Who is your favorite NON Bender from Avatar?
Sokka
Sokkaaaaa
Sokka, easy
Sokka
Sokka. I love that goof.
Oh, I'd go even farther than that: I 100% believe she's an untrained airbender.
She's more than just 'lightfooted' -- look at the height of all her jumps! Nobody but Aang can jump that high. She wasn't just in the circus -- she was a trapeze performer in specific, and the brief glimpse we got of her at work implies that she's normally quite comfortable in midair. Her fighting style seems to emphasize speed and evasion, like Aang's does, and rather than aggression like Azula's or Mai's.
So yeah, Aang might have been the last actual survivor of the Air Nomads as they were before the, um, genocide, but I'm sure there are other untrained airbenders with refugee ancestry that just ... didn't turn up in canon often.
Smart!
Nope! We see zuko jump tens of feet to get to the fire ship when azula invaded the eastern air temple
@@VDont not quite the same thing
I dont really think so.... because in Korra, after the spirit portals were opened, random ppl became airbenders and their bending was really obvious and uncontrollable....
@@tori.e720 Those random people wre implied to be the descendants of non-bending Air nomads. The Air nomads also produced non-benderss and I read somewhere those were sent to the other nations as grown ups, basically exiled once they could fend for themselves. Ty Lee could also easily have been related to those non-bending Air nomads.
One of Aang’s granddaughters in LOK looks so much like Ty Lee that I actually thought she was the person in the thumbnail for the split second that I forgot who Ty Lee was.
Colby
Ah same
Oof
Jinora
That's what I thought. There's def resemblance from past ancestors.
There is a running fan-theory that Pema (the wife of Aang’s son Tenzin) is the daughter or granddaughter of Ty Lee
Ty Lee would be an unbeatable fighter if she had the ability to airbend, using bending for normal people then chi block for benders is a scary mix.
Good thing she is pretty cheerful and not aggressive then :D
Not to mention that air-bending could be horrifying if applied lethally. Creating and manipulating vacuums and pressure waves would be no joke and when added to her already impressive maneuverability she could practically fly.
And don't get me started on gale-force wind in opposing directions that, while not sharp as anime typically depicts it, could likely tear apart anything we've seen in the given world.
@@Draiocht012 Air bending is probably the most dangerous of all the elements in the show.... there is basically unlimited air and you can never run out of it... while even firebenders can run out of energy for their firebending given enough time as the energy comes from within them but is still used up... airbending however is completely unlimited...
Its a good thing that the airbenders are basically pacifists that avoid fighting at all costs otherwise they would be a threat far worse than the fire nation.
@@arcanumelite4853 I'm not sure about that. Nothing happens without the expenditure of energy. Just because Firebending is the only one we get an exact explanation of how the chi becomes the fire doesn't mean the others don't use their chi when they bend.
That being said I do agree it's the most potentially lethal.
The question is, why no benders ever learn chi blocking? It can't be they just think it's useless.
Tenzin, Aang's airbending son, married Ty Lee's daughter Pema. Her having any kind of airbending in her blood could help explain why all her children are airbenders with great power. Even Aang struggled to get an airbending child. It just makes sense.
all air nomads are benders because of their strong connection to spirits. i think since aang was spiritual and katara wasn't, it made it difficult to get an airbending child. i think it was easy for tenzin and pema because tenzin is spiritual and even tho pema is a non bender, she's an air acolyte and is also like the air nomads just remove the airbending
@@wrl8587 that makes sense too
How do you know Pema is Ty Lee's daughter?
But Pema being Ty Lee's daughter would explain to me why jinora looks like ty lee
Ah, ha!
Some points I’d like to make:
- One of Ty Lee’s sisters played Aang in the ember island players satire play
- Ty Lee’s combat skills would be suitable for an Airbender refugee fighting w/o their bending, but still fighting swiftly (just like Aang)
- The size of Ty Lee’s family could be a result of the family’s lineage trying to breed an Airbender
Wait that actress was one of Ty Lee’s sisters??
Ty Lee's sister? Where was that jnfo from?
The size is cause they're septuplets
They weren't going for that many butter it just worked out that way
Yeah, the fact that she can jump from tree to tree really sells me on this, the only other people I can think of doing that are aang and his descendants, excluding the random airbenders that just pop up out of nowhere
@@justsomeguyanimations "Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness."
-Sun Tzu, The Art Of War
I like the theory that the actress who plays Aang in the Ember island theatre is one of Ty Lee's sisters
I mean thats pretty much common knowledge.
@@zacharywilliams2 ...Is it?
Nonomen it wasn’t for me until I read a comment on this video (not this one, but yeah, 20 seconds ago)
Zachary Williams no it isn’t? I’m obsessed w avatar have been since I was a child, and I’ve never heard this theory
Zachary Williams If Ty lee’s sister was playing a character, why wouldn’t she play ty lee? You know, Ty lee? Her own identical sister, who was also a character in the play???
She’s an airbender cause she be laughing at gravity
XD

XD Pants are an illusion and so is death

Ty Lee: a descendant of Air Nomads, born in the Fire Nation, joined an Earth Kingdom team of warriors from an island that has some Water Tribe influences in their names and clothing. So, she's basically the Avatar without bending.
Genius xd
Parkour!
True
Or Ms Worldwide
Dont the kyoshi warriors have air bender descent
This actually would explain the Korra series too.
In the legend of Korra, a bunch of people are suddenly able to airbend after a spiritual occurrence.
The people who are able to suddenly airbend seem to be random in the show, without any pattern.
