Quick reminder....this is NOT a 3 part series, just one. lol
At least we got the live action next year!

the ending is promising, she set off to "make them pay" but decided to spare them.
thats at least a realistic step towards redemption.

She said it herself. It came out of her mouth: "You weren't there to protect me from dad." She knows her father is trash she just refuses to accept it because of the Ozai brainwash academy she went through.

Interesting that her ideal idea of Zuko is the boy that was never got harmed before he got banished, before the family was separated.

Also interesting that Ty Lee represents harmony and forgiveness, whereas Mai represents harsh truths and rejection.

22:06-I thought Azula's inner self was a 400ft tall purple platypus bear with pink horns and silver wings.

We all know how Azula’s redemption arc is going to end: With a life changing field trip with Zuko. 😌❤️

Azula does make a small change for the better at the end.

Throughout the comic she keeps on telling herself that she'll make them pay but at the end she decides to not do that and let them be.

Interesting that Azula imagined Zuko without his scar. Perhaps a small part of her does regret what happened to him

That ending was great. Azula's like: "Okay, there's way too much joy and love down there. Screw this."

I love how Azula's story explores a form of redemption, but not the kind that suits her simply because she's too spiritually-troubled.

The spirit built her visions on lies and ignorance, which is the way Ozai raised her childhood. Even though it doesn't seem like it, Azula truly despises the way Ozai treated her. She recognizes that the spirit is treating her the exact same way, but with different intentions. Seeing Azula's visions getting twisted is a great way to depict how her current idea of redemption isn't possible. The people in her past wont just turn around and magically praise her. She has to work towards praise and respect and the ending shows that by showing her demeanor softening a little bit. This doesn't mean that she'll fully become a good person, but it shows she's acknowledging her past and taking steps to understand it.

It's refreshing to actually see a villain reject a "supernaturally given" redemption for once. If Azula ever gets redeemed then I would want it to be on her own terms and without any spirit fuckery. She needs to come to the conclusion of what she wants to do with her life on her own. Others may influence her in that journey and give her some pointers but I absolutely didn't want to see her get turned by some random spirit she just happens to stumble over once.

To those who wanted her to be redeemed in this comic, did you really expect someone like her to be redeemed like that in just one comic, Zuko went through a whole 3 seasons of character growth, since Azula is more messed up it'll would take her much longer to get better mentally

I love that in the end, instead of choosing violence like always, she just let them be, saying that they are too foolish for her leadership anyways, and goes on to continue her own path. The old Azula would not have hesitated to punish those who went against her orders. So in a way, she did develop, even if it's just a little bit.
Even though she hasn't accepted the truth about herself and figure out what she wants for herself just yet, she still continues to walk her own path, and that's what I like about her.

Finally gave us a story that reminds us Azula is just a teenager

I thought this was the perfect beginning to at least some form of redemption for Azula.
Some people may say nothing happened, but she clearly changed, otherwise she would just have attacked the Fire Warriors at the end, showing she's capable of letting things go.
And some people may say Azula doesn't want or need redemption, but in the end, her behaviour is damaging to herself and the people around her, she can't stay as this "perfect villain" without eventually becoming an unstable, mentally broken wreck.

I love how Azula is the only level-headed character in this. I do like that she rejects this whole spiritual redemption and decides her own path. But honestly, I'm just confused by the Monk spirit in this. How does showing Azula hallucinations of an fake reality help her? I mean Azula's been suffering from hallucinations for the longest, so I doubt she would want more of them.

This was an amazing start to her redemption arc, she doesnt get magically redeemed but you see progress at the end and points throughout where shes slowly starting to process stuff

Even though Azula's still just as arrogant and vengeful as she was, she's actually less unstable mentally than before, which makes her a LOT more dangerous.
I'm not sure if she'll get a redemption arc, but for that to happen, she'll need to learn to respect her comrades' wishes, so she doesn't constantly think that they(and others) are betraying her. Considering she sees herself as the rightful heir to the throne, that's going to take a long time, if it's going to happen at all.

We all need more azula comics for sure😢😢

And everyone was worried she would be magically redeemed 😂

Azula is becoming even more humble and more dangerous. I love it.
