Kya is a really great waterbender. Held her own really well, but sadly she lost. Katara taught her to be more of a healer than a fighter so that's understandable.
in my opinion is because she fought an Airbender. aside zuko, other airbenders, an a few still living people who fought aang in the past, there is no one alive with any knowledge or experience fighting against that element. I doubt she ever trained with her brother, much less had a serious element fight with him. you add the fact that zaheer is a damn expert on the whole martial art behind airbending, and it is not really surprising she lost.
Kya showed quite a few water AND air tactics. Showing Aang did give her attention. All 3 of Aang’s kids did pick up a lot of the air culture even those that weren’t airbenders.
a lot of characters in Korra are clearly shown to be great benders but lose fights a lot because they have the bad luck of battling the most powerful characters in the series; off the top of my head I know Kya, Tonraq, Tenzin, and the Beifong sisters are all victim to this
Might not be the nastiest in his crew, combat-wise he’s actually one of the worst. P’Li and Ghazan are the biggest threats and Ming Hua is one scary water bender
@@Dell-ol6hb Su's children spent their whole lives secluded behind the metal domes of Zaofu. In this episode we can see that she wasn't planning to let Opal go anywhere either. They were as sheltered as Toph was, albeit more obedient than her.
@@celian.6577 Yep, their 'prison' was larger and nicer. She doesn't hide them away and lets them pursue their interests, so long as those interests are in Zaofu. It's pretty sad given how Suyin clearly seems to look back fondly on her adventures throughout the world.
True and you can see the cycle toph was raised overly strict so she gave her kids too much freedom which led to suyin doing things she regrets and so she is strict with her kids so they don't get up to any of the stuff she did when she was a teenager its a cycle
@@celian.6577 hmm fair point ig that's the point of her letting Opal go to train with the Airbenders. Ig the point I meant was that she gives them more freedom than Toph's parents did to Toph in that they are at least allowed to roam the city which was never the case for Toph who was always confined to her family estate, but she still doesn't let them just wander the world on their own until Opal.
this part always pissed me off because lin was technically in the right in the end but everyone acted like her sister committing a crime and quite nearly killing her and several other people was fine because toph got her out of it.
I think that's the point. No one knew about Suyin's involvement in the incident because it was covered up by Toph. Even then none of the sisters tell other people about it because Toph wanted it to be covered up. So in Korra's mind all Suyin did was just be normal rebellious teenager while Lin was more professional. She doesn't know about the incident.
@@gbemilekeitabiyi2280 The issue isn't that Lin was wrong, the issue was that holding a 30 year old grudge towards someone who is clearly different and apologetic is wrong. And even more than that, her lashing out at Opal is 100% out of line, and that's important too.

Lin has been nothing but rejected her whole life and no one has cared. Tenzin, her mother, and her sister. She even did everything "right" and her mother still gave everything to Sue so she can't allow people in anymore and why she's become so tough and angry.
Well to Su's credit she did try to reconcile and reach out to her repeatedly over the years, so part of that was self-inflicted and it wasn't like Su was badmouthing her, clearly, Su was talking Lin up to her children because Opal wanted to meet her badly. If anything the person to blame for Lin's insecurities is Toph, nobody wants to lay the blame squarely on Toph because badass Toph is everyone's favorite and her stans will excuse her and shift the goal post and do mental gymnastics, but Toph had a duty to her daughters that should have come above and beyond everything else and she failed spectacularly. In spite of it, Lin and Su aren't completely awful.

@@Matthew-gl6ni I don't recall Su even implying that she wanted to invite Lin back to be part of the perfect family, I know she said she tried reaching out to Lin multiple times over the past 30 years to reconcile, that doesn't mean she was trying to get her to become part of her perfect family. It's like what Toph and Su did, Su didn't get Toph to come back and be part of the perfect family, Toph is still living in a swamp, but they were able to come together and talk and hash out their differences. I don't know where you are reading this whole thing where Su just wants Lin to come and be part of her family, because that's not how it reads at all, it reads as Su reaching an olive branch out to Lin and Lin rejecting it for 30 years. Lin has some intrinsic responsibility for her own misery and it's not until Lin actually confronts her sister as opposed to avoiding her sister that's she's able to attain her own inner peace again showing that her suffering is something that's just as much a self-inflicted thing as it is a result of Toph's bad parenting. I also never said that you said they were awful, I said they both turned out to be good people in spite of Toph's poor parenting.
