One of the greatest Avatar episodes period.

Djibril

19:10 my new favorite reaction

User100

He was able to fly because P'Li was his earthly tether. Once she was killed he could become wind

Big Daddy Dre

I can’t give sheera this one😂 him lava bending was obvious as hell

Anonymous

We get the finale tomorrow ?? LIT

LeadingCEO

Zaheer flying is the best thing I've seen in this show period. Makes perfect sense that the element of freedom's ultimate move is to be free of gravity, and Zaheer achieved this when he lost P'li

Anonymous

Yet another dark death in Korra. Murder suicide in the first season, suffocation of the Earth Queen, and they literally blew P'li's head! By the way, there is an old Russian military command "Pli!" (Пли!), which means "fire" or "shoot" for artillery, at least since 19th century. Now i don't know if this is actually an inspiration for the character's name, but, considering her abilities, seems like an interesting coincidence =)

Big Daddy Dre

Y’all really thought the nigga throwing rocks was a firebender😂😂

damein brown

They should just put the final episode out and start fresh Tuesday with season 4

Jason Balogun

Lavabending being part of earthbending makes complete sense when you realize waterbenders can control ice and melted ice (water), so why wouldnt an earthbender be able to control earth and melted earth (lava). Its just the same element in a different state of matter

LeadingCEO

The poison is liquid metal btw (not a spoiler, as I immediately clocked it looks just like mercury)

Ken Dillon

Kuvira is the captain of the metal clan security force. Su Yin was giving her a bunch of orders in the episode when Aiwei disappeared. Kuvira kept coming back to give updates, and Lin would yell at her to do more. I dont remember if she was named there or not, but its that character.

Devin B
>>43251464

Lol for real. First time we saw dude he use the little rocks Zaheer gave him and he turned it into lava.

Andrew Rojas

Lavabending is done by vibrating rocks so fast it causes intense amount of friction creating heat and magma.

Ian Lurke
>>43253193

Bruh, it kills me how you have to explain this lol. You learn lava (or magma) is earth in elementary school. And the water benders freeze water almost in every fight lol. But this reaction is by far my favorite Korra reaction they have done.

Ian Lurke

Best reaction to Korra! Can't wait for the finale! You guys are literally the same way the first time I watched this.

Oui Oui

You heard her name before because she was introduced earlier in Book 3

Brock Percle

Thank y’all so much for dropping the last ep tomorrow instead of next week! I will gladly keep giving you money lmao

Dous Dous

I always thought Lava bending had to do with Bolin have earth and fire bending parents since Mako is his brother so on rare occasions you get that lava if you’re an earth bender. Since they knew lava bending was a thing yet it was never taught widespread like metal and other bending forms I always assume it was a rare genetic thing.

godUsoland

This season was amazing, yet Nick decided to fuck over the show regardless. Odd showtimes, taking it off TV, and even cut their budget, while asking for more episodes.

Alan

Nickelodeon like "Woah, you just a killed a woman in kids tv!"

Larry Vos
>>43257236

I've always liked this theory. In the ATLA season 1 extras, they said lava bending was a technique the avatar could use because it combined fire and earth bending. But then in season 3 extras they called it a rare earthbending technique. I didn't like how they retconned that but that's why the fire-earth lineage theory is a good one and reconciles their two statements. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense for almost no other lava benders to exist. At first, I thought lava bending was gonna be one of those uncle iroh type things where you invent a new bending technique by studying the other elements (which would be very in keeping for the Red Lotus too so it would've fit perfectly). Basically just how iroh learned to redirect lightning from studying water benders, Ghazaan could have invented lava bending by studying fire benders or something. But then Bolin just randomly has the ability as if it's an innate thing rather than something you can learn and teach yourself to do thru discipline and practice. He never showed that deeper understanding though so it's gotta be genetic. But even though LoK has gone in on the genetics aspect (e.g. specifically Yakone's bloodline being able to bloodbend without a full moon), they haven't made it so that there are straight up mutant benders born with unique abilities. Even the combustion benders have tattoos as if they've gone thru some training of sorts to develop their skills.

Nikki C

I JUST realized Ming Hua's voice is the same as Azula's (Grey DeLisle)

Varun Narayanswamy

I wonder if Bolin's lava bending comes from the fact that he has an earth bending father and fire bending mother. Probably

Mahmii

Well, to Sheera’s point in the intro, Tenzin decided to fight them before they fought Tenzin. So at first, it was self defence, THEN it became a beating

Kurumi
>>43253445

Yea they’ve said her name numerous times already like we they want us to remember her so bad lmao

CuteAdorableDog

also remember bolin has a fire nation mother and earth kingdom father food for thought

Ian

You can call me, kuvira

Chai Tea

To understand lavabending, think about water benders. Water benders can control the temperature of water by freezing it (Ice) or boiling it (steam). The same can be done for other benders. (For example Tenzin alluded that air benders can adjust the temperature around their bodies) A lava bender heats rock till the point it melts and becomes magma. Bolin likely has this trait (rather than metal bending) due to his parents being a firebender & earthbender.

