[DISCUSSION] Legend of Korra - Episode 9: Out of the Past

[-Haku Yuki-]

It could be explained that Yakone somehow 'absorbed' the ability to remove bending when Aang took away his bending and that due to his original bloodbending skills he is able to resist it almost completely. However that in itself is contradictory. On top of that for a person that's over 80 years old he's quite nimble, his voice changed and then he just took the bending away of his own son.

I just had some really whack, completely based on nothing, excreted straight from my imagination theory =DD A few minutes ago I realized that there's actually a bit of a flaw in the whole Avatar - balance - spirit world - real world thingy. The Avatar is supposed to keep balance to the world, but who keeps the Avatar in balance? As the Avatar is only one person, that's actually a complete 'unbalance' in that entire system. So what if when the Avatar spirit came to the real world, another spirit came alongside with him to balance him out. After all if someone suddenly gets the power to bend all 4 elements, it's not too farfetched to think that he's just going to use it for his own profit. So to keep that from happening this 2nd spirit had the ability to easily take away bending powers and was quite resilient against bending itself. With other words it was to keep the balance in check.

However because after a while, when the Avatar had been reincarnated so many times, he eventually was kept at bay by its own previous lives, making the 2nd spirit not needed anymore and forgotten. But this spirit too kept on reincarnating and eventually in this generation became Amon, who somehow realized his powers due to the trauma of losing his family.

...wot? Just a really wild theory for the fun xd



Putting aside the fact that Aang's spirit has been aiding Korra this entire time while she was fighting Amon and the fact that it makes no sense whatsoever that an avatar who saved the world, protected Republic City and has a no-kill and only-fight-as-last-possible resort policy?

nice theory. also anyone find sokka aang and tophs adult voices weird? i think sokka lost his funnies as an adult to it was great to see aang and the gang again ( minus zuko and katara ) did yakone kill toph and every one else in tahtr oom? why didi every one but aang fall down? was that tenzin next to sokka in the flash back ( i think it might but if aangs 40 at this time tenzin is 8 so who was the guy in air nomad cloths?) i believe amon saw aang steal yakones bending as a child and studied up on it shortly after his face burning. when he looked it up he found out about turtle lion which he sought out and learned energy bending from.
from promo
and did anyone else find it weird taht the aang statue somehow got a huge amon mask on it? also have a feeling when korra opens her eyes they will glow and amon will get his ass handed to to him and maybe his mask if korra rips it off his face in her rage.

and is there still an episoide next week?

 

[Edge]

There's something that no one has discussed, Amon said "Electrocute the box to knock her out" to his goonies.

How did he know that Korra was in a box and furthermore, how did he know it was made of metal when he was never downstairs?

 

[Kiiszame]

I understand what you mean. But the first time Tarlock tried to bloodbend Amon, Amon did struggle, but then continued walking. After that Tarlock tried to do it again. . . That's really confusing me. I don't know who or what Amon is, but it's driving me crazy xD. General Bo Fang (Butchered that spelling lol :3 the metal bending lady) should try to metal bend Amon, just to get these questions out of the way.

Yeah exactly I guess ll find out in due time exactly what and who Amon really is :shrug:

 

[TheArtisticRapture]

Amon is freakin awesome. But imo tarloc got taken from the series too soon

Out of everything we've seen from Amon, I don't think this should really be much of a surprise.

OT: Amon was such a badass in this ep. Can't wait to see what happens next week.

 

[kycoog]

1)i think amon is not yakone, whatever a villain yakone may be i dont think he would harm his own son
2)and also with regards to above discussion, when aang is 40yrs, its highly possibly he would have trained someone else also in the art of airbending(his children might not necessarily be the only airbenders) and in any case the one person next to sokka in the council might be air nomad monk(not necessarily a bender)
3) what i dont get is how did yakone bloodbend without moving any arms or body unlike tarlock? opening wide ur eyes is bloodbending? and anyways why THE HELL did tenzin and the rest of council let tarlock in without checking his background?
4) does anyone else think that tenzin needs to whip out his full power...i just love his character and think he needs to come out of "too peaceful" of an attitude?

