It was also set to a fantastic score that made this final encounter feel bitter-sweet. It's the shows most stunning display of fire bending as the two fought on even footing. Zuko, who had fully overcome his father's sway, was able to fight with a level head. Azula, having been named the new Fire Lord by her father, had begun slipping from sanity as her coronation approached and was a raging mess the entire time as her brother once was. We also see the culmination of Ozai's influence over his children. We see two fire benders at their strongest under Sozin's Comet. Ready to seize his destiny as Fire Lord, Zuko only needed to get past one last hurdle, his sister. This duel was contested alongside the number one fight on this list as part of the series' epic four-part finale. It was also a pivotal moment for Zuko who finally regained his honor, only to wonder afterward if he had made the right choice. It was their darkest hour as the group suffered their first loss. If not for Iroh, the show would have ended in Book Two, but the group was able to escape as they watched the world's most impenetrable city finally fall to the Fire Nation. Aang entered the Avatar state when all seemed lost, but as always, Azula was one step ahead and became the only person to kill the Avatar (temporarily). It was an intense two-on-two melee, but Azula's forces arrived and surrounded the heroes. Unfortunately, he chose to seize his long-time goal and fight the Avatar with his sister. Zuko found himself at his biggest crossroads yet, do the right thing and help the Avatar, or reclaim his honor and help his sister take the city. With the gang separated, the Fire Lords' daughter leapt into action and quietly overthrew the government of Ba Sing Se. Just when Team Avatar thought things were working in their favor, Azula comes and pulls the rug out from under them. So used to getting her way, her mental state would gradually unravel when she realized she couldn't control those closest to her anymore. It was a tense situation and one that would have a lasting effect on the fire princess. Ty Lee immobilizing Azula was probably more to keep her friends from killing each other than her choosing one over the other, but it would ultimately cost both of them their freedom. Her reasoning for Azula being, "I love him more than I fear you." Azula had always been a fearsome foe, possibly the most fear indicting in the entire series, but Mei was more than willing to throw down with her former friend. Zuko and Sokka were at death's door above a boiling lake, seconds from being dropped into the scalding waters before Mei turned on her country to save him. Despite having been dumped by Zuko via letter, Mei's love for her friend's brother was still strong. While not much of a fight, this was a tense confrontation and a pivotal turning point for Azula.
