My argument for the tale of Iroh is that he helps the citizens of Ba sing se and doesn’t blame them for the loss of his son because he knows it’s not their fault so instead he helps them like he wished he could have done for his son
spinosaurusrex AHHHH MY HEART
*tale
Iroh didn't have a tail
Wow I didn’t know Iroh’s part could’ve been more painful but now it is
Damn onions making me cry. Oh wait, there aren't any.
Ok so now I’m crying 😭 are you happy now?
The best part of Katara and Toph is when Katara says “I think you’re pretty” Toph K N O W S she isn’t lying and believes it
But no one ships them, which makes me mad cause when Sokka and Zuko have an episode all about saving Sokka's girlfriend people ship them for no real reason
Oh shit. Right...lie detector.
@@ninjay204 😂
@@ninjay204 No
@@EmptyHand49 No to which part, you gotta be specific if you wanna correct me
I think you missed in Iroh’s story that everyone he helps represents his son. He can’t get rid of the paternal instinct and sees his son in every young boy he meets
Juli L And since he’s already an old man, every boy is young to him
Yeah it’s clear he didn’t catch that, the story before the end is what makes the end more powerful.
plus his son is death because of his empire ambitions, so theyre not just about good actions, theyre about guilt that has become redemption
It also flows chronologically. The flower represents birth, and each person he helps after that is a little older than the last.
Dang I’ve watched ATLA so many times over the past ~10 years and this never crossed my mind
Also toph can detect lies so she knows katara isn’t lying and genuinely likes her
That's a nice touch isn't it?
You made that section 10 times better and I already thought it was a 10 out of 10
Azula says otherwise
She also says she punches people to show affection, which is exactly what she does to Katara at the end of the tale.
Or Katara is being brainwashed😱😱
Iroh
Helps the flower bloom: Birth
Cheers up the little boy: Young Child
Teaches the kids playing ball: Teen
Teaches the mugger: Young Adult
And then mourns the death of his son
He went through the stages of his son's life
He also helps Zuko because he couldn’t help his own son
@@xander3202 redemption for the inner disgust for his personal failure.
Thank you for posting this. This is what he missed in his analysis. Really the tale of iroh is subtle and masterfully made. Def my #1
Got chills reading this
Bro I’m gonna cry
Zuko saying “it was nice” melted my goddamn heart, he deserves to be happy
The ending made me so happy except they didn't show him reuniting with his mom
@@queenicedcoffee4217 You have to read the comics for that.
Me tooooo
What Is This?! | Yeah... but the comics were made by only 2 of the 3 heads of the show. It sorta shows, too. They're like The Beatles. Good by themselves, but only truly excellent together.
There's good characters and great action, but it lacks the... scope and gravitas of the original show.
I think the third guy was responsible for that, seeing as he went on to make The Dragon Prince, a show with _fantastic_ scope, but kinda lacking in character and action.
Meanwhile the other two made Legend of Korra, a show with fun characters and awesome action, but absolutely 0 cohesion to pull it all together.
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth I used to think that the seasons in Korra were sorta disconnected, but after rewatching it on netflix I've changed my opinion. It doesn't have the cohesion of Aangs story, but each season is affected by the previous one, and I feel that the world evolves organically and more significantly than the original.

There's such a gutwretching tone to irohs tale, him knowing it's the birthday of his dead son and doing this kind little things throughout the day.. you can see the sadness in his face, but an accepted sadness, knowing life is still beautiful. The more i think about it the more i cry
The voice acting was unintentionally good actually. Search up the story behind the episode :(
@@kiwibanana7590 but I don't wanna be sad :(
Your comment made me want to cry already
That part of the story is one of the few shows that can make me cry more than once or twice
Still prefer Iroh, but I feel people do sleep on Tale of Zuko ngl.
Definitely second favorite.
Why does it say this was posted 1 day ago?????????
patreon?
Kevin Jeff the fourth because youtube is fucked
Iroh is my favorite character and his tale just spoke with me on an emotional level. His happiness and willingness to help others because he doesn't want others to hurt the way his son did. He never had the chance to tell the little soldier boy to come marching home, and the boy never got to come home. But Zuko is undoubtedly the second best, especially since Zuko is the second best character
But
What does it add that we dont already know? It doesn't really have any poignant messages, it gives no new take on the character, and it's not even as charming as Aang's and Sokka's tale. It's still good, but I don't find it very interesting
Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of those shows

