The reason that Hama was so scared of Katara was because she acted like an Earthbender for that block. Instead of using Waterbending form to catch and redirect the water, she planted her feet, and destroyed the attack like and Earthbender would do to a rock thrown at them. The greatest benders look outside their element for techniques (like how Iroh invented Lightning redirection by studying Waterbenders)
That's why, in order to master an element you need to learn all other techniques. Zuko learnt all styles and used them against Azula. Dragon style for power in his firebending, air style by using his momentum to boost his attacks, earthbending to block attacks and water bending to redirect lightning
@@ErykRoll As stated, it did. I wasn’t watching horror movies at 6 and 7 when this was airing. The horror conventions the creators filled the episode with were unfamiliar to me.
@@androkguz On Earth the moon is full about every 30 days. That means that about every 4 weeks you can control anyone. Honestly, Katara, Aang and Toph could attack at night of a full moon and kill the Fire Lord pretty easily.
@@IamnotJohnFord earthbending masters would have it even easier. They could just borrow into the palace of the fire lord, tremorsensing their way into it, and stab him in the back.
@androkguz not if the palace is created with a bunch of steel like their prisons. Not every earth bender could do metal bending so assassination attempt avoided. Plus if u trained in blood bending long enough a full moon is no longer required
@@DerekAwesome101 1- both Yun and Tieguan (very op earthbenders, mind you) managed to get inside the palace without much trouble. And this was before the invention of metal bending. In Korra's time, metal bending is sufficiently common too. But in Aangs time, the firelord is protected by a bunch of snipers and mechs and things that easily outrange a bloodbender
Poor Hama. Life of suffering. Bloodbending is indeed dark arts, akin to violating another human. A technique to be used only in dire consequences. A good skill to know, to be sure.
It still amazes me how this one Waterbending technique caused so much conversation in the community when this episode dropped. Taken even further when Korra came along in its first season. Still badass to see
@Squeekysquid Simple, the bad guys are people who are either trying to actively kill you or kill innocent people. Sozin, for example, was clearly a bad guy since he ordered the mass murder of an entire nation of innocent people. Blood bending is no more unethical than using fire bending to roast your opponent alive, but fire bending isn't illegal. Blood bending is not inherently wrong. It's a useful skill to have if you're being attacked by numerous people. Yea, it takes away free will, but a lot of people deserve that. A man like Ozai who mutilated his own son and tried to murder a child deserves to get blood bent.
@Squeekysquid Like, bruh, if you're surrounded by 20 firebenders all coming at you, I'm pretty sure you'd want bloodbending in that situation. The skill isn't immoral when used on people who are clearly trying to hurt you or others. Just like any element, it becomes wrong ONLY when used on innocent people.
@@controlman7490the skill itself is immoral because it’s entire foundation is forcing your will over another persons and imposing upon them to control their every move, it can easily kill someone by the slightest hand tremble. Just because someone you face evil does not mean your own evil is justified
@@jackofastora8962Immoral to you, not to me. We have different morals. I understand your subjective viewpoint, but I disagree with it entirely. There is nothing intrinsically evil about blood bending. Like every other element the user is what makes the skill malicious or not. Katara is proof that blood bending can be used for good. She used it for defense against people who were attacking her and her friends. That's a good thing. Using blood bending to control/kill someone who is a threat in general is a good thing as well, so had Katara used blood bending to snap Ozai's neck that is also a good thing since Ozai is a threat to the entire planet. And no, using brutality against an evil person is justified. Someone like Sozin deserves the pain of being blood bent since he mass murdered entire temples of innocent people. I think most people would agree with that.
@@controlman7490 No, it is objectively evil. Your entire last paragraph also shows that you didn’t understand the show whatsoever. The whole point is that whole objectivity is malleable and changeable, it still fundamentally exists- but just because it does, it doesn’t make certain things ok. In the entire series the main characters never intentionally kill people in grotesque or over the top ways, it’s always a swift and near painless death regardless of who they are facing- and it can be argued it was also indirect killings through the environment and other factors. Point being, they never take up the mantle of “it’s ok to fight evil with evil” because that is an objectively bad thing. Blood bending is objectively evil because, again, the foundation of the technique is grounded in imposing your will over another persons, and then physically and mentally tormenting them in such a way that it would be more efficient to just outright kill them, and even if the technique itself doesn’t kill them the circulatory system may get messed up as well, killing then regardless. The technique requires the full moon and the same movements as water bending, meaning again, it would be far more efficient to just cut someone’s head off with an empowered water slash then puppeteer them. It’s a skill that is exclusively for cruelty, it provides little to no advantage over normal waterbending. Freeze the floor to make them slip, lop their head off in a second; the same effect 10 times faster
Probably the most horrific bending style, having your blood forcibly moved around while inside your body sounds extremely painful. It could literally stop bloodflow and make you implode from the inside like holy shit
Definitely the most potentially destructive type of bending yet. Hama even used it on herself so she could move better too so it's not just an offensive kind of bending.
Just for fun, who do you guys think would win? A bloodbender, or a non-pacifist airbender? (To be clear, one that would kill you by bending the air out of your lungs).
The things Hama did were really terrifying, but in the end she was still a victim herself and I’m glad she got to return home, just wish they showed it in the show. They should revive Avatar with a new story line but also adapt all the comic stories.
The bad thing about having a great power is that you only need enough pressure (or an accident, like Aang burning Katara) to end up using it for a bad thing.
Cuando Hama lo uso para escapar de esa prisión siento que fue la mejor forma de usarlo pero cuando lo uso para lastimar gente inocente, eso fue lo mal.
The problem is more the temptation it brings than anything else. That much power can leave a person feeling invincible or untouchable and once you trivialize using it against an enemy, you could end up abusing it without even realizing you're doing so.
probably not I think normal waterbending would do just fine, bloodbending is a little too far for me morally, in most cases, since you're forcing your free will over another persons and there's nothing they can do about it
@@Dell-ol6hblet's say you had the ability but what if criminals try to rob you, kidnap you or worse murder you and don't say anything about police because these guys always arrive too late
The thing is, right now we could say that we'll only use it for defense or for "good" but would we really? A person must be highly enlightened to be able to call himself morally good all the time but even then that person might not be sure still. It's why Katara didn't want it. She herself isn't sure she'll only use it for good or defense.
@@bergkatze3186 it was on the fire nation soldier who killed katara mom , she went after that guy with zuzu help It's one of those "field trip with Zuko"

She must have been shocked by the way he learned it, but then Katara would have had to know that it would be useful to her, although I don't remember if he uses it again in the anime.

Puppet bending the best idea ever 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I couldn't sleep the first night I watched this episode 😂
Fun fact: this episode is actually based on horror films
Wait until the amon arrive... you see nothing
First and last blood bending seen in this "season"
