Avatar's Secondary Bending Explained 

sand is just small rock so it doesn't count

That is pretty dark

There is also crystal bending

@@davidcornell390 no it counts.

Thought sand bending was said to be drawn from airbending ... or maybe just in similar technique

Cloud and kyoshi’s glass bending

Omg haha yess

Now that is something I’d pay to see

well tehre are multiple earthbenders so that wouldnt be a good show

Lol

Spin off Zold - The last Lightningbender

Another RU-vidr did a good explanation of this: basically, during Aang’s time the Fire Nation Royal Family kept the secret within the family, so only they could use it. The technique must have spread everywhere once Zuko ascended the throne and opened up the Fire Nation, making more firebenders have access to the technique

@@bitchpudding2945 Yeah, that’s probably what happened.

@@bitchpudding2945 do you have the link ? 🙂

@@bitchpudding2945 it probably spread bc of azula

@@magostrate5253 Wgat do you mean?

I always had the idea that a water bender could rip the water from a cloud and turn it into a massive wave

but in the desert episode aang gets water from a cloud and there is one scene where hama gets water from the air

@@snithnorddarthbathrobe6928 that's a literal cloud, not thin air. And when Hama did it in the 3rd season, that was the introduction to the idea that it could be done. But it was never done again after that one episode.

I think about this ALL the time. Truly a waste.

Eh realistically it wouldn't work everywhere but I agree with you. I live in Louisiana so down here you could easily drown someone with the water in the air around them. Hell down here if you used heat bending to pull the heat from around someone you'd leave them encased in ice. lol Most people don't live somewhere that's consistently that humid though so it would only be possible when the weather allows for it.

I’m pretty sure all water benders can heal, but they need to learn how to

Joeng Joeng is a fire bender

@@grassfedbeefJeong jeong learned water tribe culture because he said fire can burn everything it touches and you can see his fire bending is verry fluid and he even said Katara is a healer

He meant that every waterbender has the potential to heal, not that they all do

Don’t you mean Gaara?

@@Whensheopenupthatwindow bruh

earthbenders can bury people in normal earth. they don't need to sandbend.

They forgot plant bending

@@bluebloxbang6105 And ice bending

Smoke is a particle of carbon, not a form of energy. So it'd belong to Earthbending. It'd basically be the Earthbending equivalent to Water's Mistbending

u miss chalk too

​@@MorganSaph maybe he ment the heat bending that Sozin demonstrated during volcano eruption...

Waterbender category for blood and plant is actually we can call it "fluidbend". Or "creature bend". It's not limited to blood and plants. But also can drain all the liquid out of any living beings. Just like draining water out of grass. For living beings, waterbender is the most OP because water is in every living beings. But for planetary issue, it's earthbender.

Hello, I would like to share my elemental analysis from both shows. These specific aspects make the show more interesting to me since they’re digging more on the depth and science of the elements, which is the show’s key feature, and how even the character of benders could affect (or improve) their bending. Each element on how it was used, how it was controlled, and how it was understood, was based on the essence of the element. Like how earth benders are more stiff, water benders more fluid, air benders more free, and fire benders more aggressive. Anyway, check out more below to see my extractions and observations on each element. Special Bending: Water - Blood (Element of Change - The challenge is adapting to density - improve the capability of the element) Earth - Metal (Element of Substance - The challenge is sensing scattered earth -connect with the element) Fire - Lightning (Element of Power - The challenge is controlling concentrated energy - increase the intensity of the element) Air - Flight (Element of Freedom - The challenge is independence from attachments - become the element) Sub Bending Skills: Through Change of forms and phases; Isolation of expression; Extraction; Molecular movement and manipulation Water - Ice, Mist, Plants Earth - Crystals, Sand, Lava Fire - Combustion, Heat Air - Pressure, Sound (More under complementary and intermediate elements) Spiritual Bending Specific Skills: Achievable through the bender’s - Character, Personality, Meditation, Practice and Training Water - Healing [including to the spirits] (You are able to change the quality and state of the object) Earth - Seismic Sense (You are able to connect and feel what it's like to be the element) Fire - Energy Reading (You are able to detect energy and chi connections) Air - Astral Projection (You become free in space as your form doesn't hinder you) Complementary and Intermediate Elements: (In Favor = More Dominant in Control) Complementary - Fire and Water - Steam (In favor of Water; Water benders could bend the water molecules while Fire benders could take control of the heat of the molecules.) Earth and Air - Sand (In favor of Earth; It is a light element that can have space between earth molecules for air molecules to occupy, giving air benders a little bit of control. So both elements can, at least for air, move sand) Intermediates - Fire and Air - Gas (In favor of Fire; Air benders can control the air molecules while Fire benders can control the kinetic energy of the molecules) Earth and Fire - Lava (In favor of Earth; Originally before LOK they're a shared element the avatar could control through earth and fire. Earth can move the substance while fire is responsible for the heating of the earth.) Water and Earth - Mud (In favor of Water; Since they are heterogenous, the earth in mud moves the water, while moving the water also moves the earth) Water and Air - Vapor (In Favor of Air; Water benders can bend the water molecules in vapor state while Air benders could bend the air molecules around the water to move the water molecules, or the gaseous state of water itself.)

