Aang vs Korra 🚨 OFFICIAL Skill Comparison | Avatar: The Last Airbender 

Aang vs Korra "You're just a child!" "Well, you're just a teenager."

Aang has actually used seismic sense twice against ozai and when he was training with toph and katara

I just realised Aang was a prodigy, Toph was a prodigy, azula was a prodigy, Kitara was a prodigy, and saka was a high battle iq prodigy

The other thing to keep in mind for comparison is that Korra (17) not only had 5 years on Aang (12) in age, but she was trained to be the Avatar even earlier than that. Aang learned an insane amount in a matter of months and definitely showed more creativity in bending. Korra’s style was geared more towards combat, aligning with her more aggressive personality. BUT she did learn how to spirit-bend and metal-bend, which you can’t really say for Aang. In a 1 v 1, where they’re the same age, I’d give the advantage to Aang for creativity, composure, and defensive capabilities.

One thing I read that has stayed with me "when Korra goes into the avatar state she's in danger, when Aang goes into the avatar state he IS the danger"

I think Korra has more raw power but Aang is way more nuanced and creative. Hard to compare them. But Aang's Avatar state is way stronger

*It should be noted that aang had 12-13 (112 years old but was 100 years frozen) years of experience while korra at the end of book 4 was already at 21 years old. She had much more time to master the elements while aang had to master 3 elements in the span of 9 months.*

Lets not forget Aang was a fully realized avatar age 12 and korra couldnt even airbend at 18.

Aang is only a pacifist because he was holding back so much power.

Not to mention that Aang had to learn everything in one summer while Korea had years to train. And Aang was 12 💀 Also Azula also did the fire flying thing with her blue fire.

When talking about the seismic sensing, this isn't the only time Aang is seen doing it. Earlier in the season, in "The Runaway" the beginning is of Aang doing blindfolded training, meaning he's relying on his other senses, along with seismic sensing

Master Jeong Jeong also used jet propulsion during Soazin's comet.🤷‍♂️

I think Aang's feat of mastering all elements before adulthood is unmatched.

Aang didn't struggle with firebending did he? He was just scared to use it after hurting Katara. And he just saw fire as a destructive element and didn't care for it much.

0:12 One of my fave things about the lok intro is the fact that everyone else did proper bending while aang did a cartwheel

Didn’t aang create the air scooter? When Korra used the avatar state to win the race, didn’t she just borrow the proficiency from aang? Same with taking people’s bending, which is just energy bending. Aang also had the ability to energy bend. He learned it from that turtle thing, I believe

I would say Aang in Avatar state is the strongest Avatar of all time. Beat Ozai while he had a power up from Sozin's comet, redirected Ozai's lightning while doing it for the first time ever and became the first Avatar ever to learn how to take away the bending of others.

Imagine not giving credit to Aang. He earned his master tattoos the 2nd way possible. He created a unique move, the air scooter. That's his invention

Fun fact. Katara taught Aang waterbending, & she taught Korra bending of HEALING. Where as Toph taught Aang earthbending & she taught Korra the full potential of metalbending

Korra was much older than Aang and had more time to learn the elements. Aang was thrown into war and had to learn very fast, which is why he struggled at times.

I feel like an important difference to mention between Aang and Korra is that Korra was learning how to fight with the elements. Aang, from what I saw, learned about the elements themselves, not how to fight with them. Edit: grammar

One correction. Aang does not need the Avatar state to take or give someones bending. That is a skill he possesses, Korra needs it because when you are in the Avatar state you can access the knowledge of the past lives, in this case Aang's knowledge. She may have learned it later again from the spirit Raava, but with Korra's connection to Aang gone we are no longer sure if she CAN take someones bending away at all.

What I like about Aang is that his bending style is very aesthetic or artistic and not relying on raw strength. I like Korra endurance and stubbornness!

I love everything about Avatar

Firebending came easy to aang the only reason that he struggled to learn it was his mental state was off because he injured katara the first time he did it. after that his fear stopped him from using it and made him see it as destructive force

Aangs story will always be number one for me

The breath of wind scene will forever be my favorite scene ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Korra was given a master and she can master it anytime she wants but aang has to search for a master and learn it under a year While hiding and running away from fire nation

I can remember that I read somewhere that Aang also tasked the White Lotus to guide the next Avatar. Korra was indeed, for lacking of better term, spoiled for her training and its span of years.

Aang was very balanced and spiritual. He was far more skilled and when he needed to be, powerful. Love both of them but Aang would definitely beat Korra one on one

I love the double helix of the portal blast.

