The first scene started, and by the looks of it, the location looked like a Fire Nation Fortress. Within the fortress, the audience watched the skills of one of the five archers inside the fortress.
"Holy crap, those are sharp sharpshooting. His skills are at the level of a master assassin." Vlad King said impressed at the skill of the archer.
"Indeed, they're probably in the skill level of our fellow teacher, Snipe." Midnight replied.
"Because he is a skilled archer, and I assume the rest of his archy team are non-benders," Aizawa said. "From watching this reality, most of all the skilled warriors like the Kyoshi Warriors are non-benders. I do not doubt that this group is not Firebenders."
All For One overheard the conversation of the teachers, As a teacher himself, he can understand and see Eraserhead's point of view. It would make sense for Benders to only master their bending arts, instead, learn of other martial arts. It's not like the Avatar who has to master the four elements, including each discipline and form. That would require years to truly master the arts.
All For One has been interested in seeing the non-benders and their combat skills. It was amazing to him to see the closest thing to the equivalent of the quirkless, that can fight toe-to-toe against powerful benders.
That is a feat, that never has been done since the dawn of quirks became the norm.
They have a feeling that this reality has so much to offer, to the powerless.
The students were mixed opinions about the skills of the archer. Because their generation made them believe that quirks are everything and the absolute top of awesomeness. The idea of archy is quite boring to them unless it was quirk related.
True, having a target board as a target seems boring.
Probably a moving, and alive target would get their attention.
1:57 - 2:42
Then it reveals who was in this fortress, that being Commander Zhao, and a higher rank gentleman named Colonel Shinu.
The audience heard their discussion.
"So, Commander Zhao wants the Archers, the Yuyan for his search for the Avatar." Hitoshi summarizes the situation. "However, the Colonel didn't want Yuyan to be part of Zhao's project."
Denki went to ask. "I don't get it, why can't Zhao have the Yuyan?"
Hitoshi blushed, getting some attention from his crush. "W-Well, Denki, um, It's because the Colonel has a higher rank than Zhao."
Denki starts to understand his crush's explanation. "So, because the Colonel is a higher rank than the Commander himself, Zhao doesn't get the Yuyan archers."
"Yup, you pretty much got it Denki." Hitoshi blushed that his crush understood him.
Then many students start to understand.
"Oh, I understand now." Uraraka exhales for relief. "Those Yuyan archers are quite impressive in their archery skills. Though would it be enough to defeat team Avatar and their bending?"
"Do not underestimate the Yuyan Archers, Uraraka. You of all people should know that the non-benders shouldn't be underestimated." Tenya said. "We have seen a lot of very skilled non-benders like the Freedom Fighters and the Kyoshi Warriors."
Midoriya added his thoughts. "I have to agree with Ida and the teachers, even though Zhao didn't get permission for the Yuyan to be part of his Avatar hunt. They could be deadly as any quirk individual, like Spine sensei."
Though many of the students disagree with the Teachers and Midoriya. Seeing them fire their arrows toward a none moving target, it's one would call impressive.
Bakugo and Tomura were surprised on the same page, they don't see them as impressive.
2:42 - 3:07
Even though their conversation was over. A messenger hawk flew by, and deliver a message to the colonel, and the Heroes didn't like the news.
"No way, Commander Zhao got promoted to Admiral," Hitoshi said in shock. "Admiral is one of the highest rankings out there in the Military rankings. Higher than Colone Shinu."
"Wait, that means–"
"Zhao now has full access to the Yuyan Archers to be part of his search for the capture of the Avatar." Tomura smiled. True, he isn't impressed by the archers, but if Co– he means, Admiral Zhao finds them important at the level of elite, he should be open-minded towards this archery team.
3:07 - 3:12 (Blue Spirit.)
After Zhao's promotion in becoming admiral. They saw a figure with blue skin on the roof.
"Who, or what is that?" Kan asks.
"I don't know, I don't even think if it's human?" Aizawa answered.
"Maybe it's a spirit?" Midnight added.
Seeing the mysterious figure, the whole audience wondered who, or what was that being on the roof.
Only time would tell.
3:12 - 3:37
The next scene shifted with Team Avatar, they saw them camping in an abandoned temple.
They also learned that Sokka isn't feeling well.
"Geez, Soka probably got that sickness from the storm. Seeing that Sokka is sick, I assume the fisherman has it too." Melissa is concerned for Sokka's well-being.
Then they learn how sick Sokka is, mentioning that Appa. The sky bison has a comedian.
"Woah, I can't believe the smartest member of Team Avatar, acting so… Looney." Midnight said. "Well, more looney than normal."
"This sucks, Nemuri, Sekijiro. I hate to say it, but we have no clue what natural herbs and medicine nature has to offer to help ease or cure Sokka's fever?" Aizawa said. "We're not Chiyo or the Pussycats, they would know the possible natural medicine that Katara and Aang can use to help Sokka."
From the lack of knowledge about medicinal herbs, and all-natural medicine that only nature can offer. Troubles the thoughts of the heroes and the students. The medicine that they know is from pharmacies. However, in times like this, herbs and all-natural medicine from the great outdoors is the only thing available, and they have zero knowledge of how to help Sokka.
They just hope the situation doesn't get worst.
3:37 - 4:00
The Heroes smiled to hear that there is good news, but the students have no clue what Aang just said.
"Excuse me, but what's an herbalist?" Toru asks not knowing that profession.
Kinoko of 1B went to answer her. "Shroom! Herbalists treat a variety of physical conditions, illnesses, and allergies. Shroom!" She continues. "The holistic use of plants in conjunction with medical knowledge. Herbalists treat patients using plant-based remedies and other treatments. Shroom." Then Kinoko turns her attention to the only boy who knows a good example of plant-based remedies. She turns her attention to Hiryu Rin.
That made Shihai Kuroiro extremely jealous.
"Rin, ain't China know frog medicine cooking. The art of Medicinal cooking is a good example of herbalism. "Kinoko mentioned. "Ain't your family expert in Medicinal cooking?"
Hiryu blush that a cute girl like Kinoko paid attention to him, though because he is good friends with Kuroiro and he knows he is crushing on her. He'll let it slide and answer her question. "True, Chinese Medicinal Cooking is a good example of Herbalist remedies." Then he recall the dinner that his mother made the other night. "When I came home for Sunday Dinner with my family, one of my brothers got sick, so mom made her famous medicinal curry."
Hiryu continues, as the screen showed his mother's curry. "Oh, thanks Poker. That is my mom's curry it's a Mutton Meat Shimotsu-to Curry."
The students admire the curry on the screen.
"Woah, that looks so good."
"That's so yummy."
"I want a bowl next time."
Hiryu blush at the comment from the girls. 'Geez, I should cook often, I don't know that I can get this much attention from all these girls.' Hiryu thoughts.
"Anyways this is a Mutton Meat Shimotsu-to Curry. The ingredients are quite simple, but what's important is the medicinal spices, Turmeric, Star anise, Fennel Seeds, and Coriander." Hiryu explained the recipe.
