[@pabloc8808]

Worth mentioning that it took all four of the Red Lotus with a sucker punch to take down Tenzin, when it was 1v1 Zaheer was getting completely powerwashed. He is talented, but talent isn't enough to beat a master who's been training his entire life.

[@Alvaro89Rus]

Yeah. Tenzin had moments before, but this episode truly shows how he is one of the strongest benders of era, especially when pushed.

[@Arkayjiya]

I still think Zaheer is a stronger fighter in general, the main issue is that 1) he's fighting with an element Tenzin has so much more experience in and 2) Air is all redirection of strength so even if Zaheer is a stronger fighter and a more powerful bender, Tenzin's greater mastery over air specifically makes him the worst kind of opponent for Zaheer. He's basically a walking Zaheer counter.

[@AlehGea]

@@Arkayjiya He isn't, your deluding yourself. Zaheer is a good strategist, and that's it, when it comes to power Tenzin is miles above him.

[@davismorgan99]

He is even handling all three of them before he gets hit with the combustion. I love how the season shows Zaheer as being an incredibly gifted air bender, but he clearly isn’t all-powerful. They fail to get Korra in Zaofu and when he finally fights a true airbending master he is reduced to running away and taking hits from Tenzin.

[@Alvaro89Rus]

@@Arkayjiya rederecting air?... Did you see that in show at least once? Don't try make Zaheer better then he is, he is already too good for freshly baked bender.

[@paulodorea]

Not a meaningless death either. It was also used to discuss anarchy, power abuse... This show was willing to talk about some deep and complicated stuff

[@samuelvincent557]

The method of her death is what is horrifying to me. When he pulled out all the air from her lungs, that alone wouldn't have been, immediately, fatal. But with ALL the air removed, the lungs would be totally collapsed, and she wouldn't have been able to breathe in unassisted, because her diaphragm would have been fighting a vacuum to get them to inflate. It would take someone or something inflating her lungs from the outside to allow her to breathe again. And that after she collapsed, she was still alive for the several minutes for her brain to die of oxygen deprivation.

[@rodanandme]

I remember seeing that one clip of someone who taped this episode live and in the middle of the earth queen’s death, a little banner with SpongeBob came up at the bottom. Good ol Nickelodeon

[@jaysea3690]

Agree it is quite a brutal scene. It really demonstrates the tone of the show and what Zaheer is capable of. What I only noticed for the first time in this reaction is the foreshadowing; that comment while Korra is in chains about not being able to remove air from the room... *shudders* This show is so well written.

[@najhoant]

I don't think LoK is a "kids' show" in the way that Avatar was one, it feels more like it was made for teenagers who watched Avatar as children and watched this when it ran years later.

[@JesseShadows37]

Tenzin was 100% going to win that fight against Zaheer. There’s a difference between being talented and then being a master.

[@berkekaradag1410]

Yeah. Zaheer is martial arts master who uses airbending but Tenzin is a true air bending master.

[@balturunç]

Zaheers isn't really talent actually. Their goal was to train the avatar with their idealogy and to become her elemental masters. So she would open the portals and release Vaatu. But since the only airbending family is Aang's family he had no choice but to learn the techniques himself and be ready to teach her when the time comes. That's why he immediately gets the hang of it in prison and knows all about the airbending culture.

[@07Flash11MRC]

Additionally Tenzin was outnumbered and by different types of benders as well.

[@Arek152]

Tenzin had enough sparing sessions with Aang. So fighting Zaheer was like walk in a park.

[@thomasaragorn]

The young prodigy vs the old master.

[@ItchyNavel]

I absolutely love that they didn't make it seem like Tenzin struggled when fighting Zaheer. He is a true air bending master, doing it is whole life, and he is fighting for the life of his family and nation, there is no way Zaheer could be his match. Only when it became 3 on one was he beaten.

[@mr_epic875]

Actually he held up pretty good with the 3v1. His body gave out when he was hit by Pl'i during the 3v1, technically making it a 4v1.

[@Monkeykongofficial]

This is probably what Monk Gyatso did during the fire nation invasion back then. Sucking the air out of the room killing both him and all fire nation soldiers. The clothes of Gyatso were untouched and not burnt. You can see one of the fire nation skeleton reaching for it's throat so it is possible that monk Gyatso used this technique as a last resort. Gyatso was an airbending master, with decades of experience and training. If Zaheer could pull off that move after a week, Gyatso could easily do it in a small enclosed space.

[@codybarnes1531]

Im glad someone else mentioned this. Yeah when airbenders fight they usually use air to push the enemy away, all those fire nation soldiers where just at Gyatso's feet. The new live action show on netflix might actually answer that question of if he does or not.

[@mranima748]

Yangchen was the one who invented it iirc

[@willowtree9709]

I feel like if he was such a master, he could have removed the air from the area the fire nation were in and left the air in the bit he was in? It's not hard to localise the area where the air is removed from (around the earth queen's head), surely Gyatso could have just done an area around those soldiers and not himself

[@Alvaro89Rus]

it''s valid theory

[@peytonalexander5300]

@@willowtree9709 Honestly, it’s just an attempt to explain a plot hole. Gyatso being killed by firebending but having perfectly unburnt clothing would indicate that he must have been killed by some other means. Of course, it’s originally a kids show, so that’s likely the actual reason, but it’s at least fun to speculate.

I always find it amazing that Zuko is the great-grandson of Avatar Roku, is bestfriends with his reincarnated grandfather through Aang, while protecting and guiding the reincarnation of his grandfather/bestfriend through Korra.

Man, I'm really glad they gave Tenzin some time to shine. And he absolutely did. Zaheer may be incredibly skilled, perhaps even naturally talented. But none of that compares to a genuine master airbender. Zaheer is lucky he has his team, otherwise I think Tenzin would have completely bodied him.

