Before we start, I want to answer a comment.
Comment from Username: EmperorWolfgang
"You were right, Suki's name was in fact mentioned in her debut episode. I rewatch this weekend on Netflix on subtitles, Sokka did, in fact, say her name when he went to apologize for the way he behave towards the Kyoshi Warriors."
In all fairness, I probably overheard Suki's name when I was writing the chapter, and for the longest time until you mention that her name was debuted in Book Water, I thought for many years I thought Suki's name debut in Book Earth, title Avatar Day.
Then I again, I did grow up watching Avatar the Last Airbender in Tagalog Dub back in the Philippines before I got a DVD of the series in English Dub, I was surprised that Aang's name was pronounced different in English because back in the Tagalog Dub, Aang's name was pronounced as "Ang".
Thanks again for mentioning that Suki's name debut was in the same episode when she debuted.
Now we can start that chapter.
Book Water
The King of Omashu
"Water.
Earth.
Fire.
Air.
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world."
1:40 - 1:58 (Remember the audience doesn't see the title, it creates mystery.)
The episode starts in a new land. The audience learns that Team Avatar is now in a different part of the Earth Kingdom. It shows Aang showing the siblings and the audience the city of Omashu. The water tribe siblings and the whole audience were surprised to see the city itself. A city on top of a mountain, with four smaller mountains on it and its bend surrounded by a rock wall.
Yaoyorozu was surprised to see the magnificent city that she has never seen before, the sight just stuns her jaws drop. "It's such a beautiful city. I don't think there is anything like it in our world."
Yosetsu of 1B replies to her mark. "Actually, Yaoyorozu, some places in Europe have similar cities just like Omashu."
Yaoyorozu just blinks not knowing such info. "Oh, I may have forgotten about that or it's something that I haven't read? Anyways I didn't know there were places similar?" she shakes her head. "You know, it doesn't matter, I want to give my thanks to you." she pause trying to remember the name of the boy who saved her life back in the training camp after being attacked by the Chainsaw Nomu. Now it finally clicked, like it was a little bulb. "I remember now, you saved my life back in camp… I want to say…"
"Yosetsu." Yaoyorozu said his first name believe it was his family name. Saying his first name, the boy couldn't help but blush that the beautiful raven-haired beauty knows his name.
He tries to play it cool by smiling at her and thanking her.
'She knows my name.' Yosetsu thought imagining himself in victory and enjoying the wonderful bliss that his crush said his first name.
(In canon, Yosetsu Awase has a crush on Momo Yaoyorozu)
1:58 - 2:11
The Students and their guests were excited to see the city of Omashu. The same city where Aang used to visit his old friend, named Bumi.
Katara and Sokka stopped the young Airbender. Saying that they cannot just have him walk in because of Aang's status as Avatar.
Tenya Ida agrees with the sibling. "They are right, you don't want the word to spread like what happen in Kyoshi." he said, "Aang needs to disguise himself."
The League of Villains heard what Four Eyes said. They know what it is like to be hunted down by the Heroes. They would have laughed seeing that Team Avatar is doing the same thing that the league of villain would do. They would need to hide their identity in case of civilians recognize them and report them to the authorities.
Midoriya, Todoroki, Kirishima, Ida, and Yaoyorozu did the same, They disguises themselves when they to rescue Bakugo from the League of Villains. Sure Yaoyorozu could have just made the disguise with her quirk, but no. little miss Richie Rich has to flex her family money and bought the clothes.
But it was worth it because they get to see Tough guy Midoriya and Pervy Ida personas. Hey Honeys, If you want to play disguises and personas, you should learn it from the best, Roger Smith from American Dad, Who knows Midoriya could have been Ricky Spanish 3.0.
2:11 - 2:21
The students and the villains laugh at Aang's disguise, by using Appa's extra fur, they were able to give Aang a wig and facial hair.
When Eijiro stopped laughing he has one comment. "At least our disguise is a lot better than Aang's disguise, back when we went to rescue Bakugo." he chuckled. Bakugo got angry when Kirishima mention the time when he was kidnapped.
"I got to say our disguise was better than Aang's disguise. Midoriya tried to be tough like a gangster." Yaoyorozu joked.
"H-hey I can be tough," Midoriya claims to be.
"Really, ribbit, say the word Boobies without blushing then." Tsuyu dares the greenette. The whole of 1A and 1B stare at Midoriya.
"FINE! B-BO-BOO-BOO-BOOB-BOOBIIIIEE– I can't." he said showing his red face. The students laughed at Midoriya.
2:21 - 2:33
The students laugh at Aang pretending to be an old man.
Tenya too laugh. "That's so funny and true, he is 112-years-old." he laughs again.
"You know it's not funny if you explain the joke ida." Tsuyu said. Making Ida stop laughing.
2:33 - 3:05 (The Cabbage Merchant's debut)
On their walk to Omashu, Aang mentioned that the city has the most friendly people that could ever meet.
Until they spotted the Omashu guard and a Cabbage Merchant.
The guard told the Merchant that Omashu won't allow his business into Omashu because his cabbages are rotten. Then the man demonstrate his bending and caught everyone's surprise to see a new element.
Oh, and to see a guard tossing the Cabbages like it was garbage.
Izuku couldn't help be feel excited. "Wow, we finally get to see Earthbending." He said as he starts to write a new page for Earthbending.
"I wonder what potentials were going to see Earthbending, like can they only bend rocks or can they also bend other materials such as gemstones such as Rubies, Crystals, or Diamond? Or is it limited only to rock? Speaking of Earthbending can a single Earthbender can bend something big or would it require more than one bender to bend something huge or—"
"Deku you're mumbling again." Uraraka said.
"Oops, may bad." Izuku hears laughter and it was coming from his classmates.
Sero was the one who answered him. "We're just laughing towards the cabbage merchant."
Ida heard what Sero said and he didn't like what he's classmate said. "Are you seriously laughing at the man's misfortune."
"Ida it really funny, Poker can you please hit replay please."
The replay did happen and show the man's misfortune.
My Cabbages!
Sero pointed at the screen, that it's really funny!" He continues to laugh along with his classmates.
Ida is shocked to learn what his classmate said about why his fellow classmates, Hero-In-Training both 1A and 1B are laughing at the Merchant's misfortune. "I can't believe my fellow Hero-In-Training is laughing at the misfortune of on salesman!"
Not even his words reach the ears of his fellow students. He went back to watch the show.
Until he hears it again in his head this time.
My Cabbages!
From imagining the poor Cabbage Merchant he couldn't help but chuckle under his breath.
3:05 - 3:12
From the laughter, they forgot Aang and his friends are coming to enter the city. Now seeing the most friendly city, is now not so nice city. It shows that the Team Avatar is nervous.
That made the villains laugh this time. "Yeah just keep smiling." said Twice.
3:12 - 3:39
The Heroes and students were first worried that the guard would hurt the team with his Earthbending. The situation flips over when Aang really plays his old man persona saying that his business is his alone, no one else is.
They laughed even harder when Aang gave his fake name to the guard. Even Katara played along.
"Bonzu Pippinpaddleopsicopolis the Third? That's the name you're going for?" Mr. Compress said. Sighing that his villain name is different from his real name, and Aang is going with that name.
