20 Avatar Mysteries That Need Explaining 

First

Also hi 👋

Can waterbenders bend bones, techincally there is minerals in bones and water so water benders could bone bend , so in total - after more 100 years waterbender will be overpowered

Yes sir it's not Over

Us

great idea.

But I love my fire daddy

@@kadmandu2768 But fire daddy doesn't like water 😔

@@fireskul6613 NO GOD. NO GOD PLS NO. NOO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@@TaMarvio2129 Fire daddy is god, don't resist

That’s actually a pretty good theory. Really explains why cabbage man is always there

and how did he live so long? he was already old in atla but he's alive in lok edit: i know it's his son now, thanks for everyone that told me

but remember in Omashu he wanted them beheaded for destroying his cabbages or something

I think “my cabbages” is a code

@@usedtissuepaper42 but he’s also the one that brought them to king bumi on the first place

"Brave soldier boy comes marching home".

Think we should explore the lead up and events of him loosing Lu Ten then have the ability to see him change into the legend we see in ATLA

@@benjaminbicknell6834 That's kinda included in what I put.

“The Order of the White Lotus”

@@vaderllama Yeah.

Aang chose Appa before they realised he was the Avatar.

@@kyranlidua8678 they knew Aang was the avatar since he was a baby they just didn't tell him til he was older

This idea is the base premise of Twi and La, yes? I think that's why Zhao was able to kill the moon spirit.

What about naga

Toph was stated to have found it for him

Accelerator (Toaru) break the peace and cause havoc in Avatar's world as Vector bending, it's illegal in Avatar-verse so now he became criminal.

I know

Toph would've filled her space with sokka's sword

And then they should find out the meteor was a gift from Yue

I've always wondered what happened when he visited the Spirit World.

Wouldn't be the same though cause they couldn't have Mako to voice act him

@@CJTower. biiiiig facts. But if we like as long as the story is good (like ATLA) I’ll be able to get past it and just enjoy

@@3_Michael_ true but idk it makes me feel sad watching iroh when I know the real iroh is dead

Iroh is the best waifu ngl

he didnt kill the dragon, he said he did publicly although he let it live in return of awesome dragon fire powers, lol

It was probably both

All fire benders can breathe fire. The 'demomstration' was just a distraction. The title 'Dragon' was given for 'killing' the last dragon.

I like to think he got the nickname from the tea, then when he "killed" the dragon it gave a double meaning.

No he's called dragon of the west bc he was the first to brake is ba sing se

it wouldnt be surprising if she was conscious of it, but then the same can be said if she wasnt.

It's probably just a plot hole for making up drama

@@aronhelios1734 Its because she didn't love him :)

@@420Xingso you’re just easily surprised by everything?

It might have to do with the traditional "I-need-a-male-heir" syndrom, that she got neglected by her parents (and especially her father).

She’s always been grumpy.... Her parents forced her to be quite and complicit. Holding up all of those feelings can make people grumpy.

@@galdramann2478 She's the oldest so they most likely placed all responsibilities onto her as she will be the next heir. Her parents wanted her to be quite and complacent as well so there is also a chance they raised her like that so she could be married off.

@@galdramann2478 That’s good reason to explain Mai’s family have no male heir, until she had little brother. I feel pity for Mai because she just wants to be independent, and have fun.

They pretty much explain it in the beach episode

Preeeetty much.

I am also getting recommendations

You watch demon slayer to

@@kimmydayo581 What is Demon slayer?

Yup started watching it again too. Masterpiece.

He didn't intentionally kill any fire nation solider. Hes probably killed dozens of fire nation(and also earth kingdom) troops not even counting the North Pole. You could argue accidents wouldn't violate Aangs rule though and he's not oblivious to this. He seemed most concerned with pre meditating the Fire Lords death as opposed to the Fire Lord dying. And that's the issue with the wasp too, he made the choice to kill it before doing so.

Bruh he overturned multiple Fire Nation vessels by flipping them with a tsunami in the middle of the south pole...

