Honestly, the benders from Legend of Korra are so underrated. The way they’re animated is so beautiful and combat techniques are so interesting to watch! The fight scenes in Legend of Korra are so action packed!
Despite being on a much lower budget than atla, the visuals were so much better or at the very least more interesting. The character writing was pretty lacking but the stories and plot lines were arguably more captivating and creative than atla.
Actually Water Bending Skills of Kya is really commendable, she trained to be a Healer and there's no war during her time growing up and still she was able to fight that way. The Twins kombat with Ming Hua should have been more a good fight, animated did them dirty.
@@CcokeS Katara didn't learn it, Hama showed her but Katara never actually managed to do it. Hama remains the only water bender we have ever seen to draw water from the moisture in the air.
Yue as #1 gagged me but I immediately understood 😂 you ate this! I was confused when you were naming the numbers 4-7 but you swayed me the more we went on 😂
@@mrcucombre_ lmao 😂 nah you’re probably just not used to real live ppl giving compliments on SM. Very rare. But I assure you, I’m real. What bots out here using “gagged” like this? 💀🤣 like PLEASEEEEE
Kya should be ranked higher, in the series she was not taught combat waterbending only healing but she is still extremely good, if Katara trained her well on dueling she could be very excellent.
Kya faught agaisnt Zaheer in a 1v1 and almost beat him, forcing him to retreat, and then held her own against Ming Hua (was outclass, obviously Ming Hua is a beast). Kya was likely just as good as Katara, she just didn't get the same amount of screen time that Katara did.
@@seawolfhikes Yeah Kya vs Ming Hua was pretty much a 1v1 as bumi was running from Ghazan, P'li was chasing the people escaping and Zaheer was dealing with Tenzin. So Ming Hua did outclass Kya, but still, being out classed by the very best of the best yet still holding her own and putting up a good fight is a huge testement to just how good Kya really was.
Tarlock, Amon and Yakkone are top 3 not counting Yue. I'd put Unalaq between Pakku and Ming Hua. He's good but not above Amon's family or Katara. Unless you meant Unavatuu
Brooo we’re talking abt a dark avatar here unalaq would most likely one tap her and it’s not funny unalaq one tapped mako and bolin at the same time mako being someone even Amon recognizes
@@MindBursterzexactly, that's the issue here, katara holds back, if she was an antagonist, and she unleashed full force, she would be unmatched, but she's filled with so much restraints
All these years watching Korra highlight I never knew Ming-hua don’t have arms lol. I always think this is just her fighting style to cover her arms in water. 🤯
Honestly she deserves a higher spot, maybe even above katara. She was the only physic water bender who didn’t need blood bending to take down an opponent, and that’s WITHOUT ARMS. Ming hua was an interesting villain.
Number 1 was clearly an honorary mention... That said, i think this list is actual about water benders and the amount the threat the seemed to pose... With the flawlessness of toph at her prime, one can assume that katara, if she were willing to fight, would take out a lot of all these characters, even Amon, one by one or perhaps multiple at a time. The fight properly needs a clear head, one thing most if these characters doesn't have and katara has in abundance 😊😊
Unlikely. Katara would be folded in half at that age... The little bit Toph did killed her back; and if you pay attention to her actions she barely moves herself, but rather makes the swampmud move her around. Any place else she would've fared a lot worse which is likely one of the reasons why she stays in the swamp.
@@Imaginethis_stop being delusional now💀 Amons only mastered bloodbending better than Katara. But Katara has already been able to resist bloodbending from a bloodbending creator in a very first exposure 😂 KATARA's also the most powerful and versatile waterbending master Amon doesn't stand a chance
Yall forget that blood bending is not that op against other waterbenders. If the water bender is stronger than the bloodbender's power it has no effect. (katara being able to free herself from hama's blood bending, Amon freeing himself from tarloq's blood bending AND aang activating the avatar state to over power yakone's blood bending). So again just bc a character can blood bend does not mean they're unbeatable
@yann123 No, I disagree. Bloodbending is easily the most overpowered skill in the Avatar Universe. Did you see what Yakone did to everyone in the council? He performed Psychic Blood Bending on everyone, even with his hands tied. That room included some of the most powerful benders, such as a fully grown Toph Beifong, who is the most powerful earth bender in the scene, and Avatar Aang. Both were powerless against Yakone’s bloodbending capability. Without the Avatar’s plot armor, it’s pretty hard to defeat blood bending. You’ll have to deal with it.
Not to mention when katara did that octopus, tentacle 🐙 like, stance/ move. She also adapted earth bending into her water bending. Katara was unmatched.
Everyone above her in ranking were far more skilled and powerful. Most people who say katara is unmatched hasn’t even laid eyes on lok. Ming hua could do the tentacle move WITHOUT ARMS. Katara is incredibly powerful and was definitely unmatched for her time, but she was surpassed.
Surpassed only by Amon, because of his bloodbending, but not by Ming Hua and Unalaq! Ming Hua lost to Mako with a large amount of water and Kya fought very well against her being a healer@@Yeibaldreamss
@@joaog_s2 Ming hua lost because she was struck by a bolt of lightning, which water both conducts and strengthens. Aang “died” the same way. When a lightning bender wants to kill you, it’s pretty much game over. Though It’s tough to say who’d win an actual fight, Ming hua’s greater skills with psychic bending and all undoubtedly surpass Katara.
