Zaheer is the leader of the Red Lotus, a martial arts expert, and an anarchist, who strongly believes in the foundation of a new world without the Order of the White Lotus, the four nations, or the Avatar. After the Harmonic Convergence of 171 AG, he also became an airbender and, after having let go of his final earthly tether, he unlocked the ability of flight, becoming the second person ever to have done so. While in pursuit of his goals, Zaheer and three of his comrades were captured and imprisoned in separate, high-security prisons. Upon becoming an airbender thirteen years later, he escaped the custody of the Order of the White Lotus and subsequently freed his allies from prison, including his girlfriend P'Li. He threw the Earth Kingdom into chaos by killing the Earth Queen and attempted to end the Avatar Cycle by killing Avatar Korra while she was in the Avatar State. This attempt failed and Zaheer's comrades were killed, leaving him as the only survivor of their group of four. Following his defeat, Zaheer was once again imprisoned, this time in a new facility near Republic City. To his disappointment, he heard of Kuvira placing the people of the Earth Kingdom under her military dictatorship, thus rendering his attempt to free them from oppression futile. Hoping Korra could stop her, Zaheer helped Korra in 174 AG to meditate into the Spirit World and let go of her fear of him and of "what might have been".

Sorry about the cutting around in some parts of the video, we had to trim some sections out to remove a claim
Of course youtube just had to ruin the video I was looking forward to the most 😡
The cutting around only happened like 4 times in a 20 minute video so it wasn’t too bad
yes
I think theirs an error
Make a video about the Imperial firebenders(Royal processions)
When you realize that in the fire nations perspective Aang and his friends where like the red lotus.
That's because they were meant to be a dark gaang 2.0.
“Do you think you are the first person to believe your war is justified”
William Schnefke no
DK Gaming ohh my god yes
Bro that’s my theory on why season 3 was such a good season
Zaheer was my favorite villain of the entire series .
No Amon
@@deathsquad7674 you misunderstood . I said Zaheer was MY favorite villain .
Me too
@@deathsquad7674 that was his favorite, not yours
Deathsquad 76 its something called an *opinion*
Who else thinks he looked the best with his beard and long hair
Meeee

Here

Not me
Whether you like him or hate him, zaheer is honestly a prodigy. Imagine if he had years of airbending training, he would be unstoppable.
Get the AK-47
@@acat3772 He'd bend the bullets away, then slam the shooter into the ground hard enough to break every bone.
I think he know airbending that much bcoz he was supposed to be Korra's airbending teacher.
@@hatekataraandillbreakyoure3407 how would he be her teacher if he wasn’t a bender
@@breathyy5963 he still would be able to teach her
It took almost four powerful benders to take down Tenzin. His physical resilience is underrated.
This!
Tenzin is an S tier bender and ppl sleep on his abilities too much. The man would've defeated 3 red lotus members if P'li wasn't there.
he was legit holding em all of until Pli started also blasting, 1v1 zaheer easy win, 1v2 easy too, 1v3 tenzins still holding his own, 1v4 is what it took to actually win
@@lolickypeepee23xdd6 but I also think if Zaheer had the same years of experience in airbending training as tenzin, he’d be as good if not better than him
@@manunited1235sure but he didn’t have that experience plain and simple, so Zaheer was completely outmatched, you can argue that given enough time, Zaheer could beat Tenzin 1v1, but how much time would that take? Longer than it would take to be defeated by everyone from team avatar
Man, he deserves more detailed backstory, although we know his story as a teenager, we didn't know what his origins and what nation he was born, that will remain as a mystery
He was most likely a earth kingdom street orphan how hated society and only wanted to be free and with the natural world
@@fantasy-artist4425 I agree, you'll first notice it when you look at the color of his eye but it would be much better if the creators confirmed that he's originated in the earth kingdom
He was born in the northern Earth Kingdom, near the Northern Air Temple
@@samuelbarbosadossantos247 "a small village from the north, you've probably never heard of it"
@@DarkSoul-jj2rv Exactly!
imagine how powerful zaheer would have been if he was good i mean the guy is a non bender and he learned quickly without even being taught
I don't think Zaheer is a bad guy, he is more of an anti hero with a disturbing cult like world view. He does seem to care for people but he has an extreme way of helping them.
