Small Clarification: Sub-Bending Elements like plantbending or sandbending, are NOT considered special bending abilities as these abilities can be mastered very easily by almost every bender in that element. The difference with these 12 bending abilities we analyze is that these 12 are special / unique and very few benders in history possessed these abilities!
Toph is so good at seismic sense she actually has to put a pillow below her feet to be able to sleep or relax so they don't touch the group because of how much she uses it
Thank you for showing respect to Yakone. His feat of psychic blood bending a court room of like 40 people whilst hand cuffed is freaking insanity. Not to mention Prime Aang and Prime Toph were there 💀
i still think amon was more powerful as he was literally able to do what aang did and take people’s bending away but with blood bending. i’m sure yakone would have eventually figured it out if aang didn’t take is bending away, but amon is the one who figured that out and even took the avatar’s current learned elements. if it wasn’t for korra still having aang, amon could’ve destroyed the world until korra’s life ended with just that
13:12 Is it just me who thinks Guru Laghima was robbed of the No1 spot in Flight. He was known, even to Avatar Yangchen as the most legendary airbender and the wisest airbender. He not only invented the sub-element, but he spent the last FORTY YEARS OF HIS LIFE without ever putting so much as a toe on the ground.
I like how this person spoke fast, and also got to the point fast, while still keeping emotion and little extras in it, which is a high contrast from most explanation videos, which take extremely long to explain even the tiniest of things. The person spoke fast enough that it wasn't boring, but not too fast, like in some videos that I had to rewind. I could tell that it was their actual speed, and I could hear the passion in their voice, so it wasn't like someone info-dumping out of a textbook. Great video, will definitely watch again!
I like the theory that Aang was able to use flight for a brief second before getting (nearly) killed by Asula to gain the ability you must free your soul from all attachments to earth, wich was also the requirement of the last chakra that Aang needed to open to reach Avatar state
I've seen this theory before, but it doesn't really make sense, because as avatar yangchen states, the avatar can never fully detach himself from the world, as his sole duty is *to* the world
I think you forgot your own script man, you literally said at the beginning of the video that it is based on how proficient they are and not the pure strength. So it should be Amon for blood bending, P'Li for combustion, and Mako for Lighting redirection.
Yeah you are correct my friend. What I meant at the start was we will not judge characters based on the overall strength of the character but rather only on the specific bending ability. On Combustion Man I believe he seemed to be able to create bigger explosions with his bending compared to P'Li. But yeah P'Li could curve it as well, so yeah it's definitely debatable
Wow, this video is incredibly well done! I love how you not only ranked the bending abilities but also explained their unique aspects and strongest users in such vivid detail. The depth of research and care you put into analyzing each bending style really shines through. 🐯 It’s fascinating to see how each ability evolves, how it’s used in different contexts, and its strategic impact in the Avatar universe. Your explanations are so clear and engaging, making it easy to follow along and understand even the more complex aspects of bending.🥋 I also appreciate the way you give credit to the characters who mastered these abilities, it’s a great way to celebrate their skills and importance in the series. ✨ The visuals and editing are top-notch, and the pacing keeps it captivating from start to finish. Great work, Domain Aniki! Your insights always make me appreciate the depth, creativity, and brilliance of Avatar even more. Keep up the amazing content!. 🥇😲
i remember an Episode in Avatar: the last Airbender where Iroh predicted and redirected a lightning strike during a storm to protect their ship that was really badass!! i could imagine a lightning strike from natural forces to be more powerful than lightning made by benders!
There was another character we see Lava Bend, if only briefly. When Roku explains the Avatar state and we see flashbacks of past Avatars demonstrating it, the Fire Avatar before Yangchen made the volcanoes behind him erupt. On a side note, pretty sure Lava comes from having a bending lineage for both earth and fire, Bolin being the prime example.
