Toph as a CHILD is a master earth bender. But in her prime with 20 years more experience? She must have been in a league of her own. We need a series for Toph alone
Seriously...
she said imagine me in my prime if as an old lady i beat the avatar
I mean in her prime it would just be 10 years more experience, 10 years after that you aren't in your prime anymore.
The same goes for Aang, he is the same age as Toph and has mastered the other three elements in less than 1 year, I would love to see Aang at his peak or at least at a similar age to Korra
@@ermissu3819 Aang would be incredible, but there are other benders who could beat him in their respective elements besides air, whereas Toph is unbeatable in Earthbending as a child.
Kyoshi's earthbending abilities are insane, but I would've still given Toph the top spot.
Why is that?
@@alejandroruizdiaz9296 Basically invented one of the most prominent earth bending techniques: Metal bending,
wasn't trained, yet still achieved this high skill level
True power not developed, as she was a child when fighting
(Most sympathetic earth bender)
@@ner0718 To simplify: She may not have the most raw power, but she has the most versatility and precision
Wake up to reality
@@ner0718 she did receive training by the original masters. And inventing a new style pales in front of moving out and creating and entire island
Feel like Toph deserves her own tier.
This is an earthbending tier list not a popularity tier list. Kyoshi moved continents. No feat not even metal bending compares.
Also, Toph fought King Bumi on novels and it was a tie. They're at the same level of power.
@@ISetYourFaceOnFireAvatar and then their is a blind 12 year old Girl.
@@dimersonlucas8700 Yeah she tied with the most powerful earth bender in the world... When she was only 12.
@@scruffd0g193 she deserves her own tier just because she is 12 and blind? That doesn't make any sense.
Can we not forget that Toph held up an entire underground library while Aang and the others escaped WHILE she was being attacked and couldn’t see in the desert because of all the sand?
She is blind that why she can't see
Yeah, and she’s about 12 y.o kid at that time. Clearly she’s the greatest earthbending of all
while she was just a kid also
@@zafwanx0013 no, she couldn’t “see”, aka sense the attackers’ vibrations, because of the sand. The sand was too fine in comparison to solid earth so vibrations dissipated. However, she sensed the library sinking because it was literally shaking the entire surrounding area.
And thats without avatar state... Kyoshi moved an island with the powers of other avatars ya know... Toph still MVP!
Honestly Toph and Kyoshi are simply built different, it’s hard to compare the two. I think the best choice is to put them in the same tier
Not to mention that with the little we have of Kyoshi, much of what we see her do she also tapped into the Avatar state in order to do it, some parts of her skill set are hard to distinguish as HER skills, or as Avatar skills. For example, Aang can also lava bend, when but only using the Avatar state, so we don't consider Aang to be a lava bender, even though he can do it.
At the same time, other Avatars were not Energy Benders, making this a uniquely Aang skill that Korra does not naturally posses on her own without using Avatar powers. I mean, how do we could skills like that, right?
But regardless, Kyoshi is like Naruto. Even without Kurama, he still has massive levels of power compared to the other Kage. Kyoshi is a massively powerful earth bender in her own right, regardless of Avatar state. I still think Toph is better, but I can easily agree that they are in the same tier of power, as well as Bumi, imo.
@@C0rran05 I thought Kyoshi used airbending to move her island, not earthbending??
@Drix Malone she used Earthbending for sure to separate the land masses and to lavabend. She likely used earth, air and water bending together for the actual movement.
@@C0rran05 couldnt have said it better
Kyoshi is more powerful in terms of earth bending, like she moved an island lol and skill would go to toph cause she invented metal bending
I will never stop saying it: Kuvira's fighting style really is something else. She uses her environment and armour in such a clever way like noone else does
I think she is the scariest, she can shut you down so quickly if you're a firebender or Airbender
toph slams
@@chasewurth1212 toph might be the only bender which was alive at the time who was not Avatar who could have beaten Kuvira in 1v1 so I think you are not wrong about puting her over Kuvira. Kuvira had precision determination and pure skill over each of Toph daughters she would defeat anyone in Team Avatar of Korra except Korra she IMO would win vs Zahear also the 3 chieftains of watter tribes all where weaker Old Zuko is no match Katara might be able to take her down but I dont see her doing it unless it is full Moon. BTW every Bloodbender is dead and a lot of other strong villains are also dead.Tenzin I think would loose against her also.
