The Red Lotus is a global militant anarchist organization, founded by Xai Bau as a splinter faction of the Order of the White Lotus after the Hundred Year War. Until 171 AG, the organization operated through sleeper cells, keeping their existence unknown to the world. The Red Lotus' agenda is to have the humans and spirits coexist again and usher in a new world order by dismantling the established nations and their leaders, which they originally planned to do by releasing Vaatu from his prison within the Tree of Time, and later by assassinating world leaders and ending the Avatar Cycle.

Sorry about some of the pronunciations, my voice actor is still getting familiar with all the names.
The Amagi He’s getting better than the last vid
For someone who’s never watched the show, the pronunciations where on point 😂
He needs to work on: Sokka, Mako, and Kaya
Ethan Maniquis True
The voice actor is doing their best. They'll get there.
Zuko should've been able to lightning bend in LOK. He wasn't a tortured soul anymore. With his spiritual balance and experience, Zuko should've been the most powerful lightning bender in the Avatar world. His personality in Korra was that of a kind & wise old man...like uncle Iroh.
Darrell Ross true he may of tried to bend lightning but just couldn’t.
He probably gave up on that and focus on raising his daughter.
He didn’t have the chance to. Ghazan was bombarding him with boulders and even if he could lightningbend, there’s no time to even do the motions.
@@huynhhai847 you're right about that. I just noticed how humanity was evolving in LOK. Lightning benders didn't have to do the motions in Korra. Blood benders didn't need the full moon. Lots of metal benders, etc. I agree with you, I guess I just like Zuko. He was my favorite character in ATLAB. And he does represent old school goodness.
@@nordenscan14life34 I Agree That Zuko Should Be A Better Fire Bender AND Should Be bending Lightnings. Although He Was never An Outstanding Firebender Age Should Have Do Its Part On Him.And He Wasnt Wise On ATLA Nor ATLOK. Never Said Something clever And His Role Was To Say Less, Disapointing. I Think All Fans Was Wainting Him To Be One Of, If's Not The Best, Firebender In The World.
@@nordenscan14life34 With Blood Bending in LOK, they kept it very specific to a Blood Linage that was able to Blood Bend without the full moon. Toph taught Metal Bending to expand the sub skill as she was proud but never thought anyone including her daughters who were extremely skilled Metal Benders never really got it down. Zuko made sure Lightning Bending wasn't Exclusive to the Inner Circle of Fire Nation and Royal Family and he allowed to be taught as its like Metal Bending and some people can get it, but doesn't mean they'll be amazing at it Like Azula arguably still the a top tier Lightning User
P’Li’s death was pretty brutal.
it was mind blowing
@Nova Karma shocking isnt it? Like Ming Hua's death..
@Nova Karma and ghazan's was groundbreaking
Syafiq Rahim please have mercy
@@shukry533 😂😂😂 I'm dead these were amazing
The Red Lotus were seriously underutilized. I think they should've been the villains of Season 4 instead of the Earth Empire.
yea red lotus should be the final boss rather than that stupid kuvira
Thats what i said!! Season 3 should’ve been the ending with jinora getting her tattoos as the shows series finale she looked just like aang
Yeah I absolutely agree! They were incredibly badass! They deserve to be the ultimate boss
sgauden02 I completely agree with this statment 😃
Now now we've seen a fight from ATLA where the two opposing forces are complete opposite of each other. One being a big hearted child and the other, a psycho who wants to rule the world. Thus, the resolve can only be one being defeated unwillingly. It's the better fight I would agree. But what they did to Korra is also great. A few would appreciate it but her fight with Kuvira is rather interesting. With the opposing sides being alike, being a reflection of each other, both of them are apprentices trying to better the people they succeeded, it is more of an internal fight, thus, the only resolve will be if they make up with each other. Some may say that Kuvira could've just killed Korra or vice versa but the world will not take it likely. Kuvira will be the world enemy having killed the Avatar and the Avatar will forever be an image of oppression if she's ever taken away the freedom of the Earth Empire to get a new kind of leadership.