"Woah, the curry sounds so good– Rin Sama, please make me a bowl next time!" the girls of 1B and some from 1A said in unison. Making Hiryu blush from all the attention. His Friends, Yosetsu, Sen, and Kosie are surprised by the amount of female attention that their friend is getting.
Itsuka sighs she too wants a bowl of curry from Rin, but her thoughts about her love life caught her attention most recently. Towards someone that she has been training with during the break.
She blushes thinking of that boy as she plays circles with her index fingers.
Itsuka Kendo is blushing at a boy from 1B.
.
.
.
"Anyways." Melissa steps in, as the photo of the curry was removed from the screen. "I agree with Katara. Sokka is not in the condition to travel let alone visit a Herbalist."
"Melissa is right, I think it is best if Aang went to see the Herbalist, while Katara takes care of her brother." Tsuyu said. Being an older sibling Tsuyu would stay home with her sick siblings, to make sure they get their illness goes down.
The two girls sigh it took them this long to reply, while the others go Gaga over a bowl of curry.
4:00 - 4:15
The situation went bad, as Katara is sick too.
'I hope, the herbalist can cure the Watertribe siblings with Rin's curry.' The girls thought in unison.
4:15 - 4:23
Some of the students chuckle at Sokka believing that he was an Earthbender.
Melissa's face turned vermillion, recalling times when she has a fever. Just last year with the flu, She thought she was All Might and tries to pick a fight with Sam, her father's laboratory assistant.
4:23 - 4:39
Just like that Aang went on a journey to meet the Herbalist trying to find medicine for Katara and Sokka.
"Good luck Aang," Kosie said cheering for his idol.
4:39 - 4:46
"I wonder what Appa's joke was?" Shoto wondered why Sokka was laughing. His classmates and siblings around him just sweatdrop at Shoto.
Natsu sighs at his little brother. 'Well, it's not like Appa is Jo Koy or Gabriel Iglesias.' He thought.
4:46 - 5:10
As Aang went on his journey to meet with the herbalist. The scene shifted to Prince Zuko's warship. That they were discussing the possible whereabouts of the Avatar. Since they have no clue where the Avatar is, since the Storm.
Himiko was glad that Zuko chose the safety of his crew over the task of capturing the Avatar. A trait that Tomura doesn't have.
She truly misjudged Zuko believing he was just another Tomura, in truth, he is nothing like her former leader. She doesn't like doing orders from others, but orders from Zuko she wouldn't mind doing so.
Until a new ship arrives at the scene.
Dabi growls at this scene. Once upon a time ago, we would side with Zhao, but after watching the previous episode, he switch sides and want Zuko to capture the Avatar.
After watching the previous episode, Dabi felt puzzled by his feelings about Toya. Dying his hair black, and gaining more scars and muscles than before, doesn't truly erase that Dabi was Toya, Once Upon a Time, not long ago.
The previous episode also revealed his true feelings about his siblings, that he doesn't hate them. His hate for Enji made him believe he hates his siblings.
Dabi and Enji can go to hell, but he doesn't want his siblings to be dragged down with them.
5:10 - 5:27
Then it turns out it wasn't Zhao, but the Fire Nation troop, posting orders to the whole Fire Nation army. That Admiral Zhao has been promoted from Commander to Admiral, and that all knowledge about the whereabouts of the Avatar must be reported to him. That the hunt for the Avatar became of Prime importance.
"Now Team Avatar has to be careful, unlike before when Zhao was Commander, he only had a search party, with a small number of soldiers on his side." Aizawa pinches the bridge of his nose, hating what he'll say next. "Now, Fire Lord Ozai took attention towards the Avatar, Admiral Zhao is pulling the string towards the whole army, while the Fire Lord is giving him full support."
The students gulped at the situation of Team Avatar.
"This is bad, the situation became worst. Now the whole army is after the Avatar, and all credit goes to Zhao." Hitoshi said, understanding the situation of Team Avatar.
Tomura smiled liking the amount of power Zhao has in his hands, He wish he has this power too.
5:27 - 5:40
"GET OFF, ZUKO'S SHIP! NOW!" Dabi yelled at the troops his fist in flames having enough of hearing about Zhao. "Zhao and Ozai are nothing more but bastards, they deserve one another, and just Fuck the back off! Those two don't have Zuko's time or attention!"
The Ex-Leagues have seen Dabi angry before but not at this level, his dislike towards Zhao and Ozai sounded more personal, unlike others who dislike Zhao and Ozai.
Oddly enough Fuyumi, Natsu, and Shoto felt the same way as Dabi, they were just surprised that a villain like Dabi would hate Zhao and Ozai on a personal level too.
Like who is Dabi, truly? the siblings start to wonder.
5:40 - 5:50
Throughout the whole time that the troops were in Zuko's ship. Iroh said nothing but compliments Admiral Zhao's promotion. During the whole time, the audience wants Iroh to talk about unkind things to Zhao, but he didn't.
Himiko just sighs at Iroh. "I know we all like Iroh, my fellow Ex-League members, but I would imagine Iroh, disliking Zhao, as much as everyone here in the theater room," Himiko said.
Mr. Compress just scratch his head. "Well, I agree with you Toga, but I think Iroh is just being respectful and patient with Zhao." He continues. "I don't think Iroh is not that type of person, if he was I would start to imagine him like his younger brother Ozai. If Iroh was like his brother I think he would be more vicious and awful than the Fire Lord himself."
Spinner gave his friend a nod as he realize something. "Iroh is the older brother right?" the Ex-League nodded to him. "Well, should be the one next in line for the throne, rather than Ozai. The title of Fire Lord is Iroh's Birthright, not Ozai. I just wonder who Ozai got the throne over Iroh?"
Spinner gave a good question.
Who did Ozai get the crown instead of Iroh?
Something doesn't add up for the cast.
5:50 - 6:18
The scene shifted toward two Fire Nation troop members, as they read about The Avatar, they were believing that his abilities were nothing more but fiction. Until they witness Aang running at super speed, and there was a trail of dust behind him.
"Umm… It would make sense that there would be people who not knowing the Avatar's true abilities." Juzo said, "A lot of people think his abilities are nothing more than a false tale."
Kosei sighs admitting that Juzo has a point. "True, and the Airbenders are gone since Sozin's comet," he said. "However, this isn't the case, the troops just alerted the other troops close by with that horn."
"It just means that the Avatar has to be careful from now on." Vlad King interrupted his students. "Aang doesn't know that the search for the Avatar is no longer limited only to Zuko and Zhao. The whole army is now after him."
Vlad King is right, and the rest of the Heroes and Students are worried for Aang.
As much as the scene is comedic, it doesn't erase that Aang is in danger.
Tomura waits until the episode gets exciting.
6:16 - 6:42
The next scene shifted back to the Water Tribe siblings back in their campsite. It showed Katara giving Momo instructions for him to get some water for the siblings to drink during their sick days. However, as simple as that sounds, Momo heard something else from Katara.