 

[Korra.]

Tarrlock deserved what he got for hurting my Korra <3 anyway this episode was beast there was awesome flashbacks finally saw adult aang in action, amon got passed bloodbending which is boss, tarrlock lost his bending and there is a love affair xd

could you be caliburn? aside from the username everything seems the same. sig, theories, location (punk hazard) etc. if so, why change the name :|

OT: nice theory. and it seems possible.
but if avatar's bending ability were taken away, I think the circle would be broken and no more avatars. so it should be more complicated than that.

yakone's lawyer said that "bloodbending can only be done in full moon. yet the witnesses will claim yakone used bloodbending at every other time. except during the full moon."
so I think that this bloobending is different than what hama and katara did. I'm inclined to think that instead of moon yakone and tarlock are using a different source of waterbending. not just for bloodbending but for the waterbending itself.

but one other thing has caught my eye. yakone bloodbended everyone without any hand motion. just by wide-opening his eyes. considering this as well I think that one of the spirits itself is playing in this game. a spirit that has the power of waterbending.

now;
some theories were going around that koh the face-stealer was acting behind the scenes using amon. I'm beginning to think that's true, or at least real-close to the truth. and I'm throwing another theory, saying that tarlock and yakone had a different spirit guiding/helping them as well. and this spirit's waterbending is not moon-based. and maybe it's even the opposite of moon-based waterbending.

or a second possibility that the koh the face stealer is actually playing double. in order to get the avatar he's using whatever source is possible. both using high level bending and bend-stealing.

too far-fetched?

side note:
at the end of the episode it said "1 hour special coming at 23rd of june". in other words no episode next but we'll get 2 episodes the week after.


edit:
someone said something about the air-counsilman. I checked it but he doesn't have airbnding tattoos. so he's not an airbender. probably just a monk or a guru

 

[kycoog]

you cant rule out the possibiility that that person is not an airbnder completely. tenzin's kids dont have the arrow tattoo yet either maybe the tatoo is reserved for the ones who have mastered and are not in training......


i wish there would be an interaction between korra and aang (spirit form) like in original avatar's 4-part finale with roku, kiyoshi etc......

my last comment is--i dont think korra can reach avatar state...even thoug she is not a fully realized avatar similiar to aang(book 1 water), aang was more spiritual..example is it didnt activate when she was in danger with amon in a previous episode..but then avatar state is unpredictable and kicks ass...so it might kick in if she is in real danger

 

[Wesobi]

Now that I think about it, what about the Fish thingie that got killed at the end of the first season in the legend of Aang, and the princess that died to give it back its life? Maybe this has something to do with it.

 

[Jack Spicer]

Amazing episode as usual.

I loved the interaction between Amon and Tarlock. I really like Amon. His voice, reasoning, and his words are just wow moments.

Flashback was amazing. Councilman Sokka? Win.

 

[Jokey]

I loved it.

About the one hour special, you can see that Amon puts his finger on Korra while she screams (I found the scream horrifying to be honest) but then she opens her eyes wide open and see her pupil is becoming tiny, however, she then closes her eyes, I think that she will then get into the avatar state when she opens up her eyes, if that happens, we will be able to see an epic battle between the Avatar and the Equallist.

there are 36 forms of airbending. once you master all of them you get the tattoos. aang mastered 35 but then he invented that air-scooter thing and even though he couldn't master it he was given the tattoos because of air-scooter.

so yeah you are right, only the masters get the tattoo. but at that if he hasn't become a master, he'll probably never become one

 

[Caliburn]

I LOVE THAT ANTI-AVATAR THEORY, Crème Brêlée! You remind me of Caliburn. If you see him, tell him Lili said hi, haven't seen his sexy ass in a long time

I'm tastier Je suis la crème de la crème.

nice theory. also anyone find sokka aang and tophs adult voices weird? i think sokka lost his funnies as an adult to it was great to see aang and the gang again ( minus zuko and katara ) did yakone kill toph and every one else in tahtr oom? why didi every one but aang fall down? was that tenzin next to sokka in the flash back ( i think it might but if aangs 40 at this time tenzin is 8 so who was the guy in air nomad cloths?) i believe amon saw aang steal yakones bending as a child and studied up on it shortly after his face burning. when he looked it up he found out about turtle lion which he sought out and learned energy bending from.

and is there still an episoide next week?

