While the world of Avatar: the Last Airbender and The Legend of Korrahas fun ways to use elemental bending (e.g. air scooter), it also features some quite frightening bending abilities. The waterbender Hama introduced Katara to what would become an outlawed practice throughout the world: bloodbending. While she did her best to make it illegal, we have seen an evolved version of the art in the first season of The Legend of Korra, with Amon, who could take away bending through bloodbending.
Another horrifying practice has been seen through the newly awoken airbender Zaheer. Unlike Air Nomads who preach non-violence, Zaheer, the third season’s main antagonist and anarchists the Red Lotus, spread chaos wherever they went. His most notable airbending discovery besides flight, was the ability to take someone’s air from their lungs. This is how he tried to destroy the Earth Kingdom’s monarchy when he attacked the queen.
While bloodbending, and Zaheer’s use of airbending are terrifying arts, there is one forbidden earthbending technique that is even more frightening: bonebending. The secret art has been kept buried way before Aang’s time, but might have been used under noses all along. In today’s video I will discuss the tragic origins of bonebending, how the Earth Kingdom kept it a secret, the possibilities of the technique, and how Toph Beifong has been using it since she left the Metalbending Police Force to roam the world.

The first person that close to bone-bending is King Bumi. He went from hunchback to a fully grown muscular man in a matter in seconds.
Oh yea forgot that wow
He's crazy so ye'd probs do it only to himself. No one else...
Oh yeah your not wrong that is creepy
That would be more of muscle or tissue than bone
Facts
No, the forbidden earthbending technique is when two earthbenders each stand on a boulder and then lift each other's boulder with earthbending, thereby ascending into the stratosphere.
Pfffft
Cool
You don't need two to do that tho
Can earthbending use shockwave?like in the Lego Ninjago movie
*Pikachu surprised face*
@@thomasthetrain8961 or better yet could earth benders control magnetic pulses or EMP's
Bone-bending could potentially amount to a form of healing for Earthbenders, like for helping bones/joints heal or re-aligning broken bones from severe fractures.
As earth benders chucking rocks at each ither all the time they pribably need it
what about obsidian bending like if a lava bender fights a air bender and they kool the lava then its obsidian and its still earth and lava but in a frozen state so could they bend it
@@oblivion6891 Lava benders basically have control over the temp of the "earth" materials. You can see that when Zaheer breaks Gazong out of prison. He just threw him a few rocks and then he turned them into lava, so lava changing back to its solid form isn't a concern since they control the temp anyway.
@@user2435 Lava bending is definitely one of the most broken techniques
@@user2435 True bro so damn true, Ok imma say it earthbender is the most powerful bending their is along with water bending, Airbending isn't good but isn't so bad either cuz you have enhanced speed and endurance, If you are skilled enough you can entire the spirit world and use astral projection like jinora but fire bending is for me really except for lighting bending but it can also kill you. So yes earth bending and water bending dominates
As King Bumi said: you’ve got to open your eyes to the possibilities! This is why Bumi and Toph are both respected masters in their own right.
King bumi was actually really strong and he cracked his back before a fight with aang. He probably had control over his bones too
Is there is also the fact when aang chose bumi as an opponent. King Bumi cracked his body in place before he rushed in/
Not surprised at all. Bumi could even be childhood friends with the lion turtles. That's how old he is. 😂
It makes sense he made sure to keep his bones togheder and strong enough to perform strong earth bending at his age.
@@voidvoid6662 there was actually an earthbender that made himself immortal using earthbending in kyoshi's era...not sure whether it was true or not
The only thing that seems to not match up for me in this theory is that toph did actually complain about bad back pain.
I think you’re forgetting to consider the way ancient earth bending techniques that we saw from King Bumi only subtly in ATLA also incorporates bone bending. If you read the Kyoshi novels you should know there’s also Lao Ge who teaches Kyoshi about the ancient earth bending techniques that basically lead to immortality. It involves remaining completely stagnant in growth, like the earth. The results of this are physically evident as you basically don’t age by paying attention to the way your body and bones decay, and then bend them back in places that help extend your lifespan by many years. Mentally you must also remain stagnant, which is probably why Bumi was always so childish. Kyoshi was able to live for 230 years practicing this technique and who knows how much Bumi was able to do with it but at the end of ATLA he was 112. This is mega OP.
That's some neutral jing!
@@zacharygoldrich3459 neutral jing = best jing
With this much content hidden away, i still don't get why Avatar still doesn't have more prequel and sequel stories animated by now featuring novel stories like this.
They are working on it
Could an earthbender be able to bend another person's bones?
In the Kyoshi novels there is a legend of an earthbending technique where you keep yourself young forever by earthbending the microscopic elements in your body. It’s actually how Keyoshi was able to live for 200+ years
Cool. Toph should have used it.
@@avatar5023 She probably used a self taught version, that's how she lived so long and retained a lot of her physicality (but not her youth).
@@Vanlifecrisis I suppose that would make sense because there's nobody around to teach it anymore. So she had to learn on her own. But probably didn't get it 💯 percent right resulting in her still looking old while staying fit.
Uh. Kyoshi waterbends heals herself too.
@@marcoafa1 that only applies to injuries, Not immortality.
