Stars:: Jack DeSena (Sokka); Dee Bradley Baker (Appa, Momo); Grey DeLisle (Princess Azula); Jessie Flower (Toph); Mae Whitman (Katara); Zach Tyler Eisen (Aang); Dante Basco (Prince Zuko)

It is specifically stated in episode 108 Avatar Roku: Winter Solstice Part 2 that Aang had to defeat the Fire Lord before the comet arrived because afterward Ozai would be unstoppable. However in this episode it is stated that the point of defeating the Fire Lord before the comet arrived was to win the war. edit »
During training against the Melon Lord, Suki spin kicks and knocks down one of Toph's stone dummies. As soon as her right foot touches the ground (though she does not land) a gold bangle can be seen on said ankle. edit »
When Ozai tells Azula that his decision is final, the gold lining on his outfit is red. edit »
When Katara and Suki push apart the crowd, Katara's hair is missing from between her hair strips and neck, showing the background instead of hair. edit »
When Sokka first suspects Appa has eaten Aang and Momo (he is facing the screen) his thumbs are blue. edit »

This marks the first time we hear Zuko call Aang by his name. edit »
This episode as part of the two hour movie, Sozin's comet: Final battle pulled in an average of 5.6 million total viewers and achieved the highest Avatar rating ever with kids 6-11 and tweens. edit »
This episode aired along with The Old Masters, Into the Inferno, and Avatar Aang as the TV-Movie/Series Finale: Sozin's Comet: The Final Battle. edit »
This episode was animated by JM Animation. edit »
The plot for this episode, along with the other three parts of the finale, was revealed a few months before the episode aired in a children's book called Sozin's Comet: The Final Battle. edit »

Toph: ... And then when I was nine, I ran away again.
Zuko: (nonchalantly) Uh-huh
Toph: I know I shouldn't complain. My parents gave me everything I asked for. But they never gave me the one thing I really wanted: their love. You know what I mean?
Zuko: (sighs) Look, I know you had a rough childhood, but we should really focus on finding Aang. (continues walking)
Toph: (stops) This is the worst fieldtrip ever... edit »
Toph: (Rushes over to Zuko and hugs his arm. Zuko blushes, looking bewildered and confused) I'm going with Zuko!
(The others stare at them silently.)
Toph: What? Everyone els went on a life-changing field-trip with Zuko. Now it's my turn! edit »
Toph:Err... what about me?
Sokka:For now, you're the Melon Lord's forces.
Toph:So I get to chuck flaming rocks at all of you.
Sokka:Whatever makes the training feel more realistic.
Toph(smiling):Sweetness. edit »
Zuko:There's one technique you need to know before facing my Father. How to redirect lightning. (Aang grins with anticipation) If you let the energy in your own body flow,(Zuko traces out a path through his body to the show the path of the energy flow) the lightning will follow it. You turn your opponent's energy against them. edit »
(Aang waking up on the lion turtle)
Aang: I just had the strangest dream. (pause) Wait, where are we? edit »

When Aang suggests the glue bending and stopping the Fire Lord's bending foreshadows to the Spiritbending, with which he actually does remove the Fire Lord's bending. edit »
Azula's proposal for the Fire Lord/Phoenix King to destroy all of the Earth Kingdom's land goes against the idea of Machiavelli's The Prince. According to The Prince, as long as the people who are being ruled have their property and women, they will not rise up and go against their ruler. edit »
When the gang is at the bar, one of the people seen getting beat up looks exactly like Ryu from Street Fighter, which some of the moves in Avatar are based of. edit »
The scene where Ozai was crowned Phoenix King greatly resembled one of Adolf Hitler's Nazi rallies. edit »
In Greek mythology, the phoenix is often associated with fire, in addition to being a symbol of rebirth and divinity. edit »
