@@husnie9729specially in Avatar, IRL Men are stronger than women because of body structure but in Avatar the greatest are benders, and the strongest ones dont rely on their physical body that much lol
Going with Azula as flight is a huge advantage and she is extremely diverse. Azula also was at least seemingly the third best fire bender in the show only after Ozai & Iroh
@@sachinhunter7248 Azula & Zuko are very close but it did help Zuko a lot in their final battle that Azula was going insane so I feel she'd win against Zuko one-on-one assuming she was sane

@@woozy4938 azula was insane from the start lol. her own mother thinks she was a monster. she was hiding her true potential. it was only at the agni kai when she unleashed her true potential. its just that zuko broke his shell also. 2 master tacticians fighting..
@@renzbay123 she wasn’t at her “true potential” during the Agni Kai. She was slipping according to Zuko and was overall disoriented as she was having a mental break down which severely hindered her skill and precision. Azula fought sloppy throughout the entire fight due to her brain having a breakdown causing her to lose otherwise she would have won.
Not really. Idk why people don't get this, but it's made a point bt mako and bolin that Kirras fighting is too slow and open. This is because she's trained in old school/traditional styles, which is why she gets beat in fights. It's the whole reason she started probending. Same goes for all the OG Cast.
@@GrimAngel01100 The Fighting style being Slow and Open doesn't necessary mean weak Mako and Boelin was talking about this in pertaining to her doing pro bending. Korra did probending because she liked their fighting style and could use it to better hers doesn't necessarily mean they were better that is based on the bender's ability during a battle. Toph still fights old school and is still the best Earth/Metal bender in the show hence why Korra wanted her to teach her not to get beat up. Tenzin also fights old school n did better against the red lotus than anyone else. The OG cast fighting style maybe traditional but how many persons from the New era can you say is good at their bending or even renoun masters ? Boelin is nowhere near a top 5 earthbenders nor can I call him a master Mako isn't at Zuko nor Azula's level of fire bending non of the Chi blockers seen in the LOK is better than Ty Lee . The best benders I can say in the new era would be Kuveira , Tenzin, Tenzin kids, Sui yeng ,Lin, Red Lotus, Amon, Tanrak , Eska and Desna and Korra . I can add Mako here because he was good just not better than the OG fire benders mentioned above I think Zuko's grandson may be great also but he got limited screentime so can't use him here.
@andrade1480 I never said anything about being weaker, that's not how fighting styles work. Idk what your definition of "master" is but it certainly isn't one that fits either show. Katara wasn't a master of water bending before becoming Aang's master, neither was Zuko (btw Mako is the only one to use the fire knife, same a Zuko). Mako and Bolin are at the equivalent of pro boxers/ MMA fighters. Mako could use lightning like nothing by the time he was Zuko and Azula's age, and the Firefoxes are well known in Republic City, so they aren't fun of the mill fighters. Mind you, Korra was trained by masters her whole childhood up to the start of the show, masters of traditional martial arts and masters of bending, so at what point is someone a master? Tenzin is a special case, people keep ignoring the fact that dude is an Airbender. It doesn't matter what style he uses, people don't understand how to fight airbenders. That's why (the notion of gaining bending aside) Zaheer -as well as his martial prowess which is essentially MMA- was such a challenge, because he's using a bending that people just haven't faced. To your mention of "talking about pro bending" that doesn't matter, that's part of my point. Pro bending is more boxing/MMA like, where the emphasis on quick, direct, and consistently effective/non-circumstantial attacks. Also, it's very influential, being a primary sport event televised all over. You'll notice that even street thugs like those Korra chased fight in this manner, this is the basis of fighting in LOK, as opposed to the more flashy traditional moves of ATLA. That all said, Bolin and Kuvira are the best examples of what I mean. You can see that typically earthbenders use stances that are low and firmly planted, with their feet flat as often as possible. However, in LOK earthbenders have much lighter footwork and only go into firm stances for heavy attacks, as again, the boxing-esque style is more prevalent. This is especially highlighted with Kuvira.
@@JXekil_I Still a war veteran who took over a city killed the avatar on a technicality and is in verse widely considered to be the third strongest firebender of her era. Also Toph is like 13 and is way above most earth bending masters so I dont really think age matters