But if you think about it, Bumi, Avatar Aangs first non-bender son, gets airbending. What are the odds of him, specifically him getting airbending. The answer is really really high!
He carries the genetic marker of an Airbender, and the spiritual occurrence triggered his bending.
That would mean for all other people in the world who obtained airbending, they would have carried the genetic marker for an Airbender too by ancestry, making the whole deal way less random, but actually quite clever.
This would also mean that there were in fact a lot of survivors after the initial attack.
That, or the airnomads were really into interracial reproduction.
Totally agree with you had a similar thought
I mean, logistically speaking since air nomads were traveling all over the place anyway, they were a lot more likely to come into frequent contact with other peoples than any of the other nations. So historically they probably did have a whole lot of interracial pairings.
Hello future me made a video basically confirming these points I think your right on the money
it still doesnt explain why they couldnt bend
@@fatherdog346 resessive gene. Think of it as children born with blue eyes and after a few years they become a different color like brown or green
Alternative hypothesis: a high ranking fire nation general fell in love with an air nomad during a raid.
i need this as a story now
Why would an air nomad fall in love with a general attacking her home lol.
@@Budders5576 maybe they had already fallen in love and he used the raid as the excuse to get her out? or had heard about the order early enough and had enough time and resources to discreetly warn and move her?
@@myboicyndaquil2824 well he said they fell in love "during" the raid.
@@Budders5576 fair point
I know having multiple babies at one time does happen but. I never took it as that her sister's are all the same age as her. I always took it as that all six of her sisters just so happen to look exactly like her. Because that does happen. I have a friend who's brother looks exactly like him. And it's mindboggling to me how strong genetics can be.
Yeah same. I dont know if she actually said that she has identical sisters or just sisters who are (basically) identical to her
@@claraboe2755 She called her and her sisters a "matched set", so if they're not identical sextuplets they're at least identical sisters.
perhaps 2 twins and a triplet
Or Octuplets and one didn't survive?
This is how I took it too. They never actually say in the series that they were the same age, and if they were it would have been pretty likely that another one of the sister's was friends with Azula and Mai too. I'm pretty sure they were just sisters who looked incredibly similar. Like he said Identical septuplets has never happened, ever so if this was the case I think they probably would've been more clear about it. I mean Ty Lee does talk about her family a couple times through out the series.
And then there’s Tenzin’s child Jinora and when you compare her to Ty Lee you can see similar characteristics.
Late Gaming with Iain Jarvis i actually thought it was a pic of Jinora on the thumbnail
I thought that was her I’m the thumbnail lol
Tenzins wife is ty lees daughter
I thought it was Jinora in the thumbnail
@ I thought that too!
"Let's talk about her appearance...there are some things that REALLY stand out!". Yup, mhm, her hair.
Ty Lee's hair is pretty though.
Yes
Her hair looks amazing
Obviously air nomads would try to blend in... The OG airbenders shaved there heads
Ckight k not the women avatar yangchen had hair and she was a woman
I thought from the thumbnail you were going to mention Tenzin's daughter, Jinora, which also has an uncanny resemblance to Ty Lee. In any case, I do agree that there could have been Air nomads surviving the genocide of their culture, mostly hiding in the earth nation because, well, it is huge and have some safe spots that resisted the 100 years of war, but some could also hid on the north and south pole, and even in the fire nation. It is also possible that Ty Lee's airbender ancestors married into the fire nation before the war started, so even if her ancestry is known, nobody would suspect or see her in a bad light. Also, in LoK, the new air benders could be the descendants of the surviving air nomads, with their bending reawakening due to the harmonic convergence.
Bumi is a testament to that possibility
Ty lee is her grandmother
Yea, upon seeing the thumbnail I guenuenly thought it was jinora with ty Lee's hair
She is such a underrated character - she NEEDED more screen-time along when she got in with the Kyoshi Warriors rather than in the comics.
Other than her “Air Nomad” style, she’s really strong, flexible, and agile. Plus she introduced us to chi-blocking - which makes her the unique person she is. She even made Suki and the Kyoshi Warriors better - another reason why she should be considered the strongest non-bender.
She’s just a badass character with her nice vibe as well. One of the most unique characters in the show that deserved better honestly.
Joonie bums Agree. Season 4 could have been such a ride seeing them a bit more with the Gaang instead of Azula! Would have made another opportunity of making the show even better than it already was.
••• Mix Heaven ••• I've never hear anyone call it the Gaang and I love it
@@_hxri_5505 simp
Jeron Fishburn Can you blame me tho?
@@_hxri_5505 nah fam. She's hot
I’ve always thought that Ty Lee was of air nomad descent. Aang is most likely the last Airbender, but not the last of Air Nomad descent.
i remember reading that a lot of air nomads weren't monks, and the fire nation only wiped out the temples. i wonder if any of the other nomads survived, but concealed their bending to avoid prosecution
All air nomads were monks, and even if they weren't it is stated that air nomads have a 100% bender rate do to their deep connection to the spirit world. So anyone of air nomad descent would be an Airbender. The only exceptions to the air bender rule are Aangs childrens, which may be because of him being the Avatar, or Katara being incredibly predisposed to breed non benders
@@milkymommy681 That's not true, the Firenation hunted down all of the last Airbenders that escaped the attacks of the Air temples.