"Katara is going with the name too, June? Pineapple? Apocalypse? Gah! I cannot even pronounce it right! Bleh!" Himiko said in frustration. "At least mine is easy to say, the same with Dabi, Twice, and Spinner."
"Hey, I would have gone with a better kick-ass name for myself besides Twice. Such as Raging Sex Machine!" Twice said striking a power pose.
"Why would you— You know what never mind, I don't even want to know?" Spinner said.
The students were shocked by the fake name, a name that is hard to pronounce.
They now just wonder if the name would have worked?
3.39 - 3:51
"The name and disguises worked!" Everyone in the audience was shocked that the fake name and disguises work and they were now allowed to enter the city.
"Welcome to Omashu, Pippinpaddleopsicopolis Family!"
Kyoka was stunned by what she just heard. "Kaminari, how did you pronounce their name correctly without messing up!?"
Denki has his eyes widen and wonder the same thing.
"I don't know?" he said.
3:51 - 4:05
They were shocked again to see that the guard stopped Sokka.
At first, they thought they did something wrong that could end up being kicked out of the city.
It turns out the guard was very convinced that Aang was in fact an elderly man, and asked Sokka to carry Aang's bag.
They laugh that Aang played along.
4:05 - 4:14
Everyone watched as the wall of the gate was opened by Earthbending.
Izuku writes down what Earthbending can do and wonders what else they can do, from moving a rock, now moving a huge chunk of Earth like it was nothing.
4:14 - 4:23
Some laugh to notice that Aang hides Momo on his wig.
Yaoyorozu, scoffs, not liking the lemur who shares the same name as her.
She feels a chill feeling that something humiliating is to come. Not to Team Avatar but to herself.
Feeling stressed she summons from her tray a bowl of apples.
4:23 - 4:44
Team Avatar finally enters the city of Omashu.
Seeing the city up close it was an Earth Kingdom Utopia. The city itself was different from Japan or I-island.
Aang describes the city that in their day-to-day lives, Earthbending is used everywhere, he also describes the unique delivery system that they use Earthbending to bring up the delivery and using gravity itself to send it to the customer.
Seeing Omashu, beside the city's architecture and the land itself. The laws and how they live are different from their world.
Back in their world, there was the law of illegal quirk use. In which the law says that anyone without of licence cannot use their quirks. In public or in private areas and private businesses. Such as inside their own home, a public area such as a park or shopping centre. They are not allowed to use their quirk.
As for Private Businesses, a good example is the Uraraka Construction. Ochaco has the best quirk in the work of construction but she cannot help her family unless she has a Hero License. True, she now has a provisional license, but that license has limits. The Provisional license helps her and her fellow classmates to help such as helping civilians from villain attacks.
A Pro Hero License means she could help out her family and have a job as a hero or sidekick.
Now seeing the City of Omashu and seeing that Earthbenders can fully use their bending without a license feels different from where they're used to.
Now really thinking about it, If Uraraka was born in this world with her parents as Earthbenders and still have the life of construction workers, I think they'll be fine Financially, while in their world she still has to wait two more years to graduate, in which she wants to help her family now. Sure she could wait until she becomes a Hero after graduation, but in this world, she could help her family now.
To the villains.
Seeing that this City, heck probably the whole nation, or even the whole world. Allows bending to be used in everyday life without a license that says you're allowed to use your powers sounds like paradise.
If they lived in that world their entire lives would be different. With their quirks or reborn with bending instead. They believe their lives would have been better and different.
For someone like Toga, if she was born in this world, as a bender or as a non-bender her entire life would be different and not chaotic but quiet. She wouldn't need to drink blood anymore. Drinking blood for her is like a person who needs food, water, and oxygen to live. That is what drinking blood is to her, she doesn't want to drink blood because she wants to, but because she needs to.
Drinking blood for Toga is her need to live because of her quirk.
But not everyone sees the idea of using bending without a license as a good thing.
(More of the discussion later in the interlude. For now, let's continue the show.)
4:44 - 5:26
The Next scene was a flashback to 100 years ago.
It shows it was Aang and his old friend who lived in Omashu, a boy named Bumi.
The Flashback itself was short.
It had Bumi asking Aang what he sees?
Aang's response was a logical response similar to the answers of the students, which they said was, The mailing system.
Until Bumi says a quote that Izuku wrote down in his notebook after making a page for Bumi.
"Instead of seeing that they wanted you to see, You gotta open your brain for the possibilities."
It was a great quote from Aang's friend. Izuku keeps it in mind, it could be helpful when it comes to Hero work.
When Bumi said that a mailing system isn't just a mailing system but the World's best super slide.
The students chuckle when Aang called his friend a mad genius.
The flashback ended with the two old friends sliding down on the super slide.
To Kosei, he was happy with what Aang did with his friend Bumi back in the past. He wishes Bumi peace in the afterlife.
5:26 - 5:31
The Audience has their eyes open to eye what team Avatar is going to do.
"AANG! DON'T YOU DARE GO SLIDING DOWN ON THE MAILING SYSTEM!" Tenya yelled to the Avatar hoping Aang would listen to Tenya even though they're in two different universes.
5:31 - 6:06
Tenya throws his hand into the air because Team Avatar went sliding down.
The students and some villains cheered to the super slide and saw how fast they were going.
Until a second mailing cart went sliding down and it was carrying sharp weapons pointed at the team.
"Avatar Shish Kabob time!" Himiko said, making the villains laugh. Except for Spinner
Team Avatar was able to escape the slide but they were still in the cart, Everyone wonders how would this chaos end?
6:06 - 6:13
The next scene shows Omashu's army getting ready to be sent to combat soon. The leader says it's their job to be ready for anything.
However, they were off-guard when Team Avatar crashed the party, and the screen paused to show a funny screenshot of Team Avatar either in danger or they're having fun.
The audience laughs when the screen decided to show that funny screenshot, but the villains laugh harder to see trained soldiers being caught off guard by pre-teens.
6:13 - 6:24
"Yes Aang do something, stop this ride!" Tenya agreed with Katara.
6:24: - 6:28
"No! Not like that!"
6:28 - 6:57
The slide continues to go down but even faster because of Aang's Airbending.
Until they see another cart in front of them.
The students scream in unison with team Avatar.
They were glad to see that the Earthbender use his bending to push the cart away.
Until a new Cart appears.
The students scream again with Team Avatar.
The villains are enjoying the screams of Team Avatar and the future heroes.
The team crush and sent them flying, but Aang cleverly use his airbending to send the three of them back on the cart having them slide down on rooftops.
6:57 - 7:07
The next screen shows a man in his home or store, polishing his huge vase. Yaoyorozu awws to the vase and it was beautiful. She wonders why the big screen shows this scene?
Until the universe gives her the answer and the wonderful vase gets destroyed by Team Avatar. Seeing the now destroyed vase made her really furious.
7:07 - 7:13
In the next scene, the team Avatar crushes into someone's home.
When they exited there was an animal fighting with Momo.
The students laugh and imagine the same thing to happen to Momo Yaoyorozu. That made the girl hide her face from embarrassment.
7:13 7:25
My Cabbages!
The ride finally ended when the cart went crashing down to the Cabbage Merchant's cart of cabbages.
The students and villains laugh at the poor man's misfortune to his beloved cabbages.
The Heroes themselves are trying their hardest not to laugh at the man's misfortune. Sadly they can't help it. They eventually went laughing too.