So you didn’t watch the show did you? lol

Imagine him learning firebending from the dragons

I think it should be called the Epic of Iroh.

Not anymore.

We Want It! Kidnap the CEO of Nickelodeon and make sure they won't get to see the light of day unless that happens!

I been watching both since June n I'm still watching them 😂😂😂

Here is what I do .watch avatar the last air bender .then rewatched all of my favorite episodes .Then watch legend of Korra backwards .And watch avatar lifetimes and mystery

@@samanthamendoza8548 I watched both so many times that I did watch A.T.L.A.B the whole season then watched the whole season of L.f.K then I did watch one episode of korra then go to anag back and forth till I fished both

@@samanthamendoza8548 am gonna keep watching it till the new series comes out

same here🥲

I think its a problem since it also made her forget about her children. I think it ould have been cool if some memories would stay

Appa erasure

It's pretty obvious what they mean by that... cmon

r/wooosh (kinda)

*human airbender

And those other sky bisons too

People don’t understand this enough lmao it was hinted that this will happen every generation. But people swear korra “erased the avatars”

@Adrian Todd but it makes sense to have happened. You guys just like tiptoeing around every change that lok made instead of trying to understand and embrace it

@Adrian Todd I think you’re being idealistic. The same fight is gonna happen again eventually and raava needs to be replenished

@Adrian Todd my guy you’re speaking like you wrote the show LOL

Suyins dad might have been revealed in a new comic, he could be a lava bender who went to tophs metal bending academy and he looks exactly like opal (only speculation of course)

Sokka

@Depressed Avatar Caid yup definitely I agree with your theory

I’ve got an inkling that it’s satoru simply because he has similar hair to suyin

There is a thing called lying.

Or that they absorb the flames within it or something

If you making that questions why don't you questions why They have More power with sun and water benders with moon

@@oniricfantasy6687 with water its a spiritual thing and with fire i think the sun makes their chi/chakra stronger

or bc its a anime

@@Kuroun3d its not an anime

Even the surface of the sun is just a few thousand degrees, not "millions"

@@nemou4985 Yes the photosphere is approximately 5800 degrees Kelvin, but the corona which is the outer atmosphere reaches to about 2 million degrees kelvin.

​@@MontyBleikerwhat? Think about it for a second, a ball of ice cannot reach millions of degrees. It would become a cloud of gas long before reaching even 0.01% of that temperature. Considering comets still exist, no, they do not get hot.

​@@Distant_View Okay, I have no idea where you pulled that "millions of degrees" statistic, it would probably reach somewhere between 2000 to 4000 degrees kelvin. Also, I don't know how much physics you can comprehend, but a comet can reach that temperature and still stay intact, because think about it, THEY EXIST. If that blatant fact wasn't enough to tell you that maybe there is a flaw in your logic, then let me explain it to you. A sungrazer passes close to the sun, which causes high temperature on the SURFACE. Which means it doesn't cease to exist, but instead it creates a massive ion tail, and gradually gets smaller. Sozin's comet appears to very large relative to other comet, so, like other large sungrazers, it could survive several passes of it's perigee with the Sun.

But how could they be born . Doesn't apply to other civilizations

@@Krankenwagen571 just how they decided the universe would work

@@stormy4821 I meant after that, if she she survived. Like what was the end result for her character.

feels kinda forced to me to stich all the stories together after the fact. not every LoK character should be connected to an Atla character. makes the world feel smaller IMO

Tbh it kind of make sense like it was said that Mako and Bolin's mother was a firebender and that is probably why Mako has lightning bending

Do you by any chance like kotlc, or is Fitz your actual name?

@@theweebqueen2847 Hadn't heard of KOTLC until now, but Fitz isn't my real name. Fitz Simmons is a reference to Agents Of SHIELD

Yes she did the mother of faces told her that her old life would be erased

@@arriibacon531 i think that was OP's point. The mother of faces can 'just' change your face and leave your memories intact, OR she can change your memories. Ursa chose both, which is imo understandable but still idk how Zuko could forgive her for that so easily. Like - not gonna lie, it'd bother me big time to know my mom chose to forget me.

