- While Aang was struggling to come to terms with his role in ending the 100 Years War and the implications of his final battle against Firelord Ozai - he called upon his prior Avatar incarnations for help. Avatar Roku, Avatar Kyoshi, Avatar Kuruk, and Avatar Yangchen didn't exacty tell Aang what he wanted to hear, but their sage wisdom was still impactful in helping Aang shape his own path and ultimately deciding to take away Ozai's bending.

Ngl I love that Aang loosened up a little when talking to Yangchen, he must've been psyched to actually talk to another Air Nomad
It's my favorite piece of this segment.. He probably felt so much comfort in the familiarity of the presence of another Air Nomad
It's so true, its honestly adorable yet sad. I hope he got to talk to more air nomad avatars after the finale
@@hannarose96 I also hope he asked them more about his people so he could try to restore his culture...
When the past avatars vanishes, each of them vanishes with a sound related to their birth element.
Roku with the sound of fire burning
Kyoshi with the sound of stones
Kuruk with the sound of water stream
Yangchen with the sound of wind flow
Such a cool detail !
I never noticed that!!! That was a great find
NICE ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Cool 😎
Thanks
Aang: avatar kyoshi I need your wisdom
Kyoshi: I KILLED CHIN THE CONQUERER
And you should do the same with the firelord or i will take control over your body and do it myself
@@martinjuarez7332 "I knew I shouldn't have asked Kyoshi..."
@@martinjuarez7332lmao facts!!!!!
If Kyoshi could’ve possessed Aang the series would’ve lasted 5 episodes. The 4 until he gets to Kyoshi island and the 5th where Kyoshi goes straight to Ozai’s Palace and sends him and Azula flying off into space.
That's what I liked about that sequence. The advice from all of the avatars was not what aang was expecting.
I like how none of the avatars give Aang the answer he obviously wants them to say.
He even thinks yangchen would agree with him given their shared ethnicity, but she persuades him by reminding him of his duty
Except, ultimately the advice is the answer. Morally they all agree, however they differ in how they carrying them out. Aang is decisive, involved, self sacrificing, and serves justice in his solution.
There is a word for what aang is trying to achieve and killing the firelord was in the way of that goal, that word is called moksha but there is a contradiction here. Aang is the avatar and he is supposed to reincarnate into the next element in the elemental cycle but achieving moksha would mean being free from reincarnation, if aang achieved moksha, that would be the end of the avatar cycle, this is why yangchen says "but the avatar can never do it, your sole duty is to the world.".
@@cordisdie8109 Yeah. She was basically saying "The Air Nomad's teachings don't apply to you, because you are the Avatar." Which is true. Yes, the avatar reincarnates into one of the four nations, but they mustn't focus solely on their own nation or teachings. This also comes into play during the original confrontation between Roku and Sozen, when Sozen states he is Roku's fire lord and he must be beholden to him, but Roku is the Avatar, thus he is beholden to no nation, but the entire world.
To be honest, one of the only critiques I have of avatar is the energy bending deus ex machina, part of aamgs character arc should have been being able to do his duty as avatar and ending someone's life to keep balance in the world
@@AzureKyleYangchen fails to realize Aang is the LAST airbender. The Avatar’s duty is to bring balance to the four nation. Aang is the last living embodiment of the air nomads. If he goes against the teachings of the Air Nomads then that culture ceases to exists. His circumstance is different from Yang Chen or any Avatar.
In the end he took all of the avatar’s advice. Advice isn’t telling you what to do, it’s trying to help you forge your own path, and Aang did just that.
Yes sir
@@silvery2850⁷
That sounds like something iroh would say to Zuko
A great thing to say, and accurate as well. I have even learned this in many seminars in university.
Yes, he took their advice into account but is one of those Avatars who remembers his roots.
Roku’s advice is a critique of tolerance.
Kyoshi’s advice is a critique of pacifism.
Kuruk’s advice is a critique of apathy.
Yangchen’s advice is a critique of dogma.
What meaning of aphaty and dogma?
And pacisfm
@@dendinovrisya7159pacifism is the belief that violence is never justified
@@dendinovrisya7159apathy is not really caring or showing little interest. Dogma can be any beliefs you accept as fact
Kyoshi's advice is a critique of perfunctory actions. She basically told him to do what works, sometimes that's embracing violence and other times that's rejecting it as long as the result is just.
I love how Kyoshi’s advice is basically telling Aang to grow a spine and just merk Ozai.
Well she's right. Aang's biggest fault is that he is a spineless coward who's too naive to do what needs done. At least people actively feared kyoshi. Only people that fear aang are only based off the propaganda or if they saw his power in the avatar state.
