@@dangshnizzle6929 eyes are the window to the soul so they glow with the avatar state, the arrows are part of how the spiritual air nomads see themselves once they get it so they glow too, thats how i always saw it
The scene where Toph metal bends for the very first time has always been underrated. The soundtrack + explanation of Guru Pathik gives me chills every time !!! "Wooo Toph, you rule"
Toph was one of the few main characters in any show that made their first appearance in the middle of the series and immediately became awesome. You become emotionally invested in each of the characters which are all so awesome.
The hand signs Aang does while meditating on each chakra is what Buddhists actually do for each one. That's dope. Edit: Hindus use them as well! Also the colors of his visions correspond to each chakra, and (I believe) the sounds droning in the background are at their frequencies too. Thanks to commenters pointing these out! Gotta love that attention to detail from the showrunners!
“Love is a form of energy and it swirls all around us. The Air Nomads’ love for you has not left this world. It is still inside of your heart and is reborn in the form of new love.” My favorite quote from this wonderful show 😢😊
Exactly, otherwise Roku, Kyoshi and the other avatars would have arrows. Only the air nomad Avatar have them, it's cultural like the Fire Nation top knot Roku has.
this is probably one of my favorite episodes in the entire series. it's just packed to the brim with meaning, philosophy, and a sort of care you don't see in a lot of shows, kid show or otherwise. every single one of pathik's lessons on the chakras still ring true to this day. like if I'm being honest the comment that "kids should definitely be learning this stuff" is totally valid, because a lot of the chakra lessons I saw as a kid helped inform at least a couple important decisions in my life. especially the air and light chakras.
"Many adult fans of the show have told us they really connected with this episode and took away a valuable spiritual lesson" -Bryan and/or Mike I always look forward to the chakra unblocking scenes. I make videos about Avatar, if anyone is interested.
I love how they play on Hakoda's last words to Sokka before he and the men left to join the war "Being a man is knowing where you're needed the most." Sokka knew right when he looked into Aang's eyes what he had to do. This show man.
im so thankful for this show lmao I grew up really conscious and aware & it's what got me into meditation & chakras when I was only 10. bryan and michael are amazing for creating a show this impactful 🙏🏽
Qrow Branwen I'm not gonna lie. I subbed to you cause you're the only rwby commenter that I've seen on this channel XD I hope they react to RWBY eventually, it feels like they're missing out on something amazing
It is hard to understand Guru Pathik's final lesson, because what he's saying is that you must understand your own mortality. No matter how much you love someone, you must never let them attach you to the world. You will leave it too someday, and the more time you spend agonizing over the end, the less you will comprehend the miracle that is the present. We are not defined by the length of time we exist in this world. We are defined by what we make of that time. Also, in real life Tantra chakras have a color. Each of Aang's visions are tinted with the color associated with the chakra he's opening.
The Thought Chakra scene with those supernatural visual and sublime music, representing all the emotions going on within Aang at that point, really put a tear in my eye... as does the corresponding scene in the next episode.
TheBotherHood I think they actually use onion banana juice to help them meditate in real life. Don’t quote me though, just something I read on the internet.
14:50 I have been a huge fan and follower of this show since it started in 2005, and i have to say that I NEVER made that connection to what Hakoda said here and what katara said in episode 2. Thats freaking awesome dude, new watchers find new cool stuff about this show ALL the time!!
I was about to watch it when they said that they aren't gonna discuss till it's all over. So fellow non patrons, I think we should be strong and wait till part 2 is also uploaded so we don't have to feel empty when we finish part 1. We can just transition to part 2 quickly! Imma be strong and do that!
9:44 One of them is an Avatar. The woman on the right is Avatar Yangchen who is the Avatar before Kuruk. You only know about Kyoshi and Roku so far, but once you get to the end of the show, you learn more about Kuruk and Yangchen. Mainly about Kuruk who is linked to a former spirit from Season 1. If you want to learn about Yangchen, read the comics. It explains everything that happens after the show and gives a little understanding of the next avatar, Korra.
Surprised me at the beginning, when Iroh said was making jook(Cantonese word for congee), because I happen to be eating a bowl myself haha (pretty good "sick food" while you're dealing with a cold).
One of the deleted scene was a nightmare which depicted aang's good time with gyatso and they were both together riding appa, but when aang turned around all he saw was gyatso's skeleton in the 3rd episode, which actually could've made the episode dark af.
Katara: *discovers Zuko and Iroh are in the city* Katara: *surprised pikachu face* Katara: *runs to Kyoshi warriors* *discovers they are actually Azula, Mei, and Ty lee* Katara: *surprised pikachu face* Katara: *Runs to the earth king to warn him* *Discovers the Earth king is actually Ozai* Katara: *_surprised pikachu face_*
I just realized that the flashbacks are painted in the colors of their respective shakras 🤯🤯🤯. This show just gets better and better every time you watch it.
The best part about how the show used the concept of chakras, is how it’s not just for Aangs journey. We’ve already seen how the lightning redirection requires a detour through the fire chakra in the stomach, and later with combination bending. The power is drawn from the Fire chakra and focuses through the light chakra in the forehead.
I don't think Pathik explained that final chakra very well. Letting go of attachments doesn't mean forgetting about those you love. You care for them, but their existing and your feelings for them aren't the purpose of your being.
When aang is supposed to let go of his attachment to katara while meditating with the guru, he sees a vision of her saying the exact and only words "Let me go", its almost like she is telling aang to let her go in a spiritual sense, but in that moment he sees her in trouble and couldnt. Damn
Not a kids show but also a kids show. I just watched this whole show wt my 5 yr old niece and she’s obsessed. We’re starting Korra now lol Also, not to brag but she is a smartass, and well educated 5 yr old. She sits, pays attention and gets most of the themes
+Ralph Joseph Acobo We're probably going to have to get used to five of them (or six of them) because it sounds like Navi and maybe Suraj's gf (still haven't remembered her name yet) will be joining them for season 3
Hi everyone, it's 2024! Anyways, just want to put here that I think Guru Pathik is an energy bender which explains a lot actually. Based on how I understood everything, this Guru is super old, he taught Aang how to manipulate his chakras, in Apa's episode, he read the bison's energy to sense where Aang is.
This IS a kids show! Stop saying it isn't! Children DO have these same existencial paradigms, this show did WONDERS for the millions of children who watched and are watching now, it helped many understand complicated matters that ADULTS are fearful of explaining. How many children try to live to parents expectations? Zuko and Aang and Toph suffer from this. How many children live in imposible conditions? For the children that live like this it helps them understand their conditions and options, for children who live better, it teaches empathy. We always underestimate children and I remember how I hated that when I WAS a child.
Sokka's reunion with his father was so sweet :3 That Earth King talking about all the inside information just like that is just stupid.. It was so stupid that it was almost funny. I can't believe this shit.. You just gave secret info to THE enemy of you all.. Azula is a great villain though :) She's terrifying.. Very good way to explain charkras. I don't know that much about them either but I am very curious and really like how guru Patik is explaining it :) Yup, like father, like son :P And so sweet that his dad called him a man now. That must feel so great for Sokka! He deserves it! :D How is a 14 year old like Azula so smart, powerful and ruthless.. 0.0 I was waiting for you guys' reaction to Top inventing metal bending! :D That was so great! And certainly like my own reaction back in the days :D Katara must have felt terrified when she realised it was Azula in front of her. She froze up there, just for a moment but that's enough for Ty Lees quick reflexes.. Agreed Navi, she didn't stand a chance with those three so close and with the element of surprise.. Toph racing off like that, that was bad-ass! :D
It's really lovely that they let Sokka and Hakoda be soft, in a way we don't often get in pop culture with fathers and sons. The way Sokka closes his eyes when he hugs his dad always makes me melt -- and of course it's all an excellent contrast to the relationship between Zuko and Ozai. also they didn't have to go that hard on Hakoda's cheekbones tho damn
I’ve tried to get that part cleared in my head about, Aang Letting Katara go...But can SOMEONE Please explain what that really means!?????? Ever since I seen this episode- of course I was young back then. But yes ever since then I could NEVER process of what that really meant.
The arrows on the air nomads shows that they are master Airbenders. Not that they are the Avatar
Was just about to say that too XD

