  • Iroh is my hero, thanks for this man

  • No, I'm not crying... I'm just practising my tear bending is all.

  • :'(

  • iroh is my favorite character in anime, on my second favorite show, played by my favorite voice actor, in an amv by one of my favorite singers, singing my favorite song done by him. its impossible for me to not like this amv

  • Uncle Iroh is a great example that even in a show made primarily for children you can have well developed characters.

  • i think they need to have a series about iroh when he was younger up to when zuko lost his mother. i think it would be the best.

  • @bluu78 can't mako the voice actor for iroh died in 2006 :(

  • You did an amazing job.

  • 9 people must be fire nation

  • Iroh and Johnny were both very wise, and spiritual men. Probably would have made good friends if it were possible lol

  • @Muchtutty ya the best

  • I wish my father is him :(

  • Painfully fitting. Good work.

  • and @ 2:30 you clearly see dat its iroh who is playing with zuko

  • I just got dat at 1:49 Iroh gives to zuko, his son's crown (or i think dats what it is) watch 2:36

  • @Hotdolard514

    Its not Iroh's son's crown its Roku's a royal artifact and Roku got it from his best friend SOZEN

  • pefect. just perfect

  • You did an absolutely fantastic job. I'm in love with this video. Favourited, rated, now commented. Huge congrats to you. The emotions are reflected so well you can cut it. Brilliant. This is a masterpiece in my opinion.

  • Avatar the Last Airbender was ruly the last show on Nick that actually held its ground to plot and personality. Iroh and Katara being my all time favorite. Very nice video, might I suggest one little critique however. The scene where it shows Sozin standing over Roku, that little quip really had nothing to do with Iroh and his past, and to me kind of just made me go "huh? Why is this here?" Everything else though was great. I like Hurt by NIN better but thats just a preference haha. 5/5

  • Its interesting how this series is treated as a story (and a great one at that

    ), and not just as a cartoon on nick. That being said, Iroh is the one character who personifies the series' tend to transcend above just a story and actually put meaning, philosophy, and most importantly emotion into the thrilling tale.(Crosses fingers for prequel as well)

  • @vicpdt can't what is the last air bender without mako, the voice actor for iroh :(

  • Congradulations, you have made the most perfect video in existance. I hope you happy with yourself. x)

  • this is hella gay

  • I like Iroh too.

    But I think people sometimes forget.

    he's a cartoon character.

    Not worth crying over, and definitly not worth feeling bad for.

  • @yologdog It's called 'suspension of disbelief'. You should try it sometimes. You'll enjoy movies and anime 100 times more.

  • @xenniex2 but there was not enough suspension to cause disbelief.

    And I agree shows are more moving when you allow it into your heart...

    ...to an extent though. I refuse to cry over a preteen/youngteen TV show while there may be shows such as Clannad who deserve my tears more.

    That being said I usualy try to reframe from crying at all during movies or shows.

  • @yologdog come cry at me bro

  • @yologdog

    Just because he's a cartoon character doesn't mean you can't feel bad for him or connect with him. That just means the writers of the show did a good job developing a meaningful character.

  • @yologdog for a cartoon character id choose his existence over your's :P - ze rage ze lose.

  • OMG i love this song its perfect!!!

  • What is the episode at 2:12? ^^

  • @1CupXCake1 I believe it's the episode entitled Bitter Work.

  • @thejawajedi87 Yes, thanks ^^

  • @1CupXCake1 the tale of iroh

  • @1CupXCake1 I think it's Tales of Ba Sing Se (sp?)

  • @1CupXCake1 bitter work

  • @theloveme1999 Yeah, i know already :')

  • @1CupXCake1 the first person was right its bitter work

  • @1CupXCake1 its in book 2 chapter 15

  • @1CupXCake1 and its called tales of basinsai or somthing

  • The death of his son changed him forever, a sacrifice for a brighter future that scars Iroh just like how the sacrifice of banishment both mentally and physically scarred Zuko. That is why they both share such a close bond. It is beautiful how well the lyrics "You are someone else, I am still right here" tie in perfectly with the way that Iroh feels he has a second chance with Zuko in redeeming himself.

  • Just for the mental image, I'm 6ft2 220 lbs and thick, young man. I can't last 30 seconds of this song without weeping, and the chorus just shatters me completely.

