    did he actually open the last chakra, and no one has mentioned that he wasn't supposed to be able to open the last chakra seeing as he left the guru at the eastern air temple, i mean it says he can't anymore then suddenly he begins opening it again

    You're wrong.?? In Naruto, chakra is described as energy, while in Avatar, chakra is pools of energy.??

    Thats where you're wrong as well you said aang's chakra was pools of energy, but did you ever hear in naruto how chakra was shaped? Basically they both mean energy in some form therefore the avatar peoples copied the name chakra.

    Anyone possibly think that the term "chakra" is an actual word used to actually mean "energy"/"pools of energy" and therefor is open to any show to use? I mean, come on people, avatar isn't exactly known for "stealing" things, why would they steal this?

    Yeah, chakras are real things. Just look up "chakra" on google or something. They are 100 percent real. Sure, they don't have the kind of power or significance like in fiction, but they exist.

    Avatar has only been on for almost two years naruto has been on longer than this by about a year and a half (the manga anyway) so therefore avatar is still technically copying naruto in the name chakra.

    No dude the Avatar series is not copying Naruto. No matter how much longer Naruto was on. If they copied Naruto, then Naruto copied Webster's dictionary. Do you ppl actually think Naruto made chakras up? If so do some research.

    by the way

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chakra

    In Hinduism and in some related Asian cultures, a chakra (Devanagari: चक्र is thought to be a nexus of metaphysical and/or biophysical energy residing in the human body. The New Age movement, and to some degree the distinctly different New Thought movement, have also adopted and elaborated on this theory.

    ya, Avatar is copying squat from naruto.

    No on alot more than Zuko. Both Season 1 and 2 ended how the 1st and 2nd parts of the original trilogy ended. The Guru is Yoda only human and Aang leaving the Guru to help his friends is exactly like Luke leaving Yoda to help his friends....I could give you some more to....

    Also, in most Indian languages (including Sanskrit), Chakra means "wheel". That's why Chakra is described as a wheel in Naruto.

    Also, Vishnu (Who could be described as the most powerful god), uses a weapon known as Sudarshana Chakra, which is basically a spinning disk capable of destroying anything in its path.
