- 0:27Speaker 1: one air blades a more offensive move than is typically
- 0:32Speaker 1: used in airbending. This involves a focused, slicing air current
- 0:35Speaker 1: that can cut through stone or timber with relative ease.
- 0:38Speaker 1: This is frequently conjured with a staff rather than the body,
- 0:42Speaker 1: using the narrow profile of the object to create a
- 0:44Speaker 1: more focused and precise air movement. Number two air cocoon.
- 0:50Speaker 1: A master airbender can rotate while jumping to wrap themselves
- 0:53Speaker 1: in a cocoon of wind. This was demonstrated by Tenzen
- 0:56Speaker 1: to dodge one of Mnghua's ice spikes and protected him
- 0:59Speaker 1: from a potent, stually fatal combustion blast from Pli. This
- 1:02Speaker 1: technique utilizes an airbender's trademark fluid and dynamic movement style.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Number three air propulsion. A skilled airbender can propel themselves
- 1:13Speaker 1: forward at a great speed by negating the effect of
- 1:15Speaker 1: wind resistance. Avatar Kora used this in the Avatar State
- 1:19Speaker 1: during her battle with Kuvira Number four airspout, similar to
- 1:25Speaker 1: the water spout master. Airbenders are able to rotate and
- 1:28Speaker 1: control the direction of an air spout enough to levitate
- 1:30Speaker 1: themselves off the ground and remain in the air for
- 1:33Speaker 1: as long as they wish to or can maintain it.
- 1:35Speaker 1: The first known use of this technique was by Avatar
- 1:38Speaker 1: Wan during the battle in the Spirit Wilds, when he
- 1:40Speaker 1: generated an air spout shortly after fusing with Rava in
- 1:43Speaker 1: an attempt to mediate the escalating conflict. Avatar Wan would
- 1:48Speaker 1: later use this technique to mediate the warring human factions
- 1:51Speaker 1: after harmonic convergence by rising himself into the air while
- 1:54Speaker 1: bending the other three elements. Avatar Roku used this technique
- 1:58Speaker 1: in order to speak face to face with the other
- 2:00Speaker 1: fire Lord Sozan, who is suspended in the air by
- 2:02Speaker 1: an Earth column. In one seventy A G. Tenzen used
- 2:06Speaker 1: an air spout when he fought several Equalists who tried
- 2:09Speaker 1: to abduct him at City Hall during the battle for
- 2:11Speaker 1: Republic City. Avatar Kora later used this technique while in
- 2:15Speaker 1: the avatar state at the South Pole, and again during
- 2:18Speaker 1: her duel with Kubra. Number five air vortex, a spinning
- 2:24Speaker 1: funnel of air of varying size. The air vortex can
- 2:27Speaker 1: be used to trap or disorient opponents, as well as
- 2:30Speaker 1: to deflect any objects thrown at it. Ang used this
- 2:33Speaker 1: technique to form an air column during his duel with
- 2:35Speaker 1: Boomy to throw aside a large Boulder number six airwake.
- 2:41Speaker 1: By running in a circle and instantly building massive momentum,
- 2:45Speaker 1: a master airbender can shoot a blast of highly compressed
- 2:47Speaker 1: air shaped like the user's body at a target. This
- 2:50Speaker 1: move seems to have extremely high concussive force. It was
- 2:54Speaker 1: first used by Aang in the Crystal Catacombs against Zuko.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Number seven. As phyxiation a rather sinister technique of airbending,
- 3:03Speaker 1: whereby an airbender manipulates the flow of air within a
- 3:06Speaker 1: person's respiratory system, extracting it from the lungs via the
- 3:10Speaker 1: nostrils and mouth, and prevents any new intake of breath
- 3:13Speaker 1: by forming a ball of air around the head, thus
- 3:15Speaker 1: eventually killing the victim by suffocation. The technique was first
- 3:19Speaker 1: demonstrated by Zahir on Earth Queen hauting to lethal effect,
- 3:23Speaker 1: and he later used it on Avatar Korra, though it
- 3:25Speaker 1: was interrupted before she could suffocate Number eight levitation. In
- 3:31Speaker 1: the same way flying bison can fly and stay aloft
- 3:34Speaker 1: for extended periods of time, a master airbender can achieve
- 3:37Speaker 1: the same feat by generating and controlling air to form
- 3:40Speaker 1: a cloud like board under their feet and surf through
- 3:43Speaker 1: the air, thereby simulating flight number nine Tornado. This smaller
- 3:49Speaker 1: scaled version of the air vortex, which airbending masters can
- 3:52Speaker 1: use as a means of both combat and transport. By
- 3:55Speaker 1: encircling themselves in a spiraling air current, masters can travel
- 3:59Speaker 1: at high speed and even ascend near vertical drops. Is