  • i know idid not just fuckin cry (denial)

  • Very Nice, makes my eyes tear up, just watching it. RIP Lu-Ten

  • This is a beautiful Iroh tribute. I love the juxtaposition you did between the memories of his dead son, Lu Ten, and his more recent relationship with Zuko. Nicely done.

  • I love this song and this video, much respect for it. Only I feel uncomfortable with seeing Iroh with this song. this song to me signifies a disgraced man. To me he was not a disgrace, he was a very wise man. Who embodied honour and wisdom all with light-heartedness. And he never lost faith in Zuko. But still much respect for the AMV it is one of the best I have seen.

  • jeez man. i always lose it when iroh sings about lu tein.

    manly tears. manly fucking tears.

  • ZUKO <3!!!!!!

  • i eefin luv dis 4 real

  • So sad. Zuko and Iroh are my favourite characters by far.

  • God this is going to make me cry.

  • sounds like real iroh voice !

  • ZUKO=HOT=MINE

  • Iroh is(In my opinion) the best character in avatar. He is a very wise and persistent man(jn a good way). He stayed caring about zuko and considered zuko his son. He also was in actuality helping the avatar the whole time he and zuko chased down Aang. He just was an amazing character. My second favorite would have to be Zuko because he showed a struggle and you got to feel for him more than some of the other characters.

  • thanks for choking me up, and i was reading up on this song. Made it worse

    good job

  • Dobre!!!

  • hay waredo u get the vidows ?????

  • Iroh is tied for my favorite characters in the Avatar series. Zuko being the other. Dont get me wrong 99% of the Avatar main characters are beyond interesting. But the inner demons that Zuko and Iroh carried around for all 3 books is just so heavy for the soul. Poor Iroh blaming himself for the death of his son. I sure at one point in his life Iroh was just as cold as Lord Ozai. They touched on how Iroh thought his destiny was to take take Ba Sing Se when in reality is was to take it back!

  • In a flashback, Iroh made a joke about burning down Ba Sing Sei. He laughed at the thought of burning down one of the biggest cities in the world, so it's safe to assume he once was a cruel person.

  • I cry every time I hear that song and every time I see Iroh singing about Mako so I was practically bawling the whole time.

    This video was AMAZING. Great job.

  • I don't actually Iroh is a bad guy because he helped the water tribe north pole to get the moon back and he helped the person that wanted to get money from him.I hate fire lord ozai he hurted airbenders and he was so mean to Zuko. I also think that Zuko is kind of a good guy now! Azula is so bad. The Fire NATION IS JUST SO CRUEL! I just hate most of them. Killing people everyday. If I were in the fire nation I would betray them no matter how big the punishment is. Little soldier boy is great!

  • Iroh was a bad guy, he was just a good-natured one. Fire Lord Sozin wanted to spread the Fire Nation and share its great wonders with the rest of the world. As years went on, firebenders began to feel a sense of superiority and began to take over lands because they felt they had a right to it.

    In book one, Iroh's allegiance was to the Fire Nation, to spreading its ideology and customs. He changed sides when he realized that the Fire Nation had gotten out of control, and even turned against him

  • i keep watching this and everytime i do i cry...... i know how he feels to have a loved one die it is not hard to keep moving on it is like it is your fault that the loved one of yours died and you cant do nothing about it but sing to them to make them peaceful R.I.P Tex and Grama

  • Wow, very well done. Great song, you chose!

    Perfect.. =)

  • i've book marked this video countless times . . . i even learned the song on my guitar and played along( even though i don't quite have johnny cash's voice) . this is one of my top 10 favorites as an amv judge . . . . and iv'e seen hundreds , maybe more. . . . .great job, good luck, an kudos.

  • anyone know who's gonna play iroh in the movie

  • Iroh and Johnny Cash sound almost teh same in this song, making this fit even better

    Well done ^^

  • i love this video so much - what a perfect match of song and amv. well done!

  • I loved the song! This is really great. You should keep making videos if you like to. It's nice to see a more calming video like this.

  • Great video, really liked the end of it. Props for putting this song together with Iroh, I wouldn't have imagined it could fit so well

  • Tales From Bas Sing See episode

  • what episode was this on?

  • wow when i first heard this song on this video i didn't like it too much

    but now after hearing it a couple of times, i think this song is so freaking awesome. It has a lot of emotion and meaning in it and it is probably one of my favorite songs now.

