Gyatso: *Politely bends the air out of a fire bender's lungs*
"excuse me sir, may I have that air in your lungs? Thank you very much."

It was during comet boost, and there is no fire, gyatso deprived the are from air, fire couldn’t exist and everything died, including him

Just wanna point out that Gyatso was surrounded by the bodies of 15 COMET ENHANCED firebenders.
Or 30 fire benders
The room was also covered in snow and rubble. Theirs probably a few more we can’t see. Dude killed a full platoon in that room
Don't forget there wasn't a scorch mark on his clothes. So he chatted with them, until they filled the room, before pulling a kamikaze move.
It’s not that impressive. He just took the air out and they wouldn’t be able to do anything at all since fire needs air.
@@Rockso78They aren't in a pressurized room. More air would just rush back in.

Self-defence.

15 firebenders DURING Sozin's comet. Gyatso must've been on drug 😂
And considering that the fire nation didn't bother to go and collect the bodies of even their own soldiers shows that the expedition that carried out the attack was in such bad shape that they couldn't carry out retrieval operations.
Well they nost likely sent their best soldiers and firebenders to 4 points around the world in secret and before (I think) they had steamships. So that alone would have been logistical nightmare, not to mention starting a war with the rest of the world. I don't think recovering any dead in remote places, that only the airbenders have any way of getting to easily, was a high priority.
Gyatso: “In terms of oxygen, you have no oxygen.”
Yes
Then... How did they have fire when the air benders...control the supply...and had locations to all the temples....I think betrayal was in the mix somewhere.
@@Azurath100 everyone knew where the air temples were it’s just nobody expected the attack because 1 the air nomads weren’t hurting anybody they were just doing their own thing and 2 nobody thought anyone but airbenders could get up to the temples until the fire benders did because of the comet

You're/you are*
Sokka: "Im gonna tell him"
Katara: "NO DONT"
I like the idea that his intention wasn't to harm them, just to stop them from burning him and he accidentally killed them
Gyatso’s robes also had zero burns.
The moment the firebender a broke into his room he was probably just “I HAVE REVOKED THIS ENTIRE MOUNTAIN’S OXYGEN PRIVILEGES!”
Yeah good luck bending plasmas when there's nothing around you to ionize.
i dont get that, since, well, who killed gyatso? if he was untouched in the fight, how did he die there? Wouldn't he have died somewhere else, like in fire nation custody or something, if he wasn't killed in battle?
Also, wouldn't there be more dead bodies all throughout the temple, and not just gyatso and the dead fire benders in that one room?
@@inafridge8573 the answer to “who killed Gyatso” is “himself”. He needs air too. And there were dead bodies around the temple. The first hint was Sokka finding a Fire Nation helmet in a random bush. But most of the outside bones were probably moved by animals or just winds and such. It WAS 100 years ago. Nature had plenty of time to disturb the various skeletons.
@@inafridge8573If he bends all of the air off of the mountain to suffocate everyone, that means HE also can't breath and die with eveyone else

@Hope dies last i mean he would’ve been killed if he didn’t, proven by the fact that they murdered him. the only way to prolong his life would have been to kill them
Going by what he said alone I think you missed the point. "Sure I use violence to defend myself but never to kill them" was the gist. Go through word for word again if you must. "Sure I'll use violence in self defense but I would never use it to take a life. I need to live my life by my masters aka the monks example" Also that very same episode or the one after he's knocking them all off the mountain way over a thousand feet up and burying them in avalanches. No way did all of those people survived. Then later in the series Aang constantly would say "the monks taught me, something hypocritical on the side of peace but kids show"

This means Aang is a Pure Soul!

My favorite part of this is
"Grief... and regret?"
Which is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT something Aang would say
Monk Gyatso's fists were named Grief and Regret
TBF if I was suffocating to death while realizing that you can't firebend in a vacuum I'd feel p. regretful too.
I mean there was definitely both grief and regret during their final moments...
seriously 1000% this was the same thinking he had towards taking down the firelord till turtle time happened haha
Its actually much sadder when you realize monks train avoidance. If an army of fire benders can't catch even one air bender, how did they pin down the air benders? The air benders must have sacrificed themselves to die with the fire benders instead of avoiding them and letting them burn the world.
Aang is and will forever be the most precious bean in the Avatar universe.

