Dallas James Liu Believes Zuko Would Fall Short Against Iroh
Considering Zuko’s exceptional power and strength coupled with his determination to come victorious, it seems unbelievable that he could be defeated at the hands of anyone. However, the character’s onscreen portrayerDallas James Liustill believes otherwise.
During a recent interview withWIREDwhere the cast of Netflix’sAvatar: The Last Airbenderhad to answer some of Google’s most asked questions about the series, Liu shared his thoughts about the same when asked who would win in a fight between Zuko and Iroh. He said:
“I’m sure Zuko would get walked down by Iroh. [Everyone Laughs] I’m gonna be honest. You see, like, the chains, he’s the dragon of the west. He’s part of some secret society later on.”

Continuing, while Dallas James Liudidacknowledge just how strong Zuko actually is and how bold he could stand in front of his opponents, he stayed put on his decision that he would still fall short in a battle againstPaul Sun-Hyung Lee‘s Iroh.
“Like, even though Zuko progresses as a fire bender throughout the series,” Liu admitted, “he’s just still not strong enough. Unfortunately.”
Well, to figure out if what Dallas James Liu has said is indeed true would be truly exciting if Netflix’s live-action version ofAvatar: The Last Airbenderbrings this very fight into action!

How are Zuko and Iroh Connected inAvatar: The Last Airbender?
This one is for all those who have not seen theAvatar: The Last Airbenderseriesand/or may not know about the relationship between Zuko and Iroh.
In Zuko’s storyline,there is a heartbreaking pointwhen Dallas James Liu’s character unintentionally ends up disrespecting his father by speaking out of turn and refusing to duel with him. This leads to his father Ozai banishing him from the Fire Nation.

It was then that General Iroh stepped into the picture as Zuko’s savior. A retired Fire Nation general as well as a former Crown Prince of the Fire Nation,Iroh was the paternal uncle of Zuko. When Zuko got banished by Ozai, it was Iroh who took his place to become a wise mentor to his nephew.
Just like that,the wise and easy-going spiritual man Irohestablished a relationship much more than that of just an uncle-nephew and a mentor-student with Zuko — perhaps another reason why Dallas James Liu respects him so much that he believes Zuko couldn’t win against him,ever.