@@joshuafrazier3904in comics she destroys a fire lord zuko no diff, she’s absolutely the strongest fire bender ever and I think she’s around Kuviras age at that point
Azula's blue fire is more intense (cutting walls) and has explosive properties. She has also developed her own fighting style. Thanks to Li and Lo. Kuvira might have observed some firebending techniques, but Azula in on a whole different level. Azula got tactical military training and the best education the Fire Nation could offer. Ozai indeed succeeded in making her a deadly klling machine.
Kuvira developed her own fighting style as well. If kuvira traps azula with her metal in any way than thats pretty much it for azula. Katara had azula on the ropes during the book 2 finale.
@@peterhale4525 she was going insane but still wasnt while fighting zuko. Lets not forget katara had her on the ropes during the finale in season 2 until zuko interupted.
Yeah, Azula did say ''Don't flatter yourself. You were never even a player, but Kuvira wasnt born royalty so thats why they said that, she wants power.@@ogclasher8931
That wouldn't happen because Long Feng didn't have the leverage that Kuvira had. Even if she did, Kuvira isn't the type of person that gives up so easily. This was shown later on after she was arrested. That being said, yes I think that Azula would win.
Fun fact: Azula is one of the only female firebenders in both AtLA and LoK. Only other one i can think of is P'Li. Meanwhile male firebenders include Azulong, Sozin, Ozai, Iroh, Zuko, Jeong Jeong, Dzao, Combustion Man, Chit Sang, Mako, other Iroh, Lightning Bolt Zolt. Even generic Fire Nation soldiers are usually male.
Its because in Fire Nation society male are considered fit for the military function its not intense as the North Water Tribe customs, they were truly 100% against women fighting meanwhile for the Fire Nation, it simply wasnt that normal, but women could fight if they wanted and ocupy high military positions
@@San-cb9mj When they were depicting generic goons in the first two seasons, but once the gaang was actually in the fire nation, there were quite a lot of female soldiers and guards (all in midriff-revealing tops of course).
Not true... the fire nation is actually the most progressive when it comes to women. They had women in their armies and as guards. In the invasion epsiode and a few others they have female guards and military that can fire bend. In the EARTH kingdom if you notice, Toph is actually one of the only female earthbenders and I don't recall seeing one woman in the earth kingdom army or as a guard.
Kuvira is fast with how she uses her metal but we all know azula is the queen of out maneuvering people she's just that skill and agile kuvira won't keep up
True and she can shoot lightning extremely quickly and easily reads other benders' techniques and quirks. She's just too fast, but so is Kuvira, that's why both of them are almost at the same level.
whoever wins would really just come down to the setting, if their surrounded in a room full of metal i'd prob take Kuvira, if their in the desert under the hot sun then i'd take Azula
@@SmoovyNovaFan no if it's in a desert kuvira would still use the metals on her armor and treat azula how she treated Kora only because azula will eventually run out of stamina due to her running around dodging Azula will absolutely dominate if it's an environment where a lot of buildings are cause she'd use the buildings to her advantage
in the hot desert with the sun beaming on them Azula would be at her strongest as a firebender, Kuvira would only have the sand and her metal armour to combat against Azula with a buff in firebending. In a room full of metal like say a warship, Kuvira wins, but in a place like the desert, Azula would just overpower her metal shards.@@devontewilson791
Idk the only think I'm idk about is those metal bands . I'm not sure if she's dodge anything like that azula wins her fights because she s more precise than anyone she fights .she doesn't waste movement. Going up against someone of the same who moves alittle and is harder to move with also fast strikes might me tough.
Azula stood her ground against toph, Ang, katara and Zoka while an eclipse took her bending away and she wasn’t even taking them seriously. Cuvira stands no chance
Let’s not act like Toph couldn’t have packed her up on the 1st attack, she just chose to trap her in rock instead. And the majority of that “Standing her ground” she was being backed up by the Dai Li 💤
Imagine 6 v 1, and The Dragon of the West gets caught off guard. She definitely read the Art of War, the part where it says do what the enemy least expects.
@@XUV747 there was only like 5 people doing it including mako. At most we saw maybe 7 people lightning bend out of thousands maybe millions of firebenders. That’s still rare asf
Yes metal is a conductor. Please tell me what azula is going to do if kuvira traps her in a ball of metal as she’s using lighting. Or what she’s going to do if she puts mercury on her or even in her. Let’s be honest kuvira is broken and has many ways to actually kill but for some reason people are nerfing her. Straight hands azula is more likely to win but include bending and it’s kuvira wins mid diff
That's a really good point. The old school fire benders put out a lot more destructive power than modern fire benders. Azula is very smart and perceptive. And we've seen her effectively fight benders from all types, and she has been able to figure out conters to pretty much everything she's seen. And i honestly dont believe Kuviras shackles will stop Azula, she'll figure out how to melt or destroy them.
They’re both great combatants, and I think Azula has this one. She’ll exploit any weakness Kuvira has and won’t hesitate to use it. She’s really a lunatic and ruthless, she doesn’t go on morals unlike other villains.
What weaknesses? Azula loses heads up 1v1 and would have to resort to underhanded moves to even have a chance. The problem for Azula, Kuvira is way too solid to fall for any tricks and would just bulldog her way for the win.
Well in a fight kevira operates with a lot less weakness than azula I think. Azula isn't mentally there. She can get annoyed or crazy and we know kevira doesn't move emotionally .a strong women mentally would actually probably make azula flip out and go crazy ,at that point I do think kevira takes a relatively easy win.. azula is only cold against obvious weak people or those who validate her by showing fear. Obviously kevira will do know of that
I think you're misunderstanding their fighting styles. Azula is a proactive fighter, leaning on her rising positive jing to increase the pressure on her oppoonents to create opportunities. Kuvira on the other hand is a very disruptive fighter who has mastered neutral jing. She isnt the first to strike, relying on brutal counters and tempo disruption to not let her opponents get into their stride. We see it when she restricts movements of the limbs with metal sheets and disrupts your stances with earth. More importantly, Kuvira has a much simpler win condition. Azula has to incapacitate or kill kuvira with something that can overcome a metalbending masters defense while Kuvira needs to get a single metal band onto one of Azulas limbs. If its her feet, her fire jets and mobility are gone. If its hee hand, she loses half her ability to generate lightning. And since Azula can't track metal after it whizzes past her, she has to keep her head on a swivel to not get caught up. Long range, kuvira has more time to evade her kightning. Close range, kuvira is packing her up. Kuvira takes it mid diff
Hello fellow ATLA NERD I didn’t watch ALOK much But from what I see Kuvira is amazing, she follows the similar approach of fighting like Toph. She might be fighting in pattern like style but its simply because that move itself is versatile and fluid, I believe that in a one on one first encounter she’ll incapacitate Azula for sure, but not easily and if for any reason Azula escapes… That’s where things start to get interesting, Azula is very versatile very adaptable and unpredictable, she will maneuver a means to suppress Kuvira’s abilities, she has no restraint no jurisdiction, and we are forgetting that the last time she lost, she did so by being restricted by Katara, if for any reason she goes against a formidable opponent like Kuvira, you should know that she learns from her mistakes, almost is not perfect, she will not be restrained not again so I believe she’ll escape when the odds are high against her and when ready she’ll strike, with the most precise and ferocious bolt right here👉🏻❤️. Especially IF Kuvira restraints, she’s manipulated, and makes 10 moves before her opponent.
@@pereboseregodknows2018 the kind of restraint that Kuvira would employ is the bands around the limbs and magnetizing them together. With a fighter so dependent on their limbs like Azula, losing access to an arm or a leg is a slow march to death. Kuvira actually has more options the further away Azula is, such as curving metal sheets around Azula if she goes in the air, hiding underground if she can't and using the seismic sense, etc. It's like Azula trying to fight a not blind Toph
Azula does have good agility but she can’t take a hit which leaves dodging her only choice. Kuvira is a sniper, she won’t give her room to dodge and she’ll know boulder throwing is out of the question. It comes down to if lightning is enough to take kuvira down cause her fire bending alone can’t beat kuvira. Metal blocks fire and she can just create a metal shield as she did against Korra
Katara already bested Azula when she wasn’t even in her prime yet, the reason she resorts to restraining Azula instead of outright demolishing her was the fact that Katara wanted to end it quickly and heal Zuko. But on a one on one, Katara would wipe the floor with Azula, without an aid of a full moon.
Actually, the reasons why katara won that battle are 1. Azula had already been fighting zuko so she would have been exhausted. Imagine two against one. 2. She was already paranoid before that battle, hence, she wasn't thinking straight (remember when she successfully evaded 4 bending masters toph, iroh, aang and kitara). So that battle wasn't even. Azula will crisp katara in a one on one combat if azula wasn't paranoid
@@MindBursterz she could've easily bested her with blood bending especially since Azula didn't know she had that ability but she held back because stopped using it. Just goes to show how powerful Katara actually is...
Kuvira's metalbending would be too much for Azula to handle. To mention the old school style being too much is funny. When Korra was trying to join pro bending, they said her fighting style was old fashioned and too slow(Korra was trained by the white lotus). This made Korra switch to a more modern style that also made her a better fighter.
Hahaha exactly Other comments is full of coping and fanboyism for the Last Airbender characters as usual. Kuvira honestly wins this one easily and it's not even close.
@@ultimateyagermanazula fighting style is literally adaptive and in the comics she’s gotten a lot more powerful while also being able to instant generate lighting
But it didn't lack power and also Korra learned fire bending during a time of peace so ofc her fire bending wouldn't be that fast. Fire bending in atla was fast if you look at the fire benders in the atla or just Azula in general
@@JTAEKOOK4EVRR Korra's fire never lacked power. Her fighting style is more modern, thus better than the older styles. Y'all in this growing up in peace like Azula was on the front lines fighting thousands of something, lol. Azula has nothing for Kuvira.
@mikegearsmitchell Ofc Korra's fire didn't lack power she's the avatar she's an outlier. Older firebending is more powerful Pl'i one of the strongest firebenders didn't use modern firebending but old firebending mixed with her combustion bending Azula beats Kuvira with one lightning strike
I dunno about that one. Aang and Toph are similar contenders - Toph inventing Metal Bending and radar, and Aang being the youngest air bending master all time (before his daughter) and also being the avatar. In a fight, she might beat them both, though. Aang because he is a pacifist, and toph because Azula comes off as quite light on her feet. Edit: I didnt see you said “fire” bender. Then yeah, she probably becomes the greatest firebender all time when she gets older.
I personally would side with kuvira. He mentioned that azula would have beaten zuko in the agni kai but I don't think so. In general yes azula is stronger but she was "off" that day and resorted to aiming at katara simply because she was losing to zuko. She also did lose against katara and got baited to being over the water and getting chained up. To be fair I think that was just a very off day for her but what I am saying is that day isn't a good day to show her feats. Regardless however, I didn't see any "off" days with kuvira. I think shes more precise, just as agile, and has solid control over metal and earth. It definitely depends on the environment. And the fact azula can essentially fly is difficult to counter... (I wonder if kuvira can fly by moving the metal around? probably not). And lightning might be annoying, however in korras world every firebender lighning bends also and yet kuvira still dominated that world. Overall from what we have seen I would give it to kuvira 6/10. I agree maybe if azula was older and we saw more feats. But only taking from the things we saw I would give it to kuvira. Great video! thank you for the analysis.
I'd also go with Kuvira, as though she might have less raw talent, she's a significantly older and more experienced combat veteran with extreme military discipline, while Azula's an extremely gifted but arrogant, over-privilaged and emotional 15-year-old. Though like you, I could see it going either way and only give Kuvira a slight edge.
She has the hottest fire blue flame in real life is used to melt through metal like butter and she literally can destroy earth benders alone Azusa would beat her no problem
The point about lightning got me. Lightning will not be an issue in this fight. Given how long it takes Azula to generate lightning, Kuvira would interrupt it before she had a chance to fire given how quick she is. I think Kuvira wins high-diff.
I swear i think im the only person who thinks Kuvira could body Azula. Azula lost every fight she had with Katara. I genuinely believe Kuvira could beat Katara. The lightning is a factor, sure. But Kuvira isnt stupid enough to allow Azula to get off a shot of lightning at her. She moves like a fairly well trained airbender while incorperating very precise and powerful earth and metalbending into it. Azula could stand against her. But i think Kuvira has the overall edge.
Nope I agree with you as well, Kuvira takes this one easily. What's happened here in the comment section, is that people tend to fanboy for the character that came first.
@@ultimateyagerman I think they take my opinion that Kuvira would win as an admission that I like Kuvira more than I like Azula, which obviously isn't the case. I just don't play favorites when it comes to a straight up one on one fight. Acknowledging that one character may be more powerful or skilled than another isn't the same as liking said character more. I obviously love Azula, she's one of the best villains of all time. I'm just ignoring bias, yaknow?
@@ultimateyagerman be sincere man. The only fight kuvira won (against exceptional fighters) was against a rusted Kora. Mako was just a pro bender in a bending sport, he was talented true. But to be honest we all know he wasn't exceptional, he came from a poor background, so we almost say for certain that he was self taught. Honestly saying that kuvira would beat azula (mentally stable) is outrightly unfair
Absolutely awesome!!!! I love vs. battles and this was really well thought out and put together. At first my money was on Kuvira but you've sold me on Azula's resume
Oh no. I can already imagine what will happen to old firenation soldiers who have pointy metal armor on their shoulder. Slowly being bend toward their skull until it pierce to the other side

Fanboys 're gonna hallucinate. Unalaq is a Kaiju, Amon solos anyone, the Red Lotus can effectively inflict chaos in the world. Put Sokka against Zaheer bre airbending and he'll lose. Put Katara vs Amon she'll lose her bending. Zuko vs P'li bye Zuko. Stop being a nøstålfªg
@@Samsudin-wi5ll Zaheer's plot armor? Or Sokka's plot armor? Sokka isn't one of the strongest non-benders that's a fact. And he's my fav character in ATLA

