Bumi chose to make his dad proud by connecting with Aang's military past. This is shown when he asks a statue of Aang if his life and career made him proud. It's shown that they all have great reverence and respect for their grandfather Aang, but it's very easy to deduce that they got the chance to meet him. Korra is older than Jinora, the oldest of the grandchildren. Since Korra is the reincarnation of Aang that means Aang passed away before seeing Tenzin become a father.
This would be a sad reality, but in the world of Avatar, it's made pretty clear that Aang at least got to see his grandkids through Korra. The spiritual aspects of Avatar: The Last Airbender tie the character's together in more ways than one.
Due to Aang being a reincarnation of past avatars his spiritual connections to people far outnumber his real-world connections. His relationship with Zuko and the bond of destiny that ties them can be traced back over a hundred years ago to Avatar Roku.
Roku was the Grandfather of Ursa, Zuko's mother, making Zuko Aang's great-grandson in a spiritual sense. This would also mean that Korra is spiritually related to the entire Airbender family she trains with. Austin is a writer for CBR.

At the end of Avatar: The Last Airbender , Aang goes into his Avatar state and defeats Fire Lord Ozai and takes away his firebending abilities, which is totally badass. He also gets a kiss from Katara, which is important in The Legend of Korra since the two of them eventually get married and have children together. Bumi is a nonbender, just like his uncle, Sokka though, he did get airbending abilities in Book 3 of Korra.
It'll be streaming in America on Netflix on May 15th. Sokka and Katara also reunite with their father, Hakoda, by the end of the show.
But we learn in a flashback that he became a representative for the United Republic Council and sentenced a bloodbender named Yakonne to a life in prison.
He also helped prevent Korra from being kidnapped by criminals with Zuko when she was just a child. But her son, Tenzin and his wife Pema, only have two boys by the end of The Legend of Korra , so… to be continued?
Unlike Aang, though, Meelo can never sit still— forget meditation— and is best known for his uncontrollable gas. In spite of his extremely young age, he even displays a small amount of romantic affection towards Korra, although her attentions are directed towards older boys and girls. Being a baby, Rohan's Airbender status remains unknown— although if history is any lesson, he will turn out to be a fighter like the rest of his family.
Katara warmly tells her son and daughter-in-law that their newborn is most likely going to be an Airbender, although Pema desperately hopes to have at least one nonbender child so that she could have something in common with him. Rohan has a cordial relationship with his Aunt Kya, though it's sometimes tainted by his tendency for losing his lunch all over her. He is last seen at the wedding of Zhu Li and Varrick, where he almost succeeds in escaping his mother's clutches— but alas, he is caught and given a thorough washing.

Aang had no idea where he was and stated his confusion aloud. Eventually, he found his way to the top of the island.
After trying to bend the earth beneath him, the island remained as smooth and silent as ever, which could only mean Aang did not stand on normal rock.
A confused Aang looked deep within himself and summoned the spirit of Roku, who was just as clueless as Aang to their current location.
After Aang had concluded from a series of conversations with Roku and their past lives that the only way to conquer Ozai was to kill him, he and Momo slept a while waiting to be found. When Aang and Momo awoke, the island was moving toward some mountains at the edge of the sea. Shortly after realizing the island was moving, Aang jumped into the water and swam deeper down, where he found to his amazement the island to have gargantuan claws with which it paddled.
When Aang resurfaced, he stated his amazement to Momo and believed the mysterious swimming island to be the shell of the largest animal in the world. Aang dived underwater again and stopped in front of what he found to be the creature's closed eyelid which opened behind him. The creature lifted Aang upward with its claw. Aang emerged above the water surface standing on the claw of none other than a lion turtle.
Aang bowed in respect before the ancient animal and asked him for help in his quest to vanquish Ozai without killing Ozai. The wise lion turtle informed the young Avatar of an ancient though forgotten art that could be used to defeat Ozai, and Aang regained confidence in his ability to defeat the Fire Lord without taking his life. When Aang had Ozai at his knees but still as malevolent as ever, Aang used seismic sense to bend the earth around them which trapped Ozai. Remembering what the lion turtle had told him, Aang used energybending to strip Ozai of his firebending, thus sparing his life but rendering him totally powerless.
Weak and dazed, Ozai found himself unable to even stand and fell limply to the ground. In the process, it was revealed that Aang had become a fully realized Avatar. Aang could never have defeated Ozai the way he wanted to without the lion turtle's help. When Sokka, Toph, and Suki joined Aang shortly after Momo had, the three friends expected Ozai to be dead, but to their surprise, they were mistaken.