Gabriel Grimm in short he has tunnel vision......i think
Gabriel Grimm he follows his ideals his way not giving a danm about what anyone says
Gabriel Grimm ehhh depends on your definition of good and bad. By all accounts from an objective persoective he’s a bad guy. He wants freedom which is good, but his version or ideal of freedom is a dangerously skewed misconception that will only bring about chaos and suffering. I.e. Anarchism. Which is objectively bad. It doesn’t help he also goes ahout this objectively ‘bad’ goal in a ‘bad’ way by targeting world leaders. Granted killing the earth queen is arguably a ‘good’ thing comsidering how corrupt she is, or was at least. But he planned to do the same to everyone else with a position of authority including korra. On top of that killing her also lead to a muchhhh worse individual taking power through force. Sooo yeah objectively speaking he’s a bad guy. But depening on your own moral views I can see why people would make a case for him as a anti hero. Although I think that classification isn’t exactly apt either
Plus he's globalist
I love him as a character. Up until he tired to end the cycle, I though he was actually a good guy who was misunderstood.
He's a good example of a person with good intentions blinded by ideology.
I don't think destroying the cycle makes him a mad person. It's the means that couldn't be justified to get to that end.
@@elcastro5000 If he actually succeeded in killing Korra and and all the world leaders after just a few years of chaos he would be like: "What have I done?"
Did you realize that they imprisoned for 13 years how they even poop
@@NAME13786 they poop in a bucket in the cell
At the fight with Korra having been forced into the Avatar state, Korra's technique of flying with her feet by fireblasts, reminds me of Ozai during Sozin's comet
it did epic fights man
And she was fighting an air bender who spent the entire time fleeing her attacks, they even flew through very similar stone pillars. I think it was a purposeful inversion of the two season three finales.
@@mariouribe4083 that's right never thought of it this way
Because she used the same thing he did jet propulsion.
Lowkey think Korra got to learn everything Aang wanted to learn. Or atleast got to learn bending skills that we didnt get to see Aang doin
Y’all forgot he studied the teachings of a Airbending Guru for years, maybe that’s why he caught on quick to air bending.
I think you’re right, eastern beliefs about martial arts and chi is central to the avatar universe. We have to infer what we learn from Iroh about what bending is. Bending is the command of chi through your body and then extending that chi outside your body to command an element and every nation commands their chi with a unique martial arts fighting style. Then guru patik shows Aang that you have more chi flow when you are not blocking your chakras with various illusions that inhibit each chakra in a different way. Zaheer was the most dangerous criminal in the world before he was granted air bending for a reason, it was his skills and knowledge. Zaheer was obsessed with air nomad culture and philosophy, I’m certain he mastered their fighting style and aligned his chi with that of an air bender long before the spirit world granted him the ability.
Zaheer was the greatest villiain in the legend of korra
@@marafrederick8331 Certainly my favorite even back when it first came out, Amon a close second, though the reveal and rushed conclusion kind of ruined the overall situation. If only Nickelodeon had guaranteed them more instead of pulling it on them later that, "Yep, you got more funding!"
I agree he must have already had some idea of the concepts of air bending but he blended them with his already mastered martial arts allowing him to learn it quickly but with no master he could never master it properly like Tenzin
Looking back at zaheer although he was painted as an enemy he really truly wanted peace his ideology was different but he wanted peace n equality
Anarchism
ANARCHY
He didnt really want peace. He wanted people to be free to make their own choices
anarchy =/= peace, its pure disorder where everyone fights for themselves with no rules limiting you. if theres no police or government at all, people would certainly go around deleting each other for their own gain though him killing the earth queen i had no issue with, problem is killing world leaders leaves power vacuums and eventually some leaders would get support and eventually make it to power like kuvira did
@@z.incognito6259 thats better
*The Life of Zaheer:*
1. Zaheer cannot fly into *Za Heer* but everything changed when the Bei Fongs attacked.
Za Heer
Za - The
Heer - Air
😂
*but everything changed when P'li dies*
I love that XD
@@DarkSoul-jj2rv that's rough buddy
@Deylan Acasio nice puns
Zaheer was probably my favorite villain in LoK, and I kinda wish the entire story had been about the Red Lotus.
That would've been awesome.
They should write an avatar on the “villains” perspective like i kinda want to see a vaatu avatar that’s likeable but definitely doesn’t know what’s best for the world. I’d like to see how he interacts with civilians. Maybe like a 60 40 like aang and zuko. Atla story is just almost a story about zuko too. It would also create true balance. Not one avatar can control everything. Also just think about the character arc the avatars could go through
Same
He was hardly even a villian. IMO Zaheer is the ideal example of a anti-hero. Someone without a heart wouldn't have saved Pl'i.