You forgot HEAT ABSOBTION AND REDIRECTION was done by fire lord Sozin at Avator Roku's Island....... Sozin used the skill to cool the volcano by absolving heat of lava with the left hand fingertips and releasing it with the right hand fingertips
although we didnt see other firebenders use it iroh produced heat multiple times like heating his tea in ba sing se so we dont know if its actually rare or just pretty useless
Air bending has also sound bending. And water benders can freeze water in bodies, and bend water in plants. And fire benders can bend also smoke and heat. And earth benders can bend glass
Pretty much a lot of abilities to count. Also last year I saw a video talking about a surviving airbender that became an airbending master without a trainer and she also ( yes this airbender is a girl) has the ability to go invisible by doing something that I totally forgot how she do it because it's pretty the first and also last time I saw the video and didn't know it up back😅
I still believe that king boomi was a master bonebender. He was over 100 and hunched over. Until it came to battle, you can hear his bones cracking while just becoming a monster.
Toph is the best "It sounds like a piece of paper but im guessing youre referring to whats on the paper" "Ive help books before... and they dont exactly do it for me" -toph
I feel like there's an addition to the Earth Benders. Bending the metal within your body/blood. I feel like if a skilled enough Earth Bender trained and learned from the Water Benders and their techniques of Blood Bending they could eventually learn how to bend the metal within your blood to rip you to shreds from the inside out.
Well for that to work, the metal that is inside our bodies which is Iron must contain traces of earth or dirt to be able to be bended by Earth Benders, metals like Platinum for example can’t be bended due to it being a pure metal and containing zero amounts of earth
metal benders dont bend the actual metal they bend the earth inside the metal, shown by when toph first learned metal bending her ‘seismic vision could feel the earth bound in the metal. its also proven in korra that earth benders cannot bend platinum as it is pure metal. the metal in our bodies are stored as metal ions or ionic compounds so theoretically this cannot work.
This should be similar to how Azula's friend (oh gosh the gymnast, her name eludes me right now) could block anyone's bending with hits to pressure points, probably also chakra/qi blocking in the physical process
Yes they don't understand they think amon could take away bending just like aang but what aang does is different. Aang completely takes over someone's bending power permanently and covert them to non bender human while amon doesn't do that he uses bloodbending and with that he permanently blocks the chakras and chi with which a person can bend and make them think that there bending is gone and they aren't a bender now but in reality they are only difference is they can't release that energy or chi since amon has blocked it and since no one is a a skilled blood bender as skilled as amon so they can't even unblock it even Katara who is a bloodbender couldn't do anything to unlock Korra bending until aang came and used energy bending to unlock Korra bending energy and korra used the same thing on others.
@@shounenking313issue is that if aang needed to use energy bending to give korra her bending then that means amon actually took it away. For example lets say there’s a tank of water. Aang creates a pipe to allow the water to flow, or takes away the pipe in order to stop the flow. In korra’s case her pipes were simply blocked according to this statement. U cant give someone two of the same ability. So korra wouldve had four blocked pipes. I dont see how aang wouldve given her bending back if this is the case. Since he can only give or take away bending. It makes more sense that amon simply took away the capacity to bend in the first place rather than block the abolity from being able to manifest
King Bumi used seismic sense as well. Remember when he fought fire benders in Omashu during the solar eclipse. How did he manage to pinpoint soldiers and torse them into the air without looking at them. Also during Sozen's comet in Bai Seng Se, he did the same thing.
I think you’re giving korra too much praise, Aang learnt it in 1 year of training and korra learnt bending in about as much time as aang was alive before he was known to be the avatar.
Wdym? Korra knew 3 elements at 4 and she learned energy bending immediately after aang did it to her. Both are amazing at it but korra is slightly better
@jabsjabs1122 the thing is aang didn't have to be given his bending back, also he straight up taught her mastery of all the elements there again and gave her complete mastery of energy bending. Aang defeated all hid enemies without having to rely on the past avatars. Yes korras enemies might have been stronger but she had more things at her disposal (bending sub-elements) like energy bending and her friend using magma bending and lightning bending, mate even one of aangs friends wasn't even a bender and was a flippin comedian, yes katara knew blood bending but she pretty much never used it, toph knew metal bending, but she had to learn it herself with instead of people saying it's possible people saying it's impossible. Suki isn't a bender either, not even her and her best warriors could defeat or even put a scratch on azula. And who rivals adults power by themselves? Mako. Hang had to go throw alot with his friends and not just been told what to do. I think we can all agree now aang had to do what he did without help from anyone but his friends really, most of the time tenzin and lin beifong (beifong is a metal bender too, like korra) were there to help them. Also yes I do know aang used roku once to clear an opening for him to run away, but that isn't the same as giving him back his bending. A mere smoke bomb could do the same as what roku did to help aang. Also I know on korras team they have one non bender but she has those glove thingies that unleash strong shocks.
