into Korra of the Southern Water Tribe. Aang intended for the Order to simply guide and guard Korra, but sev eral
mishaps in the aftermath of Aang's death (including a kidnapping attempt by the anarchist Zaheer) and the still-
fragile state of relations between the now-Fiv e Nations resulted in Katara and Tenzin sequestering Korra in a

Book One: Air

In the sequel series' first season, Av atar Aang's spirit occasionally
serv es as the spiritual adv isor to sev enteen-y ear-old Korra (much like
the prev ious Av atar incarnation, Roku, did for Aang). Initially , Aang is
only able to giv e Korra glimpses of his memory concerning Y akone in

products of Y akone's Bloodbending v endetta on the Av atar. It is only
after she loses her ability to bend that Korra allows herself to listen to Avatar Aang's spirit with Korra in The

the Av atar State and teaching her to Energy bend.
Book Two: Spirits

The sequel series' second season rev eals that Av atar Aang apparently treated Tenzin as his fav orite child, due to
his son's Airbender status; Ky a and Bumi mentioned to Tenzin that Aang alway s took Tenzin on v acations with
him, but nev er them. Aang's Air Acoly tes also were unaware that Aang had two other children besides Tenzin.
Tenzin himself insists that Aang lov ed all his children equally , but that Aang took more precedence in raising him
since Tenzin would hav e to take care of future generations of airbenders. Aang himself later appears, along with
Roku, Ky oshi and Kuruk, before Korra in a v ision and encourages her to learn the origins of Wan (the first Av atar)
and Raav a. Aang, or possibly a v ision of him, later appears in the Spirit World, encouraging Tenzin to mov e past
the enormous legacy of being Aang's son and find his own path. Korra's connection to Aang and the other
preceding Av atars is sev ered when Vaatu extracts and subsequently kills Raav a, the div ine Av atar Spirit entity
within her. Ev en though Raav a is reborn and fused again with Korra, she discov ers, to her dismay , that her
spiritual connection to Aang and all past Av atars is gone forev er.
Book Three: Change

When Zaheer gav e an ultimatum: Surrender to him or lose the new airbenders, Korra mediated into the spirit
realm, she expressed her wish to call upon Aang's spirit and ask his adv ice in sav ing the new Air Nomads. Iroh's
spirit assured her that, ev en though Aang was no longer able to guide her, she could ask one of Aang's closest
friends: Lord Zuko.
Appearances in other media
Games
Aang's character appeared in the Avatar: The Last Airbender Trading Card Game on a multitude of cards. [1 ][2 ]
He appeared in the Avatar: The Last Airbender v ideo game as one of the four play able characters. [3 6 ] Two
sequels were made: Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Burning Earth, [3 ][3 7 ] followed by Avatar: The Last
Airbender – Into the Inferno.
Aang also appeared in Escape from the Spirit World, an online v ideo game that can be found on Nickelodeon's
official website. The game includes certain plot changes that are not shown in the show. The show's directors,
Michael DiMartino and Bry an Konietzko, claim the ev ents are canon. [4 ] Aang is also a play able character in the
Nickelodeon game Super Brawl Univ erse. There is also a location in the game set in the Air Temple.
Films
Toky opop has published a films comic (sometimes referred to as cine-manga), in which Aang, being the main
character of the show, appears repeatedly . [6 ]
In 2010, director M. Night Shy amalan cast 12-y ear-old Tae Kwon Do practitioner Noah Ringer as Aang in the film
adaptation of the series, The Last Airbender. [3 8 ] The casting of a presumed white actor in the role of Aang (as
well as a primarily Caucasian cast) in the Asian-influenced Avatar univ erse triggered negativ e reactions from
some fans, marked by accusations of racism, a letter-writing campaign, and a protest outside of a Philadelphia
casting call for mov ie extras. A counter-mov ement was spawned in response by other fans who believ ed the
casting was appropriate. [3 9 ][4 0 ][4 1 ] The casting decisions were also negativ ely receiv ed by sev eral critics, who
stated that the original casting call expressed a preference for Caucasian actors ov er others. [4 2 ] Noah Ringer
later identified himself to Entertainment Weekly as an American Indian. [4 3 ]
Creation and conception

