@@bkjeong4302 but the calcium in our bones isn't exactly earth though? right? it's weird, but we can't think too scientifically. it's more the Classical and spiritual aspects of it. For instance, lightning and fire aren't very related, but in mythology, Fire gods are often lighting gods too. Agni in India and Xango in Yorubaland. Well because lighting can cause fires. In all earth's mythology, humans have formed from clay. "ashes to ashes, dust to dust. *SPOILERS* Even Vatu stated the humans in this universe crawled out of the mud. If earth benders can tap into that spiritual connection, who knows what they could do. They could possibly tap into the Mother Earth aspect of the earth, and bend all life forms.

Hama's voice actress is Tress MacNeille. Also the voice of Dot in Animaniacs, Gertie from Hey Arnold, and Daisy Duck! Which is quite the creepy and yet mind-blowing thought that such an innocent character like Dot is also straight up a BLOODBENDER. Then again, Gertie probably wishes she could bloodbend! When Katara blocks the big attack, Hama is shocked because that’s not a water bending technique. Water bending is about redirecting and turning your opponents energy back on them. What Katara does is an earthbending move! Just another time where they show that when you combine the four elements, combine multiple views, you get something even greater than the sum of its parts. Hama's name comes from the Greek word aima, meaning "blood"! This episode is wonderfully creepy and well written, but another reason it hits so hard for me is how tragic it is. For so long, Katara was the last waterbender of her tribe, who has had to fight and work so hard for the right to continue her tradition. And when she finally meets Hama, and is not alone for a moment, it all turns sour so quick. On top of that, Hama’s imprisonment is a harrowing story. It’s tragic to see both these characters lose their chance at a unique connection, with Katara’s mentorship taking a horrible turn and Hama becoming a prisoner again in the end...really underlines the horror for me. I really do feel for Hama. It's a pretty classic "Person is hurt by someone/some organization and seeks revenge, but targets people who are connected to, but aren't really responsible for, the actions of that person/organization in the first place" plot, which can feel dumb at times, but the way they showed Hama's backstory, her trauma and deteriorating mental state, really sold it. She's in the wrong, but you can still sympathize with her

I get to point out one of my FAVORITE examples of subtle character development! In the fight between Hama and Katara, Hama blasts a huge water jet at Katara, and she stands her ground and takes it head on, like an earth bender, and then Katara immediately performs an attack that looks INCREDIBLY earthbenderish that knocks Hama to the ground, uprooting her opponent. She has been paying attention to and learning from Tophs techniques and her bending style has grown to show how much further she and Tophs bond has grown at this point!

Katara, and most other water benders, didn't think to try to blood bend. Only the strongest water benders on the evening of the full moon can blood bend. Also, it's not something a bender would think of anymore than a Star Wars jedi would stumble on techniques that use the dark side of the force. Ripping water from flowers and trees works, but it obviously kills the plant. I could see how controlling another body is akin to rape in that you remove a person's ability to control their body, and you do with their body whatever want. Imagine how traumatic that would be to the person being controlled. It's downright evil, and is much more invasive than just beating them up.

[@controlman7490]

Yea, but bloodbending is ok as long as you use it for defense. Technically if you incase someone in earth and start throwing them around that's also immoral because they don't have control over their body, but earthbending isn't outlawed. The whole idea of having bending is that you're in control of your powers, and how you choose to use them is up to you. Bloodbending is not any more immoral than the other 4 elements that can also be used to take away someone's free will and harm them.

[@IamnotJohnFord]

@@controlman7490 There is a major difference between moving someone by moving the Earth around them and reaching into someone's body and taking control of their limbs.

whats so horrible about bloodbending is that in anger and absolute rage, a person could use this on someone and very cruelly end their life. I see it as equivalent to rape because its controlling someone else while they are still conscious of what's happening. Its different than just ending someone's life. As a bloodbender you could get someone to end their own life, drown themselves, literally rip themselves apart. Its painful both physically and mentally. We see in southern raiders that the very kind hearted katara was so in rage that she used the technique. If you have the power and lose control who knows what'll happen.

I think in a way Katara sees it as if she didnt have her remaining loved ones and had suffered more from the Fire Nation as Hama did she may think she would probably have turned out like Hama.

Bloodbending is powerful, yes, but rooting for Katara to use it when she clearly doesn't want to use it since the skill itself can be used for evil purposes (akin to rape in a way, taking over someone's body without their approval) sadly means you haven't fully gripped the idea of how treacherous bloodbending is - even after they litetally made a whole episode on how horrifying it is. It drives you to insanity and though Hama wasn't power-hungry like you said, she was hungry for revenge and for what seems like a valid reason. She took it out of innocent civilians who just grew up as a part of the fire nation - Just like Jet did, but in Hama's case, bloodbending and its intoxication also did its part in having her want more villagers to lock away, and she always used her dark terrible past as an excuse to do so.

