She's probably Kuzon's great/grand daughter. His friend Aang use to visit him all the time in the fire nation. He probably would of protected air nomads out of friendship and could have married one. The writters love that kind of intergenerational links.

[@randomgamerdude98]

People that got airbending after harmonic convergence in Korra probably had air nomad blood in them. Thats my theory by the way

[@liamnehren1054]

also she was really protective of the circus, I wouldn't be surprised if they were the air nomads.

[@aaanimations_]

@@randomgamerdude98 what about kya? according to your theory she would have turned into a double-bender

[@randomperson8375]

@@aaanimations_ we can assume that already being able to bend an element would prevent the air-bending from taking root there, on account of the whole "people can't handle bending more than one element" or whatever the justification in Legend of Korra was when they felt the need to explain the origins of bending and the Avatar. imo I think double-bending would be really cool, with only the strongest benders being able to bend two elements once they have gained sufficient mastery over their original bending. Bending is already kind of like martial arts, so why shouldn't the most proficient fighters be capable of using two different styles with enough training?

[@aaanimations_]

@@randomperson8375 LoK was just weird in general, it changed too many plotholes with spirits and some people suddenly gaining bending, like the spirits being good/evil instead of neutral like they were in ATLA, the lion turtles and how people randomly got bending without them, the whole concept of lavabending being a combination of earth and firebending, etc.

[@Orangenkraft]

Why couldn’t the Air normad part of Ty Lee's heritage have come pre-genocide? Firebender mom and airbender dad fell in love, mom couldn’t take the lifestyle, took her kid back to the Firenation. Kid went on to have kids, not knowing of their heritage

[@ThatOneLadyOverHere]

One of the sisters of a more recent Fire Lord was not a fire bender and in an effort to prove her worth in her cut throat family she learned the same chacra technique as Ty Lee from an AIR NOMAD. It is canonically an air nomad technique! Which just further proves the theory! It is such a convincing theory for so many reasons!

[@robinkholmes7127]

This is awesome

[@FemkevanDrooge]

Makes complete sense too because it's a defensive technique - perfect, in other words, for a pacifist who believes in not hurting other people, exactly the philosophy that the air nomads hold to.

[@BagAlert_MajorBagAlert]

Or Ty Lee is a descendant of said sister. It was stated she was a noble

[@desmondschwartz3830]

THANK YOU I was waiting for him to mention it, and then went onto other things and missed the most important part

[@jordanwright5307]

But it sadly doesn’t die to the fact that before the war air nomads taught children blocking and air nomad culture to nobles of other nations so far more likely her family just learned the technique and has passed it down as I doubt an air nomad is marrying into fire nation nobility without someone knowing I mean they set traps to catch air nomads for a reason

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

If the rumors about Ty Lee were true, then I wished that Aang and Ty Lee had interacted more.

[@7753558]

If Ty Lee was a relative to the air nomads I think Aang would be the one to see it

[@gajeelnats1151]

😏

[@santosic]

@8 My headcanon is, since I wholeheartedly believe that Ty Lee is a descendant of an Air Nomad, is that that is why she and Aang never had any interactions with each other, as that would confirm that is the case and the writers wanted that to be an unconfirmed thing. Like, I don't think they actually talked TO each other directly. I'd like to think that if they had some alone time he would've noticed immediately she was an Air Nomad, or at least, had their qualities in her. Knowing/recognizing your own kin and all that. At the very least, make an offhand comment about how seems to have that Air Nomad spark in her to Katara and Sokka, which they'd ponder on for a second and then ultimately dismiss.

[@Maholix]

Exactly. Interestingly this distance is what keeps him still true to the title of the last Airbender. While Ty Lee may actually be a nomad she doesn't actually act as an air bender. She might have been a great one and even been receptive to it, but she isn't quite one. She doesn't have the knowledge or training to TECHNICALLY be one. What she practices is similar and is close, but is her own, being something more akin to a martial juggler. I like to think of her as almost discovering air bending on her own never quite. If she had the proper instructor, I think she would have transitioned, but she never quite gets there. It's actually a bit tragic, because she would have been happier if she had gotten to speak to Aang. I have always seen her as a cautionary tale regarding toxic friendships.

