Why IROH Became Fire Lord After Zuko

After the end of the 100 Year war and the final defeat of Fire Lord Sozin, Prince Zuko took his rightful place as ruler of the Fire Nation… But did you know that Iroh actually became Fire Lord after this for a short time? This shocked many in the fire nation and left many questions… So hit that subscribe button if you haven’t already let’s break down how Iroh became firelord for a short time and exactly why it happened!

So the one question that was posed ominously at the end of Avatar The Last Airbender, but never got answered was when Zuko Asked Ozai where his mother was. Well that search continued very shortly after the show came to an end. Zuko gathered his friends and even broke Azula out of the mental hospital and began the search for Ursa… During this time however, he could not rule the Fire Nation. He would not be present in the homeland, and therefore he was forced to appoint an interrim firelord in his place to run the day to day affairs of the kingdom… The obvious choice for this? Uncle Iroh… Iroh was originally supposed to have the throne before Ozai so it was only right that Zuko gave this honor to his loving uncle.

You know you're living in a time of peace when your leader wants you to drink tea and be chill. The real world would be a lot more awesome if more leaders were like Iroh.

Creating tea holiday when you have a tea shop, hmmm. Sounds like corruption to me

[Mediados]

Iroh is the living embodiment of everything a leader should be. Strong, determined and an authoritative presence. But also compassionate, honorable, just and benevolent. And he is also simply a great person to be around.

Zuko comes back a while later
Zuko: What... what happened to the Fire Nation? Everything seems so peaceful and there is now world peace.
Iroh: I gave everyone a cup of tea.
Zuko: Of course you did. Of course.
Iroh: Tea?
Zuko: Please.

Well I didn't know that he became Fire Lord, even if it's temporary. I came back to avatar 1 year back and still got to learn much about it. But I always hoped he'd become fire lord, even if it's for short time. Happy to know that he made it.

Ironically Zuko named his grand son after his uncle

[lordkent]

Honestly, Iroh was such an interesting character that he deserved a whole series to himself. After the avatar last airbender, they should have made an Iroh prequel instead.

Tea Appreciation Day is one of the best holiday

[nadimwallani]

Uncle iroh is awesome I think after his son died he was forced by the tragedy to look at things more objectively (the invasion of ba-sing-sei the fire nation and himself) so when ozai took irou's birthright the throne uncle irou didn't care or try to flight it because he realized what's truly important that's why although he tries to guide zuko on a more positive path he was subtle in how he did so

[pinstripe]

I feel like considering his age when he became fire lord Zuko should have allowed Iroh to become Iroh to become Regent while he learned how to rule in an official sense

[muthias]

National tea appreciation day!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
That is so Uncle Iroh!

[Heraldo_Del_Mar]

It was really interesting to see Iroh as interim Fire Lord given the fact that he was next in line of succession after Azulon.

I'm actually brewing honey orchid leaves in a little ceramic pot and drinking from little ceramic cups while watching this. I just ran out of hot water and could really use some firebending...

[justinmyers]

A holiday for tea is something we all need

[enamweaknopahknop]

Nice to know that Zuko been fighting alongside his great grandfather all this time.

[Philip_Bindi]

Why aren't these animated? I feel fans deserve animations of these comics over any live action

[tylersmith]

Iroh was one my favorite characters in the series 🤩

[yenguyandfriends]

Me: National Tea Day?! Who came up with this?!
Guard: it’s by decree of Firelord Iroh
Me: AAAAH that’s right, Classic Waaaait a minute, FIRELORD?! Since WHEN?!!

[hmk]

Iroh must be an inspiration from Mr. Miyagi. No family of his own, doesn't care about wealth, lives a simple life, balance matters most.

[inspectorbutters]

Iroh was really the only reasonable pick.
He has the education, skill and compassion to be a good ruler, and he can also be trusted to step down once Zuko returns
