#BUMI AVATAR KORRA CODE#
Being a former military man, Bumi is also proficient in Morse Code and cryptonyms, being fluent in code name conventions.īumi also has some skill playing the flute, enabling him to produce sounds that can subdue a dark spirit on occasion if the entity is perceptible to it. He also has some degree of physical strength, as he was able to carry both Mako and Bolin at the same time whilst they were unconscious. He describes himself as having an acute intellect and cat-like reflexes, which he proved with his proficiency in boxing and knife-throwing. He is known to finish his missions using unorthodox and sometimes bizarre strategies, to a point where Tenzin deemed his stories as absurd and convoluted. He is renowned for his strategic thinking and courage, though these attributes are often overshadowed by his apparent immaturity. He is shown to have great charisma, able to quickly rally supporters in battle.

Growing up a nonbender, Bumi instead fought with quick footwork and boxing techniques.īumi is a capable leader, having formerly been a commander of the United Forces' Second Division. He is able to use airbending to save his sister and himself from falling down the mountain ranges in the Northern Air Temple. He is able to follow the airbending style of "getting behind your opponent" as shown when he dodged Ghazan's lavabending and jumped on his back to tackle him from behind. He was able to take on Ghazan, an earthbending and lavabending master for a short amount of time. At first they only manifested when scared for his safety however after a few weeks of practice, Bumi was able to demonstrate multiple air blasts at will. Despite his extrovert nature, Bumi felt guilty over not having been born an airbender like his father wanted, though hoped nonetheless that he was making Aang proud by devoting his life to making the world a better place.īumi is also a bit of a story teller, able to turn "a story about buying figs into a feat of derring-do".īumi has an affinity with the spirits, being able to partially understand them and easily befriending a dragonfly bunny spirit whom he named Bum-Ju.Īfter the Harmonic Convergence of 171 AG, Bumi developed airbending abilities. Growing up as the only nonbender in his family, he adopted a wild, determined personality to prove that he can do everything a bender can, something he was proud of. Bumi is described by General Iroh as being a "bit of a wild man, but the bravest commander you'll ever meet", a statement he partially confirmed when releasing a large celebratory bellow as his way of greeting those awaiting his arrival at Republic City. When Pema asked Katara if Tenzin and his siblings were as rambunctious as her own children, Katara replied by saying that Bumi was. Despite his immaturity, Bumi is known for his leadership, strategy and bravery. Before his retirement, he was a respected commander of the United Force. Originally a nonbender, he later developed airbending abilities in season 3 after Harmonic Convergence. Bumi is Avatar Aang and Katara's first child and eldest son.