@@megabuster3940 even some main episodes are boring
@@megabuster3940 LMAOOOOOO. I swear if I have to see that swing one more goddamn time
That song at the end of "The tales of Ba Sing se" was so beautiful and had so many layers. It wasn't just a tribute to Mako, it was from what I've been told the last audio clip they got from Mako of him singing to himself after because he knew he was going to die from Cancer so that crying was actual crying. The new voice actor for the uncle said hed never sing that song on the show because that was Mako's song. The image of the uncle's son was actually a portrait of Mako that he got in his youth. And it's also just an amazing scene for that character and makes me cry every time i hear it (no joke)
That's sadder than Berserk.
You just made me cry 1000x harder than I ever cried over this episode
I thought I detected a voice change with Iroh in the third season (part of why I feel they didn't have him on screen much) but I didn't realize the actor had passed that early on. Hearing all this definitely makes me glad they gave him the proper recognition he deserved. RIP my guy.
That’s crazy wtf
Reading this made me cry and reminded me of the whole song. DAMN IT IM CRYIN AT 1 IN THE MORNING 😭
Everyones gangsta until Uncle Iroh starts singing “ Leaves from the Vine”
you watch scissor seven???, cause you know the guy that stuns people with a sad song to fire notes at them, iroh can do that.
Uncle Iroh: Leeeaaaves from the vi-
Me: Shut up I'm not crying you're crying
[sobbing]: listen here, you *cLOD--*
Why is everyone still crying over this song
Mak Chot because it’s sad as heck.
Lapis stop pulling out water form my eyes
GOODBYE-😭😭😭
I still see Iroh’s tale the best because it shows him helping a young boy, adolescent boys, and a young man, the stages of life that his son was able to live through. Everyone knows that the final scene is a masterpiece but it becomes so much deeper when you connect it to him helping these boys/ men. He is the ideal male role model that he couldn’t be for his own son. As a young man with good male role models in my life, I wouldn’t be the same man without them. Just as Iroh isn’t the same man without his son.
Sam Thiel also he gets swole as fuck too.
Aaand I'm crying
Why are people making the wound hurt even more?! I had yet to realize thi
@@ZyroShadowPony
This video expounds more on Iroh's Tale.
czcams.com/video/SezGJNNZmtI/video.html
And it only reinforces Iroh's relationship with Zuko. Its easy to see why Iroh continues to be this good male role model even after it can't help his son, and that's because he likely feels he can be that for Zuko; he can help Zuko where he failed his son. These are some of the reasons I love the relationship between Iroh and Zuko, one of the best in the series. In any series, really.
I think you should’ve covered, “happy birthday my son, if only I could’ve help you.” This dialogue hits me way harder, because the reason iroh never considers not helping someone is because he couldn’t help his son when he needed him
STOP the Iroh tale breaks me enough as it is.
Are we not gonna talk about how appa’s lost days is one of the saddest goddamn episodes in all of animation
it's incredibly powerful and shows the confidence the writers have in themselves, to do an entire episode centered around a non-human character who has no audible thoughts, no speech, not even a human-analogue face to read. They believed in the strength of their writing and the animation team and it payed off powerfully, as such things do when made well. I outright cried for a nonexistent animal's pain because they took such care to characterize him
9/10 for me
Everytime I rewatch ATLA I always have to skip Appa's Lost Days because of my love for animals. It hurt me so much to see an animal in pain and everytime I think of that episode it makes me tear up.
Am I the only one who thought that episode was boring?
100%! 😭😭😭💔💔💔
He did say that he doesn’t like presenting already popular opinions with this show but I think I speak for everyone when I say that we would watch and love that anyway

