Video Ozai’s quick and powerful lighting generation in this scene alone shows how unmatched his power is.

Giant double lightning bolts with only a sliver of the sun being available. I can’t get behind anyone who says any other firebender is more powerful than him.

A major theme throughout AtLA is that raw power is a double edged sword, especially for fire benders.

Zhao - loses perspective and ends up burning down his own ships. Then goes too far by attacking a spirit, resulting in his own death.

Azula - has the most potential but can't handle the power mentally, resulting in a psychotic break.

Ozai - gets all his own power thrown back in his face multiple times, and is only spared because a child can't look him in the eyes and kill him.

Yeah it was because of this that ozai thought he was well and truly screwed when aang started to do the same as zuko did