@@ingusch3783 i know man and also she got a new man and a child

@@SikhoGuwa honestly, I don't think that's a big problem. Their dad was a grade A wet lettuce, so I'd assume any child would be happy to see their mom find a new, better spouse. Little half-siblings can be annoying, but also nothing too dramatic. Just the part about choosing to forget your two other children... like, yikesss Ursa we get ut you didn't like their dad, but that's a bit too much imo.

@@ingusch3783 She had good reason to though. She wanted to forget because Ozai said if she ever returned or contacted Zuko he’d kill Zuko. She knew it’d be too hard to stay away if she remembered so she chose to forget

It was in ATLA and it was by Toph when Zuko couldn't firebend as he wasn't as angry. They had to go to the original source (The dragons) to learn how to firebend w/o rage.

@@hollowsongs3504 aang also mentions that for the air nomads the flying bisons are the original air benders

@@hollowsongs3504 and in the episode about the love maze

Everyone asking about that but nobody asking why there isn't an original water bending animal. Korra had a polar bear dog as her "animal guide" although it was more like a therapy dog for her bad relationship script. I wonder if earth bending avatars get badger moles as their animal guides

@@enigma5195i thought water has the fish/moon

may he R.I.P forever

Rest In Peace bosco

What!? He dead!?

@@STANKONIA24 ofc duhhhh it’s a new generation

@@cloudymuffins7708 Nigga shut up.

If they don't make the iroh spinoff we raid.

@AvatarCaid Son of Akako,Bro Lord Hot,Ash what dose ? Mean

@@amariewheatley2906 YES!

I am scared the show could not live up to our image of Iroh. I rather not have a show then a dissapointing show.

@@simonbolhuis4441 IT WILL TRUST ME I WILL GET THE SPIRT OF IROH TO DIRECT IT ! ALL IN FAVOR OF AN IROH SPIN OF SHIW SAY YES ! YES

Maybe cause it's another life and the new avatar has to deal with new people. And I don't think that their past lives can demonstrate it to them. They can only talk to them and seek advice but their past lives can't move like a bender. And of course, they can't bend cause it's only their spirit, no physical body.

@@maxzinmoon4289 Talk to Roku then, when he help Aang to escape from Fire Nation after they both met.

Maybe each avatar needs to discover energy bending for themselves

Sokka Meteorite Sword ( _tried_ ) bending

Yue sent that meteorite from space for Sokka.

Micah John that’s a great theory I believe it

It’s explained that there was an island with a secret flock of sky bison I think.

There was a small heard hidden for over 100 years

Ya....

The fire sages raised a herd in secret

@@izthistle6196 that would make a lot of sense

I believe you are completely correct

Its a good question, but I think the title ,,dragon of the west" comes from the location of the fire nation in the world of avatar. The fire nation is located in the west -> dragon of the west

@@tydez9931 Yeah, I thought of that too, but still, it is a bit weird

still though, there is a bit of a mystery about what happened to the other people with the title of dragon.

@@tydez9931 i mean just because there's a dragon of the west doesn't mean it needs all the other directions lol, wanna add dragon of the northwest ?:)

@@tydez9931 yup that's true

He actually said "water could only cut through metal at a very high pressure point" The Grand Canyon is not made out of metal

The grand canyon isn't metal

It's funny because this would make Bumi the first air nomad non bender in history at least for most of his life.

There probably were air benders not amongst the monks who didn't adhere to their training. Maybe they were more stringent and kept the more advanced techniques to students in the temples?

Mai Mai. /cries bcs shes a precious precious underrated baby/

Did they?

@@azearaazymoto461 she was forced to be the perfect child. while others might cope with that expectation by overachieving, mai decided to internalise all of it and pretended to care about nothing. it's more of context clues that takes little work

If you don't see anymore flying in the sky I'd say that's proof enough

He was the crown prince.