Aang explained that he had extracted the firebending power out of Ozai's body, which bewildered his three friends even more. When Toph asked him what sage or master had trained Aang to extract the bending power out of a bender's body, Aang answered honestly, showing his great respect for the lion turtle.
Aang found Momo in the Southern Air Temple. Aang discovered Momo , a winged lemur , while wandering about the ruins of the Southern Air Temple. Amazed to find a creature ties to his culture to still be alive, Aang quickly befriended the lemur and claimed him as a pet, naming him after the peach Momo was holding at the time. After Momo joined the group, he was mostly seen perched on Aang's shoulder, and they were quite close. Aang was also very protective of Momo, as evidenced when he struck down a buzzard wasp in order to rescue him [35] and told Momo, the only one who had accompanied him, to go right before his final battle with Ozai.
Aang and On Ji met during the former's time at the Fire Nation school. While in the Fire Nation, Aang accidentally disguised himself as a student from the local school ; confused and in desperate need of help, he befriended a girl named On Ji , who aided him throughout the school day.
Growing jealous, On Ji's self-proclaimed boyfriend, Hide , threatened Aang for speaking to her, but the Avatar invited her nonetheless to the party at the cave; he even danced with her. When the headmaster of the school and several truant officers arrived at the party to stop it, Aang and the rest of Team Avatar fled with the help of the other students.
On Ji showed some possible romantic interest in Aang; this unrequited affection became more evident when she blushed as Aang approached her, although Aang's feelings remained completely platonic due to his own feelings for Katara.
Aang sought Avatar Roku 's advice on multiple occasions. As the Avatar, Aang was able to speak and interact with his past lives. Aang first learned of his past self, Avatar Roku, from Monk Gyatso, and he later connected with him at the temple on Crescent Island.
Afterward, Roku became a spiritual guide to Aang, teaching him everything he knew about being the Avatar, including the dangers of the Avatar State, [45] and helping him when he needed advice. Additionally, Aang relied on his three past lives prior to Roku for support and guidance. The day before Sozin's Comet arrived, Aang faced a moral crisis: the monks had taught him that killing was wrong, yet everyone he knew was pressuring him to end the Hundred Year War and save the world by taking Ozai's life.
After Roku more or less bluntly told Aang to take the Phoenix King 's life by urging him to "be decisive," the monk decided to ask his other incarnations in the hopes that one of them would give him a way out of taking Ozai's life. He first approached Avatar Kyoshi for advice, and she reminded Aang of her conflict with Chin the Conqueror: she had been prepared to end Chin's life and therefore saw no difference as to whether she had killed him deliberately or not - and now Aang must do whatever it took to stop Ozai.
Naturally, Aang regretted asking her for this advice, stating that "[he] knew [he] shouldn't have asked Kyoshi" and went on to question Avatar Kuruk , who talked about how laid back the Water Tribe Avatar had been and how his lack of action had cost him his bride Ummi to Koh ; his advice was that, as the Avatar, Aang must actively shape his own destiny and the destiny of the world. Desperate to find another way that did not involve taking anyone's life, he asked the Air Nomad Avatar before him; Avatar Yangchen.
Although she agreed that all life was sacred and that Aang had been taught well by the monks, she advised Aang that "selfless duty" meant that he needed to sacrifice his own spiritual needs to satisfy the needs of the world. Aang initially decided to accept his past lives' advice and kill the Fire Lord, but later changed his mind upon conversing with the lion turtle. Suki grew concerned for Aang after learning that Appa had been taken. Aang and Suki met each other when she and her warriors ambushed him, Katara, and Sokka, but after Aang informed them that he was the Avatar, they started to treat him and his friends as honored guests.
Aang listened as Toph told him about her background. Toph first appeared as a vision of the future to Aang in a mystical swamp. When Aang first truly met Toph, he recognized her talent and remembered both his swamp vision and Bumi's advice of finding a teacher who listened before striking.
Wanting to talk to her, he accidentally defeated her in an Earth Rumble match and lost her the championship, causing her to initially dislike him. Later, while the Avatar tried to persuade her to be his earthbending teacher, Toph, fearing her parent's wrath if they discovered her secret life as the Blind Bandit, declined the offer; however, after a dinner fiasco in front of her parents, she "[called] a truce" with Aang and agreed to that with him.
The two took a stroll about the garden, and she explained why she could not leave her parents. Following her parents' discovery of her talent and her pseudonym, Toph joined Team Avatar in order to teach Aang earthbending. Acting on Iroh's advice, she rejoined them at a moment of crisis and helped in the fight against Azula in Tu Zin. She had a much different teaching approach than Katara, one akin to that of an army drill sergeant: Just like their elements, Aang and Toph's personalities were complete opposites.
