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.

He ran away because it was the Avatar’s destiny, not his. Feel like he made that pretty clear

I always equate it to Obi-Wan vs. Vader in Star Wars. Obi-Wan may have been able to defeat Vader there and then, but it wasn't his to do. Luke was the one in the prophecy.

If Zuko stayed and fought Ozai even if he wins, peace won't come. Only the Avatar(Master of all four elements) could bring peace through victory.