Toph: "I opened up a police department, and now am overseeing the populace so that no one breaks the rules"
Also Toph: "Forbidden arts? I ain't Katara"
"overseeing"
Me: you cant break the rules toph
Toph: says who?
@@dennisjohnson1809 Toph: I am the rules
@@crypticcorgi8280 took me a second😭😭😭
I'm surprised you didn't mention the line "are you telling me you can't feel metal inside your own body?"
Toph 1000% understood the calcium in her bones and would have applied bonebending to mend them.
just because she could feel the metal that was inside her (in pretty high concentration) does not mean that she could feel the metallical element of calcium in her bones (wich exists in a pretty low concentration).
Now I wonder if bone bending could also be used similar to force crush where an earth bender could sense the calcium in another body and then force it in on itself
@@user-os6fx6mu1e blood contains iron so technically the earthbenders could blood bend
@@Scp-qz3dp yeah, but in extremely low density so it shouldn't be bendable. If we don't consider this, then water benders would be able to bend almost anything, considering water is literally almost everywhere as a molecule.
@@maheshmestry5371 calcium =/= iron
It’s amazing how after all these years, we’re still talking about and discovering new theories about ATLA
I like this idea. I also love the possibility of teaching water benders techniques of blood bending for the sole purpose of non-invasive surgeries. Like sure, many things could be healed with the usual water techniques, but should a person develop a tumor or should there be complications while giving birth or some similar event, doesn't it make sense to use the blood to create tiny ice blades, cut the tissue in question from within without damagung any other area, then passing it out by let's say moving it (via blood bending by literally grabbing the chunk of tissue) out by passing it in stool or something, or assisting in the birth by literally dragging the baby out from the uterus? I can see the modern era Avatar world having stuff like bloodbending and bonebending medical licenses.
Honestly one of the best ways to see how this plays out even if a different system is from the Codex Alera series, and it's Furie crafting. Water Crafters and Water Benders have so much in common in abilities and how they work.
next avatar will be a modern day unorthodox surgeon lol
Poopbending sounds like an incredibly terrifying ability.
It would be easier to just control bleeding and blood flow. Of course, they’d have to have a modern level of medical understanding to know what helps and what doesn’t.
lol and how exactly what they see the shape of the tumor? Or what needs to be cut? Or what parts shouldn’t be cut? They might be able to visualize the element inside the body. But they can’t visualize all the other parts.
If a bonebender is creating more bones in their body, then i feel like this implies that they are creating material, such earthbenders can’t do
I think it’s more like they use bonebending to speed up the process the body uses to make bones and then manipulate the physical form of them
@@nikolimoon6165facts
Maybe they could like... eat food high in calcium and such and convert that into bone over time?
@@firepuppies4086 yea, that’s what they do, they drink lots of milk and/or eat high-calcium foods, then use bone-bending to move that calcium to their bones, it was explained in another guy’s video, bone-bending was only ever in the comics, if I’m remembering right
They could take calcium from one area and move it to another the way stags grow their antlers only faster, so some bones would be weakened while others strengthened. On a longer timescale, they could just eat chalk and build up their total calcium, hardening their bones and teeth. They’d have to be careful because excess calcium can give you kidney stones, and they might not realize the reason for their pain was a stone.
tbh bonebending sounds like a double edged sword. It can be lethal while also being used to mend broken bones I guess
You're right-I don't see water being able to heal broken big bones like a spine or a broken arm, but you might be able to with bone-bending.
But it should be used by professional healers only, considering if it isn't used right, it could be very painful.
Its like using a voodoo doll but on real human
@@astrouphel water could I guess but be much slower as bones dont have that much water vs other tissue like organs and skin. Bonebending could be better in this case.
thats not what a double edged sword is but its a nice idea
@@ruthlessanimations6866 I mean both good and bad at the same time. Like how E=MC2 gave us both the atomic bomb vs almost infinite source of energy
Has anyone noticed how Bumi turn from a hunchback old man into the strong build earthbender warrior?
Bumi may have rediscovered it, but realized that it was a forbidden technique and just let it be, using only when needed
Im pretty sure he was just acting as a hunchback old man to trick Aang, because he never looks like that again
Good point. the answer was right in front of us of the Forbidden technique and we didn't even notice it.
Yep
@@en4833 i have to agree....bonebending sounds too fandom-ish to be real
Next, the forbidden fire subset, using lightning bending to control the neurons in someones brain. When used on yourself you could increase your thought capacity, when using it on someone else, you could quite literally make them unable to think.
Edit: or cause a seisure.
Edit 2: Guys this was a joke. I don't actually think this is possible.
It wouldn’t even be possible, water benders need a full moon to boost their bending and it takes a prodigy water bender. Not to mention blood is nearly 100% water and it still takes so many requirements to make blood bending work. Or for air suffocation, every time it was used, it was against someone who’s couldn’t fight back. The Earth queen was a frail older woman who couldn’t bend and Korra was being poisoned and had been beaten down.
All these other bending styles like bone bending and electrical manipulation wouldn’t happen.
@@boshlovely2002 1. My comment was a joke.
2. Blood bending does always require a full moon (3 known blood benders can do it with out one)
3. The rest of those requirements can be met to use bone bending and brain bending (just to keep the bs)
@@skipper8745
1. Fair enough
2. All 3 of those blood benders are biologically related to each other, we have no clue if they’re genetically inclined to blood bending or if it is something that just doesn’t need the moon
3. Blood is nearly 100% water, nothing else in the human body comes even close to being made that purely of any other element so it just wouldn’t work
@@boshlovely2002 synapses are pure electricity.
