0:56 That's why Tenzin was initially disappointed at Korra, because at her being the Avatar, he expected in a way to see his father again, but instead he just saw his young self staring back at him in Korra.
yeah, I like the fact that each avatar was different before the others. It just shows how they can change over time and fix mistakes from the past and build a better future.
Tenzin is such an amazing character. He's a mentor, a father, and most importantly, a kind man who learns from those he teaches. His presence on screen was always calming and I was eager to learn from him.
Tenzin was supposed to be the Iroh replacement, but I'm glad they made Tenzin have character development rather than the mentor type like Iroh. Tenzin vs Zaheer was still one of the better fights in the series
@@feliciapriscillapalumni12a81 How? Tenzin outclassed him in pretty much everything. He even blocked P'li's point blank explosion. Even with a staff Zaheer is not powerful enough to deal with that.
Aang learned airbending from a whole nation of airbending masters. Tenzin could only learn from one; his dad, the world saving Avatar. So much pressure on Tenzins shoulders.
I think that’s why ang only took him on those trips because he saw being his legacy as a burden for his children and he didn’t want that to crush all of them but tenzin being an air bender made it unavoidable for him
That really was a thing that went unexplored, that I would have loved it if it did. As the Avatar Cycle rolls, each life is connected but different, each their own but still compensating for what they (in a past life) considered a failure or deficiency. Check this out, because it's neat: The cycle goes Wind→Water→Earth→Fire→ wash rinse repeat. Avatar Roku (the fire nation Avatar before Aang) lived a life plagued with the fear of what would happen to the world if he didn't take his position in it seriously, and fully dedicated himself to being the Avatar, because the Avatar before him didn't take their Avatar duties seriously and more or less died leaving the world veering out of balance to what would happen under Roku. Roku let the fire nation go out of control because he neglected it and his friend, valued his friend too late and died because of it, after spending his entire life prioritizing being the Avatar for the world when the fire nation (his friend) needed him more and he didn't see it. In turn, Aang literally ran from his Avatar duties and prioritized friendship and helping people more than being the Avatar. He was always uncomfortable with it, and his pressure as the last air bender couldn't be denied. He had a *NATION* to rebuild! So when he finally had an air bender child, after a non bender and a water bender, it's sad but understandable that he would pour his focus into this one kid who would inherit all the pressure of Aang's failure. I bet he wished he could spend time with his other kids, or ease up on Tenzin, but he couldn't. He knew what he was doing, and regretted it. That's why Korra was roaring to be the Avatar, and surprised me that she didn't eventually either back seat it to focus on a family, or strike a balance between the two, in compensation for Aang (bonus: all her kids are air benders, the element she struggled with the most)
@@shewolfinubaka Yeah exactly. Aang witnessed the end of the nomad culture as he knew it. I see a lot of people acting like it's strange that Aang would be a 'deadbeat dad' to his other kids in that he neglected them more than Tenzin, but it's pretty obvious why given that only one of them was an airbender while he was still alive
I don’t know if it had to do with JK Simmons voicing him or not but his character development throughout the four books made Tenzin one of my favs in Korra
I always felt the reason that tenzin couldn’t connect with the spirits was because of the immense pressure on him due to be the hope to preserve air culture.
He never really could relax as he told Korra to when meditating. The pressure was always crushing him. "The fate of the world rests on your shoulders," he told himself in the fog of lost souls.
“For the first time in over 200 years two airbending masters would duke it out.” Yeah zaheer is not an airbending master and seeing tenzin school him should be confirmation.
For sure. I really don't care for Legend of Korra at all, but that scene made me nearly tear up. It was like seeing Aang again after so many years, made me feel young again.
Agreed! When Tenzin visualizes him at 10:52 thereabouts, Aaang sounds so monotone, almost robotic. Maybe it can be argued that the vision is just how Tenzin remembers/thinks of his Father, but still.
@@storytsunamicause he only appeared when someone needed guidance. His son was having a mental breakdown and Korra was about to commit suicide. So there was really no time for jokes
7:11 so actually Tenzin is reflecting his own mistakes from a younger Tenzin onto a new airbender so he doesnt go the path Tenzin once did, but compliments him about his technique.
