Absolutely Incredible!

I will avoid spoilers

1. Animation is breathtaking 2. Voice acting is on point 3. Plot moves quickly and interestingly 4. Plenty of Avatar quirkiness 5. Plenty of mystery 6. Pushes The boundaries of a kid's show even further

Overall it is just a completely spectacular and exciting episode. It is unlike any episode of Korra before it and the underlying mystery behind Zaheer's intentions still remains. It is also very interesting to see the result of the demise of the Earth Queen in the previous episode and all other building blocks that have been leading to this incredible episode. Korra needs to act quickly and the tension continues to build.

Phenomenal

[sailorman-12617 · 10/10 · 17 November 2020]

While some shows tend to nerf protagonists or buff antagonists in order to have the bad guys win, it isn't the case in The Legend of Korra. Zaheer and The Red Lotus had been shown to be overwhelming foes while Tenzin had never really been seen fighting. However, that didn't mean that the show ignored that he's a Master Airbender; it made sure the viewer remembered that in every frame. Zaheer is formidable, agile, and highly skilled, but logically, he was no match to a Master Airbender. Tenzin was eventually set against all three of the most dangerous benders in the world: Ghazan, Ming-Hua, and Zaheer, each of whom is capable of dispatching armies of highly skilled benders alone, and Tenzin was more than capable of creating a pattern to keep up with them within seconds. He only loses because of P'Li.

This is the work of writers who truly respect their characters and prioritize them over plot convenience. They didn't just write that Tenzin would lose the fight. They designed a fight overwhelming enough for him to lose. Masterful writing, and the beautiful animations and fight choreography only adds to the beauty.

Superb episode

[irrashaimase1 · 10/10 · 16 August 2014]

All that can truly be said about this episode is that it was an excitement filled, action packed, off your seat kind of episode. Zaheer has truly shown us that he is a worthy antagonist. You could previously sympathize or at least understand his ideals and why he fights on. I'm not so sure now. Him and his crew truly seem to be the anti-gaang team. They're all really powerful benders, so you can bet we're going to see even more of what the boundaries of bending can do! Also, the bending fights are a sight to behold as usual with Studio Mir. After Mir did the Wan episodes and then signed on for this season, I knew we were in for a epic bending treat. This episode will have you screaming for more and is just perfect to lead into the season finale. Is it Friday yet?

Harsh & tough episode! Splendid!

The fight at the end is superb! Beyond harmlessness - and child friendliness! This roughness is what I want. I'm really curious what is behind Zaheer's intention. All four antagonists are interesting and capable of performing tremendous fights. I love the characters and how they are written. After season one I thought that the upcoming seasons wont be approximately phenomenal as the first one. But despite the rather weaker season two (still superb), book three is just absolutely flashing! I can't get enough of this show!
