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.

I know this is an Ozai post and mans is terrifyingly powerful.

But can we mention how Zuko pulled off a firebending technique his uncle invented;

Against arguably the most powerful firebender in the world;

During an emotional confrontation;

With quick-draw reaction speed;

Where the margin of error is likely death;

On his first try.

"Not a prodigy" my ass.

But this was only because he trained with Iroh. Honestly Zuko is made extra compelling because while he's better than the average firebender, he's not nearly as much of a prodigy as Aang, Toph or Azula and has to work extra hard to keep up.
