I believe the avatar after korra will restore their connection to their previous lives. I’ve noticed that when an avatar has a regret or a goal they failed to accomplish the avatar that proceeds them ends up fixing it in some way. Avatar Kurruck for example lived the shortest life in avatar history only Kyoshi to live the longest, Avatar Roku sparing the fire lord lead to the 100 year war only for Avatar Aang to defeat the fire lord and end it, Avatar Aang was unable to bring back his people until Avatar Korra’s actions against Unavatu brought back Airbending to the world. Last but not least Korra’s biggest regret is losing her connection to her previous lives which I believe will be fixed by the avatar that proceeds her.

they should make a series about the 2nd avatar after wan. like, nobody has any idea on why this man can bend multiple elements and their only basis for this is some guy who kept hanging out with spirits that one time. it'd be so fun.

The fire sages check every baby for fire bending abilities by reading their chi, so the parents can be cautious and make sure their baby doesn’t burn the house down. Most likely, the Avatar has a unique chi signature, so Roku was probably identified as an infant,

Crazy how this comes full circle for the creators. The original idea was in a futuristic setting and now that they finally have their OWN studio, and built an amazing series, they now have the ability to bring their original idea to life!

The new Avatar might take place in Zaofu. Since they are an Earth bender they might be the first primarily metalbending avatar.

It feels strange to me that the next avatar after Korra is already in a cyberpunk setting, because of how much the technology of the world will have to advance within a single lifetime. Korra lived in an era patterned after the 1920s; I would have expected the next Earth Kingdom avatar to live in a setting that looked a lot like our present day. Then you could have a Fire Nation avatar in a futuristic cyberpunk/space travel world. But maybe the writers are going to establish that Korra lived a very long life, like Avatar Kyoshi. It would have to be either that, or an explosion in technological advancement even more rapid than has occurred in our world, which would be hard to imagine! I'm still interested to see what they come up with-- it's going to be a real challenge to show us a world so different from the Avatar world we remember that still feels like it's continuing the same story. We'll have to see how it turns out! As far as using hospital records to match the time of a baby's birth to the avatar's time of death, that would be a very useful tool for finding the next avatar, but I don't think it would narrow it down completely. There are a lot of babies being born around the world, and we don't know if the transfer is instantaneous, or if it can take a few minutes. And if the previous avatar dies in a battle or even just at home, you might not have an exact minute of death.

Why not both? The hospital records identify the avatar, three years later White Lotus comes in with their box of goodies to honor tradition and thirteen years later they do habemus papam

If the next avatar is a boy with asami’s face, he’s gonna be hella handsome 😂

Another issue that is going to complicate things further is the fact that there are now blended societies. Starting with the colony of Yu Dao, people from different nations are intermarrying and forming mixed populations. The earth bender avatar may be born in republic city because one of their parents is originally from the earth kingdom. I also suspect that some of the water bending avatars came from the foggy swamp which made it harder to locate them.

There's a theory that every Avatar has the face of the wife/partner of the previous Avatar.

Imagine an avatar that could bloodbend, lavabend, metalbend, lightningbend, combustionbend and fly

Of topic:In the ep. Jet Katara made a hat for Jet when she still liked him but he never weares it, insted you can see Aang wearing it in the background which foreshadows their relationship

Maybe the way they find the new Avatar would be like the first time Aang went into the Avatar state. Something very emotional happened that triggers the state and someone recorded it happening. The State and recording would be a good way to bridge together the past and present too

Nobody ever said the Avatar connections were lost forever. The next one might just have those connections and it was only severed for Korra.

I mean, they could just get a spirit to identify them... or ask one. Remember, they can detect Raava 😅 my theory, is that Jinora will detect korra's energy in the new person and confirm it by asking a spirit if they detect Raava

Ngl I feel like the Korra will tell the next avatar that he needs to bring his past lives back so I’m pretty sure he’ll accomplish that

I guess you could use both as when Korra dies, there's still the chance she could've fallen in battle, making time more or less approximate. In case where TOD can not be made exact, you can then use the "relic" trick to narrow down to the one based on birth records from that specific day

I wonder if, instead of Republic City, we’ll see the next Avatar in another tech-focused city, a la Zaofu. Zaofu came basically from Suyin Beifong’s will alone, and between ATLA & LOK, Republic City grew from nothing into a huge city. It wouldn’t surprise me if the next series chooses a new location that grew from nothing in the intervening hundred years, especially if it’s relevant to the story to explore why that city became so big (e.g., a Houston-type city getting big off of oil).

