Episode 6: Exchange his friends

In the whirlpool of power and family strife, Zuko stands at the forefront.General Zhao's power struggle is not only a battle with General Zhao, but also a continuation of long-standing problems with his father, Fire King Osei, and his crazy sister, Princess Azula.In this seemingly complicated power struggle, Zuko not only received the support of Princess Azula, but also took this opportunity to obtain additional resources. He became an admiral and was responsible for the entire search for the Avatar An..

However, as Zuko's status rose, his crew did not seem to be unhappy about it.Instead, they were happy with the arrangement and less loyal to Zuko.This change makes people think, what made Zuko's men accept this change so easily?Is it blind loyalty to Zuko, or their desire for power and status?

At the same time, Avatar An was quietly operating in the Fire Nation, and he successfully infiltrated the temple of Avatar Logo.However, his actions were not completely hidden from the monks of Luogu.Fortunately, a sage named Sayu bought him time so that he could communicate with Luo Gu.Luo Gu's humor and wisdom left a deep impression on An, but when An mentioned the face-stealing god Tai Gu, Luo Gu's attitude became serious.It turns out that Luo Gu did not really defeat Swire in his first contest with Swire, but stole Swire's precious thing - a small statue representing Swire's mother.This statue not only symbolizes Taigu's identity, but also his longing for family.Swire was willing to trade the statuette for his friend, but unfortunately, Ann was unable to complete the exchange.

However, An's actions could not completely hide from the Fire Nation's eyes.He was captured by Jun and brought to Ai and Zuko.General Zhao claimed to take An away, but at the critical moment, a mysterious swordsman appeared and rescued An.The swordsman showed amazing fighting prowess as he teamed up with An to fight against General Zhao's men.Eventually, the swordsman's mask is struck by an arrow, revealing him to be Zuko.Zuko takes Ann to safety and the two begin a deep conversation.

Zuko told An that the reason he wanted to rescue An was to return to his hometown and gain his father's approval.However, An believes that Zuko doesn't have to follow his father's instructions exactly, but should be more compassionate.Zuko was angry at this, believing that his father had sacrificed his soldiers in vain, and this practice was intolerable to him.He recalled that he had quarreled with his father, was punished by his father for fighting with him, and was eventually defeated, disfigured, and exiled.Zuko said that he could only return home if he grasped the Avatar, and those soldiers became his crew.

An escorted Zuko back to the small sampan on the ship.When Zuko returned to the ship, he received a hero's welcome.Aihe tells the crew that Zuko sacrificed himself for them.Although he failed to find the Avatar, Zuko at least won the loyalty of his men.Meanwhile, Ann returns to the spirit world and returns the ancient statuette.In return, the spirit freed all those imprisoned, including Sukka and Keitala.However, Anji could never return to them.