"Wait, is that what animals hear when we talk to them?" Mina asks surprised at Momo's point of view.
Giving a good question, class 1A went to the only one who could know the answer to their question. That being Koji Koda.
As he sat on his seat, Koji felt eyes all around him, from his home classroom, and Class 1B. Koji shakes in fear from all the attention, he wonders if this is how Midoriya felt being stared at when Midnight gave him the ten million point headband back in the sports festival.
Moving his head around, he keeps seeing the same image. Those are the eyes of his fellow students giving him an icy stare, to him those aren't the eyes of humans, those are the eyes of Demons.
He cannot handle all the attention given to him, he starts to hear the impossible as he can somehow read their minds.
'Tell us the answer Koji!'
'He thinks, he is so smart, with his quirk. He'll never be a hero!'
'You're a disappointment to your mom!'
'We'll feast on your rabbit!'
'No one likes you!'
Koji isn't sure if he suddenly read their thoughts, or if his anxiety is making it all up.
It's too much!
Koji suddenly passes out from his anxiety attack. His classmates wondered what had happened to him, and hope that he was okay.
"Geez, I hope he is okay?"
"I think, all the attention was overwhelming for him?"
Not getting a possible answer, the students just want to confirm that's how they sound from Momo's point of view.
6.42 - 7:18
The scene shifts back to Aang finally reaching the Herbalist's shop.
They realize the Herbalist was an elderly lady and her pet… cat.
"Wait, that's her pet?! It looks so, Normal?!" Hitoshi said jaws dropping seeing an ordinary cat in this world.
"That's no way that's a normal cat, after all the animals that we have seen!" Sen said, believing he would lose a bet about the existence of a Platipus-Bear.
"Maybe it's half cat, half something else… Maybe instead it says Meow Meow, maybe this animal says Woof Woof!" Denki said, hoping this isn't a normal cat.
Aizawa has his eyes widen too, he is unsure what Miyuki is, after seeing the Animals of this world.
'What the fucking hell are you Miyuki! Say Woof woof!'Aizawa thought wondering what kind of animal Miyuki was.
Out of nowhere, Vlad King suddenly sneezes, after another Aizawa from the MHA reacts to Young Justice, mentioning his name in the previous chapter.
7:18 - 7:34
They learned more about the Herbalist. They learned that her medicine helped a lot of Earth Kingdom soldiers during this war.
However, no one cared, they were still freaking out about Miyuki.
"What the hell are you Miyuki!" The cast said in unison.
7:34 - 7:51
While the Herbalist search for the final ingredient, The cast sweat drop wondering how long will they'll wait for the Herbalist to come back.
Twice had enough. "Ah! I can't take this anymore! This is the most boring scene we ever saw since coming here to this casino! This is the fucking side plot, Katara and Sokka are sick, and now Aang has to wait to gather the medicine!" Twice roared out his anger, as he took attention to his former leader, more importantly, he stared at Tomura's pecs. That gave him an idea to end this boring scene. Without a doubt, Twice jumped at Tomura, as he plays around with Tomura's pecs. Making the former leader madly blush. Tomura tries to kill Twice with his quirk, but he was held back by Spinner and Mr. Compress.
"No you don't former leader, Poker has to hear what we have to say!" Mr. Compress said as he watch Twice playing with Tomura's pecs.
"Yeah, We're sick of watching this boring scene, these pecs are the hostages, and we want to negotiate with Poker." Spinner said as Twice continues to play with Tomura's pecs until Poker had enough and went to listen to the demands of the Ex-Leagues. Poker might be a horny son of a bitch with a pecs fetish, but he is willing to listen to them.
"Poker, hear my words. If you want me to stop groping your boyfriend's pecs! I beg of you, shift to the next scene!"
"SHIFT TO THE NEXT SCENE, POKER!" Yelled in unison by the Ex-league. As the scene shifted to the next scene, Twice let go of Tomura's pecs, right before Poker went to grope Tomora's pecs.
7:51 - 7:56
The next scene shifted back to Zuko, and it showed the Banish Prince was letting out his frustration through training.
See Zuko Firebending in anger, Dabi can relate, after becoming a failure in Enji's eyes. After being trained and made he believe that Toya would be the one to surpass All Might, and become the number Pro Hero. To make Enji proud, was all wasted when Enji push him aside and replace him with his youngest brother Shoto.
He went into a burst of outrage, letting his fire out, and almost harming baby Shoto.
Now he realizes, he has to get Shoto out of Enji's grip. If Shoto wants to be the number one Pro Hero, fine so be it, but he wants Shoto to do it because he wants to, not Because Enji forces him to.
7:56 - 8:21
Then Iroh went to check on Zuko, to tell his nephew not to give up on hope, that Zuko can still capture the Avatar. However, Zuko disagrees and he felt hopeless.
After seeing the previous episode and learning more about Zuko as a person. Many of the students, such as Midoriya couldn't help but feel sorry for Zuko.
The Todoroki siblings and all four of them felt sorry for Zuko. Dabi especially, or should I say, Toya.
Toya Todoroki knew what Zuko felt, because once upon a time, he too place all his hope toward a single goal. For Zuko, it was capturing the Avatar, for Toya it was the hope of making Enji proud of him, becoming the Number One hero, and surpassing All Might.
However, all of Toya's hopes were taken away from him, due to his father's vision of strength and being strong. There was nothing that Toya could have done to prevent him from becoming Dabi.
Dabi was the result of Toya's hopelessness, Enji promised that Toya would have a bright future, but was taken away by the same man who gave him false hope. Now what was left was the Villain that Toya has become.
Toya became Dabi.
Now, it felt like history was repeating itself, Zuko's only chance to have his life back, his father's love, and his line to the throne, can all be taken away by Admiral Zhao.
However, the difference is, Zuko's case isn't too late, Unlike Toya's fate was inevitable, Zuko's fate isn't inevitable, there is still hope for Zuko.
There is no doubt that Zuko would make a plan, and deep down in Da– Toya's mortal soul, we would help Zuko to capture the Avatar and restore his Honor.
Toya believes his honor cannot be restored, but he doesn't want his honor. He what's a chance, or at least an hour to spend time with his siblings while they're in the Casino.
Dabi made up his mind.
He's going to make a deal with Poker.
8:21 - 8:29
The scene shifted back to the Herbalist.
"Finally!" yelled in unison the students and the Ex-League, that the herbalist finally found the last ingredient.
"Finally, I don't have to group Tomura's pecs again." Twice said in relief.
8:29 - 8:42
Jaws drop when the students and the Ex-League learned that the whole time that the Herbalist was making Miyuki's dinner, not Sokka and Katara's cure.
Twice and Bakugo let out their anger by shouting.
8:42 - 9:07
"They have to suck on Frozen Frogs!" The Students yelled in unison, after learning that the best cure for Sokka and Katara was to suck on Frozen Frogs.
Tsuyu was stunned to hear that Sokka and Katara have to suck on Frogs. Frogs such as herself.