Anonymous

Bro the way I screamed when he said damn he likes trees 🤣 had me crying for a good 5 minutes

Adam Vialpando

I mean, it has shown Ghazan earthbending many times. His very first scene showed him lifting rocks and THEN turning them into lava. He was in a wooden cage like Toph was for goodness sake. They wouldn't put a firebender in a wooden cage.

Justin Baker

BRO at 19:12 they ALL sighed at the exact same time when nobody would listen to Kai 😂😂😂

No0neAtAll

All Hail the Great Uniter.

Lettttsss goooo sheeraaaa!!! I swear she a goat. Always calling it out before anyone lmao.

godUsoland

Amon, Tarrlok, Unalaq, the Earth Queen, and now P'li. Aang would be traumatized with all the deaths in this show lol Meanwhile, Korra doesn't mind killing people :D (Remember the Water Tribe Judge in Book 2)

Jonathan centeno

So I have theory about lava bending....🙇🏻‍♂️ now let us begin Mako and Bolin are mixed father is from the Earth kingdom and Mother from the fire Nation now they are the only other mixed benders we’ve meet so far....Now! Is it possible that mixed benders can possible gain subset bending from the other parent Now I know what your think how is it Gazan able to lava bend....I’m glad you asked good motha fuckin question I shall dive in....Gazan is one part of the Red lotus which is a evil discount branch off of the White lotus a man who was part the white lotus started them which I’m only guessing people followed him into the group....white lotus is a group made up of all nations and benders Earth, Fire, Water, and now Air Soooooooo....does that mean Two people from the Red lotus that were part of the white being a man and woman one Fire nation and the other Earth kingdom made some sweet bending love and then Suprise Motha fucka Gazan was born!!!! Which creating the subset bending Lava Also note that the only other lava bender besides Gazan and Bolin was Avatar Szeto which is from the Fire nation BOOOM!!!!!

• ᴢᴇɴɪᴛsᴜ •
>>43276944

Gazan can lavabend because he is an Earthbender, fire has nothing to do with Lava, since Lava is just heated up Earth. Gazan grinds the rocks so fast that the friction melts the earth and turns it into lava, the same for Bolin. Fire nation heritage has nothing to do with it.

• ᴢᴇɴɪᴛsᴜ •
>>43268838

Lavabending has nothing to do with Firebending, Lava is just melted rock. Bolin having fire nation heritage doesn't contribute to him being a Lavabender. It's just grinding Earth until the point of it melting.

• ᴢᴇɴɪᴛsᴜ •

Idk why everyone seems to think Firebending has something to do with Lavabending, as Lava is just melted rock. Gazan and Bolin grind earth extremely fast to melt it, thus creating lava. Then, they bend the lava as they choose.

Khalil Huq

I always saw it as every bender has the ability to shift the temperature of their element. Fire is an obvious one, temperature change is literally how you bend the element. Air is the element of freedom so it makes sense that temperature changing is possible (airbenders controlling temperature of air currents around them). Water is the element of change and so shifting temperatures is common (water to ice). However, earth is a stubborn element as Toph says, so shifting the temperature and the state is the hardest which is why there are so few lavabenders.

Awaab Adam

I think the way earth benders are able to lavabend is by manipulating the temperature of the earth piece itself. Similar to how waterbenders can manipulate the temperature of water to be as freezing as ice, as cold as snow, or as hot as steam in the air. Also as similar as how Azula was able to manipulate her fire so hot it turned blue, and how firebenders are able to lightningbend, a fire so hot its pure. One thing to point out is, just like lightning and metalbending, it's a high level bending technique that not everyone can do.

Awaab Adam
>>43269595

How ironic would it be to put a firebender in a wooden cage lmao. Also I really don't understand how they didn't catch onto the earthbender getup the guy was wearing, it's literally staring them in the face lol.

Jyromaniac

We actually have seen lava bending before in the last air bender. Avatar Roku does it. Also a few of the avatars shown as well do it. This is a good vid to show. https://youtu.be/3p_Hidbz9C8

Corey Pearson

Cool thing on why Bolin can potentially Lava bend is that his mother was from the fire nation and father earth nation so fire bending and earth bending technically runs in both sides of his family. The same thing may be the case for the dude who lava bends. I know that it may have nothing to do with it but the writers themselves never said that wasn't a possibility on why only certain people can lava bend or have the capability to do so. Otherwise, many earth benders would be able to pick that up like metal bending but I don't think that's the case.

