    There's no wayRoku was 58 at his time of death. I expect him to be roughly the same age as Sozin.

    Here's what I copied and pasted from the Avatar page at Nick.com:

    "Fire Lord Sozin: Twelve years after betraying Roku, Sozin began the war by harnessing the power of the comet and wiping out the Air Nomads. After the comet, he lived for twenty more years, fathering Prince Azulon and eventually dying when he was 102-years-old. Some say the comet's power allowed him to live for so long."

    Sozin lived 32 years after Roku died and since he died at 102, that means he was 70 years old during Roku's death. Are we actually to believe that Sozin was 12 years older than Sozin? I'm not buying it. Besides, if you backtrack further, Roku said it was 25 years after their fight before he saw Sozin again. If Roku was 58 when he died, do you really expect me to believe that Roku was 33 years old when he fought Roku? He had grey hair. Who gets that much grey hair at 33?

    There's just no way Roku was 58 years old.

    Errr...no it isn't. Haru isn't even close.

    And the Airbender in the opening credits ISN'T Aang. I used to have a screenshot and you can see the Airbender has a moustache. I don't think it's Gyatso, but it's NOT Aang.

    Water= Pakku

    Earth= Original design for Toph, which also seems to be Roku's earthbending teacher

    Fire= Azula

    Air= Unknown. Not Aang because of the mustache. Not Gyatso becuase he doesn't have the necklace.

    The bender is Roku's earthbending master. This is alluded to several times in the episode.

    they are subtle but many.

    1) when Roku says the training was bitter work.Iconcede it can just refer to kung fu being the translation of bitter work. but when he describes his masterthe description fit toph as well.

    2) The bender in the opening was intended to be toph. Literally he was the first incarnation of toph.

    3) The bender was toph in a previous life. Toph asks if friendships can span generations. This is a metaphorical representation of the original character design's intended use.

    4) Zuko's inevitable friendship with aangmirrors this idea

    just a theory.

    If you search well enough (assuming that my research is true)... the waterbender is master pakku (obviously), the earthbender was origianlly supposed to be Toph in the first episodes, the firebender is none other than firebending prodigy, Azula and the airbender - mostl likely aang tell me if im wrong....
