I find it funny how idiotic Toji fanboys will call Maki a “Toji copy” when Maki was literally created before Toji. It’s literally said by Gege that JJK 0 was created BEFORE JJK, just released after. So if anything Toji was created to parallel Maki. 💀

I’m sorry but I feel like the Maki vs Mai fight is sort of underrated by JJK fans. I saw some people calling it “not that good” or “lame,” when while it may not be as exciting as Itadori/Nobara vs Eso/Kechizu or Megumi’s domain, I love seeing more depth into the Zenin twins and their opposing ideals. How they both went different ways. How both of their actions (mainly Maki’s) affected the other, along with more insight into Mai’s character.

But y’know what I really love about this fight? How the narrative doesn’t frame ANY of them as being in the wrong or more selfish. Unlike a lot of narratives where one is right the other is wrong, neither Maki or Mai are framed as being more selfish or a worse person than the other. Both of them are confused, immature, and traumatized teenagers. Who are in an abusive household that constantly puts them down, is sexist, etc. They have their own ideals, beliefs, and ways of dealing with it. None of them are wrong. None of their opinion is less valid than the other. They’re just confused sisters who deep down do love each other, but just had opposing views and were cursed by their Clan.

And I love how the narrative frames neither as being in right or wrong. They just disagree.

I’ll never understand people who trash Zuko in the finale for using firebending to try and push Aang to train more. They treat Aang like he’s some poor little meow-meow or like an actual 12 year old when he’s quite literally the mf powerful Avatar who can defeat Zuko with EASE. Like he ain’t in danger and is fine lol. It’s just Zuko pushing him, or at least that’s how I saw it-

Look, if Aang can be a pacifist while doing back-breaking moves on his opponents, Aang can take a little tough love from Zuko. Aang actually is the one who ends the fight by blasting Zuko through the roof.

Also, Zuko didn't know that the gaang decided to wait to fight Ozai because nobody told him, and once the gaang do talk to Zuko they understand his actions and agree with him.

It's just people trying to cancel Zuko for something that's resolved within less than half an episode in canon. And mostly, it comes from people who have no defense against some of the things Aang does that are never resolved in canon *cough cough the EIP kiss* or when Azula does...literally everything she did in canon that she was never sorry for.

Zuko Doesn't Like 𝖬𝖺𝗂's Apathy

But I already hear you say, "These lines are from fights. He's angry and says things he normally wouldn't". I would argue that even though he's angry, his anger has to stem from some truth, but okay.

Here he's trying to appeal to 𝖬𝖺𝗂, appreciaying her, and is doing so through the one time she isn't her normal, apathetic self. Clearly he likes her, but he wishes she was someone else.

But you know who does have passion? Who does express herself?

Both Megumi and Itadori have a lot of trauma. Some moments might be worse than the other, and they might deal with it in different ways. However, if Megumi reacts to certain moments different than Itadori that doesn’t make him a bad character or “useless.” They’re both traumatized teenagers who had their bad moments. In fact, if it weren’t for Todo Itadori might’ve given up after Nobara’s death. Just because Megumi may react a certain way in response to trauma it doesn’t make him terribly written or, “useless” as I said.

I don't ship Zutara that much but M*!k0 shippers who call it "colonizer x colonized" actually annoy me so badly 💀they literally undermine Zuko's whole ass arc and growth just bc they dislike Zutara then reduce him to some idiot colonizer as if he never had literally the best growth in the series. His whole arc is about NOT BECOMING a colonizer. How tf are you going to say that just bc you dislike Zutara when his whole arc is about becoming the opposite of a colonizer and even getting full on episodes of him getting Katara's forgiveness. You're literally taking away all of Zuko's growth, suffering, and development. 💀M*!k0 shippers are actually so dumb like why are you even defending that badly written ship lmao

No because fr it actually irritates me when people make him some edgy badboy dumbfuck in headcanons or fanfics due to these reasons ☠️his whole arc was to show he’s NOT that but yet y’all miss that….or the Azula stans who try to downplay his writing to upscale Azula like- what???

