Bato of the Water TribeEpisode Number: 15 Season Num: 1 First Aired: Friday October 7, 2005 Prod Code: 115 |
Aang feels neglected as Katara and Sokka reunite with Bato, an old friend of their father's from the South Pole. They begin to reminisce on their times in the past while they wait for a message to arrive from their father; in which Aang believes Katara and Sokka will abandon him and go out to find their father should the message arrive. However, when the messenger gives Aang the message to give to Bato, Aang betrays his friends in a way Katara or Sokka could never imagine. However, when Zuko recruits a bounty hunter named June to track Aang down. His friendship is put to the test, as he must deal with the fact that he betrayed his friends while defending himself from yet another fight.

Aang recovers Katara's necklace, which she lost in Imprisoned during his battle with Zuko.
(edit)
It is hinted in this episode that the airbenders learned from the flying bison how to airbend, because we see that Appa's tail can be used to make huge wind gusts that can rip through buildings.
(edit)
June's design is based off of Avatar post-production manager, Lisa Yang, even down to the boots.
(edit)
When Aang and Zuko are on a rooftop fighting, Zuko charges at Aang with fire to his right. A few seconds later, when the fight turns around, Aang uses the same move on the rooftop, only with air.
(edit)
"Bato" is the Filipino word for "stone" or rock. The language this is said in is called Tagalog.
(edit)
Zuko: How stupid do you think I am?
Sokka: Pretty stupid. Run!! (edit) Zuko: (as he pushes through the crowd) Out of my way! Step aside, filth!
Iroh: (to the crowd) He means no offence! I'm certain you bathe regularly.
(edit) Aang: Ok! I get it, everybody wants me gone. (edit) Aunt Wu: Care to hear your fortune, handsome?
Iroh: At my age there is really only one big surprise left, and I'd just as soon leave it a mystery. (edit) Aang (just plops in the room): Hey everyone, sorry I was gone so long.
Katara: Hey Aang, I didn't notice you left.
Aang: Yup but now I'm back...Suure could go for some delicious sea prunes. (scoops up a bowl and starts shoveling food down, spitting the prunes out and then eating again)ummm,ummmm, blechha, ummmm (Everyone looks at Aang like he's crazy) (edit)

Throughout the fight scene, the building automatically repairs itself, and/or moves the damage around. i.e.: when Aang gets up after the big explosion, then jumps over Zuko's fire-blast, he lands next to a spot where all the shingles are destroyed, despite the fact that he landed much farther away. also, the area above where Sokka has his "im getting some feeling back" quote repairs itself.
(edit)
When the Shirshu first jumps on Zuko's boat, it scatters some firebenders who wear the trademark helmet and mask. but when they form up behind Zuko a second later, they are dressed as usual foot soldiers, lacking the special helmet.
(edit)
When Zuko, Iroh, and June are searching for Aang using the scent of Katara's necklace, they stop at the herbalist's house. We last saw the herbalist in The Blue Spirit, but only Aang travels to her, not Katara. Reason behind this is because she and Sokka were sick, which is why Aang went to the herbalist.
(edit)
When Aang recovers from his smack into the roof he's lying on the broken tiles that he made. But then when Zuko runs down the peak of the roof, Aang is suddenly standing on the peak as well.
(edit)
As Aang and Zuko are about to bend to make the large explosion, as Zuko turns it appears that his previous stance has remained behind him, giving Zuko three legs and two waists.
(edit)
The water ship used in this episode resembles, an average olden day ship in the way that everything has to be done manually.
(edit)
The fighter June arm wrestles at the bar is based off various Street Fighter II characters, such as Guile and Ryu.
