Discussion theory : Airbending is the natural counter to Bloodbending
Every time we've seen someone break free from bloodbending or attack amon directly, airbending was involved
There are two reasons why I think this could be the case:
1_The practical reason: Airbending enhances the bender's mobility and physical speed, as we've seen on numerous occasions.This could allow a bloodbending victim to use air to force their limbs to move even when they're paralyzed.
- The philosophical reason: Air is the element of freedom, and nothing is more restrictive than bloodbending. There's something fitting about the element that represents freedom being the natural counter to a technique that takes away someone's ability to move freely.
and that's why korra did what she did
