@fazbrogaming7776 That's funny you mention that because I've been thinking about a special group of Fire Nation soldiers picked by Sozin for the purpose of hunting down and killing the airbenders that escaped the attacks on the temples.

Hanzo and Dulma are Ty Lee's (great) grandparents

[@mill2712]

She'd probably be more 1/4 to 1/8 air nomad ancestry really if those are her grandparents or great grandparents.

[@jackdccole]

This story makes use of a loophole in the story. Aang is not just the Last Airbender, but also the Avatar. Dulma is not an Avatar, so she would technically be the last exclusive Airbender.

[@Book4Air]

I love that! Well said.

[@CS08129]

Also sense she lived and eventually died before Aang got thawed out he still gets to hold onto that title sense he was the last during that era

[@worminaround]

To be fair, Aang is the last Airbender known at that time

[@thalmoragent9344]

Well, by Aang's time, he is the last Airbender

[@arrowghost]

Hanzo is basically the only witness to the supposedly The Last Airbender, but it's not until Aang shows up 100 years later. Sozin or Azulon did not realized Dulma was a secret airbender indeed.

[@LeshicaFaithKasinathan]

it not canon you idiot

[@LeshicaFaithKasinathan]

it not canon you idiot .

[@giorgiobedolla]

I can see a fleshed out version of Dulma's story being a hella sad one. Especially since she's pretty much the opposite of Aang. While Aang had grief over the loss of Gyatso and the rest of his people, He was able to get past that with the love of Katara and his friends. Dulma, before she met Hanzo, was pretty much alone. For all we know, she had to be constantly moving and never staying in one place for too long to avoid being found by the Fire Nation. I also wouldn't be surprised if she had to break her ideals of pacifism at some point to defend herself against a group of firebender soldiers hunting her. A potential series could show her developing severe psychological damage to her mental health knowing that she betrayed her people's principles and teachings and now has blood on her hands that she can never wash away. No matter how much she tries. The most glaring difference between these two is their reactions to the Air Nomad Genocide. While both of them are survivors of Sozin's evil, horrific actions; Aang at the very least never had to witness it first hand and only saw the aftermath. It hurt but again, He at least had Suki, Zuko, Toph, Sokka, Momo, Appa and especially Katara to act as his new family. Since Dulma told Hanzo that she mastered airbending but was unable to have her tattooing ceremony due to Sozin's initial strike; Its very likely that she witnessed the genocide herself. Imagine how horrifying and traumatizing that must have been for her; being forced to see the nuns that raised her, her fellow students, her friends all being wiped out by skull faced soldiers in blood red armor destroying her home. I'd mention more but I dont want this to get too long. All I can say is that Dulma and Hanzo have potential to be genuinely interesting characters that I cant wait to see more of in the future

This is now canon.

[@destinypersona]

😅😂😂😂

[@ChloeCrismon]

You just made me cackle 🤣

[@sparxstreak02]

It’s sad though, Dulma would never be able to Airbend in plain sight again & air is the element of freedom. Honestly Hanzo should’ve moved them to the most rural part of Fire Nation Colonies in the Earth Kingdom so there’d be less eyes around Dulma & less risk of her heritage being discovered. And what if she & Hanzo had children & one of them or more was born an Airbender?

[@Book4Air]

You know… you may be onto something! The writer did say we would find out the true story about Hanzo and Dulma, and that it isn’t as rosy and idealistic as the myth.

[@LeshicaFaithKasinathan]

@@Book4Air i thought you said this story was,t canon .

[@AtarahDerek]

If my theory is correct, that wouldn't happen. The rate at which bending occurs in a population correlates with how frequently benders die in attacks or in war. It's more or less inversely proportionate. Which is why the Air Nomads had a 100% bending rate, while the Earth Kingdom, which is huge, fractured and constantly at war somewhere, has the lowest bending rate. It's also why waterbending didn't return to the SWT for over 50 years. If benders are targeted for removal from the gene pool, bending will occur less and less frequently in the surviving population as a means of protecting them. If all benders are removed from a population, all subsequent children will be born non-benders for decades or longer. And when bending does return, it is highly unlikely that a firstborn will possess it. In the case of the EK and FN, firstborn males are the least likely to be benders because male benders are the most likely to be killed in battle before they have children of their own. If the firstborn is a non-bender, and the next child is a bender and gets killed for it, at least the bloodline survives in their older sibling. This idea perfectly explains Piandao, Sokka and Bumi II. Bumi in particular was born to not one but TWO survivors of genocides that targeted benders specifically. Even if he'd been a girl, he probably would still not have been a bender.

[@sparxstreak02]

@@AtarahDerek interesting complex theory, although in the case of the Air Nomads their 💯% bender rate was officially explained as it being due to their high spirituality, which was enhanced in conjunction with their pacifist ways & environment.

