Fr It’s the most OP element easily Can just fly away from threats or simply use it for travel Stop someone from breathing Could use it to breath underwater I assume And it counters Fire and Water easily
@jshazgaming5953 the Nomads were pacifists. That doesn't mean their bending wasn't useful for combat, it was, just that they weren't interested in using it that way.
But that's the water I think. If it's JUST climate he's fine. Because fire hurts him but he doesn't complain of being "too hot" even when they were trying to suffocate his ability him with fires sticking the air around him. He's just weaker not succumb by the heat itself
@@MariThomas01 Sokka says in the very first episode that it's late night and the sun is still up. This indicates that it's late spring in the southern hemisphere. Kyoshi Island still has snow because it's apparently far enough south that late spring snow is a thing.
@@AtarahDerek nope, sokka makes a joke about midnight sun madness but its winter. There is snow at the southern air temple and kyoshi island too. When they meet haru in imprisoned its still cold. Shortly after that they have the winter solstice episode which is in December.
As soon as I saw the elements as a kid, I knew airbending would be the most ludicrous. I mean, air is everywhere, people need it, and if it's fast enough, it can cut through things.
This reminds me of a speculation a friend and I made that the process to get tattoos could theoretically be done by replacing a needle in the tattoo process with air bending effectively air bending the ink into the skin. Which also would link with the fact that airbender are especially spiritual and based on how many of them rigidly follow custom it is a possibility that that is how it is done. Another possibility would be using air bending to essentially move the needle in and out of, meaning take the place of a tattoo machine, the skin. Just off the top of my head it could be done by passing air through a tube below the needle for example. That might allow an airbender to control the speed of the needle either through air bending directly or through a simple mechanism that blocks flowing air intermittently thus allowing the needle to move back and then blowing air to move it up when unblocked. Such as a spinning circle the circumference of the chamber.
Not to mention you can't really cut off someone's access to air. Not without killing them anyway. Restraining or containing an airbender is difficult because of that aspect. The only thing you can do to contain them is restrict their movements so they can't efficiently bend the elements around them, like how zhao did in the episode the blue spirit.
@@im_jordan_ Definitely moreso with water. Realistically, controlling water in a person should be no more difficult than plant bending if not easier. They rip water straight out of wood after all, WOOD! Blood bending is in fact an arbitrary nerf to what should be accessible to all water bending. Since our very squishy 70% water on average bodies are just fleshy water balloons. And no, earth and air most definitely cannot control the body. Pure water exists in the body. Pure earth and air does not. Oxygen and nitrogen is chemically locked into organic compounds aka not air. Same with every imaginable atomic element found in earth aka no longer earth.
Actually it's mostly that because they're airbenders and possess the ability to manipulate and control the air that they're moreso creating a slipstream around themselves so as to redirect the air and temperature from hitting their bodies which would influence them otherwise.
I could be wrong, but I don't think its that they warm/cool the air. Air is a very good insulator. This is why clothing that traps air is worn in cold climates (hence the parkas and whatnot). I think its more that in cold climates they prevent nearby air from escaping their bodies, causing them to retain their body heat, while in hot climates, they circulate nearby air to release as much body heat as possible.
Every element can change the temperature of what they’re bending. Water turns into ice or steam, and we’ve seen some fires burning hotter than others (Azula) even Earthbender has that huge jump into magma bending.
@@TheRaineyManin those examples energy is released or absorbed by a change of state in the matter they turn ice into water into steam etc, changing the temperature of the air could be analogous to making cold fire. Also aren't all the known lava benders half fire Nation?
@@FrancisR420hasn’t been proved, just theorized. We only know of 4. 1 of which is an avatar so don’t really count. We don’t know Ghazan or Sun’s parentage and Bolin is where the theory originated
No if anything the fire benders would have to warm the heat in their body would arguably be easier than to change the temperature of the air around you
I don't find this very surprising since in the end, all 4 bending disciplines aren't very much different. Bending is still pretty much manipulating energy inside and around them. "The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation." - Guru Pathik
Each bender has the potential to change the temperature of their element. It just seems to be more common in water and air benders. We've seen earth benders raise the temperature of their element to create and bend lava (which is just molten rock).
Pretty sure way back in the day the avatar extra episodes of ATLA with all the little trivia pop-ups mentioned something about it being a breathing technique to keep himself warm.
@@FrancisR420it is sort of a thing, just not to the extent that aang shows. You will still get hypothermia in freezing weather I'm pretty sure the actual technique is called breath of fire or something like that.
Further solidifiying my theory that the elements, fire and air in particular, are more intertwined than most are led to believe. Though my following of Bleach and how it handles elemental powers (TL;DR: temperature IS a power unto itself), probably factors into this.
Guru Pathik did say the barrier between the elements are an illusion after all, and while Fire Avatars were once the best at using lavabending, it was the Earthbenders of the former Fire Nation colonies that were the first non-Avatars to develop its use
Temperature is not power it's energy specifically kinetic energy or the particles power would be the heating decided by time since the start of the heating
I personally think air and water are the most intermixed due to the fact that the air contains water. Also buoyancy is relative to the fluid around the object. Fluid dynamics is used to represent wind physically to let us see better
@@jonahkolellYeah, I see what you’re saying; but then I also think about air and it’s relation to the other elements: small pockets water molecules suspended in air (water vapor), oxygen in air combusting to keep fire alive, small pockets of earth being scattered (dust). There’s a relation to be had with each element and they’re all equally substantial in their own disposition. Going off what Guru Pathik said, to start saying that one element, or one relationship of two elements, is better is to put up the illusion of separation, since it starts to categorize items of superiority and inferiority, when there is none. Everything’s connected.