@@Yeibaldreamss No, Aang didn't die because he conducted the lightning, but because he was hit alone, he wasn't in full control of the avatar state, Katara easily surpasses Ming Hua, she knows bloodbending
One thing that Katara doesn't know, besides Kya fighting super well against her being a healer, Katara's skills are exceptional, and if you doubt it, Katara uses the tentacle technique even better than her.
You have one of the best analysis, ranking power levels without fail!!! Having watch few videos, I must say you earned a subscriber! P.S: Standing Ovation for Princess Yue, Sokka’s first girlfriend😅 (Much respect)
hama should have been alot higher on the list because as you put toph as no. 1 for creating metal bending hama created blood bending as an idea no one else thought of and not only that pulling water from any source. no other on the list was so creative. at least 3 or 2 if not first place
I think Amon should take the number 1. You are right about everything you said about Unalaq but It's not fair count his feats as the dark avatar and if you are going to count this version of him you should also include in the list everyone who had access to Avatar State... That being said Amon > Unalaq but Unavaatu > Amon..... Amon is by far the greatest water bender prodigy of both series....
@@mohazytg3270 but Amon didn't even move to bend. He was hiding he was a bender so we didn't see much of his actual fighting skills. He is definitely the most powerful one.
@@nikai0713 there is no prove he is a better water bender than unalaq , watch season 2 of korra again you will see how good Unalaq was using water bending
It wouldn't be fair to compare Aquaman to other characters in this universe. Aquaman is physically on par with the likes of Wonder Woman and despite being weaker has gone toe to toe with Superman and won. Aquaman is also superior to a few literal Gods and even has the Trident of Poseidon, so he has a weapon that was literally blessed and used by the God of the sea and water in general. Aquaman would not only be the most powerful water bender surpassing someone like Katara 1000x over, but he'd also be the strongest character easily obliterating even the avatar state with ease. The avatar at their strongest is only Island level while Aquaman is easily planetary+.
I love how you gave everyone their props and u were actually objective in ur outlook, personally Katara will always be the strongest in my eyes. (she healed the crimple🤭), I also loved how even the least rank felt represented and their strengths were highlighted
Number 1 and 2 are a Spirit and an Avatar, no one puts her in the number one above them, for the normal benders though she is number 1 and should be number 3 on this list, it is not glazing to recognize her abilities and status as the best and strongest normal waterbender we have seen in both shows.
@@j.43I get what you're saying but Amon's power is ridiculous. Probably bad writing, as is usual for Korra, but nobody, not even Katarra, came close to Amon's sheer mastery of the art, including the best display of blood bending we saw in the entire cannon. He could destroy your chi pathways to emulate an aspect of energy bending. Nobody else came close. That's the same level of bending innovation as Toph inventing metal bending.
My goodness! Watching this list makes me want to watch the entire Avatar series. I have yet to see it. Though I’m kind of familiar with some characters I’m no where proficient in the hows and knows dealing with benders.
people always underestimate kya simply because she lost to zaheer and minghua even though she was 55 years old during the fight, was rusty cause she spent most of her life traveling the world, etc... kya could probably be higher on the list in her prime
Yet people also always say Katara is better than Hama even though Hama was ancient, lived in the Fire Nation and couldn't practice her bending as a result or risk getting caught and quite frankly didn't fight to win, but to make Katara bloodbend.
@@SimplymeSVEN18 at first she fought to teach katara how to blood bend but then she later changed her mind when katara was against it hence why she was surprised when katara started blood bending
@@stickypinktip She never changed her mind in that. She literally taunts her into bloodbending "don't let them hurt eachother". It's clear she wanted Katara to bloodbend there. Though she likely was surprised it worked right away. That or she expected Katara to bloodbend Aang and Sokka instead of her. But it suited her goals either way so she wasn't going to protest. Again, evidenced when she goes laughing to prison after congratulating Katara.
@@SimplymeSVEN18 at some point she literally gives up on trying to teach katara mid fight and actually starts to fight her did we watch the same show ?!
In The Legend Of Korra, Katara was regarded as the best water bender. We only saw Katara as a young teenager who had just been a master for about a year. I would imagine she was way stronger in her prime. I think she should hold the number one spot.
Ming-Hua is just on another level IMO, Hama is psycho, Katara is so well rounded and versatile (can heal and bloodbend), and Kya uses water as if she was using air.... but Amon is truly in my opinion the best, he technically cannot be defeated unless it's by an avatar.
For me selecting Katara in 4th place is a crime, she literally mastered waterbending + the 2 sub bending elements in less than a YEAR, Amon and Unalaq are grown adults, imagine what Katara could be at her 20s/30s, but ofc she can't stay at the 1st place, Yue is literally the moon and can create giant waves without even an effort, more more than Katara, and by the way she can bend while being a spirit is just insane. Katara should've been at the 2nd place for me.
I never thought about Ming Hua was simultaneously doing like 5 kinds of water bending whenever we saw her fight. I would have tied her with Amon. I know blood bending is the pinnacle technique in water bending. But her ability to do all of that while having no arms is incredible.
Im glad to see someone finally give unalaq credit as the best base combat waterbender. As a villian he is by far the worst and that makes many people write him off, but his skills as a waterbender cannot be overlooked.