At first, he was intimidated by Toph's bold nature and tried to work peacefully around it, but he eventually learned to stand up to her after fighting a saber-tooth moose lion and took back his staff, which she had been using as a nutcracker.
However, they seemed to have an easier relationship as time went along. Aang referred to everyone, including Toph, as his family. Aang chose Toph to be his earthbending teacher. Despite their differences, Aang held Toph in great admiration, respect, and even awe at times because of her unique bending capabilities.
After Toph explained the full capacity of her power, Aang responded: "That's amazing! Aang and Toph's relationship was temporarily strained by their different perspectives regarding the revival of Yangchen's Festival, though the two eventually came to an understanding.
The friendship and cooperation between Aang and Toph persisted into their adulthood, as clearly seen when the Avatar decided to assist Toph Beifong, who had become Chief of Police , in arresting Yakone, a criminal who had been terrorizing Republic City. Even at the age of forty, Aang was still referred to by Toph as "Twinkle Toes", however, not to the airbender's amusement, demonstrating that the dynamics between the two had remained much the same.
During the events of the Siege of the North , Aang realized that there were far too many Fire Navy ships to destroy them himself, so Yue brought the Avatar to the Spirit Oasis in order to aid his journey to the Spirit World and the seek the advice of Tui and La, the Ocean and Moon Spirits.
As the Moon Spirit, Yue helped Aang many times. After he was shot by Azula's lightning, [32] she served as his guide when she informed him he needed to reconnect with his past lives to keep the Avatar Cycle whole. Convinced he had failed, the Avatar even refused to be consoled by Roku, but Yue, calming the seas, reminded him that he had already saved the world and encouraged him not to give up by saying he would save the world again; with his will restored, Aang realized he had to keep trying, and the Moon Spirit helped him bend a giant wave to give him a safe journey toward the Fire Nation.
Aang was initially hunted down by Zuko. Prince Zuko was at first one of Aang's greatest enemies. His persistent quest to capture the Avatar, fueled by his need to have his father's acceptance, was a threat to both Aang and the world at large, as he was the only thing standing between the Fire Nation and total world domination, yet each of them had helped the other in various ways.
Because his right to the throne and to return home from exile hinged on the Avatar's capture, he had to protect Aang from other potential "threats": the possibilities of someone else fulfilling his mission. When Aang was abducted by the prince's rival, Admiral Zhao, Zuko, hiding his identity behind a blue mask, posed as a vigilante and master of dual dao swords named the Blue Spirit in order to free Aang from custody.
In turn, the Avatar rescued the exiled prince when the latter was knocked unconscious during the escape attempt. Afterward, reflecting on an old Fire Nation friend named Kuzon, Aang asked Zuko if they could have been friends under different circumstances, only to receive a fire blast in reply.
Despite objections from the rest of Team Avatar, Aang also saved Zuko from freezing to death in the icy tundra of the North Pole. Zuko's life development paralleled Aang's as both of them confronted their pasts at the same time; [48] later, while Aang was learning to earthbend, Zuko also struggled with a new skill, lightning generation, and finally learned to redirect lightning.
As individuals, Aang and Zuko shared many similarities: both had profound father figures in their lives, as Monk Gyatso served as Aang's guardian when the latter was taken from his parents to become a monk, while Uncle Iroh acted as a watchful mentor to his nephew Zuko after Fire Lord Ozai banished him.
The two also had shameful pasts and were forced to live with the guilt of disappointing those that they revered the most - and both were forever marked with a symbol of their guilt, as Aang had received his traditional Air Nomad tattoos from the monk, while Zuko's father had burned a scar onto his son's face. As well, the two were fighting for something specific; Aang persevered for the world and the people around him, while Zuko strove for his honor. To some extent, Aang displayed interest in Zuko as a person, [54] but the exiled prince only saw the Avatar as a means to regain his lost honor.
While in Ba Sing Se, Aang, attempting to find his lost sky bison, distributed fliers throughout the city. Zuko found one of the fliers and realized the Avatar was within reach. Donning his Blue Spirit mask, he sneaked into the underground Dai Li bunker and found the room in which Appa was being held. After Uncle Iroh confronted him, an extremely confused Zuko finally saw the light and released the Avatar's bison, [29] but upon his return to the apartment , he fell into a deep fever, during which he experienced a number of visions, hallucinations and dreams, some of which seemed to allude to future events in his life.
In the last of these, Zuko experienced a false awakening in which he saw himself with Aang's tattoos, a shaved head, and no scar.