@@michaelbracho3956I didn't realize being compassionate meant being spineless.
@@c.evans1804 you can be both, and he IS both. The ending is very weak part of Avatar. It should have been darker, he should have killed Azai thus sacrificing his own needs and finally stopping being a child. This is the duty of the avatar, after all.
@@SwordWieldingDuckhe was 12 years old
@@SwordWieldingDuck TV show aimed at 10 year olds. It would be the better ending, but it was never gonna happen.
Aang: Technically, Chen fell because he was too stubborn to move
Kyoshi: Personally, I don't care.
And Personally, Aang wants them to agree with him rather than them providing their opinion of killing the fire lord.
@@user-pi1lb4tf2f He is a child. Literally.
No, she doesn’t see the difference which is a big distinction. She is saying that there is no difference between causing a death and killing someone. She is removing a way out in Aang’s mind
@@sjcal629Nice
She was taking away Aang's little loophole.
Yang chens advice gets me all the time
I get chills everytime
I wonder how she had to learn the lesson of needing to sacrifice her ideals in order to properly perform her job. I know some novels just came out for Yangchen, so maybe it's explored in those? Also, being the Avatar is so sad. You have such a huge weight of responsibility thrust onto yourself without a choice in the matter. I bet every Avatar gets a version of Imposter Syndrome or something at some point until they finally embrace their identity and role in the world.
Makes me want to cry you can never reach enlightenment as the avatar you must give up everything for the world
There is a word for what aang is trying to achieve and killing the firelord was in the way of that goal, that word is called moksha but there is a contradiction here. Aang is the avatar and he is supposed to reincarnate into the next element in the elemental cycle but achieving moksha would mean being free from reincarnation, if aang achieved moksha, that would be the end of the avatar cycle, this is why yangchen says "but the avatar can never do it, your sole duty is to the world.".
Hits harder if you’ve read either of the novels about Yangchen.
"Avatar Aang, I know that you're a gentle spirit, and the monks have taught you well, but this isn't about you..." Gets me every time.
The hero must be prepared to save everyone as pride is a sin
Aang was inadvertently not just thinking about himself but also about the culture of the Air Nomads that only is surviving through him.
Exactly, I love her. She was right and gave him the reality check he needed. In times of great struggle sacrifices have to be made. Sometimes we have to go against our own instincts and beliefs to do what needs to happen.
Yangchen's advice shows such a deep understanding of Buddhist/Taoist traditions, which often emphasize that enlightenment, while an admirable spiritual goal, shouldn't be one's only or primary goal in life. In fact, Lao Tzi consistently emphasizes that obsessing over spiritual pursuits or trying too hard to achieve enlightenment is the most surefire path to ruin. The Avatar is the embodiment of doing-by-not-doing. A living contradiction, who achieves great wisdom as a result of NOT actively seeking it, because their role requires them to not waste time on vain sophistry, but instead go actively embody ideals of balance and justice.
I really love the idea (which is taught in my religion too) that the only way to actually manage a change for the better, either for yourself or others, means not only focusing on your needs or seeking "what it takes", but actually is a call for action where you need to accept and learn that acting and doing things is the only way to achieving anything
Yangchen saying " but this isn't about you", makes me cackle everytime.
There is a word for what aang is trying to achieve and killing the firelord was in the way of that goal, that word is called moksha but there is a contradiction here.

For me yangchen gave the best advice since she was also an airbender
@@rutherford5247hers was also the only one that stuck. reminding aang that he's not just an airbender
@@zennoki havent read the yangchen novel nor watched korra, but ive heard avatars are incapable of learning flight because they are tethered to the earth itself
@@zennokcorrect and if it was an air nomad on a path of darkness it’d still be his duty to put a stop to them. Regardless of which nation they come from Avatars are responsible for maintaining balance in the world. That’s also another reason why an Avatar could never unlock the power of flight (as others have said).
those words of wisdom from the past avatars were so powerful. i got goosebumps even if i already watched the show. kudos to the writers and also the voice actors.
Roku:
"You must be decisive"
Kyoshi:
"Only justice will bring peace"
Kuruk:
"You must actively shape your own destiny, and the destiny of the world"
Yangchen:
"This isn't about you, this is about the world"
"Selfless duty calls you to sacrifice your own spiritual needs and do whatever it takes to protect the world"
yangchen was my fav advice.
@@SunKizz2 I agree, it was the most sympathetic. You could tell she knew exactly what he meant and that she likely battled with the same dilemma when she was an avatar, so her advice was spot on.
Crying..❤
Agreed
wan was my favorite advice
"I knew I shouldn't have asked Kyoshi."
Really what was he expecting?
Someone who actually understand the concept of killing, her lore apparently made it seem like she was pretty okay with it, then again she was poorly written too tbf.