Aang's character was dev eloped from a drawing by Bry an Konietzko, depicting a bald man with an arrowlike
design on his head, which the artist dev eloped into a picture of a child with a fly ing bison. [4 4 ] Meanwhile,
Michael Dante DiMartino was interested in a documentary about explorers trapped in the South Pole, which he
later combined with Konietzko's drawing.
There's an air guy along with these water people trapped in a snowy wasteland...and may be some
fire people are pressing down on them...
— Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko[44]
The plot they described corresponds with the first and second episodes of Avatar: The Last Airbender, where the
"water people" (Katara and Sokka) rescue the "air guy " (Aang) while "trapped in a snowy wasteland" (the Southern
Water Tribe) with "some fire people [that] are pressing down on them" (Fire Nation Troops and Zuko). [4 4 ][1 0 ][1 1 ]
The creators of the show intended Aang to be trapped in an iceberg for one hundred y ears, later to wake inside a
futuristic world, wherein he would hav e a robot named Momo and a dozen bisons. The creators lost interest in
this theme, and changed it to one hundred y ears of suspended animation. The robotic Momo became a fly ing
lemur, and the herd of bison was reduced to one. [4 4 ]
In the episode "Tales of Ba Sing Se", Aang’s name was written as 安昂 (ān áng) in Chinese.
Personality and characteristics

Michael Dante DiMartino, the show's co-creator, said:
"We wanted Aang to solve problems and defeat enemies with his wits as well as his powerful
abilities".
— Michael Dante DiMartino[45]
According to the show's creators, "Buddhism and Taoism hav e been huge inspirations behind the idea for
Avatar."[4 6 ] As shown in "The King of Omashu"[4 7 ] and "The Headband", [4 8 ] a notable aspect of Aang's character
is his v egetarian diet, which is consistent with Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism. [4 6 ] In the Brahmajala Sutra, a
Buddhist code of ethics, v egetarianism is encouraged. [4 9 ] Furthermore, the writers gav e Aang a consistent
reluctance to fight and an av ersion to killing. In "The Spirit World (Winter Solstice, Part 1)", Aang encounters an
angry spirit destroy ing a v illage and kidnapping v illagers; but instead of fighting the spirit, Aang negotiates. [5 0 ]
He is also depicted showing ethical reluctance in killing Firelord Ozai, [5 1 ] and ev entually strips Ozai of his
bending instead of murdering him. [2 3 ]
Bending the elements

As the Av atar, Aang is capable of bending all four elements (air,
water, earth and fire). The series' creators consulted a professional
martial artist in the design of the show's fighting sty le; each of
these sty les philosphies and set mov ements corresponds to a
specific "bending arts". [5 2 ]
The creators made bending a natural extension of consistent