And "earth" is such a loose term. We have seen coal bending. Why not other minerals such as calcium.
Or make them much smarter or stupider. Or make them stop talking or talk nonstop.
Waterbenders can Bloodbend.
Earthbenders can Bonebend.
Airbenders can probably Breathbend.
Firebenders? Well, they can craft electricity, right?
Brainbending. Neurological synapses bended just the right way to affect the brain.
4 very terrifying b's
Earth benders can’t bend organic compounds such as calcium carbonate, airbenders can bend the air to a certain extent as we have seen, and no fire benders can only craft lighting from their finger tips they can’t manipulate it after it has been fired and they especially can’t control the impulses in the brain, because they have no control there and they don’t have any control on the chemical side either
i’d go on a limb an say that fire benders..master fire benders can Heat bend..remember sozin an roku an the volcano.. they were legit removing the heat from molten magma an lava instantly.. you remove the heat from a human an they’re finished!
well, fire it's already terrifying by itself. that's why we have firefighters and not waterfighters, earthfighters, and airfighters. the idea of using fire during a fight it's already to make your opponent burn alive.
Airbenders CAN breath bend. Spoilers:
Zaheer does it as an attack
Lol, probably? Zaheer already did it in korra season 3. And we never saw earthbender bonebending of other human.
You talked about toph being still active and op at her old age, but you could have mentioned kyoshi and how she lengthen her life to 230years so maybe toph had been doing the safe thing rebuilding the dying parts of her body
There actually is a technique that earthbenders can use to live longer confirmed that has been used by both kyoshi and bumi, and i think it has to do with putting their inner organsback in place while getting older but who knows
@@no.one_lol2055 omg that is so cool thanks for that insight, I never thought about those two putting their organs back in place before that is really interesting
@@jamie4905 Nothimg to thank me about bro
how dose your life incress with more calsium ?
@@Progamerr_06 it doesn't it makes ur bones stronger or something so u wont get as much injures and u will be more flexible and u know...
I'm pretty sure the reason Toph was so spry in her old age compared to Korra was because 1: Korra still had residual mercury poisoning, and 2: people in Avatar age with a lot of grace. Bumi was over 100 and he was incredibly spry, and there was Monk Gyatso's friend who was pushing 150 thanks to his diet of banana onion juice.
I think I read somewhere that benders actually live longer, and also thats why they can take hits unlike non bender
Wait, Bumi is
Oh wait, Bumi one.
I think Bumi might also have been bone bending? Remember how he moved from hunchbacked old man, to floor 63 boss monster?
Not to mention Gyatso himself was friends with Roku. There was probably only about a 10 year gap between the two, so I'd say Gyatso looked good for a man nearing his 90s
Quick, minor correction: It was Guru Patik that had a diet of onion and banana juice - Monk Gyatso died during the Fire nation invasion.
I was wondering - when Aang learns to open his chakras, guru teaches him about seven chakras - four for Water, Earth, Fire and Air and also chakras of Sound, Light and Mind. Can it mean, that there's theoretically possible to have soundbendind, lightbending and mindbending, but for some reason nobody did
That would be sick
Mind bending might be a form of lightning bending by altering electrical signals in the brain. So mind bending might quite be possible
@@jja1232 it would require way too accurate manipulations. Seeing how hard it is to bloodbend, even though there's plenty of water in the human body. Also since Avatar franchise has spirits and all that stuff, people probably have soul instead of our-type nervous system
bro like what i don't that's what it is like those are just some chakra like it means what it means like opening the mind charkra means clearing your mind or having peace of mind and like sound is about listening to your surroundings and stuff and light's meaning is really hard to put in words and like have you seen any of those chinese body chakra thing it's like those
@@Canlass I know, but in Avatar bending is connected with all this spiritual stuff, so it won't be surprising. Also, since all bending was derived from energy bending, and energy is literally everywhere, technically one can be everything bender
What if fire benders had a forbidden form where they could take the body warmth from you? And what would happen if an avatar learned all these forms like bloodbending and bone bending ect
Technically the water benders should be able to do that since they could change the states of water, but with fire I think maybe using the electricity bending to control nerve signals
@@harrisonsparks850 yes waterbenders can lower body temperature. It’s canon on The Shadow Of Kyoshi
The fan series The Legend of Genji has the avatar as a sandbender, just wanted to include it in
Ignite the air in the lungs, internal combustion.
I mean Sozin kinda did control heat from the volcano to temporarily stop it before leaving Ruko to die so maybe it is possible and since Fire must come from breathe (as Uncle Iroh say) and muscle (which leaves Zuko tiring himself during his early training), i dare say it is possible. When we breathe it's warm so imagine a firebender suddenly enhances said warmth, maybe it can cause the body temperature rise so high in short amount of time, might cause heat stroke? Or they can "remove" the heat from the body
Use me as "I am an avatar addict" button.

@@God-gi9iu wow God would never do anyone like that
Not a single mention of Kyoshi and her advanced age...
I was just about to mention that
Yeah.
