* AlmostDeadGuy: The wounded warden who tells Zuko about Iroh's GreatEscape.



* LethalLavaLand: The team has to pass a lava cave on their way to the bunker.



* OneManArmy: Iroh is explicitly described as a "one man army" after he escaped from prisoner during the Eclipse, fighting off the entire guard.
* OnSecondThought: During the eclipse the Earthbender army comes across a group of Firebenders and demand their surrender. The firebenders refuse and try to use their powers which fail. They quickly change their mind about surrendering.



* SlouchOfVillainy: Azula on the throne, when the group around Aang enters the hall.
* TacticalWithdrawal: Suggested by Sokka after the eclipse has passed but then [[WhamShot the zeppelins arrive]] and any hopes of this plan succeeding are gone.
* TanksForNothing: The Fire Army tanks are no good against the advancing Earthbender force.



* TotalEclipseOfThePlot: The solar eclipse only lasted about 8 minutes, providing an unusually realistic interpretation, aside from the fact that King Bumi could also see it from way on the other side of the globe. Though, the world of Avatar is significantly smaller than ours, so it is possibly justified.



* ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld: Yes, the two-man balloons that Sokka and the Mechanist piloted make a reappearance. Unfortunately, the Fire Nation didn't stop at those, and have giant dragon-faced bombers crewed by firebenders as well.

to:

* WouldYouLikeToHearHowTheyDied: Ozai stalls Zuko asking if he wanted to know what happened to his mother. The way he delivers this question is reminiscent of somebody bragging about their killings.
* YouAreInCommandNow: Sokka, after his father gets hurt.
* ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld: Yes, the two-man balloons that Sokka and the Mechanist piloted make a reappearance. Unfortunately, the Fire Nation didn't stop at those, and have giant dragon-faced bombers crewed by firebenders as well.well.

* BatmanGambit: Attempted - Ozai calls his son a coward for confronting him while the eclipse deprives them of his powers, and likely he couldn't hope to challenge Zuko at his state, so he gets his attention when he decides to reveal the truth of what happened to his mother, and tell the tale until the eclipse ends. Unfortunately, he tries to kill him with lightning, which Zuko deflects back to him.