Right? Lol

Got me so mad

Rahadian Arief just.....ugh

Lol I was like wth is he saying😭

Instantly came down to the comments to see if anyone else noticed, good people.

He was in the Avatar state, he doesn't count...

6 Szeto, kyoshi, roku, Sozin, ghazan and bolin

@@PxndaCakes szeto was in the avatar state when he was lava bending

@@ZaBalance123 Sozin can't lavabend, he's a firebender. The only interaction with lava we saw on screen was him cooling the lava by extracting compressed steam and smoke out of it.

@@jaeda6th Slightly wrong. He extracted the heat from it. That's all. Steam is waterbending and smoke is earthbending.

Yeah

Fac

Was thinking the same thing

I presume that he's channeling his past lives' ability to lavabend through the avatar state, and might not be able to do it outside of that, but boh

@@condenabo this was most likely the case since he did so with such ease and didn’t even think twice about lava. Just instinctively bent it

It's Air Redirection!

@@PxndaCakes no its called humor and being meelo

can earthbenders bend gravity

can avatar give non bending bending power with energybending

can airbenders bend gravity

Ikr i think they deserved more attention

I know right Plantbending is Badass.

It’s really no different than blood bending as it’s just bending the water inside of something.... also I’d assume since plants in the swamp are drenched in water it would actually be a lot easier then bending the water within someone

Lol he forgot some subs for the elements. Like plant, snow, heat, sand, cloud and sound.

Alpha Jay He included snow, ice, cloud, and even steam in the explanation of waterbenders. But it's very rare to hear/find anyone remember or talk about it swampbenders.

I mean lavabending can probably be achieved by an Avatar even without using the subbending, by straight up using two bendings at once

Logically you are correct. Makes no sense that Lava bending is strictly an Earth style. Should be Fire + Earth. Good point about combustion as well.

@@coyotestylepro1150 lava bending is strictly an Earth style because it's just heating earth. Like ice bending or steam bending are only Water styles.

@@davidcastro5307 Those styles you mentioned should also be hybrids because an earth or water bender shouldnt be able to add heat to anything. Itd be like fire bender being able to bend steam bend or something XD

@@coyotestylepro1150 sorry but what sense does that make? When Katara turns water into ice what two elements is she using?? She's just using water in solid form. Just like Bolin uses earth in liquid form when he lava bends

Abd kyoshi

I think he meant to say the only known 4 were Bolin, ROKU, Kyoshi, and Ghazan, not Sato.

I think because avatars can fire bend and therefore control energy and heat, turning earth to lava isn’t as difficult as relying on the strength of your earth bending alone (Gazan and Bolin). It’s similar how fire benders can boil tea

@Kirsten Lamb they don’t

@@AKAL-th6dl that’s not true because that would mean it would of been child play to angg for bend earth

Or a second avatar state. The first being the one we know already that allows you to use the skill and power of every Avatar before you. And a second one that unlocks all bending techniques and the skills to use them. But it doesn't allow you to tap into the overwhelming power of the first one. It only unlocks all sub bending techniques. You can't use both Avatar states at the same time.