@CAPTAIN-PET u just went on an entire rant that had nothing to do with who was better at energy bending lol. But to counter some of your points, aang needed roku, kyoshi, and all the other past avatars in multiple of his fights. He never had control over the avatar state, the other avatars had to take over his body and fight for him. Every avatar needed help from their past lives. He didn't give korra mastery over everything lol. She was a master of 3 elements in the very first episode. All he did was reopen her chakras and give her her bending back. By doing this she learned energy bending from him and was able to do it to others. That doesn't make him automatically better than her lol. She was 16 years old of course she needs help. Aang literally died in the avatar state. Without katara there would be no avatar anymore. Yall acting like aang learned all the elements and defeated the firelord by himself will never not be hilarious because did we watch the same show? I love both aang and korra equally but you diehard aang fans give him way too much just to put down korra. Both needed plenty of help and that's completely fine. That being said, korra has the better feats with energy bending. That's just the truth, not an opinion. I'm not talking about any other elements except that so plz stay on topic.
@@jabsjabs1122 Ok I agree with all you have said, but the thing I'm trying to emphasize is the fact that korra had to be given her bending back, thats basically all I said that you didnt have the same size explanation for.
@CAPTAIN-PET that doesn't mean he's better than her at energy bending tho. He just opened her chakras and showed her how to do it. She needed help just like he did. Nothing wrong with that. She still has better feats with it
Theoretically, a non-bender can use seismic sense, it would just be extremely difficult, earthbending just makes it easier bc/ they quite literally can feel the earth.
I find it incredibly hard to believe that Zuko survived Azula's lightning attack, because not only was Sozin's comet present, but she also hit him in a spot that should've killed him instantly
Zuko likely would have died without Katara's healing. Also, it's hinted Zuko did at least partially redirect the strike while enabled him to survive the initial strike but be almost fatally wounded.
You forgot the fourth Firebending subskill which is Heat Bending. It's basically the ability to remove/reduce the emanating heat from an object and redirect it to another path using the bender's body. This was first shown by Sozin during the volcano flashback
@@chxpa-7676 But heat is just energy. Removing heat from an object is reducing the energy in it. Now in the context of this show it may not be that way. I’m curious to see if energy benders come from the fire nation or has ancestry from there.
I dont want to say that the video is bad the opossite it is really good but i think you should have places laghima number one because he was the first aibender after years to learn it because zaheer took guidance of laghima (from books ,scrolls..)and you forgot to put the banned ancient air technique where the bender makes his enemy suffocate i mean the one which zaheer used to kill the queen of Ba sing se btw you did a very good job in the video well done you just earned a sub
I think end of series Azula is definitely the best lighting bender because she could also fire it instantly as well and she could also do a double strike like Ozai not only that she had such great mastery of the art that she even made a lightning ball with the art
Also in the comics it almost implies the reason why katara wasnt in the courtroom when yakone was blood bending everyone was because she is to strong to have her blood beneded an could have easily ended him
its because the lightening was strengthened by 100x during the Comet. Ozai’s strike was so strong if Zuko tried re-directing it he would’ve died within seconds
Yes the same when informed on lightening. I recognized he was quoting Iroh .. but, how else would he get his info? He’s just presenting it in a pleasing way 😊.