You forgot about how Zaheer helped Korra to recover completely from the mental problems she was having in Season 4. Good video, though!
mental problems he caused
kevin garcia the fact is he helped her face her fears of not only him but of being good enough being needed she was convinced the world no longer needed her or an avatar and that subconsciously made her weak. yea it’s bad writing im retro spect as she’s always losing and always another villain like a stereotypical “anime” but yea he caused a lot of her issues
I think season 3 was their best season personally.
That’s more of a Zaheer life story video
Where can I watch these episodes after season 3 of the original show
When you base your expectations only on what you see, you blind yourself to the possibilities of a new reality.
How ?!?! Your not a bender !!!
If zaheer wasn't a bender before harmonic convergence, then how was he apart of the red lotus? What were his skills before?
@@hylo5300 I mean he must have been a really skilled martial artist and non bender his airbending was a combination of his own form of martial arts and his knowledge of Airbender culture and he was the leader so they more or less just followed a non bender..
@@hylo5300 And I think they didn't understand estimate him he must have been he must have been a really skilled non bender to be separated from the rest of the Red Lotus..
@@jankoleon3785 My guess is he was a really good martial artist and was a chi-blocker and also had a lot of knowledge and strategy, making him a good leader for the red lotus.
I always found it funny that Ming-Hua despite being born without arms (supposedly) knows how to drive a truck and put on a seatbelt 😂
😂😂😂
Ming-Hua: Holds a guy with a spike against his throat and a water claw like if she was venom.
Also Ming-Hua: "Safety First 😀" (puts on a seat belt before a car chase).
@@ColdFuse96 it would've been funny if when they were trying to escape the city she yells out "will somebody WITH ARMS get us out of here already" prompting ghazan or p'li to take the wheel
Super Blue Gamer 9000 let the blind girl pilot the airship
I thought it was dumb to let the armless woman drive a truck until I saw the water bending prosthetics
TLOK woulda been a lot more interesting if Korra were trained by the red lotus and raised into their philosophy. She'd face off with world and realize that the red lotus isn't right, but neither is the current world order, it would be a story of redemption and hard phyloshopical questions merged into a power fantasy of sorts.
what
Dude that would be awesome
I’m sorry but the misspelling of philosophical is so funny to me. “Phyloshopical” (figh-low-shop-eh-cuhl) okay I’ll stop now.
They can still do that with a future Avatar.
honestly i would KILL to see that. What would ever happen if an avatar wasn't raised in the right envirornment?
"Let go your earthly tether. Enter the void. Empty, and become wind."
Favorite quote from a cartoon.
I hope I Can obtain weightlessness too 😊😊😁
@@rutherford5247 You can. a loved one of yours needs to go through a mind-blowing experience
“Instinct is a lie told by a fearful body HOPING to be wrong”
I love this dude Zaheer man
i been having that quote on my IG bio the Wise guru laghima and zaheer
Such a male perspective
@@chrystianaw8256lmaooo girl what
Zaheer was the best villain. Surpassed only by Azula. People don’t give him or LoK in general the credit it deserves.
Sedd Zaheer has no purpose whatsoever. He just spouted philosophy that has no real impact. Anarchy is pointless and goes nowhere. Kovira was the best villain. Although the show could never compare to ATLA
@@jacobnewcombe5367 Nah Kuvira was fucking ass. She was the same as Ozai except worse. "Oh lets unite the earth kingdom by all forcing them to join us." That's basic textbook dictatorship.
The only reason why Kuvira could even progress so much is because Zaheer had crippled the Avatar.
And the good thing is that Kovira had a redemption arc...which most villains cant get
Hazey well by that logic every avatar villain is trash which is your opinion but i definitly dont agree
@@Iroh10800 Not really. Only Ozai wanted to take over the world and he was the first to do it so it was still original. Kuvira is literally doing the same thing with extra steps. Instead of a comet she has a giant as robot with spirit energy.
Zaheer, Amon and the water tribe guy had different goals. They didnt want to take over the world. It was refreshing and different.
Tenzin would have defeated Zaheer easily if he wasn’t taken on literally four to one.
Aang vs Zaheer's group.. Aang would win easily lol
I don't agree
@@ARandomSpace if we're talking about atla yes but not a complete stomped more a hard fought battle but if its lofk Aang pretty much a broom vs dust Aang being the broom
True, but Tenzin was an airbending master with decades of training and experience, while Zaheer only had his airbending for a few weeks and was never formally trained.
