The title card for Avatar: The Last Airbender appears at the end of the show's opening sequence.

The opening sequence is an introduction to the series Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. It is played at the beginning of every episode. As well, other Avatar media, such as Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game and Avatar: Generations also feature introductions done in the style of the animated series.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Sequence

The sequence opens by showcasing the four elemental bending styles: waterbending, earthbending, firebending, and airbending, performed by Pakku,[1] an unknown earthbender,[2] Azula, and an Air Nomad, respectively. The sequence cuts to a map of the Avatar world, followed by Katara's narration explaining the origins of the Hundred Year War launched by the Fire Nation. Avatar Roku is then seen bending all four elements before disappearing in a gust of air, just as Katara states that the Avatar disappeared when the world needed him most. Next, Katara and Sokka appear, followed by Aang, showing scenes from the first episode, with the title card appearing immediately after. Chinese characters appear at the top of the show's title card, translating as "the spiritual medium who has descended upon the mortal world".

Narration

Katara narrates the opening sequence. In the first episode, she states:

"Water. Earth. Fire. Air. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years have passed and the Fire Nation is nearing victory in the War. Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation, leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe. Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads, and that the cycle is broken. But I haven't lost hope. I still believe that somehow, the Avatar will return to save the world."

In subsequent episodes, she says:

"Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world."

In the unaired pilot episode, she says:

"Water. Earth. Fire. Air. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, how the four nations once lived in harmony. How everything changed once the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he disappeared. Nobody had seen him for a hundred years, until my brother and I found him, an airbender named Aang. The problem is, this Avatar is still a kid, and even though his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. The Fire Nation will do anything to capture Aang before he masters all four elements, so I must keep him safe until he's ready to fulfill his destiny. My brother thinks I'm crazy, but I believe Aang can save the world."

On the first page of The Promise Part One, Katara says:[3]

"Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother Sokka and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. Although his airbending skills were great, he had a lot to learn before he was ready to save anyone. But from the first day I met him, I believed Aang would save the world. And you know what? I was right. With the help of his friends, Aang defeated Fire Lord Ozai and ended the Hundred Year War. Zuko, Ozai's son and our ally, became the new Fire Lord. Together with Earth King Kuei, Aang and Zuko promised to return the nations to harmony."

The Legend of Korra

Sequence

The title card marks the end of the opening sequence for The Legend of Korra.

The show opens by showcasing the four most recent Avatars bending their native element: earthbending by Kyoshi, firebending by Roku, airbending by Aang, and waterbending by Korra. Behind each bender is calligraphy similar to that seen in the background of the original series. It subsequently shows a picture of Team Avatar, followed by a map of the Avatar World. After that, Tenzin explains the transformation of the Fire Nation colonies into the United Republic of Nations, before the picture zooms in on the capital: Republic City. A statue of Aang is seen on an island in the bay, and it is explained how the Avatar accomplished many remarkable feats in his life, before he eventually died and was reborn into the next nation of the Avatar Cycle.[4] As of the second episode, the opening sequence is much shorter; the display of bending is abridged to show only a few seconds of each element and the sequence skips over the origin of Republic City to show the statue of Aang, with Korra nearby striking a similar pose.

Narration

Tenzin narrates the opening sequence. In the first episode, he states:

"Earth. Fire. Air. Water. When I was a boy, my father, Avatar Aang, told me the story of how he and his friends heroically ended the Hundred Year War. Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko transformed the Fire Nation colonies into the United Republic of Nations, a society where benders and nonbenders from all over the world could live and thrive together in peace and harmony. They named the capital of this great land Republic City. Avatar Aang accomplished many remarkable things in his life, but sadly, his time in this world came to an end. And like the cycle of the seasons, the cycle of the Avatar began anew."

In subsequent episodes, he says:

"Earth. Fire. Air. Water. Only the Avatar can master all four elements and bring balance to the world."