4:09 he broke the sound barrier

My assessment: Fire: The power of fire bending comes with breath. Aang is more calculated and utilizes the power to endure for long. Korra is very aggressive, which might help in a short battle but I think Aang can take her. Also, Aang can re-direct lightning. Water: Korra is a solid water bender. I think through her journey in four seasons, she learned how to control her emotions really well. This is evident in her water-bending in the episode 'The Day of the Colossus'. It's her natural element. Aang has done great water-bending but is not that as great as Korra. Earth: Bumi said that 'Neutral position' is important for earth-bending. Someone who waits and listens. Aang has learned the skill from the best and has shown to follow earth-bending in that style. Korra is again aggressive and doesn't really adopt the stronger style. That being said, Korra can metal bend. Hence, I would say that it depends on the place of battle, but Aang would still have some decent advantage with his basics being very strong. Air: This is Aang's natural element. He is creative, he is a master. I really don't need to say anymore. Korra, it seems still shows a more aggressive style of air-bending. I don't have a problem with that but Aang is just too strong in that department. Extra skills: Korra during her journey learned a lot of extra skills like spirit bending, healing, etc. which increases her overall skill set. But on the other hand, basic qualities like creativity during battle, using your animal guide during battle, and connection with the spirits, I believe Aang has mastered well. Hence, in my opinion, if Aang and Korra were to battle it out. Korra would come on strong early in the battle but as the battle progresses, Aang would take the final win. What do you guys think?

I'd say for The next video, comparison between Aang and Kora as characters themselves. Their motives, emotional struggles, coming of age, and hero's journey.

correction on fire flying or propulsion:jeong jeong also did it too not just the firelords.

So y’all know the scene where korra goes into avatar state on the scooter, yea so I read this on Pinterest that she went into avatar state so that aang could race against his grandkids bc he is the past avatar

I think that korra had an unfair advantage sense she had been training her whole life and had all the trainer she needed. Plus Aang only had one year to perfect air then the other three elements while being tracked down by powerful fire benders in a huge war. With only kids to train him. Also he used all four elements at once.

Let's be realistic, Aang was put under pressure to master all 4 elements in less then a year, but Korra got a lot more time, and in Aang didn't get a lot of masters, he spent much time to find them, the abilities Aang used weren't such popular like in Korra's life. And in the Avatar state most and best abillities Korra got from Aang. So... We can firmly say Aang is the best Avatar

There is a very large difference between the avatars. I don't remember where I saw or heard this but I distinctly remember something that summed it up perfectly. Aang is learning how to derive himself from his humanity and become the avatar, yet Korra is learning how to derive herself more from being the avatar and becoming more human. Also, everyone is forgetting that they are both the same person. Same text but in a different font lol.

wait i always had a question and that is can the dark avatar ( aka unalaq and vaatu) start the dark avatar cycle like how avatar wan and reeva did ?

Aang will always come first for me. He had way less time to learn and way less experienced teachers than Korra did. If we had a way to see Aang and Korra as fully formed avatars, that would be a way better comparison.

Aang was actually a natural at fire bending jus took just at least a day or less it just that he hated the way he hurt katara

The og Avater team has answered the question

I had a question in wone if i spell that right in his past there are alot of lion turtle with different bending if the last lion turtle in aangs life has energy bending there should be some energy benders right?

Korra was a prodigy that accepted and practice her avatar powers when she was like 5. Aang never wanted to be the avatar he just wanna be a normal kid but the responsibility falls upon him and he has to respond. That made him more powerful, tbh his avatar state is probably the most powerful out of all the avatars. And Aang's creativity is off the chart which is his biggest asset

We did not see enough of Aang, but still think he was stronger. Kora was always so unsure and almost died like everytime

Taking and giving bending thing (energy bending) which taught to aang by lion turtle its unlocked by avatar aang ,however same avatar soul goes a cycle and they are connected when they are in their avatar state, so once one avatar on the cycle aang open new door it will be open to next avatars when they were in avatar state bcoz they are spiritually connected

7:53 one of the white lotus used this skill when retaking ba sing se

6:24 Gonna have to argue with you there. Aang did bend lava that one time in the Temple of the Fire Sages. Admittedly, he was combined with Avatar Roku for that, but it still was Aang underneath.

Aang claps korra

What's the name of the song that play every time aang use his avatar state

When it comes to fighting I'll go with KORRA cuz she easily has access to every element except air but she mastered it perfectly.. On the other hand, I'll go with AANG when it comes to bending.. This kid invented so much and he was very creative..

In a way aren't they technically fighting each other!? Aang and Kora both have different styles and are strong in their own ways.

The thumbnail is making it look like an actual fight between Aang and Korra I'm stumped

correction: master jeong jeong also flies with firebending using the comet

One correction, Korra doesn’t harmonise with spirits in book 2. She BECAME a sprit to take down Unavaatu apart from Raava meaning she technically wasn’t the avatar when she defeated evil. Aang DID harmonise with the ocean spirit becoming one with it, but he did not become a spirit the same way Korra did. The two are not the same.

Clearly, both Aang and Korra were very skilled as both fighters and Avatars, with Korra having far more natural talent as a warrior than Aang. However, while Aang took his time throughout Avatar: The Last Airbender to develop proficiency with each element, he also had a better understanding of the spiritual nature of the Avatar as being its the foundation than Korra in The Legend of Korra. Ultimately, this made Aang the more powerful of the two Avatars.

The fact that toph was able to mop the floor with Korra as an old old lady I’m sure prime aang would do the same seismic sense is just too op & doesn’t get enough credit it deserves

Very explosive video

0:53 "he generated a massive vortex" by relying on the avatar state, he hadn't LEARNT water bending yet, he also wasn't conscious when using the avatar state this early, the avatar state put him and his offensive capabilities on autopilot.

