You covered almost every sub-bending element, except one "sand-bending", I realize that there were only a few instances of it in ATLA, but it's still a sub-bending ability tied to earth-bending even if it is only practiced by a handful of nomadic tribes. IMO it'd probably get ranked fairly low.
There's also glassbending too, and Immortality that Kyoshi learned from Lao Ge which is technically originate from Earthbending. Also not really a sub element but Dust-stepping was a thing during Kyoshi's era. Earth really holds endless possibilities.
is crystal bending also considered sub-bending element? the crystal thing that bumi bends and eats. I also think that sound-bending is possible and is unique to air benders.
@@redswordz9131 crystal bending is and isn't really a sub category. That was the only and only instance we seen someone do that. Yes he made a grabbing motion and the crystals broke off katara and and sokka but there's no cases where yiu can create it yourself. You'd have to be surrounded by it which is only exist in specific locations. It's not really worth mentioning
I feel like Aang at least had partial spiritual projection. Since he went into a spirit form often but couldn’t be seen/communicate much. A early form of it or even the bases of it.
Toph is very reluctant to allow anyone else to touch her feet, probably because insensitive handling there would make her deaf to other vibrations and thereby render her helpless (and because they are far more sensitive than other people's feet).
@@Minci_theone I'm talking about the scene from The Tales of Ba Sing Se, where the attendants had to hold her down really tightly to scrape the massive amounts of dirt off her feet and she was not pleased with it
Sameeee like there is air in you blood soooooo also you can lift ppl with air meaning you can control ppl by making them float and using air to control limbs or the blood bending thing I said
Someone did do that actually. I can't remember his name, but so one of the Air Benders in the series took away the Earth Queen's air from all around and inside her body, effectively killing her. I used to be so scared of that scene lmao
You have such a way with narrating each of your videos that makes sense even to people who do not understand the basics of chi and the elementals! I always thought healing is higher up on the list just because of how useful it is during times of war and even in general life. Glad lava is higher up. That’s one bad ass earth sub bending feat.
I'm writing a fanfic for the next avatar. My premise is the New Avatar Cycle, wherein Korra's separation and reunification with Rava during Harmonic Convergence not only restored air bending to the world but also 'birthed' a new nation of spirit benders who can bend either their light or their shadow. So while the various powers of the world search in vain for the earth bender they think is the next incarnation, the true Avatar is actually a spirit bender just trying to survive in world where non-bender technology and other sociocultural developments are at odds with the old spiritual practices and beliefs, despite the ending of the Legend of Korra.
can the spirit benders waterbend?? cause spiritbending involves waterbending. i'm not sure what you mean but maybe you're implying that the "new nation" would be waterbenders with the sub-bending ability to spirit bend?
@@iagogaming9133 its kind of a retcon in the use of the term because I think LOK broke the ATLA rules of the spirit world anyway... Basically I'm saying spirit benders are energy benders or chi benders, based on the words of the Lionturtle that unlocked Aang's endgame ability to bend the energy within himself and other people. In my story I meld what ATLA and LOK depict about energy and spirit bending. Light benders bend their own inner light to do the kinds of things that Korra does in the battle against UnaVatu. Shadow benders bend their shadows to do what Aang does but rather than bend other people's chi, they're bending the chi or shadows of physical objects in a kind of telekinetic effect (because e=mc2, all matter is just highly organized energy). So in a battle, a light bender might shoot bolts of light or form weapons like Green Lantern while a shadow bender may manipulate physical objects to make a shield, even very pure metals like platinum. I'm limiting that manipulation to just macro actions; so they can lift, push and pull or even break things, but NOT alchemically transform or magically transfigure objects. I've also thought about giving them a special master level technique like Zaheer's flight for air benders and call it spirit walking; the ability to shift between the spirit world and physical world without a spirit portal.
6:44 actually in avatar Wan’s era all the airbenders were able to fly because they don’t have earthy attachments, now they have the sky bisons which removed their ability to fly
There’s always one subtype that’s forgotten, probably on 11th place - heat bending. The only person seen doing it is Fire Lord Sozin while aiding Avatar Roku to cool the volcanoes, redirecting the volcanic gases. Still, it would be worth mentioning as a form of fire bending :)
6:45 Aang was also able to fly because he got poked in the back on one of his chakras during his fight with Ozai and went into the avatar state and started flying to catch ozai in water, so Zaheer was the first person to fly in 70~ years
No, airbenders are, as we saw in Korra they can literally take the breath out of your lungs instantly with ease. Only reason the air nomads were all killed was because they were pacifists and couldn’t predict their own demise.
Awesome video. I have 2 questions for you: 1. Didn’t Zaheer (presumably) use spiritual projection to find Korra at Zaofu? 2. @ 23:25, when and where has energybending been shown to grant nonbenders the ability to bend?
@@MindBursterz 1. I’m stumped on how he knew she was in Zaofu if not that. Any guesses? 2. True. I was thinking avatars (human) but you are correct. It’s interesting to think of the implications of the avatar giving bending.