Once he had returned to the Fire Nation and reclaimed his place as the Crown Prince, Zuko, under the belief that Aang was still alive, hired an assassin to "end" the Avatar. Zuko's mother Ursa was in fact Avatar Roku's descendant, consequently, Aang was the reincarnation of one of Zuko's maternal great-grandfather, making the Avatar and the Fire Prince spiritual relatives.
Aang, who was not comfortable with any sort of responsibility at the moment, watched for cues among the rest of the team as to how to respond; when Katara, who had been hurt by him in the catacombs, reacted negatively, the Avatar did likewise. Afterward, he revealed how Zuko had rescued him at Pohuai Stronghold ; Aang himself believed that Zuko had some good in him, but when the firebender burned Toph's feet, the Avatar was forced to agree with the others: Zuko could not have been allowed to join the group.
However, Zuko later defended the group from Combustion Man and gave them enough time to defeat him. He subsequently apologized to Toph for burning her, claiming it was an accident and that he needs to control his bending so he did not hurt people unintentionally.
After remembering when he first tried learning firebending and accidently burned Katara's hands, Aang accepted Zuko as his firebending teacher. Aang and Zuko later became friends and allies. With the Avatar's capture no longer driving him, Zuko appeared to have lost the ability to firebend and so he and Aang traveled to the Sun Warrior ruins in the hopes of finding something that would restore Zuko's bending.
Here, they met the Sun Warriors , whose chief decided that they would be judged by the masters, Ran and Shaw , who turned out to be dragons. After Aang and Zuko worked together to perform the Dancing Dragon , Ran and Shaw deemed them worthy and they were shown the true meaning of firebending as life itself.
Despite Zuko's past misdeeds, Aang seemed to have developed a fair degree of respect and admiration for him, even giving him the nickname "Sifu Hotman", much to the prince's annoyance.
Three days prior to the arrival of Sozin's Comet, Zuko berated Aang for his failure to focus on his firebending training. When the Avatar decided have a beach party with all his friends, excluding Zuko on Ember Island, the former Fire Prince attacked him in a brazen attempt to force Aang to understand that he had to defeat Fire Lord Ozai before the comet arrived. When Zuko told the group of Ozai's malicious plot to raze the Earth Kingdom to the ground, the young Avatar finally realized the severity of his inevitable task.
Zuko proceeded to train Aang in the art of lightning redirection for protection against Ozai, and he explained the danger of redirecting from his own experience against his father. As the monk understood that there would be no "spirit water action" if something went wrong, his firebending teacher bluntly stated, "You'll have to take the Fire Lord's life before he takes yours. After being called away onto a mysterious island, Aang ended up on the back of a lion turtle and was taught a new ability, energybending, [50] which he used to triumph over Ozai by stripping the Phoenix King of his bending.
The Avatar and the Fire Lord embraced each other in a warm hug, affirming their deep friendship. As the Harmony Restoration Movement was kicked off, and the team was flying on board Appa, Zuko asked Aang to promise that if the former ever became like his father, he would kill him, to which Aang reluctantly agreed.
When Aang and Katara arrived to see that Yu Dao was locked down and that the Fire Nation guards would not allow them to Zuko, Aang was attacked, but Katara attacked back. Zuko restrained Katara, to which Aang reacted by attacking the Fire Lord and even engaging the Avatar State, until Katara pulled him out. Zuko and Aang fell into a verbal altercation as they explored Yu Dao, with Zuko arguing that he would not allow Aang to destroy all the Fire Nation had built up in all the colonies, Yu Dao included.
Aang argued that harmony required four separate nations, with peace being impossible if one nation occupied another. The verbal sparring ended when Katara suggested a meeting with the Earth King , to which the two agreed. Prior to the battle in Yu Dao, the two had a similar dream where they stood over the battle scene, Ozai's spirit behind the Fire Lord and Roku's behind the Avatar. Zuko believed he was "lost" and told Aang to finish him.
Aang went into the Avatar State and attempted to carry out his promise before Ursa appeared to Zuko. He quickly tried to tell Aang to stop before each of them awoke in a state of panic.
The two encountered on the battlefield, and seeing the Fire Nation troops charge toward Yu Dao, Aang engaged the Avatar State, intent on finishing the Fire Lord, but Katara pulled the Avatar away in an attempt to calm him. Aang meditated away from the battlefield at his girlfriend's urging, and, in talking to Roku, was shocked to learn that Zuko was the old Avatar's great-grandson. Aang returned to the battlefield in the Avatar State, opening up a fissure in the ground below which Zuko fell into.
However, Aang saved his friend from his death, only for him to collapse a short time after.
