Iroh was more than just a mentor, he was the father Zuko needed.

Uncle iroh is like wisdom personified. I would have loved for him to be my uncle/grandfather.

Definitely Iroh. pretty much infinite wisdom and an absolutely amazing sense of humor. Can brew a mean cup of tea too. Zuko is absolutely lucky to have an uncle/honorary father like Iroh, his banishment turned out to be a blessing.

Obvious answer is Iroh. But Jiraiya NEEDS more love.

Uncle Iroh can solo everyone else in the poll with just tea. Specifically, tea made from the Jasmine Dragon

4: Ash. Professor Oak was one of many people to mentor Ash, he was a good beginning teacher, but I don't think he taught anything Ash could've learned from any of the other professors 3: Naruto: As hard as it is to quantify these last three, Jiraya taught Naruto basically all of his signature moves, and became a true friend to him. Still though, not as impactful as these other 2 2: Deku: All Might wasn't just Izuku's mentor, he was practically everything to him. All Might made Deku who he was, and I don't think anyone else could've done that. The training, teaching, and companionship puts him above these last 2. 1: Zuko: Iroh didn't do much in the way of making Zuko a stronger fighter. He definitely helped, but ultimately what Zuko needed was a father, and someone to help him become better as a person, and nobody could've done it as effectively as Iroh.

Uncle Iroh honestly may be one of the best characters ever made.

Honestly, any of these but the first. Iroh was a replacement parent; Jiraiya did more for Naruto than the 3rd Hokage did, and All Might enabled Deku to be able to do anything. What did Oak ever teach Ash?

Professor Oak could barely classify as a mentor, he gave Ash a pokedex and a pikachu and said "Alright, go out into the wilderness to catch your death, Ive got a single mom to talk to."

Zuko and Iroh, Deku And All Might, Naruto And jiraiya, I found it so beautiful how all might went from seeing him as a student in those 10 months to officially becoming his teacher then caring and worrying about him so much it grew into a Father Son bond even after all might lost his power deku still admired him more then anyone and was prepared to do anything he could so all might wouldnt die after he heard Night Eyes Vision
