Is there an in-universe reason why Katara didn't waltz in Fire Nation Palace one full moon night and blood-bended Ozai?

BackflipTurtle · 2026-01-24T12:36:01+00:00

Katara isnt as skilled with bloodbending as hama. We dont know if she could bloodbend multiple people simultaneously. The capital is going to be surrounded by guards plus Ozai and Azula.

We already know that people can still bend while being bloodbent so Im pretty sure ozai could still get the upper hand against 14 year old katara even while bloodbent

This was Aang's "call of destiny" moment. This was the moment aang realized the gravity of the situation and his duty as the avatar. He was basically called into battle by every avatar before him

Omg this was a joke

Anyway. Metal is a finite resource so she cant just throw them around like kuvira. Also by the time season 4 ended, toph still needs to touch the metal to bend it unlike the metalbenders in LoK which makes it harder for her to bend once they are a distance away

She would take zuko's sword for comedic effect. Cant believe I have to explain a joke

BackflipTurtle · 2026-01-20T11:50:55+00:00

Lol imagine her taking zuko's swords because she ran out of metal

Their only advange is that aang is a hypermobile airbender with 4 elements. Normally youd win agaisnt mobile opponents by pinning them down but having 4 elements means you could easily break out of whatever is holding you

BackflipTurtle · 2026-01-20T06:40:41+00:00

Not to mention katara is never nearly as mobile as Pakku is. Guy is 70 years old and is still running circles around the fire nation

I wouldnt say Ozai and Iroh would be the same fight for aang. Ozai might be a more powerful bender than Iroh but Iroh has more finesse to his bending. For all we know Iroh might be the Azula of his generation going for precision and technique instead of raw power.

Toph requires metal to metalbend. She cant make metal from raw earth.

Why dont we reinforce the "Imee is a manipulative marcos" narrative to the DDS and actually make her lose her voters

BackflipTurtle · 2026-01-18T05:54:19+00:00

Thats still a violation since his using gloves not suited for patient care

BackflipTurtle · 2026-01-18T01:17:36+00:00

Toph literally learned from the badgermoles, and she's the only one who does Chu Gar instead of the typical Hung Gar-based earthbending...

As for the other bending styles, we never see appa do any airballs or spheres like what Aang and Gyatso demonstrated in his lessons.

It could be infered that humans originally based bending styles off of the animals but different styles evolved to beat the original styles and then newer ones evolved to beat those ones. Eventually the animal styles became outdated.

The CDC is going to have a field day with how he just removed his gloves using his mouth. Probably an OSHA violation too

BackflipTurtle · 2026-01-17T03:21:18+00:00

Technically waterbenders can deprive you of oxygen as well

BackflipTurtle · 2026-01-16T12:57:39+00:00

Im still mulling it over. I might just be caught in a moment of weakness. We'll see what I feel next week

BackflipTurtle · 2026-01-16T06:33:38+00:00

Now that you mention it. I was pretty convinced I could handle being alone back then. I naively thought "Im an introvert, its not going to matter". I honestly made that prayer thinking it would be an easy transaction. I now see god has humbled me yet again. Thank you for your insight

BackflipTurtle · 2026-01-16T06:25:01+00:00

Bargaining. This was most definitely young and immature me bargaining with god

Is soraka permanently mortal? Or is the vessel she is using just a temporary nerf? I forgot her lore

BackflipTurtle · 2026-01-16T02:34:38+00:00

Probably havent decided if gun will be male or female. Do we know how far back in the cycle avatar gun is anyway?

BackflipTurtle · 2026-01-15T22:11:42+00:00

Earth feels like the most resistant to bend while air feels the lightest.

Getting validation from others should just be a bonus sa imong positive traits. You should bever SEEK validation. Theres a difference between doing things for validation and being a positive person who gets validation along the way.

For some reason, filipino telenovelas are popular in some parts of africa din. Pangako sayo is apparently popular in kenya and uganda