I mean thats literally what an airbender is supposed to do, take the path of least resistance. If you can't keep up in the fight then you have to run until the enemy either stops attacking you or until you can turn the tides. That is exactly what zaheer does throughout the series. Aang also did this when he only knew airbending and a little bit of waterbending. But yes, zaheer cant be compared to tenzin.
@@cersan445 True I 100% agree, but Zaheers technique is way more aggressive towards weakers targets, almost like a firebenders style of aggression and attack. You dont really see him use that technique against someone his match or thats better than him. I guess thats probably down to him not being a native airbender and only basing his moves of what he has studied over the years rather than learnt the correct airbender discipline, state of mind, technique etc. Personally I would of liked to see more of him VS Tenzin one to one.
@@obadd3634 That definetly makes sense. Since Zaheer knew that tenzin was better then him during the fight, zaheer had to run away until he could get the sniper shot from p'li. Also I would have loved to see tenzin fighting zaheer when zaheer couldd fly. I bet that tenzin would struggle in a 1v1 against zaheer at his best.
Of course tenzin is better,he is master and has been training for his whole life,zaheer only knew airbending for few weeks and still was able to keep up even a little!
Zaheer doesn't really just "run away". If you look at the fights he avoids, he does so because he's smart/intelligent and overly-confident. He's, literally speaking, an evil version of a wise airbender.
One legit black belt martial artist can outdo another legit black belt. That doesn’t make the other less of a master. There’s always levels when it comes to skill. Even among masters.
@@georgeadindu4443 I get what you’re saying but I agree with OP. Zaheer is decent in combat but I wouldn’t consider him a master air bender. He doesn’t really use air bender techniques (spiral movements) when he fights. He may have studied air nomad culture & philosophy but he clearly didn’t study bending. Which makes sense since he originally wasn’t a bender. Also what I’ve noticed is it seems airbending comes a lot easier to most people than the other elements. All the new airbenders easily started bending except Korra
When Zaheer unlocked the flight ability, then he can be called master I guess. Before flight, Zaheer is just a regular air bender. But after the flight, he is a whole new level.
As George mentioned, Zaheer was already a master. Even more when he gained the ability to fly. He didn't have Tenzin's combat experience as an air bender, nor he was an air bender from birth. But Zaheer was far suprerior to anyone, excepting Tenzin. So yeah, he was a master. Just not a full fledged one. He could have been the best air bender in the world, given a full redemption arc. Not only that, but I'm sure Zaheer had the potential to learn even more forgotten air bending techniques.
9:01 As long as Tenzin is aware of an opponent, he can dodge or parry any direct attack, no matter how outnumbered he is. Cept for gimmicky attackers like P'Li, Tarrlok and those Equalist tasers.
Tenzin's Air Wheel is probably my favorite air bending move. I was really impressed when I first saw it and to be honest I liked it more than Aang's air scooter (no offense to air scooter fans 😅)
@@TheRealHerbaSchmurba You mean she accidentally caused airbenders to reappear. In fact, was it Korra that did it, or harmonic convergence that did it? It was a super spiritual event after all.

I thought I should put off your training in order to uphold his legacy, but you are his legacy. You may stay & train Airbending with me. Republic City needs its Avatar once again - Tenzin 🌪*
Actually. Zaheer has been studying and "training" for years. While it took weeks for the other air benders to get control, Zaheer had full control when he found out he had airbending. So he could be considered a master without tattoos
I wish Aang gave as much attention to Kya and Bumi as he did to Tenzin. He focused too much on the ability to airbend. Kya and Bumi are as much of an air nomad as Tenzin is.
yeah not only did Kya and Bumi feel neglected by their dad but Tenzin felt enormous pressure on his shoulders as well, pressure that would only be somewhat lifted when he and Pema had children
Aang couldn't spend more time with Kya and Bumi, sadly. Tenzin was also the last airbender, so Aang had to properly teach him everything he knew, which took time. It took Tenzin 5 more years to become an airbending master (at 17yo) compared to Aang (at 12yo). Also, Aang's health degraded drastically over time, given his 100 years spent in Avatar state in the iceberg. You also have to take into account how many years Aang was actually able to teach Tenzin, he was probably in his mid 30's when he had Tenzin and Aang lived only to 66. As someone said, it's realistic for Aang to give almost all of his time in order to teach Tenzin and have an actual legacy continued.