@@IamnotfromUSA nahh, there's no way she would win against zaheer or tenzin
@@androanthony5853 I think she is better fighter then them but that is my opinion.
I think toph learning from badger moles, was the equivalent to iroh learning from dragons.
That’s why she’s so powerful.
This!
Yes. It's called firsthand learning.
why cant aang learn from appa then?
learning from the OG's
@@rizkyadiyanto7922that is where airbenders learned their bending originally
Toph is the most talented bender.
By the age of 12, she already become one of the strongest earhbender while maintaining her 'helpless' persona. Only Bumi which at the time already hundreds years old can match her, while a bunch of most elite earhbender 'Dai Li' can't do nothing to her.
First time she comes in contact with the sand, she kind of hopeless, three months later, she already mastered sandbending, she can even create miniature city with such a details with ease.
Trapped in metal cage, that make others earthbender useless, invented metal bending instead.
If bending didn't constraint by 'genetics', she probably become a better avatar than the avatar themselves.
I bet Toph went around the world looking for formidable opponents but never found any.
Kuvira and Kyoshi could've been the only ones that would've given her match she so craved for. Everybody else on this list is average at best as compared Toph
but what about yun, how did people forget him?
@@doxa9014Except Bumi with whom she foght a stand still (while Bumi was a 100 years old Man) So they are equals. Toph more talented but Bumi more powerful
also, Toph isn't an avatar, while Kyoshi managed to do powerful earth-bending skills because of one of the perks of being an avatar, amplification of skills.
Imagine Toph being an avatar, Toph might even reshape the earth itself. This isn't an exaggeration. Toph being 12yrs old can do Bumi-level earth-bending abilities. What more if she peaked after that?
@@doxa9014 how will Kuvira's blades scale against Toph's earthquakes?
Ghazan's rating of "Rock Solid" is ironic considering he turns rocks to liquid.
I was expecting The Boulder to be "Rock solid" just because 🤷♂️
Also complealty wrong, Ghazan was on the level of Bummi and Toph.. he hould be WAY higher.
And no way the Beifong sisters are above Kuvira and Ghazan
No way
Korra is pretty bad agaits him
Hazhan and his lava bending feel more like boss level to me
Almost impossible to defend against
He should be boss level
The boss is not only about the Power of a new or rare ability, it includes the capacity to be a leader, so as Amon would be if the list is about waterbenders
Indeed
No
I would still put Aang at Rock Solid at the very least. He learned to master an element that was very much his opposite, and he still displayed an incredible level of power when utilizing it. Very Talented doesn't seem to do enough justice to how strong his earthbending was. Not to mention, he's also the first person (possibly) to understand and learn the art of seeing with earthbending from Toph, and he used that very same technique to bring down Ozai at the very end.
Yeah, it's odd that he got placed only one tier above Aiwei, considering both his feats and the fact that he was taught by Toph. Nobody's gonna say it's his strongest element, but dang that's low.
not to mention (show wise) he mastered it in what.. a year. we didnt see anything after that. Only comics. Im sure Aang became a very powerful Earth bender.
and! learned it in a day!
I would say he’s a master lol
Every avatar can use the knowledge of the avatars before. So they are truly untouchable
“I never realized how much I missed tormenting the avatar.”
😂😂😂
So aang’s training WAS needlessly brutal. Lol
😂😂😂😂😂👵👵👵
Toph world
@@dagusm737yeah 😆
Ghazan destroied by himself the entire walls of Ba Sing Se and the divisions between its inner rings. I can't believe this tier put him at the same level as Korra and Bolin.
Am surprised Ghazan is up there the least bolin doesn't come close
I know right? Ghazan literally carried the Red Lotus imo. He belongs up at “boss level” just behind Kuvira, and Lin and Suyin need to drop down a tier.
Ghazan is boss level or greater, destroyed an air temple himself.
Nah bolin deserves to be on the same level if not even above gahzan after he learned to lavabend and they have a fight they literally are on equal playground and no one managed to get the upper hand and that was just when bolin just got it season 4 bolin is even stronger and better than that
no? he only created a weak spot with lavabending which caused the collapse. He didn't actually bend the entire wall.
