What If Iroh Was The Fire Lord Instead?

What If Iroh Was The Fire Lord Instead?

Let’s be honest, we’ve always wanted to know the answer to this question. What if Iroh were the Fire Lord? Frankly, it would have been reality if it had not been for the hands of fate and the meddling of Ozai in taking the birthright meant for his oldler brother. It just seems in the line of Fire Lords that the youngest child is always less honorable and less fair-playing than the older. But let’s rewind the clock and step in and put to rest this question once and for all. What if Ozai did not become the Firelord? What if, instead, it was Iroh?

Iroh once became a stand in Fire Lord and the first thing he did was declare a new hoilday "National Tea Appreciation Day" then took a guards spear and gave him a cup of tea.

[chrisleaf]

In theory, Iroh was basically like Azula before he lost his son Lu Ten. He was the prodigy and the favorite son between him and Ozai who was jealous of him.

After Iroh lost his son he learned empathy, before that he was a hardened war general who would've made sure that the Fire Nation spread across the world.

A great irony of this family is that Ozai disdained his son Zuko because he saw Zuko was himself, the second best in terms of aptitude while Azula was the best - what Ozai wish he was when he was young.

Ozai hated his son Zuko because he hated himself.

Personally, I think that in the wake of Ursa’s death and Ozai’s imprisonment, Iroh would have heard about the plan to kill Zuko. Iroh would have then plead for Zuko’s life and would likely offer to adopt him as his heir.

[Raptor_Ren]

A lot of Azula's personality came from emulating her approving father. Under the care of Iroh she would be a better person by the time Aang emerged than she was in the main timeline. She would likely still be cold and calculating, but avoid more deceitful and fear-based tactics, as those were what got her mom and brother killed and her father imprisoned. She would probably rely more on her raw firebending talent to get what she wants, and maybe even treat her friends better with Iroh teaching her the value of governing with respect instead of fear.

What if Roku Killed Sozin When He Was Trying To Set Up Colonys In The Earth Kingdom

I'm very glad you guys stuck true to who Iroh was before exile. So many people forget he wasn't the peace-loving zen master we know and love while he was a general in the Fire Nation. If he became Fire Lord, his duty to the nation would remain and change who he is as a person. Nice job staying true to that!

[calebdouglas]

Well he technically did become a fire lord when Zuko appointed him as intern Fire Lord in the search for Zuko’s mother.

Man having Zuko and Ursa killed hits harder in this story.

Most people are afraid to truly dive into this type of what if, instead preferring to follow stations of canon.
Major props to you guys for having the guts to write such a drastic change as 13:30 👏

I think a series on a young Iroh, should be explored. It would go up to his failed siege of Ba Sing Se, after his sons passing, and the betrayal of Ozai

[MlAGOTH]

i love this because it also leaves room for azula to become a major antagonist after iroh’s death— especially being an adult. the cycle of war continues.

[shnugle]

Personally I feel Iroh would try and stay by Azula's side similar to how how he did for Zuko in the show since she was all he had left. Really enjoyed this what-if scenario, can't wait to see the next part!

This was amazing amagi definitely need a part 2 asap

You got the Midas touch it’s just Gold everytime

[KNIGHTDUDE]

I think if iroh was firelord the war probably would’ve ended a lot faster because of his leadership in the white lotus but also he is. A good man who knew he has a lot to learn now the war might not have ended immediately but it would definitely been over sooner

[ChaoticCardi]

I hope I’m not the only one that audibly laughed when they threw in the “That’s rough buddy.”

[TMS-Oddbot]

I think this is pretty accurate, all things considered.
I think one of the oddest things are Azulon surviving long enough to do all that after being poisoned. It'd make more sense if something Iroh did was changed, rather than Azulon's death being delayed.
The biggest difference, of course, could be Iroh bearing witness to Ozai's plot and therefore being able to thwart it. He would DEFINITELY ask for Zuko to be kept alive as his heir as well.
Also odd would Iroh not being met with more distrust himself in the aftermath of the Moon Spirit being killed, but I think the events would still play out. It's mainly that everyone would be more apprehensive at taking Iroh's word, especially Sokka.

[Moemoe]

I literally requested this question like 2 weeks I can’t believe you guys did it ❤❤❤ your guys are the best

[axl]

Bold move killing Zuko off. Personally I think it would’ve been more enjoyable if Iroh had Zuko with him while he was Firelord

[JustinUrHead]

Loved this What If! Can't wait for a part 2 and more Avatar content!

[NateIsekai]