  • This amv is as much Zuko as it is Iroh, and that fits the song perfectly.

  • i like this alot : )

    i hate johnny cash's cover lol but i think it fits the video better than reznor's would :P

    iroh is amazing

  • Seriously, Johnny Cash with this song + Iroh / Mako is simply amazing, nicely done.

  • Comment removed

  • nice vid, though I'm about 90-95% sure it was nine inch nails who covered Cash, not the other way.

  • right, so upon research i found myself to be a moron, sorta like with Jimi's all along the watchtower, I guess cash's just sorta overpowered the original in my mind. maybe cus for cash, this song is all about a lifetime of pain and regrets, sung just before dying, so the emotions are trully palpable. for NIN, it's more about the pain of drugs and suicidal thoughts, still real powerful, but not quite as universally powerful as cash's,IMO.

  • No, NNN did it first, but that should not take away from the awesomeness of this song.

  • Sorry Cash covered NIN but NIN said "that is it no longer their song. since johnys was so much better

  • porr iroh but he is wise and good and every thing thats good

  • Best Iroh video.......ever! I need to show everyone who likes avatar this video! Its so awesome!

  • Great Vid...even better song

  • this is one of my favorite AMV ever great job dude u should make some more im sure they would be great

  • Hey, look at that. It's now in High Quality.

  • Iroh is absolutely my favorite character in the show. I never knew nickelodean could be so deep before they introduced his character.

    He had such a sad past. But he is still such a strong and wise person.

  • @AkatsukiMuffinThief

    Take comfort in that, because nick seems to be getting worse and worse, cranking out all of this....what's the word?....idiotic tv shows. I miss the older days...

  • @AkatsukiMuffinThief He was born to become the firelord but when he's son died it was all over for him.

  • it's amazing how deep characters like iroh are in the show.

  • @wtfasiankid8o8 yeah true , but most children wachting it dont realize it ,, iroh makes the avatar series also very serius (dont know if i spell that right) he is the best character in any serie ever :)

  • @lordeppiothe1 i agree he is the best and he gives the show some life stories and extra meaning hes a very touching character

    RIP Mako

  • Iroh is what every martial artist wishes for- a wise, gentle, and compassionate master who cares for his student as though they were his or her own child. if only we were all so fortunate to have an Iroh in our lives, this world would be a better place.

  • Here's to hoping that the live action movie isn't an epic fail!

  • l0l go so well

  • iroh was so awesome and wise, he was constantly kicked around though, i felt so bad!!! D:

  • lolz you posted this the day befor my birth day!!This is like an early birthday present:DAwesome song choice^-^

  • WOW.

    AMAZING VIDEO

    It made me cry! I was so great!

    WELL DONE!

    :D

  • it is so sad in the prison, when iroh began to cry, because suko lost his way and betrayed him!

  • Great video.

  • uh... very nice video and song!

    iroh is my absolutly favorite :)

  • nice made video nice song for this one, cheers

  • johnny cash's hurt with iroh's story, the two make a combanation that is unbelevibly good, in all iroh's wisdom and exprience yet all his life everyone leaves him behind, all together it makes great viewing brings a tear to my eye

    :')

    p.s. good job with the video..

  • Absolutely phenominal. Everything went perfectly together and this song really shows that darker side of Iroh we never really saw in the show (*crosses fingers for a prequel series*) I'm a huge Iroh fan and you most definitely did him justice. Major kudos

  • Thank you very much! *crosses fingers with you on that prequel*

  • @a4ft8inmidget Actually I'd like to see a series that takes place after I mean yeah Aang beat Ozai but there is always the possibility of another evil coming to the surface plus they kinda left it on a cliffhanger there with Zuko saying he's gonna go find his mother.

  • The song is a perfect match. I was thinking of doing somthing on Iroh. My only disappointment is you thought of this song before me Curses!!! But seriously 5/5

  • Actually, I would really like it if you used this song for Iroh. There are some editing errors in this video and I would really like to see someone do a better job than I did. Thanks so much for your rating and comment.

  • I descided not to do an Iroh video, and descided on Zuko instead. Because yours was so good, mine would have just copyied yours. I may do an Iroh one later when I think of somthing else to use.

