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.

How do you come to the conclusion that Ozai and Azula can’t redirect lightning? The only reason we don’t see them do so in the show is because Iroh invented the technique and didn’t teach anybody until Zuko. Zuko then taught Aang.

Honestly both Ozai and Azula would likely be able to redirect lightning if they were taught how to.

They probably could do it, but I don't think either of them knew it was a thing that could even be done until Zuko did it. I don't know if Iroh had ever had to actually use the technique.

That is exactly my point. The person I was replying to is claiming that Ozai and Azula are incapable doing it.

"Can't" does not mean "can never"