"Tales of Ba Sing Se?" I'm not familiar. Are you referring to Season 2 Episode 15 "The Tale of Iroh And A Bunch Of Other Shit That Has Nothing To Do With The Tale of Iroh?"
They all have alot to do with "The Tale of Iroh", "The Tale of Zuko" especially. Iroh encourages Zuko to do normal things a teenager his age should be doing- making friends, having fun, relaxing, maybe getting a girlfriend... y'know, things Lu Ten couldn't do. Iroh wants Zuko to live the happy, peaceful life his son couldn't. He wants that for everyone, which is what we see them (sans Momo) doing.
@@Silburific bruh he made a joke the essay wasn’t necessary lmao
@@Silburific I now have the the image of "Sans-Momo" in my head, and I love it.
Yes that one
I feel like they probably should have rearranged the segment order. That would have been a good ending; putting segments after it weakens them because people are still reeling from it.
"Is the Tale of Iroh the best part or is the ending the best part?"
Both. Zuko is definitely good, but the bit where Iroh sits down and gives life advice to the mugger kills me.
Sad Fact: the picture of Lu Ten, is actually a young Mako (voice actor of Iroh)
I.... feel sad now...
I know it looked a little real if you know what I mean.
I knew that and it kind of broke me :(
That just makes it 50x sadder and my heart is broken
:'(
Mako wrote that song when he realized he was going to die.. that makes The Tale of Iroh even sadder to me :(
I know very little about Mako, but he seems as though Iroh was not so much a character as much as himself.
shit just reading this comment brought tears to my eyes again
By the way, Iroh's son portrait is Mako's one when he was young. I'll just leave this here and go cry under my blanket like the adult I am
His name is Lu Ten not Mako
@Frame Pucci he’s talking about the voice actor of iroh
I don't think Iroh's ending works without the rest of the short so I personally believe as a whole it's the best not just because of the ending.
He says "if only I could've helped you" it links into the first half. Like he's helping others because he failed to help his son.
Iroh fathers several people on his son's birthday.
It's enough to make a grown man cry.
I think that Iroh’s story should’ve been last. It would’ve made the song and end tribute a bit better. You go from a sad depressing story to a goofy filler with Aang.
Well, the change ws probably intentional, cheers you up I guess. But I misunderstood last as last place/worst and nearly rioted
Momo's tale was last because it was the only one with plot relevance.
I always thought the order should've been start with Sokka then go to Aang then go to Toph and Katara then Zuko then Momo and finish it off with Iroh.
I swear to god, I thought Zuko and Iroh's stories were swapped for the longest time. In terms of placement.
I feel like it should have gone Aang and Sokka first, then Katara/Toph and Zuko, and then finally Iroh and Momo.
Lets be honest, if that girl from Zuko's tale was named honour he would've probably stayed in Ba Sing Se
Neb nah i hated her
Doesn't Jin come back in the comics?
@@dip.918 Briefly, and not in any significant way.
Neb Mai broke up with Kei Lo in the comics and the creators hinted that she got back together with Zuko
Tbh it would be awesome if they did reveal her to be the mother of Zuko's children in Korra would be awesome

Noone's even noticed!?
A massively slept on episode is: The blue spirit
A great story with incredible humour (Sokka going mad), Phenomenal music, Stunning action (zuko and aang having to work together), and incredible character development.
On top of this it sets up zuko’s turn to helping the avatar, and that ending!!!
“Maybe we would have been friends too”
Blue Spirit is regarded as a Top 3 episode of Book 1, alongside The Storm and The Siege of the North, Part 2.
On the point of Zuko eventually helping Aang, The Western Air Temple is massively slept episode on as well. Seeing Zuko getting rejected (at first) by team Avatar while (we the audience) knowing that he’s finally switched sides is most of the most heartbreaking scenes in the show that no one talks about (even though the Gaang’s initial reaction is justified). I also like how even after he’s accepted into the Gaang, most of them still don’t fully trust him (except Toph, who knew that Zuko was being sincere cuz she can read heart palpitations). Which acts as a great setup for the next few episodes where he helps Aang, Sokka, and Katara and becomes a member of the Gaang.
@@taylorsly2392 That episode makes me cringe more than Scott's Tots. For some reason I get insane second-hand humiliation from Zuko trying to convince them he's on their side.
Taylor Sly That episode is my favorite in the entire show. It’s so nice to finally see three seasons worth of a redemption arc be completed.

