for the fans Avatar: The Last AirbenderThe relationships between the characters are central to the series. While the world building and adventure are great too, it’s also interesting to see how these different characters interact with each other. While fans are more interested in romantic relationships, many of the series’ characters have dated each other over the course of three seasons.
One of the main romantic relationships between Zuko and Mai, although they didn’t form the hearts of a couple like Katara and Aang, they ended up together at the end of the episode. However, there are reasons why they don’t get along very well, which is probably why they broke up in the comics, and whether or not they will get back together is still unclear.
They don’t seem to have much in common
While Zuko and Mai seem to care about each other, they don’t seem to have much in common. This is a common problem in TV and movies, as there is often no time to focus on relationships to unravel such details.
We only really see one scene when they go on a picnic together, so it’s generally hard to tell if they have anything in common.
Mai seems to prefer being alone
Although Mai may be good friends with Ty Lee and Azula, for the most part, she seems to be someone who likes to be alone. She seems to get annoyed with people, and while she tells Zuko he’s one of the only people she doesn’t hate, she’d probably be happier not having to worry about her. a romantic relationship.
This relationship isn’t for everyone, so this seems like an attempt to get Zuko to have a lasting love.
they have no personality
In many ways, Zuko and Mai are complete opposites. Zuko is stimulated by his emotions and passions, while Mai is emotionless and has a rather mild reaction to everything.
While this may seem like a balancing act in some ways, it also means they can often annoy each other. As we saw in the episode on the beach, Zuko is tired of her lack of emotion, and she is tired of his drama.
They feel like a high school sweetheart
Zuko and Mai are indeed a lovely couple in some ways. Mai is a kind of emo and Zuko is the stage and emo in his own right. However, they look like a couple who have been together in their youth but not for long.
It’s hard to imagine them being together forever, getting married and having kids, so the creators made the right choice to let them go their separate ways in the comics. There’s still a chance they’ll end up together, but the author has yet to be determined. In fact, there is no convincing evidence as to who Quanmei’s mother is.
Why did Mai and Azula stay together for so long
Although Mai is not as chaotic or evil as Azula, she has long been one of her main friends and confidants. Considering that Mai’s parents are also in high positions in the Fire Nation government, Mai can also believe a lot of propaganda, and she doesn’t care much for others.
However, she also clearly couldn’t stand Azura and some of the things she did, but she obeyed for a long time.
there are others who may be more suitable
Zuko and Mai are not a bad couple. They can provide some balance to each other and they have known each other since childhood.
They shared some cute moments on the show, but they seem to have more chemistry with the others. For example, Zuko might pair better with someone like Katara, while Mai might pair well with someone like Ty Lee.
Why is Zuko so possessive
Given that Zuko and Mai’s relationship was thwarted and stopped when he was exiled, they really weren’t officially together for that long. They met as teenagers, and Zuko had been separated for a long time before that.
So when Zuko was so jealous of the other boys talking to Mai at the party on Ember Island, it seemed a bit pompous and outrageous. This may seem like an overreaction, which suggests they have a jealousy problem.
Why doesn’t Zuko explain why he’d better leave
When Zuko left the Fire Nation to join Team Avatar in season three, he left a letter for Mai. However, he didn’t really explain to her what he was doing and why.
Looks like she deserves a better explanation. At the very least, he could write more letters to her, but he should talk to her directly, even if he doesn’t think she’ll accept it.
Mai never tried to find or help Zuko in exile
While this may not apply in our world, as both Mai and Zuko were underage when Zuko was exiled, it is different in the manga, as minors and adolescents control fate. of the world.
If Mai really cares about Zuko that much, then she seems more worried about him and tries to at least contact him somehow to make sure he’s okay.
Zuko never asked Mai to join him
Fortunately for their relationship, Mai saved Zuko’s life by betraying Azula to let Zuko off the boiling rock. However, the strange thing is that Zuko has never asked her for help before.
Morally, Mai could be darker about her feelings about the war, but, if he truly believed and cared about her, he could have invited her to join him.