I am surprised to see the comic 'Clearing the Air' in this bending evolution video. I think they waited for this comic to be released, so that they could add more info.
love that tenzin inherited katara and sokkas temper, seeing him fight also makes me understand why the fire nation relied on a overpowered comet to wipe them out
Tbh at that point all three were hardly trying, they was just trying get Tenzin to surrender and make him tell where Korra is. If they was serious both Ming and Ghazan would of attacked instantly with full power.
@@BiG-JuPO1O1 Even after being badly beaten and surrounded by all three ready to attack Tenzin still outskilled them and blew Ghazan and Zaheer away faster than they could react.
3:12 “When you meet resistance, you must switch directions.” Kora’s approach Push through the resistance and learn nothing. “MAYBE THE REASON I HAVEN’T LEARNED ANYTHING IS BECAUSE YOU’RE A BAD TEACHER!!”
I love how he Wasn’t the perfect teacher. He had a lot to give but he had a lot to learn as well. Korra and Tenzin call relate to the responsibility of being put on your shoulders from a young age and I like that they allowed him to progress along with her instead of having him be purely stoic. He inherited there bending from aang and that temper from katara.💀
Calling Zaheer an Airbending Master is a bit of a stretch. Tenzin is a Master and Zaheer is more of Adept then Master. It’s just the way he uses his Airbending on other benders in such an offense heavy way that it caught others off guard.
I'd regard Zaheer as a prodigy. His prior understanding of the movements and the philosophies made airbending come easy to him. Given some more years perhaps he could have been the best airbender. But the fight with Tenzin really shows what a 'master' brings to the table. Talent can only take you so far against decades of dedicated practice.
agree, he was just very knowledgeable on lost airbender philosophies i would argue that hed be closer to master rank after he got imprisoned(book 4 when korra tried to confront zaheer)
Yeah, tenzin didn't had his tattoos at 17 while aang had them when he was 12 but tenzin's pace was the common one. Aang was the youngest airbender to become a master and get his tatoos in history by a lot
If you look at Zaheer's movement it's much more militaristic compared to Tenzin, like I think Zaheers Airbendering was based more on MMA than traditional airbending form
Yeah I agree especially without using the staff Zaheers movements seem more “fixed” instead of spiral like Tenzin teaches Korra. But I guess that makes sense. Zaheer studied air nomad culture & philosophy not necessarily air bending since he wasn’t originally a bender so he improvised
He is the best airbender to ever live considering he learned to fly unassisted, one of the most powerful skills there is. You don't see tenzin flying around like that
@@TallyingTines that would be super cool. You could argue Tenzin's children could potentially inherit any of the 4 elements, since Tenzin is half watertribe half airnomad, and Pema is from Earth kingdom decent but likely also has fire nation in her since Jinora's eyes are brown. However, it is known that everyone born in the air nation is a bender due to their spiritual connectedness, so it makes sense that Tenzin's children are all airbenders since he is an airbender and Pema is a nonbender. Would be cool to see though!
I don't think that "agressive" is the correct word. I would say "able to do the necessary to protect", because even the world in dangerous, Aang never fight against his opponents to knock out them, but Tenzin was able to do this to protect Korra and his Family.
Zaheer wasn't a master, he just knew how to use airbending properly. Besides, a master airbender needs to have the tattoos to be an official master airbender
@BB Interview Bah, hogwash. Let him return to his little shack of mysteries in the woods and sell more horiffically marked-up trinkets to dumb tourists
Aang: 10:49 Tenzin: love you too dad I would have enjoyed the series if it focused on tenzin and his search for the new avatar the emotions of his dads passing and at the end some great finale showing korra as the new avatar taking her first baby steps also clumsily earthbending and firebending
It's so funny seeing how Zaheer runs away for most of his one on one with Tenzin and can't connect a single hit XD Tenzin on the other hand hits Zaheer several times and has the fight in his pocket. Too bad P'Li and the others went to Zaheer's rescue X( I remember when I was younger I wanted to be an airbender because of Aang. Older I wanted to be an airbender because of Tenzin😎 👏👏👏👏👏
Tenzin inherited his airbending abilities from Aang. As for his temper, he got it from Katara...