I have to say without a doubt. My favorite moment of this episode is when Katara tells Toph that she thinks she’s beautiful. Why is this so important? We know that Toph can feel the earth and use that to tell whether or not someone is lying. So this is my favorite moment because Toph can tell that even if those girls from earlier think she was ugly, Katara thinks she is beautiful. And it wasn’t just a lie to make her feel better, Katara genuinely believes that Toph is beautiful and that is just such a beautiful moment.
if she was lying, just to make Toph feel better, then my opinion of that part of the episode would have diminished greatly. I'm really glad Katara told her the truth.
They hadn't revealed her lie detectors skills yet

9:48 "... It's upside down, isn't it."
One of the funniest lines in the entire show. Because she realises she messed up the poster, but it's even worse than she thinks.

#momolivesmatter
Even though the Tale of Aang didn’t have any heavy emotional moments, I think the whole thing was about his loss of Appa. He was looking for Appa but knew he couldn’t do anything in that moment to help him, so he helped the animals in front of him instead. That is a form of coping.
The sheer badassery of Iroh disarming the mugger only to hand him back the knife and demonstrate proper form will never cease to get a chuckle out of me.
The Tale of Toph and Katara is so underrated, the part where Toph's crying and Katara tells her "and I know it doesn't matter, but you're really pretty" is so sweet! and it's nice to see the two of them struggling with normal teenage girl things
Right? It's little details they build that makes Avatar so great. The episode was really heartwarming, especially seeing Katara and Toph be the teenage girls they are and still be absolute badasses. People writing female characters need to take notes on the girls of Avatar.

Fanboy and Chum Chum
A lot has already been said about Iroh grieving for his son, my take I would say is a little more multifaceted, Iroh was swept up in the war and fought along his son, he was a honored general and commanded thousands for the sake of the fire nation, in some regards he was quite a decorated leader. War comes at a cost and Iroh lost his son, a part of Iroh was lost that day as well and stricken with grief knowing he couldn't have saved his only child he lost his touch being a general but not a fighter. When tasked to look over his nephew Zuko the years of searching for the avatar and war efforts being made something changed in Iroh he saw Zuko going down a dark path, Zuko was obsessed with appeasing a system the he now saw as not as mighty as he once thought, with age, grief and discipline Iroh knew he had a second chance and to save Zuko from himself before the war took him as well. Even when Zuko abandoned him Iron knew his allgence was to Zuko and too what his late son stood for not died for too family. Thats what I feel Iroh was going through by the end of the show he wanted to save the last shred of innocence Zuko had and keep him from becoming the monster his brother become or dying for a father than never really loved him. In the end Uncle Iroh was Zukos real father and writing all of this is nearly bringing me to tears so I'm gonna stop now. Have a good day.

I personally prefer irohs tale over Zuko but it’s your opinion.
Man that scene where iroh asks how the day went and zuko slams the door only to open it back up softly and say "it was nice" just always gets me. It's the delivery I just love I guess, it's so sincere and bittersweet. Getting to see zuko being aloud to be a normal teen for just a little bit and having to admit that he actually enjoyed doing something frivolous. Looking sad bc he's convinced he shouldn't want it. I just love that tiny end scene in particular and idk if I'm explaining why right lol. Jin doesn't realize how much good she did that boi
Having Zuko’s scar on the wrong side is really bothering me. I get you did it to throw off the copyright infringement bot but my brain is just screaming “Your scar is on the wrong side!”

Nice costume, but I’m pretty sure the scar is on the wrong side.

