    Uhh.... Just scroll up a little theres some pictures of the difference between lightning and blue fire


    Yeah no one doubts that she bends Lightening ... we're just saying she can Also Bend Blue Fire .... Basically she's hella good and we all need to bow down to her greatness

    Oh my sweet Lord I haven't checked the thread since I last posted yesterday, but it seems you people just won't read what is against your beliefs. I for one am 18 years old and I like watching cartoons because I see no way they are different from movies and personally movies are just way too lame(most of them at least) and I just like watching cartoons, grew up on them I guess. After reading the posts from today I'm pretty sure that at least a couple of people that post here are kids it's one thing to come with solid arguments/theories like actual physics or maybe even wacky theories like mine with the Tai-Chi. But most of the definitive statements you guys have made are just freakin me out. After I think??a few people have already said that fire is plasma as well as lightning .. you still don't understand the concept. Now carefully read what JonathanWolf wrote or some others(VincentMagius,tc2r or even KilalaRose) and pick a side if you really want to pick sides. If you read what these 4 ppl wrote you'll have a pretty clear idea on everything. Now if I see another person posting some silly thing like subdivisions to bending and other stuff I will definetly freak (not that i haven't already) [Vine-Bending "I waterbend the WATER in the Vines", Ice is frozen water, lightning is a hotter much more agitated for of plasma and fire is plasma too, sand is little particles of earth]

    Oh and @JonathonWolf the original question was "How does Azula bend blue fire?" and the answer to that is that blue FIRE is FIRE in itself .. just a different type/different characteristics. And I did agree somewhere in my posts with the "sustained heat" thing She doesn't shoot plasma like the sun has, it's just hotter than usual fire, but it still takes a while to melt a metal. Before a metal turns red and stars actually melting it has to be heated intensely. For everybody else that did not get that idea just look at a clip with a smith smelting shields/swords or stuff. Notice how the metal is left in hot charcoal for a long while before it turns red and it can be worked(hit with a hammer repeatedly) and brought to a more refined shape. Now think how "melted" is that metal if it requires so many blows from a big hammer to make a few little dents in it.

    I'm through responding to posts by anyone else but JonathonWolf,VincentMagius,tc2r,KilalaRose and whoever else has something intelligent to say there were others but I can't write you all now can I ?

    I had an idea last night regarding the whole, why can fire break throught rock debate. The argument came down to how much force was necessary to break the rocks and how that fire would only be able to melt them or singe but not break them.

    So my thought was this, maybe firebending can be made into more of an explosion than simply a line of fire. This would be left up to the bender, but it could help explain why sometimes, the fire can be deflected and how at other times it seems to have more of a push then a burn.

    obviously the sub-divisions, at least the ones I was talking about, have characteristics of the original Elemental Bending but the point and the reason I brought it up was that they are not EXACTLY the same and I thought it cool,?? that only certain BENDERS can do, or choose to specialize with them. Heck in the case of the sand benders Sand Might be the only thing they can Bend, just some food for thought is all

    Water and the Healing Benders, and the vine Bender

    Earth and the Sand Benders

    Fire and the Lightening Benders

    and I also stated it was just a theory that they could break down in sub-divisions and I'm not spouting this stuff off as fact I just wanted people to think about it

    @ Lachlaan:?? Thanks for the vote of respect.?? Yes, the original question was how she bends blue fire.?? The huge argument was started by why the shields of the Kyoshi Warriors didn't melt when hit by a ball of blue fire.?? The former is harder than the latter to determine, but my knowledge of martial arts and understanding of chi helps.?? I still stand by the hypothesis someone else came up with that it is because she has mastered her breathing.?? Her being a prodigy just means that she learns quickly and easily.?? Mastering the techniques is because she's an obsessive personality.?? She could have settled for being able to bend regular fire, but she has to be the best and always in control.?? Which is represented by the blue flame.
