Ranking the Most Powerful Airbenders in Avatar 

Tenzin was such a badass in Korra. He was a non-violence Airbender but when his family and home is on the line, he'll whip up a hurricane to defeat his enemies. He almost went toe to toe by himself against the red lotus who were criminals out to kill when all he wanted to do was peace

Meelo as a kid was able to take on a full grown earth bender

"Meelo, Master of Fart Bending " That right there makes him more dangerous than any Bloodbender

It's like rewatching the whole avatar series again just from watching this lol, it's just very nostalgic

You can tell Monk Gyatso if he have lived in the time of the main story would have been the airebender representative of the White Lotus.

ikki & meelo should be ranked higher than opal and kai for the fact they’ve been airbenders their entire life in contrast to the others

Hey Gyatso killed more than 10 fire benders in that room. I'm glad they show this scene in the live series.

I love the way you go through each Airbender's strengths and weaknesses.

I think once jinorah reaches her full potential she will be stronger than everyone. Gyatso was able to be amongst 2 avatars. Unfortunately for Aang and Tenzin they had the weight of the world with them! Something that limit the free spirit of airbenders

Imagine how scary airbending would be in real life. You wouldn't see anything like we "see air" in the animated series, you would just feel sudden hits....

Yangchan was making people faint by removing the air from their lungs as zahir and giaco

I think Aang and Monk Gyatso were on the same level of air bending, looking at the so many things Aang could do with air in the ATLA. Suffocating was not jus' Aang's thing and doing. Despite Aang's looks as a 12-year-old kid, his air bending was still the strongest in history. That was proven when he singlehandedly stopped a volcano without entering the Avatar State. Like, that air bending was so powerful in that scene. You wouldn't argue with me, watching that scene where a stopped a volcano, and other scenes, as well, where he displayed powerful air bending skills and techniques. He was already a master and a prodigy, even before he turned 12. Aang wasn't a ferocious and aggressive fighter like other benders. He was extremely great.

Missed the greatest airbender in history. The great gurú lahima. He WAS the one who discovered the ability to fly

Monk gyatso was a pacifist and still catching bodies, killed all 50 guard around him and still no burn marks on his body bro is a menace

12:54 best airbending technique that even Zaheer won't ever acheive. LOL

Meelo cracks me up, such funny character haha. When hes like 'idk if you can count on these ladies'. Reminded of me and my sisters, lmao.

Zahir learned a forbidden air, bending technique created by avatar YangChan let’s not forget how she can also manipulate the air around someone to make gravity collapse upon them, and a few other different lethal techniques she created even in this intro we see her been so powerful, is moving the trees itself, and bending them towards the wind I believe she is by far the most powerful Airbender

Can't wait to see Adult Ginora, Kai, Meelo in the new earth avatar next year

ah fartbending, a technique everyone can do. XD Meelo was always my favorite of the kids as he was so much like Aang, carefreee and fun loving.

We don’t know whether Aang or Gyatso is better

Love how Kai got the love from Russia theme.

What about Yang Chen? We can assume she was more powerful than giatso due to avatar native-airbender status

I think this is the first video I have seen of yours that I actually fully agree with.

Monk Gyatso could’ve also slit their throats with an air blade too. Remember when Aang mentioned that wind sword from the sword handle after trying on the armor? That could’ve been his last move against them before dying to the suffocating heat amplified by the comet.

Great Video

i always actually loved that air nomads are that much pacifist, because that leaves space for my headcanon that implies they do it because they are op af and that is why they don't have sub bendings. Because they are potentially too OP. And no avatar could get to know the real airbending potential as air nomads always tought the bending as a deffensive

Did he just forget yangchen?

honestly, I think Zaheer surpassed tenzin after obtaining the ability to fly, just my opinion

The "bullshit" part was really funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

This video is so interesting and fun to watch. Great job

Since Aang appears in the list I would’ve suspected to see Yangshen on first place. 😅

Good job choosing Hindustani Classical music as your background score. There is cultural similarity between present day Tibetans and Indians, and it went well with the video. Though I suppose you could've also added in traditional Tibetan music. A few gongs and chants would've mixed in nicely.

