Ty Lee looks almost like a female version of Aang. She is also very light on her feet and can perform really hard tricks in the air. So I think the theory that she might be an airbender, or be at least related to them is true
Also, having knowledge of how Chi flows seems to be more or less exclusive to the Air Nomads. Air nomads' tattoos are representative of the chi pathways. No other culture really focused on chi in that way. It would make sense that, while Ty Lee's air nomad ancestor couldn't teach air bending, they passed on the knowledge of chi. (If i am wrong please correct me! I haven't read everything!)
Her fighting style isn’t the only thing that resembles air bending. She literally did a handstand on her fingertips.

They wouldn’t reveal themselves because they can’t trust the world. Also a large part of air nomad teaching was detachment from the world
It's hard to tell because from that theory, air nomads chose to hide their identity. And since it has been a 100 years, most of the refugees were already old and passed away, plus they had the options to not talking about their past to their own spouses and decendants.
The only reason bumi was alive to see aang is because he was aang's age at the start of the war, a child, and an earthbender (with kiyoshi we learn that there are earth bending techniques to slow aging)
Even when Aang was revealed earth benders were still being taken away by the fire nation. Plus if they survived they survived Because they were good at not revealing themselves even to their children. If they were still alive by the time they heard of Aang I would think it was another trap. I think that unless you specifically taught your children to bend they would never learn and know.

Agreed. I always though TyLee was a descendant of airbenders because of how she moved and how she fit in with the Keyoshi Warriors. Kyoshi mother was an airbender. Which was why she could use fans (thus airbending) to amplify her earthbending.
You’re all pretty dumb cos the “new” airbenders were angs son and grandchildren and why would Tylee be an air bender the way she moved like that is because she was in a circus and was a martial arts expert.
And if ur talking about the random airbenders that’s because Korea opened the spirit portal and people learned it from the descendants but it wasn’t open before
The fact that Bumi, Aang’s non-bender child received airbending powers is strong evidence that the people given airbending powers weren’t at all “random”.

