I was just thinking, if Anng is the last airbender then wouldnt the avatar cycle eventually be broken???After and the avatar would be born into water, then earth, then fire??and eventually end up back to air, but if theres none left then?? will the avatar??cease to exist?

You aren't the first person to think this...and also not the first to make a thread about it either...but you're right Aang is the last Airbender but Aang may have children someday...and they'll have children...and by the time Aang dies THEN a new Avatar will be born into the Water Tribe,??when he or she dies an??Earth Kingdom Avatar, then??Fire Nation, and back into Air again...that's a good couple generations of the sons and daughters of Aang to spread that Airbender dna (part of bending is genetics after all ya know) so I'm thinkin' no the Avatar cycle won't be broken

I've had suspicions for most of the Book of Earth as to whether or not Aang is currently the only airbender alive now.

Is aang the last airbender? I'll just sum up what I have learn from all the other post just like this one.
1. There no proof he is the last airbender, the title of the show is not evidence, since for one the title does not imply aang is the last airbender in other language translation of the show: for example in spanish the show's title is "Avatar: the legend of aang" (in spanish of course). Second the title could just be plain wrong, it would not void the show. If there are airbenders left in hiding somewhere then the problem of rebuilding the air nation is solved.
2. There is the camp that thinks that aang is the last airbender and bending is genetic thus aang better get doing it like they do on the discovery channal.
3. There is the camp that thinks aang is the last airbender and bending is regional-spiritual, then any people that move into native air nomad land (like the temples) and practice air nomad traditions (say like gliding) might start having air bending children.
4. The writers might never explain this, and it will be open question forever.

i want there to be some airbenders in hiding and over the past 100 years they have been re-building their nation and are ready to fight the fire nation! i doubt it will ever happen but i feel really sorry for Aang cos he is by himself!

Huh, this thread man. Ah well, uh actually it has been confirmed that all air nomads were benders. I don't know where that "moving in" thing came from, but being Nomads who you'know, station in temples 50 stories above sea level, I don't think they were open for new members or whatever. As for those recurring topic thingies, not bad but there's plenty more where that ah you get the point.

There's still the question of the tornado that took down the GAang in the swamp, I dont think theres ever been an explanation for that, it could have been an airbender

It was the swamp that made the tornado. Or perhaps that one tree in particular.

Apparently there are actually air benders in the East and West temples, don't know if it is true but that's what I've heard

Was that ever actually confirmed? It could have just been the swamp I guess, but how does a tree make a tornado? It's not like we ever saw the swamp doing anything else like that... other than the one branch hittin the bird

It would be cool to see an airbending avatar being born into the EK people occupying the Northern Air Temple.

I was actual thinking about this question yesterday and answered it myself within seconds. lol Aang will have kids someday and then they will make more and more Airbenders over the generations.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF THEM ALL! the arrow shall be explained
probably the war would be over by book 4

the arrow has already been explained by the creators of the show. it means that you are a master airbender. (i don't care if you were using sarcasm on that one)??also, no one is sure yet (not even the creators) if there will be a book 4. the war will definitely end in book 3 since that's the length of the show originally