@@valvevac-systemchecker3773 BRUH🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ or maybe it’s because she actually has a spine to know when a threat needs to be taken care of? 🧐 Just a thought.
@@valvevac-systemchecker3773 poorly written? Someone hasn't read her books
@@SilverstreamPJ28 find me the logic in Kyoshi being 247 year old
@@valvevac-systemchecker3773Apparently, you know nothing about Kyoshi
I like it when Avatar Yang Chen first appeared, she's happy to talk to anothee Air Nomad avatar, but her demeanor changed the moment Aang spoke about what the monks taught him.
Yangchen was an Airbender in name only. But when it came to the Avatar duties, she made Kyoshi look like a tame kitten in comparison. Which inadvertently caused so many issues it spilled over into the next few Avatars.
Aren't we all gonna react to the fact that he thought Yangchen would understand him, but actually Yangchen was the most respected and feared avatar of them all according to the books? I mean, if it was for her she would have taken over aang and sent Ozai flying to space.
To be fair she did understand him as she was likely raised in a similar way and can see why he would struggle to go against the teachings he’s learned his whole life. Since he’s so young shes sad because she knows he’s probably going to have to abandon those beliefs if he’s going to beat the fire lord.
I love her wisdom so much, Aang has every right to believe the teachings of the air nomads, but at the end of the day, he is an air nomad, an earth citizen, part of the water tribe and from the fire nation. It's the 6th chakra, he needed to understand that he is part of the world and the avatar cannot hold onto the values and morals of one nation.
Better be happy kyoshi didn’t take over 😂
Nah, she would have just ripped the air straight out of Ozai's lungs instead.
I think Kyoshi was feared more than Yangchen. Especially because one time Kyoshi caused someone to scream to Yangchen for help
“Selfless duty call you to sacrifice your own spiritual needs, and do whatever it takes to protect the world”
Dude this hits so much harder after reading the Yangchen novels 😭
There is a word for what aang is trying to achieve and killing the firelord was in the way of that goal, that word is called moksha but there is a contradiction here. Aang is the avatar and he is supposed to reincarnate into the next element in the elemental cycle but achieving moksha would mean being free from reincarnation, if aang achieved moksha, that would be the end of the avatar cycle, this is why yangchen says "but the avatar can never do it, your sole duty is to the world.".
Right?? Yangchen had to literally fight against her own morals and nomadic teachings literally just to overcome corruption in her own corner of the world
How so?
@@cordisdie8109uhh no? He didn’t want moksha
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 It's symbolism. They don't directly say it.
Aang: "all life is sacred, including the fire lord Ozai, right?"
Yangchen: "No, he's crazy and he needs to go down."
"I've certainly never used it to take a life"
The entire fleet of Fire Nation ships at the Northern Water Tribe:
I imagine he tells himself the Ocean Spirit was in control & he was just along for the ride. It helps him sleep at night.
Commander Zhao: *got straight up drowned*
Technically that was the Ocean Spirit. Aang was just a conduit for it to use to wreck havoc
@@thomashopkins5768
Aang had disconnected from the Ocean Spirit when it got Zhao
@@matthewcary
There was also that guys on the ladder Aang shot air at. Sending them falling several feet into the ground at extreme force. Pretty sure their internal organs are jelly at that point.
Nice thing is that none of them really told him what to do or disagreed with him, even Roku. They just told him what they learned from their lives and trusted him to do what he thought was right since it was his time as Avatar not theirs.
People often drag Kuruk for his inactivity, but the Avatar's position is to act as mediator as a last resort. If countries can sort out their differences in a peaceable manner, then interference is not required. He probably still traveled the world ensuring people are fed, and are safe, but considering there likely wasn't a world shattering conflict such as during Aang's or Korra's reincarnation I would say high level interference likely wasn't required. That being said his complacency is likley what lost his love to Koh.
The Kyoshi novels actually paint Kurruk in a way better light. His entire time as avatar was fighting dark spirits because Yangchen neglected the spirit world
@@Darksaviour What I like about this universe / setting is it seems the creators intend to show no Avatar is perfect. They each have their strengths and weaknesses. Korea struggled with spirituality as well but can easily pickup up more practical bending such as Metalbending.
Actually people nag on Korra but she had it really rough, she basically had the full Victorian / Industrial era Playlist of political turmoil and fanatic ideologies to contend with within the span of very few years.
@@matthewy2j
Korea 😂
Kuruk mostly spent time trying to eradicate malevolent spirits. However, this was mostly unknown and people still thought that he was a hedonistic lazy person. They have no idea what he sacrificed. T T
@@Darksaviour ohhhh, so he was more active in the spirit world which is how he lost his wife to the face stealer in the spirit world?
