And, based on Korra's age, we know that Aang didn't enjoy an unexplainably long life, dying at only 66, biologically.Īang's age is complicated by the 100 years he spent frozen in ice before siblings Katara and Sokka ( Jack De Sena) discovered him at the beginning of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Aang saw a close call in his series when Azula ( Grey DeLisle) electrocutes him in the crystal catacombs of Ba Sing Se, but Katara manages to bring him back from the brink of death with spirit water. And Sozin ( Ron Perlman), the Firelord who began the war, lived until 102. King Bumi ( André Sogliuzzo) lives to at least 112, and Avatar: The Last Airbender shows him still active at that age. However, even non-avatar characters live a surprisingly long time. Roku ( James Garrett) lived only 70 years, and Avatar Kuruk ( Jim Meskimen), known for living a short life, died at 33 due to his fights in the Spirit World. Kyoshi ( Jennifer Hale) lived an astounding 230 years, but few share her longevity. RELATED: ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Co-Creator Bryan Konietzko Is Ready to Expand the FranchiseĪvatars often live dangerous lives as they defend the balance of their world, yet many live long lives, some unnaturally so. His quest to bring balance to the world met a happy conclusion in the series when he was still young, so his later years are still largely unexplored, leading to many fans wondering about the events of Aang's death.

But the series doesn't go in-depth into what happened to end Aang's life. Aang cannot be alive for Korra's story, but his friends and children offer the new Avatar guidance, and Aang's spirit lives on in Korra.

And for the Avatar spirit to be reborn, it first must die. The Legend of Korra is about the Avatar after Aang, Korra ( Janet Varney). However, the nature of the story requires Aang's death. The minimal time gap allows for several of the original show's characters to be alive in the spin-off, including appearances from Aang's friends Katara ( Mae Whitman), Toph ( Michaela Jill Murphy), and Zuko ( Dante Basco). This indicates that the chance of Mai being the mother of Izumi is higher than 50%, as Zuko may have named his daughter after him and Mai's first physical contact with each other.As a direct sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra takes place only 70 years later. However, "Izumi" in Japanese translates to English as "fountain." Why is this familiar/relevant? Well, we learn in the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode "Zuko Alone" that Azula was aware of Mai's crush on Zuko, and publicly revealed this when they played a game in which Azula set ablaze an apple that was on Mai's head, only for Zuko to save her and subsequently, both him and Mai fall into a fountain. This indicates a 50/50 chance that Mai is the mother of Izumi.

As such, Gene could have been referring to either of them. These comics were both released prior to the 2017 Emerald City ComiCon, which took place in at 2 PM – at 5 PM PST. When doing a deeper reading into the comics, it will become known to everyone that there are two break-ups that happened: the one between Zuko and Mai (The Promise Part 2 (released in May 2012)) as well as the one between Mai and Kei Lo (Smoke and Shadow Part Three (released in April 2016)). they got back together like 3 years later." I say it is hinted but not proven because Gene directly states, "I had two characters break up, and I don't wanna say who because we're gonna get into that. It is hinted but not proven, in the 2017 Emerald City ComiCon (by writer Gene Luen Yang, who has written for the Avatar Comics, that Zuko and Mai get back together 3 years later.

Is there any canonical answer to who Fire Lord Izumi's mother was? Word of God answers are acceptable, but speculation or theories are not. However, since this is all just speculation and theories, these are not at all credible. There has been speculation that, because Izumi's name translates to "fountain", this could reference either of the aforementioned two women, since Jin's date with "Lee" ended at a fountain, and it is revealed in the The Lost Adventures comic that a fountain was significant in Zuko and Mai's past. Of course, the answer could also be neither of these two. The only named candidates that I am aware of, based on those Zuko was romantically involved with during the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender, would be Mai, who was Zuko's girlfriend in the 3rd season (Book 3: Fire), or possibly Jin, who Zuko went on a date with under the false name "Lee" during the 2nd season (Book 2: Earth). Izumi, Zuko's daughter, who was the current Fire Lord throughout the events of The Legend of Korra: who was her mother?
