I take many forms, and it is your cruelty and desire for vengeance that has shaped me into this: a mirror of your own inner self. C. Is Serious Business: When she springs her trap for Azula at the start of the book, Ty Lee is determined and dead-serious about capturing her.

O Produto não veio lacrado, e apresenta pequenas avarias externas, e isso me incomodou, mas em relação ao conteúdo, achei simplesmente Excepcional, uma história curta, mas que agrega bastante a jornada da Azula, que nos mostra o que aconteceu após os eventos de Smoke and Shadow. For fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Azula is one of the most charismatic and compelling villains of all time, and a solo installment of Dark Horse Comics’ graphic novel continuations has been well overdue. I've escaped, I'm not a captive, I'm free, everything is-- [ Suddenly, she sees that she is now standing in front of the temple again. The subversion comes when, at the end of the story, Azula seems to make a small change for the better anyway and lets go of her desire for revenge against the Fire Warriors because she sees them happy without her. In many ways Azula is the perfect representation of the phrase "Hurt people, hurt people," and after the truly horrifying things Azula has done in her past, it begs the question: can someone like Azula ever really find redemption or reconciliation with her family?

We see a firebending punch at its start and finish, but we don’t feel the motion of the technique behind it, and for a series with bending techniques so strongly built upon martial arts, the lack is noticeable.

More recently in the Avatar: The Last Airbender sequel comics, Azula has become obsessed with causing instability in her brother's Fire Nation through political turmoil and upheaval. When reflecting on her mother's seeming disappointment when she first discovered firebending, Azula by the present at least understands that Ursa was scared for her as much as she was scared of her. Again, these are tie-in comics, I'm not expecting anything huge, but all of the other stories we've gotten have at least been fun character pieces. Subverted when Ozai hugs and praises Azula in a flashback after she first firebends, as it's framed as yet another example of Ozai only valuing Azula for her power.Azula is a very interesting character and the state things are right now makes her even more intriguing and filled with potential so having, at the very least, one full comic about her seems like a huge treat. Which is extremely disappointing considering that she is one of the most interesting characters from the series who you start out hating but end up just feeling bad for. In fact, this graphic novel serves as a great character study, showing Azula’s drives and fatal flaws. She has done horrific things to her brother and nation, and it will be fascinating to see whether she is able to choose to atone for her sins and attempt redemption.

But after a failed attack on her latest target, Azula finds herself in a mysterious forest temple inhabited by a solitary monk.One new reveal that was only hinted at in the show was the abandonment Azula felt when her mother left to live her own life outside the palace walls of the Fire Nation Capital.

It's especially notable since during the Agni Kai where he actually got his scar Azula had a front-row seat and was enjoying it. The other Fire Warriors are visibly displeased by this, but Azula casually rebuffs them by saying that in war casualties are inevitable.As she continues walking and putting on her cloak, a smaller form of the insectoid spirit scuttles away behind her back, unnoticed.