Though, the idea of sucking frogs went to more dirty thoughts, especially a certain boy who has to lick her for them to be cured of their illness. She would imagine herself and Fumikage in more sexy thoughts, especially when their sick and need to lick each other to be cured.
Well, she can always pretend to be sick, to lick her boyfriend.
Tsuyu couldn't help but blush towards the dirty thought running through her head, Well, Tokoyami too, couldn't help but blush towards the thought of licking Tsu, when he is sick, or the thought that Tsuyu needs to lick him when she is sick.
9:07 - 9:12
"Yup, Aang, Bitch is insane!" Togaru said as Itsuka hit him on his head, by calling the insane woman, an awful word.
9:12 - 9:33
Once the boring scene ended, Aang went out to search for Frozen frogs for his friends to suck. (The sentence itself sounds like a Tokoyami X Tsuyu smut fanfic.) Until the audience saw a herd of arrows coming toward Aang, thankfully he was able to blow them away with his Airbending.
However, the audience knew where those arrows came from.
"The Yuyan archers, how did they find Aang out of the blue?" Toga mention. The question gave a good question to the audience.
Like, how the hell did they find Aang?
(In the comics it was explained that the Yuyan archers are the best to find their target, like how Fire Lord Ozai sent one to kill Ursa's former lover. They were the best out of the best, unless their search was interfered with by a spirit like The Mother of Faces.)
9:33 - 9:43
The students gulped at the Yuyan Archers ready for their aim.
They thought the Yuyan Archers were not impressive, non-benders. They truly underestimated them, They were more skilled and dangerous assassins than, the Pro Hero, Snipe.
"Aang, you should run." Kosei gulped afraid at the archers.
9:43 - 9:59
The chase started and it was intense to watch.
The students couldn't believe how deadly the Yuyan Archers are, Aang the Avatar, cannot defend himself, or have a chance of offense. The only thing he could do was run and evade, which isn't easy, especially since he was facing the whole troop of archers.
"Shit! Shoji the Yuyan archers reminds me of the time when we had to face Snipe sensei during the final exams." Hakegure said. Terrified for Aang
The invisible girl has a point, Mezo Shoji once faces Snipe during their final exam. Seeing Aang's situation, unable to defend or attack back, He and Aang's option is to run or hide, not fight.
The question is, would Aang would be able to hide at all?
9:59 - 10:06
"Aang!" Kosie cried for his idol watching as Aang went crashing down a bunch of trees. Ibara went to prayer hoping that the Avatar would escape the Yuyan Archers.
10:06 - 10:14
"Damn it, those archers are no joke!" Vlad King swore to watch the Yuyan archery skills.
"No kidding. They're more skilled shooters than Snipe ever was." Aizawa continues for Vlad. "Jumping off a cliff without a harness, and they were able to aim, and shoot airborne. That requires a lot of skills, and they're not even Airbenders." Admittedly to Aizawa, the Yuyan Archers is a troop that Aizawa and the rest shouldn't underestimate. It was from of them to think that their not impressive, Shooting a none moving target was okay, but shooting a live moving target is scary.
Aizawa isn't sure, he could escape the Yuyan Archers if ever he was their target. He was sure he would die from their arrows alone.
10:14 - 10:30
The chase and suspense continue as Aang finally reach the pond, to find a frozen frog.
Tsuyu gulped seeing a frozen frog, seeing it could be a possible scenario in which she lost a fight with Todoroki.
10:30 - 10:42
Frozen frogs aside, the chase continues as Aang gathers more frogs to scoop.
"Aang!" Kosei yelled in terror as the Yuyan was able to pin Aang's arm with their arrows, causing the young Avatar to be stuck.
"Shit, what can he do?" Sen asks worriedly for the Avatar as much as the students.
10:42 - 10:55
Kota cheered that the Avatar use Waterbending to create an ice shield, sadly he and the rest of the students frowned to see that the Ice Sheild was pointless, because it was easily broken down by the Yuyan's arrows.
An arrow of fear pierce the hearts of the students, to see that the Avatar was finally captured. Small tears have dropped to both Midoriya and Tsuburaba's eyes after seeing the net that captured the Avatar.
"No, Aang!" cried in unison by both Midriya and Tsuburaba.
10:55 - 11:06
The Heroes' and students' nightmares came true when the scene shifted after the Yuyan had successfully captured Aang.
Aang has his arms chained, within a Fire Nation fortress prison. Fire Nation guards and Firebenders heavily guarded the area.
"Holy crap, how could Aang escape from this?" one of the students asks.
That was a good question, How would the Avatar escape from this?
His arms are chained so he couldn't bend. There is no Water or Earth around to use to free him, the whole room is made of metal, and there is no such thing as,Metalbending. He cannot move his arms to properly use Airbending.
Then again, he hasn't Earthbend or Firebend, nor mastered Waterbending. Aang is trapped. Sokka and Katara cannot save him. Even if they weren't sick, they cannot win against this fortress.
"Holy Shit, Admiral Zhao did it. He captured The Avatar…" Kosei's voice starts to break as tears flow down and his eyes believe all hope is gone. "He captured Aang. The Fire Nation has won." he continues to sob believing all hope is gone.
Tomura and All For One smiled at the victory of the Fire Nation. Admiral Zhao truly deserves that promotion from Fire Lord Ozai, this moment here is for the history books.
11:06 - 11:37
"Oh cool, the man of the hour, Admiral Zhao," Tomura said. As the Admiral went to gloat to the Avatar.
As Zhao gloats, Aang tries to fight back by challenging Zhao, but Zhao denies him that opportunity, as he said a sentence that got many individuals' blood boil. It was Kosie Tsuburaba who has his blood boil after Zhao said this to Aang.
Tell me, what does it feel to be the only Airbender left? Do you miss your people?
Kosei had enough as he stood up from his seat as he yells at Admiral Zhao. "You Bastard! You think you're such a big man to say that to Aang! If I found a way to enter your world, The Avatar isn't the one you be fighting! It would be me! The Solid-Air Hero, Aeris! You hear me, you son of a bitch!"
Kosie isn't the only one who was boiling in anger at Zhao. Many of the students are angry at Zhao. Such as his friends, Sen, Yosetsu, and Rin, the other students from 1B, 1A, and the big three are angry.
They want to wipe that gloating face off Zhao.
11:37 - 11:54
Zhao mentions that Aang isn't going to die just like the Airbenders.
"Zhao has a point, killing Aang meant the Avatar cycle would continue after his death, and a new Avatar would be born as a Waterbender, restarting the hunt of the Avatar all over again," Aizawa said, figuring out the only way for Aang to escape.
It is the most logical thing, but it isn't ideal.
That Idea alone got the students shaken in fear. "Are you saying, the only way for Aang to escape, is through death?" Ochaco said scared of the idea alone. "No, that can't be right, there must be another way to escape?!"
"Tell me, how can Aang escape the prison alive?"
