Revision as of 00:03, 13 July 2012

The Legend of Korra is an American animated television series created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko.[1] A sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender, the series first aired on Nickelodeon in 2012. Two seasons with a total of 52 episodes have been ordered.[2]

Like its predecessor, the series is set in a fictional world inspired by Asian and Inuit cultures, and inhabited by people who can manipulate the elements of water, earth, fire or air through an ability called "bending". One person, the "Avatar", has the ability to bend all four elements. Reincarnating in turn among the world's four nations, he or she is responsible for maintaining the balance in the world. Korra, the series' protagonist, is the next incarnation of the Avatar after Aang of Avatar: The Last Airbender.[3] Set seventy years after the first series, in a metropolis reminiscent of U.S. and Asian cities of the 1920s, the series follows Korra as she learns airbending and faces an anti-bender revolutionary group, the "Equalists", led by the masked Amon.[3]

Seventy years after the end of the original series, the Order of the White Lotus discovers the new Avatar, Korra, in the Southern Water Tribe. By the age of 17, Korra has mastered all elements except air. Master Tenzin, Katara's and Aang's son, and only airbending master, postpones Korra's airbending training in order to take care of matters in Republic City; but Korra convinces him to train her. After a clash with local triads, she is arrested by Lin Beifong, head of Republic City's metalbending police force and the daughter of Toph. Meanwhile, antagonist 'Amon' is revealed as the leader of the anti-bender "Equalist" movement.

Frustrated by her inability to bend air, Korra visits Republic City's pro-bending arena against Tenzin's wishes. There, she meets Bolin and Mako, two brothers on the "Fire Ferrets" pro-bending team, and becomes their team-mate. Korra initially suffers due to her inexperience, but wins the match by use of air-bending movements; wherefore Tenzin, impressed, allows Korra to stay on the team.

Trying to collect money for their pro-bending fees, Bolin is recruited by the Triple Threat Triads, with whom he is abducted by the Equalists. At an Equalist rally, Amon demonstrates his ability to permanently remove the bending powers of the captive gangsters; but Mako and Korra rescue Bolin before Amon can do the same to him.
44"The Voice in the Night"Joaquim Dos Santos & Ki Hyun RyuMichael Dante DiMartino & Bryan KonietzkoApril 28, 2012 (2012-04-28)1044.08[7]
Republic City Councilman Tarrlok creates a task force to capture Amon, and eventually recruits the reluctant Korra. Mako gains a sweetheart in Asami Sato, the daughter of industrialist Hiroshi Sato, who agrees to sponsor the Fire Ferrets' presence in the competition. After some success in the task force, Korra publicly challenges Amon to a duel; but she is ambushed and restrained by Equalists, and Amon does not hurt her, on grounds of fear to make her a martyr. He will thus save Korra for last.
55"The Spirit of Competition"Joaquim Dos Santos & Ki Hyun RyuMichael Dante DiMartino & Bryan KonietzkoMay 5, 2012 (2012-05-05)1053.78[8]

