    Iroh said that you have to be cold to shoot lightning, and that Zuko was unable to because he had "inner turmoil". Well, as you saw from the finale, Azula was going bat-****ing psycho over the loss of her friends and the hallucination of her mother. How was she in the right state of mind to shoot lightning at Katara?

    Did he litterally mean cold like shivering or did he mean like cold blooded killer, if its one then it was possible, if its the other then i completely agree with you.

    All she needed was a single moment of focus to do it. And in the future please use this thread for questions.

    I 100% agree, in my opinion it was a major mistake. I was one of the people that said, before the finale aired, that Azula shouldn't be able to bend lightning because of the turmoil inside of her after the loss of her closest friends.

    I think it was fueled by rage and mania. It's the cold-blooded fire.

    Even as Azula's losing her mind, she's still precise and deadly. Just not AS precise and deadly.

    She could have simply perfected the action of lightning bending to the point where she can do it regardless.