@@ng7756 There are many waterbenders living in the earth Kingdom who have assimilated into their culture. Avatar kyoshi's mom was a renegade air nomad. I think there are many more unnamed renegades who managed to assimilate into the cultures of the other nations due to their disdain of the air nomad ways. Ty Lee has grey eyes, a rare trait among the fire nation. Just like how suki has blue eyes a trait of the water Tribe which suggests water Tribe descent. Kyoshi Island is a port where people of diffrent nations mixed.
@@saint7187 I mean I wouldn't say Katara is incredibly predisposed to breed non-benders. Only 1 out of 3 of her children was a non-bender, the other two an airbender and a waterbender. And in the end, 2 of her children were airbenders and 1 was a waterbender sooo she now has had 100% of her children as benders.
Ty lee is cool because in the beach episode she knocks out a bunch of simps.
As i joked before, fir some men she is a bloodbender if you know what i mean
NicksAlleyway Bruh
@@mattysdentist2134 xD you got it! *Uncultured Swine Test Passed*
@@StrandedClone haha saw ur other comment on the simp bender comment
I would say a mix of simp and incel or maybe im wrong
Huh I just always interpreted Ty Lee as meaning that she and her sisters looked very similar, even if they were slightly different ages. Like even if you're not identical twins, your parents or others might still say things like, "Su--no, Anne--no, Lea--no..."
That.Nutmeg.Girl yeah i always thought that too bc i have seen a lot of copy and paste siblings
I thought the same thing, but apparently someone said that in one of the comics it says they are sextuplets 🤷♀️
I like to think that all the people who got air-bending in Korra all have a recessive 'air-bending gene' which was awakened after harmonic convergence. Maybe the reason Aang only had one air-bender child is because air is the most recessive of all the 'bending' genes.
There has to be multiple genes involved in bending abilities. Neither of Sokka and Katara's parent's were benders, but Katara was, same with Toph's parent's neither were benders. Then you have where both Katara and Aang produce one child without the ability to bend, then Zuko's mother was never shown to have bending abilities, but both her children were benders. There's no good explanation for this other than multiple factors are needed not only to determine if someone is a bender, but also how types of bendings interact genetically. It should be pointed out that until Aang and Katara had children there are no known (to us) incidences of mixed bender relations/children.
@@gamers-fb5se Since Sokka and Katara's grandmother was from the north tribe, there is a chance she had a dormant water-bending gene, making Katara an atavism, same with Toph. I think Air is the most recessive of all the bending genes, even being more recessive than non-bending. That explains why Aang and Katara only had one air-bending child.
aang's other son was an airbender too
@@lilbrattey3548 Only after Harmonic convergence. He had the genetic potential, but needed it to be awakened.
@@jonbilgutay2 oh okay
They never said that they where septuplets, I always thought of them as siblings who look very similar (it could happen, and it makes more sense then septuplets)
its says on the official wikia page that they septuplets
In the comic where we see ty-Lee’s sister they’re all the same age. So they would have to be septuplets let’s or Ty-lee’s mom had quadruplets and then triples one year apart.
@Jenny Shull that makes me think Cozen kept some air nomads as test subjects and tielee is one of them.
I always thought the could have been genetically bred to b an air Bender or something.. and she was the only true positive
Except they would all be different ages. If the mother took no break (yikes) they would age up in incrementations 9 months. The oldest would be 5-7 years older than the youngest, and they wouldn't be identical.
She definitely fits the bill, so I'd say she's very likely of Air Nomad descent. If Ty Lee were alive during Harmonic Convergence, she'd probably gain Airbending.
They say that Pemma is her daughter making all of Aangs grandkids her grandkids as well. It's verg possible
@@latenightthinker4737 All of Aang's grandkids got strong airbending powers, even though Aang himself had a dud like Bumi. The bloodline.
@@FramedSabotage hey now, Bumi wasn't a dud. He got the spiritual genes
@@latenightthinker4737 Oh yes, that;s true, but does not negate my point.
@@FramedSabotage tru tru
U forgot that Tai Lee can almost fly in the trees.
Ty Lee moves almost exactly like Aang in the trees.
My brothers name is Tai Lee, the one from avatar is TY Lee
Honestly, it wouldn’t be that hard for an air bender to escape if they didn’t yet earn their tattoos. They could fly off somewhere safe and just avoid using their bending and no one would know.
Maybe start a little family and share their people’s spiritual teachings with the kiddos but just not mention the bending part.
It's so sad though... having that gift but never being able to use it freely
ah ha no thanks ok calm down lol
@@sparks6177 haha ik I was being.... spiritual?? Idek anymore😂😂
ah ha no thanks lol
@@bella-jt9cb Haha, that reminds me to Haru.
I never thought she was a septuplet, I just thought her sisters looked very similar to her. What you said makes more sense for her frustration. I’ll go with it.
She also shares the name. Ty Lee, she admitted in the beach episode, is the same name for all seven soooo....
Actually according to the comics (which are canon) all of the septuplets share the ty part of the name but other then that their names are different
@@Pokegirl3515 so in the comics they are indeed septuplets?
@@adriebaby4137 yes they are
@@Pokegirl3515 thats interesting i didnt know that. thank you
This theory, if correct, can also help explain why opening the barriers to the spirit world in The Legend of Korra gave certain people Airbending, they were descendants.
Additional theory : Ty Lee or one of her sisters is Pemma’s mother. Which would explain why explains why everyone of Pemma and Tenzan’s kids is an Airbender. Pemma herself is a Squib.
Wait isnt squib from harry Harry Potter
It's a reference
Actually that makes alot of sense because pemma has a higher chance of giving birth to a air bender because she has air bending genes though it is like 1 56
Had to do a double-take at the HP-reference you gave there. They just call people who can't bend, non-benders but that was cool. Squibs. Haha.
