Line 695:
* [[Eyes of Gold]]
* [[Karma Houdini]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]], rather surprisingly. He doesn't physically suffer for his actions, but he ultimately comes to realize that he crossed the [[Moral Event Horizon]], betrayed his best friend and wasted his life on a wild goose chase to find the next Avatar. At the end of his life, Sozin dies a rather somber man, unable to enjoy his success or attempt to undo the damage he's done. The world let Sozin off, but his conscience didn't.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: His genocide of the Air Nation is highly reminiscent of communist China's genocide of the Tibetans in the 50s; in other words, he is Mao-Tsé-Tung.
* [[Posthumous Character]]: We learned of his backstory through a flashback-like episode, particularly by word-of-mouth from Roku and Zuko's history scrolls. Azula pitched in on the basics of Sozin's impact on the world at the beginning, too.
* [[Predecessor Villain]]
