    Specialized bending techniques are sub-skills that exist within each of the four bending arts, of which only skilled benders can take advantage. Each sub-skill requires a different level of mastery over the root element from which it is derived, as its practice often deviates from conventional bending. In some cases, the execution of a technique also requires an understanding of fundamental principles from other bending arts. The creation of a specialized bending technique can sometimes be traced to a specific time period or even an individual bender. This is often the case when the technique has emerged relatively recently and is still contained to a select group of skilled benders. In other cases, the technique may have emerged in the distant past and has become more or less synonymous with conventional bending, even if its practice is still not widespread due to, for example, the high skill level required.

    Honestly, I'm in love with how specialized bending techniques are accessible to fewer people in the ATLA universe and feel way harder and crankier. Take Metal/Blood bending for example. If you watch all the scenes with it, you may notice how it feels like benders are going thru much greater efforts to bend.

    • @PhailRaptor
      @PhailRaptor Před rokem +8

      It shifted in Korra with the idea that some people are just innately skilled in a particular technique for no obvious reason, compared to other techniques that were simply harder to learn than the standard. Blood bending without the Full Moon and Blast bending are the former, while Lightning Casting and Metal bending are the latter.
      Similar to how some people are just innately good at playing instruments and gain above average proficiency rather quickly, while other people can study and practice their whole lives and just be competent.

Take lightning generation for example, sure they can produce group of lightning worker who can generate lightning of 10 W/person/each 5 hour which is still painfull, but not deadly and they can never achive the powerfull potential such like Azula or Ozai lightning that can obliterated any non fire benders, breaking mountains (from what i've seen, lightning bender in LoK never seem to damage the environment to such degree like in the original Avatar).

      that was something I greatly appreciated. When Toph first invents metalbending she's clearly just forcing the metal to do what she wants-literally pushing, pulling, and tearing it apart. However by season 3 we see she is capable of some amount of metalbending without contact, like when they take control of the airship. Finally by the time of Korra metalbending becomes a form like any other and can be used as such. It feels like a really natural evolution.

      The difference is the difficulty the styles come with
      Literally every water bender is capable of at least basic ice bending; if you can bend water, you can bend ice, no exceptions
      Lava bending, however, has only been shown by a select few benders, most of whom were avatars.
      The difference between the two is the learning curve that comes with them, that’s the reason that lava bending is a “specialized technique” and ice bending is just bending

    • @froeloe
      @froeloe Před 3 lety +74

      @Jonathon Covarrubias Orozco icebending should be a separate sub-discipline of waterbending. The basic waterbending is bending liquid water, not solid/frozen water. Icebending comes easy to most waterbenders because almost all of them are born and live in the north or south pole, which are surrounded by ice. But if someone was born in the Foggy Swamp Tribe, i don’t think icebending would come easy to them. Or if a waterbender was born and lived in the Earth Kingdom, liquid waterbending would be the basic bending to learn. The structure of water is different from ice. So there has to be somehow a separate teaching technique to bend ice.
      Lava is liquid earth. In a way, ice is the opposite of lava. Ice is solid water. If it takes a different approach to bend lava, then it’s the same with ice. They’re conceptually opposites. Therefore, icebending should be a sub-discipline of waterbending, just as much as lavabending is to earthbending.

      Yeah, the potential is there, it just requires study of firebending heat generation forms like Iroh studied water bending redirection techniques to create lightning redirection. The bending forms are actually really malleable and have immense potential just needing intense study and knowledge of basic forms from all elements. It's what makes the Avatar so OP, they don't even have to try really, especially in the Avatar state. The drawback to that with it being so easy for the Avatar is that it doesn't push them to discover what more their bending could be since their's no real struggle to learn.

Even though they are blind they aren't blind they can see very well it's just not with what we call vision. The way they sound works is through vibrations and sounds that map out they surroundings. Thing with toph is she does nto have to screech she feels the vibrations through her feet and body.

    Ironically, Katara's attempts to make it illegal probably directly resulted in it's adoption by Yakone.

Or was it explained that Hama had taught more people?

      The main issue is, it would eventually resurface, though it is the main question as to whether or not it would end up with a person of bad intention is up to luck and fate. But with how it was discovered in the first place, it is far more likely that blood bending would go into the hands harboring horrid methods in acts of desperation. Would it have been better to teach it at an academy and regulate it for medical use? Yes, it would have... but bad experience with it already affected the judgment of its illegality. That and no one can think of everything in their entire lives, much less a few hours. Very much the same as seeing fire bending being seen as unable to heal. Or earth bending for that matter, seismic sense would be able to detect abnormalities as well.

      I believe it will resurface on it's own at one point in the future. Someone will rediscover it by himself/herself and reinvient the technic. I guess that making it illigal while only one person knew this technic even exists is to prevent panics in the future. Imagin someone rediscovers bloodbending without the laws related to it, the technic and knowladge died with the last person aware of it's existance. Someone starts controlling people, how the surroundings react? What do they do? How do you sentence this guy and on what crimes? The bloodbender can lie on how he's doing it and most chances the judge and law inforcements will believe it as there are no recordings of controlling person's body.
      Banning the practice of bloodbending prevents confusion and rediscovering of it in the future. Better write it all down while someone knows how it's done, what it takes to achieve it, knowing side effects for both the user and the victim and what to do in case it ever happens again. Most importently, having a potential to discover new good uses for the practice, like in the medical field.

    a couple of bending techniques not mentioned in the video
    Sand bending (used by natives of the Si Wong Desert, has a few interesting similarities style-wise to air/water bending and is used to propel themselves across the desert on wooden sailers)
    Plant bending (used by Huu to bend the water inside of seaweed in order to ensnare people, or even form the seaweed into a controllable humanoid mass around himself.)
    Ice bending (while being relatively commonplace in water bending, I still think it was deserving of a mention here since Katara used it in a few unique ways, such as slicing an ice pillar to launch discs of it at Pakku. Tonraq uses a couple of ice bending techniques that are very reminiscent of earth bending as well, such as riding a wave of ice pillars rising from the ground)

    Pretty sure the spirit bending worked on the spirit vines. Those vines came back, because the normal villagers emitted negative energy by asking Korra their press-related questions. This is hinted by Iroh as well, who talks about how ones energy affects spirits and can change their behavior. If it wasnt for that, the vines wouldve stayed calm, but Korra realised as the city was so full of the humans negative energy, bending the spirit vines would always be a temporary fix only.

