When Iroh teaches Zuko how redirect lightning, he instructions Zuko to move the lightning from his arm, down to his stomach, and out the other arm. Iroh called the stomach the “Sea of Chi”, or a vast ocean in Irohs case.
In Zuko’s final Agni Kai with a Azula, he is able to redirect the lightning, but at great cost. Zuko wasn’t able to maintain proper form when he was jumping in to save Katara, and got hurt and a chest scar as a result.
My theory on how Zuko got that scar is this: Zuko didn’t have time to redirect most of the lighting through his arms. Instead, he caught most of it directly in his stomach. Then from the stomach, he could release it from his other arm. However, Zuko got very hurt because the lighting burned through flesh on its way to the stomach.
My Evidence: His chest scar is exactly over where his stomach should be.
I've been playing a lot of "Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" and this is my idea of what a "Bionicle Version" would look like. You'd go to the different temples to gather each element, and the Nuva Gauntlet would change color depending on what element you're using.
Let’s talk about Zuko. And since it’s October, let’s talk about “Creepy Zuko”. And how Ozai’s abuse has effected his children.
Sokka and Katara: Stick Figure Style
There have been a lot of fans who are unhappy with how much the world of LOK has technologically advanced in the last 70 years.
While at the same time, other fans argue that major technological changes in 70 years is completely plausible, and sight recent history.
The issue here is that people keep comparing LOK to real life. A story isn't meant to be 100% realistic; otherwise we'd have very few "happily ever after".
The real issue is that the world of Avatar has changed so much that many fans no longer feel connected to it. It's going back to a favorite restaurant and the menu has completely changed. Or picking up a favorite game, only to find the rules are so different that you can't play anymore.
Regardless of how a franchise changes, there will always be people who feel confused or left out. Fans should be empathetic toward each other, and not try to tear down someone just because they have a different opinion.
Major changes in 70 years are completely realistic to our modern day, but that doesn’t mean it's enjoyable. If you asked an 80-yr-old what they thought of the present day, You'll find that many are unhappy with how much has changed and the struggle coping with that change.
LOK isn't reality. It's a story. And the main purpose of every story is to be enjoyed.
How big is the ocean on the other side of the Avatar world?
We can find out how big the ocean on the backside of the Avatar world is by using these maps from LoK. According to my calculations, the backside ocean spans from about 140 degrees to 220 degrees, making it 80 degrees wide. This is about a quarter of the globe. To put this in perspective, the backside ocean would proportional be about the same size as our Pacific ocean.
Maps are from LoK S3 ep 2 & 11 respectively.
A while back there were a lot of YouTubers talking about what they would do if they were a Pokemon Gym Leader. This made me start thinking about what I would do as a Gym Leader and what my badge would look like.
I decided that my gym badge would look like a fusion of the three legendary beasts. Even if this fusion wasn’t a real Pokemon, I could still have statues of it outside my gym.
This 4th legendary beast also represents part of the burnt tower story as well as being a fusion. Raikou represents the lightning that struck the tower. Entei represents the fire that engulfed the tower. Suicune represents the rain that put out the fire. The 4th beast represents the steam that came from the tower and the clear sky. And finally, Ho oh represents the rainbow.
If he were a real Pokemon he would be the Fire/ Water type to represent steam, have have some interesting abilities from being a fusion. He would be known as the “Cloud Walking Pokemon” and have the ability “Cloud Walker” and the secret ability “Thunder god”.
Cloud Walker: Makes the Pokemon resistant to flying-type moves and immune to ground-type moves.
Thunder God: Electric attacks are increased by 1.5, this Pokemon cannot get paralyzed, is immune to electric attacks, and if it is hit with an electric attack then its special Atk increases.
Slightly Morbid Pokedex Entry: This Pokemon can fly through the sky by walking on clouds. It eats clouds in order to power the cumulus cloud on its back, and is well known for hunting Swablu.
Design: He is heavily inspired by the mythical “Pixiu” from China. The Pixiu is a god of wealth, which goes nicely with Pokemon “Gold” and “Silver”. He is also insipired by Shisas, Foo Dogs, and other dragon dogs. The cumulus could on his back can darken into a storm cloud, or grow into a cumulonimbus cloud.
Colors: The design on the left is the normal version, while the one on the right is the shiny. The colors in the normal version are inspired by the daytime and a Mountain Lion, while the shiny is inspired by the night and a black panther.
Sorry, I just couldn’t resist.
Sadly, I’ve actually had a conversation like this.
I think people forget how important “family friendly” entertainment is. It’s something everyone can cherish and enjoy, not just people who have a desire for violence.