There’s no Shrek 3 in Ba Sing Se

Actualy, there is a Shrek 3. It's Call Shrek Forever After

"If you don't cry from Iroh's tearful tribue-"
Boi, I'm crying watching this scene in this vid with your commentary over it
Man, Rest In Peace Mako Iwamatsu, you brought a truly lovely character to life in this flawless tale of love and war, you will be missed, along with your masterpiece known as Iroh. (I couldn’t find a canon surname for him)
Anyone: *breathes
Katara: My mom used to breathe
Katara: "My mom used to say words."
That's rough buddy
Katara: my mom was killed by the fire nation, no-one could ever understand how bad I feel...
Sokka: you know she was my mom too...right?
Suko: my mom disappeared and my father burned my face and I was banished from the fire nation
Aang: my whole life was taken away from me and the air nomads where almost completely extinguished
Katara: did I stutter?
@@alexrodriguezelle9260 Katara: "I said my mom was killed!"
Iroh: "So was my son."

If Iroh's story isn't second or first imma riot
Good
no
@C-3PO Protocol Droid I mean, yeah, it's not like he was pretending to be someone else responding to himself. The "good" was referring to " oh okay it's second, *good* "
Though it could have been done in an edit..
C-3PO Protocol Droid I’m sure he’s just responding to how Iroh’s is number 2
The tale of Iroh is hands down the best 5 minutes of cinema ever released to the public. It shows Iroh just going about his day doing Iroh things until that gut wrenching moment. The way that Iroh sings "Leaves from the vine" to that little boy implies that he sang it to his own son. On its own the tale of Iroh may be second best, but when you take it into context with the whole rest of the series it is undeniably the best. Iroh was once a warmongering general that knocked down the walls of Ba' Sing' Se' but after the death of his son he went home to mourn. This mourning continued for the rest of his life and now, he is mourning it once again, not just normally but at the place of his son's death. It is heartbreaking and undeniably the pinnacle of cinema .
I love that Avatar is coming back in popularity
Easiest way to get lots of water in places where there's a water shortage:
Play Leaves from the Vine and collect everyone's tears
But that’s salt water
No but the tears are so pure that there’s no salt
Wouldn’t too many tears make someone dehydrated?
Omfg can’t you guys take a joke
@@pewpew5467 And miss out on all the witty humor on the salt content of water? No way!
The joke's funny, but it's even funnier when you take an arbitrary thing in a uselessly literal way :D
Kids: *break window playing a game*
Iroh: "usually it is best to admit mistakes when they occur and to seek to restore honor!"
Guy whos window broke: "when im finished with you kids the window wont be the only thing thats broken!"
Iroh: "but not this time... Run!"
That was hilarious😆
Giving out the true advice
The thing is though is that the moments before the end are what makes the moment at the end of Iroh’s tale so impactful, it’s such a surprising moment . Also the UP Analogy can’t be made because the other parts of the story don’t serve the best part of up as the other parts of Iroh’s tale do
Unpopular opinion: I wished Jin and Zuko were a couple in the end instead of Zuko and Mai.
No, you're correct
It seems like it’s not so unpopular
*tries his hardest not to cry when Iroh sings leaves from the vine*
*BAWLS EYES OUT TILL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT INSTEAD*
Iroh’s story is perfect. Absolutely perfect.
Iroh is perfect
EpicGamerzFail he’s not perfect, which makes him perfect
Agreed.
His story is the perfect 4 minutes of television
@@epicgamerzfail4575 We all want to be like Iroh, but in reality, we are all like Zuko.
I really love the story of Katara and Toph. I could really relate with the issues and insecurities Toph showed about her looks. And how important it can be to tell someone that they are beautiful. It was a very humane moment. It actually shows a deeply-rooted problem in our own society.
6:56
I just realised something... Iroh's late voice actor was called Mako. The producers in LOK named one of their characters *MAKO*. Coincidence?
no. it was made as an in memorium
*Girl:* So, you juggle?
*Zuko:* ...yes, I juggle
*Me:* Juggle PARENTAL FIGURES OOH-

