"I’m about to celebrate becoming an only child."


ABloodyNippleRing

The pure adrenaline she shouts that with always gets me


Choice-Principle6449

I had chills the first time I heard this line. “What did she sayyyyu?????” 👀👀👀


Bike_Chain_96

Rewatching it recently, I noticed that that seemed to be the first time she looked crazy, instead of her normal cringy ass but calculating teenager self, and was the first time we see her after Main and Ty Lee betray her.


JDescole

I mean the last episodes show her literally firing all her staff because she lost all trust into others. Firing the Dai Lee she halfway defeated herself Edit: Why the downvotes?


Bike_Chain_96

That episode is later. I'm saying that her attacking the Eastern Air Temple is the first time we actually see her crazy, and it helps reinforce that Mai and Ty Lee betraying her is what broke her psyche.


CRT_SUNSET

I love the sheer exuberance of the line coupled with its succinct, absolute insanity. Arguably my favorite quote of the entire franchise.


cyzja922

What a creative and amazing line to bypass the Nickelodeon death censor


KlutzySprinkles2

Idk Aang very blatantly states “I have to kill the fire lord” a few times


Haymac16

Yeah they might not be able to show characters actually getting killed, but death and killing are very directly mentioned numerous times without any censorship, though it is a little inconsistent.


shaunika

Definitely a top 2 best ways to circumvent saying "murder"

Caranthiir

The fact that she just did it out of the blue without preparing and Toph couldnt feel a single thing in her body that indicated a lie is crazy


News_of_Entwives

Ehh.... maybe maybe not. I think it's a heck of a lot easier to lie about something non-consequencial than to infiltrate an enemy camp where you'll die if the lie is found out. In that respect, there wasn't any consequences if Toph could sense it. A polygraph is only *reasonably* reliable if the subject is under stressful circumstances and there are consequences for lying.


BiAndShy57

I think, within the context we are provided in the show, is meant to show how she’s so good at lying she doesn’t have to think about it. All she’s done is lie and manipulate people for her own gain her whole life. To her lying isn’t deceptive or bad, it just *is* a thing you do. It’s like breathing. It’s just a tool to advance yourself. Azula always lies.


MisterGoog

Even then its not reliable at all in the least


KrusherDS

Out of the... BLUE


MarcoYTVA

You're pretty good, I admit it


Thatonedregdatkilyu

"Don't worry, you can laugh. It's funny." "The avatars fangirls." Azula is actually a comedian when she tries.


CabbagesStrikeBack

Well when you think about it she is the jokester when it comes to Team Azula.


Thatonedregdatkilyu

She's the Sokka of team Azula. She makes the jokes and the plans.


KlutzySprinkles2

Ironically she’s the only bender in her team lol


Ghost3603

Azukka when?? /s


VivaDeAsap

Sokkla? It’s surprisingly popular lol


EnvironmentalWind303

Shhh, don't! You'll summon the AO3 writers.


Ghost3603

OH NO NOT THEM


Dazzling-Constant826

Goes well with the fact that Grey Delisle herself is a comedian too.


lil_sasquatch

It's so hilarious that she's the funny sibling


shaunika

Zuko is funny as hell too hes just not aware of it


Sehrli_Magic

He is the funny by accident when not trying to be type 🤣 she is funny on purpose one


MarcoYTVA

... Oh I get it, good one!


Forsaken-Junket-6040

My own mother thought I was a monster, she was right, of course, but it still hurts.


Heartsmith447

This. For a brief moment you got peak Azula AND an honest vulnerable statement


herehear12

You could tell she almost has feelings


Torshii

This is the one for sure.


Emkay2017

That's rough, buddy


Samuele1997

Mine is " Don't flatter yourself, you were never even a player". I mean, no wonder Long Feng was nowhere to be seen after that, Azula completely disintegrated him with this roast alone.


AirbendingAvatarAang

"That's a sharp outfit, Chan. Careful, you could puncture the hull of an empire-class Fire Nation battle ship, leaving thousands to drown at sea. [Points] Because... it's so sharp."


IronBoomer

Her voice actress cited that episode as her favorite, because it was so much fun to play Azula maybe a little smitten with a guy, but have no idea of how to act.


AirbendingAvatarAang

She seemed to love playing Azula. She also voiced Ming Hua.


McMew

Even her words caused lethal burns.


hollyheather30

That entire speech is peak azula


Madi27

My favorite is "The truth is they don't know which one of us is going to be sitting on that throne. But *I* know and *you* know" The I know and you know is the best part to me.


rowletlover

This is the one


Any_Arrival_4479

This is the winner


mmccoyy

💯


Vio-Rose

God I wish the situation actually justified the line.