The tea pot!! Baby Korra with Iroh in the spirit world. She recognized the tea pot and Iroh explains that that's what Wan/her carrier Raava in. He says "you can still taste the light." I think the tea pot will have significance in finding the next avatar.

the creators have definitely mentioned working on a next avatars series, they mentioned it in the podcast but I feel that the next avatar will be around 50-60 years after Koreas season, will be way more modern but not as futuristic as people are thinking not totally cyberpunk but have to remember the avatar world is changing more modern but including more spirits . and my guess is that Korea won't live as long but not too short either I think she will pass around late 60's 70's also excited to see the new avatar connect and speak with Korra

0:48 Firearms that are powered by elemental magic? I’m getting some Outlaw Star vibes here!

Airbender children are given the toy test at a very young age, probably before the age of 3, so that the monks and nuns in charge know exactly who the Avatar is, it’s just that they only tell the kid at 16 years old. For Aang, they figured the Avatar is desperately needed, so, as an exception, they informed him at 12 years old. Likewise, Roku was told at 16 years old, so the age of telling is probably universal for all nations. Because of the whole False Avatar Yun debacle regarding Avatar Kyoshi, we don’t really know what Earth Kingdom customs were, and for Avatar Kuruk, we simply don’t know much about him anyways, let alone Avatar Szeto. The scene in _Korra_ where she bends three elements as a preschool-age child made me angry as it violates clearly established lore. Yangchen was known to be the Avatar essentially from the beginning of her life, but she didn’t know. She _suspected_ being the Avatar at age 11, but her visions only really made sense to her after she was told to be the Avatar at 16 years old. Kyoshi was identified by Father Glowworm, by the way, which is a major plot point for the Kyoshi novels. She wasn’t identified through an instance of the Avatar State.

I like this channel it keep the avatar franchise a little bit alive cause we havent really got something nice after LOK

In the Korra Avatar Chronicle it states in the Unalaq page “…I am sorry that you wont have the connection with me, with aang, and with all the lives that you’ve lived before”. So basically the next Avatar is as of a clean slate as Wan.

There is one more thing. The test for firebending babies. It was described in the Kyoshi books, I know it didn't work on her but it would still be a possible tehnique

If there is a record of how the second avatar was discovered then they could use that method for the next one after Korra.

It has never come to my mind that Republic City could be a place where the next Avatar could be born! It is old Earth Kingdom territory. This might not play too much of a role, but I wonder about the "mixed races" and if that will play any affect in who the next Avatar is. They played it up in the comics for the start of Republic City. Probably won't because Avatar kyoshi was the daughter of an Airbender and an earth bender. So I'll assume it's more location based. Cool video!

I made a fan made Avatar that would succeed Kora called Aku I think its been a while since I drew him. And like Kyoshi he also used a weapon which was a katana. He had a trench coat, wraps around his hands and those typical earth bender round hats

Those two ideas on how to find the next avatar sounds good, but I have a different idea of how to find the alpha tower after Korra. First of all, I don’t know if the earth kingdom will still have a king or not, but in this case, once avatar, Korra passed away, the white lotus begin the search for the next avatar immediately in the leader of the earth kingdom decreed that every earth kingdom parents would bring their newborns\ babies to be tested to see if they’re in the next avatar or not. Wendy find the one particular baby, he or she recognize one of the items or pictures or even the elements and bend them. Everyone will know who the next avatar is.

Whoever the next avatar will be is gonna have huge shoes to fill

Hopefully Korra lived a long long life with asami 🥰

If the Earth Federation is ever going to be a villain in the next Avatar series it's also possible that they find the Avatar before anyone else does and capture it and put into an underground lab so they can train him without any one able to reach the Avatar and eventually use as a weapon (obviously is gonna rebel against them)

I think they'll do both get the records of anyone born at roughly the same (Cause all clocks might not be perfectly synchronized) then pull out a more traditional test. In this case cause they're so close to Korra the necklace she made for Asami. I also think it would bema nice touch if the next Avatar said her name when picking up the necklace.

The yangchen books are so good!!!! I’m reading the first one currently and I love it

this is a W fr

I agree the first option seems more likely to happen. I loved the video! :)

I mean it there is a chance that it dose not take place in the future, cause Korra has a 1920s vibe so 70 years in the future would be a 90s esthetic

On an unrelated note, it would also be cool if the new series explored what happened to the sand benders and foggy swamp tribe.

I prefer the first option too! But I think there's another method too, I know real show makers can't take ideas from fans or their works, but I think they can have some inspiration and make it that they're struggling to find the next avatar and they do what did with Kyoshi (and Genshi) and to calm the public they say they "found" the avatar. But something happens to the real avatar and he/she is suddenly bending fire all of sudden and whoever is around is like, wait: "I thought you were an earthbender?" and then the dominos fall from there

While we know that Aang was born when Roku died, but we don't know the specifics of the others there. So the birth time method may not be something that would work if there is a larger range of dates there. It also assumes that the kid would be born in a hospital at all, and that they'd also know the time when Korra dies.

