Man do you ever think about how many places Zuko has broken into? Like

  • The Western Air Temple (twice), which was canonically built so that it could only be reached with airbending
  • (It’s also implied he broke into the other three too)
  • The Northern Water Tribe, whose defenses hadn’t been breeched in 100 years and was also currently under siege
  • Pohuai stronghold, which was on high red alert after capturing the fucking Avatar
  • Avatar Roku’s temple, mostly notable because he broke through a naval blockade to get there (dude wtf)
  • Lake Laogi, the secret underground headquarters of Ba Sing Se’s evil secret police that is also crawling with Earth benders
  • (Ba Sing Se at large doesn’t count since they forged their papers)
  • The Fire Nation capital’s prison, where the main threat to the Fire Lord’s rule (Iroh) was imprisoned for months
  • His own family’s vacation home (this isn’t an achievement I just thought it was funny)
  • A thousand+ year old sacred site dedicated the first firebenders that was also full of booby traps, Indiana Jones style, because why not
  • The Boiling Rock, the highest security prison in the Fire Nation
  • The headquarters of the Southern Raiders, an elite naval force on an island in the middle of nowhere
  • The Fire Nation’s royal palace, which was admittedly mostly empty at the time but still had Azula in it
  • His own family’s vacation home (again) after getting banished (again)