And maybe a bit from Sokka
@@Sly-Moose I just realized that Sokka is Tenzin's uncle. Never thought about that.

8:04 there's only one master, Zaheer just has talent, he lacks the years of training Tenzin has
Actually. Zaheer has been studying and "training" for years. While it took weeks for the other air benders to get control, Zaheer had full control when he found out he had airbending. So he could be considered a master without tattoos
The closest we’ll ever get to seeing Aang in his prime
Lets be honest Kai is pretty much doing what Aang would do without his airbending morals as a kid
I wish Aang gave as much attention to Kya and Bumi as he did to Tenzin. He focused too much on the ability to airbend. Kya and Bumi are as much of an air nomad as Tenzin is.
yeah not only did Kya and Bumi feel neglected by their dad but Tenzin felt enormous pressure on his shoulders as well, pressure that would only be somewhat lifted when he and Pema had children
Agreed. But I think it’s a realistic take on how a lot of families actually treat their children
Writing wise, is better this way, it's realistic, makes sense for Aang as a character and also gives depth to his character
Well Kya said she was never interested in those air bending gurus so he taught them the history
Aang couldn't spend more time with Kya and Bumi, sadly. Tenzin was also the last airbender, so Aang had to properly teach him everything he knew, which took time. It took Tenzin 5 more years to become an airbending master (at 17yo) compared to Aang (at 12yo). Also, Aang's health degraded drastically over time, given his 100 years spent in Avatar state in the iceberg. You also have to take into account how many years Aang was actually able to teach Tenzin, he was probably in his mid 30's when he had Tenzin and Aang lived only to 66. As someone said, it's realistic for Aang to give almost all of his time in order to teach Tenzin and have an actual legacy continued.
Tenzin is such a cool character! One of my favorites. I love how he fights!
If P’Li didn’t help Tenzin would’ve smoked the other 3 in the red lotus
Yes... P'Li just simply is out of his ... range of sense
@@FahrizalSurya facts
@@FahrizalSurya the combustion thing presumably moves at the speed of sound which makes it impossible to react to by sensing air waves.

@@sclifton8709 You claim this and yet you don't even know for sure if he would have beaten zaheer (before he unlocked flight) in the 1 vs 1
6:34 is still one of the best moments in the entire show honestly its never failed to get a laugh outta me
Cool that Shikamaru became a air student
The Shikamaru comment I searched for.
Yeah finally
@@GamebertYT same
I am surprised to see the comic 'Clearing the Air' in this bending evolution video. I think they waited for this comic to be released, so that they could add more info.
Most likely
That explained where the comic came from.
Im glad they included it, they shouldve mentioned where the comic was from so everyone would stop asking for it though
I hate that comic
@@aangistheworst2638 Why
Tenzin might have felt the pressure to keep his peoples’ legacy alive, but he did it very well.
4:35 Jinnora inherited her gruncle Sokka's sass.
love that tenzin inherited katara and sokkas temper, seeing him fight also makes me understand why the fire nation relied on a overpowered comet to wipe them out
If zaheer play fair,tenzin will beat him for sure
But seeing he can beat minghua,ghazan,and zaheer at once shows that he is really powerful
Tbh at that point all three were hardly trying, they was just trying get Tenzin to surrender and make him tell where Korra is. If they was serious both Ming and Ghazan would of attacked instantly with full power.
@@BiG-JuPO1O1 Even after being badly beaten and surrounded by all three ready to attack Tenzin still outskilled them and blew Ghazan and Zaheer away faster than they could react.
Ya that 1v3 would have been interesting. Sparky Sparky Boom Girl was the reason he lost like he did.
3:12
“When you meet resistance, you must switch directions.”
Kora’s approach
Push through the resistance and learn nothing.
