As Ursa stated, Ozai is ultimately just a small man who tries to be big, and possesses no love for anyone, not even himself. He manipulates Zuko to follow his tyrannical ways, and threatens Ursa that he will harm her and her family, though both ultimately fail. It's also implied that Ozai is aware of this fact, which is why he despises Zuko since the latter represents everything, he hates about himself.īy the time of the series finale and the comics, Ozai seems to lose whatever he once had as his former redeeming traits. Ironically, despite despising Zuko, Ozai shares some similarities with him in appearance, personality, and being the unfavorite who was tasked to find the Avatar at a young age. It's implied that those traits stemmed from his insecurity as his father's unfavorite child, having to live in Iroh's shadow for his youth. And even though he appears to treat Azula better than Zuko, that is only because Azula shows more potential similar traits like him, and in truth, he sees both as just nothing but his pawns. In fact, he only married Ursa through an arranged marriage that he and his father, Fire Lord Azulon set up due to her being the descendant of the former Avatar, Roku, and Ozai believes that connecting his bloodline with that of the Avatar would give him powerful children for his own use. Ozai also neglects his own family, never shows any love for his wife Ursa, his children Azula and Zuko, or his older brother, Iroh. He is also a Social Darwinist who believes that kindness and mercy are weaknesses, laughing at them when Zuko stated how much Iroh has taught him those things. To do this, he attempts to use Sozin's Comet to wipe out any remaining forces that opposed him. Ozai's main goal is to conquer all the nations and rule over them under the title of "The Phoenix King". He is a genocidal warlord who wants all power and to rule the entire world. Ozai is bloodthirsty, violent tempered, sadistic, manipulative, domineering, narcissistic, megalomaniacal, and devoid of any form of empathy. I always knew the Fire Lord was a bad guy, but his plan is just pure evil. ~ Ursa confronting Ozai about his true nature.

What I'm saying is this - there is no right or wrong apart from what you decide, who you choose to defend deserves to be defended simply because you chose them.
