    I simply cant see azula as a true master for the same reason i cant see aang as a true master, they just dont have enough expierience.?? If i had to pick the single best airbender in the show ever i would actually say monk gyotso, or one of the other elders.?? The blue flame merely means she puts out more chi at once than the others, not that shes better.

    Azula isn't a real master but she is a prodigy and she knows quite alot of advance stuff for her age.

    But if Azula isn't a master and Iroh is I wonder how strong that guy is he never uses his real attacks just minor ones and they still own.

    1st off Jeong let him walk through the fire wall.?? Second, your way is stupid because your disallowing any other true master from competing.?? Currently we only know of three true firebending masters, Iroh, Ozai, and Jeong.?? Under your theory your eliminating the only competition.?? We only saw Bumi fight once, the same number of times we saw jeong fight, so under your theory we have to take him out as well.?? Therefore Toph is the best.?? We only saw pakku get in a real fight once, although i think he was holding back here so we only saw him at full force once, while battling the fire nation invasion.?? Therefore he too is gone and we're down to katara as water bending master.?? Even if we've nvr seen them fight we can gauge their power in our own opinions.?? Also, the fact that we've seen Iroh lose knocks him down a peg, we've nvr seen the other two lose. (dont say it was because he was distracted because once again i state that distraction is a weakness)

    Your way is blind and without any valid points.??You can't say someone is a better fighter than someone else if you've never seen them fight. Out of Iroh, Jeong, and Ozai Iroh is the only one that we have seen fight using his bending. Until we see the other two fight they can't be included because we don't know what they bring to the tabel. Now unlike Bumi and Pakku we actually saw them fight that's why they're valid. Ozai and Jeong never did.

    well currently Azula is the strongest Firebender...c'mon who else in the show has used blue fire? even Jeong Jeong's was basic orange...but Toph to me is the best Earthbender...she took down 6 strong Earthbenders single handed...what have we seen from Bumi? well he held his own until his own attack backfired...both have lost(tied?) to Aang...but Bumi has only fought against Aang and no one else...he said he was the most powerful but that seemed more like a prideful boast


    Yeah, but can Toph earthbend with just her chin?

    That's not true, we saw jeong fight once.?? He wasnt too aggresive but he managed to stop all those guards.?? Your just wiping out irohs competion.?? If Ozai wasnt the best why would Roku be so sure that he's the only one who can beat aang.?? Why wouldn't he tell aang that he should be worried about Ozai??and Iroh, that both are powerful benders that could stop him from fulfilling his mission.

    What do you define as a fight?Jeong just did a little??disappearing act that doesn't count as a fight because he was runnig away. And when Aang faces Ozai he'll probably be juiced up on comet power and his skill won't really matter since he'll have uber-bending.

    And once again until one of these two are in a fight they can't be counted.

    if we go by who we've seen fighting for extended time...its

    Firebending: Azula(she's made Zuko look like a fool, he didn't land a single blow on her, and well she regained victory against Iroh, in a moment of weakness, PLUS she held her own against Aang and he's the Avatar)

    Waterbending: Master Pakku(Katara's fought well a couple times but Pakku showed some outstanding moves against the firenation tanks, plus he has a victory vs. Katara, although she wasn't as good then as she is now)

    Earthbending: Toph (took down 6 strong Earthbenders single handed)

    Airbending: Aang(by default)

    can you really argue that list? maybe Pakku is questionable but i feel its no contest with Azula

    Well Iroh is a true master but Azula if she lives long enough she'll surpass Iroh.

    Lol. Aang winning by default. I found it funny.
    I think Avatar Roku was most powerful. Does he count?

    Ooh, in my fanfic, I have this chick named Kai who's this earth bender, she is straight up kick ass! Almost better than Toph.
    But Toph is the most kick ass earth bender there is, so she's second, I guess.

    Even if he's still part of the Avatar spirit he's still dead and thus he doesn't.

    King Bumi could beat Toph because he think out side of the box. He could find a way to beat her; like using rocks to keep him in the air so she can't see him. if he didn't use something cheap like that it would be close.

    ?????? Aang is an airbending master. That is why he has the tattoos. The tattoos are only given to master airbenders. He is supposedly the youngest airbending master ever.
