    Well if he dies and there are no airbenders left, an animal can teach a human to airbend before the cycle gets back to being the airbender again

    Honestly, I think Appa might be an airbender. I also believe that Air bison were the first airbenders.??Think about it:

    They are born with arrows on their head, similar to the arrows that an airbender recieves upon becoming a??master

    Most,??if not all, animals that can fly have bone masses that are lighht in comparison to their body weight. Air bison are really heavy, and have no wings.

    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

    "Thats EXACTLY what i thought!!! hes gonna have bsabies which are going to have the avatar DNA. so.......

    I agree with you. That would make sense that Appa is an airbender

    I'm pretty sure the bisons taught or inspired the first air nomads to airbend.?? The bison are born with the arrow on their heads and a master airbender gets an arrow tattoo on their heads as a symbol of that feat.?? Anyway, I like the idea of there being an under water hiding place near or under the Eastern Air Temple.?? That would explain why there are no other bodies besides Gyatso's and how such a powerful bender could have been defeated.?? That could also explain how they don't know that the Avatar has returned since it would probably be quite difficult to find out news without revealing that they were still alive and in hiding.?? Just a theory.

    The other explanation as to why there are no other bodies could be that the firenation captured everyone else in hopes of finding the Avatar and took them all to the firenation or the Western Air Temple where they became prisoners.?? We have never seen or heard anything about the Western Air Temple.?? Which leads me to believe that it's probably under firenation control and that it may be used as a prison establishment for airbenders and who ever else.?? I think it's an interesting and even a plausible idea, in my opinion.

    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!


    I really hope for this too. I REALLY REALLY REEEEEALLLLLY want this to happen. Aside from that though. I dont think The fire nation Couldve destroyed the Air Nomads for these reasons.... 1. You cant annihlate an entire nation there are always stragglers. 2. The Air temples could not have been the only settlements. 3. The nomads knew war was coming so they might have prepared. 4. The fire nation couldnt have attacked all 4 temples at once so there was warning. 5. During the battles, the monks would make the children leave while others engaged the soldiers. 6. Some could have hid. 7. Finally there is no evidence of genocide. The temples are pretty much intact. No scorch marks, collapsed buildings, the fire nation would probably be more messy. And unless they burned the bodies, Gyastos skeleton is the only remains left. Its possible that when the fire nation attacked the temples, most of the monks had fled and only a few remained.

    P.S. the tornado would indicate survivors, and I also think anng and appa could teach others to airbend because they did learn from animals

    ???? Ummmm.... when katara says air in the beginning/start of the show.... it is aang making his mini tornado that he creates by twisting on the spot in episode 16 (the deserter) to save katara from the fire amgician using her as a gimmic in his show.

    Think about it: They're called "Air Nomads". Nomads traveled around, following food, resorces, etc. and seldom if ever settled down. Now, while the monks stayed at the Air Temples, who's to say there weren't a few dozen who were living out in the Earh Kingdom or Water Tribes? Maybe even Fire Nation? Maybe they escaped their more stationary conrads fate?

    And, in the TCG, there's somebody called Monk Fitso or something, and he supposedly turned traitor to the other monks, and was living in the F.N. until he died. Who's to say he didn't have kids, who had kids, who had kids, who were Airbenders?

    well if Aang were to marry someone...even if it isn't Katara...maybe his offspring would be airbenders also. I am not sure. But if it says he is the Last airbender then maybe he will be. But we have to remember that the title of the show is talking about just the time of Aang and not after the war or during the time he gets married or has kids.

    No one have mentioned this but maybe his people are in hiding until the war is over.?? During medival times, the women and children will go to a hidden stronghold, while the men fight the war.?? The Airbenders are more spiritual that all of the other nations and that's why everyone is an airbender in the Air Kingdom.?? They are most likely in hiding, since when they discovered Aang's old mentor and the bones of his enemy but very few remains of the other airbenders.?? Where are the remains of the AirBenders in the Northern/ Southern Air Temple.?? They are in hiding or scattered amongst the nation vowing to keep their bending a secret.

    I really don't think Aang is the last Airbender... I think that there are more in hiding... He is the last KNOWN Airbender...

    I think Aang is the last air bender but not the last air nomad.

    The "Last Airbender" could just be what Aang is known as, not necessarily a true statement...

    Would the world really need another avatar anyway? Maybe the cycle will stop after Aang goes into the "Avatar State" to save the world or something.
