@@sarustuff1276 I looked it up and you're right which is weird, I remember them showing previews for this episode on Nickelodeon's commercials for their "spooky" episodes of their other shows, too.
Fun fact: that stance Katara made to block Hama’s attack was an earth bending stance, which is why Hama was so surprised. It’s so cool to see that the group is learning from each other.
No, not at all: that stance is the classical Mabu stance, and it exist in all chinese martial arts, even in Taichi (the main source used by ATLA creators to invent waterbending). Hama was so surprised because Katara is so strong, that she was able to stop Hama's blood bending without learning blood bending first (she figured it out by herself). It's not a "fun fact" you are just overthinking, tha same issue all ATLA's fandom has. You all see things, meanings and connections where there's nothing.
@@akumabakemono1447 If she was so surpised by the bloodbending, why didn't she make that face earlier? They were already in battle and it happened way before that.
Fun fact: The fans always asked if waterbenders could control the liquids is other people, so they made this episode as a terrifying answer to those questions.
They prolly thought of that even before but maybe they didn’t do it because they thought it wasn’t kid friendly if that makes. Like they prolly didn’t want to use that concept for a kid’s show.
Such a dark episode...Fitting that this was a Halloween episode! For a one time antagonist, Hama was a pretty fantastic character. As we saw, she wasn't always this way, but because of war and how the Fire Nation treated her and her fellow tribesmen, she was warped into this person. It's pretty sad to see honestly, how someone could turn so resentful that they start to do onto others what was done to them. Hama was basically Jet but worse and to the point of no return. And despite Hama being locked away again, she still essentially won in the end. She laid out her terms, which was to bring another bloodbender into the world, and she succeeded. That's why Katara cried in the end. She not only fulfilled Hama's twisted wish, but because waterbending is a part of her, this "evil" technique is now a part of her. She was forced to learn a technique that she never wanted to learn and can never unlearn now. To say the least, it's pretty traumatizing. It's also why I've always saw this episode as a loss of innocence, because it's like Katara was tainted because of what she had to do.
Greatest Halloween episode of all time hands down 🔥🔥🔥 I remember watching it as a kid on on that Halloween and literally being too scared to leave the house since it was a full moon.
Still though, thinking about it, if Hama actually cared about fighting the war the way she claimed, she could've ended it almost single-handedly after escaping the Fire Nation prison. If she'd gotten into the Fire Lord's palace on the night of the full moon, and attempted to assassinate Ozai, who'd have stopped her? Or even if she'd just gone after the Southern Raiders, for personal vengeance, would they have stood any more chance against her than against Katara?
Damn imagine dead bodies in the woods and she takes water out of them, or caged people under mountain and sometimes she takes water from them to torture
2:17 Love this detail: Toph felt prissioners screaming and then they just shut up. Next Hama appears. It's quite obvious what probably happened: Hama was in the forest hunting down people. When she was going to hunt the avatar gang she listened the Southern Water Tribe story Katara was telling and realice they weren't Fire Nation's citizens. In the same moment Toph noticed the cries for help and Hama shut them up with Blood Bending to avoid suspicions, and then introduced herself to the team. It is not a simple overthinking process (a big issue all the ATLA's fandom has) but REAL hidden details the series give to us.
I'm delighted that someone else picked up on that nightmare-inducing realization too. That said, I doubt that Hama could shut them up given that the show has sort of established that you can only bend what you can see/sense (rather than being something like the Force, where you picture it in your mind, which is why Toph couldn't theoretically crush the Fire Lord under a giant boulder a continent away or something, even though she sees with Earthbending). However, IF that's the case, that actually makes things even scarier, because if she didn't shut them up, who or what did? That said, it's still chilling either way, because Hama just might be powerful enough to override what I said.
Oh boy, this episode. Bloodbending is terrifying! For this to happen to Katara of all the characters makes it so much worse, too! Katara is by nature a healer, and seeing her be forced to learn a technique she never wanted and can never unlearn is heartbreaking. Gotta love Book 3.
@@Prince_the_One Incapacitate you to prevent you to move, sure. Actually contrl you like bloodbending does? Ypu can manipulate the earth beneath a person, but they have their own element to combat that. Air can drain the air out of your lungs, but it doesn't do anything to actually control you. Fire? There are plenty of clever ways to use the elements, none will make you act like a puppet with zero control over your own body. One can fight back with whatever creative ways you might be thinking of with the other elements, bloodbending you need to be another water bender or be a strong motherfucker like the Avatar to try and fight it... Or kill the one doing it lol.
