Ty Lee Is an Airbender 

True

Yeah

@@iradessapearl6004 you know what I mean

I agree

Not necessarily, if some Airbenders were exiled to the fire nation, they wouldn't want to show their Airbending. If you bring it back to real life there were some jews that helped the Nazis round up the jews.

@@godstenrules That isn't what the OC said. 1. Not sure why you brought up the Nazis. I see where you are pulling the comparison, but its unrelated to the OC. 2. Aang would have had fun having the opertunity to teach her Airbending. That is the statement the OC is making. And probably entiearly valid considering Aangs personality. Though it should go without saying that this would only happen in the event that Ty Lee joined their gang like Zuko did. Granted, she didn't and so far IU, there isn't a hard confirmation that she is an airbender. Hense why its just a fan theory. 3. It is also worth noting that when they talk about the Airbenders being in Exile, that is not to say that they were cast out of their home by their own people. As the video suggested (but didn't discuss much), after the fall of the temples, many probably would have fled into other kingdoms to find safety. Discarding their traditional clothing to blend in. Covering theit tats. Etc. They are technically living in Exile, away from their homeland for safety. Some, also as the video suggested, would probably hide under the very nose of the Fire Nation itself. And while it is not discussed directly in the video, the Fire Nation Elite interests in the Air Nomadic Lifestyle may have also created sympathizers within the Fire Nation Ranks that could also have helped some benders suvive the genoside. Which in turn can lead to couples and Fire Nation Elities having kids who would have airbending potential. So far, we havent seen anything that suggests its impossible to hide ones bending and we havent seen anything with people bending uncontroable because they lack training. So, without training and growing up in the Fire Nation, Ty Lee could very well be an Air Bender who is just unaware of her herritage.

Not a secret airbender, just maybe her grandpa was an air nomad

Oh yeah he would've had REAL fun with her. I bet it would've been her instead of Katara

And the writers could have even pulled off this card in Korra to be like "oh yea all those people were airbenders already and the spirit bs just awakened that"

Not dozens but Everyone is usually away from the temples. Hence the term Nomads. I've posted a similar theory. Everything he says makes sense. Hiding in plain sight and the next generation is unaware of this heritage. Except Tylee isn't just an elite as a friend of Azula. It is mentioned her initial appearance that she the daughter of a nobleman and attended the royal firebender academy.

@@SwampKryakwa It wouldn't even be that much of a reach, air nomads are very spritual people, if they had no teachings about spirituality and didn't even know they were airbenders, then it's very likely they woulnd't have any idea on how to airbend. When all the spirit world stuff happened, it's likely that many people would experience enhanced spirituality and therefor find out they were airbenders. Idk.

@@cyniex3728 yes. Writers of Korra did not even try to make all this stuff work, when they have totally could just using the present elements of the worldbuilding

@@SwampKryakwa Here’s a little fun fact: the writers of Korra are the same as Avatar the last airbender. So when you say the writers of Korra, you are saying the writers of Avatar the last airbender as well.

Actually, part of the theory is that her acrobatics are as good as they are because she has been subconsciously airbending. Now, I grant you, if she had learned actual airbending techniques, she would definitely be an unstoppable force.

@@nispelsm I think Tylee will make an amazing *agility* based avatar if she was chosen to be in the avatar cycle

Nah, with her Chi-Blocking, She could become an EVEN BIGGER Menace than she was before

@Jpat360 funny but you get the tattoos from becoming a master

using air to chi block

What better way to hide and survive then plausible deniability in this situation

Source?

@@dancarli8639 It is talked about in the two Kyoshi novels, but it has been a while since I have read them, so I don’t know exactly where.

@@fey_dragon oh that’s fine I would love to learn that piece of lore

yeah

Oh yeah that makes a lot of sense

@Gladeous it MIGHT work if TyLee conceived Pema at the right age. Pema was around 35 in the show and Tenzin was 51. Tenzin was born in 119 AG and Pema in 135. In Season 1 of Korra, Jinora was 10 meaning they likely were married when Tenzin was 41 and Pema 25. Now, Ty Lee was 14 during the final year of the war, which would put her at 49 when Pema was born. So while it’s possible, it’s usually unlikely, but with Katara being a healing master, she probably helped a lot of her friends births go smoothly and heal the womb faster.

Hey guess what also explains that. Them being the grandchildren of aang

@@Beyondthe5thPanel Ty Lee seems like the kind of mother who would wait and grow as a person before having kids.

Pema's parents/grandparents were most likely the budding couple shown in one of the comics. They didn't involve Ty Lee. So I doubt the two are related.

