Doesn't Iroh remind you of Master Roshi from DBZ?

    I just saw Episode 15 again and thought the way Iroh was acting towards Jun kinda of reminded you of the way Master Roshi act towards girls. Roshi is obviously perverted. And then he gets serious when it comes to battles. Samething with Iroh.
    Perfect example when Zuko told him "Uncle.....i didn't see you get hit with the touge". And Iroh goes "Shhhhhhhh..."
    See what i mean?

    Doesn't he remind you of Master Roshi?

    I know who you're talking about and both me & my husband agree (I got him hooked on DBZ too) there is a definate parallel. Though I don't think that Iroh has a stash of girly scrolls hidden in his room. *thinks* Then again I really wouldn't be that surprised. ^_^*

    I thought so to...however, I believe that a lot of older men in anime series could/would remind you of Iroh because a lot of them are perverted and like to ham it up around pretty, young girls.

    He is somewhat like Roshi, but really if anything Iroh is a very toned down Roshi.

    i think iroh is a tribute to the old men archetypes of anime - wise, but perverted - altho iroh isn't nearly as bad as roshi. i enjoy iroh's character as his cheesy lines of humor are hilarious

    I think he just nail this one: That it right there. Roshi by the way is not the first stereotypical anime wise old man, just one of many, Iroh is by far not the last.

    Actually, the Captain Commander from Bleach resembles Roshi more. In their normal state, they look thin and kinda frail, but when they power up, both their chest and arms bulk up enormously. Both are bald. Both are insanely powerful.
