I love how our Airbender discombobulated his opponent by attacking his senses. That’s a creative use of air bending we haven’t seen yet.
DISCOMOBULATE. DISCOMOBULATE. DISCOMOBULATE. Hehhehe
Sherlock moment
@@botabonk1253 you failed to spell “discombobulate” three times
@@dabreadman9677 💀
Cool idea, but haven't earthbenders been able to see thou their feet. Like Toph
I love how the fight wasn't started by the airbender, since they are pacifistic. Also incredible animation as always :)
I think it would’ve been better if the airbender helped the earthbender get up at the end. Just a small touch to show that airbenders are, indeed, pacifistic
@@Invinci445 That doesn't make any sense, being a pacifist means you're going to avoid causing harm as much as you physically can it doesn't mean that you're going to shake hands with someone who just tried to kill you.
@@zack-ronald259 it’s called being pacistic
@@Invinci445 what
@@Invinci445 being non combative doesn't immediately also mean instantly forgiving... or foolish.
Lets ignore that as a young guy straight out of a fight his adrenaline and caution would still be up and who the hell knows if the beligerent earth bender wouldn't just get right back to being an asshole.
Beyond that, a general rule of air nomad society was non aggression but we also see that ,past that baseline, they were still imperfect people in a highly individualistic society. This young guy has many journies ahead to develop his personality and sensibilities.
I love the fact that it doesn't finish harshly, and instead the air bender is just making him fix his broken paraglider. It's almost kinda wholesome, the rock guy wanted a challenge and the air guy was just having a glide.
Yeah it feels like two very powerful benders sparring
This gives me the image of the Earthbender is constantly challenging the Airbender to fights because he's the only guy around strong enough to give him a real challenge. And the Airbender is just: "You again? Can you give it a rest buddy? I'm trying to meditate here."
@@jahrusalem3658 I love that 😂
@jahrusalem3658 If you know about Opm, then that sounds like Saitama vs Sonic 😂
@BeDatAPickle I love One Punch Man and that first episode with Sonic had me laughing so much 😂
1:58 Seismic sense vs. air resistant. He can use earth bending to feel his movements. However, a bald air bender can react quickly to an object hurling at them. So they cancel kinda cancel each other out.
lol thats what i wanted to say
Yea but not all earth benders have seismic sense with only some being great masters in the earth bending category like toph
Tru and clearly this guy is near toph but he's up there so I'm not surprised he's capable@@Ps019
@@tavairushernandez4588it’s not all all surprising seismic sense is a technique anyone can learn
Seismic sense is a rare ability most earth benders don’t have, let alone are even aware of. Besides, air benders can pick themselves up off the ground which deems seismic sense pretty much useless. It’s why toph lost to Aang so easily. I think air would have the advantage.
I love that the disoriented earth bender kinda desperately throws rocks around after being being temporarily crippled. It gives them a lot of emotion and character even if this isn’t meant to be story based.
It also shows his lack of experience since a more skilled earth bender would have used seismic sense (assuming this is after tophs era)
@@olaynriverajr8316 pretty sure seismic sense doesnt work considering that the airbender blew up the guy's eardrums
but that also raises the question of if seismic sense is about hearing the vibrations in the earth or just feeling them; i think that it should just be feeling them and that being deaf is irrelevant but maybe jared thought otherwise
@@inkkles toph said that she can feel the vibrations through her feet remember so I’m pretty sure being deaf is irrelevant.
“It’s kinda like seeing with my feet” - Toph
Toph was only able to use seismic sense because she was forced to. In real life, loosing one of your senses actually makes one of your other sense much more attuned.
@@andrewtimothy1937 By that logic, Aang wouldn't have seismic sense?? {Which he most certainly does, shown when he wrecks Ozai} So, Yeah she was forced to use it, but it's not exclusive
Obviously the animation is stellar, but can we talk about the sound design too? It lines up so well with the choreography and they made everything match up so well! It really sets it apart from your standard action scene :D
Lets not ignore the music
sound design is underrated as fuck
the animation is mostly traced from the show
@@PeptoAbismol, It's like householding shores. No one pays attention unless it's done wrong.
