The Legend of Korra/Recap/B3/E02 Rebirth

Describe episode here.


 * A Protagonist Is Ryu: Possibly a Subversion, if the name was deliberately chosen to invoke an Intended Audience Reaction. In Korra and crew's search for airbenders, they visit the household of one 22-year-old Ryu. With a name like that, one would expect him to be a new major secondary character, perhaps even a replacement love interest for Korra. But aside from being a young male, he turns out to fit none of the characteristics. He's introverted, unenthusiastic, selfish, mooches off his mother, is too lazy to take advantage of his new gift, and would rather let the world fall to pieces around him than do any kind of work. They ultimately fail to convince him to join.
 * Basement Dweller: Ryu.
