Avatar's Secondary Bending Explained

[@MidoriDad]

The fact that they never utilized pulling water out of thin air again in either series was truly a waste.

[@petertracycarroll]

I always had the idea that a water bender could rip the water from a cloud and turn it into a massive wave

[@snithnorddarthbathrobe6928]

but in the desert episode aang gets water from a cloud and there is one scene where hama gets water from the air

[@MidoriDad]

@@snithnorddarthbathrobe6928 that's a literal cloud, not thin air. And when Hama did it in the 3rd season, that was the introduction to the idea that it could be done. But it was never done again after that one episode.

[@Andrew-wl3hn]

I think about this ALL the time. Truly a waste.

[@Casper-Ghost]

Eh realistically it wouldn't work everywhere but I agree with you. I live in Louisiana so down here you could easily drown someone with the water in the air around them. Hell down here if you used heat bending to pull the heat from around someone you'd leave them encased in ice. lol Most people don't live somewhere that's consistently that humid though so it would only be possible when the weather allows for it.

[@Seetiyan]

Two things forgotten: Earth: sand bending and Fire: energy reading. They can actually do some (spiritual) healing with it too, according to the Kyoshi books. I'd love to see in a future generation more airbenders learning to spiritually project. Freedom even from their body. And if an airbender could pull someone else's spirit out of their body? That would be SO cool.

Another KZbinr did a good explanation of this: basically, during Aang’s time the Fire Nation Royal Family kept the secret within the family, so only they could use it.

Waterbender category for blood and plant is actually we can call it "fluidbend". Or "creature bend". It's not limited to blood and plants. But also can drain all the liquid out of any living beings. Just like draining water out of grass. For living beings, waterbender is the most OP because water is in every living beings. But for planetary issue, it's earthbender.

[@GHanBax]

Hello, I would like to share my elemental analysis from both shows. These specific aspects make the show more interesting to me since they’re digging more on the depth and science of the elements, which is the show’s key feature, and how even the character of benders could affect (or improve) their bending. Each element on how it was used, how it was controlled, and how it was understood, was based on the essence of the element. Like how earth benders are more stiff, water benders more fluid, air benders more free, and fire benders more aggressive. Anyway, check out more below to see my extractions and observations on each element. Special Bending: Water - Blood (Element of Change - The challenge is adapting to density - improve the capability of the element) Earth - Metal (Element of Substance - The challenge is sensing scattered earth -connect with the element) Fire - Lightning (Element of Power - The challenge is controlling concentrated energy - increase the intensity of the element) Air - Flight (Element of Freedom - The challenge is independence from attachments - become the element) Sub Bending Skills: Through Change of forms and phases; Isolation of expression; Extraction; Molecular movement and manipulation Water - Ice, Mist, Plants Earth - Crystals, Sand, Lava Fire - Combustion, Heat Air - Pressure, Sound (More under complementary and intermediate elements) Spiritual Bending Specific Skills: Achievable through the bender’s - Character, Personality, Meditation, Practice and Training Water - Healing [including to the spirits] (You are able to change the quality and state of the object) Earth - Seismic Sense (You are able to connect and feel what it's like to be the element) Fire - Energy Reading (You are able to detect energy and chi connections) Air - Astral Projection (You become free in space as your form doesn't hinder you) Complementary and Intermediate Elements: (In Favor = More Dominant in Control) Complementary - Fire and Water - Steam (In favor of Water; Water benders could bend the water molecules while Fire benders could take control of the heat of the molecules.) Earth and Air - Sand (In favor of Earth; It is a light element that can have space between earth molecules for air molecules to occupy, giving air benders a little bit of control. So both elements can, at least for air, move sand) Intermediates - Fire and Air - Gas (In favor of Fire; Air benders can control the air molecules while Fire benders can control the kinetic energy of the molecules) Earth and Fire - Lava (In favor of Earth; Originally before LOK they're a shared element the avatar could control through earth and fire. Earth can move the substance while fire is responsible for the heating of the earth.) Water and Earth - Mud (In favor of Water; Since they are heterogenous, the earth in mud moves the water, while moving the water also moves the earth) Water and Air - Vapor (In Favor of Air; Water benders can bend the water molecules in vapor state while Air benders could bend the air molecules around the water to move the water molecules, or the gaseous state of water itself.)

Or a second avatar state. The first being the one we know already that allows you to use the skill and power of every Avatar before you. And a second one that unlocks all bending techniques and the skills to use them. But it doesn't allow you to tap into the overwhelming power of the first one. It only unlocks all sub bending techniques. You can't use both Avatar states at the same time.