Not y’all forgetting kyoshis eyes turned white for a bit so it’s kinda obvious she was in the avatar state in the time of earth bending. So we can’t really count that as her own skill. She learned dust stepping, well done. Toph learned metal bending and could bend metal liquids- not to mention she can see at all angles
She can also lava bend
@@C0rran05 I think Toph can lava bend because when Korra found her in the cave, she was cooking on top of something that looked like lava.
Thank u
@Kharen Estrella sorry, I was meaning to refer to Toph, but looking at it now I can see how it would look like I was talking about Kyoshi.
@@kharenestrella8830 no she can’t. Stop acting like ur headcanons are facts. If she could lava bend they would’ve shown it. U can either learn metal bending or lava bending that’s why when Bolin learned Lava bending they said “that’s why u couldn’t metal bend, you’re a lava bender”
It’s Scary that we never saw Toph at her prime. We only saw her as a child and as an old lady, but never at her prime that tells you something!!😮😮
Supposedly an animated movie is being made featuring the Gaang members in their 20s (120s for Aang). Maybe we'll see more of what Toph becomes during that.
She was shown as a matured lady, reprimanding her teen daughters and teasing a 40year old Aang.
There’s going to be a movie about team avatar in their prime
Imagine what Toph could do in her mid 20s. As an old lady, she bent the earth beneath her feet without moving in her battle against Korra 😮
I'd put Kuvira in Master tbh. Her earthbending is great, but her metalbending can only be matched by Toph. She outclasses everyone shown in the show. She's definitely, by far, the best shown in the show. She is the epitome of peak metalbending in the entire series
ikr, she perfected metal bending as a martial art. in a 1v1 setting, kuvira bags everyone in the list, perhaps any bender at all.
@@quibble9003 Exactly. If not for her mini Azula moment, it'd have been near impossible to stop her
ALL HAIL THE GREAT UNITEEER
@@quibble9003 I disagree. The tiny confrontation she had with Toph, Toph basically shrugged her bending aside and laughed, and you could see in Kuvira's eyes that unlike everyone else present, she actually considered Toph a threat. But Toph was only there for a brief rescue mission and was determined to let 'the kids' handle things without interfering further.
You mean she outclasses every other metal bender in the show, right? Cuz if you mean benders in general that's obviously wrong.
*Earth is the element of substance 🌏 . The people of the Earth Kingdom are diverse and strong 🌎 . They are persistent and enduring* - Iroh 🔥
What eposide does he say this
ghazan should be ranked way higher. he was part of the red lotus, was a very very skilled bender, as said in the video he got a special cell. i just feel like he is ranked too low
They also forgot that Toph was able to see everything that happened in the legend of Korra. Remember when Toph said “You didn’t see Katara getting in between the civil war. She’s blind and can see miles and miles away. Another key point that wasn’t meantioned. That’s Avatar Level Skills hands down. She even mentioned she sees everything that goes on.
Toph is unique and the most powerful eathbender to ever exist, Kioshi was strong but she was powered up by the Avatar mode which increases her earthbending while she uses others, mainly air and fire to power up her earthbending, so it is really not earthbending by itself but a mix of all of them that made her look OP, but when it comes to pure earthbending, Toph is in her own league.
I'm with you
If avatars weren't involved in this I truly believe toph would win
No one can beat Toph in an earthbending-only battle. Not even avatars. They need to enter avatar state.
Kuvira will beat toph if she uses the flying metals, she can't see those coming n they are super fast
@@dataslid did you just assume that the creator of metal bending will not feel metals coming at her?
I am positive Toph on her prime can beat three Kuviras on their primes at once.
Most impressive Earthbender feats in Legend of Korra are just inferior version of Toph's
She can tell when someone's lying
She learned the Seismic ability from the originators of Earth Bending
She made Metal Bending
Aang and Korra are no match for her (they fought her not in her prime)
99+ more reasons.
" I am the greatest earthbender în the world; don't you two dunderheads ever forget it"🗻🪨🌋⚙️🔩
Toph Beifong
Yall gotta read the book, Kyoshi was on a whole other level lol. I love Toph, she is fantastic, Kyoshi is her. There is a reason she lived the longest out of any Avatar. She took on a bender with a ridiculously rare sub element back in her day, lightning bending, got struck close range, survived, impressed by his talent and still killed him and kept the secret to herself lol. She is a real savage...
