M'kay, since some may still not get it (from the official site)- " Metal bending: This is a type of bending that only Toph is able to do. She is able to do it because in metal there is always a trace amount of Earth. Usually the amount of earth still in metal is so small that it's undetectable even by the best Earthbenders. But Toph is better than the best Earthbenders -- maybe it's because she is blind and has always used the Earth to see -- or maybe it's just because she is that awesome." She does kickass. (emoticon) Just don't forget that these aren't seperate arts or a special ability (lack of a better word). They're simply applications for already established bending disciplines, plus that whole "everything is connected" thing.??Save airbending, the??true special ability for each element have already been identified.??Oh and Metal Bender? |

toph is the ONLY metalbender. And its just because of how sensitive she is, due to being blind. See avatar website. |

If so, two good earthbenders didn't even know that. Don't think so.

I'd slap nice "as of yet over this." The site clearly indicates that Toph is the only one who can do it. However, if another Earthbender??was her situation, he/she would be able to achieve it as easily as she did. Now, as for the odds of the creators introducing another blind Earthbender this late in the series and basically depriving Toph of her most unique and dominant trait, huh, don't even have to finish.

Toph has a much closer connection to the earth than others, using it as her version of sight. You don't see many others with that kind of affinity. Other benders, if they can do it (which I doubt), would have a FAR more difficult time doing it. Besides, the great benders surely would've tried to overcome this major weakness that the Fire Nation doesn't fail to exploit. And Toph's claim of being the best bender? No need to be taken literally and seriously. Besides, her technique comes from her special relationship, with a little superior skill thrown in. Also, it has never been implied that King Bumi can bend metal. |