@@sdragonfly5549 i don’t believe that Su reaching out was legit, I mean, when talking to Korra about their fight she talks about the circus and the sandbender commune but doesn’t mention that she marred her sister’s face or got her mother to commit a crime.

It was implyed that since zaheer was a nobender, he took inspiration from airbending culture and studied their beliefs and martial arts his whole life. That's why he knows so much about the air nomad's history and how he's so good at airbending right from the get go.
Similar to the original (I actually don't know if they were the first) Air Acolytes. They learned over a hundred airbending-like movements to fight. Zaheer most likely learned those.
The creators gave two hints to who Sue's father is 1) The water-tribe wrappings around her hands 2) She said she collects rare meteorites, like a certain someones sword was made of...
@stream dance like nobody’s watching to be fair i didn't know it was him Sunglasses and hat can be effective in some cases too actually had that happen to me and it worked
When Sheera said that Zaheer struggled against Kya a bit so she's gonna struggle against Korra, I thought she's going to say "so he's definitely struggle against TENZIN". Because 🤭
Y'all really forgetting that Korra is a master of 3 elements, she's not just the avatar for the title. The threat that the Red Lotus pose seems so dangerous for Korra because they work really well as a team and in comparison, Korra's teammates are just not up to par. But individually, Korra can take them. Beating Vatuu before he fused with Unalaq is the testament of her power. I don't think any of her enemies can do that.
Yeah for real. The only reason she lost in book 2 was because Mako and Bolin failed to keep Unalaq away like they were supposed to. Regardless of what people say, the ending of book 2 is not Korra’s weakness showing, it’s the weakness of her friends.
@@Gamelover254 It gets kinda tiring to see people shit on the character unnecessarily, it gets even weirder when they spew out shits that don't really hold some truth.
@@marlongreen6448 Haters really push "omg she sucks" without providing reasonable statement 😂 No one can really beat the Avatar in the Avatar State, she lost because she was half-dead due to mercury poisoning. The avatar state is keeping her alive as a defense mechanism.
Nobody is talking about this so I guess I will, The scene where Korra is teaching Opal airbending is pretty cool because Opal is Tophs GrandDaughter, Toph was Aangs earth bending teacher and now Aang is teaching Tophs granddaughter air bending in his next life.
That’s actually pretty funny. No connection means, when Korra gets call T_______ T___, it holds no meaning at all because Aang isn’t even there to hear it.
@@KaozKaiser09 Even though the easy access to previous lives' memories is gone, reincarnation means it's the same soul in different bodies across lifetimes. Because of that, to say that "Aang" isn't there is just wrong.
Remember that dancer that sue yin is training with that is at the center of the dance. Not the one with the short hair but the other one. She keeps appearing secretly throughout book 3 and she's a pretty significant character. You will also find out her name eventually..!
Honestly Kya really popped off here especially considering that she's never really been a fighter, she spent years travelling the world to find herself and she is much more of a healer than a fighter. And she was up against Zaheer who was one of the most dangerous criminals in the world before he got bending
Not only is Zaheer seemingly very spiritual, but he was also pretty good at martial arts from what I can tell. I’m not surprised that he got so good air bending so quickly. I imagine he also practiced a bit in his concealed prison
In defense of the white lotus most people don't know how to fight against air bending lol. The white air you see is only visible to us. they just feel the wind lmao.
God this is why i love LOK. Just seeing how different bending can be from how it was in the past. Earth bending and Metal bending that is so free form. And Air bending that can be violent and powerful.
“Who the hell is that? Why do you look so sketchy?” Me: Stare at camera with eyebrows raised. Sidenote: Nice Thor shoutout. That’s one of my favorite moments.
Yep I can definitely imagine Toph being "Oh hey, I'm bored, wanna bang?" She's so laidback and carefree. She's great but I can definitely see her being a bad parent.
Zaheer is so nasty at bending cuz he's a master martial artist AND has very extensive knowledge of airbending culture and techniques. Talent+skill+knowledge and you get someone like Zaheer.
