In Honor of Mako

[RosaleenWolverine]

On 1:13 It's Funny Cause... Just Press It

[peetaspikefang]

ohgosh. this and the end of momo's tale always make my cry.

[Rikusgirl1]

notice how this song slightly sounds like Leaves From the Vine

[CCTV9]

Iroh..

Powerful yet humble

Strong yet gentle

with a wicked sense of humor!

A man among men

[MrTwister4Life]

iroh was the best character in avatar. by a landslide

[BrandonWenn34]

@MrTwister4Life Best character period...



[alivia777]

I always, always cry.

[RellenMcDee]

@alivia777

I cry, too.

Every time.

[xxxxRINEHARTxxxx]

so sad, seriously...im a guy and i think this is insanely sad

[shadowvowed187]

this was probably one of the greatest and Heart warming shows I have ever seen. also this incredible eisodeo made me cry first watching it in 07 and it still makes me cry in 2011

[Speedybird10]

here's the full version of iroh's tale :)

/watch?v=gbrMateAOP8

[Stellastar60]

what does the inscription read? does anyone know?

[pizzamanchris14]

@Stellastar60 "To General Iroh, see you after we win the war. Your loyal son, Lu Ten" ...

[Gradyolson]

Mako was the original voice of Uncle Iroh untill his death in 2006 Iroh was later voiced by Greg Baldwin for the remainder of the show.

[getwilly1]

was this makos voice?

[speeddemon847]

well, our beloved mako is dead, but hey, on the bright side( pun intended) it's better than being an immortal on top of some mountain, rip mako

[FF7RLZ]

The U2 song kind of sounds like Iroh's song.

[PanzerMold]

Rest in Peace Mako

[rachel0362]

i always cry when he starts singing it too:')

[MissBakaArtist]

I feel really bad that I didn't know that. I mean... I didn't know he was dead. I saw the dedication and I was like "....Mako...? Psh." And it didn't occur to me until now to look him up and I feel so bad that he's been dead for four years now and I didn't know.

[imzedoctor]

@MissBakaArtist I know it makes me feal terrible

[DrKbboy]

@MissBakaArtist 5 years from today. Happy 2012 everyone. Might be lucky enough to meet him if the world actually ends. But I doubt it. Rest in peace Aang and gang, especially Mako/Iroh

[QuaziToons]

@MissBakaArtist I feel the same way. Just Googled him, and I didn't know he was Aku in Samurai Jack or the old Conan the Barbarian. Mako, we miss your work.

[601190567892]

whos mako?

[PSUtotheBCS1]

@601190567892 Mako is the guy who played Iroh but im sure someone already told you by now

[Mralexr04]

@601190567892 the son!!!!!

[RandomBrowser347]

@Mralexr04 You probably know by now but in case you don't, Lu Ten is Iroh's son. Mako was Iroh's voice actor for the first two seasons.

[randomitusEddie]

this always makes me teary when i watch it lol i love avatar soo damn much got them all on dvd and fornicate with the discs on a regular basis ;) XD it's this and the very very end that get me sad but fir different reasons lol

[MrPivitX]

mo people lu ten is irohs son get it right

[shadowzard7]

wait wait wait wait..mako is iroh's voice actor??!?! and he died?? how?? and how could he have voiced acted in that episode and the ones after if he died:????

[randomitusEddie]

@shadowzard7 they got a replacement and according the the director guys the replacement was a huge fan of Mako's and thats why they are so similar XD audio commentary win :)

[iNFernoSoulja]

@randomitusEddie voice actor of iroh is dead? or what i don't get it

[randomitusEddie]

@iNFernoSoulja yeah he is dead series one and two is mako then series three is.....someone who's name i dont know :s twas a shame iroh was epic

[lilaznboi2o6]

r.i.p. Makoto Iwamatsu.. you voiced the best character in the show

[hinno95]

The most sad part of the tale of iroh is actually forgotten. it is when he sais: If only I could have helped you.

[SpineSauce]

@hinno95 agreed

[MultiFacets]

When an offer to read Iroh's fortune was given, he said for a man of his age, there was only one great surprise left, and he preferred that to remain a mystery.

Then Mako died. Cruel, cruel irony. :(

[SkipperRulezCp]

FIVE DISLIKES!??!?!?! IROH WAS THE BEST PART OF THE SHOW! THANK U MAKO FOR PLAYING IROH!!!!!!1 WE MISS U DEARLY!

[PSUtotheBCS]

HOW ARE THE FIVE FAGGOTS WHO DISLIKED THIS VIDEO

HOW BOUT' WE KILL YOU AND TRADE YOU'RE SOUL OUT FOR MAKO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kyntak1]

RIP Makato Iwamatsu the one and only

p.s. i am a man and i believe only real men cry and i balled like a baby when i saw this

[fatsomamacheese]

@Kyntak1 True dat my friend...true dat.

