**Iroh** is a major character in *Avatar - The Last Airbender* often working alongside Prince Zuko.

## DuckTales: War for Duckburg

Iroh is first seen at the beginning of Book 1 advising Zuko about hunting down Scrooge and his family. He doesn't wish to disobey the Fire Lord's orders although, he does save Donald's triplet nephews from falling at one point. After that, he is berated via radio call by Ozai. However, Iroh is ordered by Ozai to check for any relatives of Scrooge or Donald to use as leverage against Scrooge. When Della Duck's's profile comes up, Zuko decides to use her. However, on the moon, Iroh warns Zuko about not planning ahead and decide to bring her back home to Earth. At St. Canard, Iroh stands in front of Zhao's firebending squad and admits he saved Della Duck from the moon.

For his punishment, Ozai has a bomb planted near Iroh's heart threatening to detonate it if Zuko betrays the Fire Nation. Thus, Iroh is compelled to continue the hunt for Scrooge and his family lest Ozai detonate the bomb and kill him. At one point, Magica De Spell impersonates Lu Ten to make Iroh think he'll know of a way to get the bomb disarmed. Sometime before Zuko is adopted by Della, Iroh attempts to teach Zuko lightning blasts, but Zuko's rage caused the lightning to explode in his face each time. Instead, Iroh teaches Zuko the ability to redirect lightning, something the uncle had learned from studying waterbenders.

During the first invasion to take back Duckburg, Iroh is operated on by Ludwig Von Drake, Gyro Gearloose, Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera and M'ma Cabrera to try to get the incendiary bomb out of Iroh without detonating it.

### Quotes

> "*After Zuko's outburst in the meeting, my brother became very angry with my nephew. He said Zuko's challenge of the General's plan was an act of complete and utter disrespect. And the only way to solve it was... (Jee: Agni Kai, a fire duel.) Yes. Zuko declared to General Bujing, whom he had insulted that he was not afraid. On that horrific day, it changed for the entire Fire Nation. I sat with Zhao worried about the outcome. When my nephew prepared to fight his opponent, he was surprised to see it was NOT the general. We all learned that by speaking out against General Bujing, it was Fire Lord Ozai, my very brother whom he had disrespected in front of everyone in the meeting. Zuko would have to duel his own father!*"

> "*You never thought things through! That's exactly what happened when you tried to capture Donald at the prison rig! You had him, and then you surrounded and somewhat facing the three duck triplets' weapons! (Zuko: I could've figured something out!) If they decided not to let you go, you would be speared to death! (Zuko: I have my destiny to think about, Uncle...) Is it your OWN destiny, or one that your father wants you to have? (Zuko: Stop it, Uncle! I have to do this!) I'M BEGGING YOU, Prince Zuko! It's time you looked inward, and asked yourself the big questions; Who are you, and what do you want more?*"

> "*My advice to you is this, Della; Try to conceal your identity. Surely Ozai will have troops out looking for you. Don't reveal your identity to Scrooge just yet. Wait until the right moment, when you can embrace the three duck siblings in your arms... And let your emotions fly like clouds.*"