It shouldn't be nothing difficult. There is H2O in the air. It's not like she needed to create a chemical reaction to get it. The amount of water you can get is low. From the air you can get 30g from 1m³ in best conditions. And the main reason why nobody else is using it is probably because there is no f**king water in air on south and north pole as it's below 0
@miraclenweke4784 no bro I didn't watch the animated one🤦🏽😂 I had CN growing up at home not nickelodeon but I've just recently finished the animation what a great series liked it way more than the live action
Katara is restricted in use of the bloodbending that it can only be used during a full moon and it effects the mental state so she doesn't use it often. The father and the two brothers were known to use it without a moon. Those three also did not hesitate to lose their minds over the bloodlust of being killers. Not only that Amon found out a way to take away bending using his bloodbending ability.
Can we talk about about Katara being the first water bender to learn both healing and blood bending. Normally benders would learn and master one of those bending , but she learn to do two🤯 it’s almost impressive that should’ve been placed as number one…
Im actually so mad that we couldnt see more of kid aang and kid katara because i would love to see how aang handles being in love and katara too, also i just love good love stories
Katara in her prime is the most powerful waterbender. She is the best healer in the world, learnt blood bending in minutes and overpowered the creator of blood bending… Her big scale waterbending feats are comparable to avatar state korra’s feats… And she started from absolute zero. She is absolutely the most talented and skilled waterbender of all time. Of course she didn’t develop blood bending due to moral reasons, but I believe if she had, she could’ve been a bloodbender at the level of Amon and Yakone. Actually, blood bending won’t work on a stronger waterbender, that’s why the avatar state negates blood bending. So I think not even Amon Yakone or Tarrlok could blood bend katara because she is just the better waterbender
this is simply not realistic. The only time katara blood bent was when there was a full moon. Amon could easily take her out and that’s okay. She was the best water bender of her time but Amon easily beats her unfortunately
I don't think Katara stood the chance against Amon. she would just lose her bending like the rest. Amon was way too strong so that could resist another bloodbender and recover within minutes after being struck by lightning while Aang was healing for weeks after Azula's attack. Amon is the strongest waterbender in my book.
Katara was a more powerful bender than Hama. Of course she didn't develop blood bending not due to moral reasons but because she didn't know that could be done and nobody else did because Hama was the first to develop it. And it's a good thing that Katara lobbied against blood bending because when blood bending is used on someone it causes psychological effects on a person. And Avatar Ang and Avatar Korra never learned and used blood bending
That fight between Kya and Zaheer had me gagged bc like the level of detail within the fight alone. The little water ring that she shoots ice out of, actually diminished. Obvs like it was an unfair battle but sis did her thing!
Katara's waterbendeing style is more unique than you might think. Her basics are self taught which already makes it unique, was taught northern style and mastered it. I don't think she mastered or even got close to mastereing southern style since she spend not even a week with Hama. Her bloodbending is basic, but being one of only two bloodbenders at the time already makes you unique. What people seems to often forget is that while she learned northern style properly, she is still mostly self taught and spend more time among earthbenders. Her movement and technic is closer to that of an earthbender. Her dual with Hama is a great example. She blocks and strike most of the time rather than using her opponent's strengths against them, while Hama fights like a proper waterbender by redirecting Katara's attacks. This could explain why Tarlok's and Korra's style of waterbending is also aggressive compared to their relatives in the North. Seems like the South Pole was affected a lot by this.
MingHua is a game changer in this series. How can you imagine a bender without arms? On top that, she's really good at combat. So it kinda feels illegal to place her on a low rank.
@@joyhammer3148well, she didn't know Kiyoshi did anything like that, in her time of desperation she came up with something called blood bending, so yeah, she actually did invent it and besides, what Kiyoshi did wasn't blood bending
@@greaterlight even if she didn't know, it doesn't mean she "invented" it if someone actually did it before her. She's indeed the catalyst who made it known to the world, but it was already used centuries before. Here's an example: Let's say on a foreign island who never had any contact with the world, someone discovers that you can make fire by using stones, would you say they "invented" lighting stones? Or rather they discovered it? And excuse me, bloodbending is not "bending the blood itself", it's "bending the water INSIDE the blood". Just like mudbending and plantbending are about bending the water inside mud and plants. So if Kyoshi froze someone's water inside someone's blood, thus freezing someone's blood, then yeah she did bloodbend. Unless we haven't read the same book.
I’d have thought Korra would have been in there somewhere. I thought her water bending skills were quite good. Especially as she’s the avatar from a water bending tribe…
How I wish Katara was power hungry so we would've seen how she beats these other waterbenders in the ranking to a pulp. I want to see her bloodbend while in rage. 😂
no problem about Yue, but Katara is the real master of water bending, she deserves to be on top. She was only around 14 during her journey with the avatar. So she is the strongest, she can even beat Unalaq in a battle following with Amon.