Aang didn’t want advice in this scene, he wanted someone to agree with him.
I always saw it as he wanted to be handed a solution (which he eventually was) instead of advice to consider while figuring out his solution
This is true, and it’s something we all go through at least once. He wanted consolation. But the beauty of it is that he heard every avatar’s word and let it shape his intention, which eventually enabled him to overcome his ideals and face his destiny- in his own way. In the end, he applied all of their advice while still withholding from unnecessary violence as he wanted.
I feel like most young people do that when they ask for "advice"
He wanted a "yes-man"
Technically Aang took Kuruk's advice, he shaped his own destiny with his choice
To me it's so funny when aang regrets asking Kiyoshi for advice.😂
It was so petty😅also kyshoi was being kind of sassy there. Him and Kyshoi are just so different and don’t really agree to eachother
Because earth and air are opposites
@@nasirmills101but Kyoshi’s half air tho😅
Considering she confessed a crime at a kangaroo court through him, I suppose he would still carry a grudge.
Kyoshi is such an interesting character even the way she talks
If you haven't had a chance to read the novels following her, you really should. After reading them, I think she's my favorite. I also think her team avatar is very unique
She's two meters tall..
Tell me more 😂😂😂
@@screative3170That’s a rumour
@@_Majunior I mean doesn’t she sort of have two separate team avatars? Her first team avatar being members of the flying opera company, it was kyoshi, kirima, rangi, wong, lek, and lao ge. But in the second book it kind of changes to kyoshi, rangi, hei-ran, atuat, jinpa, and nyahitha
@@AstroSullyActually it’s not. Not only the novel but the creators have confirmed she’s 7 ft.
Yangchen’s scene is so fire🔥 and her advice hits the hardest for me.
I find it interesting how Avatars Roku, Kyoshi, and Kuruk all call him Aang, but Avatar Yangchen calls him Avatar Aang.
Shows you how serious she is in relaying what needs to be said.

@@joelramnarineDiplomacy.
@@joelramnarineisnt szetso partly to blame with the 100 years war? During his time he focused on empowering the fire nation.
@@ChrisAmparadothat would've been hundreds of years prior to it and I'm sure he had his reasons. Kiyoshi also made the Dai Li. The Avatar does their best and can't always see the consequences coming.
"Selfless duty calls you to sacrifice your own spiritual needs" hits so hard.
It’s something when Yanghcen tells Aang he’s not just an airbender
It was easy for Yangchen to say that. She was able to put her Airbender beliefs aside so that she could fulfill her Avatar duties. Aang didn't have that luxury. He was literally the last Airbender in the world which meant not only did he have a duty to conserve the world, he had a duty to conserve his culture. Imagine being the only one left of your people. That'll be rough buddy.
@@MistaCUNextTuesdayAnd if Ozai killed him, then the Air Nomads would be extinct forever and their culture would be lost forever. Being the last airbender doesn't excuse Aang from his Avatar duties. Even if Aang had killed Ozai, he could still pass on the air nomad culture to Tenzin and he'll pass it on to his children and descendants. In Korra, Tenzin decided that as a result of air benders re appearing, and Korra being seriously wounded by Zaheer. That they had to change certain traditions in Air Nomad society to become more involved in the world.
Killing certainly shouldn't be encouraged, but if you are in a life or death situation especially where the world's safety is at stake, I don't think you have a choice.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl I never said being the last Airbender should excuse him from his avatar duties. I said that it was easy for Yangchen to say what she said because she didn't have to even think about Aangs struggles. Don't misquote me.
@@MistaCUNextTuesday she actually did, but she was kinda right - you can't be just a complete air nomad because you're the avatar.
@@MistaCUNextTuesdaywell Aang can teach his future kids about Air Nomad culture while he set aside that culture and beliefs as the avatar.
The show is rich in wisdom from so many religions. Avatar Yang Chen's wisdom is true to the wisdom in Buddhism and Hinduism. Both these religions tell your duties in life supercede everything else. Your wants, hopes, dreams, everything come second or even don't matter compared to the duties given to you in life. Fulfill all your responsibilities without question, with no expectations of any reward. It is an extremely tough ask.
wow
Not to sound offensive but virtually all Buddhist philosophies are copy paste of Hinduism.
How do I find what my duties in life are
The Avatar is a concept that heavily borrows from Hinduism and the difference of Hindu and Buddhist beliefs comes down to how they see the enlightened state. Buddhism like the Air Nomads detach themselves from the world to find enlightenment. The Avatar finds enlightenment from being connected with the physical and spirit world much like how the Hindu concept of Moksha.