- 4:02Speaker 1: demonstrated by Aang during the Battle of Wulong Forest, where
- 4:05Speaker 1: he narrowly avoided a lightning blast by fire Lord Ozi
- 4:08Speaker 1: by creating a mini tornado and moving to the top
- 4:11Speaker 1: of a rock column. Ang was also seen wielding this
- 4:14Speaker 1: maneuver on the offensive against Combustion Man at the Western
- 4:17Speaker 1: Air Temple, where a Sum in the tornado with a
- 4:19Speaker 1: kick in midair to conjure a powerful ranged attack. When
- 4:23Speaker 1: several airbenders work together, this technique can also be used
- 4:27Speaker 1: to create a much larger and more powerful tornado, such
- 4:30Speaker 1: as when Genoa and the New Airbenders used it to
- 4:32Speaker 1: save Cora from Zahir. Number ten Air sphere. With this technique,
- 4:38Speaker 1: the Avatar creates a sphere of air around them, allowing
- 4:41Speaker 1: them to hover for extended periods of time or fly
- 4:43Speaker 1: at high speeds. The sphere also acts as a barrier
- 4:46Speaker 1: to protect the Avatar strong enough to withstand a high
- 4:49Speaker 1: velocity impact with rock. Ang was also able to use
- 4:52Speaker 1: this technique under water, forming a protective pocket of air
- 4:55Speaker 1: around several people in a flying bison. Roku used a
- 4:58Speaker 1: variation of this technique when defending his island from the volcano,
- 5:02Speaker 1: and Juan and Kora both used it to restrain Vatu
- 5:04Speaker 1: in their respective battles against him. Number eleven Strong winds.
- 5:11Speaker 1: It is possible for the Avatar to unleash extremely powerful winds.
- 5:15Speaker 1: During the battle at Wulong Forest, while extinguishing three enormous
- 5:18Speaker 1: fire whips, Ang unleashed a straightforward wind attack at Ozai.
- 5:22Speaker 1: While Ozai seemingly did not take much damage from the hit,
- 5:25Speaker 1: a nearby rock pillar crumbled and collapsed in a matter
- 5:28Speaker 1: of seconds. This move was also used by Avatar Kyoshi
- 5:31Speaker 1: to create Kyoshi Island, using the powerful winds to push
- 5:34Speaker 1: the land mass into the sea. Number twelve Tornadoes and hurricanes.
- 5:41Speaker 1: In addition to large and powerful air movements, an Avatar
- 5:44Speaker 1: level airbender can create massive tornadoes and hurricanes at will.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Yang Chen demonstrated this as part of showing the power
- 5:50Speaker 1: the Avatar state had. Number thirteen. Air scooter. The air
- 5:57Speaker 1: scooter is a form of transportation invented by Ang in
- 6:00Speaker 1: two BG. It is a spherical ball of air that
- 6:03Speaker 1: can be ridden balancing on it like a top. He
- 6:05Speaker 1: used the technique in many episodes, usually to provide quick
- 6:09Speaker 1: bursts of speed, as well as to overcome vertical surfaces,
- 6:12Speaker 1: including the battle on the Fire Nation drill in order
- 6:15Speaker 1: to scale the Wall of Bossing Say. The air scooter
- 6:18Speaker 1: also allowed levitation for short periods about five to ten
- 6:21Speaker 1: seconds in a stationary position. The air scooter was seen
- 6:24Speaker 1: in the opening credits of every episode except the first,
- 6:27Speaker 1: and at first appeared in an actual episode when Ag
- 6:30Speaker 1: used it to escape Zuko's ship. It was AG's invention
- 6:33Speaker 1: of this technique that subsequently earned him his tattoos and
- 6:37Speaker 1: title of a master at such a young age. He
- 6:39Speaker 1: taught the move to his airbending friends, and despite initial failure,
- 6:43Speaker 1: they eventually mastered the art well enough to develop a
- 6:45Speaker 1: game that requires the use of the air scooter. Aang
- 6:48Speaker 1: is also capable of conjuring an air scooter from little
- 6:50Speaker 1: balls of air. As an adult, he could create air
- 6:53Speaker 1: scooters that were larger than those he conjured as a
- 6:55Speaker 1: child and could ride them while standing upright. Air scooters
- 6:59Speaker 1: are not restricted to holding a single rider, as they
- 7:01Speaker 1: can be used to transport others as well. Number fourteen
- 7:05Speaker 1: cloud manipulation. Since clouds are made from air and water,
- 7:10Speaker 1: a skilled airbender can easily manipulate them into various shapes. Ang,
- 7:14Speaker 1: with assistance from Katara, demonstrated this technique during Team Avatar's
- 7:18Speaker 1: stay in Makapu Village to provide a message to the
- 7:21Speaker 1: nearby villagers, and he later did the same to disguise
- 7:24Speaker 1: their flights on Apa while moving about the Fire Nation.