It was a typo but they just ended up going with it
but what about the organs? It is not just the bones
...healing powers by water maybe
That actually sheds some light onto why King Bumi was in such good shape at an advanced age.
Actually toph can easily bend the iron out of the blood, quickly killing the person. In atla comics toph mentions to the gaang that she was able to tell people's ethic origins by the amount of iron in their blood. Fire nation has the most iron due to red meats, earth kingdom has more minerals due to a wider range of foods and spices, water tribe has more oil and salt in their blood due to the seal meat and Jerry and air benders have rare rocks used to tattoo their arrows. This is how toph can see the movements of bodies and why she knew aang had tattoos while swimming. She is also never seen asking if someone was earth kingdom. Actually, in many comics toph lives in the first fire nation Colonie in the earth kingdom, with many earth kingdom, fire nation and even water tribe people living together and she can easily tell which is which. She even points out to aangs fan club that they aren't air benders and that two are earth kingdom while one has a fire nation parent. This surprises everyone as no one realized her sense was that sharp. She could easily pull the iron and minerals out of the body like tiny metal marbles. We even see her fixing engines and explaining how she can sense the earth in everyone all the time. This is why she is seen abandoning city life, this is why she could sense people using the trees and it's why she was able to easily feel the mercury in korras body. She can feel tattoos, piercings, rooted teeth and even when someone is pregnant.
The line to Korra "You're blind compared to me!" Always cracked me up lol
There should definitely be an R-Rated season of Avatar that goes into more forbidden & morbid stuff like this
czcams.com/video/pq-Qs-n6Vek/video.html :)
no
If Netflix can get the live action avatar show right maybe they’ll include stuff like bone bending and other dark bending techniques.
R rated will just fuck everything up just no
@@Flome810 It doesn’t have to
4:43 Spiritual Earthbenders seem to have a thing for long lives; Avatar Kyoshi lived to over 400 years, and Toph is still in her prime. I would LOVE To see toph teach the next avatar how to REALLY earthbend. Imagine her hobbling out of the swamps with a Meteoric Iron Cane, only to wipe the floor with a THIRD avatar.
Kyoshi live to 230 not over 400 years 😂😂😂
So Toph would pull a Yoda
She isn't in her prime though. She said how she could barely pull off the feats that she did that her back almost gave out and this is why her and katara leave the new events to the new generation.
@@ashaf3561 “don’t tell Korra but my back is killing me now...” 😂🤣
@@ashaf3561 hmm
i wonder if her and katara could actually heal some of the damages caused by age, both with toph applying metal and bone bending, and katara applying waterbedning healing, and blood bending...
if they acheived a harmony (yes, i know, i'm talking about toph and katara, but i'm sure they can work it out) they could in theory extend their lives yet further
In theory, earth bends and air nomads could blood bend to a certain extent, they could manipulate the iron/oxygen in the blood. I’d assume it wouldn’t be as effect a water benders ability to bloodbend bc of the percentage of water in a human body, but none the ness, would still have devastating results.
Earthbenders can’t bend pure metal and air benders can only bend air not oxygen or nitrogen in pure forms
I like it.
why yall seem to confuse oxygen and air
Oxygen is a pure element while air consists of a combination of several elements. Air comprises a mixture of several gases present in the atmosphere and oxygen is termed as one of the essential components present in the air but oxygen although generically called air does not contain air.
@@jessiokim4636 this person gets it lol
Oh my god some people just dont get it
OXYGEN IS DIFFERENT THAN AIR (kind of)
ALSO EARTHBENDERS CANT BEND PURE IRON THEY ONLY REASON THEY BEND METAL IS CAUSE IT HAS EARTH
The closest things to this in the real world would be Shaolin training, iron arm/leg/shirt training, as well as in modern day the use of supplements. Beyond that I would say much like how Quin Na is the real world martial art equivalent to blood bending, perhaps just like how fire benders copied the motions of water benders use of Tai Chi to create lightning bending, which I honestly assume is Wing Chun. But bone bending might be something like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Joo Di: there is no bone bending in Bah Sing Se... *creepy smile*
Nani

Imagine a bonebender in the dairy section of a store. All that milk is gonna fly off the shelves.
Lol
@@audrickvidal2402 I died laughing
If the milks fly, can they build a wall of cheese too?
@@dinisdin5331 You'll need a water bender to help with that, I think.
Thus making the earth bender a form of water bender aswell. We are breaching the borders Avatar style!
Earth is my favorite element, it's so diverse and big on defense. Love.
Earth bending has a lot of cool and different bending styles. In my opinion, Earth bending is better than all of the other elements.
It's worth mentioning that kimimaru was dying due a sickness related to his abilities and most likely Orochimarus experimentation were probably doing more harm than good. "Bonebending" would be more like gaara ripping the minerals out of someones body for use in a foul smelling gourd. Toph absolutely could have been using this skill or something very close to it, given her use of bending to assist with the day to day already.
I just thought of something, instead of snapping someone's bones probably making enemies, you could pop someone's bones like a chiropractor ceasing pain and maybe making some Friends
I wouldn't be surprised. Earth bending was based off of Hung Gar style kung fu apparently, and apparently bonesetting techniques (think ancient Chinese chiropractic) were taught to members of that clan. Some were even famous for their healing skills.