I do want to point out that, from knowing the history of the avatar universe, we can pretty much understand why there wasn't much of a distinction or discrimination between the benders and non-benders until Korra's era. The history of humans on avatar universe show us that people didn't use to have such powers. Rather, it was given to them by spirits (or was it spiritgods). So there is a certain awareness that, if you were born a bender, you should be grateful because you were "chosen by the spirits or whatever" and it's not like in HP where it's like, "Unless you are a powerful witch or wizard, you are a disgrace!" - at least to blood-purist families.
And, anyway, in HP universe, the history of mankind and muggle-kind is just practically erased to the point where we cannot identify why some humans produce magicals, or why some wizarding couples produce squibs.
I love the word squib. it only makes sense in a world where some form of magic exists, but it's kind of necessary. Just saying "non-bender" could mean that there is no bending lineage or that the parents were benders and the child wasn't. Squib makes a very specific distinction.
This video definitely missed the fact that in the Kyoshi novels, airbending can be strengthened and lost through lack of spirituality, which is why all the air nomads could air bend, but it wasn't all genetic. When you're running for your life, survivability becomes the main priority in life, so sacrificing spiritual beliefs could be highly likely.
And when you are fully spiritual and let go of earthly attachments you can fly like Zaheer. So you do have a strong point here indeed.
I finished the TLA series for the 5th time yesterday and i'm absolutely loving these Avatar theories, keep 'em coming!
Every time you see something new
5th im on 16th
You got it!
You are restarting the series aren’t you... going for #6
5th? Pathetic I have watched it 1723times
Another fact I noticed is that she can jump really high like Anng whenever he jumps like 10 feet
that would explain why she takes to gymnastics. shes super light on her feet.
She's another twinkle toes
Toph: Vietnam war flashbacks
Im alil uhhh... messed up so to speak, but why does nobody ever ask about Angs parents? We hear about every other characters family life except Ang- why dont we know ANYTHING about them? Was he given up at birth? Whatsup?
As far as I know, traditionally air nomad children are raised communally & not directly by their parents, often not even knowing which nun/monk were their actual parents. So Aang might not even know himself who his parents are.
@Lady Seashell Bikini actually, it's confirmed that air nomad has LGBT community. So, free love is probably an accepted concept
This actually matches up with the theory that *many* air nomads escaped, and suppressed their abilities. Some of their descendants were granted the ability to air bend again, after harmonic convergence (legend of Korra).
BTW, both of these things match with my theory on the 2 components of bending, let me know if you would like a place to start on that theory.
I was thinking the exact same thing about the harmonic convergence! It all connects!
Agreed. It is also not unreasonable to think it wasn't some one time event, and that airbenders would occasionally settle down in another nation, not all their children would be benders, and some of those lines would eventually reawaken during LoK.
Are you saying those who suppressed their abilities were... obscurus!!!
I’m sure that the bending would also skip generations or be imbedded somehow. After all, not all of Aang’s children were benders
Carmen Herrera actually yes, all three of them were. Even if his first born was a.. ehm rater late bloom 😂
Ty Lee is my favorite female character. I totally had a crush on her. Would love to have seen how she grown up in The Legend of Korra.
Fan theory is that Tenzin’s wife Pema is either her daughter or granddaughter, which is why Jinora looks so much like her. Never confirmed, but it’s my headcannon.
Who didn't had a crush on her?
I had a on extreme attraction and infatuation to Azula and Ty Lee. Mostly Ty lee by the end though.
@@barlim406 I feel like everyone did.
Korra is the worst avatar and a bad person.
At this point I just wanna point out her fighting style. Look at it, especially her vertical jumps. Also partly horizontal. Throughout the series we never see someone fight like her except.....Aang. They do move In similar fashion while Ty lee has the upper hand on agility.
Look at other nonbending fighters. They all have pretty clear limitations! Even When suki climbs at the boiling rock to capture the warden we just see insane parkour skillls and ty lee even beat that in a lot of fighting scenes by the sheer height of her jumps for example.
Just Imagine she was brain washed so she wouldn't ectively use her bending powers and she's only using them in a really slight fashion subconciously!!
I mean I guess this is a good theory, but you have to remember that she was part of a fighting camp when she was younger and then moved to the circus. Its more possible that she combines what she learned from both than her being an airbender. Plus I dont think someone cant brainwash her into not using her airbending if she did have any, its more like for her to have her chi blocked. Tbh I just think its more obvious that she isnt a bender but does carry it as a gene. Like she could be a descendant rather than being a full bender.
That's like saying every single one of Amon's chi blockers are air nomads too. That's just moronic.
i love how this is worded, like "her vertical jumps that are also horizontal" describes most jumping used in combat ever
J: There have been septuplets in the world
Me: *flashbacks to when Octomom was famous*
That's different. They were born through artificial insemination and they weren't identical.
I also like the theory that Pema from legend of Korra is Tylee’s daughter.
Air Nomad descendants could also be the ones who got air bending from harmonic convergence in LOK!
The theory isn't far-fetched. I mean she never once in the show fire bends, just like Mei doesn't fire bend wither. Mei is probably a Non-Bender. But Ty Lee could honestly be a Air bender just from being able to balance so well on trees, rocks and buildings.
Also Ty Lee doesn’t seem to have any of the physical attributes the others have (black hair, dark eyes.)