Sequence

The title card marks the end of the opening sequence for Avatar Legends: The Roleplaying Game.

Unlike the opening sequences of the series, which all feature original animation, the opening of the roleplaying game primarily reuses animation from both series. The showcase of the bending arts has airbending performed by Zaheer, waterbending by Katara, earthbending by Bolin, and firebending by Zuko. Afterward, Iroh provides an explanation on the nature of the Avatar world, and how the bending arts both bind and divide its inhabitants apart, symbolized as a map of the four nations unfurls on an establishment's dining table, only to be wreathed in flame as a melted candle spills onto the parchment. Iroh further describes how, across multiple eras and generations of past Avatars, bending has been used to promote both balance and imbalance, represented by hanging tapestries outside the establishment that greatly resemble the spirits of peace and chaos, Raava and Vaatu. From the burnt cinders of the map, a book opens on the table, displaying the different symbols of the four elements, though Iroh notes that anyone is capable of pursuing balance like the Avatar, using skills like bending, weapons, technology, or even tea-making. Explaining that one's path to self-discovery exists by working with others, Iroh concludes his narration by stating an adventure awaits as an unknown individual buoys their dice with a miniature whirlwind before catching and casting them through the air.[5]

Narration

Iroh narrates the opening sequence. In the Kickstarter trailer for the roleplaying game, he states:

Air. Water. Earth. Fire. The elements that bind our world together are the same that break us apart. Across eras and generations, they have been the instruments of positive and negative, peace and chaos. Both balance, and imbalance. No matter if you lived in the yesteryears of Avatar Roku, the age of Avatar Aang, or the days of legends yet to come. The pursuit of balance is not for the Avatar alone. No. Or even just the benders of our world. No matter if you were born to master an element, or weaponry or technology, or perhaps the simple brewing of fine tea. No obstacle can be overcome without a journey to discover one's self. And only a fool travels alone. So walk this path together, and find your balance. A great adventure... awaits.

Avatar: Generations

Sequence

The artwork for the video game's title screen marks the end of the opening sequence for Avatar: Generations.

The opening sequence is somewhat similar to that of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. The showcase of the bending arts has waterbending performed by Korra, earthbending by Kyoshi, firebending by Roku, and airbending by Aang. As Katara explains the Avatar's role in bringing balance to the world, Korra is shown in the Avatar State, Wan is seen battling Vaatu, Yangchen battles General Old Iron, Kuruk stands before Koh without showing emotion, Roku tries to speak with Sozin, Kyoshi is ready to battle Jianzhu, and Aang is seen in the Avatar State beneath Fire Lord Ozai. As Katara speaks of the struggle between balance and chaos, the Fire Army is seen firebending during the Hundred Year War, and Raava and Vaatu battle during Harmonic Convergence. As she speaks of the legacy of the Avatars, all Avatars up to and including Aang are shown in the Avatar State.[6]

Narration

Katara narrates the opening sequence. At the beginning of the game, she states:

"Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Only the Avatar, can master all four elements and bring balance to the world. And each new era brings a new challenge. For the struggle between balance and chaos is eternal. This is the legacy of the Avatars, and these are their stories."

Trivia

• In the opening of both series, the airbenders featured are the only characters who begin their respective bending sequence without having both feet on the ground.
• Airbending is the only art to be performed by a man in both opening sequences.
• In the opening of both series, the element performed last is the native element of the Avatar in that series.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

• While Katara says the words "everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked", a line of firebenders is shown as they are seen in the series. However, the war began one hundred years prior, when the armor used by the Fire Nation military supposedly had large shoulder spikes and a faceless helmet, according to Arnook.[7]
• The unnamed earthbender in the initial sequence is a sort of prototype of Toph. However, Aaron Ehasz later suggested that the character should be a girl.[2]
• When Azula demonstrates firebending, she uses conventional fire rather than her trademark blue fire.
• Aang saves Katara from the fire dragon the magician sent her way in "The Deserter" with a move similar to the one performed by the Air Nomad in the opening sequence.
• In the opening sequence of the second episode, "The Avatar Returns", Katara states that she and her brother have discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang; however, she did not know at that time that Aang was the Avatar, discovering as such in the very same episode.
• The background with the statues near the end of the opening sequence was drawn by an Italian freelance artist.[8]

