We talk a lot about Zuko’s significant look when he sees Katara bloodbending, but there’s also an interesting scene right before that one when they get onto the ship where one of the soldiers bursts out of a door to attack them, and Zuko very quickly grabs the guy’s sword and locks him in a cabin, and Katara looks back at him like “dang, I didn’t know you were a ninja.”
This episode focuses a lot on Katara’s skills (and Zuko being in awe of Katara’s skills) but I think it’s worth mentioning that Zuko’s got skills, too, and Katara notices. Particularly considering how unusual it seems to be for a bender to also be competent with weapons.
