Restoring the Air Benders.

but Pema isnt airbender and she has 4 airbending kids

Seeing as humans can't asexually procreate, I wonder what other part of the equation made for her to give birth to 4 airbenders. I...I don't know. This one seems to slip me. I just, I don't know man. There seems to be an element here that's missing.

Quote the whole sentence please, it looks weird now. I am sure you know what i meant with Pema. Katara isnt airbender too and she has Tenzin. Wondering, if you read what i was answering for, sounds like that guy was thinking that only airbenders can produce airbenders which is true only for 50%.

Anyway, I think it's also important to note that the rate in which Tenzin and Pema are popping out Airbenders is likely do to the "spiritual balance" of the world. I remember hearing in some TLA episode or elsewhere that people are born with bending powers due to their own spirituality, as well as by a means of balancing out the four elements around the world. Since the world completely lacks Airbenders, the rate of having an Airbender child is great.

Bumi should be airbender then, so is Kya ... Why Pema so lucky 4of4 and Aang only 1of3 kids... weird balancing

As with anything birth-related, genetics plays a huge role in characteristics that are shown. Tenzin was born with the airbending gene, and he passed it to his children( we still don't know if Rohan will be an airbender btw). Him and Pema may still produce a non-bender, we most likely will never know though. I'm also pretty sure one of Katara's and Aang's kids was a waterbender, so her genes won out on that one. It's all a crap shoot.

Be careful that you don't distort what I say. It is the rate of people born as airbenders that increases. That isn't to say that every single child born will be airbenders until there's an exactly even amount of airbenders as there is any other bender in the world.

You're expecting him to not distort what you say? Good luck.

I don't think we'll have random airbenders popping out of nowhere. Otherwise the threat of wiping out the airbenders wouldn't be such a threat. Tenzin, Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo are probably the only ones capable of passing that gene seeing as they are airbenders themselves. Maybe Kya, and maybe Bumi (recessive gene? idfk).

All in all, I'm more inclined to side with a less spiritual belief on how the passing of bending genes work. (Unless we see otherwise as dictated by the show. ie. "Wow, a secret colony of airbenders!" etc.)

I mostly expecting you to start act like adult and stop shiting on my head, thank you.

Archsage: No, no I am not trying to distort anything, of course it is not 100% that your child will be airbender since there is least in the world... i just theoreticaly speculating ahahah

Aw sweetie. You're too cute.
It's okay. Enjoy you're time here while it lasts before you get banned.

Anywho, by the by, anyway~~ I was re-reading some of the posts, and yeah, you're right @TheFireLord, we don't know if Rohan is an airbender. Do you guys think they'll tell us? I'm not sure if it matters.

Katara in episode 1 said that she feels he is strong and another bender in Pema family...

Katara also isn't God and is bound to make mistakes, yo.

Of course there is always more options and thats why we speculate and if you will comment all this way, we will never get anywhere

How could Katara say something like that? She had to feel him somehow. She would feel nothing if he is a non-bender. How did she feel it? Probably with bloodbending? But the point is she did really feel his strength

Well, she is human, not a Goddess. We as humans have "feelings" and "inklings" that can be way off. xD It could have been a device so you understand Pema's character better, since she really disliked the idea. I'd say three airbenders is a great start if Rohan isn't an airbender. Can't expect poor Pema to just keep spitting out babies until there is enough airbenders to go around. XD