[@niloticnya]

Kiyoshi’s mom was also a nonbending air nomad so it would be cool, esp since Ty Lee became a Kiyoshi Warrior

[@MrMetallix]

I like the live actions explanation for how it happened. All of the air nomads gathered at the southern air temple to celebrate the comet festival… it also explains why the southern air temple is the only one that looks totally wrecked and covered with skeletons.

[@ham1sh99]

I think the west air temple was the very first to fall, and fell very easily so maybe that one was empty. But the north temple was taken over by the inventor and his refugees so they probably cleared the skeletons. And the east temple was home to the guru for at least 2/3 years and I can imagine him taking time to give the air nomad remains a more dignified resting place. And with that I’ve decided I need to get out more cuz I’ve not left my bed the last 48 hours re-watching the series😅

[@Cailus3542]

Yeah, but all of them? The elderly, the infirm, the infants? The other temples were completely abandoned? The Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes didn't shelter any air nomads? I love the (animated) show dearly, but it is a plot hole.

[@voxorox]

I don't think it meant Ty Lee was a septuplet. Just that her six sisters all looked almost exactly alike. And probably so close in age that it would be hard to tell who's older.

[@drrobotnik44]

she said they looked exactly like her

[@JOVONO]

Yeah idk I always figured that her and her sisters just looked alike not that they were septuplets

[@MastarNinja]

They are identical. We saw them in the comics and the only visible differences was the colour of their clothes.

[@voxorox]

@@MastarNinja Don't have to be septuplets to be "identical"

[@MastarNinja]

@@voxorox By identical, I meant in the literal sense. They are copy/paste version of each other, with only the colour of their clothes changing. There's no height difference, no different hair style (unless having your ponytail on the right instead of the left count as different), no different face features, etc. They are essentially all clones. Even them all taking different hobbies was explicitly so they could get some form of individuality because they are all good at acrobatics too. Ty Lee just decided that acrobatics was "her" thing and the others had to chose something else like Origami and dancing.

[@nerdybirdy8768]

Zeisan (Sozin's sister) was not a fire bender, was engaged to an air nomad (Khandro), and had a love interest (Rioshon) who she learned Chi-blocking from. It wouldn't be too farfetched to assume that Ty Lee could be Zuko and Azula's 3rd cousin they might not have known they had.

[@SilSolo]

Or that they do know they had but downplayed the air nomad ancestry

[@InvaderZinga]

@@SilSolo I don't think they'd know. Maybe Ozai and Iroh would know. Cuz Zuko didn't even know his mother's grandfather was Avatar Roku, Iroh had to tell him.

[@SilSolo]

@@InvaderZinga true could be like they know they’re distant cousins to Zuko and Azula but that’s about it.

[@DaxxBlack99]

I also believe that in Legend of Korra, when suddenly people around the globe started to get airbending, they were descendants of air nomads and opening the spirit world unlocked their bending.

[@elmersado5002]

Thats actually true

[@gracealice7288]

I'm of the opinion that Ty Lee IS an airbender, or could be. I think the way she moves hints at her being able to bend the air to 'fly' as she does, but since she is from the fire nation, she was never taught to nurture this ability, so her abilities are limited and self-taught. I also think Azula isn't dumb and knows this too so sees her as a good ally since she can use these abilities to her advantage in combat but also keeping her close so she can watch her and make sure she doesn't fully develop her potenital

[@aduckofsomesort]

Or it could be she has just learned to control her energy. You don’t have to be a bender to understand and use your chakra. Everyone has energy.

[@kaleahcollins4567]

I always believed Ty Lee was an air nomad hence why she is naturally light ( like air) on her feet .

[@robinkholmes7127]

Plus her sunny optimism, general passivism compared to Azula and Mai (She doesn't really hurt anyone just immobilises people) and being the only one who talks about auras.