Oh No😂😂😂
Underrated comment xD
Aang: “I can’t kill the fire lord! It goes against everything I was taught.”
Monk Gyatso: “If I’m going to die today, you’re coming with me.”
To be fair, I think a fair punishment for the Fire lord wasn’t death but having his bending taken away. He went from being one of the most powerful benders in the planet to being a powerless man in a world where everyone else can use bending in a daily basis from the smallest of things to the biggest. Death? Sure he seemed to deserve it, pretty sure Zuko and everyone else that the fire lord tortured directly or indirectly thought so, but the best punishment for a powerful being is to take away the thing that made them so powerful in the first place. Aang literally denied this man the death of a warrior and he will never get that opportunity again for the rest of his life. For a man like him, that is worse than death.
@@joxyver This…was beautiful to read
@@aPeachWhoLovesYeshua thank you, something I thought about since I have seen those videos of Aang essentially and unknowingly killing a lot of fire nation foot soldiers but for some reason sparring the fire lords life and then watching this short.
There is a theory that Gyatso took the air out of everyone near him with himself in there because his clothes and his necklace aren't burnt and the soldiers are not near enough to kill him
@@Ikaros-fo5cb he had cuts on his clothes so i thought he just got stabbed
Naw, season two when the gang is trying to get the the Earth king after they find lake laogi Aang freezes the river that Katara spalshes the gaurds into, and say 'were on your side'. Bro literally kills them, and yet wont kill the man who wants to rule, take over, kill, and suppress the world.
In that same episode, Katara once said,
Sokka:You can’t pretend firebenders weren’t here!
Katara:I can for Aang’s sake.
It didn’t go so well

“Remember kids, fire needs oxygen to burn and humans need oxygen to live.” Prof. Gyatso
Gyatsu just goes full Zaheer and uses airbending to choke all the firebenders to death, singlehandedly ends the hundred year war (which now needs to be renamed), and then spend the rest of his life searching for Aang, who everyone else thinks died in a storm.

So now we've got Legend of Korra, but with the original gang
Honestly if you think about it there is zero reason the firebnders should have ever won that fight.
But like that wouldn't have been a good show.
@@harrisonkearney5619 I can think of several reasons the firebenders won, the element of surprise, more advanced technology, better military strategy, better training, better propoganda, etc. The firebenders were a nation built to dominate, their culture was based on Japan from ww2, they are super nationalistic, view themselves as racially superior, and they truly believe they are doing what is right and that this will eventually save the people unfortunate enough to be born outside the fire nation. On the other hand, the air nomads struggle excessively with killing, even in self defense. The firebenders are eager and determined, believing that their actions are just. Where as the airbenders are indecisive and scared, unsure whether or not it would be morally acceptable to defend themselves, and whether or not they personally would be okay with it killing in self defence. Most airbenders likely died without fighting back at all. I'm not sure if it was losing Aang that hardened Monk Gyatso or hearing his students being murdered and his home/temple destroyed, but either way, he was seemingly one of the few airbenders with a resolve strong enough to kill in self defence.
This video visually portrays that Aang's spiritual attributes are so strong that his aura can be seen shimmering and pulsing around his head.

So Zaheer is NOT the 1st time this happened?
@@animeisland420 yup
Just a friendly reminder that the Fire Nation attacked the Air Nomads during Sozin's Comet, which means that Gyatso didn't just kill 15 normal firebenders, he killed 15 firebenders who each had the firepower to take down the walls of Ba Sing Se by themselves, and he did it solo.
He was so op he could have taken on ozai solo
I read somewhere that iroh is the most skilled firebender in existence.... I really don't think an average firebending soldier could have taken down the wallas of ba sing se .......altho they wud have been pretty strong
@@bilalyaqoob9216 With the firepower granted by Sozin's Comet, they could. That was the whole point of defeating Ozai before the comet, because he was planning to use it to burn down the entirety of the Earth Kingdom.
@@christianrose9166 Yes but Iroh was using the power of the comet to take down the walls... Iroh is nearly as powerful as Ozai himself(he was originally supposed to be fire lord after all)
If a bender as powerful as Iroh needed the comet to break the walls, an ordinary foot soldier almost certainly wouldn't be able to even with the comet.
This isn't to say it didn't make them _extremely_ powerful, and we really know very little about the power level of pre-war soldiers, it seems to be implied over the generations the quality of soldiers has gotten progressively worse and worse on all sides since the war began... At the beginning, all sides were probably comprised of all-bender armies, but as more and more of the experienced benders died, they began filling the ranks with non-benders and less powerful benders with less training and experience.
It's my honest belief that the Fire Nation army circa the reign of Ozai couldn't have defeated the Airbenders at their prime, even with the comet and the element of surprise, for the genocide to be as successful as it was required the perfect timing as well as a very experienced army.
(It's important to note that vehicles like the war balloons and tanks that would've allowed them access to the temples via flying and climbing respectively hadn't been invented yet, so all those fire benders would've had to have flown into the temples using their own fire bending.(only Azula is able to fly with fire bending in the OG series) So, that means they'd have to be pretty advanced firebenders to even get into the temples, with or without the comet.
In other words, while they might not have been Iroh levels of powerful, they were certainly way more powerful than the grunts Aang beats up in the show.
@@trainknut Umm... Iroh is not 100 years old, and the comet only comes around once every one hundred years. It is chronologically impossible for him to have used the comet's power. The reason him breaking the walls of Ba Sing Se was such an accomplishment is precisely because he did it without the comet's power.
As for soldiers growing weaker, that's most likely because the world is technically in a time of "peace" (even though it would be more accurate to say that they're in a stalemate). It is a general rule that in peacetimes, an army is at it's weakest. An army is only strong and useful when it's put to use in war, so an army standing by doing nothing is pointless. Those soldiers have to make a living somehow, so they become guards, mercenaries, bandits, whatever it takes to make money, but the result is that the later armies become full of new recruits and aged veterans. The recruits don't know what they're doing, and the veterans can't fight like they could in their younger days. This is true for every army in every culture, and that's most likely what happened in ATLA.
So, yeah. Iroh never used the comet's power until Ozai's invasion attempt, where we see that the average soldier is capable of reducing forests to ash. It is safe to assume that if these soldiers are capable of that level of destruction, then they were capable of the same 100 years before that.