@@austincheng642 ok but all we have to scale zahear is his fights with airbending and statements by other characters so we have to use what we have to scale him
This is not the "history of the red lotus" this is just a recap of the third season...
@gus not really
where else would you find more?
ghazan was so cool and chill until he freaked out and killed himself
lub3 I know right, he was so badass and awesome, damn, I would love to learn to such master as him.
Yea he isn't really a bad guy just mislead:(
He kind of looked like an Aztec. He was awesome!
True. And he could've been a great mentor to Bolin, they got along really well.
Hell yeah! He was my favorite bad guy. Rock star hair, cool tats, & a surprisingly likeable personality. Ghazan may have been a villian, but he was too cool for school!
You gotta give it Tenzin. He held his own against Zaheer until the others jumped him
he held his own against all 3 until combustion girl blew him up
He was taking on all 3 of them until P'Li started bombarding him from the sky.
You got that backwards 😅; *Zaheer* barely managed to hold his own against Tenzin and was basically rescued by his crew.
To be fair though, I am pretty sure Zaheer knew this and was counting on exactly that.
That's a light way to put it. He was beating his ass
Actually he held his own against ALL of them for some time. He didn't give up even when cornered by 3 different elements at once.
White Lotus: Templars
Red Lotus: Assassins
TEMPLAR ASSASSIN
@@satoshiketchump shut up lol
Rouge is the reason I became a Templar fan
Assassin creed fans detected
Where can I watch these episodes after season 3 of the original show
To me the Red Lotus are the most amazing and skilled benders of all time! Ming Hua's fighting style is so amazing and deadly, and Zaheer is living proof of how dangerous an air bender can be! What to say about lava and combustion bending!
I would love a comic mini series focusing Zaheer's group before the show they might be villains but like any good villains they believe themselves to be heroes.
Everything in this video was clearly shown in LOK, I was really hoping for some new information/ester eggs. This was more of a recap of LOK season 3 than a 'history of the Red Lotus'
Such a click bait .
@@luiscruz3261 no it wasn't because this is all the information we have about the red lotus
@wanka wanka thanks it looks like op doesn't understand that the red lotus was created after the 100 year war when aang was already an adult so we literally got told everything about the red lotus
His earthly teather was love man the same thing aang refused to give up.
Forgot to mention that Korra's dad was saved by Kuvira who later became the villain in season four.
That's not related to red lotus 🤔
@@krishsehgal9170 zaheer tried to kill Korra's dad. Season three was the most interesting season of The Legend of Korra in my opinion. Some speculated that Zaheer is Kuvira's dad.
@@johnshafer7214 yeah season 3 was my favorite
Worst character introduction ever
Tarek ayk Fr though!
Zaheer was a good villain, but imagine how incredible he could have been if he had stuck to his own moral code, and was given a little more screen time. He freed the prisoners, talked calmly to Team Avatar and tried to be peaceful with the Airbenders. My big gripe with him is that the Red Lotus were the ones who went back on the deal, it would have been a lot more impactful if they had continued to stick to their word, and then Jinora said what would happen to Korra and that's what caused the fight to break out. It would have made him a more complex villain, as he makes a fair point about that worlds leaders making things worse and he always honored his word, and could have possibly given him a real redemption arc in season 4 upon realizing what Kuvira had done in the anarchy he created.
Ming Hwa is my favorit ,she just so powerfull ,,handless water bender ,just so scary ,realy master her bender
ikr
Armless*
I love her too!
@@lolzguyl Armless but never harmless!!! 😱😱😱
Mine was P'li Too bad she does not have a head anymore 😞
The legend of Korra doesn’t seem that bad, I wonder what’s with all the hate it gets
It comes from the vocal minority that hates the show for having different aesthetics and characters.
@@vetarlittorf1807 the dislike isn't about the characters or aesthetics. It's about the way the show ignores a lot of the world building from ATLA. People ARE also salty that we didn't get a proper sequel with the ATLA characters but the show isn't nearly as well written as ATLA.
@@Velldog It doesn't ignore any world building...It EXPANDS it. You got the ATLA comics as sequels and although I agree ATLA is better written, it's mostly due to nickelodeon screwing up with bryke( bryan and michael) so they came into the show not really sure how long it'll be or how many epidoes and screen time they'll have to work with. Imo they did a ridiculously good job with what they were given and made a fair successor for ATLA.
