[@15jewjew]

Let's not forget the red lotus was already created before Zaheer joined and P'li was a weapon for a war lord; which is why she's with Zaheer. He helped her escape.

[@lawrencewalker5534]

@15jewjew agreed also remember what tenzin about the avatar learning how to bend. Using this knowledge we can assume that due to zaheer,s airbender like personality and his ememnce spirituality and study of airbender culture that when he gained airbending it came easy to him because despite just gaining these abilities he already had the mindset and personality of an airbender

[@walkinthelight8740]

Right I'm not being Is sarcastic

[@eglol]

Yeah

[@samfisher6606]

It always seemed to me that Zaheer studied Airbending culture so much that he was basically an airbender, only without the actual bending. He studied airbending as just a martial art without the magic, like in the real world. That's why he picked it up so quickly.

[@Sol-Amar]

I like this take. It aligns with the original "spiritual-work-ethic" of unlocking bending from ATLA.

Also Zaheer did all of his studying and had all of his obsession, but was clearly losing the 1-v-1 with Tenzin... y'know... the actual airbending master

[@harshsubramaniam1078]

Here is what I believe, Zaheer is an orphan raised by air acolytes in the southern air temple. He was Avatar Aang's star pupil, so Kya recognised him even though she didn't participate in the battle against the Red Lotus when Korra was three. He soon became obsessed with Guru Laghima's teachings but in a twisted way. He saw how people like Yakone run rampant in republic city and how he used his power to terrify the masses and How 99% world's power is with one person. This is his turn into anarchy. His beliefs twisted he then met Xai Bao the founder of the Red Lotus who supported his Ideology and helped him form a team to capture the next avatar and raise her according to their beliefs.

Apart of Yakone's part, i can say its pretty realistic

[@dannylostsouls6108]

1. Tenzin wasn't the first born, he was actually the third. 2. Zaheer never created the red Lotus, Zaheer emphatically stated that the red Lotus was created by a man called Aiwei after he thought that the white lotus had failed by comming out publicly to serve the avatar. 3. Zaheer also stated that both he and Tarloq found out about Raava and Vatsu together. I really doubt Zaheer is Aangs secret son. The best theory would be that he was just a man in a powerful dark organization with access to a huge arrray of knowledge. Plus he has a natural commection to the spirit world and also plenty of time on his hands to practise airbending in his prison.

Zaheer, struck with grief and resentment, travelled back to the earth kingdom. On the way, he met a man named Xai Bao on a ship, and learned that their ideology were the same and joined Xai Bao and got some partners to ambush the avatar.

[@wordsmith6154]

I think the Air Acolyte theory is more likely, but I'm not so sure about the exile. I think he started as an Air Acolyte and then joined the Red Lotus. Maybe not out of resentment to Aang but because of him taking his teachings the wrong way. He probably joined the Air Acolytes as a young teen (maybe 15-16?) and then left for the Red Lotus when he was 18 or 19. He might've been a close student of Aang's and he taught him some things about the world, like how not all of the world's leaders are good people like Zuko. Zaheer knew that Avatar Aang and the Air Acolytes in general wouldn't accept if he decided to take a violent approach, but he heard about the Red Lotus's beliefs and saw an alignment. So he left the Air Acolytes to then join the Red Lotus.

Zaheer was a good fighter in general. Another popular theory is that he was always a competent fighter and just incorporated the air bending. Rewatching the way he fights really makes it seem like it was just his general martial arts enhanced by gusts of air.

[@magneticanomaly810]

Terrrrrrrrible theory. The creators already said Zaheer was instantly good at airbending because he was a martial arts master. He was able to use his skills as a fighter to bend air in a more aggressive manner. Also, as community and family oriented as the water tribes are Katara would never have allowed Aang to alienate their first child from the family. And I just could never buy into the idea that Aang had a child with someone else. He got the woman he wanted, even struggled with the idea she might not feel the same toward him a few times, that and being a monk and all that. No. Zaheer is definitely not Aang's kid

[@rylymbona]

I think Zaheer looks young, even younger than Bumi to be Aang's first son. But yeah, the theory about him studying under Aang would not surprise me if it was true.

If Zaheer’s bending was taken away at the first place, I don’t think Harmonic Convergence would restore it, I remember some benders(Amon’s victims) in book 3 still needed Korra for them to bend again.

[@farhansaber9330]

I just feel like the timeline doesn't add up. If Zaheer is to be the first born son of Aang, born before Bumi and Tenzin and Kya, he would have to be really old. And if he was an air acolyte, again, either really really old or runs the risk of Tenzin and Kya and Bumi especially at the very least knowing his past.