i still think Aang is strongest then Gyatso

I think It’s not fair you added Avatar Aang to this list. He’s an avatar and do not deserve to be listed among the ordinary airbenders. Remember in the other lists (Tribes) you did not add any of the avatars such as Avatar Kora, Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk and Yancheng! Even Avatar Wan 🤭 This is my opinion. Thank you 🙏🏽

I love Tenzin. He's one of my favorite characters in the franchise. That said, I think Zaheer is more powerful than him. Tenzin was obviously steonger during their first ie counter, however once Zaheer becomes "untethered," everything changes. Zaheers ability to fly makes him too fast and the range on his attacks becomes pretty crazy. Not to mention the fact that Zaheer is likely to be stronger in any of the speliritual aspects of Airbending. Zaheer is more powerful than Tenzin.

“Stay away from my dad ex girlfriend” 😂 💀

I would have included guru laghima. The airbender master who discovered the flight technique. I would also have put in Avatar Yangchen. Also, i would push zaheer below jinora

My only complaint is that I believe Bumi and Avatar Yangchen should have been included

They had to make AirBenders pacifist to nerf them 💀

gyatso was low key badass. In the live action show Sozin even says point blank that if hadn't been for the comet Gyatso would have won.

Definitely agree. I understand it’s hard since there’s so little airbenders in the show, but if Aang gets to be on this list, Korra should definitely be on the water bender list

I didn’t even see you add Jinora’s spirit projection.

1:06 😂😂 gets me every time

Nice Indian Classical style Flute BGM❤

I think an honorary #1 would be Guru Laghima

Yangcheng is a another powerful air bender

I think number 1 is Jinora

For progress and self taught skill... Zaheer may be #1!

Zaheer should have been #1 or #2. In mere months he became strong enough to go toe to toe with Tenzin and others. He learned to fly when air benders had lost that ability.

What about Yangchen? She used airbending while screaming which destroyed rocks and made a huge wave of water. All that with airbending

I don't know if I'd rank Gyatso number 1. Great feat yes, but these were fire nation soldiers that have always been shown to be fodder in the series. Even with the comet amp, they can't be compared to Ozai, Zuko, Iroh, or Azula level benders.

Jinora deserves to be higher. She mastered air bending rlly early and is also a spiritual master. She’s better than her dad 😒 she should at least be 4

I just though about something, the color of the eyes in the avatar world is based on the element running through the blood of the parents (all water bender and all of water tribes origins have blue eyes, same with fire and earth) and by seeing Mako and Bolin being mixed-nations we saw the brown = fire and green = earth. But with the harmonic convergence people of all origins gained air bending (until then only grey eyed characters were airbenders) but they kept the eye color that they had before, so does that means that if their childrens inherits the capacity to airbend (or inherit it in their blood to pass to a future generation) do they gets grey eyes or do they keep the color of their parents, does that means that only Aang bloodline will have grey eyes ? Edit : I forgot Jinora had brown eyes

I thought Yangchen would be mentioned

I think there is one missing,, Guru Laghima,, but i didn't blame it because it was a very small details on it,, and the only thing that we knew that he can is flight,, like what Zaheer did,,,

In my opinion Zaheer should be #1. Not having him in the top 3 is a crime. 1. He studied airbenders his whole life as well as their forms 2. He learned to use air bending offensively 3. When he was granted air bending he was immediately nearly at master level right out of the gate. 4. He is one of only two known air benders who achieved the ability of flight. Not even aang or Gyatso could do that. 5. Had he been a bender his whole life his potential would have been unrivaled.

Milo an airbending general could hit hard in the next series

I love how tenzin is peaceful and doesnt kill. Id beg to differ. I love that about the airbender heritage

If Zaheer had more time, he for sure would have become the most powerful non avatar air bender, given what he accomplished in such a short amount of time.

I don't like that tenzin is ranked above zaheer. I think zaheer and Aang actually might be a toss up. And i really wasn't expecting to see giatso on the list since we see so little of his feats and most if it is fan speculation.