They all turned, to Kosei with tears on his face. "I don't like the idea either, None of us want Aang to die. Katara and Sokka not are not coming, they're sick, and they have no clue about this fortress." He starts to cry more. "Aang has his arms chained and bound, he cannot move are doing any bending, even he cries for help, no one could hear him, except for the guards. I hate to say it, but, Zhao has won, The Fire Nation is going to win even without the help of Sozin's comet, the game is over, and–"
Kosei stopped as Itsuka slapped him, tears in her eyes too. "Don't fucking say that, Don't say the game is over."
"But, Ken–
"Don't Kendo me, Tsuburaba. You of all people, should know that Aang isn't a quitter, he isn't going to quit, as long he is still breathing. Once he does escape the prison alive, He would give Sokka and Katara those frozen frogs to suck on. So you shouldn't give up also Kosei." Itsuka said as she wiped off her tears.
Kosei couldn't believe what he was hearing, and Itsuka is right. Aang isn't a quitter, and he shouldn't quit too. "Itsuka is right, let's cheer for Aang!" one by one the student went to cheer for Aang, as they followed the actions of Kosei. They won't stop believing in Aang until he escapes this fortress.
'Thank you, Itsuka.' thought Kosei, as his cheeks blushed.
11:54 - 11:59
Some of the students laugh at Aang's Airbending to push off Zhao. The students cheered showing that the Avatar isn't planning to give up the fight to escape.
Seeing this made Tomura very annoyed.
11:59 - 12:11
Tomura stood up from his seat to speak to the students. "Listen, you brats. Your hope is nothing compared to the reality that you see in front of you" he pointed at the screen. "Admiral Zhao is right, Forgot the idea of escaping, the Avatar isn't going to escape anytime soon, the Fire Nation has won the war."
Izuku stood up from his seat to confront Tomura. "True, Aang is chained up, but his spirit and our spirit are strong. You can taunt us, break us, turn us to dust. In the end, you can never turn hope into dust."
He continues. "Hope isn't some other word, hope is real and it's stronger than any quirk or bending, is what keeps us going. Hope is what makes us keep fighting, As long you fight us with fear, we will fight back with hope, and we have the will to make it happen.
Tomura just growls as he replies. "Whatever, Hope isn't real, it only brings disappointment."
11:59 - 12:28
The next scene shifted back to the water tribe sibling, showing the return of Momo. Instead of bringing them, Life-Saving-Water. Something dead and small, instead.
Some of the students shriek in fear after seeing the dead small. Toga just chuckles after seeing the dead small animal. "L.O.L. this reminds me of my childhood when I first got my quirk, I drank the blood of a small bird… Good times." Toga just sighs remembering that her childhood isn't always good times, having horrible parents to be part of those memories.
The Ex-League felt bad for Toga, knowing she had a hard life due to her quirk, and understands why she wants society to change for people with misfortunes quirks like herself. Midoriya too felt bad for her, he can't imagine growing up with a quirk such as the need to drink blood to live. He can't imagine what would happen if he end up having born with a quirk similar to Toga.
If there's another reality in which Izuku was born with Toga's quirk, I think he would have the same motivation to drink blood. The idea itself is hard to imagine, but the idea is possible.
12:28 - 12:38
As funny as that scene was, Katara left out a good question.
Aang, what is taking you so long?
The question itself was troublesome, Aang isn't the only one in a dier position. Katara and Sokka are close to death's door.
"Shit, this isn't good." Tenya swores. "Katara and Sokka could die if their fever doesn't go down."
Yaoyarozu agrees with Tenya. "Iida is right. Based on their period something like a fever or bronchitis could be a death sentence" she continues. "Unlike today in our world, our medical studies can treat fever. Their fever is dangerous as the Spanish flu of 1918 to 1920, or the Dengue Fever with no treatment or medicine. I just hope that Herbalist mad woman isn't mad enough to offer the Avatar to have his friends suck on frozen frogs."
Mina went into a fit of laughter. "I can't believe you would say that with a straight face Yaoyamomo! Bhahahahaha!" Mina stopped laughing as she asked her classmates a good question. "All seriousness who among us would suck on a frog?" until she glance at Fumikage Tokoyami with an intense blush on his face. "Well, expect Tokoyami over there, we all know that Tokoyami and Tsu would fuck each other."
The frog and the crow did a spit take in unison, as they hide their blush.
"Oh please, you two have the hots for each other, as much as TodoDeku over there." She pointed at said ship.
"Wait what!" The two questions the Shipper in pink. However before Mina could respond, Jiro slap a hand on Mina's mouth making the pink girl shut up.
"Can we continue to the program, Or did you guys forget that Katara and Sokka are dying over here." Kyoka pointed at the screen showing a very sad scene of Katara and Sokka.
"YES, LET'S HEAD TO THE BACK PROGRAM!" Fumikage panicked with a huge blush on his face.
12:38 - 12:58
The scene shifted outside the fortress, showing The Blue Spirit by the far bushes. Seeing the mysterious figure again, gave hope to the students who believe this figure is here to help the Avatar. Tomura on the other hand is angry at this mysterious figure.
"What is he, is he a spirit?" Mineta asks.
"I don't know, but looking at its back, it looks like a sword. I think it's a masked vigilante, maybe part of a resistance group that would fight back the Fire Nation?" Izuku gave out a possible theory.
Aizawa just nodded. "Midoriya you could have a point here, I think this person is human, maybe part of a resistance group."
Nemuri agrees as well. "I start to see that the boy might be right, and the Blue Spirit mask represents their group, like a symbol that they won't bow down to the throne of the Fire Lord."
"If it was a group, why is there only one Blue Spirit?" Vlad King asks.
"Let me explain Vlad. Having the whole resistance to have the Avatar to be rescued could lead to their downfall, and having a single member work as a spy and sneak around to free the Avatar, is Aang's best chance to escape." Aizawa sighs, imagining himself and what to do to help fight the Fire Nation, knowing that he isn't a bender, and the fact his quirk is useless. "If I was part of that world, I would love to be part of a resistance group, like the Blue Spirit. It seems like their group works in the shadows, a familiar field that I am used to working with, and it's the only way for me to tribute myself in stopping this war." Listening to the words he is been saying, Aizawa knows to be part of a resistance group similar to The Freedom Fighters is to be part of the vigilante community. However, titles aside the titles of Pro Hero and Vigilante don't matter in the long run, especially during war. True, the law still exists, but if it means helping in any other way despite the law itself. He would help out because that is what a Hero does.
Aizawa starts to wonder if this is the mindset of The Crawler, Pop Step, and Knuckleduster in why they became vigilantes in the first place.
It's not because of the money, because they want to do the right thing, despite the law?
This other world, filled with bending truly opens his eyes and sees the struggles of Team Avatar.
And the Banish Prince.
12:58 - 13:05
"Um interesting, that is a great way to enter a war fortress without being seen," Aizawa said, seeing the Blue Spirit going under the stagecoach wagon." However, there is a flaw." Aizawa waits to see if The Blue Spirit notices his little flaw.
Mr. Compress was impressed too, being a thief requires sneaking skills at the level of Eraserhead and his own. Watching The Blue Spirit is quite impressive, but the mission isn't over yet.