Even tho I comepletly agree with the waterbending list You have to give Katara some credit. She was a good blood bender in just a few days. If she was able to train more she would scale to Yakone or Amon
What about Heat Bending? It's a Sub-Bending Element of Fire used 3 times in the series. Roku, Sozin and Iroh have all used it on screen. At its peak it can turn metal to ash instantly and also has unmatched precision
@@Bcs6 So the ability to transfer heat like Roku and Sozin did with the lava from the erupting volcano on Roku's home island(where he, his wife and possibly his child lived till said eruption and Roku's DEATH) and Iroh warming a tea in the train station to the Earth Kingdom's capital city whose name means "Impenetrable City" is considered to be part of Firebending in general.
@@theowilds3778 yeah because thats just skill and mastery, korra freezing the mech (100ft) with no avatar state doesnt make icebending a unique and special sub
But the video also points out the effectiveness of the bending when executed by the user. So, it doesn't necessarily mean that the avatar would be the top tier.
Idk if anyone has said it but you did not mention Sun who is also a lavabender.Also Lao ge the earthbender who claimed to discovered the secret to immortality
We can’t be sure yakone was the first to blood bend without the full moon he said his family has the strongest line of blood benders which might mean his family were able to use it without the full moon they just kept it secret
In my opinion, lightning bending was supposed to be an air technique. Lightning occurrence is more related to weather. There had to be a fire technique in lava bending. In lava, it's very hot like fire.
It's still make sense for an earthbender to bend lava. Afterall, lava is just liquid earth. But I would theorise that in order for an earthbender to be able to lavabend, he/she must possessed a minor-fire chi that he/she get through 1 of his/her parents. Like Bolin, who is an earthbender, but has a minor fire pre-disposition chi through her firebending mother.
Doesn't make any sense for it to be an air technique, air benders aren't just weather manipulators. By this logic, air benders should basically just be fire benders because they're lacking a temperature transfer technique. Imo tho, we haven't seen the most dangerous subform of air which is implosion bending, they haven't even suggested it exists.
I saw a theory that kind of explains lava bending and why we don't hear anything about it before Legend of Korra. This theory helps me accept it. To be able to lava bend you have to have a parent from both the fire nation and the earth kingdom and while you might not be able to bend fire as well, fire is still in your blood and you are able to connect with it when it is part of rock. It wasn't until sometime after the 100 year war where interracial marriages became more common. This theory would also help explain why it's so rare, but not unheard of in the time of Korra.
vine bending is just bending water inside plants so its not really a sub bending same with poison since the poison was just mercury a type of metal. Ice bending isnt really considered a sub bending since everyone can do it and its so common and yeah he just missed sandbending
I always thought that Avatar specific bending would be cooler. Like you said Lava Bending would be a combo of Earth and Fire. And how about Steam Bending being Water and Fire. Cloud bending could be Water and Air. Plant Bending would be Water and Earth. Lightning could have been Air and Earth. Invisibility could be Air and Water. I could go on. I think its probably better the way it is giving more characters more options. But, it would be cool to have Avatar Aang and Korra use these various combinations to make them overpowered after mastering the basic four elements. It would give them a logical power creep in later episodes as tools for their success that they have to creatively use in difficult situations. It would be a great way to keep the action exciting and fresh and difficult situations a way to demonstrate creative problem solving. I can already see Sokka brainstorming a plan asking Aang if combining two or three elements to try some sort of creative escape plan.
these are all possible with single elements water is shown from day 1 to be all forms of water. invisibility would just be bending air to then bend light reflecting off it no need for water. earth has n relation to plants themselves as earth bender cant control plants only rocks. and lava is just an earth form change
at the end of the day, steambending is still a waterbending only technique, plant bending only makes sense for waterbenders, and invisibility isnt a thing in the avatar universe💀and lightning is only a firebender only technique too. all you said was a bunch of gibberish…
@@itsketchup8114 Its not gibberish. Just because that's not how it works in the world of Avatar doesn't mean that's not how it could have worked. You lack imagination. Let's take lightning for example. In real life lightning has literally nothing to do with fire. It can cause a fire, but here's a literal Google search for a Lightning bolt "In the initial stages of development, air acts as an insulator between the positive and negative charges in the cloud and between the cloud and the ground", hence I combined Air and ground. I suppose adding water as a third element would have made more sense to form the cloud, literally every element except fire makes sense in the real world. You wanna run that "gibberish" comment by me again?