@@puddimilk1351by accepting where you are and what you do now and listening to your intuition so you can hear the inner guidance :)
Kyoshi still had a valid point. Sometimes, you just have to do something that you don't want to just to protect those you care about
Yet she was proved wrong.
She embodies earth: stuborness and rigidity of thinking.
There are always options for those willing to look for them.
@@etienne8110 She was NOT wrong. Her wisdom was "Only Justice will bring Peace."
I would say Aang's way of dealing with the Fire Lord was pretty just.
@@luminozero yeah. But we all know she meant execution by "justice". 😅
@@luminozero Aang is not the judge, jury and executioner.
She killed the first person she fell in love with because she found no other solution, despite it broke her heart.
I love the touch they added when summoning the previous avatars. Whenever each avatar is summoned, the sound correlating to their main element can also be heard. When Roku leaves, you can hear the sound of fire, when kyoshi arrives and leaves you can hear the crumbling of earth. When Kuruk arrives and leaves, you can hear the splash of water and when Yangchen arrives and leaves, you can hear the blowing of wind.
Yang chen had us in the first half, not gonna lie
There is a word for what aang is trying to achieve and killing the firelord was in the way of that goal, that word is called moksha but there is a contradiction here. Aang is the avatar and he is supposed to reincarnate into the next element in the elemental cycle but achieving moksha would mean being free from reincarnation, if aang achieved moksha, that would be the end of the avatar cycle, this is why yangchen says "but the avatar can never do it, your sole duty is to the world.".
"I knew I shouldn't have asked Kyoshi"
Bro, what did you expect? This is the woman that almost got you killed because she openly admitted to cause someone else's death.
Kyoshi is just vibing 😂 She's just brutally honest and I'm here for it😂
1:53 can we just take a moment to appreciate how *BEAUTIFUL* Kyoshi’s voice is?!
Yangchen: “Yes, ALL life is sacred.” It’s her saying that instead of any variation that suggests it not being her own belief, and us knowing what she did to keep balance in the world despite that. Makes you think how much pain she was silently harbouring.
Yangchen and Kuruk are such interesting Avatars. From what I remember, Yangchen was so revered because Kuruk had to clean up the messes she left behind. She kept the peace between the nations, but failed to keep the spirit world in check. Which resulted in powerful dark spirits being unleashed. Kuruk had to deal with these spirits, and on top of that lost his lover to Koh. Citizens disliked Kuruk’s incarnation because he wasn’t active in the politics of the world. But as he said, his era was relatively peaceful. If he could let the nations work out their conflicts, there’s no need for him to get involved. Unfortunately his battles with the spirits took its toll and he lost his life at a very early age when he should have been in his physical prime as an Avatar.
On the flip side you had Kiyoshi who blamed Kuruk for her problems because he didn’t keep the peace between the nations. Her era was filled with conflict because of it. But she likely never realized she didn’t have to deal with powerful spirits because of him. Being the Avatar is basically a double edged sword. It’s either dealing with spirits, or keeping the peace between the nations.
It’s so funny to me how each Avatar usually just leaves problems behind for the next incarnation. It makes me wonder how the new Earth Avatar is going to deal with Korra leaving the spirit portals open. He might have to deal with powerful spirits the same way Kuruk did.
Interesting comment. Truly thought provoking.
I know Yangchen's book was written after this series, but it still would've been cute if she complimented Momo considering her own lemurs.
Aang is so fast that he put on his shoes at 3:31 and we didn't even see him move. He takes them off again at 3:41 just to showcase his speed again. Truly the greatest avatar to ever live!
Sthu man😂😂😂
boy, I hope someone got fired for that blunder
15-16 years and multiple times watching this scene, and never not once picked up on that. props to them for engaging me into the story so much i missed such an obvious thing hahaha
He didn't want to show feet to Avatar Kuruk.
How did I never notice this?😂
When she told him he could never fully detatch himself from the world because of what he is. That's so true! No matter how many times the avatar dies they will always end up manifesting into the world again because that's the nature of what they are. They seem to be metaphysically trapped in the physical world and whatever avatar is currently alive. Whatever experiences they accumulate just get added on to the next avatar for them to use as some sort of encyclopedia.
That's actually kind of dark if you ask me.
This scene feels different after having read the great novels which expand upon Kyoshi, Kuruk, and Yangchen
Definitely, I can see why Yangchen feels the way she does
Kuruk has a novel?
@shoverload5135 no but he is expanded upon in the Kyoshi novels since he came before her and she inherited a lot of his problems
@@Spongebrain97such as?
Avatar Yangchen advice gets me most. I think many deal with it. Growing up is hard as we need to take more responsibility and give up personal interests for it. This is very true when being parents. You ABSOLUTELY need to give up things we love to do for our kids.
