Korra vs. Kuvira's First Fight ⛰ Full Scene | The Legend of Korra

In Korra and Kuvira's first battle, Korra knew she was coming in at a disadvantage–– while Korra was still in a place of healing and recovery, Kuvira was at the top of her game! Despite the powers of the Avatar state, Korra's own self got in the way of victory and she suffered a devastating defeat. Regardless, this battle is certainly one of the greats in Legend of Korra!

Korra's voice actress in the studio recording 500 takes of "AAAH" and "UHHH"

[TARTARSAUCE-nr]

Kuvira really is an experienced bender. Shes agile, powerful, and delivers NASTY counter attacks. Shes really underrated

[mxchael]

it makes sense why korra lost, she lived with poison in her body for 3 years, leading to not making a full recovery. this was her first actual fight since zaheer, so she's still getting back at it - like an injured, boxer who hasn't trained in a while fighting a match. not to mention still dealing with her loss of connection to the past avatars. girl went through it, and they expect her to bounce back like nothing happened.

[OceanHedgehog]

This fight really highlights Korra's shortcomings, even aside from the PTSD and physical trauma. She treats her bending attacks as simple extensions of arms and legs; a thrown boulder is just an extended punch, a gust of air is just an extended kick. She doesn't really demonstrate too much creativity (like Kuvira hitting her from multiple angles, controlling her limbs, shifting the ground underneath her, etc.).

1:31 love the little detail. While Korra’s rocks are simply misshapen blobs, Kuvira’s are perfect rectangles. Great way to show how precise and in control she is in contrast to the avatar.

[maxusgaming]

Korra left herself wide open at way too many spots and Kuvira was more than happy to exploit each and every one of them while breaking her down mentally. She's a bending genius.

[TheWarriorVA]

I may not be a fan of LOK in the slightest. But even I have to admit that Kuvira is one of the most stylish and pleasing to watch Benders in the entire series. That smooth and clam motion with the cocky and collected domenior almost reminds me of a more sane Azula in a way. Love her.

Love that detail of Kuvira realizing something’s wrong with Korra.

[utkumazgal]

She uses her bending as if it is an art. It is a privilege to watch her fight.

[qs]

I like how kuviras fighting style is similar to boxing, she’s uses slips and rolls to reduce movement and use of her stamina, she also uses footwork to make her opponent attack and tire themselves

[phisalaymang]

This is what I mean when I say the villains made the show. Kuvira is one of my most favorite characters in the avatar universe

[lorderik]

Other than Korra's PTSD and recent recovery, I think Kuvira's greatest advantage here is the fact that she spent nearly her entire life honing her earthbending skills to their absolute limits. Korra, on the other hand, had to learn all 4 elements, meaning she had to spread out her training to use them all. In a nutshell, Korra can be considered a jack of all trades, while Kuvira is a master of one.

[jasonramirez]

Kuvira really is a powerful metal/earthbender, for not having special abilities like flying, taking bending away or a dark avatar boost. My favorite villian in the series.

[xx_minie]

I love that korra fights like an mma fighter. shows her history and what generation she’s from without even needing context.

[berengerdietiker]

"I know you're a little rusty."
"Looks like the Avatar is a little off her game."
"Come on, Avatar! Get up! Show me what you've got!"
"I knew you were weak."
Kuvira sure knows how to goad her opponents, if nothing else.

[wqij]

Seeing this makes me realise how strong kuvira actually is using metalbending.

[chifffy]

crazy that symbolic of her not using ANY waterbending is her not playing reactively at all- its all aggression

[sir_will_iam]

I wouldn't ve surprised if Kuvira is actually a descendant of Avatar Kyoshi. She is so savage and brutal.

[nicholasortiz]

I love how korra just trying to brute force every attack. Always being predictable. While kuvira is extremely resoursful and creative with every movement

[tyroned]

Korra really showed a lack of mastery and adaptability in the use of any of the elements in this fight. She just lashing out with all the elements using basic attacks. While Kuvira and Zaheer with only one element showed their mastery and adaptability of their elements in their fights. They showed that having those qualities made you formidable against any element even the avatar.
