Avatar Kuruk

by **yoshiheath** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 7:56 pm

It's time we worship our wonderful Avatar Kuruk. This is from wikipedia.

Avatar Kuruk was the last Avatar incarnate born out of the Northern Water Tribe. Kuruk was a gifted but thingy (editted)y Avatar who enjoyed constantly searching for people to challenge his bending prowess, usually for no other reason than the sake of it. He also liked providing others with grand displays of his bending ability, especially in regards to women. Never having even the slightest thoughts of settling down, Kuruk went on with this up until the day he met the love of his life. At the New Moon Celebration, a meeting of the Northern and Southern Water Tribes, he met a woman named Ummi from the Southern Water Tribe and they fell in love at first sight. Shortly after, Kuruk presented her with a customary betrothal necklace, which she accepted, and the two were to be married at the Spirit Oasis. On the night of their wedding, as they approached the altar, Ummi fell into the pond, seemingly pulled in by an unseen force. As it turns out, she had been taken by the spirit Koh to punish Kuruk for his past actions. Ever since that day, on the anniversary of their wedding, Kuruk has traveled to the Spirit World in hopes of saving Ummi, but has failed on every attempt. Now in the Spirit World, Avatar Kuruk still searches for his wife, with information on her present state imparted to him by a brief encounter with Aang enticing him even further.

No offense to Avatar Kuruk, but he sounds a little(*cough*) vain. Still, he sounds like a really loyal husband, what with searching for his beloved even long after death. I admire that. 8-)

by **yoshiheath** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 8:11 am

possibly. I doubt it though. they may do another online comic thing. I doubt it but it's possible.

by **kataang** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 12:45 pm

That would b really awesome if he finds her in book 3

by **travahar** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 6:18 pm

Why does he always attack on that one day?
Hasn't he thought of a surprise attack (one day earlier for example)

Hey who was the past avatar who had a wife who's face was stolen from a monster from the spirit world?

by **travahar** » Mon Aug 06, 2007 8:38 pm

Uhm, gee, I don't know, why don't you read the first post maybe you'll find your answer there?

Hey who was the past avatar who had a wife who's face was stolen from a monster from the spirit world?

no he didn't just ask that retarded question. excuse my language but this is really stupid. i hope he was joking. and if he was, he shouldn't jok like that or people really will think he is stupid. *walks out annoyed*

Maybe this is a little irrelevant, or maybe you guys are already aware, but:

Ummi, Avatar Kuruk's wife, is similar to 'umi' which is the japanese word for sea/beach.

by **aikidude** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 12:35 pm

I don't think that's relevant....

by **hamano** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 2:12 pm

Haha, I knew it. Sorry. ^^;

Anyways, I don't think they'll feature Avatar Kuruk (or Yangchen) in Book 3, maybe cameos. Book 3 is all about infiltrating the Fire Nation, I guess (from what I saw in the trailer). I don't think there'll be enough time to put in Avatar Kuruk's adventures in the Spirit World.

An online comic thingy featuring Kuruk vs Koh, perhaps?

by **yoshiheath** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 4:57 pm

he may have a flashback of them

by **SOAF** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 7:25 pm

just a quick post.

aangs actions in "the awakening" reveal essense of avatar kuruk hence this image.

by **Artefacto** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 7:28 pm

hey, nice observation. It could have just been a coincidence in the animation, but it's a nice reference nonetheless.

by **azulafan** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 7:30 pm

mabey he finds her in season 3???

that would be great. i always wondered about avatars before roku. what's about a yangchen episode?

by **SOAF** » Sat Sep 22, 2007 7:31 pm

but he was almost in exactly the same position but on a plank of wood.

^ what epi is that image from ^ ??
