Because Airbenders were dead.
Because Airbenders were pacifist.
>Muh pacifism
I'm pretty sure you can suffocate person without killing him if you will stop in time
You really can’t. Real life isn’t like a video game where if you choke someone out they just fall asleep. It’s actually an incredibly thin line between knocking someone out and causing permanent brain damage
This airbending technique isn’t just choking someone out though, it’s literally sucking the air out of their lungs. At that point it would be less like choking someone out and more like throwing them into hard vacuum, where their brain would almost immediately begin to shut down.

The more I think if he just did it for a little bit she'd be a straight up vegetable or just lose feelings in parts pf her body. As a message that'd probably be a lot more scary, and maybe the public would turn on all airbenders.
>It’s actually an incredibly thin line between knocking someone out and causing permanent brain damage
Correct, yet you missed the point entirely.
You have to continue choking someone for a considerably long time after they pass out to KILL them.
Brain damage isn't killing.
It still violence. What part of airbenders being pacifists you didn't understand?
The only form of violence is murder anon, obviously
That causes brain damage you dingus
It's still torture, which is about as anti-pacifist as you can get.
Ah yes, because pacifists are famous for joining the police to use tasers on people.
Pacifists don't use force, full stop.
Maybe you should start training cops on this matter
I find your lack of faith...disturbing.
Fun fact. While the Tibetan government before the Chinese took over didn't have the death penalty. They did blind and rip out prisoners tongues, and cut off rapists members. Since the air nomads were inspired by the tibetans they'd probably have a similar code of law enforcement for whenever monks behaved badly.
>Since the air nomads were inspired by the tibetans they'd probably have a similar code of law enforcement for whenever monks behaved badly.
What a Superman leap in logic. Christ, headcanoners are embarrassing.
>Because Airbenders were pacifist.
So all these soldiers died of natural causes?
Being a pacifist doesn't mean you avoid killing no matter what, if your life is in danger then you can kill in self defense.
Being pacifists did not mean they would just let the Fire Nation slaughter them without resistance. One of the core beliefs of most pacifist societies is the idea of self defense.
Not a burn on Gyatso, meaning he sealed the room and sucked all the air out, even if it meant killing himself.
That's just what the Air Scooter was actually used for before Aang turned it into easy transportation.
I mean what are you asking? Why one of two pacifist monks, one of which was an eleven year old child, didn’t brutally asphyxiate someone?
Even then Aang found Gyatso’s body surrounded by Fire Nation corpses. Air Nomads could clearly be lethal if they wanted to be
Because it sucks as an offensive technique. It's slow as frick and is only useful against a weak old defenseless target. It's just the bending equivalent of putting a pillow on somebody's face
It also doesn’t stop people from bending in retaliation.
it should though, if you cant breath you cant bend
Only applies to fire benders.
Why don't cartoons give us kills like this anymore?
It was made up on the spot
Well, if we going in a point of fighting and the war scenario, it's kinda pointless to make someone master a really OP 1 vs 1 technique when your will totally have multiple enemies in the battlefield.
What the hell is with all the ESL speak today? Is this a new meme?
i wonder what killed all those fire benders during the comet? hmmm fire cant burn without oxygen anon
>fire cant burn without oxygen anon
Oh shit that makes sense!
That's why there aren't any signs of firebending being used in the room.
Obviously he just bended the oxygen somewhere else in a pacifist way
Damn you're right
Airbenders believed in piece, otherwise we've had stuff like Aang cutting people in necks in full speed
>piece,
You mean Peace.
Peace is the opposite of war "Piece" is one of a set. Like how a Rook is a Chess Piece
The previous cartoon was called the last airbender
Because everyone involved in Korra was lazy and edgy. ATLA has a clear system of how stuff works, and magic balls of air is not part of it except for Aang's air scooter which he invented. Airbending works with flow, and even IF taking someone's breath was something they could do, it would need insane concentration to focus on the many individual alveoli while fighting against the muscles. As for airbending used to attack, Aang had always needed to be more forceful than usual. It's clearly seen that hard attacks, ie. forcing air in a direction, is messier than other elements due to the gaseous nature of air, which is why airbending culture is centered around self-protection.
Aang cuts a giant wasp in half from a great distance with airbending. Also breathing works by the diaphragm changing air pressure within the lungs, to stop someone from breathing using air bending all you'd need to do is create an area around the target with a lower air pressure than that of their lungs.
Because the original show had class.
Because Airbenders are generally non-violent and don't go out of their way to harm people. 98% of what they do is defensive or supplementary, with the remaining 2% being bizarre, unconventional shit like this or throwing out wind blades.
