This image is a birds-eye view of the final great firebending duel between Zuko and Azula. It dealt significant fire damage to surrounding areas. The majority of the battle was between Zuko and Azula, but Katara intervened after Zuko was shot by lightning, unable to continue.

The battle was politically significant, as the two challengers were fighting over the right to the position of Fire Lord. Also notable were the attitudes displayed by its combatants.

This final battle demonstrated how recent events had affected the two, because Azula finally lost her sanity and Zuko managed to gain the upper hand because he was calm and focused.