[@AtarahDerek]

@@sparxstreak02 But the occurrence of bending in particular characters contradicts that idea. It may be the prevailing theory in that world that more spiritual = more benders, and that's supported some by the fact that the EK is the least spiritual nation. But the truth is that more spiritual = more peaceful = less conflict that kills benders = more benders. Otherwise, how do you explain the fact that Piandao and Bumi were not born benders, yet Toph was? Or why isn't Hakoda a bender? His mother's generation is more spiritual than his. And the next generation was generally even less spiritual , yet they saw more waterbenders born than the previous generation did (assuming, as is likely, that Sura and Siku's parents are the same generation as Katara).

[@9xprincess]

I always felt like Aang being the last airbender would be more like he was the last one in recent years/decades. I'm sure in the immediate time after the genocide there were survivors. This story was amazing! Thank you.

this has to be a few years after the genocide and both of them are young, so great grand parents is a bit of a stretch

[@HogBurger]

@@jveematt2511It literally says 100 years ago, so it is likely a few months or so after the genocide. And since both are already adults, then it’s actually grandparents that would be a stretch. It would make more sense to be great grandparents or even great great grandparents if you want to push it. Unless they pulled a Sozin and had kids when they were very old which is possible for Hanzo (being a man) but not Dulma (cause menopause occurs in your late 40’s and early 50’s)… but many things on the ATLA timeline don’t make sense, so I could just suspend my disbelief…

[@thepieisalieofficial]

Oh my gooooosshhhh that was incredible! This was a fully original story too, right? Just wow. The art is so amazing too. It feels really close to the comics’ artstyle. Also this story was just super wholesome. I like how it answers the commonly debated topic of what happened to all the airbenders (it’s just very unlikely every single one of them was truly wiped out.) I’ve always quite liked the fan theory of airbenders hiding amongst the other nations to protect themselves. And this comic brought that whole idea to life. I genuinely got emotional watching this, when Dulma said she’d rather die following her people’s traditions than become a monster like the Fire Nation portrait them as. Also that Hanzo thought that the airbenders tattoos were a connection to evil spirits. Just goes to show to the kind of indoctrination and misinformation the Fire Nation spread. I really love how you guys can so skillfully bring attention to such topics in lil details like that. This was super awesome. Thank you guys for the hard work and passion

Stories like this would explain the reason why some of the people in the earth kingdom got the ability to airbend in Korra. Some nomads got refuge and their abilities were dormant for some time.

[@Randomdudefromtheinternet]

Damn, this is brilliant! This is genius! I really want more stories on these guys (their daily lives in the Fire Nation, the struggles of Dulma keeping her identity hidden and not being able to connect with her culture, the challenges of being a multicultural couple, and so on). A true treasure trove of possibilities.

[@giorgiobedolla]

Not to mention that maybe Dulma could have PTSD episodes of the genocide and Hanzo has to calm her down via holding her and reassuring her that she's safe; he won't let anything happen to her. Remember how it was mentioned that Hanzo's father and grandfather partipated in the raids? I have a little headcanon that Dulma's master died fighting Hanzo's father who was likely either a captain or commander at the time. Imagine how she would feel having to meet the man who killed her master in front of her while also having to keep her true heritage hidden.

[@donttalktome8991]

Every air bender was not killed over night 💀… they were nomads they traveled the world… many had air ancestors and that’s why in korra they got their air bender back

God, now I REALLY want to know who wrote the script, who drew these pages (especially those from 0:00 to 1:15, omg, that looks so difficult to do O.O like guys this is the EXACT same style as the ATLA comics'), who voiced that, and even who the heck had such a brilliant idea for a story like that in the first place. Not only is all this great, but it also very much fits the original show and comics's style and themes. This is incredible, guys.

[@Book4Air]

I should be able to answer those questions! The script was written by our head writer and voice of Azula - Lucia Lobosvilla The characters were all designed by Vago and she also drew the pages, though some of the line art and coloring was doing by other artists in our group (Sam Lee Wins, Kat Peterson, Melissa Palacios, Luan/Depre). As for the voices: Fire Captain - Grant Corvin Hanzo - Christian Sekhanan Dulma - Josephine Sweet Storyteller - JJ Williams The music for this portion was done by Aneesh Kashalikar.

Like trust me, I know drawings and I can assure you this is the EXACT style used in Dark Horse ATLA comics. Those seen in the rest of the video aren't bad-looking at all, don't get me wrong, but it's just obvious they're not from the same artists. Like my chin is still on the floor right now.

Here are my headcanons for Dulma and Hanzo's pasts before the events of the story seen here. Let me know which ones you like! •Dulma #1-Dulma was born and raised at the Eastern Air Temple under the instruction of Sister Hariti; an accomplished airbending master who saw the girl as a surrogate daughter of sorts. Hariti was sort of like a female Monk Gyatso but a bit more strict. #2-Under Hariti's training; Dulma had proven herself to be quite the bookworm as she spent the majority of her free time in the temple library studying the writings of Air Nomads from ancient times such as the poetry of Guru Laghima as well as practicing her bending to near refinement. Before the attack happened, She was on track to become one of the youngest girls in her class to earn her arrow tattoos. #3-When the Fire Nation had attacked the temple under Sozin's orders; Hariti sacrificed herself to protect Dulma via getting killed in battle by the field commander leading the raid. The experience caused her to develop survivor's guilt and PTSD that lasted for the rest of her life. #4-At some point after escaping the initial attacks and going into hiding at a forest in the Earth Kingdom; Dulma was forced to violate her teachings to defend herself against a group of Fire Nation commandos hunting her after a villager she saved sold her out after witnessing her using her bending in exchange for a monetary reward. After at least a week evading the hunting party and using attacks to incapacitate them if needed, She was eventually cornered by one firebender who was quite eager to prove himself. The moment that would haunt her for the rest of her life was when she was eventually forced to strike the soldier down in self defense with a thin blade of air that killed him instantly. The soldier in question was only nineteen. So what do you think? Hanzo's headcanons will be posted at a later date PS: How old would you say Hanzo and Dulma are respectively?

