Avatar The Last Airbender – The Best Thing Every Villain Did Ranked

Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Best Thing Every Villain Did, Ranked

The villains of Avatar: The Last Airbender could occasionally do some good, even by accident. Here are the best things they ever did.

You Are Reading :[thien_display_title]

One of the many amazing features of Avatar: The Last Airbender is the presence of antagonists who, despite their arrogance and shameless greed for power, are surprisingly soft and relatable when they need to be. This does not make them good people, obviously, but it highlights their capacity for something more than plain and pure villainy.

Several villains not only manage to redeem themselves but also end up changing the direction of the story in a positive way. As such, it’s important to evaluate some of the best things that these negative characters have done during the course of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

10 Jet — Overcomes The Effects Of Dai Li Hypnotism

Jet’s introduction suggests that he’s on the same side as Team Avatar, but they eventually learn that he intends to restore “balance” by committing atrocities against innocent civilians.

Although he is captured by the Dai Li in Ba Sing Se and hypnotized into becoming Long Feng’s personal bodyguard, Aang urges him to remember what he stands for. Jet has flashbacks about his time as a Freedom Fighter, and successfully overcomes his brainwashing. It’s sad that he dies, though. Or does he?

9 Combustion Man — Brings Zuko And Team Avatar Together

Combustion Man is one of the most formidable opponents faced by Team Avatar, arguably more dangerous than Fire Lord Ozai himself. The combined bending efforts of Aang, Katara, and Toph, do little to hold him off (but he is visibly inconvenienced.)

Despite the fact that Zuko engages Combustion Man’s services in the first place, he is also responsible for saving Aang at the Western Air Temple when the assassin has the Avatar in his cross-hairs. Combustion Man’s feelings about the subject don’t matter as much as his role in completing Team Avatar’s final roster.

8 Mai & Ty Lee — Rejecting Azula’s Demands

Ty Lee and Mai are quite devoted to Azula, partly due to fear, but mostly because they grow up together and share a close relationship.

Therefore, it is quite a shock to the Fire Princess when Mai allows Zuko, Suki, and Sokka to escape Boiling Rock. Azula tries to bring Mai down with her Firebending but finds herself chi-blocked by none other than Ty Lee, who tries (unsuccessfully) to flee the scene with Mai.

7 Zhao — Listens To Uncle Iroh’s Warning (Once)

Zhao is as ruthless in battle as he is cowardly, a combination that lends his character the perfect amount of villainy. He tries to attack Zuko after losing the Agni Kai against the Fire Prince, prompting Iroh to block Zhao and offer a stern warning. He obeys, albeit grudgingly.

However, when Iroh orders Zhao to release the Moon Spirit back into its pool, the latter nearly gives in but decides to kill the Koi at the last second. Zhao is a man who literally wastes his chances for redemption.

6 Zaheer — Helps Avatar Korra With Her Spiritual Problem

Zaheer’s plan to kill Korra in the Avatar State backfires, leaving him to weakly lament about how “chaos is the natural order” before Bolin literally puts “a sock in it.” In contrast, his reappearance in Book 4 implies that he has undergone a radical and spiritual change, spending most of his waking hours in prison journeying through the Spirit World.

Zaheer explains to Korra that her inability to enter the Spirit World has nothing to do with her fear of him. Eventually, he manages to lead the Avatar to the Spirit World.

5 Amon — Bloodbends His Brother’s Waterbending Away

Amon creates the Equalist Movement not to obtain more rights for nonbenders, but because he wants to accrue as much political power as he can for himself.

At one point, he removes access to his brother Tarrlok’s Waterbending abilities by using a rare combination of Bloodbending and Energybending. It can be argued that this act helps Team Avatar rather than hinders it, as it neutralizes a significant character who also aims to impede Korra.

4 Princess Azula — Helps Zuko Find Their Mother

Azula does nothing positive her entire time in the series, but her actions in the graphic novels speak otherwise. As aggressive and unpredictable as she still is, she does help Zuko when the latter wants to find their mother, Ursa, who had vanished several years prior.

Azula causes quite a bit of annoyance for Team Avatar during this expedition, but the fact remains that Ursa would have never been located if her daughter hadn’t actively offered her assistance.

3 Hama — Teaches Katara More Waterbending

It’s rather unfortunate that someone as skilled as Hama turns out to such a malicious person because her Waterbending is nothing short of exquisite.

Bloodbending aside, she instructs Katara in the nuances surrounding the manipulation of their native element, such as explaining how water can be extracted from unexpected places (the atmosphere and living plants, for example.) Overall, Hama’s impact on Katara cannot be considered from a purely negative outlook.

2 Kuvira — Is Responsible For Talks About Democracy

Kuvira forcibly wrests control of the Earth Kingdom through military force and is in the process of becoming a global dictator when she is defeated by a group of fighters including Team Avatar, Tenzin, Suyin, Lin, Baatar, Jr., and so on.

Watching her meteoric rise to power helps everyone, especially Earth King Wu, realize that the most effective solution to the question of governance is democracy. Ultimately, Wu organizes the first democratic elections in the district of Gaoling.

1 Fire Lord Ozai — Banishes His Son From His Home

Even Fire Lord Ozai isn’t capable of limitless cruelty, although he does come pretty close. The best thing he ever does — banishing Zuko from the Fire Nation — isn’t viewed as such until the end of the story.

During the eclipse, Zuko tells his father that he’s “learned everything, and [he] had to learn it on his own.” This scene proves that Ozai’s sending a literal child into exile is probably the best decision he has ever made. Perhaps not from his perspective, though.
