![]() During this battle he also assaulted Aang with lightning and demonstrated great mastery as well as an unorthodox use of firebending for high-speed propulsion and flight.He went toe-to-toe against Aang, who had the four elements at his disposal and also benefited from the comet's firebending-enhancing energies. In his final battle with the Avatar, under the influence of the comet, the former Fire Lord revealed the extent of his firebending powers, creating some of the largest known plumes of fire. It was clearly fueled by anger, hatred, and personal gain.īefore he was crowned Fire Lord, he practiced his bending by attacking a series of dummies, firing relatively potent, yet normal blasts of fire.He later ferociously attacked his son with a two-handed lightning strike, which he performed with great speed and ease with the sun still being at its lowest point after not yet having emerged fully from the eclipse. As a result, Ozai supported the idea of sacrificing new recruits to defeat a powerful Earth Kingdom battalion so he could get closer to controlling Ba Sing Se.Likewise, he decided to use the power of Sozin's Comet to destroy the Earth Kingdom without standing still with the human loss that would mean.Despite that, Ozai did believe that a Fire Lord's duty was to protect his people, though he reasoned that was because they were extensions of his divine will as Fire Lord by attacking them, an opponent attacked him.The ultimate expression of his obsession with control was his aspiration in life to conquer the entire world.įire Lord Ozai was a powerful and skilled firebender it was stated by Zuko that if the Avatar were unable to defeat him, the only other individual capable of doing so would be Iroh, who even expressed uncertainty in being able to defeat his brother in an Agni Kai.His fighting style was extremely liberal and stressed overbearing, infernal force. ![]() When ordered by Azulon to kill Zuko so that he would know the pain of losing a son,Ozai admitted to Zuko that he would have gladly carried out the murder had Ursa not interfered.Eventually, he murdered his own father in order to usurp his brother's birthright and become Fire Lord.Similarly, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his subordinates if that meant he would obtain more power. This behavior was strongly influenced by his obsession with control and in order to achieve total control over the Fire Nation, Ozai was even willing to sacrifice his own family. As such, he possessed little to no empathy and rarely showed any interest in the feelings of others. Iroh noted several times that his brother was "not the understanding type",and that he had never known Ozai to regret, forgive, or change his mind about anything.Believing morality to be a sign of weakness, Ozai found peace and kindness laughable concepts and despised those who followed moral principles. ![]() It was implied that Ozai's deep-seated anger stemmed from a failed relationship with his own father, Fire Lord Azulon, though his indifference, militarism, and cruelty are nearly identical to Azulon's. Ozai was easily angered, domineering, and insatiably power-hungry. The High Sage subsequently crowned the former prince Fire Lord, whereupon those present hailed him as their new ruler and bowed to him. His cremation took place a little later, and while Ozai and his two children were present, the Fire Sages announced Azulon's alleged dying wish that Ozai would be his successor. The next morning, Azulon was found dead in his bed. Shortly thereafter, Ursa made the poison and turned it over to him, and he sneaked into Azulon's room that same night to end his father's life with it. Ursa tried to take Zuko and Azula with her, but Ozai assured her they would be safe in his hands as long as she kept her word, and threatened to hunt them all down should she try taking their children. Ozai agreed to this on the condition that his wife would leave the palace, believing he too might otherwise be poisoned one day. The princess concocted an untraceable color- and odorless poison and turned it over to Ozai to do "whatever ". Knowing that Ozai would do anything, even kill his own son to become Fire Lord, she offered him a plan that would ensure his rise to the throne and spare the life of Zuko. Princess Ursa found this out through her daughter Azula, and pleaded with Ozai to spare Zuko's life. Ozai was crowned Fire Lord after the sudden death of his father, Azulon.