I love that Aang listened to their advice, but still ultimately found a way to perform his duty without sacrificing his pacifistic identity.
Because the way was given to him by a deux ex machina
More like he got a perfect solution that none of them had access to through Turtle Ex Machina. The show is great, but that ending was definitely weakened by that.
@@icecontrol1when you keep looking, you may find.
Only when you stop looking are you sure to fail.
@@etienne8110Yeah, but the solution was quite literally under his nose, and this was Aang's moral climax, it shouldn't have been resolved by a third party, much less one introduced this same chapter...
Aka Kuruk’s advice of shaping his own destiny
“I offer you this wisdom : ….” Such a powerful line
I offer you this wisdom: Iam12andthisisdeep
What I love about this, is the magic happening when you can see the strength and holiness of the bond with the previous lives, so amazing and always mesmerising thought all the series. I wish we could have seen that development in Korra’s journey. It would have change for the better our perspective and we would see it less detached- I genuinely loved the concept.
Ye but korra was an opposite to aang not very spiritual ( make sense tho bc there isn't a lot of ppl who are beside of the air bender), and wasn't with people who told her how to do at a young age, they trained her for elements, at the end of the 1st season she gets a link with aang, and one with wan in the 2nd,but yeah I miss those links too, there is something interesting about that I think the world changed so much with aang and Korra that those old avatars could've been out of age , even tenzin said " you changed so much things in some years than an avatar would do in his entire life" , Aang in one of the comic book, cut the spirit link with Roku for some time bc Roku is outdated and thinks the world need 4 nation and can't live together that would make a mess " but aang create republic city years after, so maybe their knowledge of the elements were lost but their vision of the world can be outdated, and it's very difficult to go far from your past lives, you have to be more and more spiritual
Avatar Yangchen is a total boss. You just know she took her duty as the Avatar seriously.
hmm.
Coming back to this years later, its crazy how deep and meaningful the writing in this show was for a "Childrens" Cartoon. Something like this really only comes around once in a generation.
I was 15 in 2008 and it took me a long time to experience something like Avatar again. It was Star Wars Rebels. When I was 12 I had no idea what layed in store.
I like to think all the avatars are just waiting in line to give advice to Aang like, "ay yo Kuruk, you're up"
For some reason, Yang Chen’s statement about how the avatar can never detach themselves from the world because their duty is to it, really resonated with me. I can’t describe it.
3:28 the fact that they make a bunch of little cuts, but understood that aang talking to momo is crucial, is outstanding upon the channel’s part. It’s like Bumi said, “someone’s missing from your group. Someone very important… *Where’s Momo?”*
There’s a difference between seeking advice and seeking validation, Aang.
When the avatar that talked her way into world peace is siding with Kyoshi and telling you that killing is the way to go, that's when you know you're in some deep trouble.
Yang chen and kyoshi having the same personality😂
Kurok the humor king😮
Roku comfort advisor❤
They have similarities but they're really not the same. Yangchen was known for her compassion and for her ability to manipulate selfish people into doing the right thing. Kyoshi typically threatened them instead.
Don't blame Kyoshi 💀😂
Kyoshi: “Personally, I’d start blastin’.”
😂😂😂
Aang:Monks thought me all life is sacred
Gyatso*the monk that thought Aang*: Have you counted the number of enemy bodies around my corpse!What do you think killed them...Health Problems!
You do realize that what Gyatso did was out of desperation and the thought of losing Aang?
@@edba1.037 And what do you call the 100 year war with the Fire Nation and the Fire Lord? A vacation?
Lack of oxygen is a health problem
This show was such a banger remember it as a kid
That's why he won the soul battle against Ozai. His spirit is truly unbendable.
Just noticed a continuity error that I had never noticed
Up until he's shown saying "I knew I shouldn't have asked Kyoshi" he's barefoot, and then around 3:30 he's shown wearing his shoes, and then barefoot again when talking to Yangchen
Aang: All life is sacred, I'm even a vegetarian!
Plants: Am I a joke to you?!
That's a hilariousy brilliant observation 😂😂😂😂😂.
He wanted an someone to agree with him, or to be given a ready solution, as the majority of people does, especially at a young age. But this shows only his feelings.
However, his resolve was to do not what he wanted, but what he needed, wich was hear advice thet would disagree with him, frustrate him, but bring him to reflections in order to find his own way.
The writers really carried this show, the dialogue always sounds perfect
If only Star Wars always achieved it
The second he started speaking, Yangchen knew immediately what he was going to try. They animated her face perfectly throughout the whole conversation.
Aang: Avatar Szeto, I need advice to defeat the firelord.