Yeah, their voices are weird, but then again they are adults now. It would be even more weird if they still had their squeaky voices. And no he didn't. When he was trying to kill Aang he was sweating, so just to kill one person it seems it needs quite some effort, let alone he was able to kill all the other people with just his eyes. And Aang is the Avatar, so obviously he's not going to go down so easily. And no that was not Tenzin, Tenzin is too young to be that guy. If Tenzin was already born back then, he was still an infant. That guy was not an airbender, but it's confirmed that Aanb continued to keep the Air Nomad culture and way of live alive on Air Temple Island, so that was just one of the monks.

You don't really find Lion Turtles just around the corner you know. And no it's not weird, they just placed the mask on it and it's save to assume something is going to happen during that specific scene.

There's something that no one has discussed, Amon said "Electrocute the box to knock her out" to his goonies.

How did he know that Korra was in a box and furthermore, how did he know it was made of metal when he was never downstairs?

Because there is nothing special about it. Amon tracked Tarrlok to his hideout and he knew he had the Avatar and a metal cage, thus if he already knew all that, that he knew she was in a metal cage is normal. Also pretty much the only place where you could keep her locked away is a metal cage, so it's a logical assumption that she would be in one. He also stood at the door opening to the basement from where he could see the cage. So if he didn't knew it already, he would have made the connection there on that moment.

So there's really nothing special about that he knew Korra was in a metal cage.

It's a mod event, those are always temporary.

And as I said it was during the first cycles of the Avatar. It has been confirmed that there was a world before the Avatar came into being where they could energybend. So whether they would end the cycle or not wouldn't matter much at that point + they could always try to start anew with Avatar V.2

It's also possible that Amon somehow is just an energybender, just like in the time before the Avatar, which would be quite ironic as then he's actually a bender...but that's not nearly as exciting as my other theory xd

I'm pretty sure Yakone intentionally avoided bloodbending during a full moon to avoid suspicion as at that point it was assumed only during a full moon people could bloodbend. Though it's pretty lame that a skill that was supposed to be a secret skill developed by Hama now turned in some kind of KG ~_~ I could live with the metal and lightning benders, but that's quite lame without any proper explanation, though I don't think there is any difference. Hama and Katara needed the moon because then their powers are at their peak, but in theory that doesn't mean a waterbending can't do it without it if he's strong enough. I doubt there's also a spirit involved in the entire bloodbending stuff.

And about the episodes that's a bit unclear. Avatar wikia still lists for next week an episode and the week after it there's a double episode. Though that doesn't mean it's 100% true as they slipped up for quite a few days several weeks ago when there wasn't an episode. Problem is does a one hour special mean two or three episodes? As if it's just two, then we should get an episode next week, if three then we don't have one.

you cant rule out the possibiility that that person is not an airbnder completely. tenzin's kids dont have the arrow tattoo yet either maybe the tatoo is reserved for the ones who have mastered and are not in training......

We pretty much can as only airbenders who have mastered airbending get their arrows, that's a fact. Aang was a prodigy who got his arrows on a very young age, but all his friends did not have arrows. So how is it possible that someone who's in the council of Republic City would not have had his arrows yet? The reason as why Ikki, Jinora and Meelo haven't gotten their arrows yet is because they're kids who haven't mastered airbending yet.

Not to mention where would that airbender originate from? He's definitely not one of the Aang's kids, he does not have an arrow, you don't need to be a bender to become part of the council and we know Aang revived the Air Nomad society.
Aang can't just teach airbending to anyone, the person needs to be an airbender. Unless you're going to follow a very unlikely theory that somehow another airbender survived and he had offspring and what not, but that's extremely farfetched for just a short cameo of a character without any kind of worth in a flashback. Not impossible, but not very unlikely.

Now that I think about it, what about the Fish thingie that got killed at the end of the first season in the legend of Aang, and the princess that died to give it back its life? Maybe this has something to do with it.