13:05 - 13:32
"Impressive, I would give him a good grade because he manage to enter the fortress without being spotted from the main entrance," Aizawa said, He and Mr. Compress were very impressed with the Blue Spirit.
'Whoever he is, he is quite cool.' Izuku went down to write a new page about the Blue Spirit.
13:32 - 14:28
As the Blue Spirit sneak around, The audience listened to Admiral Zhao's whole speech. There were mentions of the return of Sozin's comet and Earth Kindom's capital city, Ba Sing Se.
"Even though they have The Avatar chained. The war isn't over yet." Tenya said. "Then again, this isn't like the game of chess. It would make sense they would need to eliminate The Earth King, by invading Ba Sing Se."
Hearing Ba Sing Se and the Fire Nation plans to attack the capital city. It felt like a foreshadowing for the Audience, that they would see the Capital City of the Earth Kingdom.
14:28 - 14:49
The conclusion of The Blue Spirit was able to enter the fortress without being spotted. The scene shifted back to Aang. Showing even though he cannot use his bending to escape. The Avatar isn't losing hope that he would escape his prison. Showing that he continues to fight for his freedom.
A small chuckle escapes from the mouths of Midoriya and Tsuburaba, seeing Aang wishing for the frogs to stay frozen. They start to see that they shouldn't lose hope at all. This is Aang we're talking about. The 112-year-old Airbender never lose hope and kept his optimism high as the sky.
If Aang continues to hope, they should too, as they mentally cheered for the Avatar to not give up, because rescue is on his way.
'Please, save him, Mr. Blue Spirit.' The two boys mentally cheered.
14:49 - 14:57
"Well, that is something you don't see every day." Spinner laughed as he and the rest of the villains and students laugh to see the half-frozen frogs exiting under the feet of the guards.
14:57 - 15:01
The laughter went down after seeing a fallen helmet.
Tomura watches closely hoping the guard can stop the Blue Spirit. While Poker on the other hand waits for the right moment to grope his man's pecs.
15:05 - 15:23
The scene continues showing the Blue Spirit was able to lure three guards into his trap to knock them down. By using one of the guards as bait to destruct the two guards, then chaining both of them in the end.
Aizawa was very impressed with the Blue Spirit, it was pretty clear he planned that trap on the fly. It was different compared to Eraserhead's operation during his time on the field. "Good, three down, one to go." He said.
15:23 - 15:34
The audience watched as The Blue Spirit takes down the final guard, and they were very amazed by him.
"That was very clever of him, knowing the guard is a Firebender, he use Fire's greatest weakness, that being water," Izuku said after seeing a bucket of water that The Blue Spirit used as a weapon.
Tomura growled seeing four Firebenders losing against a masked vigilante, he growls more as Poker gropes his pecs.
"When is the groping of my pecs going to end?" He asks. The spirit didn't answer as he enjoys groping Tomura's pecs. \
15:34 - 15:43
As soon as all the guards were taken down, The Blue Spirit entered the prison chambers of Avatar Aang.
"Good, please help the Avatar get off the chain so you both can escape the fortress," Kosei said the through every student in the room.
Until they start to scream scared while The Blue Spirit starts to do his sword dance. "Aaahhhh–"
15:43 - 16:09
"Aaahhh– Wait what?" The students said in unison as they stopped screaming they noticed that The Blue Spirit wasn't here to assassinate the Avatar, but he was here to help him escape, just like how they originally thought of him.
"So you're not here to kill the Avatar?" Mina said still confuse about the Blue Spirit's action from earlier.
"I guess he is, but what's with the swords dance from earlier? I thought he was about to kill Aang?!" Kyoka asks.
"The sword dancing doesn't matter anymore. At least now they can now escape while they continue to be unseen and stay quiet." Fumikage said understands that the two of them have to be one with the darkness, for their chance to escape.
16:09 - 16:24
"Alright, I forgot Aang has to gather frozen frogs," Kinoko added.
"Well, maybe he can gather new frozen frogs from the pond he got them from, the crazy old lady did say they're useless being thawed," Setsuna said.
16:24 - 16:39
The scene shifted back to the Water Tribe siblings, as the audience got the answer to what happened to Momo when he went to gather water. Yaoyarozu felt ashamed to see what the lemur brought back to the camp. "I feel like a disgrace, instead of gathering life-saving water, the rodent gather junk!"
"Hey, don't call him a rodent, Miss Boobies!" Kota Izumi insulted the heiress, while Midoriya just sweat dropped towards the word that Kota used. "Don't insult him, Miss Boobies, only because he stole a bunch of stuff, it doesn't make him dumb. only because you have big boobies, doesn't have the right to be mean to animals."
Yaoyarozu covered her chest, Her hero costume isn't child friendly to end up having a nickname such as that one, and the insulting nickname came from a six-year-old.
For someone like Mr. Compress. He was very impressed with Momo. That the lemur was able to steal impossible items such as that tiara, which would require a crew to do a perfect heist. "Well, I'll be a Lemur's uncle," he said proudly to the thieving lemur.
16:39 - 16:48
Many laughed, Sokka thinking that his sister was royalty.
16:48 - 17:13
The next scene returns with Aang and the Blue Spirit, as they were shown on the screen that they were by the sewer system.
"Good, it may not be hygienic but it would do. It is the best hiding spot for the time being." Aizawa said, as two teens exited the sewers.
17:13 - 17:38
Dabi growls as the scene shifts back to Admiral Zhao, showing that he was with someone, probably his assistant making a reminder to Zhao that he needs to make an announcement to the Fire Nation and the Fire Lord about how he managed to capture the Avatar.
"Geez, Zhao is so self-centered, I hate him more than I use to hate Zuko." Toga said. "Zuko can be a brat, but Zhao is worst. He is such a diva."
Smiles return to the Ex-league's faces when Zhao realizes that The Avatar has escaped.
"Bhahahaha! Zhao here's an idea, send the Fire Lord the frog and tell him the Frog is the Avatar!" Dabi laughs at the idea, especially if Zhao went through with it.
17:38 - 17:53
As soon as the Admiral found out the Avatar is not at his prison, things went south for The Avatar and the Blue Spirit. As they were easily spotted by the guards.
"What now?!" Ochaco asks in a panic.
"What else Meg! It's time to rumble!" " Toga said as she yelled out her battle cry.
Toga was right, leaving the fortress quietly has failed, it is time to rumble, as the teenagers.
"Halt, the objective isn't to win, the objective is to escape. The two of them by themselves cannot win this battle." Aizawa was right, they cannot win this fight, and escaping is the true objective.
17:53 - 18:16
Aang's first attack against the guards blocking the path was brilliant.
"That was clever of Aang, using his Airbending to clear the path." as impressive as Tenya's point was, it wasn't strong enough because it may benefit Aang to freedom, but not for the Blue Spirit as he fight for his life with his swords.
This is the moment that Stain was looking for, he wants to know if the Avatar is a true hero or not. He accepted from the previous episode that Aang never wanted to be the Avatar. However, like it or not he is the Avatar, and his actions now can show his true self, and whichever path he could choose would define if the boy is a true hero or not.
