Production notes
Continuity
- Jinpa, a character first introduced in The Rise of Kyoshi, went on to author a book encompassing the experiences of other past Avatars, titled "The Lives of the Avatar".[1]
- Yun is remembered throughout history as "the False Avatar who was driven to madness".
- The discovery of Kyoshi's Avatarhood is recounted.[1]
- The Fire Nation method to identify the Avatar was burning inscribed bones and reading their resulted fissures, similar to Wu's method of fortunetelling.[2]
Character revelations
- Avatar Szeto was found to be the Avatar at an early age when he bent a second element.[nb 1]
- Avatar Kuruk was announced to be the Avatar when he came of age, or 16, having been identified by Water Tribe spiritual leaders through typical rituals.
- Gyatso's airbending was partially dysfunctional.
Notes
- ↑ In Jinpa's "The Lives of the Avatar", he wrote that Avatars Szeto and Yangchen were identified early over displaying abilities only Avatars could possess, such as bending a second element, or displaying an Avatar's spiritual gifts. As Yangchen is known to have been identified over her channeling of previous Avatars' memories,[3] the bending of a second element would instead be attributed to Szeto.