7:25 - 7:28
"No, just no Aang. Can you be quiet for once?" Tenya said, frustrated with what the Avatar did throughout the mailing system. "Now they're going to be arrested! What's the next thing? Execution!?"
Seeing the frustration from the 1A class president, his fellow classmates can tell that he really doesn't like how Aang plays out the Super Slide.
For Kosei, he didn't like Ida's comment towards Aang, sure what they did was wrong, like super wrong but that doesn't mean… Now seeing the situation and trying to defend his idol, he really cannot see how would Aang and his friends get out of this stitch?
7:28 - 7:43
The next scene shifts into the palace of Omashu, and the one on the throne was an elderly King in green.
The Students and the Heroes are surprised to see that their shenanigans were a major crime. A crime that is enough to take them to the King himself.
"You gotta be kidding me! They did no crime! Why take them to the King, what happens to community service, or banishment!? Please, your lordship, take me instead! Put me behind bars! Please spare the Avatar!" Kosei begs the king for his mercy.
"Tsuburaba, please control yourself, please have the King have his say first." Vlad King said.
The villains laugh that Team Avatar, the heroes of this show got themselves arrested.
The Heroes, including Vlad King are disappointed as Team Avatar with their charges of the number of property damages, Something the heroes like to avoid and something that they teach their students.
7:43 - 8:01
The Heroes heard team Avatar charges for vandalism, travelling under false pretenses, and malicious destruction of cabbages.
Some of the villains laugh such as Toga, Dabi, Twice, Compress, and Tomoura laugh so much cheering to see their heads cut off for each cabbage that they destroyed. For Spinner, he was against the idea and hoped team Avatar would be let go. If Aang and his old friend did the same thing 100 years ago, why can't the king let them go for this time?
The students did like the Cabbage Merchant suggesting death for his cabbages, for once they didn't feel bad for laughing to what happened to his cabbages.
Izuku wrote a new page for the Cabbage Merchant, believing he would return later on in the series.
Kosei on the other hand really hates the Cabbage Merchant. "I hope your cabbages go to Hell." he mutters under his breath, flipping the bird at the cabbage merchant.
now they wait for the King's judgement.
8:01 - 8:12
Waiting for his judgement.
Aizawa and others notice that the King looked at Aang twice. Not sure why, but they have a Feeling he knows who Aang really is.
8:12 - 8:18
"Uh?" The whole Audience is confused about the King's decision, they were expecting the king would want to imprison them or let them go? But they didn't expect to order his subjects to throw them a feast.
"What the Hell! I'm Fucking confused, they have a lot of criminal charges and your answer is to feed them? Like what the fuck?" Togaru Kamikiri said.
"I'm confused too." Hiryu said agreeing with his classmate. "Sensei, as much as I want Team Avatar to be set free, should the King should have arrested them for the small crimes?"
Vlad King took a moment to talk, cause he too is confused as fuck. "The King should, but I notice that he looked at Aang twice like he knows Aang is the Avatar? I think there is a reason why he wanted the feast and not just because he's hungry." Vlad King said.
They continue to watch to see what the king is planning to do with Team Avatar.
8:18 - 8:47
The next scene was in fact the feast.
Looking at the feast it wasn't much, well in all honestly they were expecting something big with a lot more food, and maybe desserts. Like the feast in the Beauty and the Beast movie when they did a musical number of Be Our Guest. But this feast wasn't bad, the chicken did look good and it wasn't crispy fried chicken, but baked.
Kosei heard a fact about Aang, that the Avatar himself is a vegetarian. Kosei does eat vegetables but it is hard for him to convert into a vegetarian because of the delicious taste of meat.
Izuku wrote down that Aang is a vegetarian.
All in All, they all agree with Katara that the king was a bit, Looney.
8:47 - 9:09
When the King sat down on his chair to eat, he asked Aang a question about where he was from?
The student hoped Aang would give them a clever answer, like his from the Earth Kingdom visiting the City of Omashu. That would at least be a convincing answer, but it wasn't the case because Aang's answer was goofy.
"Kangaroo Island! That is so lame there is no chance that's true! Like whoopie doo, I can do it too because I'm from the Earth Kingdom city of Neito and I happened to be King of Neito." Neito said. Making some of his classmates' laugh.
Jorota chuckled a bit, he would never chuckle at Monama's mockery of a joke but he had to admit it was funny. "Aang should just say, he's from Kyoshi visiting the Earth Kingdom city of Omashu, at least that is a half-truth mixed with a lie." He said.
Some didn't laugh when Sokka laughed, the punchline from the King wasn't funny, nor corny.
9:09 - 9:28
The students got off-guard when the King threw a drumstick toward Aang, by doing so it exposed Aang as an Airbender and his status as the Avatar.
"I knew the King knew that Aang is the Avatar." Aizawa said. "I noticed it when the King gave Aang a second glance before ordering his servants to give them a feast."
"I saw that coming too Aizawa, the question is now what will happen now?" All Might asks his fellow teacher, but no answer from Aizawa or the other teachers with him.
Some of the students notice too, but it's not the time to brag but a time to worry and hope Team Avatar can escape.
9:28 - 9:39
"He knows all along, even with the fake name. Damn it." Denki said, worrying about what would happen to Aang and his friends.
9:39 - 10:02
The villains laugh at Aang's failed attempt to escape with the rest of his friends.
Spinner has a sweat drop and hopes Aang finds a way to escape.
10:02 - 10:13
"Let us leave! Not, lettuce leaf!" Tenya throws his hands in frustration.
10:13 - 10:19
They watch to hear that the King Declared that the Avatar has to face three deadly challenges.
The students and Heroes didn't like the sound of that. While the Villains except for Spinner, are looking forward to The three deadly challenges.
"Oh no, this is bad you guys. What would the King do to the Avatar?" Nejire asks. Hoping not to see the Avatar's horrific end.
"Let's just hope isn't bad?" Tamaki said hoping to see the bright side to these challenges.
10:19 - 11:00
The students got confused by the King's words that he wanted Team Avatar to be locked up in their chamber.
One of the servants says that he's confused because which chamber should they bring them in, the new chamber or the old chamber?
The question got confused as they continue to talk, saying that to take them to the new chamber that was once bad.
When they get to see the chamber it didn't feel like a prison cell but a motel.
"This is the Prison Cell in Omashu, it looks so clean and luxurious." Toga said. "Is this what prison is like?"
Aizawa feels annoyed by the villain girl. "No this is not what a prison cell looks like!" Aizawa said. "This is more of a motel or how I would imagine a day spa?"
Momo decided to eat one of the apples that she summoned from the tray as she starts to eat.
11:00 - 11:19
When The team figures out a way to escape, Aang thought of using the air vents to use. Sokka said that they cannot use the vent to escape. Until Aang suggests using Momo to use the vents and escape.
In the next scene, the students from both 1A and 1B couldn't help but laugh at Momo licking the Apple.
That's not why they were laughing, they were laughing because Their Momo was eating an apple too, they caught Yaoyorozu in action eating an apple too.
Yaoyorozu was shocked to see herself and the lemur eating the same thing and was the reason why her classmates were laughing at her.
She had enough.
She took the bowl of Apples. "I have enough from being compared to a lemur with the same name as me. " she threw the bowl hitting Mineta in the process.