@@javajaker1042 bruh do your research , it's actually true. (Edit:it's not lol I was dumb) Edit : stop replying to me , I have learned my lesson lmfao.
Actually, there is one airbender that survived the whole time , guess who? Appa. It was Appa. On the episode where aang tried to improve his firebendong and met the 2 last dragons, he said he needed to find the original source, for earth it was badger moles, for air it was air bisons.
The fire nation had 100 years to root out the airbenders, and the fire nation was incredibly powerful. They didn't find Aang because he was frozen in ice.
Also, notice how we never see a new air bender from the fire nation of the water tribes. If the surviving sir benders lived in the earth kingdom only, then that makes sense.
it's not like that, u silly. it's like himalayan people migrating to china. they migrate there because china is a giant nation with giant population. hard to detect.
There’s a pothole in their theory it’s very possible that the harmonic convergence gives people bending to keep balance so there will always be benders
If I can elaborate, it’s possible that because of Jinora’s unique connection with the light that after reviving Raava there must have been a spiritual reaction combined with the amplification of the portals being left open that her air bending was able to be passed on to the new benders. To relate back to the video, Jinora was the key to unlocking her descendants airbending abilities that were left hidden throughout the earth kingdom.
@@cschultz235 that is a good point but it is highly unlikely it’s more likely that every 10,000 years people gain bending at random in case any benders get wiped out
@@cschultz235 it’s more likely that people actually gain bending every 10,000 years (harmonic convergence). Because looking at the first harmonic convergence in avatar wan’s time, that was when people started to get bending so lion turtles could stop giving it to people. Same thing this harmonic convergence with korra gave random people air bending in order to restore the balance, as airbending got extinct
From what I remember, I thought it was harmonic convergence that re-awoken the already latent "air bending" ability of the new air nomads. They already had an "air bender" spirit or quality (genes maybe) in them that had to be activated at the right time. And/or, they are the reincarnations of those airbenders killed in the genocide.
He said that Monk Gyatso died in the "western air temple" when actually Monk Gyatso died in the Southern Air temple. Not only that when he pulled up a picture of the western air temple he called it the "Eastern Air temple". This man does not know what he is talking about. I wouldn't take this video seriously if I were you. This is merely a theory.
Damn, I thought I was the only one who made this point, but I’m glad more people caught it! Makes me less likely to watch their videos if they can’t get the basics right.
In an episode titled “the beginning” in legend of Korra, she loses her memories and goes to one of the sages temples to get healed after she was found unconscious. The keeper said “we’ve been raising this herd of air bison since the hundred year war.” Not much of broad ex but I think it’s safe to say that some airbenders relocated there too
my theory is that aang’s old friend Kuzon helped save/ hide an air nomad refugee from the war in the fire nation, specifically from the western air temple as they east and west were all female and the western air temple was very close to the sun warriors and fire nation in general, also as we see in korra there were fire nation acolytes who hid air culture and teachings like breeding bison. Kuzon was one of aangs best friends and so i think it’s safe to assume when war broke out he was NOT in support of killing air nomads. he probably helped a bunch but fell in love with one and had a family, since kuzon was friends with aang also he could have been an elite member of fire nation society as aang was the avatar, even tho he didn’t know it the leaders did when he was a baby and he traveled with gyatso who was also friends with roku, who was of upper society. i think they were able to hide it well enough and keep enough of the history under wraps but within the family hence why ty lee knows chi blocking, i think she fixed up her acrobatics in the circus but i beleive she knew chi blocking since being a child and that’s why in flashbacks she would do back flips and stuff, her family teaching her self defense in secret but hiding it as just a gymnastics hobby.
@@Yoursxx ???? yeah 100 years later after he was trapped in an iceberg??? when i say kuzon i mean his friend from BEFORE the war and i’m not saying whether or not there’s AIRBENDERS i’m talking about AIR NATION. simply the people who were from the air temples, in korra they show that people came from multiple different nations like bolin and mako, clearly all the air benders didn’t just die the moment aang left.. there’s canon proof that air benders did escape the attacks but they were led to caves to be captured by fire soldiers so there could be people alive who were ethnically air nation just not air benders like if a fire soldier had a kid with an air nation woman and it was a fire bender... still half air nation but would be safe to walk around in public