No. The new airbenders were a side effect of the energy shift caused by Harmonic Convergence.

the eye thing makes no sense since we see other people from the fire nation who have brown eyes, including the earth kingdom. its not a primarily airbender trait.

@@youngmaster7405 well, yes primarily, because the dominant colour for each nation corresponds with the colour of their element. Of course, some person in each nation will have variations, that's just nature. But Ty Lee, as one of Azula's closest friends and higher ranking assailants, it makes sense and seems to be hinting towards her having air nomad root.

@@audreydoyle5268 her relationship to azula shouldn’t mean her eye color would be brighter. Thats an interesting explanation but it doesn’t make sense

@@vetarlittorf1807 you're right in the point, that the energy shift turned these nonbenders into airbenders, but only a part of nonbenders obtained the ability to airbend and not every nonbender. so there should be a certain reason, why these distinct nonbenders became airbenders. and i think, that the energy shift from harmonic convergence just acted like a catalyst. so that, as i already explained, this energy shift brought these hidden or weak powers to the surface. that's at least what I theorize

Great point.

This is a great theory!

BRUH I'M DYING🤣🤣 I'TS HARMONIC CONVERGENCE

@@jimitresmith6945 😂😂😂

yea

maybe she's not full air bender just has air bending traits and small small bits of its power

@@bigclitenergy just enough to make her acrobatics great but not enough for anyone to be suspicious or anything…yeah I can see that

@@bigclitenergy that's not how bending works. You're a bender or you aren't a bender. Nothing in between.

Similar eyes and facial structure as Aang could just be coincidence but I don't think the writers would just put those details in for no reason so Ty Lee having air nomad in her genes could still be possible, but I don't believe she can air bend. Even if she could and her family had been exiled to the fire nation, no way would she expose her abilities and risk death so easily. She simply isn't a bender.

@@emils1615 it's world full of like literal magic. why would the rules of it be so black and white?

@@LazyPirate8 a

@@LazyPirate8 Grandchild. You're looking for the word grandchild. It's been a hundred years, if she's related to him at all she'd be a grandchild or some sort. Probably with a few 'great's just before it.

Great-great niece, maybe.

It would make her story pretty tragic, considering what Aang went through.

She's still hot too

Shes the kind of girl to have orbiter all around her

She was one of my favorite characters in the series lol

@@SeroccoFR

It's not just the eyes, she literally has the same FACE as Aang. Like Jinora with her tattoos.

Came here to say this!!

sweet home alabama

but during harmonic convergence bumi got his air bending. the most likely possibility is that they either didn't know they could airbend or they did have airbending but it was locked somehow

@@Taha_A Bumi is a non bender who was given Airbending. Just like every other new other Airbender.

A generation is usually 20 years, so it could be 5 generation after. Royalty (ie the Fire Nation Royalty) isn’t that good to go off of since they rule til they die regardless of how old

@@m.c.martin yeah thats true it makes sense. I mean with it being that far apart it would be alot easier to believe and not really "break cannon"

in fact, yes all air nomads were airbenders and they all got hunted after the attack on the temples. by the time of TLA aang is the only airbender and only person with air nomad blood

@@youngmaster7405 Were all air nomads airbenders? I've always thought it was just a vast majority/almost all of them, but not every one of them.

@@liborkozak8938 nah they were so small in population and spiritual that they were all airbenders. Оfficially at least

So they just banished their non bender kids? I want a source on this as I have always thouht air nomad is their whole people and not just benders

@@liborkozak8938 in the kyoshi novels it explained that since their people had a strong spiritual connection they would all manifest bending

His bday? Happy Birthday to you :)

This theory has been out for a while

It is possible the Monks and Nuns returned to the Temples to celebrate some big event. It could even connect to Sonzin's Comet. We don't know what Sozin's Comet was called or how it was treated before AG.

@@joesunday199 idk, I just don’t see that being likely being all scattered could mean anywhere in the world. Some of these nomads could have been preoccupied with other things, and so on, I personally believe they may have been in hiding

@@LetsPlayArcanium If they were all that scattered they wouldn't likely have heard of the Fire Nation attack. I doubt most would have been in hiding. Nomads don't exactly have many ways of communicating long distances. So, Air Nomads might have started heading to each of the Temples unaware of the Fire Nation; which could have intercepted them. There were some Nomads that were in hiding but I doubt it was the majority.

ty lee's grandmother is not sozin's sister. she has no blood relation to firelord sozin.

Um , later on in the lore it does say that's what is noted , so get your facts straight...OK,

@@youngmaster7405 as I was told online, this was later noted in Canon information online, because sozin,s sister had an Airbender boyfriend where he was in the end banished from the temples , and sozin,s sister had been in the temples and had an deep relationship with an male monk, so as I noted do more research, ty-lee has only an certaint percentage of air nomad blood but when during azula,s timeline she just couldn't manifest those abilities of her air nomad blood ancestor...