He was originally gonna be the next fire lord, I’m pretty sure people would trust the next fire lord

he also was a fire bending master, known for being the only one that (without the avatar state) could possibly defeat ozai, his power and his status could get the lie off

@@SKROGY Yeah, probably.

nah, or else they wouldnt have showed katara nearly using the water on zuko. cuz in that moment we want her to. but later on when aang dies, were thankful she didnt use the water on zuko or else aang wouldnt have been saved. the water was very important.

@@MELTEDBUHTTER It had to be more than just the water though. The guru said that Aang had to let go of Katara to master the Avatar state but he leaves his training bc he doesn’t want to. He starts to let his feelings for Katara go as he enters the Avatar State in the fight in Book 2 but is shot by Azulas lightning. After Katara revives him the camera pans to her face just like when she saved him from the iceberg. Azula severed Aangs connection to the Avatar state and took him out. He only regains this during his fight with Ozai. In Book 3, Katara says all she did was use the spirit water but also says she’s not sure exactly what she did. Her connection to Aangs helped him regain consciousness just like at the beginning of Book 1

Bs they literally say it was the spirit water that revived him

This is confirmed as being possible in the Kyoshi novels!

Shit imagine glass bending in legend of korra. Ain’t nobody gonna stand a chance in republic city

The Guru says straight up that the division of the elements is an illusion. A true master wouldn't need Rava to bend all for elements. There is no spoon.

Explain?

​@@danieldomen2057I think he means since air is in fire water and earth airbenders could control them

İf you think about it waterbenders can heat up water which can lead up to fire or at least heat water is everywhere and it can literally boiled and become airlike and if you try to bend steam you are kinda airbending and you can use water to cut through rocks or even lift rocks of sort so even if you cant bend like toph you can do it to some extend same goes for earth they can lava bend meaning they can play with heat as well if you think about it there is too much to explore and i think because water is a flexible element and its everywhere thats why we see the most powerful benders from watert tribe and most evil ones sometimes as well like amon

Look to nature and that will give you your answers

Who doesn’t

Its very much needed

I think he’s a member of the white lotus and the reason he’s always there is is because his task is to keep an eye on the gaang and “my cabbages” is a code. He got the gaang into trouble to with the police is to introduce them to King Bumi. This is why there is a statue of him in republic city outside cabbage corp.

metal bending? maybe?

Probably bend the calcium in a person's body to control their movements?🤷🏾

We do have iron inside of us

Maybe the people on strange addictions chewin on brick

You mean bone bending?

One can hope that some hid 🥲

@Anthony Moffitt Avatar the last Airbender? Nah, Avatar the 56th Airbender

I can get on this since the air benders were nomads meaning they were constantly moving around. I think Sozin only went to the air temples to kill all the benders so theres a very good chance that there were still air benders that lived and went into hiding when they heard the news they were being targeted. Ive heard a theory that Ty Lee is a descendent of air nomads.

@Maggie Rivers idk why but I really like the theory about Ty Lee

Not all were killed outright some escaped, until they fell into fire nation trap's and faded out.