From this scene, Aang could keep running, while the guards fight off the Blue Spirit, or would he turn back and save the Blue Spirit?
whichever he decides to show Aang's true colors outside his title of Avatar.
18:16 - 18:30
Stain smiled at the choice that Aang chose. Seeing his action shows Aang's true colors outside his title of the bridge between Humans and Spirits, this shows that Aang can be a Hero. As Aang saved the Blue Spirit from the Fire Nation guards.
"Cool, he even made a make-shift staff," Melissa said cheering for Aang.
Besides the topic of Aang, many were impressed with the Blue Spirit. Seeing he was ambidextrous when it comes to sword fighting. Being ambidextrous isn't a quirk, it's a skill that is difficult to achieve. Some are born ambidextrous, but some say they can teach themselves to be ambidextrous with years of training the non-writing hand to write and draw.
Aizawa was truly impressed at this masked warrior, whoever he is, is a very skilled warrior. The fact that he is a non-bender is very impressive too.
18:30 - 18:50
The next scene was an interesting way to escape the fortress, by using Aang's make-shift staff, he and The Blue Spirit was able to fly up. Izuku wrote down this technique, assuming this was possible by Airbending, and it was very clever of Aang, but risky too. To the point his hands get tired.
Kosei was impressive too, he cannot do something similar to what Aang just demonstrated.
18:50 - 19:09
The next scene shows both The Avatar and The Blue Spirit fighting side by side defending one another. No one spoke a word as they were impressed at their teamwork and trusted the trust that they gave themselves after meeting each other in a matter of minutes.
19:09 - 19:49
"That's so awesome, using what's available around them, Aang and The Blue Spirit were able to make a make-shift stilts using the ladder," Sen said, but he and his smile turned a frown when one of the Firebender burning the make-shift stilts knocked them both to the ground.
"Shit!" He swore, "what know?"
Sen Kaibara gave a good question, what could the two do now to escape?
19:49 - 19:54
"No!" the students cried as The Firebender went to attack the duo.
Tomura growls, "You Idiots if the Avatar dies, he would reincarnate to the Water Tribes!" He yelles. "Kill the Blue Spirit and capture the Avatar alive, we cannot risk having the monk to die." As much Tomura enjoys the joy of murder, he is smart enough that Killing the Avatar isn't the answer. Torturing him is a least He and Zhao can do.
19:54 - 20:05
It was silence in the theatre.
When they watch as the Blue Spirit has his swords' sharp edge right directly to Aang's throat.
"What the hell is he doing?" Ochaco asks breaking the silence towards everyone in the room.
It was only Stain know truly understands the actions of the Blue Spirit. "This child is what you call a hostage situation, and like most hostage situations, The Blue Spirit has more control over the situation than the Admiral himself." He continues as they listen to the Hero Killer. "This is a last desperate action in order to escape the fortress, and lead them both to freedom."
Spinner continues for his idol. "Stain is right, Zhao couldn't risk having the Avatar be killed, he needs the Avatar alive. True Sozin's comet is coming, but who to say the Fire Nation would still be active to fight the War even before Sozin's Comet? The Earth Kingdom and the Water Tribes could have assassinated the Fire Lore before the comet. Having the Avatar chain is the Fire Nation's best chance of winning the war, without the use of Sozin's comet."
Stain smiled at Spinner, as he continues for him. "If the Blue Spirit kills The Avatar right at the spot, he would be killed too. So of course he would make the Avatar a hostage as a matter for them to escape."
After listening to the Hero Killer and his fanboy, the audience couldn't help but see that they were right. Zhao couldn't risk the Death of Avatar, especially right after getting a promotion straight from the Fire Lord himself. If Aang dies now, his promotion would go to waste, to the possible point of being demoted, or a worst fate than getting demoted.
Whichever action Zhao plays would affect his career within the army and the Fire Nation.
He had no choice but to open the gate, as he command his men to let them go.
20:05 - 20:20
Tomura smiled to learn that Zhao has a plan under his sleeve, to him this is like video game cliches when the player has to press a certain button to benefit the playable character during story mode.
Midoriya just recall Zhao's strongest piece in his arsenal, the same troops that captured the Avatar. "The Yuyan Archers." he gasps.
20:20 - 20:45
Seeing that Aang and The Blue Spirt far way distance from the fortress, some of the students wonder when they haven't run yet, or have the Blue Spirit loosened his swords' grip on Aang's throat. However, some of the students have figured out why The Blue spirit hasn't loosened his grip.
They're not safe, as one of the Yuyan has their aim targeted on The Blue Spirit's head. Ready to knock him out, to be captured and delivered to the Fire Lord, to be punished by the king of the Fire Nation.
"No." Kosie's eyes widen to see what's about to him, "They have to run, or–" However, the boy wasn't able to finish as the Arrow was fired.
20:45 - 20:55
The arrow reaches its target knocking off The blue spirit. Everyone was shocked to see his masks have been loosened up.
"Who is he?" Midoriya asks the million-dollar question, who is the Blue Spirit?
20:55 - 21:10
As Aang created the cover in order for Zhao's man not to see, The Avatar reveal the mysterious Blue Spirit.
Jaws dropped, and food trays fell on the floor as everyone stood up from their seats, as they couldn't believe who was the Blue Spirit all this time.
It was Zuko.
"It's Zuko, he is the Blue Spirit." Izuku dropped his notebook and pencil as he stood up from his seat.
Tomura couldn't believe it too, he stood up from his seat. He doesn't understand why the Banish Prince has saved the Avatar's life.
Dabi and Toya were very surprised to learn that Zuko is the Blue Spirit, he doesn't know what this truly meant, but if he has to guess… He wants to believe that Zuko's action could lead to a chance for Toya to return, even if it's only temporary.
Dabi for the first time in his life, has hope for the return of Toya.
The Pro Heroes don't know what to think, or what to feel at this very moment, They try to make sense of the scene to have a grasp of control or understanding. For once they were clueless, for them not to understand is like being powerless, and control is to have the power to say that Zuko's actions are wrong.
For the first time since coming here to the Theatre, the Pro Heroes lost all control, and they felt powerless. They have no choice but to acknowledge this as fact and it's the truth, that The Banish Prince risks his own life to rescue the Avatar.
That is the truth of the matter, Zuko risk his own life, and there was no telling whether he would come out of the fortress dead or alive, with or without the Avatar. He did it anyway, and now they're free.
Stain was shocked too, He thought the Banish Prince was just like the manchild leader of The League of Villains, but after the previous episode and now, he believes that Zuko has the potential to be good, to be redeemed, and importantly to be a hero, and his actions right now. Shows that the Banish Prince, The First child of Fire Lord Ozai, Prince of the Fire Nation, is a Hero. He just has to, Go the distance, and his journey begins.
The question now is, what would Aang do?
21:10 - 21:17
As Aang was about to run away towards his freedom he suddenly stopped as he looked down at the unconscious Zuko.