Bro this video is so misinformed, healing is not bending, redirecting fire is a skill fire benders can learn, and he didn't even mention sand bending 🙏🏻😭
Sand bending is not unique. That is relatively easy for earthbenders to use. And wasn’t it stated that powerful water benders have the ability to heal?
@@nietotribe6317 From what I understand, there is no evidence proving or disproving that she can. She never tried using sandbending, and I don't see why she would be unable to. She only dislikes sand because she can't "see" in it,
@@AshtonMoore-n4m why do u think so? Ghazan could create more amount of lava and he did it faster than bolin imo. His movement was much more fluid than bolin's
ice bending is water bending blue fire bending is hotter fire plant bending is blood bending but plants wood bending is impossible breath bending is just air bending gas bending is air bending coal bending is earth bending glass bending was impossible unless kyoshi did it smoke bending is air bending sand bending is a sub bending
@@domainaniki Azula doesn't require time to charge, in the comics (which are a continuation of the show) she's better than him in every way when it comes to lighting, she can shoot them faster, she can shoot more at once, she can redirect it and can also manipulate it better than anyone. She is the best lightning bender.

Since he can only give or take away bending. It makes more sense that amon simply took away the capacity to bend in the first place rather than block the abolity from being able to manifest
Sand bending????????
I have never heard of that
@@Wiz_eng when appa get steal from sand benders
@@AHAH-d1vye toph can also use it, although I don't think it's very sufficient and efficient to beat an enemy tho
And like glass and wood bending witch can be learn
Wood bending is not a thing
King Bumi used seismic sense as well. Remember when he fought fire benders in Omashu during the solar eclipse. How did he manage to pinpoint soldiers and torse them into the air without looking at them.
Also during Sozen's comet in Bai Seng Se, he did the same thing.
Which would bring me to a point I just thought about with earth benders, magna-benders (magnetism)
0:03 Saying there are 12 special powers meanwhile showing only 10 special powers in the diagram. Are you NUTS?!
There’s 14
bros mad😂😂😂
I think you’re giving korra too much praise, Aang learnt it in 1 year of training and korra learnt bending in about as much time as aang was alive before he was known to be the avatar.
Wdym? Korra knew 3 elements at 4 and she learned energy bending immediately after aang did it to her. Both are amazing at it but korra is slightly better
@jabsjabs1122 the thing is aang didn't have to be given his bending back, also he straight up taught her mastery of all the elements there again and gave her complete mastery of energy bending. Aang defeated all hid enemies without having to rely on the past avatars. Yes korras enemies might have been stronger but she had more things at her disposal (bending sub-elements) like energy bending and her friend using magma bending and lightning bending, mate even one of aangs friends wasn't even a bender and was a flippin comedian, yes katara knew blood bending but she pretty much never used it, toph knew metal bending, but she had to learn it herself with instead of people saying it's possible people saying it's impossible. Suki isn't a bender either, not even her and her best warriors could defeat or even put a scratch on azula. And who rivals adults power by themselves? Mako. Hang had to go throw alot with his friends and not just been told what to do. I think we can all agree now aang had to do what he did without help from anyone but his friends really, most of the time tenzin and lin beifong (beifong is a metal bender too, like korra) were there to help them. Also yes I do know aang used roku once to clear an opening for him to run away, but that isn't the same as giving him back his bending. A mere smoke bomb could do the same as what roku did to help aang. Also I know on korras team they have one non bender but she has those glove thingies that unleash strong shocks.