I like to think they are the gods of the avatar world. Because Raava called the air lion turtle "Ancient One" indicating that the lion turtles are older than her. Raava and Vaatu seem to be the oldest spirits because they represent the two primal forces of good and evil. The world of avatar seems to work on the concept of yin and yang: for everything that exists, there needs to be an opposite counterpart. For example: you have the material world, but as an opposite you have the spiritual world. Every object and phenomenon in the physical world has a spiritual counterpart in the spirit world. I believe that the seperation of Raava and Vaatu made the creation of the two worlds and the spirits possible. Because spirits also have a light side and a dark side inside them. But I don't think that Raava and Vaatu created the two worlds, because it is said by Vaatu that he was the one who broke the barrier between the two worlds. Why would he need to break a barrier between the material and spirit world if he and Raava created them? That's why I think that it was the lion turtles who created the two worlds and as a result Raava and Vaatu. Because the avatar duoverse seems to rely on duality, I think that the lion turtles seperated Yin and Yang which created the two worlds. The spiritual world represents Yin (light) because it seems to be a world of balance, harmony, enlightenment and the creatures that live there have eternal life, while the physical world represents Yang (darkness) because it is a world of hardships, creation and destruction, chaos and the creatures that live in there can die (which is proven by the fact that when the Moon and Ocean spirits came to the physical world they became mortal and could die, demonstrated by Zhao who litterally killed the moon spirit. And the avatar is also the physical incarnation of Raava on earth who can die, but reincarnates because Raava's avatar spirit cannot). And by splitting up Yin and Yang, the lion turtles as a result created Raava and Vaatu who are the spiritual representatives of these primal forces. There existence was what made the creation of other forms of life in the duoverse possible. Raava's light was what created the other spirits in the spiritual world and what created the galaxies, planets and life forms in the physical world. While Vaatu's darkness created the dark side of all spirits and what causes organisms in the physical world to die and what causes the destruction of pretty much everything in the physical world, because nothing lasts forever. Because of this the lion turtles were not gods like we know them from mythology who directly created the world we inhabit, but rather primordial gods who represented primal forces that layed the foundation for later, smaller gods (in this case spirits) to create the world as we know it today. This is similar to the creation story of Greek mythology where you have three generations of gods: the primordial gods, the Titans and the Olympians. The primordial gods represent the primal forces of the universe that were responsible for its first creation. First there was Chaos (nothingness, emptiness and disorder) who was followed up by Kosmos (order) which started the creation of the universe. From order came Gaia (earth) and her son Uranus (heaven/sky) with whom she had a child named Kronos (time). It was foretold that Uranos would be killed and overthrown by his son Kronos, which indeed happened, and after killing his father Kronos set up the rule of the Titans. The Titans ruled over the universe for some time which was said to be a golden age, in which they again lay the foundation for more creation, but the world was still far from how we know it today. Than at last came the rule of the Olympians after it was prophesised that Kronos would also be overthrown by one of his children. To which he responded by eating all of his children, except Zeus who managed to get away because his mother tricked Kronos in eating a stone instead which he thought was his son. After Zeus had grown up he killed his father and freed his brothers and sisters from Kronos' belly. After this a war broke out between the Titans and the Olympians which the Olympians won. The Olympians than created the world as we know it today and created all the animals and the humans that inhabit it. So in a similar fashion, I think the lion turtles created the two worlds as blank slates and the smaller gods Raava and Vaatu, and later all the other spirits, are what created the world of avatar as we know it. And just like Greek gods I mentioned above, the lion turtles seem to represent the primordial powers of the avatar duoverse (earth, water, fire, air and energy). In this case, I believe that the energy lion turtle (the one Aang met) is the supreme god who split Yin and Yang and the other elements are smaller gods who represented the core elements of the avatar duoverse. Or it could also be that the elemental lion turtles are different representations and aspects of the energy lion turtle, just like how in some versions of Hinduism it is believed that all the gods in the pantheon are actually all just different versions or aspects of one almighty god named Brahman. Or it could also be that they are the energy lion turtle's children. If they are indeed smaller gods and if they are indeed killed off by the humans, this would explain why the more powerful energy lion turtle is still alive. Or maybe, the physical world made the other lion turtles mortal, including the energy lion turtle, just as it made the moon and ocean spirit mortal.

@@silvanvanderhorst7366 Stop calling Vaatu and Raava the spirits of good and evil. Evil is not an opposite of anything. Evil is a perversion of good not an opposite. If anything Raava should represent Order not Goodness. Order is the opposite of Chaos which represents Vaatu. Thinking of Evil as the opposite of good is literal Heresy as stated by many many Popes! And anyway the writers have clearly said in several interviews that the Lion turtles are living beings that were hunted to near extinction b/c of humans, not spirits.

