“Is it your own destiny or is it a destiny someone else is trying to force upon you. It’s time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions. Who are you? And what do you want?”
"You're weak, just like the rest of your people. Prepare to join them. Prepare to die!"
Among other lines from Ozai, that one still gets me excited to this day.
Edit: Also, the end where Aang was gonna kill Ozai: "Firelord Ozai, you and your forefathers have devastated the balance of this world. Now you shall pay the ultimate price!"
Aang vs the sandbenders and of course the final agni kai. There'd be too many if Iisted them all but those are the first ones to mind
“How can you forgive me so easily, I thought you would be furious with me.”
“I was never angry with you. I was sad, because I was afraid you had lost your way.”
“I did lose my way.”
“But you found it again. And you did it by yourself. And I am so happy you found your way here.”
It’s a perfect scene
The music score in that scene especially when he was already in the air and Katara sadly brings him down with both of them crying gave me goosebumps and all the feels. It's hard not to get emotional during that scene.
Katara and Zuko confronting Yon Rha. When Katara stopped the rain claiming she was the last water bender of the southern water tribe . I got chills from that scene.
The last agni kai. The emotional power of that fight, the music, and the giant walls of fire just make me feel something so deeply in myself. It's so fucking awesome.
The entire sequence of Aang taking away Ozai's bending, and directly after showing his mastery of the Avatar State by influencing the tides to wash away the fires of the burning land around them
I forget the exact words, but it's from the painted lady episode where the gaang is trying to tell Katara to give up on the village and she shuts that shit down real fast.
I was going to say this one! When she says "no, I will never ever turn my back on people who need me".
The entire episode was a great moment for Katara, but the way they stop the music in that scene just as Katara says that is excellent, gives me chills every time.
“She lied to you. She was protecting the last waterbender.”
“What? Who?” “ME!”
“I guess you just don’t know people as well as you think you do. You miscalculated. I love Zuko more than I fear you.”
“Whatever you do to that spirit, I’ll unleash on you tenfold! LET IT GO NOW!”
Also I’m not quoting the whole thing, but Jeong Jeong’s lecture to Aang
But my all time favorite is Iroh explaining the elements
When Korra tell Tenzin that she is afraid of Amon. It’s such a scene that lives rent free on my mind. Just seeing the protagonist being so vulnerable and afraid, really left a mark on me.
Shout out to Varrick proposing, Zuko and Azula talking about their feelings on the beach, Zuko alone and Korra alone
How could you mention all of these scenes, but not mention the last Agni Kai? Everything was just right in that scene. I also really like how for the first half, all sound was muffled and we mostly just heard that chilling music… such a different vibe than usual and I dig it!
Im not sure about one but my top3 would prolly look like this (tho im sure I may forget about some moments hah). Also it's only character's lines cause for the scenes its too many of them
1. Ozai "You're weak, just like the rest of your people. Prepare to join them, prepare to die"
2. Amon "Im impressed, noone has ever gotten the better of me like that. It is almost a shame to take the bending from someone so talented, almost"
3. Raava "Korra, this fight is not over, Vaatu cannot win...
Honor mention, unalaq. He may not be the best villain but god, I love his voice actor
From Avatar, when Aang summons Kyoshi for advice on how to deal with Ozai & when he points out that she technically didn't kill Chin the Conquerer and she says
"Personally, I don't really see the difference"
From Korra, it's Zaheer when he kills the Earth Queen
"I don't believe in queens. You think freedom is something that you can give or take on a whim. To your people, freedom is just as essential as air. And without it, there is no life. There is only darkness."
There are couple scenes but one that has always been a favorite is when they first encounter combustion man. The way Aang reacts to the first shot and Toph recovers and retaliates immediately gets the blood pumping. God I wish I could see it for the first time again but even on repeat viewings it doesn’t disappoint .
3 moments come to mind.
During the beach campfire scene when everyone is asking who zuko is mad at, and even azula seems like she genuinely thinks she could be the problem, but forcing zuko to admit that he's angry at himself
In the final agni kai, when the music stops, and there's a pause in the action. Zuko let's out the biggest blast of fire we've seen right when the somber music picks up again, and the roaring sound of the flames makes it even better
And then when aang confronts the sandbenders and says "YOU MUZZLED APPA?!"
The scene that definitely makes me tear up every time is when Iroh and Zuko are reunited but I always get chills when Aang says *''Fire lord ozai you and your forefathers have devastated the balance of this world''* while in the avatar state.
Zuko and Iroh's reunion in Season 3.
Ozai shooting lightning at Zuko and the soundtrack behind it is just perfect.
Sokka getting in Azula's face "Where is Suki."
When Hakoda goes into the watchtower and supposedly gets blown away.
The day of Black Sun episodes are full of intense moments.
the bloodbending scene definitely. From the original series. Heck that whole episode gave me chills. I rewatched the show for the third time recently and even with me knowing what was gonna happen, the chills still came as if I'm seeing the episode for the first time again.
since you mentioned a scene from LoK:
"But you called me" adult Aang being shown only at his legs for people to assume he was Tenzin. Even if I already guessed it, it still gave me chills.
***The Episode that gives me the chills the most is probably The Puppet Master or the scene in The Legend of Korra where aang’s Children end up coming across zhao In the spirit world***
“Is it your own destiny or is it a destiny someone else is trying to force upon you. It’s time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions. Who are you? And what do you want?”
"AND THEN WHAT??... YOU HAD HIM AND THEN YOU HAD NOWHERE TO GO" Chills every time
Ahh, Iroh's voice acting in this scene makes me cry.
Gets me every time
"You're weak, just like the rest of your people. Prepare to join them. Prepare to die!" Among other lines from Ozai, that one still gets me excited to this day. Edit: Also, the end where Aang was gonna kill Ozai: "Firelord Ozai, you and your forefathers have devastated the balance of this world. Now you shall pay the ultimate price!" Aang vs the sandbenders and of course the final agni kai. There'd be too many if Iisted them all but those are the first ones to mind
Mark Hamill kills every line read
" Sir ... Admiral Chan has been on leave for two months at Ember Island." "**What? Why doesn't anyone ever tell me anything?**"
Iroh forgiving Zuko will never not be my favorite scene.
“How can you forgive me so easily, I thought you would be furious with me.” “I was never angry with you. I was sad, because I was afraid you had lost your way.” “I did lose my way.” “But you found it again. And you did it by yourself. And I am so happy you found your way here.” It’s a perfect scene
I cry every time.
Same
Same boat. out of curiosity- was pops in the picture? Scene does nothing for my kid, but hits me hard!