Still waiting for a Waterbender to completely master temperature control and Steambending. We've seen Katara bend steam when she helped to destroy the Fire Nation drill. We even saw her create fog when she acted as the Painted Lady. However, nobody ever frequently incorporates steam and water vapor into their Waterbending except for Hama, who only uses it to convert water vapor into water to extract water from thin air. This requires a waterbender to condense and cool the water vapor, and obviously turning water into ice also requires cooling water. Katara creating fog during her Painted Lady act would have required her to heat the water up. Based on that, we know that Waterbenders should be able to control the temperature of their water. Nickalodeon would have never done this because it would have been too violent, but it would be much more deadly in combat for Waterbenders to wield scalding hot water against their enemies so that the water wouldn't only deal blunt force damage or cutting damage, but also heat damage. Related to this, if one were to master Steambending to the point where they could flash enough water to steam at once, they could use this ability to generate pressure explosions as destructive as Combustionbending since steam takes up much more volume than liquid water. Steambending also opens up many more sources of water to the user. Hama demonstrated this by bending the water vapor in her immediate vicinity into small amounts of water, but seeing how the most powerful Waterbenders are able to bend water from great distances, it should be possible to bend the water in the clouds from the ground and then condense them as a water source. A Steambender would also be able to wield hot steam as a deadlier version of airbending, creating gouts of steam capable of burning victims, or gathering a large amount of invisible humidity and then condensing parts of it into water or ice for unpredictable attacks. One could even just freeze a person instantly with invisible water vapor. And then you could take this even further, so long as your morals are more questionable, by combining temperature control, Icebending, and Steambending with Bloodbending. A Steambender who can also Bloodbend would be able to make their foes simply explode on the spot, and a Bloodbender can also freeze their foes' internal organs. In fact, Avatar Kyoshi actually froze the heart and lungs of one of her enemies to instantly kill him, so we know it's possible. And to maybe use Bloodbending for something more ethical, a Bloodbender with healing abilities could theoretically heal someone using the liquids already present in that person's body, healing them without the need for an external water source.
@@MindBursterzHe was a strong blood bender, just because of that he is only second to Amon. No one of the benders on the list can match their power. Listing Unalaq and the moon girl is pretty unfair considering the way they got their power and they basically became powerful spirits. Blood bending is a hack ability, but as we saw Tarlok and Amon using it without the moon just puts them way way higher than other water benders.
These commenters are so deluded. Katara is extremely powerful, yes, and a world class water bender and healer, but she is NOT a blood bending master. She showed prodigy potential, but she never mastered this art. By choice. Amon literally used blood bending to take away peoples ability to bend the elements, and not even Katara was able to heal that or reverse the effects. Katara also never learned spirit bending. Her being your favorite character does not make her the most powerful. She was appropriately ranked. Great video 👍

Actually Water Bending Skills of Kya is really commendable, she trained to be a Healer and there's no war during her time growing up and still she was able to fight that way. The Twins kombat with Ming Hua should have been more a good fight, animated did them dirty.
Hama is underrated that lady control water from thin air
No body actually reached that fit
It's called humidity
And Katara learned it
Exactly my point she's supposed be at the top 3
@@CcokeS Katara didn't learn it, Hama showed her but Katara never actually managed to do it.
Hama remains the only water bender we have ever seen to draw water from the moisture in the air.
@@miraclenweke4784Katara never achieved that skill
Yue as #1 gagged me but I immediately understood 😂 you ate this! I was confused when you were naming the numbers 4-7 but you swayed me the more we went on 😂
😃😉
Bots are getting creative these days
@@mrcucombre_ lmao 😂 nah you’re probably just not used to real live ppl giving compliments on SM. Very rare. But I assure you, I’m real. What bots out here using “gagged” like this? 💀🤣 like PLEASEEEEE
Kya should be ranked higher, in the series she was not taught combat waterbending only healing but she is still extremely good, if Katara trained her well on dueling she could be very excellent.
I agree, Kya needs to be higher. Her combat skills are actually pretty amazing, the fact she can heal three bodies also at once is astounding.
But she's not right?
I rest my case
Kya faught agaisnt Zaheer in a 1v1 and almost beat him, forcing him to retreat, and then held her own against Ming Hua (was outclass, obviously Ming Hua is a beast). Kya was likely just as good as Katara, she just didn't get the same amount of screen time that Katara did.
@@juliankanzuki2013 Would she have been outclassed by Ming Hua 1v1? She was fighting her AND the others.
@@seawolfhikes Yeah Kya vs Ming Hua was pretty much a 1v1 as bumi was running from Ghazan, P'li was chasing the people escaping and Zaheer was dealing with Tenzin. So Ming Hua did outclass Kya, but still, being out classed by the very best of the best yet still holding her own and putting up a good fight is a huge testement to just how good Kya really was.
Tarlock, Amon and Yakkone are top 3 not counting Yue. I'd put Unalaq between Pakku and Ming Hua. He's good but not above Amon's family or Katara. Unless you meant Unavatuu
If katara was evil I don’t think anyone can compete with her
She will be too OP
If she was, i promise you i would have put her at #1. But she holds back a lot.
Brooo we’re talking abt a dark avatar here unalaq would most likely one tap her and it’s not funny unalaq one tapped mako and bolin at the same time mako being someone even Amon recognizes
@@Aso_officialwell because he fused with Vaatu, Unalaq without Vaatu then it would be a fair fight
@@MindBursterzexactly, that's the issue here, katara holds back, if she was an antagonist, and she unleashed full force, she would be unmatched, but she's filled with so much restraints
She really holds back, otherwise no one on that list would have matched her water bending prowess
All these years watching Korra highlight I never knew Ming-hua don’t have arms lol. I always think this is just her fighting style to cover her arms in water. 🤯
Honestly she deserves a higher spot, maybe even above katara. She was the only physic water bender who didn’t need blood bending to take down an opponent, and that’s WITHOUT ARMS. Ming hua was an interesting villain.
Number 1 was clearly an honorary mention...
That said, i think this list is actual about water benders and the amount the threat the seemed to pose... With the flawlessness of toph at her prime, one can assume that katara, if she were willing to fight, would take out a lot of all these characters, even Amon, one by one or perhaps multiple at a time.
The fight properly needs a clear head, one thing most if these characters doesn't have and katara has in abundance 😊😊
Thank you for seeing this video that way, something others are clearly missing.