They kill me when they talk over the characters literally explains something they are discussing Lmaoo. Completely missed the part where they said where toph is
As mean as Lin can be in this point, i can't help but feel bad for her and also identify myself with her. I know pretty well what is like to be the older brother, the responsible one, the one that wants to follow the values your parents taught you... i know how hard can be being in that position and knowing that your younger siblings not only gets spoiled by your parents, not only becomes a rebel and hurts you... but also how hard it is to see that after all of that you see them succeed and making a life way more accomplished and satisfying that yours. You feel miserable, you feel that you wasted your life just for wanting to follow the rules and being responsible, it's really frustrating. I love Lin so much, she is my second favorite character of TLOK.
If you noticed when korra came into her life more she became more loose and even willing to apologize. The old one probably wouldn't have apologized to opal
THANK YOU FOR THE KAYA PRAISE too often ppl think she’s a shit bender but she’s trained more as a healer so the fact that she’s nasty on the offensive regardless is amazing 😭🤧❤️
Zaheer said he has been studying airbender history, so I think he’s been studying their techniques too (fighting, defense, etc.). So when he finally got airbending he was ready to pop off.
Zaheer studied air nomad culture and fighting style for decades. He already knew the moves, he just didn't have the power to do them, so when he did get the power, he just added it onto what he was already using (and what he was already using was so nasty they put him in one of the highest security prisons on the planet.)
17:37 "they think they slick..." Boy, I bet y'all didn't realize there's the painted lady statue and the goggle that team avatar use on the day of black sun on that scene (where suyin explain her adventure)
I think Zaheer knows a lot about Air bending because he took the same kind of interest in air bender culture as the air nomads. Guru Lakhima's wisdom is available to anyone willing to seek it. Zaheer took an interest long before he was imprisoned.
When I first saw the end of this episode, I was really thinking that Oppal might have been Lin's daughter instead for some reason. TBH, I'm not even mad at Lin being salty, her sister did some fucked up shit. I'd probably have tried to forgive her before 30 years had come up, though.
I'm so glad y'all didn't recognize Zaheer, glad you're enjoying this book, it's definitely my favorite and Kya vs Zaheer is one of my favorite fights. Also Zaheer quoted Guru Laghima when he first broke out after getting airbending, so he was a nasty non-bending fighter and air nomad philosopher before ever getting airbending that's why he's so good, he not only had the martial arts chops to physically pull off the bending moves he was also already primed with the right mentality for airbending, lots of the new airbenders weren't even fighters before they got bending.
I could be wrong, but I believe toph gave them so much freedom because her parents were too guarded and didn't want to be like them. Though she probably went to much in the opposite direction but made some very independent and capable kids.
growing up kya spent most of her time learning to heal with waterbending. Katara taught her how to hold her own in a fight but she is nothing like her mother, a warrior
You know Kaya should be one of the few people in the world who is effective at fighting an airbender. I mean she and Tenzin probably fought a lot as kids
Guys if you ever wondered why Zaheer is such a nasty airbender. The Red Lotus first wanted to kidnap Korra and train her themselves, which is why all four red lotus members have each an element. Zaheer was the expert on airbending and was supposed to teach Korra about it. That is why he is such a "natural", he knew all of the moves in theory.
"Zaheer is that you? "
"No, its not me."

His voice is so unique tho

It’d be pretty scarring

I'm surprised it took them THAT long to realize it was Zheer lmao. The man had the same fit.
To be fair i doubt they seen what he currently wears now or that they even seen him in some many years
In fairness though 13 years and a bald head can do a lot to a person’s noticeably
U should’ve seen the normies reaction
Ok but who remembers clothes over faces, the man looks completely unrecognizable
I'm trying to remember how long it took me to figure that out when I first watched this. I don't think it was very long.

@@elessal I think that's it. Airbending is dangerous because no one has fought it.
Zaheer had no bending and was the nastiest in his crew. That should tell you how dangerous he was and is.
And considering Sokka was apart of the crew that stopped him initially. Hints that he may have been just as imposing.
Might not be the nastiest in his crew, combat-wise he’s actually one of the worst. P’Li and Ghazan are the biggest threats and Ming Hua is one scary water bender
There's a theory out there that Zaheer was the one who killed Sokka and I kinda like it ngl
Tenzin still had him beat
Tenzin beat him while he had bending, he was obviously even less dangerous when he wasn't a bender, so I doubt he was the strongest then or even now.