"That's for trying to sneak a peek at me, trying to glace what my naked breast looks like!"
From her hunger, she whispers to her tray to send her favorite tea, Gold Tips Imperial.
Yaoyorozu hoped that her classmates would stop the teasing.
They won't.
11:19 - 11:33
Some of the students laugh to see Aang trying to have Momo escape from the air vents. They just laughing seeing the situation won't work.
Yaoyorozu hope the same thing won't happen to her in the near future.
11:33 - 11:50
After they fail to contact Appa in order for them to escape. Katara suggested for all of them to sleep, believing the only way to get out from Omashu is for Aang to face the three deadly challenges.
"So there is no other way to escape uh."Uraraka said worried for the team Avatar. Not wanting Aang to face the challenges.
Looking at the room seeing there is no doors or windows, Tenya sadly agrees with his friend. "Looking at the room, it looks like the Air vents are the only in or out how else would air would enter." Tenya said. "I don't see windows or doors."
Izuku remembers an important detail. "No, there are no doors or locks, if you recall the guard used their Earthbending to create the doorway."
Shoto agrees with him. "Midoriya is right unless Aang could suddenly Earthbend in the next seconds and make a doorway to freedom. I don't see another way to escape? Now really thinking about it among us students in 1A only a few of us can escape, such as myself, Izuku, Bakugo, Kirishima, Sato, Yaoyorozu, Aoyama, Shoji, Ashido, Ojiro maybe?" Todoroki said, he turns to Tokoyama. "Is Dark Shadow strong enough to break those walls?"
"Fumikage just nodded. "Of course, Dark Shadow would be strong enough to do soo."
Mashiro Ojiro raises his hand and asks the peppermint boy a question. "Why am I a maybe?" he asks.
"Sorry, I don't know how strong is your tail is? My bad."
While Mashiro explains how strong his tail is to Todoroki. 1B thought the same too. If they were in a similar situation as Team Avatar, A good example was, Sen Kaibara with his quirk, there was also the following are, Tetsutetsu, Kendo, and Monama if he copy the quirks of others, Jorota, RIn in theory? Let's see who else oh there is, Kimikiri, Manga, Tokage by an escape by the air vents, and I think that's all of the 1B students.
Izuku couldn't stop blushing when Todoroki calls him by his first name, as they went back to watch.
11:50 - 12:11
The next scene was Aang waking up and notice that his friends are missing.
The Heroes and students didn't like that, Katara, Sokka, and Momo are missing.
They're worries and the Avatar's worries ended, when they learn from a guard that the King would return his friends once Aang's challenges are completed. They don't want to know what would happen to them if Aang failed.
The students cheered on Aang in the hopes that he does succeed in the end. While the villains sat back and relax to see in the possible chance of the Avatar failing.
12:11 - 12:19
The next scene shows the guards going to meet up with the King. The King asks him a question.
What do you think of the new outfit he wants his honest opinion.
"Seriously! That first challenge! Just say he looks ridiculous and go to the second challenge!" Togaru Kamikiri said in his anger.
"Um, I don't think this is the first challenge, Kimikiri it seems to be too easy," Reiko said calmly to the Razor Blade quirk user.
"I FUCKING SEE THAT GHOST GIRL!"
"Kimikiri please calm down." Itsuka said to the boy before she would Karate chop her classmate. "Anyway, I'm not the expert in this kind of stuff."
"Said the girl who starred in a commercial and was part of the beauty pageant." Monama's words really got Kendo irritated. She is wanting to hit him, but if she did Poker would have her for hinting Poker's so could favorite of all 1B students.
Neito continues. "Anyway the outfit is not bad, violet is in fact the color of royalty."
With the Big Three.
"Hey, Hado what do you think of the outfit?" Mirio asks his friend.
Looking at the outfit itself Nejire doesn't know what to feel or what to think of the outfit itself, her only answer was that it look okay to her.
Midnight place her opinion. "I may say, it's not really my style. True, my choice of clothing is different when I go out as Midnight." She said. "However as Nemuri Kayama, It's not something I would wear in public, it looks so formal perfect for a King, it is not something I would call street clothes." She gave a sinister smile knowing who would look terribly bad wearing it, whoever but Mt. Lady herself. "However I would give it to Mt. Lady, I'm pretty sure Yu would wear something that ridiculous in a gala ball." she starts to chuckle, and she stops to give her honest opinion. "It does work on him though, the outfit it's perfect for a King!"
"Who are you suddenly, Tim Gunn?" Vlad King joked making Kayama stare at him.
"Don't make me angry Kan, because I would make you wear that ridiculous outfit next time when you go on a blind date."
Vlad King now shakes from fear knowing how terrifying Kayama can be at times. "You wouldn't?"
"Try me."
With the villains.
They don't know what to think of the outfit itself. However, Dabi got a liking to the outfit. Not for him to wear but he wants Enji to wear it and show the world Endeavor's new Hero costume. Enji would be the laughing stock of the whole Hero Community, both offline and online.
12:19 - 12:36
Aang finally answered and he said that outfit looks fine. The King however reveal it wasn't the first challenge.
"Of course it's not that easy. Fuck! Me" Togaru said.
12:36 - 13:13
Seeing that Aang didn't want to play the King's challenges, Aang demands for the King to have his friends return to him so they can leave.
The Heroes and students knew it wouldn't be that easy.
It reveals that The King knew that the Avatar wants to refuse his challenges, he reveal his friends and have his guards place a rare crystal into the fingers of Sokka and Katara like it was a ring.
Everyone from the Heroes, the students, and the villains was shocked to see what the crystal can do.
"Fascinating and terrifying, So this rare crystal, Jennamite can slowly coat the victim slowly until the victim is finally coated by crystal." Melissa said. "There is no material like it exists in our world, there is no such thing. The closing thing ever recorded that the material came from the quirk itself, but seeing the creeping crystal it seems the Crystal itself has a quirk of its own."
By seeing the crystal itself there is no denying the dangerous level of Jennamite. True the process is slow but the victim would be coated by crystal killing the victim with suffocation.
The crystal also scared the villains as well.
All For One on the other hand was interested in the rare crystal. True, for a long time he only relied on the powerful quirks he had stolen, However, after seeing the Jennamite for the first time. He wouldn't mind having such a crystal to use against captured enemies.
As much as the man like the idea of killing and torture there is no doubt that he likes the joy of psychological horror that the Jennamite provides to their victims.
He needs to make a new deal with the spirit of temptation later in the break, he knows what Poker wants, or should he say who he lusts over.
13:13 - 1317
Seeing that the crystal is slowly growing on Aang's friends, The Avatar has no choice but to accept the King's challenges.
Kosei wishes his idol good luck and hopes that the Avatar succeeds in the three challenges ahead.
13:17 - 13:41 (First challenge)
The next scene shows a new location assuming it's located inside the palace, The new location was a cave in it in the middle of the cave was a running Waterfall.
The King's first challenge for Aang was to deliver the key to the King that holds the lunch of the King.
The student wonders why not ask his servants to cook him a new meal, perhaps with caviar and wagyu beef, but no this isn't the case.
"So this is the first challenge, Aang has to find a way to get the key from the running Waterfall. This is a tough challenge even for me, the water pressure would push me down and I don't know if holding on to the ladder is a good idea I would slip down because of the water." Eijiro said, "how would you do it Bakugo?"