@@JamesLard32 The whole point of the Avatar state is that you do have access to the total combined power of all previous Avatars, along with all their memories. So, the current Avatar can always use the bending all other Avatars mastered. Not to mention, the Avatar state pseudo-ressurrects all previous Avatars in the current Avatars body. That's why it's considered the most powerful skill of the Avatar, because they become godlike. The reason they don't use it though is because the Avatar permanently dies if killed in the Avatar State.

no

Ye we need justice dor sparky sparky boom man

Yeah thanks I was wondering why he said a random name when showing “sparky sparky boom-man

Smh

Yeah there are a lot of mistakes in this vid. Not much research was done in making it, SMH indeed

So many mistakes 😱😱

That gives me Ocarina of Time flashbacks.

That's just earthbending. Any earth bender could do it given the opportunity.

And plant bending

And ice bending

@@MrWilson812 not everyone can sand bend. Look at toph one of the greatest of all time. Couldn't sand bend. It is also implied that it takes forms from airbending. So not every earthbender could do it do to the forms of the opposite element.

Toph can sand bend though, in the finale of ATLA she sand bended a mini ba sing se before zuko attacked Aang

Sand isn't a sub element

@@xiondavis969 ya its a bendible element by earth benders

Water bending also has ice bending!

@@xiondavis969 no

If you hit diamond armor like you suggest with a sledgehammer, it will shatter

Pretty sure glassbending isnt canon so that’s why it isnt talked about. Sand and steambending are lesser talked about due to how few appearances they had in ATLA and LOK. Mudbending is also rarely showed.

@@lycturnal9546 they still exist and deserve to be spoke about and glassbending features on the wiki so it most be canon 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@jonathanhunter8076 heck is glass bending? Glass isn’t earth.

@@agbaya5314 glass is made from sand, sand is earth and is able to be manipulated by sand Enders, have a look on the wiki

Before anyone else comments about glassbending - it was confirmed in shadows of Kyoshi that earthbenders can control glass

They honestly don't care they just want to make money this guy just reads the script and they can't even search about what's in the script

Yes

Yes, they did in the show.

Indubitably

Yes

Yepp, Zaheer air bended the oxygen out of the Earth Queen

Bolin was in his twenties when he learned lava bending. And given that he wasn't incredibly useful before he learned I'd say he's more overrated.

@@MrWilson812 he wasn’t in his twenties he was 16 at the start of the show and then he turned 17 in between book 1 and 2 he’s twenty during book 4 because of the three year time skip

I think that’s kinda of the point... He def powerfull yes, but I don’t think much of him (in context of it being a show) CUZ he learned lavabending out of nowhere with nobody to teach him. Even Toph when she was figuring out metalbending had to spend a few moments searching for the earth particals and how she could move them. Bolin just stops a giant flow of lava without even thinking about it.

@@casperxpyt no he thought about it he had to stop being afraid to unlock his earth checkra

@@petertracycarroll Fair enough, but lava bending is the only real accomplishment he made in the series. So he gets about as much respect as he deserves.

Lava is in a way really hot liquid dirt as for fire is really hot anything else except dirt. Like you cannot put a brick on fire.

😂😂😂 It like saying the Joker should have a redemption arc

There would of been in season 4 but they couldn’t do s4

NO NO NO. Azula MUST be evil,corrupted and crazy.

Yea she was abused

@@stefanocremonini2656 but...WHY

Don't listen to them 😑

Yes

yes

No that was zukos role

She is getting it in the comics

No she didn't. She was the perfect villain.

But it’s kinda not tho

Well in a way yes, it's just that it seemingly is shared between all water benders, thus considered as a part of waterbending rather than a sub bending style

@@charliehallden5940 Icebending is to Waterbending what Lavabending is to Earthbending. It's a sub-bending discovered by controlling molecules

Roku fought the volcano and he used lava bending which is a type of earth bending

Yeah also when Zuko melted the surface ice in Siege of the North and when Iron heated his tea.

@@elijahzsori7935 he was a avatar?

i think it works the same way regular water bending works. if a waterbender bent the water in a balloon to lift it, the balloon wouldn’t pop. they’re lifting the water the same way they would lift any other water, so the person’s weight wouldn’t cause them to stay grounded, which would result in them exploding and dying. their body moves with the water, not the other way around.

your body is made up of 60% water. Bloodbending controls over half the body, meaning that only 40% of the bodies weight would be acting against that 60%. no way her blood would get ripped out. Plus, with your blood system being a (hopefully) closed system, the only way to stop circulation would be to stop the heart. Remember that a bloodbender is picking you up by your veins and they run through pretty much every milimeter of your body.