I assume the OP is meaning if there were secret airbenders training new gens of them in secret throughout and after the 100 years war... not the new Convergence Nomads that popped up afterward. They didn’t face as much adversity as an entire dominating culture and military.
Imagine the plotwist: the white lotus was secretely hiding some old airbender and at the end of Alta Iroh told to Aang the truth and meet his old child friends that now has grew up and have the age of Bumi. I think I would diiiiiiiiie
@@SuperNova1701 Aang was the last air bender before the birth of Tenzin and in the show "The Last Airbender" he is technically the LAST HUMAN KNOWN AIRBENDER
@@anjaysteryeetyeet1212 and that is why there were definitely absolutely 100% certainly NOOOOOOOOOO air bison in Korra. (edited because apparently 90% of people don't understand sarcasm)
Okay but you're forgetting that after the invasion of the air nomads temples, it was a hundred years before aang had reappeared. Which means fire nation would have had within a hundred years to kill all Air nomads. So yes Aang was The Last Airbender.
That's not that long and ignores genetics and the fact that Air-benders look the same as everybody else. And also that they can fly. It's just a silly kids show and they made him the last Airbender for story reasons, people should not think too much on it.
Appa was not the last sky bison. There is a heard in legend of Korra. So they must at least have found a female. As for Zuko's dragon, one could think the last 2 dragons were a male and a female. But my theory is that the egg they find at the sun warriors temple is an actual egg and Zuko was meant to find it.
My thought was always why this is why air bending appeared in so many people after harmonic convergence, they actually were descendants of those who survived.
I agree one hundred percent, I feel the makers might not want to reveal everything to us, this is great detective work. And for me the biggest evidence is Zaheer and his natural ability to air bend without any prior teaching; probably due to his spiritual and combat background. THIS DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN. Thank you so much, CBR.
It makes a lot of sense as to why Zaheer studied airbending so much. He probably knew of his descendants. Harmonic Convergence just gave him opportunity to utilize it.
He was a deeply spiritual non bender most of his life. Learning about airbender philosophy might've given him a hopeful outlook on life. Yes, he was most likely a descendant, but he most likely didn't know he was going to attain airbending
Also, lion turtles didn't pass bending down to animals which on their turn passed it onto humans. Humans got it from lion turtles and were TAUGHT by the animals.
yes from the moment I learned that the air nomad were destroyed my personal belief was "Aang is the last realised and proficient airbender. There are other who have the gift but no formation, like episode 1 Katara with her waterbending."
The descendants idea is actually a good way to think of it the recessive genes and spiritual points are pretty good. Harmonic convergence allows the “avatar” saga to continue or be revived indefinitely. A couple time skips and air benders will be everywhere
The avatar gained the ability to bend all four elements before connecting with rava. They obtained this ability through the lion turtles. Rava only gives them the ability to control all four at the same time.
Rava gave the avatar the ability to survive being able to bend more than one element. The avatar got it before the turtle gave him the 2nd element bending ability.
This kinda reminds me of the Jedi in Star Wars in that there were several that did survive, went into hiding and had families. But by the end of the original trilogy, there were only a few that we know of. The time frame in Avatar is more than 3x as long. Case in point, it’s possible either way. That was a good idea about air nomads speaking refuge in the Fire Nation. Hiding in plain sight - genius!
I always knew Ty Lee was too similar to Aang to not have a connection to the Air Nomads, she's totally an Airbender descendant, her sisters too. That theory of some Airbenders hiding out in Earth Kingdom makes sense too, it's just like the Saiyans from DBZ there's gotta be more than one that escaped extinction.
I think your theory is spot on! I have often wondered myself how could no air nomads survived when they are in fact nomads and had flying bison. In the comic and in Legend of Korra they touch on how not all bison where eliminated and how they were secretly raising them, so if thats the case "how could they hide huge bison and yet air nomads couldnt?". As humans wouldnt it be easier for them to blend in with other nations? So yeah, I agree. Being that the series was called "the last airbender" they couldnt just show more of them, but as you pointed out there is no real evidence that they were all wiped out or that they were not able to just blend in with other nations. There's also a plot hole on how the new air benders in LOK came to be. Harmonic conversion did not create benders, it was the lion turtles that had the ability to release or block (when they took their powers back) their CHI. Another way could be how Guru Pathik helped aang unblock his Chi to become the avatar. So it would make more sense that a Guru like the onion soup eating Pathik (bleh) lol could help future air benders unblock their Chi, aka air bending.
