Fortnite is showing us a new side to Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender

Zuko’s story in Avatar: The Last Airbendershowed that honor wasn’t something another person could give you. True honor comes from living a life that feels honest to yourself and your values. In the show, Zuko restores his sense of self by teaming up with Avatar Aang and overthrowing his evil warlord father.

That was great and all, but now he’s in Fortnite,andI can’t escape viral clips and memes showing the angsty teen doing cute little TikTok dances and getting up to stunt-like shenanigans.

Zuko, Katara, and Toph joined the roster of playable characters in Fortnite on April 9. (Aang is there too, but you can only unlock him as part of Avatar: Elements Premium Reward Track.) Instead of doing the good Avatar thing and bringing balance to the lands of Fortnite, the squad descended upon the game to wreak havoc as I imagine a gaggle of Red Bull-infused children might if granted the power to wield the elements. The results have been some of the funniest videos to come out of a Fortnite collab yet. Look below to see a video of Zuko doing a full backflip on a dirt bike as Katara rapid fires a machine gun into the air.

Zuko had one of the most iconic character arcs of modern television on Avatar: The Last Airbender with a deeply moving story. But now players can just get up to shenanigans with him and make him throw his ass back for silly little dances.

Because our boy really goes through it over the course of the series, Zuko has a lot of dramatic character moments with emotional monologues about