[@giorgiobedolla]

Next up is Hanzo's headcanons #1-Hanzo was born as the oldest child of his family consisting of his parents and three younger sisters; As such, he had a sort of strained relationship with his father due to him being the sole male child of the family, which led to his father treating Hanzo more harshly compared to his sisters. #2-By the time he was nine, Hanzo was trained extensively by his father in firebending so he could be ready to enlist into the military when he came of age and serve his country like his father and grandfather before him. #3-As the commanding officer of the initial attacks, Hanzo's father was particularly prejudiced against airbenders due to buying into Sozin's propaganda demonizing the other nations. On the return home, he had even brought back an Air Nomad necklace he'd personally stolen from a nun he killed as a trophy. (This nun coincidentally was Dulma's master)

The Air Nomads are not that nomadic, aren't they? Living secluded from the rest of the world, forever searching spiritual enlightenment... I have an idea for a "canon" story: Dulma just finished her airbending training when the Northern Air Temple is attacked by the Fire Nation. It was there, during the attack, that Dulma meets Hanzo, and she gracefully avoids his aggressive attacks. When Dulma's master, Monk Tenma is being surrounded by Fire Nation soldiers, he tells Dulma to flee but she steadfastly refuses. Day turned to night as the fighting continued and all the monks who took part in the battle except Dulma are burned alive at the stake, as the burning example of those who dared to challenge the might of the Fire Nation. Heeding her master's order and with the heaviest of hearts, Dulma flees, where to she does not know, hoping this "journey" will lead her somewhere. As for Hanzo, he is determined to catch the supposed "last airbender" by himself, sending a letter to the Fire Lord expressing his wish. With it being granted by a Royal Decree, no one else but him is allowed to go after Dulma. Thus, the Path of Opposites begins. Great work, guys! Really loved this one!

Is this Canon? I hope it is because this story awesome!! Thank you to whoever made this I always wanted to know about more of what happened after the fire Nation attacked the air nation.

[@Book4Air]

This is an original story made by us, our head writer wrote it and our artists did the designs and art. However, we wrote it as an expansion of a canon story called “Relics”. Check out the full episode! Thank you for your kind words! That’ll mean a lot to the team. 🤗

When are you guys making the next one becaues this is incredibly good

[@Book4Air]

We are hard at work at the next one. The voice acting and art has been fully completed. We are moving to audio editing soon. Keep an eye on community posts for updates.

Wasn't Hanzo the name of Aang's friend from the Fire Nation?

[@Book4Air]

That was Kuzon. It’s also the name Aang used as an alias to go to Fire Nation school.

[@gnostic2459]

The only possible way that the airbenders could have been wiped out is if they were universally dumb enough to not ask for asylum in Ba Sing Se for some incomprehensible reason.

[@Book4Air]

…or they asked and were refused? Or the Fire Nation set up check points around Ba Sing Se to catch any Air Nomad refugees? Or some did manage to sneak in and abandoned their culture to survive so no one knows? Or Ba Sing Se also imprisoned them because they’re authoritarians themselves? Who knows?

[@gnostic2459]

@@Book4Air Fire Nation took decades of warring and Iroh's leadership to even make it to the walls, they couldn't stop an airbender getting there even if they couldn't just fly. Latter two are more realistic. Another choice would be the Northern Water Tribe, which the Fire Nation also couldn't break into. Honestly there should be a bunch of random halfbreed airbenders popping up periodically throughout the world.

[@Book4Air]

The first one is about it claiming asylum. You can’t sneak in and claim asylum. The Earth Kingdom can deny them. Sneaking in through the walls may be easy, but that doesn’t mean they’d be safe with the EK government if they snuck in illegally. There very well may be several people with Air Nomad blood. But as we learned from the novels, airbenders can lose their bending as they lose their spirituality. So if they became separated from their culture, they’d eventually lose their bending. So it could be there are people with Air Nomad ancestry who don’t even know it!

[@gnostic2459]

@@Book4Air They can fly right over any checkpoint the Fire Nation tried setting up, land on top of the outer wall, and ask for asylum. They could also do this with the Northern Water Tribe's big ice wall. I really doubt they'd just be kicked out of both, when both countries were at war with the Fire Nation.

Wait, if that's happened, should there are airbender in the their family? Well, since Dulma is an airbender and some among their children will be identified as airbenders?

[@kafukwamekemeh]

Probably it would established that Dulma loses her airbending due to losing touch with her spiritual self
