Also, having knowledge of how Chi flows seems to be more or less exclusive to the Air Nomads. Air nomads' tattoos are representative of the chi pathways. No other culture really focused on chi in that way. It would make sense that, while Ty Lee's air nomad ancestor couldn't teach air bending, they passed on the knowledge of chi. (If i am wrong please correct me! I haven't read everything!)

[@dennapin0]

Her fighting style isn’t the only thing that resembles air bending. She literally did a handstand on her fingertips. It’s as if gravity doesn’t apply to her, and in the show we see Aang do similar things that seem to “defy gravity”. I’m convinced she’s a descendant of one of the surviving air nomads

[@aaronparry2636]

Chi knowledge wasn't exclusive to the air nation. Water healing is also based on chi flow. Combining healing with chi blocking technique is actually how Aman was able to take bending away in LoK

[@SonofSethoitae]

Nah, the Northern Water Tribe seems to have knowledge of Chi as well. Their healing is based on chi paths in the body, you can see it in the water bending school Katara goes to in season 1

lightning redirection is also kind of a chi thing more related to the water nation..... fire in itself is literally extension of their chi so its safe to assume that chi isn't exclusive to air

If there were other air nomads around I'm sure they would have revealed themselves once they got word that Aang/the Avatar had returned or after hearing the war was over with Ozai being defeated.

[@giannism6875]

Who knows maybe the only surviving air nomads were so traumatized by the fire nation genocide, that they decided to live separate from the known world in order to keep their culture and teachings alive no matter what. They wouldn’t reveal themselves because they can’t trust the world. Also a large part of air nomad teaching was detachment from the world

[@cappypappy]

It's hard to tell because from that theory, air nomads chose to hide their identity. And since it has been a 100 years, most of the refugees were already old and passed away, plus they had the options to not talking about their past to their own spouses and decendants.

[@rivercat26]

The only reason bumi was alive to see aang is because he was aang's age at the start of the war, a child, and an earthbender (with kiyoshi we learn that there are earth bending techniques to slow aging)

[@lovetobe6118]

Even when Aang was revealed earth benders were still being taken away by the fire nation. Plus if they survived they survived Because they were good at not revealing themselves even to their children. If they were still alive by the time they heard of Aang I would think it was another trap. I think that unless you specifically taught your children to bend they would never learn and know.

[@darkessraven]

Kyoshi's mother also is an example as she became corrupted to the point of airbending with fans and giving birth to Kyoshi who is an earthbender avatar despite being an airbender (making Kyoshi the only known avatar born from parents of two different nations)

[@MrWilson812]

I've always thought there were probably other Airbenders that Aang probably just never met. In the same way that swamp benders aren't part of the water tribes, and the sun warriors are separate from the fire nation, there are probably Airbenders not affiliated with the Air Nomads.

[@shadowwriter4538]

[@katiepetch6472]

​@Henry Okoro okay honestly I follow because they would have been able to take air with them when leaving and sure they would have to be bending the whole time but I think they could figure out a system to take breaks and such. BUT the caveat is they would have to let go of all attachments (thats how zaheer did it after his gf died bc he had no attachments anymore)and know about the teachings of the first flying air bender (I forgot his name)

[@Seetiyan]

This is actually EXACTLY the theory I was thinking ever since the "new" airbenders appeared in LOK. Descendents of escaped air nomads, or simply random descendents - since they were nomads, I'm sure they left a few illegitimate kids here and there, who eventually blended into the local population.

[@williethomas5116]

Agreed. I always though TyLee was a descendant of airbenders because of how she moved and how she fit in with the Keyoshi Warriors. Kyoshi mother was an airbender. Which was why she could use fans (thus airbending) to amplify her earthbending.

[@Hazabazalaza]

You’re all pretty dumb cos the “new” airbenders were angs son and grandchildren and why would Tylee be an air bender the way she moved like that is because she was in a circus and was a martial arts expert.

[@Hazabazalaza]

And if ur talking about the random airbenders that’s because Korea opened the spirit portal and people learned it from the descendants but it wasn’t open before

[@cschultz235]

If I can elaborate, it’s possible that because of Jinora’s unique connection with the light that after reviving Raava there must have been a spiritual reaction combined with the amplification of the portals being left open that her air bending was able to be passed on to the new benders. To relate back to the video, Jinora was the key to unlocking her descendants airbending abilities that were left hidden throughout the earth kingdom.

[@Mossyifer]

@@cschultz235 it’s more likely that people actually gain bending every 10,000 years (harmonic convergence).

Same thing this harmonic convergence with korra gave random people air bending in order to restore the balance, as airbending got extinct

From what I remember, I thought it was harmonic convergence that re-awoken the already latent "air bending" ability of the new air nomads.

my theory is that aang’s old friend Kuzon helped save/ hide an air nomad refugee from the war in the fire nation, specifically from the western air temple as they east and west were all female and the western air temple was very close to the sun warriors and fire nation in general, also as we see in korra there were fire nation acolytes who hid air culture and teachings like breeding bison. Kuzon was one of aangs best friends and so i think it’s safe to assume when war broke out he was NOT in support of killing air nomads. he probably helped a bunch but fell in love with one and had a family, since kuzon was friends with aang also he could have been an elite member of fire nation society as aang was the avatar, even tho he didn’t know it the leaders did when he was a baby and he traveled with gyatso who was also friends with roku, who was of upper society. i think they were able to hide it well enough and keep enough of the history under wraps but within the family hence why ty lee knows chi blocking, i think she fixed up her acrobatics in the circus but i beleive she knew chi blocking since being a child and that’s why in flashbacks she would do back flips and stuff, her family teaching her self defense in secret but hiding it as just a gymnastics hobby.

