In this episode of Avatar State Radio, Kev and Mike discuss The Warriors of Kyoshi, where Sokka’s initial sexism is challenged, and he begins to show real growth. Meanwhile, Aang enjoys his newfound celebrity as the Avatar, seeking Katara’s attention but learning some unexpected lessons about jealousy when it comes from her instead.

The hosts explore Kyoshi Island’s unique place in the world, having stayed out of the war but deeply respecting the Avatar. Will they eventually join the fight against the Fire Nation? Aang embraces his role as the Avatar for the first time, but he also learns the dangers of staying in one place too long as Zuko is always close behind.

It’s a memorable episode featuring the iconic Foaming Mouth Guy and the terrifying UNAGI, along with the first time Aang enters the Avatar State. While Kev describes it as a “lower-key” episode, he notes the significant character development it offers, particularly in Aang’s confidence (or ego). Will Aang’s childish tendencies give way to greater maturity as the series progresses?

Mike’s Trivia Corner:

• Kyoshi’s culture is heavily inspired by Japanese traditions.