This could be true, But no other air benders were shown in ATLA and TLOK (Except The Airbenders came after Harmonic Convergence and only in Flashbacks )
I think this video was really well put together and made a whole lot of sense I believe you are probably right of course there's no way to absolutely know for sure without the creators confirming it with an interview or source material amazing video keep up the amazing work
Maybe the fisherman in the episode "The Storm" was a surviving Air Nomad that's why he seemed to be personally mad at Aang for running away, blaming him for the state of the world.
Ok here's my opinion I think that the guru was an air bender who gave up his spirituality. He said he knew monk geotzo (I don't know how to spell his name) but geotzo was with aang a Lot and only air bender could get to temples( until the fire nation attacked)
Yeah, you did miss something. The young air benders; they had air bison of their own. As you can recall in the dream sequence. They may be nomads, I'm certain they did take precautions and had a secret temple. I'm guessing underground; they asked the Earth benders to construct it a hidden sanctuary. For light some of the earth benders are crystal benders; use piezo mechanics to create light and cleverly designed air intakes. Only one master survived to hide, teach and protect them.
Chi blocking would have been the perfect defense strategy for living among fire benders.. It was certainly not a firing bending trait and even toph admitted that Ty Lee was light on her feet aka "twinkle toes"
This actually makes a lot a sense to why all those random people became air benders in the legend of Kora. I guess it wasn’t so random after all. They could have all descended from air benders who forgot their way in order to survive 👀👏🏾
monk Gyatso was in the southern air temple, the mechanist was at the northern air temple, guru Pathik was at the eastern air temple, and the western air temple that is all upside down was deserted.
I actually agree to this theory. To begin with i always thought that it was weird that all the airbenders were killed by the fire nation. Like, couldn't they fly away with their stick. I mean, i'm sure some kids could have escaped while the teachers were opposing the fire nation. As regard Ty Lee i never thought of it but i LOVE IT very much. She never paired with Azula, she is kind of heart and really similar to Aang. I think she would have maid a great AirBender if she would have appeared in Korra.
Great now i want to know what happened to Ty Lee during the Legend of Korra because if she is a descendant of a Air nomad and just got her air bending abilities because of the convergence between the spirit world and they're world what could've been her first reaction towards her new skills ?
@@erpmo3326 surviving doesn’t mean you have to give up being able to live in broad daylight, as in, you survived, why do you have to keep living in the sewer in fear? Not living is like, you’re alive but you’re dead inside and constantly afraid, I guess
Am I the only one who finds it cringey when someone pretends to be a character from a movie or show in the comments? (They'd have their name and picture, and comment things like they're them.)
Maybe. However, if we're going by any genetic level of bending, Aang isn't going to know for cetain if anyone is going to get airbending specfically if he does it on a non bender. He doesn't know if they're ancestors to his people and even if they weren't he might accidentally give a person water, earth, or even fire beding instead.
wait... if Opal became an airbender after the Harmonic Convergence, does that mean either the Beifong family or Bataar Senior has some air nomad heritage?
^the guys theory is that aang;s probably the last airbender during his season, but there were probably former air nomads hiding in the earth kingdom, who had desendents by the time korra happened
@@paulghencea9037 they had 100 years to kill them all, and considering the outreach the fire nation had on the world, it is very likely they completed their genocide. They managed to kill all but 2 of the waterbenders from the southern water tribe, and Hamma didn't have children.
The narrator got the air temples wrong. The Temple suspended off the underside of the cliff is the Western Air Temple. The Southern Air Temple is where Aang is from and where Monk Gyatso was found. The Northern Air Temple, like the narrator said, is home to refugees and a fire nation workshop. And the Eastern Air Temple is where Guru Patik lives and where he tied the note for Aang on Appa’s horn.
We know some air nomads survived, they were even encountered in ATLA. It's quite plausible that some of them had recessive air-bending genes. But your theory explains well why so many new air-benders appeared in the Earth Kingdom specifically, in LoK.
This was actually touched-on in Korra... Basically, the air nomads had mostly been in the same Places... the air temples... And hadn't been Nomads in a very long time.. After the reemergence, and training of the new Airbenders... The do indeed become air nomads again, helping abroad
Even by the end of Korra, it isn't. They did that whole silly convergence thing, but handing a bunch of normies airbending powers isn't going to magically restore an entire culture. They even show Tenzin really struggling with the newcomers to get them to understand and abide by Air Nomad rules.