@CAPTAIN-PET u just went on an entire rant that had nothing to do with who was better at energy bending lol. But to counter some of your points, aang needed roku, kyoshi, and all the other past avatars in multiple of his fights. He never had control over the avatar state, the other avatars had to take over his body and fight for him. Every avatar needed help from their past lives. He didn't give korra mastery over everything lol. She was a master of 3 elements in the very first episode. All he did was reopen her chakras and give her her bending back. By doing this she learned energy bending from him and was able to do it to others. That doesn't make him automatically better than her lol. She was 16 years old of course she needs help. Aang literally died in the avatar state. Without katara there would be no avatar anymore. Yall acting like aang learned all the elements and defeated the firelord by himself will never not be hilarious because did we watch the same show? I love both aang and korra equally but you diehard aang fans give him way too much just to put down korra. Both needed plenty of help and that's completely fine. That being said, korra has the better feats with energy bending. That's just the truth, not an opinion. I'm not talking about any other elements except that so plz stay on topic.
@@jabsjabs1122 Ok I agree with all you have said, but the thing I'm trying to emphasize is the fact that korra had to be given her bending back, thats basically all I said that you didnt have the same size explanation for.
@CAPTAIN-PET that doesn't mean he's better than her at energy bending tho. He just opened her chakras and showed her how to do it. She needed help just like he did. Nothing wrong with that. She still has better feats with it
You forgot about Sand banding, Oxygen suction banding (by zaheer), Glass banding (by kyoshi) lol
Suction bending is by Yangchen, Zaheer just used it
Check pinned comment 😁
Get ratio'd by the pin comment lol
Hehe
One more...wine bending
bro really forgot one of the best air sub bending thingy, FART BENDING.
Also yes, I did checked the pinned comment but c'mon we only saw one person do fart bending...

😂😂😂
@ARYANMATION yeh but it was epic 😂
Was lowkey annoyed this wasn't brought up 😂 it saved lives ffs Lol
This editing style and narration makes me glad of youtube's option to slow playback speed.
this is unironically nauseating bro this guy has some sort of adhd or something
this was a tough watch
Theoretically, a non-bender can use seismic sense, it would just be extremely difficult, earthbending just makes it easier bc/ they quite literally can feel the earth.
I find it incredibly hard to believe that Zuko survived Azula's lightning attack, because not only was Sozin's comet present, but she also hit him in a spot that should've killed him instantly
Zuko likely would have died without Katara's healing.
Also, it's hinted Zuko did at least partially redirect the strike while enabled him to survive the initial strike but be almost fatally wounded.
I love this video! Thank you!
You forgot the fourth Firebending subskill which is Heat Bending. It's basically the ability to remove/reduce the emanating heat from an object and redirect it to another path using the bender's body. This was first shown by Sozin during the volcano flashback
And he forgot plant bending
Would that not be energy bending?
@@MckieDs595 no
@@chxpa-7676 But heat is just energy. Removing heat from an object is reducing the energy in it. Now in the context of this show it may not be that way. I’m curious to see if energy benders come from the fire nation or has ancestry from there.
@@MckieDs595thank you LOL
That makes sense as much as steam bending in relation to spirit bending
Heat bending should be there too
Good video👏🏾
Toph casually invent metalbending shows how she's GOATED earthbender
I dont want to say that the video is bad the opossite it is really good but i think you should have places laghima number one because he was the first aibender after years to learn it because zaheer took guidance of laghima (from books ,scrolls..)and you forgot to put the banned ancient air technique where the bender makes his enemy suffocate i mean the one which zaheer used to kill the queen of Ba sing se btw you did a very good job in the video well done you just earned a sub
It’s funny cause I used to make this entire chart up in my head when I was a kid glad somebody actually made it a video
I think end of series Azula is definitely the best lighting bender because she could also fire it instantly as well and she could also do a double strike like Ozai not only that she had such great mastery of the art that she even made a lightning ball with the art
when did she create a lightning ball?
@@ballSucker344 it was in the comics
Almost perfect wasn't good enough i guess
1:47 katara blood bend even without full moon when they find for the killer of her mother....😅😅
Also in the comics it almost implies the reason why katara wasnt in the courtroom when yakone was blood bending everyone was because she is to strong to have her blood beneded an could have easily ended him
Rewatch it they show the full moon
@@johnkennethsantos9314no they dont
@@Potato_Juiceyes they did. It was a full moon.