To fight against someone that legit sees the move before it happens? Unalaq already got stopped by a weaker team avatar(Team korra) before no debate there
Kuvira was good but she wouldn’t have been a match for Aang. Azula was. And Toph was still a better earth bender than Kuvira. Azula is better at psychological warfare
Azulas troubled childhood ultimately led to her downfall, and over time, after the meeting with the OG dragon masters, Zuko became stronger than her. And if not for azula directing lightning at Katara, zuko would have redirected it and eventually drove her even more crazy and defeated her😂😂
@@ibrahimshahid3391lol no azula is still stronger than zuko in the comics she even learned redirection by herself and she beat tylee on h2h only reason zuko won cause she was insane even iroh knew zuko was no match hence why he let katara go with zuko to defeat azula only reason zuko agreed to the agni kai was his words “somethings up shes slipping”
Kuzera all day. She took out an Avatar on more than one occasion and is very tactfully aware and smart. Yeah sure Azula can lightning bend, but she is easily outsmarted. Azusa’s more of an ambush fighter, and her ego about being the best will take her out. Kuzera can use earth and metal, and she can take on more than one opponent while easily taking them out when they use multiple elements.
Azula took on aang a more skilled fighter than korra. Korra has never won a 1v1. Aang has been a master since age 12. Azula was living in a war. Manipulated the biggest earth kingdom, Gave team avatar the biggest fear. Beat down the kyoshi warriors. N Took on Aang katara toph zuko all by her. self. Azula is the highest IQ female in the entire avatar verse. The only person that broke her was her self
@@Wwasgud 🤨Aang was 12 when he took on Azula and it was one time solo one time with friends, neither showed how skilled he was, he used one element each time. Korra has won many one v. one, once in the ring, another was against Kuvera. Korra also lived in a time of upheaval and civil unrest, which you can count as war. Aang was only an air bending master. It took him much longer than a summer for him to master the elements. Azula was manipulated by the biggest earth kingdom. She usurped the Earth King because he was stupid and his administrator was a pussy scared of a teenage girl. Azalea's IQ is so low you can't scan it, you gotta dig for it.Have you even seen the show?
@@WwasgudNo hes more skilled & korra has won 1v1s before stop that shit.

@@Wwasgudkuvira ran a whole empire and was highly feared the same way azula was & azula took on a half trained avatar who wasn’t in his prime vs kuvira who fought korra near/at her prime Kuvira just has the better feats against a better trained, stronger, more skilled avatar compared to azula
Ehh, Azula's lightning generation is rather slow. As you said, Kuvira could restrain her with metal binders. Others will say, "Well, Azula could dodge the metal binders." I don't think so, my friend. The metal is floating in the air and could be manipulated to catch the target. If I were an Earthbender with Metalbending capabilities, well, I would use the metal binders to restrain Azula. And I could bury the metals inside Azula's body so that I could control her. It is like bloodbending. (If you watched X-Men: Days of Future Past 2014, look at Magneto who used metals and buried them inside the sentinels so that he could control them). Back to the topic. You have shown in the clip that Azula generates lightning, but my friend, it takes seconds for her to generate it. It is slow. My goodness. Why would Kuvira wait for her to generate lightning? And if Azula were to hit her with lightning, Kuvira could easily shield herself with a big boulder or Earth in front of her OR Kuvira could plunge herself into the Earth and hide. Just like Aang did in order to avoid Toph's rock attack. (watch it on this video at 0:44 : ua-cam.com/video/5mgiBlxyKIE/v-deo.html ) And with the metal strips binding Azula, her lightning will just backfire. Kuvira is agile because she's a dancer. Remember, Kuvira also has Earthbending abilities. She can easily manipulate the earth beneath Azula, just like Kuvira did to Korra in this video at 5:52 I really love Azula. We do like her as ATLA fans don't we? But on this one, Kuvira wins.
Exactly! Hahaha they will say, "lightning bender vs metalbender come on" well kuvira could still use Earth and Earth is not a conductor of electricity.
I’m going to hard disagree on this one. I think a lot of people fail to account for the huge power creep in LoK. Korra is an adult avatar who trained for 4 years and mastered all 4 elements (air is a bit shaky). To ignore decades of differences in battle experience, new bending styles and the fact that she was literally the best metal bender besides Toph in the entire show because she might now be able to adapt to Azula’s unorthodox fighting style is a weak argument considering she fought the only person with 4 bending styles at the same. I would think you would need to be more adaptable to fight someone with 4 bending styles than you would to fight someone using a bending style in an unorthodox way. To say Azula beats Kuvira would scale her at the level of an adult Avatar at 14 years old. Azula is one of my favs but this is a terrible take.
I will ask you only one question, can kurvira survive lightening attacks? Cause even fire benders can't not stop her lightening, so tell me how kurvira survives that
@@wealthforex1if ang can she can to but she can always stop her doing …. N kuvira has definitely fought way more lightning benders since every regular Joe has lightning
Katara absolutely defeated Azula lmao. "She only restricted her movements", yes, and then at that point, she would be at Katara's mercy. Katara could absolutely have killed her after that if that was her priority or if she even wanted to. I get you're trying to hype the matchup up by painting both combatants as these super badasses who, even when they lose, they don't REALLY lose, but be for real lol
She was doing both. You could tell because certain parts of the mech were moving without any other controls moving, in the same motion as her movements.
Nah, my money is on kuvira. Kuvira’s accuracy and precision and how much of her environment and even her armor she can bend give her an advantage imo. She can make the ground unstable to get azula off balance, keep her dodging with earth and metal projectiles and create barriers to block fire attacks. Earthbenders are just too OP
Id go with kuvira, something the shows were bad at was showing diversity of earth bending (for everyone but main characters) honestly earth bending is so versatile for offence and defence. Kuvira uses earth bending so well (which is a shame most soldiers just throw rocks) she turns kora around with a movement of her feet, she puts metal cuffs on her which she can control. I think in reality earth benders would be easily some of the most powerful benders to fight
Fanboism at its finest, Azula is no match for kuvira, it takes time to melt metal, and kuvira literaly face an avatar state, and most villan in legend of korra is op. I want azula to win but making azula win by good explanation makes you a pure fanboy.
In terms of bending... I would give Azula a slight edge, though mostly because we can assume that metal is a conductor of electricity in the real world and would likely be similar in the Avatar universe. However, in nearly every other factor... Kuvira would have a clear advantage. For one thing, because Kora is the Avatar that comes immediately after Aang and that Zuko, Katara, and Toph are all still alive during the "Legend of Kora," it is probable that Kuvira knows a lot about Azula and her technique through the histories of the Hundred Year War between the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom (and its allies). While fire benders of Kuvira's' time... like Mako... may not have fought in a style like Azula's, the past war and Azula's own legacy would not be so ancient that her style would not be unheard of. In this, it is probable that Kuvira has seen historical records on Azula's fighting style and would have some knowledge of Azula simply from the fact that Kuvira has come AFTER Azula. At the same time, we have to also note that by the end of "Avatar: the Last Airbender," Azula's mental sanity has completely gone... While she is at the height of her physical and bending powers at that point, her mind is not there. And it's something where I would say that Zuko probably could have beaten her as a result of that. She was jumping at shadows that she was imagining by that point. She only gains an advantage over Zuko when she fires lightning at Katara, which forces Zuko into a self-sacrificial action to save Katara from taking a burst of lightning with nothing to protect her (as water is ALSO a conductor of electricity). And while Kuvira may have had moments of arrogance and looking down on opponents... she never showed any of the insanity that Azula ended up suffering from. And the fact that Kuvira was able to retain her sanity would ultimately enable her to avoid the sorts of mistakes and weaknesses that her use of metal bending would present to Azula's lightning. In fact, while Kuvira would still be wearing metal, she would still be more than capable of earth-bending, and may rely on that to put Azula in a tough spot. As she could use earth to restrain Azula or as a shield against Azula's attacks. And with her mind still sane, Kuvira would essentially be able to read the situation and essentially do to Azula what Obi Wan Kenobi does to Anakin/Vader on Mustafar.
Actually i think kuvira has the upper hand IF she fights Azula at the age they are in their shows. Azula needs some time to build up a lightning, and kuvira could easily cut her up by metalbending her plates, or if not kill her, she can lock her up. Kuvira is fast, Korra's fire wasnt as useful against her and if lightning is a serious obstacle she can bend the metal off her armour and use it from the ground....azule only has pure power and offense. Now 14yo azula vc 14yo kurvira... Azula finna have barbecue....azula didnt even need an avatar to defeat her during sozin's comet...while korra had to sweat inside that robot suit
@@Mindofuche her fighthing style is ugly with each element, she has no beauty in combat unlike Aang and his friends, the same goes from Mako and boling they fight with no beauty, in Korra only Tenzin, his children, Kuvira, and the red lotus are interesting to watch
Kuvira is metal bending and has giant metal suit that Azula would be able to strike with lightning, and metal conducts electricity so Kuvira would be zapped to death o,o
Isn’t blue fire the one that stoves use on metal pots to heat n cook things up? Thats too hot for people to touch without getting burnt? Yeah kuviera wil be cooked
@@WwasgudYou have a point, but in Avatar heat really doesn't exist. Had fire worked in Avatar the way it works irl none of Gaang would have survived til the end of the series.
Another outcome I agree with Something else to note is that when aang used stone handcuffs to hold Azula during the eclipse she broke out so she could do the same to kuvira's With Azula's precision she could strike a direct lightning bolt at kuvira and fry her as kuvira is nearly covered in metal
Azula wins but there are multiple factors you have to include in the fight such as the form you give them, the setting, their mental stability at the time and more, so each at their best Azula wins but I CAN see Kuvira MAYBE slipping in a win.
Oh yea, definitely. At peak conditions for both sides, I think Azula pulls the win, probably 8/10 times. In a controlled environment, just measuring each of their peaks, I would bank on Azula. But if we just randomly toss them at each other, in an unexpected, "ambush" scenario, I would actually hedge on Kuvira. Especially if we allow for meta knowledge, since Kuvira almost certainly read her history books, while Azula would be thrown off by metal bending - so Kuvira would have strong potential for a quick, off-guard win in a completely randomized scenario. I think Azula has a very real chance of getting bodied by a skilled metalbender, since she has absolutely no experience against metalbenders. I mean, Toph used it a few times, but she wasn't yet proficient with it, and I don't remember if Azula ever saw that. Sorta funny, really, since Azula strikes me as more improvisational, while Kuvira seems more analytical and stiff. So the idea that Azula would win a controlled fight and Kuvira would win a random scenario is a tad ironic. I think it would be infinitely more interesting, however, to see Kuvira and Azula go against each other in a strategy game.
@@XUV747 Funnily enough, it could happen canonically, if Azula is still around by the time of Legend of Korra. Granted, this would be an Azula with dementia, and maybe Alzheimer's, but still. It theoretically could've happened in the setting of LoK.
Kuvira was wearing a THICK plot armour in season 4 .. the writer just wanted to make her a worthy opponent for the avatar and wanted to make her a main villain. so Azula will crush her with EASE .. 🔥🔥🔥
The difference between them is that Azula is likeable even though she's a villain making you want to watch her over and over. And on Kuvira, every time I see her I hate her, my blood boils when I see her.
They are both cunning, both deadly, both feared and respected. Both also know a specialized form of bending (lightning and metal). Kuvira is not insane like Azula though. Also, Kuvira was a leader which Azula was not. Funny enough, they both were defeated by a water tribe girl.
One thing to note about both series is the animators and stormy writes consistency with matching stances and showcasing characters technique and prowess with bending style and effectiveness. Being able to read the battle and follow along with what a bender might throw out based on the start-up movements. Not in the sense of predictability, but the fact that there are very specific movements necessary of the bender to yield the greatest effect in combat. It adds another layer to just how intense these fights are. I think lightning bending really showcases just how practiced and poised you need to be to fire consistent shots without taking damage yourself. If Azula had some type of spiritual training, or master helping her correct her mental she definitely is soloing anyone. In the end her mental struggles are what lead to her defeat. I really like her complex character and story, she isn’t just a random villain. She is an abused, neglected high-achieving daughter whose need for acknowledgment fuels her perfectionist and narcissistic tendencies. Unable to overcome the emotional trauma of her mothers passing and fathers unbearable standards she finds herself unraveling when faced with the possibility of failure. She is a very real character, who knows what living with her father was actually like. She might not have received the physical brutality her brother did, but she was definitely suffering mentally and emotionally, which can often times be worse.
As much as TLA is better than LOK lightning doesn't seem to be rare in Kuviras time while metal bending is super rare in Azulas, gotta give the edge to Kuvira
I already knew it would be Azula because shes just on a completely different level. However, i do want to take a moment to appreciate how amazing their individual fighting styles are!!! I never realized how unique both of their styles were. They were just always "Super powerful and cool benders/fighters" but when you really pay attention to the way their fighting is animated its CRAZY imagining the amount of strength, quick thinking, quick reflexes, and mobility thats used!!!!
@@hulksmash7960azula can redirect lightning. Good for her. If she can redirect metal and earth that will be good. It's not like kuvira will shoot lightning anyway
If Azula is going straight for the kill it's ggs for Kuvira. I really appreciate Kuvira's style of earth bending, we're used to see earth benders bend large quantities of rocks while she seems to bend just enough to make her move. I can see her making earth conduits (specially with her metal armour) in order to nulify Azula's bending. In most scenarios I see Azula winning, but it'd be a tag game, if Kuvira manages to get Azula, she wins for sure.
Azula was boxing and defeating full grown Dai Li agents who was the best of the best...at 14. Even with metal bending azula outclasses Kuvira skillwise in almost ever way. Stop the LOK glazing. The LAB charaters were so ahead of their time that they make grown adults in Korra's era look like childs play.
I don't think this is fair since we're comparing a teen versus a woman in her prime. Though i think Azula in her prime might be able to take Kuvira, as a teen she would lose. I think their fighting style and strategy seems alike but while Azula has a very proactive style Kuvira usually doesn't. They're both super agile but i think Azula would be the first one to get tired since Kuvira would be able to dodge mostly using her bending while Azula would need to physically dodge. Also some of Kuvira's moves seems almost undodgeable. By the means of sub-bending, despite lightning being stronger and deadlier, Kuvira is a master metalbender which has more use in fighting as she'd be able to use it throughout the whole fight instead of a few strong attacks that needs a charge time and could be dodged, especially by an earthbender. TLDR: Azula would put up a great fight but I don't think she would win 1v1 against Kuvira as a teen.
Azula had never met an air bender when she first faced Aang who happened to be a tattooed master of air. I think she can adapt to metal bending Kuvira quickly
Yeah, aang is literally built for speed and dodging. Kuvira doesn’t have a speed advantage over Aang who Azula can already keep pace with. Aside from *maybe* Ty Lee (not including Azula’s firebending jumps) aang is basically her only contender in agility in last airbender at least.
Good morning. I'm fan azula 🔵🔥⚡️ and ty lee 🎀🎪 and mai ⚔️ and legend of korra series 🌊💧🔥🪨⛰️🌪 and avatar last Airbender series 🌪🌊💧🔥🪨⛰️.