[@dwnkaomwn3953]

@@dwnkaomwn3953 I agree with what she said but bloodbending is an incredibly difficult technique to use "for good" when even without the addictiveness of it, it's still controlling someone else's body, mostly without consent. I guess in scenarios when you're not fighting with it - like you're helping someone in a wheelchair walk for the last time because they asked you to - can be considered a "nice" way to use bloodbending, but in context of what's about to come to Team Avatar: A literal war - it's toxic to want Katara to use bloodbending to harm someone else when they know her kind caring nature without prejudice is a thing like we've seen in the Jet episode and in the Painted lady episode.

@@thesunisup_ ​ SPOILER How it differs from her normal powers, in my opinion, is that it simply defies the concept of free will. When an enemy attacks you, you at least have the option to defend yourself, fight back, although you may either be successful or unsuccessful. How can someone defend themselves when someones else forces their own will on you? How can you defend yourself when someone uses your own limbs against your will? That's the difference. Although it can be used with non-evil intentions as well, like Katara used it on Hama to save Aang and Sokka. However we get to see Katara use blood bending in a questionable manner, while on a mission of vendetta on this very same series, so even the kindest and most compassionate persons can be pushed to use a power like this in an evil manner.

I love this episode. I never cried during a bloodbending reaction but I did this time when hama said your a bloodbender like it's a horrible scene it broke katara I just cried.

[@Sephiroth766]

I said this earlier that Katara would have major shine this season. This is one of my favorite episodes in the show.

[@PolliitoAle]

Them: She's controlling the water in people! Me: damn they got it Them: And turning them into puppets!! Me: ......one step too far

[@94nolo]

This episode released on Halloween. It was so perfect

[@littlepeach2010]

Katara: Azula lets end this war, you me Ozi and Aang, me and you fight if you win Ozi can end Aang, but if I win Aang can End Ozi, oh and to make it fair as your such a powerful Fire bender we need to do this under a full moon,

[@nicolasromani1303]

Thank you girls for continue with the ATLA universe and watch Korra! It's really great!

[@marcosnonato]

The show wanted to turn Hama into the villain of the episode, now imagine if the people she kidnaped were the former prison guards from where she was?

[@Ragnar_Aevarsson]

But the people she kidnapped are younger than her and the flashbacks showed the guards are generally older or at least the same age. And in this episode she’s anciently old... none of her prisoners were that old.

[@marcosnonato]

@@Ragnar_Aevarsson I know. What I'm saying is, what if the writers had done it differently? What if it was just old people and we found out they were the guards? Or if they were young and then we found out that they were soldiers of the fire nation who terrorize people? The writers wanted to put her as a villain, so they put her to attack innocents.

" don't hurt your friends katara, and don't let them hurt each other ".

[@ybfromoblock3381]

Aang would never take the air out of anyone though. Lol. All the air benders were pacifist monks. But imagine an ‘evil’ air bender. Hehehe.

[@sabotuerelthendo2578]

Well, taking out air to kill someone is a cool move. It was propably known by Airbending Masters in temples. And i mean elder masters like Gyatso. Propably thats how he killed those firebenders in Southern Air Temple- he just took air from this room, and everyone died due to lack of oxygen...

[@streamspoart2671]

"it's possible that airbender take air from someone" Me: remember avoid the spoiler 😏

[@kwanarchive]

You ask about airbenders being able to suck the air out of someone... I mean, Monk Gyatso had a pretty high body count against the Fire Nation soldiers. Who knows what techniques one airbender can use to take out so many soldiers at once.

[@lea4777]

Btw you said wouldn't airbenders be able to take the air out of someone's lungs. In the early episodes when aang visited the southern air temple and they showed monk gyatso's body. They show him surrounded by dozens of dead fire nation soldiers. So it's postulated that monk gyatso did exactly that.

[@ECytchannel]

If Uncle Iroh was a real life person he would tell you how beautiful your friendship is, I love your channel

[@ashe7210]

WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD "Katara would never use her bloodbending for evil" Well...

[@bkjeong4302]

Honestly, bloodbending could have seen more uses in the franchise for non-evil purposes.

[@LFEFP]

My girls, i love the passion you two have for these characters, keep up the good work♥️

[@CeIIsius]

12:07 The mouths open, never to be closed again xD

[@heavyrain4485]

I was waiting for you to reacts this episode. Awesome episode.

[@chrisbreezy-ryanbarbosa4320]

I'm not saying the old woman is right, but considering her situation. If I had been locked up by Fire Nation for that long and they killed my people I would be pretty pissed and want revenge also.

[@chrisbreezy-ryanbarbosa4320]

But obviously not against innocent people like she did under the mountain...

[@robkosta]

One of the best episodes, also one of the greatest bending techniques. I love Hama.

[@porterhw]

BLOODBENDING! Y'ALL HAVE *****ARRIVED.*****

[@shaniapr5]

if you girls are planning to start watching anime I recommend death note is an awesome and really complex anime despite only having 37 episodes is so good it's also a great way to start get into anime in general

[@Karlsruhe00]

I can second that^^ It was pretty much the first anime I watched, and it was amazing. Didn´t have that since.