[@andrerodney454]

I feel like the second theory makes more sense than the first one. Zaheer being an air acolyte who believed the avatar was selfishly holding on to power is much more plausible than Kataang or just Aang straight up abandoning their child. Especially with how they had to live without their parents. The only problem is that it should've been a fact from the get go. If this theory was to be confirmed then that meant that nobody knew who Zaheer was before the red lotus, despite being one of aang's students

I don’t think Aang’s gonna cheat that easily, it’s too dark for an airbender. Not a spiritual thing to do, so if he did cheat I think he would no longer be able to airbend. Airebending is an element of freedom, him going dark would imprison him with guilt based on his personality. I know Zaheer did worse but his principles are twisted, making him guiltless.

[@christythehedgehog169]

Yeah only thing off about this theroy is that the red lotus was already started a few years after the white lotus it is litterally mentioned in korra how they were original founded before zaheer's group, they mention that zaheer wanted to kidnapp korra when she was three an tried an failed but that plan was years in the making as he stated.

From my understanding the air nomads were against any form of force... Even their societal structure did not practice force, only protection of one's Own Way of Life. However government is a form of force... Zahir took the concept that none should be forced in a way to mean that he should forcibly remove those that use force... That is where he differs from the air nomads... They would probably agree with his goals but disagree with his methods from my understanding of their culture.

The first theory is dumber than rocks and i won't pretend to entertain it. The second theory is more plausible but won't work either. Zaheer would have been way too young to study as an acolyte under Aang, plus, he joined the red lotus at a young age. The red lotus split from the white lotus, and it was founded by some guy whose name I can't remember. Korra was 70 years after Aang, so by the time the red lotus was created, Aang would have been too old anyway and would be less likely to have a secret child. I think a more plausible theory is that one of the air acolytes split off and taught their son (Zaheer) everything about airbending and then Zaheer joined the red lotus after that.

How did the Kyoshi warriors “break” Aang's loyalty to Katara? Actually quite simple: Reason (lack of aribenders) and appeal to Air Nomad traditions.

1. Zaheer was not born with bending. He only got it during harmonic convergence. So the idea of Zaheer being kept hidden because he was the Aang's first born airbender is a bit silly because no he was not an airbender before. 2. Zaheer definitely was a FAN of the air nomad culture; he wasn't born into it. He probably has past trauma regarding tyrannical rulers/lawmakers which made him so connected with what Guru Laghima said, and what the air nomad culture stood for: peace, freedom, and spirituality. Zaheer studied all these things, and probably airbending moves too (even though he wasn't a bender), because he just felt so drawn to it. The only problem is, he took his idea of peace and freedom too far to anarchy. 3. Tenzin was the YOUNGEST of all the children that Aang had.

If energy bending theoretically *could* just flat out give bending to anyone, it would break the bending system as a whole, so that’s an obvious no.

From the video description, "Aang has a secret son in avatar the last airbender / legend of korra and I can prove it." Sorry, The Avatarist, you lied, and failed absolutely in proving that Zaheer was Aang's son, in fact you shot that theory down within a few seconds of starting to describe it. You called Tenzin Aangs first son, that suggests you know very little about Aang's family, Tenzin was Aang's youngest child, the firstborn son was Bumi, who seemed to be about a decade older than Tenzin, so Aang would have been in his early 20s when Bumi was born. Your ideas would put Zaheer in his mid to late 40s when he first tried kidnapping Korra and late 50s or early 60s when the Red Lotus escaped, to me, he'd seemed of similar age to Tenzin, and younger than Bumi. The second theory is much more plausible but I don't like the idea of Aang refusing to energybend Zaheer into an airbender, if Aang could energybend airbending into non benders, when Korra picked up Tenzin and his children would not have been the only Airbenders, Aang would have gifted bending to the top air acolytes, perhaps after 5 years service and proving to be of the correct attitude. As Zuko said when Korra asked him for advice, the rebirth of the Air Nomads was Aangs greatest wish. I think it is safe to assume if Aang thought he could bring airbending back with energy bending Aang would have done so. I think a better theory would be Zaheer learned everything he could about airbending, practising airbending kata/forms (perhaps even under Aang's supervision), which is why he already knew how to airbend well enough that he was able to (despite being massively outclassed) hold Tenzin off for 20 seconds, not long after harmonic convergence gave him the power.