Jude Miller I am buddhist and you are fucking right 👍🏻😊
It's also a Hindu Mudra. For example when he opened the light chakra that was located in the pineal gland, he used the Garuda Mudra.
They also highlighted the screen with the corresponding colors

“Love is a form of energy and it swirls all around us. The Air Nomads’ love for you has not left this world. It is still inside of your heart and is reborn in the form of new love.” My favorite quote from this wonderful show 😢😊
Azula: “It’s terrible when you can’t trust the people closest to you.”

Now who will be the most sus?
They actually look nervous.
The arrows signify the mastery of air, not an avatar.
Exactly, otherwise Roku, Kyoshi and the other avatars would have arrows. Only the air nomad Avatar have them, it's cultural like the Fire Nation top knot Roku has.
You guys have had my absolute FAVORITE reaction to the introduction of metalbending out of any reactors so far! That scene gives me chills every time.
this is probably one of my favorite episodes in the entire series. it's just packed to the brim with meaning, philosophy, and a sort of care you don't see in a lot of shows, kid show or otherwise. every single one of pathik's lessons on the chakras still ring true to this day.
like if I'm being honest the comment that "kids should definitely be learning this stuff" is totally valid, because a lot of the chakra lessons I saw as a kid helped inform at least a couple important decisions in my life. especially the air and light chakras.
Rana: "The Water Tribe definitely has the best outfits"
Man wait until she sees The Day of Black Sun episodes
Notice how Mai and Ty Lee glance at each other when Azula comments about not being to trust those close to you.

Drink every time someone says "Daaamn"

Alcohol poisoning honestly

*This is NOT a kids show dude..*
Nahid is fucking hilarious
"If you base your expectations only on what you see, you blind yourself to the possibilities of a new reality." (like metalbending)

Man, Episode 16 of Season 3 will get the "This is not a kid's show" thing completely out of control.
"even metal is just a part of earth that has been purified"
She focused on the impurities in the metal to bend it.

I don't think Pathik explained that final chakra very well.
Letting go of attachments doesn't mean forgetting about those you love. You care for them, but their existing and your feelings for them aren't the purpose of your being.
But you can't bend metal.
Toph: and I took that personally.
Fucking love that scene 😭

I shall not use my moon powers today, I clicked on the notification so damn fast!!
Notice how Aang didn't hesitate to lose the power of being in the avatar because of his love for Kitara
We only see the Guru 1 more time in a hallucination but he is never a part of the show again.
Did you know each scene where aang opened his chakras was a color of a rainbow?
Toph said "People can't bend metal? Who decided that?"
Nahid did not flinch like at all, I think he's in the spirit world or sommat 😂
This episode was so exciting to _watch you watch_ !