Couldn't leave it on 69 😈
🤣🤣🤣
That realization that Airbenders live a life of nonviolence because of how incredibly easy it is to kill people with airbending. They literally are just trying to make it so unthinkable that they never think of how to do it.
and those bastards still invented a technic to assassinate people with it
Right? Think about how dangerous Zaheer was in LOK. Now imagine an entire culture of people like him. Any talented air bender that wasn't a pacifist would be one of the most dangerous people alive.
@@magicalminty6203which is probably why anybody who displayed airbening capabilities where taken to the air temples.
I agree. With you. Aang I’ve heard about your stories and how you save the world and. Didn’t kill fire, lord ozai and how do you save the world I’m glad that you didn’t use violence, but I am also glad that you saved the world from the fire. RIP Lang.
Yea you right the grief of their friends dying in front of them n the regret of fucking around n finding out😂
Aang: "I refuse to kill Ozai"
Gyatso: "Nah, I say let it die! Let it die, let it die."
lorax nice
Yoou greeeedy dirtbaaaag
LMAO literally all the past avatars giving him advice😂😂
Even the air bender Avatar told him to just let loose on Ozai.
Yeah, Yangchen literally told him, "This isn't about you."
“Oh yeah, they’re neutral alright”
“As in they will neutralize anyone who climbs their mountain-“
*Laughs in Swiss*
@@phsycresconquest6636 yeah actually I made this based off of a meme about Switzerland
lol
the original meme was:
"oh yeah, they're neutral alright."
"and by neutral I mean they will neutralize anyone who enters their airspace"
Was gonna say "like the swiss," but
💀
Bro had hands and killed 15 comit enhanced maybe even 30
I never thought about this... You have opened my eyes!
To be fair, thats still self-defense. The monks basically taught "dont be a bully but also dont let yourself be bullied".
Yeah but if the Fire Lord tries to kill Aang then it's the same rule.
@1776iscool its about the perpetuation of violence. Toppling a dictator as another all powerful being just creates another dictator. In ATLA the details are different but the mentality is the same
@@1776iscoolgyatso had no other choice, Ang had time to plan
@@1776iscoolthese rules are not as rigid as you make it seem. The same way not all Jedi's are the exact same, not all monks are the same. I think if it was Monk Gyatso in Aangs shoes, he would have killed Ozai. Even the last monk Avatar told Aang that he had to kill him. That's what makes Aang so special, even among his own kind, is that he found a way without taking a life.
I just remember Iroh teaching Zuko that true firebending is in the breathing, not in its anger. Gyatso straight BODIED those poor men.
Those "poor men"t tried to wipe out a race of benders. A WHOLE RASE OF BENDERS.
Firebrnfing comes from he heart
@@IsaacCampbell-dx5gfI thought the fire generated as an extension of the limbs was the chi extending past the body. And the stomach is the sea of chi
@@TOHFan2810 those brainwashed soldiers died painfully and with extreme agony just for being unlucky enough to attack an old man.
That's what it's called self defence
