Piandao is considered the greatest swordsman in Fire Nation history. He was the son to two firebending masters, but is not a firebender himself. Part of why he sympathizes with Sokka.

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

There is a theory that the real Painted Lady couldn’t help the village BECAUSE the river was polluted (She’s the spirit of the river).

[@brittanybarnes5958]

I’ve thought that too, that the spirits react and respond to the environments that they watch over. It’s why in Book 1, Hei Bai the forest spirit was in its aggressive form when the forest was burned, and not as a panda

[@ayo3181]

Fans theorized that the reason the Painted Lady didn't help the town herself was because the pollution weakened her

[@henrikbartnes8424]

Or the belief in her had weakened because of the water, so when katara came they saw it as proof, so the painted lady was believed in and came, idk just my thoughts

[@roeidayan699]

nah the reason she didnt help is because that episode is badly written and they just threw shit on paper to make a filler

[@henrikbartnes8424]

@@roeidayan699 it’s not written badly even if it didn’t have meaning, not related to the overarching plot doesn’t equal bad

[@roeidayan699]

@@henrikbartnes8424 no this episode is objectively bad. many people who are big time fans of the show agree it has plot holes and generally doesn't work with the point in the story its in and the comedy is ass

[@henrikbartnes8424]

@@roeidayan699 i don’t agree

[@alessaxreacts9935]

Fun fact when Toph was performing the space rock she made the Nickelodeon logo. Uncle Iroh is doing act of Nothing waiting before stricking back similar to when Bumi was capatured in Ohmashu

[@curtiszyr]

I think it’s important to acknowledge that not only did they drive the fire nation away they also STAYED to help clean the river.

[@SweetlyxJules]

One of my favorite things about Sokka’s Master episode is that we are almost faced with the reality that Sokka himself is still just a kid. He’s only 16 and seems SO much older than the other members of the Gaang because, well, he is. But it’s war, and it’s not like Sokka is an adult and it really wasn’t until he was next to Master Piandao (where you can see their heights and the way they stand) that we’re really hit with the reality that Sokka is also just as young as the rest of the Gaang. It’s such a poignant episode (not just for Sokka’s confidence and mastery of a new skill) because Sokka was finally able to be a kid again for a bit… not lead anyone, not make schedules, not feel like everyone else overshadows him because he’s a nonbender. I just love that episode so much.

[@videohistory722]

Don't forget: Toph COULD see the meteorite because it hit the ground!

[@kennedythompson4834]

In the comics zuko trained under the same master . “His skilled sword fighting as the blue spirit “ but yeah the white lotus tile is a connection to uncle it will be revealed but they have kinda sprinkled clues already

[@videohistory722]

The real Painted Lady couldnt step in because the water was too polluted.

[@11ibi]

I like this episode for the focus on sokka greeting the black sword and training also jacked uncle iroh was fire

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

Toxic Katara haters always say that the painted lady proves that she sucks because she “delayed the group” (to help starving children and sick people in need) and “destroyed a factory” (it was a fire nation war-time military factory that should have been destroyed anyway). Katara is a queen and deserves some recognition for being a badass with a heart of gold. People also love to compare that episode to Zuko Alone but the context and scale of the situations are so different that it really is unfair.

[@shriram7042]

Well you know whose fans are those thinking that their fav doesn't have flaws at all and too perfect...... Katara is the heart of atla without her there is no team avatar facts though😂 and moreover she's the most realistic character in atla

[@Simply_Eli]

Who’s out here hating on our queen ? 😭

[@twx15192183]

I never understand the favouritism with these characters. Each character stands on its own and is unique in its own way.

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

@@shriram7042 I never said she was flawless.

[@shriram7042]

@@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH It wasn't meant for you it was for those haters

[@videohistory722]

Fun fact: The white lotus motif can be seen throughout Piandao's castle.

[@alessaxreacts9935]

Another fun fact when Toph was bending the space rock she forms the Nick Logo

[@videohistory722]

Many Fire Nation sets were inspired by real locations in Iceland. In fact, co-creator Bryan Konietzko traveled to Iceland to scout environments. The waterfall was designed after the real life Gullfoss Waterfall.

[@bzporto]

Awesome!! Had no idea about that.

[@videohistory722]

Master Piandao is designed to look like Sifu Kisu, the kung-fu consultant on Avatar. Sifu Kisu helped to choreograph this and all fight sequences.

[@promisemochi]

think of the painted lady as the river spirit in spirited away. the pollution having a negative impact on her spirit and abilities

[@Kickinthescience]

The backbender Sokka has a new way to stab

[@Laura-xh4yr]

That's a wild thing to say 💀

[@tikilocklin]

broooo 💀

[@videohistory722]

Sokka's master schedule is the real Avatar production schedule, shrunken down. And just like our gang, the Avatar production was often behind schedule.

[@bzporto]

Love to see my fav Sokka getting some love. Great to know one of you has him as a favorite too.

[@videohistory722]

In Sokkas Master, the kids are in the Fire Nation town of Shu Jing, which is in a secluded location, so it's rarely bothered by the Fire Nation Army.

[@TheBlackLakeSiren]

Since the painted lady is the spirit of the river, the river being so heavily polluted probably weakened her, which is why she could not step in to help herself. This is probably why she was able to come back in the end and thanked katara for her help.

[@videohistory722]

In this episode, the writers wanted to show the negative effects of the War, and how it extends to even the Fire Nation citizens. The smelting factory was built ten years ago. The metal extracted here is used to create weapons for the Fire Nation.

[@videohistory722]

Battle armor Aang was inspired by an early toy design of Aang in armor.

[@videohistory722]

The real Painted Lady is a Water Spirit.

[@TheBlackLakeSiren]

Iroh getting jacked was so hype for me. I love that he got stronger and was plotting against the fire nation while in jail.

[@videohistory722]

Piandao gets his name from the Chinese words "pian dao", a deeply curved saber meant for slashing.

[@akiraelisiyaoniwinde4174]

Love from the UK to your channel and all your reactions! Bryce, haircut is looking fresh my dude 🫡

[@danieldomzalski9303]

always excited for a new upload of this series, this season just keeps getting better

[@ozmathegreatand]

throwback to the jokes about Sokka schedule being the air date schedule for this season

[@codyskaggs4313]

I thank Sokka gets way to much hate all because he wants to stay on schedule to win the war, I understand why Katara stalled. Aang also has to find a fire bending teacher so it's not just the schedule it's the soler eclipse. He has to keep everything on track. so Sokka isn't. wrong but I do respect. What Katara did for the town but also Sokka is not in the wrong either🤣🤣🤣

[@xoxohaibai4681]

the demon slayer reference was so funny! as always, such a fun reaction. Every episode in season 3 hits different

[@alex-fs9yt]

not Bryce saying "unsheathe it, bro" 💀

[@tikilocklin]

Sokka's master is one of my favorite episodesssss

[@curtiszyr]

I think the prison guard was a guy who used to highly respect general Iroh but from his perspective he’s a disgrace and disappointment, I can understand why he would feel that way.

[@aquele4virou3]

The Painted Lady and the Blue Spirit have nothing in common though. Painted Lady: an actual spirit that Katara used to hide behind to help a town of the Fire Nation. Blue Spirit: A mask Zuko hid behind to save Aang so he could capture him and later steal from innocent people his nation was already exploiting. They are not the same lol