The hate is all completely fabricated bullshit perpetrated by whiny little bitchboys. Don't pay attention to those losers.
@@zh7334 Pop off sis.
The only reason that ALOK felt disjointed from season to season is because Nickelodeon didn't have the balls to just greenlight the entire thing start to finish.
You gotta give Bumi, Kya and Tenzin credits during the battle at the northern air temple. Kya literally fought ming hua, the most dangerous waterbender. A somehow unskilled Bumi fought a veteran lava bender ghazan and still managed to hit him. And tenzin fought all four by himself
tonraq,tenzin,soka and fire lord zuko taking down whole red lotus shows how strong this guys were
Zaheer is my favorite villain tbh he is savage THE MAN UNLOCKED FLYING BRUH
The pronunciations hurt to hear sometimes. Nitpicky I know sorry.
Ghezen
Keeyah
Makeo
Its not nitpicky
I'm having flashbacks
2:59 he said "Soaka"
It's also annoying that he keeps switching pronunciations
Love this can you make more videos about avatar the last air bender and legend of korra your the best
*Zaheer stated that only Unalaq wants to free the dark spirit so it's already wrong. 🤷♀️*
Ok. Only because I don’t know who KEEEYAAA is.
Kya is the sister of Tenzin, she's a water bender
But its pronounced as Kaya. I always find it weird how when it is already laid out how its pronounced people stll get it wrong
@@froshtea he used kiya and kaya right after... how does one do that when you should know its the same character. -.-
@@rudeboi-wk1ou ikr. But i give him props for trying!
Shruti Jaharia I know who Kya is. I’ve binge watched this show like a thousand times. And even then Kya is an ok water bender, even though she learned from a technical master
Bolin chatting up the red lotus is still one of my favorite scenes.
4 insanely powerful benders struggle to kill korra.
Meanwhile azula single handedly one shot aang and killed him in his avatar state without any problem.
Yup
ATLA is best
Ki-Ah May-Koe Ga-zan. I think the voice actor should watch the show. I think that'll make it sound better and the voice actor could voice his own opinions and make the video sound less bland more personal and overall better.
*Scholel* he has. He’s a different ethnicity so that’s why
Not going lie, these four villains were my favorite part of the entire LOK series. They’re good enough to just make comics about their backstories honestly, I would love that
HISTORY OF THE RED LOTUS ha more like what the red lotus did
History ≠ Origins. What they did is now their history.
Is it just me? Or would anyone else have liked to see a flashback of Tonraq, Zuko, Sokka and Tenzin fighting the Red Lotus? I would've loved seeing them fight side by side
3:00 why you pronounce “Sokka” like that?
and when he pronounces “mako”
I wish the villains in season 4 should have been those liquid metal benders. We can all admit they were awesome and we should’ve seen more of liquid metal bending. Plus it would make more sense because the red lotus was the ultimate villains.
This is a fantastic video! You cleared some questions up for me about the history of the res lotus so I'm happy I found your video.
It would’ve been a good What if series if the Avatar would’ve join the Red Lotus. It would be terrifying.
Zaheer is one of my Favorit charakters. He is able to fight without bending and also so spiritual and calm. Just an amazing dude and so wise.
*favorite *characters
So sokka became such a talented non bender that he was fighting alongside the most powerful benders in the world
Watch up to 1:40 that’s all you need to know
P’li’s death blew my mind, and Ming Hua’s death was shocking.
Edit: I forgot to mention that Ghazan’s death brought the house down
Ha.
Was the pun intended or not? (Ming Hua's death being "shocking" as in Ming was LITERALLY ELECTROCUTED.)
@Zachary Chandra yes
Wait a moment,all of these are puns!
P'Li literally blew up her own mind,Ming Hua got electrocuted,and Ghazan brought himself down.
Random Page no offense but no shit Sherlock
Dude your pronunciation of chi, Mako, iroh, and Kya throws me off so much
Is nobody really gonna talk about how he called sokka like they did in the m knight shyamalon movie 😤
Zaheer is a genius. FAVORITE ANTAGONIST
the way he pronounced some of the names 😭
This is bothering me. His name is Mah-koh, but Mae-koh. I know they are doing their best though and I appreciate the effort. Thank you for the video!!!
humans can barely stand each other, how the hell do they think we wouldn't start another war against the spirits?