@@Potato_Juicethey did, at the start of the episode
I like how it shows katara in her teenage years saying that her daughter is an old woman
1:17 why does min hua have arms?
My guy forgot about bone bending and sand bending
True brother
That is a sub bending he said
Shadow,cookie, and plant bending as well
Sounds like a Naruto reference to Gaara+Lee vs Kimmimaru
Swamp bending
Or maybe Aang was weakened by Ozai's lightning because it was strengthened by the comet, not because Aang was bad in this...
its because the lightening was strengthened by 100x during the Comet. Ozai’s strike was so strong if Zuko tried re-directing it he would’ve died within seconds
I just looked up combustion bending in the Avatar wiki and you are literally reading it word for word in this video
Yes the same when informed on lightening. I recognized he was quoting Iroh .. but, how else would he get his info? He’s just presenting it in a pleasing way 😊.
Another impressive ranking vid
Quick question though, do you happen to need a video editor?
I would put lighting and lightning-redirection into the same category tbh
Even tho I comepletly agree with the waterbending list
You have to give Katara some credit. She was a good blood bender in just a few days.
If she was able to train more she would scale to Yakone or Amon
your video is good
Glad you like it my friend!
No
What about Heat Bending? It's a Sub-Bending Element of Fire used 3 times in the series. Roku, Sozin and Iroh have all used it on screen. At its peak it can turn metal to ash instantly and also has unmatched precision
Same as combustion js
He's only ranking the unique subbendings and heat is actually not rare or special at all
@@Bcs6
So the ability to transfer heat like Roku and Sozin did with the lava from the erupting volcano on Roku's home island(where he, his wife and possibly his child lived till said eruption and Roku's DEATH) and Iroh warming a tea in the train station to the Earth Kingdom's capital city whose name means "Impenetrable City" is considered to be part of Firebending in general.
@@theowilds3778 yeah because thats just skill and mastery, korra freezing the mech (100ft) with no avatar state doesnt make icebending a unique and special sub
@@theowilds3778it's still fire but invisible 😂
Fun fact:when an avatar is added the avatar state becomes stornger
But the video also points out the effectiveness of the bending when executed by the user. So, it doesn't necessarily mean that the avatar would be the top tier.
Cap..... **Looks at Korra**
10:10 Zukos grandson is named after his uncle?🥹💜my heart melted. That’s so cute. They honor him in the best ways
Best video ever 👌🏻😁
Idk if anyone has said it but you did not mention Sun who is also a lavabender.Also Lao ge the earthbender who claimed to discovered the secret to immortality
What happened to soundbending or invisibility?
In a novel, Avatar Kiyoshi fights a glass bender
We can’t be sure yakone was the first to blood bend without the full moon he said his family has the strongest line of blood benders which might mean his family were able to use it without the full moon they just kept it secret
The true Avatar will know the Sand Bending and Lion-Turtel bending (Spirit away bending) 👇
In my opinion, lightning bending was supposed to be an air technique.
Lightning occurrence is more related to weather.
There had to be a fire technique in lava bending.
In lava, it's very hot like fire.
It's still make sense for an earthbender to bend lava. Afterall, lava is just liquid earth. But I would theorise that in order for an earthbender to be able to lavabend, he/she must possessed a minor-fire chi that he/she get through 1 of his/her parents. Like Bolin, who is an earthbender, but has a minor fire pre-disposition chi through her firebending mother.
Honestly, I thought the reason they could lava bend was because they were the children of an earth bender and a fire bender lol
I thought it was ok for lava bending since i assumed you need to be mixed with the blood of a fire and earth bender.(i haven't finish watching)
No lightning isnt from weather tho. it is literally electricity. the movement of electrons, as they jolt up to the protons creating a bolt.
Doesn't make any sense for it to be an air technique, air benders aren't just weather manipulators. By this logic, air benders should basically just be fire benders because they're lacking a temperature transfer technique. Imo tho, we haven't seen the most dangerous subform of air which is implosion bending, they haven't even suggested it exists.
Sand bending,plant bending,mud bending,suffocation is also a type of bending,crystal bending
Also sound ending
Plant bending doesn't exist mud bending doesn't exist what you're listing most of it doesn't exist.
