Line 4:
After Ozai was defeated and the war ended, Team Avatar and the world's governments set to work restoring balance to the world. Zuko, worried that he might go mad with power like his father, makes Aang promise to kill him should he ever become a threat. One year later, a dispute breaks out over the Fire Nation colonies in the Earth Kingdom, and war may break out yet again. Worse yet, Zuko is taking the colonies' side, making the conflict worse and forcing Aang to accept that he may have to fulfill that promise after all.

* [[Eighties Hair]]: Early preview images showed Zuko sporting a sort of mullet. The ensuing negative fan reaction led to Zuko being redesigned.
Line 49:
* [[Instant Waking Skills]]: Zuko. Both times he gets up, he's alert and looking for another assassination attempt.
* [[Interquel]]: Takes place between ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Korra]]''.
* [[Kryptonite Ring]]: Of sorts. Zuko knows that, if he turned evil like his forefathers, Aang would be the only one capable of preventing another world war—bywar -- by killing him. The 'ring' in this case is the promise Zuko extracts from Aang, who normally won't kill ''anyone'', even genocidal child abusers.
* [[Lady Looks Like a Dude]]: Sokka confuses Smellerbee for a 'he'. Katara quickly corrects him.
* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]: Zuko having a [[Heel Face Turn]] and becoming Fire Lord were major plot points during the show's final season. Here, you learn about it in the first couple pages.
Line 58:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Ex-Fire Lord Ozai gets to show here that he's definitely where his daughter got it from.
* [[Moment Killer]]: When Gene Yang said ''The Promise'' would begin '''exactly''' where the TV series left off, [http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luolcnpQy31r27wz9.png this is what he meant.]
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Toph's tallest, fattest student ([[Word of God|named Ho-Tun]]) is constantly worried about everything being 'doomed.' [https://web.archive.org/web/20120206050428/http://www.avatarspiritmedia.net/interviews.php?id=24 According to Gene Yang], Ho-Tun was originally worried about ''death''. Nick nixed that as being inappropriate for the comic's younger demographic. That said, when referring to actual threats of death, the direct words are used as often as the euphemisms.
* [[Occupiers Out of Our Country!]]: The motivation of the Freedom Fighters and their fellow protesters.
* [[Opening Narration]]: By Katara, as per usual.
Line 74:
** [[The Un-Reveal]]: ...and Ozai promptly taunts Zuko, answering ''nothing'' about Ursa.
* [[Rival Dojos]]: The Bei Fong Metalbending Academy and Master Kunyo's firebending school stage a duel over the property rights to a training dojo. {{spoiler|The metalbenders win}}.
* [[Saved by Canon]]: Almost all the main characters—savecharacters -- save Mai and Suki, [[The Legend of Korra|whose futures]] are currently unknown—haveunknown -- have to survive long enough so they can have their [[Spin Offspring]] and/or found the United Republic of Nations.
* [[Shoot the Dog]]: Roku advises Aang to do with Zuko what he should have done with Sozin, should it become necessary.
* [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: Yes, It's Kataang.