Bakugo thought of a possible way to get them off the chain. If it was him back in the first week of school. His past self would suggest using his explosion. Now seeing the situation of his explosion even how powerful they are, they are useless in this task. His explosion comes from his sweat which is nitroglycerine. However, the water itself makes his nitroglycerine sweat useless.
For example, his gauntlets are meant to gather his sweat that is how he was able to make huge explosions like back in battle training. The problem is because his gauntlets can gather his sweat meaning other forms of liquid can enter too such as water. If his own sweat gets into contact with water his sweat wouldn't be able to create his explosions gathering him useless.
Katsuki refuses to be called useless.
The ash-blond didn't answer the red-head.
The rest of the students from 1A and 1B thought about what would they do in this situation. For Kosei, he thought of using his quirk to create a solid air cage to shield the key from the water, but by doing so it would also capture water in the process.
With Reiko, she could do this task easily with her quirk the same can be said with Pony Tsunotori.
For Neito, seeing the waterfall he knows diving in and trying to capture the key physically is not a good idea, even if the choice to decided to copy the quirk of Tetsutetsu, he would rather copy Yanagi's quirk to capture the key.
The rest of 1A thought of the situation and wonder how would they get the key. Sero's tape quirk wouldn't work on the waterfall itself, he could use the dry rocks for his tape to swing on but the water pressure is strong the water could be the reason why he would fail in this challenge.
For Mineta his quirk is useless too, true, he used his quirk to climb before but the water pressure would send him down, causing him to fail.
Todoroki could use is ice to free the waterfall but doing so could make things worst especially since the whole cave system is spikes that could kill him.
Lastly for Izuku, he thought long and hard about what he can do to pass this challenge. By using One For All he could yank the chain, and with Black Whip he could swing around like Tarzan. In order to do the plan, he has to be fast because the water pressure is the main problem so climbing up the ladder isn't an option but using both of his quirks could be the solution to his problem.
Now they wonder how would Aang get the key?
(If you guys have any ideas on how 1A and 1B can get the key please leave your comments below, This part wasn't easy to write but others may have other ideas that could have individual students can pass.)
13:41 - 13:50
Aang starts to jump spike after spike.
Seeing Aang in action the students and Kosei were intrigued to see the Airbender in action.
"Aang is so cool his jumping like an acrobat or a ninja." Kota said, to which Kosei agrees.
13:50 - 14:02
The watch as Aang tries to climb the ladder. Knowing how strong he is without his bending it is no match against the water pressure.
"Damn it, If Aang knows to waterbend he could win this challenge easily with waterbending." Kosei said.
"Yeah damn it"
"Kota! Watch your language." Izuku said to the boy, but the boy didn't appologize.
(Izuku trust me, kids today say a lot of swear words, some are younger than Kota and Eri who are both six-years-old.)
14:02 - 14:07
The students were shocked that climbing that ladder was a bad idea.
They were glad that Aang reacted in time before he became shish kabob by the cave spikes.
"That was close." Kosei said, shielding his groan because what was where the spike was pointing at. The other boys did the same to shield their groans because that way too close, and hope a similar thing won't happen to them in the near future.
"Aang has thought of another way to solve this problem." Itsuka said.
14:07 - 14:35
Aang's second attempt was to climb to a higher vantage point, he decide to dive in head on again, but the water pressure was too strong pushing off the Avatar.
"Aang needs to think of a new solution, Diving, again and again, it won't work if the water pressure is too strong." Tenya said.
"I just he can try to airbend the key out." Ochaco said.
14:35 - 14:51
The next scene was Aang's final attempt.
By taking off the tip of the spike, Aang uses the opportunity to use the spike as a make-shift spear to use on the Key.
He cleverly use his Airbending to make a pathway for the spike to enter, and the spike was able to get the key off the chain, having the King be able to have his lunch.
"Special delivery from Avatar Aang, at AvatarEats we accept all tips including returning Katara and Sokka including freeing them from the Jennamite, please and thank you." Kosei joked making his fellow classmates laugh.
14:51 - 15:09 (Second Challenge)
The second challenge starts, it seems a lot easier than the first one. The challenge was to catch the King's pet name Flopsy.
When the scene shifts to a new location the first thing that they saw was a cute white bunny rabbit with abnormally long ears.
The Audience aww at the cute bunny rabbit, they have never seen a rabbit like it in their universe. Not Even Koji Koda bunny was ever this cute.
15:09 - 15:14
What.
The.
Hell!
Is.
That!
Were the combined shouts of everyone, they were not shocked like this since the introduction of Appa. Now the familiar feeling came back when they see this animal.
"What the hell is that! It looks like a goat had sex with a gorilla?!" Sen yelled freaking out towards the known animal.
Nirengenki agrees with Kaibara, "I think you're right? Looking closely this animal does have traits of Goat and Gorilla, but his massive size almost debunks the Gorilla trait." he said.
"Do all animals have sex with every animal in this world?" Sen said with a sweatdrop. "First was the Penguin Otter back in the South Pole, is like I'm expecting to see a, I don't know a… Platypus Bear! I bet 100 dollars if there is a platypus bear in this world."
Some students and villains make a betting pool to see the existence of a Platypus Bear.
Izuku sketches the creature in front of him the Goat Gorilla as they all watch how would Aang succeed to capture Flopsy.
15:14- 15:34
During Aang's chase for Flopsy, the rabbit continues to run, while the Goat Gorilla continues to chase Aang.
During the chase, Aang continues to call for the animal's name and yet the rabbit doesn't come closer to Aang. If anyone with a name was called, that 'being' human or animal was called normally they would respond or get closer to the one who called for their name.
Yet the rabbit's response was to get away not to come closer to Aang.
To Izuku this doesn't make sense every time Flopsy's name is called the rabbit runs while the Goat Gorilla is the one that gets closer. The only reason why would the Goat Gorilla would get closer is if his name is…. Oh crap. It finally hit Izuku in the head.
"No turn around Flopsy! Go to Aang!" Uraraka said. "Run faster Aang! Get Flopsy and get away from the monster."
"If I was there I would have blasted that monster into ashes while the baldy goes and catch the bunny!" Katsuki declares.
"No Uraraka! Kacchan! You two got it wrong!"
"What do you mean Deku?" Uraraka asks.
"Yeah, what is it this time, Nerd?" Katsuki asks the nerd.
"Have you two noticed that the Goat Gorilla hasn't attacked Aang since it appeared?" Izuku said.
"Yeah, what about it Deku?" Uraraka said confused.
"JUST SPILL IT, NERD!"
Izuku pointed at the screen "Flopsy isn't the white rabbit! Flopsy is the–
15:34 - 15:50
–"Goat Gorilla, Flopsy is the Goat Gorilla" Izuku finishes his sentence at the same time Aang figure out that Flopsy is the Goat Gorilla, not the white rabbit.
"What!" was the combined reaction of the students including Kota, Melissa, and the big three.
The scene shows Flopsy hugging Aang and licking his face. That made the students still feel dumbfounded to learn that the Goat Gorilla is the true Flopsy, not the cute white bunny rabbit.
"That thing! Is the King's pet!" Denki said still having a hard time believing.
