The Legend of Korra Season 1, Episode 5 The Spirit of Competition
Republic City is everything
that Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko fought for when they ended the
Hundred Year War. With balance restored to the four nations, benders and
non-benders can live together in peace, in this thriving metropolitan
area. But even the steampunk paradise of
Republic City has its problems, as the next Avatar discovers. When
Avatar Korra arrives in Republic City to master her airbending, she
comes face to face with criminal bending gangs as well as members of a
vocal anti-bending revolution. Before long, Korra's Avatar skills are
put to the test when she encounters a group of Chi-blockers led by the
charismatic and mysterious Amon, who threatens the city and all the
benders in it. Despite the immense danger, Korra vows to fight the
growing anti-bending revolution. But will she be able to stop Amon
before he rises to power and makes his vision of a bending-free world a
reality?