Omg I started watching Avatar in Netflix last week and without any search in yt I got these recommendations? Yt knows what I really need rn
@@weimou6568 nonsense. Stop spoiling the mind of others just because you don't like it. Lok is awesome. In some ways it's better that atla. Better animations. More political theme, better fights and villians and hard more darker scenes. Y'all atla fanboys can't get this into your heads.
Theophilus Onyiri LOL atla was still more mature than lok, by dark do u mean how korra literally dated almost everyone in her friend group, even making mako cheat? cuz that’s pretty dark to me.
@@weimou6568 that's your opinion. I think lok is more matured and by dark,i mean how things like deaths were shown. The earth queen,amon and tarlock,p'li etc. Even how korra was poisoned. You make dumb points in arguments
@@weimou6568 i love lok more and there's no nonsense you are gonna spit out that's gonna make me change my mind
Superray14 i actually like the legend of Korra better cos of red lotus , chi blockers and theme songs ..
So the ability of flying is equal to the mangekuo sharingan
this ain't naruto buddy get your ass out of here
@@mattresscoolkidsuper4914 I mean when you unlock it, calm down
StanZaGod that has nothing to do with what you said at first ?
@@mattresscoolkidsuper4914 never mind then
@@mattresscoolkidsuper4914 buddy dont act toxic if you have a different opinion show it
You forgot to mention that sokka died in the fight against the red lotus, that's why zaheer got his scar too
that's not canon yet
It would’ve been awesome if they had a backstory episode of the Red Lotus attempting to kidnap Korra in Book 3
8:33 P'Chi's chai latte
I had my issues with LoK, but I really enjoyed what they did with Zaheer. Continuing the trend of showing that every bending discipline is capable of good & evil.
Zaheer shows a strong understanding of airbending technique and philosophy, although his own personal skew is reflected in his style of using it. Asphyxiation, meditation, and levitation. He's also one of the few villains to stand by his ideals, even to the very end.
Love how zareeh was some big bad airbender that studied ancient techniques but tenzin still got him until it was a numbers game
Yeah cause Tenzin was an Airmaster while Zaheer had 2 weeks with his Airbending and all his knowledge before then. He was very much a prodigy like Toph and Azula were. His aggressive style of air bending is effective, but if trained for a year before moving forward with his plan, he probably would of been able to rival Tenzin, but Tenzin was showing him his hands as a badass master before being jumped
Nano's Squad couldn’t agree more my man
it could’ve been cool if their was a hybrid of some sort, an earth/fire/water bender that became an air bender due to the shift, making them a hybrid bender
The Red Lotus showed how incapable Korra was both in skill and in purpose.
Thinking about it, the Red Lotus would have been the best teachers for Korra teaching her high level bending techniques.
Sokka(Sock-Ah) not soak-ah
Mako(Mah-Kho) not may-ko
Kaya(kai-ah) not kay-ah
Yeh that was pissing me off
The thing that pisses me the most is that Iroh voice actor who died was named Mako.
@@yuanonio3502 yea so It makes the misproununciation much worse. It was cool they tried to encorporate him into Korra. Iroh(s) too. But it just sucked how Mako in the show was a bit of a wet blanket.
Josh Grooman I feel like his character would’ve been better if a relationship continued with Korra bc after that he was almost irrelevant and only on the show bc of his past relationship with her
Avatar Wan was a great man, he was doing what's best for the world.
I agree with wan choice of closen the portals
The way you pronounce some of the char's names makes me think if you've even heard their name in the show yet. XP
The best season in kora
Amazing video I think Zaheer philosophy is really interesting. Watch out for more amazing content.
Amagi - says he's making a history of the red lotus
Also Amagi - actually makes a korra season 3 recap like a boss
I just found your channel and tbh i love all your content!!!!