I wish someone would bonebend my back so I wouldn't have so much back pain.
Or cause their bones to grow out of their skin thus turning the unfortunate person a spiky pin cushion
@@ronjayrose9706 thats a horrible way to make friends
@Xergyo Salgado then you'd be a pretty good healer but you'd definitely have to explain why you learned blood bending in the first place
"How is she in such good shape for her age? She must be a bone bender of course." With a remark like that I'm literally questioning if you have ever even watched this show. OP old people is even a staple of the show easily even if you only include the living.
This exactly
Benders in general seem to live longer lives but earth benders in particular just have better vitality because of the way they live, Toph, Bumi, Kiyoshi all are natural earth benders and have long lives because of the inherent lifestyle that comes with being an earth bender not because they “bone bend”
Not to mention bone bending just isn’t possible, blood bending only works because the human body is basically almost completely water but then the water benders need the full moon to boost their bending ability to make it work and ofc only prodigious water benders can actually do it. Which means bone bending can’t exist because 1. Calcium is basically nonexistent in our bodies compared to water 2. Earth benders don’t have a way to power up their bending like water benders can
I’m 100% this guy nvr watched the show and just profits off baseless theories
Wouldn't this make Earthbenders the best chiropractors to ever live?
fossil/skeketon bending actually sounds very cool and is Avatar's version of a form of necromancy.
I still think fire bending’s forbidden technique should be mixtapes
I think if firebenders could control the heat of a human body everyone would obey for their lives to not explode like a gas tank that caught on fire.
Chuckle
@@racingflash6292 yes just like a fire bender could control spontaneous human combustion (when a human randomly catches fire)
@@racingflash6292 That sounds like it could be the answer I am looking for
@@racingflash6292 or how about not heat, but electric impulses in the brain and nerves?
Considering that the fire benders can master lightning, I would consider that a possibility
King bumi openly did this and potentially kyoshi and she also discovered glass bending
OH YEAHHH TRUE!!! Even though, it's crystal clear no one seems to mention it!
One, I don't think King Bumi actually bone bended. I think he was acting as a hunchback to fool Aang as we never see him hunchback again. 2, Kyoshi lived so long to make up for the previous Avatar's short life span. So you are wrong on both accounts.
@@njannah97 heh
@@en4833 how are they wrong on both accounts? you cant say their wrong from what you "think" without providing actual evidence. and you didnt provide evidence on why kyoshi didnt invent glass bending
@@en4833 Kyoshi actually learned an earthbending substyle similar (but advanced) to the bonebending described here to live so long as taught to her by Lao Ge.
Excerpt from the wiki:
As aging was the result of the body deteriorating on "the smallest, most invisible levels" without repairing this damage, Lao Ge taught her that one could stop this process by keeping an inventory of one's parts and putting all things which had fallen out of order back into their places. Doing so would allow Kyoshi to reconstruct her body over and over again, allowing her to retain one particular appearance for centuries.
Basically she's using earthbending to put her body back to it's original place. It's the ultimate expression of earthbender stubbornness... being too stubborn to die.
You forgot to mention how Bumi in the beginning of The Last Airbender mysteriously grew taller for his battle with Ang, and we heard a bunch of cracks and pops in his spine. There is no reasonable explanation for this other than bone bending.
Lol yeah, it’s not like he was pretending to be feeble, by hunching his back and hiding his muscles. Or did you forget that he also “grew” muscles, in the same way that you claim he “grew” height. All he did was stand up straight
@@jamesbizs Thank you! I'm tired of seeing that claim.
Kimimaro is one of my favourit characters and the thought he could exist and fight in the Avatar universe is insane and I love it!
Blood bending was far from silent. Pretty sure I heard quite a few pops and breaks 🤢🤮
Am I wrong, or is it already cannon? That's literally how Avatar Kyoshi lived to ~230, by strengthening her body with earth bending when it started to fall apart (due to age).
I’m fairly sure in the Kyoshi novels it references it, although I believe it’s referenced as fleshbending. So there is a possibility it’s the same thing.
@5:11
Toph: "let me make some earth armor"
Internet" Why are your eyes uncovered?"
Toph "So I can see where I'm going"
Internet "But you were born blind"
Toph "..."
Internet: died from broken bones.
If an earthbender would master bonebending, it would be an incredibly effective way to heal bone injuries. Just imagine someone being able to bring broken bones perfectly back into their original position and fibrating the molecules within the bones so that the separated parts would instantly form one strong bone again.
I wonder if waterbenders can heal bone injuries like that.
Jet could've survived.

Welp going to grilbeys
i wish they would do a darker avatar series that introduced all of these darker bending elements for use of torture, bring in a huge all out war between the nations again
I think this is a really cool idea, like a avatar who was trying their hardest to be good but is persuaded by their enemies. Or an avatar who was raised by the bad guys and has to learn how to be morally good. It might change the lore so it’ll be quite difficult but as long as they don’t do that and they don’t nerf or op characters and have good storytelling then I’d be fine with it.
@@G3NTOK1 not necisarrilly that, but just a darker series, a new war where we see a ton of benders using more tortuing bending arts, we see more evil bending styles that are supposed to be outlawed like bloodbending.
@@autograph415 It wouldn't surprise me if the SWT had a small but elite bloodbending special forces unit by LOK.