[@MorganSaph]

@@JamesLard32 The whole point of the Avatar state is that you do have access to the total combined power of all previous Avatars, along with all their memories. So, the current Avatar can always use the bending all other Avatars mastered. Not to mention, the Avatar state pseudo-ressurrects all previous Avatars in the current Avatars body. That's why it's considered the most powerful skill of the Avatar, because they become godlike. The reason they don't use it though is because the Avatar permanently dies if killed in the Avatar State.

[@MegaMrASD]

I'm still kind of on the fence about bloodbending. Sure taking control of the water in one's blood makes sense, but lifting up Katara by her blood? I'm pretty sure that much force would just straight up rip the blood out of her veins or even completely out of her body (not to mention something as huge and heavy as a Bison in Legend of Korra). And even if your veins could stand up to the pressure of your blood being moved about and your body being levitated mid-air, I'm 99% sure that that would also mean you stop the person's blood circulation which would just outright kill them.

[@lizanya6433]

i think it works the same way regular water bending works. if a waterbender bent the water in a balloon to lift it, the balloon wouldn’t pop. they’re lifting the water the same way they would lift any other water, so the person’s weight wouldn’t cause them to stay grounded, which would result in them exploding and dying. their body moves with the water, not the other way around.

[@MorganSaph]

your body is made up of 60% water. Bloodbending controls over half the body, meaning that only 40% of the bodies weight would be acting against that 60%. no way her blood would get ripped out. Plus, with your blood system being a (hopefully) closed system, the only way to stop circulation would be to stop the heart. Remember that a bloodbender is picking you up by your veins and they run through pretty much every milimeter of your body.

[@andylozano17]

There are two key differences between Sparky-sparky Boom Man's combustion bending and P'Li's. Sparky-sparky Boom Man's Combustion bending takes a lot of time to reload. In addition, its trajectory is excusively straight; he cannot make it follow a curved path. P'Li has a better control of it as she can change the direction of her combustion bending trajectory at will. In addition to that, we see from episode 3x12 that she reloads a lot, lot faster than Sparky-sparky Boom Man does, so fast that she manages to keep the metalbenders at bay despite being completely surrounded.

In the comic book “Toph Beifongs Metalbending Academy” they introduced a new lava bender who’s name is Sun. Toph tracks him down and invites him to stay at the academy with her and her other students.

[@hannahgrace7820]

so technically you could say there are 5 confirmed lava benders. a second that may still be alive in the Korra series besides Bolton

6 because Avatar Roku can lavabend.

[@Lumintorious]

I really wanted Sound-Bending (or Wave-Bending) to be a subset of airbending so bad in LoK.

[@Acesoap]

if it ever got continued i wouldn't be surprised. Air Bending lost so much momentum due to the fire nation, with more time to grow more subsets would emerge

[@hammah6750]

I swear to god when he called her “princess you” i was so pissed

[@RJ_Ehlert]

It was said by Bolin that only 1 in 100 Earthbenders were able to learn Metalbending. I would call the "Flight" Voidbending. I believe that Zaheer demonstrated that he had begun to use Voidbending when he removed the air from a location to suffocate people.

[@MorganSaph]

Considering that the Void is literally nothing, it can't be bent. Flight would be a mix of Spiritbending and Airbending. Also, he used Airbending to remove the air from peoples lungs and created an empty air shield around people's heads to prevent them from breathing

[@RJ_Ehlert]

@@MorganSaph ​ 1) This is a make-believe show about magic. So saying Void couldn't be bent because it's not an element isn't a valid argument. -Fire is not a thing; it's stored chemical energy released from material in thermal runaway. Earth is not a thing. They bend anything from silicon, carbon, and iron to complex solid materials containing bound gas elements. 2) Void = Vaccum, and removing air entirely from an area is something we've only seen Zaheer do. If vacuum is a normal part of Airbending, it would automatically prevent all Firebending.

[@gulnursonmez9539]

Since it is my childhood wish to levitate, any form of air bending is my favorite. Water's healing and earh's sensing the earth's vibrations are very cool also. I like the creative ways of each bending. For example, Zuko's uncle once heated water by fire bending which is very useful.

[@DERTHIX]

I'm just gonna say that Toph could probably lavabend... She's a damn legend

[@thebeatleshelp5834]

Combustion bending could be like a mixture between fire and air, it could be that they send an air stream then ignite it maybe somehow from a distance.

