After his thrilling adventures and tough times in building republic city from the ground up after the War, Aang settled down and was ready to raise his family. In doing so, he wrote a small journal detailing his experiences after the war, and taking accounts from all of his friends to hand down to Tenzin so that he could continue his legacy. One of these accounts happens to be from Sokka and it’s currently the only known communication from Sokka to Tenzin in Avatar Canon. So hit that sub button for more avatar content and lets dive in!

So right at the start of the journal, Aang describes all of his friends from team Avatar to future Tenzin. He says “As you know, your Uncle Sokka is one Of my best
friends. As the Southern Water Tribe's oldest male
once all the warriors left to fight in the Hundred
Year War, Sokka became the leader of the tribe at
a young age. He protected the village and trained
children in defense.

  • I still love how we can all agree that if sokka had bending, the show would be called, Sokka and his good pal, the Avatar
  • Honestly, I think Tenzin and Sokka had a very good relationship. He did mention that when Korra was taken by Zaheer, He along with Tonraq, Zuko and Sokka, saved her. I would naturally say that Tenzin and Sokka worked well together and possibly trained his nephew in tactics and strategizing, along with Bumi.
  • Considering how much of Aang Tenzin was trying to be, Sokka’s advice really hits harder when Tenzin is finally able to let go of his false perception of himself. He may be the son of Avatar Aang, but he is so much more. He is Tenzin! I’d like to think that Sokka’s advice applied here more so than anywhere else because Tenzin is not Aang, he’s so much more.
  • “Hey, Zuko here!” Sokka: “Hey Tenzin, Uncle Sokka here!”

    It's so sad how Suki was erased from history in this things.
  • Those also feel like very Zuko things to say too lol like he started out saying “Uncle Sokka here…” which is how Zuko came up to the GAang too, and Zuko is skilled with swords despite being a fire bender.

    I cannot wait for 2025! Hopefully they'll show the kids as children before it ends after however many seasons we will get.

    Sokka: "Boy. Make my boomerang proud. AIR BENDING SLICE!" Tenzin: "I'm not sure that's a thing, Uncle..."
  • @westenev
    Considering it took 3 masters to beat down Tenzin, I think Tenzin took this to heart.
  • @2stepjoey
    Hearing Sokka's advice made me think of Tenzin's fight against the red lotus. Tenzin clearly took the advice to heart and building himself up physically probably helped him last as long as he did in the fight and live through it.

    It would be so awesome if we could see an older Sokka in a l future show or movie we’re he’s become a badass master swordsman and we get to see him completely wipe the floor with a group of enemies all by himself showing off his fancy skills.
  • So this brings up the thought in my mind that Bumi and Tenzin are both half Water Tribe. Didn't Sokka teach them how to be men as the leader of the Water Tribe? Did they do the same rite of passage he did with Batu? Do they know how to sail? Well, Bumi was in the Navy, so knows how to sail, but what about Tenzin? Did Sokka let Katara get away with not giving her kids a proper education?
  • I hope we get to learn more about Sokka's adult life. Did he get married, and why and when he died?
  • @DarthX4
    getting rid of sokka was the biggest mistake of legend of korra (seconded by the love stories), they missed so many opportunity, he could also have answered many things, not to forget act as a counter foil for amon. If I was writting it and had to have one member to team avatar (aside from aang) be dead, it would be katara and I would address it with a flashback where on her deathbed sokka brings the fortune teller and own she was wrong causing katara's last breath to be a laugh.

    That's such good advice. I was just watching a compilation of fight scenes with Ty Lee from ATLA and it got me thinking: Ty Lee can take all these benders out because they don't focus on close quarters combat. Throughout the series we see that bending encourages mid-ranged combat; many of Ty Lee's victories show her dodging the bending attack, rapidly closing the gap, then chi blocking the bender who is still recoiling in surprise. One person who notably gives her trouble is Suki during the gondola fight leaving the boiling prison: she's able to hold Ty Lee off the entire fight. No doubt Suki's proficiency in countering Ty Lee benefited from the Kyoshi Warriors' defeat at Team Azula's hands previously, but if the benders who tried to take down Ty Lee before stopped trying to bend against her when she got in close and focused on hand-to-hand combat, I think there's a much higher chance she would have been taken down. Just like Sokka says, bending isn't the answer to everything.
  • @Giulia-om2gl
    He mentioned Suki!I really hope they stayed together
  • The avatar maybe be master of all four elements but sokka was the master of all nations fighting styles. Every time he met a strong foe if he got the chance, he would learn how they fought, there strategies and how they lead . Truly a worthy person to entrust a nation or tribe . His father had faith in what type of leader his son would become.
  • The way this guy doesn't waste time with unnecessary story, he's the only YouTuber I've liked more than once
  • @cwa728
    I always wondered if Sokka went to look for Moon Sword later, or some rando just found it and sold it or something. I like to think Sokka saw it in some blacksmith’s “junk pile” for 2 copper pieces or something, and whether or not he was smart enough to buy it back and say nothing of its true value or if he ran his mouth in rage and the shop keep upped the price as a result of this “price appraisal”.

    I hope we get a moment with sokka and zuko talking about their mutual master