@@MindBursterz so, Zaheer, as an Airbender, who has a strong spiritual connection, located Korra…spiritually, but you don’t think it was b/c of th Mi sub skill of “spiritual projection”. It’s not crazy, he was the 2nd person to unlock the other airbending sub skill. He probably did the projecting off screen
Jeez 3k plus subs milestone 💀💀. In remembering that time this channel had only 200 subs.😊 3:36 my favourite one bending ability😌. God bless you all 🤙 9:31 My grandpa definitely will pick this ability to "down" flies. He absolutely despised them to death
Fun Combustionbending Fact! In the era of Yangchen, Combustion Benders were trained by being chained to the bottom of the ocean and attempting to Fire Bend beneath the water, using the immense pressure of the sea, as well as the fear of death to develop the skill!
Once again... lightning has less to do with fire than the other 3 elements. Lightning is created by WATER molecules banging around high up in the AIR forming clouds that have a negative charge on the bottom which creates a positive charge on the EARTH. . Lightning only has surface level resemblance to fire in that they both generate light and heat. Fundamentally fire is the rapid oxidation to combustion of matter - totally different from the phenomenon we call lightning. . Ironically lightning is formed from the interplay of the other 3 elements yet its a subset of fire - this bugs me especially since they claim Avatar was based on real world science, physics and martial arts.
Ph'li was Literally one-man-armying against an entire assault force of metal benders, and she was winning against them to, pushing the beifongs on the losing side despite - having the numerical advantage - having the tactical surprise The only reason they won was they turned her own bending against her, there was no other way they'll suppress her. If that doesn't convey the opposite of what you said then I dunno what is
I imagine the reasoning is that you can only bend what past avatars have bended, unless it was given to your native element. Even then, i dont think any of the avatars would want to learn bloodbending unless it was necessary
If im not mistaken, energy bending isnt a sub bending, its a superset of all bendings. It could theoretically bend everything, it just hasnt been used much since before the age of the avatar, and even then only the lion turtles had it. The reason we have the 4 elements we do now is cuz the lion turtle just kinda made them up and gave them to people, which is why what specific things benders can bend is so arbitrary, and also why not everything is bendable. But thats just my theory
Imagine if science classes used Avatar, by watching an episode every day, where they go in depth and take a few key points on how the elements work in real life, and make up equations for it, say for example the force toph exerts on a piece of metal to make it bend, and the compounds present in the metal! That eould be sick asf, you know guys i think i Just found my future career 😂
to be honest i think that seismic sence is underrated. it cant do anything offencive but you can predict the attacks of enemies and know when people are nearby
This chakra kind of things are directly connected to the spiritual realm,I wonder whether it's true and applicable to the tangibles,you know since every great saints or sages who have some level of spiritual enlightenment are also able to heal,able to know the thoughts and thinkings of others and perform miracles,which are unexplainable, don't you guys think so 🤔🤔🤔 just something to think of.
Can you make a video about can the Avatar learn sub-bending without the use of the Avatar State involved Since tbh nobody has ever done that before it would be interesting if you did it
I feel like lava bending is similar to lightning redirection, as every known lava bending other then one has a known connection genetically or in an avatars case in a past life, to fire bending
@@oluwatosinamosu9503 it’s not like I made this list? At least with seismic sense it has less to do with bending Earth but feeling sound and using Earth as medium. Taking air out of the lungs is just normal air bending and it’d be at the bottom of the list bc it’s honestly pretty useless.
I personally think blood bending can triumph agains energy bending because in a real fight energy bending requires the person to be close and blood bending could just bend someone from a decent distance, now thats why I think blood bending triumphs although when the energy bender does get close the blood bender is getting demolished
true, but it still remains the fact that only 5 ever recorded benders could blood-bend, and all of them were prodigies born with the skill. With that, 3 (if i remember correctly) out of those 5 needed the full moon.
All I see is that firebending is still lagging behind all the other elements. Hardly much variation in its sub-bending types or much spiritual usage But this list is still cool. Ig water and air are the more spiritual elements while fire and earth seems to be the more physical elements
I wouldn’t classify energy bending as a “sub-bending” ability. Since it’s through energy bending that bending was given to humans it would be the prime bending ability with traditional elemental bending being secondary and metal, lightning, etc., being sun.
Psychic blood bending or Psychic fire bending (combustion). Maco still lightning bended against amon. So even if you blood bend a combustion bender they can still blow up the water bender i think combustion beats blood bending. Open to others thoughts on this.
@MindBursterz in legend of korra they show us what metal bending is. Tophs daughter had a metal bending city. It was so beautiful used for art dancing so much beauty 😍!!!!!
I forgot bending is not about fighting but just like kung fu it's a part of every day life metal is better than lava or combustion for life, those 2 are better for destruction sad of me to favor them. See this show makes you look at real life differently.