They so used to making crazy predictions that they saw it and they brains’ was like “nah no way... it’s too obvious” 😂
@stream dance like nobody’s watching to be fair i didn't know it was him
Sunglasses and hat can be effective in some cases too actually had that happen to me and it worked
I’m surprise no one was impressed by that cue shot Zaheer made. He’d kill it in a game of pool.
When Sheera said that Zaheer struggled against Kya a bit so she's gonna struggle against Korra, I thought she's going to say "so he's definitely struggle against TENZIN".
Because 🤭
Up until is was 4V1
Someone must have deleted their comment it looks like I’m saying he was struggling
I completely forgot that You can see the villain for season 4 in this episode.
Yooo when I saw it I was like OMG!
You can I thought she was just in last episode
Yeah, Varrick can be everywhere. *wink*
right her I forgot her stupid ass
I think Season 1 is solid/good but I have always thought Season 3 was the best. Zaheer is a next level villain.
Let go your earthly tether. Enter the void. Empty, and become wind
the guy at 8:02 is the human pinball
P’Li:🤯
Zaheer: 😧
@@ItsKeysama bruh
@@ItsKeysama 😭😭😭 I laughed way harder than I should have
Lol
Sheera: I really wonder what her beef is?"
Roshi: Yea, cuz it's well seasoned" 🙇
They got through almost the WHOLE episode without recognizing Zaheer, damn
Hmm, it was more so HALF really (8:47). lol
Y'all really forgetting that Korra is a master of 3 elements, she's not just the avatar for the title. The threat that the Red Lotus pose seems so dangerous for Korra because they work really well as a team and in comparison, Korra's teammates are just not up to par. But individually, Korra can take them.
Beating Vatuu before he fused with Unalaq is the testament of her power. I don't think any of her enemies can do that.
Especially when you consider what she does at the end of the season since she had no past lives to back her up.
Yeah for real. The only reason she lost in book 2 was because Mako and Bolin failed to keep Unalaq away like they were supposed to. Regardless of what people say, the ending of book 2 is not Korra’s weakness showing, it’s the weakness of her friends.
exactly!
@@Gamelover254 It gets kinda tiring to see people shit on the character unnecessarily, it gets even weirder when they spew out shits that don't really hold some truth.
@@marlongreen6448 Haters really push "omg she sucks" without providing reasonable statement 😂 No one can really beat the Avatar in the Avatar State, she lost because she was half-dead due to mercury poisoning. The avatar state is keeping her alive as a defense mechanism.
I felt the same way, once i started getting into S3 I realized how this book left every other book before it in the dust (strictly speaking about LoK)
@@yukijames1321 facts not even in the same weight class
@@yukijames1321 The shift in quality from S2 to S3 is insane lol.
@M1chael honestly dawg I agree with that list 100%
@M1chael I’m not used to a list or a take nearly identical to mine anymore cuz people got off the wall opinions but this list is pretty accurate
Im a bit surprised. All the cues they managed to guess ahead of time on this show. They couldn't figure out who he was until later on 😂.
Idk how so many people dont see it. I remember I knew instantly.
@@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913 same. Of course he shaved his head. but even then, you can hear the voice, and how badass his movement was in training.
@@edsonmrtezz maybe I recognized his voice quickly cause it's hot 🥵
@@carlosalejandroalvarenga4913 go to horny jail
@@ChromaticEagle you can silence the messenger but you'll never smother the truth 😩
Nobody is talking about this so I guess I will,
The scene where Korra is teaching Opal airbending is pretty cool because Opal is Tophs GrandDaughter, Toph was Aangs earth bending teacher and now Aang is teaching Tophs granddaughter air bending in his next life.
Nope because the connection to the past lives are gone.
But it does show Korra’s growth
dude i think you’re reading too much into this.
That’s actually pretty funny.
No connection means, when Korra gets call T_______ T___, it holds no meaning at all because Aang isn’t even there to hear it.
And somehow Opal gets insane skill just like every recent airbender character the show focuses on.
@@KaozKaiser09 Even though the easy access to previous lives' memories is gone, reincarnation means it's the same soul in different bodies across lifetimes.
Because of that, to say that "Aang" isn't there is just wrong.
"Zaheer is that you? "
"No, thats my brother, I am Kaheer."