Actually, there is one airbender that survived the whole time , guess who?

Could be legends, could be a fortune teller, heck, maybe the flying bisons.

exactly thank you!
Surviving by going to the earth kingdom. Earth is the element of survival. This show will never cease to amaze me.
Also, notice how we never see a new air bender from the fire nation of the water tribes. If the surviving sir benders lived in the earth kingdom only, then that makes sense.
it's not like that, u silly.
it's like himalayan people migrating to china. they migrate there because china is a giant nation with giant population. hard to detect.
There’s a pothole in their theory it’s very possible that the harmonic convergence gives people bending to keep balance so there will always be benders
If im not mistaken i think what u said is the legit explanation in the show.
If I can elaborate, it’s possible that because of Jinora’s unique connection with the light that after reviving Raava there must have been a spiritual reaction combined with the amplification of the portals being left open that her air bending was able to be passed on to the new benders. To relate back to the video, Jinora was the key to unlocking her descendants airbending abilities that were left hidden throughout the earth kingdom.
@@cschultz235 that is a good point but it is highly unlikely it’s more likely that every 10,000 years people gain bending at random in case any benders get wiped out
@@cschultz235 it’s more likely that people actually gain bending every 10,000 years (harmonic convergence). Because looking at the first harmonic convergence in avatar wan’s time, that was when people started to get bending so lion turtles could stop giving it to people. Same thing this harmonic convergence with korra gave random people air bending in order to restore the balance, as airbending got extinct
From what I remember, I thought it was harmonic convergence that re-awoken the already latent "air bending" ability of the new air nomads. They already had an "air bender" spirit or quality (genes maybe) in them that had to be activated at the right time. And/or, they are the reincarnations of those airbenders killed in the genocide.
He said that Monk Gyatso died in the "western air temple" when actually Monk Gyatso died in the Southern Air temple. Not only that when he pulled up a picture of the western air temple he called it the "Eastern Air temple". This man does not know what he is talking about. I wouldn't take this video seriously if I were you. This is merely a theory.
I am like wtf
Lmaoooooo they don't have any idea what they're saying in most vids lol
Plus, the western and eastern air temples are reserved for nuns only
Damn, I thought I was the only one who made this point, but I’m glad more people caught it! Makes me less likely to watch their videos if they can’t get the basics right.
@@FilthyCazualGamer Right! I’m definitely not watching CBS no more, clearly their “facts” aren’t factual
When you realize that Zaheer is actually an air nomad who literally tried to vipe out his own people and throw the world in chaos.
When you realize that zaheer got his bending the same way bumi did, but are still amazed of how he managed to train *himself*
was actually waiting to hear that
In an episode titled “the beginning” in legend of Korra, she loses her memories and goes to one of the sages temples to get healed after she was found unconscious. The keeper said “we’ve been raising this herd of air bison since the hundred year war.” Not much of broad ex but I think it’s safe to say that some airbenders relocated there too
Note that Aang was not the last air nomad but he actually was the last airbender until the birth of Tenzin
my theory is that aang’s old friend Kuzon helped save/ hide an air nomad refugee from the war in the fire nation, specifically from the western air temple as they east and west were all female and the western air temple was very close to the sun warriors and fire nation in general, also as we see in korra there were fire nation acolytes who hid air culture and teachings like breeding bison. Kuzon was one of aangs best friends and so i think it’s safe to assume when war broke out he was NOT in support of killing air nomads. he probably helped a bunch but fell in love with one and had a family, since kuzon was friends with aang also he could have been an elite member of fire nation society as aang was the avatar, even tho he didn’t know it the leaders did when he was a baby and he traveled with gyatso who was also friends with roku, who was of upper society. i think they were able to hide it well enough and keep enough of the history under wraps but within the family hence why ty lee knows chi blocking, i think she fixed up her acrobatics in the circus but i beleive she knew chi blocking since being a child and that’s why in flashbacks she would do back flips and stuff, her family teaching her self defense in secret but hiding it as just a gymnastics hobby.
i am not reading all of that
@@kxv3k crazy how no one was asking or begging you to
@@benjaminsurrette3034 ok bud 😂
I don't that may be true the show obviously showed he was that last HUMAN airbender
@@Yoursxx ???? yeah 100 years later after he was trapped in an iceberg??? when i say kuzon i mean his friend from BEFORE the war and i’m not saying whether or not there’s AIRBENDERS i’m talking about AIR NATION. simply the people who were from the air temples, in korra they show that people came from multiple different nations like bolin and mako, clearly all the air benders didn’t just die the moment aang left.. there’s canon proof that air benders did escape the attacks but they were led to caves to be captured by fire soldiers so there could be people alive who were ethnically air nation just not air benders like if a fire soldier had a kid with an air nation woman and it was a fire bender... still half air nation but would be safe to walk around in public
What would happen if there was a group of surviving air benders who were training a new generation of air benders?
They’d be more secretive and underground than the Mandalorians on Navarro
watch book 3 of korra
I assume the OP is meaning if there were secret airbenders training new gens of them in secret throughout and after the 100 years war... not the new Convergence Nomads that popped up afterward. They didn’t face as much adversity as an entire dominating culture and military.
Like kung fu pandas family ?
@@cisme2811 YA i guess
Imagine the plotwist: the white lotus was secretely hiding some old airbender and at the end of Alta Iroh told to Aang the truth and meet his old child friends that now has grew up and have the age of Bumi. I think I would diiiiiiiiie
The show is called...
The last air bender.
LOK: only has 5 Airbender prior to book 3
i mean those air benders came from aang's family tree
4 of them are descendants of Aang and the last one is Aang’s next life. Bruh.