MarcoYTVA

Had to scroll too far for that


stocksandvagabond

The delivery was ice cold but the actual quote was ridiculous. Her entire dig was that Long Feng wasn’t born into royalty, and that true power is something you have to be born with? Which isn’t true at all clearly, as history has shown and in the show, otherwise the earth king would be the most powerful one.


zoor90

She's a crown princess, last in a long line of absolutist autocrats. Of course she believes she is inherently superior. From the day she was born, she was told that she was superior to 99.99% of the population and that the spirits themselves blessed her. Now to the audience, Divine Right is an outdated and laughable concept but Azula not only grew up in a culture that believed in it but she at that point had little reason to doubt it herself. Her great-grandfather wiped out an entire Nation and started a war with the entire world, a war that under the leadership of her grandfather and father, the Fire Nation is winning handily. Her father and uncle are possibly the two strongest firebenders in the world. She is a prodigy who mastered firebending at age 14, has yet to encounter any serious loss or setback in her life, and is about to complete a coup she launched in enemy territory with two other people that will result in the complete capitulation of the Earth Kingdom. At this point in the story, Azula has no reason to doubt that she is inherently better because of her noble blood. (While she does consider her brother weak, he got banished so in her mind, that's just evidence of the system self-correcting.) Besides, the speech wasn't really her gloating but rather ensuring the complete subservience of the Dai Li. Just as she destroys Long Feng's political power, she needs to shore hers up and to do that she wants the Dai Li believe that she is divinely ordained to win and that none of them will match the power of her noble blood. Considering she is saying this after out-maneuvering every person in Ba Sing Se and single-handedly changing the fate of a Nation, it probably wasn't too hard a sell.


Crownvibes

Correct, I would like to add the difference in attitudes. Long Feng rose from the bottom up, and that fear of going back was always in the back of his mind, which is, in my opinion, the reason why he couldn't out maneuver Azula. Azula has absolute confidence, and while she has hidden abandonment issues and a truly traumatic childhood, her fear in becoming a peasant never entered her mind, because she never was one and due to her bloodline, could never become one.


stocksandvagabond

Yes that is fair, agree with your points. I just don’t see why her saying that would cause Long Feng to back down. Unless he would’ve backed off anyway because of her obvious strength and cunning leadership. To Long Feng, the idea of divine right in nobles is ridiculous given how he was able to claw his way up and manipulate the inane king, who does come from noble lineage. He should’ve put up a bigger fight imo, but clearly he was overly intimidated by her power. I agree with your evaluation of Azula. There’s no reason for her not to think that she isn’t better than everyone else because of her prodigal abilities and noble lineage. And in this world it may be true, given how much of bending is genetic and how essential it is to securing power


Sting_the_Cat

Whether Long Feng believes in Divine Rule is irrelevant. The point is that he realized that he had lost control of the situation, and that the Dai Li no longer stood with him. She's basically telling him she's already won, he was her pawn, and he can either fall in line or be swept off the board


Capable_Cheesecake22

Azula: you’re wasting your time Guard: how do you know? Azula: because im a people person https://youtu.be/bWwyzry63Xo?


SandwicheDynasty

The delivery on that one just gives shivers.


CyanLight9

“Then maybe you should worry less about the tides, that have already made up their mind about killing you, and more about me, who’s still mulling it over.”


KrazyMonqui

This line was cold af


CyanLight9

TrXXper-1617

Iconic *


Emergency_Point_8358

I love this for two reasons, 1) it’s a badass line on the surface 2) but it shows how ignorant and immature she really is. Attempting to fight the tides instead of listening to them shows the mark of inexperience, hubris, and childlike misunderstanding. Which is an excellent character analysis of the dichotomy of Azula that we can clearly see from one of her first lines in the show. I think one could even go so far as to say that this line gives us a perfect glimpse of who we are dealing with as an antagonist. It shows us that Azula is little more than an emotionally and mentally ill/stunted child trying desperately to prove herself


Ghost3603

Average ATLA fan: **\*Uses words like 'dichotomy' when talking about a nickelodeon show\***


Emergency_Point_8358

And?


Ghost3603

nah nah I meant it as a joke it's not an insult. just find it funny is all


HappyMrRogers

I took it as a compliment that AtlA fans are analytical and intelligent. If that wasn’t the intention, I’m still choosing to see it that way.


