Instead of a Respect Thread... Let's contribute to this thread and hate Ozai for being so horrible. I've gathered some stuff.
Feats
By feats, Ozai is easily the worst person there is in the Avatarverse
Child Abuse
- Tells his son he was "lucky to be born"
- Physically injured his 13 year old son and immediately banished him for a lifetime
- Corrupted his daughter since she was born leading to her mental breakdown and later being happy for what she's become
- Later tried to corrupt his son as well
Racism
- Considers non-benders shamefully lower than benders
- Considers everyone outside the Fire Nation shamefully lower than firebenders and says the Air Nomads were too weak to deserve to exist
Sexism & Domestic Violence
Bloodthirst & Raw Hatred
- Enjoys the destruction of any -insert word that makes normal people happy here- left in the world
Animal Abuse
General Stuff
- Poisoned and killed his own father to get the throne
- Doesn't give a fck about his nephew getting killed, instead likes it cause his brother "is not capable of becoming the firelord now".
Ozai Father, you must have realized as I have, that with Lu Ten gone, Iroh's bloodline has ended. After his son's death, my brother abandoned the siege at Ba Sing Se, and who knows when he will return home. But I am here, Father, and my children are alive. Azulon Say what it is you want! Ozai Father, revoke Iroh's birthright. I am your humble servant, here to serve you and our nation. Use me. - He alsmot killed Aang, even after he spared him
- He almost killed Zuko, even after he spared him
- Was burning down the Earth Kingdom before dinner
- Heavily implied that he trades people for money
Sokka I'm just sayin' it's bad business sense. Think how much the Fire Lord would pay for the Avatar. You guys would be set for life. Pirate captain [To Zuko.] Keep the scroll; we can buy a hundred with the reward we'll get for the kid. [The pirates turn to leave.] Katara What about Aang? Xin Fu [Showing the Fire Nation wanted poster.] I think the Fire Nation will pay a hefty price for the Avatar. Now, get out of my ring. Fire Nation Man appears in an earth tornado. The Gecko jumps down from the ceiling. The Hippo stomps on the ground and crushes a boulder. Headhunter jumps onto the ring from the bleachers. The Gopher pops up from underground.
Accolades / Statements
Apart from direct feats and showings, Ozai has plenty of statements from the main cast to suggest he is a terrible being.
- Sokka
Sokka I always knew the Fire Lord was a bad guy, but his plan is just pure evil. Sokka [Turning to look at Aang.] Of course you are. That's 'cause you gotta fight the Fire Lord, the baddest man on the planet. And you better win or we're all done for. - Aang
Aang No, I agree with you. [Stands up.] Fire Lord Ozai is a horrible person, and the world would probably be better off without him, but there's got to be another way. - Katara
Zuko [Voice-over.] I wanted to speak out against this horrifying plan, but I'm ashamed to say I didn't. [Fade to the present.] My whole life, I struggled to gain my father's love and acceptance, but once I had it, I realized I'd lost myself getting there. I'd forgotten who I was. Katara [Sinks to her knees.] I can't believe this. - Zuko
Zuko Well, that sweet little kid grew up to be a monster, and the worst father in the history of fathers. - Iroh
Iroh [Staring out the window thoughtfully.] It is unbelievable. I have never known my brother to regret anything. Zuko Did you listen to Azula? Father's realized how important family is to him! [Irritated.] He cares about me! Iroh [Turns to face Zuko and holds out arms in gesture.] I care about you! And if Ozai wants you back, well, I think it may not be for the reasons you imagine.
Oh, well, at least he is voiced by Mark Hamill so we might forgive him but anyways. All hait the Oh Awful Firelord!
