Lol! Indeed. The difference being that losing his sight, or his leg are just parts of himself, becoming a waterbender and losing his firebending is more about identity. He is a firebender, a prince. The whole heir to the thrown didn't really get thrown in until after Azulon was dead and his father assumed the thrown. So even that wasn't really him, but being a firebender, it's like someone losing their ethnicity, who they are. I always thought he was an incredibly resilient person after everything that he went through.