The martial arts of the benders. Air-Ba Gua Zhang. Fire-Northern Shao-lin. Earth-Hung Gar Tiger Crane. Water-Tai Chi Chuan.
I hate that it took y’all damn near half the video to realize it was Zaheer
If zaheer was that good without bending i can only imagine how good sokka was since he was a non bender as well
He's a bender though, that boomerang must be manipulated somehow to be THAT effective
Remember that dancer that sue yin is training with that is at the center of the dance. Not the one with the short hair but the other one. She keeps appearing secretly throughout book 3 and she's a pretty significant character. You will also find out her name eventually..!
Suyin has a lot of kids. The twins, the art guy, opal, the older son who was with his dad.
and thus has begun Keeping Up with the Beifongs-KUWTB🗿
Honestly Kya really popped off here especially considering that she's never really been a fighter, she spent years travelling the world to find herself and she is much more of a healer than a fighter. And she was up against Zaheer who was one of the most dangerous criminals in the world before he got bending
Its crazy how no one recognized Zaheer. When I saw him I instantly knew it was him.
@stream dance like nobody’s watching exactly
Not only is Zaheer seemingly very spiritual, but he was also pretty good at martial arts from what I can tell. I’m not surprised that he got so good air bending so quickly. I imagine he also practiced a bit in his concealed prison
In defense of the white lotus most people don't know how to fight against air bending lol. The white air you see is only visible to us. they just feel the wind lmao.
That’s my favorite scene of Kya. She was more of a healer than a fighter but she was excellent in both.
2:03 BBC Airship 😂😂😂😂
God this is why i love LOK. Just seeing how different bending can be from how it was in the past.
Earth bending and Metal bending that is so free form.
And Air bending that can be violent and powerful.
Zaheer: *enters room*
You three: "whos that? We've never seen him before"
Pretty much 80% of reactors.
So True 😂😂😂😂
“Who the hell is that? Why do you look so sketchy?” Me: Stare at camera with eyebrows raised. Sidenote: Nice Thor shoutout. That’s one of my favorite moments.
Yep I can definitely imagine Toph being "Oh hey, I'm bored, wanna bang?"
She's so laidback and carefree. She's great but I can definitely see her being a bad parent.
Zaheer is so nasty at bending cuz he's a master martial artist AND has very extensive knowledge of airbending culture and techniques. Talent+skill+knowledge and you get someone like Zaheer.
You know Toph would be on some BS telling her children "I cant look after you"
They kill me when they talk over the characters literally explains something they are discussing Lmaoo. Completely missed the part where they said where toph is
Man, every time i watch you guys.. the episode flies by and i can't wait for the next one..
As mean as Lin can be in this point, i can't help but feel bad for her and also identify myself with her. I know pretty well what is like to be the older brother, the responsible one, the one that wants to follow the values your parents taught you... i know how hard can be being in that position and knowing that your younger siblings not only gets spoiled by your parents, not only becomes a rebel and hurts you... but also how hard it is to see that after all of that you see them succeed and making a life way more accomplished and satisfying that yours. You feel miserable, you feel that you wasted your life just for wanting to follow the rules and being responsible, it's really frustrating.
I love Lin so much, she is my second favorite character of TLOK.
If you noticed when korra came into her life more she became more loose and even willing to apologize. The old one probably wouldn't have apologized to opal
"KYA IS NASTY!"
Katara: That's my girl!
THANK YOU FOR THE KAYA PRAISE too often ppl think she’s a shit bender but she’s trained more as a healer so the fact that she’s nasty on the offensive regardless is amazing 😭🤧❤️
that "it's called prison" line made me crease for an hour, bro i got respiratory problems after this
I can’t wait for you guys to see the later episodes, your minds will be melted from the choreography
That one dislike is from Lin after seeing Suyin after 30 years...
Given that it seems even Toph didn't know who the fathers are I get the feeling it was a lot more than just two guys.
Toph knew...she just didn't bother telling them.
@@goat1408 Seems like the type of thing they would ask her at some point.
@@Narutonarutonaruto85 They did. That's why Lin was so mad. Or, maybe she did tell them.
Zaheer said he has been studying airbender history, so I think he’s been studying their techniques too (fighting, defense, etc.). So when he finally got airbending he was ready to pop off.