Na verdade o som é a parte mais fácil do vídeo (somente muita edição, já que se pode encontrar os efeitos sonoros gratuitamente no TH-cam). Aparentemente você apenas quis chamar atenção.. e conseguiu sksksk
The detail of the Earthbender parting the dust cloud was super cool since they're in a rocky terrain so the cloud would primarily be made from rocks
But so can airbenders as Aang did in the episode where Zuko is fighting g with the pirates
I love the way you portrayed both elements, the airbender didn't start the fight since they are peaceful and still managed to win it, showing how strong and powerful they can be, as well as using their opponent's strength against themselves, eluding him and even taking away his vision and hearing without seriously injuring him.
And basically teaching the earthbender that what he gets for trying to pick fights lol
That clap to the ear with a wind blast after blinding the Earthbender was absolutely stunning. What an animation!! What a fight!!
It was stunning for the Earthbender too
I love at the end where the earth bender is seen fixing his glider 😂😂😂
Which minute ?
@@you5o Watch at 2:20
Airbender blinds the Earthbender by sending dirt to his eyes. Then claps his ears with two short simultaneous wind blasts.
💥Jared Koh did a great job.👍🏻
But can we also acknowledge the fact that God gave him the gift in animation.❤️
A lot of people sadly don’t know this; God is left out most of the time … ignored.😔
I tought Water vs fire was top tier, but this is just insane, choreography and camera movement is amazing! Animation is great as always but I still see big improvement
Thanks so much I try to better myself every project 😄
@@red_jar we should thank you for being an inspiration and making epic animations
earth vs air is just fire vs water 2
It's a masterpiece and all but it's my duty to be annoyed earth lost.
If you like this then go watch combat gods
You can see that the airbender’s fighting style is very floaty and agile. They are also trying their best to avoid collateral damage. Very true to the show.
I don’t think people understand how well animated this is. You have capture the exact style of air and rather bending while adding your own beautiful choreography. This is on par with the animation in the actual show
You can tell the personalities and characteristics without them even uttering a word, phenomenal work!
Yeah there is no arguing the the characters show a lot of personality, but part of the reason you notice them in this animation, is because you have an imprint of the characters from the last airbender in your head. When you think airbender, you think ang and his personality. When you think of a generic earthbender with eyesight you think of those hardened benders that are more rough and serious in a fight.
@@MobikSaysStuff Absolutely! Even with the preconscious and stereotyping from "The Last Airbender" (and the other one) Jarod Koh added onto what he could have gotten away with as 1D characters (Ha). From what I've noticed (and made up).
The Earth bender, being spiteful and easily startled leans away from his character archetype though adds to his traditional fighter and tough character.
The Air bender despite his monk aesthetic and background, seemed to be quick to react in anger with fast retaliation and lack of holding back (bro literal broke his back), this paired well with his cleverness and sharp senses.
Sorry about any grammar mistakes I'm a bit tried.
@@MobikSaysStuff not really i've never watched avatar and i felt that
I havent watched avatar and i can still tell exactly who they are and their personalities
how do they draw airbending
Thanks for watching guys! This took around 2 months to make while working a full time job, so this project has been a daily routine for me every night. Had tons of fun planning and seeing it all come together, hope you guys enjoy! ☺
Edit: For those who thought why didn’t the Earthbender use seismic sense after the Airbender put some dirt in his eye, the Airbender slapped him in the ears to deafen and disorient him which made it difficult to focus on seismic sense.
You my new favourite youtube animater
I'm amazed by your work. Only 2 months while having a full time job is very impressive. And the quality of the animation is astonishing. Hope to see more of you in the future.
I love this I can tell you put a lot of time in this keep it up only if you’re staying healthy!
Is your other job animation related?
If no, that's a huge waste of talent?
@@otaku4204 Appreciate it! Good thing about personal projects is that there's no deadline so I didn't push myself too hard or I would just had given up on it.
I don’t know if anyone else picked up on this, but I LOVE the little detail at 3:09 of the Airbender using his staff to jump off to gain added height in order to strengthen his attack. Very very well done and amazing attention to detail.