Not only was this a brilliant episode for Halloween but they chose to focus on the element that is deemed the most soothing/healing and making it twisted 😈
fun fact thats why they didnt take water tribe prisoners anymore and killed kataras mom. Because of hamas discover of blood bending or if aang had died the next avatar would be a water bender.
King Savage97 I mean it makes sense; if you knew “hey, any prisoners we take from here have the potential to be a terrifying blood witch” you would probably want to create a “no prisoners” policy
Also one of the reasons they were going after waterbenders specifically in the first place was probably in case the avatar actually had died, since that's where he would've been reborn.
Colin Hamilton This is really the most likely reason. I mean how would the guards that Hama blood bended know what she was doing to them to report it to someone else? All they would be able to say was that she was controlling them. Just like the people she captured they weren’t able to describe exactly what she was doing to them
When you realise Hama was the reason fire nation stopped taking water benders prisoners and started killing them instead. So technically she is a vital part of chain of events that killed katara's mother.
I bet once the guard who kept watch informed the higher ups causing them to fear this technique would be passed on to other waterbenders & kept the whole thing Hush hush. That would explain why they killed waterbenders (Kya) and why we are now just seeing (bloodbending) this.
No, you are just overthinking (like all ATLA's fandom does, EVERY FUCKING TIME). All this thing of Hama being the reason of why Fire Nation stop taking waterbender prisioners is just a fan theory, PERIOD.
@@akumabakemono1447 if you keep freaking out im gonna have to delete your comments. We like making theories. Until they are disproven we will consider them true. Nothing wrong with that.
@@akumabakemono1447 What's wrong with coming up with new theories? I think if they are well done, they can further enrich the quality of the fandom into something even grander and even more beautiful.
Fun Fact: the voice of Hama is Tress MacNeille who has done a lot of voice work including the voice of Dot in Animaniacs. She also voices another character in Avatar who you haven’t met yet.
To be fair, if a mass kidnapper said they'd been outdone by someone, I'd straight up ignore the person who outdid my greatest enemy. It's like if someone said "Congrats, you're a Nuke Bender", I'd run TF away as fast as possible!
In the flashback where the Southern Watertribe is attacked, Hamma and the other water benders disabled a Fire Nation warship and trap it in ice. That's the same warship that Aang and Katara find in episode 1 of the series.
@@voldy3565 Welll excusseeee me but I never had a hard time with understanding the deeper themes in this show and neither did some younger cousins kid's aren't stupid
When you think about the elements there is so much that benders can do. I was thinking that maybe Earth benders could do this too since the body is made up of minerals you find in nature. With the old woman if she really wanted to help her people after she escaped she could have found her way back to the south. She could have protected the village and so much more. If she was there Katara would have already learned some water bending and Aang could have learned from her too. Great reaction ladies!
I am 100% convinced that Yue gave Katara the strength to break the hold...not just the moon, but Yue herself. It makes sense why Toph and Sokka had that exchange earlier about the Moon Spirit. I don't know if it's canon...but I feel like it makes perfect sense.
I love watching y'alls reactions!! Favorite quotes from this : Hamma : Hello Children- Imon: No.no.no.no....We're not coming to your house. -- *Hamma in the woods talking about the moon-* Abi: *[side eyes]* I would dip. ---- *Katara accuses Hamma* Imon: Mm! Just- Sshh! Just think it ! Just think it. Don't say it. 🤣 💯🤣
15:00 Air benders are more connected to the Spiritual World. But this is only developed in The Legend of Korra. Also, Earth and Water benders are great healers. Water healers are like Shiatsu practioners and Earth healers are acupuncturists. But yeah, from what I see, water benders are the most versatile (which fits their element): they can bend water in all three states of matter, blood bend and heal.
Of all reactors I’ve seen, Abi does the best job of engaging without ever spoiling. Great reaction as always. You are both so fun. I look forward to this every week.