Unlikely. Katara would be folded in half at that age... The little bit Toph did killed her back; and if you pay attention to her actions she barely moves herself, but rather makes the swampmud move her around. Any place else she would've fared a lot worse which is likely one of the reasons why she stays in the swamp.
Amon 😂😂. The only category Katara beats Amon is in healing.
Combat, Bloodbending and Waterbending, Amon tops everyday.
@@Imaginethis_he has no great waterbending feats compared to katara, other than blood bending.
@@Imaginethis_stop being delusional now💀
Amons only mastered bloodbending better than Katara. But Katara has already been able to resist bloodbending from a bloodbending creator in a very first exposure 😂
KATARA's also the most powerful and versatile waterbending master
Amon doesn't stand a chance
The best water benders ranking video. Really impressive
Thanks 😊
With no bloodbending, the only character that could defeat Unalaq is probably Ming Hua. With bloodbending, it's Amon.
Amon could still defeat Unalaq even without bloodbending. Amon is a powerful waterbender. We just don't see him waterbend that much.
Whos that
Yall forget that blood bending is not that op against other waterbenders. If the water bender is stronger than the bloodbender's power it has no effect. (katara being able to free herself from hama's blood bending, Amon freeing himself from tarloq's blood bending AND aang activating the avatar state to over power yakone's blood bending). So again just bc a character can blood bend does not mean they're unbeatable
@yann123 No, I disagree. Bloodbending is easily the most overpowered skill in the Avatar Universe. Did you see what Yakone did to everyone in the council? He performed Psychic Blood Bending on everyone, even with his hands tied. That room included some of the most powerful benders, such as a fully grown Toph Beifong, who is the most powerful earth bender in the scene, and Avatar Aang. Both were powerless against Yakone’s bloodbending capability.
Without the Avatar’s plot armor, it’s pretty hard to defeat blood bending. You’ll have to deal with it.
Even with the blood bending ,Amon would still lose to unalaq
Not to mention when katara did that octopus, tentacle 🐙 like, stance/ move. She also adapted earth bending into her water bending. Katara was unmatched.
Everyone above her in ranking were far more skilled and powerful. Most people who say katara is unmatched hasn’t even laid eyes on lok. Ming hua could do the tentacle move WITHOUT ARMS. Katara is incredibly powerful and was definitely unmatched for her time, but she was surpassed.
Surpassed only by Amon, because of his bloodbending, but not by Ming Hua and Unalaq! Ming Hua lost to Mako with a large amount of water and Kya fought very well against her being a healer@@Yeibaldreamss
@@joaog_s2 Ming hua lost because she was struck by a bolt of lightning, which water both conducts and strengthens. Aang “died” the same way. When a lightning bender wants to kill you, it’s pretty much game over. Though It’s tough to say who’d win an actual fight, Ming hua’s greater skills with psychic bending and all undoubtedly surpass Katara.
@@Yeibaldreamss No, Aang didn't die because he conducted the lightning, but because he was hit alone, he wasn't in full control of the avatar state, Katara easily surpasses Ming Hua, she knows bloodbending
One thing that Katara doesn't know, besides Kya fighting super well against her being a healer, Katara's skills are exceptional, and if you doubt it, Katara uses the tentacle technique even better than her.
You have one of the best analysis, ranking power levels without fail!!!
Having watch few videos, I must say you earned a subscriber!
P.S: Standing Ovation for Princess Yue, Sokka’s first girlfriend😅
(Much respect)
Wow, thanks! Welcome onboard 😊
hama should have been alot higher on the list because as you put toph as no. 1 for creating metal bending hama created blood bending as an idea no one else thought of and not only that pulling water from any source. no other on the list was so creative. at least 3 or 2 if not first place
hama in her prime would go crazy
Thank you for this
That number 1 was amazing . That’s how u make a top tier list
Thanks a lot ❤️
You forgot to include the swamp benders. I was patiently waiting for their rank.
Actually in the anime, Yue said that she feels her bending stronger in a full moon. It is a hint that she is a water bender herself
Pretty sure Katara said that
Cartoon
No it's a hint that the spirit of the Moon is stronger in the full moon.
13:37 nice and clean transition, good ol' memories.
My favorite is the thins they could kill any won who stands in there way
One scary night, Katara met Hama....
Those waterbending combat speed are crazy. I wonder how fire nation beat them in the past
Exactly
They didn't
The south water tribe was practically a village and they still put up a fight against the fire NATION and the north was never taken.
They didn't besides the southern tribe which is a village
I think Amon should take the number 1. You are right about everything you said about Unalaq but It's not fair count his feats as the dark avatar and if you are going to count this version of him you should also include in the list everyone who had access to Avatar State... That being said Amon > Unalaq but Unavaatu > Amon..... Amon is by far the greatest water bender prodigy of both series....
Nah, for pure water bending moves unalaq takes it
@@mohazytg3270 but Amon didn't even move to bend. He was hiding he was a bender so we didn't see much of his actual fighting skills. He is definitely the most powerful one.