The bending animation and storytelling you do is honestly leagues ahead of Legend of Korra IMO. The creativity and personality of the characters are conveyed visually and show an amazing understanding of “show don’t tell”
I like how they're not super powerful being, the airbender doesn't have weightlessness nor does he pull out the air from the earthbender's lungs, we also don't see metal nor lava bending
They're just casual benders, one's just chilling and the other wanted a challenge
Always thought it was interesting that airbenders essentially have one of the 'strongest' bending styles due to the versatility. The attacks are nearly invisible, they're disorienting, and not to mention being able to fly is incredible. I love how you captured the abilities and characteristics of each style. Also, the 'break dance' move goes so hard.
The attacks must not be too invisible Azula and Zuko didn’t have trouble with Aang air
@@lamarjrrj you can hear it coming
@@justflex6745 It has never been invisible Azula has beater aang air multiple times
@@lamarjrrjo be fair, Azula is someone who would never hold back, Aang is someone who always tries to fight to subdue not to kill. An air bender who's trying to win by killing is op as fuck
@@onyxstyx9552 zaheer in a nutshell
I'm losing my mind at the choreography, facial expressions, and the sheer weight and *impact* of every attack. The dedication for this project oozes from every corner! Good job!

The way you portrayed the fundamentals of each fighting style is splendid. How the earth bender stood his ground, used the terrain to an advantage, tried to get rocks in the way of his opponent´s path to dodging, and went for plenty of frontal atacks to overwhelm him. Meanwhile, the airbender tried to find an angle, dodged all he could, was versatile and prioritized mobility and atacks of oportuniy, even before falling to the ground after taking a hit.
I fucking loved this.
I really like how much you emphasized the Airbender being pacifistic, but far from harmless. Monk Gyatso would be proud.
Phenomenal. The use of kicks and stomps to launch boulders into the air before slamming them again and sending them flying is just so satisfying, as was Zuko's signature breakdance move translated into an airbender technique. Not to mention the sequence immediately after that - dust cloud giving me Blind Bandit vibes with that smile in the middle. Sound design also top-notch, accentuated each hit very well, and blaring horns accompanying key parts of the fight were perfectly placed. 10/10.
Actually I think Zuko adapted that from air bending! I think!
Zuko learned from Iroh that studying all elements makes you a better bender overall. Lightning bending was derived from water bending forms
@@timeguy6112 I think “redirecting lightning” was from learning water bending, not the lightning itself
What a masterpiece, it was animated so well
Thank youuu 😁😁😁
@@red_jar What's next
@@hamdullaharya2295 Hmm We'll see :)
@@red_jarI need to know what you used to animate this
@@red_jar What about Hair vs Later?
1:12 Imagine how badass it is just start breakdancing in midair
I love how the earthbender tends to block more while the airbender dances and dodges around
The sequence from 1:50 onwards is probably my favourite, because you can very clearly infer the earthbender's strategy and thoughts without even seeing him most of the time.
The moment the airbender takes a single step on the ground, the earthbender's picked him up on his tremorsense - you can see him smirk for a brief moment, as if to say 'there you are!'. So he launches a rock at that location, only for the airbender to dodge and counterattack immediately. Attacking from an unseen location alone won't work, the airbender's reflexes are too honed.
So for his next attack, he makes sure to immobilise the airbender first, then launch a bigger rock that he can't deflect with air.
The fact that all of that was communicated with no dialogue is a testament to how well done the choreography is.
Your attention to detail amazes me.
Bit of a nitpick but
Seismic sense*
I love how at the end the earth bender fixes the airbender's staff😂
This was an incredible animation!!
i love creative avatar fights without the intent of killing the opponent because if you were trying to kill someone literally all elements have some sort of instakill move
One subset of air ending we've only seen Yangchen do in the books: Soundbending
Which if you think about it, can be deviststing as the applications are quite varied.
And a subset of earthbending that can be pretty terrifying would be glass bending... Literally melting sand and flipping it between it's liquid and solid states like a water bender does with water and ice.
