![]() Why would the mighty Fire Nation focus their military might on a small tribe living on the edge of the world? In Season 1 of the Avatar: The Last Airbender, we saw that the Southern Water Tribe’s population had depleted over the course of the Hundred Year War, and Katara was the last waterbender the tribe had seen in some time. The show itself also offers plenty of evidence to support this theory. So it makes sense that the Fire Nation would look there if they thought the airbending Avatar was dead. ![]() We know Aang is an airbender and The Legend of Korra later confirms that the next Avatar in the cycle is a waterbender. When one Avatar dies, their successor is reborn into the next nation. The Avatar cycle is based on the four seasons. The post has since been removed from the Fan Theories subreddit for unclear reasons, but here's the gist of it. Katara became a very powerful waterbender. ![]() The Last Airbender notes that the Fire Nation had killed all of the airbenders (including the Avatar) and so they went looking for the next incarnation, a waterbender, next. Reddit user LDM123 suggests the Fire Nation constantly pillaged and imprisoned members of the Southern Water Tribe because they originally thought Katara was the new Avatar. Now, an intriguing new theory offers a compelling explanation for the Fire Nation's fixation with waterbenders before and during Avatar: The Last Airbender. When Aang disappears for 100 years, most people assume he's gone for good and focus on dominating the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes, while a select few ( Zuko) continue to seek him out the Avatar. Fire Lord Sozin instigated the war and proceeded to find the new and reborn Avatar following the death of Avatar Roku. The opening sequence of Avatar: The Last Airbender begins with the history of the four nations - the Water Tribe, the Fire Nation, the Air Nomads, and the Earth Kingdom - living in harmony before the Fire Nation became hostile to its neighbors. ![]()