[@Xjebin]

It just doesn’t make any sense

[@adelheidbreidvik]

I think she might have the ability to bend air, just that she dosent know it. That why she can jump almost as light and long as Aang

[@azrael6683]

@@adelheidbreidvikor she pulled a Jedi survivor

[@epionemichaelis6857]

Could you do a theory video about how Yui was supposed to be the next avatar if the genocide never happened? I think the time line would add up if Aang lived out a whole lifespan? Also, it could explain why she was born the way she was (like without a spirit because she shouldn't have had the moon spirit as a part of her if she had a spirit of her own)

[@IdaSantti]

Uuu, interesting

[@pancakeparatrooper9361]

i think it’s possible. aang would have had to live to 96

[@matthewmusco2581]

Kiyoshi lives to be like 230 by using an earth bending technique, so her long life would’ve created at least one if not 2 other hollow spirit vessels like Yue. It’s a cool theory I’ve seen floating around for a while but I think it’s very unlikely.

[@brayloncooper9092]

thats not how reincarnation works

[@ariici]

@@brayloncooper9092bro you dumb asf. After the Avatar dies Rava goes to the next element and already has a predetermined person in the future. Which is why Yui is very sick and doesnt survive until the moon spirit gave part of itself to Yui which was because of Rava contacting the moon spirit to make sure Yui would be alive after Aang dies but because of the circumstances Aang still lived on after the predetermined death and also is why Yui was so easily transformed into the moon spirit and how she was so spiritual was because she was supposed to be an avatar but didnt.

[@abramisme]

I like how they answered that question in the new show. Apparently they were all having a festival in the Southern air Temple to celebrate the comet.

[@DrewWutsit]

42:44 Leaving us all to ask, will the real Painted Lady, please stand up?

[@WistfulDread]

Here's how I treat Air Nomads: The Air Nations was 2 distinct and Separate cultures. The Airbender Monasteries, and the non-bending nomads. Bending is far more spiritual and religiously connected for them than the other Nations, so by wiping out the Temples and their knowledge, even if air benders are born, they have no guidance to actually properly learn it. Even the Bison were thought gone.

[@keyblademasterclark]

I actually really like how the live action show explained the success of the genocide and it's something kind of backed up by the original in a subtle way because you only ever see skeletons at the southern temple.

[@kaleahcollins4567]

Like Osai used to tell them Azula was born lucky ( her power and ability despite being a girl not expected to rule) zuko was lucky to be born ( being a boy and heir by birth)

[@Kyoko123]

Wow. Haven’t gotten a rec for this channel in a long while, and it’s a compilation of old theories. XD Y’all should cover broader topics, cuz I miss the energy. Totally agree with the Ty Lee and Ummi ones.

[@samwiseplaysyt485]

You should do some ATLA what if videos!

[@Jimmyd2107]

Your guys' best Avatar theory was definitely the one about the current Avatar looking like the previous Avatar's love interest, sorry to see that one not in the top 5 but these ones are also all really cool - especially the one about the Painted Lady Being Avatar Kurruk's Fiancee ^_^ A great watch thanks Ben and J!

[@SomeRandomKydd]

Theory#4 - Umii also has the qualification of knowing healing as that is what water bending females in the north pole were taught. We never actually learn if she is a bender at all or not, but it wouldn't be hard to assume.

[@saiyasha848]

This is one of the changes that I found actually sensible in the LA one. All the Airnomads gather for the Comet, which is why it was much easier to wipe them all out at once. Even with that, youd probably have _some_ stargglers, but not half as many

[@laser8389]

I think Aang traveling the world at 11 was partly because he was the Avatar. Like, sure, they're nomads, they all travel, but him making so many connections to so many cultures is because he's supposed to be connected to all the cultures.

[@CoolMan1_SonicAndOtherStuff]

I've been seeing this theory for awhile now, and YES! I definitely think ty lee is an air nomad!

[@robinkholmes7127]

Well descended from them, There'd be some serious inbreeding over 100 years and only a few air nomads around if she'd be pure air nomad by blood.

@@robinkholmes7127 exactly!! Which is why she isnt fully airbending but has the agility of an air nomad

[@SomeRandomKydd]

Theory #1 - I always suspected that the sandbenders were the result of genetic mixing between earth and air. It just makes sense since that is literally it. Aside from under the fire lord's nose, the desert is the last place I would waste resources searching.

[@williamembly3635]

Take that a step further i5 would explain bolens lava bending, a mix of fire and earth. My theory is that explosion or combustion would be a mix of fire and air.