[@hectorhernandezaleman3836]

That would made them benders of two different elements, which is impossible for anyone who isn't the avatar.

[@MorganSaph]

@@hectorhernandezaleman3836 Transbenders are possible. But Sparky-Sparky Boom Man proves Combustion is Firebending only.

[@cmassarini3308]

I thought Amon bended himself so he could move toward Tarlok

[@xiondavis969]

[@landonletterman831]

I truly believe (and think that it would make a great villain in either a 3rd season of Avatar, or the latter years of Korra) that every bender can absorb a teaching from the other elements that they can use. Lava bending could be done either by a Fire Bender (better at making it than flinging it around) or an Earthbender (better at flinging it around than making it). A water bender can use tenants of fire bending to boil water. A fire bender can bend water, but only while it's boiling (they are controlling the heat energy, not the water) or learning how to turn water into hot steam and using it like an air bender. The whole story is an "anti-avatar" is created during "Harmonic Convergence," thanks in part to Unnalok (sp?) who can bend in the spirit world but not in the real world. He still knows bending, and uses benders (students of his) in the physical world as his protection. He's rebuilding the Air Nation, but he's doing it militaristically, trying to assert himself as the world's new Avatar as he forces them into peace (his goals are all worthwhile, he's just doing them wrong) Edit: I'm also not 100% that a combustion bender isn't a fire bender that's learned some air bending techniques (another of the stories ideas)

You forgot spiritual healing for firebending as explored in Legend of Korra ;) but still an enjoyable video

[@rhynoklein7]

Blood bending doesn’t necessarily make you evil. You can be a bloodbender that captures bloodbenders. It’s like using snipers to counter other snipers. It’s not the method that is evil, it’s the individual yielding that skill.

Kind of interesting to see how some people consider icebending a sort of secondary waterbending while some do not (and don't even think of it!)

[@LobbyOBungle]

Atomic Bending, Void/Space Bending, Gravity Bending, Light/Shadow Bending and Energy Bending are some really cool Bending possibilities that I wish could be expanded upon. But If I had to choose out of all of the available bending in accepted lore then just Air Bending/Spiritual Bending.

[@MorganSaph]

Of everything you mention only Airbending and Spiritbending are actual Bending Elements. Atomic is literally what they already do, just 1 level bigger, Void doesn't exist, literally, Space is impossible since it's not an element, Gravity seems to be part of Air or Spirit bending, Light and Dark Bending are the same thing and would fall under Firebending and Energy Bending is just an alternate name for Spirit Bending.

Know I'm late but they shouldn't be able to bloodbend, since the iron in the blood is too little and too pure to actually do anything with it. We've seen earthbenders being incapable of bending pure metal before so... I don't think they'd be able to do it.

Jet propulsion is also another fire bending technique. Also, theres shared bending techniques; Air Benders and Water Benders can bend clouds, earth and water benders can bend plants, fire and earth benders can manipulate volcanism. Not lava bend,but a fire bender can manipulate the energy given off by lava. I believe theres more as well but those are some examples.

could you bend glass, wood, or like plastic...... or with those being said could you use two benders to create something that we would need both sides to truly create

glass is earth bending, wood is plantbending and plastic is no. It's a synthetic material, not a mineral, so nothing bends it. but using 2 different benders to create something that needs multiple elements is clever. I dub it Fusionbending.

[@javamitsiky9608]

I'd almost categorize these forms of bending as tertiary rather than secondary. Obviously the four primary elements are earth, water, fire, and air, but there's subvariants of those like sandbending, mudbending, "plantbending" or whatever you'd call what the swamp guys were doing, and manipulation of ice and steam. There's also hypothetical forms of bending, like if an earthbender can manipulate sand, and both earthbenders and waterbenders can manipulate mud, you'd expect someone to be able to do the same for clay, since it contains both earth and water.

[@TheDwarvenGameing]

I feel like bloodbenders would be surgeons in the future, which is when it would be de-stigmatized. They could pull the water out of a tumor and then use that water as a scalpal to cut it out, all while preventing any bloodloss. If a persons heart stopped they could just keep the blood flowing.

[@riicky83]

Lightning bending does have some form of water bending to it, when Iroh explained Lightning bending to Zuko, he mentioned about using something akin to water bending motion to channel the lightning safely through the body, missing the heart and then redirecting it back out the body at the designated target.

[@xiondavis969]

Yup.. yeah he mentioned that in the video