Technically,glass is always a liquid that flows very slowly,so bending it like water or lava should be possible
Metal is better than glass glass isn't durable
And lava is destructive.
@@kyleskendle6452 glass isn't durable, but it's actually more harder than steel and can tear through it.
We don't think of glass being that way because we are used to seeing it as thin plates for windows or fragile vases, but glass has a hardness of 5, steel is only 4.5.
(for reference, wax has the hardness of 0.5 and diamond has the hardness of 10)
The return of the King
Can’t leave you guys hanging 😊
Yes 😀
@@red_jar the God of animation has spoken to us!
All hail the animation God!!
Avatar Studios would be insanely stupid to not hire you. This is incredible. The choreography is not only spectacular, but it's accurate to the martial arts used in the show for the chosen bending styles. Slap that on top of the absolutely perfect sound design and mixing and I got a fuckin endorphin rush just listening to the whole thing. Sensational work. Can't imagine how long it took. With a movie coming up and a new show announced (with an Earthbender being the lead no less), the team making them would be more than lucky to have you. Raw talent. Keep doin what you're doin kiddo
fr, hire this man
But The Avatar series had been already completed. He saw this martial art techniques from them.
@@princessazula624 True. But the animator also got surprisingly creative and invented new moves that haven't been seen before while still remaining faithful to the way the bending styles are depicted in the show.
@@bloutman760 Bro there are like 5 movies and a lot more shows that have been confirmed to be in the works starting with all years in the 2020s.
@@princessazula624for like an entire I don’t even know how many years at this point we’ve known about Avatar Studios and how they’re working on more stuff
I like to think that the airbender was just travelling to one of the temples but was interrupted because the earthbender wanted to prove his worth or have some fun for himself.
We can see it didn't go well for them. One has to get his glider fixed and the other has to fix it, and they're in a literal rocky place with no other person in kilometers where you can be lost.
Probably they became friends after this.
I absolutely love how he doesn't have that seismic sense thing because not many earth benders learned it
(Toph, her blindness, and her future family are from the future, so they've adapted to learn it from the start while people from the past havent)
2:20 I specifically love this sequence of events. The dive is animated perfectly and the air-dust attack and ear clap are so satisfying and fit perfectly into the avatar universe even though they were never used in the show. Very creative and excellent!
very realistic as having your ears whipped while being blinded would make you desperately swing your arms around
Discombobulated
I live for these “single camera, no cuts” moments, 1:26 they’re so hard to do but done right look absolutely awesome. Fantastic work!
yeah and its so much easier to focus and really see and picture whats going on unlike in movies where it cuts every second
yea most of the time it would show the character doing a move, then cut to the effects of the move that they made without showing the body movements. I mean I'm fine with that, animation ain't easy. but that's why instances like this are praiseworthy.
@@twitzmixx8374 preach
I love the visualization of the air bending, how fluid the motion was and the Tai chi that he uses 100/10
I love how you've been able to make this so incredibly realistic!
I'm not just talking about the animation. The personalities and reactions are incredible too, not to mention them running out of stamina realistically!
This whole thing is just so incredible, you're awesome at this!
3:18 Air bender:man, I know I broke 2 of your ribs with that fall but... fix my little plane there
I actually can't believe you don't have a waaaaaaaay bigger audience than you do. This is amazing man. Your animations remind me of Sadist, who blew up from making Dream SMP animations a while back. Keep going and I'm sure you'll get similar success!
Thank you so much 😀
IKR BRO I GET SADIST VIBES FROM THE STYLE
@@red_jarI love at the end where earth is fixing airs glider cus he broke it😊
RIGHT!!
Better animatiors have less of an audience, and worse animators have more of one. It's not a matter of the quality more of how well you market yourself as a creator. It's sorta why sadist is where she is now. Not that she's bad at what she does it's just not at the quality of animations like this.
this fight just goes to show how underrated airbenders are.
absolutely phenomenal. it must've taken a lot of work being true to the source material but also having a lot of cool new moves mixed in there. i can't express enough how much i love this. fantastic job.