Kyoshi has the advantage pf being an avatar. If she wasn’t and just had her Earth bending Toph would squash her like a bug and you can cry about it.
ok but I'm pretty sure a 230 year old earthbender would have toph beat, its also a earthbending skill that they can use to prolong their life@@tombombadil1262
Lava bending is so underrated. Everyone was powerless against Ghazan before Bolin learned to do it. And it wasn't trully utilized as it is literally overpowered. Single handedly destroy the Northern Air Temple and the wall of Ba Sing Se with minimal effort. And don't tell me Ghazan and Bolin isn't as talented as anyone in the upper tier cause they are with the most destructive element that could melt earth and metal alike.
I think Toph could be put at the ,,Avatar level skills", I mean she is still powerful and she learned earthbending from herself.
Practicly , Toph learned from the Badgermoles , not by herself
@@lucajessica9842 yeah, and badgermoles are the OG earthbenders.
Kyoshi walking on clusters of dust and glass bending!! Wow, did not know that until now. I really love the skills of Kyoshi, Toph, Lin, Suyin, Kuvira, Bolin, Aiwei. Is like they are the icons of earthbending and metalbending.
Glad to see some love given to Rise of Kyoshi and Shadow of Kyoshi! Also, the song for the Toph montage at 10:53 went really hard!
Such great novels! I'm still reading Yangchen
Its been stated that Toph was the strongest earthbender ever by many people who worked on the show, her skill is beyond that of Kyoshi.
Exactly, like she was taught by the creators of the element themselves. The only think is that kyoshe has the avatar state but if we counting avatar state then aang has to be above her since avatars are stronger then the previous ones in the avatar state (except Koraa since she lost it)
yeah what these guys are failing to understand is that this is a earth ending tier list, not power. of course a kyoshi in the avatar state is gonna beat tooth but in terms of who’s the better earthbender then toph wins
I slightly disagree. In the lost adventures book, both toph and bumi have an earth bending battle to see who was the best earth bender. This was at the white lotus camp. It ended up being a draw
@@joelplummer9145 that's when she's a kid though. What about at her peak? She invented metal bending. I think her innate advantage of having Earth Sense means she's likely the best earthbender in existence. The only reason Kyoshi is higher on power scale when it comes to earth bending is because she gets a boost from the Avatar State. At the very least i would put Toph in S tier along with kyoshi.
@@davidsantiago7808 She didn't invent sand bending, there were literally sand benders in the show.
My mouth just opened wide, when I saw Toph was not #1. Then I heard, #1 was Kyoshi, I became normal again. However I feel Toph would be equal to Kyoshi.
I mean Toph teaching abilities is very brutal and strict and yet Aang manage to learn Earthbending in just one day I guess that's something
Well we never saw Aang fully master earth bending… we only saw what he was capable with half a year of training.. I think prime aang would be higher in the list
Definitely higher. But I think being a natural Airbender would hinder his skills compared to Toph, Korra and Kyoshi
Well u could make that same argument for basically everyone
we did though he became a fully realized avatar at the end with mastery over the avatar state signifying hes mastery of all four elements. The only thing that holds him back from using earth to it fullest and even fire too is his ideology. As an air nomad raised in pacifism that why his go with is air and water. Earth and fire are attack elements, but it comes to skill aang, toph, kyoshi and bumi should all be on the same level.
@@miguellartey6161 yep definitely airbending principles holds him back. But what we saw was aang barely mastering earthbending in short amount of time. Through out his life he must have significantly improved right..? prolly not the top of the list..
@@what.are.you.doing.stepbro not exactly true we see everyone else with years of training but only aang with that short time.
This is just a definition of a timeless show, it's been years-
Earth bending can be hard and soft. Mud as well as rock. And the unique use in material like metal even lava, I LOVE IT! "I'm the Avatar, you gotta deal with it!" 🤣
Kyoshi most powerfull ability was her bending over the minerals in the body which allowed her to live +200 years
She mastered a type of spiritual state
That Toph montage was everything I wanted! So amazing!!!
kyoshi might be the most powerfull, she was the avatar, so she had milenia of experience, she was also born an earthbender making her expecially gifted in the discipline when compared to other avatars. however, i would say that toph is still better, she created metalbending and tremorsense, wish she used as an extention of her senses constantly to compensate for her lack of sight, she trained 2 avatars and was still a powerhouse in her later years, all this by beeing basically self-taught would the her of the badger-moles.