@@youngmaster7405 also key bonus information to prove this theroy is that in the graphic Trade paper back vol2 and 3 " the promise " Aang encounters an group of young ladies, who kept showing him air nomad relics and items , then during the final confrontation between the yu-dao colony earth benders and Fire benders those air nomad decendents actually pop up in one part dressed in their great great grandparents, novice monk/ air nomad novice clothing that their great great grandparents hid much like avatar Roku's daughter ( aka. Ursa's grand mother hid the very royal relic that Iroh gave to Zuko in season 3 episode 6) also those yu-dao decendents of air nomads became the first air acolytes ( see series 2 legend of korra) not noting this in order to offend you or anyone but to explain why to cross reference the Canon information better...

@@youngmaster7405 also in series 2 season 3 (legend of korra) how do you explain how earth kingdom humans gained air bending abilities after harmonic convergence was possible if some air nomads as Canon noted peppered in the original series hid after the initial attack of the air temples here's why: 1-. Sometimes being born or gaining bending of any type is based on genetics, so in that earth bending families with an hidden air nomad ancestor gained air bending after harmonic convergence, so if sozin,s sister was in an deep friendship with the temples various monks and nuns and then as it's rumored in Canon having had been in an deep relationship with an air nomad and since the fire nation of Yu-Dao had people whose grandparents hid their air nomad relics/ possessions including their novice monk clothing, it's highly logical that this wasn't just isolated to only the earth kingdom people inter-genetically breeding or having relationships with air nomad survivors of the temples that if not banished from the temples and were only willing to help sozin get into the temples in order not to be killed outright, which is the most likely reason that people based on sozin's sister being in an relationship with an air nomad , is in this theory one of the reasons ty-lee doesn't have the eye colors or additude of her fellow fire Nation female counterparts.... So this is an example of the arkhems razor theory when the facts Don't match the only deduction however impossible to conceive mentally is the only correct answer...I hope you check this theory out , because then using my facts I noted from the TV and graphic book Canon information ( dark horse publishing) you'll see why people did the old theory of adding the clues together came to what's known as the 2+2=4 theoretical anwser by taking all the clues that lead to this weird irony based theory possibly being one with an higher probability of being the dark truth , ty-lee if she did know about would cause her to have an existential crisis of the mind, but which wouldn't just Freak ty-lee but Azula as an possible cousin as well , because if sozin,s sister as this theory stipulates then she's azula's distant cousin of an different mental polarity in short they're mentally polar opposites of each other as individuals in various aspects, and as my deceased friend said quote "only an actual blood / DNA test if ever possible would prove if this is or isn't in theory the most likely to be able to be even 1% correct based on the hidden clues of this theory that has been brewing since the end of the 100 years war Era story ( series one series finale) ...

That actually makes a ton of sense. Thanks dude that’s probably true

Fire Nation and Air Nomads were super close friends at the time though. Even Roku never thought Sozin might go that far until Sozin attempted to assassinate him - and only partially failed, Roku died soon after. It’s unlikely that the Air Nomads in general considered the Fire Nation to be a serious threat. Some like Gyatso obviously suspected something, but that’s hardly enough to cut off such a celebration, especially when Gyatso had so little control even over Aang’s growth. Nonetheless it seems likely Ty Lee is probably heavily influenced by Airbender movement styles. Heck, it’s practically confirmed by the RPG book directly associating Chi blocking with Airbending, and then making that an influential movement in the Fire Nation during Roku’s life.

And Sozin definitely would be the kind of person to plan his raid during a time where he'd be sure to get most if not all airbenders the easiest, so yeah i don't think that many were missed

Or the fact if the fire nation was targeting them the air temples were literally impossible to invade until the commit. There was no flight tech back then but we see fire benders can use fire to fly during the comet. There for it's likely that they were hiding there in the temples.

Ty Lee the air ender

@@cheesemani9217 lol, didn’t realize the typo.

I think it would have been a real mind f*ck for both Hang and Azula and it could have been an interesting arc to explore: Azula would either cast her out or have to keep it secret. Or maybe the reveal could have been during the prison escape where she turns against Azula. It would have explained her mental breakdown even more at the end.

@@fredbyoutubing OOH YEAH!! I bet Azula would want to weaponize Ty Lee-and threaten to expose her if she defected.

Ty Lee would only truly be an Air Nomad if she embraced the Air Nomad lifestyle. Otherwise she would be Fire Nation with Air Nomad bloodline.
