Yes that???s right it???s yet another one of my classic ???Theory Threads???, and once again another to share.

??So seeing that Iroh is going to be heading to Ba Sing Se the place where he laid siege on for 600 days and lost his son. Now we all know that a few things are going to happen: 1. Eventually he is going to be discovered by the Earth Kingdom. 2. We are going to see more concerning the siege and what happened to Iroh???s son. 3. We also know that when Aang and the gang face Ozai in the final throw down that the FN will attack Ba Sing Se with everything they got and wipe it out with the power of Sozin???s comet.

??Now seeing as we are over half way through the series here comes my theory about Ba Sing Se and Iroh. I believe that over the next 29 episodes that Iroh will over time make peace with the people of Ba Sing Se and most importantly won???t be arrested or killed. Now this part has been bothering me how will Ba Sing Se survive the FN attack? They will be super powered by the comet and they???ll be going full force at them my theory is that Iroh will defend Ba Sing Se from the attack and being the strongest Firebender we???ve seen on the show he will be able to tap into the comet and be able to hold back the forces long enough so the fire lord can be defeated and the comet can either pass or be destroyed which ever.

??The main reason I think this is because every important event that has happened in his life has been connected to Ba Sing Se, his final battle as a general, his son???s death, the loss of his birth right. And how very fitting that he would defend the very place that he had sought to destroy not only that but in my theory Iroh will become fire lord after Ozai and if you think about it if Iroh helps save Ba Sing Se then the EK would actually approve of Iroh being the next Fire Lord because they would see the kind of person he really is a caring honorable person who only did what he thought was right.

I understand that it???s a bit early to be making assumptions on the series finale but I can???t help but feel that everything about Iroh???s character has been leading to his return to the city and defending and in fact saving it would complete his character???s evolution.

Thoughts?

It dosen't seem likely that the Earth Kingdom will forgive Iroh. He would really have to show them that he is a changed man.

When you say that the FN will?? have the power of Sozen's comet, I guess you are assuming that Aang won't defeat the Fire Lord before its return. (which is most likely true, considering everything always goes wrong for the protagonist)

i do think the earth kingdom will forgive iroh if what i think will happen in the next movie happens:

when the fire nation attacks ba sing something iroh will help in a very important way to defeat the fire nation

Hi I SpeakTheTruth,

- I agree with a lot of what you said, and I think it could happen just that way.?? Here are some other thoughts/possibilities.?? I haven't thought these through in great depth, just throwin' them out there.

- I think that Iroh might die defending Ba Sing Se.?? I also think that Zuko will help in that defense if he grows to care about the people in the city and/or the Earth Kingdom??enough.?? There's already been a bit of foreshadowing about that.?? The next two or three episodes may give more clues as to whether or not that is likely to happen.

- Good points about the comet.?? We also have to keep in mind that there is also a solar eclipse coming at some point in the near future.??
