We know she's more advanced. We've said that ten times in ten different ways... Just because she's more advanced doesn't mean Zuko will lose. It's just she has an advantage Zuko doesn't have.

True well I guess we shall see in the next action packed episode which says that there will be a major battle between Zuko and Azula

I hope Azula wins. I an a BIG BIG BIG fan of Azula.

I think Zuko is a bit more determined to beat his sister than Azula is to beating him. He therefore has an edge with determination to learn more and get better. Azula on the other had has the skill but she is arrogant.

if zuko chills out, concentrates and ignores azulas insults then he could beat her, but i hope he doesn't kill her because that would just make him a completely horrible person and he's not like that, he was honorable when he won the fight against zhao.

Here's two more factors in any future Azula/Zuko confrontation... Point in Azula's favor: if he wields those swords of his, the lightning has somewhere to home in on aka golfer in a thunder storm. Point in Zuko's favor, Iroh's Lil redirection move, somehow I doubt she knows about that one, so it should give Zuko a momentary advantage.

Yeah still even if Zuko was able to perfectly use the attack you cannot just put Azula out of the match after all she is rather quick thinking. So who knows she might then quickly move out of the way because as we have seen on the show Azula is rather fast. Still I think Azula could easily crush Zuko.

Excuse me Shio but forget something : with this technique (Iroh's technique) Zuko may redirect the attack toward Azula. Just with that I think he will be proud (even if she avoids) and then, without any shame or anger, maybe he will be ready to bend electricity, even if it's not blue lightning like her. But after that I think she would be destabilized (well for now it's just an idea ;D)

Thats true but as far as i see it Azula really isn't the type of person that just stays still when something unusual happens. So with that being said I still think that Azula would be able to react quickly enough to avoid Zuko's redirecting.

I see no hope for the Banished Prince

I wanna say you're traitor because you're playing Zuko but I can see you're right (it's hard but it's right) you're just being realistic.

The Price is limited by his own mind. The peak of this season with likely be Zuko get over himself and destroying Azula. Though he lacks in firebending, he is a better fighter (with the swords). We know the it will take alot to beat Zuko and we still don't know how well Azula can take a punch (she is good at fly off ships with a little help. That might be usefull...).

Zuko would win in the end after he settles his past. He has to settle his emotions and come to peace with them. I think they will end up fighting again and Zuko will win and spare Azula.

It would depend on how quick the redirection move happens and how quickly Azula could recognize it. If it happens fast enough, she wouldn't be able to register that her shot is coming back at her, and due to how long she seemingly has to charge her lightning, she might be rooted long enough to get hit in the face with her own attack.

I'm voting for Zuko, but granted, we haven't seen Zuko even use the redirection yet. He might screw up and electrocute himself.

My vote goes to Zuko. Azula's great with firebending and all, but that seems to be about it. And unlike Zuko, she doesn't seem to be continually improving her skills.

Zuko on the other hand, is incredibly skilled in martial arts AND weapons (the dual swords in particular); and is still showing signs of improvement.

So in my opinion, Azula would win if they fought one another right now. HOWEVER, I believe that with time, Zuko will become far stronger and be able to defeat her.

Note: For the last few years, little sister Azula has been treaining with those Twin Sages. She has mastered Firebending and is almost perfect with lightning. She is the greatest non-firelord bender since Roku! Unless Iroh is more powerful, but in a straight fight between Miss Demon and the Dragon of the West I think Azula would become a dragonslayer.

Azula will win because even aang has hard trouble fighting her and zuko can't even beat aang...

My money'd be on Zuko. ('Cause he's an underdog and I could probobly 5-1 my money.)
I like the lightning reflecting idea. Maybe he'll do something like channel the lighting through his duel blade and give her a big ol' lighting slash.

He'll win if he chills out. Zuko's just too cool for school.
...as a side note, couldn't Katara or someone else heal up Zuko's scar?

honestly i think Zuko could win had he not let his anger control him so much.

The only real advantage Azula has is the lightning. Well isnt iroh suppose to be teaching (or was) zuko to control lightning and wat not? Ya he didnt exactly cast it, but just to grasp the concept so it won't become a threat and can easily be re-directed (as iroh did in one of the episodes)

Anger=strength but a loss of accuracy
loss of accuracy=openings in a fight
openings=defeat

anger=defeat basicly tho it can be useful, but that's normally not the case
