Summary
Highlights
A character named Juan playfully challenges Aang's 'all life is sacred' mantra, citing instances where Aang's actions led to unintentional harm, such as Chin the Conqueror's fall and the drowning of Fire Nation soldiers, while Aang continuously denies responsibility.
Juan shifts the focus to Avatar Yangchen, revealing her past controversial actions, including blackmailing people, using the Northern Air Temple as a prison, and allegedly causing the death of a combustion bender, much to Aang's shock and Yangchen's denial.
Korra expresses frustration over persistent online debates comparing Avatars and arguing about who would win in a fight, suggesting that such negativity will continue even with future Avatars, while Aang tries to reassure her.
Korra playfully attempts to make Aang admit Kyoshi would beat Roku in a fight, highlighting Kyoshi's intimidating presence. Later, Kyoshi is summoned and stands guard for Yangchen during an argument with Juan.
Juan accuses Yangchen of having no real friends, only acquaintances, due to her overwhelming responsibilities as the Avatar, and challenges her to name someone who knew her intimately as a person, not just the Avatar.
Korra confronts Yangchen about her two-week disappearance, having physically entered the Spirit World to find her. Yangchen explains the core of Air Nomad culture as being able to 'just sit' and be with oneself.
The Avatars discuss past actions and Juan criticizes Aang for not killing Fire Lord Ozai and Yakone, suggesting that these choices led to future problems. Kyoshi defends Aang by mentioning the lion turtle's intervention, while Yangchen expresses her own regret about not being able to help Kuruk.
Yangchen admits the difficulties of being the Avatar, especially after death. She discusses missing a past 'partner' (later changing it to 'companion') and expresses regret over her impact on Kuruk, leading to a discussion about their individual mistakes and legacies.