Seeing this scene got the audiences' minds juggling wondering what is Aang thinking. To many minds, they have the thought of leaving Zuko for everything he has done since the beginning, they could list every single bad thing he does and say he is the villain. However, after seeing his actions of risking his own life to save Aang. a part of them deep down knows that leaving him with Zhao and his troops would make them awful as Zhao.
They know that they cannot just leave Zuko to his fate in the hands of Zhao, it won't be right, even with every sin that Zuko has done, he doesn't deserve to be captured by Zhao.
Even Katsuki Bakugo and Togaru Kamikiri can see that leaving Zuko to be captured by Zhao isn't the right thing to do, True, it would be so easy to leave him be and get captured. However, Heroes do what's right, not what's easy.
"Damn it." the two mutter under their breath.
For Stain, he believes this is the moment that he is been waiting for. He already saw Katara and Sokka becoming, True Heroes. By Rescuing the Earthbender prisoners from Haru's village, and Saving a Fire Nation village from Jet and the Freedom Fighters.
Now, it all depends on Aang's choice, would he leave the Banish Prince to his horrible fate ahead, or would he save him from this horrible fate?
Izuku, Kosie, and Spinner believe that Aang is going to do the right thing, not what's easy.
'Save him, Avatar Aang.' Thought Dabi hoping that Zuko can have a second chance in life.
21:17 - 21:23
As the dust cleared, the audience couldn't believe what Aang choice to do, he saved Zuko.
There were no sounds, but only silent smiles to a few individuals. Happy with what Aang chooses to do, by doing what's right, not what's easy.
21:23 - 21:35
Comedy strikes back as the scene shows one of the frogs under the feet of Zhao, as he jumps off the Fortress.
"Jump to freedom Froggie." Cheered Twice.
Toga just has to break the thunder. "There is no way that frog survival from jumping that high up, right?"
(Hey Poker here. Yeah, the Author has no clue if frogs can survive jumping that high up or not, perhaps let's just continue to the next scene.)
21:35 - 22:10 (Kuzon)
The next scene shifted to the next morning in the forest. Then they hear Aang talking, telling Zuko and the Audience about his old friend 100 years ago before The War started and before Aang was trapped inside Iceberg.
Many felt sympathy towards Aang, waiting up 100 years later seeing everyone that he ever loved gone. They know that Aang lost the Airbenders and they felt sorry for him, what they don't know is, Aang made many friends all around the world, true it was mentioned before back at the abandoned ship back in the Southern Water Tribe, but this time he has a full discussion about his old friends.
Once upon a time ago, Aang had a best friend from the Fire Nation, a boy named Kuzon. Izuku was about to write down a new page for Kuzon until he found another playing card from Poker, and once again after just picking it up, the card turned into dust. However, instead of Glitter like before, the card itself ignited into flames as the card became ashes.
Within the ashes, the blank page became a written page filled with facts about Kuzon, including the fact that he was a Firebender, and there was also a pencil illustration of Kuzon of what he looked like 100 years ago when the boy was 12 years old. He had light-colored skin, and raven-colored short hair tied in a bun, also identical to Sokka's hair, or Prince Zuko's hair before he got his scar.
Izuku smiled after reading the page about Kuzon, knowing that Kuzon and Aang's friendship, reminded him of his old friendship with Bakugo all those years ago when Bakugo was simply called Kacchan.
Then the audience hears an offer that Aang wants to give to Zuko, his friendship.
An offer they thought was impossible, because of how they saw Zuko as simple as the Banish Prince in a mission to capture the Avatar. That might be his mission, but not who he really is, They know he only does this mission in order to return to his home and get his honor back.
After what they saw, risking his own life to save Aang, is the most honorable thing they ever saw from Zuko.
They understand why Aang would offer Zuko his friendship.
To Dabi he wants Zuko to accept the offer of Aang's Friendship. If his siblings gave that offer, he would take the offer.
22:10 - 22:24
However Zuko rejected the offer by Firebending. Though this moment didn't end up in a battle.
This moment did give the feeling of right or wrong, more like it was poetic in some way. poetic
True, many have wondered why Zuko declined the offer, for someone like Dabi he understands why.
As much as he hopes that Zuko would take the offer, he knows being accepted to be part of Team Avatar won't be simple. What they have last night as the Avatar and The Blue Spirit was a rare moment, a single moment that would never happen back in their world, but it is a moment that Dabi wanted for Toya. Not for the rest of the world, just his siblings. He knows that the world won't expect Toya Todoroki with open arms ever again. If he decided to reveal to the world that he is Toya, he knows it won't be friendly, but probably leaves a huge impact to the world, to the Pro Hero community especially.
Anyways, Toya does see something, that probably some see it too. The opportunity for Zuko to be redeemed has an open door.
It just needs time, and timing can be bitch.
(note, I haven't seen season 6 yet of MHA, or read the manga that is around that season. It's hard to ignore spoilers in social media.)
22:24 - 22:47
The scene showed Aang getting more frozen frogs and Zuko returning to his warship.
There wasn't a lot to say.
But what they know is things won't be the same, especially in how they saw Zuko now, with or without the mask of the Blue Spirit. The audience sees Zuko in a new light.
This light was more clear, but dim, like a small flame, and when you go near it, you don't feel cold like before, not that it felt hot, it was just right.
Depending on the word, "right" to the cast. They cannot deny, this Zuko today isn't like the one before, this is no long the Banish Price they met back at the Southern Water Tribe. This is a new chapter for Zuko.
22:47 - 23:00
In the next scene, Aang gave the frozen frogs to his friends.
"I wonder, is sucking a frozen frog, a good remedy?" Izuku asks, wondering if licking frozen frogs are the next Recovery Girl.
(It is not.)
23:00 - 23:06
"Sadly Sokka, he didn't make any new friends," Kosei said, though a part of him does wonder. Would it be bad for Aang and Zuko to be friends?
Sometimes most friendships start Rocky.
23:06 - 23:20
Izuku blushed to seeing Zuko once again shirtless, knocking the boy down back in his seat. He started to sweat and he starts bites on his lower lip, as he imagine Zuko as Shoto at that very moment.
Shoto on the other hand, is jealous of Zuko, after Midoriya's reaction to seeing him shirtless. 'What does Zuko has, that I don't? That bastard is trying to steal Izuku from me like we both have muscles for Pete's sake.' he thoughts
23:20 - 23:36 (last scene of the episode)
The last scene just shows Sokka and Katara spitting out the frogs as they are cured.
The students would laugh, but their minds are filled with chatter after what they saw in this episode. The cast quietly sat back down trying to process every info they learned today.
None of them wouldn't want to repeat what they learn in conversation, like what's the point? They're shocked as fuck.
Prince Zuko saved the Avatar, and they could simply jog it up to, that he wanted the credit for Capturing the Avatar for the sake of his Honor, but that's too simple and life isn't simple but complicated.
Zuko saved Aang for the sake of continuing to hope, his hope to get home was almost gone.