I think it’s K - EYE - A not K - EE - A
ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ ᖇᗩᗰᗴᑎ its k yuh not kye
(Kya)
Kaya(kya)
How can you mispronounce my Boi Sokka like that at 3:00
2:59 is the correct time stamp
Zuko didn't get enough time on screen i would've liked to see him fight more
This channel pronounce every name wrong possible, why? You’re such a good channel.
Okay but why do you keep saying “mAikO” ITS “MAKO”
Allen McClure dude it pissed me off the whole video
Allen McClure it specifically ruined his very well put together lure video
Calm down yeeesh
Look at the comment that was pinned by channel
Family business back in swing on the road so far
I must say, Legend Of Korra Villains are very interesting. Zaheer is my favourite
With a different writing perspective, he can be the protagonist.
please do one on history of combustion benders
Realy sounds like he's reading a script since he butchers every name. And multiple times even, as in he says it different each time. Like i understand he might just be the voiceiver guy and someone else writes the scripts. But atleast watch 1/2 episodes to know how the names are purnounced
Meko
Love these videos but sometimes you pronounce things so awfully wrong
Thank you ssssoooooooo much for still uploading Avatar videos!
I think Korra’s mother was the Sokka’s child as how else would Tanrock be chief
"Devoid of moisture" yeah, she could've weaponized her own pee.
Platinum handcuffs. Lol. You could break it with your hands
I thought about that too but the most you can urinate at a time is like 1-2 cups at absolute max and I dont think that was enough to make her escape. She was still suspended in air and surrounded by armed guards... She needed enough water to swing out and to fight back. She has no arms 2 cups could not get her out and with the dry air the water would begin to evaporate and the guards would not allow her to pool the water for several hours anyway. They chained her when they gave her water to drink and only gave enough to keep her alive. That prison was well thought out.
Platinum is pretty strong.
I don't think you can break platinium with your hands
imagine them working with azula
6:40 I like how Ming Hua and Ghazan were chilin
See? amazing storytelling yall
"ga-zan" "make-o" "kee-a" you sure youve watched the series??
He has a voice actor and that guy never watched the series.
why do you pronounce damn near every vowel wrong?
8.35 "block the chi's. Chie"
fun fact: the person who voiced Zaheer is Henry Rollins who was the longest lasting member of the hard core punk band Black Flag.
2:59 who is this Chief ‘Soaka’ it’s pronounced Sokka!
at what episode this scene 2:59 was shown ?
How you gonna pronounce a person's name 2 different ways in a span of less than 7 seconds
Its so cool that the red lotus were at opposite cells of thier elements
Great work man! Keep it up
You are incorrectly pronouncing names it sounds like you are M Night Shamylan
Kraya River uung
I mistake the red lotus as the white lotus. I never watched The Legend of Korra so I kinda came into this blindly but still interesting nonetheless!
Sam Dude They put there next videos in playlists days before they post them, it’s a little Easter egg for big fans. If you check the Avatar playlist now you’ll see the next video.
리아나 you should the show a change in my opinion it’s worth it
@@theduck6334 I'll try. I haven't heard many good reviews about the show only negative reviews so I feel like I've now just got this influenced dislike towards TLOK and I loved ALTA with a passion so I lowkey don't wanna be disappointed. BUT I will try watching the first book for the sake of making my own review 😌
@@samdude1526 I didn't realize it was unlisted when I watched it tbh, I was just binge watching Avatar clips all over RUclips at the time. Perfect timing I guess 😂
리아나 i get it I love ALTA to but I think the most hate to Tlok comes from nostalgia towards ALTA. Books 1,3,4 are amazing 2 is definitely not bad but just not that good. The show( TLOK) is definitely worth watching but it had some missed potential because of nic
where was all the unaloq stuff mentioned? i don't recall those details from the show
The Red Lotus went hard as fuck. More of a fan of the Red Lotus than the White Lotus.
“Ga-zan”...”Make-o”🥴
Chief Sou-ka 🙄
"kee-ya" .-.
These names were brought to you by M. Night Shyamalan.
He definitely pronounced Ghazan right
Tai Perez he definitely didn’t at 7:31. He did get it right a couple times before though.
First he said kiya then he said keya. Umm keep trying ur best?
I like this channel. It really goes into detail about the world of Avatar
you: *pronounces most of the names wrong*
me: MY, OH MY, SOMEONE CLEARLY DOESNT LISTEN WELL.
