The History Of Airbending (Avatar) 

I think that what happened was similar to what happened to the earth queen, supposedly Gyatso was completely cornered so he took all the air out of the room, killing everyone in it including himself

@@mikemurphy6927 If the situation is Gyatso being surrounded by firebenders, then he could create a ball of vacuum (starting from his position), expand it until all soldiers are caught in it. These firebenders can't burn Gyatso in that situation since fire won't get through that vacuum due to lack of burnable air. As for why the firebenders died of suffocation first before the monk himself (who was first trapped within the vacuum), there are studies showing that people living in high altitudes have better lung capacity than the ones on lower altitudes due to their environment having less oxygen. So yes, Gyatso can hold his breath longer than the firebenders attacking him, who are by the way spending their breath to firebend. Additionally, vacuum creation would be an OP sub-style to airbending that could subdue opponents fast (by making them grasp for air), and possibly other utilities such as soundproofing. In theory, it could be airbending adapting earthbending disciplines as the bender has to hold the vacuum space for as long as necessary. *Long, annoying fan theory over*

@@xian3571 impressive theory Good for you

It’s kinda sad how he made friends with roku, saw him leave and met up with his old friend in a new lifetime. Kinda like toph in a:lok

@@xian3571 I'm pretty sure a vacuum would kill anyone regardless of how long you can hold your breath. I may be wrong but I think the difference in pressure would cause Gyatso's and the firebenders lungs to burst.

Some airbenders did survived and hid somewhere but the firenation lured them to some mountain with airbender relics and killed them. It's in the comics. Zhao did the same strategy with Aang

That doesn’t explain why one of those airbenders got airbending but his brother didn’t

@@marcopanzironi6612he did

ive rewatched atla and korra like 8 times in the past 4 years lmfao

same sis

Lao I can’t watch season 2 it’s so disappointing to me

@@bransonhassa1468 of ATLA or LOK?

You sir 😂😂😂😂... tragic but damn

All the air toddlers just screamed and the air from their lungs saved them, but the non bender ones, well, just fell flat... oof

I think its the same situation as tenzin.... the airbenders have a choice to go to the nomad temples, and the non benders didn't go to the temple too

That reminds me of the dwarven buildings in skyrim

Anthony Miguel *ma’am, and thanks

Just thousands?

@@brandonfoley7519 its probably like ten thousand or more since air nomads they have the smallest population of benders and they cant over populate their temples because were else would they live?

@@lincolnmccallum8393 there called nomads, they have everywhere to live I guess your right

Brandon Foley true since nomad means to not stay in one place.

XD

I still did...

wat

What ritual was that? If you mean the one with General Old-Iron that was no pacifying of anything since they didn't use force (military or others). She just made a diplomatic deal to have an event, like a picnic, in honor of the spirits and the land.

Tom Vrabec yeah yanchen made a statue of the spirit the general loved and made a tradition where air benders would go through a ritual each year when they go to the statue

Yes as its seen cutting

Maybe you could make a literal sword from air or water maybe even fire.

Iolite Android Fire Benders can make fire daggers

@@xaxai127 ice sword but not water you can't change the property of water

Aang says to Katara that all he needs now is an air-sword. When Katara asks what that is, he said it’s a handle with a hole that he airbends a blade into

the ultimate outlaws lol

Timestamp?

i'm ok At the end 9:11

While there are no direct answers, there is a bit of info about each of these. 1. Not all of the air nomads were at the air temples. Many of them actually traveled the world after they finished their training, and it's also one of the reasons why not all air nomads were killed immediately after the attack done by the fire nation. 2. This one is a bit harder to answer, but if I would have to take a guess considering what we saw in the series, it' s most likely that there are relationships, maybe even marriages, but the kids are growing up without parents, and instead monks as a whole train and teach them

wait i’m confused are air nomads not allowed to have intercourse or something?

immmabot boi well there were temples specific to one gender only so idk maybe

Imao u can watch the monks in utube and know! Just sayin!

1. Being nomadic in this context I think means that they are not focused to a territory, sovereign, or state. As their domiciles are called "temples" because they don't intend to rule as they just utilize a space and nature to support their life and spirituality. Probably in Wan's era, the airbenders really lived more nomadic life like what you expected because they searched for foods instead of cultivating them like in Fire Nation or Earth Kingdom, but in the recent world, it probably counts as trespassing a country/kingdom's border as during Aang's time it is still segregated. So their locations are probably result of other elements as Air elements "go with the flow". Just like Water, they just need their environment to support their life flow. 2. Yes, monks are not supposed to have intercourse (detachment from earthly desires) but it does not mean nomads (they are still humans) do not reproduce. Buddhists (or in Avatar's case, just regular airbenders) today can still marry and have children. It's the lust and the greed that comes from sex are what make it hard to achieve spirituality. Beside, there is a concept of rebirth in Buddhism, which is the large basis of the Airbending philosophy and teaching so at certain level, intercourse is a way to ensure the teachings live on and fit the rebirth concept. High spirituality can either ensure your next life as human in a better condition (that allows easier environment to achieve spirituality) or even not being rebirthed at all. If all airbenders are abstinent, or able to achieve their spirituality goals, then we would not have gotten the cycle of Avatar.