[@Jeremy_theGent]

I love how the last line of Chapter 10 is "This is only the beginning." The murder of the Earth Queen and the downfall of Ba Sing Se is only the beginning, that's a hell of a statement. Also, Tenzin unleashed will always be awesome. The Red Lotus needed all four members to finally overpower him.

Notice how Zaheer doesn't even come close to beating Tenzin in a one-on-one fight. Yes, Zaheer's a natural prodigy. But Tenzin is the *only* Master Airbender in the world, and we've never seen him lose a single fight on-screen against anything but overwhelming odds. All Zaheer could do was stay alive and wait for his team to turn it into a four-on-one. I do appreciate them showing that natural talent is great, but doesn't let you beat an actual master. Aang was naturally gifted and ahead of Katara's waterbending when they were both just feeling their way through it, but Katara blew right past him as soon as they both got a proper teacher.

[@crybbyrosa420]

[@supermoogle07]

I’ve been waiting all season for this episode. It ends badly but all season Zaheer is shown as such a great air bender. A unstoppable force beating all he faces. Then he faces a REAL air bender master and gets rolled over the entire time. Shows how important it is to KNOW air bending when facing a air bender.

[@acereporter73]

At first, Team Zaheer got us jazzed to see a cool, dark mirror version of a Team Avatar... and then they came for Tenzin. They came for *Dad.* Ding goes the evil meter.

[@SeanBoyce-gp]

That's such a good point. Like, one of our heroes' dads is literally in play, but Tenzin is the spiritual father of the whole show.

[@AlephSharp]

So as of last episode you now know why Zaheer is so well-versed as an airbender: he was going to be the red lotus air bending teacher for the avatar. All his martial arts were based on airbending, which is why it only took a push to be fairly good at air bending. No where near tenzin of course, probably semi-equivalent with Jinora if anyone, tbh. But that fivht was 4v1 and they Still had trouble, and in 1v1 tenzin was winning. Id be willing to bet zaheer Couldnt take tensin's breath as a less skilled airbender. Also, season 1 finale had a murder-suicide

[@patrickwaldeck6681]

Absolutely the most brutal death in the Avatar universe. Finally we get to see what Monk Gyatso probably did to a whole room of comet-empowered firebenders all the way back in episode 3 of ATLA. Episode 11 really displays the difference between talent and mastery. Zaheer is an extremely good airbender, but he's no master. When he and Tenzin duel, Tenzin is using perfect spiral movements to minimize his economy of movement and dodge faster. Zaheer is jumping all over the place and throwing huge punches with his airbending, flashy and powerful, but not anywhere as effective. If that fight had gone on much longer, Tenzin would have had him.

the Tenzin v Zaheer fight reminded me of the quote "You can't truly call yourself peaceful unless you're capable of great violence. If you're not capable of violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless. Important difference". Tenzin threw down like a BEAST. He made me think of Gyatso with all the Fire Nation skeletons.

the earth queens death is one of the best "fight scenes" in korra in my opinion

[@Noam-xp1nv]

A little fun fact is that the technique that Zaheer used to off the Earth Queen was actually invented by avatar Yangchen(the air avatar before Aang) she was one if not the cruelest avatars but she is known in history as a saint and she is basically the role model for the “perfect avatar” although in reality she definitely wasn’t

"I don't mean death. I don't want anybody dead..." **Cue Clown Music**

[@wyvernhattori1811]

I remember being scared for Tenzin, too but I think Zaheer respects Tenzin, in contrast to the Earth Queen. Their behaviour is even the exact opposite with Tenzin being a leader but no king and while the Queen even shouted at her people to sacrifice their lives for her Tenzin did the opposite. I really love the villains of Korra, and especially Zaheer who has his beliefs and acts true to them although his actions are shocking and terryfying for sure.

There aren't many moments where we see a character with their back against the wall as much as Tenzin in this episode. The man's fighting for his people, his family, and for Korra all at once. It's a small wonder that he handily has Zaheer on the run, holds his own in a 3v1 against some of the most talented benders the world has ever known, and only goes down upon the intervention of a fourth who-- it's worth mentioning-- is far removed from the fight itself. There's every possibility that if P'li had been anywhere nearby that Tenzin would have been able to whoop her too. As mentioned, the man had everything on the line-- everything to lose-- and showed his strength in a handful of minutes. Easily one of the best fights in the Avatar world, and doubly so when you know the stakes. Speaking of people who really stepped up to the plate: Kai. His arc from selfish brat to selfless hero isn't over yet, but it really hits home here how much growing the lad has done.

Your stroking your hair suggest that you do have a little Gahzan crush! Along with a Ozai crush, Tenzin crush and I think a Zaheer crush too.

14:25 you shouting "DUNE!" right as a giant monster leaps out of the sand was hilarious

[@TheJerbol]

"I'm going to watch the next 2..." I LOVE the attitude here XD Hell yeah!

[@mranima748]

In terms of body bending, Firebenders could probably stop your brain by redirecting the electrical signals, airbenders (if skilled enough) might be able to bend the air pockets in your bones. With earthbenders, most of your body’s minerals are pure metals which can’t be bent

[@mranima748]

@@lilunette9319 not yet, I know there is a form of bone manipulation, but I don’t know which bending style it was

[@MaMa-up8sr]

The Ultimatum is one of my favorite episodes of both ATLA and Legend of Korra! 🥺😭🙏🏽💪🏽

24:21 Haha, ya put a mustache on her lol

[@adamcapoferri6903]

"I don't want anyone dead" literally killed me with laughter.

[@LidianeCordeiro]

FlilG: "Im so shocked that they killed someone in the show..." Amon, his right hand man, Tarlok, Tonrak, Wan: "Am I a joke to you???"
