You guys do realize this, right?

Did this ever occur to you?

    So, you know how Aang is the last airbender in existence, and there won't be anyone to teach any future Avatars airbending?

    Well, there are two ways I can think of to get around that.

    First Method

    Assuming Katara and Aang have kids when they grow up, their kids' genes will be half airbender, half waterbender. Now since there's no such thing as someone who can bend two elements, that means they have a chance of producing airbenders as well as waterbenders. Their airbending children can learn from their father (Aang) and go on to marry other people from other nations, also having a chance of producing airbending children. By the time Aang dies, there will be enough airbenders to teach the next Avatar how to airbend.

    Or, if that does not seem plausible to you, or if you don't support Kataang, there is another way it could happen.

    Second Method

    Remember how each bending art was learned from a different nonhuman thing?

    Airbending = Sky Bison

    Waterbending = The Moon

    Firebending = Dragons

    Earthbending = Badgermoles

    The first human benders taught themselves to bend by studying these sources. Theoretically, this also means that almost anybody can learn to bend. So, Aang could give airbending lessons to nonbenders of other countries by lending them Appa. Eventually, airbending will be a common bending art once again, so even after Aang's death, there will be airbenders to teach future Avatars.

    Does this make sense to any of you?

    actually there is a possible 3rd option

    same way that Aang took away the firebending away from Ozai

    he could give airbending to the people of the northern air temple

    the difference would be that these airbenders might not be monks

    I'm sure they will wait until a little bit later to have kids. Unless its one of those cultures where people marry and have children young...

    I seem to remember Bryke saying that Aang was, unarguably, the LAST Airbender. So it is very possible that there just will never be another be another airbender ever again.

    But aside fromt that, now that Aang can just take people's bending away from them, he might be able to turn people into airbenders too.

    Nothing is impossible, just force something to happen. But, Aang is going to live longer.

    But to /teach/ airbending? All because you have a gift doesn't mean you can use it.