It's because of their spirituality that allows them to air bend I think. I once heard that in another video of air benders

jiminie park it said so In this video

imagine being a non bender in the air nation you would literary fall to your death, so probably natural selection

Lincoln McCallum I think in that situation they’d either A:give them to a non bender family B: seek out air nomads who have left the air nomad life who live on the ground C: maybe just stay on one of the more non bender accessible Temples for the entire part of their lives D: YEET THE CHILD

@@ilhandaanish2381 Yes Yeetus the fetus

Lmao nice joke

as he should

I think the avatar state is different just sayin

@@julzz5233 technically *whoosh* but you do you

Where is my mother

Where can you watch it?

Random Dragon Netflix if you have it

I'd say air bending is the second most powerful next to waterbending because with air bending you can literally suck the air out of someone with waterbending you can control them using blood bending

@@mmmmm_monke8828 i agree with you but think about it korra defeated blood bending without avatar state, that means every human have potential of defeating blood bending, but air bender also can blow up apponents lungs

@@hunterss3017 that's Is true airbending is really good defensively and offensively

At least only air bending can face another element in everywhere not depend a place.

My god I didn't even know of this

Unfortunately, he's only in the Avatar card game.

The fire lord that was helped by him killed him?

@@adashi2407 but is he canon?

@@ballista7367 no

People probably would’ve written it off as extinct. However, I’d like to speculate that harmonic convergence would’ve still caused new air benders to emerge regardless of the practice having previously gone extinct

No. Whenever an Avatar dies, the next one in the cycle is born. An Avatar is only in danger of becoming extinct if he/she is killed in the avatar state. So to answer your question, if Aang was killed, then a new water tribe Avatar would be born hence, why Katarra’s mother died as they took/killed all water benders in the south. To answer the second, Korra wouldnt even exist. Aang created republic city and because of him, the war stopped. If he would have died, chances are that the fire nation would have invaded/conquered most of the world. Additionally, Korra was born much later so if he would have died at a young age, she wouldnt have been the avatar.

@Ruby Rembiszewski that doesn't make sense. if aang had died in the invasion of the air temples, the next avatar would've been born instantly after aang's death. katara is born 84 years after the genocide.

Well maybe the parents don’t have to be airbenders but descended from airbenders

I think since it’s a reincarnation cycle that no human has control over, there would probably be an air bender born to non bender parents, especially if some air nomads left the temple and had families and they were decedents. Remember the nonbenders inhibiting one of the air temples? Aang said that the boy who was paralysed from the waist down (I don’t remember his name) had the spirit of an air bender, maybe hinting he was a decent of air nomads. Maybe that spirit would be passed down to his children, and then after four cycles his decedents could be air benders. There would eventually be a new air bender regardless of the genocide they faced.

All elements have the same power level

@@colin7062 not really as strong as this, the only element that could counter this power is blood bending.

Air benders can fly only if the person they love the most dies

​@@andresavage9109 That is false, an airbender can only fly if said airbender has no earthly attachments freeing an airbender fully.

@@birdify3020 and how does one lose all earthly attachments

Nice, I got something too, hehe: Old people invented Uncle Iroh: lightning redirection Hama: bloodbending

@@TheFikri136 Guru Lahima: Free flight Not on the show but still :D

I got one too Creator of the show invented The show

I got one too Creators mother created the creator

@@TheFikri136 I believe Hama just discovered Bloodbending, it was not well known. Amon come from a family of bloodbenders. They are a Linage so they had much more knowledge of Bloodbending because each generation before Amon worked on it. There is chance other people discovered they can blood bend before during the Full moon, but most likely kept it as secret

Voice Acticon acctually air and water and earth were the best

Thier all the best # fire

I said I implement the martial art styles that are the elements are based off of. Like air is based on the martial Ba Gau and I love implement ba gau in the martial arts that I know

Air is just gaz, so it's not that resourceful. Fire is much more like heat, and superheated objects like lava can be used. Then water is steam, liquid, or ice, as well as in blood. The most resourceful is earth, with earth, stone, the stone in metal, maybe even in bones, lava, sand, mud.

