Avatar reveals the origin of Zuko's scar in season 1, episode 12, "The Storm. When Zuko refused to fight his father, Ozai burned half of his face and banished him from the Fire Nation. Ozai always treated Zuko cruelly , and this fight marks the beginning of Zuko's long journey to redemption. Even though the scar is such a strong reminder of Zuko's past trauma, he never asks Katara about her offer to heal it, and she never makes the offer a second time.
There are a number of reasons Katara may not have healed Zuko's scar, including the fact that she may not have been able to and the very real possibility that Zuko wanted to keep his scar. Despite being enemies for so long, Zuko and Katara grow closer in season 2, episode 20, "The Crossroads of Destiny. Beginning to see Zuko's change of heart, Katara offers to heal his scar with waterbending. The water's spiritual energy grants it powerful healing properties.
Katara had saved the spirit water for something important, and when she senses Zuko's regret in the Catacombs, she thinks that the spirit water can heal him. However, Aang and Iroh rescue them before she can begin the healing process. Of course, everything changes when Zuko sides with Azula, taking several steps backward on his journey to redemption. A young Zuko speaks out during Fire Lord Ozai 's war council against the plan to sacrifice a division of young recruits.
On Zuko's ship, in the belly of the vessel, Jee sits around a small fire with several members of the crew, ranting to them about Zuko. When he rhetorically asks who Zuko thinks he is, Iroh, standing just outside the circle, announces his presence to them by asking if they want to know. Calm rather than upset, Iroh enters the circle and begins explaining why Zuko is how he is. When he is denied entry, however, he explains to Iroh that he simply desires to learn as much as he can so he could be a great ruler of the Fire Nation one day.
Iroh yields to the prince's arguments, though warns him not to speak as the old generals are sensitive. When one of the generals suggests using an entire division of inexperienced new recruits as a distraction, allowing the rest of the army to attack from the rear, an outraged Zuko speaks up in harsh opposition against the plan, asserting that sacrificing a group of loyal soldiers is an act of betrayal.
Interrupting his story, Iroh comments to the crew that Zuko had been right, though since it was not his place to speak out, there were "dire consequences" to be faced. In an attempt to raise him like a normal child, Gyatso opts to play games with Aang as opposed to constantly training him vigorously. Inside the cave, Katara asks why Aang was not excited that he was the Avatar. Aang admits that he did not know how to feel about it, though only knew that after he found out about it, everything started changing.
To make his point, Aang recalls how he returned to the courtyard to find his friends all whizzing around on air scooters. Being told that the other children made up a game to play with the air scooters, Aang readies his own scooter, though as he does so, the other monks dismount and tell him that him being the Avatar would give an unfair advantage in any team he would be on.
Although he argues that nothing has changed, he is not permitted to play with them. Saddened, Aang retreats to inside the temple where he plays a game of Pai Sho with Monk Gyatso, although his heart is not in it.
Gyatso uses his airbending to pull Aang's robe over his head, allowing him to switch two tiles on the board.
His cheating is quickly discovered, however, much to their joined amusement. At that moment, Tashi enters to room, scolding Gyatso for playing games with Aang as the Avatar should be training instead. As Aang stands to follow Tashi to be tested on some high-level airbending techniques, Gyatso stops him, noting that as long as he is Aang's guardian, he would be deciding when Aang would train and play.
Tashi scoffs but leaves Aang to continue his game of Pai Sho with Gyatso. Continuing with his story, Iroh recalls how the Fire Lord became angry with Zuko for his outburst and declared the prince's challenge of the general to be an act of "complete disrespect", something that needed to be solved via an Agni Kai. Zuko accepted the challenge, though as he prepared to fight in front of a large, gathered crowd, he discovered that his opponent was to be his father and not the old general.
Gyatso fails to prevent Tashi from convincing Monk Pasang that Aang needs to be sent to the Eastern Air Temple to continue his training. A saddened Aang confides in Katara that just when he started to feel better, something worse happened. The flashback resumes in the meeting room at the temple, where Tashi, annoyed over having been told off by Gyatso, took the matter to Monk Pasang.
Although Gyatso argues that Aang needs to grow up as a normal child, Pasang decides that Aang would be sent to the Eastern Air Temple to complete his training there, away from Gyatso. Unbeknownst to them, Aang is perched on the roof of the room and overheard everything. Back in the cave, Katara sympathizes with Aang, though he turns away from her, raging about the monks' decision and involuntarily entering the Avatar State, sending powerful currents of air through the cave.
He instantly calms down, however, and apologizes for his outburst. When Katara notes that he has the right to be angry after the monks sent him away like they did, he sadly continues his story, noting that events occurred differently. He admits to having been afraid and confused, so he decided to run away.
By the time that Gyatso came to his room, he had already fled the temple and was bracing a terrible storm on Appa. He notes that he never saw Gyatso again, as he had been thrown into the waters, where he had frozen himself in the iceberg from which Katara rescued him a hundred years later. As the flashback ends, Aang continues that the Fire Nation attacked the temple afterward, displaying guilt over not having been there to protect his people when they needed him the most.
He concludes that the fisherman was right for saying that he turned his back on the world. Katara tries to console him, stating that he is being too hard on himself and that even though he had run away, it was meant to be; if he had stayed, there was a good possibility he had been killed with the other airbenders.
She ends by emphasizing that the world needs him now and that he gives people hope. Zuko begs his father for mercy. Iroh reveals to the crew that when Zuko saw that he had to duel his father, he begged for mercy, refusing to fight him. Zuko tries to convince Ozai that he only "had the Fire Nation's best interests at heart" and apologizes for having spoken out of term. Nonetheless, Ozai demands that he fights for his honor. Chit Sang is a criminally underused character, like we know nothing about him!
Is he a murderer? Is he just a guy who did some petty crime but kept breaking out of the lower security prisons? Could be! Is he actually a rebel and in prison for treason? Was he part of the 41st division maybe their leader or something and got in prison for trying to save those kids, just like Zuko was? Is he a cannibal? Did he do some anti ozai grafitti? Things that Distress Me: Has Zuko ever talked at all about some of the most painful moments in his life?
Because all the other characters tell at least one other person, but Zuko never does. And honestly, that kind of hurts. Remember this tag? Begone with your shippy content, bring me nothing but the finest Aftermath.
Literally what else would I care about. Actually this is a lie. These very niche desires go mostly unfulfilled. Anyone ever think about how the first conversation Zuko has after betraying his uncle and siding with Azula, stepping backwards from his redemption, is with Mai.
And then his last conversation before reconciling with his uncle and, through this, completing his redemption, is with Katara. Both of these characters come over to him when he is by himself and ask after his wellbeing:.
And Zuko responds to this probing in both situations by giving some variation of "not in good headspace right now". Zuko: It's been so long. Over three years since I was home. I wonder what's changed. Zuko: My uncle hates me I know it. For example, Zuko used his ship's damages as a smokescreen to conceal his movements from Zhao.
When he and Aang needed to enter a specific room in the Sun Warrior ruins, Zuko was able to outsmart the celestial calendar by using his dual dao swords to reflect the sun's rays on the sunstone at the correct angle, activating the mechanism to open the doors. His time being a "bad guy", as he put it, also gave him insight into certain situations.
Upon hearing the demands, Zuko correctly deduced that the man did not intend to keep either party alive and was able to warn his friends against complying. As a leader, Zuko has also displayed charisma and good public speaking. His speech to redeem the name of the Fire Nation at his coronation was warmly embraced, not only by his own people but by people of the other nations as well.
