Finding himself on a strange island, Aang is reluctant to actually kill Fire Lord Ozai, despite his four previous past lives ( Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk, and Yangchen) convincing him it is the only way.īut upon learning that he was actually on the back of a Lion Turtle, one of four that made the first benders by manipulating humans' chi, Aang receives the Lion Turtles' Energybending.
After the fall of Ba Sing Se and the failure in the Day of The Black Sun, Zuko, Aang's former enemy, became his firebending teacher and after a lot of training, Aang became a firebending master a few days before his battle with Fire Lord Ozai. With Katara and Toph teaching him all the time he became a great master of earthbending and waterbending. In a search for an earthbending teacher, Aang met his earthbending teacher Toph Beifong. After the Seige of the Tribe, Katara became his waterbending master again. When the three of them arrived at the Northern Water Tribe Aang's teacher became master Pakku. Later Katara became Aang's waterbending teacher despite the fact that he was originally quite better than her. 100 years later, he is discovered by two Water Tribe residents, Katara, and Sokka. Unconsciously entering the Avatar state, he water-bends, freezing Appa, and himself, to save them from drowning. However, he is caught up in a terrible storm, and gets knocked deep underwater with his bison. Aang refuses to accept his destiny as the Avatar, believing it will tear him away from Monk Gyatso, and runs away with his sky bison, Appa. Believing that Monk Gyatso, Aang's personal mentor and father-figure, would hinder Aang's training, they decided to send Aang away to the Eastern Air Temple to receive proper training. When the monks of the Air Temples reveal to Aang that he is the Avatar, Aang reacts in a confused manner. Amazingly, he mastered air-bending at a very young age a sign that he was, indeed, the Avatar. Aang was a mischievous orphan from the Air Temples.