Szeto: Tax the firelord.
It seems like yangchen already knew what aang was gonna ask when he started with "The monks taught me all life is sacred.. "
Even Yangchen a air nomad who had the same teachings as Aang understand that a Avatar's duty expands beyond a personal need for enlightenment. If this wasn't a kid'a show Aang would've slaughtered Ozai
The classic needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few scenario
Isn't that kinda what detachment and Buddhist enlightenment is all about ironically?
In a way, Yangchen was guiding him towards a better understanding of enlightenment than his young understanding of it. That one is more enlightened and objectively aware of things when they are willing to empty themselves and be beyond just their personal wants.
It's in being beyond yourself that brings one to enlightenment if I understand correctly, it is not quite a personal desire in itself like his desire to keep his pacifist code.
Aang’s character suffers for getting the lion-turtle copout, imo. His character arc is about accepting the responsibility to solve problems only he can, but at the story’s climax he is gifted a way to bypass a dilemma that cuts to the core of his beliefs and character. The fact that the writers allow Aang to keep his hands clean in a war story doesn’t help.
Shut up cloen just shut up
@@GrapeCheckerBoard I mean the worst part is his hands aren't even clean
Imagine asking Kyoshi for advice thinking that Kyoshi wouldn't immediately ice Ozai lol
I know that this is a kid's show, but personally I think Aang should've just ended the Fire Lord. It was selfish for Aang to prioritize his own principles over the safety of the world. As Roku said, the current war was a result of his leniency towards Sozin. If Aang didn't discover the method to take away Ozai's bending away, he could've put the world at jeopardy. It would've been a 2 Avatar-long conflict due to a lack of decisiveness.
I’ve held onto that belief since 2008. Ozai was too dangerous to be kept alive.
“I’m not gonna listen to the dozens of past lives I have and instead listen to a giant turtle.”
Aang: I've never took someone's life
Wasp:
To be fair it was a bug so ig that's a pass to him and Appa was gone
@@maxpower3990 alright fair point yeah I still think aang should of killed ozi but taking his bending away is a start ig 🤷🏾♀️
All life is sacred until it decides to touch Aang's friends
air nomads with their Bison being harmed are like an invitation to end your life😅 Aang and Yang Chen can tell you that😂
The Fire Nation Fleet that attacked the Northern Water Tribe:
Avatar Kuruk describing himself as a “go with the flow” kind of guy is so Waterbender
Is what Avatar Yangchen said true? Is that the truest version of self sacrifice?
Maybe for the Avatar. To me the most crucial part of her advice is that Aang's duty is first and foremost, to the world, and then, only after that, is to his own life. Selfless duty calls him, and he was chosen to answer.
This scene gives me goosebumps every time
0:35 Roku
1:57 Kyoshi
2:45 Kuruk
3:57 Yangchen
I kind of agree here with Avatar Yangchen "selfless duty calls you to sacrifice your own spiritual needs, and do what ever it takes to protect the world", but I'm glad that Aang found another way to solve his problem with Ozai.
Wooooow! Comments!! Finally bringing a community back. Turning off comments was so toxic and restrictive
What is very Mature about this segment is how Aang, young as he was, and with a Huge burden on his shoulders, was having to face the reality that he had to be more selfless than he ever had before (which was at odds with how we first met him, the boy in the ice who ran away from his duties).
Each of them told him how their choices or preferences or teachings or culture had to take a back seat to what the world needed, and that when they didn't, others would suffer.
When Roku failed to, he allowed the war to begin in earnest, especially since he knew the foundations for it had been slowly put in place.
Kuruk apparently didn't have much to worry about or get involved in, so beyond his learning to bend all the elements out of obligation instead of necessity, he mostly did what he wanted, enjoyed the sights, and chilled.
But the spiritual side of things, for someone enjoying the physical, is what caused him to overlook that the Dark is an ever present threat, and he still made enemies that willingly targeted those he cared for.
And finally we have Aang. He unfortunately inherited the war that Roku failed to put out, and for all that he was raised as a monk, he was far too attached to the worldly pleasures of fun and friends, and ran from his duties, and the world and so many people subsequently suffered extensively for another century on top of the decade prior.
Aang didn't want to accept the harsh truth of Yangchen's wisdom, even if she understood his hesitancy and monk background the most, and it's only thanks to eleventh hour luck that he managed to receive the knowledge of suppressing/removing bending (not to mention reactivating his avatar state) that allowed him to win on his own terms.
Its a failing of his, but it kept him flawed and human, and i can appreciate that.