A small village up north, you probably never heard of it, yeah it's called prison. 😂🤣
I have been waiting for the beifong family mess to appear. I am honestly very surprised none of them knew that was zaheer from first sight tho lol.
you guys are the funniest reactors ive seen, the chemistry of the 3 of you is amazing
Zaheer studied air nomad culture and fighting style for decades. He already knew the moves, he just didn't have the power to do them, so when he did get the power, he just added it onto what he was already using (and what he was already using was so nasty they put him in one of the highest security prisons on the planet.)
I'm so glad i discovered this channel yo...ya'll be killing me
Lin was offered a place in the Metal Clan, though she declined.
"You fool! I've always been an airbender!" LMAOOOOO
i have been binge watching all of y’all’s youtube videos. y’all are funny af and really entertaining to watch. 🤍
"This d$%k ain't freee" 😭😭 that K-dot line took me ouutt
When Lin cries, my heart hurts.
I love Meelo.
“You got that right stranger!”
Man I can't wait to watch them react to Tenzin kicking some ass.
I also have to admit, i didn’t recognize him until she said it and I’m glad I didn’t cuz that Moment was fire
17:37 "they think they slick..."
Boy, I bet y'all didn't realize there's the painted lady statue and the goggle that team avatar use on the day of black sun on that scene (where suyin explain her adventure)
@14:20 "Ah..the truth!" Kills me everytime thanks for making me laugh folks
"The bbc airship" me: " I didn't know the British broadcasting corporation had an airship"
zaheer didn’t really struggle 😂 when he actually decided to fight back he whooped her, she only got some damage because he tried to flee
Rest in peace Anne Heche....voice of Suyin... 1969-2022
Roshi and Lupa sync lines will always surprise me they really have the same mind lmao
I think Zaheer knows a lot about Air bending because he took the same kind of interest in air bender culture as the air nomads. Guru Lakhima's wisdom is available to anyone willing to seek it. Zaheer took an interest long before he was imprisoned.
I love that Roshi says "Wow, that was a great episode" literally after every episode xD Avatar's amazing
"Let go your earthly tether
Enter the void
empty, and become wind."
When I first saw the end of this episode, I was really thinking that Oppal might have been Lin's daughter instead for some reason.
TBH, I'm not even mad at Lin being salty, her sister did some fucked up shit. I'd probably have tried to forgive her before 30 years had come up, though.
I'm so glad y'all didn't recognize Zaheer, glad you're enjoying this book, it's definitely my favorite and Kya vs Zaheer is one of my favorite fights. Also Zaheer quoted Guru Laghima when he first broke out after getting airbending, so he was a nasty non-bending fighter and air nomad philosopher before ever getting airbending that's why he's so good, he not only had the martial arts chops to physically pull off the bending moves he was also already primed with the right mentality for airbending, lots of the new airbenders weren't even fighters before they got bending.
I could be wrong, but I believe toph gave them so much freedom because her parents were too guarded and didn't want to be like them. Though she probably went to much in the opposite direction but made some very independent and capable kids.
growing up kya spent most of her time learning to heal with waterbending. Katara taught her how to hold her own in a fight but she is nothing like her mother, a warrior
U guys are my fav I get hype and the way u guys react make me laugh
3:33 I am so stressed that you guys didn't realize instantly. My chest
Lin Bei Fong's story is the best thing about Korra, all seasons. Ohh and Zaheer xD
What about tenzins growth
You know Zaheer was a problem when mans bending perfectly right after getting the ability to bend in the first place
He probably practiced a bit in the cell before he broke out, since he could meditate in there, and probably witnessed harmonic convergence.
@@PxndaCakes He had 2 weeks of practice and still folded the white lotus lol
it's best to think of Zaheer as Evil Sokka, the one non-bender in the team who can keep up with his using out of the box solutions
You know Kaya should be one of the few people in the world who is effective at fighting an airbender. I mean she and Tenzin probably fought a lot as kids
Guys if you ever wondered why Zaheer is such a nasty airbender. The Red Lotus first wanted to kidnap Korra and train her themselves, which is why all four red lotus members have each an element. Zaheer was the expert on airbending and was supposed to teach Korra about it. That is why he is such a "natural", he knew all of the moves in theory.
ZAHEER Struggle?
ZAHEER: I'm not even using his Full Power..lol
