Top 10 Most Heartbreaking Avatar & The Legend of Korra Moments

[Music] around here every day is avatar day even when it hurts welcome to Ms mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 most heartbreaking avatar and The Legend of Korra moments for this list we'll be looking at two shows that never play it safe when it comes to the darker side of life and all the tear bending moments that grabbed us deepest in the fields warning spoiler alert number 10 Jett is redeemed I've done some things in my past that I'm not proud of but that's why I'm going to Ba Sing se for a new beginning though they're technically on the same side Jett and the gang haven't always seen eye to eye but when he resurfaces in Ba Sing se Jett is a changed man true that's partly because he's been brainwashed but he does genuinely seem to want to make amends for his past wrongs it's all starting to come back to me after leading team avatar to the Dai Lee's secret base under Lake laogai Jett does epic battle against oppas kidnappers and even his own brain breaking free of his brainwashing to try and take out long thing [Music] tragically his heroism costs him his life and the fresh start he'd rightfully earned Jets greatest moment was also one of the show's saddest don't worry Katara I'll be fine number nine the death of one before you get to her you'll have to go through me a big turning point in the Legend of Korra was the introduction of the first avatar WAN though we only get to spend two episodes with him we still see an incredible journey as he evolves from a reckless thief into a compassionate hero raava the only way to win is together when he accidentally releases the dark spirit vaatu and it's chaos on the world Quan devotes the rest of his life to working with the light spirit raava to restore balance but even with all his power and courage he's just one person I'm sorry raava I failed to bring peace even with vaatu locked away darkness still surrounds humanity in his last moments one can only see what he thinks is his failure to fix his mistake and our hearts ache knowing that he can't understand all the good he still managed to do there wasn't enough time don't worry we will be together for all of your lifetimes and we will never give up number eight the avatar connection is destroyed when Korra takes on her uncle una lock and the dark spirit vaatu the stakes are too high to escape without intense consequences but we weren't expecting anything quite so cosmic una lock manages to gain the upper hand tearing Cora's avatar connection the light spirit raava right out of her body and pummeling it each strike erasing a little more of the avatar line we see thousands of years of spiritual connection just vanish including Roku Kyoshi and the newly introduced one but nothing is more upsetting than seeing the spirit of Anglo into karmic dust except maybe realizing what this means for the Avatar cycle itself it was crushing to think that it really might be gone for good the cycle is over I'm the last avatar I'm so sorry Tenzin number seven you a sacrifices herself she may not be a bender or a warrior but princess you a commits what might be the most selfless act of heroism in the entire series yes you're right it gave me life maybe I can give it back saved as an infant by a blessing from the moon spirit you a is the only person on earth who can bring it back to life after Admiral Zhao destroys it I don't have to do that it's my duty Sokka I won't let you your father told me to protect you I have to do this in returning the spirits gift she knows that she will give up her own mortal life and everyone she loves but you a steps up without a second thought saving her people and restoring balance to nature she's God she's gone we're in awe of her commitment to what is right and that's what makes her sacrifice such a heavy one goodbye supper I'll always be with you [Music] number six Zuko is disgraced Zuko seems like a pretty clear villain when we first meet him but halfway through book 1 we get a whole other side of the angry prince can't sacrifice an entire division like that those soldiers love and defend our nation how can you betray them through Iroh we learned that Zuko once spoke out of turn in a war meeting and how his father Fire Lord Ozai tried to force him to duel as punishment please father I only had the fire nation's best interests at heart I'm sorry it spoke out of turn you will fight for your honor when Zuko refused not only did Ozai banished him with a crazy mission to find a long-lost avatar but he gave Zuko the massive scar that dominates his face you will learn respect and suffering will be your teacher I looked away once the source of Zuko's anger and obsession had been revealed it's impossible to see him as evil he was a traumatised teenager in way over his head and we feel deeply for his suffering that's why he's so obsessed capturing the avatar is the only chance he has of things returning to normal number five Aang discovers the fate of the air nomads firebenders you were here when Aang comes out of the iceberg after a century he seems to be the last airbender anyone can