“Surviving does not mean stop living, though...”
Yes, we’re well aware.
Okay but you're forgetting that after the invasion of the air nomads temples, it was a hundred years before aang had reappeared. Which means fire nation would have had within a hundred years to kill all Air nomads. So yes Aang was The Last Airbender.
That's not that long and ignores genetics and the fact that Air-benders look the same as everybody else. And also that they can fly.
It's just a silly kids show and they made him the last Airbender for story reasons, people should not think too much on it.
The Super Carlin Brothers made an excellent video proposing the theory that Ty Lee is actually an Air Nomad or is at least descended from them.
Yeah
This is why we need a sequel to tie everything up and this dude needs to apply for the job with this video.

Appa was not the last sky bison. There is a heard in legend of Korra. So they must at least have found a female. As for Zuko's dragon, one could think the last 2 dragons were a male and a female. But my theory is that the egg they find at the sun warriors temple is an actual egg and Zuko was meant to find it.

Well i mean in the show he was the last airbender and he is that last HUMAN airbender
My thought was always why this is why air bending appeared in so many people after harmonic convergence, they actually were descendants of those who survived.
I agree one hundred percent, I feel the makers might not want to reveal everything to us, this is great detective work. And for me the biggest evidence is Zaheer and his natural ability to air bend without any prior teaching; probably due to his spiritual and combat background. THIS DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN. Thank you so much, CBR.
Maby that is why tie Lee has so much siblings. Because her mother maby wanted a daughter that could airbend?
Maybe* Ty lee*