So far we've seen _three_ (or two and a half) special firebending techniques... creating lightning, Iroh's technique to _redirect_ it, and whatever Sparky Sparky Boom Man does (and maybe even a fourth one, if we count Azula's blue fire). Besides metalbending, sandbending could also be one for earthbenders... Toph didn't seem able to counter it, at least (though she was quite preoccupied at the time and might possibly have figured it out otherwise). And what that swamp guy who controlled plants did could count as one for waterbending, too... sort of bloodbending, but with plants instead of people and animals.
Hama and Jet are very similar. Their anger is justified but it's directed at the wrong people. If they had been using their skills to aid in the war it'd be different, but instead they went after civilians.
17:20 MHA has Vlad King, who controls _his own_ blood (I don't think he can control other people's, though)... and, well, Stain's quirk could count as a _very limited_ form of bloodbending...
12:15 is one of the coolest moments in bending in this show because we see Katara use an Earthbending technique for her block instead of redirecting the water like we usually see. That's why Hama makes that surprised face there.
Advance air bending? Yall forgot my boy Aang can run like sonic, air scooter up a wall, create tornado and hover within a ball of air? He doesn't even have to win a fight, just run and self perserve. 😂
Bruh, in legend of kora which is a show i absolutely hate but used to learn more bout the bending you see an airbender suck the air out of peoples lungs and kill them. The same airbender also figured out how to completley fly.
@@XxdextriousxX yep. Each bender can do some serious damage if this was more R-rated. Hell, airbenders could probably squeeze the air out of their lungs or make them explode.
I don´t wanna be nasty, but just imagine what a waterbender could do if it was r rated.... When the full moon shines you could probably rip the piss out of somebodys bladder, make them bleed out. Or vaporize the water in somebodys eyes, making them blind. Since the human body is made up to 75% water, a waterbender could just fuck you up.
I love the idea that in addition to Katara being a master and better than Hama, Yue is chilling in the sky and hears Hama's little spiel about the power the moon gives her and just nopes the fuck out of letting her draw power/gives Katara a boost. Especially since it comes right off the back of Sokka's reminder that the moon spirit is also someone they all knew and cared about, when they don't actually talk about her all that often unless it's plot-relevant, it's a fun idea. (Also, Yue sent the meteor that made space sword, I don't make the rules.)
This is the episode that made me decide Waterbending would be my choice of Bending. Water, Ice, Healing, Plants, Blood. Ripping Water out of trees and plants to gain more ammo? That's ridiculous.
Realistically speaking, bloodbending would be almost instant death. The amount of internal bleeding that would be caused after just one forced movement would be massive
Earl Alisbo I think that’s the best case scenario. You can’t take something that already exists visually and remake it visually and expect better. That’s why cartoons to real life translations fail
8:48 reminds me of Sasori from Naruto. Remember how he prepares specimens for his collection? He mentions first that he drains blood out of the bodies before turning them into puppets.
You just see how people underestimate animation. You say "this would be a great movie", "this is such a cool concept". But it's already here! In a story you are watching! I doesn't need to be in a live action movie. It already exists o.o
Like the dark side of water-bending is blood-bending, the dark side of air-bending is sucking the air out of a person’s lungs so they collapse, or inflating them until they explode.
water is like the sun: spender of life, but also taker of life: you can no exist without either, but fire, nuclear fission (hydrogen bombs, etc.), hot steam, ice, can be all dangerous to life. water used with great pressure can cut through steel. so them cutting rocks is not too far off.
Fun fact/theory: The fire nation stopped taking water bender prisoners after Hama invented blood bending to break out. So that's why they straight up killed Katara and Sokkas mom instead of imprisoning.
Whenever I hear people talking about bending subsets like lightning, blood, or metal, it seems like many forget about healing. To me, magic healing is the most important subset and the reason why waterbending is the best type.
I'm with Abi, Legend of Korra is a must watch if you are an Avatar fan. Hater's are gonna hate, but I feel it's just as good a series but in different ways (actually, overall I think it's a little bit better). Agni Kai me! lol
that's why there should be consent. slicing someone apart is illegal and evil but if someone goes to a doctor for a surgery then they'll obviously be aware that their body would be cut. the same could apply there.
Big thing to remember when it comes to air theyre not peaceful because they have no other branch off bending from air (watch Legend of KORRA), its because their bending is invisible. Peaceful because they are too Opt and think how smooth the people that can keep up with Aang are. All they see is hand movements and they gotta predict it, the show animates the air for us but Zuko or Azula when they were fighting aang couldnt see shit
The theme here is something people are forgeting and aparently a lot of people too, the means NEVER justify the endings. I know that, i am from South America, she become the ones she said were savages, she is now a savage.