“MAYBE THE REASON I HAVEN’T LEARNED ANYTHING IS BECAUSE YOU’RE A BAD TEACHER!!”
6:51 Tenzin let him get like 3 hits in before telling him to stop
He deserve it
All he wanted...
were pictures of Spider-Man

Ayo I see u everywhere
Then Google them kid
@@Alistana yeah cuz he has no life and neither do u
@@yopapi3740 chill brother u having a bad day or smtg?
Who else wishes Tenzin had a connection to the spirits?
Edit: Can you please do Bolin 🌋?
Edit 2 on Oct 29: Thank you! ✅
me
It would be cool too, but Tenzin is already pretty much perfect. Can't be too spiritual too.
@@ChauNyan ok point taken. Hey I Meelo-ed myself lol 😄!
This is my first time I see tenzin in his teenage years and he didn't get a tattoo This was weird
Most airbenders don't get their tattoos as early as Aang and Jinora did
True
I love how he Wasn’t the perfect teacher. He had a lot to give but he had a lot to learn as well. Korra and Tenzin call relate to the responsibility of being put on your shoulders from a young age and I like that they allowed him to progress along with her instead of having him be purely stoic. He inherited there bending from aang and that temper from katara.💀
I just love this channel. No other words can describe the true joy that I feel for this channel
Calling Zaheer an Airbending Master is a bit of a stretch. Tenzin is a Master and Zaheer is more of Adept then Master. It’s just the way he uses his Airbending on other benders in such an offense heavy way that it caught others off guard.
I'd regard Zaheer as a prodigy. His prior understanding of the movements and the philosophies made airbending come easy to him. Given some more years perhaps he could have been the best airbender. But the fight with Tenzin really shows what a 'master' brings to the table. Talent can only take you so far against decades of dedicated practice.
@@DivingDog0 agreed. Def a prodigy and would easily reach master level in a few years. But at the time of the series he wasnt yet.
8:00 Correction, Zaheer was never an actual air-bending master, even tho he was extremely powerful.
This character is underrated. I love this guy
Fr
Without doubt, Tenzin really gets to the heart of everyone as a great master with a powerful determination
Zaheer wasn't really a master unless you count the spiritual side. He was unique though
he could literally fly
@@jupidupidraws5988 but he couldn't beat Tenzin he was masterful in some regards especially spiritually but not overall
He was a complete master after he learned flying.
agree, he was just very knowledgeable on lost airbender philosophies
i would argue that hed be closer to master rank after he got imprisoned(book 4 when korra tried to confront zaheer)
Yeah, tenzin didn't had his tattoos at 17 while aang had them when he was 12 but tenzin's pace was the common one. Aang was the youngest airbender to become a master and get his tatoos in history by a lot
And then Jinora came along and beat him by a year 💀
Tenzin: "You must promise to me your teenage years won't be like this!"
Jinora: "I will make no such promises."'
9:02 I just wish they made this 1v3 fight a little longer. I wanted to see Tenzin get some more hits in before P'li got involved.
6:21-Aang:Son,air benders are NOT soldiers!
If you look at Zaheer's movement it's much more militaristic compared to Tenzin, like I think Zaheers Airbendering was based more on MMA than traditional airbending form
Yeah I agree especially without using the staff Zaheers movements seem more “fixed” instead of spiral like Tenzin teaches Korra. But I guess that makes sense. Zaheer studied air nomad culture & philosophy not necessarily air bending since he wasn’t originally a bender so he improvised
I get goosebumps while watching this.
The dislikes are of those peoples who dont like tenzin's six pax😂
I need to know more about Kya(Aang and Katara’s daughter)
Yeah she's strong she drove away Zaheer and kya is also katara's mother's name
@@trexz3720 I hate avatar
I hate what
@@aangistheworst2638
Then why are you watching this video IMAO
@@trexz3720 yep she was named after her grandmother(Katara and Sokka's mother and Hakoda's first wife)
Looks like Aang's title of being The Last Airbender was also given to Tenzin until he had children
Bro!!!!
"For the first time in almost 200 years two airbending masters are duke it out"
Yeah, no Zaheer is not a master.