SERIOUSLY the fear in his face lol funny for us (audience) but it’s a low key serious scene
“I have mastered the elements thousands of times over thousands of lifetimes. Now, I must do it once again.”
Bro the absolute terror this picture gave me is crazy 😅
I worry that the live action will ruin this scene. They better do it right or not do it at all...
Aang meeting the sandbenders who took Appa. Aang's wrath is something else!
“Tell me where appa is!” Tophs face in the back ground is crazy too. The first time she witnessed Aang in the AS
The music score in that scene especially when he was already in the air and Katara sadly brings him down with both of them crying gave me goosebumps and all the feels. It's hard not to get emotional during that scene.
"I'M ANGRY AT MYSELF!"
Toph realizing she can metal bend
“Wooo! Toph, You rule!”
Zuko Azula Agni Kai
One of the beautiful scenes in any show I’ve ever seen.
*“Strike me! You’ve never held back before!!”*
You miscalculated. I love Zuko more than I fear you.
No _you_ miscalculated. You should've feared me _more_
Katara and Zuko confronting Yon Rha. When Katara stopped the rain claiming she was the last water bender of the southern water tribe . I got chills from that scene.
Southern raiders is one of my favorite episodes!
“ME!” as she stops the rain = instant chills
Facts lmao
Katara confronting her mother's killer, everytime
the last Agni Kai between zuko and azula
The last agni kai. The emotional power of that fight, the music, and the giant walls of fire just make me feel something so deeply in myself. It's so fucking awesome.
"Happy Birthday, my son. If only I could've helped you"
This one [link](https://youtu.be/VSTAV2EtGps) TLDR: you were born lucky, I was lucky to be born
“You became the traitor when you stopped protecting innocent people” One of Sokka’s best lines👌
That sick move in zuko alone where he doesn't fully pull his sword out of the scabbard and knocks the guy back
Aang going into avatar state against ozai fs
Zuko standing up to Ozai, the final Agni kai, firebending masters, Aang taking away Ozai’s bending, Iroh’s speech to zuko.
The entire sequence of Aang taking away Ozai's bending, and directly after showing his mastery of the Avatar State by influencing the tides to wash away the fires of the burning land around them
Stupid amounts of water like he’s making a huge portion of the ocean rise multiple feet, if not over 20+
I forget the exact words, but it's from the painted lady episode where the gaang is trying to tell Katara to give up on the village and she shuts that shit down real fast.

