Avatar the last airbender season 2 episode 6 dailymotion series#
Take a second, marinate on that one, and I’ll see you next week.“Avatar: The Last Airbender” is one of the best animated series of all time. There’s one line of dialogue that stuck with me this week, and it’s Zuko telling his uncle that “if Zhao wants to follow a trail of smoke, then that’s exactly what I’ll let him do”. Where the first part is about spirituality in nature and the surrounding world, this week’s is about spirituality challenged in wartime. And Zhao has the sages in prison, another example of the Fire Nation throwing away their spiritual connections in order to win the war.ĭespite the hand-wringing on my part of the slight disappointments of the first part of Winter Solstice, the connections between the two make sense. His obsessive quest for redemption has led him to abandon the Fire Nation ship, and, seemingly Iroh as well. So, where are we left at the end of this two-parter? Not only do we have a time limit in which Aang has to realize his destiny, but we see Zuko following him on a smaller ship. Once the Fire Nation forces abandon the Temple, Aang leaves the manifestation of Roku, and Team Avatar escape. It’s interesting, given Avatar‘s seemingly endless supply of calm, wisened old men, that one such type could unleash as much power as Roku, who destroys the Temple. While in the sanctuary, he learns from Avatar Roku about the comet, and he lends Aang the power he needs to face the Fire Nation offensive on the other side of the doors (Zhao having foiled Zuko’s plan and made it to the temple). Needless to say, Aang escapes from Zuko (although Sokka and Katara do not) and makes his way into the sanctuary. The Fire Sages are tricked into opening the door, but Zuko has made his way to the Temple, putting a dampener on the Team’s plan. Meanwhile, the team find their way up to the sanctuary where Avatar Roku’s statue is, held back by a door that only Firebenders can open. With Zuko’s warship billowing smoke from Zhao’s attack, the ship keeps on heading towards the temple using the smoke as a cover. (There are a few Fire Nation characters that seem spiritually fulfilled, such as Shyu and Iroh, who saw Aang’s vision of Roku’s dragon in part one.) This gives us an idea of what’s truly at stake with this war – the rekindling or loss of capital-F faith. It’s heavy stuff, to reject all this despite the fact that, with the Avatar being reincarnated, it is all the world can see. Shyu betrayed the rest of the Sages – and the Fire Nation – by supporting the Avatar for what he sees as the greater good, keeping his spiritual and moral boundaries.Īlong with Katara’s comment that the temple seems abandoned since Roku’s death, the question is raised of whether or not the Fire Nation has truly abandoned their spiritual beliefs in times of war. While escaping, they are found by a sympathetic Sage, Shyu, who helps them escape the attacks and leads them towards the statue of Avatar Roku. Team Avatar arrive at the Fire Nation temple from Aang’s vision, guarded by the Fire Sages, who promptly attack the team.

“This must be my lucky day,” drips Zhao in his biggest, baddest baddie voice. After a battle/evasion, both groups successfully run the blockade and enter the Fire Nation, with Zhao allowing Zuko through to lead him to the Avatar. Once they had left – and Zuko had done some off-screen interrogating with one of the elders of Senlin Village – the episode wasted no time pitting Zuko’s warship against our heroes, then pitting the two of them against a Fire Nation blockade led by Commander Zhao (hello!). So, now Team Avatar are working on a deadline to stop this from happening, and we have something driving the main timeframe of the show.Īvatar Roku was pretty full-pelt from the start, only allowing itself some awkward early references to the previous episode (no “Previously on Avatar” yet, which would have been neat), like the non-drama of Sokka and Katara momentarily not going with Aang to the Fire Nation. He’ll be incredibly powerful, so much so that the Avatar’s actions to stop peace could be rendered pointless. With the power given by the comet, the new Fire Lord (and Zuko’s dad) Ozai could easily shape the world in his own image. The comet gives Firebenders great power, and this is exactly what’s going to happen when the same comet appears in, say, a few months. Turns out the comet was responsible for starting the war when, a hundred years ago, then-Fire Lord Sozin and his army harnessed their Firebending energy on the night of the comet crashing. Aang’s visions of the comet has led to him entering the Fire Nation to converse with the spirit of Avatar Roku. Thanks to this episode, we now have a solid story arc instead of the (still fun!) misadventures of traipsing from village to village until the North Pole comes into sight.
