Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Warriors of Kyoshi/Recap

""I am a warrior. But I'm a girl, too!""

On their quest to the Northern Water Tribe, Aang decides its of vital importance that he ride Giant Koi Fish, a distraction which results in the gang being captured. Much to Sokka's surprise, however, the group who captured them was a troop of warrior women. The sexism doesn't exactly make them sympathetic to letting the group go free, but it turns out that these are the Warriors of Kyoshi, named after the previous Earth Avatar, and thus are eager to help the Avatar. Aang's fame goes to his head as he attempts to impress Katara, while Sokka learns a lesson or two about gender equality from the Kyoshi Warriors- in particular, their pretty leader Suki. However, news that the Avatar is at Kyoshi Island spreads, just inviting Zuko to come...

Tropes:
"Prince Zuko: How am I going to find the Avatar? He is clearly a master of evasive maneuvering.
 * Amazon Brigade: How else could you describe the Kyoshi Warriors?
 * Answer Cut: When Aang says there is something about Kyoshi that makes him not want to leave, the camera pans to the right to reveal his giggling Groupie Brigade.
 * Character Development: Sokka learns not to be sexist. Zuko takes his mind off the Avatar to think about his crew for once.
 * Chekhov's Gun: Aang uses the unagi, with its ability to spout water, to extinguish the flames of the burning village.
 * Description Cut: Prince Zuko is trying to track down the Avatar.

Sokka: (cut to him talking to Aang) You have no idea where you're going, do you?"


 * Ensemble Darkhorse: For a guy who only gets two scenes in the entire series, Foamy Mouth Guy sure permeates the fandom.
 * Foreshadowing: "Relax, Sokka. Where we're going, you won't need any pants" foreshadows Sokka hooking up with Suki.
 * Groupie Brigade: Aang gets one of these for being the Avatar.
 * Hot Amazon: Suki ain't exactly hard on the eyes.
 * Mouth Cam: Aang swinging across the unagi's mouth.
 * One-Scene Wonder: Foamy Mouth Guy!
 * Shipping: Sokka gets his first kiss, and there's always the chance we may see Suki again...
 * Also, there's a lot of Katara/Aang going on.
 * Paper Fan of Doom: No, seriously, those fans are dangerous. Based on real life Japanese weapons, as well.
 * Riding Into the Sunset: Team Avatar, joined by the unagi.