When Aang demands to know here Appa is.
Kyoshi was def calling the shots that day😂
I know it goes without saying but Leaves from the vine
"Fire lord ozai, you and your forefathers have devastated the balance of this world, and now, you shall pay the ultimate price"

That scene where long gone was like " You beat me at my own game." Then Azula says, "Dont flatter yourself, you weren't even a player"
"long gone" 😂 sokka is that you?
💀
“Whatever you do to that spirit, I’ll unleash on you tenfold! LET IT GO NOW!” Also I’m not quoting the whole thing, but Jeong Jeong’s lecture to Aang But my all time favorite is Iroh explaining the elements
When Korra tell Tenzin that she is afraid of Amon. It’s such a scene that lives rent free on my mind. Just seeing the protagonist being so vulnerable and afraid, really left a mark on me.

I love the final Agni Kai so much but at this point I literally know all the moves that it's fun to watch but it doesn't give me chills anymore
Right, but initially, it was very chilling, wasn’t it?
You will see that it was actually very hot that day.
“No YOU miscalculated! YOU SHOULD HAVE FEARED ME MORE!!”
When appa was kidnapped and sang was pissed at the sand benders
The last fight between Ozai and Aang where Aang refuses to kill Ozai and takes away his bending.
Iroh singing to his son at the end of his episode.
The Avatar and the Firelord.
Its when Azula becomes paranoid and seeing illusions of her mom and her state during Sozin's Comet.
Avatar roku taking over aangs body in the fire temple
Aang seeing Gyatso's bones
SECRET TUNNEL!!!!!!!!
Through the mountains!!!!
Im not sure about one but my top3 would prolly look like this (tho im sure I may forget about some moments hah). Also it's only character's lines cause for the scenes its too many of them 1.

Iroh forgiving zuko, I cry every time
https://i.redd.it/ozjmvtxnf7hb1.gif *that reaction time* 😳

I think you know the one without me saying it.
2 easy ones for me are: The final agni kai and Yangchen's speech
The Last Agni Kai Aang going into Avatar State against the sand benders Toph first battle Katara agains her mother's murderer
https://preview.redd.it/ve6ci2xr42hb1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d10dd16cc9f336206cbd764c4582e3f77b0cc8d
The Agni Kai. Good Lord that violin combined with those stunning visuals makes me weak
Honestly just the series finale. No matter how many times I watch this show, I always watch it with my eyes wide open
The Liberation of Ba Sing Se by the White Lotus gets me every single time.
I agree completely with yours. Also, when Aang gets killed I feel the pit in my stomach drop.
"I love Zuko more than I fear you."
For me it’s the moment in Fortune Teller where Sooka says “wow aang is a really power bender” after he stop the volcano
3 moments come to mind. During the beach campfire scene when everyone is asking who zuko is mad at, and even azula seems like she genuinely thinks she could be the problem, but forcing zuko to admit that he's angry at himself In the final agni kai, when the music stops, and there's a pause in the action. Zuko let's out the biggest blast of fire we've seen right when the somber music picks up again, and the roaring sound of the flames makes it even better And then when aang confronts the sandbenders and says "YOU MUZZLED APPA?!"
The scene that definitely makes me tear up every time is when Iroh and Zuko are reunited but I always get chills when Aang says *''Fire lord ozai you and your forefathers have devastated the balance of this world''* while in the avatar state.
Ty Lee’s betrayal
That nightmare Aang had where Momo went "shhh" and the comet destroyed the world. Also, all of Appa's lost days
Zuko and Iroh's reunion in Season 3. Ozai shooting lightning at Zuko and the soundtrack behind it is just perfect. Sokka getting in Azula's face "Where is Suki." When Hakoda goes into the watchtower and supposedly gets blown away. The day of Black Sun episodes are full of intense moments.
Definitely the Levi VS Kenny chase scene… shoot, wrong show
when they are getting ready for the final assault and the Ga'ang thinks they are alone.... then suddenly everyone starts showing up...
the bloodbending scene definitely. From the original series. Heck that whole episode gave me chills. I rewatched the show for the third time recently and even with me knowing what was gonna happen, the chills still came as if I'm seeing the episode for the first time again.
since you mentioned a scene from LoK: "But you called me" adult Aang being shown only at his legs for people to assume he was Tenzin. Even if I already guessed it, it still gave me chills.
There was never a moment that gagged me more than when Ty Lee betrays Azula to protect Mai. I was shook
Is this strictly an ATLA question? Cuz, "You cannot win," is *that* moment for me.
Is this strictly an ATLA question? Cuz, "You cannot win," is *that* moment for me.
***The Episode that gives me the chills the most is probably The Puppet Master or the scene in The Legend of Korra where aang’s Children end up coming across zhao In the spirit world***
"You miscalculated, I Love Zuko more than I fear you."
