He later used it again against Avatar Aang during the passing of Sozin's Comet, though both times, his target redirected the lightning. Ozai was also able to generate a powerful lightning strike with great speed, a skill he used to his advantage against his son during the invasion of the Fire Nation on the Day of Black Sun. įire Lord Ozai generated lightning in an attempt to attack Zuko. Some time later, Zuko expressed a desire to learn this ability as well, though his emotional turmoil prevented him from properly creating lightning.
By the end of the Hundred Year War, the only firebenders who had demonstrated the ability to generate lightning were Princess Azula, Iroh, and Fire Lord Ozai.Īzula demonstrated the technique while training under the watchful eye of Lo and Li and later when she was fighting her brother, Prince Zuko. It remained an incredibly rare skill, usually reserved for the inner circles of Fire Nation royalty and high-ranking military officers. In the course of the next centuries, the Fire Nation rediscovered the method of lightning generation. However, despite his unique ability, Xu was defeated and killed by Kyoshi when she entered the Avatar State. Xu surprised her by attacking her with lightning, which she was only able to survive due to the chainmail in her dress grounding the lightning. In 296 BG, Xu's surviving followers freed him, but he was challenged to a duel by Avatar Kyoshi. Upon being defeated by Jianzhu, he was imprisoned to be studied by Jianzhu's allies in the Fire Nation so they may learn how he was able to bend lightning. At that time, the last known practitioner of the art was Xu Ping An, the outlaw and insurgent leader of the Yellow Neck uprising, who had used his rare abilities to gather a large army and devastate the Earth Kingdom. By the 4th century BG, most people believed lightning generation to be mere folklore or something lost to history, though Avatar Kyoshi's firebending teacher Rangi stated in 296 BG that there were a few elderly people living in the Fire Nation who had witnessed it. For centuries, the skill of lightning generation was so rare that few even knew that it was possible at all.