I swear when I saw toph being on the master rank, I couldn't think of anyone else to be on a higher rank than toph hahahaha. Avatar kyoshi is indeed amazing, but I feel like based on what toph did, she's should've been on the same rank as kyoshi hahahaha. Lit vid tho 🔥
Toph was avatar level as a little girl and even over 100 years old she is able to see around the world with her bending...
"The boulder takes issue with that comment." 😂 That was perfect.
bumi single-handedly taking back omashu is master moment indeed 😂 and Toph ROCKS!!!!! best earth bender for sure!!!!
King bumi is so underrated. Knowing how old he was when taking back omashu on his own is insane.
Personaly, I would swap Aiwei and The Boulder, raise Aang to rock solid level and Kuvira to master.
Also, it is kind of unfair to allow footage of Avatar State usage to Kyoshi, but not to Aang and Korra.
Kyoshi went into the avatar state for 2 seconds, when she made kyoshi island she was in base
What’s really unfair is Gazhan not being at Avatar level skills. He literally destroyed the Basing se wall SINGLE HANDEDLY at with ease. You know who failed to do that?? An entire army assisted IROH, An entire army assistant AZULA. Gazhan also destroyed the whole air temple ALONE.
@@what.are.you.doing.stepbro wow. first of the walls of ba sing se are earth he can change earth into lava so he can change the walls into lava he aint that strong
I’m surprised Roku isn’t on this list. Based on the fact he can tunnel, traverse mountains in seconds and how he was able to seamlessly switch between earth and air (two opposite elements) during his last stand, I’d put him at High Rock Solid, or Low Boss Level. Definitely above Korra, maybe above Bolin, but definitely before the Beifongs.
Roku could also lava bend, but that’s only if we consider using the avatar state as legitimate.
Then all the avatars would be in the tierlist
I know Kioshi was unbelievablly powerfull, she was an Avatar after all. Yet, I just feel like Toph literally tought almost EVERYONE on this list. Her incredible power, self taught skills, and connection with earth allowed her to tell when someone was lying, using different earth particles in metal to create metal bending. You cant deny she also had her own incredible style of fighting as well because of the baggermoles. She's just a tier of her own!!
And she slapped two Avatars in her lifetime 🤣 I will absolutely love toph forever! 💚
I believe Aang should be under Master level since he was trained by Toph. She taught him the essence of earth bending, that isn’t just skilled that’s mastery.
earth isn't his strongest suite tho when it comes to combat
@@nicoletara353 very true, that was his opposite element. I said mastery bc the way he learned how to bend earth, it was through vibrations. That to me upped him through the ranks compared to other earth benders
The montage was very well edited
9:13 I love how Bumi just casually throws buildings lol
Don't forget Kiyoshi pulled earth up an insane distance from the ocean floor to the surface
I remember the Toph poll you made on which element would Toph bend if it wasn't earth and honestly I think she could be an avatar if she wanted to
Gazan beats Bolin, Sue, Lin, and Korra nearly every time. He could even beat others on this list depending on the circumstances. He can’t be ranked lower than boss level. And I’d swap Toph and Kyoshi around. Other than that, this list is accurate.
i wouldnt switch toph and kyoshi, i would just put toph in the same category as kyoshi. We will never know who is actually stronger because we never got a chance to see peak Toph, so we can only speculate.
Toph is basically Kiyoshi without avatar perks tbh...
Nahh. Kyoshi can Lava bend. That’s one of the deadliest bending out there
@@what.are.you.doing.stepbro nah, Toph can metal bend. That's one of the best defensive bending out there.
I mean metal bending is great but lava kinda beats the whole idea of metal also
She flied using dust that alone is s tier
I've watched this series 3 times already! and I'm rewatching it AGAIN! I love the Avatar series so much.
Don't disrespect Toph Beifong like that please, she is on top of any earth bender list, it doesn't matter who is also there
The 2 Avatars are not in Avatar Level Skills 😂
Honestly kyoshi was able to do that thanks to her control over the avatar state, but this means also aang and korra are capable of it (idk how Korra can since the avatar state uses the strenght of the previous avatars and she.. well, lost that connection)
I didn't follow LOK as much, didn't Aang restore her connection?