Great video and keep make great videos and keep make make videos and keep make more great videos. I enjoy this video.
Well you see, lightning for azula is pretty long to shoot out, so really kuvira has the edge on strategy, knowledge, agility, decisive and can use the ground to stall azula as much as she can. Also kuvira can literally use the metal to strap on azula and throw her around constantly until azula gets dizzy and can no longer fight.
In order for Azula to be defeated a 2 on 1 fight was needed. Thats how strong she is. If we are talking about Azula before Mai and Ty Lee left her I believe that Azula would have even defeated Zulo and Katara on a 2 on 1 battle
Nah, hold on, you’re just straight up overrating Azula at this point. Whether she’s mentally stable or not, she would have no chance of beating both Zuko and Katara on her own. Either Zuko or Katara alone would already be tough for her to handle, talk less of both of them fighting her at the same time. Don’t forget that Zuko and Katara had improved so much by then compared to Book 1.
@@e-davidi.7354 I will have to disagree with you, Katara went with Zuko because Dey both knew Azula was not someone u can go on a one on one battle, they both knew how powerful she was, and again Zuko knew she going through an emotional breakdown, she was “slipping away” Zuko saw a weak spot and took advantage of it, Do not forget her best friends betrayed her mai and tai lee, really got her messed up..
@@marceloasensiofilho3833 What does Azula not appearing in Book 1 even have to do with what I said?? I'm simply pointing out how Zukor and Katara have improved compared to Book 1 or the beginning of Book 2.
Metalbending can actually be quite advantageous against lightning benders. If you lightning bend whilst there's metal attached to you, you just fry yourself. I don't doubt for a second that that's how republic city police handles lightning bending. Azula's lightning bending isn't that good of an argument for her. To the contrary, lightning bending removes her biggest advantage, her speed. If azula tries to bend lightning, within one half of a second she'd be restrained and unable to firebend. Her lightning bending simply is too slow. Azula can't block Kuvira's attacks, Kuvira can. But Azula's agility will more than suffice. But then we get in the technical side. Azula's blue fire should just burn everyone who gets too close, including her. For some reason, heat doesn't seem to exist. And metalbending have the potential to be incredibly dark too. There are things than can be done that just aren't shown. Like how a bloodbender could just kill someone in less than a second, or how an airbender can suffocate someone's lungs... oh wait. Metalbenders can just use small pieces of metal and yeet them at someone in a cloud. An earth, water or airbender could block this, so it's obviously not the greatest strategy, but who can't block that? Firebenders. If you throw 20ft of murder cloud at someone it doesn't really matter how agile you are. This is never done in the show, and is just a bad idea, but think about it, why would Kuvira do that? She doesn't want Azula to survive. It's not like she can stop it or throw it all back like a metalbender could. Azula's lightning bender would be completely useless as it would just make her electrocute the area she's standing in, and being cut open by thousands of small nails. It's a bad strategy nearly anywhere else, but in this scenario it really works. Earthbending tends to be slow, yet Kuvira's metalbending is one of the quickest attacks we see. You can cover large areas with murder cloud so that's it for dodgeabillity and you don't have to worry about lightning bending or your opponent blocking or redirecting your hits.
1:58 I know that video is not analysis of agni-kai but i just coulnd't help it... he really just said Zuko would die if it weren't for Katara!? Zuko would have won if Katara wouldn't go full braindead mode just standing on the open... he sacrificed himself, not getting overpowered by Azula :/