That was his girlfriend tho
@@Americahasaproblemchile Not at the time, that was how they met. Zaheer stumbled across her when they were very young, Pl'i was being trained by a warlord to be a weapon of destruction so Zaheer broke her out and they fell in love
AYDEN GREENE thanks for explaining 😂 I actually rewatched the season while getting my hair braided the other day and was like “oh that’s what they were talking about on UA-cam 🤭”
@@Americahasaproblemchile U good
Yeah, Kovira sure didn’t give a hecc about her significant other
I love Zaheer. I love airbending the most so seeing it used to augment someone’s lethal abilities it’s great.
The one technique used by to kill hou ting is the lethal version of the technique of avatar yangchen
Zaheer was the second to basically become air nomad jesus
The second coming
His discipline was genius
Air nomad Jesus lol
In my opinion, out of all the villains in the LOK, Zaheer is my favorite
i liked that lava dude becase we neever got to see lava bending before
Amon for me Zaheer second
Zaheer was the greatest villiain in the legend of korra
Buz Boy something about the original airbenders being moral and twisting that into zaheer its just perfect
Rashin Estino I know right
Rashin Estino “An airbender never attacks a defenseless opponent....but that was very good technique”
Spark That J yes
Nah amon is better
I know I’m supposed to not like them cuz their going against my heroes but you cannot DENY how badass the whole red lotus squad is!
Guys comment who your favorite red lotus member is!
Also who else loves Zaheer’s “nice/friendly voice” he uses when talking to regular civilians? Subtle detail but kinda funny
My favorite in terms of character and personality is Zaheer, My favorite in terms of favorite bending style is Ghazan
matt roberts wise choices I respect that
Ghazan and Zaheer
I have never heard of anyone describe henry rollins’ voice as nice/friendly
Ghazan
I’m just mad Aang never learned how to Fly 😩
Jamarcus King I mean he liked katara so that would have never been possible
He couldn’t have he was attached to katara. U need to free the mind and body to fly.
When his gf died witch was his main attachment that allowed him to fly because his mind was now free.
also he could in avatar state anyways
@@draco4450 he could. He unlocked his 7th chi.
This guy has balls.
I'd also like to see a fight between Kuvira and Zaheer.
I have 2 big balls
@Drex Your Ex I’m gonna have to disagree with you there.
Kuvira would be like now this is a challenge while both choke each other to death
You know Zaheer can help Korra and the others to defeat Kuvira but being Korra's mentor to find herself again is good for him.
Zaheer would've won without a problem lol
Zaheer is my favourite character in Korra.
Avatar Nicky Grafen realy
He had hair?
I forget he had eyebrows 😂😂
Jamal Shuaib I’m serious.
mine too
Me watching ATLA: Hey couldn’t Airbenders suffocate people with their bending? That’d be cool!
Me watching TLoK: 😨
The fact that Zaheer suffocated the Earth queen shows how brutal and dangerous Airbenders can be.
the air nomads could have been worse than the fire nation, the world got lucky they were non violent and generally used only defensive bending techniques
I like how they made an airbender one of the ultimate villains in the series because before they victimized them before during the 100 year war
He always scared me. Even now his facial expressions, creepy smile, and that crave for threats and all the things he does
Zaheer is one of the best villains, no argue. He is one of my favorite characters from the WHOLE avatar universe.
Zaheer is basicly Korra's main villain. After all he was hinted in the first two seasons, through being the reason why Korra was sheltered and having history with Unaloq.
She even needed to go back to him for exposure therapy in order to regain her strength. Korra could never escape Zaheer.
You need to face your fears, in order to defeat them.
Korra has to face zaheer, I had to face my fear of not being a good friend. Which was proofed to be wrong

This guy deserves his air bending master tattoos
He could have earned them but he wasn’t worthy
@@champran5om bro he can fly not even that he proved that gurú lajima studies are true
To get the tattoos you must also have the religion
@@christiebehrens5855 what religion?
@@TonyZ420 The airnomad religion search it up, I’ll get mine soon!
Zaheer breaks out of a prison , jailing the fire bender guards
"Long ago the 4 nations lived together in Harmony but it all changed when the Air Nation attacked"
wait a minute….
Hold up wait a minute,something ain't right...
DAMMIT AIR TEMPLE!