@@abigbutterstick1780 he restored her bending but after unavaatu destroyed her connection from other avators, she didn't get them in the show
She does not need past lives, her Raava is immense and much more powerful than any other Avatar.
@@arianatorbutera9152 this is what Roku explained to Aang. The avatar state combines the strengh and knowledge of all the past avatar
@@kirisgd5255 yeah, I know. but the loss didn't change anything more than that connection with the past. because in terms of power it is compensated, as I said, by the size and strength of Raava.
Bumi and Toph in the same weight class make sense. Toph has shown better skills and able to hold buildings but Bumi and Kyoshi are shown moving mountains and slinging buildings like pebbles.
(Might have been said before) but can we also look at how neatly King Bumi stacked all the Fire Nation Tanks while taking back Ba Sing Se, and all the precision it would have taken to throw tanks from different positions into such a neat stack
This list pretty accurate, I would aang at boss level, especially what he was able to in the comic, where lift up a city
Toph is probably on the highest tier if you ask me. Her blindness is still a weakness to be exploited thought. In some situations she is just helpless.
More of this please!
It’s so much fun to see blind bending master reinvent earth… So much creativity from such a perfect character!
When I watch her earth bend on my worst days I feel elated instantly 😍
No offense but Ghazan should be higher
Yeah. Exactly
In the "Last Air Bender", Toph was only a child with Master class earth bending. But can you imagine Toph in her real prime? I bet she can surpass her own limit.
and toph gets only master? this list is an honorable mention
Kyoshi and Toph should probably be on the same level imo. Aang too infact. Kid was a seriously talented bender. The best earthbender in the Avatar universe to the best of my knowledge is actually Yun. The way he was depicted in the Rise and Shadow of Kyoshi, no one's on his level. Boy was trained as the Avatar but was just an earthbender. It's just like Iroh is to the fire nation but stronger. Way stronger. Lin and Su shouldn't be on the same level tho. Lin in her prime will obliterate her
I think that aang stornger earthbender then korra Because toph taught him the ability to see the movements of others before they finish making them
Korra was better she had a natural affinity for it.
To be honest it kinda make no sense that toph didnt trained korra originally, like who could done it better then her ?
I love Earthbending so much even it's benders.
excited for the new earthbending avatar to come around!
WoW, didn't know about the glass thing, but it makes perfect sense.
I feel like this tier list would have benefited from clearer criteria for why you put them in the different tiers. Kuvira seems like she would beat bumi for example, without any explanation of your choices it seems a bit arbitrary
Honestly, I think in metalbending, Kuvira would beat anyone, and in earthbending, she might not only lose to Bumi, but probably be significantly weaker than most benders here. In fact, it's hard to tell, because they all grew up in different times. In Korra's time, where people live in big cities, it's not really possible to show grand feats of moving mountains and what not. We never see Kuvira do any mindblowing earthbending. However, when it comes to metalbending, no one is her equal there.
No way kuvira can beat might bumi
I thought they would've mentioned how Toph literally held up a tower/building by herself which had to weigh multiple tons and fought at the same time!! That feat alone makes her avatar level I'd think!!
And Kyoshi used air bending to move that island (even though it was mad impressive), I don't think it was her earthbending itself that accomplished that feat.
Disrespected the Boulder 🪨. Dont do my boy dirty like that.
my fav toph moment is when she made a replica ba sing say in sand with just a flick of her fingers
"You don't get statues erected in your honour for being a subpar bender"
Katara's lack of a statue just makes this line funnier, especially considering that SOKKA got one.
Somewhere in the city she probably has one...I can't believe I just realized we never see one of her. Did she just immediately retire after the war or something?
I think it's because Katara didn't work so much on building and developing Republic city but focused on her Kids. I think toph mentioned it in S4 of LoK
I couldn't agree more with kyoshi, love the books and the info you got from the books.
In one part, almost with out any proper training she lift an entire boulder of 100 meters of diameter from the seafloor 200 meters away from her position while being in an iceberg.
Edit: with out avatar state and before knowing she was the avatar.
