also probably because of her disability, that caused her to learn seismic sense which is ultimately the best skill to learn in a fight (being able to foresee the opponent's attack). the possibly only disadvantage is that it doesn't work when you're up against an airbender.
The comics actually showed a Toph vs Bumi fight. And they were both evenly matched. They even ended at a draw. So it is safe to say they are both strong earthbenders
jefferson cristobal nah, evenly matched seems appropriate. Bumi is past his prime, and at the time Toph hadn’t reached hers yet, certainly in her Prime Toph would be more capable than Bumi, but at that point, these two incredibly powerful earthbenders were equals. If you need an example just look at what Bumi was able to do by himself on the day of Black sun. All the Omashu resistance couldn’t do together in months what Bumi did himself in mere minutes.
Things about a strong bender: - Learn from Other elements - Learn the origins of the elements. - Adapt to the changes and oppositions. - Don't let the corruption of emotions get to you. (Anger and Rage in Fire for example)
Sokka is also Toph’s go to person and the closest out of everyone in the gang. Notice in the end of season 2 and throughout 3 she is always holding onto Sokka whenever the are away from earth , showing that she has learned to trust people and let them help her
If you think about it, it's actualy quite smart of her. The holes are not too far away from her nose so she can still breathe normally and given the fact she's blind, exposing her eyes posses no real threat to her. If her airway was to be directly exposed she would be risking severe injury. I'm not sure if they did that on purpose but I find it pretty cool anyway given how much I love Toph.
@@Quizzingisfun Korra was also slow and out of sync because of the residual metal left in her body after being poisoned. Even Toph that's why she was feeling the way she did
Fun fact: that space for her eyes in the rock armor was actually a mistake. They meant to have her just have a mouth hole to breath, but they animated it with an eye hole. It just slipped past production. Source: the art of the animated series book
Yes, she grew as a person because she learned friendship, that's what made her finally complete. She had people she really cared about and would do anything to protect, but also learned to trust that they in turn would do the same for her. She became more humbled. She was always with the mindset that she can do anything, but learned that there are things even she can't do, but that's okay, it doesn't make her weaker at all, in fact it makes her stronger knowing when to ask for help.
FireFist590 well I just mean like- It doesn’t change like liquid or something, which changes a lot based on containers or something else, meanwhile rocks are usually unchanging, unless of course they’re broken- but it’s not really changing the rock itself- just separating it It sounds kind of dumb but it’s what I think lol
Making Toph blind and have her be such a badass was a fantastic writing choice. It's so empowering honestly, and a great lesson so many of us so-called adults need to learn to this day, how we shouldn't judge someone for their disability, it doesn't mean they can't do amazing things.
She was already extremely powerful and skilled when we first met her. An example of that is when she held up the entire library of Wan Shi Tong when the spirit was taking it down. This is why we don't see the biggest of improvements in her, because there just wasn't too much to improve on anymore. We did get to see her invent metalbending, and improve on it in the comics.
Everyone is just like Toph, actually. Tough outside but deep, soft, and willing to grow inside. That's why she's one of the most loved and relatable characters in the whole Avatar story. And I think, no one will be against with it.
i really loved how meticulous and meaningful this analysis for toph's character and development throughout the whole series. this is wholesome, complete and comforting to watch and listen. honestly , there is so many lessons one can gain from this video. :')
I love the fact that her parents underestimated her power because she was blind, but then she turned out to be one of the strongest Earthbenders in the entire world and invented Metalbending!
I just realized toph is almost always Earth bending as she is almost always on earth or metal. Meaning she is using sise mic sense. Meaning she is always using an Earth bending technique.
If Toph and King Bumi has a rematch who would win the fight, since their last one got interrupted before the final battles of the Hundred Year War began?
I mean both amazing in there own way and it is really hard to who will in fight since their fighting style are so different. Bhumi have mastered traditional earthbending while toph made her own fighting style and she is also more creative in usage of earthbending
Ik everyone would say this “I luv Toph” but I luv her in a different way (this isn’t anything regarding to if I’m special or somehting, I’m just saying a lot of people probably say this) I feel like I get so happy whenever I seee Toph, people might say she is sassy and annoying but she has her own personality that makes her shine. She is funny, sarcastic, but sweet in the inside. A perfect person that should be in a team. Toph is so strong and I always just get happy when I see Toph and tbh Idk why I get so excited. It’s a feeling I never felt before bc I always have a specific reason I luv them but Toph she is special. I luv u Toph 😌
from the Kyoshi books, we get the info that a lot of powerful earth benders do have some level of seismic sense, Toph just took it to another level, being able not only sense something hitting the earth, but the tiniest vibrations in everything. Like her Beifong introduction said, girl can sense even ants. And seeing her in Korra jack it up even further to connecting to roots systems and seeing like half the world.
Toph is the best earthbender of all time, no question about it. She is very in touch with her element, being able to create a sub bending at the drop of a hat. She’s been shown to be able to hold her own against earthbenders and other benders alike. She is the GOAT.
Toph’s battles with the Dai Li are one of my favorite battles of her! It makes imagine what a great battled it would be if Kyoshi battled them one day as she’ll be disappointed with their corruption!
Toph she's just not rude, she's kind, I can feel her heart deep down in her heart. She's a she's a kind little girl, she's a great earth Bender. Her family is not loving her, her friends like her friends, they just like their family Toph her friends look like her family 😭😭😭
Although I love Toph she technically did not discover metal bending. She was the first person to execute it, but not to discover it. When aang met the guru to unblock all his chakras the guru said something along the lines of “Even metal is earth but purified” So technically the guru was the first to discover it, Toph was the first one to execute it.
If Toph was the Avatar, show would be like this Episode 1: Toph born and learns earthbending Episode 2: Toph learns firebending Episode 3: Toph learns airbending Episode 4: Toph learns waterbending Episode 5: Toph defeats Ozai and ends the war The end
This explanation really have some understandable and inspiring words even the one who spokes it I have some issues in understanding strong English words as I was not born using English as my first language the one who spokes it really helps me understand it CLEARER other than that I found this explanation very helpful about toph's information on how her life and journey affects and improves her strength, taking her strength to the more advanced level :D
Why do these words bring such a smile to my face? “What others may perceive as a weakness might actually be a strength. Her ability to win against stronger opponents stemming from her blindness.” I’ve heard these exact same words before. It hits very close to home.
i feel everyone forgets that the reason toph is so powerful and skilled with earth bending is because she learned from the best teachers. badgermoles.
Nobody forgets, at least not me
@@blender9596 i think they meant that it wasn’t mentioned in the video
Yes she learned the true original earthbending
Think it was mentioned in previous video.
also probably because of her disability, that caused her to learn seismic sense which is ultimately the best skill to learn in a fight (being able to foresee the opponent's attack). the possibly only disadvantage is that it doesn't work when you're up against an airbender.

FACTS!!!
Boomer Aang I know I am
Hey, we all gotta start from somewhere and from somewhere I meant beginner.
Aang was already an air bender master (hence the tattoos) by the start of the series.
Sokka became a master warrior, strategist and a backbender
Things about a strong bender:
- Learn from Other elements
- Learn the origins of the elements.
- Adapt to the changes and oppositions.
- Don't let the corruption of emotions get to you. (Anger and Rage in Fire for example)
That's why Aang and Zuko's Firebender turn to be more superiors in the few last episodes after they're learning from the dragons
You just described iroh
Only exception is azula’s hatted which made her flames blue, but... i guess that comes with a lot of disadvantages too
