Avatar: The Last Airbender is an American animated television series created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. It aired on Nickelodeon for three seasons, from February 21, 2005, to July 19, 2008. The series is set in a world where some people can manipulate the classical elements—water, earth, fire, and air—through practices known as "bending," inspired by Chinese martial arts. The show combines elements of action-adventure, fantasy, and comedy-drama.
Plot[edit | edit source]
The series follows the adventures of Aang, a young Air Nomad and the last surviving Airbender, who is also the Avatar, the one person who can bend all four elements and is responsible for maintaining balance in the world. Aang is joined by his friends Katara, a Water Tribe waterbender, her brother Sokka, and later Toph Beifong, an earthbender. Together, they strive to end the Fire Nation's war against the other nations of the world.

- Zuko: The exiled prince of the Fire Nation who initially seeks to capture Aang to restore his honor.