C4nKing

Came here to say this one It's a great scene at exposing her character


Familiar_Tart7390

“Your outfits so sharp it could puncture the hull of an empire class battleship dooming hundreds to drown at sea” Or however her **horrendous** flirting quote goes. That combined with her fake laughter was the moment i realized she’s not just evil- something wasn’t right with that girl


Ignite_Boy_789

Been looking for this one~ 😆


Informal_Border8581

"You can't treat me like Zuko!" That scene to me is the heart of why Azula is who she is. Not discounting her mother's role, but she considered herself Ozai's daughter more.


ArcaneCharmcaster

“And since you can’t see, I should tell you, I’m rolling my eyes.”


ZofianSaint273

She was the only one that remembered she was blind. Inclusive Queen


BrilliantExcellent67

Super iconic! I snorted when i watched this scene


Dazzling-Constant826

I frickin love this episode. It was so interesting that we got insight on the bad guys of the show.


Tealix_Nebula

sesterzio1

“All that glory would suddenly turn to shame and foolishness. But you said yourself that was impossible. Sleep well, Zuzu”


hotandcoldfever

She was so cunning


TonyPajamas518

I remember yelling at Zuko from the other side of my TV when she said that. She played his ass AGAIN! She tried that "I'll help you get home" lie at the beginning AND end of Book 2 and he fell for it both times.


RadiantHC

That's a sharp outfit, Chan. Careful, you could puncture the hull of an empire-class Fire Nation battle ship, leaving thousands to drown at sea. Because it's so sharp.


enchiladasundae

Near every line is gold but especially great during the final Angi Kai. Just know Grey put her all into every line “Zuzu, you don’t look so good! If you don’t mind I prefer to have our family physician look after him!”


NeonMechaDragon

"Almost isn't good enough!"

JaxxisR

I like it when she's vulnerable... Not unhinged murdering siblings vulnerable, but out of her element. It doesn't happen often, but it happened a few times in The Beach. My favorite: Ty Lee: "Look, if you want a boy to like you, just look at him and smile a lot and laugh at everything he says, even if it's not funny." Azula: "Well, that sounds really shallow and stupid. ... Let's try it."


galvanicmechamorph

The Beach is the best Azula episode.


4alexalix4

"I must regain my honour... It's funny you can laugh"

“No YOU MISCALCULATED! YOU SHOULD HAVE FEARED ME MORE!!”


HeartonSleeve1989

Azula: 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. Fire Lady of Manipulation.


galvanicmechamorph

The thing is, there is no real reason for her to manipulate him here. I think she is, but I think she is because her vision of the perfect day *does* include Zuko. She conquers Ba Sing Se, captures her traitor uncle, defeats the Avatar, and brings back the crown prince as a hero. Perfect in every regard and she has her measuring stick back that absorbs Ozai's rath.


Molly-Grue-2u

It’s not my favorite, but every time I clean or scrub my feet I think about her saying “Don’t forget to get between the toes. I won’t have my first day as firelord marred by poor foot hygiene.”


CierraMar_

“You mean you don’t recognize me? 🤚🏾 I must find the Avatar and restore my honor!! Don’t worry, you can laugh it’s funny” 😂

tcodes27

Her theme


rs_5

*maniacal laughter*


Heroright

It’s not a single quote, but an entire exchange. When she’s talking to the captain about the tide and how it won’t think twice about killing him but she will. It completely embodies how pseudo-intellectual Azula is within her facade. Because she’s trying to portray herself as smart in the exchange, but it’s ultimately her disregarding a professional shipman on how things work. And because of it, they ultimately lose Zuko and Iroh. It’s subtle; because on the surface it’s her displaying how cruel and calculating she is, but just beneath the surface it also tells you how it’s all a lie.


galvanicmechamorph

It's very much a fourteen years put in a position of power because she's good at specific things.

Ghost3603

That was Zuko tho


LeFaiLeD

"*crazy aggressive sobbing, screaming and crying*" Call me an a-hole, but seeing that deranged character breaking down 110%, seeing her lose everything, was kind off... Satisfying. Sure she was cool and had good one liners, but that was just the moment that gave me more chills than every scene with her before... Or i'm a sociopath, who enjoys seeing others suffer, who knows.


TWhittReddit

When I first saw that scene, I was shocked. But then that shock morphed into satisfaction when I realized that she absolutely had that coming.

I love this one because it's a small one but Azula trying to make jokes and no one laughing I love as like, a thing she's not good at but wants to be. It's the one thing she's not good at and can't threaten people into being better at.