I know Korra can also do Healing technique not just Kya and Katara.
You forgot that once when zuko and katara were finding the man that killed her mom she used blood bending when there was not a full moon
earlier that same episode, before katara and soku get on appa you can see the moon and its full
Forgot:
Sand bending (earth)
Heat bending (fire
Plant bending (water)
2:19 actually it might not as people might not like anime or avatar the last airbender just saying
Sand bending,gem bending, immortality bending and sound bending?!

@@Toji_fushigoro17 fr
@@Toji_fushigoro17 that is like saying lava bending is just like earth bending
@@Toji_fushigoro17blood and spirit are also just water bendimg
In a avatar video someone said spirit bending was invented by someone else during the Avatar before kyoshi.
I saw a theory that kind of explains lava bending and why we don't hear anything about it before Legend of Korra. This theory helps me accept it. To be able to lava bend you have to have a parent from both the fire nation and the earth kingdom and while you might not be able to bend fire as well, fire is still in your blood and you are able to connect with it when it is part of rock. It wasn't until sometime after the 100 year war where interracial marriages became more common. This theory would also help explain why it's so rare, but not unheard of in the time of Korra.
There Are much more for acamplr Plant Bending,Sand Bending, Mut Bending
wat adout sand bending
It’s a sub element of earth, bending and desert creatures and made it and tofh knows metal banding and sand bending
Never mind, I thought you meant what is sand bending
Spelling left the chat
Ice bending?
Sand bending?
Vine bending?
Posin bending?
vine bending is just bending water inside plants so its not really a sub bending same with poison since the poison was just mercury a type of metal. Ice bending isnt really considered a sub bending since everyone can do it and its so common and yeah he just missed sandbending
Aang took out Ozai's bending even when the latter was aided by Sozin's Comet, this easily surpasses what Korra did
sand bending and temperature regulation have left the chat
"Deadly or even fatal!" -this guy, 2024
I always thought that Avatar specific bending would be cooler. Like you said Lava Bending would be a combo of Earth and Fire. And how about Steam Bending being Water and Fire. Cloud bending could be Water and Air. Plant Bending would be Water and Earth. Lightning could have been Air and Earth. Invisibility could be Air and Water. I could go on. I think its probably better the way it is giving more characters more options. But, it would be cool to have Avatar Aang and Korra use these various combinations to make them overpowered after mastering the basic four elements. It would give them a logical power creep in later episodes as tools for their success that they have to creatively use in difficult situations. It would be a great way to keep the action exciting and fresh and difficult situations a way to demonstrate creative problem solving. I can already see Sokka brainstorming a plan asking Aang if combining two or three elements to try some sort of creative escape plan.
Naruto already has the copyright
these are all possible with single elements water is shown from day 1 to be all forms of water. invisibility would just be bending air to then bend light reflecting off it no need for water. earth has n relation to plants themselves as earth bender cant control plants only rocks. and lava is just an earth form change
Steam wouldn't make the much sence since waterbenders can chance water for ice and gas same thign cloud bending
at the end of the day, steambending is still a waterbending only technique, plant bending only makes sense for waterbenders, and invisibility isnt a thing in the avatar universe💀and lightning is only a firebender only technique too. all you said was a bunch of gibberish…
@@itsketchup8114 Its not gibberish. Just because that's not how it works in the world of Avatar doesn't mean that's not how it could have worked. You lack imagination. Let's take lightning for example. In real life lightning has literally nothing to do with fire. It can cause a fire, but here's a literal Google search for a Lightning bolt "In the initial stages of development, air acts as an insulator between the positive and negative charges in the cloud and between the cloud and the ground", hence I combined Air and ground. I suppose adding water as a third element would have made more sense to form the cloud, literally every element except fire makes sense in the real world. You wanna run that "gibberish" comment by me again?
Damn Amon made me subscribe SHIT

Sand bending is not unique. That is relatively easy for earthbenders to use. And wasn’t it stated that powerful water benders have the ability to heal?
