List of Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes

Avatar: The Last Airbender had 54 full episodes, 61 with 7 being in parts and it is an Emmy-winning American television series. It was written and created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. It was first shown on television on 21 February 2005 with a one-hour series premiere,[1] and ended its run with a two-hour TV movie on 19 July 2008.[2] The Avatar franchise calls each season a "Book", in which each episode is called a "chapter". Each "Book" takes its name from one of the elements that the protagonist (Aang) must control: Water, Earth, and Fire.[Notes 1][1] The show's first two seasons each had 20 episodes, while the third season had 21. In addition to the three seasons, there were two recap episodes and three "shorts". The first recap summarized the first seventeen episodes while the second summarized season two. The first self-parody was released via an online flash game. The second and third were released with the Complete Second Season Box Set DVD.[3] The entire series has been released on Region 1 DVD (USA), but only part of the series has been released for Region 2 (Europe).

In the Avatar world, there are people who are able to control, or "bend", the four elements: Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. Along with the four elements, there are four nations that correspond with each element. Not everyone can bend an element, and those that can are only able to bend one. However, The Avatar is able to control all four elements as well as communicate with the spirits. The Avatar is also born into one nation, and after dying, is reincarnated into another nation following the pattern of Air, Water, Earth, Fire. The series takes place 100 years after the Fire nation started a war against all other nations and has killed off all air benders in search of finding the avatar who has been reincarnated as an air bender, Aang. The avatar, trapped in ice for 100 years knows nothing of the war. The series starts with Aang being accidentally freed by Katara and Sokka. The series then primarily follows the adventures of Aang and his companions, Sokka, Katara, and later Toph, as he tries to master all four elements and defeat the fire nation. There is also a strong secondary focus on Zuko, banished and disinherited crown prince of the Fire Nation. Zuko was burned by his own father, the Fire Lord Ozai. Zuko then tries to capture Aang in order to regain his peerage and honor, but in the end he help Aang to master the fire.

Notes

  1. Aang is an airbender, so he had already mastered the air
