Uncle Iroh's Wisest and Most Iconic Moments 🍵 | Avatar: The Last Airbender

did i ever tell you how i got the nickname the dragon of the west i'm not interested in a lengthy anecdote uncle it's more of a demonstration really only once every hundred years can a firepin experience this kind of power so whatever you do to that spirit i'll unleash a new tenfold let it go now [Music] uh you can teach me to redirect lightning if you let the energy in your own body flow the lightning will follow it you must create a pathway from your fingertips up your arm to your shoulder then down into your stomach the stomach is the source of energy in your body it is called the sea of chi only in my case it is more like a vast ocean from the stomach you direct it up again and out the other arm the stomach detour is critical you must not let the lightning pass through your heart where the damage could be deadly now are you focusing your energy can you feel your own chi flowing in down up and out i think so come on you've got to feel the flow [Music] excellent you've got it great i'm ready to try with real lightning what are you crazy lightning is very dangerous i thought that was the point you teaching me how to protect myself from it yeah but i'm not going to shoot lightning at you that's it your father raised a coward next time you get in my way i promise i won't hold back [Music] do not taint your victory so this is how the great commander zhao acts in defeat disgraceful even in exile my nephew is more honorable than you thanks again for the tea it was delicious did you really mean that uncle of course i told you jinxing tea is my favorite fire is the element of power the people of the fire nation have desire and will and the energy and drive to achieve what they want earth is the element of substance the people of the earth kingdom are diverse and strong they are persistent and enduring air is the element of freedom the air nomads detached themselves from worldly concerns and found peace and freedom also they apparently had pretty good senses of humor water is the element of change the people of the water tribe are capable of adapting to many things they have a deep sense of community and love that holds them together through anything why are you telling me these things it is important to draw wisdom from many different places if we take it from only one place it becomes rigid and stale understanding others the other elements and the other nations will help you become whole all this for elements talk is sounding like avatar stuff it is the combination of the four elements in one person that makes the avatar so powerful but it can make you more powerful too i know we've had some difficult times lately we've had to struggle just to get by but it's nothing to be ashamed of there is a simple honor in poverty there's no honor for me without the avatar zerko even if you did capture the avatar i'm not so sure it would solve our problems not now and there is no hope at all no you must never give in to despair allow yourself to slip down that road and you surrender to your lowest instincts in the darkest times hope is something you give yourself that is the meaning of inner strength [Music] i know what you're thinking i look like i can't handle being by myself i wasn't thinking that you wouldn't even let me pour my own cup of tea i poured your tea because i wanted to and for no other reason people see me and think i'm weak they want to take care of me but i can take care of myself by myself you sound like my nephew always thinking you need to do things on your own without anyone's support there is nothing wrong with letting people who love you help you not that i love you i just met you so where is your nephew i've been tracking him actually is he lost yes a little bit his life has recently changed and he's going through very difficult times he's trying to figure out who he is and he went away so now you're following him i know he doesn't want me around right now but if he needs me i'll be there your nephew is very lucky even if he doesn't know it thank you my pleasure sharing tea with a fascinating stranger is one of life's true delights no thank you for what you said it helped me i'm glad oh and about your nephew maybe you should tell him that you need him too [Music] uncle so the blue spirit i wonder who could be behind that mask what are you doing here i was just about to ask you the same thing what do you plan to do now that you found the avatar's bison keep it locked in our new apartment should i go put on a pot of tea for him first i have to get it out of here and then what you never think these things through this is exactly what happened when you captured the avatar at the north pole you had him and then you had nowhere to go i would have figured something out no if his friends hadn't found you you would have frozen to death i know my own destiny uncle is it your own destiny or is it a destiny someone else has tried to force on you stop it uncle i have to do this i'm begging you prince tuko it's time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions who are you and what do you want oh [Applause] why can't i do it instead of lightning it keeps exploding in my face like everything always does i was afraid this might happen you will not be able to master lightning until you have dealt with a turmoil inside you what turmoil duco you must let go of your feelings of shame if you want your anger to go away but i don't feel any shame at all i'm as proud as ever prince zuko pride is not the opposite of shame but it's source true humility is the only antidote to shame well my life has been nothing but humbling lately so top thinks you get pretty good advice and great tea the key to both is proper aging what's on your mind well i met with this guru who was supposed to help me master the avatar state and control this great power but to do it i had to let go of someone i love and i just couldn't perfection and power are overrated i think you are very wise to choose happiness and love what happens if we can't save everyone and beat a zulu without the avatar state what if i'm not powerful enough i don't know the answer sometimes life is like this dark tunnel you can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel but if you just keep moving you will come to a better place [Music] you used to be the pride of the fire nation our top general the dragon of the west now look at you look what you've become [Music] [Applause] [Music] i bet you're tired of being in the cell old man well too bad you're never stepping outside these walls again breakfast careful me don't get too close essential knock you right out i snuck in some white jade tea i know you like rare teas thank you ming ever since i was put in here you have been very kind to me i think you should take the rest of the day off what you don't look well maybe you should go home and rest no i feel fine trust me it is better that you are not here this afternoon [Music] uncle where's my uncle he's gone he busted himself out i've never seen anything like it he was like a one-man army why uncle you're not the man you used to be zuko you are stronger and wiser and freer than you have ever been and now you have come to the crossroads of your destiny it's time for you to choose it's time for you to choose good i expected this kind of treachery from uncle butsuko prince zuko you're a lot of things but you're not a traitor are you release him immediately it's not too late for you zuko you can still redeem yourself the kind of redemption she offers is not for you why don't you let him decide uncle i need you zuko i've plotted every move of this day this glorious day in fire nation history and the only way we win is together at the end of this day you will have your honor back you will have father's love you will have everything you want zuko i am begging you look into your heart and see what it is that you truly want you are free to choose [Music] uncle i know you must have mixed feelings about seeing me but i want you to know i am so so sorry uncle i am so sorry and ashamed of what i did i don't know how i can ever make it up to you how can you forgive me so easily i thought you would be furious with me i was never angry with you i was sad because i was afraid you lost your way i did lose my way but you found it again and you did it by yourself and i'm so happy you found your way here it wasn't that hard uncle you have a pretty strong scent [Music] happy birthday my son [Music] if only i could have helped you leave from the vine falling so slow like fragile tiny shells drifting in the phone come on [Music] comes marching home