Yue, the Moon Spirit? I highly doubt she would like it that a bloodbender is bloodbening her lovely Sokka.

Yue, the Moon Spirit? I highly doubt she would like it that a bloodbender is bloodbening her lovely Sokka.

avatar v.2. I like that xd it could be. it would be like "alright we're sending an avatar to keep the balance. if things don't go the way we want we'll remove the avatar itself." I pretty much liked this balance theory. I hope it's the real thing

yeah amon shouldn't be a bender. energybender maybe, but if he was a element-bender it wouldn't be any good.

yeah my theory is pretty far-fetched and yakone may have avoided using it during the full moon but both sokka and the lawyer stated that it's only possible during the full moon. in other words so far no one could bloodbend without the full moon. knowing that if only yakone could do it without the moon I could understand. thinking that the guy was one of the most powerful waterbenders in the history, but also his son? that's why it seems fishy.

and also "waterbenders can only bloodbend during the moon". it appears nowadays everyone knows about bloodbending and also whenever there is full moon there are puppet shows going around the world. that pretty sucks. for me accepting metalbending and lightning-bending was already hard. but this...

edit: some things I forgot.

when I talked about the "spirits" thing yue crossed my mind too. no way she'll go against aang, sokka or the gang. aang was the one who saved the "moon." and I doubt yue seeks revenge because sokka is with suki

it's probably 2 episodes. and I said it basing it on the "next episode" part that's shown after the credits. there it said "season finale, 1 hour special, 23rd of june"

it may be something like "we'll have the 10th episode next week. then the week after we'll release a 1 hour special and end the show."

though I believe no episode next week, 2 or 3 episodes (probably 2) the week after

 

[Yugure]

Good Episode My guess is that Amon has something similair ot bloodbending, how else would he be able to resist it?

it's probably 2 episodes. and I said it basing it on the "next episode" part that's shown after the credits. there it said "season finale, 1 hour special, 23rd of june"

it may be something like "we'll have the 10th episode next week. then the week after we'll release a 1 hour special and end the show."

though I believe no episode next week, 2 or 3 episodes (probably 2) the week after

blood bending is common knowledge now because of aang and the groups adventures. They stated that aang told the stroies to every one jinora "read" about them so its in writing even the story of Zukor mom is known to almost every one ( except us :|) don't see why he would skip over the blood bending part escapillay for the fire nation people that it got used on and some fire nation people knew about it since it was used on them. hama is part of their stroy in the fire nation so they told people about it ( probably unknowing that someone would be able to use it without being taught) and if not maybe korra will ask about blood bending when she wakes up.

also creme cailburn buggiesbunny whatever if there was someone to balence out the avatara who would balence out this avatar 2.0? it would continue forever because there'd need to be an avatar 3.0 for 2.0 and a 4.0 for 3.0 you get my point no?

also there IS a new episode next week check your guides or check the wiki

and at bold its like she is pissed at him for that and tahts the whole reason why this is happening right now xd

i still think that Amon is:

1) Aang's body (BODY, not soul or mind xd)

2) Father of Mako and Bolin

3) Korra's secret twin (i know what you all might say xd)

4) Any of Aang's children



personally, i wanna know who Amon is more than i want to know who Tobi is xd

Now that I think about it, what about the Fish thingie that got killed at the end of the first season in the legend of Aang, and the princess that died to give it back its life? Maybe this has something to do with it.

i think u mean the moon spirit...and i dont think so.....moon spirit gives power to all waterbenders but the full moon is necessary for normal bloodbending....but yakone and tarrlok displayed bloodbending without the presence of full moon as korra says so i think moon is not a matter...as sokka says that might just be an ability yakone's family has...like combustion man also....it might not have anything to do with spirits

btw if kora deals with amon in season 1(book air) what will happen to main antagonist in season 2? any thoughts

I think that it's possible that Amon is an energy bender that'd make sense.

Also I'm pretty sure Korra is gonna go into avatar state in the finalle...mostly because in ever finalle of the other series aang went avatar state and she has to do it at least once in a season specially since she finally connected spirtually to a past avatar.