Crazy hearing that Azula is an old school fire bending fighting type.
its true
Not really. Idk why people don't get this, but it's made a point bt mako and bolin that Kirras fighting is too slow and open.
This is because she's trained in old school/traditional styles, which is why she gets beat in fights.
It's the whole reason she started probending.
Same goes for all the OG Cast.
@@GrimAngel01100 The Fighting style being Slow and Open doesn't necessary mean weak Mako and Boelin was talking about this in pertaining to her doing pro bending. Korra did probending because she liked their fighting style and could use it to better hers doesn't necessarily mean they were better that is based on the bender's ability during a battle. Toph still fights old school and is still the best Earth/Metal bender in the show hence why Korra wanted her to teach her not to get beat up. Tenzin also fights old school n did better against the red lotus than anyone else. The OG cast fighting style maybe traditional but how many persons from the New era can you say is good at their bending or even renoun masters ? Boelin is nowhere near a top 5 earthbenders nor can I call him a master Mako isn't at Zuko nor Azula's level of fire bending non of the Chi blockers seen in the LOK is better than Ty Lee . The best benders I can say in the new era would be Kuveira , Tenzin, Tenzin kids, Sui yeng ,Lin, Red Lotus, Amon, Tanrak , Eska and Desna and Korra . I can add Mako here because he was good just not better than the OG fire benders mentioned above I think Zuko's grandson may be great also but he got limited screentime so can't use him here.
@@GrimAngel01100 Also we saw alot of water bending in the LOK but they pale in comparison to Katarra's feats in ATLA
@andrade1480 I never said anything about being weaker, that's not how fighting styles work.
Idk what your definition of "master" is but it certainly isn't one that fits either show. Katara wasn't a master of water bending before becoming Aang's master, neither was Zuko (btw Mako is the only one to use the fire knife, same a Zuko).
Mako and Bolin are at the equivalent of pro boxers/ MMA fighters. Mako could use lightning like nothing by the time he was Zuko and Azula's age, and the Firefoxes are well known in Republic City, so they aren't fun of the mill fighters.
Mind you, Korra was trained by masters her whole childhood up to the start of the show, masters of traditional martial arts and masters of bending, so at what point is someone a master?
Tenzin is a special case, people keep ignoring the fact that dude is an Airbender. It doesn't matter what style he uses, people don't understand how to fight airbenders. That's why (the notion of gaining bending aside) Zaheer -as well as his martial prowess which is essentially MMA- was such a challenge, because he's using a bending that people just haven't faced.
To your mention of "talking about pro bending" that doesn't matter, that's part of my point. Pro bending is more boxing/MMA like, where the emphasis on quick, direct, and consistently effective/non-circumstantial attacks.
Also, it's very influential, being a primary sport event televised all over. You'll notice that even street thugs like those Korra chased fight in this manner, this is the basis of fighting in LOK, as opposed to the more flashy traditional moves of ATLA.
That all said, Bolin and Kuvira are the best examples of what I mean. You can see that typically earthbenders use stances that are low and firmly planted, with their feet flat as often as possible. However, in LOK earthbenders have much lighter footwork and only go into firm stances for heavy attacks, as again, the boxing-esque style is more prevalent.
This is especially highlighted with Kuvira.

Azula's blue fire is more intense (cutting walls) and has explosive properties. She has also developed her own fighting style. Thanks to Li and Lo. Kuvira might have observed some firebending techniques, but Azula in on a whole different level. Azula got tactical military training and the best education the Fire Nation could offer. Ozai indeed succeeded in making her a deadly klling machine.
Kuvira developed her own fighting style as well. If kuvira traps azula with her metal in any way than thats pretty much it for azula. Katara had azula on the ropes during the book 2 finale.

Ironically Azula's speech to Long Feng would also be applicable to Kuvira.
Hell no ☠️
Coming from humble Beginning, had to claw their way to power with the divine right to rule. Yeah I can see that.
Yeah
That wouldn't happen because Long Feng didn't have the leverage that Kuvira had. Even if she did, Kuvira isn't the type of person that gives up so easily.
This was shown later on after she was arrested. That being said, yes I think that Azula would win.
But kuvira is proud of how she did that
Fun fact: Azula is one of the only female firebenders in both AtLA and LoK. Only other one i can think of is P'Li.
Meanwhile male firebenders include Azulong, Sozin, Ozai, Iroh, Zuko, Jeong Jeong, Dzao, Combustion Man, Chit Sang, Mako, other Iroh, Lightning Bolt Zolt. Even generic Fire Nation soldiers are usually male.
Its because in Fire Nation society male are considered fit for the military function
its not intense as the North Water Tribe customs, they were truly 100% against women fighting
meanwhile for the Fire Nation, it simply wasnt that normal, but women could fight if they wanted and ocupy high military positions
Youuforget about Fire Lord Izumi, the daughter of Zuko in LOK. Even though we do not really know their abilitu
@@San-cb9mj When they were depicting generic goons in the first two seasons, but once the gaang was actually in the fire nation, there were quite a lot of female soldiers and guards (all in midriff-revealing tops of course).
The prison guards of the boiling rock. Many were female, and all were firebenders
Not true... the fire nation is actually the most progressive when it comes to women. They had women in their armies and as guards. In the invasion epsiode and a few others they have female guards and military that can fire bend.
In the EARTH kingdom if you notice, Toph is actually one of the only female earthbenders and I don't recall seeing one woman in the earth kingdom army or as a guard.
Kuvira is fast with how she uses her metal but we all know azula is the queen of out maneuvering people she's just that skill and agile kuvira won't keep up
True and she can shoot lightning extremely quickly and easily reads other benders' techniques and quirks. She's just too fast, but so is Kuvira, that's why both of them are almost at the same level.
whoever wins would really just come down to the setting, if their surrounded in a room full of metal i'd prob take Kuvira, if their in the desert under the hot sun then i'd take Azula
@@SmoovyNovaFan no if it's in a desert kuvira would still use the metals on her armor and treat azula how she treated Kora only because azula will eventually run out of stamina due to her running around dodging

in the hot desert with the sun beaming on them Azula would be at her strongest as a firebender, Kuvira would only have the sand and her metal armour to combat against Azula with a buff in firebending. In a room full of metal like say a warship, Kuvira wins, but in a place like the desert, Azula would just overpower her metal shards.@@devontewilson791
Idk the only think I'm idk about is those metal bands . I'm not sure if she's dodge anything like that azula wins her fights because she s more precise than anyone she fights .she doesn't waste movement.

And the way that Azula just can do splits so easily is impressive 😂
FR
Azula stood her ground against toph, Ang, katara and Zoka while an eclipse took her bending away and she wasn’t even taking them seriously. Cuvira stands no chance
Let’s not act like Toph couldn’t have packed her up on the 1st attack, she just chose to trap her in rock instead. And the majority of that “Standing her ground” she was being backed up by the Dai Li 💤