5:18 The fire Nation was abducting water benders long since Katara was born to lower their numbers so they'd be less of a threat.
In specific to ensure the avatar wasn't reborn there since they didn't knew if the air nomad died, that's why they didn't kill the benders
Abbey was asking the real question there. Did the villagers not hear her say that Katara can blood bend thus she is a water bender?
In the flashback where the Southern Watertribe is attacked, Hamma and the other water benders disabled a Fire Nation warship and trap it in ice. That's the same warship that Aang and Katara find in episode 1 of the series.

"I can't wait to see grown up Sokka"
Everyone: *Yeah... About that*
so a friend and I noticed that there is a thermodynamic level to bending as well. no matter the element they can make it hotter or colder.
When Shrek said, "Squeeze the jelly from your eyes", I thought of Hama. That's scary lol

17:20 MHA has Vlad King, who controls _his own_ blood (I don't think he can control other people's, though)... and, well, Stain's quirk could count as a _very limited_ form of bloodbending...
12:15 is one of the coolest moments in bending in this show because we see Katara use an Earthbending technique for her block instead of redirecting the water like we usually see. That's why Hama makes that surprised face there.
Advance air bending? Yall forgot my boy Aang can run like sonic, air scooter up a wall, create tornado and hover within a ball of air? He doesn't even have to win a fight, just run and self perserve. 😂
Or......bending the air out of a room and in a way doing a suicide pact with a group of fire nation soldiers
@@GraveDigger35 Oooh... damn. XD
Bruh, in legend of kora which is a show i absolutely hate but used to learn more bout the bending you see an airbender suck the air out of peoples lungs and kill them. The same airbender also figured out how to completley fly.
This is why water benders are OP
Water bending has multiple sub-bending styles. Ice bending, plant bending, blood bending. If it has water they can bend it.
Great reaction as always. The Fire Nation ship that appears in Hama's first memory is the same ship that Aang and Katara enter in the first chapter.
*OH MY GOD* the way Imon *DIES* out of laughter , because of Sokka , can kill me 🤣🤣🤣 1:24
Meanwhile
Yue: you're welcome katara 😑
You were right lol. That was Katara and Sokkas gran gran. Lmao I laughed when she thought it was their mom😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And you imagine if the Avatar series was more like a horror genre like Tokyo Ghoul? 🤔
There would be A LOT of killing. Like directly 💀
@@XxdextriousxX yep. Each bender can do some serious damage if this was more R-rated. Hell, airbenders could probably squeeze the air out of their lungs or make them explode.
@@XxdextriousxX woah. Spoilers man. I haven't had the time to watch LoK yet on Netflix woth work and all.
I don´t wanna be nasty, but just imagine what a waterbender could do if it was r rated.... When the full moon shines you could probably rip the piss out of somebodys bladder, make them bleed out. Or vaporize the water in somebodys eyes, making them blind. Since the human body is made up to 75% water, a waterbender could just fuck you up.
Crazy is Lifes middle name LoK has been out for so long now, people would assume you’ve seen it if you’re watching a reaction vid of avatar series
*banes voice - Come Now Imon, now is not the time for fear. . . that comes later
I love the idea that in addition to Katara being a master and better than Hama, Yue is chilling in the sky and hears Hama's little spiel about the power the moon gives her and just nopes the fuck out of letting her draw power/gives Katara a boost. Especially since it comes right off the back of Sokka's reminder that the moon spirit is also someone they all knew and cared about, when they don't actually talk about her all that often unless it's plot-relevant, it's a fun idea. (Also, Yue sent the meteor that made space sword, I don't make the rules.)
This episode is so good it expands on bending and it’s sub categories
And that's why water is the best element. No cap
This is the episode that made me decide Waterbending would be my choice of Bending.
Water, Ice, Healing, Plants, Blood.
Ripping Water out of trees and plants to gain more ammo? That's ridiculous.
