you). THEN, make a comment, but only after the moment is over. Talking over it interrupts the energy and poignancy of the scene and we don't get a chance to experience it with you.

Mako, the VA of Iroh died shortly after recording Leaves From the Vine.

Michael

what do you mean? i dont get it

LoreKing

And so ends the era of Mako's Iroh

MrPeran

I think Iroh's story should've been last. Could barely focus on the other ones after that one lol

MrPeran

First time the show got me really emotional

Impulse RL

17:39 made me laugh out loud at work 🤣🤣🤣

Koty Taylor

Seen this 10 times probably still cry when iroh plays leaves from the vine

Viktor Dragov

Dude I didn‘t think I‘d cry watching this while Alex is reacting to it… got me good

Hannes Netinder

Crying like a baby every single time I watch this episode…

Indica Ink

I'm not gonna lie, there's literally not a better way to order the stories in this episode. It's pacing is actually perfect.

Ethan

Alex mate you have to watch (Warrior) with Tom Hardy an Joel Edgerton if you haven’t seen it plz

A few of Iroh's lines were recorded by Greg Baldwin, however there are some that were recorded by Mako, most notably the picnic for Liu Ten and the song at the end.

Tyler

I really hope Alex reads these comments on this video and then rewatches this part of the episode

Mako Iwamatsu, the voice for Iroh, recorded the lines for this episode in the hospital. He had esophageal cancer, and was on his death bed. His song at the end were some of the last words he ever spoke. Greg Baldwin, who took over for Mako as the voice of Iroh, has stated that he will never record his own version of "Leaves from the Vine" out of respect for Mako.

Daisy Azuras

He really should’ve stayed more quiet during the iroh sequence out of respect for the man, but at least he realized what was happening by the end. Did anybody explain to them that the Voice Actor died?

Mo Ma

No matter how often or how prepared I am to see "The tale of Iroh" I still cry everytime, just like One Piece episode 36😭

Chess Red Eagle

And The Tale of Iroh claims another victim. It remains undefeated.

Cole Romero

The reason Sokka got kicked out was because he said a line with 6 syllables instead of 5. Haiku’s follow a pattern of 5-7-5 syllables.

Cole Romero

I swear every time I hear Iroh say “if only I could have helped you” I can’t control myself

LtGambler

Time to grab the tissues..

Berri

The voice actor of iroh was Mako and he died that's what the "in honor of mako meant" the voice actor changed later

Oliver

😔🕊️rip

Oliver

If ZenNova doesn’t cry here she definitely has not a heart

ariel

Well time to cry

Oliver

And this is the last episode with the cabbage merchant 😔

Joovain

Leaves from the vine Falling so slow Like fragile tiny shells Drifting in the foam Little soldier boy Come marching home Brave soldier boy Comes marching home

Oliver

The tragic true part behind this Episode is that the voice actor of Iroh was diagnosed with cancer and had no chance of surviving. The picture of Irohs son is actually a picture of the voice actor when he was young and he was actually crying over his own death here. And hearing the sound of his broken voice crying over the fact that he will definitely die makes me shatter. This is also the last season we have with this amazing Voice Actor! RIP Mako🕊️

Sad Fact: the original voice actor for uncle Iroh was Mako who sadly passed away at the age of 72 due to cancer. The picture you see of his son is what Mako actually looked liked at a young age when he was in the military. Mako was actually crying during his recording because he knew he was gonna die soon and he Loved playing Uncle Iroh so he was saying goodbye to his fans, loved ones, and to his favorite character. RIP Mako