  • Comments appreciated? Well i'll say this is very epic and you placed the somber clips well I enjoyed this because Iroh and Johnny Cash are my favorites. 5/5

    like'd the syncing of

    "What have I become"

    and the end where it said

    "I would find a way"

    With Iroh saying

    "If only I could've helped you"

    With the geard saying "look what you've become

  • Thank you very much, I do appreciate it.

  • that was very nice bro, iroh is my favorite characters on the show, that and boomie XD

  • you did the song justice...it's a beautiful, touching video...

  • beautiful song, beautiful video...almost made me weep... iroh is one of my fave avatar characters...

  • this would go greatly with zuko but its a cute video

  • Anybody who knows how to find "Winter spring, summer and fall" ...?

  • havent played wow in a while now.. hmm lets see.. winterspring is through felwood through that cave. and i dont know about summerfall.. but druids are the best.

  • ....:-) that's very cute and I don't know if you're being serious or not but if you are that's even cuter. Sorry friend but I actually think Lythya was refering to a song in avatar that Iroh sings in an episode. "The Waterbending Master" iirc... :-)

  • you mean that song iroh sung in one of the episodes?

  • yes.

  • it's good but you said in your notes its a "johnny cash cover." Uhm, he's the original artist. Nine inch nails came after Cash, so the Nine inch nails version is a "cover." okay.

  • Actually no. Nine Inch Nails wrote this song before Cash sung it. Cash covered "Hurt" when he was well into his old age. Cash may have been around longer than NIN but it was they who wrote and sung "Hurt" first.

  • please don't comment if you don't actually know anything. trent reznor wrote this song.

  • and please don't open your mouth because it offends me :P

  • it's such a shame that an ignoramus such as you is also very arrogant. it does not really present a good image of yourself. you shut up.

  • wow!! very touching :) and somehow... the voice reminds me of him!! :D

  • thnx dude

  • how this song called?

  • Hurt by Johnny Cash

  • avatar one of my top 5 anime ever made of all time

  • The best amv for Avatar i have seen yet with this song. Excellent job!

  • Iroh was the actual heir to the throne as fire lord but his feelings for his son's death gave his brother Ozai the advantage and Ozai told theyre his father Azulon that Iroh was not worthy because of his feelings for Lu Ten

  • sorry Iroh was the actual heir to the throne as fire lord but his feelings for his son's death gave his brother Ozai the advantage and Ozai told their father Azulon that Iroh was not worthy because of his feelings for Lu Ten

  • this is simply beautiful. i love it. iroh is my favourite character in the whole show.

  • Right. He´s the best one, I think.

  • Very cool video!

  • all of your vids are great. ona scale from 1 to 10, i rate you 100.85!

  • it fits good job

  • Awesome tribute. Keep it up man.

  • this is so beautiful

  • that was absolutely beautiful

  • One word: Excellent!!!

  • I don't know why this doesn't have more favourites. I think, other than some minor blips between clips, this is an absolutely gorgeous music video.

  • Thankyou very much. And thankyou to everyone else who commented/voted. I really appreciate it.

  • Great vid, and the song works so well!

  • I cried the first time i saw the tale of Iroh its sooooooooo good i watch it when ever its on:~)

  • kin2naruto is right, but it is still one of the few best I've seen on youtube. Feeling is quite right. *shivers*

  • thanks mate for the comment. I agree now, there are some moments when I wince because the cut was too fast or too slow. Yeah I've made other new ones where I hope I've improved but I don't think I'll be posting on Youtube anymore. Like I said this is my last amv for quite a while.

  • where can one see these new videos then?

  • I haven't posted them.

  • nice video keep i up guys :D

  • lol its just a crtoon u lot gettin obsesed i admit its good bt only a cartoon guys! :D

  • lol! it's ok, I'm not obsessed. I just enjoy making amvs. thanks for your comment btw.

  • This is absolutely amazing. I started crying, as much as I hate to admit it. Wonderful editing, and wonderful song, and about a wonderful person. Love it, love it, love it.

  • Again thank you.

  • thanks for the constructive criticism. i appreciate it. i thought i did ok but sometimes it's good to see it from someone elses view.

  • Good song choice and concept.  Needs a lot of work 'tho. A lot of the zooms and cuts are too fast and you need to rearrange the clips so Iroh is on whenever the song hits an important beat (like at the end of a lyric)
