i've been thinking on Book 1, The Blue Spirit...... when zuko gets hit on the head and ang saves him etc.... when zuko wakes up and ang says. that he used to have a??friend from the fire nation that he'd visit every day and they gotz into a whole lot of trouble...... (yeah go on)...... well could that friend be.......(takes off glasses, and screen zoom's in).... Iroh? i know that iroh doesnt look that old but who knows how old is he? so is iroh that friend? what do you guys think?

That would be interesting, but Iroh doesn't look as old as King Bumi. He looks too healthy to be about 112 years old. Maybe it was another member of the royal family....

I too didn't 'catch' the name the first time... but in that episode Aang says "my friend Kuzon"... I also asked this question before in another thread about this episode in particular. I think if you want further info on it, you can go to the episodes section of this website and they talk about that scene and Aang's friend Kuzon.

it CANNOT be Iroh, he was not born yet because his father, Azulon was only a child if not even born yet

When Aang was originally around, Sozin was the firelord, Sozin is Azulon's father and Azulon is Iroh's father... Sozin was quite young at the time Aang was born considering Sozin ruled for quite a long time since his successor, Azulon was only on the throne for 23 years before he met his demise.

Thanks for posting this I was thinking the same thing too. Why did they meation this random fire person? ( when i was watching i was??thinking????this) I came to several conclusions?? the uncle seems to know alot. Your right he didn't try to caught the avatar nor did he seem surprised by Aang when he first saw him for the first time??or any other time. he aslo has been to the Spirit world. I am wondering?? if he is really this Kuzon person ??or knows his where abouts. Is?? he in fact a spirit himself or use to be( remember the fish they were inmoral but crossed over?? and were still infact?? had some power just moral if this is the case maybe the reverse happened to Iroh???? (human then spirit). Maybe he is the reincartion of this guy? Yup I am just brainnstorming no real theories LOL. It is intersting how Aang in the start of their quest wanted to go to?? where King bumi was he might have said his name. Now this guy? The only thing I can think of is that it was just for Zuko to think about so they could be come friends. or he will be named again in the last chapter.

It is defenitely not Iroh. Sozin was Zuko's great grandfather, therefore Iroh's grandfather.

If he was Kuzon then why is he named Iroh now?

Yeah, his name was Kuzon. On one of the nick forums, some one thought that it was Kuzon's comet and Kuzon started the war XD

There's a theory that Kuzon his an ancestor of Zuko (Ursa's grandfather or something like that).?? How much interaction was there anyway between the 4 nations??? So far Aang has gotten into trouble with Boomi of the earth kingdom and Kuzon of the fire nation. (Kuzon more than Boomi)

One major flaw in this theory. Iroh is in his late 50's and Aang was frozen for 100 years. I highly doubt that Iroh was about -44 years old before Aang was frozen.

Nah...highly unlikely..my feeling is that Kuzon is a character we'll never get to hear about again in the future episodes.
