Pai Sho Is More Than Just A Game! Avatar The Last Air Bender

[barleysixseventwo]

Then it turns out that the White Lotus gambit is just the Pai Sho equivalent to Bongcloud opening and that's why no one uses it outside of secret handshake stuff.

[NobleVagabond]

Their “handshake” is the opening of the lotus flower. Brilliant stuff honestly

[RHTQ]

Now we know why he was so worried when he had "misplaced" his white lotus tile. I wonder if the specific pieces used to form the lotus inform the other player abt what kind of help they need?

[CrazyQuilman]

The real genius of making this out of a board game? After the opening gambit and greeting, the host asks questions and the guest answers using the tiles as the remainder of the code. Genuinely brilliant.

Zuko quietly sitting down and watching the Pai Sho game with frustration is surprisingly relatable

[jieevz]

I love how the show paralels these characters, zuko is matched with Shin fu, two hot heads that like to take action first, and think later, and iroh is coupled with the partner of Shin fu,

The two teams stand against eachother, earth Kingdom and fire nation, bad characters on both sides, with so many similarities,

Avatar was so good in humanizing the villians,

I was wondering what that White Lotus gate keeper was just waiting there all day in the off chance one day a White Lotus member shows up. But I missed the beginning where Zuko notices the White Lotus gate keeper is actually a paisho hustler who makes his money accepting random challenges.

Oh to be part of an ancient secret society like this ...

[glitch]

The moment ATLA became something incredible

[tomaslopez]

So the White Lotus society is Avatar’s version of the Freemasons?

[kyleskendle]

it's weird he didn't recognize the grand lotus iroh and he's also in the white lotus

[sv]

Anyone after ATLA official channel community post?

[Setton_Exile]

1:00 Of course this was Back when The Order Was A “Secret Society” 1:08 instead of being “Out there” like in LOK

[RedJoker]

Wish we had something like this in real world.

[JabamiLain]

Now that I'm reading "Tanya the Firebender", I can't wait to see the final destiny of the White Lotus order. Being X has completely changed Iroh's praised destiny. We shall see if it still is on Iroh's side.
