The Legend of Korra/Recap/B1/E03 The Revelation: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

The episode begins with an early morning training session for the Fire Ferrets, which is interrupted when the head of the Pro-Bending arena comes to give them the prize money for winning their match. He immediately takes it all away to pay for equipment, housing, groceries, and to tell the brothers that they had better hand over 30,000 yuans if they want to compete.

Korra and Mako give chase on Naga, but the kidnappers aren't going to let them follow. Two double-back on motorcycles, and manage to trap the polar-bear dog. Korra and Mako throw everything they have at them, but they're like lightning, striking quickly and efficiently. They mooks are chi-blockers as well, able to temporarily prevent bending. Korra and Mako are saved by Naga escaping her bonds just in time. The Equalists escape, leaving Korra and Mako without a clue to where Bolin has been taken.

 

 

The next day, Mako and Korra have [[Sleep Cute|fallen asleep]], and wake up to the protester's chant. They try to extort him for information. He initially refuses to talk, but he lets slip that the Equalists are having a rally that night where their leader, Amon, will reveal something amazing the world. The heroes make a quick getaway, with Mako snagging a few of their posters. The posters turn out to be a puzzle. On the back there is a map which, when put together, shows the location of the rally.

Sure enough, Korra returns to the Air Temple and tells Tenzin what she saw. While shocked at the news, he believes her and proclaims if he wields such power, then all benders are in danger. The two look worriedly at the Republic City in the distance as the episode comes to a close.

 

 

* [[Asshole Victim]]: Lightning Bolt Zolt, leader of the Triple Threat Triad {{spoiler|is the first to get his bending permanently taken away.}}

* [[De-Power]]: {{spoiler|The three members of the Triple Threat Triad after Amon energybends away their powers.}}

* [[Fake-Out Make-Out]]: A mild version; Korra clings demurely to Mako's arm to look innocent.

* [[Ironic Echo]]: What Lightning Bolt Zolt says after {{spoiler|Amon takes his Bending away}} is the exact same thing Ozai says to Aang in [[Avatar: The Last Airbender/Recap/Book 3/21 Sozin's Comet Part 4: Avatar Aang|the finale]] to ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. He even {{spoiler|tries and fails to use firebending}} like Ozai.

* [[Not a Morning Person]]

* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: Either Amon's forces capture Korra, and Amon wins {{spoiler|(which doesn't happen, of course)}} or Korra escapes, allowing horrified benders to hear the true power of Amon from the Avatar herself.