For this hypothetical series can have bloodbenders, bonebenders, breathbenders, and for Fire we can have brainbenders, manipulating electrical impulses in someone's brain to control them. And if the Avatar of that time decides they have to learn and use all four of these techniques....
@@bkjeong4302 exactly
I had this idea for years and am glad to see someone finally brought it up
Its a nice theory but it would never work minerals and iron in the body doesnt have earth sand or rocks
But after thinking this for some time i came up with a new subbending
The forbidden waterbending technique........ (Hama mode)I felt the full moon enriching me with its energy as i was trying to come up with new ways of waterbending
When a thought occured in my head..if i can bloodbend and control where it goes along with the inner stuff inside the blood itself
Then i understand the new forbidden waterbending subbending called
Cellbending...
Controlling the cells in another body, making them not do their jobs therefore the body not working properly against diseases or just collapsing the body and burst the limbs using the cells...
I was just wondering... Can a bloodbender bend any other element "through" other person?
If Katara bloodbend Zuko, could katara firebend? Or just enhance Zuko's moves somehow?
No definitely not, bending comes from the mind and spirit not just the body, katara blood bending zuko would be able to use the hand gestures and movements of fire bending but zuko is still aware of what she’s doing and can choose not to bend, also his spirit prevents her from doing so
Maybe with extreme skill... Consider Amon's technique and dial that up to 11
No. A person can't bend when being blood bended.
Let's think about the firebending, they technically can control even the lightning, so what If they could even control the electrical impulse from the brain?
Sh#t. That means all The elements have a deadly bending technique. (Thank Goddess the fire nation didn't know about this stuff during the hundred year war.)
Something as complex as mind control? I doubt it. Something like causing memory loss or amnesia? Most definitely.
And thus I bring forth: Haumea and the rest of people who can extend fire manipulation to unexpected ways in Fire Force
Great theory! However, due to the way fire benders use the lightning technique, it more likely one would use it to to force deadly seizures by unbalancing the electrons in ones brain causing an "electron storm"in your victims nerve system. Or it could just fry the person from the inside like a Human tazer or an Electric chair, these theories work best if one uses the lightning technique while the oppnent is in close contact with the fire bender.
This would mean they could also stop the electrical pulse in the heart. And kill someone that way
Fire benders: Thermal Bending: literally having the power to raise someone's body temp or cool it rapidly
I had the idea of galvanized bending which is sending electric shocks throughout the body to make it move because human muscles react to electricity
@@octoinkorporated8283 I would call that
Pulse bending
Or
Nerve bending
@@yonomixatuyagieno6437 ok that’s cooler
That's true. they could essentially boil someone alive.
That’s wound’t be possible what part of the human body is fire?😂
Heat bending is probably something firebenders can do
I wanted to see which one would be more powerful, Bonebending or Bloodbending:
QUICK NOTE: My definition of "powerful" in this case is which one can you access easily, and what can you do with it
If you were to use Bonebending, it wouldn't be as powerful as Bloodbending, since bones aren't everywhere in the body and not everything can have bones to bend, and not everything has blood to bend, but it would be more useful if you just want to throw someone away, stop them so they don't do something (pushing them away or kind of holding them in place) which is usually why someone would use Bonebending or Bloodbending.
Bloodbending makes you do more specific things. But you can only Bloodbend if there is a full moon, unless you're Yakone or one of Yakone's children, whereas Bonebending, you can do it whenever.
There are more Earthbenders than Waterbenders (assumed from the map shown at the beginning) so there would probably be more Earthbenders that may know how to Bonebend than Waterbenders that know how to Bloodbend.
In my conclusion, I think Bonebending is more powerful than Bloodbending because you can access it whenever, but Bloodbending can make you powerful (which I'm assuming someone will do on a full moon) which will make the Waterbender very powerful.
If there is anything wrong, please tell me lol!
at the beginning we all thought fire bending was crazy
Here's a non canon very dark forbidden fire bending technique controlling the heat of the human body only to make it go pop.

Can Firebenders bend light? Like shoot lasers, bend the light around themselves to become invisible, create plasma from concentrated sources of fuel, etc? Could be neat. We already got forehead boom boom man
Light is energy fire benders make matter out of their chi not energy. So bending light wouldn’t be possible, same with lasers, also the only form of plasma they can create is lightning
@@neofelisnebulosa3871 idk, I know that’s where they THINK their bending comes from. This is basically a culture in the late medieval age and they would have no idea of understanding the science behind their bending. I’ll explain my hypothesis quickly with a few examples provided by the show:
1: Firebenders have next to no power, if any at all, during the night. During the day, or when the light is at its brightest, their fire bending is at its most powerful.
2: Boom-boom man shot lasers out of his forehead, suggesting that Firebenders, can, in fact, bend light (to an extent).
3: waterbenders seem to be the counter to this, as their bending appears to come from the darkness. The darker it is, the more powerful their bending. I know the moon has something to do with it, which may also suggest that their power may have something to do with magnetic forces (think tides during different stages of the moon in coastal areas).
4: Sozan’s comet put off a lot of light (or ultra-violet radiation) directly into earths atmosphere. This could explain the spike in the power of the Firebenders at the end of season 3.
Idk, I just think science is a cool way to explain magical powers and it’d be neat (to me, at least) if it was correct.