He is the best airbender to ever live considering he learned to fly unassisted, one of the most powerful skills there is. You don't see tenzin flying around like that
Ever since he inherited his father bending he Passed it along to his kids Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo 🌪 but Rohan is unknown
For pema sakes lets hope not
@@rtgedits1865 They confirmed Rohan was an airbender before he was even born. I think it was Katara who could tell.
@@MatLPlaysVoDs yes she did
I'd really love to see Rohan becoming a waterbender, inheriting Katara's genes
@@TallyingTines that would be super cool. You could argue Tenzin's children could potentially inherit any of the 4 elements, since Tenzin is half watertribe half airnomad, and Pema is from Earth kingdom decent but likely also has fire nation in her since Jinora's eyes are brown. However, it is known that everyone born in the air nation is a bender due to their spiritual connectedness, so it makes sense that Tenzin's children are all airbenders since he is an airbender and Pema is a nonbender. Would be cool to see though!
8:40 facts ppl airbending is dangerous it took 3 guys to beat an airbending master
Being a master to the level of tenzin of any of the 4 elements is dangerous.

He's gonna start ranting about Lemons any second now.
An Airbender with the heart of an Earthbender. As long as I'm breathing, it's not over. I loved Tenzin, best character in Korra by far.
Tenzin is like Aang, but more aggressive. Oh and he isn't the avatar
I don't think that "agressive" is the correct word. I would say "able to do the necessary to protect", because even the world in dangerous, Aang never fight against his opponents to knock out them, but Tenzin was able to do this to protect Korra and his Family.
@@mafra2602the word I meant to say was more offensive.

Zaheer wasn't a master, he just knew how to use airbending properly. Besides, a master airbender needs to have the tattoos to be an official master airbender
He always reminds me of young Aang
You gotta hand it to Tenzin, he had to train the most hot-headed Avatar in history
Did y'all see korra scratching too? 😅
3:25
😂😂
Perfect video, congrats for the high quality and passion 💛💛
Tenzin is a real air bending master i respect him very much
1:12 the dude with the black hair looks so much like Shikamaru from Naruto
i know right
I just realized that tenzins voice actor also does omniman, cool :D
Get him pictures of Spiderman, NOW! Stat, I say!
@BB Interview Bah, hogwash. Let him return to his little shack of mysteries in the woods and sell more horiffically marked-up trinkets to dumb tourists
THINK, KORRA, THINK
Love the expressive narration
I don’t know why but I love tenzin and he’s fight with zaheer is the best of korra
Haha😂
And the captions say "I am tension
10:04 jinora really look a lot like aang
Ikr 😍
Watching him use the tried and true air bending methods against Zaheer’s fighting style was one of the best scenes in the show
I would love to see a video about Tenzin's older sister, Kya.
"break down the son of avatar aang"
red lotus: and i took that literally
Tenzin: an Airbender never attacks a defenseless aponent
Zaheer: attacks tenzin while he's defenseless
He’s an anarchist who studies the Air Nation but doesn’t follow their rules.
Aang: 10:49
Tenzin: love you too dad
I would have enjoyed the series if it focused on tenzin and his search for the new avatar the emotions of his dads passing and at the end some great finale showing korra as the new avatar taking her first baby steps also clumsily earthbending and firebending
If no one else will say it, I will:
Younger Tenzin looks like Zuko.
fr
Wait a minute-
He definitely doesn't.
He looks like Ezra from rebels
@@kridens6536 Kinda, yeah
It's so funny seeing how Zaheer runs away for most of his one on one with Tenzin and can't connect a single hit XD
Tenzin on the other hand hits Zaheer several times and has the fight in his pocket. Too bad P'Li and the others went to Zaheer's rescue X(
I remember when I was younger I wanted to be an airbender because of Aang. Older I wanted to be an airbender because of Tenzin😎
👏👏👏👏👏
In my opinion airbending is the best bending style
Remember that girl who said Aang had big ears, well his son sure does have quite large ears
meng haha
When I first saw Jinora after getting her tattoos and being the spitting image of Aang, I legitimately teared up.