@@nikai0713 there is no prove he is a better water bender than unalaq , watch season 2 of korra again you will see how good Unalaq was using water bending
As a dark avatar blood bending would be useless against him so 🤷🏾♂️
How did you come to your conclusion when we rarely saw him water bend? Amon is the greatest blood bender but not water bender
Awesome
👏👏👏👏
I wanna see how Aquaman would do in this verse
I know right! Lol 😂
It wouldn't be fair to compare Aquaman to other characters in this universe. Aquaman is physically on par with the likes of Wonder Woman and despite being weaker has gone toe to toe with Superman and won. Aquaman is also superior to a few literal Gods and even has the Trident of Poseidon, so he has a weapon that was literally blessed and used by the God of the sea and water in general. Aquaman would not only be the most powerful water bender surpassing someone like Katara 1000x over, but he'd also be the strongest character easily obliterating even the avatar state with ease. The avatar at their strongest is only Island level while Aquaman is easily planetary+.
He would be cooked
@@miraclenweke4784 he would cook indeed
I believe the most powerful water bending ability would be the ability to take water out of not just the body of plants but animals as well
I love how you gave everyone their props and u were actually objective in ur outlook, personally Katara will always be the strongest in my eyes. (she healed the crimple🤭), I also loved how even the least rank felt represented and their strengths were highlighted
Thanks 😊
Nah the editing is top tier bro
Thanks
Yakone is definitely the most dangerous water bender in the Avatar universe!
Katara over yakone when his fears trump hers? Ok dude wtf
Was expecting you to glaze katara and put her at number one like everyone else. Absolutely loved how realistic and unbiased this ranking is
Thank you so much for your comment 🙂 Also check out my other videos 😉
Number 1 and 2 are a Spirit and an Avatar, no one puts her in the number one above them, for the normal benders though she is number 1 and should be number 3 on this list, it is not glazing to recognize her abilities and status as the best and strongest normal waterbender we have seen in both shows.
Oh the online community always ready to take away from Katara. Great video .
@@j.43I get what you're saying but Amon's power is ridiculous. Probably bad writing, as is usual for Korra, but nobody, not even Katarra, came close to Amon's sheer mastery of the art, including the best display of blood bending we saw in the entire cannon. He could destroy your chi pathways to emulate an aspect of energy bending. Nobody else came close. That's the same level of bending innovation as Toph inventing metal bending.
@@j.43Amon is #1
My goodness! Watching this list makes me want to watch the entire Avatar series. I have yet to see it. Though I’m kind of familiar with some characters I’m no where proficient in the hows and knows dealing with benders.
If Aang would’ve trained Kya like tanzin .. they would’ve been top notch siblings.. if they wasn’t monks too 😂
I want Team Avatar continuation when they group up animated
people always underestimate kya simply because she lost to zaheer and minghua even though she was 55 years old during the fight, was rusty cause she spent most of her life traveling the world, etc... kya could probably be higher on the list in her prime
Yet people also always say Katara is better than Hama even though Hama was ancient, lived in the Fire Nation and couldn't practice her bending as a result or risk getting caught and quite frankly didn't fight to win, but to make Katara bloodbend.
@@SimplymeSVEN18 at first she fought to teach katara how to blood bend but then she later changed her mind when katara was against it hence why she was surprised when katara started blood bending
@@stickypinktip She never changed her mind in that. She literally taunts her into bloodbending "don't let them hurt eachother". It's clear she wanted Katara to bloodbend there. Though she likely was surprised it worked right away. That or she expected Katara to bloodbend Aang and Sokka instead of her. But it suited her goals either way so she wasn't going to protest. Again, evidenced when she goes laughing to prison after congratulating Katara.
@@SimplymeSVEN18 at some point she literally gives up on trying to teach katara mid fight and actually starts to fight her did we watch the same show ?!
@@SimplymeSVEN18 hama has potential but she doesnt have the same amount of power as katara
In The Legend Of Korra, Katara was regarded as the best water bender. We only saw Katara as a young teenager who had just been a master for about a year. I would imagine she was way stronger in her prime. I think she should hold the number one spot.
I'm pretty sure they said she was the best healer but nonetheless katara in her prime would soo cool!
Ming-Hua is just on another level IMO, Hama is psycho, Katara is so well rounded and versatile (can heal and bloodbend), and Kya uses water as if she was using air.... but Amon is truly in my opinion the best, he technically cannot be defeated unless it's by an avatar.
Exactly
I would say that the bloodbenders who don't need the moon have the upper advantage especially in the day
The thing about katara is your basing her abilities from where she was in TLA. She couldve been even more powerful between then and LOK.
thats exactly why i cant wait for the new show we going to see them at prime
but not more powerful than daylight bloodbenders
For me selecting Katara in 4th place is a crime, she literally mastered waterbending + the 2 sub bending elements in less than a YEAR, Amon and Unalaq are grown adults, imagine what Katara could be at her 20s/30s, but ofc she can't stay at the 1st place, Yue is literally the moon and can create giant waves without even an effort, more more than Katara, and by the way she can bend while being a spirit is just insane. Katara should've been at the 2nd place for me.
She should be 4th. Behind Amon, Tarrlok and Yakone
Katara and Ming hau are my favourite ever in water beneding universe
Nice video 👏🏼
Thank you 🙌
I never thought about Ming Hua was simultaneously doing like 5 kinds of water bending whenever we saw her fight. I would have tied her with Amon. I know blood bending is the pinnacle technique in water bending. But her ability to do all of that while having no arms is incredible.
Im glad to see someone finally give unalaq credit as the best base combat waterbender. As a villian he is by far the worst and that makes many people write him off, but his skills as a waterbender cannot be overlooked.
He has the avatar state here
The next subject you should do is "What if Osai wasn't evil, changing the story completely."
Excellently Ranked 👍🏻
Thanks! 😁
Badly ranked
but katara is recognised as a master of every form of water bending and the best at most of them to ever live, canonically.