@@justin-dr6flIt's been shown many times how lightning bending destroyed a huge chunk of earth
Yes metal is a conductor. Please tell me what azula is going to do if kuvira traps her in a ball of metal as she’s using lighting. Or what she’s going to do if she puts mercury on her or even in her. Let’s be honest kuvira is broken and has many ways to actually kill but for some reason people are nerfing her. Straight hands azula is more likely to win but include bending and it’s kuvira wins mid diff
That's a really good point. The old school fire benders put out a lot more destructive power than modern fire benders. Azula is very smart and perceptive. And we've seen her effectively fight benders from all types, and she has been able to figure out conters to pretty much everything she's seen. And i honestly dont believe Kuviras shackles will stop Azula, she'll figure out how to melt or destroy them.
They’re both great combatants, and I think Azula has this one. She’ll exploit any weakness Kuvira has and won’t hesitate to use it. She’s really a lunatic and ruthless, she doesn’t go on morals unlike other villains.
What weaknesses? Azula loses heads up 1v1 and would have to resort to underhanded moves to even have a chance.
The problem for Azula, Kuvira is way too solid to fall for any tricks and would just bulldog her way for the win.
Well in a fight kevira operates with a lot less weakness than azula I think. Azula isn't mentally there. She can get annoyed or crazy and we know kevira doesn't move emotionally .a strong women mentally would actually probably make azula flip out and go crazy ,at that point I do think kevira takes a relatively easy win.. azula is only cold against obvious weak people or those who validate her by showing fear. Obviously kevira will do know of that
@@komlat253 exactly
Kuvira ignores the taunting while Azula will bite the bait and then get folded
I think you're misunderstanding their fighting styles.
Azula is a proactive fighter, leaning on her rising positive jing to increase the pressure on her oppoonents to create opportunities.
Kuvira on the other hand is a very disruptive fighter who has mastered neutral jing. She isnt the first to strike, relying on brutal counters and tempo disruption to not let her opponents get into their stride. We see it when she restricts movements of the limbs with metal sheets and disrupts your stances with earth.
More importantly, Kuvira has a much simpler win condition. Azula has to incapacitate or kill kuvira with something that can overcome a metalbending masters defense while Kuvira needs to get a single metal band onto one of Azulas limbs. If its her feet, her fire jets and mobility are gone. If its hee hand, she loses half her ability to generate lightning. And since Azula can't track metal after it whizzes past her, she has to keep her head on a swivel to not get caught up.
Long range, kuvira has more time to evade her kightning. Close range, kuvira is packing her up.
Kuvira takes it mid diff
The 1st person I’ve seen that knows what they’re talking about 🙌🏾💯
@@Senpai.876 I am the guy who aggressively challenges bad Atla takes. No tolerance for media illiteracy
Hello fellow ATLA NERD
I didn’t watch ALOK much
But from what I see Kuvira is amazing, she follows the similar approach of fighting like Toph. She might be fighting in pattern like style but its simply because that move itself is versatile and fluid, I believe that in a one on one first encounter she’ll incapacitate Azula for sure, but not easily and if for any reason Azula escapes…
That’s where things start to get interesting, Azula is very versatile very adaptable and unpredictable, she will maneuver a means to suppress Kuvira’s abilities, she has no restraint no jurisdiction, and we are forgetting that the last time she lost, she did so by being restricted by Katara, if for any reason she goes against a formidable opponent like Kuvira, you should know that she learns from her mistakes, almost is not perfect, she will not be restrained not again so I believe she’ll escape when the odds are high against her and when ready she’ll strike, with the most precise and ferocious bolt right here👉🏻❤️.
Especially IF Kuvira restraints, she’s manipulated, and makes 10 moves before her opponent.
@@pereboseregodknows2018 the kind of restraint that Kuvira would employ is the bands around the limbs and magnetizing them together. With a fighter so dependent on their limbs like Azula, losing access to an arm or a leg is a slow march to death.
Kuvira actually has more options the further away Azula is, such as curving metal sheets around Azula if she goes in the air, hiding underground if she can't and using the seismic sense, etc.
It's like Azula trying to fight a not blind Toph
Hard agree
Speaking abt the bending, Earth bending is a lot more versatile than fire and i think you may be underating Kivira at all. But ok…
Azula does have good agility but she can’t take a hit which leaves dodging her only choice. Kuvira is a sniper, she won’t give her room to dodge and she’ll know boulder throwing is out of the question. It comes down to if lightning is enough to take kuvira down cause her fire bending alone can’t beat kuvira. Metal blocks fire and she can just create a metal shield as she did against Korra
Katara already bested Azula when she wasn’t even in her prime yet, the reason she resorts to restraining Azula instead of outright demolishing her was the fact that Katara wanted to end it quickly and heal Zuko. But on a one on one, Katara would wipe the floor with Azula, without an aid of a full moon.
We know that katara would beat Azula with bloodbending not waterbending.
Actually, the reasons why katara won that battle are
1. Azula had already been fighting zuko so she would have been exhausted. Imagine two against one.
2. She was already paranoid before that battle, hence, she wasn't thinking straight (remember when she successfully evaded 4 bending masters toph, iroh, aang and kitara).
So that battle wasn't even.
Azula will crisp katara in a one on one combat if azula wasn't paranoid
@@redzerterrawitz4430 Katara already bested Azula in ba sing se without Azula being insane or exhausted, come up with a better counterpoint
@@rosa6482they seem to always forget that part when they want to elevate Azula over Katara
@@MindBursterz she could've easily bested her with blood bending especially since Azula didn't know she had that ability but she held back because stopped using it. Just goes to show how powerful Katara actually is...
Kuvira's metalbending would be too much for Azula to handle. To mention the old school style being too much is funny. When Korra was trying to join pro bending, they said her fighting style was old fashioned and too slow(Korra was trained by the white lotus). This made Korra switch to a more modern style that also made her a better fighter.
Hahaha exactly
Other comments is full of coping and fanboyism for the Last Airbender characters as usual.
Kuvira honestly wins this one easily and it's not even close.
@@ultimateyagermanazula fighting style is literally adaptive and in the comics she’s gotten a lot more powerful while also being able to instant generate lighting
But it didn't lack power and also Korra learned fire bending during a time of peace so ofc her fire bending wouldn't be that fast. Fire bending in atla was fast if you look at the fire benders in the atla or just Azula in general
@@JTAEKOOK4EVRR Korra's fire never lacked power. Her fighting style is more modern, thus better than the older styles. Y'all in this growing up in peace like Azula was on the front lines fighting thousands of something, lol. Azula has nothing for Kuvira.
@mikegearsmitchell Ofc Korra's fire didn't lack power she's the avatar she's an outlier. Older firebending is more powerful Pl'i one of the strongest firebenders didn't use modern firebending but old firebending mixed with her combustion bending Azula beats Kuvira with one lightning strike
Great match up, it really was nice wondering who would come out on top.
Thanks
Azula! She’s a prodigy! Probably if she was sane the best fire bender in the history!
I dunno about that one.
Aang and Toph are similar contenders - Toph inventing Metal Bending and radar, and Aang being the youngest air bending master all time (before his daughter) and also being the avatar.
In a fight, she might beat them both, though. Aang because he is a pacifist, and toph because Azula comes off as quite light on her feet.
Edit: I didnt see you said “fire” bender.
Then yeah, she probably becomes the greatest firebender all time when she gets older.
The glazing for Azula in this video is crazy.
Kuvira is calm and has her emotions under control.

I would love to be a spectator
I personally would side with kuvira. He mentioned that azula would have beaten zuko in the agni kai but I don't think so. In general yes azula is stronger but she was "off" that day and resorted to aiming at katara simply because she was losing to zuko. She also did lose against katara and got baited to being over the water and getting chained up. To be fair I think that was just a very off day for her but what I am saying is that day isn't a good day to show her feats. Regardless however, I didn't see any "off" days with kuvira. I think shes more precise, just as agile, and has solid control over metal and earth. It definitely depends on the environment. And the fact azula can essentially fly is difficult to counter... (I wonder if kuvira can fly by moving the metal around? probably not). And lightning might be annoying, however in korras world every firebender lighning bends also and yet kuvira still dominated that world. Overall from what we have seen I would give it to kuvira 6/10. I agree maybe if azula was older and we saw more feats. But only taking from the things we saw I would give it to kuvira. Great video! thank you for the analysis.
I'd also go with Kuvira, as though she might have less raw talent, she's a significantly older and more experienced combat veteran with extreme military discipline, while Azula's an extremely gifted but arrogant, over-privilaged and emotional 15-year-old. Though like you, I could see it going either way and only give Kuvira a slight edge.
Not sure about that matchup, but i probably give Kuvira the edge, since Azula has no experience fighting metal benders.
She has the hottest fire blue flame in real life is used to melt through metal like butter and she literally can destroy earth benders alone Azusa would beat her no problem
And not only that they literally attacked her with all 4 element styles all at once and did absolutely nothing to her
She also had no experience fighting an airbender and did fine
Azula has no experience?! are you kidding me man ? Her whole life build with experience and practice she talented person
she had no experience fighting an airbender and would keep up every time
the kuvira downplay is so crazy
Fr
Right XD talk about d-riding!
Gave kuvira experience meanwhile azula was born in a time of war even her none bender friends are very powerful
The point about lightning got me. Lightning will not be an issue in this fight. Given how long it takes Azula to generate lightning, Kuvira would interrupt it before she had a chance to fire given how quick she is. I think Kuvira wins high-diff.
@@matthewtolentino4179 she was spamming lightning while fighting katara
Gotta admit, this would definitely be an interesting contest.
"Kuvira's moves are smooth and fluid, something we've never seen in any other earthbender"
Ghazan: 🤔
rewatch the shlw
I swear i think im the only person who thinks Kuvira could body Azula. Azula lost every fight she had with Katara. I genuinely believe Kuvira could beat Katara. The lightning is a factor, sure. But Kuvira isnt stupid enough to allow Azula to get off a shot of lightning at her. She moves like a fairly well trained airbender while incorperating very precise and powerful earth and metalbending into it. Azula could stand against her. But i think Kuvira has the overall edge.
Nope I agree with you as well, Kuvira takes this one easily.
What's happened here in the comment section, is that people tend to fanboy for the character that came first.

@@ultimateyagerman be sincere man. The only fight kuvira won (against exceptional fighters) was against a rusted Kora. Mako was just a pro bender in a bending sport, he was talented true.

Honestly saying that kuvira would beat azula (mentally stable) is outrightly unfair

Absolutely awesome!!!! I love vs. battles and this was really well thought out and put together. At first my money was on Kuvira but you've sold me on Azula's resume
You see that metal cap on top of Azulas head. That would be game over. Kuvira literally just has to metal bend that down a little and it's over.
Azula is smart enough not to use her royal pin. lol
Unless it's platinum instead of metal

Kuzera all day. She took out an Avatar on more than one occasion and is very tactfully aware and smart. Yeah sure Azula can lightning bend, but she is easily outsmarted. Azusa’s more of an ambush fighter, and her ego about being the best will take her out. Kuzera can use earth and metal, and she can take on more than one opponent while easily taking them out when they use multiple elements.
Azula took on aang a more skilled fighter than korra. Korra has never won a 1v1. Aang has been a master since age 12. Azula was living in a war. Manipulated the biggest earth kingdom, Gave team avatar the biggest fear. Beat down the kyoshi warriors. N Took on Aang katara toph zuko all by her. self. Azula is the highest IQ female in the entire avatar verse. The only person that broke her was her self
and did all that at 14
@@Wwasgud 🤨Aang was 12 when he took on Azula and it was one time solo one time with friends, neither showed how skilled he was, he used one element each time. Korra has won many one v. one, once in the ring, another was against Kuvera. Korra also lived in a time of upheaval and civil unrest, which you can count as war. Aang was only an air bending master. It took him much longer than a summer for him to master the elements. Azula was manipulated by the biggest earth kingdom. She usurped the Earth King because he was stupid and his administrator was a pussy scared of a teenage girl. Azalea's IQ is so low you can't scan it, you gotta dig for it.Have you even seen the show?
@@WwasgudNo hes more skilled & korra has won 1v1s before stop that shit. She beat unavaatu & kuvira in the 2nd round as she got more hits & was alot less damage once the mech was destroyed + all the fights she won in pro bending against other skilled benders
Aang literally isn’t more skilled hes a half trained avatar who hadn’t mastered earth or fire vs korra who’s mastered all 4 & is stated by her white lotus trainers to excel in all things bending/combat related & she has more sub elements so stop w/ the bias lmao
@@Wwasgudkuvira ran a whole empire and was highly feared the same way azula was & azula took on a half trained avatar who wasn’t in his prime vs kuvira who fought korra near/at her prime

