Talk:Iroh

I just thought of this b/ce when Iroh escapes during Day Of Black Son there are scortch/burn marks on the wall. Could it be possible that Iroh was able to bend? When Haru, his father and the other Earthbenders are capturing the capital there is that guy who tries 2 bend but there is just a little spark. So I thought since Iroh is an expert bender it is possible, let me know what all of you think.

Iroh isn't an Earthbender. Haru and his father are. What are you talking about?65.92.117.56 02:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I think what he/she tried to say is if there is any way Iroh could have used Firebending to escape. I don't think there was. I think that he might have used Firebending to break out of his cell as the eclipse started, but after it kicked in, he just fought his way out. Omnibender 02:49, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, what I ment was that when Haru, his father, and the other earthbenders were at the capital there was a small froup of Firebenders and one of the firebenders tried to bend but there was a small little poof.Avatar Sanders
 * But I thought he used his newly gained strength to bust out Felinoel 04:36, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Until Iroh says/shows how he did it himself, we might never know. I think that the scorch marks might actually be from guards who didn't know about the eclipse, and tried to bend, and when only a few sparks came off, they went "Oh noes!!!". Omnibender 16:34, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Odd, I thought I remembered his prison bars being bent, I will have to rewatch that episode Felinoel 16:37, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps he made his escape moments before the eclipse so that the firebenders would be too distracted during the eclipse to chase him. Maybe he knew that he could take the guards but didnt want Ozai to send troops after him. Zero 05:02, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I still think I remember the bars being bent... Felinoel 00:37, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I wasnt talking about the bars. I was talking about the scorch marks on the prison walls. Zero - Talk 09:02, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

My guess is that he used firebending to weaklen the bars so that he could escape. Then he probobly used firebending a little waiting for the eclipce. Scott ( Lets Chat ) 14:10, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * So he did bend the bars? felinoel ~ (Talk) 16:48, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I think that would require a lot of physical strength, more than the considerable strength Iroh had developed by that point. My guess is that he might have used Firebending to weaken, or possibly break the bars (Azula used fire to cut stone more than once), maybe a bit when the guards came to see what was happening, and then brawling his way out.

 * Cutting stone with fire is one thing, but metal? I don't know... felinoel ~ (Talk) 22:17, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Metal does conduct hear more easily than most materials, maybe the torn parts had a "melted" portion at the ends? Omnibender 23:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I may be wrong, but I was watching the audio commentary for that scene the other day. I think Bryan said Iroh used some kind of kung fu technique, I can't remember the name, but that said technique allowed him to break out or bend the bars. I'll have to watch it again and find some info on that technique that Bryan mentioned. General Iroh 00:08, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Or he could have used lightning to break or weaken them. Like Omni said metal conducts heat easily and expands and weakens if heated so he could have heated it up then broked out while the bard were red hot. The same way that a blacksmith would shape and strenthen a sword. Scott ( Lets Chat ) 00:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah maybe I was watching the commentary of the episode and rememebred they said Iroh bent the bars and just thinking back on it remember the bars being shown bent felinoel ~ (Talk) 01:14, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Profile proposition


Since we're officially changing all the character's profiles to season 3 ones, I'd like to propose this one for Iroh. I realize it's not the jolly old man we're used to seeing, but I think there are some very good Iroh traits that are shown in this picture. The expression on his face is very wise, but it's also gentle. At the same time, it's serious, since he's taking on a leadership role, so it shows the side of him that's a General. Plus, he's in his Order of the White Lotus uniform, which is how we saw him in the finale. I like it. What do people think? Puragus  Talk 04:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I like it too. But we should have a larger variety to choose from. Its always better that way. - Zero - Talk 04:14, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's not what we did with Azula, but if people can find some, sure. Iroh's not very prominent in Season 3 (for an obvious reason. Very sad, but what else would you do? Greg Baldwin never sounded quite right, although he gets an A for effort). Most Iroh closeups I've seen are either from this scene (basically this, except with his mouth open or head turned slightly to the side), or him in prison (which I hate the idea of, because Iroh's in a dark place in those scenes). But, If it can be done, by all means. Puragus  Talk 04:20, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Does it have to be season 3? - Zero - Talk 04:27, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