That’s is an absolute lie, she’s not a master she’s a beginner. And she is the weakest waterbender on this list
Katara will always be number 1. No one except her, mastered blood bending in a few minutes
Well any water should theoretically be able to bb during a full moon it took hauma long time bc it was discovered yet
Tonraq never defeated Unalaq, Unalaq wiped the floor with him… great video nonetheless!!
I think Katara
I appreciate the shot out for yue lol
I think hama should be place a lil bit higer .....she collected water from the air
It shouldn't be nothing difficult. There is H2O in the air. It's not like she needed to create a chemical reaction to get it. The amount of water you can get is low. From the air you can get 30g from 1m³ in best conditions. And the main reason why nobody else is using it is probably because there is no f**king water in air on south and north pole as it's below 0
9:40 to 9:45 aang realized that he was the avatar💀💀
I just watched the live action Avatar series I think it's time to go watch the animation now
U mean rewatch for me though?😊
@miraclenweke4784 no bro I didn't watch the animated one🤦🏽😂 I had CN growing up at home not nickelodeon but I've just recently finished the animation what a great series liked it way more than the live action
Yakone and his sons should be top 3. They can do everything a waterbender could do, plus bloodbend effortlessly.
Perfect list and perfect rankings! Please do one on firebenders. 😁💯
I have that already, check my channel 😉
@@MindBursterz I just watched it 😁
Katara is restricted in use of the bloodbending that it can only be used during a full moon and it effects the mental state so she doesn't use it often. The father and the two brothers were known to use it without a moon. Those three also did not hesitate to lose their minds over the bloodlust of being killers. Not only that Amon found out a way to take away bending using his bloodbending ability.
kya wasnt train on fighting only a healing trains and she almost beat zahere like mother like daughter
Ohh mad the member and the red ladies is my favorite she is deadly
Its a crime that Amon was not #1
Unalaq & Yue don't count because of spirits so indeed Amon is the GOAT/MTOAT.
the way he says toph kills me
And amon
Can we talk about about Katara being the first water bender to learn both healing and blood bending. Normally benders would learn and master one of those bending , but she learn to do two🤯 it’s almost impressive that should’ve been placed as number one…
great and unbiased ranking, only one I think can be moved is unaloq, below katara btw
great titles
Thanks 😊
Im actually so mad that we couldnt see more of kid aang and kid katara because i would love to see how aang handles being in love and katara too, also i just love good love stories
Ming Hua was born without arms. She did not lose them because she never had them.
True... thanks
Great video. May i inquire about the pronunciation of the characters names though?
Amon washes Unalock, idk what you're talking about.
#1 Nuatak
#2 Yakone
#3 Tarrlock
#4 Katarra
#5 Hama
Any other order is not valid
Katara in her prime is the most powerful waterbender. She is the best healer in the world, learnt blood bending in minutes and overpowered the creator of blood bending… Her big scale waterbending feats are comparable to avatar state korra’s feats… And she started from absolute zero. She is absolutely the most talented and skilled waterbender of all time. Of course she didn’t develop blood bending due to moral reasons, but I believe if she had, she could’ve been a bloodbender at the level of Amon and Yakone. Actually, blood bending won’t work on a stronger waterbender, that’s why the avatar state negates blood bending. So I think not even Amon Yakone or Tarrlok could blood bend katara because she is just the better waterbender
Stop wanking. Katara is strong but she’s not on the level of Amon.
this is simply not realistic. The only time katara blood bent was when there was a full moon. Amon could easily take her out and that’s okay. She was the best water bender of her time but Amon easily beats her unfortunately
I don't think Katara stood the chance against Amon. she would just lose her bending like the rest. Amon was way too strong so that could resist another bloodbender and recover within minutes after being struck by lightning while Aang was healing for weeks after Azula's attack. Amon is the strongest waterbender in my book.
Cap
Katara was a more powerful bender than Hama. Of course she didn't develop blood bending not due to moral reasons but because she didn't know that could be done and nobody else did because Hama was the first to develop it. And it's a good thing that Katara lobbied against blood bending because when blood bending is used on someone it causes psychological effects on a person. And Avatar Ang and Avatar Korra never learned and used blood bending
katara at no 4 is a crime she was really strong at 14-15 imagine her in her prime
What about korra?
He talk about 1 element not the avatars
@@Yleam
I know but in the air raking he put aang in the ranking
That fight between Kya and Zaheer had me gagged bc like the level of detail within the fight alone. The little water ring that she shoots ice out of, actually diminished. Obvs like it was an unfair battle but sis did her thing!
Amon is a terrifying opponent to face
Yes he is😉
Nice one
Thanks 🔥
Katara's waterbendeing style is more unique than you might think. Her basics are self taught which already makes it unique, was taught northern style and mastered it. I don't think she mastered or even got close to mastereing southern style since she spend not even a week with Hama. Her bloodbending is basic, but being one of only two bloodbenders at the time already makes you unique. What people seems to often forget is that while she learned northern style properly, she is still mostly self taught and spend more time among earthbenders. Her movement and technic is closer to that of an earthbender.
Her dual with Hama is a great example. She blocks and strike most of the time rather than using her opponent's strengths against them, while Hama fights like a proper waterbender by redirecting Katara's attacks.
This could explain why Tarlok's and Korra's style of waterbending is also aggressive compared to their relatives in the North. Seems like the South Pole was affected a lot by this.
