Chibi Avatar



"Don't make me use my moon powers on you!"

- Princess Yue

Chibi Avatar is a three-episode series of shorts on based on the Animated Series Avatar: The Last Airbender that were released on the Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 DVD (season 3 in PAL regions).

This short series uses a Chibi art style and soft pastel colors to tell funny, blatantly non-Canon stories about the series' characters, one of which was set in a strange elementary school AU. The characters are depicted as much younger than their canonical incarnations and interacting in light, improbable ways.

More information, including plot summaries of the three episodes, can be found on the relevant page of the Avatar: The Last Airbender wiki.

Contains examples of the following tropes:
""DON'T MAKE ME USE MY MOON POWERS ON YOU!""
 * Berserk Button: Don't call Zuko tiny. Or cute.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: Yue.

""What's that supposed to be, Sokka?"
 * Blinding Bangs: Toph
 * Broken Aesop: Iroh gives one. "Now I hope that you can see that each element has its own strengths and weaknesses. But fire is the best!"
 * Butt Monkey: Sokka, not that this is a huge shift. In Bending Battle, Aang, Toph and Katara all use him as a dummy to show off their powers, and in Swamp Skiing, well...
 * Chibi
 * Convection, Schmonvection: Zuko riding on a lava dragon.
 * Didn't See That Coming: Zuko, when Katara reveals who she's going to the dance with:.

 * Pinball Gag: Toph uses earthbending to make Sokka a living pinball.
