Despite being so young, Azula was considered one of the most feared and ruthless members of the Fire Nation Royal family… To match that terrifying reputation, Azula has scorching blue fire that shocks many when they encounter it. But why is this. Why is Azula’s firebending blue? Well hit that sub button if you haven’t already and lets dive into the reasons… Some are absolutely crazy..

**So the first major reason why Azula’s fire is blue is Heat.**
Blue fire is a very real thing in our world, with only the hottest flames turning to blue… Unless of course there happens to be sulfur around. These flames can get as hot at 2500 to 3000 degrees celsius, allowing them to completely decimate anything in its path… Knowing this, it is a pretty safe to assume that Azula bends fire much hotter than anyone around her, including her own father. As we see from the many fights against other benders this blistering hot flame is capable of frightening even the most skilled of benders, and obliterating their defences… This is even further confirmed in the Chase episode where after shooting her flames at the building in the chase for Aang, they start off blue, but after burning for a few seconds, they degrade to red. This is clear and undeniable proof that her flames are much hotter than anyone else’s we’ve seen in the Avatar universe so far. But this leaves us with one major question. Why was Azula’s fire not blue when she was younger. Did it not burn as hot back then?
We see both in the Intro to the series and in her demonstration to Fire Lord Azulon that she produces the standard and traditional orange flame. Not hotter or more powerful than any other firebender. Well that leads us onto the next point.
Azula’s deep hatrend and Anger.
We know that after Fire Lord Sozin’s ascension to the Fire Nation throne, that he planned to rebuild the world, with Firebenders on top. As part of this, the Firebenders lost their spiritual and ancestral connection to their element, forgetting that it can be powered by the sun. Instead they turned inwards, towards anger, hatred and pain to fuel their bending.
With this in mind, we can assume that the level of anger and hatred one holds within themselves is directly related to the strength and heat of their flame. Iroh for example is a deeply calm