@Wes Bradley-Taubner in the book it says "her hands felt a guidence. She didn't fully understand, nor was she completely in control. But she trusted"
She didn't went berserk nor was any mention of glowing eyes or extra power or rush.
It could be free for interpretation of the reader but is more likely that it wasn't the avatar state.
It's bortherline impossible to control the avatar state the first time and even with out ANY TRAINING NOR GUIDANCE.
Edit: grammar
I'm sorry but Ghazan ABSOLUTELY deserved to be in the boss level tier
I LOVE THAT TOPH MONTAGE!!!
now next week can be airbender tier list
Aang, Korra and hazan’s different statistics bendings are more self taught when you think about it. What Toph had learned in very early age is what Korra ability can be like except when it comes to side senses and rock armor agility, however hazans lava bending is well deserved opposite for boss level than what aang could do before he started practicing his earth bending movement from toph and bumi who had much experienced for their teachings.
Aang in sozin's comet alone deserves at least a master level ranking
bro toph invented her own element and taught TWO avatars what else do you want from her. she 100% deserves avatar level
I almost thought they forgot about Kyoshi. Anyone who read the novel knows how powerful she was.
Toph Beifong is my favorite character in Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-2008) and The Legend of Korra (2012-2014).
I totally love Toph Beifong who is a barefooted Earthbender girl.
Tbh I’d give Toph Avatar Level Skills and Kyoshi the “Super Boss” title
GAZAN is an avatar level. No avatar can create lava from a rock. Remember only an avatar can bend magma but GAZAN and Bolin can create magma from rock. Even TOPH can't use lava bending.
That doesn’t make any sense.
lava is just molten rock.
Ghazan and Bolin just turn earth into lava the same way water benders turn ice into liquid water.
Kyoshi actually split it in half and used air to push it away.
Kyoshi used water and earth bending to split the land mass and used air bending to push it away. I don't see her earth bending skill that well
I haven’t wondered that actually, it’s obviously Toph. But fr tho I actually wanna hear them reasoning behind them all
You did Toph right with that montage!!
Toph defeated 2 Avatars, one as a kid, the other as an old lady. There's no reason to assume she couldn't defeat a 3rd.
Toph never defeated aang
I agree with this ranking, but you forgot to say about that Toph knew when someone was lying too (or I missed that part)
kazan : Rock solid skill that make the rock liquid, irony
toph getting her montage and inventing a whole new form of bending and the not even putting her top tier is such a disservice
Toph still deserves the top. She is the Avatar of Earth. We don't know what she was like at her prime. I'd wager she was just as powerful as Kyoshi.
I see know that the purpose of this tier list is to promote the upcoming Avatar Kyoshi Movie in the works. Brilliant.
Also, I would have loved to see how powerful Bumi was in his prime. The guy possibly could have had the power to move Mountain in his peak level of youth. I'm thinking young Bumi would have been an equal for Kyoshi.
Strong,master, genius, fast ,cute, funny ,and EDAN!!!
Toph Beifong ❤️
awesome video
I thought toph will be avatar level skills, until I forget there is avatar kyoshi and I agreed.
To me Toph is the greatest earthbender of all time...
Toph has to be number one did we forget she held up a huge building(library) in the desert single handedly for what seemed like hours to keep Aang and gang alive??? Might I add she is blind and was being attacked and lost grip at one point regained grip and had to tie her feet to the sand??? Toph all day.
Toph invented metal bending. If it wasn't for her no one would be metal bending and later on lava bending..
I honestly like the list of earthbenders but there is two other people missing. Su yin twin children, I believe the names are Wei and wing but this are the grandchildren of toph and not to mention they are ideal prodigies, I think they would fit at ROCK SOLID level because the both help each other to get strong
Honestly I think Kuvira could give Magneto a run for his money. If they went toe to toe, it's hard to say who would win.
Lol it’s magneto and it’s not even close. Magneto isn’t limited to metal purity like Kuvira is. He can also manipulate way more than Kuvira has ever shown and his magnetic force fields would essentially repel any attack that she can throw at him. She would have no answer for any of Magneto’s abilities.
@@connorbrechbill6516 I am pretty sure Ian Welsh is talking about the movie version of Magneto. Kuvira can probably overpower and outmaneuver the movie version of Magneto, but the comic version of Magneto (the one who can manipulate electromagnetism itself and create force fields) trashes her.