And she never hurts anyone, just disables them temporarily
@@andreeacat7071 a lot of people in the fire nation have brown hair. plus zuko and ozai have golden/light brown eyes.
Who else wishes Iroh had a part in hiding her family?
yes, perhaps even secretly related somehow.
Another note: Everyone in the fire nation has very thin sharply shaped eyes but Ty Lee's are round... the same shape as Aang's eyes.
Yes. She is the only other character that looks like Aang
Actually is appas lost days, the little boy that sees appa at the circus resembles Aang and also makes appa think about him when he laughs
RainJME Rain could be her cousin
I forgot about that. Air Benders could be hiding from the Fire Nation by joining the circus
Send receipts 😂 l
Is it just me or on the thumbnail, Ty Lee looks like an older Jinora?
Aang: I’m the last airbender
Appa, Ty Lee and her sisters:
*Am I a joke to you?*
Edit: what if Azula knew about Ty Lee being an airbender, but she chose not to say anything because:
*Azula Always Lies*
And/or
Azula respects Ty Lee because Ty Lee respects her
There is also a chance she wanted Ty Lee and her family to be the last airbenders so she wanted to wipe out Aang. Although we know it’s most likely cuz she knew Zuko was supposed to capture the Avatar to restore his honor and go back home and she didn’t want that, but at the same time she did want Zuko to come home, probably just to get on her nerves.
* She has the same eye color as Aang
* She has brown hair, unlike other fire nation citizens, and Aang has brown hair in Book 3 and a brown beard in TLOK.
* She is flexible, agile and is an acrobat. Air is the element of freedom.
* She uses Chi-Blocking to defeat her enemies instead of hurting/killing them. The air monks always told Aang that all life is sacred.
Fun, irrelevant fact: At Sozin’s Comet, Azula had one loose hair. Later on in the episode, her hair becomes all jacked up.
It’s a metaphor to her mental state.
When Azula had that single out of place hair, it was a metaphor to show a warning about her mental state.
During her battle with Zuko and Katara, her hair was getting more ruined and ruined. It was showing her mental state. When her hair looked the craziest, she was fully mentally ill and acting like a complete animal, so she was put in a straitjacket and put in an asylum.

My two cents are the following,
Air nomads live everywhere, when an air bender is born, they are send to the air nomads temples for training.
So essentially, the air nation still lives, however, with all the hiding and fighting and stuff, no more air benders were found, because they were no where for then to go for the training, and since air bending is highly spiritual, it must not show as easily as other bending techniques.
that isn't really true, while there isn't any real mention of relationships outside of the air nomad temples other than of course fan theories, the likely hood of an air bender being born outside the temple and then being brought to a temple is highly unlikely since some of those temples aren't really that accessible to normal people and or certain benders while a earth bender could feasibly get to a temple it isn't really likely still (Yes I'm aware fire nation soldiers got up there, however because of the comet most fire benders got immense power so they could like some masters could fly, even if it was only for a short time.) . And as another thing, Air Benders were always born among the air nomads due to high spirituality so most likely most air nomads kept themselves from breeding with other benders as the high spirituality always guaranteed a bender so there could be a chance an air nomad would have a fire bender or an earth bender and so on instead of an air bender and that could slowly dwindle the population. So as I said already, most probably only had relationships with other Air Nomads.
@@ztoxicman I based my response on the word nomad only, apart from spirituality, other thing about the air nation is freedom, and I see that there could be people living nomadic around all nations, we have similar cultures like the gipsies, they lived similar to nomads, and, afaik, they still stayed between their own people.
I admit I did not consume any other media from ATLA besides the original anime, Kora and a couple of youtube videos
I love how people still talk about ATLA to this day. It's as if the show is still going on and It's so alive. I LOVE this show.
Ty Lee is Aang's alternate dimension form as a girl (for me)
I clicked and I was like I don’t think so but you’ll convince me 😂
Haha thats our bread and butter!
Normally same, but this time I immediately thought it made sense and clicked to hear specifics
Me with so many theory videos XD
Really? This has been a common theory for a while, or at least ive seen it mentioned a lot
@@makaylamann500
It's been literal years since I've watched Avatar theories, and just the show itself, so I wouldn't know XP
If Ty Lee's has Airbending ancestors, their first might've still been alive in the series. Many monks, and just people live to the age of 100. Shoot, Bumi lived to at least 114 and he was crazy and fighting a war.
sanaa majeed Bumi was an earth bender tho
@@koushisugawara1559 I don't get how that's relevant. As far as Bumi, my point is that he live as long as he did dispite doing all the heavy lifting he did.
Yea patik was 150 years old
Finally someone who gets it. There is one way the theory could still work. And that would be if it was a couple of generations _before_ the war. Air Nomad ancestry and the Nomads are still gone by the time the series start.
Ty Lee is probably the third most evasive character in the series, after Aang and Piandao... but even she couldn't evade Sokka's forehead.
Who's Piandao? What does he look like/do?
@@elijahharing The sword master who trained Sokka.
True 😂😂😭
Any other OGs here remember "These socks are amazing!"
Yes
Remember, she said she had identical sisters, not identical twins. They could have been born within a few years and still all looked exactly alike
yes that's what i thought too
She says in the show they all look the same
@@kooliokatz2540 yes but some families have a strong resemblance... someone saw a pic of my dad with his brothers and asked how we tell them apart (no twins), my sister was told by a coworker that she saw her twin - it was my brother, he's 5 1/2 years younger. Paul Walker and his brothers look crazy alike...
have you even read the comics. they all look EXACTLY the same
@@ipiinsih3655 yes but that doesn't mean they are septuplets they could just look alike very much ...
