Here are the top seven relationships in the Avatar world.
Number seven, Zuko and Mai.
Here, this is for you.
Was anyone really surprised
when the angsty, anger-filled, outcasted teenager
and the monotone, brooding, anti-social teenager got together?
Gee, I wonder why.
Now, beneath these descriptions,
both Zuko and Mai actually have a lot more depth
to their characters.
I like you when you express yourself.
Don't touch me!
I'm still mad at you.
The way they each learn to eventually do the right thing
shows just how similar they really are.
What are you doing?
Saving the jerk who dumped me.
And we learn that even as children,
Zuko and Mai were drawn to each other.
I mean, come on,
is there a more perfect match than these two?
Thanks.
OK, I know this is at the bottom of our list,
which means there are actually six more perfect matches coming up,
but still, this is a pretty perfect match.
I know one thing I care about.
I care about you.
Number six, Varrick and Zhu Li.
When we first met Varrick,
Zhu Li was simply his extremely overworked assistant.
Troubling is when I get that itchy rash that won't go away
and Zhu Li's not around to scratch it.
This is shocking!
Nay, sickening!
But these kale cookies? Opposite.
Remind me to get the recipe later.
And Varrick seemed to have no idea how lucky he was to have her.
Thank you, Zhu Li.
Your assistance's in there, too?
Zhu Li never leaves my side.
[spitting]
You forgot the honey!
Sorry, sir, there isn't any in here.
No honey?!
We're in a bear, for crying out loud!
I mean, it was almost like she could read his mind.
- Bolin, do the thing. - What thing?
The thing!
I never had to tell Zhu Li what thing!
So it wasn't until Zhu Li finally got fed up
with his lack of appreciation that she left him.
I did everything you ever asked of me and you never appreciated it.
Guards, do the thing.
No, not the thing!
Leaving Varrick to finally understand
just how much he needed Zhu Li in his life.
Zhu Li...
But not just because she was a great assistant,
but because he truly cared about her.
And when they were finally reunited,
he learned that she never stopped caring about him either.
Please let me go first.
I know I said a lot of terrible things about you in front of Kuvira,
but I need you to know I didn't mean one word.
When you were being taken away,
I thought my only chance to save you was to join her.
Every day I hoped for the chance to see you again and tell you the truth.
Varrick, you mean the world to me and I'm sorry if I hurt you in any way.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
Leading Varrick to ask Zhu Li that ever-important question.
Zhu Li Moon,
will you do the thing for the rest of our lives?
Yes.
Yes!
Now let's go attach these barely functional rust buckets
to a giant killer smashing machine!
Number five, Sokka and Yue.
Hi there. Sokka, Southern Water Tribe.
Very nice to meet you.
As the first fully realized love story to play out in the Avatar world,
the story of Sokka and Yue left us absolutely heartbroken.
Ooh, yeah!
[sighs] Good times, good times.
First, even though their feelings for each other were clear,
we learned that Yue was actually engaged
to probably the worst person in the Northern Water Tribe.
Princess Yue is marrying you?
Yeah, what of it?
Nothing. Congratulations.
And then, just when Sokka and Yue began to grow close...
Goodbye, Sokka.
I will always be with you.
My first girlfriend turned into the Moon.
That's rough, buddy.
Number four, Sokka and Suki.
When Sokka first met Suki,
he didn't exactly make a great first impression.
Sorry, ladies, didn't mean to interrupt your dance lesson.
I was just looking for somewhere to get a little workout.
But once she helped to teach him a little humility...
This may be a little tough, but try to block me.
[screams]
[nervous chuckle]
Good.
Of course, I was going easy on you.
Of course.
Let's see if you can handle this!
[screams]
[grunts]
That does it!
[screaming]
[grunting]
[screams]
Anything else you want to teach us?
[laughing]
And he did a little growing up.
- I'm sorry. - For what?
I treated you like a girl when I should have treated you like a warrior.
I am a warrior.
But I'm a girl, too.
The pair hit it off very quickly.
The next time they met, it did take Sokka some time to warm back up to Suki,
since he was still confused about his feelings for Yue.
It's a beautiful moon.
Yeah, it really is.
Look, I know you're just trying to help, but I can take care of myself.
I know you can.
Then why are you acting so overprotective?
It's so hard to lose someone you care about.
Something happened at the North Pole and I couldn't protect someone.
I don't want anything like that to ever happen again.
I can't.
But eventually they proved how much they cared about each other
by going to any lengths to protect one another.
[grunting]
Where is Suki?
How did that happen?
Did boomerang come back?
No, Suki did!
Number three, Katara and Aang.
From the start of the series,
it was pretty obvious that Aang had a bit of a thing for Katara.
Why are you smiling at me like that?
Oh, I was smiling?
[groans]
But this polar bear puppy love is nothing compared
to the strong relationship the pair had by the end of Book Three.
Through their travels, they each had their ups and downs,
but the one thing that remained constant was that they had each other,
whether it was to teach one another...
Master Pakku said this move is all about sinking and floating.
I got it!
Pick each other up when they were down...
[sobbing]
[groaning]
Or just have fun.
It's no wonder their bond became so strong
it led to one of the best families in the Avatar world.
As I've been telling you for the last 15 minutes,
we are... finally... here.
Number two, Korra and Asami.
Early on, as part of a crazy love triangle,
Korra and Asami had a bit of a rocky start to their relationship.
Eventually, however, Korra realized she had misjudged Asami
and the two quickly developed a strong friendship.
That was amazing!
I didn't think we'd make it!
Well, you can't be afraid to mix it up sometimes.
I got to admit, I had you pegged wrong.
I thought you were kind of prissy.
No offense!
But when Asami helped Korra through a difficult time in her life...
Dear Asami, I'm sorry I haven't written to you sooner,
but every time I tried, I never knew what to say.
The past two years have been the hardest of my life.
Please don't tell Mako and Bolin I wrote to you and not them.
I don't want to hurt their feelings,
but it's easier to tell you about this stuff.
I don't think they'd understand.
They both began to realize
that their bond was stronger than just friendship.
I hope you haven't been waiting long.
Only three years!
It's so good to see you again!
You, too.
They had spent their entire relationship
working together through countless battles and hardships,
so when there was finally peace
and they finally had time to spend together,
their history and strong friendship became the foundation
of one of the strongest romantic relationships in the Avatar world.
Honestly, after everything that's happened the past few months,
I could use a vacation.
Let's do it, let's go on a vacation, just the two of us.
Anywhere you want.
Really?
OK...
I've always wanted to see what the Spirit World's like.
Sounds perfect.
Number one, Oma and Shu.
While they only appear in one episode of Avatar The Last Airbender,
the impact and strength of Oma and Shu's relationship
is undeniable.
The two lovers learned earthbending from the badgermoles.
They became the first earthbenders.
Not only did their love drive them to do the impossible,
but it brought an end to a terrible war.
One day, the man didn't come.
He died in the war between their two villages.
Devastated, the woman unleashed a terrible display
of her earthbending power.
She could have destroyed them all...
But instead, she declared the war over.
It also sparked the origin of a great city.
Both villages helped her build a new city
where they would live together in peace.
And shaped the very future of earthbending.
But most importantly gave us this fan-favorite song.