    A bit late here, but there are other forms of bending.
    Plant bending where you bend the water in plants. This was demonstrated by Yu in the Foggy Swamp and Hama.
    Sand bending is actually a somewhat complicated form of Earth bending. It takes a lot of practice to be able to bend hundreds of thousands of grains of sand. It's a common technique amongst the desert tribes and Toph even did it in the finale, albeit only briefly.
    There was also Heat bending, although the only time in Avatar it was shown was in the episode "The Avatar and the Fire Lord", and it was used by Sozin to cool the lava.
    Lastly, there is Energy bending, where the user bends the energy within themselves and others. This was used by Aang when he took Ozai's bending away, and I believe Korra used it when she gave people their bending back.

Unfortunately, it is rare for anyone to be able to preform the technique, and it can only be done under the full moon, when a Water Bender's power is at it's peak. The only people who could do it without the need of the moon are Yakon, Amon, and Tarlaaq, and that was a hereditary trait.

    Bloodbending is very scary. It wasn't explored fully in the Avatar films.
    You could boil or freeze a person, extract the blood somehow 🤷🏾‍♂️ and even locate organisms or stuff in a person's body by feeling the vibrations in the individual's blood. A bloodbender should know if someone is lying too because they should be able to feel the blood around the heart or the heart's beat itself.
    Also the subskill of using SONAR (similar to Earthbending's Seismic skill) was never explored in any of the films, neither was echolocation and heating water. If one could freeze water, heating water should be child's play. 😁
    And subskills like swampbending and sandbending were not included in this video.
    Sandbending is very powerful. Yun became almost unbeatable because he could mould earth or sand to a fluid-like state or even use it as explosives.

    Some cool sub-bendings could be:
    Magnet bending for fire benders since they can already control charges or earth benders that use earth’s magnetic field
    Mind control/induced seizures for fire benders by controlling our electrical neural pathways
    Gravity bending for earth benders by creating an extremely dense area of rock
    Nuclear bending by earth benders that can earth bend radioactive elements or even create atomic fusion

    @JAM_FRIO Před 3 lety +1

    My thoughts on potential sub bendings
    Light bending (electromagnetic wave bending)-
    Can manipulate brightness of surroundings. A very very advance form of fire bending. Anyone cant get it just by natural talent alone. Talent plus rigorous studying and understanding of electromagnetic waves are the two factors for anyone to learn light bending. The most advance form would be able to create illusions. But this is super rare only achieved by the most exceptional.
    Sound bending- An advance form of air bending. One can manipulate air to produce sounds. But only the talented ones can be able to mimic other sounds, even human ones.
    Heat bending- can control temperature of the environment or an object. A subset of maybe achieved only by the avatar. Controlling the vibration of molecules of any thing

      Blood bending can be used as a type of surgery, bending lost blood back into a bleeding person or forcing open wounds to close.
      It can also be used to reattach removed fingers/limbs by water-bending the muscles and skin to reconnect which then can also be used with regular water-healing, to seal the flesh back together.

Going to your point of Korra, spirit bending wasn't something all that familiar either, and she was only aware of it in the context of controling rogue spirits, so she didn't look to see if it would be applicable to the vines even though they weren't doing anything harmful.

    I would have mentioned Sand bending and Steam/heat bending as well. We saw that the sand benders were a unique culture within the Earth Nation. I can't recall if they ever mentioned whether or not the average earth bender could bend sand without much difficulty or if it was a specialized skill that took extra practice to learn.
    As for steam/heat bending I can only recall seeing it once. That was when Fire Lord Sozin used it to bend and redirect the steam/heat from the volcano when he was helping Roku. They basically helped to dry up some of the lava by using a technique similar to lightning redirection, decades before Iroh invented the technique for lightning.
    Another honourable mention could be mud and swamp bending. Mud bending seems like it can be done by both earth and water benders as we see with Katara and Toph's mud fight during the Aang earth training episode. Earth bending can bend it by utilising the Earth within the water that makes it mud. Water benders meanwhile bend the dirty water of the mud.
    Swamp bending is a unique waterbending technique we saw with the swamp men, where they bended the water inside plantlife in order to basically bend vines and other swamp flora. Remember too they can literally create a swamp monster by bending multiple vines.

I do think that wood bending is a perfect spiritual art form of earth bending where it csn only be done by manipulating the resonant spirit inside of inanimate objects and what's grown naturally by mother earth. In the shkwz earth bending is never shown to really have any spiritual side as a foil to air bending but I don't think that's fair to the art as well.

      zen s in buddhism it’s not really a heaven or hell, just different realms that life can be reincarnated into depending on their karma.

    I was gonna say Combustion Bending is too op when the bender can 'redirect' and curve the energy. But then went 'Nah' when i found out it comes with huge consequences by the smallest mishap.

    Really good video, would be cool if some wind bender had like a "void" power where they could create black holes or something

      Theoretically, that could be a power of any bender. Though something like this seems more applicable to earth bending, evidenced by how ang turns those giant boulders into those hyper dense pebbles for his fight with ozi.