"It seems so." Hitoshi confirms for the blond. "The King never said that his pet is the bunny, it just his name happens to be Flopsy, Now seeing the pet hugging and licking Aang." he looks at the pet closely. "He may look like a monster, but he is actually not, he's cute."
Learning that Flopsy is the Goat Gorilla. Hitoshi Shinso feels sorry for thinking the beast was a monster from just appearance alone. His judging of the pet reminds him of the time that past classmates judge him for his quirk alone not him as a person.
He knows that he's a changed person and given the opportunity to train with Aizawa, right now he feels like shit about how he acted to the Goat Gorilla.
Shinso isn't the only one who feels bad about how what they said to Flopsy.
"Oh crap he's the real Flopsy, I misjudge him for what he looks like, I called him a monster but in truth, he is actually really kind and harmless," Uraraka said feeling guilty about what she said to the pet. She just hope this moment wouldn't affect her future career as a hero.
Bakugo feels like shit too. He said out loud that he would turn Flopsy into ashes. If Flopsy were a person and turns out to be innocent, His action would affect his career in a bad light, including affecting his journey to be number one.
He knows he wanted to become a Hero to beat up villains but what would happen if he beat up the wrong person. His dream as a Hero would have ended from there and there.
The students heard a cough from Aizawa and Vlad King. "Consider this to be a lesson, students. It is one of the oldest lessons thought to children. Don't judge a book by its cover." Aizawa said.
"I agree with Aizawa, in history even before the quirk era, there are a lot of cops and Pro Heroes who lost their jobs from arresting the wrong person."
After admitting their mistake they took this lesson to heart, they don't want to ruin their career because they judge a person by appearance alone.
Katsuki Bakugo took this lesson hard, just one mistake such as arresting, heck, beating up the wrong person and believing he was the villain that the victim described could ruin his Hero career.
For the first time, he gulps and hopes he thinks first before attacking. He may have a powerful quirk but the law is the one with true power.
15:50 - 16:03
The students aww towards the King giving Flopsy a belly rub.
16:03 - 16:15
In this scene, Aang checks on his friend and sees that the Jennamite has covered their bodies a lot.
It shows that the crystal is slowly making a crystal cage instead of what they thought how Jennamite works. They thought the crystal would slowly kill them but make their bodies look like an armor made of crystal, but anyways the crystal is slowly killing Katara and Sokka especially if the process is completed.
To All For One he definitely needs Jennamite and take it to his world, it is a good torture device.
To Dabi he could help by laughing at Sokka's misfortune when the Jennamite became too heavy he fell down. He imagines his brother, Shoto in the same situation as Sokka.
16:15 - 16:22
"Alright! It see the next challenge!" Eijiro is pumped up to see the next challenge
16:22 - 16:41 (The Final Challenge.)
The scene shift into an arena.
The King mentions that Aang's final challenge is a duel in which Aang has the power to pick
Presenting, the first warrior, was a man with multiple smaller weapons in which his main weapon is a spear.
While the other man standing with his shirt off stands a bigger muscular man with a huge axe.
"Damn who do you think would Aang choose?" Shoto asks Midoriya.
Izuku thought a minute before answering. "Well, judging the two I can at least assume what their skills." Izuku said. "By the looks of it, they're both non-benders. The guy with the small weapons I assume prepares to fight in a distance like a knife-throwing, while muscles over there, would rather fight with a strong hitting swing with his axe."
Shoto heard the nickname that Midoriya called the Axe wielder. "Muscles, that's what you're going to call him?" Shoto said with envy.
"Yeah, what's wrong with the nickname?"
"I have muscles too, what makes him different from me."
from his crush's words, Izuku starts to blush not knowing what to say he changed the subject. "Everybody look, Aang is going to pick his opponent. Ha! Ha! Ha!" he said avoiding his crush's glaze on him.
16:41 - 16: 50
"So whoever Aang pointed, that's his opponent?" Kosei asks.
The 1B class Vice President just nodded. "Pretty much, he has to choose wisely," Niregenki said.
He and the rest of the students wait for Aang's choice.
16:50 - 16:56
Everyone is surprised to see that Aang chose the King over the two warriors.
"Woo Ohh! Aang chose the King!" Pony said.
"Yeah, there is no way the King would win." Hiryu said.
They smiled that Aang chose the weak old man.
Unknown to them they would regret their smiles.
16:56 - 17:21
Wrong Choice.
Their smiles drop when the King's outfit got removed to reveal that he wasn't a weak old man, but a strong muscular old man.
What's worst he was an Earthbender.
Everyone gets ready to watch the first-ever in action, an Earthbender in battle. They also wonder who would win, The King of Omashu or The Avatar.
They will witness the first fight between an Airbender versus the most powerful Earthbender in the World.
(I know that Toph is the World's greatest Earthbender, But I do wonder who would win between the two? The comics show their fight but not the end result.)
17:21 - 17:42
"No, Take backsies! Not in Omashu you don't!" Himiko said.
"Finish Him!" Tomura said still making a Mortal Kombat reference.
The fight is about to begin, The King even allows Aang to fight with his glider.
Itsuka, Mashiro, and Aizawa watch closely to see The King's fighting style to have an understanding of the Earthbending and their martial art.
Izuku has his notebook ready to see Earthbending and its full potential. He knows that it's more than just the mail delivery system, that was shown in the city of Omashu.
17:42 - 17:54
The first starts with the King in offence while Aang was in defence. The King would throw his rocks at the young Airbender, but Aang would avoid and evade the attacks.
They were off-guard by what the King said.
Typical Airbender tactic, avoid and evade.
"What, don't tell me that the King face an Airbender before?" Kosei asks.
"I think he did, the way he said it, it sounded like he face Airbenders before?" Sen said.
"No way! Are you telling us his at least 100-years-old?!" Yosetsu asks.
Jorota, fixed his glasses, "I don't want to sound rude, but he does look the part with his age. I think he really in fact fought Airbenders before the extinction."
Everyone was having a hard time believing that the King of Omashu is at least 100-years-old.
17:54 - 18:20
The fight continues still having the King throw his rocks against Aang.
Watching closely, they realize that Earthbending combat is more than just throwing rocks at their opponent, they would also see pillars being created right from the ground itself.
"So Earthbending is not just throwing rocks, but they have a complete control of the Earth itself, such as their surrounding." Aizawa said. "Also, it is very different from Airbending and Firebending. Those two bending styles have the benders to shoot air or shoot fire that comes from themselves, Here the King demonstrates they need Earth to bend similar to Waterbenders needing water in order to bend. At first, I believe that Earthbending would be similar to Kirishima's Hardinging quirk, No this isn't the case at all."
He continues. "However, take the Earthbender away from the ground, I believe they have a similar weakness as Waterbenders especially when you take a Waterbender away from near water source even as little amount like water bottles."
"That may be true, Shota, but we still don't know the full potential of Earthbending?" Midnight said." Like is Earthbending only limited to rocks, what about other materials such as gemstones like diamonds, crystals, and emeralds? I think Earthbenders can also bend jewelry because they are Earth as well."
"Besides rocks on Earth, don't forget there are also rocks from space like a meteor. They maybe are rock but they're not from Earth, there is no such thing as Space-Earth." Vlad King said.
"I guess we have to continue to watch and see the Earthbendig in its full potential then. " He said as they continue the show.