[Kyntak1]

RIP Makoto Iwamatsu the one and only

[RokoLokoful]

RIP Mako

[punkzorr]

i just cried like a baby

[Dagercy]

I admit to crying during this song.Its so sweet.

[UltimateGameHackR]

mako is the voice of Iroh they put in honor of mako because he died =(

[metalsnake27]

you dont mess with mako mother @#$@ers. R.I.P. Mako.

Dont end up like the nostalgia critic did, dont make fun of Mako.

[fatsomamacheese]

@metalsnake27 The nostalgia critic is an annoying douche who doesn't have the talent to do anything but the lowest form of entertainment...critiquing. Well, maybe reality TV is lower...

[RockerWolf100]

what happened to iron's wife?

[newjesusfreak2010]

Mako is really Iroh's actor's name it say In Honor Of Mako Because He passed away in 2006. R.I.P. Mako

[mechaman2]

, ending with a dedication to Iroh's voice actor Mako, who died shortly before the episode aired. If you weren't moved to tears, or at the very least felt something that could be described as sorrow, you have no heart.

[ibelieveihadahat]

The U2 song sounds kinda like "Leaves From the Vine"

[TheTwilightTracker]

uh no Mako is the voice of Iroh. He died before season 3

[kingtut521]

RIP mako

[imenz93]

RIP Mako, RIP Lu Ten

[JustinDanielsChannel]

Rest in peace Mako... it was 4 years to this day that you passed away. You have been an inspiration to us all

[kingelvis19]

sorry i didnt like this as much as the real song on the hill where his son is leaves from the vine sad song :(

[opartsmash]

what did he die

[kingelvis19]

@opartsmash ya he died

[opartsmash]

@kingelvis19 the voice actor of iroh?

[kingelvis19]

@opartsmash ya really sad

[beardigady]

Mako was Iroh's original voice, but died before this episode was played. Thats why in the end it says "In honor of Mako", and in the series Irohs son is not Mako. Its something else.

[IOv3rdos3dI]

in the extras of an episode on avatar the last airbender they said it was the saddest moment in the avatar series but they were wrong the tales of uncle iroh was the saddest in the series by far

[CompleteRandomness22]

wow the song sorta sounds a little like Leaves from the Vines that Iroh sings...

or am i just going crazy...

haha probably...

Mako <333

[Tehlovin]

@CompleteRandomness22 Thats the song we had in mind before watching the video, so it did sound like it at first =P

[bobogolgo13]

Thanks for this. Mako was one of a kind....and this is my fave episode. Still brings tears to my eyes.

"Let me tell you of the days of HIGH adventure", indeed. Rest in piece, sir.

[iShop4Kickz]

Mako is the original voice actor of Iroh in the season 1 and 2 but he died of cancer..

After his death they found a replacement for Iroh name Greg Baldwin for season 3

"The Tale of Iroh." It features a dedication to Mako..

[FiyeroFae4ever]

hey everyone!! thanks for all the views and comments! and to all of you who made comments about who iroh and mako and lu ten really are, thanks!! i get it now... :)

[Curtofthehorde94]

Sorry, but leaves from the vine actually sung by iroh is the perfect fit for this one

[RizuKomesu]

This is... So good. So good. I cried at this and had to search for a clip, but this was amazing. Just amazing. Thank you for making it, the song fit perfectly and the clips were in the right chain of events and just... Thank you.

[darkplaya783]

Mako is the voice actor of general Iroh who died so they made this episode in his honor

[xlefreakcestchic]

fantastic.

[gannystanny]

sad sad :(

[RustyCharmeleon]

Mako is actually Makoto Iwamatsu, he got the name Mako from his career. Seems he was quite a great person. Including Iroh he voice-acted another great character....who wasn't as good but still important.... the evil demon Aku in Samurai Jack.

I didn't know that before looking his name up because of this dedication.

[N0hN4me]

@RustyCharmeleon It was funny when my family heard his voice on TV once and instantly recognized him. My aunts and uncles took art lessons from his dad way back in the day, and they all used to hang out.

[bitchmade97765]

Who sings this song?Is it U2?

[FiyeroFae4ever]

yea it is :)

[faw1993]

So, mako died... :( then, spekor you're saying that pat morita, the guy who was the voice of iroh after mako died too? that's so sad. They were the best at what they did. Iroh is a character that I kinda look up to in avatar.

[conquestvideos]

The voice of IRoh after MAko (Rest in Peace) was Greg Baldwin. But yes, Pat died as well. May both rest in peace.