Gods I adore the accuracy of the body language for each bending. To simplify, air as a dance and earth as a martial art, but the nuance in the motions both while airborne and grounded are phenomenal. Truly gorgeous animation
That outro gave me a chuckle. That aside impressive animation. That fighting was just insane combined with the sound design. I like how you used a more open space for the battlefield which makes it more dynamic in a way. Hoping for this to blow up so that more people can see this masterpiece!
It's cool that the air bender did not start the fight but still won it
Love how you weren't biased with any one bending and made them both use their fullest potential as creatively as possible. So awesome!
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING The after credit scene of the earthbender fixing the glider meekly with the air nomad supervising is hilarious
I love how you managed to tell a story during this fight without any words. The earthbender obviously gives off vibes of an overconfident bully who's clearly never fought someone his own size before while the airbender is a calm, pure hearted soul who wouldn't hurt a fly.
How ironic yet very satisfying that such a strong, hardened bruiser was taken down by a pacifist monk. Great animation.
I love every aspect and detail of this fight; the choreography is so natural, so smooth and very, VERY cool 👏
I love how he fixes the wind glider in the end.
An absolute masterpiece! I really love how you can the nature of both of the elements throughout the animation with air being more evasive and waiting for the right moment to strike and earth having a stronger stance and a more aggressive approach.
[Inserted]: "...and when we needed him most he returned"
Everything changed when I was lazy again, 100 years passed.. 🤤
Good lord this was such an awesome fight! Please continue making these, your fight choreography is so satisfying and the cinematography is just so dynamic. Absolutely amazing work! :D
This was one of the best animation fights I've seen so far. I would love to see Fire vs Air as the next animated fight on this channel.
i like how the earthbender was always trying to keep himself on the floor and on defensive waiting for the moment to strike (that is a good use of neutral jing) and him fixing the glider after he looses
The thing is you choose opposite elements for these duels is amazing, really love it sm.
Incredible animation, as a great many others have already pointed out, but *ALSO* jaw-dropping sound design! Every motion and collision felt so weighty, this was fantastically well made
THE AIRBENDER STEPPING OFF HIS OWN STAFF IS SUCH A COOL LITTLE DETAIL little shaolin monkey trick
I really love the end where from the previous vid, you only place the waterbender without a face but now you've added the Airbender having the earth bender fixing his glider 😂😂😂 You really put a lot to your videos. I also love how the fight was not immediately started as it was just calm before the storm. Keep up the magnificent work my guy 😁
Gotta love those acrobatics that you animated. Really fluid movements and non stop action that's so easy to follow.
And for this to get any better, is to implement the camera more and more puzzling moments. Like that smoke scene, you don't understand how satisfying it is. Someone using a niche technique and to use it for their own advantage to fight an opponent, it's just so good.
your videos are incredible!! all of them are cinematic masterpieces😭😭 love them all!!
This is so cool! I really love seeing the masters of the art(both the animation, and the Benders) showing their skills. A good and long bender battle is so cool and airbending is my favorite with fire right after it.
2:04 this is why it is a good idea to stay away from the ground when fighting an EARTH bender
I feel that an Airbender with Chi-Blocking would definitely be a potent force to face. I mean, their often pacifist ways would still allow for the disarming of their enemy's bending or physical attacks in general.
I hope u continue making these things. I know yt is kinda mean to animation channels, but your works are pure art. Especially these element bending animations. Im learning a lot. And thanx for everything
I literally have no words.
Its absoletely beautiful!
Keep up the good work!
3:07 thats probably my favourite move
i think that’s a firebending move
@@AcademicJaedon smh
All I want in life is for people to make amazing avatar animations just like this
Absolutely incredible
You've improve greatly. You did well with this one, their forms are more accurate. Your water bender from last time didn't feel like they are a water bender, it feels weird to see.
You're awesome that you were able to manage this, great work!
At this point this guy could animate a whole avatar movie without people knowing it’s him❤
2:30 dudeee that was from ang vs ozai battle sence i remembered thaat sick animation dude keep it going
I love how you also drew the fighting styles that the element uses. It perfectly replicates what it looks like in the show too!