When Zaheer said to the Avatar that he thought Her possibilities are limitless, it goes to show that he himself is scared of her in a way
I love how the show didn't shy away from murder especially with these benders
Amon is my fav villlain in korra but I wish he was just a straight up chi blocking non bender instead of an op bloodbender
HustleGamer “Your fire bending is gone...FOREVER”
Hands down the coolest villain and air bender in avatar series.
As you can see air bending can be breathless! :D
I’ve been waiting for this one. I love Zaheer
jahi جاهي I love the whole Red Lotus squad. Who is your favorite member ? Mine is Ming Hua 💦
One of my favorite theories about Zaheer is that he was one of Aang’s son, but he got his bending taken away and that’s why he knows so much about Air Nomad culture and why he wants to kill the avatar
Zaheer was a martial artist that's why he knew how to use is airbending when he got it he also studied air Nomad culture cuz he was interested in it so when are bending he was able to use it to its full advantage in just a short amount of time he is not related to Aang in fact the here might be just a teeny bit older than Aang
Dumb theory
Guys relax I just said it was a theory it doesn’t mean it’s canon
Yeah i know
I don’t know if this is a known theory but I like to think him as ty Lee’ son. For this theory to work though you have to involve another theory which is that ty lee is an air bender. These theories answer questions like how Zaheer could fight so well and how he knew so much about the air nomad culture.
If we look at the story of avatar wan, we realize that the air nomads of that era were able to fly too. This is shown when they take food from the trees and fly back to the lion turtles
They weren't truly flying, they were propelling themselves with airbending. Different
With that logic tho, firebenders would also be flying. Because they could also just use fire on their feet and propel themselves forward
When zaheer got his power he used it like he was a born air bender he was so good with it....it’s unbelievable
I dont really think Ming-Hua was born without arms.
What makes you think that
Max Contreras I think some jealous cruel cunt saw how talented she was with swords ⚔️ and also her bending and cut off her arms so she could compete anymore of basically do anything. But she proved them wrong with them “water arms”
She was.
@@zaheeroftheredlotus8197 no she wasn’t she mad wouldn’t have bandages if so
She was born armless
That fascinating about zaheer he reminds of a evil aang and how he gathers his anti avatar group especially reminds me of them and why book 3 was one of best seasons in my opinion cuz it takes us back to earth kingdom and ba sing se as well as other regions (misty palms) that was last seen in OG series
This guy’s a pretty good upgrade compared to a flying laser kite
Zaheer was deadass the most epic character in kora by far
Dude honestly besides the whole trying to kill Korra thing Zaheer had some pretty great points.
Pretty genious how zaheer saved his friends in the order he did he saved Ghazan because he knew Ghazan a lavabender would have an advantage in the volcano Ming hua was in and Ming hua before pli because Ming wa has the advantage in the north pole
Zaheer is one of the most powerful air bender of all time..
No, but he is strong
@@Evenneve He is more Powerful
He lost to tenzin
@@Evenneve I expected much of that from tenzin, he's an air bender right from birth..,Zaheer isn't that way.., The way zaheer fought is impressive.., He is the first to fly without stick..too
Yeah i know but you said that he was one of the most powerful airbenders and if he fought any other airbender i would lose
Amagi!
Nice vid keep up the good work
I find it rather INTERESTING how ppl in the comments are like "Oh, Zaheer is so misunderstood" "He is still a good guy just different ideology" etc etc when buddy really tried to PERMANENTLY end the avatar cycle(heavy on the permanent) and y'all overlook that but wanna be mad at Korra for losing the connection with the past lives when it was out of her control. Ok😐. I digress.
It's midnight in my time and I'm this early 😂
I swear zaheer one of the best airbenders he literally teleported and can locate people and talk to his friend while talking to korra
Zaheer honestly might have been one of my favorite characters in the entire avatar history
Which character should we cover next?
Tenzin please
Mako
the royal earth fammly
Mako
Momo
Some video ideas
Cuisine in the world of avatar
Technology in the world of avatar

Spirit types in the world of avatar
Love the video 😄 keep up the good work 😁
24:00 Wow Korra should thank Zaheer to lead him to Spirit world when he heard about Kuvira take over Earth kingdom. Right after he freed Red Lotus and join him to end Avatar.
Phantom Eye Korra in spirit world: “Do you know where my friends are ?”
Zaheer: “No, but you do...😉”
Red Lotus is the strongest team of all time that's beyond controversy.Zaheer can fly and he is full of tact .Ming Hua's attack is very aggressive and her mobility is matchless.P'Li is second in command in Red Lotus and the combustion she makes with her third eye is powerful.Ghazan uses his lava bending can annihilate the whole air temple and the wall of earth kingdom.
