You are the closest thing to a son that I am ever going to have, and I am so incredibly proud of the man you are becoming before my very eyes. He may as well have been shouting.The Commander relaxes a bit as he continues to sign, but he still leans toward Zuko just a little bit in his eagerness. He jumps at the force of the sign, at the way the Commander seems to double in size as he leaned forward with his shoulders thrown back aggressively, his hairless eyebrows furrowed low over his dark eyes, mouth turned firmly down. So by keeping this consistency, Iroh believes that defeating Azula would be Zuko's passage into manhood is true to his character. Fans will make all the nitpicking over how Iroh secretly helped the Gaang but would blissfully ignore the elephant in the room that Iroh was constantly prioritizing Zuko's potential growth over other people's safety, which is why he's most of the time allowing it as long as it serves Zuko in the long run, especially if that person was Azula. In LotFN book, Iroh outright downplayed Sokka's intelligence and claimed he needs Zuko to stay grounded, because Sokka is such a fool.
I'd like to point that Book 1 Zuko especially kept hurting people repeatedly, you note that Iroh didn't stop Zuko from marching his ship into a populated village where Zuko almost killed a child, Iroh enforced a huge fireball by Zuko's side to stop Aang's escape (the Avatar), Zuko kidnapped and blackmailed Katara in front of him while he did nothing, he stands by while Zuko attacking Suki and set the village she tries to protect in fire, how Iroh was aware Zuko been stealing even things they don't need just because he can't stand the life of a commoner yet his nephew was still his priority more than the amount of people who have their stuff stolen for no good reason. And even when using the fandom's favorite word 'warning signs' since childhood, Iroh claimed he recognized destructive tendencies in Ozai but didn't deny that his brother still has the potential to turn out a decent person if he was guided and didn't suffer from favoritism under the hands of their father.
") Iroh is cool with his father, Firelord Azulon, who organized the Southern Raiders and established concentration camps he remembers the man smiling at him in the LotFN book. You should wait and resume the attack at daybreak. The waterbenders draw their power from the moon, and it is nearly full tonight. As your military consultant, I must advise you to halt your attack. Iroh aided Zhao in his assault against the Northern Water Tribe, he gives him a reasonable advice ("It's almost twilight, Admiral. Iroh worked with the Rough Rhinos, who are mass murderers mercenaries, and was cool with them before and after his 'reformation', he called them "old friends" and even enjoyed their singing (I made a detailed post about this here).