@@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369 air is ver Resourceful lol

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Ikr? At least Aang made sense in the story that he was a master at a very young age, he was the Avatar. Jinora was a master because fuck you. The creators of the show can't just stop themselves in making terrible decisions.

@@Angglio Why would you gripe on this? .. Aang created the freaking air scooter

I don't think Jinora being a very young master is that big of a conflict as every kid or grandkid of th team avatar seemed to be very skilled in their bending which makes sense since their parents were a highly skilled masters. Plus you do get the kid prodigy thing like with Azula, or Aang or even Toph. So I find this aspect one of the least strange in Korra.

@@Angglio calm tf down, jinora was able to project her body and she had a very strong connection to the spirits

No earth

Think about you could bend the dust in the air

@@MOMOFCJ6 just respect other opinion

not until sozin attacks your home

The avatar's job isn't to keep his home peaceful but to keep the whole world peaceful...so you can't just stay in one place

@@chrisp.9385 Yes but l would be in the air temples in my childhood years till my avatar training was over and then keep the world peaceful from all of the dangers.....

Airbending is lethal you can bend the air out of lungs

Tell them, they are always on the air zone.

U NEVER WATCHED ATLA

this is a life-changing series. go watch it now 💃

What are you waiting for Chinese New Year go go go

Actually I dont think there can be much to say about flying... It was created by Guru Laghima thousands years before ATLA And TLOK And as I knew he spent his last 40 years of life not touching the ground. Zaheer was a very talented air bender He was able to show people that flying wasn t just a myth and he wasn t even an airbending master. So that s all i think you can say about flying since there s not to many informations in the show or comics

DeSTroYeR yeah I know all of that I’m just saying like all the other elements that have up grades earth which have two being Metal and lava with fire lightning,water blood bending now air flight

@@demetriusbrice3887 yeah ik He should have said something about it to make the video more complete

i’ve always found zaheer’s flight ability too contradicting for comfort. he achieved this extremely uncommon ability just after getting airbending, and certainly did not receive any spiritual training or guidance within air nomad culture. he did independently learn some of their traditions, but i don’t think that should suffice whatsoever. he might have been a good bender and attuned to the spirit world, but these traits should not have been enough. 🙈

@@demetriusbrice3887 Earth has sand bending too.

True

Cool. Cool, cool, cool

Cool. Cool

And Pathik...

Zaheer is an airbender but not an air nomad. Move along normie.

the legend of korra is good! don’t know why so many angry folks keep bashing it 🤷‍♂️

Lok is a good show... But Atla is legendary 👍👍

Paola Elizabeth Morales she was but don’t forget she’s also the avatar so she could air bend too using her fans

Yes. Also she's the avatar so she can bend air. She got her fans from her mother who was an airbender.

Bruhhhhhhhhh

Wait there's sandbending seriously

@@mangavf2525 sand is earth duh

sand is just earth, why do they need to make a video about it

tattooed smile Because history is history

@@tali7287 I know that somehow it would be related to earthbending but apart from metalbending, bloodbending and lightingbending I've never heard of that one

yeah, agreed... i really want to like legend of korra but it feels like there are too many holes in the lore, or ill fitted lore. also don’t like what they did with the spirits, they kinda look like pokemon and lose the eeriness, otherworldly feel to them. and the whole good/bad dynamic... to each their own though

The best way it works for me is by thinking that The Lion Turtles gave their residents the ability of pyro, geo, hydro, and aerokinesis, but *bending* the elements requires teaching and studying the respective masters, the dragons, badger moles, moon, and flying bison. This can be seen with Wan, he could shoot fire, but only after learning The Dancing Dragon from the Spirit Oasis could he *firebend* . It's as if the Lion Turtle could give a mute man the ability to speak, but only the original benders could teach him to sing.

Guru Pathic AmAn Lol

Onion and banana juice?

exactly, it just seemed so random and forced. It would just make sense for those airbenders to appear naturally over time since some most likely have airbending in their blood from an ancestor or something

@@iamabitch5643 no. the airbenders who had escaped the air temples when the fire nation attacked was lured into a mountain with some airbender relics and then they killed them. so having them appear naturally in korras time is impossible.

harmonic convergence makes total sense, ALL the avatar franchise is based on balance, but where is the balance if there are only 4 airbenders in the entire world?

Take it easy. It's a forgettable character anyways, like most characters in LOK.

That's make sense. But i think to achieve those crazy technique, the benders should understand about matters and elements. Oh dont forget in ATLK, Toph -an earthbender- can control liquid (mercury), ghazan and bolin can lavabend. So i think a type of bending can manipulate different matter as long as that matter got the element needed
