Line 7:
* In the finale, Toph calls Sokka "[[The Flash|Captain Boomerang]]".
* Also from the finale, Phoenix King Ozai says, "It's time for this world to end in fire," sounding very similar to part of a the Robert Frost poem [http://www.bartleby.com/155/2.html "Fire and Ice"].
* The "Love and Peace" line in the finale is a [[Shout -Out]] to Vash the Stampede, who used the line "Love and Peace" frequently in ''[[Trigun]]''. All {{spoiler|Zuko}} lacked was the "Peace Sign" hand gesture.
* All of the shoutouts and affectionate parodies of [[Professional Wrestling]] in the Earth Rumble crew.
* The creators stated that they were also fans of ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'', and decided to have the forest where Aang and Ozai fight named after the series currency, Wulongs. Then there's Sokka's [[Mushroom Samba|Cactus Tango]].
Line 15:
* Katara parting the waters in "The Serpent's Pass" doubles as a shout out to both ''[[The Bible (Literature)|The Bible]]'' and ''[[The Prince of Egypt]]''. The latter only because of the serpent's silhouette showing the waters in the same manner that a shark's did in the movie.
* The gate to the Serpent's Pass tells people to "abandon hope" as do the gates of Hell in [[The Divine Comedy (Literature)|Dante's Inferno]].
* Iroh tells Zuko he needs to ask himself the "big questions": [[Babylon 5 (TV)|"Who are you?" and "What do you want?"]]
* When the unagi rises out of the water and is seen in profile, it's quite reminiscent of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|Unit 01]].
* When Katara, disguised as the Painted Lady, begins approaching Fire Nation soldiers a child says "She's com-ing!" in the exact same tone as the line [[Poltergeist (Film)|"They're he-re!"]]