- 7:27Speaker 1: During the era of Rava, citizens of Airline turtles were
- 7:30Speaker 1: able to create cloud platforms on which they could stand
- 7:33Speaker 1: and fly around. Number fifteen hypersensitivity, due to being capable
- 7:40Speaker 1: of perceiving subtle shifts and vibrations in the surrounding air currents.
- 7:44Speaker 1: Airbenders can detect approaching threats, which gives them a split
- 7:47Speaker 1: second increase in their reaction time, similar to how earthbenders
- 7:51Speaker 1: use seismic sense. Because of this, air nomads traditionally shave
- 7:55Speaker 1: their heads as to free themselves and have a stronger
- 7:58Speaker 1: connection with the wind around them. Tensen demonstrated this technique
- 8:01Speaker 1: when he was able to detect and evade and ambush
- 8:04Speaker 1: by Equalists on the roof of City Hall during the
- 8:06Speaker 1: battle for Republic City. Daw also demonstrated it during a
- 8:10Speaker 1: battle with Bison rustlers, which he perceived and evaded an
- 8:13Speaker 1: attack behind him by sensing the oncoming threat number sixteen flight.
- 8:20Speaker 1: The ability to fly was originally exclusive to the flying
- 8:23Speaker 1: bison and air lion turtles. However, Guru Lehema was able
- 8:27Speaker 1: to unlock the ability by releasing himself of all his
- 8:30Speaker 1: earthly tethers, achieving true and complete freedom. The technique is
- 8:34Speaker 1: so rare that he was the only airbender in history
- 8:37Speaker 1: to have ever achieved it until Zahir, a student of
- 8:40Speaker 1: Lehema's teachings, also unlocked the ability four thousand years later
- 8:44Speaker 1: by letting go of his last earthly connection, namely his
- 8:47Speaker 1: girlfriend Poli following her death. Being able to fly without
- 8:51Speaker 1: an aid such as a glider grants the practitioner more
- 8:53Speaker 1: stability and freedom in the sky, while also permitting easier
- 8:56Speaker 1: use of bending mid flight. It is also an energy
- 8:59Speaker 1: of fision technique, as it allowed Leahima to live the
- 9:02Speaker 1: last forty years of his life without ever touching the ground.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Although a powerful technique, the ability is hindered by additional
- 9:09Speaker 1: weight in the currents of the wind. Number seventeen gliding.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Although all airbenders can levitate or extend jumps via airbending,
- 9:19Speaker 1: most if not all airbenders possess a glider for mid
- 9:21Speaker 1: range flight. These handcrafted, portable wooden canvas structures can collapse
- 9:26Speaker 1: into a staff for storage and as an aid when
- 9:29Speaker 1: bending and glider form is used in conjunction with bending
- 9:32Speaker 1: to fly as long as the bender has strength to
- 9:34Speaker 1: maintain the air currents. With stronger winds, multiple people can
- 9:38Speaker 1: be carried for short distances. As a normal staff, it
- 9:42Speaker 1: can be used as a weapon in battle, to aid
- 9:44Speaker 1: in bending, and even as a levitation aid when spun
- 9:46Speaker 1: above the head like a helicopter propeller. By one seventy
- 9:50Speaker 1: four ag these glider staffs had been replaced by wingsuits.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Ang used his glider for windsurfing, but later destroyed as
- 9:57Speaker 1: damage glider, though it was replaced at the beginning of
- 9:59Speaker 1: the u s invasion of the Fire Nation by a
- 10:01Speaker 1: more advanced version created by the machinist in his son TiO,
- 10:04Speaker 1: which can also dispense snacks when the handle is twisted.
- 10:08Speaker 1: When visiting Roku's pass during the summer Solstice, Ang saw
- 10:11Speaker 1: a younger version of his old mentor, Monk Giazzo, using
- 10:14Speaker 1: a variation of the usual flying, utilizing the glider as
- 10:17Speaker 1: a makeshift board to surf on air number eighteen. Spiritual
- 10:22Speaker 1: Projection Master airbenders who have a strong connection with their
- 10:26Speaker 1: spiritual side are capable of projecting their spirits into other locations.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Through projection, an airbender is able to explore underground or
- 10:33Speaker 1: sealed locations by passing through solid matter. Airbenders can also
- 10:38Speaker 1: use this technique to find individuals with whom they have
- 10:40Speaker 1: a strong bond during harmonic convergence. Genora used an amplified
- 10:45Speaker 1: variation of this ability to assist Avatar Coorra during her
- 10:48Speaker 1: battle with the Dark Avatar. She used the technique once
- 10:52Speaker 1: more to find where the day lie imprisoned airbenders, embossing
- 10:55Speaker 1: Say and later again to find a way to escape
- 10:57Speaker 1: the red lotus. Did you do you enjoy our video,