Can you imagine a water bender healer who has master both normal healing and blood bending? The medical applications are nearly endless
That's Katara 🌚
@@oluwatosinamosu9503this is why i was wondering how she couldn't heal Korra when her bending was blocked. i guess they made it for the writing

Lava and lightning are my favourite
This chakra kind of things are directly connected to the spiritual realm,I wonder whether it's true and applicable to the tangibles,you know since every great saints or sages who have some level of spiritual enlightenment are also able to heal,able to know the thoughts and thinkings of others and perform miracles,which are unexplainable, don't you guys think so 🤔🤔🤔 just something to think of.
You might be up to something me think.
Hmmm can combustionbenders firebend normally? I never saw one that used normal firebending
Yes they can, P'li bends normally a few times
Plant bending is overpowered
Can you make a video about can the Avatar learn sub-bending without the use of the Avatar State involved
Since tbh nobody has ever done that before it would be interesting if you did it
Korra learnt metalbending, and Aang learnt seismic sense.
Roku was lava bending
@@timothyl392 roku, Szeto, Kyoshi lavabending, Aang using seismic sense Korra metalbending. There's quite a few examples.
@@rudrodeepchatterjee without the avatar state
Energybending isn’t a subelement. The elements are sprung of from energybending.
Yeah energy bending is essentially the original bending
I didn't vacuum bending abi what is it called
The one zaheer used in removing air from korra's lungs
I feel like lava bending is similar to lightning redirection, as every known lava bending other then one has a known connection genetically or in an avatars case in a past life, to fire bending
what about smoke/mist bending
I respect your opinion and loved the video but lava bending is number 1
All avatars can get lava bending via avatar state although it’s more rudimentary in my opinion compared to those born with it
You forget to put icebending and sandbending inside. I think, icebending is a separate bending much like how earthbenders liquidify earth to lava
You forgot the ability to draw out air from people's lungs, resulting in instant death 😈
Literally does not lead to “instant death” and it’s not a sub element.
@@WoW-sg9wb if so seismic sensing also isn't a sub element
@@oluwatosinamosu9503 it’s not like I made this list? At least with seismic sense it has less to do with bending Earth but feeling sound and using Earth as medium. Taking air out of the lungs is just normal air bending and it’d be at the bottom of the list bc it’s honestly pretty useless.
@@WoW-sg9wb useless? Lol
@@oluwatosinamosu9503 very 💀 literally had to add the whole Korra being poisoned and immobile for it to even be useable
Why’d it cut off like that 🤣 4:18

I personally think blood bending can triumph agains energy bending because in a real fight energy bending requires the person to be close and blood bending could just bend someone from a decent distance, now thats why I think blood bending triumphs although when the energy bender does get close the blood bender is getting demolished
blood bending is scaring, with blood bending water benders are forces to reckon with.
true, but it still remains the fact that only 5 ever recorded benders could blood-bend, and all of them were prodigies born with the skill. With that, 3 (if i remember correctly) out of those 5 needed the full moon.
these takes are something
I am still waiting for the day, that someone talks about light bending. You can become invisible or create fatamorgana's
Good video but sound bending?
Water supreme! It has everything… 👍🏽
What about Zaheers Vacuum bending?
It's not another bending. It's still air but used differently
Honourable mention to dust skipping!!!
All I see is that firebending is still lagging behind all the other elements. Hardly much variation in its sub-bending types or much spiritual usage
But this list is still cool. Ig water and air are the more spiritual elements while fire and earth seems to be the more physical elements
kora is my favourite sturban character
What about sand bending?
I wouldn’t classify energy bending as a “sub-bending” ability. Since it’s through energy bending that bending was given to humans it would be the prime bending ability with traditional elemental bending being secondary and metal, lightning, etc., being sun.
actually flight was once achived by all air nomads, guru lahima was the one to discover it
U also forgot that angg almost mastered flying when he was vs azula and zuko in basinge
I need blood bender for my high blood pressure 😂
Psychic blood bending or Psychic fire bending (combustion). Maco still lightning bended against amon. So even if you blood bend a combustion bender they can still blow up the water bender i think combustion beats blood bending. Open to others thoughts on this.
Hmmmm i see your point.🧐
@MindBursterz I personally love lava bending as my favorite what's yours.
@@ronalddavis8728 Mine is metalbending... i just love everything about it.
@MindBursterz in legend of korra they show us what metal bending is. Tophs daughter had a metal bending city. It was so beautiful used for art dancing so much beauty 😍!!!!!
I forgot bending is not about fighting but just like kung fu it's a part of every day life metal is better than lava or combustion for life, those 2 are better for destruction sad of me to favor them. See this show makes you look at real life differently.
Energy bending is actually considered the 5th element so therefore not sub bending
If anything, it's the major bending.
The elements' bendings are the energy bending's subbendings :)
Air bending Technique: Breath Stealer
I see Katara I click 😂❤
What about crystal bending the one that bumi did
Could Sokka be Lin and her sisters father.
4:24 the cut lol
Sand bending punching air rn💀
*what do you mean a connection*
Energy bending isn't really a sub-bending category. Its energy itself, so a bending category.
Kioshi moving the hot ground was glass bending.