It’s a convincing theory. Moreover, Ty Li’s face is Aang’s face with a braid.
I have always supported this theory since Ty Lee's debut in the series. I also love the idea that Pema is related to Ty Lee as well. Perhaps one of Ty Lee's AN ancestor married a FN nobleman, maybe the ancestor was even killed by Sozin and/or the information was hidden from the family to protect the family....I also have a theory that everyone who received Airbending during Harmonic Convergence had Air Nomad DNA in them, as supported that Bumi received AB, who is 50% AN. I have another theory that the Order of the White Lotus also hid Air Nomad babies around the world, but none were Airbenders because they had no connection to an Air Culture. The Southern Air Temple Council did suspect that trouble was brewing. Might also explain the high density of new Airbenders in Ba Sing Se following Harmonic Convergence, apart from the fact that Ba Sing Se has the largest population of any other city in the world.
Personally I would love another story with Aang and Ty Lee where they learn this history before Tenzin was born and Aang uses Energybending on Ty Lee to make her an Airbender in hopes that it will help preserve Airbending in case he doesn't produce an Airbending heir to teach the next Avatar. They didn't share this with the rest of the Gaang.
Ronlof the harmonic convergence theory is actually something I’ve never thought about but maybe your right
Perhaps General Iroh and/or the White Lotus played a role in the protecting Ty Lee's family. I've always believed there was some air temple connection to Ty Lee and her family's past. Glad to see others saying the same thing.

Also also, actually actually: Aura is someone's atmosphere that surrounds. She can see auras which is basically seeing the air around people, hence maybe it is some sort of air bending. I cant believe you didn't mention it!
needs more likes
That’s jus dumb, that doesn’t make sense
@Certified Normie Not that saying "that's dumb" and nothing else isn't dumb, but one doesn't need a better alternative to know something doesn't make sense.
Personally, I think it's dumb because it isn't the air you're seeing in an aura, supposedly, but rather the spirit itself. It'd make sense for an airbender to see auras because they're generally spiritual, but not because "the air around people". If the aura were the air itself, you could aurabend by simply airbending, at least a little bit. I'm not sure the show has shown or refuted that (outside, say, people maintaining auras within windy storms), but I wager it wouldn't commit to showing truth of that sort of idea air-aura idea either.
Kowzorz I understand what you are saying. However if you look up the definition of aura its the atmosphere around someone. Atmosphere is the air which is where I got that idea. Maybe like blood bending it would take immense power to actually bend someone’s aura which is why there aren’t examples. I see what you are saying by maybe it’s just because air benders are so spiritual that they can see auras. However, she is young and already has a natural ability to see auras which in my opinion goes beyond normal capabilities.
Im pretty sure its just like someones vibe when ty lee is talking about it
Every time he mentioned living in the Fire Nation my head sung “In the Empire” from the Phineas and Ferb and Star Wars special
Thats... oddly specific...
You can march to the beat of conformity
Brilliant theory. I was wondering about Ty Lee's brown hair too, since that color is only present in Air Nomads, Water Tribe members, and a good chunk (though not all) of Earth Kingdom members.
There's something very much along these lines that I've always though. So they say that the air nomads can all airbend because of their spiritual purity, so it makes sense that their decedents in hiding would not be able to airbend.
In Legend of Korra when a whole bunch of people gain airbending, I always wondered if it was the descendants of surviving airbenders that were never able to airbend... you know, kinda like Bumi.
0:59 I bet y'all couldn't even read the text that said "this is a lot of little text to read in a short amount of time but I believe in you" the level of reading the whole article
Guys, it’s not the “Air Nation” It’s the “Fire Nation, Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, and Air Nomads” sorry, just had to get that off of my chest.
Technically each are “nations” by the definition. But yeah I get what you man
@@BrianHall33 long ago the 4 NATIONS lived together in harmony then everything changed when the fire nation attacked
Bruh, this his guys never seen the intro
THANK YOU
@The Ultimate Gryffin you are right lol
At least in my mind... Air nomads escaping and blending in the colonies is canonical. That's why at the legend of Korra a bunch of people start expressing their air bending powers... air nomads descendents.
This new Ty Lee theory checks out for me
Edit: this was a theory that I've seen time ago... th-cam.com/video/-zS-RMBan2A/w-d-xo.html
I always assumed Ty Lee was being hyperbolic when she said she had 6 identical sisters. Like, yes she had 6 sisters, but lots of siblings look very similar. So I just assumed that's what she meant, not that they were septuplets.
In regards to bending "genetics" while there is a genetic component, it also requires a degree of spirituality. For example, Sokka has the capacity to bend on a genetic level but fails to meet the spiritual side of it and thus is a non-bender. Since any Air Nomad children raised during the 100 year war would've by necessity been raised outside of Air Nomad culture even a genetic potential would've been underdeveloped.
My favorite non bender is Mai but the theory that ty Lee’s daughter is Pena is mind blowing if it’s true because then she would actually be a AIR NOMAD
I like the theory, I always thought that the fact that they killed “all” of the air nomads was just propaganda that the fire nation fed to the public and I think the harmonic convergence from Korra proves that. I think many Air Benders escaped and blended into society have children who carried a dormant air bender gene which surfaced after harmonic convergence. However I am curious where the fact that all Air Nomads are Air Benders fact came from cuz I don’t remember ever hearing that at any point. I’d imagine that Air Acolytes that Aang establishes with the new air nation was based on the old Air Acoyltes with just people who believe in the air nation religion or just those unlucky few who had air nomad parents and had no bending. I don’t see a reason that air acolytes couldn’t or did not already exist in the pre-100 year war era.