18:20 - 18:40
Watching the fight more, they see that Aang, a master of Airbending is outmatched against The King. The King would use his Earthbending to protect himself and the air leaving no scratches on the Earth wall.
"This is bad, Aang needs to find a new way to fight the King. Ribbit" Tsuyu said.
Fumikage nodded his head. "Agree, the King himself is levels, leagues higher than Aang." Fumikage said.
18:40 - 18:57
Izuku saw the epic Earthbending attack that the King did, he use smaller rocks and gather all of them to create a tidal wave made of Earth.
He also has a bunch of Earth and has a barrage attack on Aang.
"Amazing, The king uses his bending to not just throw the rocks but has full control over them, he can shape them however he wishes. Meaning other Earthbenders can do the same thing, well maybe not as a skilled the King is, but it is a possibility," he said.
They also listen to what the King said to Aang, that fighting in a distance isn't working out for Aang's favor.
They watch and wonder what would Aang do now?
18:57 -19:03
The fight shifts having Aang on offence this time, The young Airbender decided to charge toward the King, but the King was clever to turn the ground that Aang was on and turn it from hard solid Earth into fuzzy sand.
"Amazing, I guess the same with Waterbenders that they can shift water in all of its three forms, I guess Earthbenders can do the same thing with Earth." Mirio said. "Just look deep he made the sandpile is, it's right at Aang's waist," he said intrigued by what Earthbending can do.
Izuku wrote down on his notebook about Earthbenders and their ability to shift similar to how Waterbenders shift water into ice.
He also wrote down a theory about bending sand. He wrote down Sandbending as a theory.
19:03 - 19:20
The scene shows that Aang is trapped in the sand. While the King gathers two big boulders moves them to crash Aang, to create an Earthbending sandwich with the Avatar in the middle.
The villains are disappointed Aang wasn't crashed by the two boulders and they do wonder how Aang was able to escape?
But it didn't matter because Aang was finally able to land an attack on the King with his Airbending.
19:20 - 19:30
The fight continues.
The students worried when the King bend a huge boulder behind Aang, but the Airbender cleverly dodge it on time. Now the boulder's new target is no longer the Airbender but the King himself.
"Oh right, Aang!" Kosei cheered seeing that he outsmarted the King. The student to the cleverness of the Airbender.
When the screen shows that the boulder is about to hit the King, the King did something that none of them expected. He turned a boulder into sand, not harming the King at all.
"Dang it y'all, so close is there a way to defeat the King?" Pony asks.
"I don't know? Tsunotori, but Aang has too." Itsuka said. "I don't know how long could Katara and Sokka could last because of the Jennamite. The crystal would suffocate the water tribe siblings if Aang fails."
The students continue to root for Aang and hope for his victory.
19:30 - 19:43
Everyone got their eyes to widen to see the King Earthbend a huge size of rock using the platform that they were from.
Izuku was surprised too. "Amazing the strength of Earthbending, that piece of Rock is bigger than the King himself." He said. "It's different from Uraraka's quirk."
"What do you mean Deku?"
"I mean, remember what your quirk can do before training camp before you trained your quirk to lessen your stomach aches." The girl just nodded understanding a bit from what the boy said. "Well, back then you cannot use your quirk towards things that are too heavy for you, for example, your quirk wouldn't work on the Zero Pointer robot because of the weight limit. Your zero gravity quirk has a similar faction to a person lifting a heavy object. True, your quirk allows you to make whatever you touch weightless however there is a catch, you cannot do that towards things that are too heavy for you such as the Zero pointer robot back then, your body can't handle that much weight. Now you can use your quirk on objects that are too heavy, but you still get stomach aches after long exposure.
"However Seeing the King Earthbending something that is bigger than him is a different issue." he continues. "True. the King is a powerful and skilled Earthbender and perhaps a master of Earthbending, there is no doubt with hard work and training, other Earthbenders can do it too."
Izuku wrote down in his notebook and hoped to see if he is right about what he said about Earthbending.
19:43 - 20:07
Worried that the King's upcoming attack would successfully hurt the young Airbender, They watch as Aang has a plan of attack, sort of.
Instead of the usual Airbending combat that the King is familiar with, Aang decided to run around in a circle. At first, the students didn't get it, except for one.
"Oh, cool Aang is making a Tornado!" Kosei cheered.
"A Tornado!?" yelled his fellow classmate of both classes, they were not catching on to what the boy said and what was happening on the screen.
"Guys, Aang is an Airbender he's doing something that not even I can do with my quirk." He pointed at the screen. "Just look."
On the screen, it does show Aang making a tornado making the students' eyes widen.
Izuku wrote down Airbender and their ability to create tornadoes.
"Alright! Bro is making a Tornado! What now?" Tetsutetsu asks not sure what would the Tornado be against the King and his massive boulder of Earth.
They watch as the King throws his boulder at Aang, but Aang's tornado was too strong and the wind carried the boulder and it went flying back to the King himself.
Aizawa was impressed by the Avatar's clever thinking, and he was also impressed with the King's Earthbending skills, though he cannot still pinpoint what Martial Art Earthbending is based on, he may not be like Kendo or his student Ojiro who could recognize Airbending and Firebending, and simply trace their bending with Chinese Martial Arts, and by the looks of it, they haven't pinpointed it yet.
Hoping that the boulder would hit the King, the students' smiles drop to see that The King just split the huge boulder in half unharming the King in the process.
However it turns out using the boulder against the King as a weapon wasn't Aang's true attention, It turns out Aang just uses the huge boulder as a blind spot for the King, in order for Aang to get closer to attack the King up close. The students cheered for Aang's clever plan now that Aang pinned the King with his glider pointed at the head of the King.
"Way to go Aang! He did it he outsmarted the King!" Kosei cheered for his idol's victory. Seeing the King's situation there is nothing he can do but surrender.
20:07 - 20:14
Kosei's smile dropped. He thought Aang has the victory in hand but it turns out he was wrong. The screen shows that Aang is pinned to because above them was a huge boulder of rock above their head in which the King is bending it.
Now the students don't know what would Aang do to turn the fight around but seeing that both fighters are pinned they could consider this fight a draw.
But would it be enough to save Katara and Sokka?
20:14 - 20:22
Apparently, it was enough to pass the final challenge.
"Okay? I didn't expect that to happen, at least we're going to see Katara and Sokka be saved from the Jennamite." Mirio said.
20:22 - 20:30
Mirio, got his eyes widened at what the King just did with Earthbending. He just fell down to the ground and created a King shape hole, He then reappear in front of Katara and Sokka. The way that the King did it, reminded Mirio that he used to do a similar thing with his quirk back then.
Like his fight with 1A(and Assuming with 1B too but off-screen) that he would phase down to the floor and reappear in front of the students to attack.
Though if he did the fight with his Hero costume none of 1A and 1B would have seen his penis, such as Jiro during the fight.
20:30 - 20:51
The students were enraged to hear that Aang may have passed his tests but he still has to answer the King's question.
Now they wonder what is the King's question?
Aizawa listens to the king's words and learns that all three challenges have a lesson underneath. He may not like the idea of endangering Katara and Sokka with the Jennamite, but he does understand the King's method of teaching. Shota Aizawa is a teacher who has teaching methods that aren't like the methods of ordinary teachers. Such as his method back on the first day of school he threaten his students to show their potential during the assessment test, he wasn't kidding about expelling the students if they don't show their potential he would have expelled his students like the students he had last year.