[kenyenjones]

Mako was an excellent actor who truely brought out to life of the characters he portrayed. The world became a lesser place when he died. Rest in peace....

[spekor]

iroh was one of the 2 best english speaking actors of recent years.. both dead now. the other was pat morita

[VanSensei]

安らかな眠れよ

岩松マコ

1933-2007

[apocalypse2500]

Who is mako?

[nielas2210]

He is the voice of uncle Iroh RIP TO HIM GREAT MANN :((((

[FiyeroFae4ever]

mako is Iroh's son...is that also the name of the actor?? i didn't know that, cool tho :]

[huojun]

Iroh's son is Lu Ten

[dadisfad]

Mako is Iroh's voice actor

Lu Ten is his son

[Ekkaddon]

@FiyeroFae4ever Mako is the actor who voiced Iroh, he died and they did this episode for him. Iroh's son is Lu Ten

[xlefreakcestchic]

@FiyeroFae4ever mako is not iroh's son. lu ten is iroh's son.

[HyrdaRancher]

@FiyeroFae4ever Mako is a voice actor. He was the voice of Iroh until around episode 15 of season 2. He also did the voice of Aku from Samurai Jack. He died of throat cancer during the filming of this filler episode created in his honor. As for Iroh's son, his name in the show is Lu Ten.

[MrTrubshaw]

@FiyeroFae4 mako, the actor for iroh, actually died like 2006 and this was a memorial type deal did.they have another guy doing it greg baldwin who is ... pretty good with minor differences in the voice and i believe the sons name is Lu Ten. still like mako better though :/

[linkman91]

@FiyeroFae4ever Iroh's son is named Lu Ten but the story was in honor of Mako cuz he died of esophagus cancer before he could finish book 2

[Amberli7Raven]

@FiyeroFae4ever Actually, the name of Iroh's Son is Lu Ten. Mako is the voice actor for Iroh in Seasons 1 and 2, but he passed away during the making of season 2.

[FiyeroFae4ever]

just kidding!! i lied. "Mako is actually Makoto Iwamatsu, he got the name Mako from his career. Seems he was quite a great person. Including Iroh he voice-acted another great character....who wasn't as good but still important.... the evil demon Aku in Samurai Jack.

I didn't know that before looking his name up because of this dedication. "

that was from RustyCharmeleon who commented telling me who he really is hahah

[RockerWolf100]

@FiyeroFae4ever makoto hmmmm hey! thats a name from bleach!! :D

i think

[Rhiino11]

@FiyeroFae4ever wasnt Iroh's son named Lu Ten

[ELFEREAL]

@Rhiino11 his real name is mako, in honor of the real boy that died in war

[jareemisthebest]

@FiyeroFae4ever Mako Iwamatsu died of cancer.

[LetsAllBeBestFriends]

@FiyeroFae4ever He died dude.

[momogotei]

@FiyeroFae4ever no, mako is the name of the voice actor of uncle iroh in the first and second books. the name of the son is lutin <---spelled wrong probably

[kingelvis19]

@momogotei you think this is sad?

[wizard473]

@FiyeroFae4ever no irohs sons name is luh ten idk if i spelled it right though and this always makes me cry to

[TheLoverforever101]

@FiyeroFae4ever its lu ten

[Trackspider]

@FiyeroFae4ever Actually i think his sons name is lu ten, not mako.

[xlefreakcestchic]

@apocalypse2500 mako is the voice of iroh, not iroh's son.

[KnockKnock313]

@apocalypse2500

Mako was the name of the voice actor for Iroh. Lu Ten was actually the name of Iroh's son.

[PSUtotheBCS]

@apocalypse2500 Its Iroh

[JacksonSargent]

@apocalypse2500 irohs son he died in the sige of bosingsay

[Donner9028]

@apocalypse2500 Mako also played the wizard Conan teams up with in both Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer.

[stynred]

@Donner9028 yes you are correct

[kishigo2]

Great Job! RIP Mako

[WolfgangS]

Very nice. Thanks ...

(damn tears ...)

[neoxshadow]

I reakon Irohs the best character, he has lots of wise sayings and hes cool to watch lol Great vid :)

[HowlingMonki]

I cry at this episode too, and your tribute to him is very well done. :3

[FiyeroFae4ever]

thanks! :)

[animeboylives]

@HowlingMonki

Iroh's son is Lu Ten... Mako was the person who voiced Iroh.

[HowlingMonki]

@animeboylives Thank you, but I think you were referring to another comment, mine was about how I cried while watching this video. Speaking of Mako, he was one amazing voice actor who still continues to inspire me even after his passing.
