    My Theory:

    The Gaang will meet up with the DOBS War Prisoners. Zuko will do something incredibly heroic to save Hakoda (Katara's Dad) and all the other water tribe men. Katara will realise he's a good person, they'll kiss and fall in love, Katara will reject Aang. Aang will see that Zuko and Katara are really happy together, and Aang just wants Katara to be happy. So Aang won't try to mess up what they've got, and he'll finally let go of Katara.

    So now, Aang can go AVATAR STATE!!! He'll get his glow on, defeat the fire lord/henchman and bring peace to the world.

    Thanks for reading ^^

    Sorry, but there's no way in a million years that Katara will just up and kiss Zuko the minute she realizes he's not all bad. Plus Zuko is technically still with Mai. Aang will never again go into the Avatar State because if he did, then what would have been the point of him learning all the elements? He could just enter the Avatar State and then bam, fight's over. I don't think a lot of people would want to see a battle like that after having seen all 61 episodes, just for the sake of Zutara happening, which at this point it's most likely not going to.

    Spacerac is right. that would not make sense at all. If anything, I believe Aang and Katara will get together in the end, + think of "The Fortune Teller", what would have been the point of what happened after Aang saved the village, Sokka quickly saying "Wow, sometimes I forget what a powerful bender that kid is" when earlier aunt woo perdicted she would be with a "Powerful Bender", and what would have been the point of Katara staring at Aang realizing he is "The Powerful Bender"? mabey that does not make sense to anyone, but I thought it did.. think about "The Headband" for gods sake. you all are really blind if you did not see what was happening between them" Think about that.. She likes Aang, she just does not advertise it as much as Aang does, I think they are both just afraid of the rejection if you ask me, I guess I would be too. To love someone but if they say, no. that would hurt, ya know what I am sayin. and clearly Zuko and Mai have a strong relationship, if not Zuko would have just left not sayin anything to Mai, but Zuko and Mai have always liked each other "Book 2 Earth Chapter 7 Zuko Alone". Aang not getting Katara in the end would be like James Bond not getting the girl in the end.

    *check Avatar* (pun intended)

    Katara was still in "shock" (in a good way) after the kiss. Just look at how she responded when Sokka told her they were going under water again.

    Edit: I don't know if it's ok to post links to other sites, but here is a pretty good list (some items are somewhat far-fetched, but you get the point) of "things" that happen between Katara and Aang throughout the series that points to Kataang happening:

    Righty, Right.

    So ive been away from the boards for quite some time now. The reason for that is because Avatar has been in the fridge for a while. BUT NOW>>>>>

    The new trailer ladies and gentleman!

    Like all of you my passion has been awakened and so ( i hope ) this thread!

    So continue speculating.

    Does katara love aang? ( obviously debating as seen in the trailer )

    Cheers!

    Why unfortunately?

    And its not officialy a battle field.
    Its a place for theories and discussion. Not murder and rape. Forum rape that is!

    this really shouldn't be a separate thread. there's already a thread for (theoretically) civilized shipping discussion, and one for angry lambasting between zutara and kataang in particular.

    half of the things listed on that didnt make sense
    a fourth of them were proving that aang likes katara
    the other fourth were small unnoticable things that werent really important.
    why is katara saving aang considered kataang? she had to, what was she gonna do, let him die? if saving him is kataang, then katara saving zuko on appa is zutara

    to answer the original question, yes, of course Katara loves Aang. (2.5 seasons of friendship, adventure, her seeing him as the last hope of the world, etc. didn't just disappear with a hug). How she loves Aang (friend or more) remains to be seen. The only thing we can be certain about from the trailer is that Katara forgives Zuko. The rest is just up to that pot-stirring duo known as Bryke

    There's no way to really know at this point. The kiss scene in the trailer only adds to the confusion.

    For one, we don't even know if that moment really includes the beginning of the kiss; Aang's lips are already touching Katara's when the scene starts, no lean-in or anything.

    For two, Katara's reaction does not make sense unless there is something else going on behind it, as others have said about him possibly telling her about why he didn't master the Avatar state. She showed at least some romantic interest in him in the Headband, and did not resist the kiss in DOBS. So it does not make sense that all of a sudden she decides she doesn't like Aang that way at all and that she shouldn't let him kiss her.

    For three, if they made it obvious in any of the trailers that Katara would eventually reciprocate Aang's love, and didn't cast some doubt on the idea of them being together in the end (by putting the Zutara hug in there for the Zutara fans, for instance, and of course the supposed anti-Kataang kiss) there would be no suspense and it would take a huge chunk of drama out of the rest of the story.

    So, I can't really tell at this point when looking at the evidence, but in my opinion I would say yes she loves him, and if she doesn't already realize she loves him as more than a friend, she will by the end of the show.

    I know one thing, no one's EVER going to agree on anything having to do with Katara and Aang kissing.

    I don't know if anyone's linked this yet, sorry if yes, but I found the link to it from that list of "Kataang moments" BorderBender posted. It's a break down of The DoBS kiss; their confessions, the kiss, the departure, and the ending where Aang gives his speech to the PoWs. I don't totally agree with everything said, but there's a lot in there that does make sense and works well with Aang and Katara's facial and body expressions. Zutarians, try and read this without disregard and look at it from a different perspective; not trying to convert some Kataangers, but I found it very interesting and broken down.

    You have no idea what you've done, bringing this thread back! Now you all shall tremble beneath the power of my super special awesome giant Kataang wall of text and pictures! Mwahaha...

    So, does Katara love Aang back? Most Zutarians say no. "There's no real evidence!" they say. I beg to differ.

    Let's look at just a few instances...shall we?

    She's kissed him on the cheek three times, after CLEARLY flirting with him right before the first one....

    kiss1

    kiss2

    kiss4

    And nobody can forget that crucial moment in "The Fortuneteller" where Katara thinks of Aang as more than a friend for the first time after being reminded of how he's "one powerful bender"....

    zomg

    And then after the whole thing about "letting love lead the way" in CoTL, Katara shows us this obviously NOT unpleased face (don't even try it, Zutarians)....

    NOT unpleased

    And then when Aang began dancing with another girl in TH...the green-eyed monster strikes!

    jealous1

    jealous2

    Then, when Aang DID ask her to dance, she gave him THESE looks when he said, "It's just you and me right now"....

    ddme1

    ddme2

    And then, even through the shock and confusion when Aang kissed her in DoBS, she still closed her eyes and tilted her head down, making her appear to be kissing him back....

    kiss4

    So yep. I'd be willing to bet that the thought that she just might like Aang as a tiny bit more than a friend has crossed her mind at least once.

    it's definitely a well constructed breakdown, but to be honest it's essentially the same speculation and conjecture that's been going on in this argument since dobs aired. it's all perfectly valid speculation, mind you. but it's still jsut speculation.

    i'm noticing quite a bit of that "this expression obviously means this" action going on, as well as a lot of "this is what she's thinking."

    and i still say that whole "she leans into the kiss" thing is a load. her only movement is tilting her head down because aang's shorter than her. looking down =/= leaning forward.