I always wondered what other bending the earth benders could do. It cool seeing how far they can push there bending earth bending seems to have more styles than the other elements.
Imagine this but to the extent earth benders could utilize entire skeletons. Mixed in with a bit of spiritual activity (similar to spirit bending with water bending) earth benders could reanimate skeletons to do their bidding.
Yeah, basically create an army of zombies.
Waterbenders: They can strip the fluid and electrolytes from your body without you knowing cause no you to progressively die and your skin to fall right off your bones.
Earthbenders: Imagine all your bones being ripped out of your body Final Destination style.
Airbenders: Immediate lung collapsement and stripping the body of Oxygen.
Firebenders: They can disrupt the electrical conduction of the heart, immediately killing you in seconds.
it does seem like, again, the wielder is the determination of ill or good intent. I imagine that blood and bone bending could be used to for healing purposes, and drawing air out of someone's lungs, could also theorize they could force an airflow through the individual ensuring they get steady oxygen.
Bone bending might appear in 3rd series! And in 4th series of Avatar they may include "temperature bending" to remove heat from a person's body & kill!
When you thought that you were first but then you refresh
Which one?

@@rogalfox3620 what's this?!
45 and also another number
Also I am fourth to respond to your comment
And I think I was 164th comment on main comment line count thingy
If i had a dollar for every time i hear comments like this
U should've included bumi bc he literally bended his back bone
No, he was just acting as a hunchback to fool Aang I think
I often feel like its more like the states of elements, earthbenders for solids, eaterbenders for liquids, airbenders for gases, firebenders for plasma, that probably makes non-benders voidbenders, or predicts a new bender which we might call energybender or something like that
What a fascinating curve of knowledge this is. I would never of guessed.
Fire : Mind Bending
Water : Blood Bending
Earth : Bone Bending
Air : Lung Bending
Mind binding no it would be for fire taking the heat from there body
That would implicate tremendous prowess in lightning bending as a fire bender, how cOoOoL
@@veiw6300 I don’t remember any fire bender taking heat away from something, but perhaps it would be possible, with more water tribe and fire control inspiration. Also, waterbenders/bloodbenders could Theoretically freeze someone’s blood and airbenters cold also theoretically make the O2 in someone’s blood bubble up or create a vacuum around their target to cause multiple medical complications. Neat
@@felipefarias1315 This might be an example of a Firebender taking away heat from something: In one of Avatar Roku's flashbacks, during the volcano eruption on Roku's home island, Sozin helped out by seemingly taking heat away from a pool of lava cooling it down Quickly turning it into solid rock
@@kittyyuki1537 So it is possible, thank you
With bone bending everyone is a possible marionette, well everyone without a calcium deficiency.
Well, bloodbending does that too.
Earthbending and waterbending complements each other and you cannot change my mind.
Love the kimimaru fight scene. Haha one of my favorite animr fights
I'm so glad I'm learning more about metal, lava, sand and bone bending. Earthbending is my favorite bending technique in the show and I'm learning these new details of my favorite element in the entire show
you seem like the target audience for these people
Definitely
How about Sand Bending? They can bend glass~? :}
Yeah all of those are sub skills of earth bending except for bone bending, bones are made with calcium carbonate not pure calcium, so they can’t be earth bent. They can however bend glass
Theory: lava bending is true that is a sub element of earth bending but the way sozin can manipulate lava into rock because firebenders can control the temperature of the lave and take it awat making it rock and lavabenders can do it because they have the ability to change the lava into earth so technically a firebender can turn earth into lava but the only one who could have done this was azula since her firebending was 1000° hotter than normal fire , the way she would probably do is focusing her chi in the ground so can can turn into lava
I doubt that they would be able to bend it tho
So heat bending then?? DUUDDEE that would be such a big thing. Imagine being able to control heat. You could change the state of others elements of proficient enough. You could add or take away heat from someone body. I think this has much more potential than just changing tock into lava.
@@joshuapowers3270 fire bending is technically heat bending
@@evilhutdug4665 that's fair but I think when the lion turtle that gave wan his fire/heat bending the turtle said something along the lines of "gift of fire" or some shit like that. Which Is why I saw heat bending as more of a sub bending. I totally agree with you though. Regardless I would like to see it on the scale in my previous post. Would be so cool if you could have such great control over heat to lower peoples' body temperature.
Water benders can already change the temp/state if water. Im also not convinced that Azula’s blue flame was because of temperature. Flame color demonstrated by the dragons in S3 was a plethora of colors independent of flame temperature. Meaning any color of light could be produced with fire bending. Which might make it closer to being able to produce illusions.
nobody remembers that when bumi "transforms" into his big form he uses bone bending on himself
if bonebending where a thing, it would require massive amounts of skill and concentration. bloodbending is bending something that is basically water, and requires a full moon and a master waterbender. the amount of what can be considered "earth" in our bones is so miniscule that it would either take so much mastery/concentration its impossible, or its so miniscule that it would have no effect.