Yeah it was amazing

bruh only thers only 2 combustion benders in all theres sparky boom boom man and P,li

Spreading lies

Agreed

Considering that the Void is literally nothing, it can't be bent. Flight would be a mix of Spiritbending and Airbending. Also, he used Airbending to remove the air from peoples lungs and created an empty air shield around people's heads to prevent them from breathing

@@MorganSaph ​ 1) This is a make-believe show about magic. So saying Void couldn't be bent because it's not an element isn't a valid argument. -Fire is not a thing; it's stored chemical energy released from material in thermal runaway. Earth is not a thing. They bend anything from silicon, carbon, and iron to complex solid materials containing bound gas elements. 2) Void = Vaccum, and removing air entirely from an area is something we've only seen Zaheer do. If vacuum is a normal part of Airbending, it would automatically prevent all Firebending.

if it ever got continued i wouldn't be surprised. Air Bending lost so much momentum due to the fire nation, with more time to grow more subsets would emerge

That would made them benders of two different elements, which is impossible for anyone who isn't the avatar.

@@hectorhernandezaleman3836 Transbenders are possible. But Sparky-Sparky Boom Man proves Combustion is Firebending only.

so technically you could say there are 5 confirmed lava benders. a second that may still be alive in the Korra series besides Bolton

Bolin*

6 because Avatar Roku can lavabend.

I know, it erks me every time.

You could us it medically to stop heavy or even internal bleeding.

@@Zinervawyrm Exactly, especially since both bloodbending and healing are water bending sub styles

I'd go with lava bending personally, ridiculously destructive and geothermal electricity is super easy to generate so I'd still have electricity for my home and city. lol

Eii we'd need you there at eskom

Well I think he did great

Im pretty sure someone else wrote his script lol

The way he said Ghazan is weird too

@@xiondavis969 to people who have the show close to their heart this is almost the same as the movie we don’t talk about

Of everything you mention only Airbending and Spiritbending are actual Bending Elements. Atomic is literally what they already do, just 1 level bigger, Void doesn't exist, literally, Space is impossible since it's not an element, Gravity seems to be part of Air or Spirit bending, Light and Dark Bending are the same thing and would fall under Firebending and Energy Bending is just an alternate name for Spirit Bending.

"or because drinkable water is one of the signs of civilization" ONE OF THE SIGNS!

@Drex Your Ex What are you trying to argue here? The narrator of the vid said "one of the signs of civilsation". Why is that an arguement?

@Drex Your Ex Fair enough then

Before human pollution, there were lots of natural drinkable sources of water...

@@PerfectAlibi1 true,. It they basically said that Africa is uncivilized.

Know I'm late but they shouldn't be able to bloodbend, since the iron in the blood is too little and too pure to actually do anything with it. We've seen earthbenders being incapable of bending pure metal before so... I don't think they'd be able to do it.

@@hectorhernandezaleman3836 that's why I said theoretically able to, not that they should be able to

Yeah ikr

Agreed

They were probably too dehydrated to think of that. Plus, what are a few drops of water gonna to in a ship full of firebenders? Maybe you can kill one guard, but without being a bloodbender, you just used the only water you had.

Dude, it's an Avatar video,what did you expect?

ill come in a century or so :)

You and the whole of the comments section of this video is angry about that for literally no other reason but to be smart and point out what they did

Yeah pretty cool right!

It doesn't because Bolin isn't a transbender. He's an earthbender and lava is just hot earth. heat is just movement. He's just moving really small bits of earth really bloody fast.

The Avatar will never be able to achieve Flight, since it requires letting go of all earthly attachments. And last I knew, keeping the world in balance was a pretty big earthly attachment.

glass is earth bending, wood is plantbending and plastic is no. It's a synthetic material, not a mineral, so nothing bends it. but using 2 different benders to create something that needs multiple elements is clever. I dub it Fusionbending.

Exactly

Oh yeah cool

PEENGUINNNN

Technically, Waterbending would be closer to this, as they already manipulate the energy within the body when they heal.