The air acolytes were a fanclub before aang recruited them, that part is in the comics
They explained that in various media that bending is tied to spirituality along with genetics and it explains that only a percentage of the citizens have bending abilities with the earth kingdom having the least benders but its off set by the amount of people in the kingdom but air nomads were always 100% benders because of their high spirituality.
Oh yeah it was partly propaganda because they didn’t know where the avatar was, only that he existed because they didn’t have him captive. They genocided the air nomads but the premise is that air nomads had to exist, if only one. But if one slipped, any number of them could have survived.
Joey Rivera they killed the air nomads bc an airbender was next in the avatar rotation
@@mikeyg8133 I know why they did it, that was obvious, but the fact that they got every single one was the fact i was talking about,it totally possible that some escaped and went into hiding, hence the subject of the video.
When I was looking at the show again I saw very element have the next step of it's original. Like fire has electric, water has blood, and earth has metal and I was wondering what was airs next step. And her ability makes sense if it involves air.
Isn't the evolution of air-bending un-assisted flight? Zaheer, the airbender of the Red Lotus managed that in Legend of Korra.
The ability to fly once deatching from Earthly connections.
"Have you ever heard the tale of Guru Laghima?"
I always thought it would be sound since sound is vibrations and pressurized waves of air.
@@johnte3388 Well sound isn't unique to air.
Yeah, it is explored in legend of Korra, flying without support is the “next step”. Just like the other “next steps” take the ideologies of each bending to the extreme (earth: using your other senses to the extreme, fire: controlling your emotions to the extreme, water: feeling the connection between the moon and water to the extreme), air bending is supposed to take ‘no earthly attachments to the extreme.
Imagine instead of korra we got a ty lee story where she travels to discover her past after receiving some hints to find other wandering air nomads and to find that she her self is a descendant ;(
Ty Lee has to be an air nomad! That makes so much sense!
Thinking about it, the new air bender that appear after Korea’s decides to leave the spirit portals open could be these air nomads descendants.
We know that this is the case for at least one of them, Bumi.
7:23 "My turn to give you a quick history lesson" 😂
Do u think if ty lee was alive during harmonic convergence she would get air bending abilities
100%
Yep
Most definitely
i think we should all ignore korra
@@Ayjrin Korra is way better than people give it credit for
The girl that plays Aang in the ember island players is supposedly on of ty Lee’s sisters.

She is definitely a descendant of an air nomad
Nobody:
SCB: Protect your aunts fresh-baked powdered cookies with our sponsor!
This makes a lot of sense, and if harmonic convergence happened then Tylee may have become a actual airbender
I never really took Ty Lee‘s Statement about having six siblings that look exactly like her as actual identical septuplets. I just really assumed that they all look very similar because they were sisters. I’ve seen many sisters that look very similar despite not being twins or triplets.
Hmm this theory hold points if I may offer the counter one.
Yes Ty Lee has Air Nomad ancestry but not from 100 years ago. Ty Lee's ancestor is from many years before hand. We know from Avatar Kyoshi's mother that some Air Nomads reject their old way of life. It's possible that Ty Lee's ancestor preferred Fire Nation culture and ways of living. So they left the Air Nomads to live in the Fire Nation.
I think this makes more sense as J left out one very import details about the Air Nomads their tattoos. If Ty Lee's ancestor survived the initial genocide there's little chance they could marry into a nobel Fire Nation family because the tattoos would give them away. The only way I could see this not happening if the ancestor was not an Airbending Master which I find unlikely as Air Nomads are raised in the temples until they're of age and or earn their tattoos.
Yeah, there are also quite a few characters in the Fire Nation who don't have the typical black hair/amber eyes/sharp face (i.e. Roku's wife, On Ji from the fire nation school, etc). I think before the war it was common to intermarry.
There were probably a few Air Nomads who intermarried with Fire Nation, producing kids of mixed descent way before the war. By the fourth/fifth/sixth generations, they're like Ty Lee: definitely Fire Nation but with some characteristics connecting her to her Air Nomad ancestor.
Theory idea: iroh is part spirit and at some point in time he merged with those knowledge seekers at that library (u know what I’m talking abt, I hope) this explains a lot about his vast knowledge on the spirit world and how he could see aang when he went to the spirit world and rode on rokus dragon. This also explains how he later lived in the spirit world. Btw I love ur guys content keep up the amazing work! 😁
Dharma Konidela definitely never heard that one before
Hidden air nomads in Ba Sing Se can explain what happened in season 3 of legend of Korra when they found all the new air benders
There is no hidden air nomads in Ba Sing Se.
I wish and/or hope that the creators of avatar start making more spinoff stuff and more lore about the events that took place before the events of tlok (showing what happened to Azula,ty lee, and other characters not mentioned in korra
They aren’t identical septuplets, they just look a like
i haven't watched the video yet but is the giveaway that her eyes are grey? I've noticed all of the characters have corresponding eye color based on their element. Ex: blue for water, grey for air, amber for fire, and green for earth (excluding toph because she's blind)
edited:
10:26 yup
except her eyes are not grey they are in fact brown, it’s a slightly grayish brown but brown nonetheless. I just finished rewatching it and had heard about this theory so I payed close attention to her eyes and they are in fact brown
@@MewLightKitten , well, if she is mixed ancestry, then grayish-brown is close enough to work for this theory. And the brown could easily be more prominent since her air bending ancestor would be a couple generations removed.
this argument is flawed tho. hama is water bender from the southern tribe, yet she has grey eyes. eye color is an indicator, but not 100% accurate
I thought Ty Lee joining the Kyoshi Warriors at the end was a way of giving her some kind of an arc. I mean, joining a matching set (something she would absolutely hate at the beginning) shows that she grew and overcame the fear of being unnoticeable among others. I think in terms of her arc, at the end of the series she is meant to show that she knows who she is, that she is unique, and being part of a matching set will not change that. I actually really liked that.