Let's be NOT real, Aang leaving the air temple was the worst thing to EVER happen to him if he stayed, he would have gotten EASILY killed just like everyone else in the air temples. It's Roku's failures that allowed Sozin to start his war and Aang had to unfortunately he was far too young to deal with any of that at the time so no one can blame a child for running away from his duties but it was for the best as he would have gotten killed if he didn't. The whole story of Avatar is Aang doesn't fix up Roku's mistakes but Aang going to a NOT A whole different period, a hundred years later was really the best thing for him because he could do anything at the time.

The past Avatar advice is basically telling Aang to stop hiding behind excuses and make a decision and be ready for the consequences
Aang was decisive when he permanently ended Ozai as a threat. He was just when he took Ozai’s best weapon, his firebending. He took a proactive step in the destiny of the world and didn’t hesitate to do his duty. ✅✅✅✅
Aang: Shen’s ignorance killed him
Kyoshi: Personally, I don’t see the difference
Aang: I knew I shouldn’t have asked Kyoshi
Perfect.
My savage avatar Kyoshi 😂
Technically Aang was right 😂 She was just stubborn
Seeing the past Avatar, and them giving Aang wisdom and advice is definitely my favorite moments in the show. I have to say that I love Yangchens advice because she is an Air Nomad like Aang...Her advice is my favorite response, basically saying, "at the end of the day it's not about you, it's about saving the world."
After just finishing the Yangchen books, her advice hits so much more differently, knowing everything she sacrificed to protect the world from itself.
4:22 That one buzzardwasp in the desert
Or the Airship full of people that he shot down before fighting Ozai.
And the fire nation soldiers on the mountain that got hit with a proper avalanche.
Aang took all of their advice but in a way that they wouldn’t have. He was decisive by choosing an alternative to killing Ozai (taking his bending), he was just by forcing Ozai to suffer his worst fear (being powerless) just as Ozai and his forefathers made the world suffer, he actively shaped his own destiny and the destiny of the world by sticking to his guns and still winning and introducing a new, non violent solution to the world, and he was selfless and dedicated to his duty to the world by recognizing that he could have died if it went sideways but recognized that putting himself at risk was what needed to be done to protect and save the world.
There are memes of kyoshi I love it!!
Aang : how do i stop ozai without killing him?
Kyoshi : have you conisdered putting him in a coma.?
I literally lol'd.
Meanwhile Kyoshi accidentally kills Chin
@@AstroSully "accidentally" being the keyword
@@user-ix1rp9ff3p she didn't accidentally killed Yun, the boy that was wrongly identified as the Avatar instead of her.
AVATAR ROKU: You must be decisive.
AVATAR KYOSHI: Only justice will bring peace.
AVATAR KURUK: You must actively shape your own destiny, and the destiny of the world.
AVATAR YANGCHEN: Selfless duty calls you to sacrifice your own spiritual needs, and do whatever it takes to protect the world.
LION TURTLE: nuh uh
Lion Turtle: *boop
It isn't kids show *only justice will bring peace* very true
I love avatar aang, because he potrayed as a child that still need guidance to be avatar
I hadn't noticed! At 3:37 when Aang is talking to Momo, he displays a remarkably fast ability to remove his shoes and socks without anyone noticing hahaha :P
yangchen is my favorite avatar
I think at first he was like
"Thanks guys, you've all been... completely useless 😑"
And he eventually ended the war without killing Ozai. He was successful in bridging his Avatr duty and personal principle.
- Word as bond 🤷🏿♂️👍!
Kyoshi be like: cut this dudes throat 😂
Each Avatar appears with his/her own element sound
Aang: An Airbending avatar will understand 😊
Yangchen: *finish him*
😂
The fact aang proved them all wrong in the end. Tremendous amount of respect to him
My grandma just sent me old quotes from famous people. I told her theres a lot of great quotes in movies and shows. This scene came to mind.
This scene is one of the reasons why I HATE that TLOK decided to sever the connections to the previous avatars. Going into season 3, we could have had so many more interactions like these ones with previous Avatars we've never seen before. TLOK post season 2 just ruined the entire concept of the Avatar for me, all of the wisdom and experience is what made the Avatar spirit so intriguing for me.
People bringing up Kyoshi, but Yang's pull up game was cold. The Avatar of black-AIR-force bending.
“Only justice will bring peace.” Paraphrasing Martin Luther King, and included Yang Chen’s Buddhist philosophy . This show was beyond its time.
Nice quote.
@@Elojordino1767-tu8ct "I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice"
- Dr. Marin Luther King jr, in his famous letter from Birmingham jail. This is the line kyoshi is paraphrasing
Sorry but can't take this scene seriously after tiktok. "He said YOLO didn't he"😂😂😂😂😂
One of LOK's biggest mistakes was erasing the previous Avatars.
I'm begging the studio to fix that mistake.