BRO LOVE THE MUSIC CHOICE. SNORTING WORMS BRO

My guess is that if they're going to do another Avatar series that's roughly 100 years after the Legend of Korra, the technology will probably be close to our current level of technology, maybe a little more advanced. As for the methods that you suggested, they might do a mixture of the two. When Korra dies, there might be 100+ babies born on that day. They would have to look up birth records, and then, depending on how many babies were born, they would use the first method mentioned to determine which one is the next avatar.

A real world test for the avatar would be appropriate

And what if it’s as simple as Korra first finding the Dark Avatar and having them find the next person in the cycle? Raava and Vaatu are eternally connected, where there is light there will always be darkness and vice versa. That’s what it means to have balance. What’s more is that Korra could teach the Dark Avatar not so much to exclusively follow her example, but to choose their own path, while still making sure that they don’t involve the innocent. Vaatu is the Spirit of Darkness and Chaos, that doesn’t necessarily mean that Vaatu is evil.

I like your whole republic city idea but I think they’ll probably be in the earth kingdom unlike Korra won’t easily bend the other elements and they’ll be more grounded unlike her won’t be found for a while maybe after they move to republic city

I think a completely modern day Avatar would be cool like maybe one from this century

2:20 You're a very handsome guy!

I do have to say; while in Roku's story telling of his death; the transition was instantaneous its not proven that it happens at the exact same time; he just says 'and then you were born' which leaves the writers the option to allow for time passing, or for the transition to be instantaneous currently there is not a moment where the writers have outright stated how soon after death the rebirth takes place. Additionally, if the rumors of a new season happening 100 years in the future are true, its more likely that we'll get Korra's 3rd reincarnation; a fire bender, rather than earth as Korra is already inher 20's by the end of her series. If we wait 100 years, Korra would most likely have been dead for decades, unless she found a way to live to the ripe age of 100+ ( I know that's not unheard of in Avatar, but its mostly those from the earth kingdom or sages). So either we're going to get a story starting with a realized avatar in their 30's+ who's already been found and is dealing with what it means to hold the Avatar title in a world that may need one even less than in Korra's time, OR, the Earth bender Avatar dies at a young age for some reason, and we're actually following the Fire nation Avatar. Thoughts on this? heres how the math in my head works out: Korra is 21 at the end of Book 4; If we are generous and give her an additional 70 years of life, she will pass away at 91 years. If the next story takes place 100 years after Book 4 of Legend of Korra, that leaves a gap of around 30 years, regardless of whether the avatar rebirth in instantaneous or not, that still means we'll end up with an Avatar aged 28 - 30. All this IF Korra lives past 90; if she passes earlier, we'd get an Avatar somewhere in their 40's or 50's making it much more likely that they have an 'accident' and die early if the Writers want us to follow the story of a young avatar rather than an old one.

Well we don’t know if the next avatar show will happen but if it does I might or might not be good and might be a small series plus it might be very bad if it is cyber punk for this franchise is fantasy

The world of Kora recalls the interwar period so looking at what changes have taken place in our world in 80 years, it may be similar in the world of avatars. The new avatar may be the next one after Kora. But that's just a theory.

Forget the Avatar for second, I almost wonder how people will feel about Avatar going into something more sci-fi of a setting. I didn't know about that detail until watching this video and now that gets me curious.

Imagine that in the new series, first season is about two (or myb more) friends. BUT the reveal who is the avatar is at the end of the first season and not in the beginning.

I truely hope the past avatars will get their connections restored back to Rawa somehow so the old avatar circle will prevail again.

the question is, in a cyberpunk world with all that technology, and hight tech weapons. how much do they even care about the avatar? what if some even see him as a dread, searching for another reason. Form Korras time to Cyberpunk, feels like there is a gab.

Here's a weird theory. Similar to the way aang recconected with roku, is it possible for this new avatar to find the special items of the previous avatars and idk, enter the avatar state while holding them and search for some sort of faint spiritual essence. I was thinking about it like the spirit world. Spirits usually leave essences like a trail i guess. So just follow the breadcrumbs while chanting the names

Hey, the moment Roku died was NOT the moment Aang was born - there can be up to a week of wiggle room, though I can't remember where that info comes from.

I have a theory, the name of the avatar rhymes with the previous avatar’s pet, roku’s pet with fang and that rhymes with aang, there’s appa and korra that are near-rhymes, korra’s pet is naga so the next avatr’s name should rhyme with naga

I hope it's a sandbender

The Avatar Spirit transfers to a new host while the baby is in utero. Not at birth. That may result in a couple weeks to a couple months of delay between the time of the previous Avatar dying and the new Avatar being born. I'd imagine if they used that approach they would ask for the birth records of everyone from the day the Avatar died to 3 months out.