Now he wonders what is the meaning of all the challenges, He is curious to learn what is the question.
20:51 - 21:01
The question itself was a mix of hard and confusing.
"What is my name?"
What worries them, Aang only has a few minutes left before the Jennamite covers Katara and Sokka completely.
21:01 - 21:10
"How the hell would Aang know the King's name? They just met today!" Sen said with frustration.
"Don't give up yet, Kaibara, Katara might have a point maybe the challenges has a hint?
The pause and listen to Sokka's name suggest, and his answer was… Rocky.
"It's not a good time Sokka!" Hanta said, feeling frustrated too.
21:10 - 21:39
Thinking back on all the challenges. Izuku tries to figure out the King's name as he starts to think.
'Alright, think of all the challenges. There should be a hint, In the first challenge, he had to get a key from a waterfall. The first two attempts Aang was diving headfirst, but that method didn't work. Aang had to try a new method which was using his surroundings and Airbending order to get the key to the King."
'The second challenge, Aang and everyone thought that flopsy was the white bunny rabbit. In which Aang ended up chasing it and calling the pet's name, until they all realize that Flopsy was never the bunny rabbit, but it was the Goat Gorilla.'
'Lastly was the duel. In the beginning, Aang has the power to choose who he wanted to fight, but he ends up choosing the King instead of Spear guy and Mr. Muscles.' Izuku starts to blush remembering what Todoroki said about calling the warrior, "Muscles" while Todoroki too has muscles. His mind starts to wander and imagine Todoroki and his muscles under his shirt. He blush and stop because he realize that he went off track.
'So Back in the fight with the King, Aang couldn't get near the king and Avoiding and evading wasn't going to work during that fight so Aang had to think of new ways to use his Airbending order to face the king head one, He uses the King's boulders against him that was how Aang managed to defeat the King.'
'Speaking of the King, during their fight he said "typical Airbender tactic, Avoid and evade" that made it clear to everyone that the king face Airbender before, making him at least over 100-years-old because the only people old enough to face Airbenders today are at least the same age as Aang.'
'Lastly thinking back to the challenges they were pretty straightforward but Aang has to think differently, he had to open his mind to see to the possibilities.'
It finally clicked in Izuku's mind he knows the King's name.
21:39 - 21:56
The next scene shifts into the throne room' It has Aang giving his answer to the King.
Listening to the words Aang he made it sound like they know each other before today until he drop a quote that Aang's childhood friend once said. The Students remember the quote back in the Flashback when Aang mentioned his old friend who lived in Omashu all those years ago.
"I have to open my brain to see the possibilities"
Then the King starts to laugh, it not just a laugh but a familiar laugh from Aang's old friend.
"Wait don't tell me that's–"
"Yes, Tsuburaba, That's Aang's old friend, Bumi." Izuku ensures the boy, making Kosei smile happy that Aang gets to reunite with his old friend, from 100 years ago.
Kosei is happy for Aang, after learning that the Fire Nation killed the Air Nomads he thought Aang would never see someone from his past, but he was wrong and the universe can be funny sometimes because Aang was able to reunite with his old childhood friend, and probably the sole survivor beside's Appa that is still part of Aang's life today.
All Might was shocked to learn that the King is Aang's childhood friend, he just has to ask his successor. "Young Midoriya, how did you know that the King is Bumi all along?
"It took me a while, All Might. At first, the challenges were just the prize to free Katara and Sokka, until the ki– I mean Bumi asks Aang what's his name." Izuku said. "That's when I start to notice that each challenge may have been straight forward but they were simple it requires Aang to open his mind to see the possibilities, a quote that Bumi once said to Aang all those years ago. That's how I figure that the King is Bumi all along."
All Might and Aizawa smiled at Midoriya's brilliant mind.
21:56 - 22:04
The Heroes and the students are happy to see the two old friends reunited.
22:04 - 22:16
The audience watched as Katara and Sokka were finally freed from the Jennamite prison by Bumi's Earthbending.
Izuku wrote down in his notebook about Earthbenders can bend crystals such as Jennamite. Making it clear what Midnight sensei said about the Theory of bending gemstones such as crystals is in fact possible.
He also wrote a fun fact that Jennamite is Earthbender candy.
For All For One, he was disappointed that Jennamites was easy to destroy but it didn't change his mind he still wanted Jennamite to use back in his world. Is not like there are Earthbenders in their world.
22:16 - 22:55
In the scene, Sokka asks why Bumi didn't just tell Aang that he was Bumi all along.
Aizawa chuckled a bit at Bumi's response that he liked messing with people, similar to what he did back in the Assessment test back on the first day of school. They also learn that there was a reason why he wanted Aang to do the challenges, as Bumi give his wisdom to Aang.
Bumi said, that Aang has difficult tasks ahead and that he has to restore balance to the world by ending the war and defeating Fire Lord Ozai. In order to do so, he has to master all four elements and when The Avatar faces the Fire Lord he hopes that Aang would have think like a mad genius.
The Heroes listen to the wisdom of Bumi and they heard a certain sentence that made Avatar duty that is different from the duties of Pro Heroes. "Restore balance to the world." was a very different responsibility from Pro Heroes and a different responsibility back when All Might when he was the Symbol of Peace.
They all also heard the name of the Fire Lord the one in charge of the War and the Fire Nation troops, Fire Lord Ozai.
Izuku wrote a new page for Fire Lord Ozai and a new page for King Bumi of Omashu.
22:55 - 23:14
Bumi's last words to Aang are that he would need help from his friend in his Avatar journey. Momo too.
Aang bowed to his old friends thanking them for his wonderful wisdom, and Aang said before they leave Aang has a challenge for Bumi.
23:14 - 23:26 (Last Scene)
It reveals what Aang's challenge to Bumi was.
Tenya Ida got a headache to see Bumi and Aang sliding down on the Omashu mailing system.
"Not again!"
Off-screen, the audience laughs at the Cabbage Merchant's misfortune.
My Cabbages!
Today's episode was interesting to the student and to everyone else, this was their first time witnessing Earthbending for the first time. They even saw the Avatar facing the three not-so-deadly challenges that it may be straightforward but it didn't mean it was simple, sometimes they have to open their mind to see the possibilities.
They were also happy to meet Aang's old childhood friend Bumi, who is a goofy king that Omashu is grateful to have.
Bumi was not just a goofy character but he was also a powerful Earthbender. The Audience wonder if they're going to see other power benders such as Bumi.
For now they rest as they get ready for the next episode.

Til Next time
This was an interesting chapter to write to be honest. I thought I would have a hard time writing to find a subject that the characters can relate to, they learn something new in this world, I even have a subject for them to discuss later in the interlude chapter, after chapter Jet.
I actually plan for Itsuka and Mashiro to mention that Earthbending too is base on a Chinese Martial Art, but it wasn't the right time. True we seen a lot of Earthbending from Bumi, but the next episode shows a lot of, Hung Ga Kung Fu, more than this episode.
True, each bending martial art is based on a real-life Chinese Martial Art, did you know Toph's Martial Art isn't Hung Ga Kung Fu but Chow Gar / Southern Pray Mantis. it's a cool fact to learn.
