    in the Southern Raider, anyone notice the blatant role reversal?

    Katara-become revenge hungry, dark, and drawn back aka the former zuko

    zuko-become caring, human, and empathic aka Katara

    no one else mentioned it.

    ...you're not serious? Zuko was really vengeful in this episode.

    Yeah, the only thing that pretty much made him crap in his pants, was the bloodbending part. But he seemed to be fine with it...

    To me he seemed a little more drawn back from his dark side, although he didn't verbally protest, it was more in his body language

    To me, they were both very much the same for most of the episode. They both wanted to make the guy suffered for what he did to Katara's mother, but they both realized the errors of their ways at the very end.

    srsly? are we talking about the same ep here? zuko had no grudge against the guy at all. and why would he? all he wanted was to get katara to the confrontation she was looking for so she could resolve it however she chose. he may have tried justifying her desire for revenge to aang, but he didn't particularly encourage it.

    I think that's more shown in the Western Air Temple. Zuko begging for forgiveness while Katara is making threats at him.