@@theoutcast9215 no i was correctinf them for saying Tie
and i didnt know that sorry
It makes a lot of sense as to why Zaheer studied airbending so much. He probably knew of his descendants. Harmonic Convergence just gave him opportunity to utilize it.
He was a deeply spiritual non bender most of his life. Learning about airbender philosophy might've given him a hopeful outlook on life. Yes, he was most likely a descendant, but he most likely didn't know he was going to attain airbending
and when he finally mastered it he used it to escape and try to put the world in chaos
This makes sense. It also explains why the "new" air benders were so rare.
CBR certainly knows how to keep content goin
Also, lion turtles didn't pass bending down to animals which on their turn passed it onto humans. Humans got it from lion turtles and were TAUGHT by the animals.
yes from the moment I learned that the air nomad were destroyed my personal belief was "Aang is the last realised and proficient airbender. There are other who have the gift but no formation, like episode 1 Katara with her waterbending."
NoOne:
Literally NoOne:
Aangs teeth: 00:07
Lol its the same as the background I think its not there
It’s transparent
The descendants idea is actually a good way to think of it the recessive genes and spiritual points are pretty good. Harmonic convergence allows the “avatar” saga to continue or be revived indefinitely. A couple time skips and air benders will be everywhere
The avatar gained the ability to bend all four elements before connecting with rava. They obtained this ability through the lion turtles. Rava only gives them the ability to control all four at the same time.
Rava gave the avatar the ability to survive being able to bend more than one element. The avatar got it before the turtle gave him the 2nd element bending ability.
This kinda reminds me of the Jedi in Star Wars in that there were several that did survive, went into hiding and had families. But by the end of the original trilogy, there were only a few that we know of. The time frame in Avatar is more than 3x as long. Case in point, it’s possible either way. That was a good idea about air nomads speaking refuge in the Fire Nation. Hiding in plain sight - genius!
Well, according to air nomads culture and monks's teachings,
Air nomads would die but won't give away their culture
What would have happened if we saw these surviving air benders in the last episode of Avatar the last Airbender after Zuko becomes Fire Lord?
I always knew Ty Lee was too similar to Aang to not have a connection to the Air Nomads, she's totally an Airbender descendant, her sisters too. That theory of some Airbenders hiding out in Earth Kingdom makes sense too, it's just like the Saiyans from DBZ there's gotta be more than one that escaped extinction.
I think your theory is spot on! I have often wondered myself how could no air nomads survived when they are in fact nomads and had flying bison. In the comic and in Legend of Korra they touch on how not all bison where eliminated and how they were secretly raising them, so if thats the case "how could they hide huge bison and yet air nomads couldnt?". As humans wouldnt it be easier for them to blend in with other nations? So yeah, I agree.
Being that the series was called "the last airbender" they couldnt just show more of them, but as you pointed out there is no real evidence that they were all wiped out or that they were not able to just blend in with other nations. There's also a plot hole on how the new air benders in LOK came to be. Harmonic conversion did not create benders, it was the lion turtles that had the ability to release or block (when they took their powers back) their CHI. Another way could be how Guru Pathik helped aang unblock his Chi to become the avatar. So it would make more sense that a Guru like the onion soup eating Pathik (bleh) lol could help future air benders unblock their Chi, aka air bending.
Next on cbr : sokka is actually a Avatar and never knows it.
i actually wish Sokka was a waterbender but blocked and found out when his sister almost died or something. imagine the excitement he wouldve had
My man brought avatar and biological factors together big brained 🧠

“Don’t do that to my childhood”
This could be true, But no other air benders were shown in ATLA and TLOK (Except The Airbenders came after Harmonic Convergence and only in Flashbacks )
I think this video was really well put together and made a whole lot of sense I believe you are probably right of course there's no way to absolutely know for sure without the creators confirming it with an interview or source material amazing video keep up the amazing work
Great theory I love it!
Maybe the fisherman in the episode "The Storm" was a surviving Air Nomad that's why he seemed to be personally mad at Aang for running away, blaming him for the state of the world.
Wouldn't an air nomad explicitly not be mad? That's kind of their whole thing
Sephryn True, but the Fisherman isn't like a 100 years old like King Bumi nor Monk Gyaso, he could have been a grandson of the surviving Air Nomad.

