Just realised, that the dragons showed the full potential of firebending!

Azula mastered one half of firebending. The part of emotions as inner drive, making her fire hotter and blue.

Zuko understood the more spiritual part of firebending. To understand fire as an extension of someone’s living energy and setting goals in order to achieve greatness. This changed the sound of his bending.

Zukos flames create a hissing sound after the sun warrior episode. In his final fight with azula you could even hear a roaring sound

[WatchThatFirstStep]

When Uncle Iroh explained to Zuko the balance of the four nations he also spoke of how benders of one element become more powerful by adopting the techniques of another element. He went on to demonstrate this with lightning bending, utilizing the fluid movements of waterbending which enables firebenders to briefly separate yin and yang. The waterbending aspect of the discipline is vital in the control of lightning as well as redirection.

When battling Hama, Katara used an earthbending technique. Along with the water going back and forth between them, there was a moment when Hama also drew water from large trees behind her and unleashed what would have been a devastating attack of volume and speed. Katara stood fast and obliterated the torpedo without a waterbending defense. Instead of seizing control of the water or blocking it with ice, Katara faced it head-on like an earthbender.

Wondering if you can explore other examples.

Fvck who is combustion man? He's name was sparky sparky boom

Fire bending has always been my favorite, I guess because I've always liked how Prince Zuko pretty much changed his fighting style based on his emotions and the flames always seemed different

[HelloFutureMe]

Really interesting point on Sozin's change to the culture of the Fire Nation! I really like the idea that he sort of corrupted the national narrative.

[yamaldunar]

Uncle was the nicest and the most intelligent character in ATLA. His philosophies are beyond beautiful and necessary.

[dommazzone]

I didnt like how LoK made lightning bending more common, I wish it was more seen as skilled and rare like how Iroh explains it

[christhewalrus]

Blue fire is from perfect combustion and is hotter than orange flames. Azula’s fire is blue because she is a perfectionist and a prodigy.

[emeraldmaster]

I really like how the fire nation was the most technologically advanced nation out of all of them because in our world fire is what allows most of our technology to even function
It’s why I like to think of fire more as a tool that can be used for innovation but if misuse could lead to destruction

[nagapandian]

Avatar could've definitely done with an expansion on combustion-bending and how it works. Iroh said at the start of the series that the core of good fire-bending is extending the flame past the body through the breath instead of the muscles, so combustion-bending could just simply be an advanced application of this that's innately difficult to grasp; it's effectively long-range fire-bending.

[pokemontas]

I still think that lightning and blood bending, and other special difficult techniques, should be rare and only done by masters, not the casual person. It's like, in another 50 years will everyone just be lava bending? 😫

Me: another avatar banger..

*FLAMEO* *HOTMAN* 🔥🔥

[KalaamNozalys]

Firebending allows you to do a kamehameha. therefore it is the best bending.

[choxoletyo]

So there's the underestimated, progressive, overpowered, and misunderstood




*BALANCE*

Exactly! Firebending can be used for a great and simple purpose:

[alexshih]

Why didn't you talk about fire-breathing? Iroh fire-breathing against Azula has to be one of the most badass scenes in the series.

[danielkudo]

you forgot the coolest part of fire bending. they can redirect heat from magma into stone rock (firelord sozin do this when helping avatar roku on the volcano). imagine this thing can easily become defensive technique against lava bending