Finding the next avatar will be easy since the spirits also live in human world.they could just ask spirits to find the avatar

I hope to see the next Avatar somehow redeem the connection to the Avatars before Korra

Wonder if the avatar toys are still around.

The dude could liquefy earth that level of advanced earth bending isn’t common

Avatars tend to last 100 years for each lifetime

What if the next Avatar(s) are twins? Each bending two elements and only together they can use the avatar state, for example. They could be born while their parents are traveling, and due to an accident they are then separated. One growing up in Republic City, the other among elemental bending & more or less sentient animals.

actually, there is still room for error with the method of comparing korra's time of death to a newborn's time of birth. Korra might not die in the hospital and therefore the time of death might vary a few minutes to maybe even several hours. On the other hand, the new avatar could also not be born in a hospital, posing the same problem of the time being off ever so slightly.

i hope in the next avatars movie/ show he finds a way to unlock the memories of the previous avatars that kora got of

I would also put Naga's collar in the box. So maybe the box would be a retest for later?

Just because the Avatar won't be able to directly talk to the past Avatars besides Korra doesn't mean their memories are gone forever. Even if I'm wrong, the next Avatar being born in Republic City might unlock a lot of memories from Avatar Korra's life since, after she left her home, she remained mostly in Republic City. There are so many possibilities that could unfold. Heck, the next Avatar might even have a stronger spiritual connection and figure out a way to unlock the memories of a few other previous Avatars, like Aang, Roku, and Kyoshi.

When Is the next avater series going live

And then after that next avatar I hope you can make one of the avatar a composite bender And then after that next avatar, I hope you can make one of the Avatar a composite Bender.

If you could only watch 3 episodes of avatar, which ones would they be. (If it’s a part episode you can have both parts)

I hope they make some possibility to reconnect again to the past Avatars, I mean the first Circle is gone but Korra is still alive and probably (Hope so) know them and could be that this makes it that Korra or tthe new Avatar can find a Connection again

To me if we follow the elements cycle the next avatar it’s either going to a earth bender or a fire bender we already had air avatar aang, korra was water!

There is a third option, the spirits themselves will identify the avatar going forward

Like Yang Chen Korra didn't need to be tested.

KING

Could still be like a 100 babies born within a minute or so of Korra dying. They could use the record to narrow it down, and then visit each child individually with the toy box

i feel like the next avatar after korra will be able to reconnect the past lives to rava kind of like righting the wrong of korra in a way

7:11 The next avatar could also be born in the Earth kingdom and his or her family moves to republic city

actally i thought that there couldnt be another avatar since the last epsiode of season 2 when the conection to past avatars was severed

Everything I know about the avatar after Korra: 1. It'll look like Asami 2. It'll be born in the Earth kingdom

It’s me yall 😹🙏🏽

It's possible they could base the future of the Earth Kingdom on China, where there are very technologically advanced mega cities, but very rural areas. The idea of being able to track everyone born may not be likely. If the next Avatar was born in a small village, he'd likely go somewhere larger to train to learn the other elements.

Wow I like it I am using Apple now

it would better if it was two babies born instead but the other one who is the avatar was not recored maybe because of being a secret baby or something and the other one being mistaken as the avatar it will be interesting to see a plot like this

The next Avatar should have a personality similar to Toph

please dont tell me thats asami handing the boy that necklace korra made, PLEASE DONT TELL ME BECAUSE IM CRYING

Oh shoot, i think it's the first time i see his face!

Every avatar fixes the last one mistake so he will be able to find all the avatar

Idea of "cyberpunk" avatar is little strange to me and its not just about very dif. feel (thats part of it), but with such advancements the ability to use all elements dosnt seem as important anymore. In that world you prob can do all useful stuff just using techs and knowledge instead of relying on bending. Its kinda make feel Avatar useless. Unless you focus more on spirits and spirits world troubles, maybe necessity of spirits to assist and maybe heal this world? Not sure.

Process of finding avatar is exact copy of real life process of finding next dalai lama.

Imagine if Republic City influence expands due to its success and more nations start integrating other benders and cultures into their walls. I mean, Republic City is like a reference to the USA, right? In how The US welcomes all races and cultures.

I hope it’s a bloodbender

off topic but you look FINEEEE

I thougth the next avatar series would take place in a modern world like in real life

If they’re smart, they’re gonna have to retcon Korra losing her connections to all the past lives

well,there is a way,since the avatar is the bridge to real and the spirit world the avatar can idk jump to the spirit world and find the spirits from the previus avatars.....

I hope the Fire Avatar is in a space farring avatar world.