I like the theory. It makes me think that another possible explanation is that someone in the circus is descended from the air nomads. Maybe even the whole circus? Circuses are nomadic in nature, and there are a lot of stories that involve people becoming groups of traveling performers to hide their true nature from enemies seeking to wipe them out.
Very smooth Aang asking the first girl you see to go penguin sledding
"They couldn't have killed all the airbenders"
Sozin's comet: am I a joke to you??

no shade, but it's just so funny, with their HP theories they're running out of all the common ones and are just getting wilder and wilder and now that they're doing a new fandom, they can start with all the well known theories and it's hilarious to me

ps, i already use espress vpn so it doesnt make a difference.
@@Aisha_Luv Wow so joke is on... both of us?! Oh well!
Her ancestors living in the fire nation is very plausible and the definition of "hiding in plain sight." Sozin would have been searching everywhere else in the world for air benders and nomads and probably never even thought to check his own nation.
I like this theory. I'm thinking that maybe some of the Fire Sage's and Fire Nation nobility did in fact hide some Air Nomads. We know that a faction of Fire Sage's did in fact hid somr Sky Bison in a attempt to preserve the Original Air Benders.
So hiding some Air Nomads isn't a stretch. I'm loving this Avatar content from this channel.

This is the first video of yours I've watched in years. I didn't realise it was a scb video and i was looking at some other stuff when i heard "HEY BROTHER!" and when I say my head snapped to the screen SO FAST. Some genuine nostalgia tied to you guys
Edit: the intro is different and idk how i feel about it
I think is really great that you guys are making these ATLA theories (love the content), but it would be cool if you referenced it to the original tumblr post or where you got it from, especially since you guys have such a big channel, it kinda looks like to subscribers (that didn't know of this theory beforehand) as if you guys thought of all of it. Not to shade or anything like that, just a thought for later videos.
if that's the case I'm not against it, but they might have also just realized it themselves, seeing as it's not that hard to get that Ty Lee is very airbender-like
Fluffy Emu Yeah, buts it’s a theory that’s been quite popular for a while (as in, months) especially since ATLA became available for Netflix, you can see a lot of accounts talking about it in many social media platforms, I personally saw it on Instagram around May with the tumblr post (and that was the second time they posted it, as they had done it around January too), and then saw many people talking about in on TikTok and twitter, so even if they thought about it they could say that it was a coincidence or that they didn’t know about it before doing this video. Though, I think they do a lot of research when doing their theory videos, so I don’t see it likely happening. (Just to clarify again to anyone) It really is nothing against them, I thought it would be nice if they kinda said where they found the theory or the inspiration/idea for it.
Pretty sure I read this theory years ago! I think it's a very common one so maybe there's not a single source? Would have been nice to have talked about it's popularity/commonness even if SuperCarlinBrothers thought of it separately.
13:01 In "Return to Omashu", (s2 e3) Azula says that Ty Lee is the daughter of a nobleman.
I thought this was obvious
She moves like an airbender because airbenders and people from the air nation move with grace and little physical contact , firebenders or people from the fire nation move with passion and anger
i had a similar thought after watching the last video.
all the nations have nonbenders, but in every portrayal of the air nomads they are all benders.
my thought was: where did the nonbenders born into the air nation go if not to the temples? surely there had to be some. surely they would share the same culture and practices as their bender-bros. surely these had to survive in some form somewhere.
i think you nailed it though. air nomads (even benders using it only to enhance their performance, as the wind lines in the show seem to be there for the viewers and the bending is invisible to all but the highly observant) using their natural agility to perform a circus, traveling the country/world collecting other air nomads "expanding the circus" seems totally legit. especially if you're right about being aided by high ranking officials, which also makes sense as not everyone in the fire nation was for the war
I love how SCB can get me onboard with things that my first reaction to is like: oh god no... what are you thinking? This is terrible and just wrong..
And then after watching I'm like: omg so cool! Can't believe it, I'm so hyped right now! Wow!
The way I always thought about the wipeout of the Air Nomads was that only the airbenders were wiped out. Air Nomads were nomadic, as J said, but the temples were only accessable by benders, appearing to the rest of the world that the entire nation could bend. So many of the non-benders may have escaped capture, seeing as how without tattoos or bending they weren't as easy to differentiate. That's just the way I thought about it though, sorry.
Hate to be that guy but the monks told young Airbenders to avoid Ba Sing Se because of how different it was to the lifestyle Air Nomads are supposed to practice, it's unlikely that any Air Nomads were in Ba Sing Se at the time of the genocide, plus the 100-year war doesn't start until the Air Nomad genocide so Air Nomads wouldn't know that Ba Sing Se is the safest place. But Ty Lee is awesome and is probably a distant decadent of an Air Nomad as per her physical features and personality, which also explains why she herself could not Airbend due to the lack of spiritual energy in the Fire Nation post Sozin's comet.