[@kenobents992]

Really good anime for starters is full metal alchemist. Would also love attack on titan.

[@shaniapr5]

@@kenobents992 yes i love aot and i haven’t seen full metal alchemist but i know is amazing from what everyone says

[@Bre_Midna1997]

This was my favorite episode growing up

[@SCENEIT69]

You have easily become my favorite Avatar reaction channel. You guys are so awesome.

[@IMNPhotography]

Water bending is so much more OP than any other bending its not even funny. Even healing by itself gives water the edge, but couple it with everything else waterbenders can do, and literally no one can stop you.Plus water bending makes everyday life so much easier anyway. There aren’t many ways fire can be useful in non-fighting scenarios unless you’re a chef.

[@natedrake8393]

Hope you watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, it has smth in common with Avatar :)

[@gabecajamarca]

Oh yea everyone loves that series

[@Drewe223]

I love this episode. Very excited you are doing Korra, I love Korra. Personally I think Korra then AoT would be best, but if you want to do them both that would also be great obviously.

[@alicelevac7241]

I also love this episode

[@byronstone386]

They're doing Attack on Titan? I'm pleased but I'm worried about how they're gonna deal with that toxic fanbase and their spoiling habits.

[@user-jl8lw8td7f]

The best Avatar reactions by FAR.

[@TerminatorJuice]

I'm not going to lie... I totally thought they were a couple this whole time! Lol

[@quick2bud]

I'm just gonna pretend I didn't hear them say it...

[@AldoIturra]

Im sad and happy :(

[@aa-cx8nc]

besides the matching shirts in this ep, how

[@yothitweeling9691]

I like that I only found this channel so late, so I don't have to wait for new episodes.

[@no1guy825]

Yue: No, it's cool. I don't need the credit. PS...Sokka, you been workin out?

[@lishaysmiraculousfanfics5346]

Oh my freaking god. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING TELL ME YOU’RE DOING KORRA AFTER THIS!!! OMG PLEASE!!

[@chasematthew1757]

Seriously this is one of the best episodes of the entire series. That battle between Katara and Hama is sooo good.

[@sagnorm1863]

Katara was mostly crying because of what the war has done to her people and culture. Hama was supposed to be this wonderful connection to her culture. But instead, Hama and the southern water tribe culture was tortured and became twisted because of the war.

[@Kuya.AriesTV]

When you progress further, the basic element bending takes an interesting turn. Watch The Legend of Korra after this to find out :)

[@MasalaMan]

I'm amazed how well Lola?(girl on the right) pretty much added up that Hama had been water-bending people.

[@JessYapping]

That’s what Hama said doesn’t matter the power exists so you just knowing it’s a thing if you ever need it you’ll do it

[@gamingboltstation1563]

@14:00 zaheer made your wish come true

[@Itsant33]

Its PTSD. These people are the byproducts of war. And it's a sad reality. Jet, Hamma, and even Zuko and Azula.

[@ameliaporto]

I'm so happy you will watch Legend of Korra. I feel I'm already missing your Avatar content videos (the end of the show always makes me emotional, sorry). About watching Attack on Titan, I must warn: you are walking a path of no return by choosing it after Avatar. Before you realize you'll be having Demon Slayer or My Hero Academia.

[@silversaturns]

Oh I just realised you guys are yet to experience the bliss of ✨ anime opening songs ✨, looking forward to that with Attack on Titan lol

[@teeemtee5739]

Great reaction as always girls! Glad you're recognizing the greatness you're watching. Episode 10 and on is pretty much perfection btw.

[@JasmineTeaEnjoyer]

episode 1-61 is perfection minus the great divide lmao

[@JasmineTeaEnjoyer]

@Dakota Matos that lesson had already been taught to aang in the episode and it is rendered unnecessary by the end. even if it has a lesson, it is still the only episode that you can skip in the entire show and not miss out on any plot or character development.

[@katieflaggirl8518]

Episode starts: *cute matching outfits and friendship * Episode ends: *30+ seconds of shocked/horrified silence* That’s exactly the reaction we all wanted We thrive when you suffer lol

[@morbidlyobeserobocop3038]

Gotta feel for Hama's plight, though. Imagine watching everyone you've ever known/loved get snatched away, and you with them, only to spend countless years locked inside a cage inside a room with no moisture, no other contact besides the brigands who begrudgingly feed/water you, only the rats to keep you company. Beaten within an inch of your life should you show even an iota of resistance. You can say forgiveness is divine but with that kind of vitriol coursing through your veins let's be honest, we'd all probably do the same thing. I don't blame her one bit.

[@nekorion]

hey this popped up on my feed and i clicked it and thanks for answering my question 30 seconds into the video

[@HugoAbRdLp]

JHAJHAJHAHA Lit at the beginning when they were hugging i said "oh cute lesbians" 💖 And a second after that she says "no, we're not in a relationship" 🤣🤣

[@themanwiththeplan8404]

aww maaan, i always thought you to did it and than watch an episode of ATLA afterwards. You always look so chill at your reactions.
