Avatar How Aang Died After The Last Airbender Ended (& When)

After Avatar: The Last Airbender ended, Aang’s time in the iceberg eventually caught up with him, and he was the first member of Team Avatar to die. The sequel series The Legend of Korra, which is set 70 years after the original show, revealed that Aang remained with Katara for the rest of his life, and had three children with her. Sadly, though, Aang never got to meet his grandchildren.

People can live for a long time in the Avatar universe. Aang’s childhood friend Bumi lived to be more than 100 years old (and was still a formidable earthbender), while Avatar Kyoshi lived to the ripe old age of 230. Commenting on Kyoshi’s long life in an interview with Avatar Spirit, Avatar: The Last Airbender co-creator Bryan Konietzko explained, “Mike and I were of the idea that these people with such enhanced Chi fields might live a longer time.”

Unlike Kyoshi, Aang died of (mostly) natural causes at the relatively young biological age of 66, and was outlived by Katara by at least a couple of decades. Of course, because of his time spent in the iceberg he was actually 166 years old. The series’ other creator, Michael DiMartino, said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that Aang had to draw on his Chi to remain alive inside the iceberg for a century. “You gotta keep in mind that he was frozen in a state of suspended animation for 100 years,” DiMartino explained. “So he kind of burned up some of his extra Avatar time.”

The fight with Fire Lord Ozai wasn’t the last dangerous battle that Aang faced in his life. At the age of 40 he fought a powerful bloodbender called Yakone, who was capable of bloodbending outside of a full moon. However, the Avatar State kicked in when Yakone attempted to use bloodbending to break Aang’s neck, and he was ultimately able to win that battle. The Avatar State activates when the Avatar’s life is in danger in order to protect them, and so for the hundred years that Aang was in the iceberg, it was the Avatar State that prevented him from freezing to death. Though he remained the same age on the outside, his Chi was greatly drained by this prolonged time in the Avatar State, which is why Aang did not live as long as some of the previous Avatars.

Aang returns as a spirit in The Legend of Korra and still had a fairly young appearance at his time of death, with his beard having not yet turned grey. All four of his grandchildren are younger than the next Avatar in line, Korra, which unfortunately means that Aang died before they were born. However, in the mythology of the Avatar universe the spirits of the dead remain to watch over the world after their passing. So even if he never got to meet them in person, we can be certain that Aang was watching his family from the other side.

Some time after Aang died, his long-time friend and brother-in-law Sokka also passed away. Katara, Toph and Zuko all lived to a ripe old age, however, and were able to help guide Aang’s successor when her own time came to serve the world as the Avatar.