The Legend of Korra

• Kyoshi is shown bending an element for the first time without using her fans.
• Aang is wearing different clothes than those he wears in the actual series. These are also used for his design in the "Who is Amon?" photo album on Nickelodeon's website.[9]
• Korra uses a waterbending move similar to the one she used during the semifinal match against the Bau Ling Buzzard Wasps.[10]
• Tenzin uses an airbending move similar to that of Aang's while dueling Zaheer at the Northern Air Temple.[11]

A sketch of Team Avatar is featured in the opening sequence of the first episode of The Legend of Korra.

• In the extended opening sequence, there is a picture showing the original Team Avatar: Aang is in his original design used in Books One and Two, Katara is in her original Book One design, Toph is in her original Book Two design, Suki is in her Kyoshi Warriors makeup, Sokka is in his original Book One design but also has his space sword from Book Three, and Zuko is in his Book Three design.
  • This is Suki's only appearance and mention in the entirety of the series.
• All of the benders in the opening sequence are Avatars, past or current.
• J. K. Simmons did the narration for the extended opening sequence in his first recording session for Tenzin, with his first take being used in the episode.[12]
• The shot in the opening sequence of Korra standing in front of Aang's statue was based off a painting done by Fred Stewart, with its further design and animation being done by Joshua Middleton, Lauren Montgomery, and Joaquim Dos Santos.[13][14]
• In most episodes, Shiro Shinobi narrates a recap of events from previous episodes, shown with an effect similar to newsreels from the 1920s. This recap is similar to Roku's "Previously on Avatar" sequence from the first series.
  • When developing the recaps, the creators could only devote twenty seconds of an episode's runtime to the segment. Taking inspiration from the recaps of certain anime, wherein a character would narrate the prior events while in-character, the creators decided to use Shiro, given his role as an announcer.[13]

• As noted previously, the majority of the opening sequence for the roleplaying game uses animation and scenes from Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.
  • Zaheer launching multiple air kicks was from the episode "Enter the Void" during his fight against Korra and Tonraq on Laghima's Peak.
  • Katara drawing water from the ground as a ring around herself before streaming it forward was from the episode "The Puppetmaster" during her fight against Hama.
  • Bolin folding up several earth slabs was from the episode "Enter the Void" as he tried to hold back Ghazan's lava flow at the Northern Air Temple.
  • Zuko intertwining two fire blasts was from the episode "Sozin's Comet, Part 3: Into the Inferno" during his Agni Kai against Azula.
• Scenes from the following episodes are shown during the opening sequence:
  • "The Northern Air Temple"
  • "The Siege of the North, Part 1"
  • "The Avatar State"
  • "The Library"
  • "The Serpent's Pass"
  • "Lake Laogai"
  • "The Guru"

  • "Sozin's Comet, Part 4: Avatar Aang"
  • "The Spirit of Competition"
  • "The Aftermath"
  • "Endgame"
  • "The Southern Lights"
  • "Harmonic Convergence"

Avatar: Generations

• The opening sequence for the video game visually depicts several events that had only been detailed in passing or depicted in other forms of media, namely Kuruk's confrontation of Koh that was referenced in "The Siege of the North, Part 2", Kyoshi's final battle with Jianzhu from "The Rise of Kyoshi" novel, and one of Raava and Vaatu's past conflicts during Harmonic Convergence mentioned during "Beginnings, Part 2".
  • The opening sequence also marks the first showcase of Jianzhu's design, which was based off the fan arts of user "kkachi95".
