At first, fans thought this was a standard Fire Nation hairstyle, but as the series progressed, no one else in the Fire Nation is seen sporting that look.
It didn't really do Zuko's character design any favors, but now the reason why has been fully explained. It was a punishment for losing the Agni Kai against his father, a way to add insult onto injury. Thankfully, Zuko abandoned this hairstyle after his banishment and grew the luscious locks we've all grown to love.
The Fire Nation is a rigid society built on rules and a strict honor code. Hair also plays an important role in this code-based nation where a topknot represents one's social power. A pristine and well-kept topknot represents discipline, respect and personal honor.
As a result, he enters a coma and his hair regrows, so when he wakes up, he looks like a totally different person. He uses his new look to his advantage to sneak under the Fire Nation's radar. However, this covert operation only lasts a handful of episodes before he once again shaves his head, ushering in his return to form and reigniting his desire to continue his Avatar training.
While Aang ditches his hair to become more in-tune with his cultural identity, Zuko does quite the opposite. A stalwart symbol of the Fire Nation's tradition and order, he spends the first season seeking out Aang to eradicate him once and for all, thus regaining his place as the one, true Crown Prince. Fans were shocked to see that he'd managed to slim down, and was no longer the butt of Book 4's most memorable jokes.
Despite remaining the same wise tea-loving pacifist throughout Avatar: The Last Airbender , Iroh's transformation was perhaps one that took fans, and the characters alike, completely off guard.
Whenever nobody was looking, he spent his time building his body into a weapon using a physical exercise routine that would put anyone's quarantine workout to shame. By the time the solar eclipse arrived, he was strong enough to break out of prison all on his own. To this day, one of Avatar 's most shocking scenes revolves around Iroh revealing his chiseled physique, which showed just how willing he was to do whatever it took to play his part in ending the Hundred Year War.
In one of the final episodes of Book 3 entitled "The Ember Island Players", Team Avatar sits through a play that not only catalogs their adventures, but also pokes fun at some of the more absurd aspects of their story. In one scene, Iroh tells Zuko that his hair had gone too far since Zuko's actor pretty much appears in every scene with a different wig. While Zuko's hair never got too crazy, he did go through more hair transformations than any other character in the series.
When Suki was first introduced, she was seen strictly in her Kyoshi Warrior garb. The heavy amount of facial makeup that she wore made her unrecognizable even to Sokka when the gang later ran into her at Full Moon Bay.
Regardless of whatever outfit she chooses to wear, it was nice to see that her lack of makeup and uniform didn't diminish her abilities whatsoever. Despite not having an entire season dedicated to him, Yakone was one of the most notorious villains ever seen in the franchise.
Not only was he a Bloodbender, but he developed the ability to Bloodbend even in broad daylight, without the use of his hands.