Water is the element of change because it's so versatile. And I won't spoil but there are more sub-sets of bending that will be seen in the future.
that mischievous smile LOL :D 1:02
Yeah, that woman talking to young Hama was young Gran Gran after she left the Northern Tribe
Realistically speaking, bloodbending would be almost instant death. The amount of internal bleeding that would be caused after just one forced movement would be massive
“This would be a great movie”
I lost hope in any movies, live action films or any attempt to film Avatar :(
Also it doesn’t need to be a movie. We have this. What’s that point
@@MrKingYuji I guess they are talking about the whole detailed story but from Hamma's point of view, it would be cool
Ana Mundaray yes watching again I think she just wants the concept in a live action movie, not necessarily this story or world
@@MrKingYuji what we need are animated series of the comics made by bryke and dimartino themselves
Earl Alisbo I think that’s the best case scenario. You can’t take something that already exists visually and remake it visually and expect better. That’s why cartoons to real life translations fail
Legend of Korra is on Netflix if you want to watch it after your done with ATLA. It's an amazing sequel so you should really check it out!
Fun fact: those puppets that Sokka found, Hama made them for each person she kidnapped
8:48 reminds me of Sasori from Naruto. Remember how he prepares specimens for his collection? He mentions first that he drains blood out of the bodies before turning them into puppets.
You just see how people underestimate animation. You say "this would be a great movie", "this is such a cool concept". But it's already here! In a story you are watching! I doesn't need to be in a live action movie. It already exists o.o
The advanced bending techniques are
Fire - lighting
Air - N/A
Water - plants, blood
Earth - metal, sand, lava
Like the dark side of water-bending is blood-bending, the dark side of air-bending is sucking the air out of a person’s lungs so they collapse, or inflating them until they explode.
water is like the sun: spender of life, but also taker of life: you can no exist without either, but fire, nuclear fission (hydrogen bombs, etc.), hot steam, ice, can be all dangerous to life. water used with great pressure can cut through steel. so them cutting rocks is not too far off.
Fun fact: If your a fan of animaniacs the voice actress for Hama also did the voice for the Warner Bros. only little sister Dot.
Fun fact/theory: The fire nation stopped taking water bender prisoners after Hama invented blood bending to break out. So that's why they straight up killed Katara and Sokkas mom instead of imprisoning.
Love this show love the video Imon Nation and ABI Nation stay motivated dream big 1 Mill on the way
Whenever I hear people talking about bending subsets like lightning, blood, or metal, it seems like many forget about healing. To me, magic healing is the most important subset and the reason why waterbending is the best type.
I'm with Abi, Legend of Korra is a must watch if you are an Avatar fan. Hater's are gonna hate, but I feel it's just as good a series but in different ways (actually, overall I think it's a little bit better). Agni Kai me! lol
@Joe Kill Opinions.
Okay yeah Bloodbending is "evil" but imagine the possible medical applications it could have???
Imagine if you could also make blood "glow" like they do to normal water to heal too, you'd be like wolverine, regenerating and stuff.
Leeches would be obsolete!
that's why there should be consent. slicing someone apart is illegal and evil but if someone goes to a doctor for a surgery then they'll obviously be aware that their body would be cut. the same could apply there.
No more heart attack or heart failure
In addition to establishing that not all fire benders are evil, this establishes that evil exists in the other nation's too
Scooby doo taught me that some cartoon episodes can be scary, this episode reinforced that lesson
Big thing to remember when it comes to air theyre not peaceful because they have no other branch off bending from air (watch Legend of KORRA), its because their bending is invisible. Peaceful because they are too Opt and think how smooth the people that can keep up with Aang are. All they see is hand movements and they gotta predict it, the show animates the air for us but Zuko or Azula when they were fighting aang couldnt see shit
Sokka with his hair down is too powerful, that’s why they keep his hair up lol
Lol, I'm just watching this on Halloween and i didn't remember this was that episode
There is really no happy ending in this episode. I love it 🎃
They will be surprised when they found out special technique of airbending
If Anyone watched Animaniacs, Hama's voice actor is Dot the Warner Sister.
Katara never pulls water outta thin air again
12:35
Yes , water benders are overpowered
“She must be broken, like a hip or something” 💀
You'd think, at her age, Hama wouldn't be able to bloodbend once a month anymore.
The theme here is something people are forgeting and aparently a lot of people too, the means NEVER justify the endings. I know that, i am from South America, she become the ones she said were savages, she is now a savage.
That is Katara's Granmother Kanna (Gran Gran)