Ehh, Azula's lightning generation is rather slow. As you said, Kuvira could restrain her with metal binders.
Others will say, "Well, Azula could dodge the metal binders."
I don't think so, my friend.
The metal is floating in the air and could be manipulated to catch the target.
If I were an Earthbender with Metalbending capabilities, well, I would use the metal binders to restrain Azula. And I could bury the metals inside Azula's body so that I could control her. It is like bloodbending.
(If you watched X-Men: Days of Future Past 2014, look at Magneto who used metals and buried them inside the sentinels so that he could control them).
Back to the topic.
You have shown in the clip that Azula generates lightning, but my friend, it takes seconds for her to generate it. It is slow. My goodness. Why would Kuvira wait for her to generate lightning?
And if Azula were to hit her with lightning, Kuvira could easily shield herself with a big boulder or Earth in front of her OR Kuvira could plunge herself into the Earth and hide. Just like Aang did in order to avoid Toph's rock attack. (watch it on this video at 0:44 : ua-cam.com/video/5mgiBlxyKIE/v-deo.html )
And with the metal strips binding Azula, her lightning will just backfire.
Kuvira is agile because she's a dancer. Remember, Kuvira also has Earthbending abilities. She can easily manipulate the earth beneath Azula, just like Kuvira did to Korra in this video at 5:52
I really love Azula. We do like her as ATLA fans don't we?
But on this one, Kuvira wins.
Exactly! Hahaha they will say, "lightning bender vs metalbender come on" well kuvira could still use Earth and Earth is not a conductor of electricity.
I’m going to hard disagree on this one. I think a lot of people fail to account for the huge power creep in LoK. Korra is an adult avatar who trained for 4 years and mastered all 4 elements (air is a bit shaky). To ignore decades of differences in battle experience, new bending styles and the fact that she was literally the best metal bender besides Toph in the entire show because she might now be able to adapt to Azula’s unorthodox fighting style is a weak argument considering she fought the only person with 4 bending styles at the same. I would think you would need to be more adaptable to fight someone with 4 bending styles than you would to fight someone using a bending style in an unorthodox way. To say Azula beats Kuvira would scale her at the level of an adult Avatar at 14 years old. Azula is one of my favs but this is a terrible take.
I will ask you only one question, can kurvira survive lightening attacks? Cause even fire benders can't not stop her lightening, so tell me how kurvira survives that
@@wealthforex1if ang can she can to but she can always stop her doing …. N kuvira has definitely fought way more lightning benders since every regular Joe has lightning
Katara absolutely defeated Azula lmao. "She only restricted her movements", yes, and then at that point, she would be at Katara's mercy. Katara could absolutely have killed her after that if that was her priority or if she even wanted to. I get you're trying to hype the matchup up by painting both combatants as these super badasses who, even when they lose, they don't REALLY lose, but be for real lol
Wait hold up, kuvira wasn't bending the metal tank, she was just bending the controls that were made out of metal
Yes i know
@@MindBursterz But you just..... nvm 😑
She literally was bending the machine…was u not aware it was making the same movements she was?
She was doing both. You could tell because certain parts of the mech were moving without any other controls moving, in the same motion as her movements.
@@titan5999 Lol, she couldn't bend the machine because THE TANK WAS MADE OUT OF PLATINUM
Nah, my money is on kuvira. Kuvira’s accuracy and precision and how much of her environment and even her armor she can bend give her an advantage imo. She can make the ground unstable to get azula off balance, keep her dodging with earth and metal projectiles and create barriers to block fire attacks. Earthbenders are just too OP
Id go with kuvira, something the shows were bad at was showing diversity of earth bending (for everyone but main characters) honestly earth bending is so versatile for offence and defence.
Kuvira uses earth bending so well (which is a shame most soldiers just throw rocks) she turns kora around with a movement of her feet, she puts metal cuffs on her which she can control.
I think in reality earth benders would be easily some of the most powerful benders to fight
This is a Leo woman vs Capricorn woman battle and I’m kinda into it
Fanboism at its finest, Azula is no match for kuvira, it takes time to melt metal, and kuvira literaly face an avatar state, and most villan in legend of korra is op. I want azula to win but making azula win by good explanation makes you a pure fanboy.
Bruh you good?
In terms of bending... I would give Azula a slight edge, though mostly because we can assume that metal is a conductor of electricity in the real world and would likely be similar in the Avatar universe.
However, in nearly every other factor... Kuvira would have a clear advantage. For one thing, because Kora is the Avatar that comes immediately after Aang and that Zuko, Katara, and Toph are all still alive during the "Legend of Kora," it is probable that Kuvira knows a lot about Azula and her technique through the histories of the Hundred Year War between the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom (and its allies). While fire benders of Kuvira's' time... like Mako... may not have fought in a style like Azula's, the past war and Azula's own legacy would not be so ancient that her style would not be unheard of. In this, it is probable that Kuvira has seen historical records on Azula's fighting style and would have some knowledge of Azula simply from the fact that Kuvira has come AFTER Azula.
At the same time, we have to also note that by the end of "Avatar: the Last Airbender," Azula's mental sanity has completely gone... While she is at the height of her physical and bending powers at that point, her mind is not there. And it's something where I would say that Zuko probably could have beaten her as a result of that. She was jumping at shadows that she was imagining by that point. She only gains an advantage over Zuko when she fires lightning at Katara, which forces Zuko into a self-sacrificial action to save Katara from taking a burst of lightning with nothing to protect her (as water is ALSO a conductor of electricity). And while Kuvira may have had moments of arrogance and looking down on opponents... she never showed any of the insanity that Azula ended up suffering from.
And the fact that Kuvira was able to retain her sanity would ultimately enable her to avoid the sorts of mistakes and weaknesses that her use of metal bending would present to Azula's lightning. In fact, while Kuvira would still be wearing metal, she would still be more than capable of earth-bending, and may rely on that to put Azula in a tough spot. As she could use earth to restrain Azula or as a shield against Azula's attacks. And with her mind still sane, Kuvira would essentially be able to read the situation and essentially do to Azula what Obi Wan Kenobi does to Anakin/Vader on Mustafar.
ok no way you said azula was gna win against zuko without katara. Zuko was cooking her so hard
I mean, if she wasn’t having a mental crisis at the time katara and zuko would have been packed up.
Yeah@@fmrc93
Actually i think kuvira has the upper hand IF she fights Azula at the age they are in their shows. Azula needs some time to build up a lightning, and kuvira could easily cut her up by metalbending her plates, or if not kill her, she can lock her up. Kuvira is fast, Korra's fire wasnt as useful against her and if lightning is a serious obstacle she can bend the metal off her armour and use it from the ground....azule only has pure power and offense. Now 14yo azula vc 14yo kurvira... Azula finna have barbecue....azula didnt even need an avatar to defeat her during sozin's comet...while korra had to sweat inside that robot suit

Kuvira is metal bending and has giant metal suit that Azula would be able to strike with lightning, and metal conducts electricity so Kuvira would be zapped to death o,o
In Kuvira's defense, she can use metal as a lightning rod and neutralize all lightning attacks.

Another outcome I agree with
Something else to note is that when aang used stone handcuffs to hold Azula during the eclipse she broke out so she could do the same to kuvira's
With Azula's precision she could strike a direct lightning bolt at kuvira and fry her as kuvira is nearly covered in metal

Azula's husband : what are u preparing for dinner. Azula : Kuvira
Kuvira became the sign language translator at an Eminem concert 4:57
Why didnt other metal benders just metal bend the armor Kuvira wears???
Azula wins but there are multiple factors you have to include in the fight such as the form you give them, the setting, their mental stability at the time and more, so each at their best Azula wins but I CAN see Kuvira MAYBE slipping in a win.
Oh yea, definitely.
At peak conditions for both sides, I think Azula pulls the win, probably 8/10 times. In a controlled environment, just measuring each of their peaks, I would bank on Azula.
But if we just randomly toss them at each other, in an unexpected, "ambush" scenario, I would actually hedge on Kuvira. Especially if we allow for meta knowledge, since Kuvira almost certainly read her history books, while Azula would be thrown off by metal bending - so Kuvira would have strong potential for a quick, off-guard win in a completely randomized scenario.
I think Azula has a very real chance of getting bodied by a skilled metalbender, since she has absolutely no experience against metalbenders. I mean, Toph used it a few times, but she wasn't yet proficient with it, and I don't remember if Azula ever saw that.
Sorta funny, really, since Azula strikes me as more improvisational, while Kuvira seems more analytical and stiff. So the idea that Azula would win a controlled fight and Kuvira would win a random scenario is a tad ironic.
I think it would be infinitely more interesting, however, to see Kuvira and Azula go against each other in a strategy game.