Koh the face stealer!
Ricky Vasquez “Oh something about stealing the face of someone you love” 😁
Btw all I care about is that u upload please take ur time and I love ur video’s
So cool that Zaheer and P’Li were the perfect match for each other. Fire and air one can’t be without the other
My favorite villains and what they are my favorite for in LOK:
As for purpose - Amon
As for philosophy - Zaheer
As for personality - Kuvira
And participation and ambition goes to Tarlock
Zaheer means poison in Turkish (it’s actually “zehir” but u get the point) it’s just the perfect name for him
zaheer shows how deadly an airbending can be
Zaheer when Korra revisited him looked like he hadn't just been frequently visiting the spirit world, but that he may had more than a few conversations with Iroh while there.
I've been waiting for this video since I first learned of Zaheer's character. I wish we had gotten to see more of him. Book 3 of Korra (for me) was better than the entirety of _Avatar_ : _The Last Airbender_ (for me, at least. I realize many will disagree). But I feel that Zaheer was a _much_ better villain and character than Ozai and also a more complete. After book 3 of LoK, I was actually disappointed and let-down in regards to the whole Kuvira plot.
You are very probably the most in-depth channel out there when it comes to character biographies. I REALLY enjoy your content and check your channel daily. Until this video on Zaheer, my favorite video used to be your Red Lotus vid. I'm _SO_ glad you decided to put this out! Please keep it up! ❤️
I actually liked book 4 a lot. Definitely not as good as book 3, but it's like a $50 bill vs a $100 bill. Both still have great value
Zaheer was right about the white lotus though. They should've stayed true to their mission instead of being the avatars bodyguards.
Thanks for the info
Edit: keep up the vids ❤️✅
Funny thing is that the earth queen didn’t hear his speech. Sound doesn’t travel in a vacuum
I have a theory, What if Unalaq betrayed the red lotus not just because of the desire to merge with Vaatu and and reinfornce his spiritual theocracy, but he also found out that since the Avatar was his own niece, she'd be more inclined to trust him? Also, What if the Red Lotus' chaos motif was inspired by Vaatu?
Very likely
5:47 "Zaheer managed to avoid being Wall"
Loooool
Zaheer is a really great airbender and They're perfect for a Team Avatar
I do love the idea of Zaheer being helpful in S4 to Korra’a growth because while it sounds terrible in theory of a villain who was only barely stopped from killing the main character, it makes sense with their characters. Korra’s in a dark place and got desperate, meanwhile Zaheer realized that the new Earth Sictator was running around and being a man of peace and freedom, realized the best chance at stopping her was helping the Avatar, helping her to take on someone the Zaheer would have taken on had he not been imprisoned
3rd COMMENT EPICCC Do history of Rava and vaatu
In my opinion he was the best villain in legend of korra
Same
Great job 👍
*“Where there is no law, there is no freedom”*

He’s gone from evil to neutral
What are the chances I look up Zaheer on UA-cam today and this video from 5 days ago exists?
Zaheer’s probably one of the most interesting characters in the Avatar franchise. He went from anarchist to spiritual guide. Hell, in the end, he made Korra a better Avatar and person by helping her let go of her ptsd.
20 minutes!? i am here for this!!!!
How did he master airbending so fast? He was in prison and only had two weeks
I think it's because he was already in the headspace of an air bender and he is self taught that's why he so powerful
Everyone thinks that their way of life or thinking is always right. Zaheer really thought that all the violence he did was justified to get rid of the "control" of organized government. This is exactly why you need levels of organized authority cause there's always going to be those who do things out of bounds and believe that they can just whatever to whoever. This doesn't mean that government doesn't need oversight but they do serve a purpose in terms of setting up boundaries in which we can manuever within.
Dude was a beast, and he just got his bending that season
Zaheer was an air bending master in theory and philosophy. That's why he was so much more knowledgeable on air nomad culture compared to bumi and kaya comnined. His plan was to train Korra, and they had masters for each element. P'Li for fire, Ghazan for earth, Ming Hua for water and you guessed it Zaheer for air.
While he wasn't as good as Tenzin, and they only defeated him cuz they teamed-up against him. Shame on them.
Is it really prison if you can just pop into the spirit world anytime you want? Not to mention he could walk through a portal and his spirit would freely move around the physical world.