Azula could also do the Fire Jet! To me It's the first move that pops up in my mind with Azula, she used it a lot to travel.

It’s obvious that Korra have been taughting herself basics of being the avatar by trying to keep up ever since aang can absorb that much power along with katara and toph. Their similarities still what stand out, the breath of air and earth armor are one of my favorites.

Aang's water tower at the start was in the avatar state as well

It isn't correct to say that Aang had problems in learning fire bending, he learned it really really fast, but when for error he hurt Katara his psyche blocked that power and it was really hard for him to unlock it again, but he learned it really fast in the beginning.

I think Aang really helped to set Korra up to succeed he had to travel the world to master different bending styles but he made sure his next life would be easier by having masters at the ready whenever he came back again.

Aang was the first avatar we know to energy bend. A skill he learned directly from the lion turtles and then taught to Korra. It basically was the reason she wasnt obliterated by the Kuvira Canon. Really feel sad for the next avatar.

aang vortex when he went in the avatar state was KABOOM!

Can we please have a skill comparison video of Aang’s Team Avatar and Korra’s Team Avatar.

Youre wrong Aang didnt struggle with fire. he learned it pretty quickly (master Jeong Jeong). But then when he accidentally burnt Katara he had this conscious and eventually subconscious fear or hatred of firebending.

*When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change* - Aang's 🌪 quote to Korra 🌊 *Even though we should learn from those who came before us, we can forge our own path* - Avatar Korra💧

I feel like korra's bending compliments her combat skills. Cuz her bending style is more on punches and kicks. While aang is more creative bender. Aang was a proficient bender while korra is a proficient combat bender. I don't wanna mess with KORRA in a 1v1 fight cuz that woman isn't holding back. And I don't wanna run into aang if he's into avatar state it look so scary on him.

haven't you hurt me enough human? that was so funny 😂

Aang had all the knowledge of the Avatars before him. His general philosophy was to hold back and use defense as an offense. Korra was very powerful and was able to tap into things Aang couldn’t even conceive at the time, but that doesn’t negate the fact that Aang was a master of the most powerful element from the beginning… AIR. Aang wins 9/10 times

Let's not forget that aang just freely gave korra the ability to energybend and go into the avatar state without giving her any obstacles. That plays a big role as to why I think aang would win

Aang:"I'm a pacifist!" also Aang 7:20

The low-quality thumbnail got me LOL

Pretty sure that Kyoshi was a lava bender. I mean... She was the most powerful earthbending Avatar that we know of.

Didn't Toph and Zuko state in Book 3 that Aang was rusty with his Earth and Fire bending

Actually we've been shown an avatar to lava bend, for example roku on the fire nation temple island, and I might be wrong but also the other "fire" avatar before him

I wish we could see a comparison of these two at their peeks.

azula also used jet propulsion without sozin's comet like ozai

I never made the connection that Korra turning into her giant form was similar to Aang combining with the Ying spirit koi.

I think just a little correction, what I remember Korra only able to enter avatar sate once Avatar Aang restore her bending when she lost it which can be seen on minute 13:28 on the timestamp, and conveniently right after Aang restore her bending she can then enter avatar state at will and at the same time can restore and take away bending for some reason.

and Aang just had a year to master all elements and he’s a lot younger too

This is why the fandom is divided because of posts like this. People compare the shows enough for this to be an official page for both series is appalling to me and this comment section will be filled with Korra hate talking about how terrible of an avatar she is and how the show was nothing like Atla

The time they live really makes them different. Not to mention there are so many more skills in each bending the avatars didn't master.

I mean y’all forget to realize that Korra lost the connection to her past lives. She was pretty much out on her own.

I figured this would be a official animation of them fighting.

I feel like aang could have metal bent because he could use seismic sense. That was how toph was able to sense the earth fragments in the metal

Anyone out there who love both Avatar shows equally or am I the only one. As far as who would win I don't know they are both super strong. Aang is super evasive, and Korra can take a lot of punishment before she goes down.

Anybody forget to mention that Aang passed his knowledge of getting into the avatar state on command to Korra, so she got the cheat sheet while Aang had to go through all the chakra's to gain control of the avatar state

Aang was the one who unlocked energy bending , he was the first and the founder of that skill

Korra never showed the octupus but she showed the water arms, thing that aang never did

Aang is better in the avatar state and with the spiritual side of bending. And Korra is better with raw bending talent. Maybe except for air bending

Um, that wasn’t the only time he used seismic sense he used in it practice during the episode ‘’the runaway.’’

the thumbnail is so funny oml

Aang, hands down. Korra is too aggressive and Aang would basically let her beat herself up. But this video wasn't framed as a 1v1.

Both were AMAZING avatars, but I think aang, being the Avatar before korra, is a lot more skilled. Korra showed her skills too. She's really tough and doesn't give up in a fight, she fought someone who can take away people's bending, and she created a new spirit portal at the end of the show. But Aang came before her.

14:15 the Korra only made a spirit portal because of the spirit weapon

Which website can I download it from