@@XUV747 Funnily enough, it could happen canonically, if Azula is still around by the time of Legend of Korra. Granted, this would be an Azula with dementia, and maybe Alzheimer's, but still. It theoretically could've happened in the setting of LoK.
Kuvira was wearing a THICK plot armour in season 4 .. the writer just wanted to make her a worthy opponent for the avatar and wanted to make her a main villain. so Azula will crush her with EASE .. 🔥🔥🔥
The difference between them is that Azula is likeable even though she's a villain making you want to watch her over and over. And on Kuvira, every time I see her I hate her, my blood boils when I see her.
Azula would not expect kuvira fast metal stripes
They are both cunning, both deadly, both feared and respected.
Both also know a specialized form of bending (lightning and metal).
Kuvira is not insane like Azula though. Also, Kuvira was a leader which Azula was not.
Funny enough, they both were defeated by a water tribe girl.
One thing to note about both series is the animators and stormy writes consistency with matching stances and showcasing characters technique and prowess with bending style and effectiveness. Being able to read the battle and follow along with what a bender might throw out based on the start-up movements.
Not in the sense of predictability, but the fact that there are very specific movements necessary of the bender to yield the greatest effect in combat. It adds another layer to just how intense these fights are.
I think lightning bending really showcases just how practiced and poised you need to be to fire consistent shots without taking damage yourself.
If Azula had some type of spiritual training, or master helping her correct her mental she definitely is soloing anyone. In the end her mental struggles are what lead to her defeat.
I really like her complex character and story, she isn’t just a random villain. She is an abused, neglected high-achieving daughter whose need for acknowledgment fuels her perfectionist and narcissistic tendencies. Unable to overcome the emotional trauma of her mothers passing and fathers unbearable standards she finds herself unraveling when faced with the possibility of failure. She is a very real character, who knows what living with her father was actually like.
She might not have received the physical brutality her brother did, but she was definitely suffering mentally and emotionally, which can often times be worse.
As much as TLA is better than LOK lightning doesn't seem to be rare in Kuviras time while metal bending is super rare in Azulas, gotta give the edge to Kuvira
lightning is common in TLOK so it wouldn’t be much of a surprise to Kuvira
Lightening could be a weakness for Azula. Because unlike fire lightening requires very strict and precise moving. And it is quite slow to generate
I already knew it would be Azula because shes just on a completely different level. However, i do want to take a moment to appreciate how amazing their individual fighting styles are!!! I never realized how unique both of their styles were. They were just always "Super powerful and cool benders/fighters" but when you really pay attention to the way their fighting is animated its CRAZY imagining the amount of strength, quick thinking, quick reflexes, and mobility thats used!!!!
I'll go with Kuvira.
Because Kuvira is in control
While Azula is out of control
But then u have comic book azula who is now sane, defeated zuko easily and can now redirect lightning which she figured out on her own
@@hulksmash7960azula can redirect lightning. Good for her. If she can redirect metal and earth that will be good. It's not like kuvira will shoot lightning anyway
02:04
How is restricting movements not defeating someone?
Or is it only a defeat when you kille the person or knock them out?
Kuvira was Azula re incarnated the way she was so ruthless lol
If Azula is going straight for the kill it's ggs for Kuvira. I really appreciate Kuvira's style of earth bending, we're used to see earth benders bend large quantities of rocks while she seems to bend just enough to make her move. I can see her making earth conduits (specially with her metal armour) in order to nulify Azula's bending. In most scenarios I see Azula winning, but it'd be a tag game, if Kuvira manages to get Azula, she wins for sure.
Regardless, Azula would whoop Korra's ass
Yessir
Great vid
How about if Kuvira wrapped Azula's body with metal - because metal is a great conductor of heat and lightning ... Azula's bending would burn herself
If she could. I think azusa would be too hard to hit with something like that.
That's the thing, "IF". We know damn well that Azula wouldn't let that happen and would just pretty much dodge any metal flying towards her.
@@bluebearcz2429That’s pretty hard to dodge even for Azula
Azula was boxing and defeating full grown Dai Li agents who was the best of the best...at 14. Even with metal bending azula outclasses Kuvira skillwise in almost ever way. Stop the LOK glazing. The LAB charaters were so ahead of their time that they make grown adults in Korra's era look like childs play.
"Suspended her movements"
Yes, that's what defeating her means.
Only the harder way.
I don't think this is fair since we're comparing a teen versus a woman in her prime. Though i think Azula in her prime might be able to take Kuvira, as a teen she would lose.
I think their fighting style and strategy seems alike but while Azula has a very proactive style Kuvira usually doesn't. They're both super agile but i think Azula would be the first one to get tired since Kuvira would be able to dodge mostly using her bending while Azula would need to physically dodge. Also some of Kuvira's moves seems almost undodgeable.
By the means of sub-bending, despite lightning being stronger and deadlier, Kuvira is a master metalbender which has more use in fighting as she'd be able to use it throughout the whole fight instead of a few strong attacks that needs a charge time and could be dodged, especially by an earthbender.
TLDR: Azula would put up a great fight but I don't think she would win 1v1 against Kuvira as a teen.
Azula had never met an air bender when she first faced Aang who happened to be a tattooed master of air.
I think she can adapt to metal bending Kuvira quickly
Yeah, aang is literally built for speed and dodging. Kuvira doesn’t have a speed advantage over Aang who Azula can already keep pace with. Aside from *maybe* Ty Lee (not including Azula’s firebending jumps) aang is basically her only contender in agility in last airbender at least.
Love the VS theories! Keep it coming!
Azula is my favorite girl!
Love strong and athletic women!
can u do azula vs ming hua
You got it!
I never thought of this fight 🔥🔥🔥
Azula was a match for Aang where as Kuvira was only Korra’s match cos Korra was in a bad state 😂😂😂😂 difference is respect the OH villain
Good morning. I'm fan azula 🔵🔥⚡️ and ty lee 🎀🎪 and mai ⚔️ and legend of korra series 🌊💧🔥🪨⛰️🌪 and avatar last Airbender series 🌪🌊💧🔥🪨⛰️. Everyone have great day and next day and week and weekend and next week and full happiness 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊. Great video and keep make great videos and keep make make videos and keep make more great videos. I enjoy this video.
Well you see, lightning for azula is pretty long to shoot out, so really kuvira has the edge on strategy, knowledge, agility, decisive and can use the ground to stall azula as much as she can. Also kuvira can literally use the metal to strap on azula and throw her around constantly until azula gets dizzy and can no longer fight.
Fair point
Kuvira would be testing Azula for sure but all metal armor doesn’t help when Azula can use lighting on her.
In order for Azula to be defeated a 2 on 1 fight was needed. Thats how strong she is.
If we are talking about Azula before Mai and Ty Lee left her I believe that Azula would have even defeated Zulo and Katara on a 2 on 1 battle
FACTS!
Nah, hold on, you’re just straight up overrating Azula at this point. Whether she’s mentally stable or not, she would have no chance of beating both Zuko and Katara on her own. Either Zuko or Katara alone would already be tough for her to handle, talk less of both of them fighting her at the same time. Don’t forget that Zuko and Katara had improved so much by then compared to Book 1.
@@e-davidi.7354 bro Azula does not even appear on Book one. The mental breakdown she had was needed for Zuko and Azula to beat her
@@e-davidi.7354 I will have to disagree with you, Katara went with Zuko because Dey both knew Azula was not someone u can go on a one on one battle, they both knew how powerful she was, and again Zuko knew she going through an emotional breakdown, she was “slipping away” Zuko saw a weak spot and took advantage of it, Do not forget her best friends betrayed her mai and tai lee, really got her messed up..
@@marceloasensiofilho3833 What does Azula not appearing in Book 1 even have to do with what I said?? I'm simply pointing out how Zukor and Katara have improved compared to Book 1 or the beginning of Book 2.
Metalbending can actually be quite advantageous against lightning benders. If you lightning bend whilst there's metal attached to you, you just fry yourself. I don't doubt for a second that that's how republic city police handles lightning bending. Azula's lightning bending isn't that good of an argument for her. To the contrary, lightning bending removes her biggest advantage, her speed. If azula tries to bend lightning, within one half of a second she'd be restrained and unable to firebend. Her lightning bending simply is too slow. Azula can't block Kuvira's attacks, Kuvira can. But Azula's agility will more than suffice. But then we get in the technical side. Azula's blue fire should just burn everyone who gets too close, including her. For some reason, heat doesn't seem to exist.
And metalbending have the potential to be incredibly dark too. There are things than can be done that just aren't shown. Like how a bloodbender could just kill someone in less than a second, or how an airbender can suffocate someone's lungs... oh wait. Metalbenders can just use small pieces of metal and yeet them at someone in a cloud. An earth, water or airbender could block this, so it's obviously not the greatest strategy, but who can't block that? Firebenders. If you throw 20ft of murder cloud at someone it doesn't really matter how agile you are. This is never done in the show, and is just a bad idea, but think about it, why would Kuvira do that? She doesn't want Azula to survive. It's not like she can stop it or throw it all back like a metalbender could. Azula's lightning bender would be completely useless as it would just make her electrocute the area she's standing in, and being cut open by thousands of small nails. It's a bad strategy nearly anywhere else, but in this scenario it really works. Earthbending tends to be slow, yet Kuvira's metalbending is one of the quickest attacks we see. You can cover large areas with murder cloud so that's it for dodgeabillity and you don't have to worry about lightning bending or your opponent blocking or redirecting your hits.
Yeah azula would probably win if they have a match up. Azula is a prodigy and she was born lucky 😂😂😂
Lmaooo and zuko was lucky to be born the funniest and saddest scene in the show😂😂
1:58 I know that video is not analysis of agni-kai but i just coulnd't help it... he really just said Zuko would die if it weren't for Katara!? Zuko would have won if Katara wouldn't go full braindead mode just standing on the open... he sacrificed himself, not getting overpowered by Azula :/
Well we need to acknowledge the fact that azula hasn’t seen metal bending
I may be the only one but I’ve always wanted a game where u can play as these 2 and fight against each other or fight them at least
I mean Azula was defeated by a metal chain 💀
At her weakest
@@ja711rich8 Azula actually loses alot, and in many different ways Lmao
i mean we're talking about S2 azula
my girl you burned azula to the crisp with one line, i also think kuvira wins this one