You really thought we weren’t gonna count the syllables in your sentence when talking about sokka didn’t you, fool.
True, but now I'm counting yours. Barely poetic. Live up to your own standards.
@@lizziedoesthings1450 Unfortunately- you have also failed this time. It's five-seven-five.
@@Pomagranite167 well done, haiku lord. I see you mastered the skill. Spread your knowledge, please
@@gavinlopez6258 You must learn yourself. As the Great Old One once said. That is rough buddy.
@@ThePageOfSpace Amazing job man. We love a haiku master. You have passed this time
I feel like Iroh's tale shows him helping people because he couldn't help his son. It's beautiful.
no one:
youtube captions: "I ROSE TALE"
1:57 mf really just called him “long wang”
Long Feng
Long *WANG*
Ironically long wang's wang wasn't long
@@zeropelli7026 LMAOOOOOOOO
Now that he has done this, he must now look into a show that has a confusing reputation.......
The Legend of Kora.
Season 1's love rectangle was annoying and the ending is a total cop out
Season 2 is absolute garbage trashfire in it's entirety
Season 3 is okay
Season 4 starts out promising but ends on a very woefully disappointing note.
@@megabuster3940 Add in some boring/practically non-existent character arcs, repeated moments of forgetting their own lore and the fact that Sokka is dead and you got about everything wrong with Korra.
Legend of Korra did a lot of things wrong, but it also did a lot of things right, and I feel like it doesn’t get enough credit as a whole. It was never going to equal TLA. The bar was set too high.
Meddadius id personally say its wrongs outweigh its rights by far. Amazing music, amazing animation... but shitty characters (exception: Tenzin and his family), shitty plots, shitty lore, constantly breaking its rules and lore set up in the previous series, etc. I could go on. I wanted to like Korra, but right now it stands at a solid “Meh...” for me.
I recommend the one hour rant from lily orchard it was gold
Also, The people Iroh helps are all representatives of different stages of his sons life. He helps a young child, a teenager, and then a young adult. He helps them because he wasn't there for his own son. It provides great insight into Irohs character arc, which was mostly complete by the time the series starts
Hopefully in the live action series we’ll see a tale of azula, Ty Lee, Mai and even Suki
The Zuko scene was the most *Freaking* realistic this ever
4:19 WHY DOES SOKKA MATCH UP WITH THE WORDS SO PERFECTLY AHH THAT HAD TO BE ON PURPOSE.
Edit- wait no shit of course it was on purpose, it was just subtle lol
whoah that's wacky
The entire Sokka segment was said in haiku.
YOOOOO!!
I really like Sokka's tale, not just because it's a fun filler. It really shows how there is a genius behind his silly facade. Everyone thinks that he is a stupid brute because he is a soldier and makes jokes all of the time, but behind all that he is actually very smart and creative, with the ability to do incredible things such as engineering a submarine based on a whale or, in this case, defeating a haiku master in a rap battle. However, it also show his need to keep himself level headed, as he tends to push his luck and spoil things. We know that his biggest problem is lacking humbleness, and the moments where we see him flourish the most are in fact the moments where he accepts his need for improvement and lets himself be humble.
Iroh's story always makes me start crying when he sets up his little memorial and starts singing. It's so heartbreaking and then the text comes on screen honoring the original voice actor for Iroh.
Edit: I really appreciate that you just had a moment of silence after talking about it before continuing.
One of the best attributes of Avatar: The Last Airbender is their filler episodes aren't filler episodes they progress the plot and character motivations expertly which is high praise honestly its so good if you haven't watched it shame on you go watch it.
I binge-watched the show a few weeks ago for the very first time, and the praises were well deserved. It's easily one of my favorite cartoons of all time.
Stop pressuring everyone to watch it. You're just going to drive people out of it
@@Laiser That's what people who have already made up their minds say. WATCH IT
except the great divide but we don't talk about the great divide
@@LieseFury or do we
Can we all just collectively agree that we all cried when Iroh was siging leaves from the vine and when Zuko apologized to Iroh?
It's funny to think that from Jin's perspective, that teashop boy she went on a date with once is now the Firelord.
I’m actually surprised that people only talk about the end of Iroh’s story, when they should be talking about the whole story. For every living thing he help in that story, he helped them as if he WAS their parent and I don’t think this is a coincidence because he does the exact thing with Zuko, and he even gave Toph, his enemy at the time, advice about what she should do. It’s as if he is so heart broken that he needs to help every little thing in need, that’s how he would cope with his grief, that’s how he motivates himself to get up in the morning, and that’s how he still has hope for the Fire Nation.