remember seeing but it isn't until he returns to his former home at the southern air temple that he learns the awful truth piazza hey Aang you find my dinner yet Aang I wasn't really gonna eat the Lemur okay man finding the skeleton of his beloved mentor Natsu surrounded by Fire Nation remains Aang is faced with the horrifying realization that his people haven't just disappeared they were slaughtered Aang can't take it as he spirals into the Avatar state his grief and guilt are overwhelming I'm it's the first time we've you earlier stayed that Aang was not just some goofball and avatar was more than just a cartoon no for Appa is lost and abused as hard as it was to watch Aang and his friends struggle over losing Appa it was a million times more devastating to see what poor Appa had to go through you're about to be sorry our sweet sky bison had never known a life away from his best friend Aang and unfortunately the world he discovers out on his own is not a nice one being sold to a circus owner who uses fire to frighten and control him a run-in with Azula getting captured by the Dai Li being chased and attacked Appa just can't catch a break my my you're easy to find it's really astounding my brother hasn't captured you yet it would hurt to see any of our favorite characters go through this but when it happens to our gentle giant it's all just too much to handle [Music] number three Zuko reconciles with Iroh Zuko has made a lot of mistakes and the most significant one was when he betrayed his uncle Iroh his biggest champion to chase his father's approval I betrayed uncle no he betrayed you in season three though Zuko finally gets his priorities sorted out and making things right with Iroh is high on the to-do list uncle I know you must have mixed feelings about seeing me but I want you to know I am so so sorry uncle not only is it a huge moment of personal growth when Zuko admits he was wrong and begs for forgiveness but it's truly beautiful to see how easily Iroh is ready to give it I'm so sorry it was shamed of what I did I don't know how I can ever make it up to you [Music] the unconditional love he has for his nephew is the kind of thing that would melt the hardest heart and seeing this relationship repaired is a moment that we all need to experience I was never angry with you I was sad because I was afraid you've lost your way [Music] number two Cora dies by far the most personally difficult villain Cora ever faced is Sahir [Music] sometimes it was hard to imagine how she would beat him but it was still a huge shock when she almost didn't you can't fight me and the poison when the Red Lotus poisons her Korra is already devastated thinking that her father has been killed and though her avatar state enables her to fight back and defeat them it's almost too much for her body to withstand Korra sweetheart it's me Dad please hang low without su Yin Korra wouldn't have survived at all and even though she does the effects of Zaheer's physical and emotional torture would haunt her for a long time though Korra can seem invincible this reminded us that she has a breaking point too and that's rough to watch who knew that a cartoon could be this emotional before we unveil our most devastating number one pick here are some honorable mentions Hido she Sato sacrifices himself [Music] Lyne loses her bending tell me where the avatar is and I'll let you keep your bending I won't tell you anything you monster very well Sokka doesn't remember his mother I'm gonna tell you something crazy I never told anyone this before but honestly I'm not sure I can remember what my mother looked like it really seems like my whole life Katara's been the one looking out for me she's always been the one that's there Katara becomes a blood bender you're going to be locked away forever my work is done congratulations Katara your blood bender or so vanishes Zuko please my love listen to me everything I've done I've done to protect you remember this Zuko no matter how things may seem to change never forget who you are before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you have the option to be notified for occasional

wouldn't be unreasonable to say that Iroh is the soul of Avatar throughout the series he can always be counted on for good advice good tea and good humor with a poor stance you are unbalanced and you can be easily knocked over the man has the biggest kindest heart of any character but you'd never know that it's a broken one when Iroh sings for the Sun he lost we realized just how much pain he keeps hidden inside happy birthday my son only I could have helped you it's clear that some things can never be fixed or overcome and how unfair life can be to good people falling so slow like fragile tyranny shows there's nothing more heart shattering than hearing iroh's voice break as he relives his terrible loss this is someone who deserves so much more happiness than he's had and we can't do anything to help comes marching home do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from ms mojo and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be notified about our latest videos [Music]