[@mayoraeryn]

I've always thought it was more similar to what Iroh did, where he studied the other elements and developed his own ways of utilizing aspects of them. I wouldn't doubt it if at some point (way before the air nomad genocide if I had to guess), an earthbender chose to study the air nomads, and as a result, sandbending was created

[@MadChatterYT]

I feel like Monk Gyatso used a forbidden air bending technique. Some say he removed all the air from everyone in the room, maybe he created a high pressured air blast that messed up everyones organs

[@nitromiyazaki]

Don’t forget the fact that Chi-blocking is a style that originated from airbenders to begin with.

[@NerdySpice]

The new live action series came up with an explanation for the argument in the first theory. In the new series, the air nomad's were having a celebration for the comets' appearance, and they all went to the southern air temple. And they were all there when the fire nation attacked.

[@peteryanes3413]

[@jasonwork559]

100% agree. She has an air nomad grandparent or great-grandparent. Almost certainly would have to be her great grandma.

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

34:39 also even if Sozen had killed the tweleve year old avatar it wouldnt have helped since we know the way the avatar cycle works is AS SOON as one Avatar dies (lets say in this case as soon as Aang is killed by Sozen) the next Avatar is born so you would then have to search for that Avatar since they're born as soon as the previous one dies.

[@peteryanes3413]

They did though he was why they were killing water bender after

[@KrausHaus0]

Sozin’s sister embraced air nomad traditions, even marrying one. And it’s noted that was increasingly common for nobility before the Hundred Year War in the ttrpg source book. Also Sozin’s sister was a chi blocker, would be crazy if Ty Lee was Azula and Zukos 2nd cousin

[@BagAlert_MajorBagAlert]

They just proved this! In the live action, firebenders propel themselves up onto the air temple

[@kawliga9890]

So a theory I have that goes along with Ty Lee being a Air nomad is that her ancestors happened upon a airbender kid sometime during the purge. Maybe one that hadn't gotten their arrows yet. They then adopted them and raised them as their own child.

@@EdgbertPrice24 I remember hearing something a long time ago about this series and how it took the writers and producers a long time to just to make one episode because they wanted it to be so in depth and true to certain ways they were portraying fighting styles and how they correlate to the bending to make it more real and meaningful so this theory isn’t super far fetched , especially when this show is known to have so many hidden meanings behind things .

[@ecocentriclife]

​@@Kaydeep94they could probably start by digging into the various known Avatars to find commonalities. Like, how they described the previous water avatar in this video felt like he had a similar bold rashness as Korra which is interesting. Maybe there are other shared traits across the group and between elements, other than just a likelihood to be selfless and think for the greater good

[@TristonNightshade]

(*Potential spoilers*) I like how the live action tv show did it. There's essentially a holiday and all the air nomads gather to view the comet. Creates a perfect space for Sozan to strike at least most of them, then if he spends the rest of his life hunting any other nomad down he'd essential have "destoryed the air nation with sozans comet". It doesnt say he either did or didnt have to hunt down survivors later

Another point came from LoK. Aang married a Waterbender and in 3 attempts only produced 1 airbender.... technically 2 but for half the show Bumi was a non bender. If an airbender married a firebender then only produced either non benders or firebenders, she'd still have the Air Nomad blood but not the Airbending.

as a chef and reformed pyro the red part of the fire isn't actually a big deal to touch.

I actually think she IS an airbender. She just makes it look like normal fighting. She found a way to focus her blasts on specific nerves. It never mentions how strong she really is but she’s thin and doesn’t do many strength based things so maybe instead she has help from something supernatural to get that extra strength to activate these nerves.

[@Coverfiregamingnow]

I think the live action depicted it perfectly. The fire nation catapulted themselves up to the air nomads

[@lady_draguliana784]

I thought similar things about the fate of the Air survivors. The extrapolation is that the awakened Airbender's were descents of Airbender's from their travels, who still held the 'spark of connection' to the air spirit of the turtle lions, but that weren't strong enough to grant them bending... *until* those sparks were fanned to life by spirit energy, which flooded into the human world due to the opening of the gate like fuel pouring into a room with scattered embers, ready to light.

[@Woolwine]

They set up traps to convince Airbenders that they were another surviving Airbender and that’s how they killed everybody that wasn’t at the temple