66"And the Winner Is..."Joaquim Dos Santos & Ki Hyun RyuMichael Dante DiMartino & Bryan KonietzkoMay 12, 2012 (2012-05-12)1063.88[9]
Amon threatens to attack the pro-bending arena if the Council does not cancel the championship; but Chief Lin Beifong convinces Tarrlok otherwise by offering to protect the stadium. Despite tensions resulting from a prior relationship, Tenzin and Lin agree to cooperate therein. During the match the Wolfbats defeat the Fire Ferrets by foul play. When the match is over, the Equalists neutralize Chief Beifong's metalbenders using electric gloves; whereas Amon strips the Wolfbats of their bending abilities and ruins the stadium.
77"The Aftermath"Joaquim Dos Santos & Ki Hyun RyuMichael Dante DiMartino & Bryan KonietzkoMay 19, 2012 (2012-05-19)1073.45[10]
Tarrlok calls for Lin Beifong's dismissal as chief of police after Amon's attack on the pro-bending arena; whereas Mako and Bolin move into the Sato mansion. While visiting them, Korra overhears implication that Hiroshi Sato is colluding with the Equalists. She informs Chief Beifong and Tenzin, who launch an investigation but find no evidence. A mysterious source tells Korra that Sato has a secret factory under his mansion used to manufacture weapons for the Equalists. When Korra, Tenzin, and Beifong discover the secret factory, they are attacked by Equalists using mecha-like combat robots built by Sato. Beifong's metalbending police are captured and taken to Amon; but Mako, Bolin, and Asami rescue Korra, Tenzin, and Beifong. Beifong intends to resign her post and to rescue her officers "outside of the law", and Korra offers Mako, Bolin, and Asami residency on Tenzin's Air Temple Island.
88"When Extremes Meet"Joaquim Dos Santos & Ki Hyun RyuMichael Dante DiMartino & Bryan KonietzkoJune 2, 2012 (2012-06-02)1082.98[11]
At his induction as Beifong's replacement, Police Chief Saikhan vows to support Tarrlok's task force; but Korra quarrels with Tarrlok. As she expresses frustration with her inability to airbend, Tenzin asks her to obtain help from her past lives by meditating on brief visions of Aang. Asami, Mako, Bolin, and Korra patrol the city and capture escaping Equalists, to Tarrlok's disapproval. Soon after Tarrlok places all non-benders under a curfew, Korra tries to free unarmed civilians captured by police, and Tarrlok arrests her friends to stop her. Korra refuses to comply with his wishes to secure her friends' release, and compares him to Amon, whereupon Tarrlok attacks her; eventually to subdue her by revealing his blood-bending powers.

Tarrlok locks Korra in a platinum box, publicly claiming that Equalists abducted her. In response, Lin Beifong breaks Korra's friends out of jail and, with Tenzin, infiltrate the Equalist hideout and discover that Tarrlok lied. Confronting Tarrlok in City Hall, a witness exposes Tarrlok's actions and bloodbending powers, which Tarrlock uses it to disable the group and escape. During this time, Korra learns from Aang's past that 42 years prior, a mobster named Yakone was brought to trial on charges of bloodbending, without needing a full moon; but escaped his trial by bloodbending the court into submission, whereupon Aang recaptured him and removed his bending. Upon his return to the cabin, Tarrlok confirms Korra's deduction that he is Yakone's son, attempting to rule Republic City from a political seat. Thereafter escape is thwarted by the Equalists, when his bloodbending proves ineffective against Amon. As Tarrlok is taken by Amon, Korra escapes and is borne to her friends by Naga.

Tenzin is attacked at City Hall and learns that the other council members have been captured by Equalists. Amon's Zeppelins are bombing Republic City as Tenzin reaches police headquarters, where he wires the United Forces for help. Forced to evacuate headquarters, Equalist mecha-tanks attack and capture Chief Saikhan and many officers. Korra and her friends rescue Tenzin. Meanwhile, Pema gives birth to Rohan as Equalist airships arrive at Air Temple Island. Lin Beifong and the airbender children defeat the invaders. While Korra goes into hiding, Tenzin flees with his family to preserve the last airbenders. Lin destroys an airship which pursues them, allowing the airbenders to escape, but is captured and has her bending taken by Amon when she refuses to reveal Korra’s whereabouts.

Meanwhile, Korra's friends prepare an assault on the Equalists' mountain airbase to prevent the sinking of a relief fleet under Commander Bumi, Tenzin's brother.
1212"Endgame"Joaquim Dos Santos & Ki Hyun RyuMichael Dante DiMartino & Bryan KonietzkoJune 23, 2012 (2012-06-23)1123.68[14]

Amon then reveals that he has captured Tenzin and his family, whom Korra and Mako then free. Amon overpowers Mako and Korra, and removes her bending powers; but is overcome when Korra achieves air bending after long failure, and his escape unmasks him publicly as a waterbender. He flees Republic City, taking Tarrlok, who uses an Equalist lightning glove to detonate their motor boat. At the South Pole, Katara is unable to heal Korra's severance from water, earth, and fire. As Korra sits weeping at a cliff's edge, Aang and other Avatars appear to her, and Aang restores her connection, explaining that her despondency allowed her to overcome the difficulties encountered earlier. After the lovestruck Korra and Mako kiss, Korra enters the Avatar State to restore Lin Beifong's bending.