Faiz Khan

lava's molten rock lmao

Jordan

Science aside, I just thought it made sense since Bolin’s mom is a fire-bender and his father is a earth-bender.

Cablemonkey
>>43260711

It’s that one line “why didnt you ever tell us you could fly?” It’s like she forgot who she was doing and slipped into full Azula mode.

Sheraya san

my pushback on what sheera was saying at the beginning was that Zaheer did approach the air temple and rounded them up to all sit around and wait for Korra. it was Tenzin who said no and began fighting them first to escape

Society

I think that lavabending works on the same principle as icebending in terms of temperature

Ron

Dude reupload this please it’s not working

HesOneShot

Bruh said he unlocked his mangekyou lmaooooooooo

HesOneShot

I think i read somewhere that these particular episodes was aired online on Nickelodeon website instead of tv because characters was dying.. and all of Season 4 was aired online too

Hoodlum JoeBro

19:12 this needs to be a gif. Whenever some fuck shit happens this will now pop up in my head 😂

Hoodlum JoeBro
>>43273632

It’s funny, those deaths don’t traumatise her, but the next episode does. Fitting lol

Jigga Man

Lava bending is just accelerating the movement of rock to the point it becomes heated and molten. I believe any profecient earth bender can learn to lavabend much like how they can metal bend.

RM

Episodes 11, 12, and 13 of this book really set the bar even higher with each episode. They are truly animated masterpieces imo and it’s a real shame that they moved it to online during its original showing (fuck Nickelodeon). But again, just wanted to point out some side comments: -The fact that Korra has decided to give her self up first rather than face this problem head on with no plan really shows the growth in her decision making since S1. -Again, this episode had me on the edge with a character possibly dying. Notably Tonraq when he and Korra are saying their final words and Lin when she comforts Su and goes out to distract P’li. -The shot of the metal clan force with Su and Lin climbing up the side of the mountain was an amazing camera shot, especially in animation -P’li’s death, holy shit. Still remember the first time I watched it. Was in disbelief, especially since they were already ballsy enough to do the Earth Queen’s death -Roshi and Lupa’s reactions of Korra at 10:31 had me grinning so hard as well as 11:40. The support is real 🙂 -Thank God for Jeremy Zuckerman (composer of all the music in Korra). The red lotus theme is such a badass theme and every time it plays during the fight scenes it makes it that much more epic. -Tonraq’s slowmo at 14:37 was epic af -The simultaneous BRUH reaction they all have at 19:12 was so funny 😂 -Ming Hua’s “Why didn’t you ever tell us you could fly?” sounded exactly like Azula hehe -When Zaheer says I am no longer bound to this earth by worldly desires he’s basically saying he has no attachment to either Ghazan or Ming hua meaning he doesn’t really care about them lol

Zaheer's girl got blown to P'lieces.

Anonymous

Tbh one of the things I like more about Korra is that imo the villains are better bc they have more valid reasons rather than Ozai just being a dickhead

MackeyMoose

So. I've been waiting to say this until this ep. Anyone ever realize how Zaheer never fought Korra one on one? (she's chained and still gave him problems). Zaheer was smart and used tactics. Like how Tenzin would have clapped Zaheer if the battle kept going, Korra would have also clapped Zaheer. People don't give her credit because she always goes against exception benders in the most disadvantageous situations. It's how the show writers nerf her.

Will Jones
>>43294963

As someone that was watching this show on a weekly as they were being released originally, I can very much confirm for you that Nick did shift the series to online. Pissed a lot of us off doing it because we had to look for the rest of the series.

Oron Bar

Lava bending is an extension of Earth bending, Bolin can Lava bend because his parents were an earth bender and a fire bender. Avatar Roku and Avatar Kiyoshi also had the ability.

Drake Chuckle

Y'all ever wonder how Flying Bison fly? This airbending technique has been staring us in the face since episode 1 of ATLA.

Pablo

Nooo gotta wait for next week 😩

SupremeCai

Kuvira been gettin screen time. You just haven't noticed "Guard with Mole" before ;) And they made a change/retcon to lavabending. In Atla it was *alluded to being a* Firebending specialty but as you can see with Gazan/Bolin, it became a Earthbending technique. They never address it so lol

Killjoy
>>43321509

It’s not related to his parents since he’s not a fire bender, it’s just a sub category of earth much like how water benders can turn water into steam or ice

rileya
>>43329174

I never really looked into it but just thought that firebenders can probably control lava/magma to some degree, similar to how earth and waterbenders can both control mud

SupremeCai
>>43331821

She don't know that, was knocked out/kidnapped before she saw him saved D:

Malcolm Washingon

I'm so hear me out. Zaheer was going thru the same thing Aang was. He had to learn detachment to reach a higher understanding and truly master his discipline. But where Aang was mastering Avatar state, Zaheer was trying to fully embody the freedom and chaos of the ever changing wind. So when girl died, his last real attachment was severed, and he became truly untethered from the earth. His strength is more earned than korra getting handed avatar state mastery after season 1 because it is clear fully half is character is obsessed with Airbender philosophy and doctrine. And it makes sense the student of the free-est element would be the one on the Anarchy train. Zaheer is tied with Tenzin and korra(her power scaling sucks but otherwise her character arc is great. Cept for the whole being handed avatar state. That's kinda trash specially after what Aang had to do for it) for best written character

Otter Mane
>>43345746

What do you mean by her being handed avatar stare but Aang wasn’t? I mean yeah he had to get it again after losing it but he was always able to do it before he froze in the ice. I don’t see how that’s so different for Korra as far as privileges or not.

Senjioh

I am hyped for this finale

I'm fiending for the finale lol

Still WAITING

when they still salty bout korra

Unalaq: I teamed up with the greatest force of darkness in the world to destroy raava and the past avatars

Ambros

Half the fandom: Korra how could you do this

Shamar

Bolin discovering he was a lava bender was my favorite moment in this episode

Lupa is Dadi

Damn roshi. Kinda missing the plot with korras dad right there.

Justin Neason

Guys, Sparky-Boom woman WAS his earthly teather- It's kinda like what the guru was telling Aang about letting go of Katara

Jimmy Martin

You know, it just dawned on me that Zaheer's letting go of his Earthly tethers is a lot like when Aang was training with Guru Pahtik and had to let go of his Earthly attachments

Madison Hagan

P'Li aka Sparky boom woman was Zaheer's earthly tether. Her Death meant he had no more personal attachments.

CatBRO
>>43417200

Yeah, it's not that hard to grasp in my opinion - that's another thing why monk-style enlightenment is so hard to reach. No one is gonna argue that genuine love is a bad thing, but it IS an attachment that you can't have when you wanna reach enlightenment in many eastern-philosophy beliefs.

CatBRO

You might call their height difference weird, but i love the creators choices with this. It is subtle but not in your face how they challenge some clicheés. Women as well as men are often stupidly fixated on height (aka taller boyfriend, smaller girlfriend) when there is no logical reason for it. I might be going off on this right now, but i just wanted to applaud that choice. I'm not small or anything either but i've heard enough woes of friends "i can't find the right one" and then they go like "ah he's good but he's so small, i'd just like my BF to be taller is that too much to ask" (and the reverse too) ........ Girl? you got problems ...

CatBRO
>>43281534

I'd say it's more likely that it just isn't taught, known to be a possibility to most. The same way metal bending was always possible but believed to be impossible before Toph. She founded the first academy for it during her youth and as we can see it is becoming more common. Su even stated her believe that every earthbender can do it with an open mind (which would make sense) Bolin as well as everyone else was surprised to encounter a lava bender - so it is probably just very uncommon, not known and most people don't try it or wouldn't know how to go about it.

Larry Vos

Had to wait to make this comment till they started season 4 but I totally forgot Kuvira was in this season! All hail, the Great Uniter!

>>43421109

aang couldn't let go of love or hope of love at the time he probably would have been able to become like wind like zaheer if he did

Stanley Labissiere

From all the goodbyes Korra had, the one with Bolin hit the most :(

Herewego

Bolin earthbending son of a Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation couple. Theory is he can lava bend as he is an earth bender with fire bender heritage.

How could they not remember all the times that Ghazan earthbended...his first appearance Zaheer literally throw him rocks to get out of his wooden cage...

Anonymous

My favorite thing is rewatching so I can see P’Li get clapped 😂😂😂

Cori Curry

Dude Ghazan earth bended so many times 🤣

Mary L.

Roshi and Lupa's reactions to Bolin lavabending mere SECONDS after Sheera called it is hilarious 😂😂😂

Yigit Giray Asik

Aang could never fly because he would never let go of Katara

Juvan

Bruh what was good with sheera & David on this reaction 😂 😂😂

NomadSha

What IF Only mixed children can lava bend! Think about how Bolin & Mako are brothers. One is an earth bender, the other a fire bender. What if Bc bolin is mixed with both bending styles he was born with this rare ability. Maybe Ghazan is the same.

cheezeblade

Something to keep in mind, yaang Chen told aang that detaching yourself completely from the world is the goal of true freedom that air nomads aspire to. But that the avatar can never do it which means flight is both the ultimate goal of all airbenders and also the only known “bending discipline” the avatar cannot achieve.

WackySwacky
>>78311346

Yeah, Aang could technically fly in the avatar state by wrapping himself in an air bubble, but that's not the same as true flight, like what the Air Bison do.