Zaheer should've been number one. He's the first airbender in centuries to master flight. Not even Avatar Aang did that.

wish we could know more about the history of all characters

I would say Zaheer is stronger than tenzin but kinda correct

Yangchen left the chat 💀

Zaheer has my utmost respect, I mean flight 😮

meelo is the most underrated airbender in the world

Jinorah might well be the most versatile Airbender ever...her spiritual prowess is pretty much unmatched by any non avatar. She created multiple abilities in LoK that NOBODY else had. Tenzin's pure combat ability probably doesn't get talked about enough. Defeating Zaheer 1 v 1 and stalemating up to three of the most powerful Red Lotus members at once is insane. Especially when not the main character. Aang has to be #1 though. At 12 years old he was not only defeating professional firebenders like nothing, he did it super easily and while not even going 100% most of the time. He effortlessly just danced around them and played with them like they weren't there. Imagine a 12 year old going against a 25 year old pro in literally any real world martial arts competition. As toph said...imagine me at my prime.

zaheer not even being top 2 is wild

man Air and Water sure are my top favourite bending techniques, it's a shame we never got to see a fight between a Blood-bender and a pro Air Bender that doesn't car about suffocating you to death lol

Zaheer should easily be 2 or 3. He mastered an ancient art that wasn't done for thousands of years and even as a non natural bender.

i was expecting yangchen on this list

Just imagine if Aang wasn't a master airbender

Another really powerfull bender would be Laghima as he is the one why invented the flight ability that Zaheer learned. Of course we don't know if he was powerful in terms of combat or was more on the philosophical side.

If Zaheer was the avatar it would get pretty scary. I feel he has a grasp on learning any form of bending instantly.

Jinora is a prodigy who is unmatched by anyone else in the show(s), she would be #1 on my list.

Zaheer was a handful lol

Appa is an airbender too 😂

Meelo is no doubt the Strongest..

To be fair those metal benders didn’t want to hurt her

Avatar yang chen. Monk Kelsang literally dubbed the Storming Monk. Recalling Kelsang lost his position as head monk after killing an entire navy in a single night. Having killed thousands.

I somehow want to share a Jasmine Tea with Uncle Iroh and Master Gyatso.. 🙏

Imagine not knowing that avatar Yangchen soloed 3 combustion benders by sucking all the air out of the room

Kai deserves to be higher on the list but age was a factor He pulled many moves that were unexpected from someone like him. The combustion blast he survived was from smart thinking. The move he used on the bison poachers. The moves he used on the Dai Li He even learned to use the Glider. And most especially, first dude to rizz up a female air bender (yes before Bolin)

guys i think gyatso is the second and YANGCHEN IS THE GREATEST AIRBENDER SHE MADE 2 NEW TECHNIQUES AND MORE!

Kelsang from the kyoshi novels is pretty amazing!

Yangchen is my top 1

What about the other Avatars? Roku, Yangchen, korra, and kyoshi? We havn't seen all of them airbend, but if you considor one Avatar you should include All that we know... or explain why you don't count them in... besides that i like that Video

What is the name of the song that plays in the intro?

I can't believe this air bending can do instant kill

jinora is actually realy underrated

Iroh and Gyatso would most likely have been great friends if they met.

Gyatso is a better airbender, although we never got to see what adult aang’s bending ended up looking like, but Aang is inherently the most powerful because he’s an Avatar.

Yangchen though? Otherwise great vid

Nature is mesmerising of ours

I think Jinora should probably rank ahead of Zaheer if not Tenzin because of her mastery of the spiritual side, something only Aang on this list can really compare to. Even Tenzin admits his failure in that department as his greatest weakness.

I love that you showed monk gyatso love but aang still has to be number 1 bro he saved the whole world as a 12 year old and was already powerful in airbending even if he was the only one left and he only got stronger as he got older

You forgot Guru Laghima, the first one that was able to abandon everything to become the wind

I still think zaheer considering how little time he had and obviously the power to fly makes him the most powerful airbender

Some of these characters are amazing like guru lahima but also consider the fact that they were never brought to life if u don't get i mean animated

😊dumb question: what is harmonic convergence?