By the by, how the frick does a crescent of air cut stuff?
Because kids show. Same reason why Firebenders don't just brutally immolate people, which they could easily do. You ever notice that despite punching giant clouds of orange fire, no one is ever burned? And the few that do become narrative points.
A rock would do more damage than a gout of flame. Not that firebenders have to sustain their shit manually unless it's being actively fueled. People aren't that flammable. Flamethrowers and napalm and shit try to douse you with accelerants.
Waterbenders using steam would actually be the strongest- unless that's an air thing, depends who chooses to write the power.
Remember the end fight between Aang and Ozai? He produced a sustained blast of fire strong enough to crumble stone. That would have turned Aang into cinders.
I feel like Steambending should be a Waterbender subtechnique; they can already lower the temperature of water to freeze it, why not the opposite?
Based
Nickleodeon think they slick... SHE dabbing!
You don't even need to bloodbend but it would be identical to the earth solution if you don't simply use healer techniques to stop their heart or rupture something.
Basically what happened to Jet, they just softened it to internal rupturing.
Earthbending should by all means be able to bend bones.
Since Korra loved bringing stupid edgy fan ideas for bending techniques into canon, I'm still pissed we never got that fricking wind sword.
The fact that bending lightning becomes a common profession bothers me to no end.
Firebenders could suffocate people even more easily due to fire consuming oxygen around them.
I would have liked to see more firebending sub-skills. Like, could a firebender superheat the oxygen in your lungs to create spontaneous human combustion? Could earthbenders draw the iron out of your blood?
Real question is why didn't any earth bender use this one ever again.
Because earthbending is inconsistent and most earthbenders are stupid meatheads. It has so many possible applications but these dipshits just throw rocks. homie you could reverse the earth's magnetic poles if you wanted.
Yeah but do you know how many earth benders it would take to do that? Probably more then all the people alive right now.
Or just Toph. Her seismic sense was effectively unlimited by her old age, so she has some level of global influence.
How do you reckon
I always figured it was a high level technique. Obviously turning earth into mud and controlling it so fluidly like in that scene would be high level but I wonder how low tier you could do it.
Could a common earthbender soldier compress earth quickly to make a fissure? Maybe not. Could they throw the earth beneath someone up and away to make them fall in and have the thrown earth come back to bury them? Maybe. Skilled foes wouldn't fall for it, though and most soldiers might prefer to lift some rock up as a shield and throw it at foes since you can start doing that before you're in trap holing range. Most earthbenders seem to have a range of some 10ft or so but can throw boulders further than their earthbending range.
Just because you didn't see a technique before, doesn't mean that it never existed. Same with all the extra Force powers in Star Wars that OT puritans shit their pants over.
>Same with all the extra Force powers in Star Wars that OT puritans shit their pants over.
Don't even go there you raging homosexual. They made a big deal about healing people with the Force in the OT and implied it was some super secret knowledge only esoteric Sith would know and directly led to Anakin turning to Darth Vader. Then Rey pulls it out of her fricking ass with 0 training or knowledge.
Healing people with the Force has been a thing for decades, shown in quite a lot of video games.
We're talking about the movies, not the non-canonical EU.
Why wouldn't that count?
>non-canonical EU
You mean the stuff that was canon for decades, & superior to Disney canon?
>They made a big deal about healing people with the Force in the OT and implied it was some super secret knowledge only esoteric Sith would know and directly led to Anakin turning to Darth Vader.
I don't remember that being in the OT. Are you sure you're a REAL Star Wars fan, old man?
Earthbending remains the strongest possible element. Earthbending can avoid every single one of the other elements kill moves. Water takes years to erode stone and Earthbenders can just bend more rock to protect themselves. They can't be bloodbended unless it's under a full moon, and even then nothing is stopping them from just encasing themselves in rock so a Bloodbender can't even move them, or even see them, what's stopping an Earthbender from holding their breath, sinking into the ground, then bending the Bloodbender into the abyss? Firebenders are just fricked either way, flames would have to be at temperatures that would melt the Firebender to even have a chance at melting stone. Airbenders are the only ones who can come off with a stalemate, because they can just fly away once the Earthbender stops all of their attacks. Asphyxiation? Takes too long. Hold your breath and bend yourself underground. And any Earthbender can just bend some rocks around themselves and form a pocket space the Airbender can't bend through.
>They can't be bloodbended unless it's under a full moon
Sure
O MY KEKKAI GENKAI
It's still canon
Dumbest villain ever
