Avatar the Last Airbender Episode 5 and 6 Breakdown and Review


Episode 5 The King of Omashu

The next stop on the group's trip is the Earth Kingdom city of Omashu. There, Aang shows Katara and Sokka the Omashu mail delivery system, a massive stone causeway which he and his friend Bumi (note: a Sanskrit word meaning 'Earth') had once ridden for fun a hundred years previous. The trio gives the chutes a try but runs into trouble after it destroys a cabbage merchant's cart. Put in front of the king of the city, and elderly and erratic old man of substantial skill and strength in earthbending, the three are unexpectedly given a feast, during which it becomes obvious that the king suspects that Aang is the Avatar. When the king's suspicions are confirmed, he imprisons the three and puts Aang through three deadly challenges to test his skills and earn their freedom, including a duel with the king himself. After Aang passes all of the challenges, he realizes that the king is his old friend Bumi. King Bumi admits as much and reveals that Aang and his friends were never in any real danger but that he felt the need to provide some illustration of the heavy role Aang had to now assume as the Avatar.

Episode 6 Imprisoned

Aang, Katara, and Sokka camp near a small Earth Kingdom town where they meet a young earthbender named Haru. However, the town is occupied by the Fire Nation, and earthbending is outlawed. Katara convinces Haru to save an old man using earthbending, only to have the same old man turn Haru in. Katara then devises a plan to save Haru by getting herself arrested for earthbending, which she fakes with some help from Aang. When she arrives at the Fire Nation prison, a metal sea fortress that is impervious to earthbending, she finds that all of the prisoners have lost hope due to their inability to bend. But Katara successfully leads a rebellion with Aang and Sokka's help by giving the earthbenders all of the coal on the fortress. The earthbenders all escape and return to their occupied towns with plans to rebel against Fire Nation occupation. The episode ends with Zuko finding Katara's lost necklace.

Book One: Water is the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, an American animated television series produced by Nickelodeon Studios.

The season revolves around the protagonist Aang and his friends Katara and Sokka going on a journey to the North Pole to find a Waterbending master to teach Aang and Katara. The Fire Nation is waging a seemingly endless war against the Earth Kingdom and the Water Tribes, following the long-ago disappearance of the Air Nomads. Aang, the current Avatar, must master the four elements (Air, Water, Earth, and Fire) to end the war. Along the way, Aang and his friends are chased by various pursuers: banished Fire Nation Prince Zuko, along with his uncle and former general Iroh, and Admiral Zhao of the Fire Navy.