@@72Worker You're seriously applying Christian theology to the Avatar universe?!

@@avishevin1976 It doesn't matter! Saying Good and Evil are natural opposites is an simplification of the matter. The statement still stands that Evil is never the opposite of anything but a Perversion.

@@davidloh3147 digging the appreciation that’s more then a thumbs up.

It's literally a duos dance Iroh would have had to do. It's a little weird.

@@aaronflanary271 the challenge is as thus; fight a fire breathing dragon one on one, Mano e drago. You win your skills surpass an original bender of fire, you lose your dragon chow. This is an all or nothing, live or die, MANS challenge. If someone watched and had the audacity to intervene on his death the defeated has to live in shame that they were not good enough to win but also had to be bailed out as a child by there nanny.

they get theyre power from the sun SPIRIT do they not? like how the water benders get theres from the moon spirit so by that logic could it be that the comet also has its own spirit that powers the fire benders aswell as the sun

Except Korra breaks the cycle and can still bend all four elements and can go into the Avatar state while being unable to access previous Avatars

Bone bending? 🤨 how are bones earth?

I like it but wth is bone bending

@@lewismcdonald2826 the bone matrix have a inorganic component made of hidroxiapatite, so if earth benders can control minerals, as in metal bending were they bend the mineral impurities within the metal, they can have some kind of control over the bones. I don't know if it is canon because I didn't read the comics.

Honestly bloodbending covers bone bending basically, it would cover "taking the breath out of people" if the series wasn't a kid's show.. y'know what i mean..? BlOOd beNDING??)) ok, anyway i feel like blood bending could theoretically change the brain as it controls blood but idk

@@elmaderaso the body’s full of minerals not just the bones so by that logic the whole body could be bent using that argument. Weak sauce

I always thought that they froze the water for a second as it sliced through. 🤔

Either Iroh spirit stuff, or cabbage man

I want an answer to a mystery that is not even in the video. In fact, I have never heard anyone talk about this mystery before.

@@callmeandoru2627 so what is it

@@callmeandoru2627 what is it

@@callmeandoru2627 Don't tell anyone

Actually for fire, the most brutal would be if a fire bender figured out a way channel a lightning technique directly into an opponent’s nervous system like ATLA cruciatus curse in my opinion.

I think it's been implied that they can only bend significant amounts of metal and I don't think there's enough metal in a human body for that kind of control

A earthbender just has to stomp on the ground and a whole under the other person appears and he falls into it and the earthbender closes it immediately and the person is buried alive in a tight dark place with no way out

Except that comets don't enter the Earth's atmosphere and don't emit light or heat. When they get close enough to the sun they begin to melt and emit gas and dust. All this extra material forms the tail and causes it to become much brighter because they have more area to reflect the light from the sun.

*Raava

IT IS I STAR THE NOBLE CABBAGEBENDER PREPARE TO MEET YOUR DOOM PEASANT CABBAGE MERCHANT

i think of it as ravas spirt quickly goes into another body after it leaves the mothers womb and the past avatars are in the spirt world or in a vestige world

@@asimhussain8716 True.

@@asimhussain8716 itsalot more complicated though since ruko in alta was in the spirt world meaning he has his own spirt

@@asimhussain8716 No it's common sense!

If the Avatar soul did transfer in her too??

@@thealienspirit8911 nah he's wrong

I don't know why he ignored the fact that something traveling at a high rate of speed and entering out atmosphere generates heat and energy and eventually catches on fire

Oooh I like that

True

I don't think lightning bending is that rare since there are factories with lightning benders on them in TLOK. Zuko couldn't do it due to his emotional state in ATLA so maybe he is able to do it in TLOK but we may never know.

@@AdroNier Well, maybe, but even in Aang's time there were very few fire benders who could do it and in Kyoshi's time it was a myth. I believe TLOK abuses on rare skills and offers them to everybody, like blood bending, metal bending and lightning bending.

didn't the gaang use a printer to make wanted posters for Appa??

They do have seals and stuff tho