did you know blood bending can destroy organs
a blood bender can literally make the veins in the body pop and kill the opponent
@@thedragonofthewest5789 if a bloodbender wanted to thay could freeze the opponents blood we have seen katara freeze water so she could freeze the water in the blood stopping the body immediately and death because body temperature will drop to zero and organs will get destroyed as long as bones

@@avatarsokka5646 well yeah and it would expand and you would literally explode
@@avatarsokka5646 SPOILER ALERT That actually happens in the novel The Shadow of Kyoshi!
random dad joke: Zaheer his version of bending is BREATHTAKING
My question is does fire benders have forbiden bending?
If yes , that would be temperature/ heat bending in somone else body from 37 °body temperature to like 121° like making them sick?
Bruh imagine pissing off a bone bender and he turns your spine into tooth picks
There is actually some support for this on The Rise of Kyoshi. Lao Ge/Tieguai the immortal. He told Kyoshi the secret to his immortality was to keep 'order' in one's body, which implied organizing small pieces of his body to repair damage. Although this could be achieved through meditation, it could also imply some high level of earthbending, considering Kyoshi lived for 230 years!
Probably how bumi lived so long and in great shape.
What would happen if an Earth bender or the Avatar used to be this bending against the powerful foe as a last resort?
they cant becuse the bending style is not canon
@@Progamerr_06 it's not cannon( at least not yet) but it is possible
I dont think bone bending would be more deadly than any other form of bending. In a serious fight it would come down to who can strike to kill the other fastest while controlling their body’s own base elements better than the opponent could command them.
@@tonyaleccia3867 I was thinking that, but in regards to who could strike faster, you would probably have to charge the ability up a long time before using it.
I never thought about bone bending. That's amazing. As a water bender could you technically destroy anything by pulling the water out of it essentially dehydrating it? Brick wall turns brittle for example. Then just push through it
Technically yeah Hama taught katara that water exists pretty much everywhere in plants, the air and even your own self such as sweat. So technically if they wanted a person could pull all of the water out of you but the show most likely never went there because of its rating
Avatar gets more and more disturbing the more fans speculate about the extremes of each bending style.

Fire Benders: We are the most powerful , we can mind bend.
Air Benders:We can take your breath away in a second
Benders:We can control someone's body , no we are the most powerful
Earth Benders:(slowly make a dead body walking) What were you all saying again??
honestly tho earth bending is probably the most powerful, not only is there metal bending, lava bending, and bone bending sub techniques but the traditional earth bending can be extremely deadly and strong.
@@mish2637 and my personal favorite, Molten metal bending.
Its combustion bending
@@mish2637 It's true
It is impressive how the only bending who doesn't get affected (along with the air bending) by the sun or the moon has so many forms on each own
It wouldn’t even be possible, water benders need a full moon to boost their bending and it takes a prodigy water bender. Not to mention blood is nearly 100% water and it still takes so many requirements to make blood bending work. Or for air suffocation, every time it was used, it was against someone who’s couldn’t fight back. The Earth queen was a frail older woman who couldn’t bend and Korra was being poisoned and had been beaten down.
All these other bending styles like bone bending and electrical manipulation wouldn’t happen.
Earth Benders can control meteors. A really powerful bender can really call a meteor.
The first time we see Toph was in the foggy swamp as a vision. Kind of poetic that that's where she decided to settle down, almost fateful.
Don't forget about King Boomy** when he fought Aang in Omashu when he straightened out his posture.
no he did not he was acting week so aang will chose him
If you rewatch the sequence you can see and hear his bones popping as he his "powering" up. I understand that he was faking being frail but he was definitely using his bending fix his posture.
I was looking for this comment 😭💯🖤
Each element's forbiden bending:
Water : blood bending
Air : oxygen bending
Earth : bond bending
Fire : calories bending?
Hint to what fire could be- lightning bending exists, how could it be refined?
can earthbenders bend gravity
can airbenders bend gravity
can avatar give non bending bending power with energybending
@@rashadel2005 Gravity has to do with Earth's mass, so in theory it would be an Earth Bender that could do so.
Hear me out:
Water bending used to dehydrate food. The Water tribes live in very cold areas which would limit the amount of exotic foods they could regularly consume, so an industry could be made which dehydrated fruits for sake of preservation and then imported them to the Water Tribes. Benders could then rehydrate the food whenever they wished to consume it. Stonks 📈
I have been talking about bone bending since avatar first came out. About damn time.
But if there was something like bone bending i think it would have been made illegal kinda like blood bending in Korra
Do you mean that Amon, for example, instead of being a waterbender, will be an earthbender? Perhaps logically, this would mean that Amon would be more dangerous, imagining that he would break the bones of his victims
What about lightning bending attacking the nervous system? This would give every element a terrifying subskill specific to the human body.
Oh true...the electric neurons in our bodies.
Yeah, if done right it could bd literal hypnotism
Brainbending to go with bloodbending, breath bending and bonebending.
It makes sense that each of the bending arts would have a subset designed to control and weaponize other human beings.
I would love to see some actual sources or references to support this actually cool idea
I cant believe you didnt mention the most obvious thing to use bone bending for...crushing and twisting an enemies bones inside their body...shoving a rib through their heart, crushing their skull into their brain, etc.
Bones are mostly Calcium so I assume need metal bending power.
Actually you should have mentioned King Boomie Angs genius friend from the past who most defiantly must have re-discovered bone bending because at his age (over 100) he still can take on a fully powered Avatar
at the time aang only knew air bending
I never thought about this
Please make a video of blood bending vs bone bending which is strong