I've actually known that it's an airbender ability. Didn't Uncle Iroh tell Zuko that it was in Airbender ability to control temperature. That was towards the end of book 1.
Also the coolest part about this is that iroh knew about that and taught it to zuko so even when zuko is in the freezer box at boiling rock he is able to use that technique to keep his bending at full power!
Well fire needs oxygen to burn. So it is actually part of air. Like Guru Pathic said the seperation of the elements is actually an illusion all elements are the same within
Earth is not fire. Argue all you want that earth is life and fire is life energy and I'll tell you that earth is a substance used by life while fire is a reaction that shows a transfer of energy.
I'm actually shocked it took them that long to write that in. Noone at all during the writing of TLA ever asked why Aang isn't freezing cold while all the other characters have extremely thick coats?
It seems to make total sense when you remember that they primarily lived in these mountain top monasteries and also spent a ton of time high up in the air on their bison. I'm surprised they don't still have some warm clothes though, since I don't think you can bend while sleeping
I think it is less about the airbending but more about the fact that air is a great isolator when used right, mainly because gases have a lot of spaces i between them, energy transfers literaly need contact between molecules to interact which less likely and by so you condense/ make it less condensed and by so cooling/ heating the body by making the molecules less or more likely to interact
I believe it's more like how a winter coat uses the fact that air is a good insulator and just holds that air where it is thus being a good insulator and airbenders can just do that with the air around their skin and hold it there. I love magic systems that incorporate science and logic.
Iroh reminds him to use his breath of fire to keep warm at the siege of the north - the same Iroh that invented lightning redirection by observing water benders and told him to keep a solid foundation (an importaint part of earthbending) during the agni kai against Commander Zhao - it’s an airbending move, and Iroh is a master at learning from others.
It’s not that they heat or cool the air, it’s a breathing technique they use to regulate their own body temperature. It states it in the novel ‘The Rise of Kyoshi’ and I thought they mentioned it in one of the animated series too but I could be wrong on that
That actually makes a lot of sense. And it’s not like the show was taking shortcuts with the clothes either like some animes since the characters all frequently changed clothes except Aang
I honestly thought they'd just gather and condense air around themselves in cold weather, like how furred animals keep warm by trapping air in their fur, creating an insulant.
It's a known technique for multiple forms of bending to use your breath to regulate body temperature, fire bending simply applies or extracts heat, water bending does the same, but specifically in the water in the body of the user, air does the same, but with the air in and around your body, I think earth is the only one that doesn't have a shown or referenced body temperature regulation technique.
When you think about it, water and air both, at some point, a crossover with fire. Water benders can increase or decrease water temperature to create steam, liquid water, or ice. Air benders can manipulate temperature of the air. Firebenders really get kinda shafted, when you get down to it. A powerful enough water bender could actually create explosions from manipulating temperatures in ice, and manipukate the temperature of water in the air (and thus air) to prevent fire benders from igniting anything. Likewise, a strong enough air bender could cool down the air around a fire bender such that they can't ignite anything (or just remove the air, but that isn't a crossover section). It's long been my opinion that, especially as water also got "healing", fire should have had the ability to restore life itself (which would also have made for the possibility of a cool Ozai return plot, if done well).
Considering Iro studied around the world to develop different fire ending techniques (lightning bending by waring water benders- cannon; studying search bending to learn to "break someone's root"- theory) he probably taught Zuko the hot air breathing by learning about the air nation!
That makes sense. Same way how Zahier was able to fly. Just instead of cold and heat your small aura bubble to move you with ease like a muscle flex when walking or running.
I could have sworn that Pre-Korra there was an official explanation going around that Airbenders could "Regulate their body temperature with their breathing."
Honestly this makes sense since air is surprisingly a good insulator. It is one of the reasons why igloos work so well. Yes they are made from snow but that snow has a lot of air pockets. Not only does it help make the igloo strong yet light enough to support itself and stop the wind but they help keep the warmth leaving our bodies and keep it inside the igloo.
This air bending style goes back to the days when avatar young to discovered that you can change the temperature of air in her mouth by air bending inside her body
He was about the only person doing decently in the desert as well. He was probably having trouble focusing his air bending since he was also so upset about Appa being stolen.
This is actually the reason fur and fluffy coats work. The hairs impede much of the movement, and a layer of warm, stationary air forms close to the body, acting as a barrier against cold air moving around and drawing heat away.
One thing that’s really interesting about this is that I think it’s probably based off Tibetan tummo breathing practices. If I remember right (and I could be wrong!), there’s some science to back up that tummo breathing can actually help the practitioner retain body heat or else endure the cold.
You know that is close to the fire bending ability with breathing. They both have some basis in reality because if you control your breathing you can warm yourself up or cool yourself down. I can warm myself but I can’t cool down. David Blane also uses these techniques as well as Tibetan monks.
A bending style that can control the temperature around you, being able to literally suck the air out of peoples lungs and even allows you to fly without the need of a glider? I'd say that's and damn good element to learn.
So if you pay attention, Aang did wear an extra layer or two in the water tribes area. It wasn't much extra though, like a longer robe but this explains why he gets away with that
i think it makes more sense anatomically speaking that he applies air bending to his breathing and control of the air inside of his lungs + oxygen in his blood

Wait! You mean whenever Aang is in the cold, he's constantly airbending? Like subconsciously?!
Damn!
So if you pay attention, Aang did wear an extra layer or two in the water tribes area. It wasn't much extra though, like a longer robe but this explains why he gets away with that
i think it makes more sense anatomically speaking that he applies air bending to his breathing and control of the air inside of his lungs + oxygen in his blood
tbh, I would've just accepted that he was in an iceberg for 100 years though
That is awesome!!!