@@WobblesandBean exactly my dudes, the person in this video is theorizing but keeps saying he's proven aang wrong. Seriously tarded
@@wngdhssr no it real aang isn’t the last air bender
He is the last KNOWN airbender, there has to be at least 1 other airbenders out there
Ok here's my opinion I think that the guru was an air bender who gave up his spirituality. He said he knew monk geotzo (I don't know how to spell his name) but geotzo was with aang a Lot and only air bender could get to temples( until the fire nation attacked)
Yeah, you did miss something. The young air benders; they had air bison of their own. As you can recall in the dream sequence. They may be nomads, I'm certain they did take precautions and had a secret temple. I'm guessing underground; they asked the Earth benders to construct it a hidden sanctuary. For light some of the earth benders are crystal benders; use piezo mechanics to create light and cleverly designed air intakes. Only one master survived to hide, teach and protect them.
Chi blocking would have been the perfect defense strategy for living among fire benders.. It was certainly not a firing bending trait and even toph admitted that Ty Lee was light on her feet aka "twinkle toes"
This actually makes a lot a sense to why all those random people became air benders in the legend of Kora. I guess it wasn’t so random after all. They could have all descended from air benders who forgot their way in order to survive 👀👏🏾
monk Gyatso was in the southern air temple, the mechanist was at the northern air temple, guru Pathik was at the eastern air temple, and the western air temple that is all upside down was deserted.
I actually agree to this theory. To begin with i always thought that it was weird that all the airbenders were killed by the fire nation. Like, couldn't they fly away with their stick. I mean, i'm sure some kids could have escaped while the teachers were opposing the fire nation.
As regard Ty Lee i never thought of it but i LOVE IT very much. She never paired with Azula, she is kind of heart and really similar to Aang. I think she would have maid a great AirBender if she would have appeared in Korra.
Great now i want to know what happened to Ty Lee during the Legend of Korra because if she is a descendant of a Air nomad and just got her air bending abilities because of the convergence between the spirit world and they're world what could've been her first reaction towards her new skills ?
Then what was my childhood?

Reminds me of Muggle born wizards in HP. They are descended from sqiubs so had an inactive magical gene.

i think tylee was a air acolyte
edit: nvm this was mentioned
you know what's weird he actually is the last Airbender until he rebuilds them. These videos get worse and worse
If they stopped being airbenders, that means Aang was THE LAST AIRBENDER
but i just had a theory couldnt aang give people airbending with the airbending lion turtle as we learned in korra
Perhaps they could
Maybe. However, if we're going by any genetic level of bending, Aang isn't going to know for cetain if anyone is going to get airbending specfically if he does it on a non bender. He doesn't know if they're ancestors to his people and even if they weren't he might accidentally give a person water, earth, or even fire beding instead.
Wish there could’ve been 2 avatars at the same time 😂 more often
You’re right aang wasn’t the last air bender appa and momo were also airbenders
yep
I have to admit, I wasn't expecting much from this video.. but your theory seems Right.👍🏾💯

i think other than the fact that he mixed up the air temples, the other stuff he said had somewhat of a possibility for a THEORY😂
Omg when the CREATORS of it say he’s the LAST they mean the last
They also confirmed Ty lee is a descendant of air bender
^the guys theory is that aang;s probably the last airbender during his season, but there were probably former air nomads hiding in the earth kingdom, who had desendents by the time korra happened
It's nearly imposible to kill every single person from any given country
@@lol-ye9jx when did they confirm it?
@@paulghencea9037 they had 100 years to kill them all, and considering the outreach the fire nation had on the world, it is very likely they completed their genocide. They managed to kill all but 2 of the waterbenders from the southern water tribe, and Hamma didn't have children.
The narrator got the air temples wrong. The Temple suspended off the underside of the cliff is the Western Air Temple. The Southern Air Temple is where Aang is from and where Monk Gyatso was found. The Northern Air Temple, like the narrator said, is home to refugees and a fire nation workshop. And the Eastern Air Temple is where Guru Patik lives and where he tied the note for Aang on Appa’s horn.
Aang: I’m the last airbender in the world.
Appa: what am I to you?
Aang:
Aang:your an airbender
We know some air nomads survived, they were even encountered in ATLA. It's quite plausible that some of them had recessive air-bending genes. But your theory explains well why so many new air-benders appeared in the Earth Kingdom specifically, in LoK.
Which episode. I'm curious about your answer, because I know for a fact no other living Air Nomads were ever e encountered whatsoever.
3:28 DID HE SAY KING GUMI!?!?!?!?!?!?

plot twist her parents chi blocked most of her bending abilities so she wouldnt be exposed as an airbender and could live freely in the fire nation
But yo don’t know if the air bender were rebuild
Even by the end of Korra, it isn't. They did that whole silly convergence thing, but handing a bunch of normies airbending powers isn't going to magically restore an entire culture. They even show Tenzin really struggling with the newcomers to get them to understand and abide by Air Nomad rules.
