    Interesting then that the scene immediately following the confession and kiss is a scene of Zuko at Mai's house. He looks around at all the fond memories, and, so incredibly sad to leave the girl he cares for so incredibly much and who loves him right back, says he's sorry and puts the note on her bed. This after a lengthy letter-writing scene.

    (And by the way, remember when Aang said "I'm sorry, Katara" in "Crossroads of Destiny?")

    Interesting that Aang's romantic storyline is juxtaposed with Zuko's.


    Its interesting to see, at the same time, Katara look away, Zuko leaves Mai. I'm sure Mai will betray him, in an upcoming episode, like we can see one of the panel.

    Katara loves Aang the same way a mother loves her child...in an incestuous way.

    he didnt have to COMPLETELY let go of her, just not have her as the main aspect of his life. Therefore, 1.Being the avatar 2.Katara

    Exactly in roku's words

    "When love is real, it finds a way" Directing to Aang and Katara.

    Roku- love is hard when you're young

    Aang- You don't have to telll me

    Roku- Don't worry it gets better.



    It could refering to Zuko and Katara too, Roku was 16 at this time. ( )

    I suggest you look up the word incestuous. That's as detailed as it gets.

    No- They are not related nor do they act it- therfore no incest problems- incest free

    Zuko isn't the avatar. Plus, roku was telling aang not zuko. Finally, roku was 19 because he spent 3 years mastering the elements.

    Firstly, when Roku saw the girl "that didn't even know he existed," that was BEFORE he knew he was the Avatar and set off to master the elements, so he was indeed 16 at the time. Then he left, spent 12 years mastering the elements, and returned to the fire nation as a fully realized Avatar.

    actually he spent 12 years mastering the avatar state, first with an airbending master, than an waterbender master, than an earthbender master, than a few years in the fire temple to learn reaching the avatar state. He got married soon after returning to the fire nation capital when he was 28

    the "first colony" try was when Roku was 33, than Sozin didn't attempt anything like that for at least 25 years, which was the year that Roku died