[@antihero627]

I always knew Ty Lee was too similar to Aang to not have a connection to the Air Nomads, she's totally an Airbender descendant, her sisters too. That theory of some Airbenders hiding out in Earth Kingdom makes sense too, it's just like the Saiyans from DBZ there's gotta be more than one that escaped extinction.

[@Gracie0918]

Maybe the fisherman in the episode "The Storm" was a surviving Air Nomad that's why he seemed to be personally mad at Aang for running away, blaming him for the state of the world.

[@sephryn6112]

Wouldn't an air nomad explicitly not be mad? That's kind of their whole thing

[@DigiPen92]

Sephryn True, but the Fisherman isn't like a 100 years old like King Bumi nor Monk Gyaso, he could have been a grandson of the surviving Air Nomad.

[@lordvenjix3757]

This could be true, But no other air benders were shown in ATLA and TLOK (Except The Airbenders came after Harmonic Convergence and only in Flashbacks )

[@michaelwardjr7441]

Yeah, you did miss something. The young air benders; they had air bison of their own. As you can recall in the dream sequence. They may be nomads, I'm certain they did take precautions and had a secret temple. I'm guessing underground; they asked the Earth benders to construct it a hidden sanctuary. For light some of the earth benders are crystal benders; use piezo mechanics to create light and cleverly designed air intakes. Only one master survived to hide, teach and protect them.

[@yvettemontalvo7991]

I think your theory is spot on! I have often wondered myself how could no air nomads survived when they are in fact nomads and had flying bison. In the comic and in Legend of Korra they touch on how not all bison where eliminated and how they were secretly raising them, so if thats the case "how could they hide huge bison and yet air nomads couldnt?". As humans wouldnt it be easier for them to blend in with other nations? So yeah, I agree. Being that the series was called "the last airbender" they couldnt just show more of them, but as you pointed out there is no real evidence that they were all wiped out or that they were not able to just blend in with other nations. There's also a plot hole on how the new air benders in LOK came to be. Harmonic conversion did not create benders, it was the lion turtles that had the ability to release or block (when they took their powers back) their CHI. Another way could be how Guru Pathik helped aang unblock his Chi to become the avatar. So it would make more sense that a Guru like the onion soup eating Pathik (bleh) lol could help future air benders unblock their Chi, aka air bending.

[@doubleac5561]

I have a theory, the reason Bolin can lavabend is because he's the child of a earthbender and firebender. A bit of firebending came over that allows him to heat up the earth he bends.

[@Loobster356]

yeeees, that's why he couldn't bend metal bc bender has to feel peaces of earth in it and he wasn't a pureblood earthbender and maybe that's why he couldn't feel it fully. great theory

wait... if Opal became an airbender after the Harmonic Convergence, does that mean either the Beifong family or Bataar Senior has some air nomad heritage?

[@Matthieux971]

I actually agree to this theory. To begin with i always thought that it was weird that all the airbenders were killed by the fire nation. Like, couldn't they fly away with their stick. I mean, i'm sure some kids could have escaped while the teachers were opposing the fire nation. As regard Ty Lee i never thought of it but i LOVE IT very much. She never paired with Azula, she is kind of heart and really similar to Aang. I think she would have maid a great AirBender if she would have appeared in Korra.

For me, it’s quite unlikely that not even a few air benders managed to survive. There’re 4 air temples plus some nomads who weren’t living there permanently. It’s quite obvious.

[@LeloucheDGuitar]

I think there is another hypothetical point to tai lee being an air nomads decendent, where there is great existential trauma, many children tend to arise from what i can tell by looking at familys over the span of my life, a human being seeing most of his brethren being slaughtered will most like have a hightened and intense energy set for procreation and if you see that beside the fact that tailee has many siblings it just makes more sense to me for this to be true

[@tkojit]

but i just had a theory couldnt aang give people airbending with the airbending lion turtle as we learned in korra

[@WetSquidy5]

Perhaps they could

[@shadowwriter4538]

Maybe. However, if we're going by any genetic level of bending, Aang isn't going to know for cetain if anyone is going to get airbending specfically if he does it on a non bender. He doesn't know if they're ancestors to his people and even if they weren't he might accidentally give a person water, earth, or even fire beding instead.

[@emmanisedanieldanuel1197]

But yo don’t know if the air bender were rebuild

[@WobblesandBean]

Even by the end of Korra, it isn't. They did that whole silly convergence thing, but handing a bunch of normies airbending powers isn't going to magically restore an entire culture. They even show Tenzin really struggling with the newcomers to get them to understand and abide by Air Nomad rules.