I hate when people say(*writers*) when zuko is an emo bad boy. When zuko acts "emo" and "badboy" as they say it's him reacting to his trauma and abuse as a kid(most of time. Zuko is still badass. But badboy no). Is it an excuse? No. But when zuko is acting that way in canon, his obsession with honor, his yelling, his moodiness, his short temper. That is the product of having his empathy literally beaten/burned out of him by his father(and mocked and emotionally abused by Azula). The reason Zuko is doing this whole thing is because he wants to please his father. Become someone he's not. His struggle of who his father wants to be with who he is. It's because of the abuse of his father and his family. As the series goes on you get more and more flashes of the person Zuko was and the person he can become. By the end of the series it's such a great contrast and Zuko is much more happier because he's with the gaang. His family. He got out of that abusive situation he was in and finally became himself. A dorky, empathetic, caring, skilled swords men, a balanced person. Does he still have moments of anger? Yes. But over all Zuko becomes a fully balanced person.

gasp! but if we don't call zuko a bad boy, however will we make sure people don't get any ideas about shipping him with katara?

jokes aside, you're absolutely right and i roll my eyes so hard when people point to bad things zuko did, or his behaviour pre-redemption as indisputable proof of the kind of person he'd be post-redemption. like you said, a lot of zuko's actions and mannerisms before day of black sun is a direct result of the trauma he suffered, and though that doesn't excuse him - and neither does the show allow it to - discounting it entirely is to erase the abuse zuko endured and how that shaped him.

using the first half of book 3 as evidence of zuko being a supposed bad boy irks me in particular because a) the narrative makes it pretty clear that this is zuko as the worst version of himself, the opposite of everything he actually is and could be, and b) he is stuck in an abusive household at the mercy of his abusers, in an actively life-threatening situation.

zuko knows that he is in a situation where he has no real agency, freedom or control. he knows that aang is alive, that azula has turned him into a scapegoat and that his life will be forfeit if his father finds out the truth. that is an incredibly terrifying and stressful situation to be put in and it's worsened by the fact that he can't even admit it - not just because doing so would mean accepting that he gave up everything that actually mattered in the catacombs to gain nothing in return, but also because no one around him will allow him to do so.

his girlfriend can't understand his experiences or his turmoil and doesn't seem to particularly want to, brushing off his anxieties and encouraging him to stay the course. he is manipulated by his father and gaslighted by his sister, aware deep down that he is entirely under their control and that they have a vested interest in keeping him helpless, yet forced to pretend as though nothing is wrong. he is isolated from the one person who could help - his uncle - physically and emotionally, both because visiting iroh puts zuko in danger, and because zuko's choices have created a rift in their relationship.

all of this compounds the psychological stress zuko is experiencing, forcing him into a constant state of fight-or-flight, and this context is vital to understanding many of the decisions he makes and how he behaves in the first half of book 3.

(this is why i don't agree with the take that hiring combustion man is an ooc moment for zuko because even though i think the idea of combustion man himself is stupid - not to mention disrespectful to the hindu origins it's pulling from - it's a fundamentally desperate move, and zuko at this point is more desperate than he's ever been.)

that's why it's unlikely that zuko post-redemption would behave similarly since many of the factors that contributed to his anger, hostility and moodiness would no longer exist! judging zuko's future behaviour based on a time when he was constantly abused, gaslighted and threatened is just not an accurate or fair means of measurement, especially since we know what he's like at his best. the zuko we see with the gaang still has a bit of a short fuse, sure, but he's also sincere, honest, awkward, shy and far happier than he's ever been. because shocker, people tend not to act the same way in healthy, supportive environments as they do in abusive, traumatic ones. who would've thought?

people who make this argument also usually tend to compare zuko to aang, especially to glorify how aang remains cheerful and peaceful despite his trauma, and... no. just no. first of all, the show barely gives a fuck about developing aang's trauma the way it does zuko's so of course it seems to affect him less, and secondly, there's something to be said about how trauma responses like aang's are a lot more palatable and comfortable for audiences than responses like zuko's, or even katara's in the southern raiders.

anger or moodiness, or wanting to punish the people who hurt you, are not inherently wrong ways to react when you've been wronged and traumatized. praising aang for remaining cheerful and forgiving while calling zuko a bad boy for being angry and moody implies a sense of moral superiority that comes with reacting to trauma in the "right" way, which is both inaccurate and insensitive.

zuko will never be aang, and that's fine. he doesn't have to be. he ends the show reclaiming everything his abusers tried to take from him, having found himself and his destiny, in a place of healing that is all his own. that is an incredibly meaningful and powerful narrative, and the last thing zuko deserves is to have all of his complexity and development stripped just to be reduced to the tired trope of a "bad boy" when he was never one in the first place.

It’s literally so icky when mfs sexualize minor characters without aging them up ☠️in my personal opinion I think it’s alright if the character’s personality isn’t reliant on their age and so they age them up. That’s okay. But when grown adults sexualize minors WITHOUT aging them up or mentioning that they’re aged up it’s….