limitations and rules of the world. Ev ery thing in Av atar's world,
whether it be clothing, culture or infrastructure, is influenced by
bending. The City of Omashu uses a complex sy stem of grav ity and
earthbending to transport supplies. The Water Tribes were a nav al
superpower: their buildings are made of ice and used
Clockwise from top left: Aang, Katara,
waterbending as mechanisms for their walls and gates. Airbenders
Tenzin, Kya and Bumi
built temples atop high mountains and cliffs that could only be
easily reached by Airbending and they hav e a hermetic ideology
to reflect this isolation. The Fire Nation were the first to industrialize due to their ability to generate power and
master metallurgy with their bending or fire and lightning.
At the start of the series, Aang is initially only proficient in air, hav ing been able to bend them with ease since he
was a y oung child. Through the teaching Katara and Zuko, he gradually learns waterbending and firebending; but
struggles with Toph's teachings of earthbending due to its rigid nature conflicting with his desire for freedom.
Aang utilizes all elements equally , but heav ily fav or's airbending for crowd control and non-lethal purposes, in
accordance with his pacifism principles.
Airbending: the martial art Aang primarily uses in the entire franchise, is a Southern Temple Style based on an
"internal" Chinese martial art called Baguazhang. Aang is the only person in living memory to have mastered this
form of airbending, and would later pass down this knowledge to his son, Tenzin, who with the aid of Korra, would
prove instrumental in the reconstruction and preservation of Air Nomad oral and intangible cultural heritage. Due to
the genocide of his people, all other "styles of airbending arts" have been forever lost to history. This fighting style
focuses on circular movements, and does not have many finishing moves; traits meant to represent the
unpredictability of air and the peaceful character of Airbenders.[53] Airbending represents the element of freedom,[54]
and is categorized as the most elusive of the "four bending arts". Airbending involves "smooth coiling and uncoiling
actions"; dynamic footwork, throws, and open-handed techniques; and swift, evasive maneuvers designed to evoke
the "intangibility and explosive power of wind". These techniques are intended to increase the difficulty for opponents
to attack directly or land a lethal blow—allowing airbenders to defend themselves while also protecting their attacker
from injury—a pacifist-philosophy that is prevalent among the Air Nomad people. Airbending lacks "finishing moves"
or effective methods for permanently disabling foes, a weakness frequently exploited by opponents.
Waterbending: the martial art Katara teaches Aang in the series, is based on Chinese martial arts techniques of
"internal style" T'ai chi ch'uan and Jeet Kune Do. When Aang traveled north, he learned Northern Tribe Yin-style.
During the Legend of Korra, Katara is the only Master of "Southern Tribe Yang-style", forced to reconstruct the style
from surviving manuscripts; all other masters were killed, their collective knowledge confiscated or destroyed by the
Fire Nation.[55][56][53][57] Waterbending represents the element of change - a shapeshifter constantly changing forms
-[54] and is categorized as the most adaptive or pliable of the "four bending arts". Waterbending emphasizes
"softness and breathing" over "hard aggression"; fluid and graceful, acting in concert with the environment; creating
opportunities where none exist; this "flow of energy" allows their defensive maneuvers to translate into focus on
control and counter-offenses, turning their opponents' momentum against them. Despite these advantages,
Waterbending is almost entirely dependent on inertia; it is essential for practitioners to not be rigid, but to be fluid
and able to adapt to any situation.
Earthbending: the martial art Toph teaches Aang in the series, is based on chinese martial arts techniques of Hóng
Quán and Chu Gar Nán Pài Tángláng.[58][59][56][53][57] Earthbending represents the element of substance.[54] Toph's
style is literally "Toph's style"; a blending of her aristocratic family's "secret arts", and honed into a sharp blade
through years of experience in gladiatorial arena combat. Earthbending is categorized as the most diverse and
enduring of the "four bending arts".[60] Earthbending is the geokinetic ability to manipulate earth, rock, sand, lava,
and metals in all their various forms. Earthbending utilizes neutral jing, which involves waiting and listening for the
right moment to act decisively. Earthbending involves enduring attacks until the right opportunity to counterattack
reveals itself, emphasizes "heavily rooted stances and strong blows that evoke the mass and power of earth", and
demands precise stepping footwork to maintain constant contact with the ground. Earthbending parallels Five
Animals movements (such as the tiger's hard blows and the crane's affinity to landing gracefully). Earthbending is at
its strongest when the feet or hand are in direct contact with the ground, enabling earthbenders to transfer their
kinetic energies into their bending for fast and powerful moves. This reliance on direct contact with the earth is a
literal Achilles' heel; separating earthbenders from any contact with the earth renders them ineffective.
Firebending: the martial art Zuko teaches Aang in the series, is based on chinese martial arts techniques of
Changquan, Shaolinquan, Lóng Xíng Mó Qiáo and Xing Yi Quan.[61][56][53][57] A century of warfare have corrupted the
Fire Nation's rich culture, and with it, their firebending-styles "regressed" into militarized format based on hatred and
raw aggression; Zuko and Aang sought to learn firebending in its purest and most harmonious form, and
rediscovered Dancing Dragon Style from the last surviving dragons.
Energybending: Aang learned energybending from his desire not to kill. He is able to use energybending to
connect with her inner spirit and gain cosmic energy from the universe.
The Avatar State

As the Av atar, Aang is as a bridge between "Material World" and the
"Spirit World", the plane of existence where the univ erse's disembodied
spirits dwell. His spirituality training progressed swiftly , granting
v isions and access to the v arious memories from his past liv es.
His most powerful ability is the Av atar State, which allows him to
access bending techniques he would not hav e learned during his own
lifetime but throughout that of his predecessors. In addition, he also
receiv es a massiv e boost in raw power, enabling him to easily The Avatars (from right to left): Aang,

to combat with his current skills or when his life is in mortal danger.
While speaking in the Av atar State, Aang's v oice becomes in-sy nc with
that of Raav a's as a testament to their connection. His weaknesses in the state is that he is v ulnerable, and if
killed, then this would cause the Av atar to cease being reincarnated.
Critical reception
In the show's intended demographics, Aang has been receiv ed exceptionally . Kendall Ly ons stated, "Aang seems
to be the lighthearted kid that y ou can easily familiarize y ourself with", and that he "seems to bring comfort in the
most dangerous or hostile situations."[6 2 ] There are many similar descriptions about Aang as a childlike
character who is "reckless and excitable". [6 3 ] Rev iews point out that "as the Av atar, Aang seems unstoppable,
but as Aang, he is just another Airbender"; the rev iew states later that the show continues to focus on a more
realistic character instead of a perfect one by rev ealing many character flaws. [6 4 ] In 2016, Screen Rant ranked
Aang #15 on its "30 Best Animated TV Characters Of All Time" list. [6 5 ]
