I'm sure plenty of people have said this but it's been bothering me for awhile now. I think that the reason Ozai isn't fond of Zuko is because he isn't really biologically related to him. I think that, perhaps, Ursa had an affair with another man, and when Ozai found out, he became distraught and refused to fully accept Zuko. I highly doubt it's true, but it's simply a hunch I've had for a long time. I mean why would a parent banish their child like Ozai did? Does anyone else agree?

It's possible Iroh and ursa had an affair.... but Zuko looks alot like his dad and vice versa.... I think Ozai is Zuko's dad. Ozai probably just always wondered wheter it was his or not.

I can't really see a Nickelodeon show working in an affair. xDD Besides, I don't really see the need for such a plot; it's a little complex and unnecessary. I'll admit, it's a possibility and it's not highly unlikely, but I just don't buy it. This thread belongs in the spec board, so *moves*

You know, I always wondered the exact opposite. Zuko's heritage means that he has an internal conflict between the mindset of Sozin and the mindset of Roku. But Azula doesn't. If you know what I mean...

Perhaps its Azula who's adopted or something then? I'm not sure but it seems that there's a really specific reason Ozai prefers Azula over Zuko...

It could be the reason is just because she's a prodigy and whatnot...perhaps there's nothing more to it. Still, it's quite possible there's still a piece of the puzzle missing. This is the spec board, after all, any theories you have? xDD

That will be a major twist that Mr. Shyamalan could add to the movie. xD
Ozai: Zuko... I am NOT your father.
Zuko: No, that's not true, that's impossible!

Although that's unlikely, that's a good point. I mean, when Iroh announces Zuko's lineage, how'd he know that? Come on, why would he really know that? With Roku's "betrayal", how would information such as that have been given out? If I was Ursa, I would keep Grandpa Roku under wraps. XDD She would have to have given Iroh, someone she obviously trusts, that information. I think the better question at hand is, "Does Ozai really know?"

Now that I think about it...that kind of makes sense. o_0 Whoa...if true, that totally shatters my preconceptions about ATLA. xDD

XDD Exactly. That'd totally change my outlook on Nickelodeon, too. It's really bothering me now, not knowing if Ozai knows about his wife's lineage. To be honest, his knowledge of such could possibly change the outcome of the series, no?
My little brainstorm kinda makes sense, too. I mean, it explains why Iroh has been such a father figure in Zuko's life. I can sooo see the image of a dying Iroh saying something like, "You've always made me proud, my son," or something more or less. XDD Wow.

Different father, I doubt that zuko has. They announce another big twist this close near the end of the show, why would, hmm?

Well, we already know why...*sings*crank dat souja boy, come marching home. xDDD Still, there's not really evidence to prove it either way, other than what the series has explained thus far. So, I'm leaning toward Ozai really being his dad. I gotta say, this is a pretty interesting theory though...

They are look too much alike Zuko and Ozai to not be blood related. Iroh could of slept with Ursa, aronud the time Ozai knocked her up, and Ozai discovered them, and then believed Zuko wasn't his.

I really don't think they'll go there, and frankly, there's no need to. Ozai hates Zuko because he's weak and sentimental. Fire Nation law states that he'll succeed Ozai instead of Azula, who in Ozai's eyes is actually worthy of the throne. Therefore, he did all he could to get rid of Zuko so he could put Azula where he wanted her.
