My bad for the not reading the first post.
I agree with the defensive aspect of firebending. I'm pretty sure he defended himself from firebending at least once (other than the lightning).
More importantly he had a fear of firebending ever since he burnt Katara. Learning Firebending not only made him more powerful but was also helped get him over his fear of firebending. If he hadn't learned the true purpose of firebending he would still be fearful of it and wouldn't have been ready to face the firelord.
Just because Iroh made the move doesn't mean it's a firebending technique. He even said that it came from studying waterbenders.

he used firebending to block some of ozai's fire attacks and he shot down the blimp with it.
also going into the batlle he didnt know that he would get his AS back

| He didn't use any of it outside the Avatar State and IN the Avatar state he has mastery over elements he's never learned anyways. So what was the point? I was hoping to see him use all four elements in offense/defense against the Fire Lord, like he used 3 elements in The Drill. And even when he was in the Avatar State, while it looked awesome, his Fire bending was only used to make his air sphere look like a planet (oh, and it was incorporated in the unfinished final death blow). I don't remember any blows or anything. It ALMOST made the Firebending Masters look like a pointless episode since his firebending never proved nessaccary for anything. Yes, he did re-direct lightning and I suppose that's firebending, but actually producing fire . . . it sadly served no purpose at all. All that training with Zuko, except for when he learned to re-direct lightning, he could've just spent with Toph and it would've made almost no difference to the finale. |
ummm......aang did fire bend.....he used it to take down Ozai's ship....and also, in the beginning of SC, Aang said himself that he wasnt ready yet cuz he wasnt that god at firebending....so ya.....and also, why would he want to firebend if Ozai knows how to deflect fire probably....just a thought...