MingHua is a game changer in this series. How can you imagine a bender without arms? On top that, she's really good at combat. So it kinda feels illegal to place her on a low rank.
Hama didnt take blood bending to another level SHE CREATED BLOOD BENDING!
Nope, she discovered it. In Kyoshi's story, she was a master bloodbender, to the point of being able to freeze blood inside someone
@@joyhammer3148 Freezing blood is not the same as bloodbending. That's just plain regular phaseshifting/waterbending.
@@joyhammer3148well, she didn't know Kiyoshi did anything like that, in her time of desperation she came up with something called blood bending, so yeah, she actually did invent it and besides, what Kiyoshi did wasn't blood bending
@@greaterlight even if she didn't know, it doesn't mean she "invented" it if someone actually did it before her. She's indeed the catalyst who made it known to the world, but it was already used centuries before. Here's an example: Let's say on a foreign island who never had any contact with the world, someone discovers that you can make fire by using stones, would you say they "invented" lighting stones? Or rather they discovered it?
And excuse me, bloodbending is not "bending the blood itself", it's "bending the water INSIDE the blood". Just like mudbending and plantbending are about bending the water inside mud and plants. So if Kyoshi froze someone's water inside someone's blood, thus freezing someone's blood, then yeah she did bloodbend. Unless we haven't read the same book.
I’d have thought Korra would have been in there somewhere. I thought her water bending skills were quite good. Especially as she’s the avatar from a water bending tribe…
How I wish Katara was power hungry so we would've seen how she beats these other waterbenders in the ranking to a pulp. I want to see her bloodbend while in rage. 😂
All bloodbenders are by definition better than all other benders. Amon 1, yakone 2, tarrlok 3, this top 3 is undenieble
Yakon worse father ever ?? Are we forgetting about ozai
Nah you forgetting goku
@@Reallybruh99 nah goku is an idiot but I wouldn't call him a bad dad he loves his boys
@@Mechadroid209 dude gave cell a senzu
no problem about Yue, but Katara is the real master of water bending, she deserves to be on top. She was only around 14 during her journey with the avatar. So she is the strongest, she can even beat Unalaq in a battle following with Amon.
I don't care what anyone thinks about the legend of Korra, It's still one of the best!
Even though i don't like the show, but i agree
Still waiting for a Waterbender to completely master temperature control and Steambending. We've seen Katara bend steam when she helped to destroy the Fire Nation drill. We even saw her create fog when she acted as the Painted Lady. However, nobody ever frequently incorporates steam and water vapor into their Waterbending except for Hama, who only uses it to convert water vapor into water to extract water from thin air. This requires a waterbender to condense and cool the water vapor, and obviously turning water into ice also requires cooling water. Katara creating fog during her Painted Lady act would have required her to heat the water up. Based on that, we know that Waterbenders should be able to control the temperature of their water.
Nickalodeon would have never done this because it would have been too violent, but it would be much more deadly in combat for Waterbenders to wield scalding hot water against their enemies so that the water wouldn't only deal blunt force damage or cutting damage, but also heat damage. Related to this, if one were to master Steambending to the point where they could flash enough water to steam at once, they could use this ability to generate pressure explosions as destructive as Combustionbending since steam takes up much more volume than liquid water. Steambending also opens up many more sources of water to the user. Hama demonstrated this by bending the water vapor in her immediate vicinity into small amounts of water, but seeing how the most powerful Waterbenders are able to bend water from great distances, it should be possible to bend the water in the clouds from the ground and then condense them as a water source. A Steambender would also be able to wield hot steam as a deadlier version of airbending, creating gouts of steam capable of burning victims, or gathering a large amount of invisible humidity and then condensing parts of it into water or ice for unpredictable attacks. One could even just freeze a person instantly with invisible water vapor.
And then you could take this even further, so long as your morals are more questionable, by combining temperature control, Icebending, and Steambending with Bloodbending. A Steambender who can also Bloodbend would be able to make their foes simply explode on the spot, and a Bloodbender can also freeze their foes' internal organs. In fact, Avatar Kyoshi actually froze the heart and lungs of one of her enemies to instantly kill him, so we know it's possible. And to maybe use Bloodbending for something more ethical, a Bloodbender with healing abilities could theoretically heal someone using the liquids already present in that person's body, healing them without the need for an external water source.
Tarrlok that low hurt my feelings
Not to many feats to rank him higher.
@@MindBursterzHe was a strong blood bender, just because of that he is only second to Amon. No one of the benders on the list can match their power. Listing Unalaq and the moon girl is pretty unfair considering the way they got their power and they basically became powerful spirits. Blood bending is a hack ability, but as we saw Tarlok and Amon using it without the moon just puts them way way higher than other water benders.
he beat tenzin, bolin, mako, lin, asami, and two others in broad daylight with ease. Katara can't even do that@@MindBursterz
My granddaughter was named after Katara. When we all heard the name, we were like, “…what?”. Her mom explained she took it from this show.
No. 1 was exceptionally!!
These commenters are so deluded. Katara is extremely powerful, yes, and a world class water bender and healer, but she is NOT a blood bending master.
She showed prodigy potential, but she never mastered this art. By choice.
Amon literally used blood bending to take away peoples ability to bend the elements, and not even Katara was able to heal that or reverse the effects. Katara also never learned spirit bending.
Her being your favorite character does not make her the most powerful. She was appropriately ranked. Great video 👍
Imagine Pakku in his prime
That's what I was thinking he probably was nasty.
Hama too. You don't end up the last waterbender standing in the South for no reason...