2:22
POCKET SAND!
love that you incorporated sound into the airbender's attacks, slapping his ears with it
I like the genuineness of the choreography and simplicity to its concepts of motion
I also like the characterization of the air bender and Earth bender in a fight scenario not just so much personality but their weaknesses and strengths in battle
After nearly a year, the legend has returned to bless us with another fantastic animation!
That was incredible! I love how you stuck to the qualities of the respective elements; air being fast and agile while earth is slower and stronger
Man, I've literally been imagining an anime about the elements of the earth for months, and finding a video that perfectly captures the scenes in my head is just comforting and inspiring. Good job!!!
Have you never seen or heard of ATLA? Sure, it's not exactly an anime, but it comes pretty close. Maybe I'm just misinterpreting what you're looking for
insert overused "and when we needed him most he returned" comment here
Are we talking about Jared Koh or Aang?
Sadly, there’s a lot of people to say that about.
I love the designs of the characters. Some people think that simple characters aren't good, but I love how they look! Now I need to see fire vs. air

Your storytelling is so well done
The blind and deaf would've been a perfect showcase for seismic sense.
Impeccable choreography! How's everyone said the sound and the direction of acting an expression all line up perfectly. My favorite part is when you utilize airbending in such a unique way in that close quarter combat that involved smacking those ears to disrupt his balance and hearing. Brilliant!
Insane job man, the characterization with such simple designs is mental!
I LOVE IT, the avatar fan content is so good, a rarity between fandoms !
Again, love these! So creative and fun and brings back the bending we know and love :D
Such great animation and sound design!
Also love all the references you took from different moments of the show to recreate here…just lovely 💕
You make one of the best avatar fan animations man. You should give tutorials because I would love to learn how to animate like that. This is a masterpiece!
That was really good! Brought me back to my first time wathcing avatar and thinking on bending movements, well done!
These are AWESOME!!! I would love to see Fire vs Air next!
man this is phenomenal!!!! The sfx is insane and i can feel every impact, and i can tell the insane effort going into this, incredible work!!! Same can be said for the fire vs water animation you posted before this one!!!💫💫💫👏👏👏🤝🤝🤝
edit- also would love to know if you have any socials to follow you on!!
Glad you liked it! I forgot to add those in my description lemme go do it.
Okay the quality of the animation is stellar, and the soundtrack is amazing, but can we talk real fast about the fighting styles themselves?? Jared's interpretation of offensive airbending techniques is fantastic, and the emphasis on staff fighting was masterful. I caught a few different styles of staff fighting in there but the best shot was the Monkey Staff move where he climbed up the staff and used it as a launching move for that massive sweep downwards was incredibly well-executed. Well done, Jared. Loved it.
Please make more!!! I love this !!! You are amazing 💯
Earth and air are extremely hard counters to each other,Earth is slow to attack but makes up for it by having a strong defense, while air has weak defense but makes up for it in its fast offense
This was phenomenal. I love it when a fight scene almost feels like it’s own self-contained story, and this very much gave me that feeling. Great job!
There's some nods to the show in here as well! 0:23 is a thing Haru does in "Imprisoned", 1:22 is a move Aang does in "The Earth King" when they're storming the castle, 1:46 is similar to a move done by the airbender in the intro of the Legend of Korra, and 2:30 is a lot like the fight between Aang and Ozai when Aang is at his lowest point.
OMG IVE WATCHED THE WATER VS FIRE ONE AND ALWAYS WISHED YOU WOULD MAKE ANOTHER ONE
You just earned urself a new subscriber
bro your animations is so epic!!!
Wow, what a gorgeous animation!! And the movements really capture the essence of both Airbending and Earthbending so well! I could watch it over and over again.
Я просто не представляю сколько крови, пота, слёз и труда было вложено в это видео, просто великолепно 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Even the first scene of this is fucking brilliant, and IMMEDIATELY answers the question of “Well why couldn’t the airbender just run away?”, as the earthbender starts the conflict by hampering the airbenders fastest mode of escape! Amazing work!
absolutely love what you do. keep it up!
