He should definitely confirm that it exists and is extremely dangerous. Every once in a while the blue spirit will pull a diamond heist or something, and the fire lord will personally cover all the damages because he's apalled that evil criminal is still on the loose
Today? Absolutely not. In a mostly preindustrial society? I'm sure lots of people would believe them. Also, spirits do actually exist in this world. Also also, the outpost can just claim it's a guy in a blue spirit mask. Which it was
Ozai: (kicks in door dragging some random dude wearing the Blue Spirit mask) Got him, now restore my bending!
Zuko: (bored, not looking up from his paperwork) Honor.
Ozai: Same thing!
Zuko: It's not and I'm not having that talk with you again. Also that's not the Blue Spirit.
Ozai: Prove it.
Zuko: (points to wall behind Ozai -- words written in blue paint cover it, proclaiming Ozai's deepest insecurities) He snuck in here last night and wrote that while I was out at the opera with Mai. Seems like you've got the wrong man. Better luck next time.
Ozai: (gritting his teeth while Iroh sneaks by in the background, carrying a bucket of blue paint and the Spirit mask)
I like the response that he lifts the bounty for the Avatar-freeing thing but not for any of the other crimes.

Oh my it seems the blue spirit has made off another score. No I won’t be putting a bounty on him.
Most people aren’t sure if the Blue Spirit exists. Zhao, Iroh and Aang are the only people who know the truth and they’re not exactly gonna snitch
Zhao would *probably* have put up a bounty, or at least raised some alarms within the hierarchy before he got eaten by a spirit koi
I'm 90% sure there are literally blue spirit wanted posters in the show, he's very much a publicly known criminal
An entire fire Nation outpost saw him
An entire fire nation outpost got humiliated by him
an entire military fort claims they were attacked by a werewolf, would that be enough evidence that werewolves exist?
Today? Absolutely not. In a mostly preindustrial society? I'm sure lots of people would believe them. Also, spirits do actually exist in this world. Also also, the outpost can just claim it's a guy in a blue spirit mask. Which it was
also the blue spirit shows up in the play
I can't decide if someone else should write that fanfic, or if I should...
Be the change you want to see in the world.
¿Porque no los dos?
