So I mentioned elsewhere that the end credits sequences on K-On! (of which there are three over the course of the series) are Hōkago Tea Time music videos. The third one (episodes 14-26 of season 2, plus the second OVA) is for a song called "No, Thank You!" - and at one point in it, Mio is shown doing a slow-motion leap into frame from the right...

... which, by complete coincidence, is exactly the pose I had in mind for Azula in the climactic "the fight in the foreground clears, and Katara sees her just about to dispatch Zhu Qiang" moment of Desolation Angel: Royal Progress. Azula isn't wearing a hoodie over a school uniform in that scene, obviously (although I bet she totally did when she was in high school on New Snowdonia), and Mio's hands aren't on fire, but the pose itself is virtually identical to the mental image I had when I was writing that scene (right down to the slo-mo, though you can't see it here).

That's slightly trippy, given that I wrote that scene months before I saw those credits.
